The way orv says even the most boring, cliche, convoluted story is worth telling if it is loved. The way orv says people are stories made up of everything they've experienced and everyone they've known throughout their lives. The way orv says I love you. You are a story worth telling.
You cannot tell me he doesn't love Midoriya Izuku. There's so much yearning in the soft way he says, Izuku.
Katsuki in love. There are no other thoughts inside that head, only Izuku.

Deku:
Sero: damn
Sero, getting down on one knee: do you wanna be silly with me for the rest of your life?
Todoroki:
do you ever look at someone and go like “yep, that’s definitely a child of hermes”
Bakugo, beats Izuku at a video game for the hundredth time: You okay?
Izuku: I do not care if you’re twice my size. I will gather my strength like a mother seeing her child in danger and body slam you so hard.
Bakugo: I wish people could see that you match my freak in competitiveness.
