The war had finally ended, All For One's corpse was celebrated and left for dust where he would never again take another breathe.
Shigaraki Tomura -Tenko Shimura- was captured and placed into Tartarus, with the rest of the league of villains to never see the light of day.

The remaining heroes licked their wounds and slowly started to recover to help rebuild Japan.

Izuku Midoriya, holder of one for all started to wake up, feeling peace once again.

All his classmates left the hospital as their injuries and wounds stabilised. Deemed fit to return to UA.

Izuku looked at Katsuki. He felt a sick sort of guilt sitting in his stomach, wires reached out of Katsuki's chest, monitoring and stabilising his heart. His eye, just the same way, was wrapped up, Izuku was and forever will be haunted by the image below the bandages.
That was his fault. He had been too slow.

Katsuki turned his head, looking directly at the green hair boy
"Did ya' lose your voice or something?" He raised his eyebrow. Izuku jerked.

"No, I'm just thinking." He mutters. "Lot going on in my head."

Katsuki sighed. "Well, stop. Feeling guilty ain't gonna change the past, right? What's done is done, and we won. We're both alive and breathing, right?"

Izuku looked at him, forcing a smile with a sense of pride and admiration for his best friend, Kacchan always made him feel this way. Warm, safe he simply just needed to be around him. This was different from his other friends Iida, Todoroki, or Uraraka. Perhaps it was just because he's known him so long, Katsuki was just...special.

"Move over." Katsuki grunted.

"Eh?" Izuku looked up from his phone. He was giving his parents updates, assuring them he was fine. His mother had finally accepted that this would be his life. It didn't stop Izuku from feeling guilty, he put so much stress on her shoulders.

"I said move over." Katsuki said louder.
He climbed, from his own hospital bed to Izukus's.
Securing his monitor, and morphine drip so it wasn't pulled too tight. Izuku felt so warm being so close, he noticed Katsuki's heart rate pick up so slightly. Probably due to the movement.

"I was so scared." He finally spoke outloud, his voice turned into a sob. "I thought I was going to lose you." Tears rolled down his face. "When I saw you, I just-" Words barely came out. How could he explain how his world had collapsed?

"You dumbass, some smelly ass villain isn't going to kill me." Katsuki knocked his shoulder. "Takes a lot more than that." He continued to nudge him as if tying to force his words into Izuku's brain. "Come on, you know that by now."

"Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight?" Izuku raised his eye brow.

"That's the name of your future number one hero, don't forget it."

"As if!" Izuku called out, responding in backlash. "The name Deku will be everywhere you turn" Izuku sniffled unable to take the smirk off his face "Number 5." He teased.

"OI! NUMBER TW-ONE NUMBER ONE."

"NUMBER 2! HE ADMITS IT! I'LL REACH NUMBER ONE!" Izuku jab at his thigh in gleeful victory.

Katsuki swats his hand around. "Yeah yeah fine" he grumbles. Katsuki squeezed his hand. He stared at Izuku for a long time making Izuku tilt his head in question. He scoffed before clicking his tongue.

"FUCK!'" and started to spark his quirk and smashed his hand against his head.
Deku yelped jumping in shock quickly wiping his tears.

"Kacchan? What's going on are you okay?"
Another explosion directed at his own forehead before sending a glare and a question Izuku's way

"What did you do to me?"

"Do to you?" Izuku was suddenly worried and reached to press the nurse call button.
"Are you okay? Kacchan? calm down it's probably the pain killers." they were both on some heavy drugs, so strange behaviour was odd but not out of the question.
Katsuki leaned over and grabbed his wrist, from what was suddenly hard and angry was suddenly soft, gentle and very warm, pulling Izuku's hand away from the call button

"Im fine" his tone was a forced calmness he swallowed back and scrunched his face.
"What did you do to me?" he repeated

Izukus heart was pounding he didn't want to move, this was all normal kacchan behaviour but with his wounds, his injuries it scared him.
"I didn't do anything," he repeated

"You didn't do anything to make me fall in love with you?" the blond blurted
Izukus eyes widened, his face went red.

"Lo- love?" He questioned "fall in love with...me?" He looked at Kacchan- At Katsuki Bakugo whose face was red and gentle but also scared. This was clearly unknown territory to the hero prodigy.

"You can't help romantic feelings" he murmurs, as he said those words izuku couldn't help but stare at him. He was attractive-no he was very attractive, despite in wounds and bandages . Fluffy hair, worn face, soft expression and lips, kissable lips. He'd never thought about Kacchan this way before. Or maybe he had? Ok he definitely had, but he'd ignored them for so long. With so much going on izuku never thought about himself, about what he felt. What he wanted. Which was very obviously Katsuki bakugo

"I CAN HELP THEM AND I DONT WANT THEM!" katsuki screamed and smashed his explosion into his face again.

"KACCHAN!" izuku yelped and physically leaned over and grabbed both his hands to pull them away which instead pulled him towards kacchan causing the pair to blush at how close their faces were their breath on each other's skin.

Izuku couldn't help but squirm not to move away in fact the exact opposite. He wanted to be closer-needed to be closer. Katsuki slipped his hand from Izuku grasp so he could take both of their hands to cup Izuku's face and kiss him gently. Izuku didn't know how or even if he should react but couldn't stop himself from kissing Katsuki back his heart making a new rhythm. A feeling that had always been there but now Izuku saw it in a new light. This was just so right.

"You're a fucking horrible kisser." Katsuki said to him, pulling away as his chest started to hurt but he would never dare admit it. Izuku bit his lips as if trying to hold the feeling a little longer

"It's my first kiss! I'm sorry about that!" He huffed.

"Yeah? And it's my first kiss too and look I'm great at it." He announced. "Right?"

Izuku pulled back. "You are good at kissing." He admits pouting slightly

"Yeah I guess you'll have to kiss me more to get better at it." He looked down the flustered teenager. Izuku lost his words to reply and katsuki started laughing. "Uh huh there he goes, guess I'll have to call you mine till you're better at kissing."

"Or maybe forever. " izuku slips out before he went red and started apologising.

"Woah hold up day one of dating and you're already proposing, moving real fast there Nerd." He teased

"Sorry sorry"

"Dont apologise just...wait a bit Izuku."

Days passed and Izuku didnt want to leave katsukis side. Katsuki was starting to heal and the doctors explained they would have another day at the hospital, izuku was nuzzled into his shoulder, they hadn't told anyone. It was just them, and the odd medical staff who smiled at them.

The door opened, and izuku pulled himself off katsuki and winced, he turned his head and saw his mentor staring them, mouth gawked open.
"AH," All Might shock turned to a smile looking at them both. Katsuki flared his nostrils.

"Did you ever learn how to knock or just forget how to in your senile age?" He asked

"I am very sorry boys," All Might apologised. "I just want you both to know you have my full support and-"

"What're you here for?" Katsuki snapped at him, coming out didn't scare him, he didn't care who knew who he liked. He just hated people bursting into his personal space

"The arrangements for UA reopening has been sorted and changes finalised"

"Changes?" Izuku finally found his voice. He was unable to meet his mentors gaze

"Yes, a few changes " All Might nodded. "Mostly with your class 2a. " He pulled a document out. "In previous years, students complete a year classes often switching classmates and a different home room teacher. But with" All Might paused. "The traumatic events you all experienced in the last 18 months, it was requested that your class doesn't change, to help with your mental health. This includes Shota Aizawa being your homework teacher. And I, your heroics teacher" he smiles and puts the document away. "Your rooms have both been packed up and moved to the new dorm for your return tomorrow. A member of staff will be taking you and you'll have time to settle before classes resume in a weeks time."

'"So nothing will change besides the fact that we'll second years now?" Katsuki repeated. "Didn't need that whole rant to say that" he scoffed.

All might smiles gently
"Only relaying the words my boy." All might teased. "You have all been assigned mandatory therapy sessions with a new counsellor."

"Traumatised? We're fine" katsiki rolled his eyes "I don't need therapy, " he looked at his now new boyfriend. "You probably do...And Todoroki" he thinks out loud

"Katsuki that's mean!"

1A-no 2A sat together watching TV with Izuku and katsuki next to each other only a few centimetres away from cuddling.
Katsuki checked the time. - 9pm. It was already past his bedtime.

"Im going to bed" he mutters

"Goodnight!" Kirishima called from next to the pair, with a chant of goodnights following from the class, katsuki rolled his eyes. He leaned to Izuku and kissed his cheek.

The sound of a glass smashing was heard from the kitchen a few metres away

"HOLY SHIT!" Kaminari screamed. The culprit of the now smashed bowl of icecream he was getting.

"LANGUAGE!" Iida waves hid hand.

"No he's right holy shit" Mina replied ignoring the look of horror on Iida's face.

Katsuki wanged to punch his face again, did he seriously just do that? Stupid nerd and stupidly kissable face.
Izuku melted into the cushions of the chair.

"What is going?" Hakugure questioned like the start of an interrogation and sat up to stand in front of them. 18 faces pressed towards them begging for answers practically screaming at the pair.

"SHUT UP!" katsuki yelled, the class quieted and stared. "Yes Izuku and I are dating. It's not that big of a deal."

"OH yes it is very much big of a deal." Jirou chimes in

"Our first relationship of one..TWO A" Mina squealed shaking in excitement.

"I wrote a list of everyone I thought would date in our class, those two were not on the list...I don't even think Bakugos name appears once" denki said checking his notes app.

"It's not that big of a deal" Bakugos repeats, pushing past everyone to leave abandoning his boyfriend with the class.

"Tell him you love him" Ochaco pressed her face against deku, obviously not going to take no for an answer.

"I love you" izuku said loudly still melting in embarrassment but not with any less affection.

Katsuki froze in front of the elavror “Love you too" he repeated. A chorus of awes rippled through the class.
