Katsuki was forced to go to a party, with the new years coming up, the class was rather happy and decided to host a party at the Yaoyorozu residence and it ended up being an open house. They had tried to convince Izuku to go but for once he had an actual excuse considering his mom wouldn't be there for new years, he'd spend the day with her before she left for an other hospital who were in lack of personnel in Tokyo.
He had a dinner that she organized and she had invited Mitsuki and Masaru to join as well. He didn't mind after learning how nice they were.
So in one part of the city, a bunch of teenagers were getting drunk and on the other side, in a small restaurant with traditional Japanese food, was four people celebrating new years together.
"Thank you so much for coming, it's been so long that we celebrated with other people." Inko bows politely to the two other adults who shakes their heads in dismissal.
"Oh Inko, we've been friends for years plus, why not spend time with my futur in laws~" She teases making Inko laugh and Izuku tilt his head in confusion.
"I'm not sure if I understand? Are mom and you getting married or something?" He asks confused making Mitsuki almost spit her water before bursting out laughing.
"Oh my lord! Izuku you're too precious!" Mitsuki squeals pinching his cheeks.
"Honey, please leave the kid be." Masaru pleads giving an apologizing look to the teen.
She smiles slightly tapping his cheeks before sitting back straight.
"Anyways, thank you Izuku, because ever since you came in Katsuki's life, he's been so much more tolerable." Mitsuki smile at him sincerely.
"Kacchan? Was missing a lead singer that problematic to him?? Then why did he refuse when I offered him different singers that would have been far more suited?" Izuku questions making the adults become confuse.
"What do you mean??" Mitsuki asks.
"Well, if it was when I came in his life then it means it was pretty much when they found a lead singer. Which means that the reason he's more tolerable is because he was taken that stress away. Right?" Izuku explains unsure making Maseru chuckle.
"You're a bright kid Izuku, I'm surprised you didn't notice it yet." Masaru admits taking a sip of his wine.
"Notice what?" Izuku asks putting his glass of water down after drinking the rest of the content in it.
"The way he looks at you." He answers truthfully.
"The way he looks at me?" He repeats confused.
"Like you're the most precious thing in the world.." Mitsuki smiles softly as she watched the younger teen become flustered.
"He even called me in advance to make sure I would be there in case you would perform at your first performance as a group." Inko chuckles and Izuku looks at her shocked.
"H-He-" Izuku blushes even more.
"I mean, it's not everyday that you wake up to your son cooking something he hates to give to someone else." Mitsuki jokes and Izuku's heart was doing summersaults, as he nervously played with the hem of his shirt.
"And he always makes his lunch with something he doesn't like to give to you." Mitsuki continues.
"B-But he told m-me t-that it was y-you." Izuku stutters making then two women hold back laughters.
"That's because he has too much pride and won't admit that he goes out of his way to see you happy." Masaru explains.
Inko smiled taking her son's hand giving it a small squeeze. "He has my approval Izuku." Inko smiles making Izuku even more confused.
"I trust you to tell me if he hurts you and same goes for you, no hurting my brat." Mitsuki winks at him.
The freckled teen looks at Masaru pleading for any type of explanation of what they meant.
"Don't worry son, you'll understand soon enough." He reassures Izuku, who nodded, sighing in disappointment.
"I'm surprise you didn't go to this school party. If I remember well, I would have done anything to go at these events as a kid!" Mitsuki jokes making Izuku giggle and Inko sigh loudly knowing it probably had something to do with the bullying.
"There is always alcohol in those parties and I don't umm.. I really don't like alcohol." He gulps trying to keep a smile on his face.
"Oh.. It's.. Right.." She apologizes at Izuku who dismissed it quickly.
"Alcohol is just a bad advertisement. They show how fun it is on tv. They show how the first glass is only bitter, how two makes you feel calmer, that three you feel like everything is funny and don't realize your taking your four and your fifth. Next thing you know you're behind a wheel and.. and.." Izuku hadn't even realize that he was crying and his nails were piercing his own skin. "I-I'm so sorry. I-I'm just gonna.. Just gonna wash my hands.." Izuku mumbles watching the blood slowly slide down his palms and leaving for the bathroom, ignoring any other response that might have came after that.
He closed the door and locked himself in a stall bringing his legs against his chest. He could still see the face of the man, straight black hair that stopped at his shoulders. He was wearing shaded glasses, a stupid grin plastered on his face. Pale skin, like he was dead and how he never stopped his vehicle.
Without realizing Izuku took out his phone dialling a certain blonde's number.
It rang maybe three times, but he wasn't paying attention that much, until laughing could be heard on the other end. Izuku suddenly realizing it was a bad idea.
"Kacchan..?" Izuku asks under his breath.
"Wait- you're the slut right? What are you doing with my boyfriend's phone number!?" A girl asks on the other line, clearly drunk, and Izuku hanged up realizing it was a bad idea.
Kaminari.. Kaminari told him that he could call him whenever.. Maybe..
Before he even realized he was dialling the number.
"Izuku? Are you okay?" The other line asks worried.
"Are.. Are you drunk?" Izuku asks with a quiet sob.
"Nope! Why? Do I sound drunk?" Kaminari questions confused.
"Not at all, just making sure, hey, do you have maybe five minutes? Just need to change my thoughts.. If you can't it's-" Izuku's demand was cut short.
"No problem dude! Let me a sec, I'll go outside." Kaminari confirms cheerfully making the greenette sigh in relief. "So, what's up?" He asks sitting on the stairs in front of the mansion.
"Trauma I guess?" He answers unsure. "Just my undying love for alcohol.." Izuku says sarcastically making the teen on the other line chuckle.
"That's why you asked earlier, I thought I sounded drunk, not gonna lie was almost offended!" Kaminari laughs.
"God no, just making sure you're sober is all, caring for a friend, wouldn't want you guys to die too.." Izuku jokes sadly, hugging his legs closer against his chest, leaving an awkward silence. "Sorry.. That was unnecessarily dark.." Izuku exhales.
Kaminari smiles sadly looking at his black and yellow shoes. "Thanks for worrying, but I'll never take the wheel after drinking, even after only one glass." Kaminari reassures him making Izuku feel a weight taking off his shoulders.
"Good, just with Kacchan probably being drunk, considering his girlfriend is, then-" Kaminari cuts his explanation.
"Bakugo? Girlfriend?" He questions confused, wondering if he missed a chapter.
"Shocking, I tried calling him but a girl answered instead, she said he was her boyfriend." He explains a weird feeling in his chest.
"Bakugo has a Girlfriend??" He asks confused.
"That's what she told me." He confirms making Kaminari sigh loudly in discouragement as he looked around the front yard that was filled with drunk teenagers.
"I think I get why you hate alcohol." The blonde thinks out loud. "I personally don't drink because it goes against my adhd meds but now that I look around.. people are doing things they'll definitely regret once sober." He explains uncertain.
"Is.. Is that really Kacchan's girlfriend?" Izuku asks under his breath and Denki could hear the slight pain behind.
"I really don't think so, I'm pretty sure he probably just lost his phone." He responds honestly.
"And how did she know I was the one talking..?" He asks making Kaminari frown, Katsuki most likely had him under Deku as a contact name so he wasn't sure how she possibly could have known.
"I'll go check it out to make sure he isn't doing something he'll regret." Kaminari thinks out loud.
"Okay. I'll go back to dinner or they'll think I died or something-" He jokes sadly making Kaminari hum in agreement. "And thank you Denki.." Izuku smiles softly, gripping tightly to his phone.
"Anytime Izuku, have fun at dinner, I'll take care of things here and make sure everyone gets home safe. I'll text you." The golden haired boy says, getting up and stretching his neck creating a pop.
They hung up, Izuku staying in the stall taking a few breaths and Kaminari getting up on a mission.
He ran inside the house to find the blonde who didn't look drunk, just annoyed as fuck.
"Bakugo! Where's your phone!?" Kaminari shouts to the blonde since the music was too loud to have a normal conversation.
"Dunno." He growls looking in his pockets to realize it wasn't there anymore. "Ah shit." He curses getting up and Kaminari realized his friend reeked alcohol.
"Yeah, ah shit, Izuku thinks you have a girlfriend, some girl answered when he was calling." Kaminari's wingman role was taken very seriously at the moment.
"Why the hell was he calling!?" He questions annoyed as Kaminari takes out his phone.
"He was having a panic attack." He explains with a sad smile.
"Wait- some bitch got my fucking phone!?"
"Well, apparently." Denki repeats confirming that Katsuki wasn't sober, just isn't the agitated type of drunk. "I'm calling your phone." He warns dialling his friend's number.
Katsuki hums looking around noticing this one girl picking up and at the same time a voice resonates.
"I swear to god if it's that little slut again leave my boyfriend the fuck alone! Katsuki doesn't want to have anything to do with you!" She almost yells on the other line and it felt like any trace of alcohol in Katsuki's body left, starting to see red.
"No, this is Katsuki Bakugo speaking, now I'll nicely ask you to give my phone back before I send someone to beat your ass up." Katsuki warns taking Denki's phone and walking in the girl's direction who was frozen.
He presses the hanging up button glaring at her up and down. "Definitely not my type." He mocks grabbing his phone back. "A little too.. I don't know.. Bitchy and slutty." He adds with a dark aura surrounding him as the people around stopped everything to observe the scene.
"So you're defending that man whore who you get to sleep with everyday? Don't worry, we all know how he's only hanging out with you so you get easy fucks whenever you want." She says back acting confident and Katsuki used all his willpower to not beat her to a pulp on the spot.
"No, he's hanging out with us because he joined our crew, he's one of us. He's awesome, he's sweet, he's innocent and he isn't any of the shit you just said." Katsuki spats at her and by now many many had their phones out, filming the scene.
"But he's fucking gay!" She exclaims disgusted and there might be a handful of homophobes in this school but they weren't a majority. So that comment did annoy many in the room.
"Oh shoot really? That's definitely a problem, we might just have to kick him out!" He mocks her but she just smiled in victory, thinking she was winning.
"Ah shit, I forgot! I don't give a living fuck about that." He retorts taking a step forward but ends up laughing at her miserable face.
He turns to face the surrounding crowd who were watching the scene like if it was a reality show.
"And while I'm here, Leave Izuku the fuck alone. If any of you fuckers even lay a finger on him, I'll beat the shit out of you. He's mine and no one gets to touch what's mine." He warns them before walking away, leaving the party without a word, soon followed by the self proclaimed Bakusquad who were worried.
"Bakubro! Where are you going!?" Kirishima asks confused.
"I'm going to see Deku." Katsuki replies annoyed.
"Wasn't he going out with his mom?" Kirishima asks.
"I'll wait for him at his place." Katsuki replies turning to face them.
"Are you planing on telling him? Otherwise he might learn it online." Kirishima questions leaving Katsuki silent for a few seconds.
"No" Katsuki responds firmly. The truth is he was scared to, but he wouldn't admit it to either himself or anyone else.
They nod in understanding before Katsuki left them without another word.
♪ꨄ♫ꨄ♪
Izuku came back late immediately saying goodnight to his mother to go drop on his bed. Ever since the call he felt uneasy, he didn't know why he felt so hurt when the girl answered even tho it was most likely someone who stole his phone, he was still feeling the sting in his heart. From the idea of Katsuki having a significant other that.. wasn't him..
He slowly opened his room door to find someone laying in his bed, scrolling through his phone.
"Kacchan?? What are you doing here!?" Izuku questions after calmly closing the door.
"Needed to come see you." He answers blankly, putting his phone on the nightstand and motioning Izuku to come sit with him.
"Shouldn't you be with.. your.. your girlfriend?" He asks shakily, slowly walking over to his bed.
"What girlfriend? That bitch who stole my phone?" He asks with a scoff at the end. "I'm kinda offended you'd think I'd actually get with a bitch like that." He smirks pulling Izuku to his side.
"How did she know I was the one calling?" He asks unsure and probably if Katsuki was sober he wouldn't have showed him, but he wasn't so he had no shame in showing him.
"Call me." Katsuki orders and izuku does so confused. Katsuki showed him the screen of his phone revealing a picture of Izuku at the amusement park, smiling. Izuku chuckled hanging up.
"That explains it." He giggles smelling the slight odour of alcohol Katsuki was letting out which made Izuku sigh. "You drank..?" Izuku asks unsure realizing all these soft actions were probably the alcohol talking.
"Yeah, Denks told me you didn't like it so I made myself throw up most of it and brushed my teeth. But I guess it didn't work completely if you can still smell it.." Katsuki chuckles passing his hand through Izuku's green curls. "I'm sorry Izu, I can leave if you're uncomfortable with it." Katsuki offers and he sighs in relief when Izuku shakes his head no.
"You can stay the night, I'll sleep in the living room." He explains and blushes when Katsuki holds him from behind.
"Sleep with me.. please?" Katsuki asks pleadingly making Izuku giggle, still flustered.
"You'll regret it in the morning you know?" Izuku replies melting in Katsuki's touch.
"I won't regret it." Katsuki smirks nuzzling in Izuku's nape.
"Okay then." Izuku agrees calmly as he gets pulled back to lay facing the opposite way of Katsuki, being spooned.
"Tomorrow we're spending new years together, we're going to watch fireworks." Katsuki says not letting a no pass as an answer.
"Okay.." Izuku mumbles feeling himself being brought closer against Katsuki's chest.
They stayed silent and time passed both unable to actually sleep, wanting this to last forever.
"I think I'm falling in love with you.." Izuku whispers, convinced Katsuki was fast asleep.
Izuku smiled at the realization of the cause of these feelings and Katsuki felt like the world became surreal. But both didn't move, Katsuki simply getting this deceleration as a booster for his plans tomorrow.
But little did he know, there would be a little change of plans.
