At first it was just a hug then it turned into holding hands, soon it turned into them holding one another as they fell asleep. Neither of them wanted them wanted this to end but one them was starting to realize that they want more.

Izuku Midoriya is still in his third year of UA when he finally realizes his feelings. He's been in love with Shoto Todoroki for years now, he always loved him hasn't he? It was the way that when they hugged for the for the first time that he first his face go red and how sweaty palms got. It was the way that whenever he saw Shoto that he would wring his hands together and try to hold back a smile.

He was down bad.

When Shoto had asked him to get some soba with him Izuku's mind went past the lines of friendship. He had never felt this way about anyone ever before, Izuku had to hold back his urge to grab Shoto's hand when they talked. He couldn't get his feelings off his mind especially when he fed Shoto katsudon.

This was just supposed supposed to be something normal that friends do why was he making it into such a big deal? Love. That's why. I'm in love with my best friend...

After finally realizing that this wasn't just some passing feelings he almost cried but brushed it out as rain on his face. Well it was rain and tears.

Shoto opened up the tub of ice cream when they got home and asked "Izu I got a new flavor for you to try." Leaning foward Izuku, without thinking, got the ice cream right off the spoon that Shoto was holding.

"I like it, but it's a bit to minty." Laughing at his reaction Shoto leaned against his shoulder and said "Mint is my favorite." Cautiously Izuku lifted up the spoon to Shoto's mouth and said "Mine is strawberry. Maybe we could have a day out together where we try eachother's favorite flavors..."

"I would like that." His voice sounded so innocent as he spoke. He must not have noticed that it sounded like I was asking him out...

"Maybe you could teach me your soba recipe." Shoto looked up at him with a smile twitching at the corner of his lips. Izuku scooped out some more ice cream for Shoto and held the spoon out to his lips. He watched as Shoto gave the scoop a few kitten licks before he got some for himself.

"You know that you're really cute when do that." The words slipped out of his mouth before he could stop them. Dropping the spoon he covered his face with his hands.

Shoto being the oblivious cat-like person he was said "Hm? When I do what?" Turning in Izuku's lap he put the sppon in the sink, but he went back to his position before and rested his head on Izuku's shoulder.

"It's when you... it's when eat the ice cream you act like a cat. It's adorable." Izuku silently cursed his mouth for saying that last part.

"If anyone else said that then I would freeze them, but since it's you I'll let it slide. I'll even encourage it." Now it was Shoto's turn to internally facepalm. That was to foward wasn't it? Fuyumi told me not to be too foward. I messed up.

"Really?" Izuku said peeking at Shoto from between his fingers, finally letting his hands drop from his face. He lifted Shoto's head from his shoulder so he could see his face, his face was a little red from how close their faces were but not as red as Izuku.

"Yeah... I like it when I'm more cat-like than I am a person. It's something I slipped into after Endeavor started..." Shoto trailed off his hands balling up into fists.

"Hey- Hey! Stop thinking about that he's not here. I'm the only one here, just stop thinking about him. Think about us and Soba, our cat, think about her." Stroking Shoto's hair he started to mumble out soothing words into his hair. Shoto leaned into the touch and pressed his face into Izuku's chest, the fabric of his oversized hoodie smelled like him.

"Thank you Izuku I don't know where or who I'd be if you didn't come into my life. Please don't leave me." The last part of Shoto's sentence slipped out like a tear. Shoto's hand statted to clench up and ice formed on it, lifting up Shoto's hand Izuku lightly kissed his knuckles trying to bring his warmth back.

"You'll never have to worry about leaving you. I want to stay with you forever..." The last part came out from shaking, hesitant lips.

"Forever... why would you want to stay with me? I'm nothing more a nuisance, a danger to everyone I meet." Shoto said looking at Izuku his breath was shaky and his eyes had quickly become red-rimmed. His tears kept on falling onto Izku's hoodie but Izuku didn't care, he cared about Shoto.

"Shoto you're not a nuisance or a danger to me. You someone that I want to stay by my side everyday, someone I want to give good night kisses to before you go to bed. You're someone who makes me feel a way that I haven't felt for years. You're someone that I love, some I'll always love." The words came out quick and rushed but Shoto stopped crying and looked up at Izuku. Leaning foward, it took all of Shoto's will not to pull away, Shoto lightly pressed his lips to Izuku's "I love you too." The words came out slightly raspy from how little times Shoto said them.

"Come you need sleep. Let's go." Picking up Shoto Izuku laid on the bed and tucked him in "Stay with me?" He heard just before he got to the door.

"Of course." Walking over to the bed Izuku pulled off his hoodie and cuddled close to Shoto and pressed a kiss to his forehead before falling asleep.

A/N: Yeah I know this is a far cry from my other fics but I've had this idea stuck in my head for months now and I really wanted to share it.
