Where there's love, there's pain

Chapter 5

Kastuki has very few regrets in his life. Many of them were made in middle school and high school. 

His most recent regret: telling Dunce and Shitty Hair about his interest in Deku.

He sighs and closes his eyes until I hear two very loud morons whispering behind him.

"Dude, look at him, he's being mentally tormented by that omega" Kaminari loudly whispers.

"Who knew that there was an Omega that would steal his heart," Kirishma answers. 

"Who knew that Bakuhoe even had a heart!"

"I was starting to think he didn't have one since he's never dated anyone seriously..."

"I wonder if he even remembers him?"

Bakugou growls at the last comment. Both idiots sit up straight as their eyes meet crimson eyes.

"Ohh hey Bakugou, we thought you were sleeping haha..." Kirishima said quietly. They both exchanged nervous glances and looked back at the blonde.

"How can I sleep when I have two gossipy little shits talking so fucking loud!"

"Sorry," they muttered lowly. They were both quiet for a couple of moments. They knew this was uncharted territory for Bakugou, so they slowly asked him a couple of questions.

"Hay we don't mean to be nosy Bakugou, but did you ever try to reach out or try to find him?" Shitty Hair said in a soft tone.

Bakugou was quiet for several moments. He sighed, "No, because who would want their tormentor to contact them after so many years? He's better off without my pathetic apology, plus he wouldn't forgive me. But...if he's still the soft-hearted boy from middle school, he just might forgive me. Maybe not completely, but that's okay. He doesn't owe me anything."

His friends slowly nodded their heads.

"Sooooo. are you planning to ask for forgiveness then court him? You seemed pretty adamant about rekindling that friendship, then taking that relationship even further."

Bakugo, "Now that our paths are crossing, I'm going to impress him and show him I'm not the self-centered, violent, asshole from middle school. I've never wished for anything because I've worked my ass off for everything that I have. But, this is different, I can't force him to forgive me. But, I can show him how much I've changed. I can only hope and wish he would accept my apology."

Although Bakugou was still aggressive, he wasn't as crass as he was in middle school or high school. It took years of therapy to cope with his emotions and have full control of his pheromones.

Kiri broke him out of his thoughts, "Hay the report doesn't say anything about his relationship status, what happens if he's mated?"

Bakugou immediately released threatening pheromones. Who the fuck was worthy of Deku? Only the best Alpha out there. He considered himself the ideal Alpha, he was one of the top heroes and he was filthy rich, with a great body, and enticing pheromones. He heard a couple of omegas whimper, he snapped out of the trance. He realized soothing pheromones for the omegas and muttered an apology.

Shit, he really was egoistic. Of course, there are better Alphas out there for Deku. On the outside he was perfect but no one would be crazy enough to date their ex-bully. He huffed. He's probably mated to some extra who showers him with affection.

As I try to rest my eyes, I can't help but think of possible scenarios. Will Deku run away from him if their paths cross? Or maybe he'll completely ignore him for being an asshat? Or maybe throw a drink at his face? These types of scenarios kept running through his mind. Crap, he groaned.

Kirishima and Kaminari were exchanging looks as if communicating their worries. Kirishima finally broke the silence, "Bakugou, do you want us to dig up some information about his relationship status? Or we can tail him for a couple of days, then report on what we see? "

Bakgou scowled, he was about to shout to stay away from his Deku, when he stopped himself. This might not be a bad idea. Maybe, he can have the idiots gather some information so he's not in the complete dark when I approach him. On the other hand, what if the idiots mess it up and are caught spying. He stayed quiet for a couple of minutes.

"Okay, I'll let you two tail him BUT you can't get caught. The last time you both went on an undercover mission, Dunce gave away his position because he farted and caused an electrical outage of all the electronics nearby. "

"Dude! I apologize a million times for that! You know I have a sensitive stomach!" Dunce exclaimed. Kirishima was howling with laughter. Bakugou couldn't help but crack a very small smile.

"Okay so this is the plan..."

"Mi amor, I'm hungry and it's humid as hell, " Toya complained.

"We're done for the day so relax. Also, don't call me that I have a reputation to uphold. This town is small and news spreads quickly," Izuku explained

Izuku only had three patients that morning, but a couple of new patients had popped up to ask for a check-up. It was finally 2:20 pm and they were officially done.

As he packed his bag, he changed into a pair of khaki shorts, sandals, and a light blue button-up shirt. Toya was wearing a tan long sleeve and black shorts. He was currently applying sunscreen.

"For someone with a fire quirk, you sure do complain a lot about the heat, " Izuku teased.

"It's not my fault this place is more humid than a witches' coochie on a summer day! There's a difference between heat and humidity! " Toya fired back.

Izuku giggled as Toya rubbed sunscreen on his legs. Although it was humid, the beach was always close by. He loved swimming in the clear, warm water. Sometimes he paddled boarded for hours, hoping to see turtles or even dolphins.

"Come on," as he pulled Toya's arm towards a food shack. "Let's eat aguachiles, then we can take a swim ."

"Finally! I would never say no to food and a beautiful omega asking to get wet with him" he gave Izuku a flirtatious smile.

Izuku turned bright as a tomato. Toya always knew how to fluster him. So he decided to give him a taste of his own medicine. Izuku gently caressed the side of Toya's arm and leaned in while lowering his lashes. In a low sexy voice, he whispered, "I don't know if you could handle my wetness, mi amor" He let go of Toya's arm and walked away with an extra sway of his hips, causing his backside to jiggle a little extra.

Toya was left wide-eyed on the sidewalk. His mind had short-circuited for a couple of seconds. Izuku was one feisty omega you should never mess with. Whoever becomes his mate better know how to handle themselves when Izuku is being seductive as hell. Once he recovered from the shock, he jogged slightly to catch up to Izuku. 

The rest of the afternoon, they spent at the beach paddle boarding and cave exploring. Izuku enjoyed Toya's company, he always felt lonely at home so the beach was his safe haven. He spent so much time at the beach that all the townspeople knew where to find him if he wasn't at the clinic or his house. 

The sun was finally setting. Toya was going to stay a couple of nights to keep an eye out for the LOV. He was originally going to stay longer but after hearing about a red-feathered pro hero, he shortened his stay. 

Toya was avoiding his true feelings which only caused him and Keigo more pain. Izuku only wanted to see his friend happy with his loved one. He only hoped that Toya would be honest with himself. He was also hoping Keigo would knock some sense into him when their paths crossed again..maybe sooner than Toya imagined. 

Toya threw Izuku's medical bag over his shoulder, "Hay thanks for distracting me today. There's been a lot on my mind recently. "

Izuku couldn't help but grin. "Although I don't have a lover or mate, I know from experience what it feels to be lost in your emotions. Don't let your insecurities eat you up. You deserve a shot at happiness too. " He grabbed Toya's free hand and gave it a small squeeze. 

"Thanks Izu, I knew you would understand."

They made their way back to Izuku's house, as heroes were trickling into the city.
