Unexpected

Ch 10: Why?

"What are you doing here with Deku?" Kacchan asked.
"I was confessing to him. What do you want?" Toriyama-san replied.
"Confessing? Hah!" Kacchan scoffed. "You're so funny."
"What? Are you jealous or just plain dumb?" He asked.
"You have the nerve to tell me that?" He responded. "What if I told you he's mine and always been mine?"
Toriyama-san looked a bit taken back.
"W-what?" He looked at me in horror. "Have I taken another man's love?" He looked disgusted with himself.
I felt so horrible. I wasn't Kacchan's even though I wanted to be. I love him. But I had to face the facts. Kacchan doesn't love me.
"Toriyama-san, we are not together. But you are an amazing person." I said softly.
Kacchan looked angry.
Even if I went along with his charade, it was going to be the same routine as always. Nothing's ever going to change.
"So... You're... Not taken." He said.
"No." I smiled. "I never was."
"Deku... You--" Kacchan said.
"I can't answer you now. I don't think I ever will. But give me time so I can speak with courage and actually tell you how I feel... About all of this." I asked Toriyama-kun.
"Okay." He replied. "I've told you all that I've had to say. Anything else would just be rambling on. I'd understand if you don't feel the same, as I've said before. It will hurt so much or I could be the happiest guy in the world. But I will not force you to stay. I can guarantee you that. Please be happy, Midoriya... Izuku-san." He turned away and left without another word.
Kacchan turned away and quickly ran to the room.
A few days had passed by and and it was nearing the end of our time spent at Coleman Alternative.
I didn't want to leave but I couldn't stay.
I ran into the room and began packing my things.
"Hey, Deku..."
Kacchan was sitting in his bed watching me from afar.
"Deku..."
I stuffed my things in and zipped them all up. I threw it on the floor and checked for anything I might've left.
"HEY, DEKU." He yelled.
I stopped what I was doing and stood still.
"Nani..." I answered.
"Don't give me that attitude. You always sound sad. What's with you, you dumbfuck?"
"What do you want Kacchan?" I asked, my voice quivering.
"Why are you mad, huh? Is it 'cause lover boy wants you and you don't want him?"
"Leave me alone." I told him.
"Hey, idiot. I already know." He replied.
"What?" I asked him.
He got up from his bed and walked towards me. He extended his left arm revealing a journal in his hand.
My journal! My diary!
I screamed internally.
"Next time you should think about where you place things and lose it." He said.
I looked down too scared to look at him.
So he knew I liked him?
All the time?
So what?
What do I have with him now?
He beats me.
He verbally abuses me.
He's violent.
And most of all... He's dangerous.
Why did I ever fall for someone like that?
"I don't know what you're thinking Deku. But I know that you like that little shit out there. Even if you say no, it's written all over your face. Don't lie." He said.
"Hah? Me? Like Toriyama-san? Haha! You're insaaane, Kacchan!" I said nervously.
He cornered me into a wall and hit it with his fist.
His left side was blocking me from my belongings.
"LISTEN, DEKU. I'm claiming my territory here and now. YOU'RE GOING TO BE MINE. I won't let anyone have you."
He leaned in closer and stared me down.
I could feel his breath tickle my nose.
"D-Don't Kacchan..." I begged.
"You're still going to defy me?" He asked in a rough husky voice.
