With the streets filled with snow, the air so cold it felt heavy on their bodies, they found themselves cuddled up under the blankets. It was in the middle of winter, their schooldays preventing them from seeing much daylight. Even now, as they were supposed to rise, it was still very dark out. The sun would come up in a few hours, finally showing its shiny face to the world.
But for now they were still holed up under the blankets, cherishing that bit of warmth they still had left.
Unfortunately Izuku had left the window open just a crack, to let in some fresh air during the night. He was not as prone to get cold as Katsuki was. Could walk around in a t-shirt when temperatures had reached way below zero degrees Celsius. Katsuki on the other hand preferred the heat. Summertime was his time. Winter cut into his energy. Made him shiver, and shake, teeth clattering. He hated it. Hated everything about winter. The snow, the wind, the icy streets that made it hard to walk on. There had been numerous times where he had almost slipped and fell. Not that he’d ever admit that.
And now he found himself a shivering mess, even while fully covered by Izuku’s duvet, and with the warmth of the other pressed against him.
“Why is it so fucking cold,” he said through clenched teeth, burying his face in Izuku’s neck to get that chill out of the tip of his nose.
Blearily Izuku looked around, trying to pinpoint what was different in his room. He shifted a bit in his spot, trying to adjust his position, but with Katsuki’s arms firmly wrapped around his waist, he had nowhere to go. “Kacchan, let go,” he whined, pushing against Katsuki’s hip with his hand.
“No, it’s too fucking cold. You need to keep me warm.”
Izuku just sighed in return, settling back into the bed, and wriggling further in Katsuki’s hold until he was comfortable again. A few seconds ticked by, both boys enjoying those last few minutes before their alarm would go off, signalling it was time to get out of bed, and get ready for another school day. At least they had cancelled training outside. Katsuki no longer had to trudge through the snow, unless he was at his internship.
Stupid snow making crime rates get higher as well. Can’t everyone just stay inside?
“Kacchan,” Izuku whined again, this time pulling at Katsuki’s hands around his waist, though not with much effort. Izuku could easily force Katsuki to let go. “Too tight.”
Instead of loosening his hold, Katsuki actually squeezed tighter, pressing his bare body flush against Izuku’s. Every part of his front was connected with Izuku’s back, absorbing every bit of heat the other released. It was glorious to be enveloped by it. Have it completely surrounding him like this. With his arms around Izuku, he tugged him even closer. Held him as snug as he could. Breathed in Izuku’s scent through his hair. The sweaty heavy musk after a long night of being locked together in different ways.
“Kacchan, I’m not…” Izuku said, shifting in Katsuki’s arms to give himself more room. He tossed his leg up, trying to give himself more air, but it was all futile. All it made Katsuki do, was wrap himself tighter around his body.
Not only with his arms now, but he had one leg thrown over a thick thigh, capturing Izuku’s lower body as much as he had done with his upper.
“Stop moving, Deku,” Katsuki gritted out, baring his teeth and biting down on the flesh of the back of Izuku’s neck.
Izuku yelped, instantly pushing himself away from his lover, with a lot more force this time. He was clearly aggravated, throwing off the duvet to step out of bed, leaving Katsuki out in the cold as well.
Groaning loudly in annoyance Katsuki quickly threw the blanket back over himself, pulling it up all the way to his nose. But he wouldn’t cover his whole face. Not when he still had such a sight to see. With every step Izuku took, his behind moved from left to right, jiggling lightly. It was nice to see the muscles tighten in those thick thighs. Imagine them being locked around Katsuki, hold onto him while he rocked into Izuku’s body. Images of the night before flittered through, making Katsuki let out a soft pleased sigh.
The window was shut with a quick angry tug, Izuku stomping away from it to get something from his closet. Taking a few things out he returned to the bed, his sleepy eyes downturned into an annoyed grimace.
“Put on clothes if you’re so cold,” he muttered, throwing some sleepwear towards Katsuki’s head, who begrudgingly pulled it away from his face, and instantly threw it to the floor, making Izuku heave a sigh. “And you can always get another blanket. You know I have one.”
Out came the soft fluffy blanket Katsuki adored so much during winter time. Inko had given it to Izuku when they were little, the print making it a winner among the two children. Brandishing All Might all over the front, with his familiar wide smile, had sent a glee to their hearts as they quickly cuddled under it.
Now the coloured print had faded a lot, only a shadow of All Might still present. The fleece had worn out too, it not as soft as it once had been. Katsuki loved it nonetheless. It felt and smelled like home. A time he had enjoyed a lot. He thought of spending time with the Midoriyas, and the toys he used to get.
Carefully Izuku placed it on top of his bed, Katsuki instantly grabbing the edge and pulling it higher up, humming in delight as he instantly felt a lot warmer.
“Scoot over a little bit, so I can get in too,” Izuku said softly, tapping against Katsuki’s shoulder, who was now taking over the whole bed. In his defence, it was not a big bed, made only for one person really.
Not that they’d choose to have a bigger bed in their dorm rooms. It was still frowned upon for students to share their beds with other students, and they rather not raise more suspicions, even if almost their entire class already knew that they were seeing each other. As long as there was no clear evidence, they were good.
Plus, they did enjoy to sleep close together. It gave them both something to hold onto. Their minds were more at ease when they felt someone near. The other most importantly. It was a reassurance that both needed to sleep comfortably at night. It’s why they were prone to spent the night together. Almost always one of their rooms was left empty. More often it was Izuku’s that was left abandoned, Katsuki not in favour of having all this All Might merch surrounding him while he slept. But there were times where he gave in, Izuku’s room being a lot closer to the common room.
The few centimetres Katsuki moved to the side was all Izuku got to get back into bed.
With an eyeroll he did just that, folding the blanket back over, so he could slip under, letting some extra cold air hit Katsuki’s nude body. Just to torture his lover a little more.
Once Izuku had settled back onto the mattress, duvet and extra blanket covering his body again, his head propped on the pillow, Katsuki was instantly on him. Arms flitted back around Izuku’s body, leg thrown over Izuku’s hip, and head buried in the crook of his neck.
Truthfully it wasn’t all about heat. Katsuki didn’t just need Izuku this close, because he needed his warmth. There were other motives. Ulterior motives. Katsuki wanted the comfort. Wanted to hold Izuku so tight, so that he felt how enraptured Katsuki’s heart felt sometimes. It was to convey feelings Katsuki didn’t know how to explain. Didn’t have words for, or was too scared to really say out loud. And so Izuku had to do with hugs and hums, bites and kisses. And most of the time Izuku accepted it, knowing Katsuki well enough.
“Kacchan, please…” Izuku started to whine again, struggling in Katsuki’s hold, and then their soft cuddle session was interrupted by the blaring of Izuku’s alarm.
Another heavy sigh slipped from Izuku’s lips as he reached for his phone, quickly turning it off to make the loud sound stop. Placing the phone back on his nightstand, Izuku turned around on the bed, this time facing Katsuki rather than showing his back.
“We gotta get up,” Izuku muttered, clearly not ready yet.
Staring deeply into those bright green eyes, seeing sleep still clear in their depths, Katsuki found himself happy with a decision he made yesterday. “I set it early. We have about ten more minutes.”
“Really?” Izuku said excitedly, watching a sliver of a smile form on Katsuki’s lips. “Oh, thank god.” He buried his face deeper into his pillow, a moan spilling from his lips as he relished in the comfort of his bed. “Why did you do that anyway?” he asked as an afterthought, not really caring what the answer may be.
Katsuki shrugged, shifting a little closer until his face was right beside Izuku’s. “Thought we may want to get up early and take a long shower after last night.”
Which was not a stupid thought, considering they both were still sticky, too lazy to clean themselves off the night prior. And considering they hadn’t used any condoms, it got quite messy. Or at least they both felt very dirty afterwards when they did not clean off properly. Even a wet rag would’ve saved them, but it had been late, their brains fried after a particular torturous study session with some of the others. And now they didn’t care much either, opting for a quick shower right before class.
A deep blush settled on Izuku’s cheeks as he remembered the night before too, cheeky smile forming on his plump lips. “We can just take the long shower after we get back from class,” he offered.
“Oh, I will probably need it then, just to get warm,” Katsuki hummed, not replying to Izuku the way the other had wanted.
A playful push against his shoulder said as much, but that smile on Izuku’s lips told Katsuki that he knew his lover was teasing. Katsuki had never rejected sharing a shower with Izuku, even when others were around. Their classmates be damned. And even if most of their friends thought they were doing it like bunnies, it wasn’t really the case. Most of the time it was just about spending time together. Be surrounded by the energy of their partner in times they felt least like themselves. Tears had been shed, fights had been had, emotions had toppled over, spilled to the floor for the other to hopefully catch. Sex was nice, but so were all the other things.
Like waking up with their lover right next to them.
Placing his hand against the side of Katsuki’s face, Izuku softly caressed his cheek with his thumb, staring deep into ruby eyes. Katsuki knew what was about to come. Saw it flicker in those bright green depths. Carefully he placed his arms back around Izuku’s waist, tugging Izuku closer with a lot less force than before.
And as Izuku settled back into his new place on the bed, he brought his face closer to Katsuki’s, and pressed a soft kiss against his lips.
That initial press deepened, easily moulding into something familiar. Lazily their tongues rolled together, sighing into it as they found themselves awakening to something warmer. It was soft, and sweet, a lingering promise to something that was still too come. There was no set plan for it. Nothing that would come out of it. A kiss that needed to happen between them right as their morning routine would start.
With arms now wrapped around his neck, their bodies turned so that Katsuki found himself on top of Izuku again, they broke the kiss for a moment. Stared longingly at each other, knowing the cold was beckoning them to get out.
“Just a few more minutes?” Izuku offered, biting his lip almost shyly.
Even if Katsuki hated the cold, it may just be these wintery mornings he loved most, as long as Izuku was right there with him.
