Summary
It's their senior year. Izuku, Katsuki and Shoto are allowed on what was supposed to be a short, easy mission—all by themselves. But when things take a turn, Izuku is kidnapped and there's nothing the others can do but wait to save him. When he finally returns, his relationship with Katsuki starts to muddle. Let's just say that's where the real story begins.
Alternatively, neither of them realizes just how much they need each other until they're being forcibly torn apart.
"Stay close," Katsuki muttered, stepping closer to Izuku so he could better protect him. Izuku grit his teeth. He wasn't enjoying feeling like a damsel, but really...what other choice did they have? In their current situation, they were severely and quite utterly fucked.
"You have to leave me," Izuku blurted as the creatures closed in. Katsuki was now accounting for both of their backs—Izuku couldn't even stand himself upright. He was a liability. Useless. Katsuki had to leave him—it was the only way.
"You'd best shut up now, Deku. I'm not leaving," Katsuki shot back furiously. "And don't you ever even think about suggesting that again." -
Bookmark Notes:
What a ride. Honestly not surprised that this is THE BKDK fic. Could not find the favourite quote even if I tried. Everything is so packed with emotions and small details I am in shock. The whole journey, especially Katsuki character progression throughout the story and his relationship with Izuku... Much emphasis on self-love and realising that even if you fucked up and are rough you can still be better and deserve love and happiness.

Izuku floundered for words, caught completely unaware by Katsuki’s sudden deep- dive on his character. “I mean… yeah,” he finally said, working up a response to that last question. “If it means making other people happy…” “No,” Katsuki cut him off. He had a habit of doing that. “Don’t. You know what? I’m telling you to fucking stop.” “What?” Izuku’s face faded into a look of confusion. “Why?” “Because,” Katsuki growled, sounding more impatient by the minute, “it’s fucking annoying.” “Really, Kacchan?” Izuku shook his head at him, approaching disbelief. “You can’t just go on a rant like that, tell me how to live my life, and then have your answer be because it’s annoying. That doesn’t check out,” he said flatly. Katsuki’s grip tightened on the steering wheel. “Because I… I can’t fucking stand it anymore. Watching you throw yourself under the bus again and again just so the people around you can feel a little better. You’re not a fucking martyr, so stop acting like one. I’ve seen how you fight; you always put others’ safety before your own, even when it means getting yourself hurt, even killed. It’s so goddamn infuriating! “You don’t need to do that, Deku. You can still win and save people by not almost killing yourself every minute. People will still think you’re a nice guy if you force them to own up to their mistakes once in a while and give ‘em a little shit for it. Do you understand that? Can you get it through your thick skull?” he demanded. “Yes, but I just don’t understand why it matters. Not to you, and not to me,” Izuku replied. “Kacchan, I love my friends. If I get hurt in the process of helping them, I don’t see a problem with it.”

“Well, since you answered the question, I guess I can give my answer, too. I chose the same thing,” he added. “You chose the aliens-taking-over-the-world option?” Katsuki repeated. Izuku confirmed. “Yeah. I made the same decision as you,” he said, but then he paused for a moment, wondering if he should say what he really wanted to say next. Eventually, he decided to just go with it. He added in a slightly quieter tone, “…but I think my reasoning was far more selfish than yours.” This time, it was Katsuki’s turn to be quiet. He paused for a few moments before asking, “What do you mean?” Izuku said, “I mean, the reason I’d rather let aliens take over is because without you, the world means nothing to me. It’s all meaningless…I’d let the world burn if it meant you were there to watch it with me.”
++
A good comparison is the feeling of body dysmorphia. Take someone who’s lost a lot of weight, for example. Even if they’ve got a killer body, they may still see themselves as overweight for months afterward. Katsuki felt the same way. Where he used to see himself as the most important person in the world, he now saw himself as insignificant and unworthy. He’d ask himself, Why do I deserve someone as kindhearted as Izuku when all I can ever do is hurt people?
++
There’s a thing called self-love, Deku. Before you can truly love anyone else, you gotta learn to love yourself. Katsuki may have become a better person over the last few months, but if he didn’t see it himself, how was he supposed to ever change completely? If he couldn’t love himself, how was he supposed to love anyone else? -
