Secret obsession • Bakudeku story

Part 12

Still Deku's Pov

"Oh no it is fine,Deku", Uraraka said. "Yeah I should probably get going anyways", Todoroki said getting up front his seat and stretching. "Get better Deku", Iida says smiling.

They were heading out the door when they saw Bakugo holding a bag in my front porch. Couldn't be perfect timing, I thought to myself.

"Bakugo, what are you doing here", Uraraka asks with a puzzled look.

"Well what does it look like- giving Deku food. Although it is none of your business", he growled. "Oh.......Kay. But I thought you hated Deku", Uraraka said.

"I do, my mom told me if I didn't bring him food, that she'll ground my ass", he said defensively. "But why does your mom want you to bring him food", Iida questioned.

"Like it's any of your business, extra-", Bakugo said before I cut him off. "Well my mom told his mom that I'm sick and I guess his mom just wanted to make sure I ate properly ".

"Interesting", Iida said stroking his chin. "I guess we should go", Todoroki said in a supringsly upsetting tone.

I can't believe I just lied to my friends. And for what? I care for Bakugo, of course I do. I just hate lying to my friends. I can't ask of him to come out, that is a horrible thing to ask. But I just wonder. How much longer will the lying and the hiding go? Because I can't take it much longer.

They left leaving me and Bakugo alone. "That was a close one", Bakugo said slightly chuckling.

"Yeah", I said in discouraging tone. He realized as soon as I said it. "Hey are you okay, Izuku ", he said putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Y-yeah totally, I'm fine", I said faking a smile. "Okay, good. So how do you feel about eating, now", he said looking deep in my eyes with a smile.

"Sounds great ", I said. I want to tell him, I really do but- I don't want him to feel bad. It'll only make me feel worse. But until then, I will just wait.

Time passed ; Bakugou's Pov

We had just finished eating takeout, when Deku asked me a question.

"W-when are you p-planning to come out-not that you need to rush it, it was just a question that popped into my head", he asked looking deep into my eyes, as if he was trying to figure me out like an unfinished puzzle.

My heart start to race, and I felt as if it was going to bang out of my chest. Why am I so nervous? He just asked a simple question. All I need to say is one sentence- that's it. But I couldn't manage to let one word out of my mouth. I can fight a villain but can't do this. How fucking weak am I?

"You don't have to answer. It was a stupid question to ask, anyways", he said looking down at the floor as if he was disappointed.

Damnit! Just fucking say something- anything at this point. It doesn't even have to make sense just say SOMETHING.

"Please say something, I am sorry. I didn't mean to upset you. Forget I even asked, okay", he said his voice cracking.

I finally looked up at him seeing a tear leaving his cheek.

Fuck! Why is this happening? I am such a fucking wuss.

I grabbed his hand, while the other one was holding his chin up so he could face me. I wiped his tears and held him close, pulling him into a warm hug.

"Don't say that, Deku. I am s-s-s-", I couldn't manage to say the thing I wanted to say most.

"Don't worry about it, okay. Take whatever time you need, to come out", he said reassuringly rubbing my back as I hold him.

I couldn't help but feel guilty. He is lying to his friends, hiding and what do I do in return? He deserves better, like Todoroki. I shouldn't even be wasting his time.

"But you shouldn't feel that way, Deku. I shouldn't be the reason you lie or hide things from your friends. I am tired of being protected from you. Maybe- Maybe", I said stuttering.

"Maybe, what", he asks looking deep in my eyes.

"Maybe we should take a break- nothing permanent I mean just for the time being", I said.

"Oh", he said disappointingly as he pulled away from my hug.
