Chapter thirty one: under arrest.

You paced uncomfortably around your dorm room with Otis nipping at your legs playfully. You had changed out of that elegant dress and were now in your pyjamas. What Katsuki had said was rolling through your head at the speed of light.

"Was that flirting? I didn't even know he COULD flirt! Did he do that on purpose?...wait...WAIT.. HE WAS DISTRACTING ME! THE LITTLE SHIT!" You cried out to yourself in realisation. You ran out onto your balcony and saw him marching away from the dorm with Midoriya following behind him.

"Oh hell no..." you mumbled.

Had you not been so distracted by his sudden advance earlier, you would've taken note of the fact that Katsuki had said he was going to beat up Midoriya to let some of his frustrations out. He had cleverly found a way to distract you from what he was planning by flustering you. He didn't want to lie to you about what he was planning to do. Telling you his intentions and then distracting you was the best way for him to be honest with you and not feel guilty. Crafty brat.

You climbed from your balcony onto the one below. And then from there jumped the rest of the way down into the grass. You sprinted after them as quickly as possible, keeping enough distance between you and them to not alert them of your presence.

Katsuki had lead Midoriya to the fake city training ground. He stood in front of the green haired boy with his head held low and his hands balled into fists.

You had climbed a nearby building to spy on them from a distance, ready to step in if things went too far. From where you were, you couldn't hear what Katsuki was talking about but he was clearly distressed. He was shaking angrily and marched towards Midoriya. He threw a punch at the boy.

Midoriya wasn't fighting back, and Katsuki was getting even more frustrated. You hated seeing both of your friends in this state so you climbed back down from your hiding place and made your way closer to them.

At this point, Midoriya started to fight back. You had managed to just about pick up what was wrong. Katsuki felt it was his fault that All Might had lost his powers. He also realised that Midoriya was the retired number one's favourite student. He was angry at Midoriya...and angry at himself.

You grabbed a handful of the fabric of your pyjamas and sprinted towards the boys that were rushing towards each other. In one quick movement you had used both of your fists to hit both boys in the face. They went falling backwards.

Midoriya was surprised to see you and worriedly stood up when he saw your expression.

Katsuki rubbed the cheek that you had punched and angrily whipped his head around to glare at you. He was about to scream but he was silenced when he heard a sob escape your throat.

"WOULD YOU TWO IDIOTS STOP FIGHTING?! Midoriya haven't you learned not to encourage him!? And Katsuki..." you looked up at him with blurry eyes. "You aren't the only person who feels responsible for what happened. All might saved me too... I was weak too, I WAS KIDNAPPED TOO!"

Your shouts echoed through the empty streets. Katsuki reached a hand out to you slowly, but he flinched and stopped himself, bringing it back beside himself and turning away from you.

"L/n..." Midoriya started quietly and placed a hand on your shoulder, "this...this needs to be done. Katsuki needs this, you understand that right? A part of me needs this too. It won't get out of hand I promise. You know as well as I do that this is just how he works. He's communicating his frustration the only way he knows how." Midoriya spoke quietly.

You turned back to look at Katsuki. He was trembling and kept his eyes on you. You sighed to yourself and wiped your tears against the back of your hand.
