thinking about an immediately post-war izuku who tries. he listens to kacchan and he tries to not be so reckless, to handle his body with some of the care he extends for others, to lean on his peers. and he’s so happy that kacchan likes him that he’s terrified about it.
thinking about an immediately post-war izuku who tries. he listens to kacchan and he tries to not be so reckless, to handle his body with some of the care he extends for others, to lean on his peers. and he’s so happy that kacchan likes him that he’s terrified about it.

their relationship is so new it feels like a soft thing cupped in izuku’s palms, izuku’s cracked and achy palms that twitch and squeeze too hard sometimes. he’s so elated he’s frozen, will swell with joy then still, scared that one bad mistake will crush the thing in his hands,
3
and he’ll have to watch it drip between his fingers in horror. so when izuku, newly post-war post-UA izuku, pro hero deku, fucks up in the field, he panics a little. he finds kacchan and says sorry, i’m sorry kacchan, I tried, I tried to be careful but this, but that.
4
excuses feel like ash in his mouth but he runs his tongue over them and they stay true. he won’t be sorry for doing his job, he’ll never be sorry for decisions that save people, but he’ll be sorry he didn’t do better. he wants to do better, kacchan, he’s trying.
5
katsuki isn’t a tyrant. he doesn’t even understand fully why izuku gets so worked up when he was so stubborn about his ways before. but katsuki holds him close and tells him he’s good, he did so good. I know, I know, you did your best, it’s okay.
6
most of the time izuku does fine. he calls in backup or leaves some things for kacchan. and he loves the pride of after, when he’s all in one piece and so is his partner, and kacchan slings an arm around him like it’s just another day of everything being right with the world.
7
katsuki doesn’t even get mad at him in a way that sticks, not when he’s unnecessarily putting himself in harms way or ever, really.
8
he gets scared and redirects it into a stern voice and face while he holds izuku so gently in his hands, like he’s afraid if he grips him too tightly izuku will shatter. so izuku really has no reason to be anxious like this, but he is, and he tries, he tries, he tries.
9
“you did so good today,” katsuki murmurs once, low into izuku’s ear while he presses him into the sheets, and izuku comes all over himself. stiff shoulders and wide eyes trained on katsuki, who smirks a little, brows raised in endearment, pets over one of the knees by his ears

and kisses his cheek. “you better have known that already, fucker,” he kisses into izuku’s throat, and he did, but—
“I like it when kacchan tells me,” izuku whispers, buoyant. he smooths a hand down katsuki’s back,
“I like it when kacchan tells me,” izuku whispers, buoyant. he smooths a hand down katsuki’s back,

cards another through slightly damp hair, and it’s all so solid under his fingers. he holds kacchan tighter, and tighter, and he doesn’t say a word of protest, leans in closer, even, hums and kisses him and eventually shudders into a sigh, then presses closer still, wraps around
12
him like a big, sweaty, heavy blanket of solid muscle and coiled power. lays all his weight down uncaringly bc he knows izuku can take it, trusts him to take it. pulls him closer with a “c’mere, baby,” and holds him tight. and bit by bit, week by week, izuku begins to understand.
