When Izuku finally pulled away from the kiss for air, he realized that there were many people whistling and yelling from above him. 

As he craned his neck up, Izuku saw Kaminari, Sero, Ashido, Kirishima and Jirou all crowded onto Kaminari's small balcony, leaning over the edge.

Ashido was waving her phone around taking pictures of Izuku's expression of horror and Katsuki's scowl. 

Since Izuku was seemingly frozen in place, Katsuki took it upon himself to grab Izuku's wrist gently and tug him back into the dorm room, slamming the balcony doors behind him.

Katsuki muttered, "Oh shit" as he remembered that Izuku's arm was exposed. 

Izuku seemed to notice too, because he quickly pulled him arm through the sleeve again and zipped up his jacket to hide the brace.

"Did you know that they would be there?" Izuku's tone was harsh and accusing. 

Katsuki felt a pang in his chest. "No Deku, I swear I had no fucking idea," Katsuki said defensively. 

"It that why you wanted me to show you my arm? So your friends could snap a picture and humiliate me more?" Izuku asked, voice shaking slightly. Tears were forming in his eyes but he refused to let Katsuki see him cry.

"You really think I would fucking do something as shitty as that to you? With all the dirt you have on me?" Katsuki recoiled. 

"Kacchan, all you have ever done to me is hit me, insult me, bully me, even tell me to kill myself! Why would you suddenly change? Start acting all sweet just because your mom made up a shitty lie to make you look better? And the only reason you wouldn't humiliate is because I could harm your reputation? Not because you care about me, not because I've been put through enough already," Izuku yelled, voice filled with venom.

Katsuki wanted to say something, but he was stuck. He could only stand there, mouth agape as Izuku slipped his feet into his red sneakers and took off running out of his dorm room. He heard people yelling at the freckled boy as he raced down the hall.

Katsuki realized the damage he had done to Izuku. He could have never imagined it could run so deep. Did he really deserve to be forgiven at all?

He ignored any interactions from his classmates as he walked back up to his room. Though it was only about 20:30, Katsuki locked his door and didn't leave until class the next morning.
