#bkdk Imagine pro hero Kacchan absolutely freaking out when Deku doesn't make it home on time for their anniversary dinner. He's not answering his phone & all their co-workers say he left the agency at the usual time.

Kacchan's worried sick because he's never this late and why the hell did he pick up a shift on their anniversary anyway and he spent all this time making a huge meal that was getting cold what if Deku was mugged or kidnapped, or killed?

Finally he hears the key in the door. He'd been about to call Jirou again to start a search party, but Deku comes through the door and Kacchan just grabs him and hugs him before he can even say anything. When he finally speaks his words come out harsh.

"Where the fuck were you?"

"Kacchan, I'm so sorry. I got a little sidetracked after work & my phone died."

"Oh, you got a little sidetracked? Hah? It's our anniversary, Deku. All this food's not gonna taste as good reheated. What the hell could you have been...?"

Kacchan turns to see Izuku kneeling in front of him, a little box opened in his palm, a silver ring shining up at him. Kacchan clamps a hand over his mouth, tears instantly forming in his eyes.

"Deku," he says.

"I'm sorry I missed dinner."

"Fuck the dinner," says Kacchan, barely containing himself, the joy overtaking his entire being, overflowing through his tears and nervous energy. He's practically bouncing.

"Kacchan. We've been together for a long time, already. I'm hoping you'd like to be with me a lot longer.

like...forever," said Deku, who was crying too now, wearing a hopeful look that Kacchan wanted to kiss right off his stupid face because the nerd never needed to wonder with him.

"Forever sounds good," Kacchan answers.

"Then, Kacchan. Will you marry me?"

"Yes, Deku, yes!"

And Kacchan grabs Deku and hugs him, spinning him around until his feet lift off the ground, only possible due to his shorter stature because Deku's just as fucking strong as Kacchan. They share a deep, emotional kiss.

Kacchan is relieved & stunned & happy all at once. Deku is apologetic. He really is sorry he missed the dinner. It looks and smells amazing. Kacchan is already opening a bottle of champagne.

They usually keep some on hand to toast truly remarkable victories or in case their parents show up unannounced for brunch. But it hadn't been refrigerated. They toast to each other, drinking warm champagne & eating cold dinner, too pleased & too wrapped up in each other to care.

After dinner they share a kiss across the table, chaste & sweet at first but they end up making love on the kitchen floor, which their bodies may regret later, but they can't be bothered with that right now.

They go for a stroll, walking hand in hand with no set agenda besides basking in each other. Kacchan's wearing the ring now & he occasionally stops to glance at it when he thinks Deku's not looking. Deku grants him those private moments & watching him makes Deku's heart swell.

"Ice cream?" Deku asks as they pass one of their favorite vendors. Kacchan left his wallet at home. Shit, Deku forgot his too. I guess their minds were elsewhere. The vendor recognizes them of course & when she notices how stupidly happy they look she offers them a freebie.

So they share one cone as they walk. It's a bit awkward & they probably look goofy as hell but they don't have it in them to be embarrassed. And Kacchan smiles because it reminds him so much of something they would have done, probably did do, as kids.

"We should probably call our parents," says Kacchan as they sit on a park bench, licking up the last of their melting ice cream. Deku gave him a guilty look.

"I sort of already did..."

"What?"

"I mean, I kept the ring at my mom's place so you couldn't find it.

And I know it's old-fashioned, but I went to your parents to make sure it was okay with them."

Kacchan looks incredulous.

"Why wouldn't it be? My parents fucking love you! They probably like you more than they like me!"

"What? Kaccahan, that's not true!" Deku says, play-punching Kacchan in the arm. But the blonde was laughing. He pushes a green curl out of Deku's face & plants a soft, lingering kiss on his forehead. Deku beams & snuggles up to him. "I'm really happy, Kacchan."

"Me too, nerd."

"I'm glad you said, 'yes.'"

"Hmmm, were you nervous? Did you think maybe I wouldn't?" Kacchan tilts Deku's chin up with a hooked finger, moving in close, their noses practically touching.

"No," says Deku, leaning in for a kiss. Kacchan happily obliges. They only break apart when they hear whistles around them. When they open their eyes, they're greeted by a small circle of people, clearly fans, with varying looks from jealousy to admiration to pure joy.

Kacchan blinked as a camera flashed in their faces & the culprit mouthed sorry, though whether for the bright flash or the invasion of privacy he wasn't sure.

"You guys are SO cute," said one of the fans.

"Oh my god, LOOK! HE HAS A RING!!!!"

They'd both dealt with their fair share of snooping fans over the years. Kacchan thinks Deku's patience level is too high. He ought to be mad to be disturbed like this on the best night of his life, but instead he leans in and says.

"You caught us. We're engaged."

But before the squeals can break out again he puts a finger to his lips and it mesmerizes the fans & shuts them up. They're eager not to make Kacchan mad.

"Now, there are those out there who'd like to get their hands on this story, huh?" he asks. They nod.

"That's fine. We're used to the attention, but the thing is...we'd really like to keep this a secret a little bit longer. Break the news ourselves, officially, ya know?"

Deku stares in disbelief. It's not like he's unfamiliar with the Kacchan charm, but boy can he work a crowd

when necessary. It's one of the surprising things about him that Deku is happy to learn, especially because he's known Kacchan so long, he'd thought there couldn't possibly be any.

"So, here's what we're gonna do...

We'll agree to take some selfies with you, even /with/ the ring. Just so long as you don't post it until /after/ we make our official announcement. Then you can say you saw us on our engagement night & you were the first to know & whatever else you want. Deal?"

The fans nodded again. And then they took turns smiling for selfies, Kacchan and Deku throwing up Victory signs & smiles until their cheeks ached & they were alone together again.

"Occupational hazard," says Deku.

"They seem like good kids."

They make their way back home & Kacchan cleans up the dishes while Deku flips through the tv channels & settles on an old hero documentary they've both seen numerous times but never once from start to finish.

"Hey nerd," says Kacchan as he dries his hands on the All Might dish towel.

"Yeah?" asks Deku, lazily.

"I got something for you too. For our anniversary."

"Really, what?"

"Follow me to find out."

Kacchan leads him back towards their room.

"If it's something new you wanna try in the bedroom, I'm still a little sore from earlier & from work..."

"No, Deku! What the fuck? I mean a /proper/ gift. You're infuriating sometimes."

"I'm kidding, Kacchan," says Izuku, smirking.

"Close your eyes, Deku. No peeking."

Deku obeys & he hears Kacchan opening the closet door (he thinks)& some rustling.

"Okay, open up."

Deku opens his eyes & he sees Kacchan holding out a black box with a ring, much like the one Deku had given him earlier.

"Kacchan!"

"I was planning on proposing to /you/ tonight, but I guess you were too eager to wait."

Deku jumps into Kacchan's arms, squeezing him tight as the tears flow. Kacchan puts the ring on Deku's finger & they melt into happy laughter.

"Great minds," says Deku. "So, I guess I win."

"Nuh uh," says Kacchan. "You're stuck with /me./ I, on the other hand get to be with /you./ So, I think I'm the real winner here."

And Deku smiles as Kacchan kisses him. He wants to argue, but he doesn't. Instead he says,

"Alright, Kacchan. You win."

The End
