Work Text:
Izuku wasn't sure how long they had been like this. Could be 5 minutes, could be 40, he wasn't sure. But that was fine with him.
He also wasn't sure about why Katsuki was doing this, he wasn't elaborating and hadn't said anything beforehand. He just pulled him to lay down and moved them around.
Currently, they’re in Katsuki's dorm, lying on his bed. Izuku was at least, Katsuki was hovering over him. His legs were thrown over Katsuki's thighs, circling around his hips, keeping him close.
Katsuki's hands were holding Izuku's face gently, smooth fingertips caressing every inch of his face. Just gazing. Katsuki's eyes roamed over him, as if he hadn't already memorized every part of his boyfriend that he could.
Izuku wanted to say something, ask what he was doing but he didn't want to break the soft silence that had blanketed the air. The sun was setting, letting in an orange glow through the balcony doors, curtains moved so it would be let in, every light already turned off.
A few candles were lit, making the dorm feel more cozy than it was. The candles also had a nice smell of cinnamon and jasmine, combining well with Katsuki's already caramel scent.
Izuku felt swept up, wrapped in the scent and touch of his boyfriend, and he adored it. He felt safe, secure in a way he hadn't felt in a long time.
Nothing could worry Izuku when he was surrounded by his boyfriend. A calm daze keeping his anxiety at bay, making room for a nice fuzzy feeling to take its place.
Izuku moved his legs away, feet touching the bed, his knees still bent. His hands moved to cover the blond's waist instead, hands scooting under the shirt and holding the bare skin there.
His thumbs started rubbing little patterns into the boy's hips, nails scraping ever so softly. His tan scarred hands looked nice against the smooth paleness that was Katsuki’s hips and waist.
He stared back at the boy over him, he could feel himself wanting to cry at the way Katsuki looked at him. Of course, Izuku didn't know that Katsuki was in much of the same spot.
He held Izuku's jaw more firmly, his thumbs rubbing the spot just in front of his ears, his left thumb placed over a hidden freckle there he liked to kiss when he could. His favorite spot to kiss though was his hands and the scar in his hairline.
Katsuki watched as Izuku swallowed shallowly, his throat bobbing with the movement and all Katsuki wanted to do was lean down and kiss the area. He wanted to kiss and bite him everywhere, leaving marks to show how much Katsuki loved him. To show everyone how much Izuku loved him.
However, he couldn't move his eyes away the way Izuku watched him, like he hung the moon and stars, like didn’t want to be anywhere other than right there.
It was selfish, Katsuki knew that but he melted every time Izuku would look at him like that, Every time he would praise or thank him for something. Katsuki wanted to fall on his knees and beg Izuku to always look at him like that. Like he loved him. Like he couldn't be without him, just like how Katsuki looked at him.
He would never tell his boyfriend any of this, or at least not now. But, he hoped he could show it, Katsuki was always better with actions than words, though he's making an effort for Izuku. He doesn't want Izuku to doubt it ever.
He wants Izuku to know that he is everything, and still so much more, to Katsuki. That he doesn't think he could live without Izuku by his side, that he doesn’t ever want to find that out.
That being allowed to openly stare and admire every freckle or mole or scar on his pretty face is something he wants to do forever, and he would be thankful every time he could.
Izuku could tell though, he could tell because felt the same way. The same want and need that Katsuki always felt around him. He knows because he feels it too.
Izuku doesn’t think he’ll ever stop feeling it. That's fine though, because he knows Katsuki won’t ever not feel it either.
Katsuki exhaled softly before leaning down, curled around his lover, blocking him from view. He rested his forehead against Izuku’s pulling quiet giggles out of them both.
This was exactly what Katsuki wanted. Sitting and admiring his boyfriend in the quiet of his dorm where no one could disturb them. Being this close to Izuku and exchanging air like this was doing things to his chest, he had a fleeting thought of his heart possibly beating too fast.
Katsuki closed the space between them carefully, soft presses of lips against each other, teasing nips and brushes of tongues was all they needed at the moment.
A hand came up to Katsuki’s nape, crooked fingers resting in his smaller hairs. The blond removed one hand from a freckled face to intertwine with the one still on his hip, moving it to rest with his on the bed beneath them.
Soft sighs and ever softer words left their mouths as they continued to melt into each other.
Katsuki pulled away, but just barely. Their lips were still brushing with every breath they took.
“I love you.” He whispered, brushing his nose against Izuku’s.
Izuku in turn giggled, nuzzling his lover as well. The words ‘I love you’ weren’t needed, it was just stating the obvious at this point but that didn’t mean either of them liked to say, or hear, those words any less.
“I love you too, Kacchan,” He brought the hand still holding his to his lips and pressed a kiss there “So much, you don’t even know.”
Katsuki did know, he knew because Izuku always showed how much he did, just like how Katsuki is.
It was easier than Katsuki thought. Loving Izuku was so easy, he forgot what it felt like to not love him.
“Izuku..” He moved both hands to roam over Izuku’s arms and shoulders, “My Izuku,” He kissed the boy again, a little firmer than before but still holding the same amount of care as before.
“My love,” Izuku softened even further if that was possible, feeling like goo and jelly as he always did when Katsuki called him that.
It was a recent development but one he loved, especially when the boy said it in that reverent and genuine tone.
Katsuki kept his kisses chaste, letting his lips trace over the face he adored so much. He could do this forever, just lying in bed and tracing his boyfriend's skin. He wanted to love him forever. Wanted Izuku to know he wanted to be Izuku's forever.
Katsuki wanted to tell him that, felt like he needed to, so he did.
"You're my forever, y'know that?" He mumbled, almost shyly. Katsuki's not a shy person, he's often seen as confident, which he is mostly but with Izuku it's different. Izuku makes him trip over his words and makes him feel flustered without even trying. It pisses him off but, he can't say he exactly hates it.
Izuku's eyes widened a fraction before becoming misty, his arms curled around the boy's shoulders and nudged him down into him, hugging him close. Izuku sniffed and let out a wet laugh as Katsuki melted into his arms. A groan was let out as he held Izuku tighter, face pushing into the freckled boy's neck, lips pressed against Izuku's hammering pulse.
"You're my forever too, Kacchan. No one else I'd want." Katsuki felt his own eyes get watery but he refused to let Izuku see them right now, so closed his eyes and breathed in the scent of his boyfriend. Of his forever. Izuku pressed lingering kisses to his head and temple, full of love he needed to let out now.
The two boys held each other tightly, overwhelmed with their love for the other. It was fine though, for now they would just bask in the feeling of knowing they felt the same, that they both wanted the other forever.
