Our Little Secret (Deku X Kaachan)

Chapter 3: Deku

My alarm went off, pounding like a basketball against the gym floor. Today was the third day that I planned on staying home from school. My mom thinks there's something seriously wrong with me and All Might is growing impatient. I sigh and sit up, turning off my alarm. I sat there for a few minutes before someone came and knocked on my door. I assumed it was my mom.
"Come in." I say.
My mom enters the room, a warm smile on her face.
"Izuku, a friend said he's here to raise your spirits and bring you to school."
"I don't really-"
"Please, he's very eager to see you."
"Who is it?"
"He said his name was...Logan? Ion? I don't remember. Just get ready and come downstairs."
She then shuts my door leaving me alone in silence. Todoroki came yesterday during school to make sure I was okay. I trust him so I told him the truth. I wonder who decided to show up this time? My mom said he wanted to raise my spirits..only one person really comes to mind. I stand up and get dressed. When I got downstairs and was met with the eyes of my visitor, I knew I was correct.
"Morning Iida." I say.
"Good morning Midoriya!" He grins.
"Why are you here? Todoroki didn't blab did he?!"
"No, he kept your secret. Though I am curious I won't force you to tell me. I'm just here to brighten your spirits and bring you back. We desperately need you."
"Need me? Why?"
"A, an exam is coming up and B, a certain someone in our classroom has been angrier than normal.."
"Kaachan? Because I'm not there?"
"Yes. Precisely."
"Fine. I'll come. But only for today. Depending on how things go depends on wether or not I keep going."
"Completely understandable!"
We then converse a little more before telling my mom goodbye and heading out the door. I figured Kaachan would be happier with my disappearence, he is the one who told me he hated me. Unless it was a cover-up? No, when Kaachan says he hates someone...he means it. Iida and I walk to school, talking almost the whole way. When we reach the school and enter our classroom everything goes silent. I look around at my classmates.
"Deku!" Ochaco says with glee.
I see Kaachan's head turn to meet my eyes. For a split second there, I could've sworn I saw him smile.
"Did you just smile?" I ask, not realizing I said it aloud.
"Did who just smile?" Asked Iida.
"Huh? Oh..I..uh..um..nothing!"
"Go on Deku, who are you talking about?" Ochaco backs up.
"Well..I could've sworn I saw..Kaachan smile."
Kaachan stands up quickly, slamming his fist into his desk.
"You couldn't be more insulting.."
"Kaachan, I didn't-"
"If I ever smile...it'd be because you're dead. So get that through your thick skull Deku! I hate you.."
He sits back down, leaning back in his desk. His harsh eyes moved from me to the window. I look to the ground.
"I shouldn't have come back..."
"Don't say that." Iida says.
"Hey, Midoriya, a word please?" Someone asks.
I look up to be met with Todoroki. I nod lightly and we step out into the hall alone. He shuts the door and turns to me.
"Why did you come?" He asks.
"Iida said there was an exam..and Kaachan's anger has gotten worse since I've left."
"Why don't you want to stay?"
"He..he hates me. If I'm not here he'll be happy!"
"Everything okay?" Asks a girl.
I look around Todoroki and see Sue coming down the hall.
"Yeah As-Sue." I say nervously.
"Okay, nice to see you again Deku."
She heads inside the classroom, closing the door behind her. I look back at Todoroki. There's a look in his eyes. I couldn't tell if it was curiosity, lust, wonder, or confusion.
"Midoriya...I feel like he has feelings for someone. I had asked him the other day if loved anyone...he blushed before getting angry and storming out." He tells me.
"He...does?"
"Yes. Just, be careful poking the bear."
I nod. I understood kind of what he was saying, but now my curiosity was awoken. I wonder who he is in love with? Probably Ochaco or someone like that. Or, if he is gay it's probably Kirishima. I sigh and head back into the classroom with Todoroki. I take my seat behind Kaachan like normal. Izawa enters shortly after.
"Morning class, we're heading on a field trip for today's exam."
"It's today?!" I yell.
"Yes Midoriya. If you want to sit-"
"No, I'll be fine." I grin.
Izawa nods and then motions the class to leave. We all stand up and head outside to the bus. I sit with Todoroki as we ride down to a training facility. We all get off the bus to be met with several proheroes.
"For today's exam you will be put into pairs of two. Then, the pair will go up against one of us proheroes. We have paired you already and it's with people who you'll work well with, but for some of you not so much. You're never gonna know who you're stuck with and who's your opponent. So your goal is to either place these cuffs on one of us, or make it out the escape door. Now for the teams."
He starts listing of teams left and right and sweat starts to creep upon me. The list got lower and lower, and Kaachan nor I have yet been called. It soon comes down to four us with only two heroes left. It was me, Kaachan, Iida, Ojiro left with All Might and Power Loader.
"Next, up against Power Loader, Iida and Ojiro. Leaving Bakugo and Midoriya against All Might."
My heart drops. I'm put with the man who keeps telling me he hates me, and to make matters worse were going up against All Might! It just had to be All Might...granted I saw this coming. I have his quirk and I'm sure he requested me for that reason. I sigh and turn to Kaachan.
"So do you want to-"
"Don't talk to me." He says harshly.
"But Kaachan! We're gonna-"
"I'm gonna blow All Might off the map, you just sit back and watch!"
He goes to walk away. In that moment everything seemed to slow down. My heart pounded harder than it ever had before, and I had a sudden rush of courage. Within that moment I made a decision I would be glad I made later on down the road. I grab Kaachan's wrist, stopping him from walking away. He turns back to me.
"Let me go Deku." He says.
"N-No.." I murmur.
"What. Was. That?"
"I said...no."
"No? You're gonna tell ME NO?!"
"Just listen to me and I'll let you go!"
"One minute." He says harshly.
I nod and quickly gather my words.
"Listen, All Might isn't gonna be easy to take down. Know that I will be there if you need me...but..knock him out the park." I smile.
For another moment, another slowed moment I look directly into Kaachan's eyes and see them widen. They look, confused, angered, but yet they're smiling. The moment ended quicker than the last one and he jerked his arm from my grasp.
"Noted." He said before turning and leaving.
I stand there in shock. Kaachan actually listened..or did he only say that to make me feel better. But why would he do that? Am I gonna get the whiplash later? The wind blew gently and all I could think about was that quick moment between Kaachan and I.
