   Summary

   “Why the fuck have neither of you told me anything?” Katsuki barked. Guilt settled into his chest like a lead blanket. Even his mother did what he couldn’t do. Izuku picked up on it so fast, Katsuki secretly wondered if the fucker had a mind-reading quirk.

   “You were busy, Kacchan.” Izuku tried softly, reaching up to put a hand on Katsuki’s shoulder. “The grind never stops. You had dreams to chase. You can’t keep turning back for someone who’s stopped in the middle of the race. Not when you still have the ability to run and grab first place at the finish line.”

   Katsuki stopped abruptly, turning to face Izuku with what could only be described as horror. Izuku’s hand never left his shoulder.

   “You’ve never stopped in the middle of the race, ‘Zuku.”

   Alternatively, someone needs to bonk Izuku on the head with a mallet. Who else better to do the job than Katsuki?
