Chasing you.

40

Katsuki tried to keep his distance.

But Izuku followed him everywhere.

He was committed to this.

—

he sat with him during their lunch time.

"How was your classes?" He asked "the basics." Katsuki replied "..what about your combat and hero training ones?" Katsuki shrugged "most of us are still recovering..so it'll talk awhile until everyone is back in their feet."

Izuku hummed "..I feel old, I'm turning eighteen soon" he mentioned "yup..which means we can't hang out since I'm a minor" izuku frowned "we're basically only a year apart!"

"Still."

"No"

"Yes-"

"No!"

Izuku huffed crossing his arms. Katsuki chuckled "you're so dumb sometimes." He mentioned. Izuku smiled , his fingers running along the scars on his arm.

"You don't think about..when you were kidnapped?" He asked him "sometimes" izuku responded. "They told me some stuff that happened while I was in the hospital" izuku grinned "bad huh?"

"Yea, it was." Izuku shrugged "but I couldn't do anything" Katsuki sighed "what did they want from you?"

"To spoil the plans of what we were going to do for war."  Katsuki felt horrible, he wondered what else was done to him. "I was surprised when I was told they found me in a dumpster" he said with a sly smile "..that's not funny idiot"

"The villains assumed I was dead so they threw me out." Katsuki took a sip of his water "..you're not traumatized by the situation?" Izuku didn't respond to this and his fingers continued moving against the blonds skin.

Katsuki just watched, his rough large hands touching him.

Soon the sensation was gone, Izuku looked at the time "we should start heading to class" he said pointing at the clock. "Don't want to"

"Why not?"

"What you tryna get away from me?"

Izuku shook his head "you know that's a lie, class is important, especially if you want to be a hero" Katsuki groaned "I guess you're right."

They both stood up from the table.

"Can I give you a kiss..?" Izuku questioned "I know if it's a no, we're pretty much in front of a lot of people" Katsuki sighed "catch me after school." Izuku smiled "alright then."

—

Izuku in fact did catch Katsuki after school.

"Katsuki!" He waved getting his attention, the male hadn't expected it, but it's Izuku. "You're weird" Katsuki tugged on his backpack walking closer to him. "You told me too"

"I didn't think you would."

Izuku grinned "so smiley for what?" Katsuki questioned him and Izuku nervously chuckled, he scratched the back of his head "I may or may not asked your dad if I can start taking you to your therapist appointments."

Katsuki let out a small gasp "what?? You did what?!" Izuku took a step back "sorry- is there a problem? I mean since we're hanging out more and..I thought it would be easier for your dad, we leave and come back from the same place?" Katsuki clenched his hands.

'She's going to be so upset.'

"I..I also want to meet her- I just thought it'll be okay if you know I got to know her and, since we'll be- together soon? I want to know how you're doing" katsuki sighed, blushing quite a bit.

"You idiot. You can't just decide to that on your own?!"

"I'm sorry- Kacchan I just really wanted to meet her."

Katsuki huffed "biggest mistake you'll ever do."

—

Izuku happily took Katsuki to his appointment.
They arrived and there was Akiyama waiting for the blond at the waiting room.

"Ah who may we have here?" She asked placing her hand out "Izuku Midoriya ma'am, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Izuku shook the woman's hand, feeling the sudden strength squeeze his hand.

"What brings you here?" She questioned "just here to take Katsuki, his dad couldn't do it today." Katsuki rolled his eyes "fucking liar."

He whispered "well you can wait here, please enjoy any water and snacks that are at the corner..me and bakugo will head to the back." Izuku hummed and sat down on a seat as Katsuki and Akiyama left.

Once she shut the door she glanced at him "so..may I ask on why..he's here?" She said "..so I kinda didn't listen last week, we had this heart to heart moment.." he began explaining.

"And he said he'll try to love...me." Akiyama sighed taking a seat. "You do this to yourself Katsuki." She said heavily "he's a genuinely nice guy- just..he's confused."

Akiyama probably thought of something in that moment.

"You leave, tell him to come here." Katsuki cocked his head "what- why?!" He asked "this will be his appointment for today..we can have one tomorrow" Katsuki frowned "don't scare him."

"No promises." She said with a smile as he got up to leave, she waited patiently until Izuku walked in "shut the door" she demanded. Izuku shaky hand did so.

"..uh is there something you need from me?" He asked, confused. "There is, sit down." Izuku followed instructions and sat where Katsuki previously was at.

"How do you feel about Bakugo?" She started off "uh- he's nice to be around..I like him." He answered. "Romantically?"

"..I'm sorry?"

"Romantically, do you have interest in him romantically?"

Izuku shrugged "no? I don't think." Akiyama sipped her tea "answer me this, truthfully. Once you were to leave here and have him alone with you, what would you do? To him or with him." Izuku tensed up a bit.

His cheeks turning red "uh..sorry but these questions are too straightforward."

"It's for Bakugos metal health."

Izuku nodded, Akiyama grinned.

That worked.

"Well I like to do things with him, nothing too.. inappropriate. We kiss- make out. Maybe sometimes I touch him but don't go too far. He doesn't like it" Akiyama nodded. "Alright, you do that..so what is it that doesn't catch your attention for him in a romantic way?"

"Everything we practically do is in, I guess a couple way? I love him and he loves me! But he loves me differently..and I want to love him like that too."

Izuku felt his chest tighten a bit "if Bakugo had a relationship with someone and did those things with them how wou-"

"He's with someone?"

Izuku interrupted, before Akiyama spoke again.

"Is this what this is about? Is he having you tell me for himself that we can't do what we usually do because he found someone else- that's not fair! I told him I didn't want him doing what we do with another!"

Akiyama signaled him to sit back down "No! I told him I was going try- I thought he was in love with me!?" Akiyama sighed before taking another sip of her tea.

"Are you sure you aren't in love with Bakugo."

"..."

It was silence before Izuku sat down, bowing his head.

"..I don't know."
