The atypical shounen MC and his tsundere deuteragonist boyfriend

Izuku’s mental is cooked and one of my favourite gags in doujinshi is when someone, usually Kacchan, references his emotional instability. I’ll laugh and think “true sis” because I feel a kinship in that doujinka seeing it in him too. And then Izuku can also be a trigger happy cry baby and that’s not “normal” for shounen MCs. I adore Horikoshi for designing and fitting him outside the box of certified normal™ standards. Because that box is a trap. It’s a stereotypical, overused and tiring pitfall of shounen protags past. It does make you wonder, though… if Horikoshi isn’t afraid of making his MC completely susceptible to his emotions, what else isn’t he afraid of..?

Izuku presents as a high in “typically feminine” energies, incredibly giving, considerate, loving, sensitive, yet somehow still ambiguous teenager (none of us know for sure what he truly thinks or feels most of the time, as he is prone to keeping his innermost feelings tightly locked inside his chest, where they can’t be judged or rejected) and to round his personality off, his role was cast to a seiyuu who has a higher vocal register and the same beautiful soul, but Izuku can sometimes be emotionally volatile. I can’t think of any major shounens that have written their MC in this way. I think that is why we sometimes see people call bnha mid. Because just like the mha fandom dudebros who stan Izuku when he was at his worst because he was more of a Chad for them, I think these people simply don’t understand Izuku and his sensitivity to emotions he feels with his whole self, so they can’t relate to him well.

But that’s what makes him so unique and loveable to the rest of us - just as he represents quirklessness in the series, he is also a king of neurodiversity. His head’s got a screw or two loose, right? His thinking has always been out of whack and we know this to be true because the person who knows him best says it too and he doesn’t even know the other half of it.

Kacchan sees the boy who’s pushing himself too hard to prove his worth but from our perspective, Izuku also has breakdowns, ptsd, memory lapses and is losing his shit at the slightest slight to Kacchan. All of this is in contrast to Kacchan who used to be just as screwed up with his own lifelong misunderstandings and foul temperament, but has been slowly getting his act together, and while doing so, metaphorically grabbing Izuku by the hands, gently taking him along with him, to that same path of self-care that Kacchan also longs for him. So that they can live healthier lives together. Apologetically so, because Kacchan feels a lot of Izuku’s messed up thinking/behaviour is somewhat his fault. That simply by being in each other’s lives, their problems and feelings had become so tangled and twisted for years. So Kacchan has been desperately trying to unravel and blow away the garbage of it all and go back to how it should have been, had he taken that small, unassuming and kind hand 12, 13 years ago.

Their struggle and battle with feelings for each other is what makes the main bnha relationship so interesting and endearing. They say there’s a fine line between love and hate and they have both loved each other a lot and hated each other in between, but through it all, through every moment, in every interaction they have together, it is so clear to me and to all of us here rooting for them that they need and complete each other.

They are both for each other: the Ying to the other’s Yang, the quiet and understanding kindness to the fragile vulnerability, the heart on the other’s sleeve, the anchor of reason to the unreasonable and the personal hero who always saves them, again and again, without hesitation. Two complete opposites that eventually lost to their unshakeable magnetism, overcoming their messed up history together and subsequently revealing feelings that yield the angsty fine print of them both screaming out into the void:

“PLEASE DON’T LEAVE MY SIDE!”

This kizuna-bound pair have gone through so much pain and misunderstanding, only to realise the life-or-death need and crazy, obsessive, passionate love for their “most closest” other half, and damn it, if they were never meant to become canon after all this slowburn buildup, I’m going to throw down with Kohei🥊😤… 😂

I’ve yelled a lot on this website about Izuku manifesting Blackwhip in defense of Kacchan, and I will probably never stop yelling about it, but I’m watching Deku vs Kacchan Pt 2 and it literally happens here too. Izuku says he lost control a little with all he was feeling and bumped from 5% up to 8% and I never stopped to think about this before but what Izuku is feeling in that moment is that he has to help Kacchan if he can, that he feels like he owes the fight to him to help him sort out all the emotions he’s been carrying around without a good outlet

The pattern is: feel things about Kacchan, get stronger. Canonically Izuku grows the fastest when motivated by how he feels about Katsuki Bakugo and it is making me INSANE

#bkdk #bakudeku #mha #mha rewatch #and it goes both ways too!!!#Katsuki grows the most when motivated by Izuku #they are literally the best thing for each others careers as heroes and for each other in general #make each other better #I love them your honor

If we are really getting the Quirkless Izuku ending, once again manifesting that we get some form of Katsuki wanting Izuku to be his Hero partner or something in the future, despite him being Quirkless

Including some form of the convo of Izuku saying, "but Kacchan I'm Quirkless, I can't be your Hero partner" and Katsuki basically telling him he IS a hero with or without a Quirk

Bonus points of Katsuki calls Izuku HIS hero.

The story would have started out with Katsuki telling Izuku there was no way he'd ever be a hero without a Quirk and pushing him down

And ends with Katsuki telling Izuku that his heroism has nothing to do with his Quirk(or lack thereof) and everything to do with HIM, and picking Izuku up.

Idk if that is what hori will go for but it would be neat 🤷‍♀️

#yes yes i know that its not all about katsuki #and or bkdk #BUT BUT BUT #just consider this as one element to Horis overall conclusion to the story #which he has a lot of cleanup to do even after the final battle so...#idk just thoughts #bnha spoilers #bakudeku #im not willing to give up on this idea ahaha #additionally kacchan ONLY wants the best for his team #he literally thinks Izuku is THE BEST #as far as his peers #he thinks AM is the best too #obviously #but has also challeneged AM #he has challenged and called out Izukus flaws too #but he nonetheless VALUES Izuku as a hero and as a person #to he point where he wants to support and surpass him #which in kacchan speak is the utmost of compliments

BnHA Chapter 407: Wait Why Are You Running Away

Previously on BnHA: Kacchan figured out how to control his quirk upgrade and was totally chill and normal about it. Definitely not terrifying at all. He actually spent the entire chapter smiling and laughing like the wholesome little boy he is. I don’t know why Kid For One is so freaked out about it. He even politely introduced himself using his childhood nickname. Clearly he just wants to be friends with you, KFO!

Today on BnHA: Horikoshi is all “sorry to keep you waiting, here’s the AFO and Yoichi flashback you ordered at long last” and proceeds to serve a nightmarish stew of HUMAN MISERY and RATS and STABBING and CARNAGE and SO MUCH MURDER and THE SINGLE MOST FUCKED-UP CASE OF CODEPENDENCY ANYONE HAS EVER WRITTEN. I was not even remotely prepared for any of this, and if anyone else claims that they were, I will call you a liar to your face. If this chapter had a mouth it would scream. Or just sob, ceaselessly and uncontrollably. I’m really glad Horikoshi is on break next week because that man needs to take a fucking nap. My god.

okay WOW

anyone else read the first two words and just immediately say to themselves, “oh okay, so it’s gonna be one of those chapters”? I mean, I guess we were due for a darker chapter after last week’s Kacchan Comedy Tour. but idk, I just wasn’t expecting “homeless sick prostitute with a drinking problem” levels of dark

AND SHE’S PREGNANT?!

what exactly is this manga rated again? doesn’t this backstory seem just a little bit raw for the impressionable kiddos??

has anyone actually checked in on Horikoshi recently? you know, just to make sure he is okay??

what a fun and wholesome manga this is

the lil baby arm covered in blood with the AFO hole on the palm. lying next to the dead mom hand. what an image to sear into our minds. I guess it’s been a while since he killed any dogs. gotta keep us on our toes somehow

also wasn’t expecting AFO and Yoichi to be twins! that puts an interesting spin on their relationship, because it’s usually a closer bond than even regular siblings. especially with all of that delightful shared trauma from a young age!!

yes, exactly

ohhhh this chapter is gonna hurt me, isn’t it. okay. ooooooookay. let’s do this

OH I’M SORRY, THERE’S MORE?!

Horikoshi my dude. you do realize that their mom dying in childbirth and the two of them just barely surviving and growing up as street orphans would have already been MORE than tragic enough, backstory-wise. you did not have to turn this into a freaking horror show with RATS TRYING TO EAT THEIR NEWBORN SELVES jesus christ

and THAT’S where you chose to put a one year timeskip?!

what the fuck am I reading here, you guys. no please tell me, I am actually desperate to understand

so the narrator is saying that some of the quirks manifested later in life, in “pubescent and pre-pubescent stages”, which is interesting because it’s the first time I can recall hearing about someone actually manifesting a quirk that late. maybe Deku’s old OFA cover story was more plausible than I realized

anyway so eventually it occurred to everyone that they should maybe freaking study this shit, idk. and eventually the researchers concluded that the superpowers came from a new gene that apparently isn’t human. and upon hearing that, society apparently lost its freaking mind. which is fascinating to me because it implies that the turning point wasn’t actually the superpowers themselves, but the realization of what it meant

like, so they were apparently fine with it when they thought it was a “mysterious disease”, but somehow it hit different when they learned it wasn’t actually a sickness at all, but instead the Next Step in Evolution. and it became an “us vs them” thing, as opposed to a “we have to cure these poor people” thing. damn

anyway so now Japan is a dystopia and we’re cutting to a big crowd of merc-looking dudes who are getting ready to attack some “meta freaks”, how lovely

but who is this figure in the shadows

I ask politely, as if it wasn’t already beyond obvious that this is AFO about to wreck some people’s shit

ohhhhh my god lmao

hopefully Katsuki and Deku can take the present day AFO out before he winds up looking like this. because this little fella is clearly demonic and idk if anyone can stop him

you all don’t understand. you need to run the fuck away right now

oh shit it’s already too late for them

it’s too late for any of us. it’s over. it’s all fucking over

((((；゜Д゜)))

AFO I am putting the manga down. I am backing away slowly with my hands in the air. I mean you no harm. please for the love of god have mercy

holy

“you see, we told you he wasn’t human” okay Scientific Research Group, you know what?? you win this round I guess

“HE WAS LITERALLY EVIL FROM BIRTH” HORIKOSHI SERIOUSLY ARE YOU OKAY??

HE WAS BORN AN ARROGANT BABY is literally the most terrifying sentence I have ever read

what the entire fuck

it’s a gorgeous sunny mid-November afternoon outside my window. but no matter how hard it tries, the light cannot reach this place

what kind of moron would throw a can of soda at him. officially the stupidest person we have ever seen in this manga

OH MY GOD OF COURSE IT’S HIM LMAO

(ETA: how come baby Yoichi has clothes that fit him perfectly but baby AFO is just stomping around wearing a tablecloth.)

BABY YOICHI. OH MY GOD. HOW THE HELL DID YOU GROW UP TO BE SANE AND KIND AND GOOD. THAT’S MY QUESTION THAT I NEED ANSWERED RIGHT NOW. YOU ARE LITERALLY A MIRACLE. YOU ARE AN IMPOSSIBILITY, DO YOU KNOW THAT

small and weak, but also so, so cute. all of the cuteness genes went straight to him. no wonder AFO was jealous

(ETA: just want to press pause for a second to speculate about what type of twins AFO and Yoichi are, since it has some relevance to the story, and especially to the OFA/AFO quirk lore. so! at first glance the two of them would appear to be fraternal twins, just based on the fact that they have very different appearances, and also the fact that Yoichi doesn’t have the AFO quirk – no holes in his hands, etc. identical twins are born from the same fertilized egg, so in theory they would both have the same sequence of DNA, which means Yoichi would have had the same quirk as AFO. but that doesn’t appear to be the case. so all of that points to them being fraternal, not identical.

on the other hand, there is one piece of evidence in this chapter that does support them being identical twins, and that’s the fact that per the narration, AFO absorbed most of the nutrients from their mother. a few minutes of google fu informed me that this condition is relatively rare, and only happens in cases where two twins share a placenta, which typically is only the case for identical twins. HOWEVER, for what it’s worth, there have also been rare instances where two fraternal twin placentas fuse together and become a single placenta. AND this apparently also increases the chances of one of the twins gaining more of the nutrients and causing the other twin to have a lower birth weight.

so based on the evidence here, my conclusion is that the two of them are most likely fraternal twins with a case of placental fusion. besides, you can’t tell me that stealing his baby brother’s placenta while the two of them are literally still in the womb doesn’t sound like exactly the type of BS that fetus!AFO would pull, lol.)

HEY!?!

okay?!?!?! well to be fair he did throw that soda at him

oh my god this is so fucked up. in like the best and worst way possible

I genuinely couldn’t ask for a better AFO backstory. it’s so incredibly twisted, and you actually do feel sorry for him. or at least I do. but it’s also beyond clear that this kid was FUCKED UP BEYOND ALL REASON right from the get go. zero goodness in him. literally doesn’t see other people as people. sees them as possessions only. things to rule over. not other thinking, feeling human beings. and that includes his own little brother

but. even if it’s not actually what I would call love, there’s still... attachment, there. it’s the closest he can get to actually caring about someone. guh. just, somehow they have both managed to humanize him, and at the same time made him less human than ever. this manga, man. this fucking manga, though

lmao and here we go. Captain Hero

you know, all those times that I made fun of AFO for not knowing how to read, I never suspected that the twist in his backstory would be that he LITERALLY DIDN’T KNOW HOW TO READ dfksjdlfkjslkdf

but seriously though. because Yoichi appears to be self-taught, and I can’t see AFO having the patience for that, and CLEARLY no one else was around to teach him, sooooo...

oh my goodness it’s actually getting wholesome up in here

what a good fucking boy. poor AFO. fuck me, I can’t help it. it’s not your fault you’re the world’s greatest monster you poor bastard

now we’re cutting to THREE YEARS LATER. okay

is he going to declare war on the glowing baby

typical teenager concerned about nothing but likes and view counts. AFO you would be so much happier if you stopped worrying about all of that and just focused on your own growth

oh, lol. well that was quick

(ETA: r.i.p. Damien.)

“this guy had more instagram followers than me. so I killed him” honey. sweetie pie. you need therapy

omfg

all this time I was wondering who AFO’s middle school lit teacher was who had failed so spectacularly at teaching him reading comprehension. and it was YOICHI ALL ALONG. omg

“and, presumably, that’s how it always was and always will be.” dude. can you imagine listening to AFO’s oral book report on A Tale of Two Cities. “ahem. it was the Best of Times. the end” buddy noooooooo

it was at that moment when Yoichi knew, etc. etc.

oh my GOD I scrolled down to the next panel right after this one and I just IMMEDIATELY DIED LAUGHING

“WAS IT SOMETHING I SAID” ffffffffffffffff I fucking can’t omfg

NOW THIS HUSSY IS STEALING HIS BROTHER AWAY FROM HIM NOOOOOOO

HE’S HIS!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! THAT’S NOT ALLOWED!!!

oh my god the hands. so wait, is this just the standard symbolic BnHA handholding, or are there More Levels To This. when exactly did Yoichi pass OFA on to Kudou. like is that why the sudden close-up and all that? omg

WHAT!!!!

OH THAT’S THE END, HUH? THAT’S THE END RIGHT THERE, AND THAT’S JUST HOW IT IS. I SEE. OKAY THEN. EXCUSE ME WHILE I PUT MY LAPTOP DOWN AND GO INTO THE NEXT ROOM AND SCREAM INTO A PILLOW

oh my god. and break next week too. this is what you guys have been dealing with this entire time huh. I understand your feelings now. godfuckingdammit lmao

Izuku, I love you...but you're so complicated.

That’s what I got to say.

With the recent manga chapters…I’m emotional.

Back at chapter 401, I went through my gloomiest, saddest, most depressed state I’ve ever been since following this manga. At that time, I was already submerged in this whole atmosphere of ‘war’, and after Stain’s apparent death, I got a realization…It hit me like a brick: AFO was frightening.

I never measured the true impact and weight of AFO’s actions. I never understood Izuku’s perspective of AFO’s first appearance at the series back at chapter 88.

When I understood that, I really… I genuinely believed of the possibility of AFO’s winning…and I was waiting for AFO’ victory: I could hear his goddamn laugh. I could see the blood, the tears…I was drowning in hopelessness.

After all that I went through those few weeks, chapter 403 came…and I could breath. I smiled with the biggest grin I could physically do…I was excited with the panels of “the new beginning” and that bakudeku glance we had. Then, as if the sun never left our side, shining its light through all crystals of tears…Katsuki rose from death and saved All Might, along with Izuku’s help. He and All Might hit the roof of a building and, it that moment, we were blessed with one of the most beautiful smiles he have ever gotten inside this universe: Katsuki’s genuinely smile as the nerd he is by All Might’s compliment.

I can not express in words the gladness, the satisfaction that grin left me with.

Katsuki has always been a truly complicated character for me since the beginning. But I really like him. I think that he, as a character, has been through quite a lot of experiences that always left with a bittersweet taste of him never truly achieving what he dreamt of: being a hero. But he came to a new light, even after death…his smile, the first genuinely smile we got from him…It made me happy. It made me nostalgic, satisfied with the fact that he, who has suffered so much, finally was given the opportunity to shine, to be.

But then, immerse in that bliss…I could not help but think of Izuku. Compared what I felt for Katsuki in that moment with what I felt for Izuku…

and I felt so empty.

...

Izuku is so…miserable... right now.

I’ve loved his character since the first time I saw him back at that day when I was presented of the existence of Boku No Hero Academia. I remember beginning to read the manga and his character just made its space into my heart. I saw him overcoming obstacles, defying the prejudices everyone put him into, challenging and coming on top among his classmates, other heroes, becoming the true successor of the symbol of peace…but then, I saw the fog surrounding me.

At that point, back at chapter 256, I realized the situation we were: the beginning of the predestined and inevitable war.

Izuku was stronger than many, happier with his life...but there were traces of painful sadness in his words.

I could see that: there were so many things unspoken and unresolved topics about his character. What does he feel about himself? Did he feel strong at that point? How did he feel about the upcoming battle he had to face against AFO? What is the plan he has to reach out for Tomura? What about his self-sacrificial tendencies? Those are really gone or not? What about his health and body? What about gearshift and the deadly consequences it has to his body? What about his relationship with All Might? with Toshinori? Will he ever stop calling Katsuki by Kacchan? Does he still cling to that past he had with Katsuki when they were friends (before Katsuki manifestated his quirk)? There are still those insecurities he had before? Why does he insist so much that he must not cry? What about his father? Does he have any repercussions about the fact that he did not have a father figure for most of his life? Does he keep thinking of OFA as something special? What were those feelings about Katsuki that he felt that were ‘so gross’ and unworthy of addressing? What about his qurikless past self? How does he feel about his quirkless condition (reference to what he said to Kota back at chapter 72)? Has he ever thought about the bullying Katsuki put him through? What does he feel about that? Did he really forgive Katsuki?

Then, the war started. And I mean the totality of it: things were not being addressed: Everything become ‘battle’, ‘fight’, ‘live-or-die situations'...as it has to be, obviously. In the middle of a war, who in the world will rest for a few seconds to question their reality?

Everything was accelerating, moving.

Many died, many suffered. Including Izuku, whose pov was taken away from us. He went through his Dark Hero Era, his feelings were hidden at the most recondite space possible. He saw his friends and pro heroes bleed, his childhood friend thrown away there in the middle of the battlefield, presumably dead…His idol/father figure almost die at the hands of the greatest villain of all times while fighting with the most dangerous one out there who could touch the ground and destroy the whole world…then he saw how Katsuki got up and saved All Might, leaving him with more time and space to continue the battle…

At the newest chapter, we only got the scene where we see Izuku’s figure, demarcated and exhausted face, thinking how he can defeat ShigAFO.

I think that his character has gone through the correct path, but has cornered himself (or was cornered against his will) into this situation of exhaustion, with so many questions left unanswered, with his character left there with a hurricane of emotions that are not even explained and the readers have only actions to interpret from this.

While Katsuki has overcome his troubled-life and can smile, laugh af AFO's face proclaiming victory…Izuku can not.

Izuku was left behind, even though he was so far ahead of everyone. He can not smile, he can’t rest, can’t let his guard down, can’t even think for a moment what he has been feeling this whole time.

This is a situation, where sooner or later, Izuku will have to face all this things he never addressed even in the slightest…and I want to know how that situation will be.

I want to see him smile, see him become the hero, the symbol of hope he has always dream of to be…I want him to stand tall and strong, smile bright... next to Katsuki.. as it should have been all this time.

All Might: Ah, young Midoriya! What brings you into my office today?

Izuku: Well...it's kind of embarrassing. But I need your advice on something.

All Might: Oh! Is a new quirk manifesting from One for All?

Izuku: N-no. It's nothing like that -

All Might: Is Aizawa giving you trouble? He can be one tough teacher-

Izuku: No! Um...I need dating advice.

All Might: Oh. Well okay, what's the situation?

Izuku: *apprehensive* How do you find out if someone likes you and then ask them out without ruining your friendship?!

All Might: ...

Izuku: *muttering* Because this person is, like, incredible...and we've grown so much together but I'm not sure if they feel the same way and -

All Might: Young Bakugo definitely likes you back. He is always looking out for you and puts your needs before his own. If you asked him out I think he would be very interested in -

Izuku: *face is beet red with embarrassment* I NEVER SAID I LIKE KACCHAN!

All Might: Young Mirodiya...if you're going to be a successful Pro Hero, you're going to need to learn to have some subtlety.

AU where AFO can't figure out why his son is Quirkless. He has to have given him at least two dozen Quirks at this point and they just won't manifest!

1 - At first, Izuku was sad when he was told he was quirkless but soon, he became grumpy. It didn't make sense for him to be quirkless. At least, that's what he thought. But even if it did, it's not fair that none of his friends want to play with him anymore. He gets grumpier and grumpier, almost like he is hungry, until one day, Explosion is borrowed for a couple of hours. Izuku is back to his adorable self and Kacchan learns that when you're mean, sometimes, your quirk will just stop working.

2 - At the same time, AFO comes back from the USA because Inko called him to say that their son was bullied. After Inko and Kurogiri hold on to him to prevent him from starting a bloodbath in an elementary school, he does the next logical thing and gives a really cool quirk to Izuku. Let's say, Fire Manipulation (with in built Heat Resistance so the baby doesn't hurt himself). He then waits for Izuku to manifest the quirk and to see his happy little face but nothing happens. Confused, he tries to examine the quirk but argh, just like with his brother, he can't take the quirk back.

3 - The quirk is working just fine. It's just that Izuku is aware that his dad came back because he was having problems at school. So if he shows he has a cool quirk and stops being bullied, his dad might leave for work again. And he wants him to stay. He cooks him bacon every morning and his mom is happy now!

4 - More and more confused, AFO keeps giving Izuku quirks but none of them show up. Unbeknownst to him, Izuku has realized that his dad and him have the same quirk and that he keeps giving him new quirks. But here is how he makes the math: the more he pretends that he has no quirk, the more his dad will stubbornly give him more treasure to add to his hoard!

5 - It takes two months to AFO to realize that he has been bamboozled by a greedy toddler. He has never been so proud.

The unbreakable bond between two disconnected ends

While I do think that Deku is incredibly heroic, I also subscribe to the idea he loses himself the most and goes hardest specifically when it comes to Kacchan, I can’t see him motivated to this extent and acting what appears to be without limit for any other character and between us and Horikoshi knowing this little fact, it makes Bkdk so endearing and easy to rally behind.

A part of me feels that Kacchan sees all of Deku’s actions for him only as his reckless heroism, and that Deku would be like this for anyone… and this might be why they haven’t come to truly understand one another yet. Like is it really such a big coincidence that with the exception of Katsuki Bakugou Rising, Kacchan and Deku have never shown each other their heart and how strongly they feel for one another? Whether it’s simply batting in their corner to others or this deep emotional connection they have causing them stress and worry about the other, tirelessly wanting to get Deku back to the point of sleeplessness, even breakdowns and Deku’s quirk awakenings over Kacchan.

Hence Izuku’s shock with the apology and not accepting being called Izuku by him right away. That was surely because he doesn’t understand the scope of which Kacchan has fiercely worried over him and how that worry is now coming from a love for Izuku that’s probably always been resting inside him.

But we all know that rather than plain and platonic heroism, that likewise, when it involves Kacchan, Deku’s own loud actions have been coming from a place in his heart occupied by this unchangeable pure love for him and also Deku’s complete inability to accept his own existence in the world without Kacchan somewhere within his reach. Think of “Give him back!” That was the stubborn side of Izuku that wouldn’t let Kacchan go to a place where he couldn’t see him, watch over him and confirm his existence that’s right in front of him. What incredible attachment he has always felt towards him, despite everything.

Izuku kept tabs on Kacchan to the point he knows when he last spoke to him. To Deku, it didn’t matter what Kacchan was doing, as long as he could ascertain his presence nearby and that he’s okay, even if they weren’t necessarily on friendly terms. And Kacchan very much felt the same thing about Deku. “Watch me, Deku.” Watch how strong and cool of a hero I am, watch my back with those big eyes of yours and praise me like you always do. But when he realised Izuku was no longer in his reach, Kacchan fought in earnest for a chance to get him back again, to not just trailing behind him but by his side. Which is why their distance being removed and them communicating like best friends again is such a big deal and would absolutely mean the world to both of them.

I’ve always had a vague sense that Kacchan had been running away from Deku. Which side of Deku had Kacchan been running away from all this time? Heroism? Love? Both? Because Deku’s heart scared him. He didn’t just envy it or feel inferior to it - he also feared it. To me, Kacchan rejecting Deku’s kindness feels like someone saying no to a warm hug from somebody they care about on a freezing winter’s day. It made no sense. He pushes affection away so much to the point that he’s virtually touch starved now. So why did he really do it? It’s one of Decchan’s mysteries that I wish was explained fully.

And on the other side of things, Deku’s actions towards Kacchan felt more and more nonsensical as the story unfolded. There’s this confounding enigma that despite Kacchan treating Deku awfully for years, Deku has consistently always jumped very strongly to Kacchan’s defense - which makes you wonder what it is about them that allowed Deku to carry his four year old self’s pure and positive feelings towards Kacchan for so long. (This is why middle schooler bkdk is top tier dj for me, they often come up with their own answer to fill the gaping hole of missing context in this complicated bkdk puzzle.) And while I can’t consolidate in my head the truth to the mystery of their past that became such a complicated relationship in its current state (at least not a truth that belongs in a shounen… unless..? haha), I do know that Kacchan is now acutely aware of the fact this entire time he has been loved, not looked down on, by Deku and realised when Deku almost died that he also possesses feelings of love and attachment towards Deku too.

This revelation honestly affected him in a big way. It broke Kacchan’s hardened walls down piece by piece over time, until there was quite literally nothing left but his own exposed heart that he plainly laid out for Izuku.

The shot of the wound from his sacrifice that reopened - bleeding, vulnerable. A beautiful metaphor for his exposed heart and truth that he openly gives to Izuku for the first time in front of everybody. Because he realised Izuku is more important to him than his guilt and his shame and his pride.

And because they are such an iconic and invincible duo who above anything else, want to take care of each other, this does have me hoping Izuku will take his vulnerable heart and treat it gently at the end of everything, shounen or not.

But as of now, we’re at an emotional stand-still from Izuku’s side.

Kacchan’s words aged very well, past hundreds of chapters because despite being the protag of the story, we are always left wondering how Deku really feels. Kacchan’s frustration at Deku and characterisation of him here is so accurate lately 😅

I get the sense that all of this ambiguity they feel from the other has been written there for a reason and will have a meaningful climax where they will come to understand each other in the coming fight. Horikoshi places purpose behind all of the dialogue he writes - so with the dialogue between Deku and Toga in mind, when it comes to Izuku and Kacchan’s history and both not being fully aware of how much they care for one another, I think in the near future, they will acknowledge the inspiration and strength they’ve found in each other. “Don’t you also want to share the same heart?” Kacchan has been doing this with Izuku ever since DvK2 and we all know Izuku draws his own powers from Kacchan since the very beginning because he sees Kacchan not only as his personal hero, but as the embodiment of strength and confidence and overcoming one’s hardships. He watched him for years win against his biggest one of all: himself.

Because it’s not only All Might he’s been wanting to become more like, but someone else even closer to him. Someone who, without fail, has always motivated him to go beyond, above himself and even all logic and reason. And that someone has always been Kacchan. Ever since they were little. So now I am hoping they come to understand what’s inside each other’s hearts (especially Deku’s which is always shrouded in mystery.)

They understand each other’s strategies perfectly, and yet Izuku and Kacchan have always had this big gap whenever it came to knowing their true feelings. So as an answer to their disconnect over the years, an answer to their relationship which contains a mysterious and profoundly deep bond that leaves us wishing their gap to close even more, it makes sense that a moment will come to pass where they’ll really see and understand each other for the first time, without all of this evasiveness we’ve gotten used to.

#bakudeku #kana writes #bnha meta #op #Kacchan needs an answer to put his heart at ease we are missing Deku’s true feelings as always #as fanficy as it sounds thats whats happened and needs to happen to placate this #gaping hole in their relationship that you can see Kacchan wants to be filled with Izuku #the person Deku has taken the most inspiration from is probably Kacchan so it’s quite funny he only mentions all might #when Kacchan’s bright hopeful eyes gave him hope and dreams too #horikoshi you are going to have to address this sooner or later sir 😅#long post #(again sorry) XD'#also how this manifests is uncertain but maybe it has something to do with AFO/OFA #i like the idea of a metaphysical connection #because these guys are so bad at communicating to each other their feelings lol #something that will force them to communicate would be nice #im excited for 2 things: 2nd's power and bkdk getting closer lol #🙏❤️ it’s a very sad time on social media lately so I’m sending my prayers

Second chances

It's been a couple of weeks since Izuku ran into his childhood friend Bakugo Katsuki; he's a pro hero now and judging by the fact that he's the number one at the moment, it seems he's excellent at his job.

However, that's not the thing Izuku found more interesting about him; back when they both were kids, after they realized Izuku was never going to manifest any sort of quirk, Katsuki started acting strangely around Izuku. He didn't want Izuku to hang out with any other kid but him and when the little green bean said he wanted to make more friends, Katsuki got really angry and stopped talking to him at all.

Izuku felt bad about it and tried to patch things up, but Katsuki refused to listen to him; he became aggressive towards other kids and since they were afraid of him, no one approached Izuku again.

But now... after a little bit more than twenty years, they have chosen to start over again, they're friends now. It was Katsuki's idea, he ran into Izuku again the first time he walked into the coffee shop he's currently working at.

Before he could tell him anything, Katsuki apologized... It was a quiet morning, but there were still a couple of people around and the pro hero didn't care if they were watching the whole thing, he needed to apologize.

Izuku had decided to move on and forgive him a long time ago, but he told Katsuki he forgave him anyway because it seems he needed to heart it.

And now pro hero Dynamight goes to that small coffee shop every single day to see his friend.

Because they're friends now and Izuku is really happy about it.

"Nerd, get ready... We're watching All Might movies tonight, I'll make dinner!"

Usually, Izuku would get really excited about something like that, but right now he's a little bit distracted by all the scratches he can see on Katsuki's face and arms.

"Long day at work, I presume..." Izuku comments, trying to sound casual, not wanting to look too worried because there are customers around. The place has become quite popular lately, but he suspects it's because most of them want to see the pro hero in person.

"It's really nothing... Stop pouting, nerd!" Katsuki says, almost rolling his eyes at his friend.

"Why didn't you go to the paramedics, Kacchan?"

"Tch!" He huffs, crossing his arms over his broad chest. "It'd be a waste of time!"

"Nothing related to health and safety is a waste of time," Izuku argues, narrowing his eyes. "Please go back so they can patch you up... I'll have to close the shop today anyway..."

"It's really nothing, Izuku."

"Kacchan–"

"I wanted to see you!" The pro hero blurts out, blushing. He seems really flustered. "I didn't want to waste any more time doing that; I was desperate to see you, besides, this is nothing to worry about..."

Izuku feels his cheeks turning red, but he refuses to look away from Katsuki.

"Sit there, I'll bring you coffee and you'll let me patch you up."

"Izuku, I'm–"

"Kacchan," the green haired barista scolds him, putting both hands over his own hips. He looks adorable, even though he's trying his best to be intimidating.

"Fine!"

***

They usually watch movies at Katsuki's place; not only his apartment is better than Izuku's, it's in a nice part of the city. The pro hero doesn't like Izuku's place at all, mostly because he says the neighborhood he lives in is dangerous.

"You should move in with me," he blurts out as he sits on the couch next to Izuku with two bowls of noddles in his hands; he hands one of them to his friend.

"I can take care of myself, Kacchan," Izuku assures him and he realizes right before chuckling that his friend is the one pouting now.

"Move in with me anyway," the pro hero insists as his cheeks turn slightly pink. "I know you can protect yourself and you have so far, but... I want to be with you."

"You mean like your roommate?"

"Well... Yeah, in a way, but actually..."

"That doesn't sound bad," Izuku beams. Katsuki is his friend and he's the number one hero so of course he'd like the idea of being his roommate. "I'll pay you rent."

"You don't have to," Katsuki mumbles; he's clearly a little bit flustered and yet he gets even closer to Izuku.

"Then I won't–"

"Alright, you can pay me rent, nerd."

"Great!"

***

Katsuki looks happier than before, he's constantly talking about the things he's changing in the apartment before Izuku moves in; he's a very good friend, Izuku is so glad they patched things up after a long time.

He'll be paying as much as he did for his old apartment, which Izuku knows it'll be like robbing the pro hero, but Katsuki refuses to let him pay more.

Sometimes Katsuki talks about the other pro heroes who work for the same agency as he works at and it usually gets Izuku all excited because he's a hero fanboy after all.

"I'd love to meet your friends! I hope you can bring them here someday!" Izuku beams, eyes glimmering with enthusiasm as he makes a macchiato for the woman who just walked into the shop.

"Tch! Fine!"

The very next day, Izuku meets Pinky, Red Riot and Chargebolt; he can't quite believe it.

"Finally!" Pro hero Pinky says, grinning from ear to ear. "I thought I'd never meet the man who has Blasty wrapped around his little finger!"

"SHUT UP, PINKY!" Katsuki growls, but turns as red as Izuku in seconds.

It seems his friends have a wrong impression of their relationship.

"That's not the case at all," he says, feeling flustered. "We're friends! I don't have anyone–"

"You are truly adorable!" Pinky squeaks, cutting him off, before leaning over the counter to pinch his cheek.

"OI, HANDS OFF!"

"I'm Kirishima Eijiro," Red Riot introduces himself, before Katsuki has the opportunity to growl at Pinky again. It seems he's used to these kind of situations. "It's a pleasure!"

"Midoriya Izuku!"

"This is Kaminari Denki and the other pro hero is Ashido Mina."

"You're too pretty for our gremlin," Kaminari comments then, right before Katsuki hits him on the back of the head. "Ouch!"

Izuku can tell Katsuki doesn't actually hurt him, no matter how much he glares at him. It's more than obvious that he actually considers them his friends.

"So who's your favorite hero, cutie?" Ashido asks with a smirk on her face; for some reason she always looks like she has a mischievous plan in mind.

"All Might!" He answers without hesitation, prompting Katsuki to pout.

"Bro, it's alright!" Kirishima pats his friend's back gently. "I'm sure you're the second! Right, Midoriya?"

"Of course!" He answers immediately, growing nervous. He's not sure, but it looks like those three are planning something.

Katsuki seems happier after that, although it looks like he expected Izuku to say he was the favorite.

"What about the third?"

Izuku turns bright red under Ashido's mischievous glance.

"Just... Wait a minute I have to serve the tables..." He's never been happier to have customers in the shop.

"Don't think I have forgotten, cutie. Tell us who's the third..."

There's a very good reason he gets flustered by that question, however, he also doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

"Hey, Midoriya," Kirishima says sincerely. "It's okay if it's not any of us."

"Oh, okay..."

"So?" Now even Kaminari seems intrigued. Katsuki is already narrowing his eyes.

"It's pro hero Shoto."

"He's our friend too! I can bring him here so you can meet him!"

Izuku looks away from Ashido, feeling his face like it's on fire.

"I don't think it's a good–I mean It'd be awkward... I'll make it awkward because I used to have a crush on him and I'll be too nervous around him..." Izuku mumbles, scratching his left cheek nervously.

"He's going to kill him," Kaminari whispers, although it's loud enough for Izuku to hear.

"What?" He's confused, especially when he notices that Katsuki is grimacing like he's in pain.

"I'll bring Todoroki tomorrow."

"NO, YOU WON'T, PINKY!"

"Relax, Blasty... He doesn't have a crush on him anymore. Right, Midoriya?"

"Yeah, it was just a small crush anyway... Nothing serious," Izuku stammers, feeling watched. Why is that so important? He shouldn't have said anything.

***

Even as they're watching a movie, Izuku feels like something is different. Katsuki is strangely quiet and Izuku can feel him staring at him instead of watching the movie.

"What is it, Kacchan?"

The pro hero scoots closer, Izuku's cheeks turn slightly pink and he knows it's the worst possible moment to remember that, but his mind kindly reminds him he also used to have a crush on Katsuki. But it's okay now because they're friends...

"Screw it!"

"Wha–cchan!" Izuku squeaks as soon as Katsuki grabs him by the waist and sits him on his lap.

"Would you go on a date with me, nerd?"

For a second, Izuku thinks he's joking, but he knows Katsuki doesn't joke about things like that... He looks up, meeting red eyes as he feels Katsuki's hand cradling his face.

"I'd l-love to," he whispers and loves the way Katsuki smirks with triumph, but also relief.

He kisses Izuku without a second thought; the kiss is sweet, but turns into something more desperate that makes Izuku realize something...

"Wait," he pushes the pro hero away, trying not to chuckle when the blond pouts. "Is this why you wanted me to move in with you?"

At the question, Katsuki turns almost as red as his beautiful eyes.

"Yes... I wanted to tell you then that I'd be happy to start a formal relationship with you, Izuku... Because I'm in love with you."

Feeling a little bit overwhelmed, Izuku buries his face in the curve of Katsuki's neck; he listens to the pro hero chuckle.

"If you're not sure, we can just–"

"No, it's okay," Izuku cuts him off, looking up at him with a hopeful grin on his face. "I'm ready. Just promise me if it doesn't work it won't ruin our friendship."

"I promise, nerd," Katsuki whispers next to his ear, before kissing his cheek. "But let me tell you a secret... I know this is going to work."

There's no doubt in his eyes and Izuku's heart starts beating faster inside his chest, suddenly, he's also sure it'll be fine.

"Do you want to know another secret?"

"Tell me," Izuku mumbles, noticing that the pro hero looks more confident now. He likes that.

"I'm going to marry you."

"You can't know that!" Izuku giggles as Katsuki gives him a couple of kisses.

"I'm sure of it."

Izuku believes him because deep inside himself he knows it's going to happen.

"Now let me kiss you again, nerd..."
