"Deaf? Are you really going deaf Kacchan?" Izuku asked.
He looked towards Katsuki and saw that he was making the same gesture as on the train, hand open in invitation.
Izuku quickly grabbed his hand and leaned into Katsuki's arm slightly.
"I'm not deaf yet, Deku. Don't get your hopes up." Katsuki mumbled. He found himself doing that a lot around Izuku recently.
"How?"
"Explosions make noise, fucktard."
"Oh. Why won't you wear them?"
"Wear what?"
"Your hearing aids."
"I am right now."
"That's true. Do you want to go to the park?"
Katsuki nodded as they turned down the street that lead them to they playground.
They sat on a dimly lit park bench. They were still holding hands, even though no one was around.
Izuku let go of Katsuki's hand for a moment to shrug off his sweater. He saw Katsuki staring at the arm brace wrapped around his right arm.
"How long?" Katsuki spoke first this time.
"How long what?"
"Have you not been able to move it?"
"The sports festival."
"Oh."
"I'm sorry."
"What the fuck are you apologizing for?"
"The way they treated you at the sports festival."
"It's fine."
"No it isn't."
"Maybe you should mind your own damn business"
"Why did you tell me to stay away?"
"When?"
"At training camp."
"If I hadn't, you would have been captured too."
"Oh. Were you scared?"
"Not really."
"That's a lie."
"So what if it is?"
"Do you wanna talk about it?"
"No."
"Oh."
"I have nightmares about it."
"About what?"
"What could have happened to you all. Everyone who went to try and rescue me."
"It's okay to be scared for yourself."
"I'm not a fucking pansy."
"I know."
"You better, stupid Deku."
"I liked it better when you called me Izuku."
"Then maybe you should start calling me Katsuki."
"Fine. Katsuki?"
"What is it now?"
"If it was me who reached out for you, not Kirishima, would you have grabbed my hand?"
"No."
"Oh."
"I don't fucking deserve to be saved by you."
"What?"
"I've only ever treated you like shit. I don't deserve to be on this park bench with you. I don't deserve to hold your hand."
"Was that an apology?"
"The closest thing you will ever fucking get to one."
"Katsuki?"
"Izuku."
"I want to kiss you."
"Go ahead."
