    Summary

    “Kacchan.” Deku doesn’t raise his voice, but it’s enough to stop him in his tracks anyway. “I—I’m going to miss you.” His words waver, and Katsuki doesn’t have to turn around to know exactly how those tears look slipping down Deku’s cheeks.

    “Of course, you are,” Katsuki grunts. “Who’s gonna push you to be better, huh? You better not go soft over there.”

    That draws a weak, watery laugh. “Don’t worry, I won’t. I still have to beat you when I come back.”

    The familiar challenge should make Katsuki’s competitive spirit roar to life in his chest. It feels dimmed now, flickering under the ice that still hasn’t let go of his insides. Still, he manages to reply, “I’d like to see you try.”

    -

    Katsuki doesn't know what he expects after graduation, but he knows it isn't for Deku to immediately set off for America. What he expects even less is what grows between them with time and distance.

    Summary

    The only thing Aizawa cared about this late at night was food and sleep. That was until he found one of his students horribly ill in the dorms. Who would have thought Bakugou would be the one taking care of Midoriya? And who would have thought he was good at it?

    Summary

    They sit there, in the darkness of the common room, about a few centimeters between them, but miles apart. Somehow, the quiet is companionable. More than it has been in many years. Katsuki knows he’s responsible for the rift between them, and he knows even more that it can’t only be Deku who attempts to mend it.

    “Hey,” he says, after a while, and Deku turns to him in question, but Katsuki refuses to look his way. “Touch me again.”

    (or: the kidnapping incident leaves bakugou traumatised about being touched on the back of his neck, and midoriya decides to take matters into his own hands)
