Back-Alley Love (Fem!Izuku x Kacchan)

Her

Katsuki Pov: 

I stood in the hall with Ponytail girl and this was honestly starting to bore me. I wanted to go and look for Izuku already. 

"I like you Bakugou-san! I really really do!" 

What?

My glare swerved to pierce Ponytail girl's squeezed shut eyelids. 

"The way you commanded us when we tried to rescue Midoriya-san, your incredible passion and will. Your strangely alluring brutality and precision. I couldn't help being drawn to it and found myself falling for you. And so...I would like to know if you could ever return this emotion I feel for you."

I flinched at each syllable. What an idiot. Personally I found the thought of loving anyone other than Izuku revolting. 

I opened my mouth to respond to Ponytail's little 'confession' when I heard the sound of footsteps running and I felt like someone had just punched me in the gut. 

"Izuku..." 

Without a second thought, I took after her. 

"Izuku!" I called after her. 

I knew she could hear me, so why wouldn't she turn around. 

'tch.' 

"IZUKU!" 

I saw her run into the trees outside and went after her, only to find her a few minutes later curled up under a tree.

"Izuku..." 

When she looked up at me, it was like someone had cut the string holding me up and I fell to my knees next to her, hitting the ground with a thud. 

I stared, enthralled by the face before me, the face of a goddess. Her green hair swaying in the breeze. Her gorgeous green doe eyes had tears in them, shining in the sunlight and sliding down her beautiful freckled face. 

Her breath hitched as I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her close, like she was the last person I would ever touch. I could feel the cloth of her new jacket rubbing against my forearms and feel her breath through the fabric of my own. She felt so warm and perfect in my arms, like she belonged there, like she was the final piece of a puzzle that was my heart. I could feel the beats from her chest getting faster and faster beside mine, but it was comforting somehow. It all felt so right. 

She began to squirm against me, and I felt her lips mumble and form the word 'Kacchan' against my jacket and just above my heart before allowing her to pull back. She looked so suprised and fragile, tears glistening on her eyelashes. 

"Izuku..." I said again, tucking a lock of her hair behind her ear. "Why would you ever run from me?" I mused gently, letting a note of pain sound in my voice. She flushed cutely and looked to the side, turning her head slightly. 

"Well...you have Yaoyorozu now...and what am I compared to her. She's so strong and smart and beautiful and I'm just...Deku...I'm not her and I know I could never...never be her." 

Guilt hit me like a hammer right in the ribs. I had done this to her. It was my fault. Yet, I found it funny that she even considered that Yaoyorozu or any other girl could ever be as strong, beautiful or smart as her. So funny that I felt laughter pass my lips despite the pain. 

She looked at me incredulously, her eyes like deep emerald caverns filled with precious treasures. Sparkling and tempting as I cracked up. She stared at me with those big beauteous orbs wide and lips parted in a perfect 'o' shape, until I finally forced my laughter down to a chuckle.
