Emotional Rainbow

I Can't Wait

The next morning, I wake up around eight. I lay in bed for a few minutes thinking. What a difference one week can make. Nine days ago, I was an emotionally constipated asshole who couldn't even admit that he had friends. And now, not only have I told people that I care about them, I even have a boyfriend.

All because of some low life's crappy quirk. Now I need to talk with Mr. Aizawa to make sure it is truly gone. I get out of bed and pull out my original list to look it over.

1. Black-Aizawa   Done
2. Yellow-Denki and Hanta    Done
3. Pink-Mina and Kyoka     Done
4. Purple-Eyebags
5. Brown-Roundface
6. Green-fucking Deku
7. Red-Shitty Hair

Looking at the list now kind of makes me feel bad. I need to change this list to show how this list changed me. I update it to show my own attitude change as well as to show that I have completed each color and person on the list.

My new list shows:

1. Black-Aizawa Sensei   Done
2. Yellow-Denki and Hanta   Done
3. Pink-Mina and Kyoka      Done
4. Purple-Shinsou     Done
5. Brown-Uraraka and Todoroki   Done
6. Green-Deku   Done
7. Red-Ejiro   Done

Satisfied with the changes, I go about getting ready to go and talk with Mr Aizawa. It is a Sunday but I'm hoping to catch him around the school grounds.

I stop by Ejiro's room first to let him know I'll be out for a bit. "Hey Ei!" I call out as I knock on his door. "You up yet?"

I hear some shuffling and some very quick steps before the door is flung open. "Katsuki?" He whispered. He started to reach his hand towards me then quickly took it back. He had this look on his face of confusion mixed with hope. It was priceless.

I chuckled slightly as I walked into his room. I shut the door behind me and then wrapped my arms around his waist. "Good morning." I say softly before placing a small kiss on his lips.

"So it wasn't a dream? You really are mine now?" He asked , his voice barely above a whisper.

"All yours." I answer as I pull him closer to my chest. I hear him sigh as he snuggles into my arms. "I was just stopping by on my way to talk with Sensei Aizawa."

He lifts his head to look at me, with a sweet smile on his face. "Did you want me to come with you?"

"Well," I start, "as much as I want to be with you, I think I have to do this part on my own. But I'll come find you afterwards. Ok?"

With a look of understanding, he replies, "Ok, I'll be waiting for you. I can't wait to spend more time together. Just the two of us."

I squeeze him tighter, "I don't know what I did to deserve you. But dam, I'm glad you're mine."

"Katsuki," he gasped as his checks flush pink. "I never imagined you'd be this mushy." He then buried his face into the crook of my neck.

"Me neither," I chuckle. "You just make me so fucking happy that I can't help it." I place a kiss on his temple and let go. "I need to get going. The quicker I find him and talk, the quicker I can be back here with you."

He leans in for one more small kiss before letting go and saying, "I'll be here waiting for you."

I turn and leave his room and walk down the hall. Now to figure out where I could find Aizawa.  I make my way to the common room, check the kitchen and then head outside.

I finally found him walking around the dorms on patrol. "Sensei!" I called to get his attention as I started to jog towards him.

He turned his head in my direction, "Morning Bakugo. I see you currently have your own hair color. Does this mean that you have finished with the quirk reaction?"

I stop as I catch up to him, "That's actually what I came to discuss with you. I think I've finished but I don't know how to know for sure."

He nods his head, "I see. Let's start by you telling me the number of hair changes and the people you confessed to."

I pull out my list and hand it to him, "I made this list. I had seven colors and ten people. I spoke with each of them and after each confession, my hair would go back to normal until I saw someone else on my list." I paused to look up at him. "My hair has stayed normal since I confessed to Eijiro. So does that mean I'm done or is there more to it?"

He cocked an eyebrow at me and looked down at the list. "This is an interesting group you have written down here. Some of which I'm sure were very difficult for you." He stopped as he looked back up at me with a stoic expression on his face. "How are you feeling now?"

I had to fight the urge to not let myself smile. "Honestly, I feel better than I probably have in a long time. I still have a long way to go when it comes to showing emotions, but after this last week I've decided that I'm tired of hiding how I really feel all the time."

With a small smile and a knowing nod he reached out and put his hand on my shoulder. "Showing your emotions can be very difficult for some people, you and I included. But learning when and how to show them can make you into an amazing person. I am so very proud of you for facing this head on and not being blinded by your own anger at the situation." He paused as he took back his hand. "As far as I know, this should be all there is to it, but I can check with the villain again if you'd like, just to be sure."

"Yes sir," I bow with a slight chuckle. "I'd hate to lose my emotions right when I've finally decided to acknowledge them."

He answers with a huff of a laugh, "Alright then, I will call the prison as soon as I get back to my office. If there's anything else needed to be done, I'll come find you immediately."

"Thank you Sensei." I say and bow again.

"Of course, problem child." He says with a small smirk on his face. "Of course." He then turns to continue on his patrol.

I turn around to head back inside. As I'm walking and I can't help but think about the past and the future. Although this has been a difficult week, I know that I am better off because of everything that happened. I plan on letting my friends know more often that I actually do care about them, but with a little less yelling. I will try to have a more healthy rivalry with those that I see as equals, especially Deku. And then there's Ejiro. Just the thought of him and of us being together brings a smile to my face.

I get back to the dorms and am standing in front of Ejiro's room again. "Hey Ei!" I call out as I knock.

The door opens almost immediately and all I see is a blur of red coming at me. "Kat! You're finally back." He manages to say quickly before his lips are on mine. He pulls back to say softly, "I missed you."

"Missed you too," I answer as we walk into his room together.

The door shuts behind us and he is back in my arms again. I hear a sigh as his lips find mine. I tilt my head to deepen the kiss. My hands find their way around his neck and into his hair just as his hands find their way around my waist to pull me closer. I lick his bottom lip and feel him shudder as his mouth opens to mine. I will never get used to this.

After several long minutes, we pull away from each other to catch our breath. I stare into his gorgeous red eyes. "This is the first day of the rest of our lives together."

With a smile that lit up his whole face, he responded. "I can't wait."
