Secret obsession • Bakudeku story

A break?

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.

Deku's Pov

"If you really want to take a break. I respect your decision", I said looking down at the floor.

I don't want to take a break. But it really isn't up to me. If he wants to take a break- we should. Right?

"Are you sure", he asked.

"Mmhm", I said discouraging.

"I just realized, you know it's kinda late, and I was hoping to go to sleep. So do you mind leaving- I just am really tired", I said stretching my arms and fake yawning in-between.

"Uh- yeah I don't mind", Bakugo said getting up from his seat.

"Goodnight, Deku", he said with a smile.

"See you at school tomorrow", I said fake smiling back as I closed the door.

I ran upstairs into my room.

I closed the door, and jumped on my bed to cry in the covers. Shortly after bawling my eyes out, I fell fast asleep.
