ilya is awake in the middle of the night and heβs just lying there in the bed, a hand behind his head, the other resting in his stomach and staring at the ceiling when he hears shane asking almost whispering still sleepy and very softly βilya why youβre so far from me?β and ilya almost burst with the amount of love and cuteness aggression heβs feeling and right away goes snuggles with his husband βoh my baby, iβm sorryβ he cooed βiβm here now. letβs go back to sleepβ as he pull shane into his arms and burying his face into shaneβs hair and smiling while he listen shane letting out tiny pleasure sounds and not long after that with his husband very soft and warm in his arms he finally drifts to sleep

you don't really remember a time before katsuki bakugo--the thought alone sounds ridiculous. but just because you've known him your whole life doesn't mean you've always liked him. both your moms were best friends since school, so naturally you two were shoved together from the start.
childhood
γ»during childhood, he's isn't a complete bully to you, he mostly just wants everything done his own way "right"
γ»and you're one of those people who don't just fold under like that
γ»"you're doing it wrong," he says, arms crossed
γ»"then do it yourself." you shoot back, hardly even looking at him
γ»and he huffs... but then he does sit next to you, showing you instead of just grabbing it away
γ»even from childhood, it was like a game: he pushes and you push back just as hard, you're children after all
γ»your moms think it's hilarious the way your worlds orbit each other (and even from that age they joked about you two getting married in the future)
γ»there might've been a playground wedding with izuku as the officiant, but you can't remember if that was a fever dream or not (it wasn't)
γ»there was one time that a boy at the park made fun of you and, to your surprise, katsuki stuck up for you
γ»that isn't just a one time thing either... some kid at the park laughs when you trip? katsuki's already in their face, shoving them back
γ»he just reacts like it's instinct
γ»when mitsuki scolds him, he'll cross his arms and glare, muttering, "they started it," even when they didn't
growing up
γ»you're in the same classes, same neighborhood, same everything
γ»you try to make other friends (and you do), but katsuki is always there
γ»sometimes he'd criticize the people you hang out with like he's offended by their existence
γ»"they're extras." he says, as if that meant anything to you as a kid
γ»to him there's a clear hierarchy: him, you, then everyone else
γ»it's not even because he has a crush or anything, it's just familiarity and the fact that you've been there long enough that he doesn't even dare question your presence anymore
γ»your mom and mitsuki definitely love how inseparable you two are and joke about it constantly
γ»as a kid you call him 'kacchan', but as you grow a little older that nickname shifts to 'katsu' or, at the very least, just his first name
middle school
γ»by now, everyone knows katsuki is... a lot
γ»but with you--at least just when you two are alone--he knows he doesn't have to prove anything (not that it stops him from trying)
γ»and unlike so many in his life, you don't treat him like he's untouchable
γ»but as you two grew into your own people, things started changing--or maybe it was that he didn't change
γ»the way he talks to izuku, the way he treats people that he thinks are "below him"
γ»it's not just a loud thing anymore, it's cruel
γ»of course, you can't ignore it and your words start out small, "that was unnecessary." but he brushes you off, "stay out of it."
γ»and it keeps happening
γ»and one day you don't stay out of it
π₯, βΛβΉβ‘
it's after school and there's no huge scene or insufferable crowd, it's just you and him.
"why do you talk to him like that?"
he already looked annoyed, "because he's-"
you cut him off before he could say anything else and he freezes, not specifically because of the interruption, but because of the way you did it. you didn't brush it off like usual and there was no humor in your voice.
"you don't get to act like that and expect me to be okay with it."
and for the first time, you're not on his side. and katsuki being katsuki, he doesn't handle it well.
"you don't know what the hell you're talkin' about," he snaps.
"then explain it." you shoot back with an irritated shrug.
he can't, at least not in a way that sounds right out loud.
π₯, βΛβΉβ‘
the distance
γ»you don't cut him off completely, but you do stop defaulting to him
γ»you stop waiting for him after school, stop attempting to side with him on arguments, and stop pretending like things don't bother you
γ»and katsuki may be a middle school boy, but he still notices
γ»immediately
γ»of course, he refuses to admit why it bothers him so much, so he doubles down and acts like he doesn't care, like you're another 'extra' who decided to drift away
γ»but it's not the same because you were never just "someone"
γ»you were one of the many constant things in his life, and now you're not
γ»your mom notices this shift too and asks if you two had a fight, you said, "no" and technically, it wasn't
u.a. (where you're practically forced back into orbit)
γ»you both get into the school of your dreams and suddenly avoiding each other isn't so easy
γ»everything feels so unresolved and weird
γ»yet as time passes, you begin to see something in him, like he's restraining a bit
γ»he's still intense and blunt as ever, but it's like he's aware of himself in a way he wasn't before
γ»maybe it was all the attacks, his kidnapping, or something that's happened between him and izuku
γ»you couldn't be certain
γ»nowadays he doesn't escalate every situation
γ»maybe only 9/10 of them (which is progress for him)
γ»and you could swear that when you catch his eye, it's like he's checking to see if you noticed the difference
γ»you don't forgive him too quickly and you're certainly not okay with everything just because time has passed
γ»but you can see he's trying
γ»sort of badly and awkwardly, but still you can see that he truly wants to be a hero
γ»the rebuilding starts off small--a comment during training, maybe a short conversation, or even him asking gruffly if you needed help on a question that he noticed you've been staring at
γ»and one day, it slips out
π₯, βΛβΉβ‘
"you were right."
you blink. "about what?"
he looks away, jaw tight, and holding an expression that was restrained.
"middle school."
that's it. there's no big speech or apology laced with perfect words. it was just that. but from him, it means everything.
π₯, βΛβΉβ‘
the feelings??
γ»this is where everything you've known changes because it's not just familiarity or the usual "we've always known each other"
γ»you chose to come back to each other
γ»and he knows you could've chosen not to
γ»so when he looks at you now, it's different
γ»on top of that, since there's been so much danger and uncertainty, you cherish the quiet moments with him and that's when you begin to notice your own traitorous feelings
γ»it's not sudden, but it's the way you notice him before anyone else and the way your chest settles when you see katsuki across the room
γ»somehow uncertainty makes things clearer instead of messier
γ»and you think to yourself, if the things around you are falling apart so easily and life is so uncertain, then what you feel right now has to mean something
γ»and somewhere between the fear and relief, you realize that it does
γ»katsuki, on the other hand, doesn't notice at first how different you are to him than everyone else
γ»more important, more present, more everything.
γ»still, he doesn't name it
γ»but one day it clicks
γ»he doesn't just think, "oh, i like her." - it's, "losing you would actually mess me up."
γ»or something else haunting, "someone else could have you."
γ»you may have noticed your feelings first, but he feels it harder
γ»it's all-consuming and bleeds into every free moment he has
the confession
γ»it happens after something small, a training day, probably
γ»you're just laughing with one of the boys in the class, it's nothing serious but katsuki feels it all too much
π₯, βΛβΉβ‘
he doesn't make a scene out of it or drag you into a secret corner. he just calls out to you like usual.
"oi, a minute."
you follow him, albeit a little confused.
it's quiet where he stops, away from the rest of the group who has already decided to get food and have hardly noticed the absence of you two.
he doesn't look at you right away, which is how you know this might be serious.
he keeps his hands shoved in the pockets of his training pants. his jaw is tight. "you've been..."
he trails off for a moment and you wait, your attention never leaving him.
he exhales sharply. "this is stupid."
"then don't say it," you shrug with a light, almost teasing tone.
"no. i'm saying it."
and then he finally looks to you. his gaze was somehow both steady and a little frustrated, but not at you. at himself.
"i don't like it."
you blink a little comically. "what?"
"when you're with other people like that." he nods his head to the path you were just walking and slowly it clicks.
his tone isn't something you're all too used to. there's no aggression in it, it's just... honesty.
you tilt your head a little. "why?"
he pauses. the old him would've deflected and turned it onto you before shutting it down, but now he answers. even if it costs him his pride.
"because i like you."
there's no build up or soft delivery. just the truth, dropped between you like it's been sitting on his chest far too long.
his crimson eyes don't leave your own and he doesn't use his attitude to cover up his words, he just watches you.
one of the few times in his life, something mattered more than his pride: your answer.
then he adds, "i'm not good at this kinda thing. but i know that much."
π₯, βΛβΉβ‘
γ»after the confession, he doesn't suddenly get sweet in the way people usually would
γ»he has his own way, he chooses his words with you and lays off on the nicknames (even if it clearly annoys him to do so)
γ»the way his hand finds yours feels like it's always known where it belongs
γ»he walks beside you, not ahead (which he was never allowed to do in the first place, but i thought it was worth noting) and if someone points it out, he just tells them to shut up
γ»and your moms? absolute, completely, unapologetically insufferable
γ»mitsuki acts like she's been waiting for this moment since you two were in diapers
γ»your mom is somehow worse
γ»they even start planning things you didn't agree to and act like this was always the end goal (it probably, definitely was)
γ» katsuki complains loudly, "you're all insane."
γ»don't worry, he still shows up and you two get flamed side by side <3
γ»yes, the road was a little rough, but through it you two have an understanding that even if the ground were to split in two and the world around you burns--he'd still stand by you, and you with him
guys i CHOOSE to believe in this softer version of katsuki!! hope you enjoyed and feel free to request more w/ any character or request to be mutuals!
You woke up in the world of TWD, and you fought so hard to not change the plot of the show, to not get too closeβ afraid that you'll end up with more losses than not. However, the more time you spend with them, interact with them, laugh and smile with them.. You realize that you're slowly getting attached to every single one of them.
Still, you try not to socialize much, because you don't want to get hurt when a character dies. But.. People is real stubborn.

The story will be updated every other day, but a new chapter may come twice a day depending on how the day goes so far. Just keep an eye out. :D
Take note that the story will have enough divergence to still be canon compliant, and unfortunately, this may have an x reader tag on it, but the story isn't that focused on romance. There are no definite endgame for the reader yet, but I'm broadening the possibilities on whom you will end up with.
