Chapter Text
izuku always loved video games. every sense he was little. this guy would play just about EVERY SINGLE game someone bought him, wether he liked it or not! he would always 100% it. but, when minecraft released? jesus he doesnt really play anything else anymore! he loves the silly little block game, the amount of clothes and accessories he owns of minecraft merch can put some people to shame.
katsuki on the other hand? yea he liked video games, he will sit and play some minecraft or call of duty(zombies specifically) when he feels like it. but katsuki.. he.. he loves miku. hatsune miku. yes. the blue haired virtual popstar. the MOMENT he heard that voice we was in LOVE. so much so that he dyed his hair blue once in middle school. hes got 70+ miku figures, posters, and anything of the sort, does he like the other vocaloid? yes! of course he does! but for him miku tops them all.
katsuki and izuku met at comic con, izuku dressed in a dark blue shirt with the minecraft logo, black basketball shorts, spiderman socks and red shoes. and to top it off? a creeper bag littered with my little pony pins, invader zim, pokemon, memes, and just anything most people would consider "loser" material. katsuki was in a white hoodie, large ass baggy jeans and some blue shoes. he had a miku bag filled with miku plushies he has bought from the con, and a freddy fazbear plush hooked to his strap. the two boys bumped into eachother, both walking backwards as they did.
"fuck!" katsuki grunted, izuku groaned "damnnit...." rubbing his back as he turned to look at whoever he walked into, "sorry for bumping into you-" but he was rudely inturrupted. "is that a miku popsicle?" the blonde asked, eyes glued to the two unopened popsicles in izukus hand. izuku squinted, his green eyes suddenly shifted to the other boys bag, he hummed, "yes, yes it is" izuku hummed, he stood, holding his hand out for katsuki, who took it cautiously. "where did you get them from?" the blonde one asked, izuku smiled, opening one of the popsicles, "over at that booth, but these were the last two..." he sighed, looking down as he started to eat the one he opened. katsuki visibly looked upset, his shoulders shrunk in on themselves. izuku felt a little bad so he held the other popsicle in his hand out for the boy.
katuki looked at it, and he smiled softly, "are you sure?" he asked, his hand hovering, "i dont see why not, you would probably enjoy it more than me" izuku chuckled, already knawing on the other one in his mouth. katsuki let out a small noise of tryumph, taking the popsicle, holding it down. he took his phone out and taking a video of the blue wrapping. he put his phone back then opened the popsicle. he hummed as he started to eat it. izuku chuckled, eyeing the blonde infront of him. "miku fan huh?" he said, katsuki paused, he suddenly realized that he did inface have a miku bag full of miku on his shoulder, he laughed, nodding. "id say i am" katsuki smiled, "and... minecraft?" he continued, izukus eyes lit up, "fuck yes i am. this game is my life" izuku smiled wide, finishing off the popsicle. "you yearn for the mines?" katsuki hummed, izuku looked at him, and started to laugh. "you did not just say that!!!" the green eyed boy said, shaking his head. katsuki chuckled, watching as he laughed.
"whats your name?" izuku asked once he calmed down. the two boys had subconsiosly migrated to the nearest wall, leaning against it as they talked. "im katsuki bakugo" the blonde said, the con lobby was loud where they were standing, izuku hadnt quite caught the name. "kacchan?" he said, katsuki raised a brow, also due to the loudness of the con, he thought izuku had just said katsuki back to him. so he nodded, "yea, you?" izuku smiled, "izuku midoriya!" he said, pulling his phone out, katsuki looked confused, "deku?" izuku heard him say that, "deku? what?" izuku said, confused, "did you just call me deku?" he chuckled, katsuki raised a brow, "is that not what you said?" katsuki asked, izuku chuckled, "no i said izuku"
katsuki 'aah'ed' before looking at the boy. "how do you spell that?" he asked, izuku smiled softly, "i-z-u-k-u!" katsuki hummed, "thought so!" izuku chuckled, "well, how do you spell yours?" izuku said, looking at the blond boy. "k-a-t-s-u-k-i" he said, leaning his shoulder on the wall. izuku made an 'ooh' sound. katsuki raised a brow, "i thought you said your name was kacchan" izuku said looking away, katsukis jaw dropped, "jesus! how unfortunate would that be?? ah yes! hello! im kacchan bakugo!" the other laughed, izuku shook his head, "cmon! you dont think it doesnt have a nice ring? kacchan bakuko... the miku stan!" izuku said, making some sort of pose after he said that. katsuki laughed, shaking his head. "i guess.. you got any socials?" izuku nodded, opening his phone. "ive got, instagram and twitter, you?" he asked, looking up, katsuki smiled, opening his phone as well, "both" the other smiled.
the two boys exchaged socials, and stayed to talk for awhile, really just about life. they found out they happened to both live near one another, just a few blocks away. but as they spoke, izuku got a text, "ah shit, thats my mom, ill lext you later alright?" izuku chuckled, getting himself ready to leave. "damn, well it was really nice meeting you, rememebr to send me your haul later ok?" katsuki hummed, readying himself aswell. "i will i will, send me your videos later ok?" izuku smiled, katsuki nodded. and the two parted ways. izuku stopped at a few more minecrfat booths before heading home. he also ended up at a vocaloid booth by the exit, he doesnt know why he stopped, but seeing the miku plush? he wanted it. he bought two of them, and finally left the con. ready to pass out once he got home. but he promised katsuki they would talk later, but izuku also knew it would be hours. so a nap wouldnt hurt.
katsuki sighed as he walked away form izuku, missing the boys presense already. katsuki doesnt have many people he feels comfy with talking about his interest. but seeing izuku, something about the boy made him happy, and willing to open up. katsuki was also insanely ready to go home and crash into his mattress. but he payed to see a miku cosplay contest. and he sure as hell aint gonna miss that.
tired. katsuki was tired. so fucking tired. the cosplay contest went passed the time the actual con was open. almost 3 hours. it was midnight. katsuki doesnt really ever stay up this late, and it was still almost an hour drive home. fuck. "why did i do this..." he groaned to himself, sighing. he walked out of the con doors. the cool air of the night hit his face, making him feel better almost instantly. he walked slowly to his car, staring it and trying his best not to pass out at the wheel, because he doesnt need a crash in his life right now.
once he got home, he knew his parents were asleep, so he walked into his room, shutting the door and getting all his stuff around, he really wanted to keep his promise to izuku. it was almost 2:30am when katuski finally texted izuku on instagram, a the boy answered almost instantly. they talked for a while before they both admitted they were insanly tired and just wanted to sleep. so they agreed on just showing their hauls and shit in the morning after a nights sleep.
the boys both slept well that night, izuku woke up late, his mother having already left for work, it was around 1pm, he checked his phone as he rubbed his eyes, seeing a message from katsuki. "you awake yet dork?" izuku scoffed at the name, katsuki had called him a dork the night before when izuku went on a rant in voice notes about minecraft. he also gasped when he saw that katsuki had sent the message 3 hours ago. at 10am, he groaned, opening the message as he walked out of his room, sending back a quick,
"wowowwww if im a dork, you are a loser! also i just woke up T0T!!!" as he got a cup of coffee. katsuki laughed at the message, was he waiting those three hours for izuku to text back. yes he was, will he say that? hell no! he waited a moment before shaking his head and sending. "damn, late as hell" he set his phone down, and contiued to put up his new miku figures on his shrine- wall! izuku looked at the message, laughing as he leaned against the counter, "ill send you what i got in a bit ok? still waking up." he smiled as he sent then, so ready to go back to bed already. katsuki smiled at the text, he plopped back onto his bed, "bet, ill send you the videos now so you can watch them" izuku sent back a thank you. waiting for all the videos to flood into their messages.
it took him maybe 30 minutes to watch all the videos all of the cosplays were fucking awesome, and he really enjoyed watching katsuki point the camera to his face when he had something to say. it was sweet. something about katsuki really drew izuku in, like they had known eachother for years. like that feeling you get when you swear someone you just met may have known you in a past life. it was cool, but weird at the same time. also considering katsuki was only a few blocks form his house right as he watched the videos. that gave izuku an idea, as he was in his room, recording all of his new things to send to katsuki, a bunch of minecraft figures, some fnaf plushies, new mangas, and little nicknacks. after he sent the photos andf videos, and katsuki responded to them. he sent him a messaged.
"you know that park? the one with the huge feild where the high school goes to sometimes?" izuku knows that katsuki knows this park, its closer to katsukis house then it is izukus. but izuku used to go their when he was little. he loved it there. and still does. katsuki read the message, he smirked, "i do, why?" he sent back. izuku smiled, shooting his shot, if you will. "got any plans this fine night?" he replied, checking the time, almost 3pm. katsuki chuckled at the text, "i dont think i do, are you asking to go to the park with me? at are big age?" he laughed as he sent that, laying on his mattress as he waited for a response. "well.... i dont think we can talk about, our 'big age' when we were both at comic con last night, for minecraft and miku. but yes, i am"
izuku smiled, he figured he would prolly nap before he goes later, if katsuki says yes. "well.. stfu. but yea, ill be able to go, time?" izuku practiacally jumped out of his skin, he smiled wide and quickly responded, "i assume you can drive so it wont take either of us a long time to get there, tonight the stars will be insane. so lets say..." izuku thought. "7? gives us enough time to get ready if needed?" he was giddy, sending the message. "7 it is, see you then you dork" katsuki snorted as he sent the message. not caring to see is izuku responded. he was smiling after he put his phone down, looking up at his black ceiling that was a bunch of glow in the dark orange stars. was he, excited?
izuku was extatic, he cant remember the last time he was excited to see someone, yes he has friends. but they hang out so much that izuku is used to them! he was happy for something new. and someone who lives so close.
hours passed, both of them had showered, izuku was wearing a large green tshirt with a creeper face on it with some black sweats that were way to big, then his red converse. he also grabbed a small bag for his phone, wallet, keys, and charger before leaving the door at 6:50. katsuki was in a simple black tshirt, and some blue sweatpants with mikus face all over them and black vans. normally he wouldnt wear these out, but he figured that sense it was izuku, it was fine and he didnt really care.
at around 7:10 izuku pulled into the park, he got out of his car, seeing a familiar blonde sitting on the swings, staring up at the stars. he walked over. "dont say your enjoying the stars without me?" izuku said, sitting on the grass, leaning on the swingset post. katsuki looked down at him, he scoffed. "a hi would have sufficed.. dork." katsuki smirked, then looked back at the sky, izuku gasped, feining annoyance, "dork?! wha! wwoooowwww!!!!" he laughed, shaking his head. "alright, loser." katsuki whipped his head to face izuku. "nerd." he spit back.
izuku smirked, sensing the challenge. "dweeb." he smiled, the blonde smirked aswell.
"geek" katsuki barked
"goober" izuku hissed
"weenie" katsuki snapped
"shmuck" izuku shouted
"doofus" katsuki shrugged
izuku gasped, "WOOOOAAAHHH!!!! way to far katsuki!!!" he grabbed his chest, his hand on his forehead as he dramatically fell onto his back, hitting the grass. katsuki laughed loudly. he got up from the swing, moved to lean over izuku who layed still. but before he could say anything, izuku spoke up. "get down here" katsuki raised a brow, shrugged, and layed down. looking up at the sky, "what dor-" but he soon saw what. as he opened his eyes, looking at the sky, the stars. they were almost orange in the sky as they glowed. a small bit of green were in them aswell. it was insane.
"holt shit" katsuki said, almost not believing the sight right infront of him. "i fuckin told you the stars would be crazy tonight" izuku said, katsuki could hear the smile in his voice, he turned his head, izuku having done the same, their noses smacked eachother, and they started laughing, sitting up as they both held their noses. "ow!! you ass!!" izuku laughed, katsuki shook his head, rubbing his nose, "as if! thats not my fault!" the blonde sat there for a second, just watching as izuku laughed. something about his face, it was so...
"ive got a question" katsuki asked
"have we met before?" izuku spoke aswell
the boys spoke at the some time. their faces stunned after. izuku chuckled, "sorry, go ahead" he smiled, katsuki nodded, "well you kinda took my question" he said, looking back up at the sky. izuku tilted his head, "oh! uhm.. yea i just had a strang feeling we have" he sighed, looking at katsukis side profile, izuku was almost admiring it. "agreed, you seem familiar. but it could just be because we live so close, yknow?" he chuckled, izuku nodded, "yea, prolly seen your face around before" the boys talked. about life really, not about miku, not about minecraft. but about themselves.
katsuki learned that izuku is an only child to a single mother. his favorite color is red, loves katsudon. and that seeing izukus eyes light up when he talks about his mom makes katsuki really happy. izuku learned that katsuki is also an only child, his parents work in the fashion industry, and katsuki loves spicey food. and izuku realized that he really really enjoyed katsukis presense. the boys still havnt quite understood what made them think they have met before. but something was weird.
"whats your moms name?" katsuki asked, they were about to part ways. "inko. inko midoriya" izuku smiled, he loves his mama. "and yours?" he asked, about to leave the park, "mitsuki bakugo. and my dad is masaru" the blond one smirked, izuku nodded. "ok, well this was alot of fun katsuki" izuku smiled, facing the boy. katsuki nodded his head. "agreed, lets hang out more ok?" izuku nodded. "deffinetly." and they parted ways. once they were both in their cars about to leave..
"inko?" katsuki thought. something about that name, it was familiar.
"mitsuki.. masaru...." izuku said to himself, it racked his brain, he knows those names. he knows them.
the moment izuku was home, he knew his mom was still up, it was only 11pm. "hey ma?" izuku asked, shutting the door behind him, he heard some voices. a woman, and his mom. "ma?" he asked, poking his head into inkos room, she had a ciggarette in her hand, her green hair up in a bun. she seemed happy, smiling as she saw izuku. "your back! i want you to meet my friend! she just wanted to stop by before she went home" the woman said, izuku chuckled, walking in. and the moment he saw her face, he knew exactly why he knew katsukis mom.
"mitsuki?" izuku asked, the blond woman and inko both gasped, "izu how do you know her name?" inko asked, mitsuki had a look on her face, she smirked, "so im assuming you and katsuki finally met?" mitsuki asked, izuku paled, his eyes wide, jaw dropping. and inko finally caught on. "is katsuki the boy you met at the con??" inko smiled wide. mitsuki started to laugh. izuku stood still. "i knew it! i saw katsuki scrolling thru your instagram account before i left for work this morning!!" the woman got off inkos bed. her and inko both put their ciggarettes out, walking over to izuku. "so how did you guys meet?" inko smirked, she had a knowing glance, and so did mitsuki, izuku was lost and confused. "we had just happened to bump into eachother at the con- we talked and then i got his insta, thats when we founf out we lived so close..." izuku said, it was the truth but when he said it it almost felt like a lie, like that wasnt it.
inko chuckled, "we were sorta just waiting for you two to naturally meet again, not wanting to shove you guys in one another faces like when you were kids-" inko had stated, "WHAT??" izuku shouted, mitsuki stepped in, "well, you guys were always so close when you were little, playing minecraft together, but me and masaru, we got a new job and had to move a few blocks down, just enought to where katsuki had to switch schools, we were just out of range, and i guess you guys sorta just forgot about eachother!"
izuku was stunned, forget? there is no way in hell he would forget katsuki. "what the fuck???" izuku said, he felt alsmost nauseous at this information. "im.. gonna go sit down, it was mince meeting you auntie" izuku smiled, inko and mitsuki smiled, "you too darling!" mitsuki smiled at the boy sitting back down on inkos bed. "goodnight baby" inko smiled, kissing izukus cheek. he smiled and walked away. the moment he was out of sight, he booked it to his room, taking his phone out. he went on facebook, onto his mothers account and scrolled, he was there for maybe an hour looking thru photos. but he finally found one. it was from maybe 10 years ago, izuku must have been 6 or 7. standing next to a blond who seemed just as happy as izuku in the photo. he has seen this photo. but never acknoledged the other. now he knows. the blond. the blond who is in just about EVERY single photo of izuku when he was a baby, its katsuki.
he compiled a few photos, and after about 2 hours he texted katsuki, noticing there was already a message waiting. "dude." was all it read, izuku knew, mitsuki had gone home so she had to have talked about izuku. he swallowed. "i know." was all he said. "what the fuck man?? how??" katsuki typed back frantically. "i dont know!!! thats so- look i searched thru my moms photos." izuku groaned, sending back all the images. after a few moments. his phone started to ring. he picked up.
"deku?!" katsuki yelled, izuku paled, thats why the nickname seemed so familiar. and.. "kacchan...?" he spoke back, they both went silent, as if something had finally dawned on them. izuku turned his camera on and sat in frame, katsuki did the same. they just stared. before izuku started to laugh. katsuki followed. "how do i just happen to forget my bestfriend. then see him again after years? at a comic con.." izuku groaned. katsuki laughed, he shook his head. "what, happened? we seemed to be with eachother all the time. how did we just forget?" the blond spoke up, sighing.
izuku shrugged, "knowing how i was when i was little, my best friend moving away and also leaving the school, prolly made me think i would never see you again, so i prolly... blocked you out" izuku frowned, katsuki fell silent. "oh. thats probably what i did too" he chuckled, he stared at his phone for a little bit. "now what?" izuku said. because litteraly. now what. izuku was still trying to understand this, but it made sense, there was infact proof. but even when he tried to remember anything, he only remembers a blur. it really must have hurt him to see katsuki go back then.
"its kinda funny" katsuki started, "why?" izuku smiled, katsuki stared at izuku thru the screen, "how i only moved 20 minutes away, and somehow us as children just, stopped, why didnt our moms do anything?" katsuki wondered, he was alaso insanely lost. "i dunno... but those are later questions. im so ready for bed." izuku grumbled, grabbing his phone and getting ready for bed. katsuki laughed. "me too izuku" he sighed, izuku smiled softly, after a little while they finally said bye. hanging up the phone izuku found himself laying in mis bed. staring up at the ceiling.
his eyes were heavy. he was ready to pass out, but something. someone was in his brain. katsuki. it was all katsuki, his brain started to slowly fill in the blanks. the blurred faces. now replaced with the one in the photos. he was so happy about this he may have started to cry. but he was not gonna let anyone know that.
katsuki frowned when izuku ended the call, he walked out. seeing his mother. "hey mama" he said, arms crossed over his chest, mitsuki smiled, "yes baby?" she said, flicking her cigg into the ashtray, "so about izuku, why? why didnt you or auntie try to keep us together?" katsuki asked, his eyes were sharp, and glazed over with sadness. "oh.. katsuki.." mitsuki sighed, he looked sad at this question. "after we moved i asked if you wanted to go see izuku. but you were so caught up in the thought that izuku hated you for moving away. that you didnt want to see him. and izuku, when i called inko about it, izuku was scared you hated him, because you left him." mistuki sighed, not looking up at her son. katsuki froze, then groaned, running a hand thru hia blonde spiked. "fuck. that sounds like me." he sat on his knees next to mitsuki on the couch. leaning against her side, she smiled down at her son. "well, after all that, we didnt want to force you onto eachother in fear you guys might actualy hate the other. so we just complied." she ran her hands thru his hair, katsuki stayed next to her. he sighed.
"well.. im glad i ran into him yesterday" he chuckled, looking down at his hands, the same hands who for some reason despereatly wanted to hold the green ones hands. "me too, me and inko were considering sending you guys to the same location or something, maybe throwing a party and locking you guys into a room." mitsuki barked out a laugh, katsuki scoffed. he rolled his eyes. "we would have prolly hated you guys for that, just so you know." mitsuki hummed, she took a blanket nearby and layed it over her and katsuki, watching what ever cartoon was on the tv. "love you ma" katsuki smiled softly, his eyes closing as he layed against his mother, she kissed his temple. "love you baby" she said, and they sat there, laying on one another watching adveture time on the tv.
2 weeks had passed. izuku and katuski talked every single day, but didnt actually hang out. that was untill katsuki called izuku randomly, izuku was quite litteraly in the middle of shitting. "what im taking a shi-" but it wasnt katsuki on the other end. it was a black girl, she had long pink braids. "oh shit- im so sorry- but this is urgent!" she said, izuku was flushed, his face pale and he hated everything. he nodded, "who are you?" he asked, still sitting on the toilet. but he digresses. "im ashido, one of katsukis friends. we are out right now and his car needs a jump start! we all came in his car and are at the park no one else is here." she sighed, turning thr camera to face the car, and a stressed katsuki yelling in the background at a boy with bleach blond hair. "fuck.. ok text me the location, ill bring my jumper cables" he groaned, it was 2am. "ok im so sorry! katsuki told me to call you!! see you soon!!!" ashido yelled, hanging up the phone and quickly texting the address.
izuku got ready, throwing on a hoodie, minecraft themes as those are the only hoodies this guy owns. and sweatpants. he walked out the door leaving a note for inko incase she wakes and hes just gone. he drove to the adress. a whole hour out from his house. but hey, its katsuki. when he got there he saw katsuki sitting on the hood of his car, laying back and staring at the sky, izuku pulled up quietly, katsuki head earbuds in. izuku walked up, but caught sight of the others. ashido, the blond katsuki was yelling at, a guy with red hair, another guy with black hair, and a girl with purple hair. they were a roudy bunch for it being this late. "hey! im izuku" he shouted jogging to them, not saying anything to katsuki yet.
ashido smiled, "ah! katsukis boyfriend in the flesh!" but as she said that the guy with red hair hit her head, making her shut up, izuku laughed, boyfrined? what?? he ignored it. "sure... im gonna go get him so i can jumpstart this shit and then i can go back home!" he smiled, they all laughed and waved him off. he nodded, walking to katsukis car. a porsche. how the fuck does he have that?? izuku sighed, shaking his head and leaning over katsuki. katsuki jumped as the green hair filled his vision. he pulled his earbuds you, "fuck- you actually came?" katsuki asked in disbelief. izuku chuckled and nodded, "technically you did call" he smiled, katsuki shrugged, hopping off the hood of the car and opening it. izuku opened his. using the jumper cables and hooking the car up. "so, i see that you hace a miku stearling wheel, and a miku.. seat cover..." izuku smirked, walking to his own car, starting it to jump the car. "hey! like i dont see those minecraft dice on the mirror in yours!" katsuki snapped back, izuku laughed. shaking his head.
"how long" ashido said in the distance. kirishima shook his head, "babe they basically just became friends again!" he tried to say, jirou butted in, "i give 3 days. maybe evem tomorrow" she said, denki hissed, "nah, not that soon.." jirou shrugged. sero laughed, "a week. solid week." ashido agreed with sero. the group stood by katsukis car, quietly talking as izuku and katsuki seemed as if nothing else in the world mattered. they stopped paying attention for a moment. but soon there was the sound of katsukis car starting. a "yes!!" then as the hood closed, izuku screamed, "FUCKIN SHIT" everyone looked over, izuku had slammed his hood down on his fingers. he jumped up and down as he held them. "shit- you ok??" katsuki said, running to his side. kirishima got into katsukis car, grabbing the first aid. theey all circled izuku. katsuki took the aid, and gave kirishima a look. kirishima got the others and all got back into katsukis car, katsuki tended to izukus fingers, wrapping them up. "shit i cant drive like this.." izuku groaned after.
katsuki tapped his foot, thinking. "here hold on" the blonde one said, turning and opening his car door. tossing the kays to jirou. "take it back home, tell my ma im at izukus house" he said, they all said ok, and jirou got into the drivers seat. they all waved izuku bye. leaving the park. izuku smiled and waved at them. looking at katsuki, "what are you doing?" izuku asked, walking to his car. "driving you home, what do you think?"
