Blurred Lines | A Bakudeku/Dekubaku Story

Chapter 10

~Midoriya POV~

Damn, he is hot... I think to myself as I see Katsuki's car race off. I had never encountered anyone in my life that made me feel this way. Every time I saw the blond, my heart flutters and my face grows warm. This was all so new to me, as my contact with the outside world up until recently was quite limited. 

However, this was also a dangerous situation I have found myself in. Not only do I react physically to Katsuki's presence, but also mentally. He makes me stutter, second-guess my statements and want to impress him as much as possible. Not to mention, that he's my current target. How can I shoot someone that made it so I can't even hold my gun straight?

The earlier events of the day replay in my head, and I feel my face heat up. How easily Katsuki had seduced me, quickly getting the upper hand and turning me into a moaning mess...

It felt thrilling. I continue to day dream, neglecting to hear the glass double doors swing open behind me. A cool hand rests on my left shoulder, jarring me from my thoughts. I flinch, looking up at the distraction.

Todoroki stares into my eyes, its blankness complimented by the mask that covers the bottom of his face. I start to feel a little unsettled, unknowing of what's going through the heterochromatic's mind. The piercing blue of his left eye juxtaposes with the black it sits on, emphasising the intensity of the stare.

"Why didn't you kill Dynamight?" He simply asks, removing his hand from my shoulder.

A question that I couldn't find the answer to myself. Why didn't I kill Katsuki? My mind blanks, the same question repeating over and over again. Todoroki remains silent, looking at me patiently.

Was the situation not right? No, we were alone and far from others. Was I afraid of him? Not that either. Was I feeling ill? That's the most far-fetched reason by far. In fact, I was feeling the best I had in my entire life...

Then the realisation hit me. 

Am I falling for Katsuki Bakugou?

The air suddenly feels hot, and my heartbeat quickens its pace. No, no, this can't happen! He's my target for crying out loud! All for One will kill me and Bakugou himself if he finds out...

"-doriya? Midoriya!" 

I jump, refocusing my gaze on Todoroki's eyes. His eye brows are knitted slightly, head tilted to the left.

"Dynamight? Why didn't you kill him?" He repeats, a little more firmly.

I gulp, trying to subtly wipe the sweat off my forehead. I need to make up a good excuse, no one can know my newfound crush on the number 1 hero...

"Th-the situation wasn't right!" I blurt, and Todoroki scowls.

"We both know you're more than capable of murdering a lone target," he bluntly puts, narrowing his eyes. 

"Yeah, well, you weren't there. You would've had to have been in my place the understand how dangerous Dynamight is and how careful you have to be," I justify, folding my arms in defiance. 

Todoroki sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. 

"I'm not going to question your judgement, Midoriya, but you know what happens the longer a target walks free," he begins to explain.

"You heard what All for One said. He doesn't want to see me until Dynamight is dead. In other words, I'm off his radar," I explain hopefully.

"For now. Who knows how long All for One will wait for you to kill Dynamight." Todoroki finishes my statement, slowly shaking his head.
