Chasing Tinkerbelle (BakuDeku)

27 - Being Scared And Scarred

"I-I'm not afraid of you," Izuku argued, stepping away from him.

Katsuki tilted his head to the side as he considered the boy.

"No, you're not," he murmured softly. "But you are afraid of what's going on between us."

Izuku snorted. "There's nothing going on between us."

"Really?" he asked, moving closer.

"Really," Izuku said firmly and he would have believed him, except he didn't want to.

Katsuki refused to believe this insane attraction that he was feeling was one sided.

"Then prove it," he said, moving closer until there were only a few inches separating them.

"I don't need to prove anything," Izuku said on a tired sigh as he pushed past him and went to the bed.

"Then why are you running away?" he asked, watching as Izuku picked up the large bowl of popcorn and set it on the nightstand.

"I'm not running away," the small man said, sighing heavily as he pulled back the covers and climbed in.

"Then what are you doing?"

"I'm going to bed," Izuku said, and with that, he turned over and curled up.

"You're afraid of men," he said, sitting on the bed by Izuku's side.

"No," Izuku said, shifting away from him, "I'm not."

"Uh huh," Katsuki said, not believing him as he reached over and gently swept Tinkerbelle's unruly hair, back.

"Yeah, that would explain why most of my friends are guys," Izuku drawled, reaching back to slap his hand away.

"I see," he said, because he did.

It all made sense now, the comments that Izuku had made while drugged out on Benadryl, his reaction to him and his choice in friends.

"You're afraid of sex," he blurted out before common sense could take over and help him keep his mouth shut.

"I'm not afraid of sex!" Izuku snapped, sitting up to glare at him.

"Look, I'm sor-"

"I'm just not into sex, okay? Are you happy now?" Izuku demanded angrily and it was at that point that Katsuki decided that he'd already fucked up, past the point of redemption...

So what was one more fuck up?

"You have absolutely no idea what you're into, because you were with a man who had absolutely no idea how to please someone in bed," he snapped right back.

Izuku's mouth moved, but no sound came out as he registered his words and Katsuki realized something rather important.

Izuku didn't remember what he'd said to him the other night.

Well, if the greenette wasn't pissed at him before, he definitely was now.

So, there really was no point in apologizing at this point, not when he'd ruined any chance he'd had with him.

Not that he'd ever really had a chance with Izuku, he realized.

"Look, men just aren't attracted to me. They go out on one date with me and by the time the appetizers arrive, they start looking at me like I'm the sweet little brother that they never had, but suddenly realize that they want. There's never going to be anything between us, because sooner or later, you're going to realize- just like every other guy before you- that I'm just not the kind of person that drives a man crazy."

Katsuki blinked down at Izuku... just blinked, because really, what was there to say?

Except maybe...

"You're an idiot."

*****

"What the hell?" Katsuki demanded just as Izuku nailed him in the face with the pillow.

"I'm an idiot?" Izuku demanded, pulling the pillow back and with another swing, nailed him in the face again before he managed to grab the pillow from him.

"I'm the idiot?" he asked, tossing the pillow aside.

"Yes!" Izuku hissed, grabbing another pillow and-

"Really?" Katsuki calmly asked as he picked Izuku up and placed him on his lap, adjusting him until he was sitting sideways with his legs hanging over the side of his.

He wrapped his arms loosely around the boy, but it was clear that he wasn't going to allow him to move.

"Really!" Izuku said, trying to shove Katsuki's arms away, but he simply ignored him and kept his arms where they were.

"You've been standing me up all this time, because you think that I'm not really attracted to you," he mused with a rueful shake of his head and a chuckle that Izuku really didn't appreciate.

"All this time... " Izuku repeated back slowly, shaking his head in disbelief. "You only started to bring up this asinine idea of going out a few days ago!"

"True," he murmured, leaning down so that he could brush his lips along Izuku's jaw, startling him.

"But, I most definitely don't see you as a little brother," he said with a chuckle as he tightened his arms around Tinkerbelle and pulled him closer so that Izuku could feel-

"Oh my gosh," Izuku whispered around a choked gasp as he felt Katsuki's boner- raging boner- he might add.

"Definitely. Not. A. Brother," he said, stressing each word as he turned his head and pressed a kiss against the boy's neck, robbing him of the ability to speak or think.

"So," Katsuki continued pressing kisses along Izuku's neck and jaw, "Why don't we finish our date and at the end of the night, you let me show you just how enjoyable a goodnight kiss can be."
