Chapter Text
Katsuki had always dreamed of this moment, the normally impassive blonde who shows a sincere and warm smile tonight as he reaches out to izuku.
"Will you give me that dance? nerd "
Izuku responds automatically with a small smile "Of course, kacchan"
The two moved on the track, it was quite late, and the air was sweeping the environment around them, the touch of their hands intertwining, their slow movement stretched out as they followed the beat of the music, how many times the blond had imagined holding izuku's hand, feeling his warmth and reassuring scent, after all, they had been through their relationship had evolved, and today izuku and katsuki were able to talk to each other normally, always next to each other and yet so far
This is what katsuki thought sending the face of his childhood friend, he thought back to how during all those years, for fear of engaging in a relationship, of getting attached, or even of ending up with a broken heart, he had denied the feelings that had settled in him, when he felt something when he saw izuku's face, or how his heart rate would speed up when he heard the greenette's soft laugh, the blonde was able to stand there at watching him for hours to tell him how beautiful he was and that he wanted to be by his side, to wake up next to him every morning, to be able to touch his freckled cheeks that made him endearing and endearing. to be able to count them, to say the three words to him knowing that they will not be exclusively intended for him and no one else or to return home together hand in hand while enjoying the life they had
As the music began to play, izuku and katsuki positioned themselves, taking the time to look at each other, the blond's piercing red eyes met Izuku's emerald green eyes, Katsuki then took the time to observe his face, his eyes which stood out in the small evening light, his curly hair or his gaze which was sincere and happy
You booked the night train for a reason
So you could sit there in this hurt
Bustling crowds or silent sleepers
You're not sure which is worse
The song's lyrics set a rhythm as Izuku hesitantly put a hand on his shoulder, and katsuki gently ran his hand across his back.
Because I dropped your hand while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
Their hands found each other, and in a soft motion, they grabbed together, this touch made the two shiver as they looked at each other in surprise before continuing where they were.
You had a speech, you're speechless
Love slipped beyond your reaches
And I couldn't give a reason
Champagne problems
Izuku then approaches the blonde to look at him with wide eyes that katsuki knew very well, those eyes that said "thank you", those eyes that had to transcribe the emotion, those magnificent eyes that had made katsuki fall in love
They both knew words weren't necessary, their gestures were always symbolic, and no matter the situation, each could transcribe the other's thoughts with a simple glance.
As the melody fell into place, the two looked at each other without letting go of each other's eyes, enjoying each other's company.
Your Midas touch on the Chevy door
November flush and your flannel cure
"This dorm was once a madhouse"
I made a joke, "Well, it's made for me"
Izuku then rests his head on the blond's shoulder, Katsuki's heart rate accelerates and, after a few seconds, displays a sincere smile, those who come out of the heart and who are the rarest, those who are only reserved for one and only person: izuku
How evergreen, our group of friends
Don't think we'll say that word again
And soon, they'll have the nerve to deck the halls
That we once walked through
Suddenly memories came back
Warm and caring memory
He saw each other again in the kindergarten, talking about all might, about quirk, their future, and the fact that they would be the greatest heroes the world has ever known, the little voice of 4-year-old izuku then resonates, and it provokes something in him
" Wait, Kacchan, you mustn't do this alone"
" Why? I can manage very well on my own "
"No, I mean…. I want to be by your side and support you"
"And do you think you'll be ready to follow me despite my character?"
Izuku laughed. "Obviously, after all, kacchan is the best"
One for the money, two for the show
"Kacchan," Izuku's voice snaps katsuki out of his thoughts when he calls him out
I never was ready, so I watch you go
"I wanted to thank you for everything" his words were sincere, and his face displayed a soft expression, the benevolence in his words, their meaning, and the tone employed by him made their moment even more intimate
Sometimes you just don't know the answer
'Til someone's on their knees and asks you
"She would've made such a lovely bride
What a shame she's fucked in her head, "they said
Katsuki then relies on his behavior and his actions that he regrets, he can no longer change the past, but if he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate, during middle school, he was the worst version of himself all because of fear he had stocked with the nerd, and he knew he had more potential than him, his thinking ability was one of his strong points, and katsuki was afraid of that, so he let his demons take over
When years later he realized that despite this, izuku was still by his side and had never hidden it, he felt bad, so he tried to do his best to find izuku when he had disappeared, knowing that the last memory he had of him was blades piercing him, a letter was not enough, and he had so much to say to her
So when he found him, he will never forget the look izuku threw at him, the light that settled in his eyes, and the rain that had started to fall, Katsuki then took his courage in both hands. To apologize publicly, his apologies were sincere, and he realized his mistakes when he caught izuku in his arms and pronounced, "We get it," his chest felt warm, and since that day, their relationship has improved, and he couldn't be proud of it
All this road traveled, all these hardships, and five years later, they were still there alongside each other
But you'll find the real thing instead
She'll patch up your tapestry that I shred
As the song began to come to an end, the blond's heart grew heavier
He will never forget the day he wanted to confess but, out of fear of rejection and ego, had then fled, he wonders what could have happened that day if he had managed to find the right words to express his feelings, to be able to explain how much the nerd means to him, that he wants to be more than friends and to be able to feel his lips on his and tell him how much he loves him
And hold your hand while dancing
Never leave you standing
Crestfallen on the landing
With champagne problems
The blonde then looks up to meet Izuku again, and it is as if time has stood still between them, that they are the only ones in this room and that the world is theirs.
"You don't have to thank me, nerd; without you, I would never have come this far, and after all, we always worked like that, didn't we, izuku" A smirk then appears on his face the greenette laughs
"You're right, kacchan" he let go, and their bodies moved closer, neither of them wanted to break contact, stay in each other's arms until sunrise, or they could meet one very last time, just the two of them
As the song drew to a close, izuku still stuck with katsuki, neither dared to move, and izuku whispered, "I'm glad to have you in my life"
The blonde displays a soft expression as the two return to reality, breaking their intimate moment. As Izuku starts to walk away, katsuki catches him by the arm to ruffle his hair and observe his surprised expression. "Me too, deku"
Izuku put on one last smile as Ochaco joined them with a big smile and asked, "Can I get my husband Katsuki back now" she said with a laugh
"You don’t need to ask. He’s all your now round face," katsuki breathed back as Izuku gave her a warm smile and grabbed his wife's arm while kissing her
It's true
It was izuku and Ochako's wedding
Katsuki then looks at the happy couple then leaves a note intended for izuku where it is just written, "Congrats on your wedding, nerd, I can't believe you found someone before me, Try to make her happy as you make me happy, maybe the first time that I say it but you deserve the fucking best, and I wish you to be happy ”
He left the room with a last smile, which displayed a maintained expression. Painful "i wish it were me, try to make her happy" and disappeared into the shadows
Katsuki wanted izuku happiness
Katsuki had accepted his feelings too late and missed his only chance
Now love is known to be a symbol of happiness
Yet katsuki only saw pain
If the nerd was happier without him, that was the main thing
Katsuki knows it will be a while before he turns the page
But that doesn't mean he'll stop to strangle alongside the nerd
On the contrary, whatever happens, they will always remain Izuku and Katsuki,
Deku and Dynamight
The wonder duo
And for nothing in the world katsuki not want to change that
