This carefree, unbridled joy and amusement. And he wanted to be the reason Katsuki laughed.
He wanted to hear it again.
And in that moment, Izuku knew he had royally fucked up.

He stayed out of Katsuki’s way, avoiding him, watching him from the window. Watching him thrive when Izuku wasn’t around. He didn’t want to be the reason Katsuki’s smile dropped. He didn’t want Katsuki to look at him like that, with fear and disgust.

The house felt lived in, the radio humming retro songs, Katsuki singing along. He was a terrible singer but he sang with all his heart.

The brighter part of life that Izuku had lost with the business. In the two months of marriage, Izuku had gotten used to Katsuki’s presence in his life. The house no longer smelled stale, filled with the smell of stew and oranges.

In all honesty, Izuku had forgotten what it was like to laugh after all these years in the underbelly of the city, knee deep in politics and bloodshed.
