《The Bookstore》Chapter 18
Advertisement
A loud clang came from the other room, making Akio flinch, 'what the hell was going on?' He thought, getting up off the loveseat.
Akio moved swiftly over to the kitchen, hiding behind the door frame where he wasn't visible.
He could see Izuku picking a tray off of the floor, he must have dropped it.
It was weird, Izuku was acting weird.
Ever since he had that one phone call with Kirishima, which Akio may or may not have overheard, Izuku had been acting sort of strange.
Well Izuku had always been strange but right now he was walking around without his hearing aids, not giving a shit about what loud noises he might make and Akio just wants to read his books in peace.
When he means books, he means the manga he stole from Izuku's collection, but with his consent, because if not he would be dead.
Akio walks over to the counter and grabs his hearing aids, walks over to Izuku who was picking up the mess from earlier, and pulled him up.
Izuku took them from his hands with a huff and put them in.
"What do you want?" He asks, picking up the tray again and walking over to the trash can to throw them away.
"You've been acting strange for the past few days and I'm worried about you."
"I don't know... I just keep thinking about something, I-i don't really want to talk about it though," Izuku mumbles.
"It's alright if you don't want to talk about it, when you're ready, I'll always be there," Akio says, "And keep your hearings on, you're fucking loud."
Izuku smiles a little bit, "Well maybe I can talk about it."
Akio tries not to laugh, "Well alright, I'm listening. I want to know everything and don't spare any details."

"Well it all started a couple days ago when I was on the phone with Kirishima, I called him to apologize for making out with his future husba-"
"What the fuck, I swear... You always do this shit, first, you become besties with Red Riot, turns out you were childhood friends with my favorite pro hero, you got all lovey dovey with that asshole Shindou, which by the way came over yesterday while you were at work asking to see you, and you made out with FUCKING KAMINARI?" Akio was practically shouting.
"What the fuck did Shindou want?" Izuku asked, now they were completely off topic.
"I don't know, he wanted to see you," Akio huff, "He was kind of an asshole so I told him to fuck off and that you already have a boyfriend."
"You what? Why the fuck did you say that for?"
"I didn't like him and you obviously deserve better."
"So your solution was to just tell him I'm in a relationship even though I'm not?"
"Yep," Akio says, popping the 'p.'
"Whatever, honestly I was just going to hook up with him a couple times and then leave," Izuku grabbed a mug off the kitchen counter and walked over to the sink to go wash it off.
"Pfft, how rude," Akio snickers, "Now go back to what we were talking about before, what did you talk about with Kirishima, I wanna know."
Izuku comes back with some coffee in his hands, they both sit at the counter as Akio waits for his answer.
"I don't know what I was thinking," Izuku says calmly, "I got really drunk that night and I don't remember shit until Kiri told me what happened."
"Go on..."

Izuku frowns, "To sum it up, I think my drunk ass was trying to make out with Katsuki, not Kaminari."
Akio's eyes were now blown wide open, "Izuku... Are you trying to tell me something?"
Izuku frowned, "Shut up, you asked. It means nothing though."
Obviously something was up, if it meant nothing then why was Izuku acting so weird.
Akio smirked, he knew for a fact that Katsuki had the hots for him but before he didn't have a clue about Izuku.
Now that Izuku admitted that, he could finally get those two together.
When that happens then Izuku would finally stop bringing assholes like Shindou back to their dorm.
Oh yeah, he gets to see his favorite hero everyday.
"What are you smirking about?"
"I just think it's funny that you keep denying it."
"Shuddup."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Izuku was rethinking everything at the moment.
He couldn't believe that he actually tried making out with Katsuki, well that's what he thinks.
There was no other reason that he would be mumbling that stupid childhood nickname and going up to Kaminari to make out with him.
Akio kept making it worse though, winking at him every chance he gets, asking if Izubaku was better or katsuku.
What is this?
Izuku couldn't stop thinking about it though, maybe Katsuki was really, REALLY hot.
Maybe he was built like a greek god with his muscles bulging out of that tight shirt he wore to Kirishima's house.
Maybe he actually apologized unlike most of the other kids he went to middle school with.
He did drive him home the other day when he was drunk, he only stayed the night because he asked him to though.
Izuku's face flushed at the other possibilities that could have happened.
But Katsuki was still the reason that Izuku was deaf and that he had to work a part time job to pay for hearing aid because his mother had a low paying job.
At the same time Katsuki was just a stupid kid.
Izuku pulls at his hair, he already accepted his apology though!
And how would he know whether Katsuki returned those feelings.
He didn't know if it was just the guilt that Katsuki was being so nice to him, because they had a rough childhood.
Katsuki has obviously changed a lot and he didn't know if it was just because he's a hero now or that he just realized that he shouldn't treat everyone like shit because they're weaker than him.
Izuku lays down on his bed thinking.
Why was this so hard?

Cover Art: Undead Master by Changling Assassin. Located at: http://fav.me/dbm60ex Used under license Creative Commons attribution non-commercial 3.0 per bottom right of the linked page. Summary: Just the story of a necromancer and his eventual army. Currently, the only major thing of note is a pretty fleshed out magic system. No set list of spells or specific incantations. Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.

Marakar
Far from the exploration he yearned to go on, Rae, the Kijah prince, finds himself in the middle of the impending war between Kijah'dar and Ga'ani. Unknown to him, or to the rest of the states, the Kijah Magister plots to overthrow the queen, and he will stop at nothing to achieve his plans. Marakar is a fantasy adventure series about the island states of Mar’narana (with focus primarily on the two states, Kijah'dar and Ga'ani). Tensions between the big players are rising, with more and more plots getting revealed, and powers are unexpectedly shifting. As the string of seemingly unconnected events grows taut, the smaller nations suddenly find themselves into the midst of things, struggling with the sudden shifting of their boards. On a more meta note, I am trying to develop two storylines parallel to each other. As you might have noticed, odd-numbered chapters are very different from even-numbered chapters. That’s because those are the two different storylines; odd-numbered chapters are in the present, while even-numbered ones are in the past. Once the two eventually meet I'll continue with just the present storyline. This story can also be found here where it currently updates every other Sunday (about twice a month). Feedback is greatly appreciated! Thank you for taking the time to read. :) tw/cw list (please take care of your mental health! Don't force yourself to read these chapters if they may harm you). -------> Chapter 14: hate crime description.

His memory has been tampered with, so everything he sees could be either real or fake. Instead of a smooth recovery, he is thrown right into war. What would become of him in the end? Broken. (Taking place a little over halfway through the Mockingjay book and after the movie Mockingjay Part 1) This is a somewhat sequel to the other story I wrote called Hijacked, but I think you could read this without reading the other one. This story and these characters are owned by Suzanne Collins, not me (obvi)
