11: Trust Me

Katsuki rushed to his front door, his toothbrush being held between his teeth. Someone was ringing his doorbell like the building was on fire or something. He angrily cursed under his breath as he quickly rinsed his mouth in the kitchen sink and sat the toothbrush down. He finally opened the door and was surprised to see Izuku standing there.

Izuku looked him up and down with a brow raised, "Either I'm interrupting something or you're expecting someone else,"

Katsuki was confused for a moment before his ears turned red, "N-no I- I'm just waking up," he said quickly.

"Oh," Izuku looked past him and inside his apartment "Aren't you going to invite me inside?" Izuku looked back at him.

"O-oh right, come in," Katsuki moved and Izuku entered.

"Why thank you,"

Izuku looked around the nice highrise apartment, it was smaller than Izuku thought it'd be. He expected a CEO to have a penthouse or house or at least something much bigger than this.

"I'm gonna put on some clothes," Katsuki said heading back to his room.

Izuku just continued to look around the apartment and paused seeing a familiar framed picture. He picked it up to see a younger version of himself and Katsuki at the zoo with his mother.

Izuku ran a manicured finger along her face before setting it back where it was. He moved over to the lounge and took a seat on the couch. He checked his messages and soon Katsuki returned now wearing a t-shirt with some jeans.

"S-so how'd you find my place?" Katsuki asked.

"Do you know how easy it is to track a person down? You should really be more cautious Kacchan the worlds a scary place," Izuku said, his eyes still on his phone.

"O-oh, um did you want a drink or maybe some food?" Katsuki nervously asked.

Izuku placed down his phone, "Let's not beat around the bush, you know why I'm here Kacchan. You saw us last night, did you really think I'd just take your word for it,"

"I meant it, I-I'd never tell anyone,"

Izuku quietly eyed him before he stood up and walked over making Katsuki take a step back. Izuku grabbed his chin so that Katsuki was now looking him directly in the eye.

"Kacchan...are you scared of me?"

Katsuki's eyes widened a little, unlike last night Katsuki could see that Izuku looked genuinely hurt. Without thinking Katsuki quickly pulled Izuku into a tight hug and rubbed his back. Izuku gripped his shirt and sniffled a little as he hugged him back tightly.

"Shit don't cry, I could never be scared of you Deku I was just surprised that's all," Katsuki frowned.

"I'm not a bad person Kacchan, I'm just doing what I have to. M-mom died and there was just so much debt, I didn't know what else to do. I-I'm sorry I'm a sick person," Izuku cried.

"That's not true, it's alright I believe you ok? I don't think of you any differently I promise. I'm not going to tell anyone about you or Haruki, I'll do my best to protect you," Katsuki told him.

They pulled apart and Katsuki wiped Izuku's tears away as the male sniffed some more. His phone went off and he pulled it out glancing at it.

"It's Ru, I left him outside in the car, we're going to be late for our appointment I have to go," Izuku told him.

"Alright," Katsuki walked him to the door "Call me and let me know when you're free, I want to make it up to you,"

Izuku nodded and smiled, "I will, thank you for trusting me Kacchan,"
