Time Changes Us (DekuBaku)

20

A/N So I have too many chapters logged and it's making it difficult to get to where I left off last to keep working on the story. 😓 BUT hey! That's good news for all of you because that means extra updates! Please enjoy! 💃🏻

Deku’s POV
Kacchan and I were able to go surfing and scuba diving, taking pictures with our phones and posting them on our social media account. We didn’t bother making separate accounts, we just shared one and I love seeing our names together like that. Aizawa Sensei sounded like he was getting kind of mad whenever he sent our homework via email. Kacchan and I were careful and made sure to do our assignments before we ran out to the beach or festivals so usually by the end he seemed pretty resigned.

Our classmates were blowing up our phones once Kaminari found our accounts and Toshi was posting pictures of him with Mom and Aiko running around Russia. One was just a picture of him and Aiko who’s golden blond hair and blue eyes lit up in her excitement, playing in snow on a mountain. It wasn’t until Toshi posted a video with the caption; Green Demon, MockingJay and our little princess at the palace! That I commented.

Dynamight: I’ll remember that the next time Deku and I have her.

Dekiru: Kacchan…

Dynamight: I’m serious.

MockingJay: You’re just jealous.

Dynamight: You don’t say?

Green Demon: Boys…

Dynamight: Sorry Mom.
Dekiru: Sorry Mom.
MockingJay: Sorry Mom.

There wasn’t too much going on other than that and Kacchan and I were eating BBQ so Kacchan took a picture of us, me with sauce on my face, and a hula dancer person behind us. Which gained a lot of attention from our class, letting me know that Kaminari had shown everyone our accounts instead of just telling them about them.

The paperwork took a week to finish for Kacchan and I, America always takes forever, Toshi finished after just a couple days and Dad was back in Japan the next day, just not back at school until the day after that. Kacchan and I ended up having to buy a bag and a couple outfits to last us until we were allowed to go back so Kacchan was carrying our things when we got off the plane.

“The summer sports festival will be here soon, what do you think it will be like this year?” I asked, smiling at him. He has been holding my hand pretty much anytime we could since that day we ended up in Dad’s office and he has been shutting down a lot around our classmates again. It’s really not fair. He NEVER opened up to anyone outside of our family before and now he will barely look at Kiri at all and he blatantly ignores everyone else. Deja Vu. I swear sometimes it’s stronger than others but still.

“I think that I’m not going to go easy on you,” he smirked, leaning close before he kissed my cheek, making me pause everything. He hasn’t ever kissed me before. I mean we have kissed a few times now and everything but he has never done anything more than get so close that I couldn’t help myself. He usually snuggles and just holds me but even though this was just on the cheek, the smile on my face widened so much it kind of hurt.

“That’s the first time you’ve ever kissed me,” I instantly had my arms around his waist holding him close while I looked up in his eyes.

“What can I say, I couldn’t hold back anymore,” he chuckled but that just confused me more.

“Why were you holding back before?” I asked as we made our way through airport security and then outside.

“Sometimes it feels like I don’t deserve all of this happiness. Like I cheated so if I’m too greedy I’ll lose it all,” his eyes are that soft amber red like the glow from the embers in a fireplace. That sad look is back again. Why did it come? How can I make him feel better? Is there a way for me to prevent him from feeling so sad? He chuckled as if he could hear my thoughts and I snapped my mouth shut, was I mumbling again?

“I love you,” he whispered, his hand letting mine go, my eyes widened before he wrapped his arm around my lower back and his hand came to rest on the side of my hip. “Is this okay?” He asked quietly. I quickly returned the gesture so that we are now holding each other.

“Yes, I like it a lot and I love you too Kacchan,” I smiled at him again. This time I can’t help hearing the sound of my own heart pounding in my ears; Ba-thump, doki, glumb. I used my tiptoes and quickly pecked his lips with a small kiss. My face went red as I did.

“I like it when you don’t hold back at all,” I could feel the blush blooming on my face and Kacchan’s sweet chuckles in my ear.

“Sometimes you’re like a teddy bear, all soft and cuddly but dangerous while others you just look like a cute ripe strawberry, I’m afraid that I’ll eat you if I’m not careful,” he whispered in my ear and I wanted to scream. Has he been taking romance classes when I had my back turned? Just HOW?

We walked to the bus stop, Kacchan teasing me the whole time but I can’t even be upset because I love it. It feels like how life was supposed to be…

Wait… What?

This is how my life has always been so why would I feel like that? Recently I’ve been getting headaches and sometimes fuzzy images come to mind but they don’t really make sense, it’s just a really strong deja vu and I used to get them as a little kid too but then they pretty much stopped until we came back to Japan. They always start again when we come back to Japan.

I told Mom about it once and she really freaked out and took me to several doctors and it wasn’t until some kind of hydration test thing that I pretended that they went away. Mom was freaking out so bad and they were sure it wasn’t anything big like cancer or something. They just couldn’t find the cause and Mom was constantly crying. It wasn’t even a big headache either.

“It’s better to just not tell her,” I decided, smiling.

“Not tell who what?” Kacchan asked, snapping me out of my thoughts and back to reality.

“Oh, Uraraka said she wanted to try surfing sometime and when I told her how much it was to get started she panicked, so I was just thinking that I shouldn’t tell her about the scuba diving when we get back to class,” I smiled at him, lying through my teeth. My mom was nothing compared to Kacchan. If I get up at night he will wake up screaming, even now.

“Just tell her it’s expensive and leave it at that. Besides it’s not like she will be going to Hawaii anytime soon anyway,” he shrugged and I nodded agreeing.

I feel bad for lying but even Toshi agrees that since there isn’t anything wrong medically I shouldn’t tell them. Besides Aiko will be getting her quirk soon, they don’t need to be focusing so much on me right now.
