Regretful Past [Bakudeku Fanfic] [COMPLETED]

Regret Thirteen

Something inside of me wanted to share my feelings after Deku had kissed me, but I figured I'd only be pushing things onto him that way. I'll wait for my chance later down the road.

The rest of the night at the Halloween party was quiet and calm for the both of us, since we stayed in the room the rest of our time there before crashing at my place. Though I couldn't shake off the feeling I felt after I saw Todoroki with the nerd, especially after seeing something like that. That bastard, I'll make him pay, but I still need to talk with him. Even though he did that to Deku, I still need to ask him my questions I have.

I was in the kitchen making breakfast for us when Deku walked in, still half asleep at that, to see what I was doing.

" Good morning, Kacchan. What are you making?" I heard him yawn as I was cutting up some ham for us to eat this morning.

" Morning. Breakfast, obviously." I answered sarcastically.

It took him a few minutes to process my answer before he understood my joke. We both laughed from it before the topic got changed.

" Kacchan, about last night."

" You don't need to force yourself to tell me about it."

" I'm not though. I was still shocked from the fear that overran me from it last night, so I couldn't tell you properly. Todoroki... he... he said that he had feelings for me. At the time, I didn't understand what he meant, but when he pressed me against the fence I was struck with fear."

" What were you afraid of?"

" I guess I was scared of what you might've thought, scared that you'd go back to being your mean self because of it..."

It was at this point that I had turned the burners off and stopped where I was in cooking.

He was afraid, of how I'd feel about it? What a stupid thing to think after the few weeks I've been able to see him again. Doesn't he know that I'm trying to fix things between us? Does he still not trust me? Was there something about me that was making him feel afraid of me? All these questions popped up and I had no answers for any of them. Instead of thinking of myself, I need to think about Deku and how he's been holding up.

" Before my sudden change in behavior, was Icy-Hot like that around you more often?"

" ! I guess he was, but it was more subtle than what he did last night. He'd always ask if I had plans after school, what I liked to do... Then he'd start to ask more personal questions... I thought about telling a teacher but I was so out of things that I just gave in at that point, so I guess that might've made him think that I was okay with him like that, when in truth I just wanted him to be his normal self again..."

" That bastard has some nerve! I'll make him apologize, just you wait!"

" Oh, no, it's fine. Really."

" Like Hell it's fine! That bastard has been harassing you before I got here, so now that I am here, I'm going to make him wish he never messed with you in the first place!"

" ... Seems your stubbornness didn't change."

" What's that supposed to mean?"

" I was kinda hoping you would've lightened up a bit is all, but then you wouldn't be the same Kacchan that I-"

" Hm? That you what?"

" Oh, it's nothing."

Deku shook his hands and head in denial from my question, so I decided to wait for him to tell me later on. We decided to change the topic again, so I went back to cooking our breakfast.

We were in the living room chilling out, we already ate lunch, and the day was coming to an end faster than I'd like it to. I wanted to try and take Deku out somewhere today to help forget about the events from last night's party, but it's already late so out the window for that idea. Though we had tomorrow off from school so maybe we could go then, but would he even want to go with me? Well, it's worth a shot in asking.

" Hey, Deku, would you like to go somewhere with me tomorrow? I have a few ideas on what we could do in town, or we can go to the main city and see what's there too. It's up to you though."

" Hmmm.... I have something going on in the morning tomorrow but aside from that I'm free for the day. Alright, that sounds like fun! Maybe we can learn a little more about each other that way too!"

" Fine by me, I'm just happy that you accepted, and relieved."

" Why's that?"

" I don't know why but, I guess with this second chance I feel a bit intimidated by you... But only a little bit! You got that?!"

" Alright, alright." He chuckled.

We both looked at each other, smiling, before our smiles started to diminish as the nerd leaned down to me. Our eyes started to close as he got closer, and right before anything happened, my phone went off. Deku's eyes shot open, wide, and he quickly busied himself with his magazine to try and hide his face.

I looked at my phone to see who could be calling me on a weekend, but when I saw the caller ID, I glared at my phone. It was Icy-Hot himself.

" What does he want now?!" I picked up and listened carefully, " What do you want?!"

" Is that any way to talk to someone with the Todoroki name? I would've thought that you of all people would know better, Bakugou."

" Quit playing around and answer me! What do you want?!"

" It's quite simple really. What I want, is Izuku Midoriya. That's all."

" No way in Hell are you having him! Not after that little stunt you pulled last night!"

" Would you like to know how I felt when I heard him beg me to stop in that quiet voice of his?"

" ... You'd better keep your distance, you damn bastard!"

I hung up and tried to calm myself down, but nothing was working. Without any warning, Deku wrapped his arms around me and held me close for a while. With that, I was able to calm down from what I had just heard from the bastard on my phone.

" Thank you, Deku, I needed that."

" Try not to let him get to you, it's what he wants at this point. Don't let him provoke you."

" ... You of all people should know how that's going to be difficult for me but, I'll do my best, for you."

" 'Kay."

AN: Here's chapter thirteen. I'm finding this a lot easier to get these updates up. Writing them in advance is a smart move on my part, I think. I apologize these can't be as long of chapters as they are in Incurable or No Name, but sometimes I lose my train of thought along the way or my brain gets too fried to finish them with anything good. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter and I'll see you in the next one!!!
