My copium au where they get to grow up
aaa im reminded of the fact that katsuki knows deku most ;;;;
Katsuki loves getting you flowers, at first he really didn't get it, they died all the time but they made you happy so he got them when he thought of it.
But then he saw a video about what made receiving real flowers so special. It's the fact that they die.
So he would let yours wilt, snip one of the flower heads to add to a small vase as a momento mori before he brought in a fresh bouquet. Bright green stems wrapped in paper, the blooms a different flower each time depending on his mood. You swat at his hands that try to put them in the vase for you. He doesn't know why he likes that so much, that you're so eager to tenderly care for the gift he's given you. How he watches you make flowers last so long because of how you care for them, cut their stems, change their water, take out dying blooms.
In those moments he catches you smiling, humming as you change the water to flowers right on the cusp, of gently fingering a wilted bloom, he knows you'll love him when hes wilted too.
- Jane Austen
do your best, deku-sensei!!!
Who else up succumbing to the darkness?
