Long Distance- Kirishima and Deku Sketch Reward (Patreon)

A bit of a story with this one! I've been chatting with this person and we came up with a sort of AU for this

I've been thinking of an AU where Kirishima and Izuku are friends before Kirishima has to go on an overseas mission for a while so the only way they can communicate is via video calls, so Kirishima is…surprised to say the least when he finally does get to see his friend in person again. Soooo we sort of bounced ideas off for the AU, in which this is their first meeting since Kirishima went away for his overseas mission.

But the thing is he thinks that Izuku got a boyfriend or something of his own that he didn’t tell Kirishima about because first of all, Izuku moved to a bigger place while he was gone, and two, Izuku didn’t want him coming over to his apartment at all. Like. At. All. Kirishima's tried, but every time he asks, Izuku comes up with a half hearted excuse as to why Kirishima can't come over and see him. It saddened Kirishima that maybe Izuku was trying to hide his relationship from him, but really, Izuku’s just hiding because he never really got around to telling Kirishima just how big he’s gotten…

It's not easy to tell someone that his hips are so wide that he can barely fit through his own door and his gut is constantly dragging on the ground as he walks

And it's not like Izuku would run into Kirishima while out and about anyway. Kirishima has hope that maybe he'll find Izuku randomly one day when he starts on his patrols in Japan again, but he has no such luck. Izuku isn't worried about it, because he works from home so it’s not really a problem. What /is/ a problem is that he can’t quite get to the door in time to get to his food delivery waiting outside. It’s one of the times Kirishima tries to come over and he stumbles upon the heaps of food and some packages…obviously more for one person, so now he’s even more upset thinking Izuku has guests over but didn’t invite him. Only, the only problem is that Izuku is stuck in the doorway and might have to call Bakugo or Uraraka again to come over and help push him out. Izuku is completely unaware of Kirishima beneath him, or just how flustered he is pinned under Izuku.

Izuku, meanwhile, is used to it and he's had to resize his doors 5 times in the last month, and everyone knows about what's going on except for Kirishima. Because Izuku has a massive crush on Kirishima and is afraid of what he'll think when he sees how different he looks. His upper body is fairly skinny, and even on video calls, Midoriya is careful only to let his face and shoulders be shown to Kirishima. He would never in a million years let Kirishima see how much he's let himself go, and he would die on that hill before he let Kirishima see him like that. So when he heard that the hero was making his way back to Japan? Well, it was a little bittersweet, if only for Izuku since Kirishima didn't exactly know that Izuku was going to ignore him as soon as he stepped foot onto Japanese soil.

Kirishima is trying really hard to come up with ways to confess but he can’t really do it if Izuku doesn’t want to /see/ him. It wouldn’t really be manly if he didn’t do it in person. So of course, Kirishima decides to face things head on and make his way to Izuku's apartment after he finds out where it is based off of Bakugo's visits to an unknown apartment (what? Kirishima has his location for emergencies, and this might as well constitute as an emergency if Kirishima is losing sleep over it.)

So, flowers and bento in hand, Kirishima knocks on Izuku's door and waits...only to be crushed by a massive mound of flab two minutes later (after Izuku struggled for that amount of time trying to even reach the door handle with his massive gut in the way).

And when Kirishima finally finds a way to see Izuku? Well, it's only natural that Izuku grows more.

But maybe at a steadier pace because he’s still not sure what Kirishima thinks. But Kirishima, in his mind, frowns and thinks that Izuku is not eating enough. Surely Izuku is still hungry judging by the way he’s eyeing things other than the measly salad he piled onto his plate. So Kirishima leans in and offers some of his own food to Izuku. But then /that/ makes Kirishima realize that he /likes/ feeding Izuku.

And Izuku, after some thinking, realizes that he really loves to eat, especially when it's Kirishima that's feeding him. Doesn't really matter to them that Izuku is still growing and his already impeded mobility is dwindling even faster now if they're both happy.

Kirishima’s hero career could /easily/ pay for it, so he doesn’t mind. Actually, Kirishima suggests that maybe Izuku could move in with him. For convenience of course! It becomes a priority to him-- fixing the doors in his house. Since Izuku moving in can't happen right away, Kirishima spends his nights at Izuku’s place

And he vows to make them wider than Izuku's already massive doorframe since he can see Izuku already struggling, slightly, to get through the ones in his apartment now.
