Love isn't as easy as making Manga! (BakuDeku)

Chapter 1: Shut up and get your hands moving!

A/N: After rewatching gekkan shoujo nozaki-kun, I suddenly got the urge to write this story. Also, there's no quirks and hero involved so Yuuei is just a normal school.

-o-o-o-

No words has been exchanged for the last 5 hours. The only sounds that can be heard is the sound of pen scribbling across the blank paper aggressively. Sitting across each other with their eyes on the paper, the two teens continue to work without rest. The work as mangaka and a mangaka's assistant is almost endless but this is a job that both of them loves so they don't have any complain about it.

Izuku's always careful when he's doing the inking but one angry shout from Katsuki (A.K.A his childhood friend and the mangaka of this Shounen manga), his pen nearly went out of line from being startle.

"Oi Deku! Are you done with page 22 already?!"

"I-I'm working on it!"

"Hurry up! We still have 5 more pages left damn it!"

And that's the short conversion they had before they drown themselves in their work.

When Izuku and Katsuki is young, they love reading Shounen manga and even vowed that they will become a splendid mangaka and make their own manga together in the future. And well... many things happened and Izuku's now Katsuki's assistant for his fantasy and battle manga.

Another hour gone by and the duo finally place their manga tools down.

"FINALLY DONE!" Katsuki shouted, feeling victorious at overcoming another deadline in time.

"Now all that's left is to send it over to the company..." Izuku let out a sigh of relief and lean back on his chair. He eyed the last page with a fond smile. Izuku's really pleased with how it turned out. They are almost at the end of the arc and the climax is shooting up like a rocket! The last page has a close up shot of the main character's serious expression and a speech bubble that says 'Leave it to me'.

When they first created the protagonist, they had many difficulties with his name as they were unable to decide on one acceptable name. Thanks to Katsuki's naming sense...

After many argument, they finally settle on the name 'Kaito'. Anyone can tell that the main character's appearance and personality is based on Katsuki himself. Those spiky hair and angry expression clearly matches with Katsuki. The only difference is that Kaito has white hair and blue eyes. Kaito worn a simple black shirt, pants and boots. To give him the image of a swordman, they made him wear a brown cloak and carry a heavy sword. He's amazingly popular with many people (especially with the girls) and even Izuku adores him... as well as the model he's based on.

That's right, Izuku has been crushing on Katsuki ever since they are young. When Katsuki asked him to help him out with his manga, he immediately agreed. There's no reason for him to say 'no'. After all, he can make manga with Katsuki and he can get to be together with him inside his room.

All alone without anyone to disturb them.

However, they are always rushing to get the latest chapter done in time and it is really tiring. It's a good thing that their manga is being published in the monthly Shounen Jump. If it's under the weekly Shounen Jump... there's not going to be enough time for them to finish it. They need the time to gather material and ideas for the next arc and new characters. Not to mention that they got school as well...

Izuku sits up straight and look through the pages for any mistake that they could have overlooked. At the same time, he also looking at the new characters that shows up in this chapter.

Katsuki promised Izuku that he'll use him as a model for one of his characters but... so far ever since the series started, he didn't spotted any character that resemble him. Izuku rest his elbow on the table and his chin on his palm. He can't really blame Katsuki for it though. That promise was made when they are only 5 years old so it's not surprising that Katsuki has forgotten about it.

Izuku has thought about asking Katsuki but the only image he can see in his head is the blond yelling 'Do you think I'll use a nerd like you as a model for my characters?!' at his face. Unknowingly, he let out a sigh at the disappointment. Truth to be told, someone as boring as him can never become an inspiration for Katsuki's characters. Even if he did become an inspiration for one of the characters, Izuku has a feeling that Katsuki will kill him off in the next few chapters.

He 'killed' a character that's based on one of their classmates in the previous arc so it's won't be surprising that he'll do the same to Izuku.

-o-o-o-

Katsuki stares at Izuku from across of the table. He reach out for a piece of blank paper beside him and starts to draw one of his characters. While he's drawing, he would take a quick glance at Izuku for a few times before turning his attention back to the paper. When Katsuki finally finish the drawing, he observes the character carefully.

The character he has finished drawing is named Miya, the heroin of his manga. She has a long and wavy pale green hair that was tied up into a ponytail with a yellow ribbon that stands up like a rabbit's ear. She's wearing a green tube top, shoulder cape, short skirt and a black socks that reaches her knee, completed with a pair of red shoes.

And guess what? Katsuki drawn Miya's sitting at the table with the same position and expression as Izuku! Anyone who is smart enough can easily tell who Miya is based on, mostly due to her name and the way she acted. But sadly, her model is as dense as fuck!

For fucking sake! Why must he fall for this stupid broccoli head of all people?! Even with all the obvious hints, Izuku still didn't notice it!!

When Katsuki was creating the heroin, Izuku is also on his mind and before he knew it... Izuku somehow 'turned' into his heroin. Since he cannot bring himself to undo what has been done, he started to drop the hints about Kaito having feelings for Miya as the series goes on. The message between them and the characters should be as clear as hell but it's pointless if Izuku never realized that he's Miya's model!

It would be easier for Katsuki to shout at Izuku in the face that he likes him but his fucking pride refuse to allow it! Since he's unable to put it in words with his mouth, he decide to do it through his own fucking manga! And he has no fucking idea why did it come down to this either!

Izuku noticed that Kaito has a crush on Miya, but he never noticed the crush that Katsuki has for him!!

"Maybe I should have added the freckles and give her the same hair color after all...!" Katsuki growled under his breath.

"Eh? Did you said something Kacchan?" Izuku looked up, staring at Katsuki with those big and innocent eyes.

"I didn't said anything you stupid ass!" he shouted.

Izuku slightly flinched but he quickly recover from it. He held up one of the pages that shows the conversion between Kaito and Miya. "By the way Kacchan, I've been wanting to ask you this question for a while."

"What?" Katsuki asked, rising a brow.

A question? About Kaito and Miya? Is there something wrong with their dialogue on that page? Whatever it is, he's all ear.

"It has been hinted that Kaito has feeling for Miya right?"

Katsuki swear that his heart stopped beating for a few seconds. He can only stares at Izuku with a stunned expression. Could it be that Izuku's finally going to ask him who is Miya based on? If that's the case, this is a chance for him to openly admit that Izuku is Miya's model! It's like a love confessing! But he didn't prepare himself for this yet! Will Izuku reject him? Oh god, he's going to screw this up-

"When is she going to realize his feelings and return it?" Izuku asked.

At that question, Katsuki felt a vein popped and he shouted at the top of his lungs. "FUCK YOU AND YOUR STUPID OBLIVIOUS!!"
