Roommates (MHA)

Fourteen- Izuku

Izuku's eyes flickered open. Sunlight shone into the bedroom, and he let out a soft sigh. He was sore. Incredibly sore. But he didn't mind. It was worth it.

He glanced sideways at the blonde sleeping in his arms. He looked so cute and relaxed, curled up the slightest bit. Izuku hadn't been noticing him cutting lately, and he'd actually been eating. The night before, unclothed, Izuku could really tell that his form was filling out a bit better, rather than the skeleton he'd been before. No fresh scars on any of him, either. It was almost like Izuku had been a healing source for him.

A smile crossed the greenette's face, and he played with Katsuki's hair. After a bit, the boy's crimson eyes opened, and he looked up at Izuku. The both of them smiled at the exact same time, except as Katsuki sat up, he let out a small groan.

"Sore too?" Izuku chuckled, and Katsuki's eyes widened a bit. His face flushed with embarrassment, probably from memories of the night before. Izuku pushed himself up, sighing out softly. He was exhausted still, but unfortunately, he was forcing himself to wake up. Yes, it was a Saturday, and they had less classes on Saturday (a chance to sleep in) but he wanted to wake himself up.

Katsuki let out a little whine, tugging on his sleeve. Izuku glanced down at his boyfriend, whose face was flushed with embarrassment.

"I need help standing up..." he mumbled, and Izuku laughed. "Don't laugh at me! You're the one who did this to me!" Katsuki looked utterly embarrassed. Izuku chuckled and grabbed Katsuki's underarms, pulling him up to his feet. Katsuki sighed and instantly flopped into Izuku's arms, as if not wanting to stand up.

"I get that you like your snuggles, baby, but it's time to get up." Izuku set him on his feet, patted his shoulder, and walked over to his closet. He pulled out one of his oversized band shirts and a pair of Katsuki's short black shorts, tossing them back to the blonde. Katsuki had moved all his clothes back into the closet a while back, since he knew Izuku liked to choose his outfits from a mix of their clothing.

The greenette searched through the closet, finally choosing one of Katsuki's black long sleeved shirts (it was much too small for him, but what the hay) and a pair of his own high-waisted jeans. He turned back to see Katsuki already dressed and chuckled. He looked cute, as usual. Izuku walked over to him and lightly kissed his temple, moving down to whisper in his ear.

"Cover your eyes, I have to get changed. I know it's hard to not look, but I need you to, alright babe?" Katsuki sighed defeatedly and turned his back to Izuku, covering his eyes with his hands. Izuku smiled and quickly got changed, then wrapped his arms around his unsuspecting boyfriend. Katsuki jumped a bit, and Izuku squeezed him.

"Suki? You know what?" He leaned down, resting his chin on his shoulder. Katsuki whispered a soft, 'what' from in front of him. "I think I love you."

Katsuki's eyes widened, Izuku could see. They watered, and he looked down at where Izuku's chin was settling on his shoulder.

"D-Do you really?" He whispered.

"Of course." Izuku was about to say something else, but Katsuki flung his arms around him, whipped to face him, and squeezed him tightly. Izuku heard him sniffle, and lightly rubbed his back. He knew Katsuki could be emotional. This was one of those times.

A couple minutes later, he heard a light groan from Eijiro's bed. He glanced up to see the redhead pushing himself into a sitting position. Izuku lightly waved at him with his left hand, the other one rubbing his back ever so gently. Eijiro rubbed his eyes, focusing on the two of them.

"Is he okay?" He asked, pointing towards Katsuki's small form hunched in Izuku's arms. The greenette nodded. Eijiro pulled himself to his feet and walked over, wrapping his arms around Katsuki from the back. Izuku chuckled and kissed Katsuki's head.

Everything worked out, I guess. Katsuki's alright, Eijiro's got someone to depend on... I found love...

Izuku smiled and looked up at Eijiro from where he was leaned over Katsuki's head. The redhead smiled ever so softly at him and Izuku smiled back. Katsuki tilted his head back, looking up at the two boys hugging him close.

"Everything finally seems so perfect," Eijiro murmured. "None of us are fighting, we're all happy... when did this even happen? It's so strange." Izuku laughed. It was kind of strange for everything to be so amazing all at once.

"Well. I'm starving!" Katsuki smiled brightly. "Let's go down to the cafeteria and steal something to eat, yeah?" Eijiro chuckled and pulled back.

"Let me get dressed, then sure. I can't believe we're such criminals," he joked, walking over to their closet. Eijiro did seem much more calm than he had before, now that he had Denki by his side, even if Denki was a bit questionable. At least Eijiro was happy.

The redhead quickly changed in the closet, and came out wearing Izuku's plain white t-shirt, one of Katsuki's plaid throw-overs, and a pair of his own blue shorts. Izuku smiled. Everything was just so perfect.

I know things can't stay like this forever... so I'll enjoy it while it lasts.

He wrapped one arm around Eijiro's shoulders, the other around Katsuki's. The three left the room and began to walk down the hallways towards the cafeteria.

"I love you guys," Eijiro said suddenly. Izuku smiled.

"I love you too," Katsuki replied softly.

"I love you, three," Izuku added.

"Well. Enough of this sappy stuff," Katsuki made a cute disgusted face. "Off to crimes!"

"Sounds gay, I'm in," Eijiro joked.

"Race you there!" Katsuki was already off, sprinting down the hallway. Izuku and Eijiro's laughter rang around the hallway as they bolted after their little roommate.

And everything was truly fine, just for that moment.

Izuku hoped- no, all of them hoped- that it would last for a lifetime.

And maybe it did.

But that's a story for another time.
