the hunter and the king (Completed)

part 3

His eyes widened
He remembered.

"I-izuku...?
"H-hey...ka-achan..."
His eyes lit up like a night moon in autumn, only they were flooded with tears. He held me so tight in a warm embracing hug. I felt safe. But also...angry.
While I was happy to have my old friend back, there was a damn good reason why I wanted revenge on him.
Flashback to 15 years ago
(They were both 5)

"KACCHAN HELP, I'M GOING TO FALL!"
I said, while holding onto the cliff kacchan tried to knock me off of
"Don't be a wuss, just let go! If your a real man, you'll be fine!"
I took a deep breath as I looked into his eyes
"I hope your right..."
And let go.

I closed my eyes as I was falling down the cliff and getting closer and closer to the sea
"DEKU! I DIDN'T MEAN IT!"
I heard him cry out as I almost reached the water.
And then...
Nothing.
I remember nothing else.
The doctors said I had a concussion, and I wouldn't remember much.
All I do remember is that it's his fault...and I was in a coma for 3 years...

Present time.
"I'M SO SO SORRY IZUKU, I DIDN'T MEAN TO HURT YOU!"
Did he just...call me izuku?

"I hope you don't expect me to forgive you, kacchan."

...

"I don't...I hurt you so much... Physically and mentally"

"You didn't let me finish...

I didn't want you to expect me to forgive you... But I do forgive you"
"Y-you do...?"

"Yes."

After a good 5 minutes of hugging and crying, he let go and looked deep into my eyes, my soul...

"I..have something to say..."
"Don't we all?"

"...I have to say something, then"
"No need. I already know. Your sorry, you can't believe your childhood friends a killer, excetera excetera"

"No..."

"No?"

"You don't know people as well as you think you do"

"Oh?"

"I was going to say something that I've wanted to say since we were five years old when I saw you in that coma.."

"Izuku midoriya...I am in love with you..."

What?

He's....

In love with me...?

No...

H-he can't...

He's lying...

I stood there in silence

He looked at me with hope in his eyes.

Hope that I truly forgave him.
Hope I felt the same.

Hope that...

We could be something...
Something.... beautiful.

He leaned in so close I could feel his breath on my face...

And then I felt his hands around my waist, pulling me in closer, in a stronger grip, dipping me a bit...
What should I do?

What can I do?

Maybe....

Just let him?

Our lips were almost touching...

Our eyes locked...

It was now or never...
And I choose...

Now.

I closed my eyes, as did he, and plunged me into a nice long, loving kiss....

It felt so right...so good..

Then, after a few minutes, when I couldn't breath..he stopped..
To let me catch my breath.
After, he kissed me again.
This went on for 10 minutes.

I guess, we were both just... really....happy.
Then he let go.

Well, he stopped kissing me.

His strong grip on my waist and back did not stop though..

He stared at me intensely
And it almost scared me...

He looked so...how do I put this? He looked a mix of happy, sad, frustrated, and pitiful.

We both stood upright once again and stared at each other.

"I've waited a long time to do that..."
