The month went by too quickly. Everyday Izuku woke up on the brink of tears; and everyday Katsuki tried his best to make the pain go away. But he couldn't, because that final day came much too soon and it was sadly the day Izuku was going to move.

Izuku didn't even say goodbye to Katsuki. The freckled boy hated goodbyes and he didn't want to see his face when he left. He didn't want his dad to see the way they looked at each other like they were in love. He didn't want his dad to put two and two together.

So he said goodbye to Uraraka and Iida instead. He hugged them tight and cried. They were the first good friends he'd made in years and he didn't want to go.

Uraraka patted Izuku's back carefully speaking, "Izuku, it's okay! We have each other's numbers and we'll text and call whenever. We even have that special messenger app." Izuku sniffled. They had found an app that didn't cost insane amounts of money to call or text in case he did end up going to America. He had all his friends numbers in there, even if they weren't nearly that close. He had Kirishima's, Uraraka's, Iida's, Todoroki's, Kaminari's, Katsuki's, and plenty of others in the app. He would keep in contact with them. It would be fine. He could do this.

He couldn't do this. He had cried the entire flight to America. Of course they were going to America. Of course they were going so far away from Japan, from his boyfriend, from his friends. So of course he cried. He cried quietly but he cried hard.

Practically a day later, the plane landed. Izuku got off, rubbing away the tears in his eyes. Luckily it took his dad a bit longer to get off so he told Inko he was going to the bathroom.

His reflection was grim. He was pale and the skin around his eyes was a stark red. He hated that he was such and obvious, gross crier. When he was little he had envied the movie stars who could cry without it being noticeable (now he knew it was all fake, everyone cried a little bit grossly).

Izuku splashed water into his face until he felt a little bit better; a little less broken. He dried his face, took a deep breath, and went back out. His dad was there and, of course, scolded him.

"How dare you leave without telling me!" Izuku tried to interrupt with, "I told mom," and "You weren't off the plane," but his father only raised his voice. Izuku didn't like the scene that they were causing. So, he bowed his head and endured the lecture.

Once the Midoriya's reached their new home in California, Izuku ran to what was supposed to be his new room and called Katsuki.

He cried again on the call.

"I miss you s-so much, Kacchan.."

"Shh..shh... I know, I miss you too, Nerd." Izuku hated long distance. Katsuki hated it more (mainly because his nerd was so sad).

~

A week had passed since the move. Izuku was going back to school, again as the new kid. Izuku cried everyday. Katsuki messaged him anytime he could, even during classes. Aizawa scolded him once. He was soft for his students though, and knew the situation, so he acted like he didn't see the phone out during lessons.

Izuku didn't dare make new friends. Well, that's not true. At first, Izuku tried but he was teased for his freckles and green hair. It wasn't a friendly school. That night he called Katsuki and asked if he liked Izuku's freckles with insecurity.

Katsuki talked about his face, eyes, hair, and body until he slept. Katsuki hated to hear his nerd was being bullied. If he was there he would teach them all a lesson and Izuku knew that.

But Katsuki wasn't there. He was across the world and Izuku was alone.

The next week the bullies started hitting.
