Some things in Izuku's life are facts.
It's impossible to get Kacchan drunk. He'll never tell his partner his true feelings.
And of course, because of his love for his explosive duo, Izuku's never kissed anyone.
Except all three things change in one night. #BKDK #BakuDeku

Being twenty-one doesn't mean much to Izuku, because he's not a big fan of alcohol. He finds it hard to get tipsy when he's with friends who are drinking.
Hanta nicknames him 'Momma Midoriya', which he doesn't really mind.
After all, heros come in different shapes and sizes.

Tonight's a big event, because the obvious finally happens; Kirishima and Mina announce their engagement. They're been soulmates since high school, so Izuku cheers when Mina shows off her beautiful ring.
He also agrees with Kirishima asking Kacchan to be his best man.

Maybe it's the role that lets Kacchan accept more drinks than normal. Or maybe Kaminari is getting better at pushing his duo partner's buttons to accept a shot challenge against Todoroki.
(He surprisingly holds his liquor well.)
The reason doesn't matter; the ending's the same.

"I'm fucking leaving, extras!" Kacchan's louder than normal as he pushes through the bar's exit. Izuku's hot on his heels when he slightly stumbles.
He waves bye to their group, who have seen him do this protocol with several of their friends before.
But never with Kacchan.

"Kacchan, be careful," he says, moving forward to tug his arm. It keeps his friend from falling off the sidewalk, though Kacchan only shakes away his touch and huffs.
"I'm a top hero! I don't need you to tell me to be careful, Freckles."
"Fr-Freckles?" That's a new nickname.

If middle school Izuku saw how close he gets to walk by Kacchan without getting blown apart, he'd faint.
If he heard the softened nicknames over insults, reviewed their time spent together, discovered that Kacchan gives him a key to his apartment (and vice versa), he might die.

They're as close as people can be without dating, and Izuku's totally happy with their dynamic.
Regardless of what their old classmates, their families, even society says, he's content with just being by his side.
Kacchan doesn't have to return Izuku's romantic feelings.

"Kacchan!" But he DOES have to be safe, so Izuku puts on his 'mother' hat and gives Kacchan a stern look. "Let me call you a taxi, you're too drunk-"
"Shut the fuck up." The slur of his words doesn't help his loud protest. "I'm... totally okay."
Of course he's being stubborn.

10
He's normally softer with his intoxicated friends, but Kacchan has a way of getting under his best intentions and blowing them up.
Many say Kacchan 'brings out his worst side', but Izuku disagrees. Kacchan takes all the versions of him and doesn't treat him any differently.

"I'm gonna call."
"No, the fuck you aren't!"
He avoids the grab at his wrist when he takes out his phone, the screen lighting his face in the late night.
"I'm doing it, whether you like it or not," he says, ignoring the growl while he requests a taxi to take Kacchan home.

But his moment of attention away from the explosive hero proves to be a mistake. He yelps when he's shoved without preparation, unable to right himself before he crashes into the side of the bar.
Kacchan follows right after, slamming his hand on the wooden panels by his head.

The lack of space between them leaves Izuku breathless. He wonders if he accidentally drank something alcoholic, his whole body flushing under the heated glare aimed his way.
Their noses barely brush while Kacchan sways closer, voice lower than before. "Stop babysitting me."

14
His knees go a little weak, but he thinks anyone with the love of their life lingering so close would feel vulnerable, too.
But Kacchan's health matters more than his heart trying to leap out of his chest, so he shakes his head. "No."
"Nerd-"
He cuts Kacchan off quickly.

"You're my most important person," he says, firm in his own stare back. "I'm going to take care of you when you can't do it yourself. Try and stop me if you can, but I won't change my mind."
Kacchan stays quiet, but his eyes speak volumes when they drift lower on Izuku's face.

Izuku remembers when he realizes how deep his feelings for Kacchan go, watching All For One skewer him. His reaction is to hide his heavy love, to keep it carefully locked away.
Then Shigaraki nearly kills him to trigger Izuku’s suppressed feelings, so he rethinks that plan.

17
His solution is simple; let himself love Kacchan openly, without actually chasing the feelings or confessing them to the man he wants as his own.
Kacchan's focused on his goals, so he'll never read between the obvious lines and see why Izuku looks at him so fondly for years.

18
So maybe his heart shouldn't pound so loudly in his ears when red eyes become half-lidded. A single thought stitches itself to the front of his brain when Kacchan leans down.
'So close...'
He should pull away, not let his eyes close when a strong hand grabs his sweatshirt.

19
Accepting he won't pursue Kacchan doesn't mean he avoids thinking about what it'd be like if their feelings were mutual. Of course, fantasies of kissing fill his lonely nights.
But where he thinks force and aggression will be, there's... softness. Care. Desire, sure, but also...

20
The warm hand that cups the back of his head is gentle, even when his mouth's fully explored by Kacchan's eager lips and tongue.
Izuku grabs the bulky jacket to keep himself from falling into Kacchan's chest, melting from the kiss.
It feels too good. He'll never recover.

21
He almost forgets he needs to breathe (or maybe he simply doesn't care) until Kacchan breaks them apart.
Like a needy idiot, Izuku follows, pushing on his tiptoes to kiss Kacchan again. He hums when the pressure is returned for a few lingering seconds.
But then reality hits.

22
Breaking away, Izuku quickly falls back against the bar's wall, hands covering his mouth with wide eyes.
At least Kacchan looks just as surprised, an awkward energy falling between them without anything to end it.
Luckily, a beep of the taxi arriving clears the air for them.

23
He doesn't know how it happens, but in a blink of an eye, he's inside the backseat. Kacchan's there, too, but the plan wasn't for him to join.
Except there had been a tug on his wrist, eyes avoiding his when Kacchan ordered him to get in. And of course he complies. It's Kacchan.

24
Izuku looks at the passing streetlights, speechless (for once). He can't get the buzz out of his lips, presses his hand to his mouth to cover his surprise.
'That was my first kiss' runs through his mind several times.
But he doesn't regret sharing this moment with Kacchan.

25
A shy peek to his left shows Kacchan glaring out the window, looking MUCH more aware than when they left the bar.
Kissing a platonic duo partner might sober someone up.
"Are you adding another stop?" The taxi driver asks.
Kacchan answers before he can confirm. "No."

26
Swallowing, Izuku moves his fingers from his mouth. "Kacchan-"
"Shut up."
His hand's grabbed in the air, a sweaty palm pressing to it before Kacchan yanks their connection to rest on his thigh. Even though he still glares out the window, Izuku sees the flush on his cheeks.

27
He looks down at their hands and makes a decision. Slowly, he parts his fingers, lets them slot between Kacchan's before returning the squeeze.
When he glances back up, Kacchan's already looking at him. He swallows and offers a soft reply. "Let's go home, Kacchan."
"Tch."

28
Despite the grumble, Kacchan doesn't pull away. Instead, he tugs Izuku over to lean against his side before looking back out the window.
Izuku smiles and tilts his head onto Kacchan's shoulder, closing his eyes.
Maybe Kacchan has some facts he has to share with Izuku, too.
