Act 26: Confession
"I like you, Kacchan"
He almost collapsed from his orbit upon hearing Deku's confession, piercing his ears, like a strong blizzard.
He didn't believe him at first, but he repeated it to him, increasing the intensity of his voice, the certainty could exercise.
"There's no question about it." He took a deep breath. "I like you, Kacchan"
His arms imprisoned him so much that he felt himself burst, he held him so tightly that it seemed like the last time they would be like this.
Suddenly, an enormous desire to cry seized him, but he couldn't believe it. What he dreamed of so much became reality.
"It can't be" He said surprised. "Ah, it can't be!" He screamed, emitting an explosion from his palm, sending Deku a few meters away.
"Oh..." He muttered, having fallen sitting with a puzzled face.
"Don't lie to me, Deku" He pointed at him, feeling himself blush red.
"I like you" He mentioned firmly. "That's the truth"
What Katsuki hadn't noticed was the huge blush that inhabited the nerd's face, and he noticed it only when he sent him to fly with his explosion, that he approached to watch him cautiously and could see the blush.
He caught a glimpse of the red tint on his cheeks, combined with his deep-set green eyes, emitting scorching heat.
However, Katsuki wouldn't yield so easily.
The concern of knowing what had happened to Deku in the past two weeks remained a mystery.
"Where the hell were you !" He stepped on the sidewalk. "Why did you disappear without saying anything?! Are you so selfish, damn Deku?"
"It's... it's a long story" Deku replied sadly.
"Explain everything to me" He demanded, crumbling. "Tell me, what happened to you, Deku; if no one hurt you"
Deku rose to his feet, recovering from the blow.
They gave him a terrible urge to hug him, not to let him go for anything in the world. Embrace it until it disappears.
He had before him the love of his life, the man he loved and was throwing tantrums because he disappeared for the worst and eternal two weeks of his life.
He investigated the possible whereabouts that Deku used to frequent, he even went to his mother's house, where he did not know where his son was either.
The options were reduced until they were nothing and without Deku.
He felt weak in his search, his friends believed that someone had hurt him, worse, kidnapped and tortured him.
Damn, he couldn't go on without him. He needed him for every beat of his heart, he longed to hold him in his arms, he yearned for him madly.
"I'm sorry, Kacchan" He apologized politely, bowing his head.
"Where were you, Deku?" He demanded again, clenching his fists tightly, his jaw trembling. "Why did you disappear?"
Deku looked at him in doubt, biting his lower lip, as if searching for an answer to his question.
However, his boyfriend was already with him, so he had nothing to fear, the worst was over.
Did he really need an explanation at the time?
He needed him to satiate his ego, but not his bleeding heart, which was beating fervently for the reason of his overturns.
"I needed to think, Kacchan" Deku admitted in complete sincerity. "I didn't want to seem like I was playing with your feelings by not knowing mine, so I thought it best to get away from everyone to think calmly and come up with an answer"
"Pure fucking excuses with you Deku!" He barked defensively.
"Sorry"
"I don't want your absurd apologies!" He yelled. "I hate you doing things on your own!"
You know how worried I was about you? He wanted to say, but the words caught in his throat without being able to get out.
"Forgive me, Kacchan" He replied. "Please forgive me, I understand that you are upset with me"
"I'm not upset!" He countered.
"I understand if you no longer want to be with me" He said sadly.
What had the damn stupid nerd just said? Who doesn't want to be with him anymore?
"Hah?" He spat out in disarray.
"I hurt you by disappearing, it wasn't fair of me" He lowered his head, sad. "I am very imperfect, Kacchan"
You are not, he corrected.
You are perfect.
"Well, that's all" He concluded in his lifeless voice, stressing that he was done with him, which Katsuki didn't accept.
"Hey who do you think you're talking to, useless?" He challenged him, frowning.
"Eh?" Deku looked up puzzled.
His beautiful green eyes were sad.
"I have to spell everything for you" He complained pissed off."Because that brain of yours is useless to you; You, Deku, listen to me well" He said haughtily.
The aforementioned looked at him puzzled.
"I have to be an idiot to not want to be with you" He said. "I'm not someone who hangs around with slobbery nerds for no reason, I have only noticed one person and that useless bastard is you, Deku" His blush appeared with infusion, at the same time that Deku's blush emerged in an explosive presence.
His greenish orbs glowed incandescent, being so beautiful to him to witness.
He loved when those eyes lit up, like beautiful clear and hot skies.
He loved the way they looked at him.
"Kacchan..." He muttered, showing a smile so huge that it could light up a solar eclipse entirely.
Moved by his smile, he ran to him and threw himself into his arms, being caught by him, who wrapped him in his strong and captivating arms.
"Stupid fool" He growled, clutching his hands over Deku's black jacket. "Don't disappear like that again, don't you dare disappear"
"I won't" He assured his softly, his hands capturing his waist gently. "I'm sorry I worried you"
"Who says I'm worried?!" He yelled, his throat lumping his cut-out voice.
Deku chuckled softly.
"I like you"
He blushed, wrapped in a cloud of intense happiness.
The sugary feeling became the cloak that covered them around their proximity.
Katsuki couldn't feel fuller.
Act 27: Stay
They hugged each other on the sidewalk, having a beautiful sunset in the sky, which was consistent with the night.
The light turned dim, but time slowed down his position. Nothing compared to the romanticism of the atmosphere, the soft and subtle heat, the breeze that caressed his blond locks, his breaths sounded calm.
The silence that surrounded them only accompanied them in their state.
Katsuki missed him so much that he felt faint in the process.
Wherever Deku was in the future, he would search for him regardless of the time it would take him to do so; he would never again let him go, as long as he lived, he would stay together with him, anointed with him.
Again, the tears threatened to appear in his eyes, which he squeezed hard so that they didn't spurt out of his eyes.
Soon it would get dark and the stars would mate in the sky, they would appear like twinkling dots in the purple sky and the silence enveloped the panorama with their vestiges.
His hands gripped his partner's jacket with the intention of holding on to his presence, drawing him into his body that he longed to feel.
I would have to be stupid not to fall in love with you, he thought in love, because I only need you to feel complete.
"Deku" He said, fitting his hands hard between his jacket, holding on to him.
He heard him nod.
"Where have you been these two weeks?" He asked, snuggling his cheek against his chest, hearing the sound of his heartbeat.
"It's a secret, Kacchan" He replied, making him frown in disdain.
"Why don't you tell me?" He used a rougher tone.
"All Might told me not to say anything" He explained, tightening his grip around his body.
"Ugh, Deku" He said annoyed.
"Forgive me, Kacchan" He apologized politely. "I'll tell you about it in a quieter place." Saying that the latter, he put a hand on his hair and stroked it gently. "Because I don't want there to be secrets between us"
Katsuki supposed that the nerd was living a complicated situation, but not complex to understand. Being him, it would not take him long to understand what his partner said, who just confessed to him.
His confession, he would keep it forever in his memory, record it and frame it in his brain to repeat it every time nostalgia seized him.
The youthful night covered their forms with her dresses, those that melted into the immense vastness of the darkness.
"Neither do I" He replied grumbling.
"I'll take you home" He warned him, pulling away from the hug a little.
Katsuki gave him an annoyed look.
"Your parents must be worried about you." He brought his forehead close to his, sticking lightly. "It's wrong of me to worry your parents"
"My parents, hah!" He scoffed. "Don't be ridiculous, Deku"
"Me?" He made a puzzled gesture.
"Who else, idiot?" He joked, smiling sideways.
"I will take you to your house, Kacchan" Deku repeated, separating himself completely from the hug and took him by the hand, heading towards his house. Katsuki didn't want to return, but the nerd was with him, that made at least loneliness not feel so imminent.
He did whatever it took him to be taken by that warm hand and bring him to his mercy. It gave him the feeling of being guided in his company, guided by the same path, guided to the same goal as his partner.
However, it was worth mentioning that he found it strange that Deku wanted to leave him at his house after confessing, but he knew that he shouldn't make strange and subordinate machinations in a situation like this, since he needed to update himself on the events that had occurred elapsed in the life of the nerd, although somehow, they alluded to vicissitudes in his environment.
After a few minutes they arrived at their house. Deku went to drop him off at the entrance, but figured that if he let him go, they wouldn't see each other in another period of time, and he held him back, taking him by the hem of his jacket, startling his partner, who turned to see him in questioning gesture.
"Kacchan?"
Katsuki blushed, lowering his gaze, with a certain tremor evidencing his nervousness and his eagerness to have him close.
"No." His entire jaw trembled. "Don't go, Deku"
"Em, Kacchan, I don't know" He muttered dubiously, grimacing thoughtfully.
"I don't want... I don't want you to go," He confessed, feeling the blush cover his entire face accompanied by his frown. "I hate it"
Deku exhaled in conflict between giving in or leaving, he could tell by the movement his eyes made under pressure.
"I'm not going to disappear, Kacchan" He assured, looking at him deeply, as if in his gaze were all the certainties he needed to be calm.
But, I want you to stay, he thought, twisting his lip, the same as trembling.
"I want you to stay, Deku" He said firmly.
"I don't know, Kacchan" He hesitated, clasping two fingers together.
This angered the explosive boy, who just throbbed a vein protruding from his temple, and in one movement pulled Deku to the ground, crashing him into the entrance of his house, causing a loud noise.
"Kacchan!" He exclaimed in shock.
"Can't you hear me, Deku?!" He faced furiously, the bridge of his nose fluttering. "If I say stay, it's because I want you to stay, asshole! Or do you need time to think?"
The stunned silence of his partner, only increased his tantrum.
"Why don't you understand the simple things?" He shouted in exasperation. "You always walk from one side to another and you can't stay when I ask you to; can't or don't want, Deku?"
He would sound silly but he took it out of all the stress he carried in the time he didn't hear from him, and now that he had him in front of him, he wouldn't want to yell at him and let him know how much he endured on his part.
Deku's orbs stared at him in fulfillment of his retaliation, their green gaps settling on his reddish ones, intermingling with that deep gaze they exchanged.
Deku stood up from the ground, hastily rejoining, readjusting his black jacket and curls that had tangled out of place.
"I'll stay" He concluded.
Katsuki smiled gratefully, expanding his chest that had previously been squeezed with tension.
"Well done, nerd" He said petulantly.
Deku smiled nervously, reaching into the pockets of his jacket; action that seemed attractive to Katsuki, who blushed immediately, absorbed in the well-worked body of his partner, and that together made him seem an absolutely attractive man.
"I'll be in your care tonight." He bowed his head in thanks and raised his head, regarding him with a huge, glowing smile.
His heart skipped a beat and he clenched his jaw, not wanting to show himself in front of his parents' house how soft he could be with Deku.
It would be a scenario that he never wanted to live.
Act 28: Night together
Katsuki didn't know which was worse. If the imprudence of his mother or the silence of his father by not intervening before the imprudence of his mother.
He almost blasts the entire dining room of the courage to have to deal with his parents in the presence of his boyfriend. The presence of his boyfriend in his house was of essential importance, since he was the person he loved and, therefore, involved giving him respect and recognition for tolerating someone of his explosive temperament and toughness as a person.
The best they could do was feed Deku dinner and let him sleep in his room; at least they didn't seem so silly to him, as he was labeling them for those moments.
They had a bit of decency when they realized that their only son wanted to spend the night in the company of his boyfriend.
Climbing the stairs, he noticed Deku getting nervous, and he knew it because he was someone transparent. You could read Deku like an open book, as if you found the answers right there, just by looking into his eyes and understanding that her depth had a sea of certainty, a sea that oscillated solemnity in the environment.
Katsuki frowned, seeing Deku being a bundle of nerves, once entering her room, almost instantly saw him collapse on the floor.
"What are you up to, stupid?" He inquired, looking at him with a frown.
"Ah what?" Deku said half awake. "What did you say, Kacchan?" He giggled.
Katsuki slapped him on the head, pulling him out of him nervous trance in seconds.
At times, he believed that he used to be in a different tune from his own, in a frequency of oscillations, composed of ups and downs.
Instead, it used to be almost always on the same frequency, on the same neutral frequency, one could even say that it was static; and, it wasn't to be expected, since he was a man who placed a barrier on the four poles of his person, so that no one could enter, more than his partner, who was precisely in his room, rubbing his head from the blow that he gave him for his ridiculous nerves.
Their frequencies didn't match most of the time and that greatly frustrated Katsuki, who longed to be on the same page as Deku. In the same tune.
"Sorry." He bowed his head, smiling ruefully. "I was very nervous going back to your room, Kacchan"
"Hah?" Katsuki winced.
"I mean the last time I came here was out the window." He laughed, shrugging. "And now it was through the entrance to your house, I'm ashamed!" He covered his face with both hands, flushed resembling a tomato. "I feel so bad for doing something wrong!"
Katsuki laughed, relaxing with the knowledge that his partner hadn't been nervous for any reason, but had a background, which upon hearing it was hilarious.
Deku could be embarrassed of many things, including doing things, which in her nerdy point of view were illegal.
"Deku, really?" Katsuki said with a mocking laugh. "It's over, you hollow head." He walked over to him and tapped him on the head.
"Oh, Kacchan" He sighed in anguish. "I'm a bad influence"
"Hah?" He exhaled incredulously. "Of course not, Deku, don't say those things." He stopped his tapping, and lowered his open hand to his cheek, removing the hands that covered his sweet face.
"Sorry"
"Stop apologizing, you brute!" He raised his voice in dominance. "And you tell me what happened to you these two weeks that I didn't know about you; do not think that I left the subject halfway, you will tell me everything" He demanded, exalting his partner.
"Well" He sighed, regaining his signature look a bit. "When my time in the dorms was over, I told All Might I needed a place to stay." He wrinkled his brows slightly. "More specifically, a place where I could temporarily isolate myself until my feelings were fixed"
"The cheeky All Might didn't tell me any of this when I asked him" Katsuki claimed, offended and outraged, folding his arms, pouting annoyingly.
"It was just that I told him not to say anything" Deku confessed with fear, dwarfed.
"Tsk." He clicked his tongue plaintively. "Why stupid Deku?"
"Kacchan" He muttered uncomfortably. "It's that if you knew where I was, you could go visit me and I didn't want that" He replied. "No, until I ordered my feelings"
"And now that they are in order, what will you do?" He bragged, wrinkling his face. "You will disappear again, hah?"
"No, Kacchan" He replied, alarmed. "I wouldn't do that to you again."
"Hah, that's what you say right now" He said dryly. "Who knows if you will be able to fulfill what you say"
"No, Kacchan" He replied pained. "No…"
"And where the hell do you live, useless?You can't even tell me where you live"
"I live in a residence for retired heroes" He reported, not erasing his expression of pain from his words. "It's … it's located on the outskirts of the city"
"In a residence for retired heroes?" He repeated mockingly.
Deku nodded quietly.
Katsuki clicked his tongue again, looking at Deku hard, inspecting him. Everything seemed very normal in his appearance, he didn't pretend to be lying or inventing things.
He wanted to convince himself of his words, he wanted to convince himself that he wouldn't disappear from his sight.
He made sure that Deku was in the same space as his, although due to his nefarious pride, he hurt him again.
"It's a nice residence" Deku related, pulling him out of his musings. "My-my room is huge, as big as Kacchan's, and I have a very beautiful ocean view." He smiled small. In his eyes you could tell he remembered something nice "They also have a gym, so I have been training there; the retired heroes are very strong, agile and very intelligent, I have learned a lot with them" He smiled wider. "All Might is paying for my stay there until I work, oh, and they include three meals a day"
"Hm" he nodded, implying that he was paying attention.
"Ah yes" He continued excitedly. "The place is more or less an hour from here, so when I talk to you, I used my quirk to take less time." He laughed in mischief at his feat. "Well, that was all I did in the two weeks"
"And to think, it's your specialty" Katsuki huffed, grimacing in disgust.
"Eh?" Deku said quickly.
"Yes, you always" He mentioned petulantly. "You always think about everything else, and you only think about yourself, you fucking selfish"
"It's not like that" Deku defended in anguish.
"Oh of course?" He giggled. "If you were more considerate, you would have told me that you needed time alone, when I told you from the beginning that I could wait"
"Kacchan, it wasn't my intention to give you a bad time" He replied, approaching him cautiously, to which he backed away, making a grimace of annoyance. "I already know my answer!"
"Uh-huh" He said indignantly.
"I-I like you, Kacchan" He confessed with an intense blush on his cheeks.
Katsuki blushed, his heart skipping a beat.
"Shut up" He mumbled. "No… don't say more, Deku"
"But I like you" He insisted, taking his hand with a softness that seemed to be touched by silk.
"Ah, Deku" He sighed, shaking the hairs on his skin.
"Believe me, Kacchan" He pleaded, posing his beautiful green orbs over his sight. Katsuki was lost in the sea of his beauty, in the deep ocean of his greenish essence, which attracted and absorbed him. "Please believe me"
Katsuki furrowed his eyebrows, trembling at the immense presence that called out to him.
"Oh, Deku." He launched himself into his arms, being received by him, gently. "Deku, Deku." He surrendered to his warmth. "Damn, I missed you so much, asshole" He admitted with the best sincerity he could get from his aggressive personality.
"Me too, Kacchan." He clung him to his side, shortening the distance between them. "I missed hugging you"
"If you disappear again, at least warn" He claimed, feeling a lump in his throat make his appearance.
"Yes" Deku assured sincerely.
"I love you" He said captivated, hugging him as tightly as he could. "I love you, Deku"
"Kacchan" He articulated, lowering his head to his breath, parting his lips, looking at him with his huge green eyes in a longing desire, to which he approached until he kissed him, brushing their mouths in a lightness that completely overwhelmed him and made him surrender to its solemnity, its light and its magnetism.
Deku wrapped his arms around him, narrowing him entirely, completely closing the remaining distance between them.
The feeling of feeling protected swept over him, while he felt that everything inside him began to melt. Everything in him melted like an ice floe.
His veins were so dilated that his body was on fire, and both the cold and the eviction dissipated.
Katsuki no longer felt unprotected, because with Deku by his side, he no longer felt fear.

P.S. We are close to the end of this story, but there'll be a second part.
