#but i feel he's just as emotionally reclusive in canon as bakugou

Izuku is probably like, A+ when it comes to pda-cuddling/hugging? ON that. Smooches? He can and WILL. Ruffling hair, leaning against the boo, holding his arm (because Kat's hands get,,,, very sweaty,,,)? He can do it! And Will do it! No problem whatsoever! Katsuki is endeared, mortified, Shooketh, dying and has about 4 years added to his lifespan, every single time

I like to think that at first, Midoriya has never really received a ton of pda except from his mom, and so even just having the UA students saying those nice things to him was kind of A Shock, BUT. After starting to feel comfortable around other people, knowing they won’t make fun of him or pity him, he is VERY open to pda, and once you get that hugging machine going, there is no stopping it. Those arms aren’t just good at breaking, lemme tell you that!

In regards to Bakugou Katsuki, the sacred chalice, the one thing he’s always wanted to reach out to, but could never be more untouchable. YES. Once he’s comfortable with his relationship with Kacchan, it is fucking ON. He loves that mother fucker and he loves pda - what do you do when you love two things at the same time? Smash them together. I think.

Bakugou has ALSO been averse to pda, but because of his own (and I put this lightly, coming from a place of understanding and relating) emotional constipation. He doesn’t really initiate, because it’s not his love language, but when he receives it? From DEKU? Well, that’s just not fair! He kind of wanted to make it through the day without his heart doing another damn set of jumping jacks! But yeah, those extra four years are appreciated, since it’s four more years of his childhood friend by his side :’)
