I followed Katsuki as he stomped outside to the courtyard. We were the only two people out there, since everyone else was inside for lunch.
"Where were you today?"
Oh you know, flying around with Hawks after we slept in the same bed together.
"At home. I overslept."
He scoffed. "Sure you did. You heard what happened to Endeavor?"
"Yes... Katsuki, what's wrong?"
"Look, I know better than anyone that things can change in a second. They had us on lock down but I snuck out and you weren't at your apartment... If you don't want to answer your phone when I call then..."
Putting my hand on his arm softly, I said, "Are you trying to tell me that you were worried about me?"
"Whatever, yeah, I guess." He shrugged his shoulders.
"That's sweet but I don't need a body guard."
He looked back toward the lunchroom. "Do you trust that guy?"
"You mean Shinso?"
"Something about him is off."
I stared at him, one eye brow raised. "Why are you so suspicious of everyone? Is there something I need to know?"
He paused, as if he wanted to say something. "When we were at Endeavor's office the other day..." he started.
"What happened?"
"It's not what happened. It's what I heard. I heard some people talking about..."
"You're going to be late!" I heard someone shout from the other side of the courtyard. Iida. Of course.
"Shut up!" Katsuki yelled back.
"What? What did you hear?"
"I'm not sure. Or at least I'm not sure what it meant. But some things aren't adding up. And then Endeavor is attacked? I don't like it."
"You have to tell me more – " I said. I needed to know what he had heard. Was it something to do with the leak? Or with the public safety commission? Or with my interviewers?
"Class is about to start!" we heard Iida yelling again.
"Shut up!" Katsuki and I both shouted back at the same time. Not now, Iida! I was just getting somewhere!
"Something about you..." Katsuki began, standing closer to me. "Something about you.. makes me want to protect you."
I smiled at him. "I'm not a baby bird. I can take care of myself. I've been doing it for a long time."
As I said that, he pulled me in toward him. With one hand he lifted my chin to look at him. Softly, so that I barely heard him, Katsuki said, "Then maybe it's time to let someone else to do it for you."
"I... I..." I struggled to find words as I looked into his eyes.
There was no doubt that we had a physical connection. Thinking back to that night at my apartment, I remembered the firm grip of his hands on my skin. The aggressive kisses. But everything felt so complicated now.
He was so close. I could smell his distinctive scent, salty, spicy.
Suddenly we were both yanked back by Iida's hands.
"What the hell?"
Iida had a strong grip on our shoulders as he started pushing us toward the doors that go back inside. "You are both about to be late, and now I am too. Not only was I trying to round up you two but I also had to convince a general studies student to go to class too."
Wait...
"Iida, which general studies student?"
"I don't know him. Tall guy, purple hair. He was just standing around by the windows."
Damn it. Groaning, I felt my heart sink into my stomach. Had he seen the whole conversation?
I heard Katsuki chuckle.
"Stop it," I whispered to him as we snuck into the classroom.
I tried to replay the conversation in my head, thinking through what it might have looked like to someone else. Of course he had followed us. He hadn't wanted me to go outside with Katsuki in the first place. I needed to talk to Shinso.
I needed to explain.
