You're thinkin' about Quirks too much, Deku. This is magic. I don't need to think about fuel and all that junk.

[Katsuki points that out (literally, by pointing a finger at his friend while he talks), knowing that though Izuku isn't wrong he doesn't have to think so hard about it at the same time.]

I think I should be able to use the rockets without worrying if I'll need to care about gasoline or whatever. Like how Summer users can make flame just come outta their hands?

Though... now that you've mentioned using my feet to fly, that ain't a half bad idea.

[Maybe the magic can be general enough where he can just.. shoot rockets out from wherever he wants? He has no idea how it works, yet. But he's eager to find out.]

I'll have to be careful. I can get used to using a rocket with my hand again, but my feet? The balance is gonna be all off.

[Katsuki hums a little, thoughtful as he thinks about Izuku's suggestion. Thankful that this conversation was doing a good job at distracting him from the nerve pain.]

...imagine how fast I'd be if I was using all four limbs to fly. That'd be terrifying to have me comin' at you like that.

[A big, evil grin is on his face again as he imagines it himself. Just how fast would four rockets be? He'd be a shooting star, at that point. A meteor ready to take out a chunk from the Earth.]

And it's fine that you got it mixed up, you're still getting adjusted. I kept callin' the powers "Quirks" for the first few months I arrived, so I get still thinking about how stuff works biologically. It's hard as hell to get used to the fact that powers here just... work.

Without any rhyme or reason behind 'em.

[He's been slow at learning his own season powers, honestly. Behind the others who arrived around the same time as him, because it's a little much to wrap your head around when you're so used to super powers being biological and with limits.]

[There's a sparkle that suddenly appears in Katsuki's eyes when Izuku says he'll give him a good race, always enjoying the idea of a challenge and being better than his rival. He just grins wider as a response to that, and leans his chin on his left hand as he continues talking.]

Yeah, it's weird as hell here. I'm jealous that no one else has to worry about things like needing to be hot enough to sweat out the stuff you fight with, but not too hot that you overheat and get sick. It ain't that easy to balance and figure out how to use your body the best way that you can without wrecking yourself, and no one else has to deal with that shit but us and the people from our world.

[There's been many, many times where Katsuki was too hot from his Hero Costume and had to do something with a headache or nausea. Of course, it's something he's just gotten accustomed to over time and has learned to prepare for but when he was younger it was so bad. Lots of moments where he had to take a break from training so he could cool off, otherwise he'd get heat stroke.

Summer users? They don't have to worry about overheating at all. They can use their firepower whenever they felt like, in any weather, and any condition.]


Everyone else-- even the people who had super powers before they got here think that Quirks and how they work are weird. They think the way we "worship" Heroes is weird. I've argued about fan merch with someone already, and they think I'm a freak for wanting my face on shirts and stuff.

[It's definitely a culture shock, and that big grin is gone by the time he finishes complaining about it.]
boombam: (the ambitious one got the juice)

[personal profile] boombam 2025-08-12 06:10 pm (UTC)(link)
[Katsuki nods. Even with the help of support gear, you've got to pay close attention to your body and it's needs. He feels like if Quirks worked more like magic, people would be... way stronger. Explosions without the need of nitroglycerin to make it work? Just.. being able to blow stuff up without any worry? That'd be crazy, honestly. He'd be even more unstoppable than he already is, somehow.]

Our world is one of the weirder ones out there, apparently. I've had so many people question how our society works and make dumb assumptions about it or shit all over Heroism.

[It's so silly to him that people can't grasp the concept of Heroism, and that it's usually just comic books and movies where people go out of their way to save lives like that.]

Someone even called me a "child soldier" once. Really pissed me off.

[It's not... entirely wrong...... but he still doesn't like the idea that they shouldn't be fighting so young or that it's wrong wanting to grow up to do something so dangerous.]

It's a stupid comparison. If the adults had it handled on their own, we wouldn't need to get involved this early on in the first place. It ain't like they planned for kids to be fighting in a damn war.

[Katsuki adds that on, as well. Because even if it is quite similar, the difference between these two and actual child soldiers is that they're not supposed to be fighting the Really Bad Guys until after they graduate. After they've finished school, and learning every little thing to prepare them for their new dangerous lives.

And after he says that, he shifts to hold the cold pack on another part of his wound, wincing at how just barely touching it like this burned. Maybe if they hadn't gotten so involved with this "war" back home he wouldn't be so injured but... Katsuki doesn't regret it, and he can't agree with the people who think it's wrong for him to have been involved. That they're "child soldiers" and deserve pity.]


Ugh... fuck. I fucking hate how much this hurts.

[He's still going to complain about it though, even if he doesn't regret being in this situation.]

[Katsuki is quiet for a couple of seconds when he's asked if there's anything else he needed. The only thing he can think of is "more painkillers"...]

...can I have a bite?

[Maybe some fresh blood would help him feel at least a little energized?]

[Izuku is too nice of a friend... sometimes, Katsuki feels guilty for asking things from him because he knows his answer will always be yes. But he also knows that he genuinely doesn't mind doing things like this, and it probably feels good being able to help in the first place knowing Izuku.

So Katsuki doesn't feel as bad this time as he looks his friend over to pick the best spot to bite. In fact, his stomach growls a little now that he's about to eat. And he decides to go with the arm, which is already covered in so many scars to begin with. He grabs Izuku's wrist and lifts his arm up, letting out an "itadakimasu" before chomping down and feeding.

He tries not to take too much, but... he's hungry. So Izuku might be a little light headed by the time Katsuki finishes eating.]

[Once Katsuki feels like he's had his fill, he pulls his fangs out of his friend's arm and licks some of the blood away from the wounds. Unfortunately, he's not the kind of vampire than can heal wounds himself but it doesn't matter that much. He figures Izuku will get himself a few bandaids and call it good, so he lets go of the other boy's arm so he can do just that. And he nods at his question, as well.]

Yeah, it really did. But your blood is energizing me, a little.

[It's always better fresh, and Izuku's blood felt particularly strong... maybe it was just placebo, and there really wasn't a difference between everyone's blood. But Katsuki feels like everything about the green haired boy was just filled with so much determination and willpower, that no doubt it runs through his blood too.

...nah. It's definitely placebo. Placebo and bias--]


Could still use a nap, probably. But I don't know how the hell I'm gonna sleep with this hunk of metal attached to me.

[personal profile] boombam 2025-08-21 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
[Katsuki is thoughtful for a moment, considering the best way for him to get some rest. He knows it's a good idea to sleep when his body needs to recover like this, so it's not like he's actively trying to fight sleep... but it might be awkward or hurt if he lays down.]

It might be better if I slept sitting up, so I don't chance rolling onto my arm.

[It's embarrassing as hell, what he's about to ask Izuku to do. But the other boy wants to help, so..]

...could you, I dunno... sit with me? So I don't fall over or something stupid?

[Maybe he can sleep against a sitting Izuku, and it'll keep him upright...]
boombam: (17719062)

[personal profile] boombam 2025-08-22 12:26 am (UTC)(link)
[Katsuki sees how Izuku looks a little surprised at his suggestion, and he scowls hard in response to it. But he won't take it back, since Izuku's willing to give it a try... even though he feels embarrassed and wants to--]

We'll go to my room. I ain't letting Sensei or Todoroki walk in on us sleeping on the couch.

[Even with all this time of learning to be more open and nice, he still doesn't like the idea of other people seeing him be soft. Even his own boyfriend.... he's such a weirdo.]
boombam: (17793376)

[personal profile] boombam 2025-08-22 01:38 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah.

[Katsuki nods. And as he watches Izuku rinse his mug out, he suddenly feels.. really grateful that his best friend was here with him. This place really was like a second chance, and even if the circumstances haven't been the best it's still a little fun living with the other boy and having these "sleepovers". It reminds him a lot of when they were really young, and used to hang around each other's homes more often. They never really had sleepovers, no. But just being in the same home as the other boy felt nostalgic all the same.

And after a quiet moment, still sitting at the kitchen table, Katsuki suddenly says something.]


...Deku.

[It's just the other boy's name, but he seems to have something else to add on to that. He's just waiting for the other boy to respond, first.]
boombam: (17947167)

[personal profile] boombam 2025-08-22 02:09 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you.

[Is what Katsuki replies with. Short and to the point, and he gets up from the table to head towards the stairs. He knows the other was probably expecting a threat of some kind, maybe his usual "if you tell anyone about this I'll kill you", but... he just wants the other to know that he appreciates the help. So he keeps those empty threats to himself, this time.]
boombam: (bounded by the noisy heartbeat)

[personal profile] boombam 2025-08-25 05:33 am (UTC)(link)
[Katsuki will wait on his bed for the other boy to arrive, and he perks up when he hears the knock. The door wasn't closed, but he appreciates the notice of his presence and he stands up and walks over to grab one of those pillows. Even if he's in pain he wants to be helpful...]

That was a good idea. These'll help.

[The more comfort the better!! He walks back to his bed and puts the pillow to the side, and then takes a seat.]

I'll let you figure out how to prop everything up.
