Failure {(grown up) Katsuki X Reader}

7

"Christ how long does it take you to get dressed?" You called down the hall to Katsuki who at the moment was taking his sweet time putting on his suit. Though as soon as he walks from the room you see why.

"How old are you and you still can't tie a tie." You took the tie in your hands easily tying it. Katsuki glared down at you but you could see the glimmer of amusement in his eyes.

"You'd better be ready yourself the way you were yelling at me." He steps back crossing his arms looking you up and down.

"I am ready but, I feel like I'm under dressed. I mean this a a gala for heavens sake." You pull at the delicate fabric that lay over your hips. Katsuki moves forward snaking an arm under yours pulling into him. He leans down to you his mouth level with your ear.

"I think you look perfect." He chuckles and then continues. "But you'd look a hell of a lot better with it off." Heat flushed your cheeks instantly.

"Kat!" You exclaim smacking his chest playfully. He chuckles pulling you in for a small kiss then backs away checking his watch.

"We should get going. Thanks to you we're going to be late." He smirks at you and quickly moves before you can hit him again.

As you exited the car flashing lights instantly filled your vision. Photographers were taking pictures at every angle not missing a thing.

"I don't know if I'll ever get used to this." You spoke trying not to be blinded by the flashing lights. You clung onto katsukis arm walking down the carpet laid out for the celebrities and pro hero's.

"I know it's a lot. I have cameras in my face all day but I'm still not used to it." A sudden surge of jealousy shot through you. You pushed it away quickly reminding yourself he wasn't the reason your career was a flop. You needed to support him.

"Oh, Dynamite over here! Plus ultra magazine would like to ask you a few questions." A reporter called from her spot behind the ropes. She had gotten Katsukis attention and any moment to glorify himself he took.

"What would you like to ask?" He spoke politely to the woman who was bouncing in her heals.

"What's it like being so young and being the number two hero!?" She held out her recorder to him awaiting a reply.

"Well it's honestly a lot. Theres a lot of work that comes with being to popular. Interviews, photo shoots, while balancing all that and being a hero." He spoke easily knowing every word out of his mouth was the truth. The reporter was about to ask a new question but katsuki spoke first. "But I couldn't do it without this amazing woman." Heat flushed your cheeks as the reporter turned to you. You smiled but her expression remained blank as if she were trying to recognize you. Katsuki began to speak again so the reporter went back to him. "There are some days as a hero that things don't end up the way you want them to. There are days I come home knowing that even though I did everything I could, I still feel like I could do better. If it weren't for Y/n I'dev quit this job a long time ago." Love swelled in your heart at his words. You were never even mentioned but he still felt the need to praise you for things you did because you loved him. He takes his arm from yours wrapping it around your waist pulling you into his side.

"Of course." The reporter spoke almost dismissively. She quickly went onto the next question which Katsuki answered. Though you couldn't get how easily she had dismissed you out of your mind. Katsuki had made point of mentioning you but she had ignored it all.

Soon the gala was over and you were at home. You sat in a large t shirt having changed out of your dress. As you were scrolling through social media on your phone an article caught your attention.

"Gala interview with Dynamite the number two hero."

Curiously you clicked it. At first you just skimmed the writing until you read one of the questions. It was the same one that the reporter had ask Katsuki just hours ago. You read it and noticed it had left out quite a lot of what was actually said. The first bit was there but passed that you were never mentioned. Beside a small "I think we can all feel quite jealous of this young woman accompanying our great hero."

"Young woman? Young woman?!" Your hand gripped your phone causing your knuckles to turn white.

"Everything ok in here?" Katsuki asks coming into the living room. You toss your phone on the coffee table.

"Oh nothing just being overshadowed by you, again." You speak the last part to yourself. Jealousy once again made itself know. In your moment of anger you didn't think before speaking.

"Whoa, where's this coming from?" You can see he wants to snap but keeps his cool.

"Just that stupid reporter from earlier." You stare at the tv trying to forget the annoyance rising. Katsukis face easily shows he not interested in trying to figure out who the hell your talking about.

You stand from the couch heading for the hall. "It doesn't matter I'm heading to bed." You go to walk passed Katsuki but he stops you grabbing your arm.

"No we need to talk about this. If you were only annoyed by some reporter you wouldn't take it out on me. I want to know where that comment came from. If I did something to hurt you or make you mad I want to know." Suddenly a massive wave of anger and annoyance built up, and overflowed.

"I'm tired of being in your shadow all the time!" You snapped and Katsuki stood frozen a moment in shock. "Since day one I've been overshadowed by you. You were always at the top but I stayed by you because I love you. But I'm tired of it!"

"That's not my fault! People choose to see what they want I don't dictate that!" Katsukis anger you could see was rising quickly.

"That doesn't change the fact that You've held me back!" You ripped your arm from his hand backing away from him.

"I've never held you back! You never tried to do anything on your own! I never begged you to follow me blindly!"
