chapter 07 : praise

izuku had awoken earlier than katsuki, like always.

he could feel the warm body pressed against his, his fingers absently running over the faint, thinly clothed ridges of katsuki's rib cage, sending what felt like electrical sparks from his finger tips all the way down his body.

many mornings had passed and went like this. it was silent, it always was silent when katsuki was asleep. though, he could hear the faint sounds of katsuki's breaths as he slept. as the blond exhaled, izuku could feel the warm air ghosting over his skin like feathers.

katsuki only brought himself closer to izuku, murmuring something about wanting to stay close before relaxing in izuku's arms, their legs intertwined.

it'd been many days, for izuku time went faster with katsuki near. he never felt alone, a moment never was dull with such a chaotic blond. katsuki was hotheaded, sometimes loud and quite stubborn. though izuku liked it, he liked katsuki's near-explosive personality in his wake.

but by the time katsuki's head rested on a pillow, he was calm, soft in front of izuku. it almost seemed like a sign of vulnerability that only izuku would see.

katsuki soon inhaled deeply as his eyes suddenly cracked open. he was now awake as izuku's movements halted. the blond had a far off look before those crimson eyes met izuku's wide viridian gaze.

suddenly, a deep scowl sunk into katsuki's lips as he realized what position he was in.

"um.. good morning?" izuku spoke sheepishly, a small giggle escaping his lips.

"move away!" katsuki yelled, wriggling far from izuku, his face warm. izuku sucked in an offended gasp, "i can't! you moved in closer to me!" he explained frantically.

"okay?! i can't control it because i'm asleep, duh!" katsuki shouted, gripping a pillow, ready to launch it at izuku's dumb face. "like i said before, if it happens again, push me away!"

izuku sighed, sitting up, "like i said, i wouldn't do that. that's rude." he explained. "of course you would think it's rude. you're such a pervert that you probably like it!" the blond hissed.

the taller of the two rolled his eyes. yes, izuku did like it. though, not for the reasons katsuki thought.

izuku liked it because he liked katsuki. he enjoyed the warmth, the undeniable vulnerability that katsuki expressed in his sleep. it was a vulnerability that only izuku saw.

"anyway, it's about time your bandages come off, right?" izuku asked, shaking his previous thoughts away. katsuki scoffed, it was obvious that izuku was changing the subject. though, he was right. katsuki's injuries were now healed, he didn't need the bandages anymore.

"yes. what? are you going to do that for me?" katsuki questioned jokingly with a snort. "if you allow me to, yes." izuku responded, his tone much more serious than katsuki's.

katsuki's expression, which once was a grin, then shifted to a more wobbly one, his face brightening to a soft shade of pink at the offer.

izuku then sat in front of the blond, pulling the blankets away from them both. katsuki inhaled sharply, "i didn't say yes!" he shouted.

"but you didn't say no." izuku responded plainly. katsuki then clicked his teeth, "make it quick, don't be weird about it."

with a hum, izuku lifted one of katsuki's legs onto his lap, simply removing the bandage, his hands moving slowly and carefully as he cared for katsuki.

though, once he switched, he quickly glanced at the blond who'd been staring at him the entire time. their eyes immediately met before izuku flicked his gaze away, his fingers hooking around the first layer of the bandages around katsuki's foot, earning a subtle flinch from the blond. izuku could suddenly feel his heart pounding in his ears and his face felt warm. though, he continued, his hand sliding upward, higher up the blond's calf as he removed more.

every time his fingers would brush katsuki's skin, he would flinch, yet never pulling away from izuku. soon, the bandages were off, yet izuku's hand still traced the sole of katsuki's foot, making the blond flinch, pulling away the slightest bit.

"hurts?" izuku breathed, his eyebrow quirking with curiously. katsuki shook his head, "no it just.. tickles." he responded.

izuku hummed, gazing up into katsuki's eyes, "are you sure it just.. tickles?" he questioned, his hands ghosting up katsuki's legs, sending soft chills up the blond's spine.

katsuki shook his head yet never pushed izuku away, only falling back onto the bed, his breaths growing heavier with each second that passed.

"just how ticklish are you, katsuki?" izuku asked, leaning down to the blond's leg. his skin was smooth, hairless. katsuki always took great care of himself, kept every part clean and neat.

this was another part of katsuki that izuku admired. the blond never stopped until every part was perfect, every part of katsuki was pretty as a result. izuku couldn't resist for long.

the green haired man's lips softly kissed katsuki's skin. the action was so sudden, earning a gasp from katsuki who still never pulled away.

katsuki didn't know why, but he couldn't pull away from izuku. the way he held katsuki in his hands seemed to have possessed the blond, his chest rising and falling rapidly. his heart was pounding as izuku's actions alone felt as if he were praising katsuki's body. not a word was spoken as izuku touched katsuki yet his heart felt so full of gentle praise.

truly, katsuki was starved. starved of both love and touch. he had never experienced either at home. though, here izuku came, seemingly out of nowhere, giving him everything he both wanted and needed.

izuku's hands moved further, higher until he was at katsuki's thighs, earning a soft sigh from katsuki. izuku's heart nearly leaped out of his chest at this. katsuki liked this, liked what he was doing.

suddenly, izuku's hands moved from katsuki's thighs, cupping the blond's face. "may.. i?" he asked softly. katsuki only nodded, his pupils slightly expanded with deep desire.

izuku hummed, pulling katsuki in as their lips met, it was light, only a tap until they heard a knock at the door.

"good morning sir!" they both heard a bubbly voice sing. katsuki gasped sharply, suddenly kicking izuku away. "ouch-"

"it's open!" katsuki called, the door immediately opened, revealing the familiar auburn-haired girl.

ochako then stared at the two blankly, her eyes wide at the sight in front of her.

izuku was curled over the edge of the bed, clutching his stomach tightly and he groaned in pain, mumbling inaudible curses as he did so. his face was still a soft shade of pink yet it was nothing compared to the very beet-red katsuki who was now sitting up on the bed, his eyes wide with just as much shock as her.

"um," ochako coughed, a wobbly smile creeping into her face as she spoke. it was obvious that she was on the verge of laughing.

"is this exactly a good.. morning?"
