Even after a few weeks and the atmosphere in the studio changing between him and Katsuki, Izuku still couldn't quite grasp the reality that he was in now.

He and Katsuki were in a relationship.

How is that even possible!?

He, a complete nobody. (That's how he sees himself, at least.)

And the one and only, Katsuki Bakugo, Japan's superstar, most eligible bachelor, and this year's sexiest man alive. THAT Katsuki Bakugo.

They were in a relationship! A romantic one! With hand holding and kissing that made Izuku feel like he was going to melt into the floor each time it happened.

Although he was losing his mind over the matter, no one else seemed to bat an eye over their relationship. Not that no one cared, of course, the band congratulated them and would constantly tease Katsuki every chance they got, Aizawa was happy but reminded them to keep things professional at work, and Ochaco was fairly calm about it, at least until Izuku could clearly hear her screaming in the background when she said she had to quick run to the bathroom.

But other than that, everything was normal. But how!? This was clearly not normal! Izuku tried to keep his cool as much as possible but he had never been in a relationship before, and having his first relationship with a superstar was definitely an unexpected twist of fate.

Despite his 'amazing' acting, Katsuki could see right through Izuku, he always could. He knew he still wasn't used to all of the typical relationship changes that one would go through when transitioning from being friends to boyfriends, but he figured the only way to get Izuku used to it was to shower him with nothing but his unconditional love until he was used to it. Besides, seeing him almost faint every time they held hands or when he pecked his cheek was fucking adorable.

There was just one thing about their relationship they had to come to terms with and come to an agreement on, though they both had varying opinions on it, though Katsuki kept his full truth to himself.

"I think it would be best if you kept our relationship a secret from the public." Izuku smiled as though what he said wasn't a big deal.

"Why's that?"

"W-Well, I'm sure your fans wouldn't be happy that you're off the market now... E-Especially since you decide to date someone who... Isn't necessarily seen as 'attractive' in terms of the social norms..." Izuku rubbed the back of his head, knowing Katsuki wouldn't like him saying that but it was the truth, at least to him.

"Who the fuck told you that!? You're the most attractive person on the planet and I'll kill anyone and everyone who disagrees! And I don't care what my fans think! I'm taken!" Katsuki huffed.

"I understand... But, well... I still don't think I'm ready to reveal myself to the public either. Do you remember how my contract says I want my fave hidden? I'm just not comfortable with putting myself out there. I love you, Kacchan, I really do but... I don't know if having my reveal to the public as your boyfriend is a good idea. It would gain negative attraction to both me and you."

Katsuki pouted at the thought, not fully agreeing with the statement but understanding where Izuku was coming from, thinking long and hard about their options, "Well, I'm not going to force you to do something you're uncomfortable with. It does suck that I can't tell the world that I found my one and only though. One day, I want to show you off to the world so everyone can see how fucking lucky I got, but I know you're not ready for that. My fans can be fucking insane so... I get the fear of showing yourself to them but, believe me when I say that I know for a fact that they will love you just as much as I do." Katsuki grabbed Izuku's hand, placing a soft kiss on it, which caused Izuku to turn completely red.
