#BKDK Soulmate AU where when you reach the age of 10, you see in your dreams the exact color of your soulmate’s eyes.

Izuki and Katsuki are friends since they can remember, always had playdates and spend each and every day together. Until Katsuki turns 10.

His dreams that night were filled with the most beautiful shade of bright green. He recognized the color immediately, of course it would be Izuku! His eyes were the exact same color that filled his dreams.

But he didn’t told him. Not yet. Soon the nerd would turn 10 and he will find out by himself that Katsuki was his soulmate. And then they will grow up together and everything will be perfect.

Except that it wasn’t.
Izuku turned 10, his dreams were full of the most amazing color he ever saw, he doesn’t even think that gorgeous tone exists really, but it must be true, because he already had a week dreaming about that color.

But, despite of being totally in love with it, it wasn’t Katsuki’s.
The tone was so different and yet Izuku could swear they shared something, just that...it wasn’t his soulmate’s color.

He was so sure Katsuki was his soulmate that the fact that he was not, weighted heavily in Izuku’s heart. It was almost impossible for him to think about anyone else but the blond. And it pained his heart deeply.

Katsuki was losing it. Izuku was almost 11 years now and every day he got more and more distant. The blond's dreams were still full of Izuku's color. Bright, beautiful green. It was a wonder why the nerd was keeping the fact that they were soulmates secret.

He never mentioned anything to Katsuki and now he was just hiding behind comics, notes and silence. Why? Katsuki knew the color in his dreams was the one in front of him and yet, now it was so, so distant.

One day he snapped.
"Why are you ignoring the fact that we are soulmates? Why do you hide from me? Does that bothers you this much?" Katsuki was angry, he was almost crying, he HATED to show any kind of emotion besides anger, but he hated Izuku being like this even more.

"We're not soulmates, Kacchan." Were Deku's soft and sad words.
Katsuki's world crumbled to pieces. They were 13 now and he spent the last 3 years wondering why Deku was so weird. Oh, so that's why. Deku didn't wanted him as his soulmate.
"As you wish, Shitku"

He turned around, fists clenched at his sides, teeth grinding and tears being forced not to be shed. If shitty Deku was going to act that way, then fine. He will absolutely forget everything he felt for the nerd.

Time went by. They were 16 now, Katsuki was running away from the color in his dreams. Izuku was thorn between wanting to meet the person with the color of his dreams and dreading finding them.

Katsuki's bullying and angry rants were bad now, each word was buried in his skin. Everytime the blond say something against him, he felt his heart squeezing, painful tears blurred his sight. Why was Kacchan this angry at him?

"It's the most amazing color, I've never seen something like that before, it's so bright and beautiful. I don't know anything that brights like it." Katsuki heard Deku talking with Uraraka about his soulmate's eyes. What the actual fuck? Was Deku still keeping that fucking lie?

He was angry now. So so angry.
"You know, Deku-kun? We always thought your soulmate was Bakugou. You care so much about him even if he hurts you...but I guess you are right. If he was truly your soulmate, he woudn't hurt you so much" Ouch. That was a sucker punch.

They were 20 now, Katsuki stopped the angry words directed at Izuku since that conversation with Uraraka. He was starting to believe that maybe, there was another person with Izuku's colors. There must be. Maybe the nerd was not lying and they weren't soulmates.

Katsuki's eyes were red, they weren't normal, but a lot of things were red like his eyes. The apples, the fire, the fucking tie Deku was not able to fucking wear properly. Even the nerd's ugly sneakers were red.

But he told Uraraka that the sade of his soulmate's eyes was something he haven't seen yet.
So.fucking.special.
But yeah, the fucker deserved someone with pretty weird eyes, just like his. Because in 20 years, he never saw the same brightness.

They were 23 now. Katsuki was trying to be more open with Izuku, they were trying to amend their broken relationship. There was no case to keep the distance.
It was only Katsuki's fault.

He was so obsessed with the nerd being his that he forgot that Deku never, not once, lied to him.
"Your eyes are stupid." He said with a drink in his hand, getting lost into Izuku's orbes.
"That's mean, Kacchan!!!" Deku pouted.

"No, really, they are fucking stupid. I'm tired of seeing their color in my dreams. I guess I never told you but my soulmate has eyes with the same color as yours" He muttered grumpily. 25 years and Izuku was the only one with that idiotic tone.

Izuku started to giggle.
"Leave it to Katsuki to fall for someone with eyes almost the same shade as his!"
What the actual fuck?
"What are you talking about, nerd? My eyes are nothing like yours. They are so fucking different."
"Uhm, no?" Izuku was still giggling.

"Uhm, yes." Katsuki was so lost now. "My eyes are like your fucking sneakers and yours are like a fucking three"
"Pfft, what?" Izuku was now fullly laughing. "Silly Kacchan, they are like, almost the same!!"
"THEY WHAT NOW?"

"I mean, there's slight differences and all but they are kinda the same?"
Katsuki just stood up leaving the nerd to fucking giggle by himself.

He got home and angrily took his laptop out.
"Fucking fuck fuck fuck fuck!" He was not even able to form coherent phrases.
"IDIOT." Bingo, his research gave him what he needed.
Fucking losers. Both of them.

He took out his wallet to order something online, paying the fucking extra price for an ASAP delivery. But of course he took more time that the one in the little countdown because he was choosing the perfect ones, so instead of getting the item tomorrow, it'll be until next day.

He went to sleep with a very very anxious heart. Next morning he called the nerd.
"Loser, don't make plans tomorrow, I have something for you and it's fucking important"
Tomorrow can't come soon enough.

The delivery day was today. Izuku was at his place watching TV while he was just sitting anxiously, tapping his foot mercilessly at the floor.
Finally, a knock on the door and Katsuki was fucking ready to fly to the entrance. He took the package carefully in his hands.

"Nerd, this is for you" Deku was looking at him curiosly.
"What is it, Kacchan?"
"Just fucking open it and see it yourself."
Izuku opened the package carefully, until a small box was sitting on his hands. Huh? Glasses?

"I don't need glasses, Kacchan." He frowned. Was this some kind of joke?
"Just...just fucking put them on and tell me when you are ready."
Izuku didn't answered, just took the glasses and obeyed.
Katsuki closed his eyes before the nerd opened his behind the glasses.

Katsuki heard a loud gasp and a sob over his throbbing heart.
"Kacchan...what...what is this?"
"They are glasses for color blinds. With special reinforcement for protanopia. Your eyes and mines were always so so different, just like your sneakers and the threes. You just.."

His eyes were still closed. "You just couldn't see the difference."
He slowly opened his eyes, looking at Izuku, who was now looking directly at the red carpet on the floor."

"Look at me."
Izuku shaked his head no.
"Do it."
Another shake and a sob.
"Please." It was a soft voice, so scared, almost tembling.
Finally, finally Izuku looked up, straight into Katsuki's eyes.

"You were right all along..." He whispered, silent tears running down his cheeks.
"I always am." Katsuki's hands went to cup Izuku's cheeks. "Stupid." He dried the tears with his thumbs.

"It was you all along." Izuku was spellbound into the deep red of Katsuki's eyes. "And I...I told you so so many times that we weren't soulmates...Oh God, I hurt you so much..." Tears were still cascading down his cheeks.
"That doesnt matter now, right?"

Katsuki was so close. He could almost feel his breath againg his lips. He leaned foward but when the blond closed his eyes to seal their lips Izuku whispered a soft "Don't close your eyes, please" And he didn't.
Neither of them closed their eyes as they kissed deeply.

Their lips danced with each other, so, so soft. But their eyes, their eyes were staring deeply into each other, passionate, burning. Belonging.

"Finally." Katsuki whispered against Izuku's lips.
They hugged each other for hours, stealing kisses and getting lost in each other colors.

They were never getting their eyes from each other's, even when the colors around them were pretty, they knew that nothing could compare to the brightness of the ones they were looking right now.
