From The Sidelines Quotes

“Weird, how love is,” Izuku talks to the sky, swinging his legs as Katsuki piggybacks him, “Someone can have the ability to crush your heart in the palm of their hands, stab it with words that kill and actions that torture. And you’d still hand it over to them.”

Katsuki seemed to not know what to say to this for a while, for the blonde goes silent in what felt like contemplation. He kicked gravel on the road under his feet as he walked, and Izuku just held on.

“Why would anyone do that,” Katsuki finally asks, tone genuinely curious, yet cautious.

Izuku laughs and looks down at Katsuki’s side profile, mapping the blonde’s jaw, his eyes, the bridge of his nose, “Because, love feels like flying.”

Katsuki slows down to a stop, looking ahead, words on the tip of his tongue, before glancing to the side where Izuku was facing, but not exactly looking at the greenette.

And Katsuki tells him then, “Everything that flies eventually falls.”

Oh .”

“I thought I wasn’t your type.”

And maybe he had been so quiet that Katsuki didn’t hear him, because after a couple minutes of silence, Izuku turned his head to the side, to find that Katsuki was still looking up towards the sky, awake. He must not have heard, so Izuku leaves it like that. He turns his head back up to the heavens, enjoying the gift Katsuki gave him.

And he was about to simply slip away into a world of daydreams where he got to relive this past night, but in a world where Katsuki loved him too, when—after so long—Katsuki finally responded to his earlier statement.

And Izuku heard it clearly.



“I lied.”
