Work Text:
Katsuki wakes up to an empty bed like he does everyday.
He groans before getting out of bed, and walks to the kitchen the first this he sees is where Izuku’s coffee cup sits, his red lip balm stain barely visible.
Katsuki side smiles at it before grabbing a cup from the counter and pour himself some hot water and makes tea.
Peppermint fills his senses while taking his first sip.
After Katsuki is done he gets ready for work, he has patrol with Eijiro today.
After Katsuki is done getting ready he head to his and Izuku’s agency.
After UA they had gone their separate ways for a while, working for different agency’s but found that they wanted to be closer with each other.
So they made their own agency called “DynaDeku”. Katsuki thought the name was silly but after some thought, time and sex, Katsuki came to love it.
Over time the agency grew and quickly became the agency to work at.
While Katsuki walks to the locker room to change into his gear he gets stopped by Eijiro.
“Hey bro, have you seen Midoriya today?” He asks.
“No.” Katsuki says before walking away before Eijiro can say anything else.
“This is gonna be a long patrol.” Katsuki thought.
and he was right.
After Katsuki and Eijiro got of work Katsuki walked home the cold night air wind hitting his face making his cheek and nose red.
Katsuki gets home and take his jacket off and his shoes slips on his slippers and heads the the bedroom where he grabs one of Izuku’s All mights shirts and slips it on.
The nice sent of mint and lavender invade his senses quickly relaxing him.
He shuffles to the kitchen where he makes dinner and sits down and eats.
An hour passes by and no Izuku yet, but he’ll always wait for him.
Katsuki grabs a shot glass and some high end vodka left over from Katsuki and Izuku’s engagement party and pours himself a drink.
One drink turns into two and two turns into four.
“Hey Kacchan.” Izuku says from behind him.
“Finally you show up.” Katsuki says as he turns around. “I’ve been waiting for you, you were pretty late today.” He follows with.
“Yeah I know something happened I guess and it took me longer to get here.” Izuku whispers.
“Wanna dance?” Katsuki says while turning on some slow music.
“Of course I’d love to dance with you Kacchan, I’d never say no to you.” Izuku beams.
Katsuki walks over to him and grabs his hand.
And for the next hour they talk and dance together.
“Izuku, I love you.” Katsuki wishers in his ear.
“I love you too Kacchan.” Izuku whispers back.
Katsuki by this point is very drunk, so whatever come out of his mouth just goes.
“Kacchan.” Izuku says.
Katsuki stops him from saying anything he doesn’t want this moment to end, but deep inside of his mind he knows it has to.
“I have to go.” Izuku says.
And that’s what makes Katsuki’s walls crumble, tear flow his eyes and drain like water falls down his cheeks.
“Don’t leave me.” Katsuki says.
“I’ll see you tomorrow Kacchan.” Izuku says.
“Please.” Katsuki says again with broken sobs.
“You know I can’t stay.” Izuku says.
“Can we at least dance a little longer.” Katsuki asks.
“Of course.” Izuku says while running his soft warm hand across his cheek.
And so they dance and before Katsuki knows it Izuku’s ghostly figure is disappearing from his sight, Izuku’s soft smile and his I loves you mean so much more now.
and then he’s left dancing on his own.
He knows his feet don’t move like they do with him, so he sits on the floor huddled in a ball, tears once again flowing like water falls.
“I miss you Izuku.” He whispers.
And it almost feels like Izuku’s hugging him.
Katsuki never saw Izuku again after that night.
And after more drinking ever night he finally came to his senses that Izuku was gone.
The empty bed he wakes up in everyday feels even more empty, the barely visible lip balm stained coffee cups stay right where it is everyday.
He’d never forget that day.
The day Izuku clung to him like a life line, bleeding and wounded.
“I love you Kacchan, but I think it’s time.” Izuku says.
Katsuki wouldn’t believe it he wouldn’t let it happen.
Izuku pulled him into a kiss with the remaining strength he had and passed it on.
“I love you Katsuki.” Izuku whispers
Dying in his lovers arms.
“I love you Izuku.” Katsuki says with broken sobs.
