[#What If#]

~{'Constellations of an Exploding Star (DekuBaku)'}~

"And you, Izuku," Katsuki whispers, voice barely audible to the one he speaks to. "What is it you wish to do?"

Such a busy mind like the greenette's always struggles to make time for anything besides what is originally planned, yet he shall never be able to not allow his partner to be able to squeeze himself into his tight schedule. As of this summer, however, he unexpectedly has large sums of time to fill in. He'd made multiple attempts to fill in that gap, yet always found himself with so much spare time.

It's as if the world is telling him to allow additional freetime, like he needs it, to spend with others.

And, for the first time in a long time, he's made the decision to replace that open gap for Katsuki. With a raise and tilt of his head, just enough to be able to graze the lips of the other male, Izuku keeps his emerald eyes closed, as does the other male.

Currently, their sights overflow with darkness, yet they have gained trust in each other's bodies for guidance, throughout light and dark as the taller male brought his other hand onto the waist of his lover's, a physical reply of a hand being brought to his back, slowly sliding over his shoulder to hold.

A breath, a soft, delicate breath carries a voice so close yet so distant-sounding, "I wish to be with you."

Katsuki feels the words from deep within, and takes it as his opportunity to press his lips softly against the others. Smooth lips— as he describes— smile against his, and the ash blonde remains steady, only shaken at the worry of the possibility he could ruin this core memory for them.

Izuku knows what is held within this kiss: love, admiration, and fear. Fear of breaking him if the ash blonde would so much as breathe too hard. However, he is not made of glass, nor is his heart, and aches for his lover to know such.

With much reluctance, the greenette pulls himself away, allowing a small amount of space between as he tells his partner, "Kacchan, your love is what I desire most in more than this life. Please, allow me to cherish all it brings?"

A set of ruby orbs glistening by the moon's powerful ray set their sights on a star like no other, one deserving of unconditional love, treasured by his every presence; it is queried by Katsuki how a human could possess attributes of which to be honored in the overall existence that Izuku Midoriya is.

A second one lingers behind his request as well: is he willing to give his all for his lover? The fact he's willing to risk his life is obvious to both, but giving requires more than the life itself. To give means to take, and to take means to cherish.

Every moment shall be treated like its final, and the taller male is consumed with the refusal of allowing any second to be wasted. He has to give his all, even the undesirable part of himself.

"I will let our moments be shared with honesty and love, no matter our circumstances."

Izuku's remaining thoughts are simply actions, and he does so, capturing a set of lips nothing like his own, just the perfect piece to fit his puzzle. A flame in the winter he is, yes, beyond what he can imagine as his lover, he has been the other half to fill the once empty heart of the greenette.

Katsuki's hold tightens on his partner, bringing his body against his own while the intertwined fingers separate to make their way to the other's cheek. As bodies and minds grow desperate, the kisses deepen, breathing becoming more of a struggle to them until not long after, when the ash blonde brings himself to straddle Izuku who now lays on his back.

An amazed gaze directed towards Katsuki causes a red hue to take form across his face, but nevertheless, he continues. Leaning down to set his hands on either side of the other male, their chests touch with every new breath they took, even from each other.
