Chapter 21

"Katsuki?! What are you doing?!" I asked confused as we made it to my room and he let go of my arm.

"I wanna ask you some things." He said as I nodded.

"Sure, what do you wanna ask?" I questioned as he took a deep breath.

"Why did you freak out so much when I lost my grip a little earlier?" He asked.

"My... My dad when I was little did the same thing, I trusted him cause he'd done it before and I thought it was so much fun... but one day he lost his grip and I... I hit the ground, broke my arm and hit my head, I got a concussion and needed 7 stitches in the back of my head where I hit a sharp stone. I've been terrified to do it ever since, you doing it just brought back the memories, that's all." I explained as I rubbed the scar on the back of my head.

"I didn't know... I-I'm sorry." He apologised.

"It's ok, you didn't know, I'm sorry for getting so upset at you for something you didn't know anything about." I smiled.

*I've never seen this side of him... he's... he's so cute.* I thought as he looked at me.

I realised what I thought and instantly went red.

*He'd probably kill me if he knew what I just thought!* I thought as I swallowed hard.

"Your blushing, what are you thinking about?" He questioned with a smirk.

"N-Nothing! I'm not blushing! What are you on about?!" I said as I turned away from him with my hands on my burning cheeks.

"Your so cute." He chuckled as I turned to him in surprise.

Katsuki's POV:

"Your so cute." I laughed as she turned to me with wide eyes.

I realised what I said and covered my mouth as an unfamiliar heat spread across my face.

She stared at me for a second before laughing.

"Now who's the blushing cutie?" She teased as she took a few steps towards me and stuck her tongue out.

"C-Cutie?! I-I'm not cute!" I stammered as I backed her up against the closest wall.

The smile soon dropped from her face as her blush became darker.

*What is this girl doing to me?! If she's unhappy then I'm unhappy, if she's smiling then I'm smiling, if she screams I run to her... WHAT IS THIS FEELING?!* I thought as I frowned in confusion.

"What's wrong?" She asked as she placed her hand on my cheek. "Your burning! Do you have a fever?"

"N-No... I don't know what's wrong with me... I don't understand how you have so much control over me." I mumbled at a volume I thought she couldn't hear.

"Control over you? I don't... understand... umm, tell me what your thinking?" She asked.

"I-I don't know what I'm thinking, I've never felt like this before." I said as my confusion started to annoy me.

"You've never felt like this before? Ok... start slow, what are you confused about?" She asked.

"You, I'm confused about you." I said as she looked at me in surprise.

"Me? Ok, so what's confusing you about me?" She asked as a confused and worried look spread across her face.

"Everything, if your happy, I'm happy, if your upset, I'm worried, if you scream, I run to you... I don't understand!" I said as more annoyance at the situation started making me angry.

Suddenly she started giggling, I looked at her as her giggles turned into crippling laughter. After a couple minutes she managed to stop laughing as I looked at her in shock.

"I didn't realise it but I've been feeling the same way, I can't believe you've never felt like this before... you like me and... I like you." She said as it all seemed to make sense.

"I... I lik... Fuck it! I hate speaking!" I huffed as I wrapped my left arm around her waist and placed my right hand on her still burning cheek.

She slipped her arms around my neck and before I knew what I was doing, I pulled her closer and we kissed. Her lips were soft and smooth against mine as I pulled her closer.

"ABOUT BLOODY TIME!"

We broke the kiss as Y/N squeaked and covered her mouth in surprise.

Your POV:

"MUM!?" I yelled she looked at me with her hands on her hips.

"What? I heard you laughing, not my fault if you didn't see me here before you swapped spit." She said in a happy but sassy tone.

"Y-You couldn't at least kn-knock or something?" I stammered as I rubbed my neck.

"Hey! At least I'm being chill about this." She scoffed with a smile. "Now, ground rules. Keep the doors open, protect each other and use protec-"

"MUM! Ok, we get it!" I interrupted as she laughed.

"I'm just saying, I am NOT ready to be a grandmother when your only 15!" She said sternly.

"It's fine! We're not going to- it was just a kiss!" I said as she started walking away.

"A kiss can lead to more~ so kissing better be all your doing!~" She hummed as she went downstairs.

I sighed deeply as I turned to Katsuki, even more flustered than before.

"I-I'm so sorry about her... she can jump to conclusions sometimes." I sighed as I rubbed my neck.

"It's fine." He chuckled as he walked up to me.

He placed his hands on my cheeks and gently pulled me closer, he kissed me again before wrapping his arms around my waist and burying his head in the crook of my neck, his warm breath sending goosebumps over my skin as his grip slowly tightened.

"I haven't known you for long but you've gotten closer to me than anybody else ever has over my entire life, I don't know how you managed to break down my walls so easily but you did, and now I don't know what to do." He whispered quietly as he played with my hair and traced circles and shapes onto my back.

"Y-You know I'm going to have to leave once I'm done a UA... right?" I whispered sadly.

"No! Once your done at UA your officially either a sidekick or an independent hero, so you don't have to leave! You can make your own decisions!" He said as he released me from the hug and grabbed both my shoulders.

My eyes widened as I realised that after UA I would finally be free to stay if I wanted, slowly a smile replaced my frown as I hugged him again.

"If that's true, then... I chose to stay!" I said happily as he chuckled and shook his head.

"Your such a dork... but... y-your my dork." He smiled as a small blush crept back into his cheeks.
