My Fantasy (Katsuki Bakugou x OC)

Confess

Ainu's POV
~In U.A.~

"What do you need, young Arai?"

I keep my eyes to the floor and tightly grab my clothes to stop myself from trembling.

"I...need to talk to you about something. It also involves Deku. S-Since he's under house arrest, could you come by the dorm later this evening..?" I keep my head low to hide as much of my face as possible. 

I don't want him to see how afraid I am...

"Uh yeah. Sure thing. Are you alright?" Concern laced his words.

I bow. "I'll talk about it then. Thank you." I quickly turn and leave.

I head back to the dorm as the guilt builds itself as a tower of multiple boulders ready to crush me with the slightest push. As I enter the dorm, I see Deku carrying trash bags. He's walking towards the exit. I glance around to see if anyone is around. There are people at the lounge area.

I'll keep my voice low then.

As I approach him, I call out softly. "Um.. Deku?"

He stops walking and looks at me. I avert my eyes away from him. "Yeah? What's up?"

My hands start fidgeting. "I.. don't know if Bakugou told you.."

"Tell me what?"

"There's something I want to speak to you guys about.." I lower my voice more. "Um.. since you and Bakugou are under house arrest, I thought it would be best to talk later tonight here.."

"Okay.. Is everything okay?"

Another boulder. "I.. I'll tell you about it then, okay?"

"Okay."

"Okay.. I'll.. let you get back to work." I head towards my room. And I wait. I wait until I think it's around that time Bakugou and Deku would be done with their cleaning and that everyone else would not be in the common area. I head down and I see all three of them there. My flight instincts kick in, but I fight against them. I keep my eyes averted from them as I walk up to them.

"Follow me." I barely manage to say as I pass by them. I lead all of us into the laundry room. It's a tight fit. All Might, Bakugou, and Deku are silent. I keep my back to them.

I want to treat this with the seriousness it holds. The secrecy it deserves..

I clutch my fists. I try to build up the courage to speak.

"Ainu, what's this about? Why is All Might here?" Deku asks hesitantly.

I take a deep breath. It's now.. It has to be now.

"I..."

Fear tries to stop me. I force myself to speak. "A couple nights ago, you and Bakugou fought on Ground Beta. Causing the two of you to be on house arrest." I start. "I..."

"Out with it."

"Bakugou.."

"I know everything.."

The silence was deafening.

"I.. I spied on the two of you those couple of nights ago. But that wasn't the first time. Back when 1-A did that heroes versus villains exercise. I saw Bakugou leaving school and I got curious. I heard everything then too." I begin trembling. "I-I felt like I couldn't leave.. I felt so scared.. That's why-" I turn around and get down on my knees and bow. "I'm so sorry. I'm so so so so sorry." My voice breaks as tears exit my eyes. "I never meant to intrude on something so sacred between the three of you. Like Bakugou, I didn't understand what Deku meant when he first spoke about it on the day of the exercise. But then the kidnapping happened and then All Might retired! I was able to piece it together, but I didn't understand the significance of it! Not until I watched almost the entire fight Deku and Bakugou had." I start to sob. "Not only have I done such a villainous act, but I failed to comprehend just how much effect it has!"
