“Oi, Izuku!” Katsuki’s voice rang through the flat. “We’ll be late.”
“Kacchan, I can’t do my tie.” Izuku walked out of their bedroom, frowning. His tie lay untied around his neck.
“Hopeless.” Katsuki clicked his tongue, sighing as he approached and tied it for the green-haired boy before cupping his cheeks. “You look good.”
“Yeah? You look good too, Kacchan.” Izuku beamed, leaning in to press a kiss to Katsuki’s cheek before he wiggled out of his grip. “Grabbing my jacket!”
“Hurry!” Katsuki called behind him, shaking his head and checking his watch. He didn’t have a jacket with his outfit, preferring to go with a black vest atop a dark red shirt. Izuku, on the other hand, had both a vest and a jacket atop it, both in a dark green colour very close to black. He looked up just in time to see Izuku rush out of their room and grab onto Katsuki’s arm, dragging him to the door.
“Come on!”
“Quit yanking me!”

“That was exhausting.” Izuku said as they started departing the red carpet to enter the building. “They take too many pictures.”
“Duh. We’re there, of course they’ll take pictures.” Katsuki scoffed, lacing his fingers through Izuku’s, and squeezing. “We’re the number one heroes.”
“I suppose we are.” Izuku sighed, but there was a smile creeping onto his lips.

“Deku!” Hawks’ voice floated over and then the man himself was draped over Izuku’ arm around him. He could feel Katsuki glaring daggers at the older man and restrained the sigh that was threatening to escape.
“Hawks!” Izuku smiled. “You should maybe move your arm before you lose it to Kacchan.”
“Oh?” Hawks spared a glance to Katsuki and was faced with a pair of red eyes, narrowed at him. His posture was still relaxed though, fingers tapping on the arm of his chair. “Hm.” Hawks let go and dropped into the chair on the other side of Izuku.
“Smart decision.” Katsuki grunted. “Where’s your better half?”
“Rumi’s asking about your friend, Uraraka-san’s, suit. She’s very interested in a similar one.”
“It’s from Momo’s brand.” Izuku supplied. “Custom tailored.”

“It’s nice.” Hawks nodded. “You youngsters are taking over the charts.”
“You’re not even thirty.” Katsuki deadpanned. “Get over yourself.”
“Kacchan.” Izuku scolded but the effect was ruined by the growing grin on his face.
“He agrees.” Katsuki said to Hawks, gaining a chuckle from Izuku, much to his satisfaction.
“Izuku.” Shoto appeared behind Izuku and the green-haired boy turned his head upside down, meeting his eyes.
“Yes?”
“You wanted to take a picture with my sign.” Shoto waved the sign and Katsuki snorted.
“I did!” Izuku sat up and handed his phone to Katsuki. “Would you, Kacchan?”
“Yeah, I got you nerd.”

“Can I just say, Shoto-kun, you’re making a great statement right now.” Hawks grinned.
“You can drop the -kun, you’re dating my brother.” Shoto said and Izuku burst out laughing.
“Alright, that’s fair.” Hawks grumbled, rolling his eyes light-heartedly at how hard Izuku was laughing.
“Hey, good one.” Katsuki grinned and Shoto nodded his head.
“Thank you. I’ve been waiting to make these jokes. And now that both of them have pulled their heads out of their asses, I can.”
“Shoto, please –” Izuku squeaked, hitting Shoto’s arm. “Mercy.”
“He’ll die if you don’t stop.” Katsuki warned.
“We wouldn’t that, would we?” Shoto sighed.
“One half of the Wonder Duo and the Symbol of Hope dead? It’ll be chaos.” Hawks nodded solemnly. "We'll be working overtime.”
“That’s your concern?” Izuku gave Hawks a disappointed look. “Working overtime?”
“Well, I am getting up there in age.” All three of the younger men groaned and Hawks grinned. “I love making these old jokes, no one told me how fun they were.”
“Who the fuck would tell you?” Katsuki rolled his eyes.

“Izu-kun!” Ochako wrapped her arms around Izuku from behind. “Oh, you guys are here too.”
“Really funny, Uraraka.” Katsuki huffed. He’d upgraded to using her proper name in their second year of school. It was a show of respect.
“Oh, you made it before me!” Mirio appeared, a bright beam on his face.
“Did you coordinate this?” Izuku asked, eyebrows furrowed in confusion.
“Your friend tweeted a picture of you all sitting here and said you were missing Uraraka-san and I and then it’d be all the top 5.” Mirio explained.
“It was Mina.” Ochako added.
“Of fucking course it was Mina. She’s a spy.” Katsuki muttered darkly and Hawks laughed.
“Well, she might as well come out and take our picture while we’re all here.” He raised his voice and a sheepish Mina stepped out from behind one of the pillars nearby, phone in hand.
“Hi guys!” She giggled.
“Hi, Mina.” Izuku smiled back. “Come to put your photography skills to the test?”
“Oh, Izuku, with a face as pretty as yours, I hardly even need to try!”
“Quit flirting with my boyfriend and take the damn photo.” Katsuki glared.
“Yes sir, Katsuki, sir!” She saluted.

“How long can you keep going?” Mirko asked, glancing down at Izuku who was still doing push-ups.
“Ages.” Katsuki answered for him.
“I’ve seen him do this with Kats on his back.” Eijiro added.
“No offense Mirko, but Kacchan is heavier than you.” Izuku laughed. “I can keep going for a while. Even longer if I was using both hands.”
“As expected.” She nodded. “Let me off, we don’t want to get you sweaty in your nice suit.”
“True.” He nodded, stopping and allowing her to get off before he lifted himself. Katsuki held out his hand and pulled him up, fixing his tie and straightening the collar of his jacket. “Thank you, Kacchan.” Izuku beamed.
“Yeah, yeah.” Katsuki murmured, turning his head to accept the kiss Izuku planted on his cheek.
“Speech time, boys.” Mirko patted Izuku on the back. “That was nice though, we should go on a run together some time.”
“I would love that!” Izuku nodded excitedly and Katsuki swore there were stars in his eyes. “Kacchan, she’s so cool.” Izuku whispered as soon as Mirko was out of earshot.
“She is. Is she your second favourite?”
“Third.” Izuku smiled.
“Who’s second then?” Katsuki furrowed his eyebrows.
“All Might!”
“I thought he was first?”
“Stupid. You’re first.” Izuku shook his head, amused.
“Huh.” Was the only response Katsuki could manage, eyes wide and the breath knocked from his chest.

“Kacchan, you are my favourite hero. I thought you knew this.” Izuku laughed lightly, cocking his head to the side.
“How the fuck am I your favourite hero?”
“Well, you’ve always been there for me, and you helped me and challenged me to be better. And I love you. You’re my hero partner and my partner in life. You’re my favourite person, of course you’re my favourite hero too.”
“Okay, stop stop.” Katsuki turned his head down, his voice sounding awfully thick. Izuku furrowed his eyebrows and cupped the blonde’s cheek, lifting his head up and suppressing a sharp inhale when he saw a glimmer of tears in those red eyes, the same eyes that now glared at him in an attempt to hide the tears.
“Oh, Kacchan.” Izuku smiled, so devastatingly soft, and he kissed Katsuki.

“Look at me.” Katsuki demanded, cupping Izuku’s cheek with his hand and turning it left and right, swiping his thumb over the blood dripping sluggishly from his nose.
“I’m fine.” Izuku said softly, taking Katsuki’s wrist in his own hand. “I feel great.”
“You look kinda good like this.” Katsuki admitted, his voice low and Izuku’s eyes widened.
“You’re sick.” The green-haired boy shook his head, a smile playing at his lips.
“Lovesick.” Katsuki grinned, leaning in to press a kiss to Izuku’s lips. He pulled away, some of the blood on his lips now and brushed it off with the back of his hand. “I think we deserve to go home a little earlier, don’t you?”
“Oh?”
“You deserve a reward for taking down that quirkist asshole.” Katsuki nodded, lacing their fingers together and brushing his thumb over Izuku’s knuckles.
“You got something in mind?”
“Do I.”
