"And I don't expect anything to change between us"-- Excuse me??? Like sit the hell down LMAO
As if Katsuki isn't the one out of the two who involves himself with the other.
Who was looking at Izuku when everyone else in the country was looking at All Might? Who mentioned Izuku's mysterious quirk after months of not talking about it?
Who called the fight at ground beta? FULLY KNOWING that that fight would change things.
Who started joining Deku's and All Might's meetings without being invited??? "Oh Kacchan, what a surprise that you're here--" NOT TO ME, I COULD SEE IT A MILE AWAY
IT IS SO FUNNY!
That all Bakugo wants is to be closer to Izuku. That despite Izuku proclaiming his admiration for Katsuki, Katsuki is the one take all the steps towards the other.
Because he admires Izuku too. He wants to be close to Izuku too. And of course, it isn't always so clear because Katsuki sticks to his old habits of yelling at or being frustrated by Izuku.
I once wrote Katsuki's feelings towards Izuku as him wanting to be a witness to Izuku's existence.
Katsuki wants to exist with Izuku.
Wants to exist alongside him in all meanings of the word.
