Katsuki



"Shouldn't you be heading back home"? He asked as we laid curled up in bed together. "Do you want me to"? I asked with my eyes closed. "No". "Then I'm staying". "Katsuki". "He won't find out. I promise. Please just let me stay here".

"Ok, but I just don't understand why you don't break up with him already. You're constantly comparing me to him and saying how unhappy you are". "Trust me if I could I would". "This has to do with your parents doesn't it"?

"Mainly our mothers". I held onto him tighter. "Please. Please just tell me something that will distract me from this for a little while". I begged as tears pricked the corners of my eyes. "Do you remember how this started"? "Mhm".




Flashback to three years ago


It was just the two of us at home. Izuku was in our room while I sat in the living room working. Three months ago our parents came to us and told us that we were both going to be in an arranged marriage with each other.

Right away I didn't like the idea. I didn't want my life partner to be decided for me. Yes, Izuku and I grew up with each other but that doesn't mean I want to be in a relationship with him.

I thought he would feel the same but he was happy about it. His emerald green eyes shined so brightly at the idea of us marrying that it was hard to say no. We were still friends and if it meant he would be happy then id go along with it for now. A part of me knew he needed this, especially after what happened.

"Hey Katsuki"! He called from upstairs. I stopped what I was doing and made my way over to him to see what he needed. Once I arrived at our bedroom I saw that he was laying in bed watching tv. His entire demeanor looked sad. It's as if he was thinking about something painful.

"Hey I know your busy but can you go pick us up something to eat. I don't think I'll be able to cook us anything tonight". "What do you want"? "Anythings fine". "I'll be back soon then". I left and headed to the nearest restaurant I could find.




















The restaurant I chose was a new Italian restaurant that opened up a week ago. I ordered us both pasta dishes with added breadsticks and waited for the chefs to make them. If it was up to me I would've just ordered it on the app but I knew he would want me to go in person. For what reason I don't know. 

While waiting I went ahead and checked the notes I was writing beforehand on my phone. My laptop and phone were connected to each other so it was easy to continue my work when I wasn't home or at the office.

It wasn't until I was in the middle of writing down the notes for the second part of the software that I was currently working on that I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and saw it was none other than Shoto Todoroki himself.

The last time we saw each other was during our college graduation. We were the top two students of our graduating class and both were able to get our business degrees. He went to work for his father while I went to work for my mother.

During college and high school, I had developed a serious crush on him but never had the courage to tell him how I felt.

"Didn't expect to see you here icy hot. Long time no see". "Indeed". He said eyeing me up and down. It took everything I had to not let a blush appear on my face. "You look good Katsuki. The past few years have been kind to you". "Thanks, I can say the same about you".

I said looking to the side. His abs were very visible underneath the shirt he was wearing. "Are you waiting on someone"? "No, just picking up dinner for me and my fiance". "Your engaged". "Yeah, it's an arranged marriage. Our parents thought it would be good for us both".

"I see. How long"? "Three months so far. We're childhood friends so it's not that bad". "But you're not in love with him". "No, I'm not. He's a good guy but I can't force myself to love him". "Have you told him this"?

"He was so happy about it when we found out. I didn't want to break his heart". "But who's going to worry about your heartbreaking"? His arm was around my back as he used a finger to gently tilt my head up. "S Shoto, we c can't. We're in public". My heart was racing in my chest as I stared into his mismatched eyes.

"I own this place. They won't say a word". "I Izuku"? "You don't love him remember". He asked with a playful smirk on his face. "I I". "Have been in love with me for a long time". I looked at him shocked. "Isn't that what you were going to say"?

"How did you-"? "I've always known, you weren't that good at hiding it. The only reason I didn't say anything is because you didn't say anything. I didn't think you were ready for a relationship so I left you alone and stayed your friend".

"Do you"? "Feel the same way? I do my little firecracker". "Shoto". "Get your food then drop it off and come meet me at my house". He slid a piece of paper into my pocket while continuing to hold my gaze. "I'll be waiting for you". He kissed my cheek before slowly pulling away and leaving out the door.



















I headed straight home as soon as the food was ready. I made my way upstairs and gave Deku his before getting ready to leave again. When he asked me where I was going I simply told him I would be taking my food to the office with me and finishing up my work there.

Luckily for me, he went along with what I said and gave me a kiss on the cheek before I left. I took my food with me, got back into my car, and headed straight for Shoto's house by following the GPS directions on my phone.

Once there I parked behind a black Challenger that was parked in front of a large two-story brick house. I got out of my car and locked it as I made my way over to the front door. My heart was pounding with each step I took.

I didn't normally let my emotions show but when it came to Shoto I just couldn't help it. My hands were always clammy and mouth dry when he was around. I could never think straight and was always extremely nervous.

I took a deep breath in before breathing out slowly. I did this a few times before I felt I was calm enough to head inside and knocked on the door. He opened it three seconds later but this time he looked way different than he did half an hour ago.

Water was on his shoulders and bare chest from having just gotten out the shower, the only clothing he wore was a pair of sweatpants.

"H hey Shoto". "Hey yourself". He moved aside allowing me to come in. I stepped inside and took a look around as I heard the door close behind me. His house was decorated with nothing but the latest appliances for each part of the house but was also decorated in a modern style that didn't make it look like he was overdoing it.

The next thing I knew he was taking me by the hand and leading me upstairs. I didn't protest I knew exactly why he called me over and was ok with it. Once inside his bedroom, he laid me down on his bed immediately as he hovered over me.

The walls were a nice beige color with black hardwood floors. The bed was a king-size with black covers and matching pillows. A plasma screen was mounted on the walls as a bookshelf stood in the corner with speakers and a Ben bag chair next to it.

"Shoto". His gray and blue eyes shined down at me as he held me captive with his arms on either side of me. "Yes, Katsuki? What is it, my love"? My breath hitched as his hand moved to my crotch lightly rubbing it. "Is this your first time"?

I let out a shaky breath. "Were you saving yourself for me"? "I don't wanna hurt him". I whispered. "You don't love him. Your parents forced you into this situation without considering your feelings and you being the kind person that you are only agreed to go along with it because he wants it.

The way I see it all three of us can get what we want. Izuku can keep you as his soon-to-be husband who will take care of him while in secret the two of us will be together as well and I'll take care of you in return".

"Why"? "Because you deserve to be able to love someone and have them love you in return. Let me be that for you Katsuki. Let me be your secret boyfriend". "Shoto".

End of flashback



"I haven't been treating him right Sho". I said with tears in my eyes. "I haven't been taking care of him". I buried my head into his chest and cried silently while he held me tight
