Summary
“I can’t believe this aired on TV,” Izuku mumbles into his hands, cheeks still bright red as he peers over his fingers. “Kacchan, this is – oh my god – Kacchan. They’re going to be pulling clips from this for the rest of our lives.”
“Noooo.” Mina tips forward to ruffle her manicured hands through both Katsuki’s and Izuku’s hair. “It’s the cutest thing I’ve ever seen! The most innocent dirt they could ever dig up. Look at those tiny babies!”
Katsuki bats her away. “We’re not tiny, fuck off.”
“Ah! They’ve spotted a frog!” the narrator’s voice chimes from the TV. “The yakitori they were supposed to pick up for dinner has completely left their heads.”
Izuku snorts at that, hands lowering slightly. A reluctant sort of grin threatens at Katsuki’s mouth.
In which Class 3-A discovers two of their own were once featured on an episode of Old Enough! and Katsuki realizes he can't remember the last time he saw his mom look so carefree.

Summary
"Your hands are so soft," he blurts.
Katsuki gives his fingers a threatening squeeze. "What the hell, Deku? Are you sayin' there's a problem with having soft hands, hah?"
Izuku never thought that Bakugou Katsuki, of all people, would willingly give him a hand massage. But here they are, sitting knee to knee, with his fingers lying innocently in those explosive palms.
or
a 5+1 featuring copious amounts of massaging, a dollop of mutual pining, many ridiculous competitions, Izuku’s achy joints, and one very tactile Katsuki.

Summary
Winter, and the subsequent new year, bring with it the regular chill and the irrational fear of stagnancy; the idea that nothing changes and ever will change.
OR: It's been nine months since he's recieved the suit that was meant to spark a change. After a January 1st spent hungover, an otherwise quirkless Izuku wakes up with the base of One For All and the memory of a five-minute conversation with the first vestige imprinted within his dreams. It takes a while for Izuku to accept that he's worth it all, even after everything he's been given.
