“Deku!” The agonizing scream ripped out of Katsuki’s throat as he watched in horror how the building collapsed above Izuku.
There was nothing he could’ve done, he’d been too far away and Katsuki hated himself for ever leaving the nerd’s side. He dashed forward and with a few well aimed blasts from his hands, he arrived at the pile of rubble that imprisoned Izuku. Yes, imprisoned, he wasn’t going to think he was crushed under there. No. The shitty nerd was too resilient for that, like a little cockroach. He wouldn’t die so easily. He wouldn’t. He couldn’t.
With a flood of curses leaving his mouth, Katsuki started to blast the pieces of the broken building away, still being mindful of the direction of his attacks not to hurt Izuku. Something was burning in his eyes but Katsuki didn’t realize it was tears until they started streaming down his cheeks.
“Fuck,” he quickly rubbed at his eyes to clear his vision and that’s when he heard it.
When he wasn’t bombing things left and right he heard a faint sound, a small voice and a coughing.
“Deku!”
”K-Kacchan?” came a weak voice followed by another cough.
“Fuck, Deku, I’m coming!”
It was with newfound vigor that Katsuki returned to blasting the rubble away until he finally spotted a familiar head of green.
“Kacchan!” Izuku looked up with a faint smile and face full of dust.
Izuku had somehow created a sort of shield using his black whip and sat seemingly unharmed underneath the blocks of concrete. Katsuki quickly removed the last pieces before reaching out a hand which Izuku immediately grabbed. Katsuki pulled him up and straight into a tight hug.
“Don’t ever do that again!”
Izuku just laughed but there was relief in his voice as he said, “I’m fine, Kacchan. I’m fine.”
Izuku wrapped his arms around Katsuki, leaning into the hug.
Katsuki took a deep breath, to calm his raging nerves and to inhale the familiar scent of Izuku as he buried his face in the crook of his neck.
“Don’t you ever do that again,” he whispered, realizing just how frightened he had been of losing him.
Bonus:
Katsuki found himself nodding off in the common room after a long day of training and studying. Had it been any other day he wouldn’t show such weakness in public, but with the drowsing sound of the tv, it had just been so tempting to close his eyes for a while.
He didn’t even notice how he fell asleep until he felt something touch his shoulder, and in one swift movement he had the perpetrator in headlock and pushed into the couch.
“K-Kacchan?!” Squeaked the green haired nerd, now trapped in his lap.
“Don’t you ever do that again!” Katsuki growled, tightening his hold around his neck to prove his point.
“I-I was just asking if you wanted dinner,” Izuku stammered. “But you didn’t seem to hear me…”
“Yes, I fucking want dinner!” And with that Katsuki pushed Izuku off him, earning a loud yelp as he landed on the floor.
