[Sometime early July after the events at the opening of Celliwig to Camelot's relations... Izuku has a lot on his mind. A lot as in something happened there between him and Ochako. Leaving Izuku with a bit of a distracted mindset for a few days. Feeling a little numb and unable to sleep, wondering how he's supposed to deal with any of this.
How did this happen, anyway. To Midoriya Izuku? He never expected anything like having a girl like him and a new boyfriend at the same time. This is all so hard to deal with...
And Ochako's reaction, how much she cried... What is he supposed to do?
He's sitting there, with a glass in his hand as he doesn't drink his water.]
[ Now Bakugou can tell that something is unsettling the nerd. He's pretty much aware of it since they're constantly in each other's spaces. The blonde shares a bed with him even. So yes, he knows something's up. This time he'll wait until Deku comes to him. He will come to Katsuki.
Just like right now. ]
I figured you would be.
[ He looks up. Glances at the water that hasn't even been touched. ]
[He struggles with it slightly, at first. Not one to really keep something like this from Katsuki if he can help it. But it's still hard to bring up. The way that it happened, the weight that it's put on Izuku's shoulders...
Izuku isn't looking at the other boy. His eyes are downcast as he chews nervously on his lip.]
Y-yeah. [Katsuki's keen as ever.] Ahh... Uraraka-san, the other week...
[ Oh... Oh they are going to have that sort of conversation. Though Bakugou frowns. Had Deku... Not actually. Noticed? ]
Surprised she managed to do that even with magic.
[ Look, Katsuki sees a lot more shit than what people realize. He's always just lingering in the background. Somehow ignored? However that's not really the point. The point here is that Izuku is clearly upset by it. ]
You don't like the fact you didn't return her feelings or what?
[ Deku told her about them though. That's... He doesn't know how to parse THAT at the moment. ]
[He hadn't noticed, he thought they were just friends. He thought maybe a while ago he had a crush on Ochako but things, of course, changed...! And then all of Izuku's brainpower filled with thoughts of Katsuki...
Izuku frets, looking upset like Katsuki guesses. He nods.]
She b-belted out a song about it- erm... two songs.
[It was kind of magical in the moment even if the subject was so sad in the end.]
And she cried... I told her how I felt about it and she cried... I didn't mean to hurt her like that. I just didn't know what else to do but tell her the truth. I think she ended up accepting it in the end but I still didn't want to see her cry because of me.
[He's glancing at Katsuki like he's not sure what his reaction is going to be.]
[ What kind of reaction should Deku expect Katsuki to have? He understands why the nerd is kind of having feelings about it, but in the end they both made their choices. ...Or is it- ]
Do you regret it then?
[ Since it had made his best friend so upset. A best friend that could have been something more if not for Katsuki. Look, he is prone to his own nasty thoughts too. ]
You can't please everyone Deku. Especially when it comes to shit like this. You were gonna break someone's heart in this case.
[ Though with Katsuki the nerd might never have known. Of course he doesn't think he would have lost his composure about it either. That's not talking down to Ochako at all. She's not a fragile girl. She just deals with things differently than Katsuki and there's nothing wrong with that. ]
'Cause I'm your boyfriend and I deserve to know that the conversation happened.
[He really didn't know. He didn't think anyone would like him like that until it was absolutely clear with Katsuki. And even that was a struggle to really realize and accept. It's not that he's oblivious, he just never thought he'd really be that kind of boy to someone. He's just plain Deku, after all.
He gets a bit red in the cheeks and nods.]
Yeah. That's right. I think she'll be able to get through it. But I don't want it to be awkward for the three of us.
[They're all friends and classmates at the end of the day. And Izuku really does appreciate the three of them getting more time to hang out. She is strong. Just the motions of it all...]
[ Technically he's not just "that kind of boy" to someone. To several someone's. It really doesn't surprise Katsuki at all. The only reason that the nerd didn't have prospects in middle school is likely because of Bakugou bullying him. There's those stupid freckles and too bright eyes.
And Deku has what is traditionally referred to as that "cute" sort of personality. Personally, Bakugou finds the fiery one more to his tastes, but hey. ]
I ain't gonna start shit if that's what you're worried about.
Don't worry, I'm not worried about something like that...
[Izuku knows that the two of them can handle themselves and can talk about whatever they need to. Honestly, it might help things if Katsuki and Ochako did talk a little. He wonders about that. If they actually would...? It still makes Izuku feel nervous, though.]
I'm surprised that it happened, that's all. Ahh...
[ The communication thing is getting better. Somewhat. They can actually have a serious discussion about things of this nature.
Just not usually their feelings. Apparently that's where they draw the line. And who knows when Katsuki might start getting defensive or flip the switch back to being rude as a means to deflect from the seriousness of it all. ]
Like I said... I'm actually somewhat im-fucking-pressed.
Yeah... She put something important to her out on the line... It must have taken a lot of courage to do something like that.
[Which is also why he had wanted to be honest to her. Even if it hurt. Putting something in your heart out into the world... It takes a lot of bravery.]
[ It does. Honestly Bakugou would say that they're all far braver than him on that account. He's not even really capable of expressing his feelings. Not his real feelings anyway. Katsuki, to this day, hides everything under his bluster - positive and negative emotions. ]
[ It shouldn't change how anyone interacts with one another. However, emotions are funny things. How people deal with those emotions vary too. Katsuki isn't sure how he'd deal with it all, but honestly? It probably wouldn't be gracefully. ]
Yeah well... What else was I supposed to do? Tell you to fuck off?
[He can only imagine how the conversation would have happened if it were Katsuki and Ochako from the start. That would give Izuku anxiety just thinking about it.
Izuku glances at Katsuki and smiles, a light sigh on his lips.]
[ Yeah, that conversation might not have happened. Literally. Bakugou might have refused to speak on it, if only because it wouldn't be his place to say anything. Not only that, it wouldn't have really have been her business. ]

Oi. Look up at me when you're talking.
[ Whatever happened between them? It's nothing to be ashamed by and Deku shouldn't hang his head. ]

Date: 2021-07-27 12:42 am (UTC)[He looks up, looking a little teary-eyed as he remembers everything that happened. The crescendo of her music and her songs. How she cried...]
The other week... Uraraka-san told me she had feelings for me.
[Izuku looks a little torn up. But he doesn't seem to be overly sad. Anxious and still struggling with it, but not overly sad.]
She told me in a song. I think there was magic at work but... it was real. I- I told her how I felt about you.
no subject
Date: 2021-07-27 02:08 am (UTC)Surprised she managed to do that even with magic.

N-no! I don't regret it! I thought it was important to tell her the truth about how I felt! I just didn't want to hurt her?
[But that was inevitable.]
I don't think there's anything to do. I just... wanted to tell you what happened. Because you're my...
[The one he likes.]
