Nervous?
Why was Izuku so nervous?
He was just going to a school dance with Katsuki. It would have been practically the same if he was going with Ochaco. They're just going as friends. So why did it make Izuku's stomach feel like he activated the 7th's quirk?
Was it because Katsuki was also a guy? That shouldn't matter. Izuku's been to a dance with another guy before and it didn't mean anything. Was it because he and Katsuki have a more complex relationship?
"Izuku, you're mumbling again." Katsuki broke Izuku out of his thoughts.
"H-Huh?" Izuku looked over at him with wide eyes before relaxing his facial expression as he realized he was softly vocalizing all of his thoughts, "O-Oh, I'm sorry. When I'm overthinking, I lose track if I'm speaking out loud to myself or if everything is in my head..." He scratched the back of his neck with his free hand.
"I know, you do it all the time. I don't know what the hell you're so worried about but quit it. You're supposed to be having fun, remember?" Katsuki reminded him.
Thank All Might Izuku's mumbling was too quiet and fast for Katsuki to pick up anything he was saying. That would have been really awkward. Not that he didn't feel awkward now, but it could've been a lot worse for him.
He must've been so deep in his head that he didn't realize up until now that he and Katsuki were holding hands the whole time. No wonder his scarred hand felt so sweaty.
The more he looked down at their intertwined hands, he nervously pulled away, rubbing his hand against the side of his pants.
"S-Sorry! My hands are sweaty which is really gross and-" Izuku continued to babble on and on until Katsuki interrupted him again.
"Hey, what the hell did I just say? Relax. Quit being all weird already. You do realize my hands are sweaty too, don't you? It's not just you."
"O-Oh, right! Because of your quirk!" Izuku smiled.
Katsuki stared at him for a brief moment, softly blushing as he turned back to face what was in front of him, "R-Right."
He unconsciously reached out the palm of his hand towards Izuku, which the greenette hesitantly held once more.
He could never say this to Katsuki's face but he always liked being able to hold his hand. It usually wasn't for long nor would it be for any reason other than a strategic move during battles where one of them would have to reach out for the other.
Not only did it make him feel closer to the other male, but he liked the warm radiation the palm of his hands gave off. After all, Izuku's body ran mostly cold than hot, so having Katsuki near him to warm him up was a pleasant feeling.
Somehow despite everything being connected within the school, it felt like ages before the two arrived at Gym Gamma, where the dance was being held. The gym doors were already wide open, music consistently getting louder as they approached as the party lights shined brighter whenever they spun over to the two at the door.
Their hands still connected once they walked in, the two nervously stopping once they saw all of their friends already there, dancing with their partners.
