Katsuki took a deep breath, his palms sweaty. "Listen, Deku, there's something I need to say," he mumbled, avoiding eye contact.
Katsuki asked izuku to meet him at the park where they always played. It had been rebuilt from the former war they had fought in. Now izuku is in the flesh, an katsuki is hella nervous.
Izuku glanced at him, worried. "What's up, kacchan? Something wrong?"
Katsuki shook his head, a rare hint of vulnerability in his eyes. "No, damn it.. How do i say this."
Katsuki hands were sweaty , way too sweaty. The boy continued to rub and smear his hands on his shirt and pants.
"Kacchan? , are you alright?" Izuku asks taking a step closer to the boy.
"Yea-yeah... do you remember a few weeks ago when i told you.. i liked someone..?"
how could i not forget..
izuku thought.
"Yes , what about them?"
"Well. I was thinking of confessing. Today.. actually!"
Katsuki looks up at izuku. Midoriya's face is stiff and pale.
Izuku chuckled nervously. "Rea-really!, well i hope it goes well!"
"We-well i know you think that but.. i don't think they like me honestly. Ive hurt them so much, no matter how much i apologize the guilt is still here..do you think they'd like me?"
"Anybody would be grateful to have someone like you in their life kacchan. If they aren't grateful for the way you show you care, then they aren't for you.
Katsuki breaks eye contact again. Izuku's words fill his head and cloud his mind. His face begins to heat up and he's sweating harder than ever now.
"midoriya.. i have to tell you something.. again."
"yes kacchan?.. anything."
Katsuki finds his way to his dress pants pockets and fiddles with a paper inside. Once he finds it , he begins to dust himself off and reads.
"Izuku, I— i um.. i really really like your company.. you make me feel safe and secure. I enjoy your stupid smile , your encouraging words , your rambling, your sweet voice, and that wonderful vibe every time you step into a room. I appreciate what you have done for me regardless of what i have done in the past. No matter what apology i give i want you to know i still feel guilty and i want to still change. This is-is how im going too. Izuku i have feelings for you, they are not feelings for you as a freiend but as in i want to start a relationship with you..."
Katauki leans into the paper trying to hide his embarrassment from what he's saying.
" i understand that the feeling may not be reciprocated , but that is fine. All i want is you in any shape or form. I want you izuku midoriya."
Katsuki eyes dart to the floor once hes finished. He has no intention of looking at izuku not knowing how he'll take it. His eyes are starting at both of their feet , his hands are fidgeting with the paper trying to put it away.
Midoriya is frozen in place. His face isn't as pale as it was anymore but it seem to have a warmer undertone as if he was heating up. The greennette had been registering the compliments coming out of katsuki’s mouth. They hadent seem forced, they were genuine, they sounde like Katsuki. Then the last part.
Izuku's eyes widened as he realized the sincerity in Katsuki's words at the end of his confession.
Katsuki looked up to see izuku , beet red and a mess. Katsuki feels a little better now. Maybe he really does have a chance.
"so-so .. um. How do you feel."
Midoriya steps closer to katsuki and places his hands on his chin. His hands are soft, he holds the blond as he's so delicate. He lifts katsukis chin so he can see his face. Izuku pulls katsuki into a kiss , wrapping his arms around his nape.
Katsuki stands there at first then continues to kiss him back. He wraps his arms around midoriya's waist . He's been waiting for his , maybe practicing too with his pillow.
Midoriya parts his lips slighting giving confirmation to katsuki he can kiss him more. The kisses aren't as soft as they were but gentle and sloppy. Izuku pulls back, still in the clutches of katsuki's arms.
"Does that answer your question?"
"fuck. Hell yeah it does"
They both embraced each other. A new beginning. Another new chapter of their relationship. The foundation of their future together.
