A HUGE thank you to Cherry @e0dcherry for this prompt! I hope I did it justice. ๐Ÿ’–

Three years since he'd seen Izuku in anything besides social media posts and family photos hung up on Auntie Inko's wall.
Three years since he'd had a real conversation with his friend. Phone calls were always brief and slightly awkward - what did you say to someone you used to babysit? Someone who used to (maybe still did) have a crush on you?
Three years since he'd looked into those gorgeous viridian eyes and seen that megawatt smile.

Three years since he'd heard that infectious laugh.

Three years since he'd heard that nickname he used to think was so childish; ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ.
That phrase, 'You didn't know what you had when you had it', described his feelings perfectly.

Katsuki had one regret and it had a name; Deku.

๐˜๐˜ป๐˜ถ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ ๐˜”๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜บ๐˜ข.
The last time he'd seen Izuku it'd been just before his high school graduation ceremony. The greenette looked so excited. He hadn't been able to stop smiling. Izuku had bounced on the balls of his feet, ready to jump into action at any moment.
Katsuki couldn't remember being that excited to graduate. If he remembered correctly he found the whole ceremony pompous, boring and a complete waste of time.
Regardless, he'd worn his cap and gown and walked across the stage to get his diploma and his photo taken while his parents, Auntie Inko and Izuku had watched and cheered for him.
Afterwards heโ€™d gone out partying with his friends, his mind on going to college and becoming an independent adult. He hadnโ€™t given Izuku a second thought, not when he was just a young kid, 11 years old at the time. No, he didn't have time for Izuku when he was starting his life!
Katsuki had seen him over the years, babysitting him when he was home on college breaks so his parents and Auntie Inko could go out and have an โ€˜adult nightโ€™ while he and Izuku stayed home to eat pizza, play video games and watch those cheesy All Might movies Izuku loved.
Over the years heโ€™d noticed Izukuโ€™s growing crush - itโ€™d been hard not to. Izuku was a sweet kid who wore his heart on his sleeve. He could always tell what the other was thinking and feeling just from his facial expressions and body language.
It was normal for young kids to have crushes on older kids - it happened all the time! But Izukuโ€™s feelings had lingered well past the time they should have faded. By the time Izuku went into high school Katsuki had thought that heโ€™d meet someone his age and start dating.
Fall hard and fast, give into his teenage hormones and experiment a little - maybe even get his heart broken.

But no. Izuku was resilient, persistent, and determined.
That day, before the graduation ceremony, Katsuki had seen that same look of adoration in Izukuโ€™s eyes heโ€™d seen countless times before. Even at 18, Izuku still had a crush on him.
Katsuki hated to admit it but it was a bit of an ego boost. Izuku was a cute kid, a handsome young man, and it felt good to be adored by him. But it was also inappropriate.
Izuku was 7 years younger than him and even if Katsuki accepted his feelings and gave him a shot, people wouldn't accept them.

So when his friends brought it up, he just laughed and shrugged it off like he thought it was cute. What else could he say?
โ€˜๐˜ ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฉ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆโ€™๐˜ด ๐˜ข ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ, ๐˜โ€™๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ ๐˜ช๐˜ง ๐˜ช๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฏโ€™๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฃ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆโ€™?

NOPE. Heโ€™d never say that.
Katsuki liked Izuku, he did. Despite their age gap, he considered Izuku a close friend, someone he cherished. Someone that he enjoyed spending time with, despite their differences and the slight awkwardness that came with Izuku having a crush on him.
He enjoyed Izukuโ€™s friendship, for what it was. And he was looking forward to hearing about Izuzkuโ€™s time in college. He wanted to give him advice and help him through it so he could enjoy it to the fullest.
But thenโ€ฆIzuku was gone. He walked across that stage, took his diploma, snapped the necessary photos and walked right out of Katsukiโ€™s life.
After the ceremony he couldnโ€™t find the nerd. It was his own graduation party and he was nowhere to be found. Granted, Katsuki hadn't looked very hard - heโ€™d been enjoying a few beers, catching up with his friends - so itโ€™s not like he called in a search party to look for him.
But he wished that he had.

Izuku was someone that he cared about and heโ€™d wanted to at least give him his graduation card - and money - and tell him how proud he was that heโ€™d graduated at the top of his class. But heโ€™d never gotten the chance.
Nope, heโ€™d ended up entrusting the card with Auntie Inko and leaving the party early to go karaoki with his friends. Maybe if he hadn't just been thinking of himself that night he and Izuku wouldn't have lost touchโ€ฆ

Three years. Heโ€™d been such a prick back then.
But tonight was going to be different. Izuku was out on spring break and heโ€™d come home to see his mom. Auntie Inko and his parents were so excited the trio had decided to throw a pool party/BBQ in his honor.
- Tweet Limit -
Katsukiโ€™s parents' house was large enough to host a good sized party so theyโ€™d told Katsuki to invite some of his friends if they weren't busy with work. He was looking forward to it.
It was a long weekend and he wanted to catch up with his old friend, little did he know that the young 18 year old boy heโ€™d last interacted with was long gone, and a charismatic man of 21 was left in Izukuโ€™s placeโ€ฆ
_____
โ€œIzuku, go long!โ€ Shoto called as he drew the football back and aimed, throwing it towards the far end of the yard near the pool.

Katsuki stepped out of the house just as Izuku started to run for the ball. What he saw left him flabbergasted.

๐˜๐˜ป๐˜ถ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ?!
โ€œI got it!โ€ The football drifted out over the side of the pool and Izuku, eager to catch it, jumped up into the air, catching the ball only to then splash into the pool.

โ€œYEEEAAAHHH!!โ€ All of Izukuโ€™s friends - including the BakuSquad - cheered and laughed.
โ€œPAH!โ€ Izuku surfaced, holding up the football with a victorious smile. โ€œNice throw, Sho!โ€ Throwing it back, the soaking ball spun through the air, water droplets spraying everywhere as it did so.
Shoto caught it easily and laughed. โ€œThanks, Zuku! I thought youโ€™d appreciate the dip.โ€ He smirked.

Katsukiโ€™s gaze never left Izuku as he swam to the pool ladder.
Swallowing hard, he was almost ashamed at the way his mouth watered as he watched Izukuโ€™s arms flex as he climbed out.

๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ข ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ฌ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ.

F*ck.
โ€œGood thing my phone wasnโ€™t in my pocket!โ€ Izuku laughed, running a hand through his dripping hair.

โ€œEven if it was, I would have bought you a new one. The new models that are out are pretty slick.โ€ Shoto said nonchalantly.
โ€œOooo, good point. Iโ€™ll keep that in mind next time.โ€ Izuku laughed. โ€œAt least the water is nice!โ€
Before Katsuki could prepare himself for what was coming Izuku reached down and pulled up on the hem of his dripping shirt, effectively peeling it off to reveal well muscled, deliciously tanned and freckled, tattooed skin that gave Katsuki an instant hardon.
๐˜*๐˜ค๐˜ฌ. ๐˜*๐˜ค๐˜ฌ. ๐˜*๐˜Š๐˜’!!!!

Katsuki only had a moment to nonchalantly adjust himself before Kirishima caught sight of him. โ€œKats! You made it! We were beginning to wonder if you were ever going to show.โ€
โ€œI, uh, got caught in some traffic.โ€ Lame excuse but whatever, he could hardly wrap his head around his reaction to seeing Izuku all grown up, he didn't have the capability to come up with a better excuse for his tardiness.
Speaking of the unexpected hotness, Izuku didn't even acknowledge him. He was chatting with whoever that half-red, half-white haired guy was. Sho? What kind of a name was that?
Kirishima noticed where his gaze had landed and stepped up to smack him on the back. โ€œCrazy right? Little Izuku is all grown up!โ€

โ€œYeahโ€ฆall grown up.โ€ Understatement of the century! Izuku could be a f*ckinโ€™ model!
โ€œWhy don't you go say โ€˜hiโ€™?โ€ Katsuki had to wonder if that was a good idea. ๐˜Œ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ค๐˜ช๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฑ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ! โ€œIn a minute, he looksโ€ฆoccupied.โ€ Yeah, occupied with that half & half guy.
โ€œWhoโ€™s that guy?โ€ Was he Izukuโ€™s friend? Best friend? Boyfriend? F*ck, what if he was Izukuโ€™s boyfriend?! Waitโ€ฆdid it matter? Heโ€™d already determined a long time ago that a relationship with Izuku would be inappropriate. And yetโ€ฆ
โ€œShoto? Izuku brought him. Theyโ€™re roommates at University and pretty close.โ€ Kirishima said with a shrug.

So they lived together? He didn't like that one bit.

GAH! It shouldn't matter what he thought! But it did.
Why?

Does Katsuki deserve a chance after ignoring and making fun of Izuku's feelings? Does he only like him because he's suddenly attractive? Are Izuku and Shoto boyfriends? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜˜๐Ÿ’–๐Ÿ˜

This is part 2 of an indeterminate amount ๐Ÿ˜…

CW: Cursing, social drinking
_____
It was weird being back at the Bakugo house. Heโ€™d spent plenty of summers and holidays here throughout the years. Hell, heโ€™d practically grown up here. Auntie Mitsuki, Uncle Masaru and his mother were all very close, so close that they had โ€˜familyโ€™ dinners once a week.
When he was a kid, it was the best night of the week, all because he got to spend time with Katsuki.

๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช.
Heโ€™d felt like such a fool, a f*cking joke. For years heโ€™d fantasized about confessing his feelings to Katsuki and finally being seen as a ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ and not a ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ. Heโ€™d thought that Katsuki would be happy! Heโ€™d thought Katsuki would give him a chance.
But heโ€™d known his feelings the whole time.

Katsuki and his friends had been laughing at him the whole time.

The realization felt like a kick to the solar plexus.

Graduation night was usually spent with family and friends celebrating the achievement of reaching adulthood.
Izuku had had plans! His mom and Auntie Mitsuki and Uncle Masaru had planned the whole thing, hosting it at the Bakugo house so they could utilize the pool and barbeque. Theyโ€™d even had it catered, and invited a ton of people.
But it was there that heโ€™d overheard Katsuki talking to his friends. Laughing at him. He hadn't been able to stop the tears from spilling from his eyes and he hadnโ€™t wanted to be seen like that. So Izuku had run home and locked himself in his room where he could be alone.
Katsuki hadnโ€™t come looking for him. Why would he?

๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ'๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ด ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ.

It was painful, being back here, but liberating too. Itโ€™d been three years and he wasn't that naรฏve kid anymore.
Heโ€™d grown up. Heโ€™d made new friends, gotten tattoos and piercings, ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ'๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ.

Izuku had removed Katsuki from his pedestal and put himself first for once. His needs, his desires, his dreams. It was f*cking liberating.
He was confident in himself. Heโ€™d found himself in college and he was pretty damn happy with that heโ€™d discovered.

And it turned out that a lot of people liked him for who he was too.
Did he think of Katsuki sometimes? Yeah. But he didnโ€™t let thoughts of Katsuki rule him anymore.
So, with his head held high, Izuku had walked back into the Bakugo household confident that after three years of self discovery and confidence building that he wouldn't be reduced back down to the little cry baby that Katsuki had laughed at.
______
โ€œHey did you hear back from Touya?โ€ Izuku asked as he picked up a beer and popped the cap off, tossing it in the trash before taking a swig.
โ€œYeah, he said he was still coming but heโ€™s running a little late. I dunno, he said something about getting you a surprise?โ€ Shoto said with a little smirk.

โ€œOoooh~? I wonder what that's aboutโ€ฆโ€
โ€œPFFFFT, as if you don't know. Heโ€™s been trying to get back in your bed since Christmas break.โ€ Shoto said with a knowing glint in his eye.

โ€œMmmm, yeah, youโ€™re not wrong.โ€ Touya had been an ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ฑ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ.
He was a bit older, just a year younger than Katsuki, and he was ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต. Not to mention he was amazing in bed. They hooked up last winter break during the annual Todoroki Family Ski Trip that Shoto had invited him to.
โ€œHeโ€™s probably getting you some extravagant gift or picking out some extra skimpy speedo to show off in or something.โ€ Shoto rolled his eyes and sipped his own drink.
Sho was great, he was Izukuโ€™s roommate but also his best friend. The two had hooked up once years ago but they hadnโ€™t felt a spark between them so theyโ€™d decided to just stay friends.
Every now and then if they were feeling extra horny theyโ€™d help one another out, so to speak, but that was all it was - casual FWB hookups. Unless Izuku or Sho were dating someone, then the physical stuff was off limits. They werenโ€™t cheaters.
When Izuku and Touya had hit it off on the ski trip, Shoto had given him his blessing and support, which was great - Izuku didn't want to lose his friend because he was interested in his elder brother.
But their hook-up had just been that - a one time thing. Touya worked at Endeavor Corp. which was located a few cities over from where Izuku and Shoto went to school.
Touya had offered to try a long distance relationship but Izuku knew that that would only end in heartbreak, ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฏ'๐˜ต ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ๐˜บ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜จ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ๐˜จ๐˜ฉ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ข๐˜จ๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ฏ.
But despite parting amicably, he and Touya still kept in touch via text and the occasional facetime. Touya was fun to talk to and he gave some really good advice. Ina lot of ways, he reminded him of Katsukiโ€ฆ
Izuku knew that once he graduated college Touya was going to ask him out again so they could give their relationship a real chance. Izuku wasn't against it, but he wasn't holding out for Touya either.
Nope, he wasnโ€™t going to pine over someone like he had for Katsuki. He knew what unrequited love felt like and heโ€™d promised himself a long time ago that heโ€™d never go through that torture again.
So if things worked out between him and Touya, cool If not, then he wasn't going to cry over it. ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฑ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ด๐˜ข๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ.

Speaking of ships that had sailedโ€ฆ

โ€œKats! You made it! We were beginning to wonder if you were ever going to show.โ€
Izukuโ€™s shoulders tensed for a brief moment when he heard Kirishima call out to Katsuki. He wasn't surprised that Katsuki was here, this was his familyโ€™s place after all, but even still part of him had hoped that he wouldnโ€™t be bothered to come.
A small part of him had hoped he would.

As shity as it sounded, Izuku wanted to show Katsuki what he was missing. He wanted to show the man whoโ€™d made fun of his feelings that heโ€™d moved on. Most of all?

๐˜๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜’๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜จ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ช๐˜ต.
Refusing to look Katsukiโ€™s way, Izuku pulled out his phone and sent a text to Touya instead.

[To: Dabi ๐Ÿ˜ˆ] - Are you still coming or are you hoping to make a grand entrance?

- Tweet Limit -
Unsurprisingly, Izuku received a call notification on his phone shortly after the text was flagged as seen on his phone.

Swiping to answer it, Izuku grinned wide as he placed the phone to his ear.

๐Ÿ’šโ€œDabi~! Where are you?โ€
๐Ÿ˜ˆโ€œI'm on my way, Freckles, I just stopped to pick up a few things. Itโ€™s rude to show up to a party empty handed, ya know.โ€

๐Ÿ’šโ€œOh? And here I was expecting you to say that YOU were the gift.โ€

๐Ÿ˜ˆโ€œOh, I totally am, but only for you~.โ€
๐Ÿ’šโ€œMmmm, youโ€™re cute. Are you looking for a ski trip repeat?โ€

๐Ÿ˜ˆโ€œYou know I want more than that, Zu, but if youโ€™re up for it~.โ€ Izuku knew that Touya wouldn't refuse the offer if it was made.

๐Ÿ’šโ€œWeโ€™ll see how I feel once you get here, how about that?โ€
๐Ÿ˜ˆโ€œYou got yourself a deal, Freckles. See you soon!โ€

Shaking his head, Izuku ended the call and placed the phone aside. Shoto, ever the quiet observer, gave him a knowing look. โ€œAre you ready to face him, or do you need some more liquid courage?โ€

Katsuki.
Izuku knew it was time. He refused to run away again. No, this time he was going to face his past head on and show his former best friend and crush why he was so damn popular back at UA.

Taking a few more gulps from his beer, he nodded to Shoto. โ€œCome on, you can be my backup.โ€
โ€œAnd your excuse for interaction, itโ€™d be rude not to introduce your friends to the co-host.โ€ Because that was all Katsuki was, the co-host to his parents party.
Ochako and Iida had come as well, but they were currently nowhere to be found and most likely off somewhere making out. Regardless, Shoto wasn't going to leave his side - he knew his and Katsukiโ€™s history and heโ€™d already promised to support him - so he was golden.
Turning, Izuku headed along the side of the pool towards the house. Approaching Katsuki and Kirishima, he smiled. โ€œHey guys, Iโ€™d like you to meet my best friend, Shoto Todoroki. Sho, this is Eijiro Kirishima and Katsuki Bakugo.โ€
It might have been Izukuโ€™s imagination, but he could have sworn he saw Katsuki grimace when he said that Shoto was his ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ.

โ€œ๐˜โ€™๐˜ฅ ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ง๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ, ๐˜š๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฌ๐˜ช.โ€

That f*cking hurt to hear.
Heโ€™d been replaced. But honestly, what did he expect? He and Izuku had barely spoken the last three years and he was growing up. When Katsuki was back in college he hadn't referred to Izuku as his best friend, so why did it hurt that Izuku was following the same lead?
Swallowing that bitter pill, Katsuki smiled and extended his hand to Shoto. โ€œItโ€™s nice to meet you, Shoto, you can call me Katsuki.โ€ Being called โ€˜Bakugoโ€™ made him feel f*cking old and he got enough of it back at his job.
โ€œItโ€™s nice to meet you, Katsuki, Izuku has told me a lot about you.โ€ Shoto said politely, shaking his hand. Kirishima offered his hand as well, grinning happily.
โ€œNever thought Iโ€™d meet the youngest Todoroki heir. Itโ€™s a pleasure. You can call me Eijiro if you like or Kiri, whichever.โ€ A lot of people called him Kiri, including Izuku, so he didn't mind it.
โ€œCan I get a hug, Zuku? I missed you! Itโ€™s been ages, bro!โ€ Kirishima said as he opened his arms and drew Izuku close despite his protests of being wet from the pool. โ€œEh, Iโ€™m going to end up in the water soon anyway, so who cares?โ€
Izuku held Kirishima for a long moment before stepping back.

Katsuki, wanting a hug too, looked at Izuku expectantly. โ€œAnd what about me?โ€
For a brief moment Izuku had this look in his eyes that clearly said, โ€˜What about you?โ€™ but regardless, he stepped up and wrapped his arms around him.
Katsuki didnโ€™t hesitate to draw Izuku close, despite his wet shorts and damp skin. The moment he held the other, he could feel how much Izuku had grown. He was taller now, bulkier, but not in a bad way. He was muscled, filled out in all the right places.
And fuck, it felt good to hold him. And despite the smell of chlorine that clung to him, he could still catch whiffs of his natural pine scent.

That smell brought back so many memoriesโ€ฆ
Katsuki didnt realize he was holding Izuku longer than expected until the other drew back from him. There was a light flush to Izukuโ€™s cheeks but it was nothing to the way he used to blush when hed been a young kid with a crush. That had always been his tell, that deep red blush.
Katsuki had laughed about it once, calling Izuku a strawberry, but nowโ€ฆhe missed seeing those red cheeks. He missed seeing that adoring look in his eyes. ๐˜”๐˜ฐ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฅ ๐˜๐˜ป๐˜ถ๐˜ฌ๐˜ถ'๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ด๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ.

Izuku was all grown up.
Clearing his throat a bit, he looked at the tattoos and piercings. โ€œI like your ink. That piece on your upper arm is pretty cool.โ€

It read, โ€˜๐‘…๐‘’๐‘ ๐‘๐‘’๐‘๐‘ก ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐‘ƒ๐‘Ž๐‘ ๐‘ก, ๐ถ๐‘Ÿ๐‘’๐‘Ž๐‘ก๐‘’ ๐‘กโ„Ž๐‘’ ๐น๐‘ข๐‘ก๐‘ข๐‘Ÿ๐‘’โ€™.
โ€œThanks, itโ€™s one of my favorites.โ€ Izuku shifted his arm, looking down at the design with a little smile on his face.
โ€œGotta admit I never thought youโ€™d get tattoos and piercings, Zuku. You were so straight-laced in high school.โ€ Kirishima voiced the same thought Katsuki had. How did Izuku go from Mr. Valedictorian to Mr. Hotstuff?
Izuku grinned and shrugged. โ€œWhat can I say? UA has been quite an education, right Sho?โ€

โ€œOh yeah, itโ€™s been one wild ride.โ€ Shoto gave Katsuki a knowing look, making him wonder what the hell the half and half bastard was implying.
He and Kirishima knew damn well how crazy things could be in college. The parties, the hook-upsโ€ฆKatsuki didn't like the idea of innocent little Izuku drinking and sleeping around, but he wasn't a kid anymore, was he?

Stillโ€ฆ

โ€œI bet! Iโ€™m happy for you, Bro. You look really happy.โ€

Of course, Kiri would say that. But he wasn't wrong, Izuku did look really happy. Maybe even a littleโ€ฆcocky? Even so, Katsuki found Izuku even more attractive because of it.
โ€œOh, Iโ€™m the happiest Iโ€™ve ever been.โ€ Izuku looked pointedly at ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ when he said that.

โ€œThatโ€™s good to hear. I was beginning to wonder, since we hadnโ€™t heard from you in so long.โ€ Katsuki didn't mean to sound bitter, but he was.
โ€œOh? I just assumed that you wouldn't want to hear from the kid you used to babysit. Thought you had more important things to do, ya know?โ€

โ€œYou might be someone I used to babysit, but youโ€™re still my friend, Deku.โ€
Shoto arched his brow at that. โ€œOne hell of a nickname for someone that you consider a friend.โ€

Kiri gave Katsuki a sympathetic but unsurprised look as if to say, โ€˜Well, heโ€™s not wrongโ€™.
โ€œAs Dekuโ€™s best friend I would have assumed you knew the story behind his nickname.โ€ Katsuki bit back, giving Shoto a challenging look.

โ€œOh no, I know the story, I just think itโ€™s a lame excuse to call someone โ€˜uselessโ€™ and pretend that itโ€™s some cute endearment.โ€
โ€œItโ€™s okay, Sho. If Katsuki wants to call me โ€˜Dekuโ€™ then Iโ€™ll let it slide.โ€ Izuku said with a shrug.

Why isn't he calling him โ€˜Kaachanโ€™ anymore?

{...} = communication between soulmates (internalized/in their minds)

Thank you to the wonderful @bkdkmess for this amazing prompt! I hope I do it justice

Izuku had a soulmate.

Ever since he'd learned what soulmates were and what they could mean, he'd eagerly awaited his 18th birthday. Years seemed to pass by at a snail's pace.
School dragged on and on, but Izuku was diligent. He wanted to make sure he had good grades so that he could get a good job and prove to his soulmate that he was ๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ.

Late night NSFW #BKDK idea ๐Ÿ˜…

#BKDK | cheating (accidental) | Happy Ending?

QL!AU where BK & DK meet at University

๐Ÿ”ž NSFW content ahead
_____
Izuku and Katsuki met during their first year of college and hit it off right away. Katsuki's brash and abrasive attitude complimented Izuku's outgoing and kind nature perfectly.

Their friends said that Izuku 'smoothed out' Katsuki's rough edges.
Izuku was an only child, having grown up in a small coastal town while Katsuki had a brother and grew up in a larger city. The two had met by chance at the campus cafe when their orders had gotten mixed up.

"Why the hell does my cup say 'Deku' on it, hah?!" Katsuki growled.

CW: Cursing, mentions of past cheating

This fic picks up right where Keicchan left offโ€ฆ
โ€œTo the newlyweds!โ€

Raising his glass of champagne, Izuku drank it down like water, the reception hall around him was dead silent.

Handing off the microphone, Izuku set his empty glass aside and stepped away from the stage.

No one knew what to do.
No one knew what to say or how to react.

There were only a few people who knew the past drama and the situation as a whole.
