He's bad with feelings as it is, but that little child harboring feelings for him? THOSE kinds of feelings? It was wrong... and yet... ***EVENTUAL NSFW ***SHOTA!deku x TEEN!bkg Tags will be added as the story progresses. Rated Explicit because this IS a shota fic. Notes yes yes i know i'm so problematic. i'm sorry, but i'm not. y'all can call me out or leave hate, it's chill, i'll probably just tweet about it and/or delete your comments. anyhow, um... i haven't decided if i want this to progress into a multi-chaptered fic, because i very much like the idea of it turning into teen!Deku pining after adult!Bkg, but i also really love the shota aspect of it. i originally wanted to just do a one-shot but the words came out like this, and it read really good, so i didn't want to scrap it for something quick and easy. besides, i've never actually written shotafic before, and i'm not sure how i'd want to write a one-shot nsfw shota without it being Just Kinky Stuff, so this is what i've got for now. i've already explained i need mah boys to be In Love in longer fics, fml. enjoy! ♥ ***** First Kiss ***** That stupid fucking kid was following him around again. They were neighbors. Katsuki had been sort-of babysitting Izuku ever since he was an infant. It was the only way to get out of the house as a nine-year-old when his mother wouldn’t stop nagging him to take responsibility and do his chores, or homework, or whatever else she bothered him to do. It was easy to lie and say he was going to help Auntie Inko with her new baby, and admittedly, he’d been cute at the time but that was when he couldn’t talk. As he grew older he grew dumber and started to annoy the shit out of Katsuki, what with his creepy All Might obsession and overly cheerful personality. Auntie Inko was a cheerful woman, too, but the birth of her son had magnified the trait by a thousand. Every time Katsuki stopped by to say hello – not to babysit, he insisted – the kid would run to him and jump up in his arms, and of course he had to catch him otherwise Auntie would be upset. He could care less honestly, and on some occasions, when Auntie wasn’t looking or had just left, he’d let the kid slip from his grip and fall on his butt. Katsuki never felt bad. …Well, that’s what he told himself. Izuku’s tears were big and his sniffling made something in Katsuki’s chest get all tight and achy, and he knew Izuku was one for extreme waterworks; so Katsuki would quickly pick him back up and mumble an apology. He’d rub Izuku’s back and ask him if he was okay, let the useless little boy cling to him and tell him things in that baby garble that only parents could understand. He would nod along regardless as if he could understand Izuku’s mumbling – a quirk that never went away itself, as Kastuki learned once the boy could speak clearer Japanese. Within seconds Izuku would return to his normal self, keeping his stubby arms wrapped around Katsuki’s neck. Cuddling was his favorite thing to do and the only way to get him down for naptime back in those days. Katsuki stopped walking. The kid bumped into his sagging pants with a childish “Oof!” and fell backward on his butt, but he didn’t cry. He giggled like any child would over a harmless fall. “Kacchan!” he said happily. “Can you come over and play with me today?” “No, you useless fucking brat,” he growled beneath his breath. “Ooh! You said a bad word!” “Shut up, Deku!” “Hey, I’m not useless!” Izuku crossed his little arms. Katsuki turned around to find the most adorable little pout on his lips and was tempted to squish those cheeks together—scratch that, he decided to do it anyway, smirking at the surprised yelp that came from Izuku’s mouth. “Look here, you little brat,” he began, “You know what U.A. is, don’t you?” “Hee-wo Aca-mmy!” he said with those stupid little fish lips. “That’s right, and I got accepted there. I’m training to become a hero and I can’t do that with you following me around like a damn puppy dog—shut up! I can say what I want!” Katsuki straightened his back and cleared his throat. “I’m gonna be late for class, nerd. Go back home. I’ll stop by today.” “Yay, Kacchan’s coming over!” “And don’t you dare tell Auntie about the bad words.” Izuku smiled mischievously. “Only if you promise to come over! Don’t forget like last time.” God fucking dammit, Katsuki thought, there he goes with that damned sad frown. Katsuki took a deep breath and calmly exhaled through his mouth. “Fine,” he said. “I promise.” “Pinky promise!” “Ugh! You useless brat, you’re gonna make me miss my train!”   Katsuki didn’t want to fulfill his promise, but he recalled the many times he ditched playdates with Izuku to hang out with his friends or play video games at home alone and cringed. The boy knew how to throw a tantrum and when Auntie Inko told his mother about it, she gave him a fucking earful, too. “He just adores you so much, Katsuki!” Auntie would gush, and when she said it, he started to feel bad. His mother would eventually make him go next door to apologize and make up the playdate with Izuku before she let him back in the house. Begrudgingly, he knocked on the door. He was all beat up from battle training, but tried to clean up the scrapes and bruises on his face to prevent Auntie from worrying. “Kacchan! Kacchan!” Of course the child’s muffled voice could be heard along with his padding footsteps. Auntie opened the door with a smile, welcoming Katsuki in. “Katsuki, do you mind putting Izuku to bed?” Auntie Inko asked. She yawned real big before continuing. “I’ve been doing overtime all week and I’m fairly exhausted myself. I can compensate you, of course!” “No need, Auntie, I’ll put him to bed. Eight o’clock, right?” “Oh, Katsuki, you’re so wonderful! Thank you. Goodnight, you two! Izuku, behave for Katsuki.” Izuku hugged Katsuki’s leg tighter with his arms, not listening to a word she said. Katsuki rolled his eyes, ruffling fluffy green curls as he said, “C’mon, nerd, let’s go watch TV or something.”   They were halfway through some climactic episode of one of Izuku’s favorite superhero shows when the brat climbed up on his chest, squished Katsuki’s cheeks together, and kissed him. Right there. Smack dab on the lips. Katsuki pulled away, horrified, nearly knocking Izuku down as he sat up. “Deku, what the fuck!” he whisper-shouted. “Bad word!” Izuku said. Katsuki put his hand over Izuku’s mouth and leaned forward again. “What the—what are you doing, you goddamn nerd?! Don’t do that!” Why not? The child’s words were muffled but Katsuki knew what he was asking. “Because it’s wrong. Don’t do things like that, Izuku,” he said, removing his hand from Izuku’s mouth. His cheeks hurt because for some godawful reason he was blushing about a fucking kid kissing him on the lips. It wasn’t a real kiss, sure, but it was fucking weird and Katsuki wished that stupid kid had never done it. “Where did you even learn that, you weirdo?” “Mama and papa do it,” he said. Izuku did not struggle when Katsuki pushed his head down against his chest and began stroking his hair to soothe him. “And I saw it on TV…” “That doesn’t mean you should do it,” Katsuki scolded. “But I really love Kacchan and that’s what you do when you love someone, right?” Katsuki could hardly hold that fierce look in Izuku’s big green eyes. He sighed, wondering how best to explain this to the fucking brat without making him cry. “It’s what adults do when they love each other,” he said. The wording felt oddly unnatural, but he didn’t feel like thinking any more about it. He wanted the conversation to end, despite knowing that Izuku didn’t really understand what he had done, or what being an adult meant necessarily, or love. Or anything. He was a kid, it was natural for him to be curious like that. It had been nothing but an innocent little kiss, yet Katsuki couldn’t get the feeling to go away. “So I can do that when I’m a grown-up?” Izuku asked. His naïveté physically hurt Katsuki. Right in the fucking gut. “Yeah, I guess,” Katsuki said. “But I love Kacchan now and I wanna. Please, Kacchan? Please?” Izuku prolonged the vowels in his final plea until Katsuki had to cover his mouth again to keep him from waking his mother up. This kid, this fucking kid. “Okay, fine. But onlyonce. It’s really not okay to do that, do you understand, Izuku?” “Yeah…” “Then do as I say.” “Okay.” Izuku smiled all big like he did whenever Katsuki took him to the ice cream shop. His clammy little hands clapped over Katsuki’s cheeks, squishing them tightly together so his lips puckered. Izuku giggled, tilting his head this way and that as he examined Katsuki like one of his finely-crafted, Play-Doh All Might sculptures. “Kiss!” he said, imitating none other than Recovery Girl as he leaned in close and kissed Katsuki’s lips. When he pulled away, his cheeks were a rosy red and his green eyes shone brightly. His childish gaze fell shyly as he leaned forward against Katsuki’s chest, overcome with another fit of quiet but happy giggles. Katsuki felt wrong. He held the boy closer and shoved his nose between Izuku’s shoulder and neck and inhaled, smelling the sweetness of his shampoo and a hint of dirt from when he probably went to the park earlier that day. “Time for bed, Deku,” he whispered hoarsely. Cottonmouth. Izuku slid off his lap, grabbed his hand and led Katsuki upstairs with a little skip in his steps. Katsuki mentally kicked himself after putting the brat to bed and locking the door to Auntie Inko’s place. What the fuck just happened? ***** Don't Come Close ***** Chapter Summary Katsuki successfully avoids Izuku! But only for a week, and of course, his mother forces him to babysit for Inko when she has to take a late night shift at the end of the week. Damn. Chapter Notes hnnngdhkjgahkahtja i love writing this fic you guys. even tho it gonna get to the nasties eventually, like... in general, sans the nasty, i really enjoy writing little oblivious deku because his love and adoration for teenaged shithole kacchan is fucking precious. i like it vice versa, too. deku would be so in love with little kacchan and mostly little kacchan would adore him too, but ofc like, hella tsundere about it lbr. ANYWAY I'M RAMBLING - i wanted to make an outline for this fic so i know how best to pace it, but i also just wanted to get an update out so i wrote this chapter on a whim. i'll try to outline future chapters but for now i'm gonna go with the floooow, and i think the teasing in this chapter is just enough, no? i'm trying NOT to move it too quickly, but i don't want it to move too slowly either and bore you all. so. enjoy the good badness of this. ;) Katsuki was quite proud of himself for managing to avoid the kid for a full week – no complaints, no complications, no bitching from his mother. But then came the fateful day of Friday afternoon, the end of a week of getting his ass handed to him and having to deal with his annoying, shit-hole classmates—the cursed day in which Auntie Inko came politely knocking on the Bakugou’s door to ask: “Can Katsuki watch Izuku for me tonight? Something came up and I have to cover a late shift.” “He’d love to! I’ll send him right over.” He had only walked through the door five minutes earlier. He waited until Auntie Inko’s footsteps faded to shout, “What the fuck, old hag?! You didn’t even ask me!” “Because you’ve been avoiding that sweet little boy, so yes, you’re going to babysit him tonight.” Mitsuki pinched his lips before he had a chance to say anything, but he didn’t need to—his wide eyes said it all. “You’re easy to read, brat. Now go clean up before you head over.”   Katsuki tried to pick out the most intimidating outfit he owned, but most of his clothing was plain. He ended up wearing a loose pair of sweats and a t- shirt with a skull on it, or what his mother called a lazy, half-assed attempt at getting dressed. “It’s fuckin’ late already, so what if I want to be comfortable,” he grumbled. She scolded him some more for not drying his hair but he’d stopped listening as soon as he stepped outside. The cool evening breeze made hairs on his neck stand up. Katsuki shivered, hoping that Izuku wouldn’t be all over him like he was last time. He pushed the memory out of his head, reminding himself of the precautions he took, weird as they fucking were. He barely rinsed off in the shower to keep the musky stench of sweat on him and left his hair wet so it’d be dripping and cold – all of this to prevent Izuku from wrapping those little arms around his neck and nuzzling him like a favorite stuffed animal. “Fuck,” he whispered, finding himself in front of the Midoriya’s home. Auntie answered his knock immediately. “Katsuki! Please come in. You’re right on time, I was just heading out. Izuku is upstairs watching that same old video. Let me say goodbye and then he’s all yours!” Katsuki swallowed thickly at her wording, but nodded. He’s all yours! He cursed under his breath and closed his eyes, digging the heels of his palms into them to force those thoughts away. “Kacchan’s here?!” Fuck, he could hear that brat’s excited voice from all the way up there. Soon Izuku came barreling down the stairs ahead of a disapproving Auntie Inko, slamming into Katsuki’s knees with a tight hug. “Hey, kiddo,” he mumbled, ruffling Izuku’s hair. He kind of did miss the kid. “What did we say about running down the stairs, Izuku?” Auntie scolded. “Ah, well, he missed you. I suppose I can’t stay mad at him for long. Be good for Katsuki, okay?” “Okay!” he said cheerfully. “Bye mama!” Auntie bent down to kiss his cheek, thanked Katsuki again, and left. “Kacchan, why didn’t you come play with me this week?” Izuku asked, staring up at him with big green eyes and an adorable pout. Fuck. Kid got right down to it, didn’t he. “I was busy with hero training, nerd,” Katsuki said. “Or have you forgotten?” “Uh-uh!! Kacchan is gonna be the number one hero after All Might! Hehe.” Izuku made grabby hands at him. Katsuki’s body moved of its own will, ignoring the pestering voice telling him no, stop, avoid physical contact,and picked him up. It was here he found out that both attempts at making himself un-cuddlable were in vain. He didn’t smell bad enough for Izuku to pull away, neither was he bothered by Katsuki’s wet hair. Izuku’s chubby little arms wound around his neck and a sweet little sigh passed those puffy pink lips of his, and the cold tip of a round nose pressed against his cheek. Katsuki’s face turned red when he realized Izuku was giving him a kiss. “Deku, stop,” he said, forcing his legs to move toward the living room. He was babysitting. They were going to find a game to play or something to watch, and he would ignore all the complicated things in his head. “What did we talk about last time?” “But mama kisses me on the cheek,” Izuku argued. Damn kid, curse him for being so fucking perceptive at such a young age. “I just missed Kacchan so~ much!” Katsuki’s heart squeezed with guilt. He sat down on the couch, leaning back after he grabbed the remote. Izuku climbed on top of him from his side and patted his little hands on Katsuki’s pecs. “Kacchan! Kacchan! Kacchan!” he sang, curling his fingers into fists as he pounded on Katsuki’s chest. Katsuki rolled his eyes and quickly—but carefully—flipped them over, hovering with a sharp glint in his gaze. “Deku,” he growled. “You know better than to fight the soon-to-be number one hero, don’t you?” “Waah! No, Kacchan—” Katsuki’s fingers tickled mercilessly, starting with Izuku’s sides—the most sensitive area—then moving in to tickle his belly and hips. Izuku giggled and squealed like a little piglet, his cheeks puffy and red from laughter and green eyes sparkling with tears. When Katsuki decided he’d been punished enough, he sat back on his heels to observe his handiwork. …Which was a really bad idea. Izuku’s shirt was pushed up just enough to give a peek of his soft belly that Katsuki desperately wanted to touch; such smooth skin, silky and unmarred by fighting. Innocent. Sweet. “Shit,” Katsuki cursed, dragging his hands down his face. “Don’t say bad words, Kacchan!” Izuku scolded. He sat up on his bum and leaned forward, blowing a raspberry on Katsuki’s stomach through the fabric of his shirt. Katsuki blushed and pushed back, but nothing stopped Izuku’s advances. Katsuki’s palm outstretched to hold him at bay by hisface, desperate not to have him come closer. He couldn’t process what he was feeling or why and Katsuki fucking hated when his brain was this muddled, this clouded with the unknown. “Izuku, please. Stop.” He must’ve had a crazy look in his eyes, or maybe it’s because he used Izuku’s real name, but Izuku nodded and sat back down with his legs dangling off the couch. His thin little brows knitted together as he stared at the floor, sniffling. “I’m sorry, Kacchan,” he mumbled. “Do you hate me?” Katsuki’s entire heart sunk to the pit of his stomach—no, it fell straight out of him onto the floor. None of this was fair to Izuku. He was an affectionate child who adored his older kid neighbor, and he liked to show it. That’s what kids did when they felt connected to someone. He had no idea what it was doing to Katsuki. “No, Izuku, I don’t hate you,” Katsuki said. He got off the couch to kneel in front of Izuku. “Hey, look at me, kiddo.” Izuku reluctantly looked up, blinking back tears that still fell from the corners of his shimmering eyes. “Listen to me—it’s just some things, and, uh… Agh, I can’t fucking do this. No, shush, don’t tell your mom I cursed, okay? It’s… that… hero training is hard, you know that, don’t you, Izuku?” He nodded. “I was real tired and beat up from this week. I missed you too—shut up, nerd, don’t you dare tell anyone I said that—” Izuku smiled and Katsuki’s heart returned to his chest, beating violently. “Anyway. Let’s just relax and watch a movie or something, ok? Ok, Deku?” Katsuki expelled a huge sigh of relief at Izuku’s nod. He sort of hated himself, partially for the lie about hero training but mostly because he’d been so vulnerable, so open and gentle with the kid. It was very unlike his personality. But he’d known Izuku for the child’s entire life and he knew what he responded best to; sometimes Katsuki had to be firm with him, but tonight was not one of those nights. They chose another stupid All Might movie to watch, of course, this was Izuku he was babysitting. By the time the film finished, Izuku was curled up against his side, fast asleep. Katsuki found his hand rubbing up and down the boy’s back, slowly trailing his fingers up Izuku’s neck to tangle in those messy green curls. He combed through the boy’s hair, inhaled its sweet fruity scent, and cursed himself. He knew that these feelings were wrong. But Katsuki kept himself together. Swallowed it all down like a nasty pill to keep him sane and out of jail. “Goodnight, Izuku,” he whispered, kissing the little boy’s forehead. The credits played through until the screen went black. Physical exhaustion forced Katsuki’s body to succumb to sleep, and he was never more grateful. ***** First Mistake ***** Chapter Summary Katsuki wakes up at Auntie Inko's house, on her couch, with Izuku sleeping on his chest. He's got a bit of a morning problem and, well... Chapter Notes mmmm this chap is short but i wanted to give y'all some good nasties and more kacchan dilemma. enjoy Katsuki woke up looking at a ceiling that did not belong to his room. He almost jolted forward because he was so fucking confused, but the heavy weight on his chest prevented him from doing so. He was not as confused to find Izuku sleeping peacefully on top of him, his little back rising and falling with every deep breath; Katsuki didn’t remember putting a blanket over them, though. He guessed Auntie found them asleep when she got home and took it upon herself to see that they were warm. He shifted slightly. Katsuki wanted to slide out from beneath the goddamn brat and hightail it outta there before his brain started working, but Izuku’s gentle sigh froze his entire body. He looked around the couch, spotting his phone on the floor. He slowly reached for it, turning it screen-side up to check the time. Four fifty-three. Too early, but he was wide awake. And he had a problem, one that he was quite familiar with and yet one he could not act on. He struggled to swallow; he needed water. No, he needed to get the fuck out of there. Katsuki tried to calm down and weighed his options: chance waking up Izuku so he could fucking leave and not do what morning wood wanted him to do, or suck it up and stay put – without touching himself – until Auntie got up and took Izuku from him. His balls might hurt for fucking ever, but the latter seemed to be a better option. Katsuki knew deep down that that was not the case. No matter how jumbled his brain was, how confused and disgusted he was with himself, his body knew what it wanted. “What the actual fuck,” he whispered. He coughed to let out a breath he was holding. Katsuki’s heart was beating a mile a minute as he very carefully tilted his torso, all the while keeping his arm around Izuku’s warm back to distract him from the movement. Izuku babbled something incoherent and gripped tighter onto his shirt. Katsuki closed his eyes, counted to three. Tried again. He was nearly all the way on his side when Izuku’s body slid onto the couch, but he wouldn’t let up – snuggled closer to Katsuki, even as the older boy sat up. Izuku extended one of his legs, unknowingly brushing his knee over Katsuki’s half-hard dick. “Hah—” Katsuki bit down hard on his lip. Closed his eyes again, did the whole spiel but he counted to ten this time. It didn’t go away. Izuku kept shifting his body this way and that, suddenly uncomfortable and constantly rubbing against Katsuki’s cock that was now completely erect and throbbing in his sweats. “Fucking Deku,” he growled into the crook of his arm. “D-dammit…” God did he want to rub his gross fucking dick all over Izuku’s smooth thighs. Fuck between them like the pervert he was becoming. All those thoughts came rushing at him from nowhere; any shred of sanity left within him was completely lost to the simple pleasure of touch. Katsuki’s lip quivered. He pretended not to think about it as his hand moved down his chest, shoving his shirt up and sweats down. His cock sprang free, overheating beneath the blanket. He scooted his ass as far away from Izuku as he could without falling off the edge of the couch and grabbed the base of his length. His chest convulsed as he forced down any sounds that threatened to spill from his lips, hurriedly pumping his cock to get it over with. He closed his eyes; Katsuki didn’t want to look at the child he was fantasizing about. He obliterated Izuku’s face from his memory, or tried to. Allowed himself only to think about a smooth stomach—any smooth stomach, not Deku’s, not Deku’s—and smooth thighs; small, smooth, thin thighs that he had to press tight on either side of his cock as he fucked between them. He didn’t even catch himself sighing Izuku’s name until a loud yawn made him halt all movement. Then he heard Izuku’s sleepy voice. “Kacchan?” Katsuki cursed through clenched teeth and covered the head of his cock, body shaking through the orgasm that snuck up on him. Before cum could dribble on any part of Izuku or Auntie Inko’s couch and blanket, he shoved his dick back in his boxers and pulled up his sweats. “Sorry, Izuku, I gotta go. Morning run for training,” he mumbled, rolling off the couch. “Uh, I’ll lock the door behind me. See ya.” He ignored Izuku calling after him, followed by tell-tale sniffling and the beginnings of a sob. Katsuki’s vision narrowed until he found himself at his own front door. He dropped his keys four times before his hands were steady enough to turn the lock, and once he got inside he ran up to his room and locked himself in it. Paced back and forth. Crusty cum-dried hands tugged at his hair. His brain was as tainted as tar and he couldn’t figure out why – wanted to know why,why did Izuku make him feel those dirty things? Think those awful thoughts? Katsuki held down bile that threatened to expel from his stomach. He coughed instead, gagging. It tasted sour. He heard footsteps and immediately told his mother to fuck off when she came to investigate the ruckus. “Bad food,” he half-shouted. “Yesterday.” Of course she hesitated to leave, but when she did he rushed to the bathroom and retched. “Useless fucking nerd,” he rasped. How could he rationalize his actions? “I’m… a teenager,” he said quietly, the wheels finally turning. “Teenager. Hormones. That must be it.” Katsuki looked at himself in the mirror, pale-faced as if he’d seen a ghost. His eyes were watering and his lips were dry and cracked. He swallowed another lump in his throat. “You’re not attracted to fucking seven-year-old Deku. You’re just horny because you’re supposed to be. ‘Cause you’re fifteen. Fifteen.” ***** Step One: Denial ***** Chapter Summary Katsuki has a dream about Izuku. (He doesn't want to talk about it.) Chapter Notes late update kinna, i'm sorry. y'know. real life stuff! i might be getting a second job soon so i may not be able to update as regularly. we'll see! thank you so much again for all of your lovely comments, seriously, you guys make my day. i get so happy when i see new comments on EVERY update????? thank you guys. seriously ;; from the bottom of my heart (super ugly cries) y'all too kind with ur words,,, i'm not even... y'all don't even KNOW, i tweeted about this LMAO thank you for your support!! pls enjoy this chapter!! See the end of the chapter for more notes Izuku was crying on the floor. He had run his knee into the corner of the coffee table; a purple bruise already began to color the affected area. “Shh.” Katsuki first knew that he was not in control of his body. He stepped forward, feeling something warm bubble up in his belly at the sight of Izuku’s tears. He licked his lips as he picked up the crying child. “It’s okay, Deku,” he said. He knew damn well what that feeling was now, acutely aware of his twitching cock. “’Cause I’m here.” Even though his All Might reference got a smile out of Izuku, the tears kept coming, and Katsuki drank it all up. Adored the shine in Izuku’s eyes and the sniffles and how his little lips kept trembling in a tight pout. Katsuki hummed low in his throat and licked the salty liquid from Izuku’s cheeks, groaning— Katsuki woke up sweating, eyes wide as he stared at the ceiling. The weekend had long since passed. It was Thursday. Morning, maybe? For the rest of the weekend, he had miraculously dodged his mother enough that she didn’t have a chance to bring up his babysitting gig. He listened in when Auntie called on Saturday afternoon to thank her for his duties; she had also mentioned Izuku’s distress at Katsuki’s departure, and Katsuki’s mother had too sharp an eye notto notice her son’s even-more-bitchy-than-normal attitude. Still, he kept himself out of the house until curfew on Sunday night just to avoid her pestering. Besides, he knew she wouldn’t kick him out on a school night and fortunately, Katsuki had been so distracted with avoiding his mother that his mind hadn’t once wandered back to what he’d done in Auntie Inko’s house, on her couch, while thinking of Izuku. Until this fine Thursday morning. “Fuck!” he grumbled, throwing the sheets off him. Sure enough, his erection was standing proud to fuck him over. He checked the clock – fifteen minutes ‘til his alarm went off. Katsuki took a deep breath, then headed to the shower.   He kept his eyes closed, relying only on touch. The dream kept flashing through his mind—Izuku’s tears, his own harsh voice whispering, “Shh, Deku, I’m here, it’s okay.” He remembered how those big drops of tears tasted: salty, warm. Refreshing. Katsuki hissed, thumbing the head of his cock. Saturday morning came flooding back into his senses; it was too hot under the blankets and Deku was clinging to him, squirming, brushing his stupid soft knees against Katsuki’s dick. He bit his knuckles to keep from moaning. Remembered what he thought about on Saturday as he fucked his hand thinking of his kid neighbor; how soft Izuku’s little thighs were and how good they’d feel around his cock, how sugary and lilted Izuku’s voice was. Katsuki shuddered, stroking faster. Thought about how Izuku woke up and said his nickname so curiously, so sweet. He came hard against the tiled wall, biting his hand hard enough that he drew blood. Katsuki’s breath came in shallow, uneven puffs. He sighed after a moment, finally opening his eyes to assess the damage he’d done to himself. Katsuki washed off hurriedly and left for UA without breakfast.   He didn’t wait up for Eijirou at lunch like he usually did. Katsuki waved him off when he shouted after him, making sure he turned a corner before shitty- hair could catch up. He got lunch by himself and went outside rather than staying in the cafeteria—he needed space and fresh air. He didn’t go far, though; found a nice empty spot at the back of the building where he sat against the brick wall and scarfed down his food. Katsuki made a note to never skip breakfast again, no matter how conflicted his life may be. “Yo!” “What the fuck,” Katsuki mumbled. “How’d you even find me.” “You know that everyone can hear when you stomp, right? Hell, I bet people hear you stompin’ all the way across campu—” “I fuckin’ get it, now what do you want?” Eijirou shrugged. He sat down next to Katsuki and pulled his knees close to his chest, contemplating the sky as he worded whatever he was going to say in his head. “Well,” he began, and already Katsuki wished he could just blow shitty- hair’s face off and get outta there. “You seem off today. Like, you seem way less tense but also super wound up, if that makes sense?” “It doesn’t.” “Bakugou, c’mon man. I’m your friend and it’s pretty easy to tell when something’s different with you.” “Fuck’s sake,” Katsuki cursed. He set down his lunch none-too-gently and turned, face burning, toward Eijirou. “I don’t want to talk about it. Got that?” Eijirou held his hands up in defeat, smiling nervously. “Alright, alright, gotcha. But I’m here, ‘kay?” “You wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing.” Katsuki didn’t wait for a reply before he stood abruptly and skulked off. He didn’t need this. Didn’t want to think about it much less talk about it—nope, he totally wasn’t fantasizing and jerking off to his little kid neighbor. He was just a horny teenager and apparently liked soft skin. “Fuck!” he screamed. It was nothing out of the ordinary to anyone but Kirishima Eijirou. Chapter End Notes more struggling katsuki, mmm, 'tis my life force. i'm sorry izuku didn't make an appearance but he will in the next chapter! ;) Please drop_by_the_archive_and_comment to let the author know if you enjoyed their work!
