Third POV

"Deku..?"

Katsuki stood on the hard ground of the track, his jaw dropped and eyes brimming with tears. 

This motherfucker. 

Katsuki couldn't believe it. He stared at the person in front of him with disbelief, not believing who he was seeing. 

"Y-you...?" Katsuki stuttered as he spoke, his feet starting to move towards Izuku without him even realizing it. "It's you- y-you're you..." 

"Yeah, it's me.." 

Katsuki couldn't stop himself. He flung himself on the racer in front of him, catching him off guard, but only for a second before Katsuki felt strong arms wrap themselves around his waist, holding onto him tightly. 

"Ho-holy fuck! Deku?!" Katsuki held onto Izuku's neck tightly, his face still showing his pure shock as it rested tightly against the side of Izuku's head.

"Yeah- Kacchan.. it's me.."  Izuku closed his eyes tightly, a large smile on his face while he continued holding onto the blonde who hugged him closely. He didn't care about his helmet that was now laying on the ground, most likely with multiple scratches, because it was worth him being able to catch the blonde in his arms who had flung himself at him.  

Izuku tightened his hold on Katsuki, his eyes opening slowly as he held his smile. He missed the blonde more than he thought possible.. he couldn't believe he was actually holding him, just the thought kept making butterflies erupt in his stomach. 

Four fucking years since they have seen each other. A long ass time for the two. 

Izuku was ready to stay holding Katsuki forever, but at the same time he knew that the longer he held him, the more people would notice and stare, and he couldn't have that happen; he still couldn't let others know who he is or what he looks like. 

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Izuku began to reluctantly let go, his tight hold on Katsuki loosening. He felt Katsuki begin to follow suit and part of him was disappointed, he wanted the blonde to hold on longer, but once he was able to see Katsuki's face again, specifically his eyes, Izuku decided it was okay.  

"Fuck, I missed you.."

Izuku chuckled at Katsuki's statement, a grin on his lips as he watched him examine him up and down. 

Katsuki couldn't believe what he was seeing. He hasn't seen Izuku in fucking years -- not since they were both 19.. 

He examined Izuku closely, trying to find out everything that was new.. and there was a lot. He had definitely grown in height, now being nearly as tall as Katsuki, maybe shorter by an inch or even less than that. His jawline was way more sharp than it was and his damned freckles weren't just made up of four on each side, those were still without a doubt the most dominant, but many more smaller ones that were slightly faded lined his cheekbones and a small portion of his forehead. 

Shit -- Katsuki didn't think it was possible for Izuku to become hotter, but that was before he saw his new hairdo. The green mess of hair was still long and wild, and still had strands that hung in front of Izuku's eyes, something that caused Katsuki to have to fight every fiber of his being to not reach out and brush back, but now Izuku had some what of an undercut at the back of his head, only an inch or so above the base of his neckline. 

"I see you haven't changed much, Katsuki..." 

Katsuki broke away from examining Izuku and paused at his voice, not understanding the feeling that Izuku saying his name gave him.
