#But kacchan doesnt answer

[lily-claw]

Guys imagine in the last chapter we see Midoriya Izuku being actually Toga Himiko...

[siflshonen]

Hi there! I stumbled across your mha deep dives and I just wanted to say thank you, it really helped me understand mha a little better!

It’s frustrating being in the western fandom because a lot of the specifically Japanese ideas are unknown to a lot of the Western audience. And i get it, as a westerner myself I had very little idea as to any sort of Important Context that would be clear to Japanese readers. So I really appreciate that you took the time to even try to explain it!

With that being said, I’ve been wondering how you viewed the end of mha, and how the villains were treated. Do you think they could have been saved (or even Should have)? Could they have been redeemed? It’s so depressing for the big three (Shiggy, Dabi, and Toga) to have been teased as being able to be saved, then in the end they all just,,,die.

How do you view Izuku losing OfA? Personally, I would have thought that if he didn’t keep the power he would have become the First Quirkless Pro Hero, (there are so, SO many fanfics exploring that!), but in canon he just,,,gives up? I suppose in the collectivist view, of course he would give up. But that feels so,,,empty from a western perspective. I suppose I answered my own question of why couldn’t he be a quirkless hero lol.

I suppose I’m truly wondering how the ending of mha was supposed to be recieved, with all the cultural knowledge and everything.

I am so sorry this feels so long and disjointed, and feel free to ignore this if it doesnt make sense! (Or if you don’t have any answers, sorry for putting all this on you)

I don’t have a super well-researched and cited answer, but I can follow my heart on this one.

The only villain I’m truly sad about is Himiko, though even in that case I appreciate that she went with dignity, she went with reciprocated love, and she died as she did because it was HER choice. While I would have preferred to keep Shigaraki alive, I can’t say I miss him all that much. And besides, he regained himself and his autonomy at the end and played a part in the destruction of the thing that held him down and even the thing on which his father’s cruel house was ACTUALLY built: All for One and his meddling.

Touya’s story is tragic, but his death and the way in which it will happen is a mercy. I think it’s great when other folks imagine new endings to suit what they like, but I don’t entertain other viewpoints about his on-the-page fate.

In any case, all three of their “hearts”, if you will, were actually saved in the way most important to them. And they even got to stick it to society by refusing to give up what they wanted and be integrated into it. Death is a pretty clean and irrevocable way to separate oneself from a society, and it is an effective way to haunt the minds and hearts of those who witness those deaths and have to understand that that the person who died hated so much the idea of joining society that much.

That isn’t exactly Toya, Himiko, or Shigaraki’s character motive, but I feel like it’s worth pointing out that other cultures can view death as a kind of revenge instead of someone just trying to make the pain of existing stop. Anyway.

I kinda figured that Izuku becoming a teacher was meant to be him accepting his place in the world and indeed accepting reality now that his dream was over, which is seen as a mark of maturity to just get on with what he’s given. That Kacchan specifically spearheaded the development of his suit and was the one to hold out his hand isn’t just a character moment to show how Katsuki intends to continue to atone, I don’t think. I think it’s also because:

A) Katsuki is Izuku’s link to and representation of the quirked world, and specifically the quirked world of Heroes. He always has been, as he’s the person “closer to [Izuku] than All Might.” As long as he exists, Izuku is tethered to that world somehow and has a way to enter/re-enter it somehow.

B) Relatedly, I interpret Katsuki as an embodiment of individual will and individual’s heart’s desire continuing to remain true in the face of the collective (even after he begins to accept and work with the collective), so it makes sense that he’s the one to pursue and nurture Izuku’s “selfish” and outlandish dream of being a superhero even while Izuku himself falls in line. Put another way, Katsuki is, in many ways, an embodiment of Izuku’s heart’s desire - mostly because the two of them have the same heart’s desire.

Though, speaking as a Westerner as well, Izuku’s choices at the end of the manga don’t sit well with me, either, but this is just as much part of why I’m too much of a westerner to completely see eye-to-eye with Izuku throughout the story as it is a comment on the ending.

Most of all, I think it’s ridiculous that Hawks didn’t get Izuku’s Hero suit funded/in development the minute he took the position at the SPC, or that whatever was left of the Hero system before that happened didn’t already have it in the works. It strikes me as EXTREMELY weird.

I have other thoughts about Izuku and Katsuki’s ending, but they’re mostly reflections about other shonen manga past than anything meaningful to say here.

[kewltie]

winter au where bkdk lives in a mostly secluded village where everyone's worth is judge by what they can provide for the community but izuku is magicless and isn't particularly strong either so when the village needed a sacrificial bride to their god, izuku went up the mountains.

izuku didn't fight it despite knowing his fate, to live and die alone, bc inko was gone and he has been living off the village's goodwill. this time he can repay them for letting him live among them for so long. when they discards him at the shrine it's cold and lonely existence. technically izuku doesnt believe in a god but his ppl are superstitious, believing the god had kept their village safe and protected for hundred of yrs so they send one of their ppl up there to just tend to the shrine, usually it's one of the elderly or sickly who about to die. since those ppl dont really offer much to the community and their life is short anyway so they would bound to die eventually. izuku tho is only 18yrs old and is v healthy but he's orphan, has no magic and strength so to the village he's just leeching off their resources.

the place they live in is a very cold and brutal climate and food and shelter are very limited so everyone must contribute and pull their weight. nobody can be dead weight. tho izuku tries so hard to prove his worth and help out the village but his outcast status make it unwanted.

so when the last person who watched over the shrine, died some asshole offered izuku's name among the candidates to be the next 'bride'. izuku shown no hesitation in agreeing on it even the village's chief, mitsuki, a long time friends of his mom had asked if HE TRULY WANTED this.

izuku nodded his head and smiled, saying at least this is something he can do for their village and ppl. so he went up the mountains, never meant to be stepping back to the home he once knew till the day he die and it's so cold and dark up here. he's so terribly, achingly alone. even in the village when ppl dismissed his existence at least it been his home for 18yrs and there's comfort and familiarity but now he left it all to live in this place where the sun only comes out 2-3hrs a day and it's so isolated.

"are you just going to wait here and die?"

izuku snaps his head toward the voice and sees the familiar face of his estranged childhood friend. "kacchan?" katsuki wasnt among his escort up the mountain but then izuku didn't expect that either bc they havent been friends in a very long time since izuku was deemed useless.

“what are you doing here?" he presses, confused.

"im taking you away from here," katsuki answers with the same surefire confident that made him a leader among the kids when they were younger; a future chief in the making. "get up and let's go."

izuku doesnt rise to his feet.

"i can't," he says quietly. "it's my duty to stay here. and if you try to take me away there will be severe punishment for both us."

katsuki sneers. "scare?" he says. "who care what those old fucks say. you're not staying here." he reaches out and grabs izuku's wrist.

but izuku shaken him off, refusing to comply. "i'm not leaving. i have to stay here. im promised to the god."

"you don't believe in that shit," katsuki points out, knowing izuku still despite the chasm between them now. "so why are staying? if you want to be fucking stupid and stay here, fine i'll leave you to die," katsuki says intently. his words are as cold and unforgiving as this snowy landscape. "but if you truly want to leave then i'll take you from here. we'll go far, far away where nobody would find us."

and just like this landscape where the sun shines only a few hours a day, katsuki would offer a sliver of salvation.

"I-" izuku looks down at his lap, refusal hung on his tongue, but what came out is: "I dont want die alone," he sobs. the first selfish wish he had uttered.

and that's all katsuki needed, an almost sigh of relieve escaping him. he takes izuku's hand and this time he doesn't resist, stumbling his feet as he follows katsuki out of the shrine. out of his tomb.

in there with only a few lit candles and windows, the outside feels fresh.

"where are you taking me?" he asks. he knows he cant go back home. or wherever home is now for him. the moment he step a foot back in their village, he'll be kill for breaking centuries old tradition, not to mention katsuki would also get in trouble for helping him escape. but that's assuming izuku will expose that it's katsuki who'd helped him escape from here. no, he'll keep this secret deep in his chest. he'll die with it. if katsuki drop him off somewhere and he'll go back to their village alone, no one will ever know what happened today.

katsuki can continue to live on and be the next chief after his mother and izuku will be somewhere. not here, but somewhere far from all that he had ever known just because he didn't want to fulfill his duty. for a second, he wonders if that was a right choice in the end.

"i know a place," is all that katsuki says. he hands over a fur sack to izuku. "i got whatever i could from your house."

the sack isn't big, holding a few items from his mother and a misshapen dagger that katsuki had made for his 8th birthday. it was so long ago but he held on.

"let's go," katsuki says, hauling another and bigger sack over his shoulder.

"what's that?" he asks. "I dont think i have anymore stuff."

Katsuki rolls his eyes. "it's for me, dumbass."

and this shock him, because he's the only one leaving so why katsuki brought his stuff.

he sighs, raking a hand through his hair. "i already told /we/ are leaving. together."

izuku blinks. "w-wait, what? why are you going with me?! im the only who has to leave! if you go back now, they wont know it's you who'd helped me."

"are you done being dumb?" he scoffs.

"who else is crazy enough to risk their life to get you out of here?"

izuku's eyes widen. "y-you, you're coming with me?!"

"otherwise you won't survive a day without me," he says, as though the reason could be that simple. not like katsuki is giving up everything for him.

izuku has no family, friends, and though the bakugou has been kind to him but they're are bound by their duty to the village and who would ever choose an orphan boy over the fate of hundreds? yet katsuki would be willing to walk away from all of that just to leave with him.

he wants to ask more, but he knows if he push the more katsuki refuse to answer. katsuki has his reasons and maybe one day, he'll tell izuku. so together, they leave their village and everything they ever known.

it's just bkdk finding a place and building a home for themselves.

katsuki using his hunting skill to bring back food and furs so they can trade and earn some money, izuku picking up farm and foraging for their food supply. when they finally save enough money, katsuki buy izuku a herd of sheeps and izuku makes katsuki a coat from the furs. they havent been friends in a long time, but living and working together in a close space where they're miles away from next town over and having to rely on each other to survive, they're NOT FRIENDS but they're also more than friends. it's being partners. it's being home to e/o.

they dont talk about that day when katsuki went up the mountains and saved izuku. katsuki never explain himself and izuku is afraid to ask. was it guilt for ignoring him all these years? was he doing it out some of duty? izuku doesn't know and those questions linger in his heart.

anyway, bkdk being domestic and setting a life for themselves in a far away place. whenever they visit a town to trade, the ppl think bkdk had eloped and are like madly in love esp when katsuki takes off his furcoat and puts it around izuku, scolding him for freezing his ass off. idk how's it going to end but i love the idea of bkdk living off the land, having to rely only on each other, and there's this strange nebulous thing b/t them that neither one want to address for fear of losing each other but everyone else can see how deeply they love each other.

[slug-cube]

Do you think bkdk each are a dog or cat person?

oh! i actually have a good answer for this one, and this actually came up in a convo with a friend of mine, overcast.

intitially i thought katsuki would be a cat person, considering his own personality. but overcast made a really good point to me, so i changed my opinion on it quite quickly.

I think essientially, katsuki does indeed like cats, but cats HATE him. he gives off feral alley-street cat vibes, and cats are just like " ò-ó fuck away. forever. vibes are ratchet stinky boom boy" and katsuki has never once gotten on the good end of cat, so hes called it (very-begrudgingly) quits on those fuzzy fuckers.

however, he gets on with dogs very well. he has a healthy life style, goes on runs, and doesnt mind the excessive excited energy dogs give off (it even reminds him of a certain someone.) so its very easy to fit a dog into his life style, because he kind of already HAS a dog-like companion *COUGH* izukumidoriya *COUGH*

izuku on the other hand is defintely a cat person, though he considered dogs first as a choice of pet just like katsuki did with cats. however maybe somewhere along the way he realized that dogs didnt really suit his life style (constantly exuasted) and grew really fond of cats. especially grumpy ones. cats want their own space, too, and although izuku is very clingy and will still want that excessive attention, i think when it comes down to it, he finds it that a cats personality keeps him in check.

i think midoriya would be on the terms of understanding cat language, though sometimes it does get lost in translation. but he learns from it, accepts that cats have a different way for communicating just like dogs. maybe that also helps his relationship with a certain blond haired boy. a growing opportunity on both sides for both dudes.

overcast and me talked about howd it be even funnier if midoriya got a grumpy ass cat that only liked katsuki, or was more fond of the blond than midoriya. it would lead to a lot of fun and light-hearted banter between the two, and defintely some midoriya like whining saying that (his cat) is trying to take kacchan from him.

its very soft and would be a good no quirks au, where childhood friend turned-bully turned- frenemies to lovers, next-door nighbors or improtu roomates au.

[makeste]

im honestly scared for whats going to happen next. while i have no doubt that bakugou is the one who knows deku best, this is the first time hes reached out to him for dekus benefit. he understands him but most likely doesnt really know how to communicate with him. what they desperately need is an adult to help talk deku down instead of fighting him, but since most of the adults have proven themselves useless in this, I'm worried whats going to happen.

I meant to reply to this ask sooner, but it didn't really come together that way, so my apologies. the manga itself will probably provide a better answer than this within the next 24 hours, assuming the leaks come out as scheduled.

but in the meantime, I do want to say that I don't think there's any cause for worry here. the Kacchan of the past may have had difficulties communicating with Deku, because he never really understood the why of why Deku was doing things (so even though he's always been fairly good at predicting Deku's actions -- "don't come, Deku" -- he never really understood what was driving him to take those actions). but the Kacchan of the present definitely knows what he's doing imo.

there are two important things to keep in mind here. the first is that we know from past arcs that Katsuki is capable of remarkable insight when it comes to finding the right approach to reach out to someone.

what's notable about this scene from the Remedial arc is the way that he anticipates which approaches are not going to work. he's not the one to come up with the final plan, but he is the one to say to the others, "look, if we don't do this right, the kids are going to react like this, instead of like this." definitely something which I'd say is applicable to the current situation as well.

and the other thing to keep in mind is that if this chapter established anything, it's that Kacchan knows Deku better than anyone else.

he knew exactly how Deku was going to react. honestly we might as well have called this chapter "the nice and accurate prophecies of Kacchan." either that or, "I'm fine," after what is apparently Deku's favorite new mantra.

but anyway, so we've established that Kacchan canonically approaches situations like this with great care and anticipation for how the would-be-rescuee will react, and we've also established that Kacchan can predict Deku's reactions in particular with incredible accuracy. so given that, I think it's reasonable to assume that Kacchan has a plan here, and that there's a reason behind his specific choice of words.

"wow, real inspiring! all hail the mighty inheritor of One for All! but tell us this... are you smiling now?"

"do your worst, you All Might wannabe!!"

and this is the part where I was originally planning on writing out a much longer post, but for various reasons it never really came together. so I'll just try to summarize everything with bullet points instead.

the theme here is "OFA is a cursed power." this is something that has been steadily building up and intensifying for a while now. the past OFA users all died young. AFO drives them all into isolation and misery. the Vestiges think of OFA as a power that "is tasked with destroying AFO." Deku is now the last and only one left who can wield that power. it is a massive burden, and Deku believes that he has to carry that burden alone.

Katsuki knows exactly what is running through Deku's head right now, and has been anticipating this for a while. he read All Might's notebook. he knows what happened to all of the other OFA users. and he knows Deku well enough to understand that he fits right in with that legacy. back during the chapter 284 flashback he was clearly worrying about this exact type of scenario.

fast-forward to chapters 318 and 319. he finally tracks down Deku, and finds him looking like a trash bag that got forced through a paper shredder, surrounded by an angry mob of brainwashed civilians and NOT EVEN FIGHTING BACK AT ALL, go fucking figure. so he basically confirms with a single glance that his fears were well-founded, and that in his absence Deku has made significant progress down the path of being a complete dumbass.

Ochako then tries to reach out to Deku through words, just like Endeavor and All Might did before her, but he predictably responds with the exact same phrase Katsuki knew that he would use -- "I'm fine."

at this point Katsuki has heard all he needed to hear. he knows Deku is not going to listen. he knows that Deku believes that he can't listen, because in Deku's mind he has a responsibility to handle this all on his own, and he's afraid of putting anyone else in danger. Deku is fully embracing the "I must walk this path alone" legacy of OFA, just like All Might before him. and so Katsuki knows two things:

in order to have any hope of reaching Deku, he has to get him to understand that the legacy he's embracing is deeply flawed, and that the path he's on right now is one which ends in death and defeat, just like it did the first seven times.

and second, Deku is going to fight them, because Deku is stubborn like that. and Deku thinks that he's doing this for them. and so in order to reach him, they will have to fight back. that's a done deal.

hence the jeer about OFA, along with the pointed remark about him not smiling. and then two seconds later Deku does of course reveal his intentions to fight, just like Katsuki knew he would. and so Katsuki accepts the challenge, and also throws in a bonus jab about how Deku is perfectly emulating All Might now, just as he always wanted -- except that what he's actually emulating are all of All Might's worst aspects. his insistence on carrying his burdens alone; his reluctance to accept anyone else's help; and of course, his determination to carry on to the bitter end until his body literally breaks down.

and that is not the fate that Katsuki wants for Deku. he needs Deku to see that this is the wrong path. he needs to find a way to break past his stubbornness, just like Deku did for him, and for Todoroki, and for so many others. and so he goes on the attack. because, in the same way that Deku is willing to fight them in order to save them, Katsuki is willing to do and say and fight anything and anyone in order to save Deku -- and that includes Deku himself.

so yeah. he knows what he's doing. and I am absolutely positive that everything he's doing and saying here does serve a purpose. he will find a way to reach him. literally all of his character development has been building to this moment. Deku saved him all those times so that now, when it matters the most, he can save him in return, and he's not going to fail him now.

[decadentrot]

It is finally summer so i have the time to pump out a couple AUs out in the open cause they have been taking up too much free real estate in my brain (●'◡'●)

Ok so BKDK Nerd AU right:

Izuku and Katsuki are best buds as kids who live their life to the fullest until tragedy strikes. Izuku’s father gonna divorce his mom and leave his ass but as a parting gift he gives Izuku an All Might plush.

From there on, every traumatic experience Izuku has, Izuku will treat himself to buying a new hero plush and thats his coping mechanism. Basically at the tender age of 5, Izuku has developed the habit of retail therapy.

He finds out he's quirkless, ‘dont worry he has an all might doll to remind him to be strong in tough times.’ Kacchan starts bullying him, ‘ok let me buy that mirko doll to remind me that you always gotta keep going and stay determined.' His mom dies, ‘oh look a ms.joke plush to remind me to always keep smiling no matter what ( totally not b/c the green hair reminds him of his mom.’ Izuku gets sent to an orphanage, ‘ahh ill get a present mic figure. Maybe his confience can rub off on me and I’ll befriend the other orphans…’

At the orphanage he meets his roomie… dun dun dun Shinsou woo and at first they kinda ignore each other until Izuku wakes up at 2 am and feeling scared of this new environment and wants to sneak out to buy a new plush and sees his roomie also awake crouched over a laptop with over 300+ items on his amazon wishlist (hes even more aghast when he sees all of those items are cat related.) Nevertheless, together they enable eachother's bad shopping habits and become the resident disaster duo. Also Izuku decides not to go to the UA and instead decides to follow in his moms footsteps and become a nurse, while Shinsou learns of UAs difficult entrance exam and when inquiring about Izuku's ms joke plush, he decides to attend Ketsubutsu Academy where she works and try to learn to be an underground hero like her (I like to think shes also underground cause shes close to aizawa)

Meanwhile, Katsuki was never really one for plushes or dolls thinking thats soft shit but he always still kept the matching Endeavor keychain he still has when Izuku's father also got them when they were kids so he doesnt feel left out. Anywho he goes to UA, feeling like something is missing but adamantly refusing to admit he misses  certain green bean. He goes on grumpy and frustrated and eventually meet Shoto who sees the Endeavor keychain and gets angry at it to the point where he burns it and Katsuki is angry cause 'hey thats the last reminder of my connection to my childhood best friend' and Shoto gets angry cause 'what the hell he just said he wasnt gonna use his fire ever and he just broke his promise' They become ultimate rivals ™ which eventually turns into friends eventually in their UA years and they all work out their trauma together

Speaking of UA years, in this au I imagine there are a lot of differences but ill probably draw snippets of it later like for one All Might saves the students at the USJ but hurts himself and ends up in the hospital and surprise surprise Izukus there volunteering as a nurse (to get experience yk) and he ends up caring for Yagi-san and blabbers about heroes this and All Might that, unaware of who exactly he is talking to. I also like to imagine that Kota instead of being sent to live with his aunt, they think heroics are too dangerous and send him away to the orphanage for 'his own safety' and he become little brother to Izuku and Shinsou and slowly also becomes a hero plush fanatic ect 

The real meat of the story begins when everyones all graduated and grown up and debuted as heroes and Class 1a is asked to attend a hero con where they answer questions and give out merch to start a fan base and Izuku, Shinsou, and Kota are living their best lives in the crowd buying everything ‘woah look Hito-chan its Red Riot or woah is that Uravity yk they really captured her muscles in this figurine i boug- not that i was ogling her muscles no stop laughing at me Hi- OH MY GOD oooh cool its Creati and shes even using her cool quirk’ Meanwhile Katsuki is in his own personal hell at this convention and when overhearing a conversation, is flabbergasted his his classmates mention that this so called cute MEGA DORKY HERO FANATIC LOSER is going to all their stands and buying all their merch and complimenting them, but dares to IGNORE THE MIGHTY GREAT EXPLOSION MURDER GOD DYNAMIGHT'S MERCH?? I mean damn he may not like this aspect of heroism but he didnt sit through over 10+ hours of trying merch meeting discussing whether he wants ebony black or midnight black to be he color of his figure to be ignored. He didnt get woken up at 3am in the morning by his manger for his opinion on whether he wants to sell a 32 ounce or a 40 ounce hydroflask for this shit. So obviously he has to go and confront the nerd and he almost shits his pants when he realizes this mega loser dweeb is fucking DEKU!

Katsuki talks with him and eventually asks why he doesnt want to buy any of his stuff and Izuku ends up admitting that this merch, all this stuff is basically his therapy, when he sees these dolls he is filled with hope that he future is gonna get bad and he wont be haunted of the past and katsuki is the antithesis of that. Getting a Dynamight figure will just remind him of the past he wants to forget and while he loves Kacchan and believes in him and truly does believe he is destined for great things, he needs to let him go. Please Kacchan, let me let you go...

FUCK YOU DEKU! take my phone number and since you keep associating me with bad memories, well then lets go make new BETTER memories shitty nerd. And suddenly Izuku is hanging out with Kacchan again and Katsuki is giving it his 110% until he slowly but surely builds up Izuku's Dynamight collection.

The End lmao (hopefully i explained it well and you get the premise)

Bonus: RING RING RING "Hey Half and Half remember when you burned that Endeavor keychain... wanna help me burn down some other merch?"

Hi hi!! Can I gets a fic with toddler regressor! Midoriya izuku going nonverbal during an outing and lowkey regressing but he doesnt know what's happening and he just kind of rolls with it and the rest of 1-A's just like "whelp, looks like we've got a toddler on our hands??" Idk idk but yeah. Please n thankies

I loved this idea so much. Here is your fanfiction!! Mainly featuring Todoroki, Tokoyami, and Asui as the caregivers, with brief appearances from most of Class 1-A but I couldn’t fit everyone in. Also some Dadzawa, of course. 

Can be read below the 'read more’ or here on AO3.

Izuku had always enjoyed shopping with his class.

Of course, now that they had moved into the dorms, there were new rules. A teacher had to come with them, and the students were required to stay in groups of three at all times. They had gone shopping in chaotic groups in their first year, but now leaving campus was an entire event, filled with paperwork and anticipation.

Today, Izuku sat in the middle of the bus between Ochako and Shouto, discussing their math homework. Around them, the rest of 1-A was humming with gossip and excitement as the city sped by outside the bus. Eventually, the conversation turned to specific questions, and all three pulled out their notebooks to compare their answers.

Kaminari wandered over to check on Ochako’s answers, earing him a smack on the head from Kirishima.

“Dude, come one, cheating is totally uncool!”

“I was just checking my answer,” Kaminari pouted, rubbing his head. “I wanted to know if I got question three right!”

“Bring your notebook over,” said Izuku. “The more the merrier!”

By the time they reached the mall, half of the class had their notebooks out and were arguing about the bonus question.

“Not to discourage you from schoolwork, but we could have stayed on campus if you wanted a study session,” Aizawa called from the front of the bus as the doors opened.

“We’re here!” Mina cried, shoving her notebook into her backpack and bolting for the door without zipping up her bag. Izuku could see her through the bus windows as the rest of the class followed her, bouncing impatiently in place as she waited for them. Izuku joined the line outside the bus, waiting for Aizawa to check the class numbers and announce the groups for today.

“Alright, pick your own trios today. Feel free to travel in groups of six, but don’t be a pain for the other people at the mall. Behave while you’re here.” Aizawa’s glare travelled across the class, and Izuku nodded furiously. He wasn’t going to cause any trouble this time!

Izuku was so busy nodding that he almost missed when people started mingling to form trios. He quickly located his nearest friend, which was Shouto, and walked towards him. It looked like he had already paired up with Tokoyami and they were just waiting for a third.

“Mind if I join you guys?” Izuku asked, hooking his thumbs into the straps of his backpack as he got closer.

“You are welcome,” Tokoyami said. Shouto simply nodded and shifted his body to include Izuku in their little circle.

“Cool, thanks!” Izuku took his place with them, watching the rest of the class divide themselves. Most of them were split by gender, having discovered that the boys and girls tended to shop in different places. Aoyama and Mina were the exception to the rule, an inseparable shopping duo. Hagakure had joined them today, and the three were already planning their route through the mall with loud enthusiasm.

“Do you guys need to visit any clothes stores? I’ve gone through, like, ten pairs of socks since our last trip, but I’m okay aside from that,” Izuku admitted. “I’d love to check out the new All Might figurines, I think the games store carries them here…” His trio started to plan their trip with far less fanfare than Aoyama’s.

“You have until five,” Aizawa called into the noise of the class. “Text me if there’s trouble, I’ll be in the food court keeping an eye out.”

“Yes sensei,” the class chorused. Finally free, they filed into the mall in an exuberant crowd.

Izuku, Shouto, and Tokoyami ended up in the bookstore first, trailing each other to their preferred sections (Izuku the manga, Shouto the poetry, and Tokoyami the historical fiction, which Izuku wouldn’t have guessed). All three of them found something to take home and they re-entered the main hallway of the mall with new bags hanging on their arms.

Excited as Izuku was to read his new magazine, the sound of the mall was starting to grate on him. The lights were slightly too bright, and the rustle of plastic bags clashed with the incessant noise of the crowd. People rushed past each other, occasionally brushing against Izuku, and he had to control his instinct to flinch whenever someone stepped on his foot or bumped into his shoulder.

Izuku trailed behind the others, focusing on Tokoyami’s sneakers so that he wouldn’t lose them. He tried to shut out the sounds of the mall, with limited success. There was just too much.

“Are you alright?”

Izuku was surprised to hear Shouto’s quiet voice from his left, and glanced up to see the other boy walking beside him, forehead creased with concern. Izuku smiled and went to say… something. But he couldn’t quite figure out what to say, or how to say it, so he settled for giving Shouto a thumbs-up. Shouto’s expression did something too complicated for Izuku to follow, and then he offered a subtle smile and an outstretched hand.

Izuku didn’t think twice before sliding his hand into Shouto’s, and everything was immediately better. Had the mall been too bright? It was very nice, almost sunny. It was still a little too loud, but he didn’t have to worry about that. He just had to follow Shouto wherever he went, hand-in-hand.

Knowing he wouldn’t lose his friends, Izuku was free to look around. And there was a lot to look at. Lots of strangers, and bright coloured clothing in the shop windows, and… ah!! All Might figurines!

Izuku dug his heels in, pulling Shouto to a stop. Shouto looked back with concern on his face, but Izuku smiled and pointed towards the shop with figurines in the window, and Shouto’s expression cleared.

“Tokoyami!” Shouto called into the crowd ahead of them. “Izuku wants to stop.”

It only took a moment for Tokoyami to join them, glancing briefly down at their joined hands. “I’m with you,” he nodded. “I will follow.”

Izuku tugged Shouto towards the games and collectibles store. There were so many things in here that Izuku loved! So many heroes and cool clothing and wow! Izuku bounced on his heels a little as he pulled Shouto into the store.

Once they were inside, Izuku let go of Shouto’s hand and dove in. There were plushies to feel, and figurines to inspect, and lots of games to check out! Distantly, he was aware of the others following close behind, murmuring to each other. But the merch was so much more important. Lots of All Might, of course, but there was a plushie of Thirteen that Izuku had to take a minute to cuddle. Ochako would probably like that: she was a big Thirteen fan, and had a fair number of plushies. And there was a Crimson Riot figurine that made Izuku think of Kaminari. He gave it a pat on the spiky head. Izuku didn’t hug Kaminari enough. He gave good hugs.

Finished with his inspection, Izuku turned back to his friends and reclaimed Shouto’s hand, leaning contentedly against his side. It made him happy just to be here, surrounded by all these things he could buy, and his friends as well. Tokoyami was on Izuku’s other side, and he bumped his beak lightly against Izuku’s head when Izuku came to join them. Izuku blinked at him. Was that how birds said hello?

Izuku tried to return the gesture, but he didn’t have a beak, so he just poked his nose into Tokoyami’s jawline. He heard Shouto stifle a laugh behind him, and he was pulled back to Shouto’s side.

“Be nice to Tokoyami,” Shouto said. Izuku tilted his head, confused. He was being nice! He was saying hello.

“Should we find another group?” Tokoyami suggested quietly. “Would you like to see Uraraka?” he asked Izuku.

Izuku nodded. Why wouldn’t he want to see Ochako? She was one of his best friends!

“Sounds good.” Shouto’s fingers wrapped a little more firmly around Izuku’s as they started to walk again. Izuku continued to stare around the mall. Everything seemed so fast and loud and big. Was this how the world always was? Something felt off, but Izuku couldn’t put his finger on what it was.

Suddenly, there was movement through the crowd: Kacchan shoving his way through a group of preteen girls with his usual murderous expression, Kaminari and Kirishima loudly apologizing as they followed in his wake.

Izuku did his best to hide behind Tokoyami and Shouto, pressing closer to Tokoyami in the process. A face emerged from Tokoyami’s shoulder, making Izuku jump, but it was just a small part of Dark Shadow stretching lazily from Tokoyami’s shirt, glancing at Izuku and then back towards Kacchan’s trio.

“Don’t worry, kid, we’ve got your back,” Dark Shadow muttered, and did the same beak thing that Tokoyami had done, pressing gently against Izuku’s forehead and then retreating back into Tokoyami’s shoulder.

Izuku stared at the place where the shadow had been, mouth slightly open.

“Still alright?” Shouto asked, pressing Izuku’s hand lightly. “Do you want to get some headphones from Aizawa or Iida?”

Izuku shook his head. Less sound was nice, but he liked being able to hear his friends’ voices. Shouto gave him a thumbs-up, and Izuku mirrored the gesture with a grin.

“There they are,” Izuku heard Tokoyami announce. “Dark Shadow, get their attention.”

“Alright, alright, jeez.” Dark Shadow jumped from Tokoyami’s back and stretched above the crowd, waving a clawed hand. That got a lot of the crowd’s attention, but soon Izuku could see who he’d been gesturing at: a group of four girls, Ochako at their head, was coming over towards them.

“Hey Tokoyami, hey Dark Shadow! What’s up?” Ochako asked.

“I believe we have completed our expedition. We wanted to check with other members of our class,” Tokoyami said. Izuku frowned. Were they really done? But he needed… socks? Or maybe food? He was supposed to buy something.

“Hey, Izuku,” Tsu said, coming to join them. “How’s the trip?”

Izuku was slowly getting used to the weird twisting sensation that kept happening when he tried to talk. He gave Tsu another smile and thumbs-up. She nodded, her tongue poking out from her mouth.

“Don’t feel like talking? I get that. Ribbit. Do you want to go back to the bus?”

Izuku was conflicted. It would be quieter on the bus, and maybe he could even lie down, but all his friends were here! He didn’t want to be alone.

Not knowing how to express the feeling, Izuku reached his free hand towards Tsu and wiggled his fingers. Seeming to understand, Tsu moved forwards and curled her hand in his, and Izuku squeezed both her and Shouto’s hands.

“We’d come with you, if you wanted,” Tsu said. “I’m pretty much finished, and the others will still be a group if we head out. We’d have to check in with Aizawa-sensei, ribbit, but he won’t mind.” Izuku liked the idea of talking to Aizawa. He took care of the class. Izuku felt safer with Aizawa, and when his friends were with Aizawa.

Izuku reluctantly nodded. There was more to see at the mall, and he was sad to miss it, but the idea of curling up on the bus and relaxing with his friends sounded a lot better.

“Well, let’s go then!” Tsu said, pointing towards the food court.

“Wait, wait, I want to give Izuku a hug!” Ochako yelled, and then there were arms wrapping around Izuku from behind, pulling him back into Ochako’s familiar embrace.

Izuku melted, arms dropping to his sides and his weight leaning back into Ochako. She made a surprised noise, tilting back under the pressure, and then Izuku was weightless and Ochako pulled him properly into her arms.

“Hey, Izuku,” she murmured. “I’m sorry you’re going, but I hope you have a good time with Tsu and Todoroki.”

“Mmm!” Izuku said, hoping that Ochako would understand that he meant that he would definitely have a good time, and it was a very nice hug, and thank you very much.

“Okay, I’ll let you go,” Ochako sighed, and pressed a kiss to the top of Izuku’s head, right on his hair. He squeaked and felt his cheeks flush from the unexpected affection. It had felt… a lot like Tokoyami’s beak, actually. But kind of softer. “Take care of him, you two!”

“You know we will, ribbit.”

His weight restored and his hands taken again by his friends, Izuku turned to smile over his shoulder at Ochako as he was led away, his face still warm from the kiss. She smiled and waved, before turning back to Jiro, Momo, and Tokoyami. He couldn’t hear what they were saying, but Ochako’s voice was high-pitched and excited as she joined the conversation. Hopefully they were having fun.

“Careful, Izuku,” Shouto said, tugging at his hand. “Watch where you’re going.”

Izuku turned his eyes back to the front just in time to let Tsu and Shoto navigate him around a support beam that had been coming a little too close for comfort. Then they were in the food court, the crowd less chaotic here but the conversations louder.

Aizawa was sitting alone, dressed in passably civilian clothes with his capture weapon draped around his neck, phone in one hand. He lifted his chin as soon as Izuku and his friends stepped into view, acknowledging them as they headed towards him.

“Hey sensei,” Tsu said, when they got close enough. “Izuku’s a little overwhelmed and we were thinking about heading back to the bus for a while.”

“Did something happen?” Aizawa asked, directing the question towards both Izuku and Tsu as his eyes flickered between the three of them.

“Not as far as I know,” Shouto answered. “I think it was just the mall.” His thumb swiped across the back of Izuku’s hand. “Do you know?”

Izuku shook his head, then gently pulled his hands free.

Loud, he signed to Aizawa, whose eyes followed the gesture. Bright. Tired.

“Do you want a set of headphones?” Aizawa offered, making a shift towards the bag he’d brought along.

Izuku shook his head. Friends, he signed. Thank you.

“Suit yourself. How about a fidget toy?”

That sounded tempting, and Izuku’s face must have shown it, because Aizawa was rummaging in his bag and tossing things onto the table shortly thereafter. A Rubix cube, a length of string for cat’s cradle, squares of paper for folding, and a miscellany of little fidget gadgets. Izuku chose a set of interlocking rings that made a nice sound when he rattled them, and were fun to twist around each other. He gave Aizawa a smile and a bow, and then put the rings in his mouth. They were cool and metallic, and interesting to bite, but not very nice on Izuku’s teeth.

“Hmm.” Aizawa said, looking unimpressed. “I’ll have to clean those. And get you a proper chew if you’re going to be putting things in your mouth. Maybe a necklace so you can keep track of it.” He packed the rest of the fidget toys away, but not before tossing Tsu her favourite fidget cube and a set of keys. “Lock the bus doors behind you. If those keys go anywhere near the ignition, you’ll be expelled.”

“Yes, sensei,” Tsu agreed, tucking the cube and the keys into her pocket. “We’ll be careful.”

“You’d better be,” Aizawa said. “And take care of Problem Child.” Izuku perked up at the nickname. That was him! Aizawa was talking about him!

“Why is everyone saying that today?” Shouto said. “Of course we will.” He rested a hand on Izuku’s shoulder, which was almost as nice as holding his hand. Izuku leaned into the touch, eyes closing for a moment. He felt very tired all of a sudden.

“Come on, Izuku,” Tsu said, and then his hands were taken again and he was led away, out of the mall. Izuku’s eyes were more closed than open now, and the mall passed in brief flashes of colour and crowd. With a friend on each side, deflecting the traffic, no one bumped into him. Soon enough, they were in the fresh spring air, and Izuku blinked his eyes open to stare up at the clear blue sky, breathing in the taste of petals and dirt.

His friends were by his side, the smell of spring was in the air, and Izuku felt better than ever. The world was very big, but it didn’t matter because his friends were there. They would take care of him. He was safe.

🎄Holiday Blues🎄

I have thought! Hear me out!

I know we see Katsuki as like a holiday grouch/grinch

But what if it was Izuku?

What Izuku hates holidays like thanksgiving, christmas and new years because its always "spend time with your family, your loved ones"

But its only ever been him n his mom. Especially after his fall out with Katsuki even the Bakugos stopped coming around.

When Inko got sick it just had to be around the holidays. And when she passed it was around the holidays.

It was no dad, no best friend and then no mom.

For a really long time. So no Izuku doesnt like the holidays, no Izuku doesnt get excited.

Yes Izuku is sitting in a corner of the class 3-A dorms babysitting his hot chocolate while everyone else enjoys the christmas party.

He has tried to leave 3 times and just kept getting pulled right back. Izuku sighs sipping his hot chocolate before walking toward the front of dorms and leaving out the front door.

Kirishima slaps a hard hand into Katsuki chest

"Bro whats up with Midoriya he looks like he rather die then be here" He says

Katsuki slaps his hand "Get off me meathead"

Katsuki eyes scan the room for Izuku seeing those clunky red sneakers exiting through the dorm doors.

"Its because he would" Katsuki replies shoving his eggnog into Kirishima's hand.

Katsuki weaves his way through the crowd, grabbing his jacketand a scarf.

He opens the front door to find Izuku sitting on banister watching the snow fall.

Katsuki drops his jacket on to Izuku shoulders before wrapping his scarf around his neck.

"Kacchan" Izuku says breathy looking at him "what are you doing youll get sick"

"Oh fuck off. Youll get sick and youll make your fucked up bones act up sitting in the cold like this"

Izuku laughs but it lacks actuak happiness "I didnt know Kacchan worried so much about me"

Katsuki nudges him "course i do. Someone has too"

Izuku has a ghost of smile on his face.

They sit in silence before Katsuki speaks

"How many years?" He pauses "since auntie?"

Izuku huffs like he has to actually think about it

"Itll be five years christmas day"

Katsuki hums.

Snow falls, laughter of their friends filled the quiet air around them, the mood should be happy, jolly.

Tis the season.

Its anything but that.

"Why you let them drag you down here huh?" Katsuki ask

"Ochako and Shoto wouldnt take no for answer" izuku says "I didnt wanna be a grinch and say i hate christmas"

"You hate all the holidays"

Izuku scratches his cheek "Yeah well nothing good comes from them for me. Why would i love them?"

"What if i told you i could change that?"

Izuku laughs and looks at Katsuki "how could you do that?"

"Like this"

Katsuki presses his lips to Izukus. Nothing crazy just their lips pressed together but it was enough for Izuku to get the message. Turning his head to the side, Izuku deepens the kiss.

When they pull away their faces are red and it isnt from the cold.

"Not how i planned to confess." Katsuki breathes and Izuku laughs "How did you plan too?"

Katsuki rubs the back of his neck "i was going to go visit aunties grave with you"

"Kacchan you do that every year"

"Yeah well i wanted to tell auntie im gonna take care of you a-and she doesnt need to worry"

Izuku smiles softly watching as Katsuki's ears turn pink

"Then ask her if itd be okay i date you. I know she cant answer but i just- still wanted to ask"

Izuku places his hand on Katsuki cheek making the blonde look at him. "Thats really sweet Kacchan"

"I had whole date plan too" Katsuki says "i wanted to make christmas feel special for you again"

"It might take forever" Izuku whispers leaning closer "But its a start"

"Ive got my whole life too"

They kiss again, ignoring the way their friend whoop n cheer in the background.

So yes Izuku hates the holidays but maybe, just maybe they arent all so bad.

End 🧡💚

bestie bestie bakugou

Bakugou and fem!reader, best friends, roommates, loveeee

Warning - swears, mentions of sex

You were walking around the city for hours now, you left the apartment just before sundown and now it’s raining and you think you see the light from the sun turning the clouds lighter on the horizon. You came home after a long day of work, of fighting a villain, of almost not making it back this time, to find your boyfriend, who you didnt even live with mind you, fucking someone else on your bed. You didn’t say anything, you just walked out, quietly, he didn’t even notice. 

The buzzing in your hand caught your attention, making you aware of the heaviness of something in your palm, you raise it to see and then remember it’s your phone. The action causes it to wake up, showing your notifications, 50 missed calls from him and almost as many texts and double the amount of calls and texts from your two best friends

The screen catches the water from the rain as it flows down the surface, you try to unlock your phone, a sudden urge to not be alone hitting you, but your thumb was too cold and wet to unlock with the fingerprint. You go to press in the buttons but the screen doesnt recognize your fingers either, you’re starting to panic, to hyperventilate when the screen lights up, you relax seeing the name pop up and try to answer but you were shaking so much, you brought the phone to your lips, sticking your tongue out to click the green button. 

“Fucking bastard is going to die” he says as he wraps you in a towel, pulling you to his chest, “y/n im so sorry. You’re staying here with me for now on, i’ll go to your place tomorrow and get some of your things and get your key back from that fucker.” he was pissed, fuming, you haven't seen him this mad since high school “Katsuki i couldn't possibly put you out” he holds his finger to your lips “shut up, im insisting, plus this place is too big for just me” you chuckle through the shivers that are now finding your body, your skin and bones finally reacting to the cold as your body shakes uncontrollably. “T-t-thank you K-Kacchan” he sighs and takes your hand, pulling you with him down the hall to the bathroom. 

After a really nice shower, you exit his big ass fancy shower that was really more like a spaceship, you had to use a step stool to get inside it. It had multiple different heads, a steam option, and could even convert into a jacuzzi, if only you didn’t feel like a bath was too close to being a ‘you’ flavored soup. 

You find a change of clothes for you waiting on his bed, a pair of his sweats and one of his shirts, you brought them to your nose, taking a deep breath. They smelled like downey, the yellow kind your parents used to use, it smelt comforting. You slip on his clothes and feel like you’re getting a hug from him. 

When you make it back to the kitchen you have the shivers again, your wet hair making your back wet. He takes one look at you, arms hugged around your body, and he throws you over his shoulder and takes you right back to his room. He sets you down on the bed and then takes a hold of his hood and pulls his hoodie off, shoving it down over your head. “I’m making you some tea and then you are going to talk to me more if you feel like it okay?” you nod with a small smile as you pop your arms through the sleeves. 

Its been six months, Bakugou has helped you heal through your pain, he got you some things from your apartment and got your key back. He also officially, and with pleasure, told your ex to fuck off, that it was over and to never contact you again, with too many threats to count. He really enjoyed it and wanted to do it for a long time but he’d never tell you that. You cut your ex out of your life, easily letting him go because if you caught him cheating once who knows how long he did it, you were 100% okay with never seeing him again, the hard part was waiting for the feelings to go away, to rid yourself of the habit that was your ex. 

You tried to go back to your apartment after a few weeks, it was fine for the most part, you found a completely new bed in your room courtesy of Bakugou and although he denies it wholeheartedly you know no one else would have done that,... but after a few days you called Bakugou, telling him that it just felt empty and that it didn’t feel like your home anymore, he invited you to move in immediately and you never looked back. 

Your new bed and all the furniture you didn't sell sit proudly in the spacious spare bedroom at Bakugous apartment. He was right, this apartment was way too big for one person.

Bakugou had girls over periodically and you didn’t mind them at first, you even made them breakfast sometimes, on the off chance Bakugou slept late and didn’t kick them out immediately. He’s never liked the morning after, the girls he has dated were just to fill the hole in his soul made by the feelings he has developed for you. He’s trying to find one that makes him feel as electric as you make him feel. 

After a month of random girls you start to notice yourself resenting the girls you hear him with, the way they fake moan in the bedroom, loudly just so you will hear and then they will give you evil stares as they walk out in the morning. You asked Yao-Momo for some advice once, calling her after you hear another loud girl as you went to the kitchen for some ice cream, losing your appetite you left the ice cream on the counter and just left the kitchen (just eyerolling when he tried to give you shit about it) . “just ask him to stop” you sigh “I cant do that. I dont want to cause him any trouble. I just dont know why he has to go for girls like that” you fake throw up and she laughs “y/n do you think you like bakugou?” she asks and you gasp “of course not! He’s my best friend! And hes bakugou! I couldnt possibly…” you pause for a while as you think, were you really discovering feelings for the blasty explosion boy? This was such a rub. She just laughs at you from over the phone “unclench your jaw y/n. Dont be so tense” you realize shes right as you release your teeth, relaxing your face and jaw “you know me so well” you say with a laugh “of course i do. I’m your real best friend. Not some ill tempered boy. If you like him great, tell him and he’ll stop fucking randoms or if you dont like him tell him to stop fucking randoms so loud” you laugh “so wise Yao-momo, me lovely sensei Yao-Momo” she laughs at you before you guys have to hang up, both having work in the morning. 

After the next few days you realized just how in love you were with him, getting more and more annoyed with the girls he brought home, not even noticing that they were showing up less and less, pretty soon the random girls have stopped coming over all together, not that you knew that, you still heard what seemed to be sex noises from his room every once in a while, you just assumed he kicked them out right after, not that he was thinking about you and … you know wink wink  

Another six months later  you’re with him on a mission, the villains just keep coming wave after wave, a quirk controlling their (dead before you even came around) bodies, it was never ending, if you stopped fighting they would kill you and you didn’t know who the villain was or where they were. You had your agencies looking for them and until then you had to fight, to keep these bodies occupied so they didn't bring chaos anywhere else. You didn’t talk during the fighting but you both were paying more attention to making sure that the other was fine that you ended up just fighting the villains going after each other. When you get home, battered, bruised, and covered in sweat and blood and many tears, you each take turns showering in his amazing shower, you couldn't use a normal shower for your sore muscles. 

You made a meal for you both quietly as he showered, too tired to speak or do more than was required, when he came to find you he almost cried with relief at your home cooked meal, he was starving. You ate together in silence, both reflecting on the battle, both reliving every moment where you almost lost the other, where you almost lost the fight, feeling more and more anxious the more you thought about it. What would you have done without him? You didnt want to lose him and regret never telling him, but you know you are way to exhausted to speak. 

You stare at each other in the hallway, both wanting to say something, to not leave each other yet. You turn to go and he grabs your hand, pulling you with him into his room before climbing in bed and pulling you along with him down into his soft comfortable bed, he pulls you to his chest and you feel all your stress and anxiety leave your body. He kisses the back of your head “I love you” he whispers into your hair, the only energy he has left. You turn in his arms to look at him and see his eyes blink slowly, he can hardly hold them open anymore. You smile softly “I love you” you whisper back and he sighs, a happy smile on his lips as he lets his eyes close “good” he says and you chuckle, your eyes closing as you lean forward, pressing a soft kiss to his lips before allowing yourself to fall asleep, the feeling of his arm around you and the sound of his soft breaths comforting you.

a villain deku headcanon

cw: mentions of suicide, quotes from ep 1 that hurt, a lot of angst because why not

-

it hurt him.

all might himself saying “i can’t say ‘you can become a hero even without a quirk’”

all might himself saying “consider whats realistic”

that day was truly one of his worst. thats when all his memories crashed down on him. completely crushing his dreams to be a hero

the doctor saying “you should probably give it up”

his mother sobbing “i’m sorry izuku”

he couldn’t take it. it hurt too much. he just wanted to be good. he wanted to be a hero. but no one believed in him, why should he?

“you’re below the rejects, you’re quirkless.”

kacchan wasnt even wrong. hes nothing, since hes quirkless. right. hes below the rejects. why keep trying to prove them wrong? he should show them just how low he can go.

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

so he did.

thats when he met him. a blue haired man, dressed in black, slightly scratching his skin. he introduced himself as tomura shigaraki.

he saw izukus notebook. filled with an in-depth analysis of all pro heroes. its useful, especially for them.

he suggested to help izuku make a name for himself, to take revenge on the ones who wronged him. take revenge on all might. on bakugou.

so they faked his death, it was a peace of cake really. the whole world thought he was dead. his suicide made it into the news, a quirkless kid who got bullied for being different, who got his dream shattered. suddenly they cared.

izuku accepted. he might not be able to be a hero. but he would be able to be a villain. he didnt need to be good. he could be bad.

“you’re below the rejects”

yeah, he could go even deeper than that.

so he made it his personal task to ruin their lives. to ruin all might. to ruin hero-in-training katsuki bakugou.

all he needed was insight into U.A. a mole. so he got one. one that even made it into bakugous friend group. one that could help him ruin bakugous life first.

and when they finally captured bakugou, izuku was the first to greet him.

“hello, kacchan. did’ya miss me?” he wouldve said, with a knife on his childhood friends neck.

“what can you do? you’re quirkless!” bakugous words repeated in his head.

“surprised? c’mon shouldn’t you say hello to your childhood friend?”

poor bakugou wouldve been speechless, completely in shock. he couldnt even say anything, wasnt izuku supposed to be dead? he saw his corpse on that day! he saw the police talking to his sobbing mother, he saw the ambulance loading in his corpse, completely covered in blood.

“take a swan dive off of the roof of the building.” those words would still haunt him to this day. the second he saw the outcome of his words, he regretted them deeply. he blamed himself for izukus death every day.

the whole time those two would look at each other, izuku with eyes full of hatred and bakugou with eyes full of regret.

and when bakugou finally speaks, it would be a simple “is this my fault?” oh and izuku would know exactly what he means. his alliance with the leage of villains. but what he obviously doesnt know is that he would be the one leading them. not them leading him.

izuku would know exactly what to answer, know exactly how to hurt bakugou even more: “do you think youre that special to me, kacchan?” since he always hated not being the first, right?

he would enjoy mentally torturing bakugou. he would enjoy playing karma, giving him back everything of what bakugous done to him.

and when he’s done, he would go on to his next target. all might. and he would make sure he never dares to declare himself the symbol of peace ever again.

S01E20 - heat series [Season 1 Finale]

Katsuki stares at the doorknob. It's unlocked, but he makes no move even as the heavy, thick pheromone leaking from the door tries to compel him. "Kacchan?" The voice on the other side beckons. Needy. Permissible. Finally, his feet are unchained and he answers Izuku's call.

not all omegas's heat period lead up to wanting sex, but it can happen and though bkdk are together katsuki doesnt automatically assume sex during izuku's most vulnerable time is something izuku would ALWAYS want; he needed to hear from izuku's first

aaand that's an end to season 1 of heat series, thanks! i wanted to focus heat as like a hormone induced cocktail trip the omega's body is going thru. it makes them feel raw, exposed, and vulnerable but if you have someone w you on this bumpy ride it makes it slightly better lol. also want to take a less focus on the sex part and just how it stripped an omega of their usual restraints, being more emotionally vulnerable. there will be a 2nd season to this 'verse which this time will focus on katsuki's rut period but idk when i'll start working on it :P.

Continuing mates freedom

Third person

Bakugou did his best to not sceam or attack deku knowing that he could get kicked out and banned to never see deku again. So he'll hold back. But as for, his alpha, who was so excited to be back, has now become feral and agressive. Taking up all his self control. He looked down at the countering gift, holding it , examing it while wondering why deku had kept this trash. Everything was he learned to make deku jewellery was through out the way at the first chance deku got a really countering gift.

" I could give you better then this junk." He said as if he was reassuring himself.

"Purple doesnt even look good on you."

Bakgou wanted to destroy them in front of deku so he could see how worthless they where compared to the ones he made. Realization had struck him. If Shinsou has been countering for 3 months now, why was there still 6 bracelets. When countering if the omega doesnt us the bracelets with in a month that was a sign of rejection. Knowing this fact calmed him down a bit. That still didn't take away the fact that deku house stinks with shinisou scent. He took a deep breath took in dekus scent knowing has not lost deku yet. He had questions that need answers.

"Why is there still 6 bracelets here if its been 3 months. You aren't wearing any bracelets deku." Asked with a wicked grin. But the fact remained.

" You should just through it but haven't you. Why."

"W-W- why would I. Sure am not wearing any but Shin- " deku froze as he heared bakugous deep growl.

Deku hated how it sent a shiver through his body and hated how much it made him excited, his heart bounding at his chest as he witnessed bakugou jealousy slow eat him way.

"The moment I leave, rats took advantage to purse you. Teh. Am pissied as hell deku I been waiting so many years to final start our mating process and here I come back for you. Only to find you mixing yourself with worthless aphals."

If deku was in his right mind and not in intoxicated with bakgous smell of claming he would be in shock and angry. But instead he dropped down with tears in his eyes. Rolling in to a ball on his knees. Bakgous sent overpowered his senses. Ever inch of his body crawling with want. He made a weak chirp sound.

" And by the looks of it your quite excited for that idea Omega. I can smell a bit of sour smell around the gift." Had turned around and walked in front of deku. He bent down to get a hold of dekus hair and pulled him up to look at him.

" Deku." Other chirp.

"Tell me why you didn't wait. You promised me you would be mine since we where brats." He sound deeply hurt. That did wonders to dekus omega who was now panting as bakugous strong hand stroked his hair.

"Omega speak." Other shiver ran through dekus body.

" I-I didn't know yo- mmmhm..you wanted me kacchan. Kacchan" Tears began to run down his red cheeks that had freckles, that bakugo had counted mutpli times through out the years. Deku scent soured a bet. Bakugou stared not really feeling bad for the omega, but feeling quite pleased that deku was desperately squirming for him. He stood up, stopped stroking his hair and with the gift in hand shoved it in front of dekus face.

"You want him as your aphal Deku?" A unreadable expression on his face.

Deku leaned away his face at the smell of shinisou and his mixed scent. Deku felt shame as deep red eyes looked at him. Earlyer today shinisou came to visit and scented his gift while telling deku how sweet he was and how he hoped deku would accept him one day. How he would wait as long as deku liked. He would for every week for 3 months bring deku flowers or small presents. Shinisou was so patient and kind with him knowing very will deku had strong feelings for the other blone aphal. But still here deku was being sented by bakgou who hasn't even offered his countering gift. Even so deku accepted the sign of affection and allowed his scent to mix with the other aphal. While deku was deep in though Bakgou quickly lost cool at the hesitation.

"Answer!" Bakugou growled once more louder then he meant.

" N-NO!...but-" deku reached for the gift which earned low growls. Deku stopped then made eye contact with the beast in front of him. He continue knowing will that Bakugou would never harm him. He gaved the gift and imbraced it even if he's omega was crying out for the bakugou. He sniffed and started speaking.

" No. More then anyone you should know. Kacchan, that I love you. You are the only one I ever wanted and needed. But your the only one I can't have. You where born to have an important duty with this village. You going leave me behind. So WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO!" Deku cryed harder holding the gift. Now rejecting bakgou. Bakgou just starred not breaking eye contact. Deku kept going with sobs.

"What do you want me to do?.... I won't throw way my life waiting for someone who can't and won't love me. I been wanting you even before we presented. I waited so long for you. Only to find out your engaged to other o-omega!"

"Ah so that was it."

Deku stopped sobbing at the sound of laughter that twisted his heart to break. Of course bakugou would make fun of him. All this nonsense of shinisou scenting him was a reaction of a child to someone messing with his toy. How could deku let him self be treated like some objected-

" OI. Shut it. Who you calling a toy and am not some stupid child!"

Bakugous veiw

Stupid shitty nerd had always had a bad habit of overthinking everything and muttering out loud. I fully kneed down in front of him. Reached for his face, senting a calming smell. He rejected it but still allowed me to touch him. I grabed his face with both hands so he would look at me again. It hurts how he reject me twice. But now a I can understan how he had felt reject for so long and as the strong omega he is of course he would try his best to move forward. I leaned towards his ear and whispered my intentions. So only he could hear me.

" Izuku, I want you to be with me. I want you to only smell like me. I want you to wear my gifts with pride. I want to be bonded forever with you." I breathed in all his forest smell that I have been missing. I lower my had to grab the gift and wait for him to let go.

"Izuku. Please." I sighed

Three veiw

Both slowing taking in there smell, feeling as if the world had stopped and it was only them two. But it wasn't. There was 3 in this little world.

Part 3 coming soon

Hey so I actually wrote it @queendibz

Tw: mentions of bullying and telling someone to kill themselves.

Not spell checked

"So this is kinda akward huh?" Kaminari asked his de-aged friend.

Izuku Midoriya had been hit with a villians quirk while on patrol the night prior. He felt fine before he went to bed but when he woke up he wasn't exactly himself. You see, he had been de-aged to his middleschool self with no recollection of anything past middleschool, not even meeting Allmight. Eraserhead assured the people who found him in this state that he'd be back to normal in 12 hours, but it was still bizzare to see such a short person in the UA dorms.

"I wouldn't say akward, more like I'm thoroughly freaked out" Midoriya explained as he twiddled with the tangle Kaminari had given him.in his hands. "You and...what's the blue guys name? Iida finding me scared me the most but I'm happy to know I actually made it to UA!" The younger said with a smile. No one else was in the commons area at the moment so it was just two dudes chilling.

Kaminari laughed "Course you made it to UA Deku! You're awesome!" He chimmed. Midoriya seemed to flinch at the name hut just laughed it off, he had been told that was his Hero name though he had no idea why in Gods name he would ever pick that.

"Well never in a million years would I have thought UA accepted quirkless people like me into the hero course" he said, looking down at his lap.

That confused Kaminari "What?" He asked. "You're not quirkless Mido? What about all the green sparks and breaking your fingers and arms every practice because your quirks to powerful?" He asked.

Izuku stared at him in disbelief "Thats- I'm sorry sir but that's impossible! I don't have a quirk! And even if I did my mother can make little things float and my father has fire breathing, how would I have anything like that?!" He sputtered.

Kaminari was very, very confused "Wait so Bakubro wasn't lying?" He asked.

Izuku's face contorted in fear "...K-katsuki Bakugou?" He asked. Kaminari was about to answer his question but the elevator door opened and a sea of students came flooding out.

"Kaminari! Iida told us what happened! Is he okay?!" Ochako asked, hurrying over. She looked over at her- much smaller friend and nearly squealed "Oh goodness I knew you were a cute kid Deku but I didn't think you were this cute!" She squeaked. Pretty soon everyone was gathered around asking the poor boy questions, his young with the tangle became more and more rushed and aggressive the more fearful he got.

To many people, to much, it was all to much. And every one of them was calling him some variation of Midoriya or Deku. He abruptly yelled "Stop!" And that seemed to quiet everyone. He took deep breaths as he tried to calm down and wiped his eyes "I'm sorry its just- I don't know what's going on, how did I even get into this school if I dont have a quirk?".

He was given confused looks untill the door to the elevator opened up and the one face Izuku did not want to see popped out. Katsuki Bakugou. He was so much bigger, more muscular now too! Izuku stared at him with something people weren't used to seeing in his face, pure dread.

Bakugou slowly sauntered over, taking his sweet time and just standing there, staring at the middleschool student. "Hey Deku-". The younger flinched and brought his hands up over his head in a defensive way "I'm sorry Kacchan! Please don't!" He cried out.

Katsuki filled with pure dread, all eyes were on these two and Izuku looked absolutely terrified of him. He could already hear the whispering if "Weren't they friends?" And "Oh right he bullied him didn't he?". He clicked his toung and crossed his arms "Deku I'm not going to hurt you, I'm a different person from middleschool" he said.

The green haired boy slowly lowered his hands, an angry look on his face "Just because you changed doesn't mean you don't tell me to kill myself every fucking day Katsuki" he snapped.

"I don't tell you that! When did I ever tell you that?!" The blonde became aggravated.

"Let's see! Monday when you stole my lunch you told me to go die, Tuesday when you beat me bloody you told me the world would be better off if quirkless people like me stopped existing, Wednesday you drew a tombstone on my desk with my name on it and just this morning you told me to stand on the tracks already when I was eating my breakfast at the metro station" Silence filled the room as Midoriya recounted the stuff that had happened in his timeline. "And what's with everyone calling me Deku huh?! Is this some kind of sick joke? Can't you just let me have one good thing in my life? No I bet you get everyone to pick on me here too huh?!" The younger stood up as he yelled at him aggressively.

"I'm- sorry Izuku" Bakugou said shamefully. "I'm sorry that my middleschool self is such an ass to you, and you were the one that picked Deku as your hero name, that's why everyones calling you that" he said. Sero tried his best not to laugh, seeing Bakugou say he was sorry wasn't something you got to see every day.

Midoriya didn't seem any less pissed off but he wiped his tearful eyes and started to toy with the tangle again in silence. People dispersed to give him some space and only Kaminari was left sitting with him. "Was Bakubro really that nasty?" He asked. "He does that to me sometimes- I mean he doesnt tell me to die he just calls me stupid, dunce face, idiot- stuff like that you know? But he does that to everyone here" he explained.

"Well to.me Katsuki is- well he was a bully, we were friends when we were little but the older we got the angrier he became and it just ended up being him bullying me" he explained and scratched the back of his head. "I hate him really, sometimes I daydream about stabbing him to make it all stop" he admitted his thoughts of violence. "Though I suppose if hes okay in this timeline then I'll probably stop getting picked on" he smiled "That's something I never thought would happen" he beamed at the thiught of it.

"Yeah...hes a pretty great guy now, hes one of my best friends" Kaminari admitted. "You and I aren't very close but we're bros" he explained.

"Well I'll try and remember you okay?" Midoriya asked "And when I get to UA we'll be the best of friends!".

____

The de aged Midoriya did not I fact remember Kaminari. Infact when he got back to his own timeline he remembered nothing of his little trip to UA. But Kaminari sure did and he made an effort to get closer to the green haired boy.

hey, i’m sad can you talk about something you’re passionate about?

hey, love! im giving you: bakukami casually being soulmates and heres a lovely bakukami fic to read if ud like one

onto the rambling!!

these two are saltmates. they bonded over emotionally damaging people and being emotionally damaged people

also over being Deaf and trans and aro

as i said, they met met on their first day after the physical test. kami just started talking to baku and baku was too confused to refuse.

(second day of school) "study with me" "why the fuck would i do that?" "your practical english is shitty and im blind so i cant fucking read" "... okay"

so they went to the library and studied. surprisingly, it went pretty well

they manage each others emotions (read: denki manages both of theirs emotions). when denkis calm, katsu calms down too. when katsukis pissed off denkis this 👌🏻 close to snapping too

they yell at each other to show affection. mostly insults.

"youre fucking crazy" "and youre boring. come up with something original, kit kat" "..." "i got pocky, you wanna?" "gimmie"

they have frequent sleepovers!! they sleep at denkis to run away from m/tsuki and they watch barbie and mamma mia movies

they also binged glee at the dorms

they have their own vibing playlist and its denkis phone so occasionally katsu will send onto their convo a name of the song be like 'if u dont put it there (gun emoji)'

one day (when they already lived at the dorms, still 1st year) deku asked denki how he became friends with kacchan and denki just answered 'you treat him like a kit kat, not all might'

thunder!!! (it has nothing to do with bakukami, but lightning just shot down!!! 💛💛)

lemon boy by cavetown is so much of their song. especially the 'yeah were the bitterest guys around' line

also let em talk by kesha?? denki sent katsuki this song when katsu was angry after provisional license exam

so hc denkis has tourettes!! so hes not allowed in the kitchen because of his tics but he needs to watch over his meals and all so they both go shopping for groceries and katsu cooks for both of them!!

(at the training camp) the whole hero course: (poisoned by gas, attacked by villains might die any second) denki: i do not see 🙈 katsuki: (is said to be in danger) denki: 👁️👄👁️ yall hear sum?

lots of their hangouts are just them seating in the same room and chilling

denki reminds katsu to takes his meds

they have 'fuck my idiots in danger' sixth sense.

except theyre both paranoid so this sense is pretty off so they need to be at least in the same area or room

denki is very protective over katsuki in front of adults because adults are disappointments™ (yes including allmight, specifically talking about allmight here)

katsuki always carries stim toys for both of them, while denki carries their meds

denki teaches him compassion because compassion is fucking hard and denkis real good at it?? im jealous tbh

denki is the first person who knows about katsukis crush on eijirou. even before katsuki himself

katsuki will kick ass of every person who misgenders denki (which sadly happens a lot since denki doesnt pass much)

theyre each others bodyguards. if you look at denki funny, youre dead. if you say something bad about katsuki where denki can hear it, youre dead.

katsukis kinda scared of thunderstorms so denkis always there to calm him down

denki sucker punched best jeanist at least once

Bkdk for the ship game !!

Who is most likely to take in a child left at their doorstep no questions asked? definitely izuku!

Who is most likely to get into fights with immediate/extended family members? also definitely izuku. katsuki doesnt even know most of izuku's family. izuku doesn't even know most of his family. and bkg would never hurt inko. izuku however would absolutely throw hands with mitsuki or anyone else who dared talk shit about kacchan

Who is most likely to get way too into true crime? izuku. he'd stay up late and literally refuse to sleep until he knows every answer available. he gets incredibly invested in every story.

Who is most likely to get arrested? Who is most likely to assist in an arrest? honestly they're both pretty likely to get arrested. however i do think that katsuki would not assist izuku in anything dumb enough to get them arrested unless it was a serious hero work thing they felt morally they had to break the law for. but if its something stupid katsuki is not getting involved. izuku on the other hand is always down for whatever dumb shenanigans kacchan gets into

Who is most likely to spend a large amount of money irresponsibly? definitely izuku. he doesn't know when to stop buying merch.

Who is most likely to break off the relationship? Who is most likely to thrive afterwards? kacchan is most likely to break off the relationship, and i think he'd also be the one who thrived afterwards honestly. i feel like they'd both be absolute messes but i feel like bkg would never truly be reconciled with it but he'd eventually be able to slowly move on. i feel like izuku would just be beside himself. but i think eventually he'd also be able to move on and thrive

Who is most likely to follow a stranger and get into some trouble? izuku, unless the stranger is somehow relevant to izuku's life in which case it's katsuki

Who is most likely to have an ex that they’re still fond of? izuku. i can see bkg being friends with an ex if its soneone he was also friends with before dating, like todoroki or someone, but i think izuku would be friendly with legit like almost all of his exes ever

Who is most likely to plan a spur-of-the-moment vacation? katsuki. izuku loves spontanous stuff like that but he never does it himself because hes too focused on work. enter katsuki, who loves to spoil izuku and also is clingy and wants to be with his bf. its perfect

Who is most likely to get fired from their job? i kind of mentally snorted at this one because of course its gonna be kacchan

relationship ask game!!

Hi, srry if youve answered some variation of this before, but im new to mha and ive always wondered why, if baku "hated" deku sm, did he let him call him kacchan since middle school? I would think maybe he doesnt care but i find that unlikely since hes so high strung abt everything even more if it involves deku. One of my favorite moments is when the villains attack the training camp and dekus like: theyre after kacchan! and 1-A just knew who the message was from and that it was abt bakugou.

Oh don't worry, i actually haven't answered anything like this before! I'm sure others have, but I'd like to tackle it too 😁😁

Hi! I hope you've been enjoying the series and your experience here so far!

That is absolutely a great question and i wish a LOT more people would ask themselves it... I remember when i first watched the anime and I didn't like Bakugou at all, it was still VERY notable to me that he never seemed angry at the nickname, he never snapped at it. He's been shown being irritated by many things involving Midoriya, but never once has he ever been irritated by the nickname. We've also seen in past memories that all of his friends called him Kacchan, because they were all little kids! But Midoriya was the only one to continue to call him Kacchan through middle school and high school. Obviously this signifies their shared history as childhood friends, and from Midoriya's point of view, it clearly displays that he still views Bakugou as "Kacchan;" as a cool, talented individual, someone worthy of chasing after, and of someone he wants to be close to. I also believe it shows that, while he's been critical of Bakugou's actions, he still likes him, still thinks of him as a good person. I think we can say this without doubt after Deku vs. Kacchan 2. I know that wasn't part of your question but i really wanted to talk about it too...

Now, as to why Bakugou still lets Midoriya call him Kacchan, there may be several reasons, but I've heard many say that as long as Midoriya continues to call him Kacchan, there's still hope for reconciliation. And knowing what Kacchan means symbolically, can metaphorically mean that Bakugou is still worthy of being a hero, and of redemption. Horikoshi wanted us to worry over Bakugou from the beginning, worry that he would become a villain, but in the end, Bakugou would never go down that route, and even Midoriya has known this. In fact, of course Midoriya would know this better than anyone, as he's been watching Bakugou closely his whole life.

I think what we can say for certain is that Bakugou does not deny his connection to Midoriya, or any of their past together, and that he feels no need to deny it. I think despite everything he does, all the irritation he shows toward Midoriya, he still feels that connection, and perhaps even a fondness? Because I think Bakugou has struggled a little with connecting to others. He's had friends and I'm sure it's not so black and white that he only thought of them as lackeys. But I think people have always praised him and complimented his quirk, and i think that halted his social development and his ability to recognize whether someone likes him for him, or they like him for his "superiority." The latter can be anxiety-inducing, because then what happens if you don't come out on top one time? Will you lose everyone's respect? Everyone's love? Bakugou never experienced that fear until high school, when he found people who could actually challenge his power and intellect, but i think I may have gone on too long with this tangent 😁😁

Midoriya has always been special to Bakugou, and this is undeniable. From the simple fact that he always obsesses over Midoriya, to how someone once pointed out that Midoriya was a pebble in the road and not an extra like the rest of their class, Midoriya is so often singled out in Bakugou's mind, that you can't deny that Bakugou sees him as special. I have made posts in the past about how Midoriya is the only one to ever show care for Bakugou's physical and emotional wellbeing, and Bakugou had trouble reconciling that with everyone else seeing him as strong enough to handle anything. I know this seems like another pointless tangent but I guess what I'm trying to say is that Bakugou has struggled understanding his feelings his whole life, mostly because his perception of the world has been warped by how people treated him the entire time. And while he couldn't make sense of Midoriya's kindness to him, he also couldn't forget it, and I'd argue that deep down, underneath all the confusion, he felt a longing for the care he's never felt elsewhere. And so that's my long-winded explanation of why Bakugou actually likes the nickname 😅😅😅

Yes, I think Horikoshi has shown his wonderful writing skills when he makes us think that Bakugou would hate to be called Kacchan by Midoriya! After everything Bakugou has done in reaction to Midoriya, him accepting the childhood nickname sticks out from the very beginning of the series, and it shows us from the start to expect more to the story between these two (which Horikoshi has been delivering over time, slowly but surely revealing more pieces of the puzzle). In the end, Bakugou does care about Midoriya, this is undeniable at this point (particularly in the manga) and Horikoshi has done a wonderful job of showing us from the beginning, very sneakily and unsuspectingly.

Can i also say? That I absolutely loved when we see Bakugou's reaction to Mandalay's message, and he immediately knows Deku was the one to prevent him from fighting 😂😂😂 that arc really showed us just how connected these two are, how impactful their history together was and still is, and that everyone around them can see it.

I'm sure manga readers wonder why i didn't talk about certain things 👀👀👀 but i wanted to take it from an anime perspective so everyone could read, especially since I don't know if you've read the manga yet, anon! I wrote basically all of this before going to work, so apologies for it being late, and apologies if it doesnt make any sense! Abdkgndkfk I tried my best!

Thank you so much for the ask, I always love getting these! I hope you have a wonderful day and continue to enjoy your experience with this series!!! 💖💖💖💖💖
