Work Text:
It is 3 AM and Izuku still can't seem to fall asleep.
Ever since the war ended he and his classmates have had a hard time sleeping. The war had taken a great toll on them all. Many of them go to therapy for their ptsd and nightmares.
Izuku sleeps in katsukis room almost every night. He knows that sleeping there helps Katsuki to relax too even if he would never say it out loud.
When he goes to bed he can’t stop the negative thoughts from coming. Thoughts telling him that he will never be good enough, that he will not be brave enough to always keep his head high and always be positive.
It usually helps to sleep in Kacchans room but tonight is different. The room starts to feel way smaller than it actually is. It feels like there is almost no air left and like he will suffocate if he stays any longer.
So he carefully unwraps himself from the sleeping angry boy next to him. Then Izuku opens the door carefully and snucks out of the room.
Soon enough he finds himself on the dorm roof. It immediately feels easier to breathe. The air is slightly cold but comfortable.
He sits down cross legged near the edge and looks up at the open night sky. When he was a vigilante he would gaze up at the stars and it would always make him feel safer. To lose himself in a sea of thousand lights. A thousand suns many miles away. It reminds him of how small he actually is compared to the universe.
He takes a few deep breaths. Letting the air fill his lungs and clear his mind.
“Hey ‘Zuku” says a rough voice behind him.
Katsuki sits down next to him.
“Hey Kacchan, Did I wake you up?”
“No. Having trouble sleeping?”
“Yeah. The dorms felt to cramped”
“I see.” Katsuki says while wrapping an arm around Izuku and Izuku leans his head on Katsukis shoulder. After all the years they’ve known each other, Katsuki doesn’t need to really ask how Izuku feels. He already knows. They can read each other like an open book. They will always have each other no matter what. Therefore they just sit there in silence until black and blue becomes orange and yellow that slowly paints the sky.
