Author's Note:
This chapter is going to skip around a bit because I'm not great at filler centering around what I'm trying to get to, so bear with me lol.
Things had been going so well that it was only a matter of time until a close call happened. That was all Ami could think of as she looked up at the door to see her uncle standing there. He hadn't knocked or announced himself before he walked in, but then again she could've been too distracted to.
Ami freezes, her hand holding her phone to her ear. "...Hi?" She says, her heart beating almost out of her chest. Her being on the phone and being interrupted wasn't necessary a bad thing, but in a case like this... it was. Considering the fact that she'd been moments away from video calling Katsuki again for the 5th time this trip, and that would've been bad for him to walk in on. Her laptop was open next to her at that very moment, her chat with Katsuki open and her cursor hovering over the "video chat" button.
"What's wrong, Shortstack?" Katsuki asks from the other side of the phone. Hopefully he wasn't loud enough to be heard from her door, because that would be a whole different problem to deal with.
"Who's that?" Her uncle asks, casually pointing to the phone.
"Mina," Ami lies quickly.
His eyebrow quirks up but he nods, "I was just coming to see if you had everything packed for tomorrow." Break was ending tomorrow and they'd be back in school the next day. "Are you ok? You look freaked out."
"Mhm." Ami's throat was dry despite not necessarily having been caught doing anything. She had forgotten to lock her door, any later and she could've been in deep trouble. She forces a laugh, "And yeah, I just didn't hear you knock."
"First rule of talking to me," Katsuki mumbles. "Locked doors are a necessity."
She fights the urge to roll her eyes. "I'll talk to you later then. See you!" She hopes the girlish enthusiasm in her voice seals the illusion as she pretends to hang up. Then she looks at her uncle, "I'm all packed. I was just about to head to bed."
"I've been meaning to talk to you about something." He says. "If you have the time?"
Ami straightens up and nods.
"I'm sorry if I've been hard on you or if I've been overbearing." He begins. "I guess I'm just worried about you. I want you to do well, so I don't want you falling in with anyone... problematic, or anyone who could potentially distract you."
"I haven't fallen in with anyone 'problematic'," She says. "If you're talking about Bakugo then he's better than you seem to want to give him credit for. He's my friend. And yes, I heard about how he was back when he was a first year and even going into his second year, but that was a long time ago."
Her uncle grunts and shoves his hands in his pockets. "He means well, I know. He's got a more than promising future as a hero and the drive to get him high on the charts. It's more you that I'm worried about than him when your friendship is involved."
"Excuse me?"
"You have a tendency to... focus on the wrong things."
Ami looks away. Her family had gone in on her when they'd gotten the call from Seiai about what had happened. Leaving Seiai had always been the plan, but being suspended for skipping class and getting caught in a spare classroom with
Michiko was the icing on the cake. Her parent's had been furious, accused her or focusing more on "that girl" than on school, saying she must've been why Ami's grades were slipping. In reality, they were slipping because she was tired of the harassment due to her grades being high. Michiko was just a welcome distraction. Holding back and slacking off in class was a sacrifice that Ami had been willing to make to get Saiko, the queen bitch, off of her back and it had worked.
Admittedly, skipping class that day was probably the only reason her parents even let her leave Seiai. They were convinced that bad influences had gotten to her. That, and the fact that the school had gotten damaged when villains were running rampant. Although Seiai had finished it's repairs a while back, Ami really tried her best not to hear about the school at all. Bad memories were best left in the past and that school was the worst memory of them all.
"I know you're at the age where you can make your own decisions now and that's most likely why you seem to steer clear of me," Her uncle continues. "But despite that, you can still talk to me about things. I may be a teacher and a pro, but I'm your uncle before all that."
Ami looks back up at him and gives him a small smile, "I know."
"Anyway, that's all I had to say. Night, kid."
"Goodnight."
Once her door shuts, she stands up and crosses the room quickly to lock it before going to pick up her phone. "Hello?" She says softly.
"So he's been paying attention to us still after all, huh?"
"...yeah," She sighs. "Apparently he told my parents about you already."
Katsuki scoffs softly, irritated. "Well so much for any good first impression." He mutters.
"He didn't ruin that chance," She says quickly. "My mother just might... not be as easy to win over now."
Katsuki's quiet for a moment before he takes a breath. "You don't have to defend me to them," he says. "If they like me, then good. If they don't like me, then whatever. I couldn't give a fuck less. I'm here for you, I'm not here for them."
Ami lays down, turning on her side to click the call button on their chat. Once his face appears on the other side of the screen she ends the phone call and smiles at him. "While I still do want them to like you, I guess that is true." She says softly. "We'll work on it and worry about that later."
Katsuki sits back in his bed and stretches, giving Ami a full view of all his muscles in all their glory. "What I really care about right now is seeing you after how my day went today." He says, settling. "How's my girl?"
"Much better now."
He laughs, "I mean how was your day."
"Uneventful. I did go shopping with my mom though and we got some new clothes."
Katsuki grins, "Anything you want to show me?"
Ami jumps up, turning the screen to face the center of her room as she lightly runs across the room to get her bags. She strips down and starts to show off her new outfits, trying them on one by one and getting his opinions on them. While she couldn't wear them during the school day, she and Katsuki could sneak off campus for dates and she could wear them then.
"I know I've said this a hundred times already," Katsuki murmurs, voice rough. "But I really can't wait to get my hands on you again."
Ami titters, stuffing her clothes back into her bags. "Tomorrow." She promises.
"Wear something special for me?"
"Oh I planned to."
Katsuki watches her put her bags away, whistling in appreciation when she walks back into view with her pajamas on her arm, "I'll never get tired of seeing you like this."
She rolls her eyes this time, failing to suppress a laugh, "Naked?"
"Yes."
Putting her pajamas on, much to his verbal disappointment, she climbs back into bed and places her laptop in her lap. "Tomorrow." She promises yet again. "I convinced him to leave early so I can spend the rest of the day with you."
"You'll be staying the night too."
"I expected nothing less."
Katsuki fidgets with the drawstrings of his sweatpants. "I also kind of need to talk to you about something. Nothing bad." He adds quickly when her face turns concerned. "I promise it's nothing negative."
"Then what is it?"
He waves a dismissive hand, "You'll find out tomorrow."
She grunts but lets up. She usually hated surprises but Katsuki had managed to change her stance on them. Usually he would surprise her with a date somewhere nice or with a date night in his room, but talking about something could be anything. The change made her a little nervous.
"So," She continues, changing the subject. "What happened that made your day so stressful?"
Katsuki huffs and throws his hands up, "Well these fucking assholes-"
Ami grins, watching his animated hand motions as he explains.
She was really excited to see him tomorrow.
"Katsuki!"
He turns and grins, holding his arms open for Ami to jump into. He holds her tight as she wraps her legs around him, giving him a tight hug. "Hey, Shortstack." He murmurs into her hair, taking a deep breath. "I fucking missed you."
She leans back to grab his face and pepper it with kisses, landing the last one on his lips. "I missed you." She says softly.
The common room was empty save for the two of them, Kirishima, and Mina. They'd been the first ones back and had made sure there was no one around for this little reunion. Katsuki was grateful. He hadn't wanted his first time seeing her again to be restrained because of their classmates. As it stood, at the moment no one else had returned from their homes and the building was empty save for the four of them.
Kirishima walks over once Katsuki puts Ami down and wraps her up in a hug. "How was your break?" He asks her, doing some little handshake-greeting once he releases her.
"Boring as hell," She rolls her eyes, a smile on her face. "Yours?"
"Pretty chill."
Mina comes up and catches Ami in what looks like a rib-crushing embrace. "I have so much to tell you!" She squeals, then immediately drags Ami to the common room couches.
Katsuki and Kirishima exchange an amused look.
"So you got any plans with her today?" He asks.
Katsuki watches the girls laugh and smiles before nodding. "I think today's the day I tell her." He says softly.
"Finally." Kirishima sighs.
"What do you mean finally?" Katsuki huffs. "I needed time to think it over."
"You needed time to think about whether you were going to wuss out or not is what you mean." Eijiro teases, elbowing him playfully.
Katsuki swats him away and looks back over at the girls. "I wasn't going to wuss out, dumbass. I was just... making sure."
Ami glances over at him them, grinning when she sees him looking.
Damn she's so pretty.
"You need me to distract Mina?"
"Thank you, and call me if anyone else shows up."
"Got it."
It takes about 20 minutes and 100 promises to pull Ami from Mina's grasp, but when they finally do, Katsuki leads her up to his dorm room with her fingers locked through his.
"Please tell me whatever it is that you need to talk to me about," Ami says immediately once he closes his door behind them. "I have anxiety. I know you said it wasn't anything bad that you had to say but I still-"
Katsuki slides his fingers into her hair, cupping the back of her head, and pulls her in for a kiss, effectively cutting off her stream of words. He wraps his other arm around her waist when she falls into him, supporting her weight when her knees give. "I'm getting to it," He says against her lips. "Give me a second."
Ami grips the front of his shirt and pulls him in for another heated kiss, humming in understanding.
He picks her up, gripping the backs of her thighs as he carries her to his bed. "I just need to process that you're actually here now." He laughs softly, laying her down on her back. "Let me?"
She laughs and nods, "Ok, ok," she concedes, stretching her arms above her head. That's when her hands hit the box. Frowning, she looks up.
The little silver gift box had taken him forever to wrap, and the bow even longer. He'd tried to make everything at pretty as possible but his hands were too big and clumsy, not used to wrapping or tying or doing a lot of things that he considered delicate.
"What's this...?"
"Open it."
Ami grabs it and sits up, looking down at it with curiosity. "Is this the thing you wanted to talk about?" She asks.
"It's part of it."
"Part of it?"
"Just open it, damn it." He laughs, sitting down on his knees between her thighs.
She grins and carefully unties the bow, sticking the tip of her nail underneath the wrapping paper's tape seals to peel them apart. Once she has it open, she picks up the tiny jewelry box on the inside and opens it. Her eyes soften immediately.
"I saw it at a jewelry store that I passed on the way to eat with my parents a few days ago," He says. "It reminded me of you, so I got it customized."
She lifts her hand up, the delicate silver chain dangling from her fingers. The necklace was beautiful in it's simplicity, being a thin silver chain and at the bottom dangled a hollow heart with two heart gemstones inside of it. One heart was a diamond, the other an amethyst, and above them on their respective sides of the main heart were engraved a "K" and an "A" for their names.
"The lady at the jewelry store told me that for my birthday the stone is a diamond -where the K is-, and for yours it's an amethyst -where the A is-. Which I thought fits because it's purple and you love purple." He knew he was rambling now, but he was nervous. He'd never actually picked out a gift like this on his own before. "...Do you like it?"
Ami's eyes meet his and she reaches out her free hand to cup his cheek in her palm. "I love it." She says, emotion heavy in her tone. "I can't put into words how much I love it."
He takes the necklace from her and she holds up her hair so he can clasp it around her neck. "You can wear it under your uniform shirt at school and no one will see it," He says. "It was more subtle than a bracelet and prettier than earrings. In my opinion, at least."
"Thank you, Katsuki."
He ducks his head, "You don't have to thank me. I've never gotten you anything you could wear before, so I figured it was about time that I did." He motions to the picture collage of them on his wall that she'd gotten him as an early Christmas gift. "It's not as big and sappy as what you got me, but it's pretty. Like you."
She leans down and kisses him, pulling him in close, "It's perfect, Kats."
Katsuki looks up at her and clears his throat, "It's only part of what I needed to say though."
"And the rest?"
He shifts his weight and scratches the back of his head nervously. "Well..." His heart was in his throat and he didn't know why. He could barely hear past it's loud beating. "I wanted to say that I... uh..."
She takes his face in her palms again, looking down at him with gentle eyes. "Breathe." She reminds him softly. "You're working yourself up."
He takes a deep breath and holds it before exhaling, closing his eyes. Then, laying his hand over one of hers, he meets her eyes again. "I think I'm falling in love with you." He tells her quietly. "Really fucking hard."
Her eyes widen slightly, but the happiness in them is unmistakable. "You do?" She asks, her voice an awed whisper.
He nods, suddenly nervous again. "I know it's kind of soon, and that's why I want to soften it by saying I think because the feelings are really fucking strong and I just... I don't want to freak you out, and-"
"Katsuki."
He stops talking.
"I feel the same way." She murmurs, eyes sparkling. "Get up here and let me show you."
Katsuki pulls her forward off the bed and into his lap instead, catching her lips in another kiss. "No," he corrects her softly. "Let me show you."
She laughs as he stands up and tosses her on his bed, looking up at him as he tugs off his shirt before leaning down to kiss her again as he unbuttons hers. Her fingers roam down his chest, dropping lower until they can pull free the tied drawstring on his pants. Her movements are rushed and almost clumsy as she tugs them down, her teeth catching his bottom lip in a firm bite as she moves down.
"I want to try something new this time." He tells her, slowing her movements.
She looks back up at him, violet eyes curious. "New like what?" She asks.
Katsuki pulls off her shirt, eyes lingering for a few beats on the pink lace bra she wears underneath, before moving to her skirt and revealing the matching bottoms.
"You said wear something cute," She says shyly, wiggling to get her skirt off. "Don't be surprised and just stop."
He tosses her skirt and shirt across the room and climbs over her, discarding his own pants and boxers before hooking a finger under the waistband of her panties. "I want to show you what I'm feeling in a different way." He continues. "Take it slow this time."
She nods, lifting her hips so he can pull the pink lacey bottoms off, her lip gripped nervously between her teeth.
Katsuki kisses her again, making a trail from her lips down to her hip before spreading her thighs around his face on either shoulder. He locks her in, never breaking eye contact as he kisses the soft skin of her thighs.
She exhales softly, lifting her hips up when he continues to kiss around her thighs.
He licks into her, up until his tongue flicks across her clit. He spreads her open, licking deeper this time to force a moan from her. "You taste so fucking good," He groans. He pulls her hips closer and sucks. "And I'm already hard from just tasting you."
"Katsuki please," She whispers, rocking her hips against the strokes of his tongue. Her hands grip the blankets when he slips the tip of it inside of her, covering his lips and face in her cum.
He hums, increasing the pressure of each lick. He just wanted to get her close before he slipped inside. Having her at her most desperate was hot.
It doesn't take long before her body starts to give him signs that she's about to cum. She tangles her fingers in his hair, steering him as she practically grinds against his mouth. Her breathing quickens, tiny little moans and sounds spilling from her mouth in-between pants.
That's when he stops, climbing up her body and pushing her thighs apart so he can move his hips forward, pushing his hardened erection into her. He intertwines his fingers with hers against the pillows, waiting until she's settled before capturing her lips with his once again. Chills shoot up his spine as she tightens around him, forcing a moan from his own lips, "Oh fuck...."
Ami lifts her hips, desperately rocking them against him as her tongue slips into his mouth in an even deeper kiss.
Katsuki pulls his hips back then pushes forward again, picking up a pace of slow, deep thrusts. He wanted to take his time with her this time, show her exactly how she made him feel.
Her grip on his hands tighten, her pants in tune with the rhythmic thumps of his bed against the wall. "Katsuki..." She whimpers.
He releases her hands so he can brace his arms on either side of her head, using the back of his hand to gently stroke her cheek. "You're so perfect," He tells her. "Everything about you is."
Ami's cheeks redden and she tries to look away but he turns her face back to his.
"Don't look away," He says, pushing in deep and holding still until she squirms. "I want to see your face."
She bites her lip as her eyes meet his. Her eyes are hazy and half-lidded now, the rise and fall of her chest quick. She inhales with him when she squeezes around him again, arching her back slightly when he doesn't immediately continue moving.
"I'm the only one who can make you feel this way," He whispers. "I'm the only one that you can fall to pieces beneath."
She squirms underneath him, reaching up to grab his face and pull him in again. "Please," She gasps between kisses. "Don't stop."
"I want to hear you say it."
"You're the only one," She whimpers.
He picks up his thrusts again, his eyes never leaving hers even as her hands drop to grip his shoulders, her nails digging into his skin. "I want you to cum for me," He tells her. "I want to hear you moan my name."
Her breathing was irregular now, her hips coming together with his messily as incoherent sounds spill from her parted lips.
"I love how much of a mess you are for me," he coos, hoping to push her over the edge. "You're beautiful."
"K-Katsuki..."
"Don't hold it back." He quickens his pace now, leaning in to kiss down her neck. "Let me hear it."
Her nails sink into his shoulders when she cums, her head falling back against the pillows as she moans his name. Loud. The loudest she'd ever dared to before.
Katsuki keeps going, and soon he's on the verge of emptying himself inside her, broken moans and curses tumbling from his lips. He moves to pull out, but Ami wraps her legs around his waist and pulls him back in. His eyes widen and he looks down at her, his breath leaving his body at the look on her face.
"Cum inside me," She pleads softly.
Ah fuck...
He can't help it. His fingers sink into the pillow even he cums, another string of curses coming from his lips. FUCK this felt good. His head drops to her shoulder and she wraps her arms around him, fingers gripping his hair as she whispers him praises. Some make him blush as he comes down from his high and he hides his face against her neck.
"That... was probably not the best idea." He laughs softly.
"Don't worry, 100% prepared for it." She shrugs her shoulders, a smile in her voice though he can't see it. Then, she pulls him up so she can look up at his face. "Kats."
"...yeah?"
She's fully smiling now, face flushed. "I love you." She says. "And no, I don't think it's too soon."
He feels the grin break out on his face before he can stop it, "I love you too, Shortstack."
And as the words leave his lips, he realizes even more how true they ring.
