"What do you believe in, Midoriya?" He asked simply. "What?" The man sighed, "Call me superstitious, but I believe in things that most men don't. Those beliefs are ingrained in me, they dictate my actions and they've saved my life. My gut tells me man should never have entered this place, so I listen." He looked serious and yet unbothered all at once as he turned his face towards the sky, taking his cigarette to tap the ash off into the sea. "If you believe in anything at all, I'd get back on this damn boat kid." Izuku was many things; Reckless? Certainly. A Coward? Never. **WARNINGS: Referenced sexual and physical assault, torture, blood, gore, violence. PLEASE read with these in mind.** P.s.

Katsuki was about to lose his goddamn mind.

Izuku paced as he began to wonder for the hundredth time that day if he should just cancel the whole thing. But this was an expensive hotel suite and he wouldn't be able to afford to do this again. Better just to get it over with. Izuku hadn't taken this decision lightly. It was a big deal. A momentous moment. A moral conundrum- Three sharp raps at the door halted his movements. He sucked in a deep breath, wiped his clammy hands on his slacks and marched to the door. On the exhale he pulled it open wide and looked up into firece amber eyes.

Izuku can't exactly pinpoint when, but at some point he had fallen in love with Bakugou Katsuki. So why was he worried about this new revelation? Why couldn't he just ask his friend out? Get it over with, rip the bandaid off? Well isn't it obvious? Now, Izuku thought it was unbelievably rude to number someone's attractiveness on a nonsense scale of one-to-ten, but if he absolutely had to to prove his point, then Izuku considered himself a four tops. Katsuki - He was a twenty even in a room full of tens. Izuku never stood a chance. And every week he heard about or saw all of those who did. Note: Inspired by Like I Can by Sam Smith, as part of Frog's Song-Book Fics series. You can read fics from this series ahead of Wattpad on AO3, as I post all my fics there first. I do not warn readers of anything that could spoil the plot too badly, but I don't think there are any themes in this work that would be destressing to read.

They graduated in the summer and by the following fall Izuku was gone. No one saw Izuku's departure coming... except Katsuki. He'd encouraged it. To be the best you had to take every opportunity given to you. So Izuku had travelled halfway around the world to further his career. Ochaco was happy for her friend, although many of her old classmates assumed she'd be devastated by his departure due to her crush on the boy. They all seemingly ignored the fact that she'd gotten over that a while ago. She'd moved on to someone with a little more bite. And what Uraraka wanted, she was going to get. There was nothing wrong with being a little selfish, right?

⚠️ WARNING - CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR CURRENT MANGA ARC! ⚠️ Bakugou Katsuki has a boyfriend. And Izuku didn't know. "Look shithead, I'm only telling you because I don't lie. Never have, never will. And sometimes I'm gonna be busy now, and that'll be why." Izuku nodded along, too worried to interrupt. "Kirishima knows too. He actually introduced us." Katsuki rubbed his face, as if suddenly exhausted, "I had a crush on you since third year, and I needed to get over your straight ass, so I'm doing that. I've moved on." Wait....
