Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco.

What’s up?

Shinsou Hitoshi.

Huh?

Shinsou fucking Hitoshi.

What about him?

I hate him.

Oh, no. What happened?

He fucked me.

Huh?

He put his dick in my ass. He made me come.

Wh—

He made me come, Ochaco! And I didn’t explode! He—

Wait, wait, hold on. You didn’t explode?

Yeah, he fucking hypnotized me! He dicknotized me!

Are you talking about his quirk?

Yes!

Oh, wow. I didn’t know he could do that. That’s cool!

Yeah, but Ochaco. Listen. He’s a fucking bastard, okay?

Okay?

He got all commanding and shit.

Oh.

He’s annoying and—and fucking disrespectful. He grabbed me by the fucking throat and shoved me against the wall. And then he called me a good little cockslut. Out loud. To my face. I don’t know who the hell he thinks he is, but he’s a fucking bastard! And his cock is way too big!

I see.

I hate him.

I mean… You still had sex with him, didn’t you?

He said he could make me come without exploding. Obviously I still had sex with him. Doesn’t mean I don’t hate him.

Right.

He pinned me down! Like I was a feral animal that needed to be restrained!

Were you?

Ochaco!

Katsuki.

He was pissing me off. He can’t just fucking tackle me. I hate him.

Do you really?

Yes.

Katsuki.

Fucking what?!

You liked it, didn’t you?

...

Katsuki?

Yeah. I liked it. Fuck.

Chapter Text

Ochaco.

Katsuki, if you don’t stop texting me how much you hate Shinsou-kun, I’m gonna tell him to text you.

Are you insane?

Just text him already! Be a man!

I did!

Again!

Ochaco, I’m not texting him again. He’s ghosting me.

You don’t know that. Maybe he’s busy.

He’s ghosting me.

Hm. And are you gonna let him?

I’m… Fuck you.

I’m engaged, but thanks! Good luck!

Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco. What if…

Hm?

What if he—I don’t know. Never mind. Fuck him.

What are you talking about?

If Shinsou doesn’t wanna fuck me anymore, I’m not gonna run after him. I’m not a fucking loser. I don’t need him. I can fuck—

Katsuki.

—anyone I want. I don’t need anyone to fuck me, least of all him. He’s a dick and he—

Katsuki. Take a breath.

It’s been almost a week, Ochaco. He didn’t even send a “hey” or anything, and he ignored my fucking text.

I know.

He’s ghosting me.

Look, I don’t know what he’s thinking, but I know you. You want him. Yes, you could have sex with anyone you want, but you want him. And unless he was lying about texting you, he wants you, too. Based on what you told me, I don’t think he was lying, so you’re not a loser for thinking he still wants you until he literally tells you he’s changed his mind. You want this, so don’t give up before he’s even had a chance to tell you how he feels.

Well, maybe he doesn’t wanna tell me how he fucking feels. Maybe he thinks it’s fucked up that I wouldn’t even have sex with him if he couldn’t make me come without exploding.

You wouldn’t?

...

Would you actually turn him down if you didn’t need him for that?

I… No.

Then I don’t think you need to worry about that.

He doesn’t know that, though.

You could tell him.

Not if he won’t fucking talk to—

Text him!

Ugh! Fine! Bye!

Bye!

Chapter Text

Ochaco.

Katsuki, please tell me you texted him.

Yeah. Fucker said he was busy.

See? What did I tell you?

Yeah, well, he could’ve said so. Instead of ignoring me and being vague as fuck about it. I had to chase him down. Caught him slumming it with Sero. Asshole.

Is he still interested, though?

Yeah, he’s still interested. Started flirting with me in front of Sero.

Oh, that’s good. Did you pick a date for next time?

We already fucked.

Last night?

Yeah.

Oh. Wow. Okay. How was it?

My ass hurts.

So… good, then?

Ochaco, he fucking spanked me. And then they edged me so hard my legs stopped working. It was fucking embarrassing. Ugh.

They?

Sero was there. He fucked me, too.

Oh, my God.

What?

Oh, nothing. I just love you.

Uh-huh.

Really!

Okay. Love you, too.

Hold on. My Himiko-chan senses are tingling. I’ll call you back.

Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco. You forgot to call me back.

Oh, right. Sorry about that. Himiko-chan caught a rat.

Excused.

Thank you. Where were we?

You’re behind already. Shinsou texted me.

What did he say?

Asked a million fucking questions.

About what?

About the… Fuck, I gotta tell you about last night first.

Okay. Tell me.

Well, I just wanted to know what it looks like. You know, when he uses his quirk on me. ‘Cause he said it was kinda freaky. So I asked him to film it. He thought that meant he could film the whole thing.

Oh.

Yeah. He’s got, like, 25 minutes of me getting jerked around.

Oh…

And it wasn’t just him.

Right. Sero.

Yeah. They were both riling me up and making fun of me and shit. Talking about me like I wasn’t there. Sero used his tape to fucking restrain me.

That sounds like… a lot.

Yeah, it was.

But good?

No. Yeah. I don’t know.

It just… fucks with my head. He’s so…

So what?

He makes my fucking blood boil. Nobody’s ever talked to me like that, Ochaco. Nobody’s ever played with me like that. Like I’m a fucking toy. It’s weird. It’s fucked up.

What?

I just… Sorry, I can’t tell if you like it but don’t know how to, like, verbalize that, or if you’re just… I don’t know, experiencing a lot of new things? And not sure how to feel about it?

Fuck—I don’t know. Both? I don’t…

Fuck, it’s bad enough that I have to talk about this shit with him. Just—fuck off, Ochaco.

Katsuki, wai—

Chapter Text

Ochaco.

Katsuki. Please don’t hang up on me and decline all my calls.

Sorry. I needed to think.

Okay… Excused.

Thanks.

Does that mean you’re done thinking?

Yeah, I…

I do like it. I wouldn’t let him do all that shit if I didn’t. But I’m not used to it, and it’s…

I don’t know. It’s just really fucking overwhelming, ‘cause it’s the opposite of what I normally like and I don’t know why I fucking like it. I don’t know how to respond, either. I don’t even know how I should respond. And he takes it so fucking seriously.

Well, that’s good, right?

Tch. He sure thinks so. Fucking scolded me for not taking it seriously. I just…

What?

Well, he clearly knows what he’s doing. And I…

You feel inexperienced?

I—yeah. I guess.

Good.

Bitch, y—

No, listen! It’s good that he makes you feel inexperienced because that means he’s experienced! I mean, I would hope so, if he’s doing all this stuff. You get me? I’d scold you for not taking it seriously, too. I don’t want you to get hurt.

Tch. I won’t get hurt.

Katsuki.

Fuck off. He can’t hurt me. I’m a fucking hero.

So am I, but I wouldn’t like it if someone pushed my limits.

I do. That’s how you get stronger.

Okay. Well. As long as you don’t let him push you too far. Don’t overdo it. I’m sure he doesn’t mind that you’re not as experienced.

Guess not. He asked if I wanted to be his sub.

Oh. I, uh… I don’t know what that means.

You know, when you’re doing kinky shit, you’re dominant or submissive. He’s a dom, and he asked me if I wanted to be his sub.

I see. That’s pretty serious.

Told you.

I mean, that’s basically a relationship.

It’s… I guess.

And? What did you say?

I said yes. But he’s gotta ask his other sub first.

He has another sub?

Yeah. Monoma.

Huh. I guess that makes sense. Maybe you should talk to Monoma-kun, then.

About what?

About Shinsou-kun.

What the fuck would we talk about? The circumference of his cock?

Katsuki.

I fucked him once, you know? Massive brat. Guess that’s what Shinsou likes, ‘cause the fucker was—

Katsuki.

Yeah, I’ll talk to him.

Good.

Whatever. How’s Smiley?

Oh, she’s fine. She got lucky. No diseases. I’ll tell her you said hi.

Tell her to stop eating rats.

It was a very cute rat.

Was it?

That’s what she said.

Your fiancée’s a nutcase. I’ll come by tomorrow and say hi myself.

Okay! See you tomorrow!

See you.

Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco, I…

What?

I might be an idiot.

What? Why?

Did you know people were betting on whether they could fuck me?

Huh? Who’s betting on that? What’s wrong with them?!

Well, Shinsou was one of them.

Oh.

He doesn’t know what’s wrong with him, either. He thought I was gonna kill him when he told me. I almost did.

I’m surprised you didn’t.

Yeah.

I can see why you think you might be an idiot.

For not killing him? Fuck, no. I’m even more of an idiot than that.

Why?

After he apologized, I told him to get me a drink and explain to me what to expect from being in a fucking BDSM relationship with him. We went over all of our boundaries and kinks and shit. We made plans to have our first session in a week.

Right. Okay. That’s… Yeah.

Yeah.

I mean, if that’s what you want…?

...

Katsuki?

...

Are you still there?

Yeah.

Do you wanna call back later?

No, I just—I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing, Ochaco. I don’t…

What?

I don’t get him. Fuck, I don’t think anybody does. Even Sero said he doesn’t know what goes on inside his head, and Sero’s his best friend or whatever. And he’s so… He’s like a fucking zombie. You know what I’m talking about. You’ve seen him.

Yeah, but what does that have to do with this?

It’s just—he’s so lifeless. Except when he’s cracking jokes. But he wasn’t like that when we fucked. He was, like… fuck, I don’t know. Different. Confident. He’s good at this shit and he knows it. He’s serious about it, too. He cares about doing shit right. So I thought he was, like… Ugh. Fuck it. I just don’t understand why he’d fuck me to win a bet. It makes no sense.

Well… I don’t know him as well as Sero-kun, but he seems like a good person. I mean, I’ve never heard of doing something like this. And he worked so hard to prove he could be a hero with a “villain quirk.” And he did. He’s one of the most respected heroes in Japan—behind the scenes, at least. The fact that he doesn’t care about public recognition speaks to his character as well, I think.

I know, but…

But he hurt you?

I’m not hurt. I’m just… angry. And confused.

So, what?

I wish he didn’t tell me.

You wish he didn’t tell you?

No, I… Fuck. I don’t know. I’m glad he told me, obviously. Well, not glad, but you know what I mean. I appreciate it or whatever. And I appreciate that he apologized. But I didn’t wanna hear it.

What do you mean?

I didn’t wanna hear about this stupid bet. I didn’t wanna know people have been trying to put their dicks in my ass ‘cause they… I just didn’t wanna hear it!

Okay.

He wanted to tell me more, but I told him to shut up, and he was—it was so fucking awkward. Think he was trying to make up for it or some shit, but he was being way too cautious about everything. It was fucking annoying. If we’re gonna do this shit, I wanna do it. For real. I don’t wanna feel like he’s trying to settle a score or something. I want him to do it ‘cause he wants to. Not ‘cause he fucking pities me.

Yeah, I get that. Maybe you could… start over?

Sure. Let me just forget that he fucked me to win a fucking bet. It’s not just gonna go away if we start over, Ochaco.

Well, I don’t know!

What would you do, then?

Katsuki, I’m marrying an ex war criminal. Do you really want my input?

Yes.

Fine. Okay. I think that Shinsou-kun made a terrible mistake, but… he owned up to it. He owned up to it when no one else did. And he’s trying to do better. It might be annoying that he’s trying so hard, but it’s better than if he weren’t trying at all, so just… bear the awkwardness for a while. If we don’t give people second chances, they might stop trying to do better.

Should’ve expected that from the woman who’s marrying an ex war criminal.

Look—

But you’re right.

Thank you.

He’s gotta stop being awkward, though. Or I’m gonna kick him in the nuts.

That’s the spirit!

Chapter Text

Ochaco.

Katsuki. I heard you crashed Eri-chan’s birthday party.

From who?

Deku-kun.

Fucking hypocrite. He didn’t tell anyone he was bringing Todoroki, either.

Hm. You still crashed her party.

Why d’you care?

Deku-kun said Shinsou-kun seemed off.

He wasn't prepared for two unexpected guests.

So it wasn’t because of you?

No? The fuck?

Hm.

It was Aizawa, actually.

What?

Creep figured out we’ve been fucking. That’s why Hitoshi was being weird. He literally ran—

Wait, wait, wait. You’re calling him Hitoshi now?

Yeah, I… Yeah.

Katsuki! What the hell?! What did I miss?

We just—we agreed on it.

Why? When?

When we were discussing our kinks and shit. We talked about how subs use certain titles and honorifics for their dom, like sama. I’m not doing that shit. I’m just gonna call him by his name.

His given name?!

Jesus Christ, woman! Why are you screaming?!

You’re screaming, too!

Shut up!

Katsuki, come on! I can count the people you call by their given name on one hand, and I’m one of them! You can’t blame me for being surprised! Especially given the circumstances!

Ochaco. Calm down. It’s a BDSM thing.

Is it, really?

Yeah. To show respect. ‘Cause the dom is the “superior” or whatever.

Sure. Okay. But doesn’t using an honorific show more respect?

Monoma uses his given name.

Oh. Well. Whatever works for you, I guess. What were we talking about?

Aizawa being a nosy bastard.

Right. I suppose that’s a valid reason for being weird.

Yeah. You and Izuku can rest easy knowing there’s nothing to worry about.

If you say so.

Yeah. That all you wanted to bitch at me about?

Yes, I’m done bitching.

Good. Bye.

Byeee.

Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco. Grab the fucking champagne. I talked to Monoma.

Oh, you did?

Yeah.

Great! How did it go?

He thought it was a booty call. Never said that. Not that I wouldn’t fuck him. Just figured I should… check in with him or whatever.

Oh, that’s sweet. What did he say?

He appreciated it. And he wants to be friends again.

I guess you kind of lost touch after graduation.

Yeah.

Do you wanna be friends again?

We were friends before. Nothing against it.

I guess it’s only natural if you end up being friends again. You’ll probably be seeing him around more now.

Yeah.

Did you ask him about Shinsou-kun?

Yeah. He’s good. Experienced. Reliable. Monoma’s been his sub for a few years now. Never really had issues. They get around, but this is the first time he’s… entered a relationship with another sub or whatever.

Hm.

What?

Hm?

What’re you humming about?

Nothing. I’m just acknowledging what you said.

Nah, you’re thinking something.

I don’t know! I’m just glad to hear Monoma-kun approves of him.

Hm.

What are you humming about now?

I think he’s hiding something.

Oh?

Yeah.

About Shinsou-kun?

Maybe.

Like what?

I don’t know. Guess I’ll find out.

Ochaco.

Katsuki.

What’s with that tone?

What was that in the group chat?

Sero started it.

Right.

They wanted the fucking tea. I gave it to them.

I don’t care.

If you say so.

It’s whatever.

Alright. Have you had your session yet? With Shinsou-kun?

Yeah. Yesterday.

How was it?

Good.

That’s it?

Jesus Christ. It was really fucking good, okay?

Yeah?

Yeah.

That’s good.

Yeah. I was… I was wrong. About him.

How so?

I thought he was gonna be an annoying asshole again. Call me names and shit. He was actually really nice. It was weird.

Weird?

Made me feel weird.

Like Deku-kun?

Ugh. Yeah.

Well, that sounds lovely.

You didn’t blow up at him, did you?

No.

Good.

Katsuki, it’s okay. Everyone gets overwhelmed sometimes.

Not everyone turns into a fucking asshole.

It’s okay.

It’s not. I just… It was easier with Izuku.

I know.

Hitoshi… I don’t know.

What?

I can’t tell if he really means all the shit he says or if he’s just pretending. And I’m not… I don’t know what to say. 

When he’s being nice, you mean?

Yeah. It’s fine when he’s being an asshole, ‘cause I can just be an asshole back to him. But when he… when he tells me I’m being good and shit, I just… Shit, it’s so fucking stupid, but I just wanna be good.

Why is that stupid?

What’s wrong with being good?

It’s just weird. I don’t know why I wanna be good for him.

Probably because you like it when he’s nice to you.

Am I wrong?

No, but… Ugh. It’s fucking Hitoshi.

Isn’t that the point, though?

What?

I mean, you became his sub so you could have fun together.

Yeah, but…

But what?

I don’t fucking know. It’s just weird. We’ve never done this shit before.

I guess that’s true.

I don’t know why I care. I don’t know why he’d care.

Well, I don’t think he would be doing it if he didn’t care.

Hm.

And I think he likes it, anyway. Even if he’s playing it up a little. Like, I can’t imagine he would enjoy being nice to you when he actually hates you.

I don’t think he hates me.

No, but there’s got to be some truth to all the stuff he says, you know?

I guess.

I get it, though. It was easier with Deku-kun because you were actually together, not just having sex.

Yeah.

I don’t think I could do it, but I’ve never been with anyone else, so I’m kind of a bad example. I guess just… do what feels good. And try not to blow up at him when you get overwhelmed.

I know. Shut up.

You’re welcome.

Yeah, thanks.

Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco, I forgot to tell you.

What?

Remember when I said it felt like Monoma was hiding something?

Yeah?

I asked Hitoshi if he’s ever been in love, and he was really weird about it.

Weird how?

He was… curt, I guess. And when I brought it up again, he acted like he didn’t know what I was talking about, like he didn’t wanna talk about it.

Hm.

He said there was nobody, but I think he’s lying.

Maybe his feelings were unrequited?

Maybe. Didn’t have to lie about it, though.

Well… Like you said, he probably didn’t wanna talk about it.

Could’ve told me that.

Probably easier to lie.

Tch. It’s not like I was gonna push him.

I mean, I don’t think it really… matters? He seems like a very private person. Not even his friends know what he’s thinking, remember?

Monoma does, though.

Does he?

He obviously knows something.

Hm.

Look, it’s not like I give a shit about Hitoshi’s love life, but it’s weird that he’s being cagey about it. Something smells fishy.

Well, maybe he was telling the truth.

Huh?

Maybe it was the other way around. Maybe someone was in love with him and he didn’t feel the same, and he’s being cagey about it because he feels awkward about it.

Maybe.

I’m sure he’ll be more open about his feelings after some time has passed. You don’t have a lot of… rapport with him right now.

I don’t need any fucking rapport. I just need answers.

Okay, Katsuki. Keep needling the man who’s had sex with you a total of three times and see what happens.

Die.

Good luck.

Chapter Text

Ochaco.

Katsuki.

You calling about last night?

Himiko-chan wants to know who won.

Oh, really? Why’s Himiko not calling, then?

You got me… How’d it go?

Well, I blew a hole in the wall, so I’d say it went pretty well.

Katsuki!

It’s fine. I’ll get it fixed.

I thought you told Shinsou-kun to stay! What happened?!

I just… warned him too late.

So you lost?

Yeah.

Well. Kaminari-kun was probably pretty happy.

We were kinda distracted by the hole in the wall. I made Hitoshi drive them to my place so they could sleep in a bed that’s not covered in concrete.

Oh, boy. Is it still like that?

Yeah.

Himiko-chan and I can come over if they need help cleaning it up.

I’ll ask when we take them back in… a couple of hours, probably.

We?

I’m at Hitoshi’s.

Ah.

You know, I get it now. The eyebags.

That bad?

Yeah. Every time I woke up, he was up, too. Going to the bathroom, doing shit on his phone, feeding the cats. Of course he’s asleep now.

Oof.

Yeah. I’ll let him sleep for now. I’m hungry, though.

Is there nothing to eat?

Some microwave meals and snacks, but actual food? No. He’s hopeless, Ochaco. His cats eat better than he does.

Well, if he’s gonna be asleep for a while, you could go out and get something.

Hm.

You should take a picture of his cats, by the way.

After breakfast.

Sure!

Oh. What did you say?

I don’t know.

Do you wanna talk it through?

Yeah, but… I don’t know. I gotta think about it first.

Pretty sure Kaminari and Sero were part of it. It’s exactly the kind of bullshit they’d pull. I don’t know about Jirou. She asked if I wanted to fuck once, but she didn’t mention bottoming. Maybe she didn’t give a shit about winning, or maybe she just asked for the hell of it. Either way, I’d be surprised if Kaminari didn’t tell her. And they’re close with Hitoshi, so they probably roped him in, too.

Kaminari-kun and Sero-kun both tried to top you?

Kaminari didn’t try very hard, but yeah.

So… you want them to apologize?

Not if they don’t mean it. Hitoshi can tell them whatever he wants, and they can decide for themselves.

Are you gonna be upset if they don’t apologize, though?

I’m not upset.

But you only want them to apologize to you if they mean it…?

How does that translate to me being fucking upset?

Because their regret matters to you?

It doesn’t. It’s got nothing to do with me.

I don’t understand.

Ask Izuku.

Hu—

Chapter Text

Ochaco.

Katsuki. Don’t hang up on me. Please explain.

You know why I apologized to Izuku for bullying him?

Because you were sorry…?

Obviously I was sorry. That’s not the point.

What’s the point, then?

An apology doesn’t mean jack shit if you can’t back it up. You gotta atone. I just needed to say it. Out loud. I needed him to know.

That doesn’t explain why your friends’ regret doesn’t matter, though. Do you think your regret didn’t matter to Izuku?

No. ‘Cause expressing regret doesn’t lead to forgiveness. Atoning does.

I mean… that’s not always true.

It fucking should be!

Well—

You shouldn’t apologize if you’re not gonna change, and you shouldn’t just accept someone’s apology if they’re not gonna change, either. You don’t deserve forgiveness if you’re just gonna do it again.

That… You’re right. You don’t.

I’m always right.

So you want them to atone?

Yeah.

Alright.

Yeah? Do I have your blessing, Ochaco?

Pfft. Yeah. Go ahead and tell Shinsou-kun.

I will.

Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco, you’re not gonna believe this.

What?

Hitoshi had a crush on Izuku.

Eh?! Really?

Yeah, in high school.

Wow…

Also, do you think Kirishima was serious about joining me and Mina?

Hold on, I’m still processing that Shinsou-kun had a crush on Deku-kun.

Okay, but I—

Was this while you were dating or before?

Ochaco.

Come on! You can’t just drop that on me and change topics!

Fine. He said Izuku was taken.

Ah.

But he also said he never did anything ‘cause he knew Izuku was in love with me, so I don’t know.

Hm… Maybe he meant there was no point in doing something while you were dating because you were obviously happy together? Or maybe Deku-kun was so in love with you that he was basically already taken even before you were dating?

Whatever. He didn’t give a fuck, anyway.

About what?

He wasn’t pining after him. It wasn’t that serious.

Ah.

Which makes sense, I guess.

How so?

‘Cause he said he’s never been in love.

Right.

Anyway. Kirishima.

Please remind me… What did he say?

Mina was whining about having sex with me, and he said he’d let us if I let him join. Hitoshi, Kaminari, and Jirou all think he wants to fuck me.

Yeah. I don’t think Kirishima-kun would joke about that. He’s too earnest.

Hm.

I don’t really know what he meant when he said he’d let you if you let him join, though. How? Would he be in the same room? Put Mina in the middle? Have sex together? Have a threesome?

I don’t know.

Well, neither do I.

Useless. Worst friend ever.

I’ll become your worst enemy if you don’t stop this nonsense.

Love you.

I love you, too. And you should ask Kirishima-kun.

I guess.

I can ask Mina, if you want. Maybe they’ve talked about it.

Nah, I’ll ask him myself.

Okay.

 

Notes:

i hope my updating schedule for this is ok??? i've been trying to publish chapters that take place on the same day at the same time, and i figured that would be fine because they're so short, but i don't want to overwhelm you, so let me know if i'm going too fast. we've almost reached the point in the story where i have even more bonus chapters—the undercover mission arc—so i'll probably slow down a little anyway, but i still wanted to check in, especially now that everyone is busy with the holidays. happy holidays btw!

Chapter Text

Ochaco.

Katsuki. Why are you whispering?

I’m at Hitoshi’s. Dumbass fell asleep. On the kitchen table.

Oh, wow…

I was supposed to get laid today, Ochaco.

You poor man. Do you think your penis will atrophy?

Shut the fuck up.

I reckon you’ve got a couple of hours, at least.

Die.

I have too much to live for. Unlike a certain eunuch.

Why are you calling, bitch?

I was going to ask if you wanted to come over, but I guess you’re busy not getting laid.

Yeah, real busy.

Are you going to leave?

Nah. I’ll stay until he wakes up. He’s way too busy ‘cause of this case he’s trying to solve or whatever.

Alright. Have fun.

Thanks.

Chapter Text

Katsuki.

Ochaco…

Katsuki? Are you okay?

I feel… weird.

Weird how?

Dunno. Tired. Cold.

Cold? Why? What’s going on?

Nothing. ‘M fine. Just feel weird.

Where are you?

Hitoshi’s.

Where is he?

Working.

What? Are you just… at his place right now? By yourself?

Yeah.

Why do you feel weird?

Katsuki?

I was… Went into subspace. Felt really good, but now… I don’t know.

Subspace?

Yeah. It’s… It’s good.

But you don’t feel good anymore?

I don’t know…

I’m getting a little worried, Katsuki. Why did Shinsou-kun leave? What happened?

There was an emergency. Stupid case.

Okay. What happened, though?

I don’t know. It’s confidential.

What happened to make you feel weird, Katsuki?

Oh. Hitoshi said, uh… He said this might happen. ‘Cause of the hormones or whatever. Told me call him, but he’s… He might not pick up. Told me to call someone else if he doesn’t pick up, so… I called you.

Hormones?

Yeah.

Katsuki, can you tell me why he told you to call me?

‘Cause I feel weird.

I don’t know what… Damn it. What do you need, Katsuki?

Katsuki?

Ochaco?

Yeah?

Can you come over? I need you to… to take care of me.

Send me his address. Right now.
