Izuku isn't sure what he expected from the school field trip. Everyone has told him that it's totally amazing – the kids have a wonderful time and even the other teachers enjoy themselves – but when he sees that he's partnered with Katsuki for the day he's unsure if it's going to be as great as everyone has told him. He knows before they even leave the school that it is going to be an awkward day as Katsuki has been avoiding him ever since the night they kissed in his car. Izuku wishes that they had talked about it, even if it was to say that they should forget it even happened – it would make spending the day together so much easier – but he sure as hell wasn't going to push the issue before the trip otherwise the two of them would just end up fighting. Now that they're forced together, however, it seems as if a fight is inevitable.
"Oi Deku stop spacing out and read the damn map," Katsuki hisses, glaring at him.
Gritting his teeth Izuku forces himself to smile. "I'm not spacing out, I'm trying to figure out where we are in relation to the map."
Katsuki rolls his eyes. "Can you not even read a map properly?"
"I can read a map just fine," Izuku snaps back. "I just can't seem to find where we are on this particular map."
Another eye roll answers that. "Jesus, give me that," Katsuki says and snatches the map of the botanical gardens from Izuku, beginning to pour over it trying to work out where they're supposed to be on it. As he scans all the cutesy notes around the edge of the map, trying to discover where it says they are he notices out of the corner of his eye one of the girls come up to tug on the hem of Izuku's coat.
"Mr Midoriya why does Mr Bakugou look so angry?"
Izuku shoots a glare over at Katsuki, clearly annoyed that even the children have noticed that something is wrong. "He's just a little frustrated because we're not sure where we are."
"I know exactly where we are," Katsuki says through gritted teeth.
"I don't think you do," Izuku mutters.
"Is Mr Bakugou angry because he's hungry?" she asks without even a hint of irony, which is what makes it even funnier.
"Are you hungry?" Izuku asks, trying not to laugh especially when he catches a look at the expression on Katsuki's face.
"Yeah."
"Okay well then let's all sit down and have some lunch and then we can try and find where we are once we've eaten," Izuku says to the children, smiling brightly and sitting down on the grass, the children following suit.
"I know exactly where we are," Katsuki grumbles again as he sits down next to Izuku.
With a sigh Izuku slowly counts to ten internally, trying not to completely lose his temper in front of the children. He knew that this would be awkward because of the feelings he's been harbouring for Katsuki, however he didn't realise that it would be a problem because Katsuki was going to piss him off so much. When they arrived at the botanical gardens this morning the possibility of them getting lost hadn't occurred to him (mostly because they were supposed to have a map) but now they have. Maybe they wouldn't have gotten the group so lost if the two of them hadn't been bickering since they first arrived.
"If you know where we are then what's the problem?" Izuku asks.
Shoving the map at him Katsuki shoots him a glare. "The problem is this map is out of date," he snaps. "Where did you even get this?"
"Kirishima gave it to me," Izuku mumbles. "He said he had an extra one."
Now it's Katsuki's turn to patiently count to ten so that he doesn't start swearing. "Of course it was him you got this from."
"What's wrong with it?"
"It's from 2016 that's what's wrong with it," Katsuki tells him.
"Well how was I supposed to know it was out of date?" Izuku asks. "I've never been here before so I assumed it was fine."
Katsuki clenches his fist in an attempt to calm down. If they keep on arguing like this he's going to swear and then one of the kids will end up crying while another copies him and keeps repeating it. "Haven't you learnt by now that he's a complete moron?"
"He's not a moron Kacchan, that's rude," Izuku scolds, also very aware that there are a lot of impressionable children sitting close by.
"I knew you'd do something to mess this up," Katsuki huffs.
"Well if you were so sure of that then why didn't you pick up a map of your own?" Izuku snaps, his irritation getting the better of him.
Before Katsuki has the chance to come up with an answer a girl with sandy coloured pigtails, Mahoro, comes up to them. "Hey Mr Midoriya are you fighting with Mr Bakugou?" she asks. "Mrs Kirishima says that we're not supposed to fight with our friends."
"We're not fighting," Izuku lies. Despite his irritation with Katsuki he knows that he should be keeping his head in a situation where impressionable children are nearby. "We're just trying to figure out how we can find the others because we've just found out that the map we have is out of date."
"Because you got a map from an idiot," Katsuki hisses so that Mahoro can't hear and Izuku shoots him a sideways glare before turning back to Mahoro.
The girl thinks for a moment and then pulls a map out of her backpack, holding it up to Izuku. "You mean like this one?"
Both Izuku and Katsuki stare at her, their eyes wide. "Where did you get that?" Izuku asks when he finds his voice again.
"Got it at the entrance when we arrived," she says with a shrug. "Wanted to take one home to show my dad and my grandma."
"Can we use it so that we can get back to the entrance?" Izuku asks.
Mahoro narrows her eyes a little. "Will I get it back?" she asks.
"Of course you will squirt," Katsuki says, deciding not to point out that there are probably hundreds of others at the entrance. "We just need to borrow it."
She mulls this over for a moment. "What's in it for me?" she asks folding her arms and looking at them both smugly.
"Come again?" Katsuki asks.
"If I'm lending you my map so we can get back to the other groups then I have some conditions," she replies.
"Now Mahoro you really should be doing things to be helpful not so that you can get something in return," Izuku says frowning.
"That's not what Mr Bakugou told us," she says. "Mr Bakugou said that if we have something valuable then we should make sure to bargain for it and it seems like my map is pretty valuable right now."
Izuku looks at Katsuki with a raised eyebrow. "Did he now?"
"I'll admit that wasn't my finest moment," Katsuki mutters.
"You think?"
"So I want to bargain for the use of my map," Mahoro says looking very proud of herself.
"Alright squirt, what do you want?" Katsuki asks.
"I want to be the first one to use the new paintbrushes when we get them cause the other ones are all hard and gross," she replies matter of factly.
"Done," Katsuki tells her. "Now can we have the map please?"
She frowns at him. "Shake on it."
"What?"
"It's not a proper contract unless you shake on it or get it in writing," she says. "You told us that."
"What have you been teaching them?" Izuku asks.
Katsuki ignores him but instead holds his hand out to her. "You've got yourself a deal," he says as she shakes his hand.
Beaming she hands Izuku the map. "Here you go Mr Midoriya."
"Thank you, we'll use it to get back to the others when we've finished having lunch," Izuku says.
"Okay," Mahoro says with a grin and trots back off to her friends to finish eating.
"That's great," Izuku says, instantly relaxing, "now we have a map so that we can rejoin the others."
"Yeah we can," Katsuki agrees.
"Do you think the two of us should maybe call a truce?" Izuku asks. He holds out his hand to Katsuki, a small smile on his face. "I know things have been a bit weird between us but I'd like to just put it all behind us and start afresh."
Katsuki pauses for a moment. He doesn't know if he wants to start from scratch as if they're meeting for the first time or if he wants to say fuck it and just tell Izuku that he likes him but either way this is not the time or the place to be having that conversation. Instead he takes Izuku's hand and shakes it, giving him a wide grin as he does.
"Yeah okay, let's start over."
After lunch, using Mahoro's map, Izuku and Katsuki manage to get their group back to the others with no more arguments. The rest of the day continues with hardly any more problems and Izuku finds that he's enjoying himself tremendously now that he and Katsuki are on friendly terms. By the end of the day he's exhausted and longing to be back in his bed. Now that he and Katsuki are speaking again they even sit next to each other on the journey home. Finally letting his guard down enough for the tiredness to overcome him Izuku lets his eyes slip closed and before he knows it he's asleep.
Staring out of the window once Izuku's chatter goes quiet Katsuki feels a soft thunk against his shoulder not long after. Looking round he sees Izuku sleeping soundly against him. He looks so soft and adorable that Katsuki wants nothing more than to lean down and gently kiss the top of his head. Obviously he's not going to do that though. For one thing it would be weird as he hasn't had the chance to admit his growing feelings for Izuku yet and for another he's surrounded by nosey children and their colleagues who will definitely notice.
"Hey Mr Bakugou," Katsuma, Mahoro's younger brother, says turning around in his seat to look at them. "Mr Midoriya fell asleep on you."
"Yeah I know squirt, shh," Bakugou whispers, grinning at him. "It's been a long day and we've still got the journey home. You must be tired too."
"Yeah, kinda."
"Well why don't you get some sleep as well then," Katsuki suggests. "It will make the journey go faster and we've still got a way to go."
"Okay." Katsuma grins, turning back around to settle himself into his seat.
As he tries to stay as still as possible so that he won't wake Izuku Katsuki gently brushes his fingers over the back of his hand, absently counting the freckles on the back of it. Why has he been so stubborn all this time when all he wants is to be able to call Izuku his and keep him close? He's already had to say goodbye to Izuku once in the summer and if he doesn't get his act together then he's going to have to do it again – because why would he stick around after the way Katsuki has been treating him? – and Katsuki knows that he can't let that happen. Izuku is far too precious to him despite how it may have come across.
"Hey Deku," he whispers so softly that even Izuku wouldn't hear him if he was awake. "I like you."
When they arrive back at school later that night it's dark and everyone is exhausted. There's no rest for the wicked though as the teachers are all still on duty, waiting until the kids have all been collected. It takes at least half an hour but once all the children have been sent off with their parents Katsuki comes to find Izuku where he's standing a little way away from the bus. He holds up his car keys and gives Izuku's hair a ruffle.
"Hey Deku, you want a lift home?" he asks. "It's late."
Izuku stares at him for a moment. "Um sure, if you don't mind."
"Nah I don't mind," Katsuki says. "Was wondering if we could talk maybe."
Colour rises in Izuku's cheeks as the implication of Katsuki's words sinks in. "Um... yeah... I'd like that."
"If you've got all your shit we can get going if you want," Katsuki says.
"Sure, I'm ready," Izuku says, his heart skipping a little in his chest.
"Then let's go."
As Katsuki leads him towards his car Izuku is suddenly stopped by the sound of Ochako calling after him. "Hey Midoriya!"
"Oh hey Ochako," Izuku says turning towards her, smiling. "Is everything okay?"
"Yeah just wondered if you wanted a lift home," she says. "Eiji's got the car and I know you've got a way to go from here. We can drop you off so you don't have to walk it."
Izuku flushes. "Um actually Bakugou said he was going to drive me home."
A cheeky grin spreads over Ochako's face. "Oh really? And is there any particular reason for wanting to take him up on it?" she asks although it's clear from her tone that she already knows the answer.
Izuku rubs the back of his neck. "Oh nothing, we just wanted to talk about stuff that happened today."
"About how you were sleeping on him on the way back to school?" she giggles.
"No," Izuku mumbles, cheeks burning.
"Well I hope it works out for you," she says and gives his hand a squeeze. "I really do."
"Thanks."
"You coming De... Midoriya?" Katsuki asks, catching himself when he sees Ochako standing there.
"Yeah," Izuku says smiling brightly. He turns back to Ochako. "See you later."
That cheeky grin is back on her face as Ochako waves to the pair of them. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!"
"What was that all about?" Katsuki asks as the two of them get in the car.
"Oh nothing," Izuku says hurriedly, thankful that his red face won't be seen in the dark. "She was just saying goodnight."
"Sure she was."
Neither of them really talks all that much on the drive to Izuku's house because they're both furiously trying to work out what they want to say to the other. Katsuki has never been good with words and he knows it and Izuku doesn't want to run the risk of saying something to make Katsuki run away again. When they finally pull up outside Izuku's house Katsuki switches off the ignition and turns to look at him. Smiling shyly at him Izuku waits with bated breath, waiting for Katsuki to start talking thinking that it's best if he begins this conversation. Finally, after what seems like forever, Katsuki reaches forward and brushes soft hair out of emerald green eyes.
"Hey Deku," he says, his voice barely above a whisper.
"Hey Kacchan."
"I'm sorry."
"What for?" Izuku asks.
"For everything," Katsuki replies. "For today and for everything else that's happened since the summer."
"Kacchan it's okay," Izuku says. "I get what you were talking about. Us being together and working together just makes everything complicated."
Katsuki turns to him and takes his hand. "But I realised that I want complicated," he says. "I was being fucking stubborn and a stupid ass. I want you, I want to be able to call you mine and if you're willing to forgive me for being such a fucking jackass over the last few months I'd really like to take you out. We could pick up where we left off in Takenohama if you want to but I also get it if you don't."
Silence hangs heavy in the car for a long moment and Katsuki thinks that Izuku is going to walk out without a word. Honestly he wouldn't blame him if he did at this point, what he's asking for is selfish and self indulgent and he knows it. Then he feels a soft hand on his cheek. Izuku turns his face so that he can press his lips to Katsuki's in a long kiss.
"Does that answer your question?" Izuku asks, a sweet smile on his face. "I tried to move on and forget about you and what we had because I thought that was what you wanted but there's been this part of me that couldn't. I like you Kacchan. Well I more than like you actually, I want to be with you just like it was in the summer."
A huge grin spreads over Katsuki's face. "So where do we go from here?"
"How about we go inside?" Izuku offers, his smile turning shy once more.
Katsuki's heart jolts. That's an invitation to come in for sex – it's clear by the tone of his voice and the look in his eye – and Katsuki definitely wants to. He nods, trying to find his voice through the haze of lust creeping into his brain. "Yes please," he says. "If you're sure."
"I'm sure," Izuku says.
"Then let's go."
Getting out of the car Katsuki follows Izuku to his front door, waiting patiently for him to pull out his keys so he can open it. Skin prickling with desire Katsuki leans down and presses a kiss to Izuku's neck and enjoys watching him shiver.
"Ka... Kacchan," Izuku gasps as he finally manages to get the door open and drags him inside, not wanting to wait any longer. "Want you."
"Want you too gorgeous," Katsuki says.
Grabbing the front of his shirt Izuku pulls him forward and slams their lips together. It catches Katsuki briefly by surprise but he recovers himself quickly, kissing him back and wrapping his arms around him. Izuku groans into his mouth, clearly desperate as he begins to tug on Katsuki's clothes. The soft moans only get louder as Katsuki slips his tongue past Izuku's lips, backing him up against the wall of his hallway.
"Oh fuck," Izuku moans softly as Katsuki begins kissing down his neck to that spot that makes his knees give out from under him. "Kacchan!"
"Fuck, you sound so gorgeous when you're hot for me Deku," Katsuki groans. His cock is straining in his trousers as Izuku moans once again.
"Kacchan," Izuku gasps running his fingers through Katsuki's hair and tugging. "Want to feel you inside me, please!"
"Where's your bedroom?" Katsuki pants, desperately trying to keep his composure so that he can actually give Izuku what he wants rather than ending the night too quickly.
Taking his hand Izuku leads him to his bedroom, the journey interrupted every so often for kisses and discarding clothing. When they finally reach Izuku's bedroom Katsuki is stumbling out of his trousers and Izuku is taking off his boxers. A coy smile spreads over Izuku's face and he takes Katsuki's hand, leading him over to the bed. Before lying down with him Katsuki takes off the last of his clothes, leaving the both of them completely naked.
"You're gorgeous," he says softly as he runs his fingers down Izuku's arm.
"So are you," Izuku says. Leaning forward he presses a kiss to Katsuki's lips, moving so that he can straddle Katsuki's waist.
Smirking Katsuki runs his hands up Izuku's thighs. "You gonna ride me Deku?"
"Yeah," Izuku says. He leans forward so that he can retrieve a bottle of lubricant, giving Katsuki a faceful of his chest which he begins to press kisses to. This earns him a cute little squeak and makes him smirk against Izuku's skin.
"Want me to open you up?" Katsuki asks taking the bottle from him.
Izuku nods, cheeks flushed. "Yeah."
"Okay."
Squirting some lube onto his fingers he slips the first one in. Izuku's head falls forward against Katsuki's shoulder, shuddering at the sensation. With each thrust of his fingers he adds more, Izuku comes apart underneath him. It feels phenomenal to have Izuku moaning and writhing around him again. As he slips in a second and then a third finger he presses a kiss to Izuku's cheek as he cries out.
"You okay Deku?" he asks, his voice hot and heavy in Izuku's ear.
"Yeah," Izuku gasps. "I'm ready for you, please fuck me! I need it."
"Do you have a condom?"
"Yeah." Reaching out to his bedside table with trembling fingers Izuku finds a condom and opens it.
"You still want to ride me baby?" Katsuki asks as Izuku reaches behind himself and rolls the condom onto Katsuki's cock.
"Yeah," Izuku replies, panting. His cheeks are flushed and his pupils blown; he looks absolutely stunning and Katsuki knows that from now on he's never going to take his eyes off him again.
Leaning up to kiss him Katsuki slips his fingers from Izuku, swallowing his whimper of protest as he does. Not wanting to waste any more time not having him wrapped around him he slicks up his cock and slides inside Izuku.
Pulling back on a cry Izuku begins to rolls his hips, riding Katsuki at a hard and fast pace that takes Katsuki's breath away. "Oh god!"
"You okay baby?" Katsuki asks, holding Izuku close as he meets his thrusts.
"Yeah, feels so good," Izuku cries, clinging to him and clenching around him.
"So do you angel," Katsuki says. "So fucking tight and hot." Kissing Izuku's neck he wraps a hand around Izuku's cock, stroking it in time with his thrusts desperate to make Izuku come before he does.
"Oh god, Kacchan! I'm so close."
"Come for me Deku," Katsuki gasps, speeding up the movement of his hand as Izuku tightens around him. "Come on baby, wanna feel you."
Fingers digging into Katsuki's shoulders Izuku comes with a high cry, tightening even more around Katsuki's cock as he does. It feels amazing and tips Katsuki over the edge as well. As he comes he holds Izuku tightly, kissing him fiercely. It feels as if no time has passed since they were in Katsuki's hotel room in Takenohama on that first night and it's wonderful. His kisses turn softer as the two of them come down from their high and he pulls back to smile at Izuku, brushing his hair behind his ear.
"Hey you," he says.
"Hey," Izuku says back. "That was amazing."
"It was yeah," Katsuki agrees.
"So where do we go from here?" Izuku asks, running his fingers lightly over Katsuki's chest as if committing each curve and dip to memory.
"Well," Katsuki says, "I mean if you want we could try dating and see how that goes. I like you and I really don't want to let you go again."
A smile lights up Izuku's face. "I'd love that." Taking hold of Katsuki's face he leans forward and kisses him deeply. This is exactly where I'm supposed to be.
