imagine the three being in a relationship with each other. izuku joined the two a little late and felt disconnected y'know? like he didn't belong and he was slapped with that fact one night class A played a truth or dare game.
they were all seated in a circle on the dorm's living room. katsuki was sitting between izuku and kirishima but the greenette felt like he wasn't sitting close to the two at all.
in fact, it felt like katsuki and kirishima were the only one sitting on the sofa and that sucked.
he's been very insecure and emotional even before his friends gave him a little talk about how he looks like he's having a hard time with his boyfriends. of course, he denied it.
he couldn't tarnish kacchan and ei's names like that. they were kind people! really, they are.
it's just that, maybe they're still trying to get used to him being in the relationship. after all, katsuki and kirishima had been together for a year before they asked him to be with them.
he was so happy when they asked him, y'know? he was over the moon knowing they liked him!
it's been a year since then and all he could say is that, it hasn't been going in a way he expected it too. them three, not just kacchan and ei but him too.
luckily, class a decided to have a game night. just in time before he jeopardizes himself and his relationship.
his friends decided on the game. truth and dare. he didn't think much of it. they've played it lots already. but he should've known.
he didn't feel good about it. he was nervous. his stomach was heavy and he felt parched. he shrugged it off.
he shouldn't have.
he should've noticed his friends' stares or the way they'd glance at kirishima and bakugou who were cuddled up before glancing at him. it was obvious. maybe he was too tired to notice.
"ei! truth or dare?"
the red head smiled, "uh... truth?"
"okay!" ochako beamed.
"what's izuku's favorite show?"
oh!
he flushed red but still smiled at ochako's question. it's very easy. he talked his boyfriends' ears off just three days ago after that show released their new season. it was awesome and ei can't get this wrong.
"that all might show?"
izuku felt it. his heart falling to the ground and crashing.
only a forced smile and a disappointed "oh" came out of his lips as kirishima scrambled to save his answer with another.
"the cooking show!"
god, no. he hasn't watched that for months.
"it's the hero show, you know, that one where every episode is about the achievement of fallen heroes?"
and boy did it hurt that no recognition flashed on ei's face.
"oh shit, right. sorry, zu. i didn't know. you never told me you changed your favorite show."
he wanted to refute that. he wanted to say that he did and that he's been talking about it for days but no. he kept his mouth shut and smiled.
"it's okay. it's my fault," he said and smiled as wide as he could before looking away.
he didn't think he'd be able to keep his tears at bay if he didn't look away.
kaminari was the one to break the silence with an awkward laugh. and he'd be lying if he said he didn't lose his enthusiasm. he was even close to sulking.
especially when his friends got all information about him correct. and eijirou nor katsuki failed to answer questions about each other. he felt horrible.
all he wanted to do was to leave and cry on his bed like he's been doing these past few weeks.
and when he thought nothing could hurt him more, the bottle pointed at katsuki and it was his turn to throw the question.
"kacchan, truth or dare?" he squeaked, swallowing at the empty look the blond gave him.
"truth."
"kacchan, what's my favorite color?"
he's a martyr. he likes hurting himself so much that among so many questions, he asked that. still, he didn't regret it. he wanted to know if his friends were right. that perhaps kacchan and ei didn't really like him.
he hopes they're wrong.
"i don't know. green?"
"wow." it was ochako. she didn't sound so happy but izuku didn't have the time to focus on that.
his chest was clenching so hard it felt like he was running out of air to breathe in.
god. why does it hurt so much? it's just a stupid color!
he stood up, he didn't look at anyone and just emptily smiled, "i-i'm going... i'm going." his voice broke. it was rough and broken and it was obvious he was in tears.
"seriously? it's just a color, deku. sit the fuck down―"
"no. shut the fuck up you dog," ochako cut him off.
he didn't need to hear more so he walked away. but he didn't walk away far enough to not hear what katsuki said next.
"we were kids when he last told me that. how am i supposed to fucking know?"
and that was it. he ran to the elevator, pressed his floor and broke down in tears.
he told them how he loves red so much because it reminded him of his kacchan and ei just yesterday. yesterday and the day before that. he tells them that everyday.
shit.
his friends were right. kacchan and ei don't care about him at all.

Title: Sayonara, Kacchan
Wherein Izuku escapes the grip of his toxic relationship with Katsuki. Izuku learns how to be happy while Katsuki slowly deteriorates.
I: See You Later
[ “I told you he was a friend!” he screamed, face wet with tears as he tried his best to put up a fight. He’s not the one in the wrong. He’s not the one making everything about himself!
“He was all over you! He knew what he was fucking doing and you did too, Deku! You did, you damn whore!” ]
The loud sound of the hood slamming close quickly pulled him back from his reverie. He repeatedly blinked. What an awful memory to remember at such a time.
Katsuki and Izuku married young thinking with the both of them together, there's nothing that could ever go wrong.
Yet, ten years later, tears were spilled and rings were thrown as words they didn't mean flew out their mouths.
How do you know it's time for something to end? No, better yet, how do you end it?
That's probably the more appropriate question Izuku needs to ask because maybe, at the back of his mind, he knew there was no more reason to stay. He just... didn't have the courage to leave.
"Let's get a divorce, Kacchan." He sobbed into his hands, his body crumbling down right on the hallway of the hospital. "Being with you... god, being with you doesn't even make me happy anymore. Being with you feels so forced and miserable," he said in between his gasps.
Izuku's a third year in the support department while Katsuki's a first year in the hero department. While everyone was worried about Ochako after the fight, Izuku was running towards Katsuki who had a big scowl on his face.
"Kacchan!" He yelled, his hands gripping around the figurine he bought to congratulate his boyfriend.
"Fuck off, Deku! I don't wanna see your stupid face!"
A sigh quickly left his mouth as he stopped on his tracks and watched Katsuki enter the room meant for class 1-A.
He was contemplating whether to enter or not when Katsuki's head poked out of the doorway, an ever deeper frown on his face.
"Are you coming or not?"
Cute.
His face reddened as quick as he crossed the distance between them with two steps.
