    Summary

    Katsuki sighs. “One to ten?”

    Izuku blinks at him, slow and sleepy and really not there. Katsuki counts in his mind, waiting for a reply. 

    “Eight?” Izuku says, the words slurring. “Comes after seven, right?”

    Katsuki snorts. The nerd is fucking out of it. “Migraine?”

    “Mmph,” Izuku replies, his eyes shutting. He breathes deeply, and Katsuki holds onto that. Despite all of the—all of the things that have happened to them, and the constant pain that always bites at Izuku’s heels—there’s the scratch of Izuku’s curls under his palm, the heat from Izuku’s body next to him, and the breaths telegraphed so clearly, even to Katsuki’s drifting focus. 

    Izuku is here. Katsuki is here. All is well.

    Or...If all Izuku asks for is comfort, who is Katsuki to deny it?

    Summary

    Harsh pellets of unforgiving rain further coax Izuku into submission, massaging any remaining fight out of his battered body. Cloudy droplets fall from the tips of his unkempt hair, his scratched nose, his muddy and ruined costume. They collect in a puddle beneath the rivals, visible evidence of the last month—the last several months, really—rinsing away and allowing Izuku a morsel of relief. With an audible exhale that leans too close to a whimper, he finally succumbs, and Katsuki is left to fully support him.

    -----

    In the immediate aftermath of Class 1A's most important battle to date, Katsuki takes it upon himself to be Izuku's keeper.

    Summary

    Izuku was on his last thread; bullied by his best friend, neglected by his mother, quirkless in a heavily bigoted society, and told by his idol that he could never be a hero.

    So, he gave himself an ultimatum: if nothing got better in a year, he would end his life.

    However, if he somehow "accidentally" died during his late night clandestine activities, he wouldn't be too upset.

    A certain underground hero gets in the way of his plans, but is it enough to keep him alive?

    Summary

    Kacchan hummed as he lightly scratched at Izuku’s scalp and massaged the soap through. 

    Izuku braced himself against the wall. “Why are you doing this?” He sounded wounded—he felt wounded. 

    “Doing what?”

    “Torturing me,” he croaked, resting his forehead against the cool shower tile and silently begging for his torment to end. 

    Kacchan was giving him glimpses of what he’d never have: careful touches, falling asleep in loving arms, being loved unconditionally, being seen for who he truly was, and being loved for who he was. And it was killing him. 

    ——

    Or, shortly after being discharged from the hospital, Izuku wakes Katsuki up with a bad migraine. Katsuki plays nurse as best he can with one functioning arm and a weak heart. As the days pass and Izuku fails to get better, Katsuki suspects there’s a deeper meaning behind his worsening condition.

    Summary

    At some point, Izuku had to stop. Unable to help himself, his fingers loosened around the washcloth and his palm came to rest flat over Katsuki’s chest, right over his heart.

    Thump Thump Thump, Katsuki's heart fluttered miraculously beneath his touch. It was a second chance Izuku didn’t deserve. His thumb hovered at the edge of his scar, where his pale, smooth, perfect skin gave way where evil had mercilessly shredded through. Before and after, separated by such an easy line.

    He swallowed hard, his throat tightening around a cry, trying to ground himself in the fact that Katsuki was here, alive, that none of those scars had taken his Kacchan away from him. They only created new patterns on the beautiful body that Izuku would wash clean.

    -

    Literally almost 20K of Izuku taking care of Katsuki after the war and them just talking.
