When Katsuki woke up, it was with soft hair tickling at his nose and lips, with warm hands up the back of his singlet, with legs tangled around him tightly. There was a damp spot forming near one of his nipples, with Izuku snuggled in so close that he'd been drooling on Katsuki during the night, and Katsuki immediately went to war with his own thoughts.
So what if he was fucking cute? He promised.
"Oi, nerd," Katsuki growled, gently untangling himself. "Are you...

Izuku grumbled when he began to stir, feeling Katsuki slide out of his grip and reaching desperately after him. All thoughts of complaining about Izuku curling up to him in the night were quickly forgotten. Instead Katsuki chuckled, squatting down to brush soft hair out of Izuku's face, watching his eyelids squeeze tighter to keep out the light.
"Good morning," he said softly. "You wanna come have a bath with me?"
"Mm... Yes. In an hour."
"No can do," Katsuki said apologe...

Izuku fell asleep around halfway through their second leg of the trip. Katsuki turned off their music and tried his best to drive quietly and smoothly, letting the nerd sleep. He seemed strangely sweet when he slept, head balanced on his seatbelt, lips parted a little to take long, slow breaths, the streetlights out the window dancing across his freckled cheeks and long eyelashes.
Katsuki couldn't stop staring.
It hadn't been like that, in the hospital. Izuku had always looked s...

Katsuki watched from the sidelines as Izuku limped onto the stage, one side still supported with a crutch. He had insisted on walking alone, on not being helped, but Katsuki still hovered as close as the nerd had deemed acceptable – just in case. A hush fell over the room, and Izuku smiled awkwardly, waiting for the tech staff to give him a nod.
"Thank you all for being here today, I greatly appreciate it!"
His voice was still shaky, the damage to his throa...

Katsuki knew he was spoiling his boyfriend, but he'd long since given up caring. The routine had become simple and comfortable – morning run, cook breakfast with Inko, take the train to the hospital to eat it with Izuku. He'd learned to make an octopus and a bunny out of hotdogs, a penguin out of rice and seaweed, monkey sandwiches, eggs with chicken faces, and after some online research he'd even gone out to buy little fruit forks with tiny animals on them and brightly coloured compartment...

Katsuki arranged every bit of food with the utmost care, perfectly positioning pieces in their own little compartments of their own little boxes. Inko didn't say a word about it, leaving him to his pickiness as she finished up the cooking, and Katsuki had never felt more grateful to anyone as he did toward Inko for not calling him out on his nerves. When he finally closed the lids, satisfied with his work, he met her gaze with a forced smile.
"You look nice, Katsuki."

Katsuki grumbled as he dug his phone out of his pocket to silence the incessant ringing. When would people learn to send him a damn message instead of trying to talk to him? It was so time-consuming and irritating.
"What the-?" He hit the green button, frowning as he held it to his ear. "I just finished my shift, what do you want?"
"He woke up."
Katsuki dropped the pan he'd been pulling out of the cupboard, sending it clanging to the fl...

Evening (or whatever time it is in your timezone) all! It was a super long week at work and I ended up taking a nap on the couch when I got home yesterday so I didn't get much writing done, but it was a really good nap so I'd say that's acceptable.
This week in WIPs:
I've officially finished writing DSH, wooo! I'll probably continue posting a chapter a day like I have been, even though I kind of ran away and got ahead. Unless you guys would prefer just ...

"Missed me already, huh?"
Katsuki smiled faintly, dropping into the chair with a thud.
"Yeah, couldn't stand it," he agreed.
"Something on your mind?"
"Yeah."
Aizawa considered him carefully, waiting for him to continue, but Katsuki's lips remained closed.
"Are you going to tell me?"
"It's not something you want to hear about," he explained. "But I don't really have anyone el...

By the end of day three, every piece of paperwork in Izuku's office had been filled out, signed, and filed in the appropriate places. Katsuki had everything in triplicate, records kept of every message or transaction with anyone else, he'd even gone so far as to clean up prior work, sorting Izuku's files into some semblence of a useful order. The staff, frankly, were surprised. They'd expected big scary boom man, not massive perfectionist nerd.

Inko smiled as she watched Katsuki cook, sipping at her tea as he worked. He adamantly refused to let her lift a finger to help, and she couldn't help but feel a fondness toward him. He did his best to keep a conversation going, but even the silences were comfortable – Inko was a quiet person until she got excited, just like her son. When passion took them over they held no rivals, but until then, they were both content to just quietly enjoy the company.

Katsuki smirked when the kid pointed his way, watching All Might whirl around and light up. He raised one hand in a little wave, and when All Might started toward him, he met him halfway.
"Katsuki! It's been so long!"
"It's good to see you," he managed an awkward smile, gesturing toward the class watching them closely. "I thought we could have lunch, I guess my timing was a little off."
"That sounds fantastic! We have about fifteen minutes le...

Katsuki rose with the sun, yawning as he slipped into his running gear and padded down the stairs. It had been a while since he'd run through the old neighbourhood, but he had a feeling everything would remain unchanged, as it always had in the past. Their town had a habit of keeping things the same, no one seemed to feel the need to mix it up. He could probably find the same people in each of the houses as had lived there when he was born, with the exception of the few kids like him who had ...

All Katsuki knew, was that when they graduated high school, he was the only one who didn't cry. His friends, classmates, the other students in their year, their teachers, even Aizawa, had all teared up a little as they said their final farewells. But Katsuki had just stood there, dry-eyed, staring blankly at the piece of paper in his hands. He had officially completed his U.A. Education. The best hero school in the country, plagued by villain attacks and kidnappings, a constant war o...

A little late this week, oops! Been a busy one. 8 Simple Rules is now done and dusted - thank goodness. I had a lot of internal debate over the last few chapters because they were a lot shorter than the first few, but any time I tried to make them longer it just felt like I was writing the filler arc for a long-running anime (I totally haven't been rewatching Naruto, don't give me that look) so I decided to just screw it. The first few being longer was just a bonus, the later ones are the nor...

Chapter 8: "Fuck the rules"
While explosions in general tended to make most people uneasy, Katsuki thought there was something particularly unsettling about them for him personally. To hear those familiar sounds coming from a source far away from himself, when they should be coming from his hands, made him feel a strange kind of nausea.
He was also the first one to recognise them, every single time. When fireworks went off, while his classmates looked...

Chapter 7: No talking about All Might in the bedroom.
Izuku was ready to collapse the moment he walked in the door. He wasn't even sure how he'd made it onto his train, let alone walked back to the dorms after. His legs were jelly – his entire body was jelly, in fact. He was ready to just fall face down on his bed and not move again for an entire week.
"Deku!" Uraraka gasped, rushing over to inspect his wounds. "What happened?!"

Chapter 6: "If someone falls in love, it's over."
"Uraraka and Asui... Bakugou and Midoriya..."
Izuku glanced over to where Katsuki was standing with his friends, smiling awkwardly when the scarlet eyes darted his way for a moment. He didn't seem impressed by the prospect of partnering up, but it was becoming a more common event in their lives, and he'd given up arguing about it.
"Fuck off, Shitty-hair," Katsuki scowled, when the list came to an...

Chapter 5: "Honesty. No Exceptions."
Izuku jumped when the door slammed, looking up to find Katsuki storming in, falling face first onto the mattress.
"Rule two," he grumbled, shifting his head into Izuku's lap.
"No questions asked," Izuku agreed, moving his book to one hand, laying the other on Katsuki's head lightly. "I won't say a word."
Katsuki sighed faintly, sinking in to Izuku's touch, and with a little smile Izuku stroked his hair,...

It was the third package that day, and it was only lunch time. Timidly she approached the desk, sliding the wrapped box slowly across the surface.
“Happy Valentine's Day, Bakugou!”
He grunted a little, barely looking up as he accepted it with a nod.
“Yeah. Thanks.”
Beaming, she skipped away, and Bakugou scowled as he watched her go. The moment she left the room, he lobbed the box over to Kaminari's seat, his face ligh...

Five hundred and eighty-one days. That was how long Katsuki had been – he shuddered – pining.
It was Izuku's birthday, their final year of high school, and classmates had been showering him with gifts and hugs. He was the most popular guy in their class – in their school, frankly – and for the first time in his life Izuku seemed to forget about his rough childhood. Thoughts of torment and bullying from Katsuki and his friends had long since been replaced by far more fearso...

Chapter 4: "No making fun of each other's kinks"
Izuku fought with himself as he stared at the text, pacing back and forth across his bedroom like it was the hardest decision he'd ever made. One text, one sentence, one wrong word could make or break his entire arrangement. He liked their meet ups, liked the passionate, experimental sex they had, liked the way they seemed to complement each other so well in the bedroom. Where else was he going to find...

Chapter 3: "Whoever falls in love first, loses."
Katsuki reached under the bed, cheeks flushed pink, and Izuku cocked his head to the side as he watched. Ever since Izuku had knocked on the dorm room door, Katsuki had seemed oddly nervous, and Izuku was starting to wonder if he should ask the stupid question, even at risk of getting Katsuki all riled up and angsty.
"You asked me to show you," Katsuki mumbled, as he pulled out a plain cardboar...

It took almost a week for Izuku to get the text. He'd just finished eating and showering, and as he set his phone down on the bathroom counter, it buzzed at him angrily.

He smirked, contemplating his words as he tapped the reply button, using his free hand to rub at his hair with a towel.

Chapter One: What happens in the bedroom, stays in the bedroom.
It began with a particularly awkward training session. They'd been working for three hours straight in the hot sun, hardly a water break to be seen, and Izuku was exhausted. When Katsuki landed a solid blow to his gut he hit the ground with a long groan, barely finding the time to open his eyes before Katsuki was on top of him, pinning him to the ground. He squirmed, but Katsuki held him in place...
