The Only One You Love

[Part 1. Out for the night. Again.]

It had been raining every day, constantly, for the past three days, it was starting to get annoying. Katsuki could feel the sound of rain pitter-pattering on the window getting seared in his brain. It didn't help that katsuki hated the rain. It ment he had to smoke inside, which was hard to do with his parents in the house. He usually went to Izuku's in these situations. His house was always quiet since Izuku's mother was always on business trips.

Walking down the stairs, in a black tank top and some cargo pants, combat boots, his chunky belt and his tag necklace. His mother would have thought he was going to the garage down the street and help Kirishma fix up cars. It was what he always told his mother he was gonna do when he went out. It was true half of the time, but the other half was somewhere she wouldn't wanna know. He's pretty sure she knows that because she won't stop being nosy. She didn't wanna know about her sons sex life. He was a senior in high school, he's responsible.

He grabbed his keys, said goodbye to his mother, and got in his car and was off to Izuku's. This is where things got annoying.. he had to park his car at Kirishma's place, and then walk across the street to Izuku's. He did it, managing to stay covered for the most part, the rain occasionally slowing down, so he showed up to Izuku's porch damp, and unannounced. He knocked on the door, and like always, Izuku answered frantically.

The second the door opened, Katsuki caught the scent, skunky weed mixed with some cheap laundry detergent. Of course Izuku was high again. He did that a lot when he was stressed.

IZUKU
"K-Kacchan? What are you doing here?"

His eyes unfocused. Katsuki didn't say anything about it at first. Just stepped inside without waiting for an invitation, kicking his boots off messily on the red mat. Rain dripped from his hair down onto Izuku's floor. Upstairs music played loudly, some melancholic indie rock that katsuki hated because it always played when Izuku was in one of those moods. Katsuki glanced past him into the dim living room, empty soda cans on the coffee table, a half burned joint in an ashtray... and Izuku looking like he hadn't slept or eaten properly in days. His voice came out flat this time.

KATSUKI
"Man... you look like shit."

Izuku blinked a few times processing what he just said.

IZUKU
"Hm yeah.. I guess. But wait, you never called me before you came over."

Izuku had a little pouty face from being tired.

Katsuki's shrugged, already walking upstairs to Izuku's bedroom, because of course that's where he'd be. He pushed the door open like it was his own room. Izuku had followed him upstairs quickly. The room was a disaster, clothes everywhere but folded, posters falling off the walls, and a laptop playing some dumb anime on mute on his desk. The smell of weed was thicker here. He turned around and saw Izuku standing there nervously fidgeting with his sleeves. Small hands shaking slightly from being high or anxious.. maybe both.

KATSUKI
"I didn't call because I wasn't planning to be here."

The he flopped onto Izuku's all might themed bed.

KATSUKI
"You got snacks?"

Izuku nodded and pointed at the mini fridge in the corner of the room, he turned the speaker down turned off the music being respectful to katsuki. He picked up a joint he rolled on the windowsill and light it up taking a drag. Katsuki watched Izuku take another hit from the joint. The orange glow lit up his tired face for a split second before fading again. Without a word, katsuki pushed himself off the bed and stomped over to the mini fridge. Yanking it open with more force then necessary. Inside were energy drinks, expired pudding cups, and I half a bag of stale gummy worms.

He grabbed two cans of soda (one being for him obviously) the shut the fridge with his foot before turning back around. Izuku took another slow hit from the joint and asked

IZUKU
"How are you and Sani?"

Katsuki froze mid sip, soda can hovering near his lips. The question caught him off guard.
Sani? Seriously? That's what Izuku wants to talk about right now? He lowered the can slowly, crimson eyes narrowing at Izuku through the dim light. The joint smoke curled between them like a hazy wall.

KATSUKI
"Sani's fine. Why?"

There was an edge to his voice, not angry exactly, but guarded. Like he already knew where this was going.. because every damn time someone asked about Sani around him lately, they brought up dating her. And katsuki didn't do relationships. Especially not with someone who kept asking him to change who he is. Izuku bit his lip.

IZUKU
"Well last week you said you were going back to her place. Anything happen?"

He knew something happened. Katsuki's jaw tightened. The question wasn't innocent, Izuku knew something. Probably heard the gossip from class, or worse... Sani had been telling people. He took a long swig of his soda to buy time, eyes flickering away toward the window where the rain poured. His voice lowers, not ashamed but defensive.

KATSUKI
"Yeah."

No details spilled out. No blush on his face. Then he crushed the empty can of soda in one hand and tossed it into Izuku's trash bin without looking. And they'd done it. Not romantic cuddling or whatever Izuku probably imagined when he thought about "FWB" it was loud, messy sex with no promises afterwards. Classic Bakugo style. After a beat, Izuku tilted his head

IZUKU
"So..? Where you safe about it?"

Katsuki's face went completely still, like someone had flicked a switch. His red eyes snapped to Izuku, sharp and suddenly irritated. The question hit a nerve clearly. Because well.. last time he hadn't used anything with Sani. and Izuku had called him out on it before, back when they were still friends who talked about dumb shit like this instead of avoiding each other because katsuki was an ass hole most days.

KATSUKI
"Shut up. Not your damn business."

He crossed his arms over his chest, looking away fast, jaw clenched so tight it hurt. Because no. He wasn't having safe sex.

IZUKU
"Kacchan.."

Izuku whined in disappointment. The look on his face, that quiet sad disappointing pout, that hit katsuki like a slap to the face.not yelling. Not anger. Just disappointment. And somehow that was worse then anything else Izuku could've said.

Katsuki stiffened. His hands curled into fists at his sides, and for once.. he couldn't meet those big green eyes staring right through him. That stupid expression always messed with him when they were kids, back when Deku would cry over things katsuki did without meaning to hurt anyone. This felt the same.

IZUKU
"Katsuki you can't-.. listen I know it feels better raw or whatever for the both of you, but what if she gets knocked up?"

The words "Knocked up" hung in the air like a grenade pin pulled. Katsuki's stomach dropped. His chest tightened. Not from anger, but from something uglier. Panic he didn't wanna feel. He hadn't really thought about it.. Sani was on birth control!....probably.
