Chapter 3

Izuku woke up the next morning, yawning and stretching. He laid in bed for a few minutes, dozing off for a while, his eyes closing naturally. He cuddled into the weighted blanket and grabbed his phone from the bedside table. He scrolled through his morning notifications and two caught his eye. One from Mina and one from Uraraka. He sighed and sat upon his bed, hunched over, staring at his screen. He did not want to open Uraraka's message, his heart still hurting from her cancellation last night. Izuku got up from his bed, ignoring his messages, and started scrolling through his social media, reading the news, new scandals that appeared overnight and the new memes that graced his socials.

Making breakfast, Izuku decided it was time to check his messages. He opened Mina's one first.

Mina

Hey Izu!! Tsu and I are hosting a small party next weekend and were wondering if you wanted to join :)

Izuku grinned, knowing that all Mina's parties were wild and some of his best memories stemmed from there.

Izuku

yes plz !!! super excited hehe

He smiled and turned off his phone, still ignoring Uraraka's text. His toast popped out and he set it on his plate and turned on his kettle to make a cup of tea. He got out the special tea bags Momo had given him for his birthday that was meant to calm you down and set it in his glass, waiting for the water to boil. The kettle began to whistle and he poured some water in the glass and carried his food and drink over to the dining table, sitting cross-legged on the chair. He lifted his knee, his other leg still resting on the chair, and laid his head, hugging his thigh close to him.

Izuku finished his food and picked up his phone and with a deep breath opened Uraraka's message.

Ura <3

hey izuku. we need to talk let me know when you're available.

Izuku's heart dropped and he felt his food rising up his throat. He put his phone down and ran to the bathroom and began to wretch his stomach out. The sound of his gag's filled the toilet, tears running down his face at the same time. He felt a stinging and burning feeling in his throat and walked over to the sink rinsing his mouth out with water. He cupped his hands and collected some water from the tap and began drinking it hoping the vile taste would disappear.

He walked back into his room, his phone in the other room and he continued to bawl. His sob's where heard throughout his apartment. His wail would be followed by a broken breath his face red and his hands in his hair. He could be overreacting, but it was his anxiety that caused him to act like this. Ever since his father and mother had passed away, he had to receive constant validation that someone wasn't mad at him or that they weren't going to leave him. All of his friends, and Uraraka, understood and were willing to drop anything for him because he was willing to drop anything for them.

This panic attack ensued for a few minutes, his chest hurting by the end of it. Izuku's sobs had been reduced to hiccups and he was trembling in his bed. His eyes were stinging and he was now sleepy. He laid in his bed and fell asleep.

Katsuki woke up around his usual time at six in the morning. He got changed into his gym clothes and prepared a light, healthy breakfast and a chilled bottle of water which he placed in his bag. He walked to the gym working out for two hours, his music blasting through his AirPods. He was sore as he walked home, his legs aching slightly. He opened his door and rinsed off, before collapsing on the couch. He began scrolling through his phone and saw a message from his group chat with his friends.

Katsuki Bakugo > Gordon Ramsay
