Chapter Text
It was Izuku’s turn to sit on the couch while Katsuki made a call. He felt terrible forcing Katsuki to stay- not to mention he might have gotten him sick!- but he was kind of glad he was here.
Izuku has been pretty much alone for days now, and seeing Kacchan has been the most fun he has had in a long time. Not that seeing Kacchan wasn’t normally fun. Really if anything Izuku enjoyed seeing Kacchan too much.
“-FUCKIN NO, HAG, WE DONT NEED-.... YES PUT THE POKÉMO-...DONT YOU- NO- UGH. FINE. See you in a bit.” Katsuki came back into the living room. “The old hag will come by in a bit to bring some stuff for me. I had her pack some movies and games since I know your obsessive nerd ass doesn’t have anything that isn’t All Might related.”
“Oh, come on , Kacchan! Not everything I own is All Might merchandise!”
“Name one movie you’ve seen in the last year that wasn’t an All Might documentary.”
“...”
“Exactly”
Katsuki sat back down on the couch, “Anyways, she said she’d bring us groceries when she goes shopping so we don’t have to worry about food.”
“That’s really nice of her. I’m sorry to inconvenience both of you like this.”
“It’s whatever,” Katsuki said, turning his head away, “she probably would have done it even if I wasn’t here.”
“Still, I’m sorry.”
“Yeah yeah, it’s fine. Now turn up the volume on the tv, I think they’re talking about conspiracy theories.”
About an hour later Katsuki got a text.
“The hag said she put my stuff at the door” He said, getting up. “I’ll be right back.”
“Wait, Kacchan, I’ll help. I want to wave thanks to Aunt Mitsuki.”
Katsuki finished putting on his face mask, “then come on, nerd.”
Izuku grabbed his mask and followed him to the door. There were two duffle bags as well as a box filled with snacks outside.
“HEY, BRAT, BE GOOD TO YOUR BOYFRIEND AND STAY SAFE!” Below the building Mitsuki was waving towards them and shouting.
Izuku blushed. B-boyfriend... Kacchan has a boyfriend? Wait did she think he was-
“HE’S NOT MY BOYFRIEND, OLD HAG! STOP MAKING THE NERD FLUSTERED.”
“Uhh- it’s alright, Kacchan.” Izuku leaned over the railing so he could see his aunt better. “THANK YOU FOR HELPING! I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE TROUBLE.”
“ITS NO PROBLEM, KID. YOU'RE DOING ME A HUGE FAVOR GETTING THE GREMLIN OUT OF THE HOUSE!” She stopped to check her phone, “I GOT TO GO. HAVE FUN. - OH AND KATSUKI, MAKE SURE TO SEND ME THE GROCERY LIST TOMORROW!”
“YEAH I GOT IT, BYE!” Katsuki said turning back to the apartment. “Come on, Deku.”
“BYE, AUNT MITSUKI!” And with that they went back inside.
The rest of the day went pretty smoothly, all things considered. Izuku finished his notes on hero safety equipment while Katsuki played Pokémon on his switch, stopping every once in a while to help Izuku.
It was nice having someone to talk about his notes with. While most of his friends found his notes interesting and helpful at times, they didn’t really want to talk about hero stuff 24/7. Izuku understood that- after all they spent all their time in school thinking about hero stuff, they deserved a break- but he had spent his whole life thinking about hero stuff and now that he was finally close to becoming a hero he wasn’t going to stop.
Of course, Kacchan was the same as him- always thinking about his goal and how to reach it. He pushed himself past everyone’s expectations and learned everything he could.
That’s what made sharing his notes with Kacchan seem so natural- even if he didn’t write it down like Izuku did, he was always observing and noting things in his mind.
“Hey, Deku, you hungry yet?” Katsuki called from across the couch.
Izuku’s stomach growled at the thought of food, “uh, yeah, I guess.”
“Great. I’m gonna go get the food I brought.” Katsuki said as he went to the kitchen.
“Thank you.”
“Yeah yeah. Just make sure to eat it all.”
After a couple minutes Katsuki returned with two bowls of food and placed one on the table right in front of Izuku. “Eat.”
“Wha- katsudon?!? You didn’t tell me you brought me katsudon!” Izuku said as he rushed to move his notes aside and get to his bowl.
“You didn’t ask.” Katsuki sat back on the couch. “Make sure to finish it.”
“Thanks for the food.”
After dinner is done and cleaned up Katsuki starts getting ready for bed.
“I’m gonna go shower. Set up the futon in your room for me, okay?” Katsuki says after a yawn.
“W-wait you’re staying in my room?”
“Duh. Where the fuck else am I gonna stay?”
“Well, you could use my mom’s room if you want or if that makes you too uncomfortable I could take her room and you can have my bed or I could set up the futon in the living room-“
“Just shut up and set up the futon in your room already, nerd,” Katsuki says as he goes into the bathroom.
Izuku sighs and goes to put the futon in his room.
