Undeniable

  With a clear path ahead and the stars and the mood that shines brightly makes Katsuki’s search for a certain red head more easily. He put on his traditional hearing aids, put the volume near the max; he can’t let his guard down since four of them are gone. It made him tense, not only because a villain has kidnapped his friends, but also that his best friend is still outside, somewhere around here.

  So when the champagne coloured haired boy saw a familiar spiky red from afar, his frown softened.

  “Oi, shitty hair! Let’s get back to the dorm! Sensei’s order!”, he shouted not too far from him.

  But Eijirou didn’t respond, making worry tugs on his heart again. The aggressive boy called his best friend again and again as he moved closer. As their distance grew smaller and smaller, his ember orbs can see the boy even clearer; he’s trembling, and that made him give more pressure with his frown. When the red head is in his radius, he ponders a bit about should he touch him or not; but then he assured himself that it’ll be alright.

  “Ei?”, Katsuki voice is so soft, almost like a whisper.

  But it sends a jolt for the shark teethed boy; both because of the touch and the sound.

  “O-Oh B-Bakubro! What are you doing here...”

  The fiery red eyes searched for the other’s, but they’re quivering, frantic, and lost. Eijirou isn’t being himself, he’s scared.

  “Eiji calm down, what the fuck is wrong with you?”, the sun-kissed male gripped his shoulder.

  What’s wrong with Eijirou? What’s wrong with him? Why can’t he.. Calm down? The questions crossed the red head’s mind, buzzing like bees. What did he frantically seek in Katsuki’s fiery ember? Aren’t they always the same, showing trust and how strong their bond are? It’s a beautiful thing isn’t it? Then why did he feel bad? Why did tears threatened to crush his mask? Why did fear consumed his heart? Eijirou doesn’t know, Eijirou doesn’t want to know. He wants to run away, but the grip on his shoulder felt heavy, the deep frown in Katsuki’s features trapped his eyes; he was stuck, glued to the ground, because he felt he can tell his deepest secrets.

  But not this one, please not this one, he silently pray in his heart. He wished to carry it to his own grave, but if he stays like this then his cracked heart won’t be able to hold the pressure; the contains is already brimmed and spilling.

  “B-Bakubro.. I..”

  His mouth stayed agape before he clenched his jaw. He knows it’s not right. Not only Katsuki who deserve to know, but everyone.

  The red head gives his best friend a trembling smile, trying his best to assure the boy in front of him that’s everything is alright. “Nothing to worry about, Katsu. We should get back to the dorm.”

~****~

  The sound of the door banged to the wall startled everyone who’s waiting patiently in the main room. When she saw him, Jirou immediately leap to the blonde boy’s arms. The others also greet him with a relieved smile; at least one of the suspected hostage came back without any injuries.

  “I-I’m sorry..”, Denki began.

  “What are you a-apologising for?”, the rock lover girl asked, still sniffling in his embrace.

  “I... I didn’t make it.”, he said with his normal volume so everyone in the room can hear. “I was too late to save them. I’m sorry.”

  His girlfriend hugged him tighter, both of them are trembling cause of fear. It may be not much but at least they have each other to comfort.

  The room’s mood turns darker. They wanted to check it themselves but it’s too risky since they didn’t know what kind of villain they’re going to deal.

  “Where have you been, Kaminari-kun?”, Iida asked.

  “I was in the forest.. I decided to practice with Kirishima before after Jirou called me, and when I was on my way there, I heard a sound so I hide. T-There’s a noumu that carried Saki, Uraraka, and Todoroki. I’m sorry I can’t do much..”

  “Don’t worry, Kaminari-kun. You’ve done the right thing. But..”, Izuku’s emerald orbs grew dark. “I hope Kirishima-kun and Kacchan is alright.”

  Not long after that, Eijirou and Katsuki arrived; and the room got more relieved.

  Denki rose from his seat. “Kirishima, are you okay? Did you see any noumu when you’re training?”

  “Noumu? What the fuck are you talking about, pikachu?”, Katsuki interrupt.

  So Denki already started his lie with including him in his story, the red head thought. He bit his bottom lip, making it bled because of the sharp edges of his teeth. He needs to finish this now, he won’t be dragging himself to hell, but also his partner in crime.

  “You’re lying, Kaminari. There’s no noumu around here, you worked with the culprit to kidnap them.”

  “Wha? Dude, what are you talking about?”

  “Oh we both know damn well what I’m talking about, because we’re partners in crime, aren’t we? I won’t back down about this, I had enough.”

  Eijirou’s braveness may be not strong enough for this half-baked plan, but he’ll go for it until the end.

~****~

  Minoru never contribute much in class. He usually chose to stay quiet, whether because he felt like his opinion isn’t needed or he doesn’t know his own choice. So he’ll choose those who have the majority.

  The short male stayed quiet in the room full of opinions. The class is getting divided into two groups; those who think Denki’s story is more relevant, and those who believed in Eijirou. The red head male just said something that sends a betrayal feelings to each heart in the room; even though he already kneeled to ask for forgiveness, it still lingers with other negative feelings. While the blonde male stays with his declaration, and said that he has nothing to do with the USJ incident. Of course sane people will chose Denki more than Eijirou; who would immediately believe a traitor? Only Izuku and Katsuki who’s crazy enough to believe the red head male.

  Minoru stayed quiet during the little quarrel, even after the trio decided to go to the forest, he still stayed near the glass door. But then a glimpse of silver light break him from his trance. In front of him was the girl he knew and friended for the last two days. He stayed agape while staring at the unwavering dark blood orbs from the glass. The moonlight made her looked heavenly, made him lost his words.

  “Saki-chan..?”

  That’s the only word he can say while he’s still trapped in her unworldly beauty.
