Broken Promises (Bakudeku)

Chapter 21: It'll Be Okay

("first things first im the realest nerd." - Spider) (A/N: Tis been a while since an update, school and life have been stressful but I'm trying 😅)

Midoriya's P.O.V.

I couldn't stand to see Kacchan like this..."Do you need me to stay here with you for a while," I ask, his face still buried into me. He only nods and sniffles in response. "Ok...I promise I'll make things better" I start rubbing his back gently, "It's ok."

I try to keep myself from crying, I don't want him to worry about me. We just sit in silence, well almost silence if it weren't for Kacchan's occasional choked sob, for a while. "Hey..." I say, gently, and he finally looks up, his face is red and puffy, god it breaks my heart. This must be why he gets upset when I cry.

"Would it be ok if I get some stuff from my room, I'll be right back! Maybe we can relax and watch a movie, would that be ok? So you don't have to be alone." He nods in response, looking down at the floor. Either he was ashamed to be crying or he didn't want to look at me. "Ok I'll be right back, I promise!" I get up and dart out of the room.

Bakugo's P.O.V.

I watched him leave my room, for some reason I felt like he wouldn't come back. I sighed. Why would he, I'm a hot fucking mess... I slowly stand and wipe my face with the back of my hands, I was about to just fall into the bed when Deku comes back in, almost dropping a TV?

He adjusts his arms and walks into the room, closing the door gently behind him. "I noticed you didn't have your TV...or anything...so I brought over some of my stuff," he says smiling at me, not like I deserve it, "Don't offer to help either, I don't need it, just sit down and relax please," he says as he sets down the TV on the dresser with a huff. "I brought my TV and playstation so we can watch a movie," Deku says as he starts plugging things in, "We can watch whatever you want."

He turns it on and then turns around to me, "I brought you some ice cream from my minifridge too!" he takes his backpack off his back, which I only just noticed that he had, and pulls out a carton of ice cream and a spoon. He hands them to me, and then turns off the lights, he sits down on the bed, where I was sitting, and hands me the controller, "Now you can watch whatever you want"

"Deku...I don't" I start to say, but he instantly cuts me off, "Don't you dare say you don't deserve it Kacchan...I won't hear any more of that. You deserve everything." I sigh, there was no arguing with him now, and I didn't have the energy too. "Fine...you win" I open the ice cream carton. "Did I just hear Katsuki Bakugo admit that I won?" He says, even though he is sitting behind me I can hear the laughter in his voice.

"Shut up nerd," I say as I put the spoon in my mouth and start scrolling through some Netflix options. "Kacchan, I have some medicine that I think might help...your head" I grunt in response, I didn't need help. "Can I?" he asks, quietly. I knew he just wanted to help, but I didn't deserve that, but I knew I couldn't argue with him right now. "Ok...."

I pick out a movie to watch and press play. "Ooh what's this movie?" Deku asks, I can hear him unscrewing the cap of what I assume is the medicine. "You've never seen Kill Bill?" I ask, taking another scoopful of ice cream. "Nooo? Is it scary?" I laugh slightly, "No, just violent, I guess"

"Ok, I'm going to start now, ok? It's gonna be cold, do you trust me?" He says, scooting closer to me. I nod, entranced in the TV. I feel his hands gently massaging my scalp, I struggle with not wincing, it stings. "See, it's ok? It'll be ok..." he says softly, continuing the massage. It feels so soothing, "What kind of medicine is this anyway?" I ask, finishing the ice cream and tossing it into the trash bin that's by the door.

"It's uh, burn relief ointment," Deku says. "Why do you hav-" I just stop myself, I know the answer to that question, probably because of me...I just sigh, dammit I can't start fucking crying again. "Kacchan, it's not because of you...my mom got it for me after the most recent stint with my father...Now relax..."

Midoriya's P.O.V.

After a few minutes of his massage, Kacchan is fast asleep. He must have been exhausted, I reach the remote and turn of the TV and playstation, being careful not to wake him. He had fallen asleep and slowly leaned into me, so I gently leaned back onto his bed. I knew we weren't supposed to stay in each others rooms like this, but it felt wrong leaving his side. Especially with the way he is right now, I'm worried about him. 

I pull the blankets over top of us, and I scoot closer to Kacchan. I can't resist, and I pull his sleeping body closer to mine, and gently snuggle against his back. I imagine that he dislikes being the little spoon but I felt like this once he might just want to be held and loved...
