Chapter Text
“Suuukii~~” Sat lazily on the couch, the aforementioned man grunts, eyes focused on the paperback in front of him. He looks rather domestic, a dark-colored Hawaiian shirt on, pants his usual cargos. “Boyfriend! Acknowledge me!” He once again grunts, still extremely focused. Two soft hands press on his shoulders from above, pinkies held up. “What’re you doing?” The soft voice asks, Katsuki tapping his pencil to the paper.
“My sudoku,” He mutters, eyebrows pinched together. She doesn't respond which prompts him to lean his head back against the couch, red eyes connecting to brown. “Why are you smoking in here, I don't want to pay these people for random cigarette burns-” Her hands slide up to cup his face, Ochako smiling down at him.
“Weeelll,” She pauses, pressing her pinkies against his skin. So sneaky, she is, Katsuki floating above furniture before he can say no. He immediately begins his usual protest, but she cuts him off, still smiling. “You should follow me; I found something we can do out here-”
“What could you possibly find out here in bumfuck?” ‘Bumfuck’ being a secluded cabin in the woods; The two of them decided they needed some TLC, taking off a week to relax here. It was Katsuki’s choice, often more reserved than one would think. Next vacation is of her choosing, of course.
Upon reaching zero-gravity, he notices Ochako, too, is floating. She looks magical, her dress and hair flowing behind her so perfectly. She’s adorned in a rather short black dress, her usual soft pink accenting all of her accessories, down to her doll heels.
“Hehe,” She giggles and takes the cigarette from her lips, leaning down to kiss him. Kissing upside down is one of her favorite things to do, taking every chance she can get to do so. “Come with me, and you’ll find out,” She whispers, looking down at him.
He grins, sudoku long forgotten. “Then, let's go, pretty face,” She giggles at this, deactivating her quirk and rounding the couch to pull him up.
“You’re so simple,” He opens his mouth to protest this fact, but her lips meet his again. Hands move to her waist, but she quickly pulls away, that silly smile plastered on her features. “See?”
“Okay, you're starting to piss me off,”
“I know!” She hops over to the door of the cabin, a newfound energy, it seems. Her backpack, resting against the ajar door, is slung over her shoulder as she pushes the door open further. “You’re gonna love it, I promise!” She prances away, Katsuki’s shoes shoved on in a hurry as he jogs after her.
“Lady, SLOW DOWN!!”
“KEEP UP!”

Ten minutes later, the pair track through the forest. It's a beautiful view, the sun only just now beginning to set and glowing through the branches of the trees. There's a bit of a path, dirt separating grass and foliage that the couple walks on. The only problem is the bugs, many of the things buzzing near Katsuki’s sweaty body.
“Fuck, I’m gonna set this place on fire if a mosquito bites me,” He curses as he slaps another insect, irritated with how quickly he perspires.
“I thought I told you to put some spray on,” Ochako giggles, still giddy as he turns to her.
He frowns, recalling that. “That's the problem; I did.” He swats another from his face, fuming. “Must’ve sweat it off or some stupid shit like that,”
She’s amused, her smile wide. “Is that even possible?”
He glares at her, avoiding a particularly large tree root. “You're not helping-”
“We’re here!!” She suddenly stops, turning around to face Katsuki, a few paces behind. He tilts his head, squinting at her.
“...” He peers around her, eyes settling on a cave-like structure to the left of them. “I'm not going in there-” Ochako immediately puts her hands together in prayer, pleading.
“WHAT? Pleeaaseee Kats--”
“Fuck no,” He says sternly, looking away. She quirks an eyebrow, coming closer to him.
“Why not?”
“Because,” He crosses his arms over his chest, tapping his foot nervously. “I dun wanna,”
“You big baby, what's wrong?” Ochako asks, her smile faltering. He looks at her again, feeling his stomach flip while looking at that beautiful face. That face is concerned for him, making him flush.
“N...nothing's wrong, I just-” His eyes dart back to the cave. “All of this damn space, is there not anything else?”
She frowns, looking over her shoulder to her right. “Well...yeah, there's something over there; it's pretty similar to this--”
“Then, let's do that,” He huffs, avoiding eye contact with her. She puts a hand on his face, wiping a bead of sweat before caressing his cheek.
“I promise this is just as cool, I understand if you don't wanna,” She smiles softly, a beat of comfort for him. “But I do really think you’ll like it,”
His expression softens, unable to say no to her. “...Can we rock paper scissors for it?” He says this very seriously, though, Ochako has to bite her lip to stop herself from laughing.
“R-rock paper scissors?? Really?”
“Yes, unless you want me to blast this place into ashes,” Ochako rolls her eyes, but takes her hand away, her other palm face up.
“Okay, then, let's do it,” He follows suit, hands in position.
“Rock-”
“Paper-”
“Scissors-”
“Shoot--!”
