    Summary

    When he finally raised his head and met Izuku’s gaze, he smiled. Izuku hated everything about that smile.

    “Maybe it’s about time we put an end to this, don’t you think, Izuku?”

    Another jolt of phantom-Danger sense.

    “Put an end to what?”

    “This.” Katsuki gestured between them. “Us. Or well, you and I. There hasn’t really been an us in a long time, I think.”

    Or, Izuku messes up. He fixes it. (On his hands and knees.)

    Summary

    (But I don't want to leave it that way.)

    -

    "What if we're not late bloomers?" Deku had asked him once when they were very young. “What if we don’t get our quirks? What if our quirks never come for our whole lives?”

    Katsuki hadn't been able to answer, then. All he'd known was that they'd be able to do anything together, even if the hero business tried to spit them out just because they were missing bits and pieces. That was until Deku'd told him the truth, anyway. That he'd been hiding a quirk for ten years and Katsuki had just been stupid and trusting.

    He doesn't get into UA. Deku leaves him behind and lives the dream alone. Katsuki picks up modelling and turns out to be surprisingly good at it, and after a while he thinks maybe he can make peace with never becoming a hero. This ain't a bad life, after all. There are stalkers and endless reporters but maybe he can make this work.

    For all of six years, anyway. Then he figures out his new neighbour has green eyes and cute freckles. And then, Katsuki thinks, maybe god hates him.
