The Anarchy (Tododeku & Kiribaku)

The Anarchy: Chapter Thirteen- The Truth Hurts

A/N: Friendly reminder. Shouto and Inasa were friends since they were 10. They dated at the age of 14 and broke up at the age of 20. They knew each other for 10 years and dated for six years. There's a reason why Shouto isn't able to let go of his feelings over Inasa. Inasa was Shouto's first friend and first lover.   

"Hi, Inasa." Shouto stood in front of Inasa. He wasn't going to back down, "It's been a while since we last spoke." He didn't see Inasa frequently unless it was at the place where they work. "I didn't expect you to be here," Inasa admitted. "Me neither, but here I am." Shouto glimpsed at his old home, 'It appears that nothing changed.' Shouto catches the sounds of talking happening from inside. "Oh, you have company." Shouto glimpsed at Inasa, 'Is he dating again?' Inasa nervously chuckles, "I didn't anticipate you to visit any time soon." Shouto moves back, "I apologize for intruding." Shouto was about to leave, and then someone came to the door. "Shouto, honey, it's been a long time since we last saw each other," Inasa's mother said. "Come in," she tugged on Shouto's arm. "Yoarashi-san, I don't think that's-"

"I insist," she continued, "The whole family is here." Shouto turned pale when he heard Inasa's mother say that. "Mom, I don't think he wants to be here," Inasa said. She shook her head, "Shush, Inasa." She smacked Inasa behind the head, and Shouto laughed. Inasa rubbed the back of his head, "That wasn't necessary." Shouto forgot what he came here for when Inasa's mother dragged him to the living room. "You sit there," she ordered. Shouto sat down on the sofa and glanced around. She shuffled back to the living room and handed Shouto a cup of tea. He thanked her before setting his teacup on the table. He saw Inasa exit the house through the back door and excused himself. Inasa was sitting on the grass, observing the night sky. "Todoroki, you shouldn't be here," Inasa stated. He regarded the dual-colored boy alongside him. "Doesn't being here remind you of all the shit I did?"

"Inasa, you don't want me here?" Yoarashi sighed, "I'm surprised that you're able to stand in the same area as me. Why are you even here?" Todoroki sat in front of his past lover, "I loved you. I love you even though you hurt me. I want to know why you hurt me." Todoroki swallowed his fear as Inasa didn't know how to react. "Todoroki, you need to leave." Todoroki shook his head, "I'm not going to leave until I know the truth!"

Inasa grabbed his wrists, "I didn't love you, Shouto! I never did!" He saw the tears dwelling from Shouto's mismatched eyes. He let go of Shouto's wrists, "Y-You told me that you loved me. You lied to me." Inasa wanted to tell Shouto the truth, but he couldn't. Shouto wiped his tears, "You're a heartless bastard. I fucking hate you!" Shouto stood up and started to walk away until Inasa grabbed his hand. Shouto was shocked when Inasa pulled him close. Inasa had his arms around Todoroki's waist and kissed him. Todoroki returned the kiss and wrapped his arms around his neck. Inasa pulled away, "I lied, Shouto." Inasa tightens his hold around Todoroki's waist.

"Your father," Inasa whispered when he tore away from the kiss. Shouto's eyes widen at the sudden detail. He realized the position they were in and removed himself. He hated that he still harbored feelings for his past lover. 'What the hell am I doing?' Shouto had a hand pressed against his lips before looking at Inasa. "Why did you kiss me?" Inasa rubbed the back of his neck, "I didn't want you to leave. It was wrong of me to kiss you without your consent."

"What do you mean by my father?" Shouto didn't understand what Inasa meant. His father didn't care about his relationships, "My father wasn't around as often." Inasa sighed, "Do you remember the day we went to the mountain?"

Todoroki giggled in excitement, "I can't wait!" Inasa smiled at Todoroki's gleeful mood, "When you told me that you've never gone mountain climbing, I thought you were lying." Todoroki rolled his eyes, "My old man never took my family out." Todoroki was packing for their trip up the mountain. "Your old man is an asshole," Inasa admitted. Shouto rolled his eyes, playfully, "You think I don't know that already?" Inasa chuckled at his lover's commentary. "We should get going before it turns dark." Shouto smiles and hands Inasa their bag, "I have everything we need packed." Shouto was happy to try out new things with Inasa. They've been together for three years.
