[Drowned! Deku AU]
Pt. 2/?
It had been a week since the incident, a week since he last saw Deku. People passed by him with strange looks. He knew he looked like shit, but he just needed to figure out a way to apologize to Deku. Midnight struck and he found himself in a candle lit commons. He sits in a feral position, tucked in the corner of the couch. "Deku," he rasps out quietly. "I know you're there. Please, I need to talk to you." Tears come rushing to his eyes and he battles to keep them at bay.
The couch makes a soft noise and there's a soft snort, "I thought you were going to ignore me for the rest of your life." Katsuki's head whips up and by gods there he is, sitting in the second corner as if he was still alive. Droplets of water dropped onto the cushions but never stained. "It seemed like you were just going to continue to annoy me, seems I just had to spook you a little." A soft, guilty smile makes those old crows feet appear by Deku's eyes. Katsuki huffs, "a douchebag move, but it was definitely effective." Deku giggled at that, a ghostly pruny hand coming up to cover his mouth.
"Mean as ever I see, I'm proud of you for striving in life." Deku's gaze becomes strained with emotion. Katsuki let's his fingers run anxiously through his hair. "I see you've been stalking me this entire time, just like the old creep you were, Deku," Katsuki's lips upturn in a smirk. Deku scrunches his nose, "hero analysis, actually. But that's aside the point, you've called out to me for a reason tonight. You want something." Katsuki gulps, finally locking eyes with the familiar spirit.
