“Katsuki! What the hell happened?”
The current number 2 hero stood just outside the doorway of my apartment, hunched over, one hand gripping his side in pain and the other clutching the doorjamb to keep himself upright.
“Oh my god, did you just come from a fight?? Why aren’t you at the hospital??”
I reached for him even as I scolded him with my words, trying to help keep him upright while also ushering him into my apartment but he stopped me, pushing my hand away gently.
“Y/n…..” he said my name so softly, with such vulnerability. His head was tilted towards the floor so I couldn’t see the look on his face, but it almost sounded like he was…crying?
He lifted his head to look at me then, his face now inches from mine due to the way he towered over me. I was right, his crimson eyes shone with unshed tears.
“I haven’t done it yet, I haven’t become the number one hero. But I….I thought for a moment I wasn’t going to make it out….and there’s still so much I need to tell you.”
He was speaking so pleadingly, I wasn’t used to this side of him. Sure he had opened up to me before, but I’d never seen the look in his eyes right now before. Like he was begging.
“Kats, what are you talking about? We need to get you help. You’re still bleeding.” I try to reason with him, but I know it’s useless. Whatever it is he’s trying to say he has decided he wants to say it now. And if there’s one think I know about Bakugou Katsuki, it’s that when he’s decided something he makes it happen.
“Just wait dammit” he grits out between clenched teeth. This is the Katsuki I’m familiar with: all harsh words and biting tone. But it’s a weak attempt.
“I promised myself, that one day, when I was number 1, when I was worthy, I would ask you to be mine. I’m breaking that promise now, because I realize that I was fucking stupid. All this time spent waiting, I should’ve just told you how I felt.” His fist clenches against the doorway in frustration. “I thought, if I proved I was better than that dumbass Izuku that you would choose me. But I don’t want to wait anymore.”
My mind is reeling trying to take in his words as well as the fact that the man I love is bleeding on the carpet of my apartment building. I open my mouth to speak but it takes a moment for my brain to form the words.
“Izuku? What? What do you mean?”
He scoffs then, lowering his head again. “You know that idiot is in love with you right?…..we both are.”
Love. Izuku….and Katsuki….are in love with, me?
“Katsuki, stop messing around…” I say, but I know he’s not.
He lifts his head so he’s eye to eye with me again, it looks like it takes more effort this time which concerns me.
“Dumbass” his eyes are soft as they look into mine. “You didn’t know?”
My eyes are filling with tears and I’m not quite sure why. I think back on everything, all of our interactions.
“You…love me?” I say, needing to hear him say the words outright to be able to believe them. Afterall, this isn’t just my Katsuki, this is the number 2 hero in all of Japan, one of the most popular celebrities in the world for his looks and passion.
“Yes.” He says quietly. “I love you Y/n. I always have.” He looks so resolute as he says it. Still vulnerable and broken, but also determined.
I don’t even think about it before I’m reaching to cup his jaw in my hands and pulling him into me. And then I’m kissing him. He’s kissing me. After all this time, waiting, pining, I am kissing Bakugou Katsuki. And he’s kissing me back with just as much passion and urgency.
I try to pull back after a moment, suddenly remembering the situation we’re in, but his lips chase mine. He steps forward into me and captures me into another kiss. I make a noise of disagreement in the back of my throat and place my hands on his chest to push him back. By that time we’re both breathless.
“Kats, you’re bleeding.” I remind him.
He laughs and cracks a mischievous smile at me “It’s not my blood”
I look at him in blank shock for a moment before wrinkling my nose and pulling away “ew oh my god that’s worse”
His chuckle turns into a full blown cackle at my disgust. I glare at him as he laughs until he winces and grips his side.
“Alright, you might not be bleeding but you still need medical attention” I chastise him, motioning to where his arm was still cradling his abdomen.
“Calm down princess” he says, smirking fondly at me once again. “I already checked in with the EMTs after the fight, just a few bruised ribs. They put me on leave for a week.” His hand comes up to cup my cheek like I had done to him moments ago. “You should see the other guy.”
I roll my eyes at his cocky attitude but I can’t help smiling as well.
“So,” he pulls me in so that our foreheads are resting against each other. “Can I take that as an ‘I love you too’?”
I nod, his ash blond hair tickling the crown of ny head as I do so. “Yes. I love you too Katsuki.”
