The sound of a door opening went through the air. Footsteps echoed through the room, as the two of them made their way inside Katsuki's apartment.

Izuku looked to the right to find dark marble for the counter tops and a light cream color for the cabinets. His fridge rested in the corner in stainless steel. His gaze then landed to the other side of the room where he found On a red couch that sat in front of a large tv, with a lamp off to the side. Then a door to his bedroom laid open.

"Wow Kacchan, you have a nice place" Izuku said, his eyes glistening with excitement. He looked around and inspected slightly, quite liking the place. It suited Katsuki in an odd way, there wasn't much explaining, that was just the conclusion that Izuku had come up with.

"Of course I do, damn nerd" Katsuki stated with a look of confidence. The blonde may have calmed down but his ego never faltered.

Katsuki walked over to the kitchen and sat down his bag on the counter. He immediately took out two ramen packages and set them down. He then went over to a kettle, pouring water into it and placing it back on the now running stove.

His hands gripped the cabinet and took out two bowls, only to turn his body back to Izuku as he waited for the water to boil.

"W-What are you doing?" Izuku stated as he noticed Katsuki's attention back on him.

"What do you think? Making ramen."

Izuku's blush crept onto his face as he realized the answer was that simple. He began to fidget his fingers as he waited patiently for Katsuki to say something.

"What games do you like?" Katsuki said looking into Izuku's eyes and noticing the anxious movement from the person in front of him.

Izuku looked down for a second, complementing an answer, before his face sparked up with an excitement that made Katsuki's heart jump a bit.

"Mario games are a classic, but then there's also that hero one that we used to play before, remember that Kacchan? You would be-"

"Stop muttering" Katsuki started before going over to the sound of the water boiling. He had an idea for a game that they could play, so the night wasn't full of awkwardness like the time he had went over to Izuku's apartment.

He turned off the stove and the loud ringing noise the kettle made came to a stop. He then placed the two instant ramen packages into a bowl and poured water that slowly made them less stiff. Finally he then put packets of flavoring and mixed both bowls around with some chopsticks.

Katsuki gathered up the bowls and started walking over to the red couch and placed them on a coffee table in front of them. Izuku watched the act in awe, his eyes widening at how quickly Katsuki had done it all. He was impressed but not surprised, since the blonde usually was quite speedy with things. This only added to the list of the amazing qualities of the one and only Bakugo Katsuki.

The blonde had begun to get comfortable as he laid back on his couch with his legs spread out as he turned on the tv.

Izuku stared and stayed in place, not sure what he was supposed to do. He assumed he was meant to sit next to him, yet his nerves were running wild at the thought.

What if their legs touched?

Would Kacchan be repulsed?

Would he kick him out?

Would their new friendship be ruined?

His thoughts were driving him insane as he waited patiently for the blonde's voice to command him what to do. His feet seemed glued to the ground as he tried to move any part of his body. Though a voice finally made him walk over to the couch.
