113. Forever Among the Stars

When his body was old and creaky, Katsuki relied on a cane to get around. His time as a hero was fulfilling and eye opening. He taught the next generation of heroes even stronger than his generation.

He got to brag about the fact that he defeated a god. Technology was far advanced enough to colonize Mars. And of course, wars broke out. But all in all, it was a fulfilling life.

Katsuki waved down a cab, entering the old fashioned taxi. He sighed when he leaned back against the chair, the soft material soothing his forever aching body.

"Where to?" The taxi driver had jeweled eyes, still seeming young and bright.

Katsuki gave the directions to his home, crossing his legs. He was older now but he still had his agility and the body of when he was young. Keeping his body healthy at a young age did wonders to him now.

"You know," the taxi driver started with a smile, "I used to be in love with this girl."

Katsuki rolled his eyes. "Does it look like I give a damn?"

"No, not really. But this girl was amazing. She looked like a goddess." The taxi driver adjusted his hat as he drove the deserted roads. "But she was in love with someone else."

"That's good because you look like a bitch." Katsuki huffed, glaring out the window. He didn't want to have this conversation right now.

"So I gave her up." The taxi driver was fiddling with something up front. "And became her servant instead."

"Hah?" Katsuki let out a huff of disbelief before lurching when the car started to fly. "Hey, what the hell?!"

"Don't mind me, just following orders." The taxi driver whistled, as if he had done this multiple times.

"What the hell?" Katsuki squinted at the taxi driver, finally recognizing him. "You're the fucking creep that tried to steal my woman!"

"Ah, yes. That's me." The taxi driver grinned, the car speeding up. "Hang on tightly. And if you feel something popping inside you, it's probably best to look in a mirror."

Katsuki indeed felt something popping. Popping over his bones and face. He looked at his reflection in the window. A younger Katsuki looked back at him. He touched his face, his eyes wide.

"What the hell is happening? Am I dreaming?"

The taxi driver shook his head, "don't worry. Everyone goes through that phase."

"The fuck are you talking about?" Katsuki got no response. He looked back out the window and his breathing stopped. His memories were flying by.

When he was a child and playing with Izuku and you. Teenagers, trying to uphold new responsibilities. Dating you. Comforting you. The world became red. Katsuki spent an agonizing amount of time waiting for you. And then he had to wait again. He became a hero. He saved people. He lost people. Izuku got married. They had kids. Katsuki grew older until he was forced to resign.

The memories faded and stars surrounded him. The taxi driver wasn't driving anymore. Instead, he opened the door of Katsuki's side.

"Welcome home." The taxi driver said with a wink, allowing Katsuki to step out. The stars were all around him. Beneath him, beside him, above him. "Give me a five star rating!"

The taxi driver got back in the car.

"She doesn't like it when I'm not polite." The taxi driver ignored the protests from Katsuki, leaving him among the stars. Katsuki looked around before beginning to walk.

"I'm crazy. I must be high." Katsuki said as he looked around.

"You're not high." Spoke a voice from behind him and he recognized it immediately. He turned around but found no one. "You're not crazy either."

He turned back around to search for the voice.

"I'm here, Katsuki." A figure hugged him from behind. "Welcome home."

Katsuki turned around to see your godly figure, your daughter standing beside you. As if a day hadn't passed by. He immediately engulfed you into a kiss.

"Hey, have you heard of the legend of the two lovers?" A girl sat on a building, talking to a boy. "Story goes that a god brought a human to the sky and they dance among the stars."

"Sounds lame." The boy replied, getting a jab to the ribs by the girl.

"I'm serious! It's romantic, isn't it?" The girl smiled, turning to look at the boy with love.

The boy huffed and looked away. "As if. If I were that human, I would've slapped the god."

The girl returned the huff. "Yeah, well he didn't. They say if you see three comets go by together, it's a sign of their love."

"Yeah, yeah. You're really into fairytales." The boy replied, stretching his arms into the air.

The girl got annoyed and got up. "Fine. I'll go talk to someone that will enjoy my presence."

The boy rolled his eyes, watching her leave before watching the night sky. What a lame legend. Love like that doesn't exist.

He was starting to doze off when he saw a burst of light. He jolted awake, his eyes shining as he saw three comets go by. He was in awe, the blue streaks seemed like they were chasing after each other.

"I wish she loves me." The boy whispered under his breath before the comets disappeared. He smiled, getting up to return to his life.

Unaware that his wish was already true.
