Summary
An all too familiar voice mumbled a few more words, but Katsuki couldn’t pick up a single one.“Speak up, Deku! You know my ears are shitty now.”
Izuku shuffled closer. He looked better than he had in the hospital. Less teary. Less worn out. But he still had the stupid shaved patch of hair and a bandaid plastered over his cheek. It covered a wound that would leave a scar. At least twenty freckles wiped out in its wake. Pinpricks of grief sparkled through Katsuki for each missing freckle.

OR: A breakdown of all the moments shared by Izuku and Katsuki after the war.

Summary
Katsuki had barely accepted that Eijirou was standing in front of him at all, but now that Eijirou was back in Japan touring apartments with Katsuki, they finally had the privilege of looking into the future. As Eijirou paced around the empty bedroom dressed in jeans, a muscle tank, and the warm afternoon light that had fallen over him, Katsuki saw him in his entirety. Shadows emphasized each muscle, freckle, hair until Katsuki was looking in a kaleidoscope. A cut-together sample of everything he loved about Eijirou.
“Tsuki, what do you think? I think the carpet is nice. It’s super soft like-”
And Katsuki’s phone rang. Ever since he became a teacher, his phone was always ringing. It was Aizawa calling. Eijirou squeezed his arm and let Katsuki step just outside the room to answer the call. “What d’ya need, old man?”
The phone never gave him good news.
------------------
OR: While Katsuki and Kirishima try to settle down, an old villain returns to haunt them. Old unresolved tensions start to chip away at the foundation of their relationship as they try to prepare their students for the next generational threat.This work is a sequel to I Told You So.

Summary
Izuku shoved the phone back into his pocket and began to run out. “The other new teacher should be here any minute! Text me if you have any questions! I’ll see you later!”
“Wait, Deku!” The door shut, making Katsuki’s mouth snap closed. He wasn’t the only newbie. He put his head in his hands and tried to contain the uncertainty bubbling in him.
“Bakugou?” A voice called across the room.
Katsuki knew that voice in an instant. “Kirishima?” He asked the question before he even turned around to look at Kirishima. He looked exactly like he did the last time that Katsuki saw him, except that he had aged like a fine wine. He still had that red spiky hair and the same stupid, shirtless hero costume. Katsuki couldn't even remember the last time they were in a room together. What was that? Seven– no eight years ago?
--------------------------------------
OR: At Aizawa's request, Katsuki becomes the new homeroom teacher for class 1-A. He isn't expecting the new class B teacher to be Kirishima, the man he used to be in love with in high school, who's been overseas for the last eight years.Series

Summary
Katsuki had to take advantage of this moment, or he might not get it again. “I came here to tell you something.” The way Kirishima’s eyes widened made Katsuki’s heart beat faster.
“Oh. Good, ‘cause– um… I was gonna tell you something too.”
Fuck. At this point Katsuki’s heart was beating so loud it was all he could feel and hear. An all-consuming rhythm, shaking his body. There was the smallest chance that Kirishima was holding the same words on his tongue that Katsuki had been tasting for months. I like you. I want you. I need you. Something was fluttering in Katsuki’s chest. It was almost nostalgic to feel it. Hope.
----------------------------------------------
OR: Katsuki finally gets the guts to confess to Kirishima before they move out of UA, but Kirishima confesses something else to him first. This is a prequel one-shot to the fic I Told You So. If you haven't read it this one shot can still be read without context!Series

Summary
Kirishima sounded too excited over the phone. "I was hoping that you’d be able to pick up something from that restaurant we like on the way back?” Katsuki groaned at the idea. “You know the one– Ugh, what’s the name?”
“I know. The Onigiri place. No fucking way.” Katsuki turned to the sidewalk in front of him as he spoke his next words. “We don’t need to get takeout again, Ei. Be fucking happy that I want to cook for yo–.” When he looked up, he saw a row of reporters less than a foot away from him with microphones in front of his face. They had definitely heard that. Katsuki wished that he was dead. He wished the reporters were dead, too.

Summary
They made it through the whole first unit before Katsuki stood up. “I’m going to the vending machine. I’m not going to teach your dumb ass on an empty stomach.” Eijirou looked at him for a second, completely unsure of what to do. “Don’t just sit there, shitty hair.”
This only made Eijirou more confused. “Are you telling me to come with you?”
Katsuki rolled his eyes like Eijirou should've been able to answer that question in his sleep. “Holy shit, you’re really an idiot. Yes. You can come with.”

“Oh! Kacchan! Hi, uh, I was uh–”
Deku’s voice was cut off by the sound of someone grabbing the phone. “Who is this?”
“Dr. Aichiyo from the radio show Open Heart. You’re live.”

Summary
“Ok.” Izuku let out a breath. “Well, what I was trying to say was that I like it when you talk to me. And you’ve already helped me out, so I owe you.”
Katsuki shook his head. “You don’t owe me shit, Izuku.”
Izuku gave him a closed-mouth smile. He seemed to be smiling to soothe himself like it was a bandaid over a wound of guilt that couldn’t stop bleeding. “I do. It’s overdue, actually. I owe you a lot, so let me pay you back.”

Summary
Katsuki kneeled down in front of the kid. “With an attitude like that, you’d be kick-ass–”
Eijirou’s eyes went wide. “Katsuki!”
Oh. The swearing. “Whatever… Kick butt. You’d be a kick-butt hero.” He held out his hand in a fist so that the girl could reach over and give him a fist bump. He gave Eijirou the side eye. He saw that look on Eijirou’s face again. All wide-eyed and hopeful. That look had his heart in a chokehold. He didn’t know if he loved it or hated it. “It doesn’t have the same ring as kick-ass…”

Eijirou put his face in his hands. “I think I fucked up, and I don’t think I can go back, so now I have to do something that might end up with me being exploded in a million pieces.”
Mina’s eyebrows rose. “Wait, does this have something to do with Bakugou? Or are you just going to complain about your massive crush on him again?”

Summary
“If I’m your fake boyfriend in front of your mom you have to be my fake boyfriend at a private event.” Kirishima’s tone was playful, but non-negotiable. That had never stopped Katsuki before.
“What the fuck kind of ‘private event’ are you talking about?” Katsuki asked.
“A hero’s retreat. Fatgum paid for his agency and some other pros to go, but it’s couples only. He had to split the agency in half so it wasn’t left unstaffed, but he said that I could go with the top pros if I brought a date with me.”
Katsuki held eye contact with Kirishima for a moment. Kirishima didn't even blink. Bakugou wasn’t used to the man being so… stubborn? “Fine.” Before Kirishima could celebrate. “I’ll think about it.”

Suddenly the man collapsed, his knees hitting the ground hard like the weight of the world had finally crumpled him. He started breathing like every breath was going to be his last.

“Hey, Kat, are you listening?”
Usually, a rebuttal would fly out of Katsuki’s mouth, but he was hit by the truck that was the word, Kat. He went stiff and felt himself blush. Kirishima stopped walking and turned to him.

Shoko gave them both a sheepish smile. “Sorry!”
