Izuku spoke softly into Katsukiâs neck, pressing sweet kisses against the base of his skull. The sun was just starting to peek over the stark black outline of the horizon, casting a faint orange glow over the man Izuku had slipped
so easily into bedding the past couple of weeks. The blondeâs fine, unlined face scrunched irritably at the disruption, but he still turned and grabbed Izukuâs wrist as he pulled away. Izuku smiled. Katsuki tugged him down until he could give him a sleepy,
sloppy kiss on the mouth.
âAlways trying to sneak off in the night, huh Deku,â he grumbled, pulling him back for more kisses.
Izuku smiled and indulged him. The teenâs sleepy lips fumbled and made a mess of their saliva, but Izuku didnât mind.

Mornings with Katsuki were his favourites for this reason exactly.
After a few minutes, he pulled away, stroking his fingers through Katsukiâs soft blonde hair as the other man cuddled back into his blankets.

Over the past couple of weeks, Izuku had slipped into an easy routine. Monday, Wednesday and Friday he trained Katsuki, then joined him for passionate sex and warm cuddles overnight. The teen
was sometimes skittish, sometimes surly, but overall Izuku was impressed with how quickly heâd adapted. The insecurity was still plainly visible in a lot of his behaviour but he hadnât gotten more clingy or pushed Izuku away completely, so he counted
it as a win.
Slipping his shoes on by the door, he felt the familiar longing as he stepped outside. Perhaps heâd been too quick to judge Katsuki for his whirlwind romances. Much as there was no denying the teen was far too emotionally vulnerable, there
Slipping his shoes on by the door, he felt the familiar longing as he stepped outside. Perhaps heâd been too quick to judge Katsuki for his whirlwind romances. Much as there was no denying the teen was far too emotionally vulnerable, there
was an addictive quality to him slowly working its way into Izukuâs veins as well. Maybe Katsukiâs exes had been as powerless to stop their feelings for him overwhelming them as Izuku sometimes felt.
But, he reminded himself as he got into his car and
But, he reminded himself as he got into his car and
pulled out of the driveway, he had an advantage none of them had. From what he could tell, all had been around Katsukiâs age. Izuku had at least a decadeâs worth of experience on all of them. He was able to feel a thing without acting on it, and to
keep his emotions in check even under stress. None of the others had the maturity. Even after only a couple of weeks, it was seeming more and more like that was the thing most lacking in Katsukiâs previous relationships.
Not that that excused some of
Not that that excused some of
them. Katsukiâs most recent ex, for example â now there was a piece of shit with no good reason to be such a piece of shit. As calm as he was, it made Izukuâs blood boil whenever there was a new update in that whole situation. Katsuki had stepped back
entirely from the drama of the break-up, too consumed with the thrill of something new with Izuku.
But Monoma⊠the other teen only seemed further incited for every insult Katsuki didnât respond to. Most recently, heâd gone live with his sixth partner
But Monoma⊠the other teen only seemed further incited for every insult Katsuki didnât respond to. Most recently, heâd gone live with his sixth partner
since the break-up and gone on so long about how much better life was now for him that heâd even made some of his fans uncomfortable.

The sun was cresting the horizon as Izuku pulled onto the highway and he mulled over Monomaâs behaviour. He and
Katsuki had dated for a year but it had been on again, off again the whole time. Periods of idyllic bliss broken up by fights that had left Katsuki bitter and suicidal. Izuku suspected the other boy hadnât thought Katsuki and he would stay broken up
this time. Nothing else he could think of made sense of Monomaâs escalating behaviour.
Izuku pulled into the car park of his workplace, Get Swole!, and made his way into reception.

Shouto Todoroki sat behind the desk. By his elbow, Rikido Sato watched

âMorning, Sato! Morning, boss!â he chirped, and both answered in kind.
âMeet me before you run your class, please, Midoriya,â Shouto added as Izuku continued through

He met Shouto outside the training room booked for the bootcamp.

âWhatâs on your mind?â he asked.

âMm.â

âMm.â
Touya, or Dabi as he went by online, would probably only be aware of one rumour that had anything to do with Izuku. âThe one about me and Bakugo being involved with each other?â
Shouto nodded. No point in hiding it anymore, then.
Shouto nodded. No point in hiding it anymore, then.
âItâs true,â Izuku told him. âItâs just casual.â
Shouto barely reacted. Instead, he nodded a couple of times, his two-toned brows furrowing. Izuku gave him a moment to think, hoping he wasnât about to be fired.

just want to reiterate the & #39;past abusive relationship& #39; tag before we continue. it& #39;s not super graphic, but i know weird lil things can be triggering. be safe and well guys <3
He hadnât been expecting that. He and Shouto had been friends for years, building the gym together from the ground up. Despite his frosty exterior, Shouto cared deeply for his friends, especially Izuku. Guilt and shame washed over him for the first
time since starting his tryst with Katsuki. He lowered his eyes and swallowed.
âYou did. Iâm sorry, Shou.â He glanced up and tried to hold back tears at having been so careless with his friendâs advice. âI really like him.

Realising he wasnât going to continue, Shouto sighed.
âIâm not going to tell you what you can and canât do with your private life,â Shouto said. âBut I have to protect the gym. If it goes bad, the scandal would be devastating.â

Izuku took a deep breath and nodded. Fired, then. Heâd expected that, albeit not so soon, but word travelled fast and unpredictably in Katsukiâs circles. It had to come out eventually. He already had his resume updated and ready to send out.
âIâll clear out my locker after the bootcamp,â he agreed.
âWhat?! No, IzukuâŠâ Shouto gave a frustrated sigh, then flashed him a rare smile. âYou canât train Katsuki through us anymore but Iâm not firing you. Youâre basically the co-owner.â

Izuku choked back a sob. Shouto watched him with a soft, amused smile as he scrubbed his eyes and tried to stop the tears.

âWell, if it was anyone else Iâd probably be more worried. But even so, be careful. Bakugo may not be the worst of them, but he doesnât have to be to ruin your life. His friends are more than capable of doing that on their own. My brother included.â
Izuku nodded, sniffling.
âThank you. I will. Iâm still sorrââ
âStop apologising. Just find a replacement to take over your shifts with Bakugo by the end of the day and weâre all good here.â
Izuku felt melancholy welling up in him again, but he snuffed

Izuku felt melancholy welling up in him again, but he snuffed
it out quickly. Instead he just nodded and smiled. In his younger days, he might have spent the whole day moping and beating himself up for accidentally causing his friend a problem, but he was long past that. Shouto would tell him if he was still
upset. And, with a solution in place, Izuku reminded himself there was no reason to wallow over it. Shouto raised an eyebrow at him staring and grinning, then sighed and gave him an awkward hug.
âGo run your class,â he said, though his tone was laced with amusement. âIf you want to talk about it more later, we can find some time at drinks tonight, okay?â

Izuku nodded again and went into the training room, calling out a cheery greeting to the
dozen bleary-eyed office workers and mothers lined up on the mats. Heâd see if anyone was available to take his shifts after.

âHey, Kirishima!â
Izuku caught the redhead opening his locker and yawning after his class. He was a new hire but so far heâd proved more than competent and very good at handling difficult clients, so Izuku figured heâd be the best fit.

âHey, Midoriya.
Whatâs up? Good class this morning?â
Despite having clearly rolled directly out of bed into his car and then rolled again to be standing by his locker, Kirishima managed a grin and a chest bump as Izuku approached.
âYeah, it was great,â Izuku told him.

âIâm so proud of how far theyâve come in such a short time. But I was wondering, what are your weekdays like? I got taken off the Bakugo job, and I thought youâd be a great fit for it.â
At the mention of Bakugo, Kirishimaâs grin dropped slightly.

Izuku paused.

He hadnât expected that at all. Now that he thought about it, Kirishima and Katsuki would be around the same age, and he vaguely remembered the redhead saying they went to the same school around the time the training request first came in, but
he hadnât realised there was any more to it than that.
âWhat happened?â he asked.
Kirishima shrugged again, pulling his shirt off and trading it for a workout tank.

Kirishima shrugged again, pulling his shirt off and trading it for a workout tank.
âI dunno, man,â he said. âWe were super close all through school, us and a bunch of
others, but then he started dating that Monoma dude, and we just⊠grew apart, I guess?â Kirishima frowned, his mouth hardening into a line. âNo, thatâs not it, if Iâm honest. Monoma /made/ us grow apart.â
âHe does seem like a dick,â Izuku agreed, and apparently that was all Kirishima needed to let the whole truth out.
âHeâs /such/ a dick!â the beefy redhead exclaimed. âHeâs so rude! He used to slag Kats off in front of us all the time, and Kats would
âHeâs /such/ a dick!â the beefy redhead exclaimed. âHeâs so rude! He used to slag Kats off in front of us all the time, and Kats would
just let him do it! I hated it. So did Denks and Mina, but Kats told us not to worry about it. Said it was just his sense of humour. Never seemed like a joke to /me,/ but whatever, I guess.â
Izuku tried not to let his surprise show on his face as he
Izuku tried not to let his surprise show on his face as he
made an understanding noise. Even if Katsuki wasnât his lover, heâd still want to provide emotional support to his colleague. But getting a clearer picture of what exactly had happened to Katsuki was a definite bonus.
âHe started turning up to all our hangouts too, like we never got to just spend time with Kats anymore, it was always both of them. And like, the rare occasions we /did/ just see Kats, Monoma would be texting him nonstop, not even talking about
anything, just dumb stuff, but then heâd get suuuuuper pissed if Kats took longer than like two seconds to reply.â
Kirishima took a breath and Izuku realised there were tears in the redheadâs eyes. He wanted to reach out and hug him, but
Kirishima took a breath and Izuku realised there were tears in the redheadâs eyes. He wanted to reach out and hug him, but
they didnât really know each other all that well and he didnât want to make him uncomfortable.

âIâm so sorry, Kirishima,â Izuku said softly. âI had no idea. I⊠I mean, I know you might not care,
but he and Monoma broke up a while ago, so if Monoma was the problem then maybe thereâs no problem anymore?â
Kirishima huffed and rolled some extra-strength antiperspirant under his arms, then grabbed a clean towel and his water bottle.

âItâs not just Monoma now though,â he said. âKats got all involved with like, Dabi and Shiggy and that creepy Toga chick, too. Theyâre bad news. Plus, pretty sure theyâre all buddy-buddy with Monoma still so itâs not like heâs actually out of Katsâ
life. Theyâll probably be back together any day now. Besides,â he closed his locker and spun the lock a couple of times. âThey broke up like a few months ago, right? He hasnât messaged me. SooooâŠâ

Katsuki took particular joy in cooking for them both when
Izuku was over. Heâd demanded a copy of Izukuâs macros and spent what Izuku had to assume was hours researching so that he could provide exactly what Izuku needed. When Izuku tried to thank him for it, heâd blushed and shrugged and muttered something
about keeping Izuku hot. It was weirdly sweet.

Izuku chuckled and planted a soft kiss on his head, then opened his mouth, still undecided on sticking his nose into other
peopleâs business. Katsuki must have sensed his hesitation. He rose up off his loverâs chest to scowl at him.
âYouâve been wanting to say something all night,â he grumbled. âItâs getting fucking old. Just fucking say it already.â

Katsuki chewed his lower lip and let his brows drop even further into a scowl. Izuku sat silently as Katsuki processed the information,
wondering how to approach the rest of the conversation. He wanted Katsuki to find friends outside the influencer group he was in, people who were chill and grounded and werenât likely to stab him in the back at any moment for the sake of views or
likes. Finding new friends like that might be difficult for someone like Katsuki, but if his old friends were willing to forgive him, that was beyond perfect. Convincing Katsuki might not be easy though.
âYeah, we were close,â Katsuki finally admitted.

Izuku blinked in surprise at that last addition. Putting that last bit, and everything it implied, aside
for a moment, he smiled reassuringly at Katsuki.
âCool. He seems like a nice guy. I know Shinsou is training you now, but I figured you might prefer Kirishima if guys already knew each other, thatâs all.â
Katsuki eyed him warily.

Katsuki eyed him warily.
It seemed like he was expecting more, but he didnât quite know how to bring it up. Izuku held out his arm for Katsuki to cuddle up to him again. Hesitantly, the blonde obliged, resting his head on Izukuâs broad shoulder and wrapping his arms around
him. Izuku gave a happy sigh.
âYou donât have to,â he told Katsuki. âBut like I said, he seems nice. If you miss him, I doubt heâd be upset if you messaged him, even if you donât want him training you.â
Katsuki sat up again sharply.

âA lot.â Izuku removed his arm from around Katsukiâs waist to take his hand. âBut basically just that Monoma was a massive dick and stopped you from seeing them, best he could tell. And that he misses you.â
âA lot.â Izuku removed his arm from around Katsukiâs waist to take his hand. âBut basically just that Monoma was a massive dick and stopped you from seeing them, best he could tell. And that he misses you.â
Katsuki glowered at him a moment, then scoffed, averting his eyes.
âYeah, right. He must be pissed at me for ghosting them like that. I would be.â
Izuku shrugged.
âMaybe a little, but heâs not really the type to hold a grudge, is he?â
âYeah, right. He must be pissed at me for ghosting them like that. I would be.â
Izuku shrugged.
âMaybe a little, but heâs not really the type to hold a grudge, is he?â
Katsuki harrumphed and shifted, interlacing his fingers with Izukuâs and scowling at his knees. He opened his mouth as though to keep talking, but then the timer went off on the pressure cooker. Katsuki shot a withering glance in the
direction of the kitchen, then looked back at Izuku.
âDinnerâs ready,â he mumbled, then got up from the couch and made his way into the kitchen. Izuku just nodded and followed him.

âNot really a waste then, is it?â
Katsukiâs face scrunched around his mouth and eyes, his gaze drifting towards the window. Izuku cleaned his toothbrush too and then wrapped his arms around
Katsukiâs waist from behind, kissing his neck and stroking his hip. All the tension bled out of the smaller man in an instant.
âYou really werenât gearing up to break up with me before?â
Blindsided by the sudden shift in subject, Izuku just blinked.

âNo, I wasnât,â he assured him. âIâm having an amazing time with you, and it seems like you feel the same. I told you, Iâm not going anywhere.â
He straightened up and turned Katsuki to face him. The blonde was only eight inches shorter than him but he still had to crane his neck slightly to meet Izukuâs eye.
âUnless you want me to?â
âUnless you want me to?â
Katsuki shook his head instantly, then leaned in. His slender arms wrapped around Izukuâs neck and the taller man lifted him easily so that they could kiss. As always, there was a tinge of desperation as Katsuki clutched at his hair and pressed his
tongue into Izukuâs mouth. Like he was making the most of it, in case it didn& #39;t last. It only encouraged Izuku to kiss him more and try to remind him there would be no shortage of kisses from him. If only he could convey exactly how much he cared about
Katsuki through their wordless lips.
âYou make me so fucking hard,â Katsuki whispered against his mouth.
Izuku couldnât help but chuckle. That would do, he supposed. It was too early to be making wild declarations of love anyway.
