XVIII: Unoticed Tension

XVIII: Unnoticed Tension

Third POV

The next morning had came along.

And yet, Katsuki found his arm draped around Izuku and his face pressed into the omega's back.

It'd only taken a few moments for Katsuki to register what he had done before subtly pulling away and turning over.

He gritted his teeth, looking to the clock that read five am.

"Way too early to be awake," Katsuki murmured in his head, suddenly watch his phone silently light up with a text notification from Yaoyorozu.

Reaching towards his nightstand, he was about to pick up his phone when he felt shifting beside him.

Holding still for whatever reason, he could feel a gentle hand get placed along his bicep.

"Mm..." A whimper fell from Izuku's lips, before he'd fallen silent once more.

Katsuki finally relaxed when he was sure no more movement would come from Izuku.

The message from Yaoyorozu had read:

'I'm not exactly sure why you would need this, but here's the link for the item. I believe you can preorder and then pick it up at the store.'

Now, in hindsight, Katsuki really shouldn't have been so eager to do this.

So what if Izuku's birthday was coming up tomorrow? What business did he have accepting a gift from someone that held him and his pup hostage, not to mention killed his husband?

Though Awase wasn't legally his husband, but the little details didn't really matter.

Perhaps it was guilt that was clouding his mind, but if things were to continue to go the way they were, then Izuku would possibly have a permanent placement.

Katsuki would just have to find the right job for him.

He placed down his phone, laying his head down attempting to try and get one more hour of asleep.

Just five minutes in, he felt slight movement of Izuku getting out of bed.

Probably to go tend to Akiko.

Hm...

"Boss..? Boss!" Kaminari's voice broke through Katsuki's thoughts, earning a slight glare from his boss, "You okay?"

"You've been spacing out a lot today."

Entering Katsuki's company office, Kirishima handed Kaminari and Katsuki both steaming hot cups of coffee, intrigued by the conversation.

"Didn't get enough sleep, huh?" Kirishima suggested, taking a seat on top of Katsuki's desk, his gaze peering over the two monitors to see regular work before looking down at the opened red leather folder.

There smack dab in the middle was a picture of Izuku and Awase.

"Ah. That's it." Kirishima snickered, as Katsuki turned and slammed the folder shut before Kirishima could pick up the picture.
