Chapter 17.

Time skip (again)/ Izuku pov

I turned the sign back to 'closed' as I rubbed my eye. I'm so tired.. I think I could sleep for two days straight.

I walked behind the counter and started packing the supplies back in the cabinets. After nothing was left on the counter, I wiped it off with a rug.

"you could've left the cleaning for me." Makoto said as he literally appeared out of nowhere, now standing beside me. I'm so tired I probably didn't notice him walking here.

"it's fine, no big deal." I said, forcing back a yawn. He looked straight into my eyes, not moving a single muscle. "u-um is there something wrong..?" I asked backing up a little. He's scary..

"you're beautiful." he said walking a bit closer. Please please Makoto stay back you're scaring me! I don't wanna say that straight into his face..

"t-thanks.." I stuttered out, backing up more. He suddenly grabbed my wrist, forcefully pulled me closer to him ss he pressed his lips against mine. Nonono this isn't happening!!

I pushed him away from me as I backed up even more. "w-what do you think you're doing?!" I asked, trying not to yell. "kissing you. That's exactly what I'm doing dear." he said as he started getting closer again. Crsp crap what do I do?! He's scary I can't even move a muscle!

"I-I don't want you to kiss me! Leave me alone!" I said pushing him once again. "now now you shouldn't do this.." he said as he grabbed my wrist again, this time more hard.

He kissed me again, I couldn't stop the tears that were running down on my cheeks. He's strong.. Izuku do something for God's sake! I can't be this weak.. I collected all my power and pushed him away as I ran out of the bar as fast as I could, not looking back.

I arrived to our apartment in just 3 minutes, I quickly unlocked the door and closed it behind me, locking it with the spare key. Why- why did I do this? I just cheated on Rody..? But I love him! I'd never do that.. I kissed another man.. But I didn't want to!

I felt my breathing getting heavier, mostly because of running and the panic getting over me..

I walked to the bedroom, wiping my tears as I laid down on the bed, pulling the covers over my head. He will hate me so much.. What will I do if I'll see Makoto next time!? What if he's pissed because I ran off..?

I couldn't hold my tears back. I cried for a good hour until I could finally calm down a bit. I felt my eyelids getting heavier as I slowly felt myself falling into a deep sleep.

Rody pov

Holy fuck I'm finally done! I successfully stole the files, gave it to the boss and I only got a small scar on my face!

It's 11am already, I wonder if Izu is sleeping or not.

I was about to open the door when I noticed that it's locked. Why would he lock it? Or is he even at home? I thought as I unlocked the door and silent walked in.

Ah, his shoes are here so he's at home.

I walked to the bedroom. At first I didn't see him hut soon I noticed a bump under the blanket.

I smiled as I walked up to him and gently pulled the blanket off of his head. Wait why is the bed cover soaking wet under his head? And red marks are around his eyes.. Did he cry? It's better if I don't wake him up now.

I lied down beside Izu under the blanket. I gently pulled him closer hugging him close to me. I felt myself get sleepier as I slowly got taken by the world of dreams.

As I woke up I felt something..warm.. I looked up to see Rody cuddling me.

Why is he- oh right.. He doesn't know about it. I felt the tears come up again as I got out of bed and walked to the living room. I have to tell him..but he's going to be so mad! I never ever want to cheat on him.. I didn't mean to..

I wiped a tear away as I sat down on the couch. I looked at Pino who was sleeping on the table, a small smile slipped on my face.

It didn't last long tho, my mind wandered back to what happened earlier and I felt a warm tear rolling down on my cheek. Come on don't be such a crybaby! I should just accep my fate..I guess. But I don't want to lose Rody.. I don't want to meet Makoto ever again.

I pulled my knees up to my chest as more tears escaped my eyes. "Izu..?" I heard a familiar voice. Looking up I saw Rody standing beside the couch with a worried look on his face.

"I-I'm so sorry I didn't mean to but I couldn't do anything-" "hey, stop right there." he said cutting me off as he sat down beside me and held my hand. "calm down first.. I don't know what happened but I won't be mad or anything, I promise." he said with a soft smile on his face.

Rody pov

I kissed his forehead as I kept holding his hand, trying to calm him down. Now I really want to know what happened..

I few minutes later he took a breath in and started talking." I-I was about to leave the bar when Makoto appeared and h-he held me and kissed me and I couldn't do anything about it.. He was so scary and when he kissed me again I managed to escape his grip and run away but I didn't mean to cheat on you and I never wanted to..!" he said in one breath. He. Did. What? I will kill that motherfucker. He will regret this so much..

"hey, look at me.." I said, cupping his face as he wiped his tears. "what happened was not your fault. That doesn't consider as cheating and you don't have to apologize for that.. But I will never leave you alone with him again I can promise that." I said pressing a quick kiss on his lips then pulled him into a tight hug.

"we don't have work for three days now, well figure something out okay?" I asked not letting him go. He nodded his head, cuddling closer to me. I knew it was a bad idea to leave him alone with Makoto. I mean I know him since years but I didn't expect him to do such a thing. I promise Izu.. I promise I'll protect you.
