Pretty Red String • Bakugou Katsuki

im SOBBING i love childhood bkdk. i love them so much. im sobbing so hard god I LOVE THEM!!! 💔💔

Izuku and Katsuki get partnered up on an assignment in which they have to take turns giving the other a compliment, up until a hundred compliments have been given.

It starts off with a begrudging "Your control of Blackwhip is getting better, I guess."

But it gets homoerotic so damn fast that by compliment #42-43 they're like "Your back muscles are a work of ART, Kacchan" and "I bet you could bench press me for HOURS, Deku".

Their classmates are kind of scared to find out what they're gonna be saying by the time compliment #100 rolls around.

reverse hanahaki au wherein the one you love is the one who blooms flowers. also no one dies.

izuku growing up with only yarrows from inko. everlasting love. they are the first flowers he’s ever had blooming in him—the first he collected. he saw their little buds and knew they are from his mother’s, and izuku hopes his flowers for her are just as beautiful.

they are. inko blooms sunflowers from him. adoration.

. . .

when izuku meets katsuki, he blooms white gardenias. inko giggled when izuku showed her his flowers from katsuki, blushing brightly. you are lovely.

he wonders what his flowers for katsuki are, and if he likes them as much as izuku loves his. (purple delphinium. first love. katsuki strongly does.)

when he turns ten, he stopped blooming gardenias. izuku waits, seeing if katsuki would have more flowers for him. but he is empty, and izuku goes back to only having yarrows. he cries that night, holding onto the jars filled with dried gardenias.

(katsuki stopped blooming delphiniums. a week later, a blue salvia flutters from his throat. i think of you.)

. . .

it’s years later when izuku meets all might that yarrows are joined by different flowers again. blue iris from toshinori. faith and hope, a flower for izuku’s long journey.

and when izuku gets into ua, more flowers unfurl in him—a garden in his own right.

white jasmines from ochako. sweet love.

heathers from tenya. admiration and solitude.

freesias from tsuyu. thoughtfulness.

hydrangeas from shouto. thank you for understanding.

everyday, more flowers bloom in his being and izuku weeps at his friends’ love. thank you, he whispers, i love you too. his flowers for them convey the intensity of his feelings.

. . .

one quiet day when everyone is still asleep and the sun is barely breaching from the clouds, izuku coughs and coughs and coughs.

asphodel. i’m sorry.

purple hyacinth. forgive me.

pink camellia. i long for you.

red chrysanthemum. i love you.

with these flowers in hand, izuku runs to katsuki’s room. “kacchan?” he asks despite the coughs that threaten to scratch at his throat again.

(from inside his room, katsuki coughs out a heliotrope. eternal love. he stands. “yeah de—izuku?”)

x, x, x, x, x

Because I'm in love with him.

Happy birthday to my first love 😘 🎉

Reblogs are appreciated.

katsuki and Izuku literally are two childhood friends turned into rivals because they both think the other is better than themselves, both wanting each other's opinion and approval for their techniques (created inspired of or for each other btw), with Izuku fanboying about everything Katsuki does meanwhile Katsuki absolutely has no love interest whatsoever in the story and only cares about what Izuku's doing, thinking about, and finally only shows vulnerability in front of him since he trusts him the most and people expect me not to ship that shit???
