ShigaDeku Come Back To Me

He Dosen't Need You Anymore

Katsuki

I woke up and the first thing I did was check my phone to see if Izuku had called or texted. I know he told me he wanted time away from me right now but I couldn't help but worry about him. I know how his mom treats him and I also know the headspace he'll be in because of what I did.

When our engagement started it was just three months after him and Tenko broke up. He still hadn't fully grieved his last relationship so I knew he wouldn't be able to handle grieving two at the same time.

He wanted me to take the pain away. He wanted someone there to comfort him while Tenko was away and I couldn't do that for him. I know I don't deserve him as a friend. I just wish there was something I could do to help him. I miss him.

"Baby". Shoto called out softly. I felt his hand on my arm as he pressed his chest to my back. "I hate this"? I whispered. "Hate me Katsuki. Your only feeling this way right now because I was being selfish". I shook my head. "All you wanted to do was love me. There's nothing wrong with that. I was the one that was supposed to say no".

He rubbed my arm gently. "You couldn't. Your parents placed you in an impossible position. You wanted to do what was right for Izuku". "He had just broken up with his ex. If it wasn't for the fact he moved away three years ago this never would've happened. I was supposed to help take his pain away".

"Your intentions were pure my love but if what you say is true then I'm certain that his heart still belongs to his ex even though they were broken up". "Are you saying he was using me"? "No, I don't think that's what his intentions were. I think he just didn't want to feel alone".

"You might be right about that". "He'll call you". He kissed my shoulder. "Just give him time". "Ok".

I didn't want to get out of bed. If it were up to me I'd lay under the covers all day with my phone next to me waiting for either a call or a text. I didn't get that wish, Shoto convinced me to go into work to distract my mind from everything that was going on.

In return, he would work from home, clean the house, and have a home-cooked meal ready for me when I got off. I had offered to work from home as well but he insisted I go.

The main reason I didn't want to be here is because I knew my mother would be working as well. I didn't want to see her. I didn't want to hear what she would have to say about the engagement. I had successfully been able to avoid her for the past few days.

I made sure my hours didn't match up with hers and ignored all of the calls I received from her and dad. I just wanted this nightmare to end. For things to go back to the way they were. Was that even possible I didn't know, all I knew was that I had to hold onto some form of hope no matter how hard.

Emily would come into my office every now and then to check on me. She was one of the few people I allowed myself to feel comfortable around. When we were in college together she confessed she had feelings for me.

I didn't want to hurt her but I had to explain to her that as flattered as I was I was actually gay. She understood and in return, our friendship became even stronger because of it.

When I was getting ready to take a break is when my phone finally rang. I was hesitant to answer it thinking it was my mother calling me to come to her office but when I looked at the name on my screen I was relieved to see it was Izuku calling me.

Katsuki: Hey, Izuku

Best friend: Hey, Katsuki. Is now a good time to talk?

Katsuki: Yeah, of course, I was just about to go on break actually

Best friend: That's good. I um wanted to talk to you about a few things.

Katsuki: I'm all ears

Best friend: I thought a lot about everything that happened. It was wrong of me to agree to something like that without sitting down and talking to you about how you felt about it and for that I'm sorry

Katsuki: I'm sorry as well. I'm sorry for hurting you the way I did and not being able to take your pain away.

Best friend; I'm sorry if you felt as if I was using you to get over Tenko

Katsuki: You don't have to apologize for that. I know you were lonely. Tenko was everything to you

Best friend: Do you think we can still be friends even though our engagements over? I miss you

Katsuki: Of course we can. I've missed you as well

Best friend: Thank you Katsuki

Katsuki: no Izuku, thank you

I smiled.

"Katsuki". I looked up and saw it was my mother calling me.

Best friend: Was that your mom

Katsuki: Yeah, I'll talk to you later ok

I hung up and turned to her. "I hope that was Deku you were talking to". She said with her arms folded. "It was". "You said you missed him as well. I'm assuming that means the two of you made up"? "Technically that would be a yes".

"Technically "? She raised an eyebrow. "We agreed to stay friends". "That wasn't the arrangement. You were supposed to convince him to get back together with you". "That's not what either of us wants besides I'm already with someone new".

"That was fast. Do you honestly think they'll want your ass once they realize how pathetic you are? Do you think they'll want to have a crybaby as their lover? Well, do you Katsuki"? She asked while poking my forehead over and over.

"Actually I do". Shoto said as he made his way into the room. I looked at him shocked as he made his way over towards me. "Are you ok baby? I could hear her yelling at you from down the hall". He asked cupping my face with a worried look in his eyes.

"Why are you here"? I whispered to him. "You forgot your lunch, I was coming to bring it to you". "Sho". "Is it ok if I handle this for you? I can tell you're getting stressed". I nodded my head.

"Who the hell are you"? I watched as Shoto stood up fully and turn to face her. "I'm the person that actually loves him. For the past three years your son and I have been in a secret relationship with each other and it's been the best three years of my life".

"So your the person Inko and I have to blame for our son's engagement failing". "No the people responsible for that are you and Inko Midiorya. If it wasn't for the two of you trying to control your kids like you always do none of this wouldn't have happened.

As his mother did you even take the time to sit and talk with your son about what he wanted? I bet you didn't but that no longer matters, however. Katsuki and I are together and will live the rest of our lives happy. You and your husband will no longer have anything to do with him and as for your share of the company I already bought it out from underneath you and transferred it over to Katsuki.

As of right now, he's the sole owner of Bakugo software enterprises. You can leave now or I'll have security escort you out for trespassing". She glared at him. "He's your problem now. Good luck with that reject".

Shoto wrapped his arms around me the second she stormed out the room. I held onto him and cried. "Thank you".
