Chapter 16: Love..?

MATURE WARNING!! BE WARNED!! (Listen to song for best experience~)

Bakugo's POV:

I never knew a solid sense of love.

I knew what the damn feeling was, I'm not stupid. But, through my childhood and even growing up to be a successful adult, I never knew what the actual feeling was.

I believe the old hag loves me, and I do believe that my old man loves me. But I never did feel a sense of love, or not one that I could identify as the feeling.

Well, that was until Reno walked in the room.

We met when we were little brats, he would clean up my messes and do nice shit, and I never really understood why he would be so nice to me. We would play superheroes and run around in capes made out of the hag's towels, we would paint and draw our future. Hell, we even shared baths together at one point.

And in my middle school years, I finally identified the feeling I felt for Reno as...love. I loved Reno with all of my heart. He would occasionally get bullied and of course, I would beat the shit out of them.

I swore on my life that not a damn thing would happen to him, not while I was still alive.

He would just brush it off like I said nothing and continue to talk about how he really loved me, and I wouldn't say it back because I still never understood the meaning of the word love.

Now that I know it now, I wish I would've said it.

I should've said it.

"Bakugo, this isn't fair!!" Reno whined as he panted and leaned against a tree. They had just finished a race and naturally, Bakugo had won. Bakugo snickered and punched the others shoulder lightly.

"You just need to get faster dumbass!" "Maybe I do. One day, mark my word Katsuki Bakugo, I'm gonna beat you!" Reno declared, sitting up in triumph. Bakugo felt a blush on his cheeks and he looked away. "Yeah yeah, sure."

Reno spotted a small creek not too far away and he wandered off to go see it. His jet black hair fluttered in the wind and his curious hazel eyes scanned the creek, seeing a little frog.

"Kat! Look at this!" Reno had picked up the frog and walked to Katsuki, who had met the other halfway. Bakugo frowns slightly, picking up the frog. His eyes scanned it and he gave it back.

"It looks alright.." "Alright?? It's the coolest thing ever! Kat, you know what I'm gonna be when I grow up? I wanna take care of animals, like a animal doctor."

"Dumbass, that's called a vet."

Reno huffed and placed the frog back down in it's habitat, sitting back up. "Well that's what I wanna be. What about you? What are you gonna be?" Reno questioned the other, and Bakugo had not the slightest idea.

He remembered the magazines on the little gas station on the corner, the people on the covers would look so cool and awesome. "I'm gonna be on magazines!" "Boringgg!!" Reno made a fart sound with his mouth.

Bakugo tackled the other to the grassy floor and tickled him, and all that was around them was laughter and happiness.

I sigh as I recall the faint memory, well, one of us made it...

I look down to the sleeping boy in my lap, poor Izuku. He didn't deserve any of this. And it was bringing up a lot of shit from my own shitty teenage years.

A thought passed my mind as I watched the police move in and out of my own apartment, was I in love with Izuku?

No, I couldn't be. We just fucking met. He reminds you of Reno. 

A distant thought made it's way to the front of my mind, and I look back down at Izuku, wiping the corner of his tear stained eyes.

They do have the same beautiful eyes, but different colors. I sigh as a rub my forehead, taking out my phone and calling my manager.

"Hello?" "Pinky, can you get my penthouse ready for me, I'm gonna have to stay there for a couple of days, there has been a safety issue."

"Are you okay??" The voice on the other line said, very worried for her boss. "Yeah, 'm fine. I think it's another stalker. I'll tell you about it later, just ready it for me and stop asking questions."

"Alright.." The line hung up and I put my phone up, taking a glance at the sleeping beauty. I then pick him up bridal style and take him to my car.

I notice his eyes starting to twitch and then open as I put him in the passenger seat of my car.

"Where..-" "My penthouse, we'll be a lot safer there, just until they search the apartments and clear us, okay Deku?"

The greenette nods and I buckle him in, I get in the drivers seat and start the drive to my penthouse.

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A hooded figure looms in the bushes, they click a button on their ear and a voice is heard on the other line.

"They've just left. Do I send someone to follow them?" "Yes, and make sure not to lose them. Tell them to stake out the house for a few days, got that?"

"Okay, and Shigaraki?" "What is it?" 

"I have found out more information on Izuku, his past goes deeper than we could ever have known."

"Send it to me." "Yes sir."

The hooded figure presses the button once more and steps out of the bushes, going in the opposite direction.
