---------------------------

Izuku's always been a short, fat kid with weird, messy hair, pudgy cheeks, and freckles. He was different, gross, odd, dumb-looking, and /fat/. He was the odd-one-out of a sea of pretty, thin bodies, muscles, abs, and curves. His body image was awful as he looked in real life. He hated it. But his mother continued to feed him more and more daily, and if he refused a second, third, or fourth portion, she'd burst into tears, weeping about how she only wanted what's best for him.

/Fatso. Loser. Pudgy. Gross. Odd./

He knew she did, but it got harder; kids got meaner as he went into middle school. The teases no longer were just poking his chub, squishing his cheeks, pulling his hair, and mocking him.It was now shoved into lockers, kicked out of his chair, kicked till he couldn't breathe, ripped clothing, blood, passing out. It was /awful./

Till he decided it was no more, at the end of his middle school days. He started working out, going on jogs, runs in the early morning, eating proper portions before his mother was awake, weight lifting, and getting a free trial membership to the gym. He started changing over the summer, losing weight, gaining muscle, and shooting up from his 5'3 height. By the end, as he was going into high school, he was 6'0, ripped, and he had muscles.

People ogled, and girls who taunted him beat him down told him he'd never get anywhere in life looked at him with blushes, stuttering speech, and a shy presence. He ignored them, glaring at them when they tried to touch. Going into his second year, he was dubbed 'The Prince of U.A.' Constant love letters, confessions, male and female, and so much more. It made him sick, honestly. How they chased after him once he changed.

Of course, nobody in middle school tried to learn his name, so the name 'Midoriya Izuku' was only associated with being the prince of U.A. When Nezu suddenly threw an unexpected rally and decided to expose everyone's middle school self, Izuku wanted to scream. Nezu had told everyone to vote to see who goes first, and of course, it had to be /him./ Everyone was squealing, wondering how handsome the prince of U.A looked as a middle schooler.

Nezu showed the pictures, and everyone was shocked. Izuku was screaming into his hands. His previous class was the most shocked. The dude they bullied, beat down, and degraded was the one they lusted after. While Izuku was screaming into his hands, a nerd, who was always in the background, forgotten, blushed, red eyes widening, glasses catching the light.

Katsuki was always forgotten in school; with how soft-spoken he was, it was expected. The only person who acknowledged him was Izuku. They met up after school, usually in libraries, talked, and studied together. Katsuki was the one to tend to Izuku's wounds, treating him with care. Izuku had suddenly disappeared over the summer. It was devastating to Katsuki, having his first friend disappear like that.

He cried himself to sleep far too many times over the summer, dove into studying to bury the longing for his first friend and first crush. They had nicknames for each other, Deku and Kacchan. Katsuki wished he could hear Izuku call him Kacchan again. Suddenly, arms wrapped around his torso, and Katsuki squealed loudly, blushing, whipping around, nose brushing soft green curls, no longer greasy, unmanaged, now luscious and soft. "D-Deku?!"

Katsuki squeaked, face heating up in a blush. "Kacchan..." Izuku grumbled, kissing his neck softly, hiding his face as Katsuki nearly died of a heart attack, face enflamed in a blush. "Shh, lemme stay here," Izuku whispered against his skin, peeking out from Katsuki's neck, green eyes rimmed with gold waves Katsuki never noticed. Katsuki nodded stiffly, turning to look out, clutching his pants. Izuku kissed his neck!

Izuku called him Kacchan! Izuku's hands brushed his own, calming him. Their hands intertwined, just like they used to. When Katsuki got anxious, Izuku would take his hands into his own, rubbing over his knuckles to calm him. It was nostalgic. Katsuki nearly burst into tears, melting into Izuku's chest, watching the screen expose embarrassing photos of school hotties, pimples, acne, braces, glasses, and all.

Two days later, Izuku reclaimed his boyfriend of many years back, kissing away worries and helping Katsuki bloom, just like he did.
