2 - Local Idiots

He left the house as well. I knew he wasn't following Deku though. I was still frozen in shock but was interrupted by Kiri.

    "Meet me at the park." He said quickly before hanging up. I sighed and put my phone in my pocket. Auntie looked at me as I walked into the room. She looked concerned and confused at the same time.

    "What happened, Kasumi?" She asked. I held my breath. I couldn't possibly tell her what Katsuki said. It would break her heart.

    "O-Oh!" I stuttered, silently cursing myself. "Deku an-Deku and Katsuki got into a fight. Dek-Deku stormed out." She nodded in understanding. "I'm going to meet a friend at the park." Auntie smirked at me.

    "Is it a boy?" My eyes widened.

    "Auntie!" She chuckled. I walked to the door to pull on my shoes. I said goodbye to Auntie over my shoulder. I looked around. Deku nor Katsuki were anywhere to be seen. I huffed and headed in the direction of the nearby park.

    "Kas!" Kiri called, running over to me. He landed on a bench and patted the seat next to him. I sat but ended up curling myself into his warmth. "You owe me an explanation, Kas." I nodded into him.

    "Katsuki and Deku are transgender. Kaori is Katsuki's dead name and Isako is Deku's dead name." My voice was muffled but he could still hear me. "I was defending Katsuki from our transphobic mom. You can't tell anyone what I told you. Not even Mina."

    "I won't, you can trust me." I smiled in his chest, snuggling closer to him. "You're my best friend, you know?"

    "Of course I know! I love you, Kiri!"

    "I love you more!" He kissed the top of my head. "No hetero." I started laughing hysterically.

    "Shut your gay ass up!" I wheezed. People were looking at us strangely. I don't blame them. Seeing two 15 year olds dying from laughter on a park bench was strange. We sat there for a while, enjoying each other's presence.

    I had gotten back from the park a few minutes ago when the doorbell rang. I opened it to see my mom. She was holding two female uniforms. I was hoping they were both for me but I knew better.

    "Your letters from UA came." She said coldly. "I opened them. You both got in. Here's you and Kaori's uniforms. I picked them up a few minutes ago." I was pissed.

    "You got Katsuki the wrong uniform." She glared at me.

    "No! This is the correct uniform for KAORI! She is a girl! She will never be a boy!" I had a feeling there was somebody behind me. I turned to see Katsuki. His face looked blank.

    "Get out." He said quietly.

    "Wha-"

    "GET OUT!" Mom scoffed and put the uniforms in my arms. She walked away quickly. I slammed the door behind her. I looked back at Katsuki to see him sitting on the ground, not wanting to look at me. Deku still wasn't back. Looking at Katsuki, I had a sudden realization. I raced to Deku's room, Katsuki chasing after me. I slammed the door behind me, sitting with my back against it. He struggled to open it. "KASUMI!" I quickly reached over to grab his bags before he broke in. I searched through them before I found what I was looking for. An x-acto knife with a plastic cover over the blade. I quickly stuffed it into my pocket. I opened the door only to be met with a fist to my face. I almost fell but caught myself at the last second. Katsuki held his hand out. My hand went up to where he punched me. It came away wet with blood.

    "Give. It. To. Me. Now. Kasumi." I brushed past him, walking to the bathroom. Looking in the mirror, my nose was bleeding. I spun around to see Katsuki staring at me angrily. I had never seen him this angry. He moved and I flinched, my arms automatically flying up to protect my face. He gasped quietly, I could barely hear him. He gently lowered my arms. "Kasumi, I'm sorry.."

    "GET OUT OF MY FACE KAORI!" I screamed. The look on his face made me regret everything. I pushed past him once again, this time leaving the house. I didn't get very far before I collapsed on the sidewalk in sobs. I pulled the knife out of my pocket and just looked at it for a while before chucking it as far as I could. I took out my phone, the screen looked blurry.

KasSmash: where are you?

    After ten minutes there was still no answer.

KasSmash: please

KasSmash: i'm sorry

SmolTree: *SmolTree sent their location!*

    I smiled and stood up shakily. I followed the message to Deku and Katsuki's middle school. My phone buzzed.

SmolTree: Roof.

    I nodded to myself and pulled on the doors of the school. Surprisingly they opened. I followed the signs that led to the roof. It was a lot of stairs. With a bit of struggle, I managed to get the door open. I was met with Deku sitting on the edge of the roof, his feet dangling over the side. Knowing him he wouldn't try anything. If he was going to he would've by now. I quietly walked over, taking a seat next to him. I sighed.

    "I fucked up, Deku.." I said quietly. He looked at me with a curious expression. His hand reached up to touch the dried blood I forgot to clean off.

    "What happened, Suuchan?" I choked out a sob. He gasped and quickly wrapped his arms around me. I leaned into his shoulder. He wasn't as warm as Kiri but he would do.

    "Katsuki punched me, that's what the blood is." He nodded. "I was angry at him and myself and my mom and I just forgot."

    "Forgot what?"

    "I forgot his real name.." I sobbed harder. "He hates me! I know it!" Deku's hand went under my chin and he lifted my face up to look him in the eyes.

    "He doesn't hate you. He may be mad and upset but he doesn't hate you. He could never. You shouldn't have done that but everyone slips up once in a while. Hell, sometimes I slip up with my own name!" He let go of my face and I let out a slight chuckle, leaning into him more.

    "Oh! Katsuki and I got in!" I exclaimed, smiling. He smiled back.

    "That's awesome! Congrats! Has my letter come yet?"

    "Probably." I started kicking my legs slightly. "I didn't exactly get to check." He just nodded and looked forward. The sun was setting. Deku grabbed my hand and squeezed it, making me giggle. He's not my favorite person in the world but he's like a brother to me. You gotta admit, he's fucking adorable. We just sat there for a while, soaking in the sunset and each other's company.

*gasp* Deku said hell. (it's actual canon that he says hell and damn so,,) i forgot to post this on time but hope you enjoyed my lovelies :)
