Chapter 20 I-Expo
Uraraka POV
It has been a few days since the whole final exam debacle Deku and Katsuki passed but it didn't make me any less worried about him. Katsuki seemed more tightly wound than usual and even when we went out or simply hung at my apartment the seemed a little tense. Of course, he would catch me staring and instantly relax as if he was trying to prove to both of us that he is oaky.
I learned not to mention it I knew that if he wanted to talk then he would have Katsuki need space to work thing out. He hated the fact that Deku carried him to the finish line. I know that is just the way that Deku is but he only made matters worse by doing that. Now Katsuki seemed to be in a partially bad mood.
Take today for examples here I sat at the cafe table with the girls and Deku and all I could think about is that Katsuki has been avoiding me ever since the mess. Like somehow I went out of my way to convince Deku that he should have saved Katsuki. That it's my idea but he didn't seem to care someone it was still my fault cause we were friends.
A large bombing explosion forces me to snap my head up as the first thing that crossed my mind is Katsuki. But there is no reason that he would be here right. I looked up at the cafe table as Deku talked effortlessly with Melissa. Any other time I would have totally been jealous that another girl is getting all of the attention though I never said anything about it
But now that I am with Katsuki I don't know I didn't see Deku that way, I'm just glad that he wasn't questioning my relationship with Katsuki every five fucking seconds. "Let's go over that way." I nodded my head in agreement with the girls giving each of them a dazzling smile as the sun bared down on top of us.
I'm sure that they didn't really even notice how spacy I have been I did a pretty well at hiding it and talking to Mina about it really helped. Seems like the only person that he wasn't shutting out is, of course, his sister but also Krishna.
I let out a heavy sigh as I looked up for my clutter thoughts to see Katsuki standing there a smug look on his face as a girl in a tub top started to count down. By the time she got down to one, he launched in the air. A dangerous aura taking over him as his war god smile formed on his face. Blood lust clinging to his crimson eyes as I smiled gently at him.
I don't think that I have seen him like this in a while not since he lost to All Might in the mock battles. Kirishima stood there an easy smile on his tan skin soaking in the UV rays as he watched Katsuki what amusement. His own crimson eyes sparkled as we watch Katsuki go to work getting it down in 14 seconds. That's the man I cheered for him which only cause Kirishma to noticed us in the stands.
Even as we made eye contact I watched his lips move rapidly and whatever he had to say forced Katsuki to volt himself in the air. This smug and rage-filled look forming on his face as he turned vengefully from Dekhu to me. His murderous glare softens as his eyes turned a light amber as he smiled coyly at me. "Hey Ochako what are you doing here "
He jumped with ease over the railing not even bother to look at Deku who watched with intrigue. That same explosive noise once again erupting in the air I thought that Katsuki hand might have been the source. But as I looked up I could see a girl in short shorts and an orange tank with a black x going across her chest. "Kai is here too?"
He smiled gently as he strolled over to me whatever weariness that might have been plaguing him back in Japan seemed to slip from him as he smiled gently. A sweet and sly grin formed on his face as he closes the distance between us. He didn't get to close so that the other would know what is going on but I couldn't help but feel my palms heat up as my face turned a bright red.
"I got an invitation for winning the sports festival so I dragged Kirishima and Kai here, she has been dying to go and there was no way that Kirishima wasn't going with me. He is my best bud after all." He ground cooly at me and as my gaze lowered I could see his arm twisted as he resists the urge to wrap his arms around my wrist like I have gotten to use to him doing.
I might have sighed in frustration to give him a hint that I wanted him to pull me into his arms and kissed me. But my face burned as I thought about how the other would react and our relationship is still new there is no way that I wanted to them screaming their heads off. But instead, I nodded my head as a smiled started from on my face.
Which only promoted Katsuk to lean further in his lips inches for my ears as his hot sweet breath brushed gently across my skin. "Don't worry about it Angel you can also stop by my hotel room later."
He leaned back as Kai volted right next to him. Her golden hair whipping around from the rising wind created from the blast her feet generate a few short moments ago. "Kat, oh hey Uraraka" She smiled sweetly at me as she rested an arm on Katsuki shoulder. Unlike her brother who was close off and never showed any emotion but rag.
She seemed more at ease like this is a vacation to her rather than here getting a once in a lifetime experience. I simply looked over to Katsuki who seemed to frown slightly. "Come on Kirishima we are out here."
She waved casually at me before making her way to Katsuki side as he started to walk off. With Kai floating slightly off of the ground as Kirishima spoke casually to Katsuki without a care in the world.
Leaving me utterly shell shocked and turned on as I thought about his hot breath tingling against my skin like one of his phantom kisses. I had to resist the burning urge to moan as I walked back to my own hotel room. There is no way that he is going to the dinner tonight he hated things like that meaning that I was going to have to be there stuck without him.
A few hours later
My heart pounded in my ears as I looked at the ballroom, Momo made us all new clothes and few a few other heroes using their quirks we were right back in the ballroom. The whole room fixed in a matter of seconds and I'm here utterly lost.
Momo was talking casually with Todoroki as Jiro talk with Denki while Karishma hung onto Katsuki as he gave some guy the 3rd degree to some guy dancing with his sister. She looks gorgeous in a strapless red gown with no back that stopped right above her knee.
She looked utterly breathtaking and seeing her like that made me a little jealous all the guys were ogling her even Deku. Not even Katsuki is paying a single moment of attention to me which I know is stupid to get jealous over that it's his sister after all but still that didn't make me feel any less bitter.
"Can I have this dance" A soft voice force shivers down my spine as the hot breath of Katsuki tickled the back of my neck. Forcing shiver to go down my pain as I stifled a soft moan. The sweet smell of the glycine that came off his hand smelled like candy so I always knew when he was behind me but not this time. Was I that lost in my thought and my own jealousy not to see or smell him coming up being me.
I quickly shifted on my heels to see Katuski grinned a lightly at me his eyes soft and caring as he held his hand out before jerking his head towards the dance floor. "What do you have to lose gorgeously. An angel like you should be on center display for these losers." I felt my heart drop into the pit of my stomach as my whole body warmed from his cool and loving words.
How could I say no to that I quickly made my way over to him taking his hand in mind as he spun me three times before resting his right hand on my lower back and his left interlace with my own.
"Look at me ignore them and place your hand on my shoulder" As we got a little further from our classmates I could see the love filling his eyes. His voice is soft and caring as we dance effortlessly on the dance floor.
His eyes straight right into mine as I felt this sense of ease run over me as I did as I was told. I focused my eyes only on him really taking in his soft smile and felt my whole body buzz with love and new found energy. Confidence is radiant off of him, did he ever doubt his skills a great fight an even better lover and a kind man whether wanted to admit it or not.
I could feel myself getting lost in his gaze able to ignore the stares of both momo and Todoroki while Kirishima and Denki chuckled to myself as they eagerly at Katsuki. Like they wanted him to make a move on the dance floor in the middle of the party. Jiro just stood there not saying a word but smiled to herself as her eyes sparkled with edition what is that all about.
But I didn't dare tear my game from Katsuki it is like we are the only two people in the room. The whole world slowed around us and the only reason why I noticed them staring. Is because I saw them from the corner of my eyes. Though I could see Katsuki getting a little tick off. "Ignore them, baby, please"
I gave him a sweet smile that forced his own little blush to form on his face as he averted his gaze. "Fine whatever fuck them anyways." I giggled lightly as he spun me around for a second time. My heart sped up as it felt like the way going to burst my chest this is going to be a great summer.
A few days later
I could feel my chest heaving in and out as the doctor wrapped my arm as Kai stood there in utter shock as she looked around the room. Deku was still being treated and Eraserhead was looking at each of us with worry shining in his eyes
"The pros will handle it." His commanding tone didn't elevate any of my panics he was gone he is really gone and they weren't going to be able to get him back. I could feel my eyes pricking with tears and panic as fear stormed in my mind.
"That bullshit if you could handle this then my brother wouldn't have been taken in the first place. You don't even know where he is" She screamed angrily at him as Kirishima did his best to hold her back. He whispered in her ear but that didn't stop her from raging at him as she glared with new found hate in his eyes. I could see black smoke billowing from her sneaker cold feet.
"He should have left UA after the first villain attacks but he was dumb enough to believe that you people would have his back. If he is hurt in any way I will rip your head clean off your shoulder and stick your head on fucking like your piece of shit. Kirishima let me go I'm leaving." My heart thundered in my chest and it felt like I couldn't move. My body ached and so did my chest.
My heart threatened to jump out of my chest as panic filled my mind my Katsuki they took my Katsuki. He so heads stronger and important there is no way that he would ever join them. I mean hell he wouldn't even admit to being hot in that long sleeve shirt during the entire training camp.
No matter how many times we told him to change his shirt he refused it was almost like was hiding something. Dammit, Ochako, why am I even thinking about that right now your boyfriend is missing an I couldn't stop the burning tears from slipping from my eyes.
How could this go so wrong one minute we are dancing at the I-expo things are so perfect and the next thing that I know he is missing. Taken by those damn villain and for what I have no clue but I know that they are ruthless they tried to kill Tsyu just for being there in the USJ incident. What would they so to my hothead and rude Katsuki, god they would kill him just for speaking coldly to them would they?
I could stop it the flood gate open as my body burn with pain and rack with heartbroken spasms. I pulled my knees as tightly to my chest as I could as if that would help me from falling. Tear blurred my vision till I couldn't see the world, burning hot trails of tears streaming down his face unstopped.
My raking and painful sob ripped through my body as I heard Mina murmuring gently to me."It's okay he will be okay just breathe honey." He sat there holding tightly to my shoulder as I shudder from her sweet voice. No matter how much air I gulped down I couldn't breathe the walls close around me and my head buzzed with uncertainty he was going to die they were going to kill him.
Black spots dance in my vision as I collapse to the groaned unable to breathe as I passed out, darkened swirled around me as a cool voice filled my ears. Rough hands shaking me violently as I heard a cold voice. "Uraraka, Uraraka wake up" I fainted but didn't really hear anything even as Mina frantic voice grew closer and louder all I wanted was to see my Katsuki again.
His sweet smile as he told me how lucky he was to have me, the way that he cure my cheek after a wild isn't a sexual encounter. The way that he would hold me at night when I thought about the whole stain ordeal. Or the way that he looks at me with this burning curious eyes like I am the best thing that ever happened to him. Even as I die fuhrer into that pit of darkness I could practically see his sweet teen smiling face
But as I open my eyes all I got was Mina and Kirishima looking intently at me a worried look on their faces. I couldn't help but frown at them I am so close to seeing him. But yet here I was staring at their worried golden and red states.
I frowned heavily as I glared at the both of them, it felt like my chest was hit with a bag of bricks but all I got was this kid in a tall white lab coat a kind smile on his face. But what could he possibly be smiling about this is the worst day of my life and he had the nerve to smile.
Rage burned in my chest I resisted the urge to make him float into space as he spoke in a calm and reassuring voice that only make me want to punch his lights out even more. "You had slight panic attack do you know what trigger it." I snarled hatefully at him as I slowly picked myself off the ground and glare at him. "I thought that you have a Ph.D. or md or whatever, you went through how many years of college. Get a clue you fucking idiot."
I stormed out the room glaring hatefully at them before storming out of the hospital room and into the fresh air. The silver moon bright silver light shined down on top of me. The moon so full and bright it almost made me forget my rage and pain, what if he isn't okay. I took in a few breaths as I pace back and forth frantic energy running through my bones forcing my muscle to turn to jelly.
He had to be okay she just had to be. I let out a heavy breath as I started to rush about the parking lot doing my best to calm down. I took in a few breaths as my heart pounded in my ear my blood rushing through my body as I fought the urge to breakdown and start crying out here. "Fuck!" I screamed in rage as I slammed my head back looking up at the star-filled sky.
If there is a god up there please let him okay let him come back to me. I frowned heavily as I hear soft steps making there way over to me. "You should calm down this isn't going to make any of this better."
I turned back he had some nerve he wanted to tell me that I needed to calm down. I shifted back on my heels so that I could get a better look at Kirishima. "He is my boyfriend and he was taken while some nut job was attacking me.
I couldn't get to him and no he is gone and I'm left here thinking that he could be dying at any moment that he could be dangerous right now and I'm here doing what crying and pacing. I need him to be okay but until I see him I'm not going to calm down."
Even as I stood still as ice as I glared through narrow vision as Kirishima nodded his head slowly. Guilt burning in his crimson eyes as he looked at me sadly his shoulder dipping heavily.
"Maydoria just woke up we are in to talk to him do you want to come." No, I didn't he was within reaching distance he didn't even try to reach out for him. I don't care if Katsuki didn't want his help he still should have tired. "Fine" I spoke in tight lips as I am my way back into the hospital.
Few Hours
I feel my heart dropping in my chest and then speed right back up as I watched his soft red eyes staring at me. The whole class was happy to see him but the only thing that I noticed was him. I rush for my leg moved without my approval.
I ran into his arms tears filling my eyes as I hid my face deep into his neck. His own arms tightening as he wrapped his arms around me while his hand gently ran through my hair. "It's okay and I'm sorry I so sorry baby don't cry."
He places a gentle kiss on my neck before pulling out of my hug. His soft red eyes searching my face as he kissed my lips his soft lips melding with my own. His warmth overtaking mine like a fierce storm as people began to mutter. "Oh shut it, if you haven't noticed it then you are an idiot." I knew the gruff voice it is Kai. But I didn't bother to pull out as I sank even further into his arms. This is where I belong.
