“What the fuuuck”
Five minutes ago Katsuki had sat down at this table in the library to get a bit of studying done for the exam on quirk laws next Tuesday which he was honestly dreading, when the Izuku Midoriya waltzed in and never looked any finer in all his years of living.
And Katsuki had always been one to keep an eye on him so he’d know. Something changed. Whether it was the the way he could tell the nerd was clearly working out more than usual and his constant of never skipping leg day, with the way Katsuki could tell he was defined even through a stupid uniform hiding all the depth of his muscle but never truly being able to conceal the boys physique.
The boy was sitting right across the room from him and he could feel his warming energy. He was sat with half and half giggling lightly in the one place everyone knows you should be quiet but Katsuki could care less in that moment, right now he was drooling over the freckled boys hypnotic grin and his unruly hair that stuck in every direction and his eyes which felt bigger than the moon. He couldn’t stop staring.
Oh my gosh.
Katsuki abruptly stood up from chair and practically ran out of the library not taking one look back. Clutching onto his uniform trousers like the pretty princess he is he stumbled down the stairs and flew out the door.
Katsuki was in a cold sweat and he hadn’t even ran for that long until he finally plucked his phone out of his pocket and came to a stop outside the UA dorm building, he clicked the call button immediately and tapped his foot in comedic frustration.
“Hey man! What’s up?”
“Oi shitty hair what took so long to pick up the damn phone?!”
“Uh I picked it up after like 5 seconds bro”
“No one asked! Where are you? I think I’ve finally lost my damn mind!”
“I’m in my dorm room! And I know you went off the deep end a while ago so what dat mean? You’re scaring me!”
“Oh,I’ll put you in the deep end soon, just you wait”. Katsuki then ended the call leaving a very disturbed Kirishima on the other line.
In a matter of seconds Katsuki broke down the door in order to get inside Kirishima’s room and slammed the door shut.
“I am innocent!” Kirishima wailed from the floor where he was trying to do some damn bicep curls before Katsuki came rushing through the door.
“Put the weights down! We got a bigger problem than your desire to flex sum!”
“Bakubro take a chill pill, how else am I gonna get these gains?” Kirishima laughed innocently only to get a death stare so he slowly put down the weight, got off his knee and sat cross legged like the good boy he is.
“Alright how big is the problem that you had to break down my door and disrupt a perfect body workout that was so manly man?!” Kirishima groaned in frustration.
“I- I WAS STARING AT DEKU!”
“Huh???? You did not break my door handle for that, ELABORATE!”.
“Shit Kirishima what was I doing? I was practically all over him! I should’ve just thrown myself at him and yelled ‘fuck me!’ with the way my eyes were eye fucking him without the proper consent a few minutes ago! I am dirty and I am a criminal! I’m supposed to be a hero for fucks sake!”.
“Nah man. You just down bad for Midobro!”
“The fuck, you think I’m gay? Wait am I gay?”
“I don’t give a shit what you are personally , you’re more likely Deku sexual if anything”.
“Oh my gosh, WHAT ARE YOU EVEN SAYING!?” Katsuki wiped his face vigorously at the nonsense his friend was spewing.
“THE TRUTH HURTS MAN! I JUST AINT SEE YOU EVER WANTING ANYONE ELSE, IT MIGHT BE HIM OR NOTHING!”.
“Okay maybe I was wrong to call you of all people, you clearly got some deep rooted issues because this is CRAZY” Katsuki was wiping his hands down his face in repetitive motions now.
“Okay Bakugou tell me who on earth would stare at his friend in such a way they’d describe it as ‘eye fucking’ and run out of the library leaving all their books behind a few days before their exam just because they couldn’t stop staring at their friend if they were not even an ounce attracted to them? Sounds a bit gay to me”.
“Awh shit I’m down bad”. Katsuki slumped against Kirishima’s dresser.
“Yep seriously down in the shit bad”. Kirishima stood up to give him a pat on the back.
“You don’t think I was looking in like a no homo bro way?”
“Nah I’d know, I do the no homo stare to all the guys in our class all the time”.
Katsuki gagged at thought. “Even me?!”
“Fuck no! It wouldn’t be no homo with you since I know what you are…”
“And that is?” Katsuki raised a brow and his signature scowl came back on his face.
“A kissboy for all I know. But that’s so cool and manly man!” Kirishima dramatically clenched a fist on his forehead.
“Ugh whatever, what should I do now? I can’t even look at Deku without feeling like ima bust a nut”.
“Yikes give me a disclaimer man! But you definitely gotta tell him!”.
“I do don’t I?”.
“Yep and I know the best way!”

Meanwhile Kirishima and Katsuki plotted there so called mission whatever there was still a frazzled Izuku left in the library, and of course Todoroki accompanying him.
“Uh did you also see Kacchan just run out of here? Why is all his stuff still here?” Izuku asked the blank faced Todoroki.
“Yeah, he was literally staring at you for the whole five minutes we sat down here, guess he didn’t notice that I saw him”. Todoroki huffed a laugh.
“Whaaaaaat? Kacchan was no way in hell staring at me! You gotta get your eyes checked!” Izuku gave Todoroki a look of disbelief.
“No trust! He was so dazed you’d think he wasn’t staring and he was maybe just day dreaming but holy I saw the way he was looking you up and down. Bro you guys needa get a room this is a library ya know? Or ima get Iida to sort you two out s m h” Todoroki shook his head like he was trying to erase the image of Katsuki drooling over Izuku who was as oblivious as ever.
“S m h? why are you reciting the alphabet? how about I get the class rep to come here and improve your English skills because what?” Izuku shoved one of his notebooks on top of Todorokis stuff which said in bold: English Revision Material.
“Nah it’s English slang, get with the program Midoriya” Todoroki sassily pointed at Izuku.
“We’re literally meant to be studying quirk laws brochacho” Izuku brought both his hands to his face and stared up at the ceiling like the whiteness of it could ease the pain of his friend’s subjective stupidity.
“So why do you have your English notes for lmao” Todoroki said inspecting the notebook Izuku just placed onto his work book.
“Guess I’m just prepared like that” Izuku gave him the peace sign whilst ignoring Todorokis new use of “English slang”.
“Anyways I think I’m gonna text Kacchan since he left his stuff here”
“Yeah bro got a little too exited seeing you that he left it all there”
Izuku could feel the blush rise to his face until it almost felt tangible. “Stop saying stuff like that oh my gosh”.
“Truth hurts” Todoroki calmly spoke.
Izuku rolled his eyes until they reached his brain and back before typing off a quick “where you at u left ur stuff here at the library and some bimbo named Todoroki is gonna steal it soon” text and clicking send.
Kacchan replied meticulously fast and Izuku’s notifications went buzzing off multiple times.
“Yea”
“Sorry abt that”
“Don’t let that half nd half take my stuff shitty nerd”
“Bring it to this location [insert location]”
Todoroki stole a peak at his phone and smirked. “Already going on your first date?”
Izuku playfully slapped his head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about, studying so much might be frying our brain cells, let’s go like right now”.
“You saying that because you wanna go see him quickly don’t ya?” Todoroki grinned.
“Uhh, nuh uh, get up” Izuku’s face started getting flushed.
“Nuh uh more like you want some nuh in ya buh” Todoroki purposely muttered loud enough for Izuku to hear.
In return Izuku’s face was red as a tomato and then he killed Todoroki (no he didn’t).
“Okay have fun” Todoroki waved as they parted ways.
The location Kacchan sent was too a little cafe shop in the city but close enough to the school so it was walking distance and Izuku found himself there in a matter of minutes.
He took his phone out to call Kacchan when all of a sudden the boy was suddenly right in-front of him.
“Hi Izuku” Katsuki lightly smiled.
“Hey Kacchan, here’s your stuff!-“ Izuku suddenly got his backpack off his shoulders to dig through it to get out Katsuki’s supplies before he was stopped.
“Wait I need to give you something, come inside?”
“Oh okay? Let’s go” Izuku replied as nonchalantly as he could but he was feeling tingles everywhere. They’re going a cafe when there’s literally no reason to? Fuuuck was Todoroki right?
They went inside and evidently it was empty enough but then he saw it. There he saw that on a small table at the back of the cafe lay a big casket of flowers and a big sheet of white cardboard paper on the side saying “Can I be the Kacchan Bakugou to your Deku Midoriya? <3” there was a lot of chocolate stuck to it as well, most of Izuku’s favourites.
Izuku gasped. “Kacchan!”
Katsuki smiled at his reaction. “So what’d ya say nerd, be mine?”
Ouuu shiii
“Ha I guess I will”.
“What do you mean ya guess?” Katsuki grabbed Izuku’s waist so they were standing closer together.
“Well of course I will!”.
Katsuki smiled and they shared a little hug before he offered a chair to Izuku, who sat down wordlessly.
“So were you staring at me in the library or not?”. Izuku had to interrogate before he would admit he had been so oblivious.
“Maybe…” Katsuki avoided eye contact as he said it though.
Izuku groaned at the realisation that he was really oblivious but atleast he was here with Kacchan now.
“Why’re you groaning, hello have some public decency” Katsuki laughed sarcastically even though they both knew no one was even at the cafe but them.
“Ha funny no one is even here, wait why is it so empty here?”
“You’re right it’s empty so you can groan all you want, don’t worry about why it’s empty though” Katsuki smiled deviously.
“You’re into that?, who would’ve thought?”.
“Only for you” Katsuki cupped Izuku’s cheek which was blooming red at the touch but then a waitress came up to their table as they settled.
“Hi what can I get for you and your boyfriend?”
BOYFRIEND?
“We’ll get the Mafo Tofu and one Katsudon too” Katsuki replied calmly but Izuku was internally screaming at the term boyfriend being used.
“Ah that’ll be here in no time, I’ll get you guys some beverages”. The waitress smiled as she turned to leave.
Once she was far Izuku whipped his head
to look at Katsuki who never lost his smirk when it came to looking at Izuku now.
“We’re boyfriends?” Izuku whispered.
At this Katsuki smirk wavered for a second. “Do you not want to be?”.
“H-huh? W-well yeah”. Izuku lowered his head a little due to the sudden emotion he felt. He really did like Katsuki.
“Well then it’s settled we’re boyfriends, I like you Izuku”. Katsuki grinned as he brought his hand up to lift Izuku’s cheek up so he could no longer hide his face.
At the force of eye contact, Izuku couldn’t conceal his feeling anymore.
“I like you too Kacchan” Izuku smiled softly.
