"I guess it's time to go home. "
Katsuki smiles.
"Nope. We have one more stop to make."
Katsuki planned out every detail for this date. Everything. He knew where they would go, when then would leave, what streets they would walk on, what food they would eat, everything.
So when Izuku asked if they were going home, Katsuki knew his answer would surprise him yet again.
"Are we going to get dinner? I know we ate lunch kinda late in the day."
That was true, they ate lunch around 2pm, it had only been 3.5 hours since they ate last, and neither of them were particularly hungry. But he had planned for that too. He has also checked the weather report more times that he could remember. It was going to be a clear night, no clouds, no rain. Perfect for where they were going to go to next.
"You'll see" Katsuki said.
He was waving down a cab. When a car showed up he went over to the drivers side, and talked to the driver about their next stop in hushed tones to make sure the surprise wasn't leaked. When the driver confirmed he could get them there, he opened the door for Izuku to get inside.
"I figured we'd drive.. so you can rest your feet."
Izuku beamed up at him. Katsuki was being so nice, and so full of kindness and consideration today. He had never seen this side of him before. He was pretty sure no one had. And he felt really, really happy. Although he was happy as can be, he couldn't help but think about how Kacchan would change back to the person he normally is when they get back to the dorms.
Although they shared a kiss or two on this date.. he was still confused about what he was to him. He wasn't his boyfriend. He really wanted to be. But he also wanted to wait until Katsuki ready.. whenever that would be. He never wanted this day to end.
"Hey.. you alright? No spacing out Nerd."
Katsuki noticed a shift in the way Izuku was acting. It was small, but he could tell something was in his mind.
"Oh nothing. I'm fine.. just thinking. That's all"
Katsuki wasn't going to pry. If he said he was fine, he was fine. He didn't want to ruin the moment.
They were driving for almost 45 minutes and both boys were looking out the window. After awhile Izuku starts to recognize where they were.
"What are we doing back in our neighborhood Kacchan?"
"You'll see"
When the car stopped they were at a park. Again, Bakugo pays and they get out. he has paid for everything. Izuku tried to offer to pay, but Katsuki wouldn't let him. It was almost 6 pm and there was what looked like a festival going on. There was a sign at the entrance.
"Shoot for the stars?"
Izuku read the sign and was so confused. He had no idea what was going on. He knew it had to be something.
"Are we at the right place? I've never seen this before."
"Mmhmm. Lets go."
As they were waking around, they started to pass by different booths. Each both had different types of artwork, all of the art was space themed.
"Is this an art walk?"
"Yup"
"But why are all the pieces about space.. and the stars?"
Katsuki smiled. Izuku would know soon enough. But he was a little nervous.
"You want to leave? I mean.. I know art may not be your thing.."
"No no! Please I am enjoying looking at everything. I'm just not sure what..."
His voice trailed off and Katsuki saw what he was looking at. He finally realized why they came.
"There's a meteor shower tonight??!!"
"There sure is young man! And up on the hill right there, is the best place to see it tonight!"
One of the artists heard what he said while starting at their booth. The artist had painted a picture of a man proposing to a woman with a meteor shower in the background. Above the photo was a sign that said: "Shoot for the Stars, 20XX Meteor Shower Art Walk."
"Oh Kacchan!! That's why we're here??"
Izuku turned to Katsuki and again, had those pesky tears forming in his eyes. He hugged Katsuki around the waist, and Katsuki embraced him back. Staring down at him for a moment, he then lifted up his face, and wiped away his tears with his thumbs.
"What did I tell you about crying Nerd? Yes, we're going to watch the Meteor Shower.. that is.. if you want to."
Izuku looked up at him again with excitement and love in his eyes. The tears in his eyes were slowly stopping. He has always loved seeing shooting stars. When they were kids, he remembered that they came to this park once. It was a day he'd never forget.
—-smol Flashback to 10 years prior—-
"KACCHAN!! Waiit!!"
Katsuki was running up the hill, and like always Deku was following him. All of Katsuki's other friends had gone home. It was getting dark, and Izuku wanted to go home to.. but not without Kacchan.
"Just a little further!! I want to see if we can see my house from up here!"
Katsuki was aware of how dark it was, and knew that they should head back, but he was a little lost. He had lead Deku to a place where he thought he would be able to show him the newest thing he could do with his quirk. All of his other "friends" had gone home, but Katsuki wanted to show SOMEONE, and Deku was someone. He had learned how to blast himself up like he was flying. And the trees in the area they were at were really tall. He wanted to show Deku how high he could blast himself. But.. he got lost. So he was hoping he could see his house from the top of the hill so they knew how to get home.
When they got to the top of the hill, Katsuki waited for Izuku to catch up.
"Look what I learned!"
And he blasted himself up into the sky.. secretly looking for his house. Thankfully he saw it.
"That's so cool Kacchan!!"
Although he was scared, he still looked at Katsuki with such amazement and wonder in his eyes. Like everything that blonde did, he was just in awe.
"Okay, we can go home now." Katsuki said.
"Can we sit here for a little bit? I'm tired.. going up this hill was.. a little uh.. hard for me.." Izuku said looking down at his feet.
Although he didn't want to admit it, Katsuki was also a little winded. So he agreed.
"Fine.. but not too long.. Mama and Auntie Inko are going to yell at us for being out so late."
Both boys sat down and were catching their breaths and admiring the view.
As they were sitting on the hill, Izuku's eyes got really wide and he looked at Katsuki, who had also seen what made Deku so excited.
"DID YOU SEE THAT??"
"Duh! It was a shooting star.. I've seen one before.."
He lied.
"We need to make a wish Kacchan!"
"A wish??"
"Yea!" Izuku exclaimed. "When you see a shooting start you're supposed to make a wish!"
Katsuki looked over at Izuku with a smirk on his face.
"Fine. We gotta close our eyes. That's how wishes work.. or at least that's how I think they work."
Both boys closed there eyes and made their wish.
"You make your wish Deku?"
"Yup!!"
"Good, lets go home."
Both boys started to make their way back home. As they were about to part ways to head to their houses, Izuku looked over at Katsuki.
"So.. What did you wish for?"
"It's a secret! I can't tell you Deku!"
"Oh...okay.. goodnight Kacchan"
Izuku looked down and started to head back, when he felt a hand on his arm.
"What did you wish for?"
Izuku smiled.
"I wished that one day you and I would be Pro Hero's together! And that you would be #1 like you've always wanted!"
Katsuki looked at him with almost smiling.
"Like that will ever happen you Quirkless Deku! You'll never be a hero! I'll be number one though."
Izuku nervous laughed. "I guess you're right.. It's kinda silly for me to wish that huh?...good night Kacchan."
As he was walking home Katsuki was thinking about his own wish. He also wished that he would be a great hero, and he also really hoped Deku got a quirk.. so they could be hero's together.. but he'd never tell him that of course.
—-smol flashback over—
"Of course I want to see the shower with you Kacchan!" He smiled.
"Good" Katsuki then brought his face towards him for a quick kiss.
"Lets keep going, we got more art to see"
They walked around the park looking at all of the booths. The artwork was really good. As it started to get dark, they made there way over to a food vender that was selling Yakisoba and pork buns.
"You hungry?"
Izuku's stomach growled. He didn't realize just how hungry he really was until he started to smell the food coming from the food venders station.
"Yesss so hungry."
Katsuki ordered two Yakisoba's, and two pork buns. He also got them drinks. When the food was ready they decided to make their way up the hill to eat. Katsuki was walking kinda fast. He wanted to make sure there was a good spot for them to sit and see the meteor shower.
Izuku was reminded again of that day 10 years ago. He's always seems to be chasing after the blonde.
Katsuki found the perfect spot. As they ate, they mainly talked about the different art they saw, and what was their favorites. Since Katsuki didn't want to give the ending of their date away, he didn't have a blanket for them to sit on. So after they were done eating, Katsuki took off his button down shirt and put it on the ground under his head. He invited Deku to lay his head on his chest.
There was music playing somewhere off into the distance that they calmly listened to as they waited for the meteor shower. After some time Izuku gasped.
"I saw one!! Did you see it Kacchan??"
Katsuki ran his hands through Deku's hair.
"Mmhmm.. you gunna make a wish?"
Izuku smiled and nuzzled close to Katsuki.
"Do you remember when we saw that shooting star when we were kids?"
Katsuki remembered that evening all too well. It was one of the reasons they were here tonight. He remembered even then, when they were just 8 years old, how happy it made Izuku when he saw just the one shooting star. He could only image how how I'd would make him to see a bunch of them.
"Mmhmm."
"What did you wish for Kacchan?"
Katsuki decided to sit up. Izuku moved with him and they were sitting side by side. He didn't respond.
"You don't have to tell me.. I'm sure you don't even remember." Izuku laughed nervously.
"I wished for something similar to what I wished for this time."
Izuku blushed. So he did remember. Izuku had to stop himself from almost crying again.
"W-What did you wish for t-tonight?"
Katsuki thought about messing with him and telling him it was a secret again. Part of him had the thought in the back of his mind that if he said it out loud, it wouldn't come true. He was old enough now to realize that wishing on stars is more for the fun of it all, and that it's not actually magic. But he really hoped it came true.
"I wished for us to become Pro Hero's together. And for us to be at the top.. and.."
Katsuki was too embarrassed to say the rest.
"And what?"
"That's it."
Izuku again couldn't stop the tears. He hugged Katsuki so tight. He wanted nothing more for them in the least, to fight together as pro hero's. And he was happy that Kacchan wanted that too.
"Hey Kacchan?"
"Yea?"
"You don't have to say it back.. but I want to say it again.."
Izuku takes a deep breath.
"I love you Kacchan. I love you so much. Today has been absolutely wonderful.. and I'm glad I got to spend the day before my birthday with you." Izuku wipes tears from his eyes as Katsuki draws him near for a kiss.
The words "I love you too" were on the tip of his tongue. He almost said it too. But instead, Katsuki just gave him a deep, and passionate kiss.
He will tell him eventually.
-time skip-
After the meteor shower, they walked to the train station and headed back to the dorms. Both boys were pretty tired so the ride back was rather uneventful.
As they got back to the dorms they some how managed to creep back in without being noticed. Katsuki walked Deku back to his room.
"Oh here, I almost forgot. Here's the tote bag from Hero Land.. you can have it."
Izuku beamed up at him. "Thank you Kacchan!"
"Don't mention it." Katsuki slightly blushed.
"Well.. good night.. see you tomorrow Izu"
Before walking back to the elevator, they shared one more sweet kiss.
When Izuku went inside his dorm he finally decided to look into the tote bag. What he saw inside the bag caused tears to come again. Inside the bag was the limited edition All Might figure they were trying to win. Kacchan must have bought it when he was getting them ice cream.
He snapped a photo of it and sent it to the blonde.
