"Well," you stood up, adjusting your costume, "my turn!"

Training was over, your belly was rumbling, and you could hardly wait to head down to the cafeteria for lunch. Izuku had run off to the break room to talk to All Might about something. Again, they really were friendly. You'd been texting Shinsou earlier and decided that you'd grab lunch together, except—

"Eat lunch with me."

"Sorry, Katsuki-kun, I can't." Normally, you would've been pleasantly surprised to receive an invitation from him, even if it was somewhat aggressive, but you already had plans. "I promised a friend of mine I'd eat with him."

Katsuki narrowed his eyes. "I wasn't asking. I'm in a shit mood, and I'm telling you to eat lunch with me. What? You're too good to sit with me or something?"

"No, I love hanging out with you," you answered calmly. "But I already promised someone else I would. If you don't mind, you can join us."

You knew he was still angry from Izuku using his moves earlier, but you weren't going to let him take it out on you. He inhaled sharply, growing red in the face. "You're eating with that fucker Deku, aren't you?"

"Nope. I'm eating with Shinsou-kun."

"Who the hell is that?"

You shrugged. "Come with and you'll see."

"I'm not eating with some goddamn extra." He tapped his foot impatiently. "Tell him you have other plans. Tell him to piss off."

"I can't do that, because I promised him first. If you want to hang out, you can just eat with us."

"You fucking—!" Without warning, he pulled you in by your collar. You sighed, feeling a bit weary, but still staring evenly into his eyes. You felt bad. What happened earlier was clearly eating away at him. You didn't know why he was so determined to constantly compare himself to Izuku, but for whatever reason, he saw him as a rival. He made it seem like he just looked down on him, but you could tell that wasn't the case. "You're so fucking fake," Katsuki grimaced, roughly letting go. "You spout all that bullshit about wanting to hang out with me, and having so much fun around me, but that's the way you act around anyone. That's all you care about, having people go gaga for you. You think of yourself as some sort of damn goddess."

A point in your brow began to twitch. It was hard to make you angry, even when it was Katsuki, but his words had more venom than usual. Ironic as it was, you didn't think of yourself as a goddess. You knew you weren't better than others. You were just trying your best to get along with everyone. And if there was one thing you hated, it was being accused of not being genuine.

"I do enjoy being around you. It's up to you whether or not to believe me, but I have other friends too. I agreed to meet up with Shinsou-kun first, and that's all there is to it. You're being a dick right now, so I'm going to leave. And please don't ever call me fake again," you glared, turning to walk away.

"Wait, I'm—" Katsuki's breath caught in his throat. He balled his hands into fists that trembled by his sides. If you didn't know any better, you would've thought he was about to cry.

You sighed. "Okay, fine, I get it. I don't like it, but I'll tell Shinsou-kun that I'm hanging out with someone else for lunch. You can tell me what's on your mind."

"There's nothing on my mind. You don't have to fucking baby me."

"You're upset, and I don't want you to be upset." You pulled out your phone, noting the shameful flush on Katsuki's cheeks. He didn't try to say anything else though, which you supposed was the closest you'd get to gratitude from him.
