“It’s us,” Izuku said, looking at the framed photo on Katsuki's nightstand.
“‘Why’?” Katsuki huffed out a laugh and met Izuku’s eyes. No point in being anything but honest. “Because I like looking at you.”
Izuku hesitated, and then asked again, “Why?”
“Because you’re fucking cute, okay?”
“You really haven’t figured it out yet?”
“Are you making fun of me?” Izuku said, narrowing his eyes.
Katsuki wished that’s all it was. He took a deep breath and admitted what he’d been holding in for years. “Jesus. I’m in love with you, asshole.”
