Chapter 47

        "We need to talk." The way Katsuki stated his declaration sounded demanding and intimidating, with that ever-present mean look on his expression-- it was probably not the best approach for this situation. The uneasy look on your face only seemed to prove that further; that, and you were doing those obvious mannerisms that you do when you're nervous, such as avoiding eye contact.

"I... I know what you want to talk about, but please... " You paused, before looking down. "Now is not the time." You sighed, not wanting to re-open fresh wounds. However, the ash blonde was as persistent as ever, when he strode over the clinic bed adjacent to yours, and continued the unwanted conversation.

"You didn't tell me you had a second quirk." He started, not really looking directly at you, but you know he has this disappointed look plastered on his face.

"... I didn't know I had it either." You were quick to dismiss the subject, apprehensive of having to land on the topic you were most sensitive about. Despite how quick you were to shoot down the matter, the ash blonde could easily tell that you were honest.

"Look." Bakugou heaved out a silent sigh, a distant look present on his crimson eyes. "I want to tell you something important; something that I should've said a long time ago," He confessed, as you hummed, acknowledging him. "I know who your old man is." Your eyes widened slightly, as your mouth parted to retort a statement that would no doubt break into an argument, but then... after remembering what happened between you and Izuku, you just released your pent-up anger through a deep breath and an exhale.

"At this point, I'm not surprised anymore. I don't really care," Now it was the ash blonde's turn to be surprised.

"What the fuck? Weren't you wondering all this damn time on where he's been?! It's fucking All Might!"

"I know." This made the ash blonde silent for a while, taking in the news that shocked him instead of you. This information was supposed to bring closure-- an unpredicted reaction from you, but a closure nonetheless. And Bakugou has never felt so distant with your response. It's as if you're now both hiding something from each other. No... You are both hiding something from each other, and the ash blonde has already revealed his secret... but you haven't done the same with yours. And it feels like your relationship has gone cold.

"... Since when?" He asked rather quietly, feeling the weighted atmosphere with you.

"Earlier this morning,"

That explains your change of mood when you were off to fight that gray-eyed blonde fuck. He could only imagine how you felt, but...

Ha, isn't it ironic? Todoroki asked if you were All Might's secret love child, back when Bakugou was eavesdropping on the both of you, and you laughed it off like it was some joke. And yet, here you are. What was once seemed to be a punchline was now a dreaded situation that needs immediate resolve from both sides.

And Bakugou was disappointed in himself that he couldn't give you any resolve. He can't help because he doesn't know much, unless you're willing to share what was bothering you, which you wouldn't.

The worst feeling Katsuki could ever feel is when someone who used to be so dependent on him no longer confides in him. Especially when that someone was you. He will never admit it to you, but he has already confirmed it to himself that you were important to him, and seeing you push him away was... offending? He should be angry. But why isn't he? He just felt...

Empty.

"I should've told you everything I knew from the start," Bakugou really did regret keeping that one particular secret from you. You had the right to know from the start, because it was eating you up as you grew up. The fact he chose his idol that he doesn't know much of, over you-- after all he has done, was unbelievable. And maybe unforgivable too.
