(I forgot to mention! This is a no quirk AU, meaning no special abilities, above this caption is a picture of how I was wanting Izuku to look as he grew older. The ages specified are 20-30, Izuku, in this case, is younger than Katsuki, Katsuki being born earlier than our protagonist. I was wanting to range around the age of 24 or 27. But since they are in college, specifically their second year, I'm going to range their ages to be around 24-25. Thank you for understanding! Enjoy the story!)
Izuku sighed tiredly, maybe this wasn't a good idea. He scratched the back of his head as a yawn made its way past his chapped lips. He'd grown taller since his high school days, even taller than his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugou(P.S-also his secret crush, but he doesn't need to know that). Izuku shifted his back up higher on his aching back. It was around 3:40 pm, classes were about over but he only had another two-hour class until he could head back home. If you called a small apartment a home...
I will admit, Izuku is not in a good living situation, his college supplies practically drained him of all of his account savings. He's barely making it by with the tutoring and part-time cafe job he has now. His legs carried him further down the campus until he was in front of his class. He yearned to go home. But the thought of working the night shift plus tutoring some thirsty high school girl really wasn't helping him.
"Oi." Izuku looked up abruptly, his expression went into a blissful one, "Kacchan!" Izuku wrapped his arms around the poor man, "What the hell---?!"
"Please Kacchan! Move-in with me!"
There was silence.
An utter deafening silence.
You could probably hear a pin drop from across the classroom. Katsuki looked at the green-haired man, who was practically suffocating him, his expression unreadable.
"Hah?"
------
"So you're telling me that you're so poor that you can barely afford to get one single apple from the grocery store?" Katsuki spoke, his voice felt a soft yet deadly undertone that made Izuku shiver. The green-haired man nodded even though Katsuki was being over-dramatic, a frown replacing his once bright smile.
"I'm sorry, Kacchan, I probably surprised you back in the classroom." Izuku scratched the back of his head, his hand resting on his forehead as he leaned on the table. The two college students had made a pit stop at a local coffee shop on the school's campus(because we all know that college students live off of coffee). Katsuki sighed, "Why didn't you just stay in one of the dorms?" his ruby eyes bore into Izuku's fleeting green ones. Izuku's expression quickly shifted into one of discomfort.
"I would be assigned a roommate who would probably have sex with random girls or guys 24/7." Izuku's blunt reply made Katsuki snort.
"You really are a nerd." Katsuki spat with a grin, his tongue sticking out at the man in front of him as Izuku gasped, looking offended. Izuku was exhausted, if Katsuki wouldn't room with him, he would be forced to get yet another job. If his other jobs didn't already cause him enough problems, this one would now.
Katsuki frowned, already knowing the look that Izuku was giving him.
"How many jobs do you have, nerd." It was more of a demand than a simple question.
Izuku sighed, "two," he stretched, "I was thinking of getting another one." he felt his muscles ache in protest as he got up from his seat. "Sorry, Kacchan, I would love to talk more but I have to get going so I'm not late for my Tutoring session." Izuku smiled sweetly. He placed a ten-dollar bill on the table and walked away after grabbing his things. Katsuki eyed the money that was placed in front of him on the table. His eyes narrowing.
"Damn Deku, you're making me feel bad." Katsuki grumbled. Katsuki sighed as he got up, grabbing the money and replacing it with his own as he made his way to Izuku's apartment.
===============
Izuku felt his mood worsen by the time passed. The student who he had to tutor was basically naked. He glared at the girl and it seemed to only fuel her so-called determination to get into his pants. He stood up and the younger girl whined in protest.
"Wait! Where are you going?" the girl called out to him but he only picked up his things and began to leave.
"You can keep today's pay and any other pay from today on. I'm not going to tutor some horny girl." Izuku's cold words made the young girl flinch and look away, "Listen, kid, " Izuku paused thinking of words to say, "Find some other tutor. But if you wanting to graduate with the rest of your friends, then I suggest losing the act." It seemed like it worked as the girl fixed her clothes to look more presentable and bowed in apology.
"I'm truly sorry for my behavior, I'll make sure to send you the money double than this week's pay." this made Izuku shocked beyond belief. He bowed back respectively, "sorry for the inconvenience, " and then he made his way out the door.
As Izuku made his way home, he yawned, making his eyes water. He sniffed softly and trudged up the stairs. Thankfully he was only on the fourth floor, it seemed as if the last of his energy was just enough for him to make it inside his apartment. But his energy was quickly fueled again as a delicious smell invaded his senses, he hadn't realized how hungry he truly was. He felt himself drool, without thinking he called out, "I'm home!"
And who came out to greet him was none other than his childhood friend. "Damn bastard, I had to go out and get groceries because of your broke ass." Katsuki scolded lightly. Izuku screamed in confusion.
Was this really happening?
His childhood friend(crush) was in his home cooking for him of all people! Izuku felt like he was going to faint. Katsuki sighed, "don't stand there all day, go wash up and come back to the kitchen." Katsuki was already acting if he owned the place, it made Izuku smile.
The green-haired man nodded and ran off before Katsuki could speak another word. Happy was an understatement, Izuku was ecstatic. Was Katsuki really in his kitchen, making him food?
This was like a dream come true! Izuku could barely keep in his excitement as he rushed back out of the bathroom into the kitchen where Katsuki was filling the medium-sized bowls with white rice. The sweet yet spicy aroma made Izuku want to faint. He never in his life wanted to eat so badly to point of pain.
He tripped over his own feet as he tried to hurry and point on his house shoes which were stationed at his bedroom door. He gasped and grabbed ahold of the counter to catch himself before he fell. Katsuki jumped to catch him and ended up bumping into him in the process.
Izuku groaned as he pulled his face away from the hardwood floor. Katsuki grunted in pain and stood up, grabbing ahold of Izuku's bicep tugging him up from the ground.
Don't think Gay.
Don't think Gay.
Don't think Gay.
"How long have you've been working out?"
Dammit!
Izuku smiled at Katsuki before shrugging, "I think since the last year of Middle school?" Katsuki's eyes widened in surprise. Izuku stretched his arms above his head, "let's eat!" Izuku cheered.
-----------------
"Think about it Kacchan!" Izuku stresses, "Since we are both college students, rent for an apartment can be tough to pay alone, and I know you've been crashing at Kirishima's place for awhile!" Izuku ruffled his hair, his eyebrows knitting together.
"The pay can be split between us and we can take turns doing the chores," Katsuki frowned, the green-haired man in front of him had a good point.
"Fine, only because you're begging me to stay--Ha!" Katsuki crossed his arms with a smug smirk. Izuku felt his cheeks begin to burn and he looked away from the champagne-haired male. Katsuki huffed as he got up to place his now empty bowl in the sink.
"Deku, you're doing dishes tonight. Since you have afternoon classes, I want this place spotless by the time I'm home." Izuku raised his hands up in defense his mouth full of his leftover food.

My editor hates me, I swear it.
I always have new ideas for stories so I end up not finishing some that have been on this account longer than some others.
