the box is heavier than you remember. or maybe it’s just you. maybe it’s the weight of the years, of everything you lost, of everything you never got to say.
you don’t even know why you’re doing this. you should’ve just left it buried in the back of your closet, let it collect dust, let the past stay where it belonged.
but you didn’t.
and now here you are, sitting cross-legged on your bedroom floor, sifting through pieces of a life that slipped through your fingers.
old movie tickets, a tiny stuffed keychain he won for you at a festival, a wrinkled napkin with katsuki’s handwriting telling you to stop being an idiot and eat something.
you laugh, but it doesn’t reach your eyes.
your fingers tremble when they brush against the stack of photos at the bottom. a part of you wants to put them away, to close the box and shove it back where you found it. but your hands move before you can stop them, flipping through moments frozen in time.
and then you see it.
the one picture that guts you.
it’s nothing special. not posed, not planned. just a random snapshot of you and katsuki, sitting side by side. you’re talking, mid-sentence, probably rambling about something, and he—
he’s looking at you.
not annoyed, not exasperated, not even pretending not to care.
he’s looking at you like you were everything. like you hung the damn stars. like he could sit there forever, just listening to you, just being with you.
your hands shake as you run a thumb over the faded edges, the ache in your chest growing unbearable.
because you don’t have this anymore.
you don’t have him anymore.
and maybe, in another life, in another timeline where things played out differently, where you fought harder, where he stayed—maybe you’d still have the chance to see him look at you like that.
but in this life, all you have is a picture and the ghost of what could have been.
explain this one, liberals
— hq boys as soft, flirty moments
♡ suna r., atsumu m., osamu m., oikawa t. -> hq masterlist
♡ missed writing for them (suna) so much
— suna’s palm flattens itself against your lower back, he brushes past the crowd and bends down to lowly speak into your ear. a compliment can barely be heard over the blaring music but a heat spreads through your body nevertheless at the smirk that’s spread itself on suna’s face.
— atsumu is always asking for simple favors. only for his hands to wrap around yours when you hand him the waterbottle, or the remote, or his phone…he can’t help it, really, he just gets a little nervous around you and forgets how to flirt.
— osamu has made it a habit to bend down and give you a kiss on your cheek every-time you leave a gathering. he’s very slick with it, the action almost unnoticeable to everyone. well, everyone but atsumu, who shoves his twin and whispers, “make a move already, dumbass.”
— oikawa’s gaze meets yours. the group continues to laugh at a joke he’s made and yet the only reaction he really cares about is yours. you give him a small smile, nodding in his way, to which he returns with a wink and a nod. it’s a small gesture, one you know you shouldn’t read too into, but you can’t help the warmth your heart feels.
OMG OMG WTH !!!! THANK U ALL FOR 100 FOLLWERS !!!
i'm literally so grateful and just HAPPY for this thank u all !! i'm trying to get something out by the end of the week but, idk inspiration just isn't hitting :/
Honestly Sero is such a good character I really wish they had done more with him.
It makes me so happy when I see the fandom appreciating and loving him <3
Yk what I love?
The au where izuku didn’t get into UA and he’s kinda okay with that but he still fucking hates bakugo bc he… yk terrorized him all of middle school. And maybe bakugo still grows up and feels so super guilty abt everything and they meet like on the street or something and bakugo is trying so hard to reconcil but izuku is just like “can u fuck off?”
YES ! YES ! OCHAKO CONTENT !!
Can you do something with Ochako and a fem!reader please?? And it being fluff??
(this is going to be pretty short— but then again, you said “something” so 😭 here it is)
you were ochako’s awakening.
which— ochako feels bad about, occasionally. she doesn’t really know why she feels bad, but she does.
maybe it was because she took a second longer in moving her hand, when she caught you as you were about to fall.
maybe it was because her stare lingered a little longer on you, when she caught a glimpse of you drinking water, and a droplet of water managed to escape the encases of your mouth— trailing down to your neckline like a quick stream.
maybe it was because her heart twinged in green jealousy, when she saw you laugh with a girl that looked like a supermodel, when she saw denki wrap an arm around your shoulders like nothing.
she knew it wasn’t because she thought you didn’t belong to anyone else (which was strange to her, because you weren’t dating her— or anyone for that matter) but it was because she wanted you to do all of those things. make you laugh, wrap an arm around your shoulder— the whole mile.
maybe it was because she was generous in her stares— this time on your eyes. the way they looked so.. pretty, and were bedazzled in whatever emotion you were feeling at that moment. ochako now understood the true value of that saying that went “your eyes are the windows to your soul.”
it’s just a saying— ochako knows that, and she’s not exactly the most in touch with literature, and poetry. she’s appreciative, but not poetic. yet ochako wishes she could lean in, and read every single thing your eyes say. ochako wishes she could lock those sayings into her heart.
maybe it was because she was a little too eager in asking you if you’ve kissed anyone before, or it was because she was a little too eager in answering your question— which mirrored hers.
maybe it was because she was quick to smash her lips against yours, as soon as her feelings were fully acknowledged— way before the elephant was actually addressed.
ochako felt bad, knowing you were her awakening towards her attraction towards women— because she simply thirsted stared at you, and paid more attention to you, than she would’ve to anyone else.
but can she really feel bad, knowing that her same exact feelings are reciprocated?
