I looked around and saw darkness. To my left, Katsuki, to my right, my father. I stand up and walk towards Katsuki, he slides back about 10 yards at least. I start running but to no avail. Realizing that I'm actually moving backwards. Towards the... Scum bag.

He put his left hand on my shoulder and squeezed tightly. He quickly covered my mouth and nose. "Go to sleep." He says as I faint.

And then I wake up. I'm sweating and panting. What just happened? I'm now in my bed. What happened to that room?
I decide to text Katsuki.

Me - Hey are you up?

Katsuki - Yeah, what's wrong

Me - I had another nightmare.

Katsuki - The same one?

Me - Yeah.

Katsuki - Are you okay?

Me - I don't honestly know.

Katsuki - Do you wanna go somewhere? I can come pick you up

Me - Yeah, if it's not too much trouble.

Katsuki - Be there in a minute.

Why can't I just sleep without having a nightmare? In about fifteen minutes I hear a knocking at my window, and there's beutiful Katsuki.

"Hey" He says as he helps me out my window. "Where do you wanna go?" He asked.

"I don't know. Anywhere but here." I say as I land on the ground.

"Okay." He says as he grabs my hand and we walk away.

We walk to the park and sit on a bench.

"Do you wanna... talk about it?" He asks me.

I shake my head slowly. "I'd rather talk about anything else." I say.

He nods in agreement. "Hey, remember last year, that kid Deku saved? You said he was a kid version of me."

"Yeah, what about him?"

"I've been thinking about getting in touch with him. Whadyou think?" He asked.

"I think that's a good idea." I say. I don't think him and Katsuki actually talked that whole trip.

"Yeah, I don't know exactly how though. Maybe Deku knows." He says.

"Maybe. I'd imagine he would."

"The nerd liked him a lot to ruin his body for the kid." He said.

"Actually, he asked me for advise to get through to him. He tried words but it didn't work." I explain.

"What did you say?" He asked me.

"It told him that he was a stranger to the kid. If he wanted to change his complete mindset with words, then they'd have to be very powerful. Otherwise, you'd actually have to do something." I know those weren't the exact words I said but it gets the point across.

"When the fuck did you get so smart?" He asked with bewilderment.

"My father made me study every single day. Even in the summer. I wasn't allowed a TV, sweets, or anything else a kid likes to eat or do to slack off or relax." I explain.

"What did you study?"

"Encyclopedias, history, math, English, all of the stuff you'd learn in school."

"All I did was use the computer for watching p- stuff." He said, he cut himself off from saying something.

"What were you gonna say?"  I ask.

"Nothing" he says coolly.

"Nothing?" I give him a look of disbelief, though I had a slight smile on my face.

"Nothing"

I lean in and kiss him. He puts his hand on my cheek and we do that for about a minute. I pull away slightly, leaving an inch or so between our lips.

"Tell me" I whisper. He kisses me once more.

"Nah, I'm good" He says, slouching back on the bench chair.

"Why so secretive Katsuki?" I ask in a slightly seductive voice.

He looks at me with confusion plastered on his face. Then the confusion melts away.

"I'm still not telling you-" He says with a slight raise in pitch in his voice.

"Fine. Goodbye Katsuki." I say as I stand up trying to scare him.

He grabs my waist and sits me on his lap. "Hello Shoto." He says with a smile on his face.

I'm blushing so hard I might as well have been born a tomato.

He wraps his arms around my waist and rests his head on my back.

"Not fair" I say.

"Fair or not. I get to cuddle you." He remarks.

Time skip
-lunch-

I'm sitting with Katsuki, Kirishima and Midoria. Kaminari decided to sit with sero today.

"So Bakubro, when are you two gonna make up that class work you and Todoroki missed?" Kirishima asks.

He knows I'm not a fan of talking so I'm glad he was considerate enough to ask Katsuki and not me.

"Whenever we have time." He says plainly.

"What were you two doing while you guys were 'in the restroom' anyway?" Midoria asks with air quotations.

"Nothing, nerd." He states.

"Nothing? You guys said you were dating the other day. So it can't have been nothing." Kirishima says, trying to sound smart.

"He s-said it was nothing okay! Drop it." I demand. Raising my voice a little. Both Kirishima and Midoria go wide eyed while Katsuki gives me a look of pride and concern at the same time.

"O-okay, sorry Todoroki." Midoria says.

"N-no, i-i'm sorry." I stutter out.

"You're fine, we had no place to be pushing you guys. I'm sorry too." Kirishima states.

I stay silent for the rest of lunch. I don't know why, but I just got a surge of rage when they started asking those questions.

I didn't want to freak out on anyone else. I just bounced my foot and leaned towards the table with my elbows on my knees.

Katsuki grabbed one of my hands and held it but then the bell rang and we went to math.

I wasn't paying too much attention. Just sketching on a random sheet of paper.

It was a picture of Katsuki, in a sweater and a zip up jacket. He was leaning over and he had a finger in his mouth with his tongue sticking out.

It wasn't the best but it was something. Sketching that just reminds me of his funny, gentle side. Before that day, on the way to school, he never really showed me that side too often.

Now, that's the side I see most of him and it makes me really happy. He's so amazing. I can't imagine my life without him.
