Pens and gears chapter two: school life

this is part of a series find chapter one here or on my ao3 in my pinned post

When Katsuki heard that he and Izuku were going to be in the same class he was honestly pretty excited. Since he was a kid he didn’t have many friends due to struggling with social cues and tending to get angry easily. So this was a first time for him being excited to be in the same class as a friend.

The only issue was that Katsuki had been extremely stressed lately. He seriously admires Izuku, but that boy was so amazing in his eyes. He was good at art, he was happy and upbeat, he had talent. And Katsuki just felt lacking next to him,

It was the first day of their new school year today. Katsuki packed everything he needed, all his Allmight stationary in one pencil case. And all his notebooks shoved into his backpack. He walked to school and met Izuku at the park.

“Kachan!, isn’t this exciting? we’re going to be in the same class!” Izuku said in a cheery tone, his cheeks flushed from walking in the heat. Katsuki chuckled and ruffled Izuku’s already messy hair.

“Yeah, I'm excited too,” Katsuki said with a small smile. Seeing Izuku always brightened his day slightly even when his motivation was slipping. He felt a little more at ease and grounded knowing someone cared for him.

When they got to school Katsuki went to find his headphones in his bag and felt something sink in his chest when he realized he forgot to pack them. He let out a disgruntled sigh which caught Izuku’s attention.

“Huh?, is something wrong Kachan?” He said, tilting his head curiously. Katsuki just sighed again.

“I forgot my headphones at home and class is about to start….i’ll be fine i think…just some extra sounds…” He said dismissively, trying to ignore how scared he was to go without his headphones. He’d used noise canceling headphones since he was a little kid so going without them felt disturbing.

They both walked into class and sat down in assigned seats, Bakugo could hear everything, the scratching of pencil on paper, every little breath and whisper was invading his senses, but he did his best to ignore it despite that itching feeling in his chest.

When Lunch finally rolled around, he grabbed Izuku’s hand and pulled him behind the school.

“Lets eat here…please” He said quietly. He normally had poor volume control, so Izuku was a bit surprised but he nodded, sitting down and leaning against the brick wall of the back of the school. He patted the grassy ground next to him. Katsuki sighed and slid down the wall. He leaned his head on Izuku. Izuku jumped a bit in surprise but allowed it happily. A small tear rolled down Katsuki’s face and Izuku panicked, gently grabbing his face.

“Woah!, are you ok?, why are you crying?” He rushed out. He grabbed a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed one to Katsuki so he could wipe his tears.

“I’ve….been really stressed” he says shakily, his voice cracking. “God…sorry for crying in front of you i’m such a fucking loser” He says, chuckling bitterly. Izuku suddenly buts in.

“Hey!, don't talk about yourself like that!, you’re really cool, you always are so passionate about what you care about, and being emotional isn’t a bad thing…everyone cries sometimes and i’m glad to be there for you” Izuku says with a worried expression, his brows crinkled together.

Katsuki sighed.

“You’re so positive all the time…i don't know how you do it…and you’re so talented too and i’m just me!” Katsuki says bitterly. Izuku’s face suddenly squishes up in thought.

“There’s a lot of things you’re good at though! you’re always so good at figuring out how things work! whether its predicting things in stories, or random gadgets, you’re really smart! just because i have my talents doesn’t mean you aren’t good at anything!” Izuku says his voice filled with admiration. Katsuki burst out laughing.

“Man…i don't know how someone as amazing as you could see any redeeming qualities in me…that's what i like about you, you’re so determined to see the good in things” Katsuki says, squishing one of Izuku’s cheeks. Izuku slapped Katsuki’s hand away but then clasped it in his.

“I really do care for you” He says, leaning against Bakugo.

They remained like that for the rest of lunch period.

Pens and gears chapter one: The meeting

(also on my ao3) general fic summary: What if, in a universe where there are no quirks and All might is fictional, Katsuki and Izuku meet as young teens, and end up going to the same schools for the rest of their teenage lives. While Izuku is getting better at art Katsuki struggles to find what he wants to do, as he grapples with the fact, he might have a crush on his best friend

It was a normal summer day for Katsuki. At least at the start, He grabbed his All might backpack in the morning just like always when he woke up. He filled it with his normal snacks just like always too. They were the only snacks he’d ever eat honestly, a crab onigiri with spicy mayo in the middle, kept in a small glass Tupperware cube. Two packs of Goldfish, some fruit snacks, and a ham sandwich his mother made him pack. He took his noise canceling headphones, and his phone as well. He roughly shoved his phone into his pocket and carefully put all his food into his bag to avoid anything getting squished. His headphones were placed around his neck for now. The Allmight stickers adorning them matching the rest of his outfit, littered with pins, bracelets in his homage. Katsuki has started all his mornings in a similar fashion to this since he was a small child and was still being walked to the park by his parents.

Katsuki was 13 now, he was just about to enter his last year of middle school. He could walk to the park alone by now and honestly preferred it. He loves his parents but he always struggled with small talk since he was a small child if it wasn’t related to the things he liked, mainly Allmight. He was seen as rude or brash as a kid most of the time so he learned to wing it by himself from a young age.

Once he finally got himself out of the door he slipped his headphones on, on occasion he’d stop to admire a cool art installation or a nice car. He grew up in a nice neighborhood since his parents were fashion designers before he was born. The air was hot and humid, summers in Japan were always like this ever since he was a little kid. He’s always hated the feeling of humidity on his skin so he does his best to cover up as much as possible without getting heat stroke in this weather.

When he got to the park he went straight to his spot, there was an area underneath the main play structure where no one would bother him. He slipped under the metal base of the play structure and sat in the mulch. He set his backpack down next to him, making sure not to drop it to protect his snacks.

For a while he sat there watching all the merch collection tours on his phone. That was until he heard a soft but excited voice. It seemed to be a boy his age.

“I like your Allmight backpack!!, i really like Allmight too! he’s like…the coolest ever!” The boy said. He had messy green hair and freckles that dotted his face like stars in the night sky. He seemed to be slightly shorter than Katsuki.

“May i sit here with you?” The boy said quietly snapping Katsuki out of his trance. He nodded quickly.

“Yeah…what's your name?...I’m Katsuki, nice to meet another Allmight fan in the wild” He chuckled slightly, he rolled up his sleeves to show off his Allmight themed bracelets.

“Oh!, i forgot to introduce myself shoot, I’m Izuku, nice to meet you too!...and woah your bracelets are awesome!” Izuku said, with the way his eyes lit up you’d think he’d just seen the most amazing thing in the world. Bakugo chuckled at the reaction.

Izuku moved to sit across from Katsuki, when he sat down he picked up a piece of mulch and began to flip it back and forth in his hand as they talked. Izuku broke the silence after a bit, grabbing a sketchbook from his small backpack.

“Wanna see my Allmight fanart?...its not the best but i really like how they turned out!” Izuku said, seeming to get shyer.

“Hell yeah I wanna see them!” Katsuki said, chuckling slightly. He watched as Izuku flipped through the pages of his sketchbook. The art was actually beautiful, the lines were messy but in a stylistic way, and the expressions and posing were immaculate.

“Woah! you've got some real talent, these are awesome!” Katsuki said with a big smile. Izuku blushed slightly hiding his face behind his sketchbook.

“They really aren’t all that special…but thanks anyways” He flips his sketchbook shut and slides it into his small bag.

Katsuki just chuckled at this, shaking his head.

For the rest of summer they continued meeting like this, they’d discuss their opinions on new manga updates, Izuku would show off his art, and Katsuki would talk about whatever plans he had.

After a while they grew closer, Izuku beginning to call Katsuki “Kachan” Katsuki normally wasn’t a fan of affectionate nicknames but for some reason he didn’t mind this time,

When the end of summer was nearing, they were discussing what school they went to and realized they’re in the same school but have always been in different classes. Katsuki was amazed and slightly annoyed the two hadn’t become friends sooner.
