ONE.

[Though Izuku's been in Chroma for months already, he's never really gotten out of the habit of rising early to start the day. Usually, that means training of some kind out by the forest.

This time, Izuku's hung up a few wooden targets in the trees, while he stands some distance away from them, sparking with his quirk's energy. Every few minutes or so, he'll raise his hand and, bracing himself by gripping his right wrist with his left hand, flick a finger to launch a light wind pressure attack at the targets in succession. Though a couple of them hit, he ends up missing most of them, making him huff in frustration, shaking out his hand with a wince.

It's around then that Izuku turns and notices he has company.] Oh, hey! [The pained look quickly disappears, a sunny smile taking its place, like nothing was wrong.] I'm not in your way or anything, am I?

TWO.

[As much as Izuku likes to train, it's not exactly feasible to be doing that 24/7. (And he knows he'll get scolded if he tried.) So on some afternoons, Izuku can be found in the gardens, still slowly practicing his sewing.

Or rather, he should be practicing his sewing, but instead he's become distracted. Rather than working on his pet project, Izuku's grinning as a fluffy brown cat attempts to pounce on the string he's dragging through the grass or dangling in the air. The pile of fabric and other materials has been left off to the side, abandoned.

The cat, with its sharp hearing, of course, hears someone approaching before Izuku does. It perks its ears, turns and looks right at the approaching stranger. Izuku follows its gaze until he spots whoever's standing there. With a soft laugh, he holds out the string.] Want to join us?

THREE.

[Wildcard! If you'd like another prompt, just PM me and we can figure something out.]

Comments

[His hand might be cooling down, but his cheeks are doing the exact opposite. It's not fair, that Shouto can be sweet like this without any warning.

It's no surprise that the kiss to his hand distracts Izuku enough that he completely misses what Shouto said.] What?

[glaciers]

[Shouto looks... pretty amused, actually. Did he do this on purpose? He sure did.]

Don't forget to take care of yourself.

[inheritance]

[Don't give him that look! Izuku just grows even more flustered, though he gives Shouto a rather suspicious look.]

I am taking care of myself. [He's doing better than he was before! Which... really isn't that high of a bar to meet, honestly.] Not only that, I don't think I'm going to forget to anytime soon, when I have someone who reminds me of it all the time.

[He's talking about you, of course.]

[glaciers]

[A low amused chuckle as he continues gently cooling Izuku's wrist.]

He's not going anywhere any time soon. You'll have to deal with him reminding you.

[inheritance]

[It's Izuku's turn to lean in, brushing a chaste kiss on Shouto's cheek.] Wouldn't want it any other way.

[Aaand, well, he doesn't think Shouto's going to be too happy with him if he jumps right back into training soooo, Izuku smiles at him warmly.] Want to walk around the town with me? There's something I've been wanting to do for a while.

[glaciers]

[For as much as he dishes out, there's only so much he can take. A slight blush rising to his cheeks and a small smile curling his mouth.]

Alright. What is it?

[inheritance]

Taking pictures of things I want to remember from this place! [Izuku says brightly, in reply.]

I've been careful about taking my phone everywhere, since I can't replace it if it gets broken, but it'd be nice to have pictures to remember things by when we all go home. At least, that's what I thought.

[Though he's still smiling, there's just a flicker of something a bit more bittersweet in his expression now. It's something he knows he should do regularly, especially when they're not sure when their friends might disappear.]

[glaciers]

[Ah... the ever present reminder that all of this, their friends, their relationships they might not last. He doesn't even know if they'll remember anything once they go home.

He squeezes Izuku's wrist tighter for a moment before relaxing it.]

It's not a bad idea.

[inheritance]

[With a gentler smile, Izuku hops to his feet and tugs Shouto up with him.]

I can take pictures of things you want to remember, too, Shouto. There's enough space in my phone for both of us.

[Though Izuku's choosing to believe that they'll remember, the pictures are...just in case. It's always good to be prepared for any scenario.]

[glaciers]

[He'll let himself be tugged up.]

... Our room with us in it.

[Because even if he forgets everything, Izuku's phone will carry that. They lived together, they have this thing they're building up between them.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku squeezes his hand, knowing exactly what Shouto's thinking.]

Yeah, let's take that one first.

[He says it softly before tugging Shouto along the path. He'd like to think that in the worst case scenario, if they did end up forgetting, he and Shouto would find their way back to each other if they just had something to start it all off. But if it turns out they were worried for nothing, it'd still be a nice reminder of the time they'd spent together in Chroma.]

[glaciers]

[He doesn't want to forget. There's too much he's forgotten and had to remember because of his past. It would be nice to simply remember.

He leans into Izuku.]

Thanks.

[inheritance]

[Izuku leans right back, smiling at him gently.]

You don't have to thank me for that. It's for me, too, you know.

[glaciers]

Yeah, but we're doing it first.

[And it's going to be on Izuku's phone instead of his.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku catches Shouto's eyes now.] Because it's important to me, too.

[He's sure Shouto must know that by now, but Izuku figures it's worth being extremely clear about it sometimes, just to make sure.

With the cottage being so close to the clearing, it takes them only a little time to get back home.]

[glaciers]

[He knows it, but it's nice to be reminded sometimes. Hearing it aloud is always nice, even if he can't bring himself to ask Izuku to say it.]

It's our home here.

[It's the first place they really kissed too.]

[inheritance]

A lot happened here. [Izuku agrees, exhaling as they stop just in the doorway of their room.]

It's where we became closer friends, and where we told each other how we feel about each other. [Here, Izuku smiles at him again, pinking up at the reminder. Maybe he's being a huge sap right now, but...] I don't want to forget any of it.

[glaciers]

A lot of our firsts happened in this house.

[Shouto smiles back at him, pulling him closer.] Then we won't forget. [That might not be how it works, but maybe he can will it.]

[inheritance]

We won't. [Izuku leans against him, letting that promise sink in, before drawing away and stepping into the room.]

Where did you want to take the picture? [A quick look into his desk, and Izuku pulls out his phone.]

[glaciers]

Our bed?

[That should make it at least a little bit more obvious what they are to each other.

He hopes.]

[inheritance]

[Immediately, that brings a blush to his face, but he nods.]

That. That sounds like a good idea.

[He plops right down on the mattress and fiddles with his phone to bring up the camera app.]

[glaciers]

[Sometimes Shouto says things just to watch Izuku blush. He feels like he's allowed as his boyfriend though.

Shouto drapes himself over Izuku and kisses the top of his head.]

[inheritance]

[Izuku, having figured out that Shouto occasionally does things to just fluster him, relaxes into the touch fondly.]

Stay like that? [He murmurs, bringing the phone up to snap a picture. This way, at least, there's no room for doubt.]

[glaciers]

[He's smiling into Izuku's hair while he stays where he's told.]

Should be plenty clear what we are to each other, right?

[inheritance]

I think so. [The shutter sound goes off, and Izuku beams at the picture on the screen.]

Let's take another one. [Before he can protest, Izuku tugs Shouto down until he can press a kiss to Shouto's cheek. Click!]
