Chapter Text
Izuku stood on the street corner, holding a box tight to his chest while leaning against several more. A duffel bag sat at his feet while he leaned back and forth, waiting the car to pull around.
Izuku tapped his fingers on the box, anxiety crawling up within him. What if this was a mistake? How could he abandon his mother like this? What if it was all a big prank and Kacchan wasn’t coming back?
Izuku’s heart dropped at the thought of that. He hadn’t told Kacchan yet, and probably never would, but he had grown to realize he had a huge crush on his best friend. It had always been there, but when you’re being bullied for miscommunication here for years... it’s hard to realize you’re gay.
A few minutes of continued anxiety later, the car pulled in front of the apartment complex. Izuku smiled in relief as Kacchan’s scowling face exited the passenger seat.
“Got everything, Deku?”
Izuku nodded. “Everything I could get out before he showed up.”
Katsuki shook his head. “Still got your key?”
Izuku nodded in confusion. Katsuki grinned.
“Hey, old man!”
“What is it, Katsuki?” Marsaru questioned, already loading boxes into the car.
“Wanna go up to talk to Zuku’s dad with me?”
Izuku had never seen Mr. Bakugou have a mean look before, but this one was killer.
“I’d love to, Katsuki. You boys stay here, I’ll go grab the rest of your things.”
