Work Text:
Izuku’s sitting in the back of the classroom as always. His head is down as he already knows his teacher won’t care. He has his phone in his lap, the case a dark green and adorned with All Might stickers, the screen showing the texts with his… boyfriend!!!
They met around a year ago on Twitter when Izuku was gushing about the latest All Might fight, he was just so cool! When someone named Explodomight commented on his post, they hit it off really well afterward.
But once they finally took things to their DMs, things were a little different.
Explodomight:
So.. why haven’t you DMed me yet?
Izuku gasps in shock, Explodomight texted him?? Oh my god. What do I say? Oh my god.
XxallbxnniesxX:
im sorry! o(╥﹏╥)o .. i was a little intimidated. can you blame me??
Explodomight:
?!?! intimidated?! Do you think im fucking scary??
XxallbxnniesxX:
no! Im just not used to texting people, pinky promise!
Izuku lets out a sigh and shakes his head. That's a great save there. Real great save. He thinks to himself
Explodomight:
Yeah. Sure.
So, should I call you All Bunnies or..?
XxallbxnniesxX:
oh, yeah
you can call me Izu!
Explodomight:
Nerdy ass name.
Izuku sends a deadpan look at his screen.
Explodomight:
Call me Cat.
He giggles into his palm. Is this guy serious?
XxallbxnniesxX:
ummm! okay, cat. (𖦹﹏𖦹;)
Well, after that conversation they actually got along really well!
It’d only been a few months when Izuku finally got the courage to ask Cat the big question. Every time they talk Izuku gets a fluttery sensation in his gut. His face flushes so red and he gets so nervous. He can't stop thinking about Cat.. and he doesn't even know the guy in person!
He had gotten home from school after a bad day with Kacchan and his usual tormenting when he decided to ask.
Explodomight:
Hey, I just got home. Text me when you get this.
XxallbxnniesxX:
hi cat!!! i’m so glad school is over, i dont know how much longer i could take of it
(╥﹏╥)
Explodomight:
Was that asshole bothering you again?
XxallbxnniesxX:
yes..
Explodomight:
I don’t know why you won’t say something back. Its starting to piss me off, Izu.
XxallbxnniesxX:
i know cat.. but its not that bad. I swear!
anyway, i dont want to talk about that right now.
I have something important i want to ask you
Explodomight:
Okay? Then ask me??
Izuku stares at his computer screen, silently trying to hype himself up. Come on. You got this, the worst he could do is say no.. and you don’t even know each other in real life, so he can't make fun of you.
XxallbxnniesxX:
uhmm..
Explodomight:
Can you hurry up? I need to go eat dinner.
XxallbxnniesxX:
will you be my boyfriend?
i know this is so random but i have been so in love with you since like..
the first day we started to text and i just cant stop feeling this way!!
Izuku slams his computer shut and paces his room while covering his face with his hands. “Oh my god. Did I for real send that? I can’t believe myself. Okay. It’s going to be okay. At least I think it’ll be.” he mutters to himself.
He hears his closed laptop ding, and lunges toward it, opening the screen as fast as possible to see Cats' message.
Explodomight:
Oh.
Dread and embarrassment rapidly fills Izuku’s body. Oh? Is that all he’s going to say?
XxallbxnniesxX:
im sorry ! (,,>﹏<,,) its okay if you dont feel the same. theres no pressure to say yes..
Explodomight:
No!
Thats not it.
I feel the same. I just wasn’t expecting that.
Izuku promptly rolls around on his bed after that message, his face flushed as he squeezes his pillow.
XxallbxnniesxX:
really?!
Explodomight:
Yes. Really.
XxallbxnniesxX:
so does this make us… boyfriends???
Explodomight:
Of course it does. Stop asking so many dumb ass questions.
XxallbxnniesxX:
i just cant believe this.. ♡⸜(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)⸝♡
you cant blame me for being excited!
A few months have passed after that fateful day and they’ve been in a wonderful relationship ever since. Sometimes Izuku even still feels like he’s in a dream.
He’s still in class, his uniform is slightly wet due to an encounter with Kacchan and his friends this morning as he stares down at his phone, showing the illuminated messages between him and his boyfriend.
XxallbxnniesxX:
i knowwwww. I just cant believe he would push me into that fountain…
i guess a part of me still thinks that we could be friends.
Explodomight: You need to say something back, he's obviously not going to stop.
Tell him to go fuck himself on a telephone pole for all I care. Say it straight to his ugly ass face Izu.
Izuku has to swallow a gasp. What?! Say that to Kacchan. I would never be able to live with myself if I did that. But a part of me really wants to say something back. Kacchan can’t keep getting away with these things. Maybe Cat is right.
XxallbxnniesxX:
cat, thats so vulgar!!! I dont know… what if he tries to kill me! (ó﹏ò｡)
Explodomight:
Kill you? That’s the most ridiculous thing i’ve ever heard.
I thought you said he was trying to get into UA?
He wouldn’t be able to get in if he killed you, Izu.
Explodomight:
Plus, I bet he’s a weak-ass punk. He wouldn’t be able to kill you anyway.
XxallbxnniesxX:
i guess youre right.
okay.
if he messes with me again ill say something!! ᕙ( •̀ ᗜ •́ )ᕗ
He’s then interrupted by the sound of the bell ringing. Izuku shuts off his phone, readying himself to go home. He tries to wait for the class to clear out but notices how Kacchan is hanging back. Almost as if he’s.. Waiting. For Izuku
Izuku feels his heartbeat spike okay! I’m going to say something back this time. I have to make Cat proud.
He watches Kacchan walk towards him, seemingly pissed off just by the sight of Izuku’s face. “Deku! Were you writing in those dumb notebooks again during class?”
Izuku looks down to see his hero analysis at the corner of his desk and fumbles to pick it up before Katsuki can grab it. “Uh-uhm, no?” He squeaks out, holding the notebook behind his back in hopes Katsuki will forget about it.
Kacchan stares at him like he’s an idiot, “You dumb ass, I see it right there.”. He pauses for a moment, seemingly deciding on what to say, “Just give it to me, nerd”. Katsuki shoots his hand out and tries to grab the notebook as Izuku steps back.”
Choosing this as the perfect moment, Izuku shouts, “Go fuck yourself a telephone pole, Kacchan! I won’t give it to you.”
Katsuki’s eyes widened, remembering exactly who he said those words to. “No. No, there’s no fucking way,” he whispers to himself. “You can’t be serious.”
Izuku stares at him in confusion, eyebrows furrowed. Did it work? Maybe I should’ve said that to Kacchan years ago.
“...Uh, are you okay?” Izuku blinked.
Katsuki looks at Izuku in disgust? Confusion? He really can’t tell. “Just leave me the fuck alone, Deku,” he says, and then promptly walks out of the room.
Izuku watches as he leaves the now-empty classroom. That was certainly weird, he thinks.
Katsuki is starting his trek home, visibly lost in thought. There is no fucking way that nerd is Izu. But isn’t his name Izuku? This genuinely can’t be my life. I’ve been dating Deku. DEKU. This entire time.
Katsuki arrives home and unlocks his front door, making his way up to his room. He throws his bag to the side and pulls out his phone, seeing a text from Izu, or now, I guess Deku.
XxallbxnniesxX:
CAT!! CAT i did it!!
i told him exactly what you said.
its weird though..
he literally walked right out of the classroom after. maybe i scared him off???
Katsuki shuts his phone off upon seeing the confirmation. It’s really Deku. What the fuck.
