    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

    At some point, Izuku had to stop. Unable to help himself, his fingers loosened around the washcloth and his palm came to rest flat over Katsuki’s chest, right over his heart.

    Thump Thump Thump, Katsuki's heart fluttered miraculously beneath his touch. It was a second chance Izuku didn’t deserve. His thumb hovered at the edge of his scar, where his pale, smooth, perfect skin gave way where evil had mercilessly shredded through. Before and after, separated by such an easy line.

    He swallowed hard, his throat tightening around a cry, trying to ground himself in the fact that Katsuki was here, alive, that none of those scars had taken his Kacchan away from him. They only created new patterns on the beautiful body that Izuku would wash clean.

    -

    Literally almost 20K of Izuku taking care of Katsuki after the war and them just talking.
