you. date. now.

[You know what? Sure, why not. Canon timeline, AUs, or aged up are all cool by me.]

[ Would Iida be cool with you? ]

[Holy shit I'm so mad that I missed this! My email must have swallowed the notif T_T If you're still up for it, hell yeah!]

[ Of course, yeah! Any preferences or scenarios you'd like to explore? ]

[I'll admit that I always have an interest in post-UA shenanegans, but I am honestly up for anything. Go nuts! :D]

[ The life of a pro-hero isn’t always glamorous. Sometimes the life of a pro-hero is calling a repairman to fix a small hole blasted into your wall, or convincing your boyfriend that he should at least get his ears checked after many formative years of being right next to small explosions. It does have its moments - quiet movie nights huddled under the blankets, less quiet cooking sessions before work in the morning, and plenty of aggressive affection in the safety of either of their homes...

But sometimes the life of a pro-hero is a little messy, especially when Katsuki Bakugou is moving in with you. Tenya hauls am oversized box up the stairs to his apartment, his muscles straining under the weight. He wonders what it’s filled with - dumbbells? Knowing Katsuki, it isn’t impossible.

He manages to reach the top of the stairs at last, guiding himself through the open doorway and setting the box down soon after. Hopefully Katsuki is willing to unpack it over here. ]

That should be the last of them. Are you sure you don’t need any help getting settled in? I could make you some lunch.

[Life takes its turns, and the Universe is a strange mistress. Yeah, Katsuki could admit that.

He managed to survive High School and hurtle explosions-blazing into a successful Pro-Hero career. Every morning, he was able to wake up, eat a delicious healthy breakfast, work out, and live the dream that he'd been fighting for since he was a little kid.

And yes, okay. He did also patch up old friendships that he'd left by the wayside when he was a kid. Like Deku, who blows up his phone every other morning with memes that he still replies to even if he says he hates them, and...fine, yes! He does go out to lunch with him at least once a week!

After all, if it weren't for Deku, he wouldn't have...

Ugh. That was a bitter pill to swallow. So bitter that even to himself, it was hard to admit.

If it weren't for Deku, he wouldn't even be in this situation right now.

No, not just this situation, where he was unpacking his rather spartan collection of things (other than his rather large box...that was the one with all of his kitchen stuff), since his small collection of All Might Merch was at Deku's for safekeeping until after the move.

But the situation that was the direct cause of this one.

...You know...

His boyfriend.

Who would have thought, the guy who he picked a fight with on the first day of UA all of those years ago would have ended up as his boyfriend, and now his roommate?

Look, it wasn't Katsuki's fault that Tenya towered over him and definitely turned heads once they graduated. Or that their fastidious natures were mostly compatible. Or those nights they'd ended up patrolling together, ended a shift, and then ended up talking in a 24-hour diner over tea until it was past both of their bedtimes?

Deku was a perceptive shit and if it weren't for him, Katsuki would never have been able to work through the tangled mess in his brain that he called his emotions, and figured out what he wanted. Or, you know. Who he wanted.

Speaking of which...

He glanced up at Tenya's voice, setting down the piece of clothing in his hand as he gave him a long stare.

He set down the article back in the box and stood, walking over to the large box and lifting it.

Katsuki's face was scowling, but his eyes were warm.]

Sit your ass down, I got this. This is all kitchen shit anyway.

["You've done enough to help me," Katsuki said without words, "Let me take care of you."]

[ Their compatibility was also a surprise to Tenya, of course. He would never have expected someone with Bakugou's temper to be so... on top of things! He knew his goals, he stuck to them, and most importantly, he left his spaces surprisingly neat and tidy. He would be a wonderful roommate - after all, he's already a wonderful boyfriend.

He thanks Midoriya for this at least once a week. He's been told all the thanks is unnecessary, but is it, really? Without him, Tenya doesn't think he and Katsuki would have ever had cause to interact on a friendly basis - same class or no. And there was also all of those times he had more or less played messenger for them... Really, one of these days Tenya should buy him a cake. Maybe some flowers? No, perhaps just save the flowers for Katsuki. A nice card would do.

For now, he glances down at the box by his feet. Ah, 'kitchen shit'. That would explain the weight! ]

I will not sit down while you submit yourself to taxing physical labor!

[ Not that he can't handle it, of course. But two pairs of hands are better than one! ]

Let me know exactly how I may assist! That way you may relax sooner!

[ It's less of a request and more of a demand. Tenya's known for being stubbornly compassionate, after all. ]

[Of course he wasn't just going to sit down because he asked. He always had to help, jumping in even when it wasn't necessary...

If he was still a snotty kid, he probably would have been offended by that.

Okay, not probably.

But as a grown man, still plagued by more inner demons than he cared to admit, he found that the very thing that pissed him off so much as a kid was a light and a steady comfort that he didn't know that he needed.]

Tch, fine.

[He'd also learned the hard way that Tenya was as stubborn as he was, and any insistence would fall on deaf ears. Between him and Deku, he didn't know who was worse.

...

Okay, no, Deku was worse.]

Then put the pots and pans away. I'll take care of the spices and other shit. The faster we get this done, the faster we can eat.

[And when he meant 'spices', he meant 'a multi-tiered spinning spice rack filled to the brim with glass bottles'. Also, the closest thing he had to a child -- Tenya was the only one who could touch it without suffering Katsuki's wrath.

...And now, this was their new rack of spices.

Holy shit, they really were living together. Sure, he practically lived at his place anyway, especially since Katsuki's old apartment was a cheap piece of shit...

...but this was different. Permanent.

Katsuki wouldn't be going home after a day or two, just to sleep alone in his own apartment. They'd wake up together, go through the day together, and go to bed together if their schedules allowed it.

Fuck.

...

Did he really just zone out and stare at nothing for the past minute or two?

Yes.

Yes he did.]

[ Of course he's willing to help at a moment's notice - it's a hero's job to assist those in need. Even if 'those in need' is just your equally stubborn boyfriend who needs help unpacking. In that case, it's also because he loves him very much! And he sees the way his kindness affects Katsuki - the way his face softens, even if he doesn't want it to show. ]

I'll get straight to work, then!

[ He's careful as he picks up the pots and the pans - they're sturdy, but he still wouldn't want to damage anything Katsuki has brought with him. He has them all tucked away into the cupboards within a few minutes. Even without using his quirk, he's always been known for his speed. ]

Katsuki, the cookware is all in place. Is there anything else you'd like me to help wi...?

[ His words quickly fade away when he catches sight of his boyfriend, still kneeling on the floor and staring off into space. It would almost be endearing if it wasn't so concerning.

He's quiet as he approaches, tip-toeing around scattered boxes before sitting beside him on the floor. ]

Is something troubling you?

[ That was the obvious conclusion to be drawn, and it's something Tenya had honestly expected. Katsuki was hardly one for vulnerability, and moving in together was a big step. It could take away his need for privacy and put a strain on their relationship. It could force him to open up when he wasn't ready.

These were all things Tenya had concerned, and all things he was willing to discuss at the drop of a hat. He could give Katsuki his space if need be! It wouldn't be difficult, the apartment was fairly large, anyways - ]

[ Impressions and permissions here! A genki girl teen who dreamed of becoming an idol her whole life and then had a chance encounter that lead to her finally getting to live her dream and becoming a member of her favourite group. Said group happens to also be a team of magical idols who protect the world with their music. You know, standard stuff.

OTA, but Stella's sixteen so I'd like to keep any romance in her general age range! ]
