Our Little Secret (Deku X Kaachan)

Chapter 7: Deku

The wind blew against the trees as if gently kissing them. I can't get yesterday out of my head. Kaachan asked me to be his at lunch and of course I said yes. Today, however, he's acting like it didn't happen. As if we're a secret. I wonder why he wants to keep this a secret. Is he scared to be made fun of? I notice him and Todoroki pass around a few glances every now and then and it only makes me think that they're up to something. I'd confront them but both would ignore me and say it's nothing. I sigh lightly and by doing so Kaachan looked at me. I smile nervously and his gaze quickly moves back to the front of the room. Izawa was just going on about normal lessons, and how to be a hero. For the first time ever I couldn't focus at all. Kaachan had my brain blazing in thoughts. After lunch yesterday, and the glances with Todoroki today, I'm nervous something bad is going to happen. But maybe I should have more faith in them. Suddenly Kaachan slams his fists down on his desk. I quickly look at him.
"This is..!"
"Calm down Bakugo, getting angry won't solve anything." Says Izawa.
"I need some air..."
Kaachan gets up and leaves the classroom. It's dead silent for a minute before Izawa sighs.
"Kirishima, will you go-"
"I can go check on him." I said.
All eyes turned to me.
"You sure Deku? Doesn't he..hate you or something?" Asks Kirishima.
"It's fine really. Besides, keep your friends close and your enemies closer, right?" I say nervously.
"That's not always true. But..go. And hurry back." Izawa says.
I nod and rush out the classroom door. I turn and see Kaachan punching a wall. I approach him defenselessly. I tilt my head.
"Kaachan, what happened?"
"Weren't you paying attention?!"
"I..uh.. actually...no. My head has been buzzing, I can't focus on anything. So no, Kaachan, I wasn't."
He turns and looks at me, his eyes wide. He breathes heavily from punching the wall too many times.
"What's got you in a twist?"
"Well... yesterday actually. You said you wanted me...we're a thing now...but yet you keep it under wraps. I don't understand."
"Izawa said that heroes do better when going solo. That a significant other can slow you down. Yes there are duos out there that are great, but not all are a match...it pisses me off that he has the nerve to tells us that."
"Well what does it matter to you Kaachan? Cause...even though I said yes...am I really yours?"
"What...did you...just say?"
"I said, am I really yours."
"WHAT?!"
He grabs ahold of me, whiplashing me. I stare hard at him, my face staying straight. I'm not gonna give in this time. I need to know.
"DEKU! WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!"
"Am I yours! Tell me!"
"YOU!"
He throws me to the ground. I look up at him with confusion. My head has never hurt so bad. He slams his fist into the wall. I stand up, brushing off the dirt. I walk over to him and touch his shoulder gently.
"Kaachan?"
"What."
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why keep it a secret..I like you...you like me, what's to hide?"
"Deku...I hated you because you looked up to that prick instead of me. I don't like you thinking about anyone else. If I told someone, they'd laugh and tease you and then you wouldn't be thinking of me anymore.."
"Kaachan, that not-"
"Doesn't matter. I'm going home."
"No you're not!"
"I'm sorry?"
He turns and looks at me. I felt sweat start to race to the surface of my forehead. I swallow hard, my courage mostly going down and I grab his wrist. I pull him into me and lean forward. In one swift movement, I was kissing him. His soft warm lips, spreading a sensational feeling onto mine. We hold it for a good minute before I release. I stare into his eyes.
"Deku.."
"Doesn't matter. Just come back to class. Otherwise my mind might go other places..."
"Fine. But to keep things on the down low...we can't see each other at lunch today. Okay?"
I nod. We then head back to class, returning to our seats. Come lunch time Ochaco and Iida have decided that something is up. I tell them to quiet down before they make accusations of anything.
"We know you and Bakugo are thing. It's so obvious." Ochaco says.
"What?! No, we aren't! We.."
"Why deny it Deku? Aren't you happy?" Asks Iida.
"I am..but..he told me not to tell anybody." I finally say.
"It's okay Deku, maybe he's just nervous. I tell you what, I dare you to tell everyone." Ochaco dares.
"What? No! Kaachan will-"
"Come on. How's this, I ask out my crush in front of the class and you kiss Bakugo in front of everyone!"
"NO!" I turn bright red.
Ochaco mutters more about this crazy idea, and I glance at Kaachan. That's when I notice...every five minutes, he glances at me. Does he not trust me that much? I think Ochaco noticed I was no longer paying attention to her because she had stopped talking. Something seemed off about Kaachan. He clearly wanted something off his chest but I couldn't figure out what it was. I sigh and lay my head down.
"You okay?" Asks Iida.
"Fine..but I don't know what to do."
"Just tell him how you-"
"I can't Iida," I sit up, "he told me in the hallway he doesn't want anyone to know because he thinks people will tease me and I'll stop thinking about him." I groan.
"Ooo, the jealous type." Ochaco chimes.
"Ochaco this is serious." I tell her.
"Hey guys." Says a voice.
We turn our heads to the end of the table to be met with the body of Kirishima. He smiles nervously at us.
"Can I ask you guys something?"
"Sure Kirishima, but where's Kaachan?" I ask.
"Bathroom. Anyways, he's been acting kinda weird. I think he might have a girlfriend. I know he hates you guys but he sometimes let's things slip. Especially to you, Deku."
"Me? What? No. No way. And besides does he really seem like the straight type?" I say flustered.
Ochaco kicks me and I bounce slightly. I then smile nervously.
"I don't know...maybe your right. That'll explain it then. He probably has a boyfriend and is embarrassed to say anything. You know, I think I'm gonna figure it out!"
Kirishima then walks back to his table and I throw my head back down on the table.
"My life is over." I say.
"Don't be so dramatic. Come on, class will be starting soon." Iida says.
I groan and get up. I throw my trash away and head back to class. As we waited for Izawa and the rest of the class to file in, Iida, Ochaco, and I all stand in the back of the class and chat. Everybody was in their own groups talking. Yowyurozu was with Sue, and Kaminari, Kirishima, Mineta, and Kaachan we're all in a group. We were all going about our business when Mineta yelled out.
"YOU'RE SICK!"
"MINETA SHUT UP BEFORE I BLOW YOUR FACE OFF!" Bakugo yells.
"What's going on?" Iida asks.
Kirishima approaches us, giving us the stand down look.
"Mineta overheard me asking Bakugo if he was gay."
"Why would you..?" I ask.
"I'm curious. I am his best friend afterall. And he also said yes. Therefore, I was right. It's a boyfriend. Only question...who?"
I gulp, my face heating up.
"Mineta calm down." Todoroki says.
"Yeah, listen to the Halfa."
"I can't believe you Bakugo! Us men have to...wait a minute...show of hands! Who here likes girls!"
"Mineta! What kind of question is that!" Yells Ochaco.
"A solid one!"
Ochaco looks at me. Concern of her face. She then swallows hard, I knew this because I heard the gulp, and she gets up on a table.
"Listen Mineta, you shouldn't judge someone because of who they like. We can decide to date whoever we want. Not everybody has to be like you! Understand?"
"Preach Ochaco!" Says Sue.
I then notice for a split second, Ochaco blushed. It then clicked. I stand up on a desk next to her. Kaachan stares hard at me.
"I agree with her. We should all be true to ourselves, and not make fun of one another. So, why don't we just clear the air, huh?"
I look at Ochaco and she knew what I was doing. The plan she spoke of at lunch, just with a different approach.
"Right!" She says.
"First, does everyone here promise to not make fun of, but support one another?" I ask.
They all nod, including Mineta who had given in after the retaliation from Ochaco. I smile.
"Alright, raise your hand if you likes girls." I say.
Almost every boy raised their hands except for Todoroki, Kirishima, Me, and Kaachan. Out of the girls, however...only two raised their hands. Ochaco and Sue. Ochaco blushes slightly and so do I.
"No, those who like men?"
All the girls except Sue and Ochaco raise their hands. Out of the boys, only Me, Kaachan, and Kirishima raised our hands.
"There. It's been delt with."
I go to get down but Ochaco stops me.
"Wait. I don't want to be up here alone just yet. I..uh..I wanted to do something grand, something amazing that would make it hard to say no...I have a crush and want to ask them out!" She says aloud.
I look at her for a moment before smiling and remaining on the desk.
"I..uh..I was wondering if you'd like to be my girlfriend Sue!"
She looks to the ground as quick as possible. Sue walks up to the desk and sticks out her tongue, wrapping is around Ochaco. She brings her to her side and with a big smile, Sue simply responds with "yes". I smile, a happiness filling my heart. I glance over at Kaachan who's blushing slightly. I go to say something when Mineta interrupts.
"Wait a minute. Todoroki never raised his hand." He says.
"Because, I don't like anybody and this is pointless." Todoroki says.
"Fair enough."
"Well, now that, that's resolved.." Izawa starts, "let's all-"
"No, we aren't finished here." Kaachan says.
Everybody's attention is turned onto Kaachan who is standing on a desk. He sighs heavily.
"I have a confession."
He looks me in the eyes and my heart starts racing 100 miles per hour. If I'm not mistaken...I think he's about to come clean. I've never felt so hot in my life!
