    Summary

    How Izuku has loved Katsuki over the years. A character and relationship study.

    “You,” he says, but his voice comes out strange, thick. Katsuki clears his throat once, then continues: “You never said where you were going, nerd.”

    He is seventeen years old, and he cannot make himself move. There on the precipice, his dreams dangle before him; he needs only to make that leap and that quirkless, fatherless boy will fall to the wayside for Pro Hero Deku to take his place.

    But Izuku does not jump. He looks over his shoulder, and he waits. He is seventeen years old and in love, searching for the boy who was always supposed to be in front of him to find and to follow.

    Summary

    Four times Katsuki apologized to Izuku. A character and relationship study, using apology languages.

    The sincerity in Izuku’s eyes makes Katsuki’s chest cave in, just a little. “I just wish people knew the Kacchan I know.”

    A scoff is all Katsuki can offer Izuku in reply. No one knows Katsuki the way Izuku does. Isn’t that the point? They’ve known each other their entire lives. From beginning to end, it’s been Deku and Kacchan. They’re inevitable; they’re interwoven. They’ve never been able to run away from each other, even when they wanted to. Now that they’ve found a rhythm with one another, it’s…

    Katsuki swallows as he studies the fondness in Izuku’s eyes, the one he’s not used to even after all these years.

    written for twin stars week 2021, "atonement."

    Summary

    “You can ask questions later,” Katsuki says through his teeth, “Just play along and I’ll pay you, alright?”

    The stranger tilts his head at him, bewildered, baffled. Somewhere past all the panic and the desperation, Katsuki realizes he’s beautiful. When he grins, Katsuki is disarmed, unraveled.

    “You can write the check out to the children’s hospital,” he says. “Thanks!”

    Fuck, Katsuki thinks as he lets the door open and takes a good look at the pink-cheeked, freckle-faced stranger he’s convinced to be his boyfriend for the night, I hate Christmas.

    Katsuki realizes he’s at a singles party far too late. To escape, he asks a donation collector to be his boyfriend for the night.

    Summary

    “Do you feel any different, Kacchan?” Izuku asks suddenly.

    “Hah? What do you mean?”

    “You know…” Izuku reaches out and touches the twin stones hanging from Katsuki’s neck. “Now that everyone knows we’re married.”

    Izuku and Katsuki get married twice. Once for their kingdoms, and once on a quiet night under the stars.

    Summary

    His confession is out in the open, along with the hundreds of other ways Izuku has tried to tell Katsuki exactly this. In longing glances and the brush of his hand against carved cheeks, in whispered secrets that came close to the truth—but never so plainly like this, as Izuku says, “I always want you, Kacchan. Even when it’s not summer.”

    “You’re not just a fling to me either, dumbass,” Katsuki says, eyes still fixed where the sun slipped under the waters.

    Every summer since they were twelve, Izuku and Katsuki find each other in the small beach town of Musutafu. On what may be their last summer together, they consider what's to come in autumn.
