"thank you"

cause this is the last prompt i forced myself to make this fluff so here

-----

Eijirou laid in their shared bed, hair down and soft as Katsuki stroked his hands through it. It was both of their days off, an occurrence that was rare, but they cherished when it happened.

Eijirou yawned, eyes scrunching up as a sharp tooth poked out. He grabbed his pillow and burrowed his head into it, smiling as Katsuki rubbed a thumb over his cheekbone.

"Ei?"

"Mmm?" Eijirou hummed, opening his eyes as he grabbed his lover's warm hand.

"Thank you."

Eijirou's brows furrowed, eyes meeting crimson. "For what?"

Katsuki sighed, adjusting himself so he was at the same level as his boyfriend. He leaned his head on his hand.

"For giving me a chance, back when I was a big... bigger asshole." Katsuki said, a lazy grin on his face. Eijirou laughed as he moved closer to his boyfriend, warm blush on his face. After all these years, they were able to make one another's cheeks erupt in a pink tint.

"I saw that you were less of a jerk than you showed people. You made my lunches and helped me study and... and you were strong, which I admired." Eijirou said, a fond look in his ruby eyes.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah. And you gave me a chance, too. You let me in, I guess?" Eijirou said, smiling as he felt Katsuki's breath against his face.

"I saw that you were stronger than you thought, almost as strong as me."

"Wow, almost as strong as you? That's a pretty big deal." Eijirou had a laugh in his tone as Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, almost. I can still kick your ass." Katsuki said, no anger in his tone as he tucked a loche of crimson hair behind Eijirou's ear.

"Sometimes I beat you, though," Eijirou said, leaning into the blonde's hand.

"Whatever," Katsuki said, poking Eijirou's cheek as the other laughed.

"Hey, when are we gonna get up?" Eijirou said, beginning to lean on his hands to sit himself up, stopping as a warm hand grabbed his wrist.

"M' not gonna get up. I say we just stay here the whole day." Katsuki said, talking into his pillow.

"Yeah, but... food and stuff," Eijirou said, pulling the cover off of broad shoulders. "C'mon, let's go."

Katsuki groaned, but pulled the soft covers off of him nonetheless. He sat on the side of their bed as his boyfriend stood in front of him, holding out his hand.

"Tired?" Eijirou said, laughing as his boyfriend collapsed into his open arms. Katsuki nodded, making blonde hair tickle Eijirou's cheeks.

"Well after breakfast, I say we spend the whole day being lazy, how does that sound?" Katsuki shook his head once more, picking his head up so all his weight wasn't on his boyfriend's chest, but his arms still around the redhead's waist.

"We should go on a date or something, we haven't in a while." Katsuki said, feeling his lover hum against him.

"We should. Where should we go?"

"Fucking... I dunno. There's that one place we found back at UA, remember? We had a picnic or something there." Katsuki said, letting go of the redhead to start walking to their kitchen, hands still intertwined.

"Oh yeah! Remember that squirrel stole my sandwich?" Eijirou said, letting go of their interlaced hands to turn around and reconnect their hands, now walking backward so he could face Katsuki.

"I told you not to feed it, Ei." Katsuki said, relaying the memory. They had been in their second year, and gone on a walk, going on one of their first actual dates. Katsuki had grabbed his hand at one point, and Eijirou had panicked, activated his quirk, and almost cut the blonde's hand off. Which made Eijirou sulk for a while, until he received an affectionate kiss on a warm cheek, and heard Katsuki mumble as he assured him that he didn't get hurt.

They wandered around a while after that, Eijirou going off the path as he saw a butterfly, dragging Katsuki around the whole time. They had stumbled upon a secluded area, surrounded by overgrown flower bushes and soft grass, as well as dandelions littering the ground. There was a perfect view to see the stars and sunset, something that always mesmerized Eijirou.

"Yeah, but it was cute! And I was full, so I didn't mind." Eijirou said, giggling as he walked into their fridge.

"Shit- You okay, idiot?" Katsuki said, holding both sides of his lover's head as he picked his head up. He looked around at different angles as Eijirou just laughed.

"I'm all good! Probably should stop walking backward, though." Eijirou said, giving an earnest smile as Katsuki rolled his eyes and placed a kiss on his lips.

"Yeah, you should."

Eijirou looked ethereal, leaning on the heels of his palms as he laughed, looking over to his lover as the wind blew in his hair. The setting sun glowed against his radiant skin, making him seem all that more beautiful.

"This is nice, Katsuki," Eijirou said, an earnest smile adorned on his features as Katsuki returned the smile.

"Yeah, it is," Katsuki said, falling back against lush grass to get a better view of the glittering stars.

He saw the redhead fall back as well in his peripheral vision, the other laughing as he did so. "The stars are super pretty tonight."

"Yeah," Katsuki said, sighing as he felt the other's body heat connect with his, sides touched together with their heads leaning on their hands.

"And thank you for the food, Katsuki. S' really good. You could've easily been a chef if you weren't gonna be a hero."

"No way in hell could I have been anything other than a hero, idiot."

Eijirou laughed, sighing fondly as he turned his head to face Katsuki's.

"Hey, Kats?"

"Yeah?"

Eijirou turned back up to face the stars, whispering something as if it were secret.

"I love you."

Katsuki immediately sat back up and stared at his lover, eyes wide. "Y-You... What?"

Eijirou wrapped his hands around strong shoulders, smiling as he repeated himself. "I love you."

Katsuki blushed as he used to back in high school, when the aspect of romance was so new to him and strangely not as disgusting as he thought.

"Fuck..." Katsuki said, eagerly pressing his lips against eager ones, both of them moving in a tandem that was so familiar but different.

"You love me?"

Eijirou smiled as he gave a nod. "Yeah."

Katsuki smiled as he wrapped his arms around the redhead's waist, head leaning on his shoulder.

"I love you more."
