⋆౨ৎ˚⟡˖ ࣪ April 5th : I Loved You Last Spring
A year prior, right before graduation Katsuki and Eijiro were almost inseparable. Although they never officially dated, they did thins couples tended to do, Eijiro was even apart of the band for a while until one night, he messed up.
Just as the crowd began getting amped up, singing along to Mina's voice, Eijiro's guitar wasn't tuned correctly. The entire performance it was out of key, and that pissed Katsuki off.
Once they were all backstage he went off, pointing out every single mistake everyone made out there.
"Your pitch was off the entire time. I'm so fucking tired of you guys fucking up out there, fix it or this shit's over.", He stormed off outside to get a breath of fresh air
Eiijro followed close behind, his eyes watery, tears threatening to fall.
"Bakug—", Eijiro was harshly cut off by a gaze from Katsuki that was almost piercing.
"Get your bullshit together, shitty hair.", Katsuki muttered, only to be met with an aggressive backlash from Eijiro. "No, you're so childish, why do you keep acting like this?"
With tears streaming down his face, thin red strands stuck to his face. His body tremors, it shakes with anger and sadness. "You never had a shot at this shit anyway. Just go home." Katsuki muttered out while walking down the stairs and to his car.
For a moment, Eijiro just stood there, his heart hurt. With a heavy head hung low, he went back inside and plopped down on the dressing room couch, Mina and Denki sitting there both concerned.
"Dude what happened?", Denki sat down next to him and slung his arm over Eijiro's shoulder. Neither Mina nor Denki have ever seen him cry, he's always been upbeat and happy yet now, tears were falling uncontrollably from his eyes.
He lifted his hips slightly to grab his phone from his back pocket, unlocking it with the password that was set with Katsuki's birthday.
His tears and sobs blurred his vision and breathing difficult but he opened his messages nonetheless. Katsuki's messages were the most recently messaged, pinned at the top.
"are you breaking up with me?" He typed, but didn't send. He had figured he would've been blocked and just turned his phone off instead.
˚ ༘ ೀ⋆。˚ 12:04 : It Was Just a Kiss, Right?
Izuku already made his way back to the apartment, Tsuyu and Ochako still watching their movie. "I'm.. home you two." He spoke, his voice evident of being shaken up.
"Oh! Hi 'Zu! We made lunch, hungry?" Ochako was mixing a small pot on the stove with a wooden spoon, apron tied around her waist in the back with a bow.
"Where'd you run off to, Midoriya?" Tsu questioned, turning around on the couch to sit on her knees while leaning over the back of the couch.
He slipped off his shoes and put them neatly next to the other pair, looking up at Tsu, debating on if he should answer her question honestly.
"Just.. needed some air."
Tsu blinked slowly, not fully believing him, "Have you been.. crying?"
Ochako glanced over her shoulder, concern flickering briefly across her face before she forced a small and soft smile. "Well, air's certainly nice, but food's better. Have a seat, alright?"
She placed the pot on the table and set out 3 bowls. He nodded absently, walking towards the table before slumping down in a seat next to Tsu. His fingers gently traced the wooden pattern of the beat up table, gifted to him by his mother when they first moved into that apartment.
As he sat, all he could do was think. He couldn't stop replaying Katsuki's words and how his voice sounded – hoarse, broken, shaky. It wasn't the same cocky kid he grew up with. This change shook Izuku to the core in a way he couldn't even begin to admit.
Just as he went to pick up his chopsticks, his phone buzzed in his hoodie pocket. As he pulled it out of his pocket, it lit up with a notification from Katsuki. A new message with an apology.
"Please, just pick up. I'm sorry."
Katsuki had never been one to apologize. To read an apology from him made Izuku feel worse, his breath caught up in his throat. He didn't click on the notification, but Ochako saw it.
"I'll be back, don't wait up."
"'Zuku, don't–" Ochako started but couldn't bring herself to stop him, he was already up from the table and already headed back to his bedroom.
He gently shut the door behind him, stepping into his dim room, the heavy curtains shut. He sat down on the edge of his bed, phone in hands as his thumb hovers over the unopened notification.
His mind flashed through all of the unsent messages he had saved in his notes, things he so desperately wanted to tell him, but just couldn't bring himself to.
Instead of sending a message to Katsuki, he scrolled through his contacts and found Eijiro's number and began drafting a message.
"Hey! It's been a while hasn't it? We should meet up at the park! Maybe tmrw at 3?"
