Chapter Text
While waiting for Kaachan to come over I paced the living room wondering about what he wanted to talk about. The radio playing softly in the background and Why Worry by Set It Off started to play.
"This sinking feeling sets
It feels just like a hole inside your chest
I know you're thinking
No, no, no, no, it is easier said than done
But please let me attest
I know it's hard"
As I listened to the lyrics it got me thinking, "Should I even say anything? I mean Kaachan has been acting nicer to me and... he's listening to me but I'm scared to even mention I've loved him for years and that he's my soulmate..."
"You're feeling like you're trapped
But that's how you react
When you cannot see the light
But try and see the light
I'm tellin' you
No, no, no, no
You're the only one
Standing in your way
Just take a breath
Relax, and tell me"
I don't know what to do now, or ever when he gets here...
"Why?
Please tell me why do we worry?
Why?
Why do we worry at all?
Why?
Just tell me, why do we worry?
When worry is never helping
Tell me why, why worry at all?"
The doorbell rings and I steeled my gaze and my breathing as I watched him open the door.
"Why do we insist
On crossing bridges that do not exist?
Let's take these issues
Step by step by step, to work it out
Day by day by day we're falling down
But life goes on"
"Izuku, I see you listened."
"Yeah..." I stopped pacing and stood still letting the music play as I looked down at my hands.
"I've got some questions
Are you sick of feelin' sorry? (Uh huh)
And people sayin' not to worry? (Uh huh)
Sick of hearing this hakuna matata motto
From people who won the lotto
We're not that lucky
Have you noticed that you're breathing? (Uh huh)
Look around and count your blessings (Uh huh)"
"Am I your soulmate?"
"What makes you think and say that?" I said trying to evade the question.
"I can see the tattoo... and the faint scars."
"Oh... I thought I covered it up good."
"No shit Izuku, don't lie to me."
"Okay... fine yes. You're my soulmate are you happy, pissed, what?!"
"Shocked, mostly shocked, but at least I know now why I felt that pull to you."
"So when you're sick of all this stressin' and guessin' I'm
Suggestin' you turn this up and let them hear you sing it
Why?
Please tell me why do we worry?
Why?
Why do we worry at all?
Why?
Just tell me, why do we worry?
When worry is never helping
Tell me why, why worry at all?"
"You're not mad? I thought you didn't want a quirkless soulmate?"
"It's true that I said that in the past... but knowing it's you and not some stranger is what puts me at ease."
"But why change your mind now? Don't you have many groveling at your feet to be your soulmate even if it's not their true soulmate?"
"Because the wake up call happened when I got kidnapped by the LOV. I couldn't lose myself to the darkness without knowing who my soulmate was when I haven't met them yet, but in reality turns out I did. It was you this whole time..."
"Chin up, quit actin' like you're half dead
Tears can only half fill how you're feelin'
Don't worry, be happy baby"
"Kaachan... I wanted to tell you. But I couldn't... I didn't think it was essential nor really appealing for you to find out it was me... I didn't want to tell you at all either... but turns out you already did. I can't put it past you to figure things out so fast."
"Of course you didn't nerd. But it's about damn time!"
"Stand up, life is too damn short
That clock is ticking
Man up, if ya feel me
Everybody sing it"
He stayed quiet for a while
"Do you want this done and over with?"
"Why?
Please tell me why do we worry?
Why?
Why do we worry at all?
Why?
Just tell me, why do we worry?
When worry is never helping
Tell me why, why worry at all?"
"What do you mean?"
"Do you want to be my boyfriend officially? Or do I need to show you in another way?"
"What?" And with that he pulled me into a heated kiss tongue and all as he bent me down as if he was about to land me on the floor but held me by my waist
"mph!" I stated in shock as he kissed me, sticking his tongue in my mouth we fought for dominance but Kacchan won obviously due to my shock and the fact that he had the upper hand
The music kept playing in the background
"Why?
Please tell me why do we worry?
Why?
Why do we worry at all?
Why?"
I just went with it hooking my arms around his neck and pulled myself closer kissing him back as if this was the last time we would kiss even though it was our first of many. And many more to come...
"Just tell me, why do we worry?
When worry is never helping
I'm not buying what they're selling
So if worry is never helping
Tell me why, why worry at all?"
