BakuDeku//DekuBaku canon divergence//continuation of canon
After their fight on Ground Beta, they started growing feelings. Or more like Katsuki started to fall deep in love with Izuku while Izuku thought everything Katsuki was doing was out of friendship.
In their second year, after the war, Izuku learned through Mina that Katsuki liked him (she was saying smth about how he shouldn’t be playing w/ people’s feelings and that got Izuku confused bc he hasn’t done anything like that, or at least in his opinion)
After discovering Katsuki liked him, and the confusing confrontation from Mina about leading the blonde on (she dom it out of love, but now Izuku is awkward with Mina), Izuku distanced himself from his childhood friend for the span of two months before the finally reconnected.
Then Ochako and Izuku got together in their third year, and Katsuki stayed single (or got together w/ someone.. up to interpretation on how this fic idea is viewed)
Now graduated, Izuku and Katsuki have sadly grown apart, and Ochako and Izuku had a terrible falling out… it was bad (I don’t wanna project on my Ochako, so well js leave it at them having a messy break up).
And Izuku and Katsuki drifted bc they got into an argument, Katsuki said some stuff that hurt Izuku, and it officially broke their connection that had been withering away for a while.
Months after graduation, Katsuki followed Izuku on Insta (or some creative hero social media app) and they started talking again.
Apologies happened and everything… now they’re good.
Except, Izuku had been falling for Katsuki.
Since Geound Beta, but he didn’t officially call it that because he was just happy to be friends with Kacchan again.
Almost a year since they first started talking again, they… flirted over text. And after? Izuku lays on his bed, surrounded by textbooks and his computers opened up in a late essay assignment that he should’ve done last week, but he had been secretly moving to America.
What will happen?
(they would both be around 19-20 when the fic officially pics up pace tbh)
