BAKUDEKU ONE SHOTS

The Moon is Beautiful isn't? (1)

Five year old Katsuki and Izuku is reading a book, a romance novel. It is more like, Katsuki is reading it for Izuku. Izuku is good at reading but Katsuki decided that he will read it for his bestfriend.

"The moon is beautiful, isn't?" Katsuki read that one line from the main character of the story.

"What does it mean, Kacchan?" Izuku asked basically feeling curious.

"I don't know. Maybe the guy is just asking if the girl finds the moon beautiful?" Katsuki answered and Izuku nodded.

"But to me, the moon will always be beautiful." Izuku said and smiled brightly. That smiled arises an unknown feeling on Katsuki's chest and the blonde boy flushed red.

"Kacchan, your face is red. Are you having a fever?" Izuku asked.

"I-I'm fine! Don't mind me." Katsuki yelled and Izuku just backed away.

Ten years have passed since that day and finally, Katsuki was able to find out what that words mean. He is searching on the internet that day for their activity when he stumbled upon a sentence and the words he had read before appeared. He then remembered the time he and Izuku were in good terms.

Well, everything was fine until he got his quirk and he became a brat. He shake his head. He remembered Kirishima and Mina telling him to just apologize to Izuku but he can't do it. Maybe his pride or he is just scared. Who knows?

He looked at the sentence once again.

"The moon is beautiful, isn't?" He mumbled. Unknowingly, he started typing the words on the search bar and as soon as he clicked the ENTER button, the results came up.

He stared at what he is reading for like two minutes before finally realizing it.

"Poetic way of saying "I love you." So this is how others say I love you to someone?" He said and he started thinking about Izuku. He then shake his head. Is he even allowed to say that he loves Izuku after all those years? Is he even deserving of Izuku's love and affection if there is any reserve for him?

How can he ask for more than what they have right now when he is the one who's at fault why they drifted apart? He is such a jerk. An asshole. He didn't even deserve his forgiveness but he was forgiven anyways. Why is Izuku so kind?

It's nightime now and it's already past his bed time but he can't sleep so he is now on the rooftop of their dorm building reflecting about himself. If he confess to Izuku, would it be reciprocated? He won't be able to take it if he will be rejected. Especially by Izuku. Oh well, if ever Izuku rejected him, he deserves it anyways. He sighs one more time before he heard the door opened and when he was on a fighting stance, he saw Izuku's face and he felt like his breath is being take away.

Izuku's face is illuminated by the moonlight and it gives him some kind of glow. His curls sway with the wind, he looks ethereal, Katsuki decided. He wasn't able to say anything even when Izuku got a confused look on his face because Katsuki seems to be frozen in time. When they are like 5 steps away from each other, Izuku decided to speak.

"Kacchan?" He tried taking the boy's attention. Katsuki then snapped out of his daydreaming, well, it is night but still. He looks at Izuku and then look away.

"What are you doing here damn Deku?" He said in an aggressive way. Izuku just smiled.

"I should be asking you that Kacchan. I always stay here at this time of the night. I will stay here for an hour or a half then go back to my room. What are you doing here Kacchan?" Izuku asked. Katsuki then rolled his eyes before answering.

"Do I need to tell you the reason why I am here?" He snaps. He wants to punch himself on the face. Would it actually kill him to atleast say something nice to someone he actually adores? Why is it so difficult? Katsuki is just seconds away from pulling all his hair.

"Well, if I don't have the right to know your reason then, I am not oblige to answer your question right?" Izuku retorted with a smile. Katsuki can't help but smirk. It is almost a sweet smile but he was able to caught himself.

"You are being sassy now huh? Nerd?" Katsuki said then sits on the edge of the rooftop. Izuku then sit beside him. They are not sitting far away from each other but not close enough. Izuku can't risk it. Katsuki might kick him out if he is to touch him. Izuku can feel the night reeze and it gives him peacefulness. With Katsuki sitting beside him, he felt certainly happy.

Katsuki is just staring at Izuku's face. He can't take his eyes away from him. Izuku, who's more focus on staring at the moon and the stars, didn't feel Katsuki's intense gaze towards him. Katsuki notice Izuku's gaze towards the sky and when he followed it, his eyes landed on the beautiful moon. He then remember that sentence. Without knowing it himself, he unconsciously mumbled it.

"The moon is beautiful isn't?" He said and Izuku looks back at Katsuki then smiled, "Yeah! It's beautiful!" He said and Katsuki once again, felt his heart skips a beat.

The next morning, Katsuki can't help it and keeps on staring at Izuku all the time. Unlike last night, Izuku is now well aware of his gaze. It makes him conscious about his appearance.

Why is Kacchan looking at him? What does he wants? Is there something he needs to say? Did he knows what those question actually means? The question he asked him last night regarding the moon, does he know what it actually means? Because Izuku knows. He is reading a lot of comics with different genres and also novels. He happen to come across that question and when he search for it, he found out.

Lunch time and it happened that Izuku decided to eat by himself, in he rooftop and he is surprise when he saw Katsuki already eating his lunch alone.

They talk for a moment then when Katsuki is about to leave, he stops and look back to Izuku.

"Last night, that question, if you know what it means, just you know that I mean it." He said then leave hurriedly. Izuku was dumbfounded. Is that a confession? A love confession? Well, it's a Katsuki way of doing things. Izuku smiled brightly afterwards.

For the whole day, Izuku can't hide how happy he is and even Katsuki notice it. He then concluded thay Izuku might know the meaning and he is happy that he meant it. But he can't be so sure. He will just talk to him later. That plan didn't work out because Aizawa decided to give them a group activity and they did thay for the whole night and fell asleep right away because of too much tiredness.

The next day, it was the same but when night time comes, Katsuki is now sitting on the edge of the rooftop once again and for some reason, the moon is there shining so brightly once again.

He smiled bitterly. He didn't even got a chance to confirm something with Izuku. Ten minutes had passed when the dorr suddenly opened and just like what happened that night, Katsuki was mesmerize. He was frozen for a while again before Izuku speak.

"Hey Kacchan, the moon is beautiful isn't?" Izuku ask with a smile. His cheeks got a hint of pinkish blush on it. It only added to his charisma. Katsuki was speechless for a second and when he snapped out of it, he smiled then pulled Izuku for a hug.

"Yeah, it is." He answered and hug Izuku tighter.

Hello! A one-shot! It's been so long since I planned on writing a one-shot but got no time. Here's the first story! Hope you like it.

Actually, that question, I read that in a romance novel before(I can't remember the title). The boy asked the girl the same question and when I search for it, I found out what it means.

Okay, that's it! Enjoy!
