not here right now try again later

mostly dkbk and occasionally togachako

(my main is @nymphfail but I don't post mha there)

it won't touch him when dkbk are sparring, too scared of hurting him probably, and when Katsuki does get hurt it has two reactions: 1) goes berserk and is about to take everything down with him and 2) tries to help him

that second reaction is a lot more subtle but the one example I can think of right now is how after Katsuki comes back to life blackwhip carefully wraps around his broken arm

with that in mind, if Izuku hadn't lost OFA I think it'd be fun if dkbk's post-war codependency extended to blackwhip

like it would keep wrapping itself around Katsuki without Izuku's consent and it'd bring Katsuki close to him when they (rarely) separated

aside from the borderline unhealthy codependency (refusing to separate, sleeping together because of nightmares, having near panic attacks when they don't know where the other is etc etc) they're also just very sweet with each other now that they're on good terms again because they're both just so happy about it

they walk together to class sleepily bumping on each other, they unspokenly hold hands when one of them is stressed, they get matching keychains and other little trinkets

Izuku will often carry Katsuki's stuff (because he can't use his arm and because he just wants to) and Katsuki will try to get annoyed and say he can do it himself but secretly think it's sweet

Katsuki will make Izuku eat more because he always forgets to, they have movie nights together and argue over which All Might movies are best

Izuku has always felt...strongly about Katsuki but he has fully deluded himself into thinking it's normal childhood friend behavior. Then after the war he gets ten times worse but he literally saw Katsuki die, right? So it makes sense? It's still normal?

And then there's Katsuki who also acts like it's normal because to him this has been Izuku since they first met so he fully believes he's just Like That. So he's happy enough to indulge Izuku when they're on good terms again and be like 'yeah it's totally normal dw'

Because Katsuki on the other hand can in fact admit he is insane about Izuku and actually really likes this attention so who is he to protest?

So post-war they go around holding hands and sharing armchairs and refusing to spar with others and sleeping together because of nightmares and literally never separating and to them this seems Completely Normal Friend Behavior. (I mean obviously Katsuki is very aware of his pining, but that's its own thing)

Everyone around them is mildly horrified and have no idea how treat them, especially their teachers who aren't sure if they should allow a level of codependency that isn't exactly healthy

Kudo and Diagoro (the fifth user) (the one whose quirk was black wip) have fully just accepted Izuku's insane feelings for him and treat him accordingly

Daigoro goes the technical route of recognizing how Katsuki is Izuku's Achilles' heel and famously reminds him to 'control his heart' when he's involved

Then there's Kudo who just thinks dkbk are so cute and during Izuku's vigilante arc he was like 'all he needs is Katsuki' and then when he wants to explain something to Izuku he'll make examples involving Katsuki to make it more engaging for him
