[ closed ] don’t want to be at the mercy of my emotions

[apshot]

🧙 WHO: Bakugou Katsuki + Midoriya Izuku
⚔️️ WHAT: Cupid Arrow "Courage"
🕒 WHEN: Sometime After Zidane shoots him
🗺️ WHERE: Their Place
⚠️ WARNINGS: FEELINGS, Bakugou's mouth



[ Of course being hit with one of those shitty arrows is the last thing that Katsuki could have wanted. There were a lot of bad results that could have been handed to him, but honestly? The blonde would rather have the one that would have forced him to always taste chocolate. Hell, even the horny as fuck one might have been preferable over the on that...

That...

That forces him to be open and honest with his feelings.

After Katsuki had figured out what it does, the blonde had hightailed it home. The plan is to actually just block himself in his designated room until the effects wear off. Nobody can catch him like this. Nobody. That's why he's kind of pacing in the kitchen for a moment, grabbing something to drink before just moving up the stairs. ]

[apshot]

[ The blond snorts. Rolls his eyes. If not for the fact that he's pretty comfortable where he is, Katsuki would have pulled back and squished those cheeks. ]

Sometimes it seems like that. I mean fucking hell, Deku. You still have those round, baby cheeks. Also make sounds like a squeaky toy.

[fullgauntlet]

Seriously?

[He says, squeaking like a toy-]

Ahhh...

[But he looks like he's sort of laughing. Maybe he does have a squishy face.]

I can't be handsome in the way you are, Kacchan.

[apshot]

[ Bakugou rolls his eyes. Yes seriously. But then again he's sort of laughing isn't he? His shitty nerd thinks it's kind of funny. ]

The fuck you talking about... You don't think you are?

[fullgauntlet]

N-no? Of course not, Kacchan. You've always been the good-looking one.

[He says that easily because he's not that bothered by it? Izuku knows he's sort of plain.]

[apshot]

[ Okay. Of course the shitnerd would think that. It's not surprising. Katsuki pulls back a moment anyway. Just to glare and stall for time because he's going to make an embarrassment of himself for sure. ]

Wanna fucking run that by me again?

[fullgauntlet]

[...? He blinks at Katsuki.]

Eh...? What's with that look. You're... the good-looking one...?

[apshot]

Dek - Izuku.

[ He's pulling back now, tilting his head to the side. As if he can't believe what he's hearing. ]

Are you fucking serious?

[ Katsuki then grabs the hem of Izuku's shirt, yanking it upward. ]

Have you seen this shit? Or your arms? Your goddamn calves!?

[fullgauntlet]

Ah?! Kacchan!? What are you doing?!

[He yelps and grabs at Katsuki's hands and his shirt and tries to yank it back down?!]

What does this have to do with my arms or my calves?!

[He doesn't get it and now his face is on fire?!]

[apshot]

It had everything to do with that. Look at you! You're fucking ripped.

[ But fine! Drop the shirt. It's just Katsuki is going to grab at that face again. ]

Got a good, solid body and a fucking deceptively cute face. No one would even guess that you'd be capable of beating someone senseless if you needed to. Or rip them apart.

[ By the way. Gonna kiss those lips. ]

How the fuck is that shit not attractive?

[fullgauntlet]

Eh-?

[EHHH???]

Kacchan-

[He's going to melt in 4k. Izuku stands there flabbergasted in Katsuki's grasp with a kissed face and a dazed expression. He still doesn't quite know how to process genuine compliments from Katsuki.]

... You really think those things?

[apshot]

[ He's going to be so goddamn embarrassed later. But - ]

Would I be saying them right now if they weren't?

[ Courage arrows, remember? Everything he's saying right now is due to being honest. Nothing but honest. ]

[fullgauntlet]

[Oh, he knows. That's why he looks off to the side and feels this very big urge and wash of guilt for it.]

Kacchan... If you like me for my body that much, what else do you like about me?

[apshot]

All of the sudden you're very interested in what I have to say...

[ Stalling? Maybe. However he is curious to know what has changed. Why all of the sudden Izuku is okay with asking questions that he had decided against earlier.

Not that Katsuki ultimately cares? ]

[fullgauntlet]

I- I know what I said before. I don't want to push you about how you feel about me. But... My- My...

[... His appearance? His body?]

... N-nevermind...

[apshot]

[ His face is red now, of course. But since Izuku's more or less asked about it? Katsuki really doesn't have a choice.

BUT FINE. ]

It's your attitude, idiot. Like I'm envious as hell that the heroic spirit or whatever comes to you so damn naturally. I've always felt like you're miles above me and I have to work twice as hard to catch up or do something so that you don't leave me behind.

[ One hand goes into his pocket. The other rubs at his neck. ]

There's a lot to admire. You're smart, sure, but more than anything you can really pick shit apart. Fuck, you're easy to work with because it's like you read my mind. At least that's how it is when you're not fucking feral.

[fullgauntlet]

[................. Bless you courage magic for giving Katsuki this unfiltered moment. But at the same time, it sort of makes Izuku freeze up? He stares at Katsuki with wide eyes and his cheeks flaring red.]

Wuha-!? Wait- Wha- I-

[He can't take it back now. He did want to know what Katsuki thinks of him. Truly thinks of him. He just wasn't expecting it to make his chest feel tight.]

You didn't have to say that m-much! ... I- ... Thank you, Kacchan.

[apshot]

...Too much? Too fucking much?

[ The blonde scoffs. Buries his face into Izuku's neck again. His cheeks burn but he doesn't really have a choice. ]

That's just the tip of the iceberg.

[fullgauntlet]

[He jolts a bit. A little guilty for Katsuki going into all of that anyway. He knows he said he wouldn't make Katsuki say anything unless he really wanted to but somehow here they are.

Izuku's hands go to Katsuki's shoulders again. One sliding up to the back of Katsuki's neck to hold gently.]

Just the tip of the iceberg...?

[... Yeah. He can't help himself. He wants to hear more. Maybe. Definitely. Sorry, Kacchan...]

[apshot]

[ He's digging his fingers into Izuku's clothes now. Not out of fear or embarrassment. Because in the end, Katsuki just feels so intensely. Now that he's come to terms with such emotions...

It's a wonder why he had ever denied them in the first place. ]

I worry about you. So fucking much.

[fullgauntlet]

Kacchan...

[This part he sort of knows now. After all their time together there is a lot between them that spells this out. They worry about each other at momentous levels. How he felt when he thought when Katsuki had died or all the times that he's lost his shit when it came to Katsuki's safety. It goes the same way from the small things like Katsuki fussing over the little things to fighting for the biggest things.]

Y-You know that I feel the same way about you, ne? I know I don't have to worry about you because you are who you are but... I can't help it, either.

[apshot]

Yeah, I know.

[ And he does know. Izuku's made some of those feelings truly apparent after all. He knows from the way that the guy goes feral any time Katsuki is insulted. Wounded. Threatened. Give him back is what the fucking nerd had said. So it makes the blonde wonder when and how long things had been like this. Between them. How long had all of it went unnoticed. ]

All of it, really. You're not really subtle, Izuku.

[fullgauntlet]

[Because he's been in love with Katsuki for as long as he can remember, but thanks for starting to notice that, Kacchan.]

I-I guess I'm not...

[He's not going to take it back.]

[apshot]

[ He pulls back. Gives Izuku a look. ]

That's fine. I don't do subtle well anyway.

[ Going to give Izuku a quick, almost shy peck on the lips. ]

Food? That's what you were doing right?

[fullgauntlet]

[Izuku stares at the other and takes the kiss with a slight blush appearing on his face.]

Ahh... Y-yeah, I was just making something to eat for the both of us. I hope that's okay.

wrap up here soon?

[apshot]

[ The blush is really fucking cute, okay? Almost makes Katsuki groan on the spot. Almost.

Instead he rubs at his face and neck. ]

Yeah. Can you take care of it tonight?

[ Like he thinks he needs a moment to compose himself or something? ]
