Summary
Several quiet beats pass between them. Far away, the ruckus of the rest of the League echoes into the night. Everyone always goes buck wild after these meetings, all riled up.
Dabi holds his hand out. In the shadows it’s hard to see his face, even with Hawks’ eyesight.
“Light?” He offers again, flicking his fingers together. A tiny blue flame pops into existence in his palm and dances against the dark. It’s…sort of beautiful. Like a miniature star.
“…Yeah.” Hawks nods minutely and bridges the gap, stepping closer. He dips the cigarette into the small fire and lifts his hand to shield it from the wind.
Dabi shakes his head. “It won’t go out on its own. Don’t insult me, Birdie.”
Hm. Hawks isn’t sure if it’s the funny nickname or the first breath of nicotine, but he gets a head rush.
“Thanks.” He says, blowing out a cloud of smoke. Warmer already.
***
Or, where Hawks and Dabi start out as nothing, and turn into something, over time. It's complicated.

Summary
“Yeah, what’s new?” Katsuki pokes the fragmented gauntlet. “Can you fix this for tomorrow? I’ve got work at eight AM.”
Izuku deadpans.
He takes a big breath and crosses his arms.
And Katsuki isn’t fucking looking at his biceps again, he’s fucking not, fuck off.
“I just fixed your gauntlets, Kacchan. Like, last week. What did you do this time? These are expensive, y’know!”
“Maybe if you made better shit they wouldn’t break so often.”
“Maybe if you came for maintenance more often like I told you to, they wouldn’t break so often.”
“I’m busy.” Katsuki shrugs.
Izuku gripes like he’s fed up with him (he’s not) and starts picking up the disjointed pieces.
“Ugh, these are wrecked.” He holds one up close to his face and scrutinizes it. “It’s gonna take me all night.”
“You’re here anyway, aren’t you?”

Quirkless, Support Tech brainiac Izuku does a little work for his best friend, Pro Hero Katsuki. If you catch my drift.

Summary
They’re quiet for a minute, and when he looks up, Deku is watching him. Katsuki swallows, forcing it down, for fuck’s sake. Now’s not the time, it’s never the goddamn time. There will never be a time. Even if Deku’s eyes are so, so green.
“Still sky-high on morphine?” He teases. “You’re like a space case.”
Deku laughs a little, and Katsuki begrudgingly aches at how much he missed it.
“I am grateful, Kacchan. Thanks for saving me...Like you always do.”
Katsuki’s hand twitches on the cup. He bites his tongue, holds it an extra second before something stupid bubbles out uncontrollably. Staring at these four walls for days, mostly alone with Deku, has made him weird, sort of sappy, undeniably weaker. Not physically, but metaphorically. Like, in the knees or something.
He can’t imagine more of this. He has to be fucking careful. He draws a wobbly line in the sand and tells himself not to cross it.
“That’s right.” He digs into his pocket to pull out his phone for a distraction. He can feel Deku’s eyes on him, still, probably paired with a mushy, ridiculous smile. “Gonna start charging you for it.”

Summary
"Five days since Steve’s accidental outing. Five days of pretending to act completely normal like he wasn’t having a coronary.
They hadn’t really talked about it again. Because Eddie refused to let it be a big deal. He didn’t want Steve to freak out. But now everything was…magnified, intensified, exaggerated. Like now, he was hyperaware that their thighs were touching as they sank into the fabric.
Five days of really cold showers.
Steve shifted, threw a leg into Eddie’s lap to be more comfortable. Because it had never mattered before, because they were close friends, because physical contact was not an issue. Because Steve wouldn’t pop a fucking boner with his roommate sitting on him."
--
In other words, it's senior year at the University of Indiana. And Eddie just found out his roommate of four years, his best friend, the guy he's head over heels for--likes dudes too. -

Summary
Steve put his hand to his earpiece again and repeatedly tried to call for backup. There was no response.
“God, I hope everyone’s okay. Fucking sucks.” Steve groused.
“Well, come sit back down. You’re wasting your energy.” The back and forth was stressing Eddie out, but he didn’t want to say that.
“And what, pray tell, am I saving it for, Munson? Waiting here?”
Eddie rolled his eyes. “I dunno. When you have to inevitably fireman-carry me out of this place. Or when Henry Creel shows up and we have to take him down.”
Steve snorted, paused, then frowned. “Do you think he will?”
“Um, yeah, most definitely. That’s why we aren’t dead, Steve. We’re lab rats.”
--
Or, the Party is made up of secret agents, and Eddie and Steve fall in love through the danger.

Summary
"For the next few days, Steve very pointedly tried to pretend like nothing had happened, because, well, for Eddie, nothing had. Eddie hadn’t felt some sexual awakening and torn himself up inside with conflicting feelings for one of his closest friends. He hadn’t gone home and laid awake imagining what it would be like to say, 'Hey, actually man, I don’t think these magazines are gross at all, because I actually think I like dudes and I also think I want to kiss you?'"
In which Eddie and Steve pine for one another. They each quietly accept that they're just friends, and that's close enough.Until it isn't anymore.
