《The Bookstore》Chapter 20

"Mmph- what are you doing Izuku?" Akio asks, his toothbrush sticking out of the side of his mouth.

"I'm flipping these stupid pillows of yours," he said as he was on all fours on top of Akio's bed.

"What's wrong with my Dynamight pillows?" Akio asks confusedly, taking the toothbrush out of his mouth.

"They keep staring at me, no matter where I walk around in this room," Izuku grumbled as he flipped a pillow that had the chibi version of his childhood friend. "I'm doing god's work."

"Fuck you bro…"

“Shut up ya fuckin virgin," Izuku spat before he went back to flipping the pillows around. “Im just trying my best not to think about him right now, every corner I turn I see his stupid face.”

“Yeah stupidly handsome,” Akio jokes.

“Hush, it's hard, ok? I don't know what to do with these feelings… Am I supposed to just go up to him like, oh hey Kacchan I had an explicit dream about you and I keep thinking about you, lets date now,” Izuku smacked his hand over his mouth at what he just said.

“YOU WHAT?” Akio yells flings himself next to him, “You had a dream where you and Dynamight fucked?”

“I said I had an explicit dream about him,” Izuku clarified glaring at him, “And shut up, knowing your obsession you've probably had one too.”

Akio just rolled his eyes.

“And we didnt ‘fuck,’ we just kind of made out in the dream…” He grumbled as he played with one of his curls.

“That's not really explicit then… It's more PG-13, and you freaked out over making out with a smoking hot hero in a dream? What about the random dudes you would suck off behind the bars? Bakugous making you go crazy.”

Izuku turned red and contained himself from strangling him, “Shut up! And also those dudes didn't go to elementary school and they didn't bully me as a kid!”

“Your right bu-“

“No buts, shush. I'm going on a walk, you're annoying me,” Izuku huffed, shoving his hands in his pants and walking towards the door, "And I gotta go to work."

When Izuku left Akio started flipping his pillows back around.

Some part of him is really happy about Izuku, he was so different when he first met him.

He always thought that Izuku hated him but he was wrong.

Nowadays he tells him almost everything that happens in his life, even though he’ll call him annoying or bothersome.

Akio just loved that their friendship was growing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The bell rang with a loud jingle as Katsuki opened the door to the bookstore.

He took a deep breath, today he was going to talk to Izuku, he was going to confess his feelings.

Katsuki wasn't good at feelings, like at all.

Throughout high school he never has any 'crushes' on anyone before other than Izuku.

He decided that dating and crushes would get in the way of becoming a hero.

Well that and he never developed romantic feelings for anyone after middle school.

He hated that the media portrayed him as a sex god that goes around fucking every woman he ever talked to.

Most missions involved talking to girls around his age to get information or the girls from his high school like Mina and Uraraka who he talked to sometimes.

They would lose their shits and write a bunch of articles just on the fact that he was seen with someone and every interview had to do with if he was dating someone or not.

Even if he denied all of them.

He would never admit this out loud but Katsuki was a virgin.

Yeah, its kind of sad but he wasn't the type of person to have sex with someone he wasn't in a romantic relationship with.

The closest thing he's done was the kiss he received from Camie.

Ugh wonder how the media would say if they found out I'm not actuallt the sex god they portray me as.

"You just going to stand there all day Mr. Dynamight or are you going to try to find another romance novel on 'people with green hair and blond hair?'" The redhead from the last time he visited the bookstore said with an obvious sarcastic tone.

"Yeah, I'm just wondering if De- I mean Izuku is working right now," Katsuki says.

"Why do you want him?" The redhead asked, crossing his arms obviously unimpressed.

"I just need to talk to him."

"He's not here."

"What? Are you serious? The day that I decide to come to his workplace," Katsuki grumbles.

"No he just has a later shift today because he has morning classes, he'll be here soon though if you have enough patience to wait," He said, cleaning off his hands with a towel. "Mr. Dynamight, here to flirt with Midoriya again."

"I'm not here to flirt," Katsuki spats.

"Yeah that better be true, your flirting skills are shit. I thought you were some sort of flirty sex god and honestly I'm kind of dissapointed."

"Ugh, that's not who I am," Katsuki grumbled.

"Well sorry for assuming," he said.

Katsuki walked up to the other man to read his name tag, it read "Nishimoto."

"Well, if you're going to stay then you can hang out over by the cafe, there's a bunch of girls over there making googly eyes at you. Give them autographs or something, I don't care. I'll tell Midoriya you're here." Nishimoto says gesturing over to the cafe.

Sure enough there's a bunch of teenage girls staring at him, all with the same crazed look in their eyes.

What the fuck?

Katsuki strolled over to the nearest table and tried his best not to look towards them.

Who knows what's going to happen if he makes eye contact.

When he finally sat down, he pulled out his phone to act like he was doing something productive.

He opened up Instagram and decided to check his account.

His instagram account isn't actually run by him, he doesn't remember her name but someone who works at his agency posts pictures of him on there.

Maybe once a month he'll add a selfie of himself flipping off the camera to his story or something.

Katsuki opened the camera and took a quick snap of himself, positioning himself so that a bookcase in the background could be seen.

When he was satisfied with the selfie he posted it on his story and closed his tab.

There was a familiar jingle as the front door of the bookstore opened and a slightly cheerful voice said, "Good morning Nishimoto," Katsuki spun around his seat.

He was greeted by the sight of Izuku tieing a brown apron around his back then afterwards waving at Nishimoto.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

"There's someone waiting for you over there," Nishimoto says as Izuku adjusted the Apron around his neck so it didn't hang too low.

"Huh? What do you mean?"

Nishimoto points over at the cafe where Izuku's eyes follow and lands on a familiar tuff of blond hair and ruby red eyes staring at him.

Oh god, Izuku wasn't ready to face him, not yet.

All he wanted to do was get him off his mind but here he was, sitting at his workplace.

His first reaction was to run.

And that's what he did.

Lol sorry for the late update, not actually though.

I wanted to make a 6000 word one shot, which took up most of my week, if anyones interested there's a link to ao3 in my conversations thing or whatever its called. But it has chapter 306 spoilers so if you haven't read the manga but still wants spoilers then read on ahead.

Anyways yeah, I want this story just a little longer. The last chapter is most likely when they confess and I'm not exactly ready for this story to end just yet.
