The birds of Musutafu fluttered overhead as cars drove steadily by. A few pigeons pecked away at the concrete sidewalk, but the moment shoes came thudding in their direction, they immediately darted for the sky.It had been one hell of a day for Izuku Midorya, it was like the full moon the night before had completely turned his students into savages. They didn’t know how to sit still or even stay quiet during their classes today, and it was as if they were even more reckless than he was during hero training when he was a student.But nevertheless, Izuku loved his students and would give them the benefit of the doubt that the UA’s Sports Festival was nearing soon, so everyone was practically jumping around.Though, that didn’t mean Izuku could be late — which he was — to meeting his boyfriend for lunch at the nearby cafe.After practically stumbling into the cafe, Izuku was able to catch his breath and catch sight of the man that always managed to take his breath away. Spiky blonde hair, piercing crimson eyes, and his hero suit — gods, it was as if he was sculpted by a god even.Taking a deep gulp of air, Izuku brushed his shirt off of non-existing dust, and ran crooked fingers through his mess of curls as he walked over to the table that Kacchan was seated at.Hunched over a bit as he was scrolling through phone, once he spared a glance to see Izuku setting his backpack down by his chair, Katsuki immediately turned off his phone and sat up in his chair.“Took you long enough ya damn nerd, almost thought you got swept by some giant ass pigeon or some shit.” Katsuki scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest. Izuku swallowed softly as he took in Kacchan’s appearance, his suit’s collar popped open, and it was lacking his gauntlets and gloves.“Only you would think something like that, Kacchan.” Izuku snorted, finally allowing himself to let out a sigh of relief and lean back in his chair now that he was in his boyfriend’s presence.It was nice to catch these quick lunch dates during work, it allowed Izuku to reboot before he had to face the rest of the day. And it seemed though it was the same for Kacchan too, the other visibly relaxed now that Izuku was sitting across from him.Before Izuku could open his mouth, Kacchan cut him off. “I already order your usual, though the amount of shots you have in your coffee should be illegal.” He says nonchalantly, and almost on cue — the words “order for Dynamight!” were called out. Kacchan muttered a “be back”, before leaving the table to grab their order.Izuku couldn’t deny the warm feeling in his chest or the way his heart threatened to burst. Just seeing that Kacchan knew his order had Izuku falling in love with the pro hero all over again.Kacchan returned with their order, that consisted of; an iced coffee with way too many shots of espresso with a simple grilled cheese sandwich for Izuku, and some sort of a top of the line sandwich with tea (because Katsuki refuses to drink caffeine unless he absolutely has to) for Kacchan.Kacchan hooked their ankles underneath the table while the two enjoyed their meals, Izuku blabbering about his day so far in between bites of his food, and Kacchan humming responses here and there as the other talked. It was so easy to just talk around Kacchan, no matter the setting, despite being reminded to keep eating whenever there was a nudge against his ankle.“Though, I don’t know if Aizawa will be up for any joint class sessions this week.” Izuku heaved out a sigh, stirring his coffee a bit with the straw.“Izuku,”“Maybe I could plan something with him next week, though with the sports festival coming up…” He drawled, picking up his sandwich again.“‘Zuku,”“Then again, it would allow the students to see what they’ll be up against in the next few weeks, actually scratch that. It would be—“ Izuku couldn’t even finish his sentence when a hand grabbed his chin, and his eyes instantly landed on crimson red in front of him.“Sit still for a second, you got crumbs on your face.” Kacchan grumbled, brushing the crumbs away with his thumb, and Izuku could not stop the flustered feeling rushing to his cheeks as they became a soft hue of red.“S-Sorry,” Izuku managed to stammer out, clearing his throat in hopes it would get rid of the heat on his face.“Can it, as if you could tell.” Kacchan scoffed, letting his hand linger for a moment, dragging his thumb back and forth gently across Izuku’s cheek. It was so caring that the other couldn’t help but lean into the touch.The rest of lunch was uneventful, Kacchan grumbled a bit on how patrol was going for him and that he had to show a rookie their patrol route. Other than that, it was catching up on paperwork from the last villain attack and keeping a lookout on the streets with “Shitty hair”.Eventually, as all things do have to come to an end, Izuku’s watch started beeping at him, implying that he had to get back to UA before lunch hour was over. The two picked up their mess and threw it away before walking out the cafe, stopping just in front of the shop to share a few words before departure.“I was thinking of getting sushi on the way home after patrol for dinner.” Kacchan suggested, looking down — okay it’s a two inch height difference, what's the big deal — at Izuku.“That sounds wonderful, Kacchan.” Izuku agrees with a smile as bright as the sun that Katsuki’s heart practically melts. He hums and reels Izuku in a bit closer, the corners of his lip twitching upwards as he watches Izuku’s eyes flick from his own then down to his lips.It’s as if the sun above knew it was coming as the surroundings felt a bit brighter, blinding bystanders from seeing the sweet moment between the two. Katsuki leaned in and Izuku followed until their lips met. It wasn’t chaste, but it wasn’t a long kiss either — just a brief moment of connection between the two.Izuku wished it had lasted longer, but of course Kacchan pulled away with a grin, and Izuku couldn’t help but giggle. He was giddy, and his heart fluttered under the affection.“Alright nerd, go teach your brats a lesson.” Kacchan said, ruffling Izuku’s curls, who whined in protests and tried swatting away the other’s hands. And in a blink of an eye, Kacchan pressed a chaste kiss to Izuku’s lips before nudging him in the direction of UA.Smiling softly, “See you at home!” Izuku called over his shoulder, watching as Kacchan raised his hand in a wave of “see you later”.With a little bit more of a peo in his step, almost skipping even, as he headed back to school with a smile on his face.
