    Summary

    “We aren’t lovers,” Atsumu protested.

    “We’re not even friends,” Kiyoomi added.

    “Regardless, a photo of you two—” Foster paused, seemingly searching for words. “Canoodling, to put it lightly, is splashed all over the news and social media —”

    “Canoodling,” Atsumu repeated. “It was a drunken mistake—”

    “It was a moment of weakness,” Kiyoomi interjected.

    “We cannot afford another scandal,” Foster said with finality. “We’re telling everyone you’re in a relationship.”

    (Or: A scandalous photo of Miya Atsumu and Sakusa Kiyoomi taken during an ill-advised one night stand goes viral. To save face, it's agreed that they should pretend they’re in a relationship.)

    Summary

    “I hate you,” Katsuki says, hot, angry tears streaking his face. “I can’t stand what you do to me.”

    “And what the fuck exactly is it that I do to you, Kacchan? All I’ve ever done my entire life is admire you, look up to you, even when you didn’t deserve it-”

    “It’s your fucking scent!” He cries. “I can’t ever get it out of my fucking brain, it’s got a fucking chokehold round my throat, or something!”

    ***

    It's unsurprising to Bakugou Katsuki when his childhood friend/pain-in-the-ass Midoriya Izuku presents as an Omega. Anyone could've predicted it a mile off.

    What is surprising to him, is that no matter what he does, he can't seem to get the goddamn shitty little nerd's scent out of his head.

    OR: what if everything Bakugou ever said and did was a consequence of Deku's smell?

    Summary

    ‘Hajime still loves Oikawa, but he understands now. Oikawa can't look at him and see someone he could potentially date.

    And that makes it easier to not focus on the little things that used to drive him crazy—Oikawa's long legs, the way he's always hanging off of Hajime, how his whole face changes when he gets ready for a jump serve, and he looks like he could take on the entire world and win.

    This new arrangement though, this living together situation, is presenting a new set of variables that must be adjusted to, and the nakedness is one of them.’

    --

    For years, being Oikawa’s best friend has worked out fine. Hajime is hopelessly in love with him, but it’s enough. Then Oikawa—who, by all accounts, has never been anything but determinedly, assuredly straight—gets a boyfriend. Or a boy friend-with-benefits. Hajime doesn’t know, and he doesn’t give a shit about the definition.

    What he knows is that remaining best friends is starting to seem a bit too painful (way too painful) to be considered a solid option.

    Summary

    Kiyoomi is of cities and traffic jams, but Miya is the native speaker of whatever language seasons speak to crops and, for all he tends to act childish and impatient, he’s relaxed with time, nursing it like a beer.

    Like honey, Kiyoomi thinks as he watches him, dripping off a spoon.

    On timing, or: a relationship in reverse.

    Summary

    “What would their relationship have been like, if Bakugou’s pride hadn’t stood in the way? Would they have been friends, or would things have mostly stayed the same? Would Bakugou have been happier, more open and honest about his feelings and wants and needs as a person? Would he have accepted and even appreciated the comfort others offered him, rather than always keeping people at arm’s-length in an effort to maintain an image of independence and strength?

    Todoroki didn’t know.

    He didn’t know. But he wanted to.

    Abruptly, like a bolt of lightning, he realized he actually had the chance to find out.”

    (Or: that one where Bakugou has temporary amnesia and Todoroki is tasked with caring for him until his memory returns, but ends up falling in love with the part of Bakugou that Bakugou has always kept hidden away instead.)
