Aa. Most people born into that kind of life always have it.
[He should know. Katsuki had the same experience. Born into a well-off family to loving parents, developing a powerful Quirk, naturally gifted in intelligence and physical ability, popular and praised... Golden child. And then there were people like Yuji and Izuku, born without many of those things. If they both met each other a year ago, Katsuki would have dismissed Yuji as a nobody. Strong, sure, but without a Quirk, no real family, nothing special at all. As painful as it is to realize this, he would've laughed at the very idea of Yuji wanting to be like Gojo. Degraded him for wanting to train under him because no loser would be able to gain someone like Gojo's attention. The very same things he said to Izuku when it came to All Might... A worthless, useless, Quirkless Deku... who grew to become one of the greatest heroes Katsuki's ever known.
Someday, Yuji deserves to hear that truth. He doesn't know why. But every now and then, it presses against the back of his tongue. Does this guy realize what sort of person Katsuki was? He's seen Yuji look at him with affection and trust. What would even telling him that accomplish? If you met me earlier, I'd've thought you were trash. How would that help anything? Foolish. Yeah. But...
That's not who he is anymore. That foolish, stupid boy. Katsuki looks down at Yuji resting so close to his lap, the contented expression on his handsome face. There's a quiet envy inside, not the jealous kind, but the admiration at acknowledging someone else as a greater hero than himself. Izuku. All Might. Yuji. They all have something he never will. Because Katsuki thinks that something is crazy. But it makes him want to protect his friend even more. Lights like these heroes should never go out. If it came down to it, Katsuki accepts that he'd die to make sure Yuji lived... but Hell itself would need to weave something fucking amazing to get Katsuki to such a point. Because he's determined with every fiber of his being to live for Yuji, with Yuji.
He rubs his thumb over the shell of his ear, curling under to massage the back of his jaw, then heads into his hair again for another few lazy strokes and combs. He's happy to have Yuji as a friend. More than a friend.]
Haa?! When the hell did you start beating the shit out of just anyone? [Katsuki thinking Yuji randomly mistook the guy for a whole new person and launched an attack. Granted, the hero might do the same if he saw Shigaraki or All for One suddenly show up.] Who'd you think he was?
