Childhood Friends

Summary:

Katsuki has tried suppressing his feelings for Deku for years now. As much as he wishes he could ask her out, he knows she doesn't see him that way— that they're only friends… and he's accepted that (though very begrudgingly).

But when his old friend Camie suddenly appears in his life again, his relationship with Deku becomes a little weird. Camie keeps insisting Deku likes him, but her actions say differently.

Will Katsuki take the chance and confess to Deku? Or will the fear of ruining their friendship keep him from uttering a word?

Chapter 1: The Dissolution of a Partnership

Notes:

Here's my submission for the BakuDeku Big Bang 2021. It's the flip side to Just Friends. You don't really need to have read that one first or at all to understand this one, but there are some intertwining points. Give it a read if you want, or dont. lol Up to you. (:

Also, take a peek at the artwork my partnered artist did! As well as her other works here!

And a huge shoutout to my awesome beta, Sasanoo!!!
