Todobaku Angst

Cheater Ending (??) Last Ending

Shoto's POV

I arrived at the hospital and sat outside Katsuki's room.

My tears fell from my eyes.

Why though?

It's been so long since I've teared up this badly.

I felt guilt rising from the bottom of my stomach.

It didn't feel nice.

Perhaps.. perhaps this was my fault. If I hadn't cheated, Katsu- Bakugo would still be here. He'd still be here, showing his rare smiles that were genuine, his moans— amazing cooking I'd eat everyday.

Suddenly, a burst of nostalgic memories I had with Kat- Bakugo came back to me in an instance. I never realized until now.. how much I lost. How badly I had lost the one that truly loved me. I didn't realize how much he meant to me.

That persistent, arrogant, blonde male gave up his opportunity to get the job he desired just to be with me in Japan. Guilt was tripping me.

For once in my life have I never felt this guilty about anything.

I—

The doctors came outside Katsuki's room to update me on what had happened.

❝ I'm sorry... ❞

Those two words.

Why sorry?

❝  I'm sorry, Shoto. ❞

I remember Katsuki telling me that one day we got into a huge argument.

Was this a dream?

I'm sorry, Katsuki.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

im sor—

❝ Sir? ❞

I snapped back into reality.

❝  Sorry, I wasn't listening. Could you repeat that? ❞

❝ It's alright, i was saying that Mr Bakugō would need some rest. And you need to go home. It's passed visiting times. ❞

I nodded hesitantly before apologizing once again.

I went back home, not to Yaoyorozu's apartment, but rather our apartment.

I found myself tracing my fingers along the walls that he and I painted together.

I moved to our bedroom.

It was a mess.

Clothes all scattered along the floor.

my clothes on the bed, the clothes I wore the night I made the mistake.

Guilt overcame me once again.
