Everything I Wanted (Todoroki x Reader) Soulmate Au

inspired by Everything I Wanted by Billie Eilish.

TW! Mentions of contemplated suicide and insecure thought that could be triggering.

soulmate Au! Where your soulmate tattoo appears on your wrist after you touch your soulmate for the first time.

F!reader x Todoroki

F!reader x Bakugou (brotp)

Plot: the reader is Todoroki’s soulmate, but he doesn’t want to let some mystical ink on his wrist dictate who he should love, so he rejects reader as his soulmate. This story is about how reader first reacted to the rejection and how slowly reader lets herself heal, but what the universe wants it will get.

Part two out now!

This is my very first post on here! I hope you guys enjoy!

I had a dream I got everything I wanted Not what you’d think And if I’m bein’ honest It might’ve been a nightmare To anyone who might care

Every night you’d wake up drenched in sweat, panting as you tried to calm your breathing, tears staining your rosy cheeks. Every night you had the same nightmare, you wished it was just your mind overthinking, but sadly it wasn’t. Even in your dreams you’d replay that memory in your head over and over again.

“ I’m sorry (y/l/n), but even if your name is tattooed on my wrist and even if fate says we are meant to be together, I can’t return your feelings. My heart belongs to another. I’m truly sorry if I’m not what you expected as a soulmate.” He told you with nothing but sincerity in his voice. The sad and hurtful truth.

“I-It’s okay. I understand Todoroki-san. Don’t worry about me I’ll be fine” You said holding in the need to cry, and the need to let the crawling feeling in your throat free, to scream and yell how once again this world was nothing but cruel.

He gave a slight nod of his head before walking away from you. His other half as written by the universe and written on your left wrist.

You looked down at the floor clenching your fists and look up once again to see him standing with the rest of the A-1 class who was chatting as they waited for class to resume. A lone tear raced down your face.

“I’ll be fine” You whispered to yourself.

‘I have to be’ you thought.

As a young girl all you ever did was fantasize about your soulmate. You thought it would be a dream come true for you when you would finally get to meet them. You would get your happily ever after like in those princess tales you’d love to read before going to bed. You thought you’d have the perfect white picket fence life to look forward to.

As a young foolish girl you thought life would be easy.

you didn’t know your parents were going to sacrifice their lives to save others.

you didn't know that you weren’t quirkless and that your parents had been using ‘vitamins’ to suppress your quirk because of how dangerous it was when your emotions went haywire.

you didn't know that it wouldn’t get better contrary to what your therapist would tell you.

you didn’t know that you weren’t going to make as many friends as you had hoped you would.

and what hurt the most was that you didn’t know your soulmate wasn’t going to be your knight in shining armor like you had hoped.

Thought I could fly (fly) So I stepped off the Golden, mm Nobody cried (cried, cried, cried, cried) Nobody even noticed I saw them standing right there Kinda thought they might care (might care, might care)

It had been a month since Todoroki rejected you as his soulmate. You thought you could've gotten over it but as always it seemed like the universe wanted to punish you for just existing. You didn’t participate in class anymore, You made sure to cover your soulmate tattoo so that no one would accidentally look at it, you didn’t tare your gaze from the floor, you thought that it wouldn't hurt as much if you didn't have to look at him, but then the rumors started spreading and then the rumors weren't so much of a rumor.

“ Todoroki and Momo made it official!”

“ I knew they were soulmates, I mean just look at how perfect they look together.”

“ Did you see the picture Momo posted of their soulmate tattoos? I'm so jealous!”

It was all too much for you, so you ran and you ran until you found yourself on the rooftop of U.A. and you let the tears you were holding in fall.

You let the monster crawling at your throat free, letting yourself scream, letting yourself voice the hurt you had been bottling up.

why weren't you good enough for anyone?

not good enough for your parents to live for, they would rather die for others than to live for you.

not good enough for your classmates, they barley talked to you or invited you to places like they did with each other.

not good enough for your soulmate to want you. hell he’d rather cover you up than let people know fate had chosen you for him, were you so disgusting that you weren't even worth mentioning as the soulmate he rejected?

“stop” you whispered to your thoughts.

“ please just stop” your voice sounded hoarse.

“I just wanted everything to stop. To end” you said louder to no one, because no one was there, because no one cared.

you slowly walked towards the edge of the roof and looked down at the ground.

your eyes were void of anything, they looked empty.

shakily you put one foot out into the nothingness, into the only thing that could stop you from letting the pain overwhelm you. you closed your eyes ready to fly.

‘This world is so cruel and yet so beautiful’ you thought before letting your eyes snap open and gasping.

your eyes regained a light and tears began to swell once again, you let yourself fall backwards away from the edge of the building.

Yes the world was cruel and life wasn't fair, but it was also beautiful. there was still so much you wanted to experience, still so much that would be worthwhile.

after sitting on the floor for what felt like hours, you heard the distance sound of the bell signaling the end of lunch. you slowly picked yourself of the ground and cleaned your tears with the sleeve of your uniform jacket.

you made your way back to class 1-A. you were the last one to walk in, and some of your classmates glanced up at you, but they didn’t say anything about your puffy red eyes, they didn’t ask why you weren’t at lunch, they didn’t ask how your day was going so far, they didn’t ask if you were okay.

because you were not okay.

you once again felt a heaviness in your chest.

you thought they would care at least a bit, they were heroes in training after all, yet it seemed like they hadn’t even noticed.

they hadn’t even noticed your absence and maybe they didn’t mind it in the slightest.

I had a dream I got everything I wanted But when I wake up, I see You with me

Maybe you were too wrapped up in your own mind or maybe you finally lost it, but for the life of you, you couldn’t figure out how you ended up like this. Eating spicy noodles quietly with your class’ very own lord explosion murder sitting across from you.

If you were to ask Bakugou why he demanded you have lunch with him, he’d say it was because your dumbass face was the only one he could stand enough to willingly share his homemade noodles with, and if you were to ask him why he was sharing noodles in the first place, he would tell you to shut the hell up and just eat without questioning him.

What Bakugou would never admit is that when he was roaming the school grounds during lunch two weeks ago he saw you standing at the very edge. He stood frozen in place, not sure of what he could do, but before he could will himself to move he saw how you feel backwards and out of his sight. He knew why he froze because he remembered a comment he made to deku before they entered U.A. He obviously didn’t mean it, but seeing you so willingly to just dive of a building made something in him feel guilt for making such an insensitive comment even if it was to deku.

He really didn’t know you well. He knew that he had never actually seen your quirk in action though probably more than half of the class could relate to that since you never really used it. He knew pretty much that he didn’t know you at all and that unsettled him. Sure he wasn’t the most sociable guy or easiest to approach, but he at least knew a couple of things about each of his classmates friends.

So he decided to pay more attention to you, he noticed how you really didn’t talk to any of your classmates and how they wouldn’t try to include you in their conversations. He noticed you always walked with your head down not really looking at where you were going. He noticed the bags under your eyes making themselves more prominent. He noticed how sometimes when you would space out in class you’d be staring at the back of the class where the half and half bastard would sit. He became aware of your being but he still didn’t know how to approach you.

The opportunity came after an awkward encounter.

Everyone (or so you thought) had gone out to who knows where and like always you hadn’t been invited. You decided to train for a little while. You had been slowly progressing with being able to control your quirk, but after your conversation with Todoroki you were back at square one. Your emotions were a train wreck making it hard to control your quirk. Becoming frustrated with yourself you decided to call it a day but since you were sweaty you went to take a shower first. You forgot to take your clothes with you, and since you were by yourself in the dorms you didn’t think it would be that big of a deal if you ran to your room. Midway there you bumped into a wall that wasn’t there this morning. You looked up and there was Bakugou looking down at you.

‘Oh shit I’m going to die’ you thought but then you saw Bakugou frown as he looked directly at your uncovered wrist.

‘Shouto Todoroki’ Bakugou narrowed his eyes. He finally understood why you had been acting more closed off than usual, and maybe if you had looked a little harder you wouldve seen the understanding in them.

“Sor-” you began to say but he cut you off

“get dressed and meet me in the kitchen” he said before walking away.

After that day things changed for you. Who knew eating noodles in silence with an angry blonde could set you on your path to healing?

Every time you saw them holding hands you didn't have enough time to let yourself question what you could have done for that to be you.

“hey dumbass hurry up or I’ll kill you” the red eye blonde would yell at you once he noticed you lagging behind. Making you forget about the black ink on your wrist and making you worry about how bakugou was going to react to you getting a C- on the test he spent a whole afternoon helping you study for.

And you say, “As long as I’m here, no one can hurt you Don’t wanna lie here, but you can learn to If I could change the way that you see yourself You wouldn’t wonder why you’re here, they don’t deserve you”

It was close to the end of the school year and if you were to say that much hadn’t changed you’d be lying.

thanks to practing your quirk with bakugou and him suggesting meditation to help you stay calm you were finally able to control your quirk enough to use it without fear around others.

Through him you also became friends with the rest of the bakusquad and they helped you warm up to the others.

all the second guessing and the comparing yourself to others didn’t cross your mind often anymore.

unbeknownst to you every time you peeled off the layers of insecuirty that held you back from expressing yourself bakugou would smile glad that you,just like him, could get passed the pain left by an unrequited soulmate bond.

also unbeknownst to you, as you began getting along with the rest of the class and opening up, he couldn’t help but be captivated by some of your quirks. How you would help the likes of denki study even when you weren’t better off yourself, how you were the only one who entertained Midoriya’s rambling and even added comentary.

He began to get to know you and he could see how the universe could’ve blessed him with a soulmate such as yourself. you were the complete opposite of what he was used to, the todoroki home wasn’t exactly the most affectionate.

He was seeing you bloom right before his eyes and all he could feel was guilt as he diverted his eyes to look at his left wrist.

‘Momo Yaoyorozu’

He softly caressed his thumb over the name and even with his soft touch the fake dark ink smuged.

He thought he had what he wanted.

He thought the universe had been wrong.

He thought it was for the best.

but as he saw you bickering with bakugou he found himself wondering what he could’ve done for that to be him, for you to be open with him like that.

he knew he was wrong but he was too far in to fix it.

If I knew it all then would I do it again? Would I do it again?

lastly Todoroki knew that even if you found it in yourself to forgive him, he still wouldn’t deserve you.

Thank you so much for reading this far if you did! I don’t know why I couldn’t get this out of my head and so here it is. Also I threw in an AOT reference to cope with the pain.

BnHA Ch. 323 - parallels and comparisons

Most important thing first: Mic name-calls “Jeany” after Best Jeanist interrupts him and insults the UA teachers, saying the citizens find it hard to hear the truth from schoolteachers. Excuse me, PRESENT FUCKING MIC IS A PRO HERO WHO FOUGHT IN THE WAR AND ARRESTED THE DOCTOR. Ultimately, Jeany is trying to take responsibility, which is good, but the way he does it is insulting. Is that really how the Top 3 feel about the UA teachers? (This started out shitpost-y, but I think it does actually matter….)

On to Nezu, who, despite all his well-repressed rage, is still just a rat principal building a cage. He’s created an elaborate mecha-vault-campus to capture save humans and transport them around the country like Willy Wonka’s great glass elevator. Nezu says he did this on intuition, yet that can’t be the full story because his High Specs quirk gives him great insight into possible strategies the villains will use. In fact, the last time we saw his quirk in action, he was trapping 2 students in a maze, gradually blocking off all paths to the exit. Oh, and who else in BnHA is seemingly able to predict their opponent’s strategies and enjoys doing so? I’m not saying Nezu is “The UA Traitor,” particularly given his speech at the end of the chapter, but I AM saying there are parallels.

In particular, Nezu seems to do a lot of work related to quirk morality, while AFO refers to morals as mere fabrications.

Sticking with Nezu and jumping to the end of the chapter…this isn’t the first time he’s made a grand speech about UA students and the future. After DvK2, while Izuku and Katsuki are under house arrest, Nezu speaks to the school about All Might’s retirement and says how all of the students will “inherit this society.” The word “inherit” makes All Might think about his successor, and how Nezu reached out to him when he was searching in earnest (ie, when Nezu and Nighteye had Mirio picked out). Nezu’s “one step” language also ties back to an All Might monologue from the remedial course days — when Shoto, Katsuki, and the Shiketsu kids worked together to win tiny hearts AND All Might and Endeavor had their first real talk, leading Endeavor to reach out to Shoto.

Speaking of the remedial class moving forward, the Katsuki/Shoto “we are not friends” mutual side eye at the mention of Shiketsu is A Moment. Will the remedial foursome be trapped in an underground classroom!??!?

I think it’s clear that the heroes — pros, teachers, students — need to work together as one to win over “the citizens”. The heroes also need their supporters (hello kid in an All Might shirt!), parents (omg, Mitsuki holding Inko back from recklessly running into the crowd like the Midoriya she is!), friends, and rescued victims to take those steps to come forward. Izuku is moving forward for them, and they need to move forward for him.

I’m not convinced that Nezu’s “ultimate hero” is Izuku; it could be Katsuki, Ochako, Shoto, Mirio (hello underground permeation!), Shigaraki, Class 1A, or the entire “new generation”, judging by his “inherit” comment. Izuku is All Might’s chosen one to inherit OFA, but Izuku is NOT the only one inheriting society’s future. Special, but also not. (More on that later!)

Final bit on the mecha-school…I don’t think anything good in this series has come from being “underground”. I think we’ve already established that “underground” is neither safe nor invincible. Underground Yakuza compound. Underground prison. Underground hero (sorry Aizawa!!) Even when talking about the “ultimate hero,” Nezu speaks in terms of rising.

The text leaks said Eri was with Class 1B, which made me frustrated, but the panel is actually a lovely soft Monoma comforting her. It’s really sweet and shows off Monoma’s heroic heart! (And his off-duty fashion sense, because those buttons add some serious dramatic flair.) But, knowing that Aizawa, All Might, Mic, Thirteen, and the Big 3 are Eri’s usual caretakers makes me really sad for her — why are they ALL gone?? Especially when (1) she’s listening to a crowd call her personal hero a weapon with a cursed quirk, exactly how Chisaki used to talk about her; and (2) Izuku doesn’t HAVE to be the one taking care of her, but I think they’d both LIKE to see each other.

Speaking of the crowd, I do like having “the citizens” as a character. In the early chapters, we heard so much about protecting citizens and keeping society from falling into chaos, but it was all theoretical. With the jailbreak, the war destruction, and Dabi’s reveal, it’s good to see citizens who (1) question the value and robustness of the current hero society; and (2) are scared out of their minds. “The citizens” may be an obstacle for the heroes, but their fear and motivation is very rational under the circumstances. People who were forced to evacuate their home on short notice and hole up in a dormitory while skyscrapers crumbled due to villains gone wild (and, uh, Deku) are unlikely to trust the same people who created this mess in the first place. While WE know and love cinnamon roll Izuku, “the citizens” only know him as the target of Shigaraki’s destruction. He’s billed by Jeany as the One True Hope but the citizens know him as a dirty teenager insane enough to break his own bones in a school competition. He’s somehow related to AFO and is either a bomb for AFO, a Nomu-fied corpse doing AFO’s bidding, a target for Shigaraki, or a weapon against AFO that is falling apart at the seams. None of that is reassuring, so I can see why the crowd gets mad enough to make Izuku’s Danger Sense go off. The heroes need to take a moment to really empathize and understand the crowd’s fear and anger.

What’s missing from this scene? ALL MIGHT. The focus on Deku and the OFA/AFO quirks completely omits that Izuku is All Might’s handpicked successor, and that All Might used OFA as a force for good for decades. Jeany and Ochako confirmed Izuku is the special powerOFA holder, so it’s all out in the open except for how Izuku came to possess OFA in the first place. So much for Mt Lady and Endeavor’s media discussion in Ch.317! Also, as Lady Nagant told us, the HPSC was well aware of AFO and tracked his movements. AFO may have been a secret from the public, but was NOT a blind spot for heroes. Same with Gigantomachia — Gran Torino and Tsukauchi failed to capture him, but they knew of him and his association with AFO. (Nobody, including All Might, knew about the doctor and his quirk duplication prior to Hawks’s spy work and the hospital raid.)

I want to see all of this come into the open because the hero failures stem from All Might working alone in secret to stop existential threats while other heroes fought each other for table scraps. (Think of Manual, who is such a plain and underpowered hero, but was clutch during the war.) Heroes STILL aren’t working together, and to fight dual AFOs they are going to need every last bit of help they can get from each other, from students, and from citizens — quirked or not. Anyone who is willing or able to help should join in.

Unease is referenced in this chapter, and unease is what happens whenever All Might disappears. At first when All Might retires, Twice notes the widespread unease with Endeavor as the new #1. Endeavor himself notes his unease with becoming #1 by default rather than earning it. Shigaraki has a persistent unease with his past (pre-awakening), arguably because All Might never came to save Tenko.

Unease spreading through the citizens feeds into AFO’s win conditions perfectly. He WANTS as many fractured and walled-off groups as possible. To steal OFA and rule for eternity, he needs to prevent a “singularity” of will that opposes him.

Let’s see what happens next chapter — I still don’t think Ochako has quite hit her “light of hope” moment yet, and am not convinced this speech will be it. I do think she’s trying hard to humanize Izuku as the OFA holder, but the irony is, in doing so, she is denying he is a special person to her. Only a few humans are truly special at the societal level, but we all have friends and loved ones that think we are special. That’s right, you are loved, even if you don’t have OFA. You are loved even when you need saving. I think this is what All Might was getting at when he tells Izuku during the Sports Festival that there is something special in Izuku. All Might is saying he feels a connection and a trust with Izuku because they were both born quirkless, which makes Izuku special to All Might. This contrasts with Endeavor and Jeany, who view Izuku as special solely because he is the OFA wielder, and Izuku’s need to rest is in service to that duty rather than Izuku’s needs as a human.

The Beauty & the Deku chp. 2

Summary: Izuku and Katsuki somehow get trapped in a book of fairy tales, to get out of it they decide to play their part in the stories. How far are they willing to go to fulfill the romantic plotlines? Will Katsuki be able to play the role of a fairy tale princess?

ao3

Wattpad

<< Prev | Next >>

When Katsuki comes to, he is washing some stairs.”Wha-? This again? You’ve got to be forking kidding me.” He stood up, inspecting his clothes, some raggedy top, and pants, which at least is not a dress, and went to a nearby well, staring at his reflection on the water, scowling.

“Kacchan?” He heard Deku’s voice from behind, and the blonde turned to him.

“Deku!” Katsuki said. “As you can see, we are still trapped in this nightmare.” He frowns. “What do we do now?”

“Let’s continue trying to go along with the story, maybe if we do it enough times, we’ll get out of here.” Izuku suggested.

Katsuki growled. “Shut up! What do you know? This is probably your fault since you didn’t have to be at the house in the end.”

Deku frowned. “Oh yeah, Cinderella totally broke through a door like you did.”

The blonde scowled back, blustering and turning to look away from Izuku. “Whatever.”

Which was Kacchan-speak for ‘I’m sorry, you’re right', good thing Deku was an expert at reading his childhood friend. “We should continue trying to go along with the story, this time as much as we can with the original.”

“No way, nerd. I already gave that a try and we are still trapped in this hellhole.” Katsuki argued. “It makes more sense to try and make the story different, if it doesn’t let us move on we can find the reason more easily.”

“What if that just makes us be stuck here forever, Kacchan?” Izuku argued back. “Let’s do it like the story says one more time, then if we are still here we’ll try your thing.”

The blonde frowned but sighed. “Fine.”

Izuku let out the breath he was holding and stared into red eyes. “Thank you.”

Silence hung heavy for a second between them for several seconds. “I’m sorry…” Bakugou mutters, surprising Deku. “You know, for kissing you at the end…”

Izuku blushed furiously. “Oh! Uhm, i-i-it’s ok Kacchan, that actually made us move on, so…”

The implication of the previous statement weighs on them, and the silence only makes heat rise faster and more intensely into Deku’s face. If the kiss was what made them move on, did that mean they would have to again until they were out of there?

The most obvious answer was there, if they were in Snow White, like Izuku suspected, that meant they had to kiss to be able to continue with the story.

“Wh-What story are we in anyway?” Katsuki asked if only to fill the silence.

“O-oh, I think we are in Snow White.” Izuku reasoned.

“How are we meeting so early then, isn’t the prince supposed to kiss snow white at the end?” The blonde tried to remember.

“No, I think they met right at the start of the Disney movie.” Izuku explained.

“Crap I can’t remember.” The taller teen rubbed his hand on his face. “How am I going to go along with the story if I can't remember how it goes?”

The green-haired boy bit his lip, he couldn’t blame Kacchan, apart from this being a stressful situation, it has been a long time since either of them either saw the movies or read any books with fairy tales on them. “I think I know how it goes, just make sure to go near the forest and run away from the huntsman and look for a small house, it belongs to some dwarfs.” He explains. “Make sure they let you stay, cook and clean for them or something, the evil queen will look for you, to kill you, she will give you an apple, bite it, I’ll take care of the rest and then we’ll ride off to the sunset.”

“My prince.” Katsuki said sarcastically, and Izuku glared, but his cheeks felt hot. “I got it, I got it, I’m just tired of cleaning stuff, like I knew old men hate women in these stories and think their only use is to cook and clean, I get it, old news, but it’s annoying as heck, you know?”

“I get it Kacchan, I’m sorry, but I really think that we can get out if we follow the script as much as we can.”

“Yeah, except we can barely remember how it goes, you lame nerd, even just talking like this can change the story.” The fiery teen started to raise his tone. “We’re already doomed.”

Izuku cringed. “You’re right, but there must be plot points that make us move on, you know like in Cinderella, the background repeated until we did what it wanted, to move on we need to keep doing just that.” He tried to placate the other man. “This is the best plan we have right now, just go with it until we can think of something better.”

Katsuki stands staring at the other teen for a few seconds, glaring, but pondering what was said all the same. “Fine, but we better get out of this, or I’m going to explode.” He turned away and started walking toward the palace. “See you later, nerd, don’t you dare die.” He closed the doors, leaving Izuku staring.

The wardrobes the stories were putting the blonde in were killing him, he looked so handsome, even in dresses. Now the blonde wasn’t exactly wearing a dress, but elements of it were clearly borrowed, Kacchan was in rags but still looked amazing.

Izuku shook his head, this was not the time to be fawning over Kacchan, he turned around and left the grounds of the palace, unsure of what to do with himself. Jesus, fairy tale princes really were useless and had one shitty line, like Kacchan had said, though maybe like this, he could look for clues.

He looked down and sighed, even his clothes were boring.

۵⚜-The Beauty and the Deku-⚜۵

Katsuki changes his clothes because he is not staying in some ugly rags, besides he is 70% sure Snow White wasn’t dressed so badly, she needs to be marketable, little kids wouldn't buy merch of her if she looked ugly right?

He went near the forest, as Deku had said, and sat on a rock, at least the scenery was always interesting in these stories, as Katsuki had never gone out of Japan, he could almost pretend he was visiting Europe or some shit.

“I’m sorry, princess.” Said a voice, which startled the fuck out of the blonde.

“Jesus fu-!” Katsuki turned around to find Rikido Sato, from his class. “Sato?! You are the huntsman?”

The other man’s eyes widened. “You know my name?!” His eyes watered. “The queen has never called me by my name.”

Katsuki hadn’t either until just then, but he wasn’t about to say that to a man with a weapon while he remained quirkless. “Yes, of course I know your name!” He lied, he was lucky with Sato’s last name, he was between Sato and Sota. “I’m going to be the next ruler of this kingdom, and you my loyal subject.” He was talking out of his ass. “How could I not know your name?”

Sato dropped the knife. “I can’t do it!” He cried. “The queen is trying to kill you, your best option is to run as far as you can and hope she never finds you!”

Katsuki stood up from the ground and scrubbed the dirt off his clothes. “Right, thank you, I guess, for not killing me or whatever.” He jogged into the forest, enjoying it more than he normally would, maybe because it had been a while since he had been able to make one of his mornings runs.

At some point, his foot got tangled on some tree roots and he came crashing to the ground. “Argh!” He exclaimed. “Dumb tree, dumb story, dumb Deku!” He raged, and sat on the ground, finding the cabin could wait. As he lay on the ground feeling sorry for himself he felt small tweets from above, and slowly, animals from the forest came out and stared at him.

The blonde groaned. “One of you better not be Dunce face or Hair for brains.” He couldn’t take any more woodland animals as his friends, although thankfully it seemed none of them was anyone he knew. “What are you doing here then, If not to torture me?”

All the animals started to walk toward somewhere, and Katsuki, having nothing better to do went with them, only to find the small house Deku talked about. He opened the door, finding the insides absolutely filthy. And as much as Katsuki had complained he disliked cleaning, he disliked even more letting it stay filthy.

‘Fucking fine’ He thought because only in his mind he could use his favorite words. “You win, stupid Deku, I’ll clean this pigsty.” Katsuki picked up a broom and started sweeping the comical amounts of dust and dirt, the animals around him started to do the same, and for the first time, he didn’t mind the small woodland animals that seemed to follow him lately.

When he finally finished he realized how tired he was, it had been a few days since he last slept, so maybe now he could take a nap. Bakugou climbed the stairs, peering at the small beds with the dwarf's names, he pushed some of them together so he could fit in and dropped like a log on them, paying no mind to the few small animals that cuddled him, he was too tired for that shit.

He closed his eyes and lost consciousness.

۵⚜-The Beauty and the Deku-⚜۵

“What is that? Is it a ghost?” Said a fearful but familiar voice.

“Ha! There’s no such thing as a ghost.” An angrier voice said.

“Who cares, ghosts can’t touch you, let’s just sleep and be done with it.” Said another voice that sounded just like Aizawa.

With his sleep finally disrupted Katsuki decided to sit up and fuck up anyone who dared wake him. When he rose from the bed, multiple gasps were heard. “What is it now?” He said, the blanket still over his head, which he removed slowly.

When he finally could see, he found seven eerily familiar dwarfs looking at him and gasping once again.

“Prince!” One of them exclaimed. “What are you doing here, young prince?”

Holy shit, this dwarf was All Might. Katsuki gaped at the blonde dwarf, his face a picture of the man’s old glory.

The teen looked at the others, Aizawa, Present Mic, Koda, Kirishima, Kaminari...and Endeavour?!

“Let me guess, you,” Bakugou pointed at Aizawa. “Are sleepy, you,” Present Mic, who let out a very loud sneeze. “Are Sneezy, you,” Koda blushed. “Bashful.” Then Kirishima. “You are Happy, I guess.” Kaminari. “Dunce face, you are obviously Dopy.” Bakugou laughed. “This must be Todoroki’s old man, Endeavour.” The red-haired dwarf fumed. “That leaves you All Might, I guess you are Doc.”

All Might smiled. “Yes, young prince.” He eyed Katsuki as if searching for answers. “What brings you here?”

“Yeah, that, the queen is trying to kill me or something.” The younger man dismissed carelessly.

“The queen is trying to kill you?!” Several of the small men exclaimed.

“Yes, so let me hide here, I’ll cook and clean, or something.” Katsuki forced himself to say.

“Like we would let a stranger stay here in our h-” Endeavour started to say.

“Of course you can stay, my boy!” All Might said. “Isn’t that right?”

“Yeah!” Kirishima, Kaminari, and Present Mic said, Koda blushed, and Aizawa grunted his approval from where he slept.

Endeavour growled.

The next day, after making the seven nuisances breakfast and them lining up at the door to go to the mine, Kirishima took of his stupid hat and watched Katsuki expectantly.

“What do you want.” The blonde said, but he had started to piece what hair for brains was silently asking, the redhead wanted a kiss on his forehead, Bakugou fumed, missing the cracking sound of his quirk. The thing was Snow White obviously did so in the movie, and if he wanted to be truthful with what he promised Deku, he had to kiss the foreheads of these dumbasses and thank god they wouldn’t remember, or at least he hoped so.

He reluctantly kissed Kirishima’s forehead, cringing when the dwarf continued in his way. It didn’t take long for the rest of the short men to follow suit.

Kaminari laughed and thanked him with a teasing smile. Katsuki struggled not to punch with his bare hands. Koda, bless him, just blushed and continued on his way, Aizawa grunted, Present Mic whooped in happiness, and All Might thanked him.

Lastly, there was Endeavour, who Katsuki categorically and morally opposed kissing, as much as he hated the half-and-half bastard his old man was trash and he wasn’t about to ignore that. But he had made a promise to stupid Deku who was probably living it large somewhere as a prince.

Katsuki swallowed his pride if only because he was a man of his word.

He slowly bent to press his lips on Endeavour's dwarfed forehead, closing his eyes to avoid extra trauma, and gave him a lightning-quick kiss.

“It’s not like I wanted you to, brat!” What the fuck? Was Endeavour a tsundere?

Bakugou would never be able to look at the number one hero ever again.

While Katsuki baked a pie in the old-fashioned oven he heard some commotion on the outside. Bristling Katsiki let go of the hot pie and peeked through the window, only to see Shigaraki dressed in black rags and carrying a basket of apples.

Holy fuck, Shigaraki was the queen?!

Katsuki couldn’t help it, he burst out laughing. “You?! Your crusty musty ass is the queen? HAHHAHA” He was nearly crying, Shigaraki looked worse than normal, and that was so hard to do in the blonde’s mind that he had to give the man kudos for surpassing himself.

“W-what? No, I’m no old queen, just an old man offering such beauty an apple.” Shigaraki stuttered, quickly jumping into convincing the teen into taking the blood-red apple in his ugly hands.

Katsuki wiped his tears of laughter. “I’m just, haha, sorry, It’s just been an annoying day.” He explained. “But alright, since you made me laugh so much I’ll take the apple, thank you for the few hours of peace, while that stupid Deku makes it here.” The blonde bit the apple, promptly falling asleep as he heard Shigaraki’s pathetic laugh.

۵⚜-The Beauty and the Deku-⚜۵

Izuku panted as he followed the forest’s animals toward the dwarf's house, where he knew Katsuki was waiting for him, the queen, whoever they were, was probably already chased off a cliff and Kacchan was placed in a crystal case.

He arrived at a clearing, watching as the dwarfs mourned Katsuki’s apparent death.

Wait. Was that Endeavour?! No. No, no time for that, literally everyone they knew was becoming a supporting character in these stories, it was entirely possible Endeavour was too.

...Was he supposed to be grumpy?

Izuku shook his head away from those thoughts and focused on Katsuki’s relaxed face as he slept and the dwarfs took away the glass casing on top of the snoozing blonde. Deku had always wondered why on earth the dwarfs just took off the case for some random prince to kiss the princess? What if it was just some creep? Though he had heard the age of the actual prince was 31, while Snow White was 14, which, what the hell.

Anyways he was getting sidetracked, maybe due to the nerves of having to kiss Kacchan, and the intense gazes the dwarfs were sending the green-eyes teen. He gulped, approaching the other man’s face, suddenly feeling very hot. It's not like they hadn’t kissed before, just two days ago Kacchan had kissed him, and there was always that one time they were 4 and wanted to know what kissing felt like.

However, both times it had been Katsuki who had initiated, not Izuku, Deku had never been the one to kiss someone, and the fact they were not conscious was really bothering him. It was morally incorrect to kiss someone who was unconscious, even if he somewhat knew Katsuki would be ok with it.

He felt dirty, like a 31-year-old prince kissing a 14-year-old girl, well maybe not that dirty.

But still, he did not feel great about this.

Finally, as his lips were millimeters away from Bakugou’s, Deku avoided the pink plump lips of his classmate and kissed the other’s cheek swiftly and reeled back. Katsuki’s eyes remained closed for dreadful long seconds, until red eyes fluttered open, sleepily batting long blonde eyelashes at Izuku.

“Took you long enough, nerd.” Katsuki complained as Deku offered him a hand and a taller teen rose from the adorned crystal bed.

“Sorry Kacchan.” Izuku said, relieved that the kiss on the cheek was enough to wake the other up. “Let’s go?”

Katsuki blinked. “Oh, yeah, you said we now ride into the sunset.”

“I-I mean, y-yeah, that’s how I remember it ended.” Izuku stuttered.

“Thank god.” Katsuki launches himself at Izuku's horse, waving at the dwarfs and animals as Izuku himself mounts it.

“Are you ready?” Izuku said, feeling like he forgot something.

“Yes.” The blonde rushed, a fake smile plastered on his face as he waved. “Let’s go you stupid piece of crap.”

“Right.” Izuku instructs the horse to start moving toward the horizon where a large range of beautiful reds and oranges paint the sky.

“Thank you for nothing!” Katsuki waves again, this time his smile is more genuine as he does a pg version of his usual cursing at the dwarfs and animals that probably don’t hear him due to the distance. “Hope you trip on your horrendous beards and die!”

The green-haired teen sweat drops as Bakugou finally settles down.

That is until he notices the horizon only seems to get further away. “No! Look, we aren’t moving on!”

Deku has to agree, as he notes his surroundings, while the background isn’t repeating, there seems to be no end to the valley even as seconds turn into several minutes. Well, if it isn’t the consequences of my actions, Izuku thought as he meditated the best way to confess why they may be unable to finish the story.

“Darn it!” Katsuki growled in frustration. “I swear I did everything you told me.” He tried to explain. “I even kissed Endeavour’s old geezer head.”

“I know, Kacchan.” Izuku reassured, gulping as he realized he needed to come clean. “It is my fault.” He confessed.

“What?”

“So you know ten minutes ago when I was supposed to kiss you and wake you up from the sleeping curse?”

“Yes…?” Katsuki nodded. “What’s your point?”

“I may or may not have kissed your cheek instead of kissing you in the lips like in the traditional story.” He said sheepishly. “...Sorry...?

Katsuki slowly turns to look at the dumbass he called childhood friend. “What did you just say?”

“...I’m...sorry?” Izuku’s voice got weaker.

“What on earth is your problem?!” Katsuki bellowed, his eyes glowing red. “You SAID that we needed to follow the story to get out, you made me PROMISE I would go along with it just this once.”

The other man cringed. “I know, I know.” He whined. “I’m sorry, it’s just when I had to kiss you, you were unconscious and it just felt wrong since you never explicitly agreed that I could kiss you.”

“It was implied that I wanted to kiss you!” Katsuki yelled and then blushed, Izuku did too. “I mean, it was implied I was ok with it, you bumbling buffoon!” He screeched.

“Buffoon...?” Izuku mumbled as he stared in surprise at red embarrassed eyes.

“Ughhh!” Katsuki said in frustration. “Being this mad without using my quirk is making me lame.” He explained to himself, he took the reins of the still moving horse and yanked it so it stopped. Then he threw his legs over the animal so Bakugou was fully facing Deku. “Let’s just kiss so maybe this can be over, you piece of garbage.”

Katsuki pulled Izuku roughly so their noses were touching. “Don’t think for a second I’m not going to kick your ass into the next century after we get back to UA.”

Before Izuku could respond, their lips smashed together, harder and deeper than necessary, all while he was vaguely aware the world started to crumble and fade into white once again.

The official translations.

I really like how clear it is even though Stain held a sword to his throat Yagi knew he wasnt in danger and Stain still holds Toshi in such high regards even though hes super depressed and self-hating at the moment.

Im glad when Horikoshi sticks with Deku and his relationship to his friends/goal and All Might that his writing is still so good. Shame about the rest of it but at least it gets me to continue reading.

Im really curious about All Mights past... I wanna see it. The world before him seemed so fucked up and Horikoshi never draws him smiling...

Although I gotta say It really chaps my ass about Mirio TBH. Mirio getting his powers back was a fucking mistake. Horikoshi dropped the ball on my boy... Mirio being a Mirror to All Might it would have been so good to see Mirio work hard and be a Quirkless hero his Quirk is NOT necessary for Mirio to succeed which would give All Might hope just as it did Nighteye...

DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED ON NIGHTEYE. (you didnt Im just getting myself worked up for no reason LMAO) the fact Mirio is around and all his potential wasted I feel like it would have been more compelling to have killed him off and had Nighteye live. Nighteye would at least have a better reason to be in the story to help Deku and All Might than the literal nothing that Mirio became.

And I love Mirio but him dying heroically would have been more fucked up and tragic and would have been an understandable connection to Nighteye and All Mights break up. Nighteye having chose someone who is exactly like All Might... ends up with the fate he saw for All might? HELLO? Makes total sense. It would also spur Nighteyes mentor-ship to Deku, added stuff for All Might, and been a big point of trouble with Eris story having her hero die...

That would have been an ACE DEATH(One Piece) moment.

ANYWAYS GOOD CHAPTER... LMFAO.

some of the best fantasy au fics for bnha that i've read

i decided to make a fic rec list of one of my favourite aus/fusions. mostly midoriya-centric, there are some crossovers (with hp), and a lot of different ways in which the authors have taken them - so it could be Quirks, ghosts, outright fantasy aus, spirits, witches etc etc. there isn't a specific order and there aren't a tonne (these are the ones i could find buried in my bookmarks lol), but the ones on the list are all really well written i love them.

i've tried adding relevant information, the summary (shortened if it's pretty long) and just. adding some random tags that may be important. not all of them though. obviously this is not a complete list and there will most definitely be more fics out there, if there are some really good fics that you know that aren't on this list, feel free to tell me, i'd love to read them!!!

i hope someone enjoys these!

The Final Objective: HCCW AU

TW: SUCIDE AND PANIC ATTACKS.

“It’s over Deku!”

“I know, Katsuki.”

He hasn’t called him Kachan since this began.

Kirishima was the first to go. He knows that the only reason he was targeted first was because of him.

Kaminari was next. Not to die or be put out of commission, but as a traitor. He took down Iida with him.

Sero was found wrapped in his own tape. Hanging off the edge of the building, a threat hanging from his neck. When did Deku learn how to tie a noose?

Uraraka was still there, her and Todoroki taken hard by the loss of Iida and the betrayal from Deku.

They were out raiding the villain base while he went after Deku, who was hiding on the roof of some empty school. All the buildings were empty. This was a war after all.

Didn’t mean it didn’t hurt when Deku blew half the city up.

The thought makes his hand itch, the familiar flex of his arms as he clenched his hands awaiting the satisfaction of the pop and crackles from his sweat soaked palms.

He couldn’t feel it.

“Why can’t I use my quirk!?”

He was still turned away from, but Bakugou could still tell what he was saying. His shoulders were back, strained from being forced back after so many years cowering, but still relaxed. The bastard was looking down on him, mocking him.

Deku laughed before he turned.

“This entire area is built with the same technology as the quirk suppression cuffs. You’re essentially quirkless here.” Deku said, his eyes alight with that unnatural sadistic gleam.

Oh, this fucker.

Bakugou screams as he swings his fist, “I CAN STILL FIGHT YOU!”

The damn nerd dodged before he could land a hit, always just that bit faster than himself, always just out of reach before he could pummel him. Before he could beat it into his skull to give up. It still pisses him off.

“If you want to lose.”

That stops him.

“What?” he snarls teeth clenched in a grimace of hate. He can’t feel the heat from his quirk. The calm rush that comes after using it. Its not there. It’s useless.

But if its not there than why is Deku’s shirt burnt? He’s not wearing his usual get up, but it’s still familiar. Why does it look so…?

He’s wearing their old middle school uniform.

“Right now, the remaining members of your team are raiding the villain’s headquarters, but they won’t find my people there.”

His people. The extras that turned against the rest of the class.

Mina and Kaminari.

“They’ll find a trap.”

No.

“At this moment they’re my hostages.”

He’s shaking. He’s furious and he can’t use his quirk. He lost.

He lost to fucking Deku.

“So, you win…Why isn’t it over!??” his throat is scratched and raw from screaming.

He still can’t use his quirk.

“Because I haven’t said so yet. Because I haven’t given you an ultimatum. Because I still have one objective left.”

Deku smiles, cruel and unforgiving, gone was his teary-eyed smile of determination. That smile of defiance. This was like a different person.

But at the same time, it wasn’t.

This was Deku. The same one he bullied relentlessly. The spark behind his eyes whenever Bakugou knew he went too far. The one that Deku let him see, let him know.

It made him angry, so so angry.

That spark was burning from the inside out. Until now.

“Bakugou?! Come in!? This is Uraraka, please answer me! We can’t get out… it’s a trap.”

“I know Round-face! Just…SHUT UP.” He barks back into the coms.

His quirk isn’t working. He can’t fight. He’s powerless. He’s useless. Just like last time.

No. He still has control. This is Deku. This isn’t like last time.

This isn’t the League.

This isn’t the sludge villain.

“What’s your ultimatum?”

“In order for you to win…you have to lose.”

What the fuck? What does that even mean?

“Right now, you are quirkless. You’re alone with no one to help you. Your former best friend standing in front of you. Sound familiar?”

He’s so done with these fucking mind games. He’s going to kill him.

“Tell me how the fuck to win and let’s get this over with you damn-!”

“I’M GETTING TO THAT.”

He never yelled like that before. Deku never acted like this.

That spark of malice was raging now. Deku’s face contorted before slipping away, back to the slightly manic calm it was before.

The spark was still in his eyes.

“If you want to win, you need to lose. Think about that Katsuki. You’re angry, hotheaded, violent, and rash, but you’re not stupid.”

If I want to win…I need to lose?

“The only way I lose...is if I- “

“Yup.” The damn nerd says, popping the ‘p’ pleasantly. Fucker.

He can’t mean that. That’s too sadistic even for him.

(Is it though?)

Deku tosses something to his feet. A timer.

Its going. Four minutes left.

“What is this? WHATS YOUR AIM?!”

“You can’t be the hero and win at the same time. You can’t be the villain FOR TEN YEARS AND THEN ACT LIKE A HERO!”

Tears…its always tears, but he’s never cried until now. Not through all of this until now. So why is he bringing it up?

He’s smiling, hyperventilating. Crying as his hands shake, but all the while still feral and manic. He looks insane.

This isn’t really him.

(It is. He knows its him.)

Villain. Be the villain act like a hero?

That’s it.

Act like a hero, be the villain. That’s Deku.

His mind is whirling, trying to put things together, words on the rooftop spoken put together a story.

He can’t fight back. He’s quirkless. He’s alone facing the one person he never thought possible to hurt him, (and he hates to admit it) his once childhood best friend. An ultimatum, an objective.

It wasn’t Sero’s noose.

Act like a hero, be the villain.

…

So that’s the final objective.

It hits him like that time All Might punched him. He feels like puking. His sweat is hot, but doesn’t ignite. It’s not there.

Its crawling up his throat. Down his throat. He’s suffocating and his quirk isn’t working.

The com is alive again. She’s saying something but he can’t hear her.

“Deku?” the voice is quiet. Hesitant in a way he’s never known. He didn’t think anyone else was on the roof.

The roof of a school…

He can’t mean it. There’s no way he’d bring this up. He can’t save his team unless…

No, he can’t mean it. He can’t mean that.

He didn’t mean it.

“If you want to be a hero so bad, there’s always one way…” Deku looked up, a manic smile scarred across his tear-streaked face.

Bakugou didn’t mean it.

(He did at the time.)

“Just take a swan dive off the roof of the building.”

He’s standing on the ledge, but Deku isn’t the one whose going to jump. He’s just waiting for him. Izuku reaches his hand out for him to grab. Just like when they were little.

The final objective: make the hero the villain.

“It’s over, Kachan.”

_______________________________________________________________

“Bakugou?! Come in!? This is Uraraka, please answer me! We can’t get out… it’s a trap.” She finishes lamely, just in time for Bakugou to yell at her. Todoroki and her continue to search the room.

Its mostly empty save for a table and the several chairs surrounding it. On the table is a photograph of a class. The text says Aldera Middle School of XXXX. She see’s both Deku and Bakugou among the kids in the photo.

She spends longer than she should looking at them.

‘How did it come to this.’

“Uraraka, look.” Todoroki’s voice is urgent and draws her out of its morbid and depressed reverie.

She looks up to see him staring at the corner.

On the wall is a timer.

Less than 2 minutes and going down fast.

“Bakugou, there’s this timer? It’s….it stopped? Bakugou it stopped! We-!”

“The Leader of the Hero Team is dead. That concludes the end of the exam. Please exit the facility to receive the scores.”

This is for a fanfic I probably won’t ever write, but I loved Hero Class Civil Warfare by RogueDruid you can find it down below. Please be kind because I haven’t written anything for this fandom, this is my first time posting anything of my own on here, and I haven’t really written any fanfic since 2017-ish? Anywho, hope you like it!

what do you think about the development of bakugou and deku’s relationship so far? or just about bakugou’s character development in general?

i’ve seen pretty mixed reactions to bakugou’s character development. there are some that are happy with it, there are some that are extremely critical, and i’ve even seen some people compare him to endeavor.

when i first started mha, i didn’t like bakugou at all, but he’s changed a lot since the first chapter. i personally like his development, but i still think that there’s quite a bit way to go. bakugou has atoned through his actions, but he has yet to verbally apologize.

(sorry if you’re not interested in this topic, i just like hearing people’s opinions on it.)

Any of the main characters I'm cool with talking about. It's the side ones I truly don't care to talk about lol.

So Bakugo---whenever I FIRST started BNHA (before Shigaraki's intro) I was super invested in seeing a friendship develop between him and Midoriya because I'm a sucker for enemies to friends. Idk why I just am. Not too long after starting it though it quickly became obvious that they'd become friends so I wasn't as invested. It was too obvious, and then at that point I had completely shifted my focus to the League. So I just kinda took whatever happened with Bakugo and was cool with it. But as far as forming an opinion on his character and everything that's happened so far, and addressing some of the stuff you said about Endeavor, yeah I have some thoughts.

I actually ranted a bit about what I think of Bakugo's arc here, and I'll just go ahead and throw in what I said since I was about to repeat myself. Also forgive my harsh words toward Bakguo he's on my list of favorites despite how many times I call him a piece of shit lmao:

To be honest Bakugo's arc is one of the best, in my opinion. It kinda hit that break through point in the war arc where he made a sacrifice for Midoriya, and now we need to see how it carries out from here.

But the thing about Bakugo is that he's supposed to be a POS. Like seriously he sucks. At first. Nobody in real life would ever put up with a person like that lol. But this is a manga where behaviors are majorly exaggerated for comedy (his explosive anger) and for dramatic effect (his anger toward Midoriya for literally no reason other than personal insecurities), and the people in BNHA-verse are willing to put up with said behavior. Anyway--the reason I think his arc was handled really well is because:

He's a POS person who was actually punished in-story over and over and over again. Rightfully so. He's an asshole who bullies Midoriya for being quirkless. And then he gets captured by a villain, which leads to a lot of city damage and him feeling humiliated because he had to be saved by--you name it--Midoriya. Then once again his pride causes him to lose the first match at UA. Then he wins the sports festival in a way he never ever wanted.* Then because of his asinine behavior at the sports festival the villains genuinely think he's better off with them because it seems like he's being held back by society (he was in chains after all--big yike) and he gets kidnapped. Him getting kidnapped leads to All Might retiring while trying to save him. Then he fails the licensing exam and falls behind his other classmates. He finally starts to show some progress and stops getting punished by the story right around the second Deku vs. Kacchaan fight. That's when he starts actually improving. Somewhat.

*So about the Bakugo being compared to Endeavor--I've seen two attitudes toward it. Some people think it's a horrible comparison and gross and just whatever. And other people, like myself, see that comparison as quite fair, and deliberate on the author's part.

It doesn't take much reading comprehension to see that Bakugo is desperately in need of a change, because he's at risk of becoming--well--bad.

But the thing is, he was never EVER at risk of becoming a villain. That was never going to be an issue. He was at risk of becoming a much worse person and embodying more and more of Endeavor's negative qualities. Bakugo wants to be number 1. He wants to be number 1 for the wrong reasons. This is not up for debate. Citing what I said above--he was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to win matches at school not for the sake of being a better hero, but for the sake of making him feel better about himself. It's an insecurity thing, and he needed to work on it. And he has. But before he progressed at all--he had to face narrative punishment over and over again.

Bakugo and Endeavor are similar on purpose and they're compared in-story for a reason. People can separate Endeavor from the rest of the narrative all they want but he's a character just like everyone else, and there are intentional parallels and foils in place for him. Similarities between the two:

They both want to be number 1--for the wrong reasons.

They want to go about it the wrong way. Endeavor using his children to live vicariously through, Bakugo trying to get rid of Midoriya by bullying him into not applying to UA because he feels threatened by him. Bakugo continuing to go after Midoriya for his own personal reasons, when it doesn't benefit his development as a hero.

They physically and emotionally hurt others for their ambitions. And look, I'm not putting bullying on the level of abuse by any means. But they both hurt others for their own selfish reasons. They do, and that's a similarity between the two.

They want to feel better about themselves and so they don't want their egos hurt. As it was pointed out to me today by the genius @redphlox, while we were floating in a river in Somewhere, Texas--they were both granted top positions in a way that hurt their egos. Bakugo at the sports festival, Endeavor with the hero billboard charts.

Where there are similarities, there are also differences. Bakugo learned from his punishments. He gradually changed and made progress and improved as a person. Kind of. He's still an asshole but as stated above he had a huge turning point in the war arc when he went all sacrificial on us*. I'm hoping that we'll see him start viewing the villains differently now that he's back in the picture and it's bound to be a topic of discussion with Midoriya. I don't know what Bakugo's end game is but I think we're gonna see him grow more empathic as time goes on.

*Another prediction planted in my head by @/redphlox is that Bakugo getting skewered to save Midoriya might mirror the same way Endeavor sacrifices himself to save his son. Again, I don't think he'll die but I think we'll get a "GASP WILL HE DIE??" moment.

Sooooo yeah I'm pretty cool with Bakugo's character arc so far. It all depends on how it plays out from here. I think we'll see a lot of him and Midoriya working together. I think he'll help save Shigaraki's body, while Midoriya saves his heart and soul. I think it'll be a team effort between the two to get the job done. And I think he'll be a great member of the main group in the final battle. I'm excited to see how he's used in the story from here on out.

OKAY ONAY WHERE DO I BEGIN?!? Okay so I also have a grand librarian in my script like your Helios!! I call him Alder (Al-dear if you’re curious on how I pronounce it) except he is like a plant like being that has to wear this chocker to keep his humanoid shape and he lives in a invisible library above the seas, just watching and recording Teyvat’s history and has a copy of everything that’s ever been written (yes, includes fanfics) and he has became a recluse due to reasons in the past. No one knows where the library is and many believe it doesn’t exist, but it does! It just likes to move to different places

The biggest thing I can’t wait to experience is that in my DR I know Rhinedottir before I was murdered (there’s a LOT to unpack with that) and that she went by a different name back then when I knew her. In my DR she despises the archons with everything she got because they destroyed her home country that she helped build, desecrated her dead friends (me, the god of Teyvat) name by spewing nonsense scripture, and she sees them as nothing but cheap imitations of a real god

There’s so much lore in my script man, I have like 15 pages on google doc dedicated to my lore 😅 it’s so convoluted and complex that it confuses me 😅😅 but hey, I like it 😋

Sincerely, King truck-kun

Ps, PLEASE RAMBLE ABOUT YOUR DR, I love hearing about other people’s scripts and what they are hoping to accomplish!!

oki i'm finally answering this it took so long bc i didn't have the spoons to give you the response you deserve

i fcuking love all that your mind is too powerful save some for the rest of us (i say like i haven't created thousands of years of lore for fanfics before lmaooo)

honestly that's so much tho i'm impressed

as for my dr i need to make a new script (i've just kinda been winging it lately which has been causing conflicting affirmations bc i just say whatever comes to mind rippp)

uh but i'll ramble about my original dr and current ideas below the cut!!

ok so my original dr was in my hero academia bc i've seen a lot of content from it (i kin deku too hard to watch the show bc ~trauma~) and i liked the idea. but i kinda made it too much like a self indulgent story and not somewhere i'd actually like to be so good thing i didn't shift there in the end dodged a fucking bullet (oh? you created a dr where you experience heavy trauma? do you feel like your current trauma isn't enough to justify being cared for and so you want to break down in front of your comfort characters in a way that you can finally receive the love and care you want/need, but don't feel you deserve, in a way that you can stomach accepting it?)

i really loved working on my quirk tho! it's called interface and i'd gotten it bc my quirk factor was damaged and so i got misidentified as quirkless until i'd been taken for tests to try and make the ultimate quirk which i survived bc my broken factor basically acted like a vessel for the new ones, creating a semi-sentient quirk that can collect the genetic data responsible for quirks from others and recreate their quirks for my own. i can also fuse, upgrade, and mutate them from that point. i really love evolving power replication my beloved

most of the dr was about hanging out in japan and making friends tho, sometimes interrupted by my hero-in-training and vigilante lives. honestly real fun and i might write a story about it someday

as for the dr i'm gonna script

idk if i want it set in any fandom or just plain our world without or post covid (in case i slip up and mention it) but i'm thinking about being a rich streamer and cosplayer on parent's money, living or at least regularly visiting japan, or england bc nostalgia. gonna fucking c6 and r5 every character and weapon in genshin so help me god.

idk if i wanna add in modern sagau elements but i might? kinda leaning more away from it as time passes tho especially since i've been having trouble getting the energy to play. or obey me (i just started playing a few days ago and i'm HOOKED, seven timing the literal avatars of the seven deadly sins lmaooo mc is a mega chad and i want that energy) but y'know that's just a new obsession that might fizzle out too soon for me to really want it

gonna have two dogs, milky the samoyed & yuki the akita inu and they shall be my babies. maybe a ragdoll cat or maine coon? both. both is good.

i'm struggling on people in my life, but thinking about basing my father on the one in father i don't want this marriage bc the VIBES

might do modeling on the side too bc i'm beautiful and people deserve to see my beauty uwu especially since i'm leaning more toward vtuber

the most unrealistic part: a garden for the dogs somewhere in tokyo (shibuya or akihabara i think)

but i also like the idea of magic or powers being a thing but like they might disrupt life y'know? i've been playing with the idea of a marvel dr where they're like 'we want you' and i'm like 'i just wanna play video games damn' bc that sounds like a fun interaction

gonna have major main character vibes i don't even care, i'm past the point of being embarrassed about being self indulgent, cringe culture is dead

the hardest part is deciding on the people i know bc it's gonna help connect but i've literally never had a healthy irl friendship in my life and i have no basis for it jfksldjgksldhgdsklg help

fjksdlg uhhh that's all i can think about rn <3

Before I start, this is in no offence to anyone else’s opinion. You are all valid and probably make more sense than me. This is a bit of a rant and then a short character study.

Warning: This got too long.

I tend to come online for manga updates and ended up reading through opinion posts because I am a curious cat. Most of the time I come across really well-thought out posts, really valid points. But then MHA is also a soap opera/family drama where the main character is not supposed to have any progress in his story unless its to bolster or move along the other favs . But then they shouldn’t be bolstering his story either because why is a story about Deku’s journey all about Deku?

But then there are people who are happy Deku is finally edgy and they want him to wipe the floor with his classmates who love him and are willing to fight him if only to get through to him. So there are both extremes and honestly there is validity in all these thoughts because despite the writer’s intentions, a reader brings the story to life.

I personally hate making my own predictions because most of the time I feel it ruins the experience of reading a work for me. I go in with different expectations and when the story goes a different way I don’t enjoy it as much but I feel its more my fault.

So I do understand and respect the difference of opinion because there is no fandom without discourse.

In my opinion though, this Deku solo arc was a long time coming and I think Horikoshi has handled it really weird. I’m still trying to understand what he wants us to think about.

A story about heroes and putting your life on the line for someone else is controversial, but, I thought it was a given. Recklessness had been part of Deku’s character but an overly-cautious character would do nothing. Deku’s lack of self-preservation wasn’t unnatural for a hero, he rushed in to save Bakugo from the slime-villain when Pros stood by putting himself at risk but it spurred AM to act. Katsuki experienced it as well during the war arc, when his body moved to save Deku.

Going to Kamino to save Bakugo was suicidal, reckless and potentially flawed but story-wise it made sense. How is hero-work anything than risky? Kirishima and Todoroki initiated it.

Disclaimer: Deku, Bakugo, Uraraka, Momo, Toga and Shigaraki are characters that are very dear to me because they have had me extremely invested since the beginning of the story. This is my personal opinion, flaws, rant... basically me working through my feelings about this manga I had been obsessed with recently.

1) There is an opinion where Bakugo had a right to be upset/angry/bully Deku because he wanted to be a hero but did nothing for it. Firstly, I don’t understand the need to justify his behaviour when he himself has expressed regret on it. People want others to move on from the “go jump off the roof comment” but won’t stop talking about how everything about Bully Bakugo was justified. Deku was weaker, but he had the same dreams, dreams that were the basis of their friendship earlier on. Regardless of how Deku wanted to achieve them, Bakugo had no right to keep trying to stop him from doing so. No, 5, 10, 14 year old Bakugo did not do so because he had the brilliant foresight that Deku would be self-sacrificial and it was for his sake, he was an angry kid and Deku was a timid, wannabe that confused him, intimidated him even. Taking out his anger was a way of working through those feelings. He was in Deku’s words “a punching bag”. In a world where the powerful reign, Bakugo couldn’t understand how a quirk less, weak little boy could think he could stand shoulder to shoulder with someone as gifted as Bakugo. Yeah, society is very much to blame. The change and maturity Bakugo goes through where he is humbled by a cast of amazing hero students who are just as gifted yet with inspiring personalities and then traumatic consequences of being kidnapped, watching his hero use the last of his powers to hold back a great evil, having that fight with Deku where he bared himself open, failing the licensing exam, training with todoroki, the internship... the war has changed him in a way that has brought out his full potential as a hero and a person. There is a lot to admire about him yet I see so many people fixate on headcanons that glorify his every action/word instead of praising the amazing person he has become/how well written his growth has been.

2) “Deku wanted to be a hero and he did nothing for it”. “He could have been a quirkless hero like Batman.” Listen, the story is about AFO vs OFA first and foremost. Hori has done a good job of worldbuilding and adding a cast of interesting characters that its easy to forget what the main plot point of the story is. But it really is about a weak/timid boy who was born with a sort of handicap who dared to dream to be someone strong enough to have others rely on him instead. A lot of the times people want to become something they feel they needed, someone who gave people hope just by existing. Its natural for someone who is ‘considered useless’ to want to be the most useful person ever. His mother didn’t believe he could do it, Bakugo told him repeatedly he shouldn’t even try, everyone else made fun of him, and his hero gave him a wake-up call, no... you can’t be a hero without a quirk. Deku studied heroes and quirks all his life, hoping he’d find something that could work for his advantage. Not every hero relies on physical strength, their bodies are adapted to the nature of their quirks. Deku’s analysis, quick-thinking and impulsive nature is what helped him progress even after getting the quirk because he didn’t gain control until really late. People act like he was handed power, seem to forget he has just learned to use it without consequences. His studies of quirks also made him the best candidate to get new quirks, quirks that he has learned to utilise as tools quickly and efficiently. He was doing what he thought was going to help him become a hero without guidance, without backing and constant discouragements. Its admirable and relatable. If you don’t relate to him that’s fine, your life was different.

Batman was loaded. Deku is not an inventor. The Editors shot that idea down because it would not have survived in a genre where power fantasies are the main hooks. Aizawa, sure he’s training Shinso because he sees his potential now but he would have either expelled Deku/moved him to General studies on that first day for scoring the least in that test. He changed his mind not because of Deku’s quirk but because of Deku’s ingenuity.

When Deku did find his guidance, he tried to do years of work/training in a short period of time. He acknowledges how far behind he is, that the rest are leagues above him and all he wants is to be able to stand side by side with those incredible people and he would go to all lengths to do so. DEKU has never said he wants to be the number one hero. He always says he wants to be one so reliable he saves people with a smile and later on, he wants to be a hero that can save without having other people worry about him. Bakugo works hard, he’s not just exceptional he works hard for it, all of 1A do but saying Deku does nothing when he is constantly shown, studying, training his body, understanding his shortcomings and working on it is just petty. You don’t like him because of his saviour complex, newsflash, that is a hero thing. Hero course is about that, Deku’s is just highlighted because of how often he gets hurt. How can you be a Todoroki stan and hate Deku (although to be fair its your right, I’m just making a point), the kid saw Shouto and decided that it was more important for Shouto to stop hurting and gave him a hell of a fight. I still remember Shouto’s smile, it gave me goose bumps.

Deku’s lack of self-preservation is a part of his programming so much that he hasn’t noticed it yet. Deku broke his bones, but he didn’t realise the permanent damage. When Deku got injured with Muscular, he was never intending to fight him alone. He wanted backup, his phone was broken and he wanted to get Kouta out and tried but Muscular gave him no opening. He was driven into a corner and fought his way out. Like Aizawa said, “He got that injured because he has no intention of dying.” Before rushing to find Bakugo, he informed his superior first, knowing she can spread the message.

The fight with Stain, he messaged his location to all his classmates, didn’t intend to fight Stain alone, just defend Iida long enough for help to come along. Fight with overhaul, he just wanted to get Eri away and when he understood Eri’s power, he gave her the opportunity to fight back against her oppressor by teaming up with him, keeping her secure with the cape made out of Lemillion’s hair. During the whole fight he was present-minded enough to take the fight away from civilians and managed to prevent damage and casualties. During Natsuo’s rescue he played support.

During the war arc, he realised with despair that Shigaraki was coming in all his destructive glory for him and tried to stop him before but he didn’t object to Bakugo joining him. In the movie Heroes Rising (the initially planned ending) he willingly gave OFA to Bakugo, because he trusts him with his life, and was willing to be quirkless again if that’s what it took to keep the kids safe, and himself and Bakugo alive. Its mostly been good decisions on his part.

Its the war arc that’s been his downfall. Watching his childhood friend/rival almost die, his best friend, his mentors almost die while he could barely hold Shigaraki back set off a fight or flight response in him. The seriousness of how Shigaraki came for him and left such death and destruction in his wake because he was not strong enough and AFO is a monster and the sight of Shigaraki and the reality of his situation pushed him down the current path. His solo arc started well because constantly training in the field has helped him master his quirk, and he had the backup of the vestiges who trained and guided him in learning to use it as a toolset instead of a one-punch solution. Then coming face to face with the flaws of hero society and the power, manipulative nature and destructive intentions of AFO has prepared him emotionally. He is not acting like AM, he hasn’t in a while. He is acting like NANA and i don’t blame him because she’s in his head. No adult stopped him from doing this, instead using him as bait to lure out the league.

When they started realising he’s spiralling out of control, that’s when they realised they messed up.

He’s running on adrenaline/fumes alone and I think he’s actually terrified.

“AFO is OFA’s responsibility” “Tell the world I am here” “You’re not as strong as me yet,” “You are not a worthy successor”

Deku isn’t self-centered and but I agree with the screw loose comment (its years of “you are useless, not good enough, not worthy and I bet a dozen or so concussions, bloodloss, dehydration lol). I know Bakugo means well and that’s how he talks. At the moment, he’s probably the only one whose sole goal is Deku’s survival. Deku’s like a wild animal, terrified, lost and as always backed into a corner. AFO has him where he wants him and I am curious to see how class 1 A are going to get through to him. I don’t want them to fight, all those fanarts of Bakugo reaching his hand out to Deku and then maybe punching him in the face would have been a lot better then the mocking (the slow clap was a little triggering for me) but again maybe it just bothers me and Deku needs it. I’ll just have to wait and see. Deku and his class together would be an unstopabble force and I am waiting for that to finally happen.

P.S. Class 1 A looks so mature, everyone going crazy about Bakugo and his tie and I’m here like, look at baby Kirishima and his roots <3

I’m sorry if I gave anyone a headache lol.

This is my first deku x reader story, i hope it doesn't suck.

*summary: you just wanted to protect him, to keep him safe, even if it means locking him up forever*

**WARNING THIS STORY CONTAINS STRONG LANGUAGE AND DISTURBING SCENARIOS FOR DEKU...** ***YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED***

*this story takes place when Midoriya was in middle school, so BEFORE he got one for all*

Word count: 4k

-----

Yandere reader x deku My little Izu.

You hum as you walk out of the convenience store bag full of goodies in hand, you had just bought a few things to prepare dinner.

The chilly night air made you shiver, making you pull your hoddie over your head and put your free hand in its pocket, smiling you looked up at the full moon its light shining on your face making it almost look like it was glowing.

Your glance shifts down to see a couple sitting on a bench laughing, they looked so peaceful as they nuzzle up near each other to keep warm, they held hands as the female rested her head on the male's shoulder, he kissed her head making her hum in delight.

You were so focused on the couple that you didn't notice that you have stopped in your tracks, you were just there staring at them, how happy they were, how the cuddled and didn't care who saw.

Your memorized state was cut off when a voice snapped you back down to earth.

"Are you alright?"

Your eyes grew wide when you realized where the voice was coming from, the girl.

"Huh? Uhh... yeah I'm okay it's just that my mind wanders sometimes" you laugh scratching the back of your neck.

"Well, be careful where you let your mind wander, people might think that you're crazy" she scoffed, your nervous laughter stopped as soon as those words came out of her mouth, *cr-crazy* you hated be called that.

Your gaze that was once focused on both body's sitting, now shifts just to the female, who just laughed at the remark she just made... *Kill her. Kill her...* how you wanted to lunge at her and wipe that nasty smile off that face.

You shake your head, snapping you out of those thoughts and just gave them a devilish grin "Well, you ma'am, should be careful of who you call crazy".

They look at you confused and a bit scared as you gave them a wink and walked off.

You had better things to do than pick fights, after all you had your precious boyfriend at home to take care of.

Just thinking about him made your face burn, his messy green hair, his cute freckled face, those soft lips that you dreamed of kissing, but the feature you loved most about him were his eyes, big round and as green as emeralds.

You loved the way he looked into your E/C ones the way they shined, even if the room you kept him in was nearly pitch black. You had to keep him somewhere no one will ever find him, a place where he was safe from harm, a new place for him to call home.

You knew he was in constant danger, he had no way of defending him self, he had no speed, no strength, no ability to do anything, he was quirkless.

He was teased, pushed around, beat up on several occasions, but luckily you had a healing quirk which helped him alot, you were the only one who didn't make fun of him because of his problems, you loved him to much to see him being treated like that.

You two knew each other since you where kids, you had to confess you always had a little crush on him.

So that's why you had to hide him, to protect him from all the dangers of the world, villains, heros, people... and him... Bakugo... you HATED that blonde basterd, he was the epicenter of all of his pain, calling him quirkless... deku... you hated that word almost as much as crazy.

But your breaking point was when he told him to and you quote 'take a swan dive off the roof', those words sit in your stomach like something bad you ate.

Sighing you look up at an allyway and making sure no one was looking you bolt inside it, you run to the end where there is a small iron red door, you grab a key and unlock it.

Inside there was a small room, it was old and dusty and the wallpaper was peeling off, the smell of mold was strong, but you've gotten used to it.

You place your bag down on a table, which looked like it was about to collapse at any moment, unzip your hoddie and set it down on a old arm chair.

You take the contents of the bag and place them on the table, you were planning to make your boyfriend's favorite food for dinner.

You loved cooking for him, it made you so happy to see him smiling, he had the cutest smile in the world.

You where about to remove the two soda cans before a muffled cry got your attention. You smiled.

"Izuku, honey are you awake" you walk towards a hallway door. You lean to it and rest your ear on it.

You continue to hear the sounds of muffled sobs, you smile as you open the door...

There he was your precious boyfriend Izuku, tied to a wooden chair, his mouth gagged.

His eyes widened as soon as you walked in the room, he squirmed in his chair trying to release the bindings, no use they were to tight.

"No Izu... don't do that please you're gonna give yourself rope burn"

You walk over to the green haired boy, your shadow casting over him, you bend over so you can look in his beautiful round orbs.

"Okay... I'm going to remove you gag... don't scream, okay...".

Izuku looks at you with terrified eyes as your hands touched his cheeks making him shiver, "Alright I'm taking it off now".

You begin to remove the fabric that was keeping his mouth closed, "Don't scream" you whispered in his ear. You finish removing the gag from your boyfriend's mouth his breathing was heavy.

"Y-Y/N, what's going on? Why are you doing this, what did I ever do to you" he said voice trembling.

You smiled and gently ran your fingertips through his hair, "It's not my fault you're so seductive".

You kiss his forehead, making him whimper in discomfort.

"Is this some sort of prank" he fake laughed, "because if it is, its not funny".

"Prank? No.... why would I ever prank you Izu...? I'm nothing like everyone else"

"Please I won't tell anyone, just let me go".

You tilt your head in confusion, "why would you wanna go? You know VERY well that you're safe here"...

"But I was never in danger".

You take in a deep breath, he was joking right?

"Oh really? What about that basterd Bakugo, huh? He always kept trying to hurt you, just because you're quirkless"

Izuku looked up at you his eyes wide, you were right, Kacchan always did make him like he was worthless.

"That's why here with me, you're safe from him and anyone else who will want to hurt you" you gave him a wide smile that only fuled his fear of you.

"But why am I tied to a chair? The ropes are hurting my wrists".

"Oh well I can't have you leaving, can I"?

"Can you at least loosen them a little? It feels like their cutting into my skin, it really hurts"

You look at Midoriya who was in the verge of tears, honestly you did feel bad for tying the ropes so tight, but any chance for him to escape is BIG trouble so... "No I'm sorry Izuku, I can't right now".

Izuku looked up to you eyes full of tears...*no don't cry baby*... his body suddenly exploded into loud sobs...

"Izu... please no.... don't cry...." you leaned forward and hugged him, you gently grab his head and buried it into the crook of your neck.

"Shhh, it's okay, it's only for a few more hours"

This didn't make his sobbing stop, you hated when he cried your precious Izuku didn't deserve this.

You sigh and pull away and gave him a soft smile...*which to him was terrifying*... "Okay I will untie the ones around your wrist, but not around your waist". His as widened and he gave a small gasp, GOD HE'S SO CUTE.

you walk around the chair so you were behind him and begin to untie the ropes.

As soon as they were lose he pulled his hands in front of him holding them close to his chest.

You give him a hug from behind and kiss him on the head then his ear, cheek and then... neck...

Izuku could feel your hot breath on his neck he gasped as your lips touched him making you smile.

"Like what you're feeling?"

Izuku turns his head to look at you, "What are you talking about? That felt disgusting".

Your smile quickly turns into a frown and you walk to the front of his chair his eyes never leaving you*which you quite enjoyed*.

"Oh you'll soon learn to love it.... and me".

Izuku eyes widened *love* you two were only friends, well at least he thought you were his friend.

"L-love"?

You bend so you can be face to face with him again, "of course sweetie, I love you."

You chuckle as you give him a kiss on the forehead, you look in to his eyes and smile, putting one hand on his cheeks, your thumb on one and index and middle on the other forcing him to pucker his lips.

Cold sweat drips down from Izuku's forehead, *you're not thinking about kissing him are you?* His worse fears came to life when your rough lips collided with his soft ones.

A soft whimper could be heard escape his lips as you try to get deeper into the kiss, but to you... it was a moan of pleasure.

"Come on Izu baby, let me in".

Izuku bit his lips so you couldn't find a way into his mouth, but your other hand, the one that wasn't on his cheeks, grabbed one of his wrists which was still bruised due to the rope burn.

"Gah!-mhhm".

Mint you could taste mint, or maybe it was cinnamon, or both, but you know it felt amazing, your tongue move through his mouth, soft moans escaping your lips.

Your eyes were closed because you didn't see the flow of tears streaming down Izuku's face, the look of disgust as he felt you move in is mouth.

*Y/N please stop* he couldn't think of anything else, he did the first thing that came in his mind... he bit you.

You gasp as you pull away your fingertips touching you lips, you look to make sure it wasn't bleeding, no it wasn't... *little basterd all I want to do is show him a good time and this is this he thanks I get*.

You gaze returns to Izuku who is now spitting on the floor also using the sleeve of his school uniform to hold back any bile that might also escape.

"WHAT THE FUCK IZUKU!!!"

The small boy jumps at the sudden outburst, but steadied his gaze onto you... "You're disgusting" he said whipping his mouth with his sleeve one more time.

Your eyes widened, "Huh?"

"Horrible" "Psychopath"

*why was he saying these things?*

"A whore, bitch, maniac, insane"

*Izu stop... I'm gonna cry*

"Monster, pervert, crazy-"

*slap* suddenly your tears stop and so do Izuku's hurtful words, you weren't thinking your hand moved impulsively, you had slapped him across the face.

"Don't you EVER call me *crazy* again".

Izuku head was facing the wall due to the force of the impact his hand holding his cheek.

"Do you hear me Midoriya?"

You called him by his family name, does that mean you're mad?

"I SAID DO YOU HEAR ME?!"

you forcefully grab a hand full of his hair and yank his head to look at your direction, "y-ye-yes".

"Don't you EVER call me by any of those words, or any offensive word again"

"Okay Y-Y/N"

"And if you EVER call me crazy one more time, THERE ARE GONNA BE CONSEQUENCES OKAY?"

"O-kay".

You release his head and he was quick to pull his hands up and hold them were you pulled.

*No he doesn't deserve that*

"Give me your hands"

The middle schooler looked up to you in confusion "h-huh"?

"You lost your rights" you grab his wrists and being to re-tie them back on the chair, tightly....

"Y/N please no that hurts, I'm sorry, please don't do-"

"SHUT UP YOU LOST YOUR RIGHTS".

Izuku struggled in your grasp, "Stop moving Midoriya, you'll only make it worse".

You finish tying the ropes back on his wrists, "let this be a lesson to so me and little more respect".

Izuku looked at you tears streaming down his face once again, but his gaze was stern "Respect? What the hell Y/N?! You literally KIDNAP me, brought me to an unknown location, tie me up, tell me that you love me, even though we're JUST FRIENDS, well at least I thought we were, FORCE me to kiss you and now... you want me to respect you?"

You didn't say a word, you just stared at your boyfriend, his breathing was heavy almost sounded like he was on the brink of hyperventilating.

Why was he making you sound like the bad guy?

You're the good guy, you rescued him from all of his problems, took him somewhere safe where you can keep a good eye on him, where you can take care of him, comfort him, be together forever.

SO WHY IS HE SO NAIVE?!

You sigh, he'll learn one day, you proceed to walk to towards the chair, the boy thrashing in it with every step closer you took.

"Shut up" you forcefully pull the gag back over his mouth, a muffled cry coming from his covered lips.

You lean to give him a kiss on the forehead but he snapped his head back making you miss, you look down at your feet letting a sigh escaped from your noes.

"Whatever, you will learn to love me, even if I have to force you" you straightened your back ignoring the look of terror on Izuku's face.

You turn and start walking towards the door, "I'll be back with dinner in about an hour".

You turn to look at Izuku one more time and give him a wicked smile, "Don't go anywhere my little broccoli", he felt his stomach turn at this nickname, close the door behind you leaving the greennet alone in the room.

The room was silent, the only sound that was heard was the sound of his heavy breathing.

He violently started to thrash in the ropes again, no use they were to tight.

Izuku closed his eyes, *I need to stay calm*, he knew if he panicked he'd only make the situation worse... well as if that's even possible though.

---------------------

You put the contents of the bag on the sink and start preparing katsdoun, his favorite.

As you do your mind flashes back to how you lured him here....

**flashback**

"Come on Izu... don't listen to them".

Izuku sighs looking down at the pavement scraping it with the tip of his shoes, "Maybe Kacchan's right... I'll never be a hero".

Your eyes widened when he said this, oh how you hated when he doubted himself, "Of course you can, just because you don't have a quirk doesn't mean you can't be a hero" you smile.

Izuku sighed "Yes it does... I-I should do what he said and take a-"

"NO" Izuku snapped his head up at your sudden outburst "Y/N...".

"Oh man, sorry I didn't mean to yell. But don't you dare finish that sentence" you stomp your foot.

"But i-"

"No, I won't hear doubtful Izu... I want to hear cheerful Izu... The one who always has a smile on his face".

Izuku sighed and gave you a small smile, "Ah there he his" you put an arm around his shoulder.

*I'm so lucky to have Y/N as a friend*.

"Hey Y/N".

You hummed.

"Mind telling me more about your quirk?"

You giggled and turn your head to the freckled face boy, "you know my quirk Izu... It's healing".

"Yeah I know that... but how does it work? Do you need to come in contact with the injured person or can you heal them from a distance... and is there a limit to it like, what happens when you use it to much? Does it"-

"Whoa, whoa slow down there tiger".

Izuku blinked then his eyes widened and he let out a small gasp "Oh sorry I was rambling again was I?"

You laugh, *he's so cute*, "It's okay Izuku, I don't mind your ramblings, it's one of my favorite things about you, I think it's cute".

Izuku's face turned bright red at your words, then that's when you realized what you said...making you blush as well.

"Well I Uh I mean... WANT SOME SODA" you quickly change the subject.

Before the boy could answer, you were already a vending machine buying two (favorite flavor) sodas, you sighing you look over to Izuku, he was facing the other way kicking a rock into the street, you quickly place a small pill in the can in you left hand, *remember left one, you don't want to accidentally drug yourself*.

You put on a smile and walk back to Izuku, "Hey buddy, here you go, if hope you don't mind I've already opened it".

"It's alright" he looked up at you noticing your weird and creepy smile, *strange...*.

Izuku took a large chug from the soda, letting out a small sigh and smiling, making you giggle, "What's so funny?" He asked.

"Oh nothing, it's just that... your cute even when your drinking soda" you say.

Izuku blushed again, you covered your mouth, *FUCK STOP SAYING EMBARRASSING THINGS*.

You two continued to walk and talk until you finish your sodas throwing them in a near by recycling bin.

*Any time now Izu...*.

"So.... about your quirk" Izuku spoke braking the silence.

You look over to Izuku and smile "Okay ask me what you want to know, just go slower this time"

"Do you need to come in contact with the injured person or can you heal them from a distance?"

"No, I need to come in contact with them".

"What kind of injuries can you heal"?

"Right now only simple ones, but one day I hope to heal all types of injuries".

"Don't worry y/n, you're amazing, one day I know you will be an amazing hero" Izuku smiled.

"Thanks Izu, you too".

As he was turning left you go right, "Wait Izuku I want to show you something" you say.

"Huh, what?"

"It's really cool, come on" you reach out your hand.

"I don't know Y/N, it's getting pretty late and-".

"Please it's close by and it won't take very long"

Izuku blinked, but then noticed the way you were nearly jumping out of your skin from excitement, which he thought was adorable.

"Uhm, okay if it won't take very long".

"It won't come on" you grab his wrist and pull him with you.

*Man Y/N sure has alot of energy* Izuku thought.

You two walk a few blocks past a few streets, stores and restaurants, until you were just a few meters from where you want to go.

Izuku stopped in his tracks his breathing became heavy, "What's wrong Izu.."?

"I-my head... I feel dizzy..." he wobbled a bit before falling forward, but luckily you caught him, "WHOA".

"Y/N I don't feel very good".

"I know... wow I didn't expect the drug to kick in so quickly"

Izuku shot his head up to look at you, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't worry about it now, just focus on sleeping" you drag him to the allyway and start going through your backpack an get some rope and begin to tie his wrists and ankles.

At this point he was almost completely unconscious but still able to speak, "Y/N pl-please stop".

You didn't respond just pulled out a piece of cloth and gagged him, he struggled a bit but you held him down.

"Now let's go" you pick him up and throw him over your shoulder "Wow Izuku you're heavier than you look"

You can hear quite muffled sobs coming from Midoriya, "Don't worry you're in safe hands now".

------------ **end of flashback**

Before you noticed you have finished dinner, you let out a sigh, maybe you were to harsh on him... this is a whole new situation for him.

You grabbed the plate of Katsodon and walk to the room, "Izu..."

A loud gasp is heard when you walk in, Izuku's eyes looked at you streaming with tears his sobs muffled by the gag.

"Hey stop crying, I'm not mad at you anymore".

You wipe his eye with your thumb, "so it's okay".

You hold out the plate of food in front of him, "look I made your favorite".

You remove the gag from his mouth and he instantly begins to..."HELP SOMEBODY PLEASE-" *slap*

"What did I tell you earlier about screaming, I was almost forgiving you Izu-"

"Y/N please this is nuts you can't keep me here".

"I told you I can and I WILL"

"I don't get it... Why?"

"Really? Do I have to run this by you again?"

"What kind of protection is this?"

You pinched the bridge of your noes, he's being naive again...

"Enough Izuku no more questions" you lower to his level again, "the only sound that I want to hear from you is the sound of you chewing" you hold out the chopsticks with a piece of pork on them.

"I-I'm not hu-hungry" he pulled his head away.

You giggle "Of course you are, you haven't ate since after school".

"Really pl-please, I'm not, I can't eat anything right now"

"But i worked really hard on this plate.... you're going to eat" you put the chopsticks closer to him.

He still refused to eat, this started to piss you off, you didn't spend hours on the Internet at home, practicing, trying to prepare his favorite meal just for him to refuse it now.... you groan, you didn't want to do this now... but you had no choice.

"Haha, okay... how about this, I go pay your mother a visit and tell her that little Izuku isn't eating his dinner..." you pout.

Izuku felt his blood go cold when you mentioned his mom, his eyes widened so much they nearly fell out of their sockets, "Stay away from my mom".

You gave him a smile "Okay, but you have to EAT".

He looks at the chopsticks sticks in your hand then back at you, "What is it?" You ask.

"Can I at least feed myself"

"OH no, after what you did, you're staying tied at that chair... consider it a.... punishment"

Izuku had to gulp down the bill that filled his throat, *punishment, she really is crazy*.

"Now Izu... open wide" you hold out the chopsticks.

Fresh tears formed in Izuku's eyes as he opened his mouth wide enough so you can feed him.

This is the best day of your life, you finally have Izuku here with you, your little Izu to keep forever, you made a vow a few months ago to protect him and now you finally can.

And to think this abandoned factory is only a mile from you house, you remember stumbling on it by accident, but knew it was a perfect place to keep him, no windows, only one door, you loved this place.

As Izuku to another bite of his food he looked at you with the big eyes full of what you thought was happy emotions... but deep down you knew what you were doing was wrong, illegal, maybe..you..should..NO, his place his here now.

The chopsticks clang on the porcelain bowl, he had finished his food, "Oh, all gone and you said you weren't hungry" you laugh.

"I want to go home" he said lowering his head.

"Oh Izu..." you take out a handkerchief from your pocket and wipe the side of his lips, "this is your home".

A small sob escaped his mouth, you lean forward again and kiss his nose and his cheek, "Don't worry you'll get used to it my love" you get closer to his ear.

"My little Izu..."

End or TBC... you chose

Aaaah duck, got hit with another AU like a spear in the head.

This is more of an half assed one. Sorry not sorry if it's not good enough lmao.

Ok so, Bkdk AU middle school + temporary memory loss Quirk + someone actually filmed it.

Ok so, I've seen lot's of fics where Katsuki is the one with the memory losses, so this time, it's Izuku.

They are in middle school. You know how their relationship is in this time. BUT Instead of Katsuki having his head up his ass, he's just pretending to be like this for Izuku to quit being a hero bcz he doesn't want the nerd to get hurt and bcz he's quirkless. So he did the only thing his Kid emotion stunned brain can think of and that's constantly reminding the nerd to just give up, in his Bakugou way.

He doesn't know what he's doing is kinda bullying. Izuku became jumpy and scared, not knowing Kacchan had good intentions (?) And stuff like that.

But one day, the nerd was so late, Katsuki begins to worry about what happened to him bcz, the nerd won't skip a day in his life even if he had a fever.

Izuku walked into class very late with the teacher. Ofc the teacher was all like "Midoriya got hit with a quirk that makes him forget about his memories temporary, he won't be able to remember anything when the quirk wears off but he still knows his facts and bla bla bla he's still going to attend class and bla bla bla treat him nicely."

And just then, Izuku flashed a bright genuine smile to everyone in the class and Katsuki froze because.

When was the last time did the nerd smile like that?

And like, Izuku then sits down in the empty seat in the back where he's not assigned to sit.

And ofc one of the fuckers mockingly told Izuku that he was in the wrong seat, but Izuku, not knowing he was being kicked bcz of his temporary memory loss, asked where he'd normally sat, the fucker was caught of guard bcz Izuku never talked back.

And then. Katsuki was the one who said "you sit behind me, nerd." And Izuku lights up like a fucking Christmas tree again and Fuck, Katsuki's heart can't take it.

Ofc when lunch came in, They were all going to the cafeteria, Katsuki was already surrounded by his usual lackeys, but then.

Izuku approach Katsuki as if he'd never feared him, asking him, with his fucking smile, if he could eat lunch with THE BAKUGOU KATSUKI. While looking at Katsuki with his big doe eyes fuck—

The lackeys behind Katsuki laughed and whispered about how, Deku could ever ask that when he had his memories. They were about to mock and make fun of Izuku when suddenly Katsuki just agrees.

"whatever nerd." Then walks off, then turns around again "oi, are you following or what?" And Izuku just beams bcz this, this feels kinda familiar, so he skipped up to Katsuki, besides him, and they both walked towards cafeteria as if they were best friends.

Extra 1 and 2 were shocked, confused, and slightly terrified (?).

And then this shit keeps happening for a week, both Katsuki and Izuku hanging out everywhere they go. In lunch, walking to another class, going home, you name it.

Everyone was weirded out by Izuku's sudden friendliness bcz of the memory loss but they understand that but they were slightly terrified by the soft (-est he could possibly get) Katsuki, as they get along.

Izuku, not knowing he calls Katsuki, 'Kacchan' so he settles for Katsuki bcz the way they acted, they seemed close and stuff. And Katsuki kept having this light blush on his face whenever Izuku calls that. But he sense a feeling of longing, bcz he knows this is temporary, once the quirk wears off, they'd have to go back to things as they were.

And that breaks Katsuki's heart.

so he makes the most of it as it lasts. They were walking home and suddenly Katsuki kissed Izuku, Izuku was shocked would be an understatement, but... It felt... Right? He hesitantly kissed back as well.

Katsuki didn't expect Izuku to kiss back, so when he pulled away, Izuku asked if they were dating before he lost his memories

Ofc it would totally be embarrassing to tell him that he wasn't bcz what kind of loser kisses their crushes with memory loss out of the blue?!?

So he said yes and Izuku laughed lightly, before holding Katsuki's hand, a blush settles on his cheeks, Katsuki felt his face warmed too.

Both silently continued to walk home, holding hands, feeling content.

And that was the last time they ever came physically close to each other.

The next week, Katsuki had already woken up early to go to school, now there are most of his classmates there in the classroom when suddenly Izuku entered.

Shoulders hunched, head low, trying to keep his form as small as possible, walking quickly to his seat, not saying good morning to Katsuki like he did for the last week.

Like old times.

And that's when Katsuki knew that the quirk had worn off. The teacher came inside and asked Izuku if he remembers anything.

He said he didn't.

And for some reason, that broke Katsuki's heart more.

No one talks about what happened that week bcz they were scared how Katsuki will react so they kept quiet. No one knows about the kids they both shared (or so they thought—)

And things went back to 'normal'. or as normal as they could be. Izuku was getting bullied less by Kacchan, more ignored that anything for the rest of the year.

Time skip to the future where they are now both in their 2nd year in UA, they are proper rivals and friends (?), They get along nicely now, with only a slight playful banter from time to time.

When they were both on shopping duty, they ran into some old classmates of theirs, Katsuki's lackeys, ofc Katsuki was at the other section of the grocery store while Izuku was at the opposite.

And he bumped into them, literally. Ofc there were some apologises and shit and whatnot and then they finally asked if he was ever told what happened during that time he was hit with an amnesia quirk, ofc Izuku said no.

But then one of them told Izuku that they had FILMED IT, supposedly as a joke and stuff, but Izuku was like 'i wanna know!' and they passed the video to Izuku and hurriedly left the grocery store.

When they get back, he went to his room early to watch those videos, and he was shocked by what he had witness.

Then, from the last clip. The cameras was behind a tree it seemed. They were filming middle school Izuku and Katsuki walking home, Izuku felt a bit mad bcz this seemed like a intimate moment for them to just film but watching it.

Then suddenly Katsuki kissed Izuku in the video.

Then the cameras wobbled and stop.

And so did Izuku's mind. His face was cherry red, he felt his heart beating really fast, he still stared at the black screen but he thought nothing of it, all he could ever thought was kacchan, kacchan his crush since forever—

had kissed him.

•°•

Hhhhhhng my braincells told me to stop now bcz they could not think of anything anymore, but I hope you enjoy! You can think of an ending if you wanna lol.

I love your little stories they’re the best 😄 thank you for sharing 💛

Oh heck yea AUs!! Ok ok how about Izuku and Shouto personality swap? After years of bullying izuku learns to mask his emotions and acts coldly to others so that he won’t get hurt. Meanwhile Shouto sees his fathers cold anger and the way he brushes ppl aside, thinks “I don’t want to be like him” and resolves to be as kind as possible, crafting a personality as warm as the sun, all as a means to spite his father

Midoriya Izuku wanted to be a hero, wanted to help others but years of abuse and misery had hardened his heart. Katsuki would never apologize to the nerd but it felt weird not seeing hims scribbling in his notebooks, not hearing his mutterings. He can’t even remember the last time he saw Deku smile. Izuku lived his days in passive anger and a resolve that he will be a hero to spite thos who’d hurt him. When his legs move without thinking, rushing in to save his tormentor and All Might offers him a quirk, he accepts without tears or smiles or anything. His heart was broken, tender, he couldn’t risk opening it again or he’d shatter completely.

Shouto watches his father on tv and at home, cruel and cowardly and a bully. He hurts his mom, his siblings, Shouto and, though his quirk is fire, his eyes are so so cold. Shouto hates that cold fire more than anything, he says to himself that it will never be him. He watches All Might in secret, watches his smiles, and copies it even when he’s afraid. He steps in between his parents when his father is in a bad mood. He helps out his classmates even though they fear him as the son of the Number Two. He dreams of a day he can bring peace to his home and to everyone around him, that’s the kind of hero he will be.

“My boy,” All Might said carefully, “are the other children er cruel to you?”

“You were quirkless, you should know,” Izuku said curtly. A few years ago he couldn’t have imagined talking to All Might in such a way. But as much as he wanted to open up, to talk and feel again, he just couldn’t. “It’s fine, everything will be fine once I have a quirk. Then I’ll make sure no one is hurt like that again.”

“That’s very noble of you, Young Midoriya,” All Might frowned. He set a large hand on Izuku’s head, letting it rest there. “But first I want you to be happy. It took me too long to learn that to save the world, first you must save yourself.”

“Right,” Izuku muttered, ducking under the hand and getting back to his training. He did his best to ignore the phantom feeling of All Might’s hand in his curls and told himself the warmth blooming in his chest would only hurt him in the end.

“Y-you saved me,” the girl with the ponytail said. “Thank you.”

“You looked like you needed help,” Shouto huffed, wiping the sweat from his brow. Yuuei really was incredible putting on such a risky test, even for recommended students. “Are you alright?”

“Yeah, I overexerted my quirk in the start of the exam, if you hadn’t come that robot would have crushed me for sure.” She smiled, “my name is Yaoyorozu Momo. I sincerely hope to be classmate someday but I’d love to be your friend now.”

“Todoroki Shouto,” he said shakily. “I’ve never really had a friend before but I’d like to start now.”

“You’re not going to expel me on the first day,” Izuku said aloofly to his teacher who was trying to be intimidating by using his quirk. “I scored too high in the entrance exam, have All Might’s support. Instead of handing out tepid threats why don’t you teach for moment and show me how to do it right.”

“Wow,” Kirishima grinned after class. “That was manly standing up to Sensei like that but way to call his bluff. I’m Eijirou, wanna spar after school.”

“No,” Izuku said, storming past. “I’m not here to make friends.”

“That Midoriya kid sure has a powerful quirk, it hurts him so badly whenever he uses it,” Uraraka whispered over lunch. “He’s kinda rude though, sits by himself, won’t talk to anyone. I bet all the power’s gone to his head.”

“Uraraka, that is not how we talk about classmates!” Iida lectured.

“He seems sad,” Momo said quietly.

“Yeah,” Shouto said, playing with his soba, thinking of the green haired boy with his dull eyes and face pulled perpetually into a frown. He recognized the look, he saw it in the mirror sometimes when he wasn’t paying attention. It was the look of someone who hurt so much they’d given up. “I’ll get through to him, somehow.” Maybe sharing his own traumatic story would make him open up.

“How can you forgive that man who hurt you?” Izuku screeched across the battlefield. Todoroki was throwing fire and ice at him, but not enough to end the fight. He was toying with Izuku and it burned like Kacchan’s palms on his skin. “Endeavor is a monster and you smile like nothing is wrong!”

“I won’t forgive him,” Todoroki shouted back, his normally cheery face half-crazed with determination. “But I refuse to let him win, I won’t become angry and bitter like him! I’m going to be happy and have friends and be the number one hero with a smile!”

“That’s not-” Izuku choked, fighting down the tears he hasn’t shed in years. “That’s not how it works, you can’t just live with that pain and not expect it to come back.”

“We care for you!” Todoroki raged, “Aizawa-sensei almost died for you, our class wants so badly to get to know you, All Might looks like his smile is going to break his face whenever he sees you. It’s your heart but we’ll take care of it for you!”

Izuku broke, the rage and pain and feel and love he’d been hoarding for years exploding out of him. It fueled One For All unleashing an attack that had both him and Todoroki skidding to the sides. Todoroki stopped himself with an ice wall but Izuku landed far out of bounds. His bones were broken and his shot at the gold medal was gone but his heart felt open for the first time in forever. He laid in the dirt and cried until the medical bots took him away.

Shouto went to visit Midoriya at the end of the medal ceremony. He felt stupid, losing to Bakugou but he supposed he still had his own demons to conquer. Shouto needed to apologize to his classmate for his words, as much as he believed him, it wasn’t his place to say so. He opened the door to the infirmary and Midoriya turned to him.

“I watched your match, you almost had him. Next time, we’ll bring him down a peg,” he smiled then and it was like the sun was shining in an impossible place. Shouto grinned right back and he knew he would defend that smile until the end of time.

a love story does not begin here (2753 words)

Written for the TodoBakuDeku Winter Exchange for @normalcryptid

Summary: What’s a hero to do when a villain claims their soulmate? Soulmarks are shitty indicators if they can get this messed up, Bakugou is convinced.

aka, the AU where Bakugou’s a pro hero, Midoriya’s a journalist, and Todoroki is the villain. And they were all soulmates, but they haven’t worked that one out just yet.

Rating: T

Warnings: bakugou swearing like the sailor he wishes he was

This day could not have gotten any worse, Katsuki fumed.

First, there’s this sudden appearance of a superpowered villain out of freaking nowhere, honestly what the fuck, in the lunch hour to boot?

Breakfast was hours ago and Bakugou Katsuki did not appreciate being made to miss meals anytime. He liked things on schedule for a reason.

Second, the villain was gushing out volumes of ice like it was nothing. Everywhere’s fucking winter now, and the cold was not good for business. The cold wasn’t great for him, period. Cold meant he had to work harder to get up a sweat and explode this villain’s face off. Which was just pissing him off.

Great, he’s being blocked off by this villain’s walls while the rest make a getaway with whatever it is they robbed the CBD for.

Explosions burst over his skin, angry and raring to go. Where the fuck was Kirishima when he needed him?! The man would have done well as a battering ram in this situation!

Honest to god, even the hardhead might have had trouble with this, he thought as he vaunted to a higher point. The ice walls this villain threw up vary in height and thickness, and could span entire streets. All in all, villain’s a walking ice tsunami.

Katsuki did not like him.

Third—

the nerd just showed up.

”NO!” he roared, his fury spiking up even more. God, the fucking nerd was going to be the death of him. He alone accounted for Katsuki’s frequent spikes in blood pressure. “STAY BACK, OR I SWEAR-!”

“But Kacchan!” The shitty nerd obstinately clambered onto the iced-over field, voice tiny down below. “I’ve got to document this!”

Oh for the love of god, Katsuki swore under his breath. Now the fucking villain’s noticed him too.

A damnable smirk actually crossed over the so-far unemotional face. “Oh? And you are?”

He actually freaking alighted in front of Deku. What the shit. He can’t exactly fire off a long-distance blast now, but long-distance had never worked out in his favour in the first place. This villain made it far too hard to get close to him, but he could close in now. He threw himself off the ice, explosions controlling his fall.

He couldn’t hear what they were saying and he couldn’t really make out Deku’s expression other than surprise.

By the time he got there the villain had swooped up Deku into his arms and jumped out of his way. “Oi!” He yelled, taken aback. “Wha-”

“Relax, I’m just sending him on his way.” The villain didn’t even look at him as he carried a shocked Deku away.

Katsuki had no choice but to follow, hobbling awkwardly, wincing with the weight he now had to put on numbed feet. Fucker nearly shot his feet right off when he’d been airborne trying to get an AP Shot on him from midair.

He deposited a spluttering Deku gently when they had walked a few blocks away. “Don’t come back now.” The villain turned on his heel, facing Katsuki. “Where were we?”

Katsuki spluttered, before he lunged at the villain. “You-! We’re ending this right now!” An explosion flared from his outreached palms, before and behind him.

It didn’t reach.

The villain got away, and it was the worst Katsuki had ever felt about himself for a long time. He let a villain get away. He lost the fight.

And that’s not even saying how much collateral damage was done when the villain sent out sheets of ice all over the place, basically turning one entire avenue into a tsunami frozen in action.

It had taken hours to clean. Endeavour had been on his ass about it, been even more nasty than usual. Something about the sight of all that ice must have set him off, because he glared at the crime scene like it had personally done him dirty.

“Pity that villain hadn’t been nice enough to clean up his own mess, huh,” Deku said sympathisingly, in that tone Katsuki wanted to tell him to stuff it back in his own throat.

“Nice? Nice my ass, that villain was nowhere near nice at all,” Katsuki grumbled under his breath. He had been left frozen to a wall, dangling upside-down.

“C’mon, don’t keep sulking after we’ve come out on such a nice day,” Deku pleaded. He had asked Katsuki to go out on the weekend, citing that he needed to unwind after the hectic mess that had been the week before. Ice had given him some level of frostbite. “It couldn’t be helped after all, the villain got back-up from three other ice and fire quirk users.” He gave that stupid smile of encouragement that Katsuki sure as hell didn’t need but he liked anyway.

“Police give you that info to write up?” He muttered into his drink. Like that was enough to mollify him. He, Bakugou Katsuki, pro hero, had still lost to villains. Again.

He shook away the flash memory of chains and leering faces.

Deku laughed sheepishly. “Mmm… you know me, went here, sourced a few others there, put together the whole incident from eye-witnesses-”

“One of them being you obviously.” Katsuki glared at his childhood friend, who had ended up becoming an investigative journalist, of all things. Still a job that sent him hurtling right into fights.

Deku sweated some more under his gaze, hands fluttering as he wound up some old excuse. “Kacchan… you know back then I promised-”

“But that doesn’t mean you go putting yourself in danger all the time,” he heaved a great sigh, slumping bonelessly against the table. His forehead bumped against the grainy wood as he kicked out at Deku’s ankle lightly. The babbling stopped. “Seriously, stop worrying me, shitty Deku.”

Shitty Deku running into danger headlong every single time, because when his quirk hadn’t shown up, and he’d finally accepted he couldn’t be a hero what with Katsuki’s constant beating into him and pushing him away, he’d just latched on to another idea instead. Less absurd but looking back he couldn’t have known how much this career would still cause him heart-attacks.

“Kacchan, the fact that one of us can be a hero already makes me super happy. So, I’m going to be right there every step of the way to document it, Kacchan! Your journey to be the greatest hero like All Might!”

Those words were still burned into his brain like it was just yesterday. A middle-school Deku yelling that at him, and he’d stopped breathing.

Back then he'd crowed. He didn't see the strained smile Deku was wearing to hide the tearing seams.

They'd learned that from All Might, hadn't they? Smile to hide if you're afraid or sad.

One of us. Only one of a pair of soulmates got to have a quirk and go on to pursue their dreams, how fair was that?

Back then, he hadn’t cared. Because Deku hadn’t manifested a quirk and wasn’t strong enough to stand by his side, of course he shouldn’t even think about being a hero.

Let alone be with him. This he didn’t outright say but had scoffed at the very idea of.

Deku had shown him back when they were little, right before the day his quirk manifested. It was a red and white mark exploding outward over his elbow, so of course it must have been him.

It could only have been him, they knew.

And he in turn never developed one. No colour or shape ever painted itself over his skin, and he never breathed a word to Deku about it. Not even a hint.

Deku had stopped asking after it long ago, especially when it became apparent that most soulmarks followed the quirk of the person they’re meant for.

What soulmark does a quirkless person inspire?

A hand on his shoulder. Deku was carefully breathing, considering what to say to fill in the blankness that had been between them for a very long time.

He knew he didn’t get to say such a thing when he’d pushed him away the entire time.

“I’m… happy you’re worried about me,” he sounded like he was suffocating, or that could be Katsuki’s head fuzzing over. “But it’s my life.”

The hand nudged at him. “Kacchan, look at me.” When Katsuki raised his head, he was smiling. “I’ll be okay. Plus,” a teasing lilt entered his tone, “if I follow you around all the time I’m bound to be safe, won’t I? You’re a good hero.” The hand firmed on his shoulder. Deku’s hand.

Katsuki huffed. Exhaled. Look at him, all in a mess because a villain had gotten the best of him. “Yeah.” He threw his eyes to a corner of the ceiling. “Yeah.” He breathed some more.

“Ah.” He heard Deku inhale. “He’s here!”

“Who’s here?” He shook himself out of his thoughts.

“It’s a new friend I made!” Deku sat up to wave frantically through the glass. “Is it okay if I ask him to join us?” He turned, a hopeful grin spreading across his freckled cheeks.

Katsuki can’t very well refuse him, can he. “Don’t expect me to talk to him,” he said gruffly. He came here to rest, not exert energy to play nice to some guy Deku picked off the streets.

“Aww, Kacchan,” Deku rebuked, too distracted to really sound harsh. He got the attention of the black-haired guy through the window, and beckoned him to come in the cafe with a welcoming smile.

The guy walked towards their booth, and quietly said, “Hello.”

Now normally Katsuki wouldn’t have noticed him beyond the preliminary details (black hair, pale, casual civilian) but the voice struck a chord of memory within him.

A recent one at that.

So he followed the spark and honed in on the person before them. Huh, the eyes didn’t match. One bright blue eye and one grey eye. They seemed familiar? Where had he seen them before? And the man was also staring back at him, and it seemed as if his eyes were also widening in recognition—

“Ah,” Deku interruped the stare-off with a laugh, the look on his face one of realisation. “Shouto-san, meet my friend Bakugou Katsuki, a pro hero!”

“Detonation.” The man’s lip curled into a slight smile. Right, civilians would most likely know who he was as well. “It’s a pleasure to meet you.” He stretched out his hand, and Katsuki took it.

It was a firm hold. Skin cool to the touch, hands rougher than they would seem for the pretty boy kind. He would have expected this guy to have really soft hands. Wasn’t this kind the type to moisturise their hands after every meal?

He couldn’t take his eyes off him. Where had he seen him before?

Deku nervously laughed, and Katsuki realised he had held on far too long to the man’s hand. He dropped it, frowning. “The same,” he said dismissively.

The black-haired man sat down, while Deku’s eyes darted between them, alight with interest. His mouth pursed into a half-laugh. Yeah yeah Deku, don’t even think about it. He’s still not interested in socialising.

Deku got right into it. “Kacchan, Shouto-san has a really cool quirk! Show him!” He urged the man.

“Ah, it’s not much. I don’t have much control over it…”

But he did show Katsuki, which was to just flip his white palm over. A moment passed, and a small flame alighted on his index finger. “Useful for lighting birthday candles at least.” He huffed a short laugh.

Fire?

Hadn’t he

The villain had to have some sort of defense against the cold, and he’d seen him put a hand to his ice-covered arm, thawing it out.

He’d only ever used one hand to direct the ice.

Wait.

The fucker had white hair before, didn’t he? And that red cyborg eye had neatly hidden away his right eye and scar, before Katsuki had ripped it off.

Whatever scar there had been had been neatly concealed.

“Shouto-san, how has your week been? I haven’t seen you around in a while!”

“It was…” The man paused too long. His eye roved over the table, and glanced over at him. Was that an amused glint in his eye? “…eventful. We got into a few hold-ups for a bit on the job.”

“Eh, is that so? I heard the recent villain activity has been blocking the main roads…”

“I’m just glad I wasn’t outside on that day, I would have been extinguished.”

“Right? It was so cold the thermostat showed-”

Deku was laughing. Smiling so wide like he was having the time of his life. They were friends, he thought, aghast. They really were friends. Katsuki couldn’t jeopardise any of that. Couldn’t fuck up the day further with an arrest. Not to mention he was off-duty as well — without his gauntlets could he take the villain on?

He didn’t think so.

He slammed the table. “We need to talk.”

“Eh?” They both looked up, Deku looking particularly puzzled. The villain just looked expectant. Not that that poker face expression of his changed much.

“You,” he pointed at the villain, “and me. Outside, right now.”

“Eeeeh?” Deku’s face now looked very concerned. “Kacchan, wha-”

“Nothing for you to worry about, Deku.” He waved a hand behind him, getting up.

The villain said nothing, but he gave a reassuring nod towards Deku. “I’ll see what he wants.”

“Uh-huh…” They left him shifting uneasily in his seat.

When they got to the back, Katsuki slammed him against the wall. “You.”

“Me.” He returned tonelessly, both brows raised. He was surprisingly unresistant.

“What do you want with Deku?” He snarled, anger throbbing deep in his voice. “Just why the hell did you approach him?”

“Hmm…” The villain’s eyes stared through him. “He’s interesting. And the way his soulmark is so directly emblazoned on his arm.” Heart on his sleeve. He knew. His gaze locked back onto him. “I thought he might be mine.”

Katsuki felt the world stop. He took a breath. “That’s bullshit.”

“Oh?”

“He’s mine.” He said shortly. “That’s an explosion, it couldn’t be anything else-”

“How do you know?” The villain said softly, eyes narrowing. “Is your soulmark his?”

A hiss of air escaped him as he gritted his teeth. “None of your business,” he bit out. He snapped his head up, quirk flaring underneath his skin. “Why are you so convinced it’s yours anyway, shitstain?”

The villain studied him, placid face not giving anything away.

“You know who I am anyway,” he said cryptically, shrugging. “Fire and ice is my quirk. Red and white. The shape of the soulmark resembles the formations my quirk can take.”

Katsuki’s grip tightened. “Utter bullshit.”

“You’re the same as me, aren’t you?” The villain continued relentlessly. “We both,” he leaned in to peer into Katsuki’s eyes, as if searching for something, “don’t have a soulmark.”

“Shut up,” he snapped, lashing out. The villain caught his fist. His head was roaring.

“You know I’m right,” the villain concluded, satisfied with his probe. He pushed Katsuki’s arm off. “Not that many people in this world are quirkless now, so what are the chances there’s another one with a matching soulmark?”

“One in five, dipshit.” He heard himself say weakly. One out of all those one point five-four billion, he didn’t say. “You’ve got your chances scattered all over the globe.” He firmed his stance.

He wasn’t fooling anyone, least of all the villain who stood before him, head tipped to one side, arms crossed. “Do we have a truce for now? In front of Midoriya at the very least?”

“I’m going to haul your ass to prison the next time I see you on the street.”

“I suppose that’s the best I can get.” A smirk gashed over paper-white skin.

Midoriya Izuku choked back a laugh, watching his two friends interact. Kacchan had seemed so convinced earlier he wasn’t going to like this person, but look at him now! He hadn’t seen Kacchan interact so fully with anyone in a while, and they were even exchanging banter now?

Barbs really, but it was Kacchan so insults had to be taken with him as part of the package.

Plus there had been that moment when they first met when they had stared into each others’ eyes for a really long time… it had nearly made him flush from how intense it was. What a way to have a moment!

That settled it. A smile creased his face as he leaned forward on his elbows. He was going to try to set them up — that is, gently push them towards each other, what with how combustible Kacchan was, setting up had to be handled delicately.

They may or may not have been soulmates, Izuku thought with a fond smile, but it didn’t necessarily mean they had to get together now, did they?
