Heavenly Taste AU
Chapter2~ Confessions
Shouto walked into class with his head down trying not to draw attention to himself. He was bit early thanks to his rush to leave home quickly and found himself with ample time to think a act he was trying to avoid but himself committing it anyway.
What was he going to do!? Bakugou was going to figure it out sooner or later. He might act like but Bakugou wasn't a fool. Were they going to be in a relationship if he found out!? What would everyone say? WHAT WOULD HIS FATHER DO!?
Shouto didn't realise that he was mumbling like Izuku until Tokoyami came and tapped him on his shoulder effectively stirring him from his mumble rant.
"Shouto are you okay? You've been sitting there mumbling since I came in ten minutes ago." He asked with worry in his voice.
Shouto looked up and noticed his worried face He didn't want to attract attention so he tried to diffuse the situation quickly.
"Everything is perfectly fine. No need to worry."
Tokoyami looked like he want to say more but Aizawa-Sensei came through the door and told them to shut up and sit down.
_*Lunch*_
It was lunch and Izuku had asked Shouto to sit with him and their friends. He could feel that Bakugou had a craving for something really hot for lunch. He was trailing behind them yelling something to Kirishima about hero strength. He let out a sigh, how in the world did he get paired with Bakugou of all people.
" and then Lida had pull me out. It was so funn- are listening Shouto? You've been really distracted lately, you answered a question wrong in English that you would usually find easy. Is something going on?"
Leave it to Izuku to figure out that something was up. He had to tell him, sooner or later he would find out and if he didn't tell someone soon he'd go mad.
Shouto glanced around and spotted what seemed to be an empty classroom. He pulled Izuku aside and into the room, all the while double-checking to make sure it was really empty.
Izuku was more than confused.
"Shouto what's going on? Aren't we going to lunch?"
Shouto sat him on a desk and stood opposite slowly pacing as he spoke.
"I have something to tell you and you have to promise not tell anyone." Izuku nodded "I know who my soulmate is."
Izuku's eyes lit up.
"This is amazing! I can't believe it. But I have to since you just told me. This is fantastic Shouto, no one ever finds out in their teens! You'll be able to live your life together, have adventures, grow old. I'm so happy for you!" He rushed out.
Shouto took an involuntary step back.
He didn't know that Izuku was hopeless romantic. A Hero nerd, yes. A A-level student, yeah. A gym rat, maybe. He has no idea Izuku was a romantic.
"It's not that great. My mate is Katsuki." He said head down.
The light in Izuku's eyes dimmed as he quickly caught on to the downcast attitude.
"It's not that bad. Kacchan can be hot headed and a bit of a idiot but he's not bad."
He wasn't getting it.
"It's not just that. What would my father think he wants my to 'pass on the power', 'continue the legacy'. He would hate me for this I might get rejected. That's to say that he even accepts me as his mate." It all came tumbling out and by the time he finished hot, big, tears rolled out of his eyes and dripped down his face.
Izuku was at a loss of what to do to comfort him and dip I'd the only thing that made sense. He squeezed Shouto into the biggest hug he'd ever given in his life. Shouto stiffened on instinct un-used-to and unprepared for the sudden contact but soon melted and hugged back just as tight.
They stayed like that for a good while before separating. Shouto spoke first.
"I didn't know how much I needed a h-hug, haven't had one since I was younger."
Izuku smiled
"I'm glad I could help. Let's go to lunch. You can talk to me about it later. Okay?" Shouto nodded " Good now straighten yourself out. We have to act like nothing happened. For now."
They walked out together both feeling a lot better.
