Homerun!! •Bakudeku•

Last Game

While on his morning run Deku stopped by Ms. Nishikawa house and was surprised to find her and Kota sitting out on the porch.

"Kota? What are you doing over here?" Deku approached the two and asked the little boy in his pjs. "Auntie had to work really late so grandma's watching me." Kota told the teen.

"Tch, I ain't no one's grandma!" The older woman exclaimed making Kota and Deku smile and laugh lightly. Kota's smile went away when he looked over at Deku and saw the teen's hand brace.

"Deku..." Kota began to say gaining the green haired boy's attention. "Can you really not play in the game today?" Kota sadly asked. Deku smiled sadly at the kid and shook his head no.

"...You're still gonna go and cheer all your friends on though, right?" Ms. Nishikawa questioned after blowing some cigarette smoke out of her mouth.

Deku's eyes narrowed in thought, not sure if he wanted to go and watch the game when he knows Bakugou will be there. "Of course he's gonna go! Deku would never abandon his friends!" Kota looked at the woman and confidently stated.

Ms. Nishikawa glanced back at Deku and saw the troubled look on the kids freckled face. "I'm sure his friends won't think that he abandoned them if he doesn't show up. They know that he's hurt and needs some time to recover." Ms. Nishikawa said.

"Hmph, I guess. But I want us to cheer together." Kota mumbled with a pout on his face. Deku smiled slightly and ruffled the little boy's hair. "I should get going now." Deku told the two after he removed his hand from Kota's head.

"Deku." Ms. Nishikawa said causing the teen to look over at her. "Some advice from this old lady." She started to say. "I thought we weren't supposed to call you old?" Kota looked up at the woman and questioned. Deku snorted softly when the woman gently slapped the back of Kota's head which made the child wince and hold his head.

"Like I was saying. Face your problems head on, don't let them be the reason why you can't enjoy doing the things you love, you understand?" Ms. Nishikawa said.

Deku simply smiled at the woman and nodded his head. "Thanks granny!" Deku said as he ran off. "I'm not your grandma!" Ms. Nishikawa angrily shouted. "Bye Deku!" Kota stood up on the porch and waved goodbye to the teen.

Dear Mom and Dad,

Mitsuki and Masaru sat silently across from each other at the dining room table as they worked on their individual projects. Kaoruko suddenly burst into the room with a sealed envelope in hand.

Mitsuki quirked an eyebrow up in curiosity as she watched Kaoruko approach the table. Kaoruko gently placed the envelope in front of Mitsuki and backed away slightly. Masaru stretched his neck out to read what was on the envelope. Kaoruko began fidgeting with her fingers as she watched the two, in nervous anticipation, look at the envelope.

Both adults' eyes widened when they saw the name written on the envelope. Masaru quickly got out of his chair and went over to stand next to Mitsuki while Mitsuki began to rip open the envelope. The woman then took out the letter that was left inside and silently began to read it to herself.

I think it's about time I tell you guys how I feel and come out to you both but without all the yelling and screaming that happened last time.

So, I'm gay.

Ever since middle school, I've been trying to understand my sexuality. I didn't look at girls the same way other guys did. I could recognize how attractive some girls were or acted compared to others but they just didn't interest me.

Back then I was really confused why I couldn't see what the other boys saw whenever they had a crush on a girl. But I didn't tell anyone how I felt because they would think I'm weird and I didn't want them to judge me. So whenever my friends started talking about girls I just played along.
