"Katsuki? Are you alright?"

"Huh? The fuck do you mean? Of course I'm alright."

"Really? Cause you never hold my hand at school. Also, you're cutting off my circulation..." Katauki glanced down at his hand. Lo and behold you were right. Not only was your hand in his, but Katsuki was gripping it so tightly that your fingers had gone white. He released it quickly and darted his eyes away from you.

"Sorry..." 

Sorry?

"Okay, now I KNOW something's up. Spit it out Katsuki Bakugou." He clicked his tongue and nearly started sweating. Whenever you used his full name, he knew you were planning to be persistent.

"What's the old married couple bickering about now?" Kirishima joked as he walked behind you.

"Shut up you spiky haired fuck, I'll kill you." Katsuki growled.

-At Lunch-

"We all leave for our internships tomorrow huh? Guess we'll be apart for a whole week." Ochaco stated sadly from across the table. You chuckled and responded.

"It's only a week Ochaco. Besides, I think we both know who you'll miss the mos-"

"(Y/N)! STOOOOP." She nervously waved her hands in front of her. Izuku just glanced up from his food with a puzzled expression. You wiggled your eyebrows at her before taking another bite of your food.

"By the way Shouto, where did you decide to intern at?" The boy glanced up shyly at your question and mumbled.

"Oh, my dad's agency..." Your eyes widened and lips parted slightly, shocked. It didn't last long as your lips curled into a gentle smile.

"Good for you." You spoke softly. Shouto's face instantly began to redden. In a fit of panic, the boy began shoveling food into his mouth. Izuku smiled at Shouto and spoke next.

"What about you (y/n)? Who are you going to intern with?"

"Ah, with Thirteen actually."

"Eh?! Thirteen? Don't they work at the school though?" Izuku questioned.

"Yeah. But since the USJ is still being repaired from the villains attack, Thirteen has time to work with me at their agency in Hosu."

"That's great (y/n)! I'm surprised though, isn't Thirteen a rescue hero?" Ochaco interjected. You nodded and peered down at your hands.

"I have great combat capabilities, but there's more to being a hero then just battle..." You clenched your fists tightly. "I want to learn how to save people. I want to learn what it really means to be a hero!" Izuku, Shouto, and Ochaco all looked up at you with grins on their faces.

Katsuki was returning to the table with his food but still managed to overhear you. He too, couldn't help but smile softly at your determined words.

-Walking Home-

"Ya wanna go get curry?" Katsuki asked, his hand holding yours, swinging your arms as you walked down the street.

"Normally I'd say yes, but Takashi made ramen and we planned to spend time together tonight since I'll be gone for a week." The blond puffed his cheeks out and huffed angrily.

"Fine..."

"PFFFFFFT." You nearly choked on air.

"WHAT? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU LAUGHING AT?!"

"YOU'RE JUST SO CUTE KATSUKI."

"SHUT UP, I'LL KILL YO-" You cut his ranting short by reaching up and pressing your lips against his. Upon pulling away, you spoke softly.

"Let's go on another date when you get back. We'll get curry, sneak candy into the movies... Maybe even get into a fist fight in the middle of the street." You gave him a beaming smile, causing Katsuki's eyes to soften. He could feel his heart melting.

He wanted that. He wanted to do stupid things and laugh every day with you. Even with the weight of his newfound knowledge, even with the seemingly endless amount of baggage that came with loving you.

He didn't care.

You heard Katsuki's bag fall to the ground, his hands reaching up to cup your cheeks. It surprised you the way his lips crashed against yours, connecting with a tenderness you hadn't experienced before. But you helplessly melted against him nonetheless, consumed by his warmth. It felt like time stop as he lingered there against you. He pulled away slowly, his hands traveling down your arms.

"Have fun with your brother tonight. I'll see you at the station tomorrow morning. Don't forget to set your alarm." You just stared at him in awe.

Wow... he's being so sweet toda-  

"If you're late, I'll fucking kill you." He finished.

Annnnnd he's back. 

With that, you separated.

As you skipped up to your door, you couldn't help the fluttering within your heart.

"What's with the dorky grin (y/n)?" Takashi chuckled as you walked inside. You did a turn before flopping down face first on the couch next to him.

"Don't mind me, I'm just head over heels for Katsuki is all. What a time to be alive." You muffled into the cushion. Takashi reached over and patted your back.

"Ahh young love."

"Heh, stop talking like an old man." You both laughed.

"By the way, the ramen is ready. Also..." He got up and shuffled over to the kitchen. He bent down and opened the fridge before pulling out a giant plate. "I GOT YOU A CAKE TO CELEBRATE YOUR INTERNSHIP!" Your eyes shot up at him and you leaped to your feet.

"YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT. EVERYONE GETS AN INTERNSHIP... BUT I WILL STILL HUMBLY ACCEPT THAT CAKE." You ran over and gave Takashi a big hug.

"Yeah but yours is special."

"You're only saying that cause you're my big brother ya goof." You smiled.

"By the way, you never told me who you decide to intern with?"

"Oh, I'll be interning under Thirteen in Hosu City."

"I see. Good for you!" He made his way back to the couch. "Whelp, grab your ramen and cake and get ready for an epic night of wait for it... BOARD GAMES!" Takashi eagerly yelled.

"Oh my god I take it back, you really are an old man..."

-The Following Morning-

"You all have your costumes right? Remember, you aren't allowed to wear them in public. Don't drop them or anything." Aizawa drones on.

"YESSIR!" Mina excitedly yelled, throwing her hands up in the air.

"Speak clearly. It's 'Yes sir' Ashido."

"Yes sir..." She pouted. Aizawa continued.

"Make sure to mind your manners with the heroes at your internships. Off with you now."

"Yes sir!" The class responded in unison.

Everyone scattered in different directions, heading to their appropriate trains. After saying goodbye, Izuku and Ochaco headed over to say bye to Iida. As you waved to them, Katsuki approached you from behind.

"I'll miss you a little bit. Got that you idiot?" Katsuki mumbled, his eyes cast downwards. You turned around and smiled softly.

"What? That's the best goodbye that King Explosion Murder can manage?" You chuckled and places your costume case on the ground, stretching your arms out and waiting for him to come to you. "I know that people can see us, but you can make an exception today right?"

Your embrace looked so inviting to him. Katsuki didn't hesitate to hook an arm under your thighs, hoisting you up from the ground, literally sweeping you off your feet. He held you there and leaned forward to kiss you sweetly. You eagerly wrapped your arms around his neck and pressed against him.

"So (y/n), how was that for a goodbye?" He smirked, still hovering over your lips with his forehead pressed against yours. You couldn't help the blood that rushed to your cheeks.

"Hmm pretty good. I've got something almost as good." Katsuki raised an eyebrow and put you down. You rummaged through your backpack and pulled out your DS, holding it out to him. "Here you go. You can borrow it in case you have some downtime." Katsuki glanced at it, arms crossed, before darting his eyes away.

"I-I'll be busy doing hero stuff the whole time. I don't have time for games..." You just stood there, completely not buying it.

Wait for it...

You shook the DS slightly before Katsuki finally swiped it from you.

"Well if you insist, I guess I'll take it off your hands for a bit." 

God, he's so predictable.

"Okay! I gotta go." You leaned down and picked up your costume case, before giving him one last smile. "I'll see ya soon alright?" His eyes were soft as he nodded.

"Alright."

And so you left.

Katsuki just stood there for a moment, watching your back as you eagerly ran to your train with the biggest smile across your face. He wasn't quite sure what came over him at the moment. His throat became tight as he struggled to hold back tears. Lifting an arm to rub his eyes, he quietly repeated himself.

"Alright."
