Rewriting Their Story {Sequal to Change In Fates}

~Chapter 5~

Katsuki had tried to sleep that night, but failed to. Whenever he closed his eyes his mind would wonder to his second kidnapping. 

Yeah, there was two.

It was the beginning of Sophomore year. Not alot of the people knew it even happened. U.A. didn't want to risk getting shut down so they kept it quiet, but made sure they looked for Katsuki.

He was with the league for a month and they made sure it was hell. They made sure that he paid for his 'betrayal' and that he'd never forget about this kidnapping. 

And he didn't.

Katsuki turned in bed, facing the ceiling. He couldn't cuddle up to Kirishima and feel safe.

Would he ever feel safe with Kirishima, knowing that he knew everything? That he willingly was working with the league? 

Katsuki shook his head and stood, heading to the bathroom. He changed into his shorts, deciding maybe a swim could get his mind off of it all. 

It didn't.

As Katsuki swam laps in the pool, he found himself zoning out of focus and stopping every two or three laps. 

'You're skin is already so scarred, I wonder why, Explosion Boy?'

'Kat I love you, I'm so glad your safe-'

'Another round wouldn't hurt me, would it Slut?'

'Kacchan you look like hell!'

'Such a pretty little punching bag.'

Katsuki dunked his head under the water than pulled back up, shaking his head. 

"Kacchan?" 

Katsuki's head snapped to the side, meeting Izuku's gaze.

"What are you doing up, nerd?"

"I woke up to go to the bathroom and you weren't in your bed.."

"I needed to get my mind off everything."

Izuku sat down, dipping his toes into the pool, "You know you can talk to me Kacchan. We're a team.."

Katsuki ran a hand through his hair and pulled himself up, taking a seat beside Izuku. "I know nerd."

"Then talk to me, you big bully," Izuki playfully shoved him with a smile.

Katsuki chuckled, watching as he moved his toes through the water. 

"I just….I'm struggling with all this. So much pain, so much suffering that Kirishima knew about. He…."

Izuku put a hand on his shoulder, "I know. I can't imagine what's going on in your head. But I do know that I'm here, wether you like it or not."

"Thanks loser," Katsuki smiled. "I'm glad you didn't take that swan dive."

"Yeah, well, I'm glad you didn't join the league."

Katsuki stood and offered a hand to Izuku, "Can we go back to our room? I need some rest-"

"If you can rest."

"Would you let me finish so I can ask if you wanna try and help me sleep?"

"And how would I do that Kacchan?"

"Just...lay in bed with me, please. No holding, no touching, just...lay on the other side of the bed. The last time I slept without someone in the same bed as me was…"

"Before the second kidnapping?" Izuku looked at him as they began to head to their room. 

Katsuki simply nodded, "Yeah."
