A Fantasy {KatsuDeku Au}

Hear Me Out

For a moment, I thought my eyes were being tricked into a false sense of reality. He was right there across from me. The only person I truly wanted to see. However, his body gave off some strange aura that threatened me to stay away, yet I was firmly planted.

My skin went cold as the moon made things clearer, not a cloud left to block it. It was a perfect starry night. On night such as these, my mother would always say that the stars were always watching over me.

It was silly to believe that these non-sentient things in the dark sky had eyes. But as a child, I fell in love with whatever fantasy my mother would feed to me. As years went on, many events had developed, and it kind of fell away into memory.

A place I don't like to look back on.

He groaned again, but he fell to his knees and I immediately felt alarmed. These little alarms in my head were yelling out one question. Was he hurt? I needed to know what was wrong in this situation. If I had some idea of what was happening, I could help as much as I could. With a deep breath, and a gulp of uncertainty, I dared myself to get closer.

The fear lurking on my back tried hard to claw its way inside of me with every step I took. It hurt and my heart was racing from the momentum of the moment. Feeling as if it might burst from my chest and take off.

I reached out my bare hand to him over the gap between us.

Only steps away from reaching him.

Yet, when his red, hatred-filled eyes looked at me, my heart stopped. The nightly breeze pulled at my hair as I stood amazed and slightly bewildered. One of my hands slowly reached to my face, wiping at my eye to make this illusion disappear.

However, when I halted, the image remained of his ruby-like glare. Red blotches decorated his face and his arms. Something, barely visible in the blotches of reddened skin, reflected the moonlight.

From my distance, I was unsure of what I was seeing before me. I knew that it was Bakugou, but different somehow. Being concerned for him, I moved closer, but that only made him growl at me. I flinched, instinctively stepping back, expecting for him to lash out like I've seen him do.

"Y-your not okay," I trembled. My voice sounded shaky and almost afraid, but what was there to be so nervous about? He was someone I could trust as friend and as someone I would be willing to risk my life for.

He only clicked his tongue impatiently, "I'm just dandy!" I bit my bottom lip, not believing him. "Don't you think you should wander back to your friends? There's nothing for you here," he spat.

Nothing?

Was there nothing here? My heart wrenched at the idea of the word. Calm down and think clearly, Midoriya. Look at what's in front of you. He obviously needs your help, so do something now. If you don't, regret might find you later.

"Let me help you," I insisted. This is where my body acted for me and moved closer. I didn't know what to expect next. The vibes growing off of him were deadly ones. Almost like he wanted to kill me where I was standing.

"Turn around and walk away, shitty nerd." His scowl grew more fearsome as he told me to leave. The blotches on his face never seemed to recede, almost as if they were stained permanently. He furiously rubbed at the spots as if he was angry with them.
