Scars That Mend - Kiribaku Emergency Services AU

No expectations, no strings attached.

My mouth fell slightly open as I stared at the intense blonde, barely inches away from me in the dark alley.

"Kiss me and find out."

His words repeated in my ears over and over, until they no longer made sense at all. Was this guy being serious? Someone as hot as this guy was into me? I knew I was considered attractive - my friends told me that fact enough - but I'd never really believed it. Yet, somehow, this guy wanted to kiss me.

No, I corrected myself. He didn't want to kiss me. 

"I can help."

He was just being nice - he wanted to help me with my stupid gay crisis. I couldn't accept. There was absolutely no way I could kiss this guy. He looked like a fucking Demi-God...and acted like it too. Shit, what was I supposed to do?

The most confusing part was...I wanted to kiss him.

"You gonna just stand there catching flies?" The blonde scoffed, scrunching up his nose as he looked down at me. 

"I- uh-" I struggled to form words as my mind reeled.

Katsuki smirked, shaking his head gently so his blonde bangs danced on his forehead. "Idiot." He breathed. "I'm not asking you to screw me - or marry me. I honestly don't care about that serious shit. I'm just offering to help you sort your feelings out."

He blinked once, a hint of sadness in his eyes. "No expectations, no strings attached."

I felt - to my surprise - that I was ready to leap at the chance to kiss the blonde. Whether it was the two drinks already in my system, my sudden interest in men, or just the morbid curiosity of what the hell it would feel like to kiss Katsuki...

Something must have changed in my facial expression, as Katsuki's eyes softened. 

"You can say no." He mumbled, leaning closer and sweeping my loose hair away from my cheek. I felt his breath dance across my skin as he positioned his mouth barely an inch from my ear. "I don't think you're going to, though."

Fuck.

I felt a shiver run down my spine as his hot breath reached my ear - I was strangely sensitive there, as with my neck, which I'd never realised before that moment. Perhaps it was just my anxiety flaring up, but the sensation was like nothing I'd ever felt before. 

I bit down hard against my lip. Something about the blonde's confidence that I wouldn't say no was both infuriating and attractive. He lingered there for just a moment too long, the sensation of his breath on my skin driving me absolutely wild, before he straightened back up slowly - too slowly - and we met eyes again.

I stared into those fiery crimson jewels and knew, as much as I wanted to bury my head in the sand, there was no denying it. I was undeniably attracted to this bad-tempered, insanely attractive, Demi-God of a human.

Fuck it.

Surprising both the blonde and myself, I quickly reached up to his neck with one hand, pulling down hard so our foreheads were pressed against each other. I saw his eyes flash with surprise, and his mouth fell open for a moment. 

It was my turn to smirk.

"You know," I began, not tearing my gaze from his. "You think pretty highly of yourself, Katsuki."

I felt the blonde's neck tense beneath my hand.

"What makes you so sure that I  want to kiss you?"

I could see the blonde grinding his teeth as he glared down at me, those few inches of extra height putting his eyeline just above mine. I almost thought I'd gotten the upper hand, when I felt Katsuki shift in front of me, his hands resting on my hip bones. I felt my heart start to race, but the blonde didn't give me a chance to process what was happening before he pressed his thumbs into the soft flesh of my abdomen.
