    Summary

    He tried, during those lost years, he tried as hard as he possibly could. Tore his eyes away from it, threw punches and insults, breathed through the scent of mint. And yet, he fell asleep at night dreaming of freckled skin under his lips, spearmint toothpaste on his tongue anyways. The undying, ever growing affection had curdled into something ugly but it had never died. Even if Katsuki stays dead, it won’t die with him. It’ll live in the sticky-note he stuck on Izuku’s lunch yesterday that he knows the sentimental nerd kept, it’ll linger like bad cologne on the notebook he’d given Izuku when he ran out of pages.

    His affection won’t have to outlive him, though. Because he’ll walk this purgatory of endless doors created by a curse of a quirk a million times before he lets Izuku lose the best thing about him. That perpetually heroic, perpetually bleeding heart.

    alternatively titled: All The Pieces

    In which Katsuki dies. And then, he claws his way back to life.

    So Katsuki picks him up.

    Katsuki always, always picks him up.

    or: five times Katsuki picks Izuku up in his car, and one time Izuku goes to him.

    Summary

    He’s balancing on the ledges of the flooded sandbox with his arms out, trying not to fall when a familiar looking red, blue and yellow ball bounces over the ledge and lands in the water with a splash. It bobs on the surface of the water, floating around before finally settling in the middle.

    “Oh no!”A whiny voice exclaims, sounds of gravel crunching beneath little light up All-Might themed velcro sneakers getting louder and louder, “My ball…”

    Katsuki points at the ball, “That’s yours?”

    The kid— he has dark green curly hair, sparkling eyes and cool little dots scattered across his face, concentrated on the bridge of his nose and his cheeks. Katsuki doesn’t know what they’re called and it pisses him off.

    A lot of things piss him off.

    or

    Katsuki and Izuku, growing up, falling in love.

    Summary

    Kirishima hums. “I didn’t read it as something as simple as that,” he muses. “It didn’t seem to me like Dynamite fell in love with Deku over the course of this season, or even the course of the show. To me, it was more like he realized he’d always been in love with him.”

    Katsuki grips the steering wheel so tightly he fears it may dent under the pressure.

    “Shut the fuck up,” he hisses.

    bakugou and midoriya play opposing characters on popular tv show my hero academia. they work best this way, because they don't like one another in real life either.

    except—

    now, their characters are being written into a love story. and their characters have always been reflections of themselves.

    Summary

    Keeping their relationship secret was Katsuki's idea. (Not a very bright idea, but his idea, nevertheless). But that doesn't mean he can't look at Izuku... or interrupt his interviews... or visit him on patrols....

    or: Amidst everything, Katsuki pines. (It's very obvious).
