Warm Sugar: DekuKatsu

Chapter 2🍡 The Other Side of Town

Edited

Katsuki and Midoriya walked through the busy streets until they made it to the subway. There, they stepped on and found some seats. It was empty during this time since the rush hour ended...well, hours ago. Katsuki lays his head on Midoriya's broad shoulder as he looks at the opposite side of the train. Graffiti and posters littered the entire train car. The posters he was able to see said things like 'Omega rights!' 'Omega's brought you into this world!' 'Why are we looked down upon?'

     In this society, alphas are superior. Concurring any and everything with a snap of their finger. Betas were treated just as fair as long as they were of high status. But omegas were the lowest ranking genders of the bunch. They're just looked at as a submissive housewife and baby making machines. Recently, omegas have had enough, so for the past three years omegas started to speak out their claims. They created the O Project to fight against the government for that secondary gender to be more respected.

     Katsuki feels Midoriya move his shoulders up. He thought he was being a bother so he slowly begins to sit up. "You didn't have to move your head Kacchan. I'm just stretching." The greenette's laugh makes the blonde blush and he fiddled with the hem of his sweater. "I-it's okay. I just–."

     "Are you afraid of something?"

     Katsuki shakes his head feverishly. "No no no! Besides if I were I wouldn't have wanted to stay with you!" Midoriya tilts his head with a smirk, "yeah. I guess you're right." Katsuki couldn't help but giggle, he couldn't understand why he felt so comfortable around Midoriya. He's only known him for such a short amount of time. But he feels like he's known Midoriya for forever.

     It was around thirty minutes when the train stopped. Midoriya quickly clutches the omega's hand and steps off the subway. "Listen", he mumbles loud enough for Katsuki to hear. His tone was very stern, "you stay close to me. Don't look at anyone and don't wander off. Keep your head up, got it?"

Katsuki nods his head against Midoriya's arm, "okay." Midoriya turns around and looks straight into his eyes. "I'm being serious Kacchan. This part of town ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It's dangerous." He looked into the boy's red for eyes and began to have guilt twist in his gut. "Ugh, this is exactly why I didn't want you to come." Katsuki frowns and crosses his arms over his chest, "I can handle it. I'll do as you say, and plus you won't let anything bad happen to me right?"

"Of course not", Midoriya declares quickly.

"Then that settles everything. Now come on, I won't look at people." Katsuki grabs the man's hand and walks forward, but he's tugged back and he bumps into someone's chest. He looks up at Midoriya and gives him a cheeky smile, "right. You lead the way."

"Heh, good idea."

This side of town Katsuki recognized as the slums. There were many old apartments and abandoned buildings that were graffitied over. The blonde saw a middle aged woman leaning over her window with a cigarette in her hand. And being innocent, he waves up to her and smiles. The woman only raises a barely visible brow before rolling her eyes and flicking the tobacco stick into the street, closing her window with a faint slam! soon after. "What I say about looking at people", Midoriya growls.

     "S-Sorry", the omega murmurs.

A few homeless people walked into alleyways or huddled close with one another by fire pits to keep warm. Suspicious looking people leaned against walls or walked past him and the green haired alpha, but didn't dare do anything to them as a look that seemed to be fear casted over their face whenever they caught a glimpse of Midoriya's deathly glare.
