"The Distance We Close" AO3 BakuDeku Fic - Chapter 4: Sugar and Heat (Sneak Peek Snippet)
Katsuki stared, his eyes shifting towards Izuku’s hair. He began to get lost in the direction of the green waves, following from the outline of his figure, back to his hairline before his eyes net Izuku’s, staring right back into his. Katsuki’s heart sped up in its heartbeat. He could hear it in his ears as his eyes shifted their focus quickly from eyes, to nose, to lips, quickly back up to eyes in fear of getting caught.
“Kaachan…” Izuku spoke softly, a sadness in his voice. It caught Katsuki off guard a bit, “…I miss All Might.”
So much had happened, Katsuki hadn’t had much time to even think about All Might other than at the funeral, but even then, his mind was distracted with the sight of Izuku. Katsuki’s eyes fell to the seat of the couch, blinking rapidly to hold back his emotions.
“Me too..” His voice faltered.

"Feel better?" Katsuki stood, making his way back over to the plate of cookies on the counter to grab another.
Izuku sat up straighter, "Yeah. I think letting all that out helped me a bit. Thanks for listening."
"Well, we can't have you distracted tomorrow, can we?" Katsuki walked back and sat down, breaking the cookie in half, "Want a piece?"
Izuku closed his eyes and opened his mouth. Katsuki froze.
HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT!!! DOES HE ACTUALLY WANT ME TO FEED HIM!? HAVE I BEEN BLESSED?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, IDIOT!? FEED IT TO HIM! WHEN WILL YOU GET ANOTHER CHANCE!?
Katsuki, with a slightly shaky hand, guided the cookie to Izuku's lips, his mouth closing on it as Katsuki held it there. Izuku's eyes opened wide, staring with a pink face. Katsuki was frozen now in the eye contact. He didn't even notice that Izuku had moved his hand to grab Katsuki's wrist. He let go of the edge of the cookie, watching Izuku use his other hand to take the cookie out of his mouth, not chewing it.
"Um... Kaachan... " Izuku started, lowering his head a bit, "I was yawning..."
Katsuki felt his world crashing all around him, feeling exposed and embarrassed by the sudden feeding stunt.
YOU IDIOT!! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT!?
