[Katsuki can't help a small laugh and leans back on Yuji's bed, hands behind his head.]
I would've asked you out. But Raidou did it first.
[It feels okay to finally admit this. Especially since Yuji just said something similar. There's no regret or longing, just the usual fondness he has for his friend.]
[ Yuji stares at him with wide eyes, and suddenly his chest feels warm. Embarrassment, or - what? He's not really sure, but he's definitely blushing. Three people...? ]
No, there's more than that. I don't want someone who just makes me happy. He frustrates me and challenges me too. We don't see eye to eye on everything, and our habits are different. Sometime I get mad at him.
[He rests his other arm under Yuji's head so he can reach around and drop a hand on his shoulder.]
But when I come back here and he's there... that's what matters to me most.
[ He's been sad for so long, so painfully long, that seeing Raidou and feeling happy... That urge to protect him, to take care of him, to spend time with him...

no subject
Date: 9/9/24 19:51 (UTC)Why the hell would I ever stop coming over?!
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 19:52 (UTC)[ Ruffling his hair now. ]
Unless he'd find it weird that we cuddle all the time.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 19:55 (UTC)[Oh come on! He's not a little kid!]
He never said anything about it. He's physical with people he likes.
[It's... uh... it's apparently a devil thing.]
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 19:55 (UTC)[ Yuji's eyes widen. ]
Adultery?!
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 19:57 (UTC)[Are you even using that word right, Yuji?!]
HE'S NOT EVEN MARRIED!! He's clingy like Odango Mess!
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 19:58 (UTC)So it's just hugging friends? When you said physical, I thought...
[ Like, you know. Naughty things. ]
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:01 (UTC)No! He just likes to be touching a lot.
[Oh naughty things happen. Just, you know, with each other.]
He didn't have that when he grew up.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:02 (UTC)[ He takes the pillow to the face with a steadfast, unmoving nod. ]
I guess I'm not that different from him.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:05 (UTC)[Sorry, Denji. But considering how you talk about boobs and girls and stuff, does anyone not know that about you?]
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:06 (UTC)[ Though... There is a half-naked lady on the wall of Yuji's room right now...
... Thanks to Denji... ]
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:08 (UTC)I never really thought about dating. It was always an annoyance.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:09 (UTC)[ Then there was his date with Bakugo, and with Raidou, and Megumi confessing to him... ]
In middle school girls didn't really like me and there wasn't a point in dating people when I was going to die.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:12 (UTC)Aa. No one ever gave me valentines or asked me out. I never wanted to deal with that shit.
[And really, considering how Katsuki acts, who'd want to get near that?]
Now we're both dating.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:12 (UTC)[ Wait, that's kind of - ]
Before now, obviously. I mean, I did, but - you know what I mean.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:16 (UTC)I would've asked you out. But Raidou did it first.
[It feels okay to finally admit this. Especially since Yuji just said something similar. There's no regret or longing, just the usual fondness he has for his friend.]

Date: 9/9/24 20:18 (UTC)[ Yuji stares at him with wide eyes, and suddenly his chest feels warm. Embarrassment, or - what? He's not really sure, but he's definitely blushing. Three people...? ]
Me?
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:21 (UTC)[Katsuki closes his eyes, mostly because there's a faint red on his face now. Okay so maybe he's not completely immune, but yeah...]
You.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:22 (UTC)[ Covering his face with his hand, Yuji laughs softly. ]
I had no idea you felt anything like that.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:26 (UTC)[He curls his fingers slightly against the back of his head.]
You're still my best friend.
[It's a quiet, gentle admission, but admission all the same.]
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:27 (UTC)[ Leaning in, he shuffles closer, putting his head on Bakugo's shoulder. ]
Does Denji-kun make you happy?
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:30 (UTC)[The little bump nudges at his head and he tilts his own to rest it against Yuji's]
Yeah. I never met anyone like him.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:31 (UTC)Then that's all that matters, really, isn't it?
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:39 (UTC)[He rests his other arm under Yuji's head so he can reach around and drop a hand on his shoulder.]
But when I come back here and he's there... that's what matters to me most.
no subject
Date: 9/9/24 20:40 (UTC)[ He's been sad for so long, so painfully long, that seeing Raidou and feeling happy... That urge to protect him, to take care of him, to spend time with him...
Yuji closes his eyes. ]
I'm just glad.
