You always wanted to steal Semiu's glasses just once, even if it's just only for the briefest second, you always wondered what it was like wearing them, and when you actually did, you watch her eyes squint at you like you’d committed a crime, only to end up fixing your hair and muttering that it “actually kinda suit you.” And not without leaning forward to steal a kiss. Cuz it's only fair!
I do think that whenever Ilya calls Shane and Shane doesn't pick up, Ilya leaves a voicemail. And the voicemail can be anything from, "Come find me," because they got separated at the mall, to "Hello hello, I miss you, oke bye" because Shane has been out of the house all day. There's also, "Coffee shop says they don't sell your tea anymore. Tell me what you want instead. I leave in three minutes. Bye-bye." and "I will not be home when you get here. Running away to join circus. Maybe will be back with Thai food. Mwah mwah."
This is also how Shane ends up getting into his car, seeing that Ilya left a voicemail, and unthinkingly playing it through the speakers of the car only for the deep voice of Shane's Russian-accented husband to boom, "Answer your fucking phone. Slut." with both the windows and moon roof open.
It's the middle of the night, and Izuku wakes up because someone lies on the bed next to him; it's a single bed which means there's no room for two adults who happen to be pro heroes. Besides, being so close to his childhood friend is nothing good for Izuku's heart.
"Kacchan?"
"Yeah?"
Izuku sighs and rolls his eyes, he can feel Katsuki's muscular body behind him and he's not sure if it's better to stay that way or to face him. In the end, he chooses not to move an inch.
"This is not your bed."
"I know," the pro hero mumbles, tightening his grip around Izuku's waist.
"We don't fit in here," the green haired teacher says, trying to push him away with his elbow. Lately Katsuki has become a lot clingy around him and Izuku is not sure if it's because he's trying to make up for how he treated him when they were younger or because some other reason.
"I'll buy a bigger mattress tomorrow," Katsuki mumbles, making Izuku shiver the moment the blond pro hero's lips brush against the back of his neck.
"Kacchan, we don't sleep together!" Izuku says, regretting it immediately because it sounds... weird. He's glad his childhood friend can't see the blush spreading from his cheeks towards his neck. "You have your own bedroom!"
"I don't like it. Yours is better."
"Kacchan..."
"Come on, Izuku. Just this time, I had a bad day and I want to be here with you."
The green haired teacher sighs in defeat then; sure, he's only a part time pro hero but he understands that when something goes wrong during a mission it can haunt you for a couple of days.
"Alright, Kacchan."
***
They're roommates despite earning enough money to have their own apartments; Izuku has thought a couple of times that it's really a bad idea to live under the safe roof as his crush, but he couldn't say no when Katsuki pleaded him.
Maybe his childhood friend needs him now, but Izuku is sure that, as soon as Katsuki falls in love, he'll probably ask the teacher to move out so he can invite his significant other whenever he wants.
The teacher has started to think he should use one of those dating apps his students talk so much about, but he's not sure that could help him move on.
And Katsuki is just making it more difficult by waking up every single time in Izuku's bed instead of his own.
Then, after a couple of days, when Izuku comes home after his late night patrol, he finds out Katsuki in his room again, although the mattress he's lying on it's significantly bigger than the one he remembers.
"Kacchan! What did you do?"
"I bought a bigger mattress, just like I told you." He says nonchalantly like it's the most natural thing in the world. Like it's perfectly normal for roommates to sleep on the same bed.
Izuku pinches the bridge of his nose, deciding he's too tired to deal with this. He'll talk to that stubborn pro hero of his in the morning.
"Alright, I'll sleep in your bedroom then..." He turns around, and has to blink a couple of times, not quite believing how fast Katsuki got out of bed, and suddenly appearing right in front of the only exit.
"What's the matter with us sleeping next to each other?" The tall pro hero asks, almost desperate. "We used to do that all the time when we were kids."
"We're not kids anymore, Kacchan!" Izuku is getting slightly irritated, not because he's mad, but due to the fact that he doesn't want the conversation to go where he thinks it's going.
"So?" The blond pro hero is getting irritated as well, although Izuku has no idea why.
"Don't you think it's... a bit weird for two friends to sleep on the same bed?" The teacher knows that's not the case, that plenty of friends do that and don't make it weird, but he doesn't know what else to say without accidentally confessing he has a crush on his best friend.
"What do you mean?" Katsuki narrows his eyes, crossing both arms over his broad chest.
"I mean... it's not that I don't want to spend time with you, you know that's not it, but... I think that I'd prefer only share a bed with the person I'm dating."
The expression on Katsuki's face it's so painful that it looks like Izuku just punched him.
"Are you dating someone?" The pro hero grimaces like he's being tortured, the teacher is tempted to ask him if he's hurt.
"Well, no. But... I mean when I do. Besides, that works for you too! What would your partner think if they know you share a bed with me every night?"
Instead of arguing with him, Katsuki relaxes, like he's relieved, right before bursting into laughter. Izuku is so confused he's not sure if he should be offended or not.
"I'll ask you about that after I take you on our first date," the pro hero says, still chuckling.
"Kacchan, I'm being serious!" Izuku frowns at him. He tries to say something else, but his words vanish before even getting out of his mouth when he feels his childhood friend pulling him against his broad chest.
"When have I ever joked about anything?" Katsuki asks in a low voice, red eyes meeting Izuku's in a way that prompts the teacher to shiver. "My love for you is not a joke. I have no idea how you've managed to spend all these years with me without realizing how much I fucking love you. I could ask you to marry me right now!"
Izuku looks like a strawberry at the moment, but he doesn't care about that. His mind and heart are busy making sure they heard the pro hero right.
"So that's why you've been sneaking in my room every night?"
Katsuki smirks this time, placing a kiss on the top of the teacher's head.
"That's why I cook for you, that's why I paid for that mecha-suit of yours, that's why I begged you to move in with me, that's why I hiss at the receptionist every time I see her (she's always fluttering her stupid eyelashes at you) and that's why I do most things every single day: because I'm an idiot in love."
Izuku starts tearing up but he smiles back at Katsuki.
"So what do you say, my crybaby? Will you be okay with us sharing the same room from now on?"
"Yes," the teacher manages to say, still so overwhelmed with warm emotions that it's a bit difficult for him to focus. "But you have to kiss me first."
"Baby, you know I'm gonna do much more than that," Katsuki promises before pressing their lips together for the first time.
Izuku doesn't mind, they have a bigger mattress now after all.
