Chapter 35

Kirishima's view:

With Katsuki still in my arms, I carefully rose from the cold floor and slowly made my way to my room, where I sat back down on my bed with Katsuki on my lap. Stroking the still slightly quivering body of the ash-blond haired man soothingly over his back and hair, I calmly murmured: "Do you want to tell me what drove you back to....naja you know.........I mean before you met with Inko everything was..yeah I wouldn't say perfect right now..but at least you didn't give the impression that you were going to relapse.....So maybe you would confide in me and tell me what happened?" At my words, however, Katsuki just stiffened, so I instantly gently pulled him a little closer to me and stroked his back reassuringly while murmuring softly in his ear: "Shhh...everything is fine! You're safe here....and if you talk to me, I can also make sure it stays that way forever, because then I can protect you....Shhhh..." But Katsuki just shook her head and muttered: "N-no....w-when I say w-what....d-do you do to me n-still.....I can't do that n-anymore!" Gently wiping away his tears that were once again welling up, I replied softly: "Please talk to me, Kats......I promise I will protect you! But in order to do that, I need to know what and more importantly who was responsible for your relapse.....so please...please talk to me!" Still slightly tense, Katsuki mumbled into my chest after a few minutes of silence, while his breathing accelerated with actually every second: "A-when I was a-going on my way back after T-meeting with I-inko...I a-got off on a not-so-busy street.....A-but I.........M-midori-......Midoriya intercepted me along with a couple of guys..." Having to suppress a low growl, I brought out between clenched teeth: "That fucking ...... Did he do anything to you or say anything to you?! Was he the reason why you wanted to end your life again?!" Nodding slightly, Katsuki continued quietly after taking another deep breath earlier: "He told me how stupid and fat I was, while his friends used my body several times!" Shocked, I stared at the blond-haired boy as he sobbed quietly: "I-I can't do this anymore!....H-if only I-had let I-inko bring me back.....O-or if I wasn't too d-stupid and I would have b-ended this a-all s-so long ago!......If I-weren't such a fucking failure-" Before Katsuki could finish speaking, I gently pushed his head up by the chin and joined our lips in a gentle kiss. And yes, I was aware that this was probably not the best decision in such a situation, but my brain simply stopped for a moment, which is why this kiss came as a result.
