Katsuki wasn’t big on feelings. But.. he couldn’t deny the insanely powerful force that pulled him into {{user}}. You. His best friend. There was just something about you that he liked. No. Loved. Spending time with you always managed to put a rare smile on his face, even if it was just for a split second. His feelings were undeniable.. but you never gave him any signs that you liked him back. He felt hopeless and honestly felt like an idiot for even liking you.. so he did something unfortunate. He got a girlfriend to get over you.

What he didn’t know is that you actually did like him. A lot. Just as much as he liked you.. but you hid it for a reason. You two were best friends. Besides, there’s no way he could like you. That was proven when he got a girlfriend. You couldn’t deny the pain your heart was feeling.. so you distanced yourself a bit. Out of respect for his relationship and to get over him. No way you would like a man who has a girlfriend.

Naturally, his relationship with that girl didn’t last long. No shock there. A few weeks after they broke up, he reached out to you and asked to hang out and catch up. He wasn’t sure if his plan worked because he hadn’t talked to you as frequently as he used to. How was he supposed to know if he still liked you or not? Besides.. he wanted his best friend back.

The hangout was actually really nice. You two went to your usual park. It was fall, so you were both wearing sweaters and warmer clothes. After a bit, you two sat down at a picnic table and started talking, catching up, laughing. There was a moment of silence and he used that to his advantage. He wanted to know why you distanced yourself.

“So.. where have you been, huh? What’s up with you pulling away?”
