Summary
Katsuki steps back when Izuku moves forward. It’s almost a reflex now, after months of living this way. Like a twisted waltz drilled into their bones, determined to keep six feet of space between them.
Six feet. Always six feet apart. That’s what the advisories say. Stay six feet apart or end up six feet under.

When Love Decides to Stay by princejaelofbabylon

Summary
That night they were fighting again, about something Izuku couldn't even remember, but it didn't matter what it was about—what mattered was how that fight was already one fight too many.
Izuku recalled sensing a foreboding shift in the air—as if something important was coming to an end.
But back then, he was too foolish and stubborn; too scared to face the truth that this decades-long relationship had finally run its course. So Izuku begged and bartered, got on his knees and promised whatever he could just to keep Katsuki from leaving.
And Katsuki, for some reason, agreed.
Both of them should've known better.
Sometimes, the right thing to do is to let go.
