ILY - [BKDK] | MHA - Chapter 7: Chapter 7

"Kacchan plays... Basketball? Is that what you said?" Izuku squinted a little, staring at Ochako. The brunette grew a little nervous from the staring. "Uh... yeah, you okay? There's no one in the hallway, so I have no idea why you wouldn't be able to hear..."
"Haha! Ah, that- that's because I spaced out, is all." Izuku laughed nervously. "You space out a lot, Midoriya." Todoroki commented as the three walked together.
Izuku cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. "Where's Iida?" He looked away from Shoto to look at the brunette again. "Oh! His family needed him back home for something, just for today, though."
They reached the Gym doors, and could already hear the basketball dribbling and being thrown from the inside of the gym. Izuku had no idea why, but he felt his heart flutter just from even thinking about going inside.
Izuku couldn't help but stare at the blond playing. Since he couldn't hear anything already, he was able to completely focus on the blond and the way his tank top hugged his chest in all the right places, the way his biceps flexed when he moved him arms to shoot the ball. The way his hair was pushed back with a headband —probably Mina's— and how adorable that looked, that cocky smirk on his face, those eyes full of his pride and ego, and—
Izuku was yanked onto the bleachers, they sat towards the back, as they would be able to see a lot more. Izuku grinned wide as he way he watched Katsuki play. As long as no one was talking to him, he probably seemed totally normal.
Izuku observed Katsuki's other friends join him to play as well. He smiled as he watched the group, but his eyes mainly still focused on Katsuki. He zipped open his bag, pulling out his sketchbook to draw Katsuki.
"He's so in love that he can't even hear me say his name. I've called him five times now." Ochako rolled her eyes. "In love? With who?" Shoto asked. "Bakugo, of course. Just look at him, he's practically head over heels for him." Ochako smirked, taking a picture.
"But he doesn't have heels over his head—"
"It's not meant to be taken seriously." Ochako cleared.
"Ah, I got it."
"Izuku? Helloooo?" Ochako tried to get his attention again, but he seemed to be too into it.
"Jeez, you can't be a more obvious gay than this." Ochako sighed.
She was talking to Todoroki when she heard a bang, causing her to flinch and look at Izuku, as that's where she heard the sound coming from. "Izuku!? Are you oka— shoot! Your nose is bleeding!" She panicked.
It all happened so fast, Izuku couldn't even process it. Izuku touched his nose, where the ball hit him. "A-Ah..." he hissed, his eyes widened to see blood. "Blood?..." he mumbled to himself. Before he knew it, he felt his chin being held, and turned towards the side, to meet Katsuki's eyes.
"Shit, you okay? Does it hurt? Fuck, it's bleeding." Katsuki started to panic. He then turned to his friends, "I told you not to throw it when he wasn't paying attention!" He scolded. "Fuck, Izuku, answer me. Why aren't you answering?"
Izuku just stared at Katsuki. He couldn't make out anything he was saying, as he was so into staring at his face. Man, whenever he saw Katsuki up close like this, he'd always notice tiny details about him, like the little scar on his right eyebrow, how his red eyes have little flecks of orange and yellow around the pupil, oh, and his... lips.
That's when he noticed Katsuki was actually saying something.
"O-Oh— huh, what?" Izuku finally had snapped out of it.
"Are. You. Okay." Katsuki repeated himself for the 3rd time, grabbing Izuku's shoulders. "Does it still hurt? Let's go to the nurse. Right now." Katsuki took his hand. "Kacc—"
"C'mon." Katsuki didn't take no for an answer, dragging Izuku behind him. "I don't have a tissue right now, shit,"
"Kacchan, it's just a nosebleed, I'll be okay, I-"
"Lean forward, pinch your nose, and breathe to your mouth. Do it."
Thank goodness he was looking at Katsuki when he said that. He didn't wanna know what Katsuki would do if he didn't pay attention.
Izuku pinched down his nose, and breathed through his mouth.
"Thank goodness it's not a serious injury." Recovery girl sighed. "You just need to clean the blood up with a tissue, It'll stop soon. Please be careful from next time." She waved goodbye. "Tha- Thank you!" Izuku waved as well, while Katsuki just had his hands in his pockets.
"Sorry 'bout that. I told them that you looked like you weren't paying attention. You were writing something, weren't you?"
"Nah... it's- it's okay, it's sort of my fault, I uh- didn't hear," he laughed nervously. "And yeah, sort of. I uh- I was drawing."
"Shit, painting, drawing, calculus, history, damn nerd. What else?" Katsuki teased.
"Well, definitely not cooking." Izuku joked. "Oh for sure, you can't cook for shit." Katsuki laughed.
I wish I could hear it. Izuku thought to himself. What? That was strange. Why did he think of that? Literally just a year ago he swore he would never wear hearing aids ever again. So why did he want to hear now? Izuku needed to stop.
"Kacchan,"
"Hm?"
"How would you describe yourself?" Izuku asked, looking at Katsuki.
"Huh?"
"Describe yourself."
"Okay, well, I'm... cool, I'm amazing, I'm perfect, No one can beat me. I'm the best at everything." Katsuki smirked, making the green haired male smile. "How could you describe... say, your voice?"
"Hah, why? Dumbass, you can hear it." Katsuki raised a brow.
I wish.
"Haha, I was just wondering, that's all."
"Well, a lot of people tell me it's loud, but they're just fucking stupid, er... It's the best shit you'll hear."
Izuku giggled, "I bet. I'll cherish it." If I ever even manage to hear it.
Katsuki smirked at his response. He could make out his friends hiding behind a vending machine in the corner, pointing to their hands. Katsuki was weirded out, but he understood what they meant.
Katsuki took a deep breath, slowly took Izuku's hand in his, he averted his gaze, feeling his cheeks heat up.
Mina then mouthed: "Go on, just like we practiced. Tell him." Very aggressively. Katsuki rolled his eyes, taking a deep breath.
Flashback:
Mina sat down at their lunch table. "So, when are you planning to ask him out?" She grinned.
Katsuki almost choked on his food. "Excuse me?"
"Ask him out!" Mina grinned cheerfully.
"I'm not asking anybody out."
"You're asking Izuku out, no excuses."
"WHAT!?" Katsuki yelled, panicking internally. What the fuck were these assumptions? Why were they thinking like that? Nothing was going on between them! It's not like he felt anything! So what the hell was she on about.
"Oh c'mon, Katsuki, your gay shows all the damn time when you're with him." Mina wiggled her eyebrows
"What!? No—"
"C'mon bro, everyone could tell something was going on between you two." Kirishima grinned. "Don't you like him? Even just a little?"
Katsuki groaned, "I'm not answering that." Then the whole group started "Ooo-ing."
"Shut the fuck up! You idiots are so annoying."
"If you really want to get closer to him, you should ask him out." Mina smirked
"I'm not going to ask him out."
"Y'know the Allmight themed amusement they built recently? Think about it, just the two of you. hanging out. all alone."
All alone.
End of Flashback
"Deku."
"Hm?"
"I didn't think this far, shit." Katsuki muttered under his breath.
Mina facepalmed.
"You- You and uh, fuck, the Allmight amusement park. Yes?"
"Huh?"
"Amusement park. This Saturday. You're coming."
"Aren't you supposed to ask that as a question?"
"It wasn't a question, you have to come."
Izuku blushed. "Ah. o-of course. yes. I- I will." He cleared his throat.
