It all started with a random number

Chapter 18 - Jacket Laced With His Cologne

The car ride to the school was boring and awkward until Katsuki decided to break the silence.

" Don't get into any more fights, you hear me? " He said, taking a glance at Izuku who rolled his eyes in response.

"It's a Friday, just go one more day without lashing out," Katsuki continued after not getting a response. Izuku didn't answer, he instead just stared out the window.

"Izuku, are you even listening to me?" Katsuki turned to look at Izuku as he continued driving, slowing down slightly. When he didn't get a response, he started to get annoyed. "Izuku, answer me," He demanded, his tone shifting to one of more aggression. Izuku glared around Katsuki for a moment before finally responding.

"It's none of your fucking business if I get in a fight or not, so shut up." Katsuki scoffed, sucking his teeth as he pulled the car over to the side of the road.

They sat in silence for a minute before Katsuki spoke.

" I don't know where your attitude is coming from, but you better lose it. "

" Why don't you make me? " Izuku retorted, crossing his arms over his chest as he leaned back in the seat.

" Izuku Aizawa. Last fucking warning, you hear? " Izuku paused, he didn't know if he wanted to cross the line or not. Except he totally did know.

" You don't control me. I'll fucking kick your ass instead! " Izuku snapped, narrowing his eyes at Katsuki. Katsuki nodded silently before unlocking the car doors.

" Get out and walk then, " Katsuki stated simply, waiting for Izuku to comply with his orders.

Izuku furrowed his eyebrows as he continued to glare at Katsuki, confused.

" What? "

" If you don't wanna act right, then you can walk to school. "

" Katsuki, It's like a twenty minute drive, it'll take me an hour to walk! And it's seven in the fucking morning! " Izuku complained, not moving from his seat. Katsuki didn't start the car and he didn't give in to Izuku's whining. He instead stared silently at him.

" Come on, I'm not walking! "

" Get out of my car. "

" Katsuki, I'm not- "

" Fucking out! " Katsuki yelled, cutting Izuku off mid-sentence. Izuku scoffed before unbuckling his seatbelt and opening the car door, stepping out into the cold air as Katsuki drove off.

" Motherfucker! " Izuku shouted in frustration, pinching the bridge of his nose as he started to walk.

He pulled out his phone and began texting Katsuki, agitated.

Izuku : Come back here and pick me up, you dick!

Long story short, he left Izuku on read, which only infuriated Izuku further.

By the time Izuku arrived at school, it was eight, his first period had just ended. He was shivering and his teeth were chattering as he walked into the school, it was too cold to be walking outside for an hour. He wasn't a fan of the cold.

" Fuck, it's not even that much warmer in here... " He grumbled as he walked towards the main office.

As he stepped inside the office, he approached the front desk lady.
" Late again? What's the reason this time? " She asked in a bored tone, sliding the check-in paper to Izuku. Izuku paused, he didn't want anyone to know that Katsuki had come to pick him up, so he had to think of an excuse.

" My car broke down, I had to walk. " He muttered as he filled out the paper. The lady didn't respond and just gave Izuku a hall pass and ushered him out of the room.

His phone buzzed in his pocket as he was walking down the halls. He whipped it out and read the text message.

Katsuki : You finally got here, I see.

Izuku : Yeah. And I'm fucking cold.

Katsuki : Come to my classroom.

Izuku : I'm not about to walk into your fucking classroom for no reason.

Katsuki : Then wait outside the door.

Izuku : Why?

Katsuki : Because I said so. Get your ass over here.

Izuku : Fine.

Izuku pocketed his phone, rolling his eyes as he began to walk to the English classroom. " What could this bastard possibly want? Isn't tormenting me once per day not enough? " He thought to himself as he stopped outside of the door, waiting for Katsuki to walk out.

Katsuki stepped out seconds later with a black, leather jacket draped over his arm. Izuku furrowed his eyebrows, confused.

" Whose jacket? " He asked, putting his hands in his pockets. " Mine, " Katsuki responded simply, holding his hand out, offering the jacket to Izuku.

" Funny. You weren't wearing a jacket earlier, " Izuku stated, glancing between Katsuki and the jacket. " I had one in my car, " Katsuki shrugged, waiting for Izuku to take it. " I don't want it, " Izuku muttered, not wanting to wear Katsuki's jacket.

" Izuku, baby, you're shivering. " Izuku's eyes widened slightly as he brought his hand to his face, covering it as he turned his head so that Katsuki couldn't see the blush spreading across his cheeks.

" Just give me it, " He mumbled before yanking the jacket from Katsuki and pulling it on. Katsuki smirked before he walked back into the classroom, ignoring how painfully, obviously flustered Izuku had gotten.

As Izuku walked to his class, he realized that he liked the comfort of wearing Katsuki's jacket. It had a distinct scent of a woodsy fragrance, which was how Katsuki typically smelt. And for some reason, oddly enough, Izuku enjoyed it. He enjoyed the scent.

It reminded him of Katsuki.
