A Fantasy {KatsuDeku Au}

Training Until Then

Bakugou and Midoriya take Eri out for a day to have a little fun, but then they decided to head back to the hostel. There, Mei and Kaminari both appear. As the night goes on, people start to leave to get their most need sleep.

A minute of me trapped like this before his warm breath leaves my neck. I relax a bit feeling it go away. I open my eyes, only to see him staring down. We lock our gazes, and my heart starts pounding.

"Why are you like this all of a sudden?" I stare confidently into the depths of his eyes. It is a scary sight to see them up so close. Whatever he wants to talk about must explain this… expression he chooses to wear. A facade of anger like usual. Deep down somewhere, I don't really want to hear it. I don't wanna talk about this or that.

Kacchan, we have nothing to discuss.

Before marching our way up the stairs, getting to see everyone having a great time made me really happy. Kaminari was in a good state too because he seemed to look much better. I'd be ashamed if I forget to mention Mei having her way with the night too. 

"Oi nerd, where's that damn head of yours at?" He dodges my question and speaks his mind ruthlessly. The same pissed off demeanor is written on his face and looks as if it doesn't want to change. I'd like to call it handsome, but that's too weird. Especially for the situation I find myself in.

"Why won't you answer me?" I begin, "you're a mystery to me. You know, there's so much I don't know about you. When I expect that you'll do something a certain way, you do the opposite." He remains quiet which is confusing. His tense gaze unwavers, gathering an air that makes me think he's actually listening to me. At the start of this journey, he was quite reluctant to listen to me right off the bat. Then, this Kacchan before me shifts to get off me, but I reach out to grab his arm. Why? I have no idea as to why. I feel like if I were to let him go, I may never get past this. I may never get to know the real him.

"It's late, Deku. You should get some sleep." Again, he's dodging my most important questions.

"But,-"

"Tomorrow." He cuts me off. Confusion sets in easily. What does tomorrow hold? Any light that is in the room fades away, leaving darkness to remain in its place. He shifts off of me only to rest beside me on the bed. I can't see his face, but J can tell he's facing away from me.

"I don't understand," I whisper. The cool night air finds away to run through the cracks of the window. Many clouds block the moon's light from entering. "Why won't you-"

"Damn it, just go to sleep already. I need to think some things over. Tomorrow you'll get some sort of answer from me. But if you keep muttering over there, I'll kill you." His voice is suddenly rugged and tired. The threat he leaves is not really a threat at this point.

I just stare at the ceiling with thoughts running around in my head. All I have to do is wait? I can manage that. My mind can feel at ease with that.

The morning comes earlier than I would have liked. I have no idea when I passed out staring at the ceiling. A weight straps me down at my side, as I shift to sit up. Barely any sun comes through the window. The sky outside is cloudy. It's a really dark, cloudy sky, which most likely calls for rain. I look over at the person next to me. His arm wraps around, and his face is solemn.

How rare of a sight.

I smile, thankful of seeing him so peaceful, but I do kinda miss that pissed off look of his.

Today is training with Iida. I set that idea in my head. I slip out of bed unnoticed as to not wake up the slumbering beast. I rustle through my bags searching for clothes. It does not take me long to get myself ready to meet him. When I leave the room, I let the door softly click behind me before scampering down the stairs. Leaving the hostel, I find Iida in a knight training yard close to where Jirou usually is stationed. It takes me awhile to get here because so many people thought stop me for help.
