Chapter 3 ~ Deku
"Long time no see Kacchan..."
"Deku..."
The two boys stared at each other bewildered not knowing what to express in that moment. "Well, well, well. You two look like you know each other!"
"Yeah..." Izuku says staring at Katsuki who was now smiling at him, but he felt a weird rage creep up behind him.
"Shall we get on with the rest of the tour?" Aizawa says clearly feeling the tension trying to diffuse some of it. Katsuki walks away with his mother and father along with Kirishima. Izuku stands there as the anxiety and memories come rushing back. A girl with short brown hair walked beside Izuku, touching his shoulder to get his attention. Izuku jumps slightly before sighing only seeing the girl.
"Are you okay?" The girl ask's.
"Oh, hey Ochako, yeah I'm fine." Izuku says sighing deeply.
"Who was that? And is your name actually Deku?" Ochako Uraraka ask's curiously.
"It's a nickname that means one who can't achieve or do anything. Deku no Bou... It means wooden doll and that boy you saw, he calls me it because I'm useless." Izuku says trailing off a bit at the end.
"Well, I think it sounds cute! It sounds like De-ki-ru! Like, you can do it. Which means you aren't useless, don't believe him. Hey!! Could I call you Deku from now on?" Uraraka says happily.
"Sure...?" Izuku says a little unsure on why she would want to. The two go back to work as Izuku mentally slaps himself for not remembering his old childhood friend Katsuki Bakugou. They were with each other until College. Izuku now learned that Katsuki was famous. When he entered the coffee shop he had no idea, how stupid could he get? Izuku starts to draw a picture roughly and was stressing over how to get the lines straight while thinking about how stupid he was. He was interrupted by a voice. He looks up and was face to face with a famous actor/artist named All Might. "A-A- M-MIGHT?!" Izuku says standing up in disbelief. "YOU ARE THAT FAMOUS ACTOR AND THE ARTIST OF MANY COMICS?! YOU ARE REAL?!"
"HAHHA, Yes I am kid! Mr. Aizawa sent me your way. I heard a lot about you and wanted to see for myself on how highly spoken you are." Izuku smiles as All Might utters those words. "Now, Why don't you show me around young man." Izuku gets up, walking around stuttering a bit while he shows All Might around the place. They soon walk into a big room with lots of art and photos being taken.
"This room i-is where people do lots of photo-shoots. Sometimes students come here to work on art, and I as well come here just to get out of my head but I usually use that back room over there." Izuku says pointing to a blue door in the corner of the big room. All Might smiles very impressed with Izuku already.
"Oi, Deku!" Katsuki says looking at All Might a little surprised.
"You must be Katsuki Bakugou! I've hear lots about your family business and I am happy to help you with anything!" All Might says shaking Katsuki's hand. "Now, Young Midoriya, I have to head off to talk with some of my colleagues but, I would love to see more of that amazing art of your's!" with that All Might leaves and Izuku smiles brightly before feeling a hand pull him into a dark corner where nobody could see. He was lightly thrown against the wall only to be met with Katsuki's older looking face.
"Why didn't you say anything at the Sweet Shit's place?" Katsuki says growling, but not as aggressive as he would have been years ago.
"Sweet Stuff, and I honestly had no ide-" Izuku starts but soon cut off.
"DON'T GIVE ME THAT BULLSHIT! YOU KNEW DIDN'T YOU?" Katsuki yells. Izuku's mouth drops not knowing how to say that he really didn't know.
"Listen, I-I really didn't know you... I have to admit you did look familiar but I never considered it was you..." Izuku says looking down fiddling with his hands. The two just stand there not saying anything. "I knew we wouldn't see each other anytime soon so I just kinda forgot about my whole past." a slight pinch. For some reason Katsuki was slightly hurt by those last words. He was about to say something until someone came around the corner interrupting them.
"Hey Bakubro! Oh, who is this?" It was Kirishima. Katsuki makes a 'tch' sounds and starts walking away.
"This is nobody important." Kirishima walks up to Izuku reaching his hand out.
"Sorry about him, he is like that a lot... Anyway, I'm Eijiro Kirishima!" Izuku shakes his hand introducing himself as 'Izuku Midoriya' and the two walk away doing their own business.
"Midoriya! I need you to take over the camera for me." Aizawa says seeming rushed.
"I don't think I am much of one for taking pictures." Izuku says slowly walking over to the camera that was pointed at a group of girls. The girls leave and Katsuki gets behind the camera staring intensely at Izuku knowing very well that he was about to be the one taking the pictures.
"I've seen you take pictures better than myself, you are more than well enough to do this job. I need you to finish this up for me, it will be probably around twenty minutes or so. I got an urgent call from the head of my department, I need to go. So please do this for me, thanks."
"Mr. Aizawa..." Izuku starts but he was already out the door.
"Come on shitnerd! Lets get a move on!" Katsuki says barking at him.
"Dude! Don't be so harsh!" Kirishima says. Izuku turns around sitting on the stool adjusting the camera to his height. He hears Katsuki huff and slightly shakes his head. Izuku gives them a thumbs up and they get in their positions. Izuku takes three photos for every pose. Time seemed to fly and it was soon an hour since he started taking pictures.
"That took longer than it needed." Katsuki says glaring in Izuku's directing. Izuku knowing this he scrunches up his face and sighs feeling the eyes burn through his back. Izuku packs up the camera knowing exactly what to do. Katsuki watches in a little bit of amazement but brushes it off. Katsuki soon hears Izuku's squeaky voice turning around. "What the hell do you want Deku?" Katsuki says very pissed off. Izuku pulls the phone out handing it to Katsuki expecting him to harshly swipe it away from him. Izuku then hears Katsuki mumble a thank you.
"What was that?" Izuku says.
"ARE YOU GOING TO MAKE ME REPEAT MYSELF NERD?" Katsuki says threatening him with a punch if he didn't get out of there. Izuku shakes his head furiously before swiftly taking the camera and taking back to the room it belonged in.
"So, why do you hate him so much?" Kaminari says suddenly walking up to Kirishima and Katsuki.
"BECAUSE HE IS AN ANNOYING NERD!" Katsuki yells. Katsuki knew there was something else there. He couldn't just say, 'my chest flutters and shit when I see him so I retaliate and push him away!'
"Well, he looks familiar, isn't he that one kid from that special art class? He looks a bit different not by much though. Aww man I should have asked for his number!" Kirishima says.
"NO!" Everyone looks at Katsuki confused.
"You can't pick my friends dude!" Kirishima says laughing a bit. Katsuki just realizes what he said and blushes a bit for some apparent reason. "You okay dude?"
"I'M FINE! I'm going home." Katsuki says.
"Don't forget, you have to pick who you want to photo-shoot with two weeks." Sero says walking up to Kirishima and Kaminari.
"I thought it was shorter than that." Katsuki says pissed.
"Well, I guess you have more time then." Sero says. With that Katsuki starts to walk out of the building and stops once he see's Izuku walking up to what he assumed was his car. People soon rush past him taking pictures and screaming his name. Some people from inside the facility walk out thinking this was their chance to see the Katsuki Bakugou. Katsuki runs up to Izuku's car opening the door and slamming it while locking it.
"DRIVE AWAY NERD!"
"Even after you technically threatened me back there?" Izuku snaps with a quirked brow.
"Oh my— Yes! Okay, it was wrong, I'm sorry, please drive away!" Katsuki pleads.
Izuku didn't ask any questions and drove away.
"What... was that?" Izuku asks. Katsuki cards a hand through his spiky hair and sighs.
"Nothing..." Katsuki bites back. Izuku grips the steering wheel tighter.
"Well if it was nothing, I can kick your ass out of my car." Izuku comes to a stop looking at Katsuki. Katsuki felt defeated and a little embarrassed if he was being honest. Izuku waits for an action but doesn't get one.
"Could you just take me anywhere else but here? Please..." Katsuki says leaning his head against the glass window. Izuku looked shocked and worried but started driving to his house. "Look, you know I'm famous now right?" Izuku nods his head keeping his eyes on the road. "Well... That was the paparazzi, and I need to step up my game in my mothers business. I am being put under a lot of pressure and those fans of mine won't quit. I deal with paparazzi everyday. On a good day I will only have to deal with fans asking me to autograph something or take pictures with them."
"So, basically, you're not able to get away from all the chaos?" Izuku asks glancing at Katsuki then looking back at the road.
"Yeah..." Katsuki felt oddly calm in Izuku's car. In anyone else's he probably would be yelling profanities out of anger and rage but this felt different.
"Well, I get it, believe it or not." Katsuki stares at Izuku and then looks down. Why was he being so calm? Why did everything change? "Things have changed. Between you and me." Izuku says.
"Yeah... they have." Katsuki says agreeing. "We need to talk..." Katsuki didn't know what he was doing at this point.
"Yes, yes we do." Izuku says before arriving at his house.
