5,000 Miles From You (KiriBakuDeku)

~Time Skip~

"Hey, what's wrong? You've been weirdly quiet this whole time?" Hinata asked Izuku as they sat on their own beds in their dorm.

Izuku seemed to be snapped out of his own thoughts at the sound of his roommate's voice. "Huh? What'd you say?" He asked.

The shorter boy sent him a concerned look. "I asked what's wrong? You've been quieter than I've ever seen you."

Izuku shook his head. "It's nothing." He said, trying to brush it off.

"Oh c'mon, we've been roommates for months, I know you better than that by now." Hinata said, knowing that there was something bothering the green haired boy.

There was a quiet sigh from the other boy as he finally gave in. "It's just... Denki and I have been... fighting a lot recently." He finally admitted.

Hinata nodded in understanding. "That sucks. When Tobio and I fight, we usually just go to Diachi and he's like our relationship counselor or something." He joked.

"Yeah, we don't exactly have a Diachi to go to. The only other friend we have is Mina and she's not the best with relationship couseling, especially since I don't think she even likes our relationship in the first place." Izuku confessed to one of the only friends he had with him at the moment.

Being so far from home definitely did not help his situation. He didn't have anyone besides Hinata to talk to, besides calls with Eijirou and Katsuki, and he felt alone and isolated.

"Well what do you two fight about?" Hinata asked, trying to help his friend out, even if it was just having someone to vent to.

Izuku groaned at the question. "The stupidest stuff! He lives kind of far away, ya know? So we fight about who's going where and when. He doesn't seem to trust me, like at all, which is just ridiculous because seriously, you're like my only friend here. But he get's to do whatever he wants all the time! And then when I ask him to like, you know, come see me once in a while, he complains about the drive and asks if I can just go up there.  I don't have a car, Hinata! I. don't. have. a. car." He huffed, feeling a million times better just having someone to talk to about everything.

Hinata gave him a confused look. "How does he expect you to get there?"

"Hitch hike apparently! Well no, he said I could just take the bus, but why on Earth would I take a two hour long bus ride for a trip he could make in one?" Izuku asked.

"I have no clue." Hinata said, even though he thought it was a little unfair for Izuku to expect Kaminari to be the only one making the trip. Sure, it was more difficult for Izuku, but he should probably be the one to visit once in a while.

"But hey, look on the bright side, Kirishima and Bakugou are coming next week." Hinata reminded him, knowing it would brighten up his mood.

Izuku's eyes lit up at the thought. "I totally forgot about that! Gosh, I'm so excited!" He squealed. "I can't wait for you to meet them to. You'll probably really get along with Kiri, Kacchan not so much. He doesn't really like... people..."

"I've gathered that much." The orange haired boy said with a small laugh.

Izuku had told him a lot about the two boys. Like a lot. He talked about them frequently and called them enough for Hinata to figure out the basics of their personalities.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The week seemed to fly by and soon it was the day that Katsuki and Eijirou flew to California. Of course, they were all skyping, Katsuki at Eijirou's house, waiting for when they needed to head to the airport.

"I can't believe I get to see you guys in a few hours." Izuku said, barely able to contain his excitement at the thought.

"The flights like twelve hours, right?" Katsuki asked, finding it slightly amusing how damn excited Izuku was at the thought of just seeing them again.

"Sh, don't ruin my good mood, Kacchan!" Izuku said quickly, not wanting to be reminded just how long he still had to wait.

"Okay, okay, I'll just let you be disappointed when we aren't there in two hours." The blond said with a shrug, actually smiling as they all talked.

"Kiri, Kacchan's being mean! Tell him to stop being mean!" Izuku said, training his eyes onto the redhead.

"Bakubro, stop being mean." Eijirou said with a small laugh.

"That wasn't being mean!" Katsuki said, trying to defend himself.

"I don't know, sounded pretty mean to me!" Hinata called from his bed where he was talking with Kageyama, who had the smaller boy laying across his back while he was laying on his stomach.

"Shut it carrot top!" Katsuki shouted at the computer, already knowing Izuku's roommate.

"Huh, that's new." Kageyama noted, twisting his neck to an awkward angle so he could see his boyfriend.

Hinata laughed. "Not really."

Izuku sighed at his best friend. "Kacchan, please be nice to my roommate." He said in a defeated tone.

"Fine." Katsuki mumbled.

"Whipped." Hinata whispered to Kageyama, quiet enough for Izuku to not hear him. His boyfriend just nodded in agreement.

"Oh shit!" Eijirou suddenly exclaimed. "We seriously need to go if we want to actually make our flight." He said.

Izuku heart skipped a beat as he realized just how close he was to seeing them both. "Okay, well please be safe! I'll see you guys soon!" He said with a giant smile.

"Of course, see you soon." Eijirou said, his own smile just as wide.

"Shit, we seriously need to go. See ya nerd!" Katsuki said before cutting off the call.

Izuku shut his laptop and flopped back onto his bed. A few seconds of silence later and he was squealing like a high school girl, which earned a laugh from Hinata.

"Someone's a bit excited, huh?" He asked the green haired boy that seemed to be in a daze.

"Obviously, I have seen my best friends since August and I get so see them in like half a day." Izuku answered.

"Best friends? I thought you guys were dating?" Kageyama asked in complete confusion.

Hinata cringed at his boyfriend's question.

Izuku looked at him wide eyed and his face bright red. "Wh-what? No way! I'm dating Kaminari. You know, the guy I go and visit on the weekends and let you two have the dorm to yourselves?" He said, knowing damn well what they get up to by themselves.

"Really? Could've fooled me." Kageyama said bluntly, sending a glare to his boyfriend when he was hit in the shoulder.

Izuku awkwardly shifted on his bed, pulling out his phone to text his actual boyfriend.

Izuku~
You still coming down to see Kiri and Kacchan?

Denki~
O ya I forgot about that. When do they get here?

Izuku~
They just left for the airport so probably in like 12-13 hours.

Denki~
Ya I'll be down there in a few hours.

Izuku~
Okay, see you then.

Denki~
Mhm love you.

Izuku hesitated, just like he always did when Kaminari said that. He didn't know why he found it so hard to say back. It was just three words, so why was it so difficult for him to text back.

Izuku~
Love you to.

He sighed and threw his phone onto his bed.

Why did he not believe himself?
