Summary
“Are you feeling alright, Kacchan?” Izuku asked softly.
“I’m fine, nerd,” Katsuki responded, just as quietly. “Quit asking.”
“Even here?”
They stopped walking, and Katsuki watched with heavy, tired eyes as Izuku slowly, carefully, brought his hand up to rest on his chest. Over his heart.
“It… feels kind of fast,” Izuku muttered, voice strained with worry and exhaustion. “Is that normal?”
“…yeah,” Katsuki said after a brief pause.
It’s normal when you’re around.
For some reason, Katsuki felt like the fading of One For All correlated with the fading of Izuku from the picture of his life. It wasn’t like he’d never see him again, but it wouldn’t be the same.
There had to be more than surviving just to watch One For All die and Izuku retire from heroics. That couldn't be the end of their story.
All Katsuki knew for sure was that the more Izuku faded from his life, the more uncertain and dark everything became.

Summary
If anyone is the world’s craziest hero, it’s Kacchan. And right behind him is All Might, who fought while quirkless, all the odds stacked against him. And Todoroki, who fought his own family and still joined the final fight afterward, even when he had all the reason not to. And Uraraka, who’d seen a villain for exactly who she was, and had still been desperate to save her life.
Izuku thinks about Tenko again. The calm look that passed between them, the way it felt like acceptance of something that should’ve never happened at all.
I’m not—
Izuku swallows.
It’s not fair to dump this all on Kacchan, so he just smiles and interlaces their fingers. Squeezes with what limited ability he has.
-
Despite everything, Izuku can't shake the feeling that this isn't how it was supposed to go.

Summary
"You're a hero no matter what," Katsuki said firmly, desperately, "so you don't have to quit."
Because that had to be the problem. Izuku didn’t think he could do it, but he could. He could do anything, or not use any support item at all, and he’d still be twice the hero Katsuki would ever be.
Izuku’s eyes went soft and sympathetic. “I know, Kacchan.”
...What?
-
Katsuki was glad Izuku was fine, obviously. He'd just expected... something.
But expectations don't mean much in the aftermath of the war, and maybe heroism doesn't mean much, either.

Summary
Izuku getting his Brand New Super Suit doesn't turn out quite like Katsuki planned, but he'll be damned if he's going to let that ruin everything. It's fine. Everything is fine.
He's just going to have to find another way to make that dumb oblivious nerd stand by his side for the rest of their lives.
