Izuku sat snug on his bed, having his covers wrapped around him like a cuddly cocoon while scrolling through his phone to see what newest hero fight was. Though suddenly his phone started blaring, someone was calling him. Who would call him in the middle of the night?
RING RING RING RING– With a sigh Izuku picked up the phone before mumbling out a confused, "Hello?"
For a quiet long second Izuku couldn't hear anything from the other side other than some rustling. He was about to repeat himself when suddenly he finally got a answer from a very familiar grumpy sounding voice.
"Nerd, I screwed up with some shit.. Tried calling Shitty hair but that bastard didn't pick up. Help me out will ya?" Katsuki said in his as ever annoyed tone.
At the sound of the blonde's words Izuku frowned for himself in his darkly lit room. Usually Kacchan went to bed early and sleeped fully through the night, so it was a surprise that he even was awake at this hour.. but also most of all he was kinda in disbelief that the guy had screwed up so bad that he had to go to him.
"What's the magic word, Kacchan?" Izuku said with a bit of a chuckle from his side of the line.
A loud pissed off groan was heard coming through Izuku's phone at that and Izuku tried keeping in his laughter.
"Oh you fucking–.. You know what, if you wanna here it that damn badly then yeah, please help me the fuck out, Izuku." Katsuki said harshly.
Seriously a couple years ago Izuku would be shacking in his boots at that tone coming from the spiky hot headed blonde, think how much could change, or how much their relationship to one another had changed.
"Mm! Okay, of course I would help you out!" Izuku started out with saying cheerfully before his tone shifted into something a bit more questioning as he then added:
"But uh- what exacly did you 'screw' up with?"
There past another dragged out silence of a couple of seconds and because of that Izuku started feeling a bit nervous for what was about to come. After all Katsuki was usually always so direct and straight forward so the pause made him a tad bit anxious.
"I.. got hit pretty hard in the back during our hero combat lesson by Bird brain and Shadow fuck.. And I can't sleep because of the pain.."
Katsuki sounded softer than usual while saying it, though there heavily layed insecurity and self blame over his words.
"Oh Kacchan.." Izuku mumbled out loud to mostly himself. "I'm gonna grab some stuff and head over to your room, okay, and help you out as much as I can with that."
"You're always too damn caring.. Thanks, Izuku. For helping me. I'm going fucking nuts here."
Izuku got up from his bed and left his covers to lay on the mattress as he went and started gathering some stuff to bring with him.
"Mm.. see you, I'll get there quickly Kacchan. Hold out just a bit more. Bye.."
After the sound of a bye from the other side of the call Izuku ended it and pushed his phone into one of the front pockets of the sweatpants he was wearing.
And so with that he grabbed all his medical stuff he could find inside his drawers before rushing his way out into the dark hallway of the second floor and to the elevator to make his way up to the forth floor of the class 2-A dormitory.
The hard metal doors of the elevator finally opened up to another dark halway, though there was some light that filtered underneath one wooden dorm room door. Kacchan's room.
Izuku made his way over, his footsteps being the only sound as eveything was as always so earily quiet during the night compared to how the dorm was during the lith up hours.
When the freckled faced teen stood infront of his rival and somewhat friend's door he sucked in a deep breath through his nose before raising his hand up to knock onto the firm surface, now waiting for the other to let him inside.
There was heard footsteps from inside the room, and at that Izuku's grip somewhat tightened around his medical box. The anticipation building up inside of him.
And then without any real warning the door was opened and the face of his childhood friend was on the other side as anticipated. The nervousness that had formed in the pit of his stomach dimmed away at the sight of those sharp red eyes.
"Are you just gonna stand there or get inside already?" Katsuki said, though despite the kinda harsh wording his voice was mostly tired.
Izuku let out a bit of a nervous laugh and quickly replied with, "Uh yeah of course..", before making his way past Katsuki in the doorway to get inside of the others room.
Believe it or not Izuku had never actually been inside of the blonde's dorm room before, heck not even having seen it, so it felt a tad bit strange to be in here. Though there was also a slight excited tingling feeling in his stomach at being let inside the other teen's personal space.
Izuku took a quick check around, wanting to memories somewhat what was inside of here. There was a bunch of posters covering the walls of different bands and heroes, when it came to around heroes it mostly was All Might–
"Stop fucking snooping around and help me out damn it." Katsuki's voice said with a annoyed tone with just a pinch of embarrassment.
Izuku's train of thought was quickly caught off by the blonde's sentence, his focus quickly averting over to where Katsuki sat on the bed now.
Kacchan meet Izuku head on, locking his red gaze with the nervous dork's own green ones.
"That's the whole reason for you coming here, remember?"
Izuku swallowed before nodding quickly. He then made his way over to the bed and sat himself on the other side of it to not intrude on Katsuki's personal space.
The green haired teen scratched the back of his neck before saying:
"So.. let's get started. How bad is it?"
As he said that he scotted closer so he could try and take a look, though it was kinda difficult with the blonde having his shirt on.
Izuku chuckled awkwardly before pointing out:
"Kacchan.. you have to take off your shirt, sorry.."
Katsuki looked back over his shoulder to glance back at Izuku with a annoyed frown on his face.
"Tch, dont tell me what to do.." He grumbled out before turning himself back around and lifting off his black tank top over his head and laid it down by the foot of the bed.
Izuku smiled softly as Katsuki followed what he had asked, happy that the other guy was being cooperative. Expecially since he was here to help his friend out.
Though as his eyes traveled down to Katsuki's back his smile immediately got replaced by a sad frown, Tokoyami and Dark shadow had taken a real number on him.. The hot head's back was darkly bruised and slightly torn up with dried blood still lingering in the edges of the claw marks.
"Awch.. Tokayami sure didn't hold back.." Izuku said as he started digging through his medkit to find a wound wash and some cotton balls to clean away all the blood and dirt.
Katsuki didn't really respond but just shrugged a bit, seemingly not wanting to talk about how the bird looking man totally swepped the floor with him during class today.
Though instead Katsuki suddenly winces at the buring sensation going over his wounds.
"AH- hey fucking give me a damn warning before you start that shit, YOU bastard!" He hissed out as he glanced a sharp angry glare over his shoulder back over towards the freckled cheeked guy sitting right behind him now.
Izuku squirmed a bit as those hot red eyes meet his, a spark running down his spine.
"MM! Sorry Kacchan, but I have to do this.. or it might get infected." Izuku said with a apologetic smile while slightly tilting his head to the side.
Katsuki let out a scoff before turning himself back around, knowing damn well that Izuku was right with that.
"And.. Kacchan, promise me you will go to Recovery Girl tomorrow. Please.." Izuku whispered out as he leaned back in to continue on carefully dotting the cotton pad against the firey blonde's wounds.
"Tch.. whatever, I had that already planned Izuku." Katsuki grumbled out with a bit of a annoyed pout on his lips as he felt the stinging feeling of the wound wash.
Izuku hummed softly in response as he continued on doing his job. After a while he was finally done with washing it all and so threw away the cotton pad and started going through the stuff he had brought with him for what he needed next.
"Aha! Found it!" The freckled nerd said while he pulled up a punch of bandaids, but not just any bandaids... THEY WERE ALL MIGHT BANDAIDS!!
"Ta-da!~" He said happily while showing them off to the other teen, a big grin on his face.
Katsuki's eyes at first widned for a second, a glem of almost excitement in them, before he quickly scrunched his face up in his usual grumpy expression.
"The hell? Are you a kid or something?"
Though Izuku being the way he is had quickly been able to analyse Katsuki, the messy green haired boy always being able to read the blonde like a book. For the most part.
"Come on Kacchan! I know you like them. Aaaand they are limited edition so.."
–
"I already fucking know they are limited edition, nerd... just shut the hell up already.."
Izuku let out a bit of a chuckle at that while scratching the side of his face slightly. After that he went on and started putting on the bandaids over Katsuki's wounds.
"Mm so all good!.." Izuku said as he gave Katsuki's shoulder a soft patt.
Though Izuku's filter was more or less gone when it was late and he was tired, so he just said what poped up in his brain.
"Or do I have to kiss it better aswell?" He had added, though his mind quickly registered what the heck he had just said and quickly slapped his scar covered hands over his mouth.
Izuku watch on in horror as Katsuki moved his head slowly and very menacingly to now be able to glare at him.
–oh he was so dead wasn't he?
"The hell?" Katsuki grumbled out lowly while taking a judging look up and down over Izuku frame.
"Why would you wanna do that? Tch– you like me or something?
"Uh– wait uh", Izuku started rushing out as he scotted backwards to creat some distance between him and the blonde, a strong flush quickly creeping up his face.
"I uh.. NO! Uh like I do like you.. BUT not like that... I swear on All Might!" Izuku mumbled quickly out, hopping that would be convincing.
Though it clearly didn't work as when Izuku dared peak over at Katsuki he clearly didn't look convinced at all. Dang it..
He then shut his eyes and waited for the inevitable doom that was gonna be Kacchan's response..
"Then why did you say that? It makes no fucking damn sence why you would 'kiss it better' if you didn't have a crush on me.."
Whelp.. that wasn't exacly what he had expected the other to say.. He then opened his eyes again as he was a bit shocked and he let out a bit of a gasp at the sight infront of him.. Katsuki now turned towards him, looking away as he tried to keep up his annoyed facade but even so there still was a bit of a tint of red covering the tip of his ears..
"Uhm.. Do you want me to kiss you?"
Katsuki's face snapped hardly back towards him as he then said:
"HA?! Like hell I want your fucking chipped ass lips anywhere near me, IZUKU!
At that comment Izuku raised his hand to press a finger against his lip, wanting to see if they really was chipped like Katsuki stated.. like yeah they where a little dry but not to that extreme.
"Yeah.." Izuku mumbled out quietly while he looked away to the side, feeling how his cheeks warmed up with embarrassment.
He then abruptly cleared his throat as he scrambled quickly off the bed to now be standing up. "Then uh.. I GUESS I SHOULD BE GOING THEN!!!"
After rushing that out the messy haired teen quickly grabbed all his belongings, holding them thightly in his arms before with a fast pace making his way over to the door.
"BYE Kacchan..!" Izuku voiced with a slight hint of nervousness in it as he swinged the wooden door open, glancing quickly back over to the blonde who was sitting on the bed completely frozen in shock and confusment at his sudden movement. His green round eyes quickly averted down to take a peak at his rivals muscular chest for the last time before shutting the door close before Katsuki could even respond back.
And so Izuku was now back in the silent dark hallway of the forth floor, feeling a loneliness start steering in his chest but at the same time that was overriden by a strong sence of relief about getting out from Katsuki's room.
He stood still for a bit, feeling how his heart beat went down to normal and let out a sigh.
Izuku turned his head back to look at the surface of Katsuki's dorm room door, hopping his friend's wounds are able to get better during the night. So with that he started making his way back to his own room for a night of sleep while being aware of the soft tingle in his fingers of having been able to touch the smooth skin that belonged to Kacchan.
