Work Text:
“Come on, Kacchan. Everyone’s waiting to hear if we’re going to go to the karaoke meetup tomorrow.”
“Why are we going to karaoke? Of all the things these extras could have picked they chose karaoke?”
“Oh hush, you know you secretly enjoy it. Last time we got together like this as a class you had so much fun!”
Katuski won’t admit it to Izuku, but he truly does enjoy meeting up with all of their old classmates even if some of them still give him odd looks about the information that was leaked to the press. Even years later, they don’t know who leaked the information since the only people who knew were those in the classroom that day. Katsuki shivers remembering how Aizawa showed up at their apartment with a holy fury that only Izuku stepping in prevented from exploding on Katsuki.
“You okay, Kacchan?” Izuku softly asks, causing him to smirk ruffling the other boy’s hair.
“Yeah, just remembered when Aizawa busted into our apartment when the surprise news broke. Man, you can’t convince me that he’s not such a dad.”
“Don’t let him hear you say that,” Izuku teases, causing Katsuki to roll his eyes.
Their conversation halts when they make it to the venue that Momo had picked out ahead of time causing Katsuki to hum in approval. This is one of the best karaoke places in the area and he watches Izuku immediately making a bee line for the table where their friends are. He brushes off the glares that he’s given from some of their former classmates as Hitoshi claps him on the back. He rolls his eyes at the purple-haired insomniac that is Izuku’s best friend before Hitoshi gives him a shit-eating grin.
“Just so you know, I got the song queued up for you.”
“Who the fuck told you?” Katuski hisses, causing Hitoshi to shove his shoulder.
“Momo and Shoto did because they were unsure of which version of the song to use, so they consulted me. You’re gonna do good and he’s going to love it.”
“I just hate that we even have to do something because some extras keep bothering him about living alone in an apartment with me. I know I fucked up in middle school and I’ll be making it up to him until the day we both die.”
“I know that and our friends know that without a doubt. You’re right that they’re being assholes and if Izuku would only tell me who it is I’d give the names to dad.”
“He knows your dad would rip those extras a new one and he wants to keep the peace for the class's sake. He can’t hold a grudge to save his life.”
“True, I don’t think Mido really has it in him to be angry with anyone for too long. Now come say hi to my partner, Denki has mentioned that you guys haven’t seen each other in the last couple of weeks.”
—----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku walks over to his friends with a hint of a smile trying to shake off the weird air that was around Katsuki. If he didn’t know better, he’d swear that Katsuki is nervous about something happening tonight. Which doesn’t make sense because he’s never seen Katsuki nervous before in their whole lifes. Sure, he’s seen Katsuki scared, angry, and panicked but never nervous. He blows out a breath sitting across from Shoto and Sero who has his arm loosely wrapped around Shoto causing Izuku to grin.
“Mido! It’s been forever since we’ve seen you! You’ve got to swing by the place for a movie night sometime soon.” Sero happily says, causing Izuku to chuckle.
“It has been a while hasn’t it. My patrols have amped up recently and they’ve been running over my scheduled time again.”
“Do you know why?” Shoto asks, causing Izuku to shrug.
“Not really, to be honest. It doesn't make any sense but the work has to be done.”
“You should bring Kat this time around too! It’s been forever since anyone from the class has gotten the chance to hang around him. The both of you have been so crazy busy that it’s hard for anyone to even get you on your phones.”
“Everyone was sure that the two of you wouldn’t be coming tonight, so it’ll be interesting to see everyone’s reactions when they realise both of you are here tonight.”
“Kat and I wanted to at least be here for a little bit since we had long patrols today. So we can’t guarantee being here all night, but we wanted to be here for a little bit since we haven’t had the chance for the last couple of get togethers.”
The conversation is cut short when the lights dim and Hitoshi and Denki sneak over to sit next to Izuku causing him to beam. However, everyone notices how Izuku’s head automatically swivels to the front of the room as Katuski starts singing on the stage.
I found myself dreaming in silver and gold
Like a scene from a movie that every broken heart knows
We were walking on moonlight, and you pulled me close
Split second and you disappeared and then I was all alone
I woke up in tears, with you by my side
A breath of relief, and I realized
No, we're not promised tomorrow
So I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you
I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you (Lose you)
I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you
Izuku’s hand flies to his mouth and tears flood his eyes as Katsuki sings, staring right at him despite the obvious glares he’s getting. He jolts when Denki holds out a microphone motioning that he should join Katsuki in singing on the stage. Before the next part of the song comes in, the lights in the room shut off and he scrambles to make it to the stage. He makes his footsteps silent as he slips up to the stage wanting to surprise Katsuki.
In the blink of an eye, just a whisper of smoke
You could lose everything, the truth is you never know
So I'll kiss you longer, babe (Hey), any chance that I get
I'll make the most of the minutes and love with no regret
Let's take our time to say what we want (Say what we want)
Use what we got before it's all gone (All gone)
'Cause no (No), we're not promised tomorrow
He grins seeing how Katuski’s eyes widen as he comes forward singing along with him. He positively beams seeing how Katsuki softens looking at him before he puts a hand to Katsuki’s cheek as they sing. His thumb caresses Katsuki’s cheek as they continue singing a song that he could sing in his sleep. They always sing this in their apartment after they’ve had long patrols or the other has had a particularly bad patrol.
Katsuki sways along to the music, happy to just be staring into Izuku’s emerald eyes as the other boy puts a hand to his cheek. He positively melts as Izuku’s thumb caresses his cheek as they sing their song. That’s the exact reason he picked this song to sing even with all those extras glaring at him the whole time. He doesn’t care though because he can see how much Izuku loves him and he knows that Izuku can see how much he loves him as well.
So I'm gonna love you, like I'm gonna lose you (Lose you)
I'm gonna hold you (Hey), like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing (Yeah), I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you), like I'm gonna lose you (Like I'm gonna lose you)
I'm gonna love you (Love you), like I'm gonna lose you (Hey)
Katsuki smirks, pulling Izuku in by his waist causing his boyfriend to go red as a tomato as they continue singing. He can see his friends celebrating how they aren’t allowing those extras that are mad to stop them from singing about their love. His breath leaves him in an inaudible whoosh when Izuku positively beams up at him singing with his whole heart reminding him just how much he loves Izuku.
I'm gonna love you (Oh), like I'm gonna lose you (Like I'm gonna lose you)
I'm gonna hold you, like I'm saying goodbye
Wherever we're standing, I won't take you for granted
'Cause we'll never know when, when we'll run out of time
So I'm gonna love you (I'm gonna love you, baby), like I'm gonna lose you (Like I'm gonna lose you)
I'm gonna love you (Oh), like I'm gonna lose you
He leans in as the song starts fading out to pull his boyfriend closer and pressing his lips to Izuku’s. He smirks, feeling the smile that Izuku gives into the kiss and how his boyfriend wraps his arms around his neck to pull him even closer if it’s even possible. His chuckle booms out across the speakers when Izuku pulls back and he sees the angry glares aimed his way. Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Hitoshi shifting his phone but ignores it given the chance to put those extras in their place.
“You can think that we don’t deserve each other because I fucked up in middle school, but you better leave my boyfriend alone. Got it?” When he doesn’t get an answer he flips them off for good measure as he heads to his table with his arm around Izuku.
He catches how Denki starts play smacking Hitoshi who chuckles before Denki starts banging a fist on the table looking like they’re going to cry from how hard they’re laughing. He quirks up an eyebrow as he takes a seat with Izuku pulled into his side. He hears Izuku start talking with Shoto and Sero before Hitoshi gives him a shit-eating grin, turning his phone to him. His mouth drops open seeing a video file of him and Izuku singing before seeing who it was sent to causing him to make an angry noise. Izuku’s head immediately swings to look at them before seeing the video as well causing him to go bright red all again.
“You sent a video of us to your dad?”
“He heard the song when I was flipping through which one we thought would fit best and told me to send a video if you got up there and did it. He wanted to rub it in Auntie Nem’s face when they go back to work tomorrow. Pop also says that it’s a good choice for a song.”
Izuku makes a noise like steam coming out of a kettle causing Katsuki to shake his head with a sigh. It’s already out of his hands so he just pulls Izuku closer into his side as more of their classmates get up to sing.
