Just Friends?

Chapter Two

-Bakugo's POV-

"Let's play a game!" Kaminari yells. Kirishima replies, "Yeah, how about truth or dare?" Everyone agrees except Izuku, Todoroki, and me. I have secrets that I don't want spilled in a stupid ass party game. "Then it's settled, who wants to go first?" We all then sit in a misshapen circle form and Mina starts with daring Pikachu to zap himself. 'How fucking boring. Don't these idiots know how to have actual fun?' I think to myself. A few others go, doing boring truths and dares before shitty hair says my name, "Bakubro, truth or dare?" "Fucking finally, first of all, don't call me that name, and dare of course, I'm not a coward." "I dare you to tell us who you have a crush on." "Isn't that basically just a truth dumbass?" I really don't want to answer this, my crush isn't someone they'd expect and I do not want to ruin our friendship. "Well, I said I dare you to say it, so it's a dare." "Fine. I like D-deku," I say, silently cursing myself for stuttering. I look at Deku and his face is completely red and shocked. "I'm fucking leaving now." I wouldn't be able to stay there, bombarded with questions and shit, even worse being rejected by Deku. I get up and head to the elevator, but I hear someone else getting up and following me too. "Who the hell is following me, huh? You wanna die?!" I turn around to see which asshole is trying to come with me. 'Fuck it's Deku.' "Sorry," I mutter, then continue towards the elevator, getting in and pressing the button for my floor.

-Izuku's POV- (after Katsuki admits to liking him)

"Fine. I like D-deku." I was definitely not expecting that. I feel my face heat up, my best friend and crush just admitted to liking me. "I'm fucking leaving now." I hear Kacchan say then get up and head towards the elevator. I try to follow him because I want to tell him I like him too. "Who the hell is following me, huh? You wanna die?!" He yells, but then turns around and sees me, after muttering a Sorry, he keeps going to the elevator and gets in. I run in with him as quickly as I can. I won't let him leave without me.

-Bakugou POV-

"What the shit, Deku?! Why would you even want to be near me after that? I fucking told you I like you! My best friend, a guy!" I say, confused. 'How is he even able to be near me? I'm disgusting.' Shit I'm starting to tear up too now, just great. "Of course I'll still want to be near you. And what's so wrong with having a crush on a guy, so what if you're gay?" He asks me. What does he mean 'what's so wrong with it'? Of course it's not okay for me to like guys, my whole life I've been taught that liking the same sex isn't good or natural by my parents and family (sorry Masaru and Mitsuki). I remember when they first saw that I wasn't normal.

Flashback
I was 14 years old, and I was watching *insert gay show here* because it was what came on when the TV turned on. I watched for a few minutes before getting bored, so I went to grab the remote off the table. As I grabbed the remote though, I looked at the T.V and two guys were kissing, I realized I kinda liked it, but of course that just had to be when my parents walked into the living room. That was the last day we were all happy together and the first day my dad hit me and Mom yelled at me.
⚠️ TRIGGER WARNING⚠️
(Abuse and homophobia)
"You faggot! How could you do this to us, I can't believe it!" My mom yelled, then my father came up to me and slapped me in the face. My dad used to be the nicest person, I had no idea that he could even hurt a fly, but I guess he is a lot worse than I thought. Or maybe it's just my fault, I pushed him I guessed. I'll probably never know. Now things like this, and sometimes even worse, happen nearly everyday. I just am used to it now though.
>Trigger warning over<
Flashback over
I hate that memory. It's all my fault my family isn't happy, that none of grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles don't even want to be associated with me and parents. I ruined their lives, I-I- "Ka-Kacchan?! Are you okay?!" I can't breathe anymore.

-Izuku's POV-

Oh god, he's having a panic attack. Maybe I should try to get Recovery Girl? I'm not good at this. What does Mom do when I have panic attacks? I sit next to him on the ground, trying to remember what Mom does. I put one hand on his back then move my thumb in a circular motion. "Hey Kacchan, it's okay, I'm right here, what's wrong?" I try to soothe, wishing I knew how to help more. "Shh it's okay." I move my body in front of him(he's in a fetal position against the corner in the elevator btw) with my hand still on his back and hug him as best I can. At this point, the elevator has just opened and we're just sitting in an open elevator, but they close themselves pretty soon after. After a couple more minutes I can feel him calm down and he stops sobbing and is barely shaking anymore. "Hey Kacchan, do you want to get out of the elevator? Maybe go to your room?" I ask gently, I don't want to do anything that might upset him again, so I don't push it, just in case. He nods and I get into a squatting position to help him up. He surprisingly accepts the help and seems to be grateful. We're on his floor because that is where he was heading from the 'party' in the common room. We go to his room and he hands me his keys. After unlocking the door I hand his keys back and walk in. "Now sit on the bed and explain why you panicked, u-unless you aren't up for it of course." "I-I actually kinda wanted to talk to you about me liking you first. And you had better not tell fucking anyone about this, you hear me?" "I promise I won't tell anyone, I'm not that mean." "You aren't mean at all." I giggle at that, then change to a more serious face, "Kacchan, I like you too." He stood there kinda frozen. 

-Bakugou's POV-

"Kacchan, I like you too." I was so shocked, I just stood there. "R-really? But why, how? It's weird, isn't it, please don't just say that cause you're uncomfortable or-" "I would never say something like that unless I truly meant it. Why would I be uncomfortable?" "Because being gay isn't okay! It's wrong and-and" Shit, shit shit shit shit, I can't breathe again "Deku..." I fell off the bed and to the ground then huddled against it in a fetal position. Not again, I'm so pathetic. I felt him do the same thing he did with me in the elevator, and thanks to him I was able to calm down quickly. "Thanks, I'm sorry." "Don't be sorry, it's not your faul-" "Yes it is! I ruin everything!" It was true, everything I loved got hurt or burdened by my and my shitty problems. First my parents, now Deku. "Hey, shh, you do not ruin everything. Why would you think that? You are perfect and amazing." "Im really not that great, you don't know the half of it. I don't just think it though, I know it, I ruined my parents life, I'm such a shitty son." "Why do you think you ruined their lives, Katsuki?" Oh wow, he said my first name that's rare. "My parents found out that I liked guys and um- they yelled, yeah yelled, and they told the rest of my family. Now my family members refuse to contact us at all and try to convince people that we aren't even family. A-and it's all my damn fault. I just couldn't be normal and like girls, I had to go and like guys and make my parents become hated." I was now full on sobbing, I hated remembering how bad I made it for my parents. "Katsuki, they did more than just yell at you didn't they?" "M-maybe. I deserved it though." "I can't believe I didn't know this until now, I wish you had told me. That's okay though at least now I do. You should not be treated like that, no one should. Listen to me, it is perfectly okay to like guys, girls, or even both if that's your thing. There is nothing wrong with it and love is love. Your parents should most definitely not do things like that and they shouldn't even be able to be called parents, fuck them. They should care more about you than what other goddamn people think. It really isn't your fault that the idiots in your family can't accept you for who you are. What I know is that I want you to be happy and I want to help you in anyway I can." He is right, I think. It's not my fault. I don't even know how he was able to help me so much so quickly. "Thank you for everything, Izuku. Are-are you s-sure that you like like me?" I just need to make sure, before I do something kind of drastic. "Of course I am sure." "Good." That's all I say before leaning forward and pressing my lips against his.
