When Midoriya lives on his own, he& #39;s a bit of a hoarder. Every horizontal surface has stuff on it; books/papers, fanmail, merch from all his different classmates, random "recyclable" shit. When Bakugou visits, he& #39;s like, "Damn bitch you live like this?"

It& #39;s actually kind of bad lol. Deku& #39;s got piles of clothes in the corners of different rooms; there& #39;s empty boxes everywhere that he& #39;s just not throwing away. The kitchen counters are covered in dishes and take-out trash. The only "clean" place is the bathroom,
and its bc Baku makes sure it& #39;s clean.
Deku& #39;s different "collections" become a bit of a problem. He doesn& #39;t have room for all the journals he has (and he can& #39;t throw away a single one and its not the same when its digitized) and his All Might merch has taken over an entire room.

The whole apartment is packed so tightly that there& #39;s really only narrow paths between rooms. When Deku has Baku in his bedroom, Deku "tidies" by moving some of the clutter from that room to a different room, hoping Baku doesn& #39;t notice.
Baku fucking notices tho.

"You need to get rid of some of this shit," Baku says as he shimmies through the apartment.
"Yeah, I just don& #39;t have time to go through it all," Deku says.
"You& #39;ll never have time to go thru it /all/," Baku says. "You just need to do it one part at a time."
"Yeah, I just don& #39;t have time to go through it all," Deku says.
"You& #39;ll never have time to go thru it /all/," Baku says. "You just need to do it one part at a time."
Baku doesn& #39;t understand that as soon as Deku clears out a spot, it seems to just fill right back up with stuff and then he has to go thru it again. Deku can& #39;t even begin to tackle it most of the time, and it& #39;s not /dirty/ its just /cluttered/ so its /fine./
It& #39;s fine, until its clear Deku hasn& #39;t left room for anyone else.
"You think it& #39;d be different if we lived together?" Baku asks in the early morning, Deku on his chest. The clutter in Deku& #39;s room is all around the bed.

"I think we& #39;d kill each other if we lived together," Deku says. Baku& #39;s apartment is minimalist, tidy, clean. Nothing is without its place. Deku can& #39;t imagine living like that.
"You know all this shit is a fire hazard, right?" Baku says. "And every time I come over, -

I have to throw away obvious /trash./ Do you not /notice/ the shit around you?"
Deku can hear Baku& #39;s heart racing in his chest.
"I guess I don& #39;t," Deku mutters.
"It& #39;s not healthy," Baku says. "It& #39;s one thing to be disorganized, but this-" Baku gestures to the piles of things

"It& #39;s not healthy," Baku says. "It& #39;s one thing to be disorganized, but this-" Baku gestures to the piles of things
on the floor and dressers around them. "You don& #39;t need all this shit."
"Well, no," Deku admitted. "But there& #39;s stuff in those piles I want to keep. I just gotta go thru the piles, so I don& #39;t throw anything away that I need."
"Well, no," Deku admitted. "But there& #39;s stuff in those piles I want to keep. I just gotta go thru the piles, so I don& #39;t throw anything away that I need."
"Izuku," Baku says. He put his hands on his shoulders and lifted him so he could see his face. "Name /one thing/ that could be in those piles that you might /need./" Deku opened his mouth but Baku reiterated. "NOT /want,/ but /need./"
"Well, I don& #39;t know," Deku says, flushing. It was rare when Baku called him by his first name, and Deku was embarrassed that he& #39;d elected to use it while talking about this issue. "I& #39;d have to look through the piles first and see what& #39;s in them."
"If you needed it, it wouldn& #39;t be in a pile of shit," Baku says.
"If it bothers you so much, I& #39;ll just come over to your apartment from now on," Deku says defensively.
"This isn& #39;t about me," Baku says.
"I think it is," Deku insists. "You& #39;re disgusted with my apartment."

"I& #39;m /worried/ about your fucking /behavior,/" Baku insists back. "I& #39;m not fucking judging you. I think you deserve to live someplace that doesn& #39;t look like a fucking overflowing storage unit."
"Well, I& #39;m not just gonna throw /everything/ away," Deku says.
"Well, I& #39;m not just gonna throw /everything/ away," Deku says.
"Then go through it," Baku says. "Get the shit that you want and chuck the rest."
"I /can& #39;t/ go thru it," Deku says. "There& #39;s too much."
"So let& #39;s get some of the boys, and we can sort through-"
"No. God no," Deku interrupts. "No, you& #39;re the only person who& #39;s seen-

"No. God no," Deku interrupts. "No, you& #39;re the only person who& #39;s seen-
-how bad it is. I don& #39;t want people to know..."
"Okay," Baku says. "Then just you and me." Deku frowns. Baku heaves a sigh. "Look, if we can get this apartment fucking /clean,/ I have a surprise for you."
"A surprise." Deku says incredulously. "Are you serious."

"Absolutely. And it& #39;s a big fucking surprise, too. You better look forward to it, because it& #39;ll totally be worth throwing away the fucking garbage in your apartment."

Deku scrutinizes Baku& #39;s face. He and Baku have been casually dating for quite a while, and Baku has
never done anything particularly romantic or "surprising" before. Which was fine by Deku; he wasn& #39;t a fan of the pomp and circumstance around "dating."
But with the way Baku was talking before...
"Fine," Deku says. "I guess it& #39;d be nice to have a clean apartment."

"That& #39;s my boy," Baku says, pulling Deku back against his chest and pressing a kiss to his green curls. Deku nuzzles Baku& #39;s pecs. "Now all we need to do is get a million garbage cans."
