----

Autumn’s chill had begun to settle into a crisp embrace, and with it came the changing rhythms of life at UA High. Katsuki had been adjusting to a more balanced routine, and his interactions with Izuku had become a regular part of his days. Their bond had deepened, and the moments they spent together had become increasingly meaningful. However, amid this growing connection, Katsuki was grappling with feelings he was reluctant to fully acknowledge.

One evening, after a particularly intense day of training and studying, Katsuki found himself on the rooftop again, where he often sought solace and clarity. The sky was a deep shade of twilight blue, and the city lights below began to twinkle like stars. He was lost in thought, the weight of his emotions pressing heavily on him.

Izuku joined him shortly after, having noticed Katsuki’s absence from the common room. “Hey, Kacchan,” he greeted softly, taking a seat beside him. “Mind if I join you?”

Katsuki barely glanced in his direction, his gaze fixed on the horizon. “Sure. I guess I could use some company.”

They sat in companionable silence, the cool breeze ruffling their hair. Izuku could sense the tension in Katsuki’s posture and wondered if the day had been particularly challenging. He chose to remain quiet, offering his presence as a comforting anchor.

After a few minutes, Katsuki turned to Izuku, his eyes reflecting a storm of unspoken emotions. “Izuku,” he began, his voice uncharacteristically soft. “I’ve been thinking a lot lately… about us.”

Izuku looked at him, his expression gentle and attentive. “What about us?”

Katsuki took a deep breath, trying to find the right words. “I don’t know how to explain it, but… being around you has made me feel things I didn’t expect. I’ve been struggling with these feelings, and I’m not sure what to do with them.”

Izuku’s heart skipped a beat, sensing the depth of Katsuki’s vulnerability. “It’s okay to have feelings, Kacchan. You don’t have to have all the answers right now. We can figure things out together.”

Katsuki’s eyes locked onto Izuku’s, a mix of determination and uncertainty in his gaze. Without fully understanding why, he leaned in closer, his heart racing. The space between them grew smaller until, in a moment of raw impulse, Katsuki’s lips met Izuku’s.

The kiss was brief but intense, filled with a mixture of longing and confusion. It was as if Katsuki was trying to convey a lifetime of emotions in that one fleeting moment. When their lips finally parted, Katsuki’s eyes widened in shock, and a flood of realization hit him. His heart pounded with panic as he pulled away, his face flushed with a mixture of embarrassment and fear.

“I—I’m sorry,” Katsuki stammered, his voice shaky. “I shouldn’t have done that. I need to— I need to go.”

Before Izuku could respond, Katsuki was already moving, his footsteps echoing in the quiet night as he ran away from the rooftop. The suddenness of his departure left Izuku standing there, stunned and confused.

Izuku stared after him, his mind racing to process what had just happened. He felt a mix of emotions—concern for Katsuki, confusion about the kiss, and a deep sense of empathy for the internal struggle Katsuki was clearly facing.

The rest of the night was a blur for Katsuki. He ran through the empty hallways, his thoughts chaotic as he tried to make sense of what he had just done. He felt a wave of regret and self-loathing wash over him, mixed with a nagging sense of vulnerability he wasn’t ready to confront.

Eventually, he found himself back in his dorm room, pacing anxiously. The silence of the room felt oppressive, and Katsuki struggled to calm the storm within him. He ran a hand through his hair, trying to shake off the intensity of the emotions he had just experienced.

As the night wore on, Katsuki’s mind remained restless. He knew he needed to confront his feelings and figure out what the kiss had meant for both him and Izuku. But for now, he was left with a sense of uncertainty and a lingering worry about how his actions might have affected their relationship.

Meanwhile, Izuku remained on the rooftop, processing the kiss and the sudden departure. He understood that Katsuki was dealing with a lot of complex emotions and that the kiss was likely a manifestation of those feelings. Izuku resolved to give Katsuki the space he needed but also hoped that they could talk things through when Katsuki was ready.

As the first light of dawn began to break through the night, Katsuki found himself seated on the edge of his bed, staring into the darkness. He knew that he needed to face his emotions head-on and find a way to reconcile with the feelings he had been avoiding.

The journey ahead was uncertain, filled with emotional turbulence and the need for honest communication. But as Katsuki prepared himself for whatever came next, he understood that he couldn’t avoid the path he had set in motion. It was time to confront his fears and hopes, and to face the reality of his evolving relationship with Izuku.

The story was far from over, and the path to understanding and acceptance was only beginning. With each step forward, Katsuki and Izuku would have to navigate the complexities of their feelings and the challenges of their journey together.
