#krdk, stranger to lovers, fake dating, college au, mention of cheating (there's no actual cheating), mention of mndk

summary: izuku has an imaginary boyfriend that looks a little bit too much like someone else.

---

when izuku gets asked out by monoma neito, he panics and

says he's already got a boyfriend. when the other boy keeps demanding for a date, he adds more layers to his lie. and when he finally gives in and goes to that fair with monoma,

he finds himself in a love triangle with a boy he doesn't really wanna date and one that doesn't even exist.

---

when he tells him, kacchan finds it hilarious.

"so you mean to tell me that you're cheating on an imaginary boyfriend now?" he asks from the top of the bunk

bed.

"don't be mean," izuku pouts at his dormmate. "i really wanted to go to that fair."

katsuki only laughs harder. "you're *cheating* on someone that doesn't even exist."

"you already said that," izuku rolls his eyes. "now he wants me to break up with him."

katsuki raises a brow. "or what?" he asks.

"or he'll tell him himself."

his friend immediately bursts into another fit of laughter.

"this shit is so funny," he says. "wait till i tell aunty about this—"

"don't!" izuku interrupts him. "don't do this... please."

katsuki stops laughing and stares at him incredulously. "don't tell me..." he starts as izuku avoids his gaze, "... don't tell me she believes it too?"

"it's not my fault!" he protests. "she heard about the rumors

and she was so happy i didn't have the heart to tell her."

at this point, katsuki is only laughing harder and harder.

"take your time," izuku waves, "i've got homeworks to do anyway."

"wait!" katsuki stops him before he can put his helmet back on.

"what does he look like?"

"what?"

"your boyfriend," he says. "you must've given details about him, especially to your mom."

"well," izuku thinks, "to begin with, he's really sweet and caring."

rolling his chair, he turns to the window and stares at the clouds in the sky. "he takes me on picnic dates and we eat strawberries together. sometimes we go to the lake on our bikes and he carries me to the water despite my protests because it's very cold,"

he chuckles. "we stay there until the night falls, then we dance under the stars..."

izuku takes a moment to think about it; he imagines himself falling asleep into his sweet boyfriend's embrace after they escalated back to his room, using the window to not wake up his mom.

"you're down sooo bad for that nonexistent person," katsuki finally breaks the silence, "no wonder everyone thinks you're a cheating piece of sh—"

izuku interrupts him by throwing him a random notebook that was on his desk, but he soon realizes his mistake when

katsuki starts to read it.

"is that *him*?" katsuki asks. "red hair, red eyes, sharp smile? oh! /told mina he was in another college when she tried to set me up with uraraka/? she did that?"

"well," izuku scratches his neck. "she did last year."

"so he's also in the baseball team of that colleg— wait, last year?" katsuki looks up from the notebook. "how long have you been together?"

"two years," he whispers.

katsuki laughs again. "two *years*?"

"our anniversary is in three weeks," he adds.

"cute."

silence envelopes them as Katsuki continues to read the notebook. izuku has keep a record of everything he's ever told there, so he doesn't lose himself in the lie.

"so, what's his name?" katsuki asks when he's done.

"well, i never gave him a name but remember that one time i asked you to call me because that toga girl kept asking for my number?"

"oh yeah the crazy one," he hummed.

"i had changed your name for 'K' and told her you were my boyfriend, so now everyone think his name

starts with a k."

"that's actually hilarious."

"it's not," izuku protests. "i'm a cheater."

"your boyfriend should've known better than let another man take you to a fair."

izuku can only glare as his friend.

katsuki rolls his eyes and throws him the notebook back.

"i said what i said."
