[problematicbyler]

an incomplete history of byler sexuality discourse

and how widespread fandom purity culture and homophobia created a flourishing nsfw sub-fandom

some may call me chronically online, but i call myself a fandom historian. i've been a member of some fandom or another since i was about thirteen, and i've always been interested in the rise and fall of fandom discourse. though it's annoying in the moment it's happening, i think it's very interesting and telling to look back at the overall arcs and trends.

so, let's talk about the many times the fandom has cancelled people over byler sexuality, and how each level of "hornygate" has contributed to the growth of the proship/byler smut community.

(i use the term proship in its intended definition, which is to say, not "problematic shipping," but rather being pro-fiction, anti-censorship, and anti-harassment; it is a position of believing the fiction one creates or consumes doesn't reflect a person's real life beliefs or morals.)

i have been a stranger things lover since season 1, a byler shipper since season 2, and an active part of the byler community on tumblr since season 4. i'll mostly be focusing on post-season 4 discourse because that's what i've really been most present for and that was the period that really marked a turning point in the fandom.

seasons 1-3

i wasn't as plugged into fandom discourse back in the day, but the broad strokes of early discourse was mostly thinly veiled homophobia. claiming that it was sexualization to assume will or mike could be queer despite blatant queer coding, implying that analysts were no better than will's bullies to assume his sexuality, etc etc. people were criticized for shipping byler at all because they were so young (but these people naturally had no issue with mileven, so, again, homophobia).

season 4 (may-july 2022)

now, season 4. this is where byler was brought to the attention of a lot more fans, and stranger things' viewership reached wider than ever. the byler fandom on tumblr booms from 4k to 100k over the course of season 4's release.

this brought a lot of new people who have never been in fandoms before, people who never learned don't like don't read or your kink is not my kink and that's okay or ship and let ship.

or, a lot of times, people who had only been in fandoms for celebrities and bands, which tend to have different rules when it comes to shipping and sex, because they're real people. hence a lot of young antis' conflation of character with their actors, but that's a different rant.

so with a rapidly growing fandom, a show ripe for analysis, and the art of media literacy bleeding out on the ground in front of us, the hellscape of the fandom post-season 4 in 2022 followed as such:

august 2022

jo/kendra gate where two extremely popular analysts were called out for "sexualizing" byler while being adults (early to mid 20s). they were dogpiled and harassed because one of them said that will was giving mike "bedroom eyes" (he was) and one of them said mike was checking will out (he was):

pyshiie and moogate. the proship side of byler twitter rose up and started to divide itself. i'll credit my own joining-the-dark-side to pyshiie and moo, formerly barbjeanisms, who were two popular artists called out respectively for sexualizing byler and generally being proship. similarly, people were called out and criticized for even following or interacting with those accounts after this discourse.

september 2022

hosegate is the most famous across the byler fandom, and it's when some users proposed that the scene in the pizzeria uses phallic imagery to imply mike turns will on (or vice versa) and a lot of people thought that was too sexualized, it caused a divide, and more fanpolicing, etc.

october 2022

the artist noodlesandtea was harassed for having liked arguably nsfw bakudeku art (they were shirtless, it wasn't explicit) on the same account where they draw characters who are minors. they also drew byler kissing, which was a problem for some? anyone who defended them was also called a pedo, naturally. noodles also got called out for having drawn fanart of the popular e-rated fanfiction....

the unmarked mixtape. a massively popular sequel to a massively popular fic, the red envelope. for a long time, those were the most widely recommended byler fics, but it very soon became taboo to even admit to reading them because the sequel has explicit sex and the first has them making out.

sonnet116 gate is another fic that was beloved and then rapidly turned on by byler twitter because it had implied, fade to black sex scenes. it was about them hooking up but had no smut. and even the non explicit idea of that was offensive and pedophilic of anyone who dared read it. around this time, another fic was called out for having will moaning into a kiss, because writing a teenager moaning was also offensive and pedophilic.

i'm told i (jana / troublebyler gate?) may have influenced a lot of people joining twitter for byler smut after writing illicit affairs and some other smutty oneshots in rapid succession, seeing a lot of byler shippers moving to the proship side of the fandom just to discuss and write byler smut. i also hosted a little fandom gossip column on my curiouscat where a lot of folks confessed to reading or writing smut while pretending to be "normal" in the "main" fandom. it basically revealed/implied that a large amount of popular authors, artists, and accounts were secretly pro byler smut, and that many proshippers were "undercover" in the "main" fandom.

the blocklist era. around this time the "main" fandom also created a "st twt safety" account on twitter which was basically targeted harassment and mass reporting of proshippers. the account does warn of some genuine bad actors sending gore images via dms, being racist, etc. but by far, the majority of it was simply calling out proshippers for sexualizing byler, sharing screenshots they thought were "gross," which only resulted in spreading nsfw content to unintended audiences of minors that likely never would have seen the nsfw accounts otherwise.

november 2022

practice kissing gate is where a handful of popular fic writers were criticized for writing practice kissing fics (such as undertow), and in fact, any amount of byler making out, because adults "fantasizing" about teenagers kissing was "gross."

the proship corner of st twitter continued to grow a lot thanks to so many lovely fan creators, all of whom i couldn't possibly list but who have done a lot for the community! but we continued to get bombarded with endless callout posts and block lists and witch hunting. people were unabashedly policing people's following lists and likes on twitter to call people out for engaging with any questionable users or content. (if you search byler twitter now you can still see the wreckage of so many witch hunts.)

onward through 2023

over time things have mostly calmed down, or at least enough of the folks on "opposing sides" of the fandom have mutually blocked each other to survive. this is likely also influenced by the hiatus leaving the fandom to quiet down, the collapse of twitter-turned-x having many users migrate their fandom content elsewhere, and the mass exodus of many people from the fandom for political reasons. if i had to guess, the ramp-up to season 5 will see all new conflict as more "casual" fans return to the fandom. but who's to say.

which brings us to now:

spicybylerpolls gate, wherein the byler tag on tumblr collectively had to reckon with the fact that people want byler to have sex and it doesn't make them creeps to vote in silly polls about it. people criticized the blog for being overly sexualized and pure fantasy versus more "acceptable" analysis, with many making sweeping moralizing statements about anyone who dared interact with the blog.

this has kicked off tumblr's own sort of horny revolution in encouraging folks to be more open on here, whereas previously we were confined to our corner of twitter.

so in summary:

people over and over again put fan creators on a pedestal just to turn on them when they're "betrayed" when a person's views did not one-to-one line up to theirs.

teens in the fandom especially were "betrayed" by adults in the fandom they thought were "safe" (and i would argue that self proclaimed "safe" adults in fandom are far more dangerous to real life minors than the proship fans who sexualize fictional characters but dont interact with real teens)

most everything has been fueled by widespread ageism at any fan over the age of 18, widespread homophobia and puritanism in regards to exploring queer sexuality or discussing sex at all

so much hate has been over what are essentially "thought crimes", with people watering down serious accusations like pedophilia into a petty insult over disagreements on fiction

and the cycle repeats itself endlessly until things devolve back into witch hunting and policing peoples following and likes etc

the best part to me is that every single cancellation just resulted in more people flooding to the horny side of the fandom to post more freely and without shame. every time a person on twitter posted screenshots of my account to say how "gross" it was (while simultaneously exposing my 18+ nsfw content to their audience of minors) i had a surge in followers. the more the fandom squeezes, the more people slip from its hold.

but that doesn't make the harassment campaigns okay, and it doesn't mean the fandom didn't do massive amounts of harm to real people in an attempt to protect fictional characters.

my hope going forward is that the fandom can coexist as a community where people don't have to like or agree with certain content to treat the people who create it with respect and dignity. and i hope that, while this side of the fandom might grow more on tumblr, we don't have to relive the same old discourses and go through the same cycles we went through on twitter.

and remember kids, the block button is both free and fun.

[sapphic-agent]

I'm sorry to the people who like Bakugou and don't act like this. Y'all really get bad representation lmao.

But let's talk about this. I don't know about my fellow antis, but my dislike of Bakugou has nothing to do with his popularity. Sure, his stans can be annoying- as OP so kindly demonstrated for us- but if that was the case I'd hate characters like Gojo or Levi and I don't have problems with either of them.

(Also, OP, no ones forcing you to read anything. That's entirely up to you, our stuff is tagged correctly. Considering the way you tagged your post, I'm assuming you wanted us to see it)

I've stated my reasons for disliking Bakugou (many times in fact) but even if OP read them, he would just claim that I "don't know shit about the BHNA manga's core emotional story" (this is so unhinged omg). That's always the defense Bakugou stans fall back on, that we somehow don't understand the story simply because we interpreted it different than they did. They use it to shutdown any actual arguments against Bakugou's character.

Let's be clear, it was a shitty decision for Bakugou to survive. Not because he's alive (I don't want him dead), but the bullshit way they brought him back. The Jeart wasn't only stupid, the #4 hero was scarified to do it. Edgeshot should have been doing something more important than simply being around just to bring Bakugou back. If it was any other character Horikoshi would not have sacrificed a top 5 hero for them. But because it's his golden boy, everyone around Bakugou must cater to him.

I shouldn't be surprised with someone who tagged "pro shipper safe," but it astounds me how willing BakuDeku shippers are to admit they support a toxic ship. If Izuku wouldn't be able to go on without Bakugou, that's a problem because life answers to no one and they risk their lives every day. All this claim does is reinforce the fact that they're codependent on one another, which is a bad thing especially considering Bakugou was his abuser (even if he wasn't, it still wouldn't be healthy). If Izuku could no longer go on without Bakugou (he 100% could, your weird headcanons aren't fact), then he couldn't call himself a hero

bakudeku fantasy au angst(can you guess what movie I'm quoting from?):

Bakugo this close to having a break down, covers it with anger. Slams down the book of dark magic:You brought him into my life and now I want you to bring him back. Bring him back! I have never asked you for anything. I've never asked you for spells but do this. I know you can bring him back.

Yagi Toshinori with a sad look on his face: No, young Bakugo. We won't do that.

Aizawa is sad too but has a serious look on his face: We don't do that Bakugo

Bakugo finally starts tearing up, but angrily flipping through the pages of the magic book:But you can. You can do this. I know you can. I remember. I found it here when my mother and father died.

Aizawa: Even if we did bring him back, it wouldn't be Izuku. It would be something else. Something dark and unnatural.

Bakugo slaming his fists down on the table: [Starts crying, and out right begs] I don't care what he comes back as. As long he comes back. Please do this for me. Please? Please? Please? Please?

(Is it Practical magic?)

This would be absolutely devastating; I can picture Katsuki crying and begging them to bring his Izuku back.

However, I like Izuku alive so let's say he finds someone (perhaps Uraraka) who's willing to do the spell. And Izuku does come back, the only thing different is that he doesn't remember Katsuki.

But that's fine with him, he's willing to work to win Izuku's heart again.

My eyes are damp from the words you left by ElStark

Summary: And in a last burst of strength Izuku managed to lift his arms and wrap them around Katsuki’s neck, “I love you,” he hadn’t written it in the letter, because he’d known Kacchan would rip it as soon as he’d read the words, but he’d thought about it since, how he hadn’t been able to let ‘I love you’ be the last words he told his childhood friend, the love of his life. “I love you so much, Kacchan, so much.”

“What’s going on?”

“I think he’s delirious from the pain, help me lift him up.”

Kacchan moved away, and someone made a sound that lifted the hair at the nape of his neck for how painfully heartbroken it sounded.

“Fuck, I’m here, I’m here.” Kacchan was immediately back at his side. “what the fuck, Deku,” he whispered, shaky, holding onto Izuku tighter.

Only then did Izuku realize, the sound had come from him. “Kacchan, I love you.”

“Stop that,” Kacchan snapped, “Stop making it sound like goodbye, you piece of shit.”


Izuku laughed. Or maybe he cried harder, he wasn’t sure of anything anymore.

Confusion hits him for a moment and it only grows when Katsuki starts wiping away his tears with his thumb.

"It's not that... I mean I left the UA, I didn't... It wasn't you specifically... I–"

Summary: Deku smiled and glanced up at him. His fingers crept up and toyed with the hem of the Katsuki's shirt. “Why — well, why were you sleeping next to me, Kacchan?” Deku asked, staring holes into the shirt. His fingers found a stray thread and began picking at it.

Katsuki’s heart started thundering suddenly and he was very thankful it was still dark, though he wondered if Deku could feel the heat radiating from his face. He wasn’t even sure why he felt flustered, only that his useless brain couldn’t provide an answer that wasn’t completely humiliating.

Hands reached for him, yanked his mask off, scratched at his face, pulled at his hair until chunks came off.

Another idea, aideku with past bakudeku based on the song Blacklist by Lost Stars. Basically, Izuku being absolutely done with Bakugo's past behavior and attempts at getting him back. I'll let you interpret it however you wish 😉.

So, I have a new song on my playlist now. I really love that song, it's awesome! Let me know what you think!

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

Staring at the door that Bakugou had slammed, Izuku was stunned at how relieved he was.  Oh, he knew that Bakugou was going to try and blacklist him with all of the Hero agencies, but here was the thing.  Izuku wasn’t stupid-he’d seen this coming from a mile away when he’d started spending more time with Aizawa Shouta.  Bakugou had hated it, because Shouta had encouraged Izuku to stand up for himself and not take Bakugou’s shit.  So he was prepared for what Bakugou was going to do.

It was genuinely funny, almost six months later.  Bakugou had obviously expected Izuku to have some sort of crisis when he left, but Izuku had built up a good support system for himself and he’d been able to lean on his friends.  Especially Shouta, who had admitted a few months after Bakugou had left that he had feelings for Izuku.  

Bakugou had tried to spread gossip, saying that Izuku had cheated on him with Izuku and that he’d just gone a little crazy in the aftermath.  It was a smart ploy-except for the fact that Izuku had already explained what had happened to everyone.  Izuku and Bakugou had broken up time and time again, and every time Izuku took him back.  He’d made a thousand excuses for the way Bakugou treated him, and he was glad that he’d finally broken the habit. It had been some sort of messed up game for Bakugou, and Izuku was completely done with it. 

But Bakugou had asked for one meeting, and Izuku had agreed to one in public.  “You need me,” Bakugou told him quietly, something almost desperate in his eyes as he tried to reach out and take Izuku’s hand.  Izuku pulled back and sighed at him.  “Do you think I’m stupid?”  He asked, almost rhetorically.  “You know, I thought I’d always hate to say we didn’t make it, but I don’t.  I’m glad we didn’t make it.  I have a good life, an amazing new boyfriend, and friends who support me like you never did.”  He nudged the box on the floor with his foot.  “I’ve brought all of the shit you left, so take it and get out,” he said softly.  “We’re never going to happen again.”

Hello, how are you? I love your blog, thanks so much for sharing you post, Neon (sorry, can I call you that?)

I found your blog cause your BakuDeku and SatoSugu posts, and I was surprised when found out, you also a fan of Banana Fish, Fushigi Yuugi, AoT and Sk8.

Last week was my birthday, and one of the best present for me is founding your blog.

Can I ask your fav characters and moments each from Banana Fish and AoT? Sorry if maybe you've already posted this before.

Happy belated birthday! 🎉✨

I hope you enjoyed yourself 💛 IDK how old you turned but here's to another year around the sun. I don't really do new years' resolutions, but, on my birthday each year, I think about how I want to spend the next year of my life. I hope your next year is extra special.

I haven't quite answered this so please see below!

⚠️ Spoiler warning for Banana Fish anime and Attack on Titan through series end.

CHARACTERS

Aslan Jade Callenreese - Because of COURSE he is. Plenty of places to read about why that is but just know, he is precious and I know he deserved better.

Shorter Wong - Just a funny lil guy. But to know the walls that would have divided Ash and Shorter which they would have broken down to have such trust and peace between them makes everything that happened that much more devastating.

Eiji Okumura - To paint Eiji as some harmless little cinnamon roll does his character such an injustice. He was gentle but he was fearless and could be fierce and had such a teasing sense of humor. I adore him for who he was to Ash but also because he could be sassy and obstinate.

Jessica Randy - Bad bitch with a gun. Adore her for being just as mean as Ash and not treating him like glass but also being sympathetic in those moments where they really connect.

MOMENTS

Admittedly, I wound up having to stop watching Banana Fish part way through because it was so devastating and I was triggered. ✨ Took a month long break before I finished it and I have not watched it since. It just haunts me. I thought I'd read the manga but haven't brought myself to though I did buy Vol. 19 so I could get some closure.

Ash and Eiji's immediate gravitation toward one another from him just giving Eiji his gun?? and from the way he watched with awe how Eiji pole vaulted over fence and effectively saving them. Such a funny way to set up such an unlikely but perfect pair.

Ash shooting from atop the truck and everyone retreating into the Manhattan? river.. THE WAY SHORTER INSTINCTIVELY GRABBED EIJI?

Ash showing Eiji how to shoot in Connecticut, the way he softened up like they were just kids playing but then immediately had to retreat back to being Ash Lynx when he noticed other people watching.

How, even in his betrayal, Shorter did what he could to protect Eiji while in the mansion.

When they busted Ash out of the mansion, that moment of clarity when he realized Eiji was there for him.

Jack-o-Lanterns.

Every single father son moment Ash had with Max.

The moment Max burned Ash's photos. I could actually bawl right now thinking about it?

Yut Lung's revenge on his brothers.

Ash's triumph over Rick Fox.

CHARACTERS (have a funny way of not making it to the end of the series, huh?)

Levi Ackerman - I think I just like people who are burdened and damned.

Hange Zoe - Their personality did not fit the confines of life behind the walls and yet.. there they were. Brilliant, quirky, compassionate and curious. But eventually carried the weight of the whole world which blotted out their smile.

Sasha Braus, Connie Springer, Jean Kirstein - My favorite trio. From Jean's artistry, to Connie's horrible comedic timing and Sasha's insatiable hunger. Just a recipe for hilarity.

Mikasa Ackerman - Admittedly, she lost her edge and appeal later in the series which is such a shame. I mean, they brought it back for the ending but just feel like her being this OP bad ass could have had a personality consistently to match.

MOMENTS

Attack on Titan had such exquisite exposition. This is definitely a series I always wish I could watch and read for the first time again. From the world building to the fact that, just when you get settled into understanding everything, your perspective on that world is completely rearranged. Now as a veteran watcher, crazy to find all the easter eggs that were hidden in plain sight.

The reveal at Utgard tower + their success in the box - As their first line of defense is fighting against dwindling stamina and dulling blades. Offset by the impossible odds of the newbie squads' success. Devastating.

Flegel Reeves' takes on the MP's - THE REVEAL. Also, what a way to emphasize their corruption in front of those shitty run down buildings. It was such a heart swelling moment.

Levi vs. Kenny in the city - their backstory and the animation of him flitting around and dodging bullets.

Battle at Shinganshina - From Erwin's incredible speech, Connie's awful joke and the difficult decision Levi had to make. SO MUCH. Such a phenomenal succession of chaos, honestly.

THE MARLEYAN REVEAL. Bro, are you kidding me??? With a whole new understanding of oppression and classism within the world.

The scouts experiencing life outside of the walls - Especially the clowns, the cars and the ice cream.

Massacre in Marley - The chaos of the attack on Willy Tybur's play to recapture Eren but also showcase the growth of the Scouts in Paradis and the fact that their freedom still came at the cost of other people who also weren't free.

Sasha Braus' Murderer's reveal - Gabi and Falco finding their way to the Braus' was one thing. But to be turned upon by someone who wanted to help them get back home and the only Maryleyan they met because of Sasha while being spared by her father? What a turning point.

Ymir's origin story and how that devolved into the world her descendants suffer in now.

FINDING OUT EREN WAS BEHIND EVERYTHING!? Even the death of his own mother and the slaughter of the royal family perpetrated by his father. All to engineer a future where he, too, knowingly would be killed. Knowing this and rewatching it just... it was there all along.

ALSO Levi Ackerman's back story from the OVA - man has been suffering since birth.

Recalling all of this makes me want to rewatch AOT again, TBH.

Chapter 11: Concert

Izuku was settling into this life pretty well. He got to sit during practices and even helped Katsuki take care of Eri who was latched to his side now.

It was cute and it warmed his heart that the little pup found him so endearing. He assumed it was from her birth mother not giving her any piece of mind.

But now it was time for something they had all been waiting for. Then things would be changing for Izuku forever.

Katsuki had gotten his lease broken and all of his items in his apartment, little as they were, with them. He was not leaving Izuku behind.

It wasn't much like Izuku wanted to be left behind. Aside from being his mate he was also their new song writer.

He bid Uruaka and Iida farewell though the other omega was not fond of the idea. She tried to talk him out of moving away with him after what happened with Dabi but Izuku told her he couldn't stay. Aside from Dabi knowing he was in town it was also that he wanted to be with his alpha.

But she made a good point to say that Katsuki hadn't asked for his bite back to fully bond the two of them together.

He ignored it and bid her goodbye and that he would message her.

Things had just been too crazy right now to think about such things. Aside from Katsuki having to practice for the concert and get their next hotel in the next city booked, he had to take care of his daughter and get thigns in motion.

The blonde had already talked to a lawyer about gaining full custody of Eri from her mother. The woman still hadn't answered her phone of her whereabouts or when she would be coming to pick Eri up.

Not that Katsuki or even Izuku would let that happen. The woman was unfit to raise a child and that much was made evident but how skinny Eri was.

They had spoken about not having kids before but now the two of them settled in nicely with raising Eri together.

Izuku had healed and he had a small sense of relaxation knowing that Dabi couldn't at least track his exact location. He could still find what city he went to as long as Katsuki was on tour but for now he was safe.

That night was the night of the concert. Izuku had never gotten to go to one of Katsuki's concerts. He had never had the money to scrounge up to do so.

But now as his mate he was able to get a special vip pass with eri and have a private booth for them to sit in and enjoy the show.

It was up close with tinted windows and with a little bit of sound proofing inside so the sound wasn't as loud.

Katsuki had brought them in his limo with the rest of the band and even into his dressing room where they watched him get ready.

Eri was bouncing around already happy, wearing one of Katsuki's tshirts of his band that was much too big for her but she wore as a dress. Izuku had his old one on as well and smiled at how excited Eri was to be there.

“I've never got to see one of Daddy's shows like this,” Eri said beaming, boucning on the couch. Izuku sat next to her, guiding her back down gently so she woudn't hurt herself.

“Nether have I. We'll have so much fun,” Izuku said with a smile to her, tickling her side. She giggled and sat on his lap, looking at Katsuk in the mirror as he put some eyeliner on.

“Daddy, can you do a special wave to us?” Eri asked. Katsuki smirked and turned to look at the two of them. Izuku flushed darkly at the sight. Katsuki was goregeous already but that eyeliner look was always something that made him practically drool.

“You bet priness,” he said to her with a smile. “I'll do one only you and Izuku will know. How about that? What would you like it to be?”

“Can you raise your hands and give two thumbs up?” she asked.

“Sure,” Katsuki said, rising from his seat and Izuku swallowed as the rock star came to stand near them. “I'll throw in a little wink too that way you know.”

He stood before them and Izuku felt his breath hitch at the sight of his alpha. It was one ting to see him on videos and such and sure he had seen him in nothing at all.

But here in his element he seemed to just ooze confidence. Needless to say if Eri was not in the room with them he would have made the rock star late with how badly he wanted to just be swept up in his arms again.

Eri smiled with a big grin, practicing the pose and then held her arms up. Katsuki scooped her up, holding her close as he twirled her and then sat her down in his make up chair.

“Now how about I do a little magic on you so that you can show just how much you support me?” he asked his daughter. Eri bounced in her seat.

“Can I get your x thing on my cheek?” she asked.

“Of course princess,” Katsuki said and he knelt down to start drawing a small orange and black x on his daughter's cheek with some make up, happy to make her stand out and give her a fun experience that evening.

Concerts like this really weren't for children her age but Katsuki felt it important that she knew and was partially part of this life.

He wasn't ashamed of it, he didn't want her to be ashamed of it either, and one day he would let her experience a concert the way it was meant to.

Just now being so young he wanted to make sure she was safe and that no one would bother her while she was there.

Izuku smiled softly at the bonding moment between them and he picked up his notebook that started it all, scribbling on one of the latest pages. He had started to write another song though the tone was much different.

He just wondered if Katsuki would even want to sing it. The tone of most of his music had been dark which matched the blonde perfectly. Now that his life was starting to take a turn for the better the tone of his music had shifted.

But he hadn't shared it yet either. Ever since the notebook incident Katsuki had been very respectful not to pick it up and look through it or even ask. He waited for Izuku to tell hm or show him if he wanted to do so.

“Izuku,” the blonde called as he worked on his daughter's make up.

“Hm?” Izuku asked as he looked up from the notebook.

“Do I have your permission to sing your song tonight?” he asked. Izuku's eyes widened. This was the first concert after his song had debuted wthout his permission. There was something sweet about him asking about it.

“Yeah,” Izuku said with a soft smile. Besides, don't you know the rights to it Kacchan?”

“Sort of, but I still want to ask since I never got to last time,” Katsuki reminded him. Izuku flushed and smiled at Eri as she hopped down from the chair. She had very little make up on but it was cute and it brought out the matching red of her eyes to her father.

“Izuku, you want in?” Katsuki asked.

“I don't know..” he said. Compared to the two of them now he felt rather plain but he wasn't usually one to wear make up.

“Pleeease?” Eri asked. “We can match.”

“I'll be gentle,” the blonde said, giving him a small wink. Izuku flushed even more at that and he stood up, heading to the chair Eri had been sitting in.

“Okay, okay,” he said with a soft laugh and sat down. Katsuki gently rest his fingers on the bottom of his chin to have him tilt his head up, coming in close with the eyeliner.

“Try to stay still,” he said with a wink.

*

Izuku held Eri's hand as they were lead to the private viewing room by security. He smiled at the sight. It had a good view of the stage to be able to see but also had some sound proofing so it wouldn't be so loud.

It had glass windows on all sides but it was tinted meaning they could stare out but no one could stare in.

What more could he ask for?

“Looky, looky!” Rri said cheerfully as she let go and went to the couch in the room. There was a bear that looked similar to Katsuki and also a small bag in green next to it. “Daddy got us gifts.”

She handed him the bag and went back to the couch as Izuku took a seat down, giggling softly at how excited she was to hug onto the rock star bear.

Eri started to play with her bear and Izuku opened up his present. He let out a soft gasp as he pulled out a jewlery box, a necklace inside of a moon with a red stone in the center, one that matched Katsuki's eyes.

“So pretty,” Eri gushed, looking at it. Izuku smiled and clipped it onto himself, resting his fingers on it.

“Definitely is,” Izuku said and grinned when he heard the first notes of a guitar for the concert to start up.

He had never been to a concert before and honestly he liked this. He got to witness it first hand but didn't need to worry about the crowds or hurting his ears.

Being a newly marked omega would have set him off with the overhwelming of scents.

He watched as the band came out one by one, each gaining their own cheers. First Kirishima, than Kaminari, then Mina, and then finally Katsuki came out with a blaze of fireworks.

The crowd went wild and Eri let out a scream of joy, hopping up and down on the couch.

“It's Daddy!” she said with a big grrin. Izuku helped guide her down again. She went right to the window to watch, bouncing up and down in excitement.

Izuku smiled softly and wathced as she cheered and sang at least what she knew. They had sat in on practicies but this was much different.

Izuku thought he was one of the biggest fans but clearly Katsuki's biggest fan was his cute little daughter.

As the night stretched on Katsuki held his guitar, ready to start he next song.

He raised his hands, facing the windows and gave two thumbs up and a wink right to them. Eri cheered happily, the blonde grinning as he was sure she was freaking out.

“He did it!” she cried out.

“This next song goes out to someone very special to me,” Katsuki said, nodding towards Mina to start up the music which the crowd cheered for. Izuku flushed recognizing it. His song. Katsuki was singing it again.

“This is for you baby,” Katsuki said towards the window and started up the song.

Izuku flushed, standing up for the first time that night and he head to the window, resting his hands on the glass as he watched for the first ime his alpha sing the song he wrote.

After a few moments he started to sing along with it, losing himself in the song. He never thought himself of a singer at all, he had been told too often that he really wasn't one that should be singing at all.

What he didn't know was Eri looked up at him with wide eyes and a large smile on her face. To her, his voice was beautiful and perfect.

She grabbed Izuku's phone, starting a recording with the help of the secrutiy guard. She wanted to save this moment and maybe even share it with her Daddy.

All the while Izuku didn't notice, too enamored in his alpha.

Noctambulant (a bakudeku fanfic) Chapter thirteen: Aura (part 2)

as Bakugou stood outside the hospital he felt a sort of overwhelming feeling. a mix of guilt and pain. Izuku tried to take his hand but remembered it wouldn't work and sighed. "kachan.. you gonna be okay?" Bakugou sighed "it's just.. i haven't been here in a while." the air was colder somehow and the sky felt grey.. didn't feel like that before the accident, but alot of things changed when it happened. this being one of them. both took a breathe and then began to walk inside. izuku glanced over at Bakugou a few times keeping an eye on his Aura, Bakugou also glanced at him a few times. they both continue until their eyes met and then quickly turned away.

as the two of them were waiting Bakugou pulled out his phone and quietly put on his headphones. Izuku took a small peek as he was scrolling through his playlist and saw one titled "songs i think he'd like" but then rose a brow. thinking to himself for a bit. at some point he came to the conclusion that "he" was referring to Kirishima. 'those two do train alot, and they did hang around each other alot..'  the more he thought about the two of them it saddened him. he wasn't sure why it bothered him so much it just did 'what's the matter with me, it didn't bother me before.. why do i feel so-'

"Katsuki Bakugou, you can go see Midoriya now!" a nurse said

the both of them got up and Izuku shook the feeling off. he'd tried not to think about it to much.. thinking just hurt to much right now. as the both of them walked over to izuku's hospital room they heard whispers. as they got closer to izuku's room they got louder. two other nurses were talking and one of them brought up the patient staying in room 2018... izuku's room

"you know what i heard, the doctors are planning to do?"

"yeah, shame really. but nothing we can really do. they done everything they can."

"i know.. still sad though. "

"to be honest part of me wishes they'd do it sooner. just suck it up, give the room to somebody who actually has a chance."

Bakugou just stood in silence at a distance his Aura growing more and more a fiery red as the two continued. "Kachan calm down i-"

"You take that back right now!!!" he called out to them. "your sick you know that. how dare you talk about him like that. you think that doesn't effect anybody. well it does. and you have the audacity to act like that when he's fighting for his life down the hall!" izuku wasn't sure what to do in that moment. bakugou's Aura was getting out control and it was radiating and energy the was nearly suffocating to him. Izuku Began to panic and as things began to escalate izuku grabbed Bakugou's shoulder "Kachan calm down!!" then all of a sudden in a blink things were different and yet the same. Izuku was human? well no. things felt and looked as if they would to us... however something was off. like wearing a right shoe on your left foot. izuku looked around for Bakugou but couldn't find him. he quickly ran down the hall and dashed into his hospital room slamming the door. then it was silent again..  the only noise being from the beep from izuku's life support. . Izuku took a look at himself. it's a strange experience to look at yourself  from outside of your body, your looking at yourself the way every other person looks at you. Izuku stood there for a minute just staring.. then realized he didn't know where Bakugou was. "kachan...?"  he said but the he paused. 'i sounded just like..' izuku walked up to the mirror in the room and saw Bakugou's reflection.

we’re different but that’s okay || gigantic! shark hybrid! eijiro kirishima x angry! takes-no-shit! human! reader

i’m usually writing a bunch of smut so i decided to write something new for a change. sharky boy kirishima brain rot is on the train and who is there to blame? also, more smut is also on the way somewhere down the line 🥴 anYwhOmS, enjoy the drama!

quirks exist in this au but they’re waaaaay more rare, hybrids are a little more common than quirks!

content warning: swearing, violence, injuries, angst, bullying, ignorance, and to be completely honest I've modeled y/n's personality as a love child of bakudeku where she's angry but soft for certain people, specifically kiri because that's cute, also she/her pronouns are used

word count: 1.6k

next chapter masterpost

“My mama said that hybrids are just fancy pets and pets shouldn’t be learnin’! Whaddaryou doin’ here den, Shark boy?” An obnoxious country boy asked, jabbing his little finger into the chest of the innocent shark hybrid. “Must be learnin’ how to be a good shark! Sharks are bad if they’re not taught right,” another voice piped up, laughing along with the group that had surrounded the poor shark hybrid who had began to sniffle and hold back his tears.

This happened a lot. He should have been used to it but those words always hurt him. And fighting back wasn’t an option because then he’d get in trouble and he didn’t want to put his mom through that, he’s already had to be transferred a few times because of his father— er, owner.

The little dark haired shark hybrid tried to ignore the sounds of the kids picking on him, calling him names, but that didn’t stop a few tears from rolling down his face. They always picked on him during recess when the teachers weren’t looking. As long as no one got hurt they didn’t care, they never did.

“What are you weirdos doing? Leave him alone!” An angry voice said from nearby and then little Kirishima felt a presence standing in front of him, blocking him from the group that sneered down at him and pointed fingers. He looked up briefly and noticed that somewhat familiar tuff of hair, surprised to see that it was the new kid who had just started that day.

“Ew, why are you stickin’ up for him, Y/N? He’s gonna bite cha if you keep your back to him! He needs a muzzle on his fa-“ The kid’s words was cut off with the sound of a punch and then a few gasps from the other kids, accompanied with the sound of the punched kid’s whaling.

Eyes widening in surprise, the lil’ shark hybrid stared at your back, gawking in surprise at your actions, unable to say anything. You then turned and looked at him with your hands on your hips, a big grin on your face with a few teeth missing as you proudly announced, “Don’t chu worry, Eijirou! I’ll protect ya from now on, and we can be best friends!”

“Y-N L-N!!!” A teacher shouted from nearby, you stood up straight and then looked to the voice before flashing another smile Eijirou’s way, “If any of those dumb dumbs mess with you again you can just tell me, ‘kay? Buh-bye!”

The memory always brought a smile to his face. It been two decades since then but he can still remember it so vividly. You’d kept your word ever since then and the two of you had been inseparable ever since. You both had went through life together side by side, dealing with hardships and struggles to the best of your abilities.

However, the life of a hybrid in a mostly human society always had its drawbacks. And being the kind of hybrid he was you could expect nothing less.

Eijiro Kirishima. Red spikey hair, sharp pointy teeth, standing at roughly 213 centimeters or nearly seven feet tall, and to top it off he was a Great White Shark hybrid, a top predator. Tall and muscular. A feared water animal that was given a bad name because of some whimsical humans that couldn’t stop themselves from exploring where they shouldn’t have been.

Not only was he pre-disposed to the stereotypes and stupidity of society when it came to dealing with hybrids, he also had to deal with the stares and frightened shuffles people did when they wanted to distance themselves away from him on the street. It was a constant reminder that he wasn’t normal, wasn’t accepted. It hurt but he kept his smile, he had to, he needed to, he had to be strong for himself and for his friends, for his family… for you.

“I’m just here to pick up my partner, sir. I don’t want any trouble,” Eijirou said to the security guard while raising his hands up in a surrendering motion, trying to make himself seem like less of a threat, “Her name’s Y/N and she works on the sixth floor. I always come and pick her u-“

“Listen, buddy. I don’t care if your girlfriend is the CEO of the company, I can’t let you in if you’re not an employee and have no proper form of ID,” the man basically growled, glaring at the hybrid with malice and disgust in his voice, “So, leave. Wait for her somewhere else.”

Crack.

Stiffening, the redhead’s shoulders had tensed and his fists clenched, trying to stop his growing anger. Stay calm, Kiri. Stay calm. Shitheads like this guy are on every corner, you need to relax. Don’t make a scene.

Stiffening, the redhead’s shoulders had tensed and his fists clenched, trying to stop his growing anger. Stay calm, Kiri. Stay calm. Shitheads like this guy are on every corner, you need to relax. Don’t make a scene.

“If you heard what I said then you need to leave,” the man spat, his voice only growing harsher, “Or are you hard of hearing, toothy bastard?”

Crack.

Parting his lips to speak, he’s cut off by the sound an elevator nearby and then a familiar scent that immediately calms him down.

“Eiji! What the hell’s taking you so long? You always pick me up!” You said to him like you’d been offended, waltzing towards him quite quickly, going to grab his hand and frown at him.

“M’sorry, lil’ gem. This guy was givin’ me a tough time,” he muttered in his defense, using his free hand to rub the back of his neck. You look mildly confused at his words and then your eyes flicker over to the security guard who’s watching the two of you from behind the front desk.

“Oi, are you new here? Where’s Mojo Jojo?” You question, confused by the new face as you squint, “I already don’t like the vibe you’re putting off.”

The guard sputters over his words and then finally manages to say something coherent, “I am new here. And you should learn how to keep your damn hybrid on a leash. Giant pets like this big oaf shouldn’t just be allowed to wander around without supervision, he could bite someone. What if he’s got rabies?”

Eijiro immediately straightens up, used to the harsh words but he knows what’s about to go down especially from the way you’re suddenly gripping onto his hand.

“Listen here you stupid ugly rent-a-cop son of a bitch, you’re lucky you’re behind that motherfucking desk or I would have kicked your dick in so far that you’d end up with a fucking VAGINA,” you barked at him and were about to lunge over the desk but was easily stopped by your beloved boyfriend who began tugging you away towards the exit of the building. That didn’t stop you from glaring over your shoulder at the man, mouthing despicable words to him that could surely make anyone’s skin crawl.

Once outside of the building, Eijiro continued to tug you along to where the public parking garage was across the street.

“Why didn’t let me kick his ass, Eiji? He fucking deserved it! Idiots like that deserve to get their balls ripped off so that they don’t produce anymore close-minded spawn,” you angrily ramble but don’t pull away from his tugging, following behind him as you attempted to keep up with his pace, “And slow down a little, don’t forget that you’re at least a two heads taller than me.”

Quickly mumbling an apology, he slowed his pace down so that the both of you could walk at the same speed before he replied, “I don’t want you loosin’ your job ‘cause of me. Plus, that guy’s not worth it. Thank you for stickin’ up f’me though. You never fail to do that.” He laughed sheepishly at the thought of your fierce state that never seemed to back down from a fight, “But, sometimes, you can’t always throw fists first and ask questions later. We’ve gotta work on controlling your temper.”

“What?!” You couldn’t believe your ears, stopping in your tracks to stand and stare at him which made him stop as well but he didn’t turn to look at you. “Do you even hear yourself? C’mon, Eiji! You can’t just let people walk all over you like that! You’re a human being too! You need to stick up for yours-“

“Just stop it, Y/N. Stop it,” he said, his voice raising ever so slightly with a bit of a crack at the end of his sentence, “I don’t care what other people say, okay?! Yeah, it hurts but what the hell am I supposed to do about it? Become the monster they already think I am? Hit people and call them names like you do?! I’m not like you! I can’t do that! I’m not a full person, okay?! Do you know what they’d do ta’me if I did what you did? Euthanize me! Kill me! Or worse, they’d take me away from you and lock me up in some fucking facility for dangerous animals.” He rips his hand away from you after that and then clenches his fist before making a sound of frustration, “You should head home. I’m gonna— take a walk.” Before you can reply or even fully process his words, you’re met with Eijiro’s retreating back, your heart beginning to throb in the worse way possible.

Yandere BakuDeku x Reader | Bad Boss

You were back to crying in the cupboards again. Izuku used his house key to get in loads of times before finding you in this exact position.

“(Y/n)-chan?”

He was trying not to startle you by just sitting outside the cupboard. He knew, like always, this was something that would take time and was inevitable with all your stress.

Never before had he witnessed the results of such a two-faced production. Working as a server at a high-end host club and diner was on paper the perfect job: good pay, flexible hours, tips from rich customers. But behind closed doors if you weren’t selling your company, the boss treated you like dirt. Dirt that somehow would offend him by not looking him in his eyes. The next day you’d offend him by looking in his eyes and the next day it’d be not showing enough skin. It was always something; he was never fully satisfied or pleased. He attacked without rhyme or reason, as you had reported to him, everyone was subject to attack; just recently it's only been you.

“I brought (f/s) if you want…”

The slow opening of the cupboard door revealed your (s/t) hand palm open in waiting for your treat. After retreating back into the dark depths of your hidey hole the door was held open by that scarred hand. He reached inside and grabbed your hand. You both didn’t speak. You didn’t need to. Everything that wanted to be said had already been said. And all the routes you both agreed on weren’t getting anywhere. All you could do was tighten your grip on him as if he were your life line. Your confidant. One of your best friends. The only person who helped and respected you knowing the way you were.

—-----------

When Izuku returned home, he stayed at the door drawing in a big breath before walking in. It was hard not to tell his beloved Kacchan what was going on with you. He wasn’t lying but he was just keeping it away from him. It was so un-hero-like! Even with his quirk he couldn’t keep that away from him that long; his boyfriend knew him like the back of his hand. So it was a miracle in and of itself that he hadn’t figured you both out by now.

Per your request he hadn’t told his explosive boyfriend, but it was getting so hard not to. At first he tried to publicly expose your manager but as quickly as the heat came it died right back down. Then he tried using his leverage as a hero to fearmonger you and your co worker’s safety but even that proved fruitless when your boss just kept avoiding him and putting him in situations where he was the bad guy. Somehow your boss had gotten into the good graces of the paparazzi, always out-printing his dirt for a benevolent and honorable story.

When he walked into their typical home he expected to see Kacchan in the kitchen cooking dinner or cleaning up not looking incredibly pissed at the door. The confronting stance of his boyfriend rather than intimidate was quite familiar. And just the cutest thing. Closing the door he opened his arms to hug the angry pomeranian and it seemed that said pomeranian was willing to return the hug. “Why.” Squeeze “Did.” Squeeze “You.” Squeeze “NOT TELL ME ABOUT THEIR #$%@y^%^ BOSS!”

Izuku fell limp in his boyfriend’s arms who only relinquished enough for him to breathe. When he looked into the crimson eyes of his Kacchan the guilt weighed even heavier. His eyes were getting hard to look out of.

“They asked me not to…I’m sorry”

The waterworks were going and Katsuki’s anger was subsiding. As much as he liked looking down on his partner while he was crying he didn’t like that he kept something so big from him, especially since it involved your safety.

“Fine, fine. Stupid Deku. Stop crying. You just need to tell me what happens with (Y/n).” His Deku only nodded while trying to wipe away his tears.

“So what did you do? Or did you listen to their bad advice again and do nothing?”

“N–no I tried to expose him…”

“...well obviously that wouldn’t work. You need to be more final when dealing with scum like him.”

“Like threatening to sue?”

“No, like actually killing him.”

“...”

“...”

“Y–you mean like death? Like unaliving him?”

“Yes.”

The tears were back. “B–but that's not what heroes do! Kacchan we can’t do that!”

“‘We’ don’t have to. I’ll do it.”

“N–no Kacchan I can’t–Ow!”

He felt a sting of pain on his arm. He turned to look for the damage but was stopped by his boyfriend’s hold on his chin. Those deceptive piercing eyes were locked onto him as he started seeing blackspots.

“Don’t worry Deku. I’ll take care of (Y/n) just like I took care of you.” His voice was fading in and out now. But as he slipped into sleep he swore he heard the gruff mumbling of “my Deku” reverberating in his ear as he was engulfed in wooly warmth.

—

You had kept inside the cupboard for nearly two days, only coming out to call in sick and to eat tiny tidbits of the food Izuku had prepared for you. It didn’t help your anxious fingers from nervously grazing along your form when the knocking followed the ring of your door. You were almost sure it was him, coming to collect your debt! You were safe! You were safe! Safe inside your cupboard where he couldn’t touch, hit, squeeze, or insult you. You felt safe before the lock of the door clicked and it was undone.

You were completely starstricken; it was only seconds ago you joked about your boss coming to get you. Who else would come into your home with a key stomping so violently?! You heard their boots stamping past your cupboard and into your bedroom.

Should I move?

You reached your hand out for the inside handle of your cupboard thinking a mad dash to the door would be your best move. The cupboard door swung open and a muscular arm reached in, grabbing the front of your shirt and yanking you out.

“AAAaaaaaAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa”

“STOP SCREAMING CUTE FACE!”

“Kacchan it's you! How–why are you here?”

“I know about your #%%&-boss, nerd.”

“He Told You!?”

“No. He tried so hard to keep it from me he passed out. You happy?”

“I didn’t mean to mess with your relationship or make him upset, I just didn’t want to be a bothe-”

“You didn't want to be a bother? Well do you see what happens when you don’t tell me things. You're having panic attacks in a cupboard, Deku has no idea what to do, and I still found out anyway. See what happens when you try to do this on your own?”

You looked down at your feet, in shame. I didn’t mean to cause this much trouble.

“What–should I do then?”

“Trust in me. Us. Me and Deku love you and we’ll always know what's best for you.” His giant hands held your cheeks to tilt your head to look up to him. “Together we will always take care of you and dispose of the ones that disrespect you. So (Y/n) will you trust us? Trust me?”

“...yes..I trust you.”

+ You wave up in an unfamiliar place with no clue now you got there. One minute you were on a mission with your fiance Shoto the next you were here. You're held captiveby a man who believes he rules your life and there's nothing you can do to stop him. Your only hope is that Shoto finds a way to find you.

The first thing I noticed when I woke up was that I was sick to my stomach. I gasped and turned over slightly but it caused my stomach to twist. I whined clutching my stomach. I felt a hand start to rub circles on my back. They sat down next to me and I felt them tap me with something plastic. I looked up and saw a plastic bin and my stomach completely turned.

"Ugh." I groaned as the contents of my stomach forced their way up. I snatched the pin and puked.

"That's it. It's alright. The drugs usually have this type of effect." An unfamiliar voice comforted me. A chill went up my spine accompanied with a feeling of something being very wrong. Once I was finally able to look up, I saw a man sitting next to me. One I didn't recognize,

"Who are you?" I asked. The smile he gave me was meant to be kind but it just made my skin crawl. He took the bin from me.

"Just someone who cares for you." He got up and walked through the room, setting the bin just inside a doorway.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked. I tried to remember anything to explain why I'm here but came up blank. "Why can't I remember what happened?"

"Well the drugs could have a hand with that as well." He came up and felt my forehead. "I did give you a rather large dose to make sure I got you out of there."

"Drugs? That's the second time you've..." I reached up to push his hand away but froze when the rattle of a chain caught my attention. I saw a shackle and chain connected to my wrist. "What? What the hell is this?" I demanded.

"How else am I going to keep you here until you realize this is where you need to be?" He said nonchalantly. He walked towards the same door. "It's not like you could get that far anyway." He left the room.

"What?" I followed the long chain to the bedpost. The bad feeling only got worse as I looked around. There was a mirror in the room and I saw I was dressed in designer pajamas.

Panic began to set in and I ran to the window. I ripped open the curtains and saw bars. Just beyond those bars was nothing but a shoreline and ocean. I backed away and looked around again.

"I need to get out of here." I tried to use my quirk to cut through the chain. Nothing happened. I tried and tried again but nothing. "What?"

I looked in the mirror again and saw the thing that was around my neck. I groaned when I realized it was a quirk cancelling collar. I darted for the door the man left through only to be stopped short about a foot from the door. The chain only let me go that far.

"How did I let myself..." I finally remembered what happened. Shoto, Tokoyami, and I had been leading a raid on a mafia ring when the building collapsed. I had been knocked around but relatively unhurt. I had gone to find Shoto when there was a small prick on the back of my neck and black.

I sat on the bed, trying to figure out what to do. I couldn't use my quirk, I have no idea where I even am, no clue how dangerous that guy is, and I could still feel some of whatever the drugs were in my system. I brought my knees up to my chest and tried to keep calm.

It was a couple hours before he came back up. I had moved to sit against the headboard so he couldn't get behind me. He walked in with a plate of food and a bag of clothes.

"You're nuts if you think I'm going to eat anything you bring me." I said. He paused before setting down the plate on the dresser. He smiled at me.

"You'll learn to trust me soon enough." He smirked. "You'll see that I can be and give you everything you want. All you have to do is behave for me."

"Not likely." I stood up. "You're kidnapped me and you think I'll come to trust you? Seriously? What made you think it was a good idea to kidnap a Pro in the first place? Especially one whose significant other is one of the top three. You expect me to 'behave' for you?" I saw him tense at the mention of Shoto. I read his body language and could see he was trying to keep himself calm.

"Be careful, love."

"Love? I am not, nor will ever be that to you. Is that why you took me? Because you want me as your lover?" I asked in disbelief. "I am engaged to Shoto and he will find me..."

"No!" He shot forward and grabbed me by the back of the head by my hair. I gasped in pain as he lifted me slightly. "You are not! You are mine and forever will be. You just have to realize how much better I am next to that emotionless bastard. You will see. And careful about acting up LOVE, I may have to punish you." He dropped me and I collapsed to the floor. I held the back of my head and glared at him. 

"You're psycho." I mumbled. He walked to the door.

"If he ever comes near you again, I'll kill him." He threatened before slamming the door behind him.

"Shit." I said under my breath.

Days passed and I did everything I could to escape. Everything I tried ended in the man, which I learned was named Kai, catching me. He followed through with his punishment threat. No matter how much I fought back, no matter what I did, this man had me trapped and could do whatever he wanted with me.

I was heaving on the floor as he walked to the bathroom. I had made another unsuccessful escape attempt and he beat my mistake into me. I wiped the blood from my lip as he came back. I saw him reach for me and I flinched back.

"Now, now. Let me clean you up sweetheart." There was a threat behind his sweet tone. I let him take my face and dab the warm wash cloth. I flinched at the pressure he applied. "Have you learned your lesson yet, my love?"

"Yes." I said, giving in. He had effectively made me scared of him. If it was a normal villain, it would not have happened so quickly or at all. He knew me so well though that it took him no time.

"Good. Remember, there is no one in this whole world that knows you better than I do." I nodded. I yelped as he picked me up and carried me to the bed. "Now get some rest. I'll bring you some painkillers and food. Okay?" In the short time I have been here, I found out he has been watching me since UA. Finding out every little thing he could about me. He called himself my "True Love" and proceeded to tell me about the life we were going to have together in the house he specifically built for me.

"Okay." I whispered. He placed a kiss on my lips and left. After he returned and I ate, he gave me the meds and I was out not much later.

~

I was numb from then on, nearly forgetting about the outside world after giving up. Silent tears cascaded down my face every now and again. Kai would just wipe them away. One day, Kai left me outside on the patio while he went to make lunch. 

"Huh?" I looked over at the tree line after hearing some rustling. I walked over and inspected the area. I -found nothing and turned to go back to my seat. I was grabbed from behind and pulled back. I tried to scream but a hand was placed on my mouth.

"Sh, it's just me, my snowflake." A familiar cool voice said into my car. I stilled and turned to look back at the bi-color haired man. Emotions flooded my senses.

"Shoto?" I cried and wrapped my arms around him. He did the same to me, holding me where there was no space left between us. I could feel his hands clutching at my back.

"Yes, my love. I'm here." I pulled away and kissed him hard. He kissed back with the same emotion before pulling away. "We need to go."

"Please." I pleaded. He guided us away from the house before running once far enough.

"There's a boat to get us out of here in a come not far from here." He told me. Our path was cut off by a shower of projectile Ninja stars. Sho pushed me behind him before shielding with an ice wall.

"I thought you learned your lesson." I heard Kai yell. I whimpered and hid in Sho's back. In the path in front of us stood Kai, armed with ninja stars in each hand.

"He has the ability to create ninja stars from his body and he can make them explosive, acidic, and I'm not sure what else."

"Alright." He whispered back.

"Love..." My eyes darted towards Kai. "What did I tell you about him?" He walked closer. "I told you if he ever came near you again I would kill him." He threw a handful of stars. Shoto pulled us to the side to dodge. He set me behind a tree and took off. I watched as they fought. Ice, fire, and metal clashed. I felt so useless not being able to fight like my normal self.

"I'm finished with you." I heard Kai yell. I saw Kai ready himself again. Shoto was on one knee, not noticing.

"Shoto!" I screamed. He looked up at me before creating a small ice wall just as an explosive star hit. Shoto was blown back into a tree, dazed.

"Now, time to throw out the trash." Kai looked me in the eye. "I'll get to you in a moment." He conjured one last star in his hand. I looked back at Sho and he was still dazed.

"No!" I screamed as Kai threw it. I jumped out in front of Shoto.

"No!"

"Y/N!" I was hit with the star just as Shoto made an ice shield. He caught me and carefully laid me down.

"Sh-shoto." I whimpered. He caressed the side of my face, hands shaking. I saw panic on his face.

"It'll be alright. You'll be alright." He tried to assure me.

"You little brat. We'll have to have another lesson, won't we?" I saw the panic Morph into pure rage. Shoto looked towards Kai and his left side started to flame up. He looked down at me for a moment.

"I'll be right back. You're going to be alright and I'm going to take you home. I love you."

"I love you too." He kissed my head and was gone in a swell of flames. I blacked out before he came back. 

The sound of beeping and murmuring was the first two things that registered when I came to. I tried to move but a sharp pain exploded in my side. I gasped and went to reach for it but my wrist was grabbed gently. I opened my eyes and saw Izuku.

"Y/N-chan." His voice and eyes were filled with relief.

"Izu...Where am I?" I get a hand on my head. The image of Kai & Shoto fighting flashed through my mind. "Shoto! Kai!"

"Hey, hey. Calm down, please. You're safe." He soothed, running a hand over my hair. "Roki-kun is safe and Kai is behind bars." I calmed down but tears came to my eyes. I covered my face.

"Where is Sho?" My voice cracked.

"I'll go get him." I heard him rush off. The beeping was the only sound until I heard someone bounding toward me. I felt dual temperature hands gently pry my fingers from my face. My gaze met the heterochromic one that I love so much.

"Shoto!" I whimpered.

"Baby." He helped me sit up and held me to his chest. I wailed into his shoulder as he tried to sooth me. I could feel his breathing become unsteady and felt him kiss my head.

"What did he do to you..." I heard him whisper into my hair. I don't know how long cried but by the time I calmed down and pulled away, there was a decent wet spot on his shirt.

"Sorry." I took a breath and giggled a little. He cupped my cheeks and wiped tears away. I felt completely safe for the first time since the day I was taken.

"It's okay, love." He reached next to him and offered me a tissue. I blew my nose and cleaned myself up.

"He's gone?" I asked hesitantly. He nodded quickly.

"Yes, he's gone. He's been put away where he'll never be able to hurt you again. I won't let it happen." I saw the familiar determination and strength wash over his face.

"I know you won't." I cupped his face and pulled him into a kiss. We kissed softly, just reveling in each other's presence after so long of being apart. "I missed being in your arms."

"I missed having you here." We sat in silence until someone cleared their throat. I looked up to see the doctor.

"Just came to give you a check up and check your wound."

"Alright." Shoto stood up. A quick panic washed over me and I grabbed his wrist. "I'm not going anywhere I promise." He sat down in a chair as the doctor began the check up.

~

"Ah! No!" I screamed shooting up in bed. I tried to jump out of bed but my legs got twisted up in the blankets and sheets. I hit the ground in a pained heap. I let out a pained yelp.

"Shit, Y/N?" I heard Shoto. I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked up and saw Sho. "Are you alright?"

"My side." I whimpered.

"Okay, let's get up and I'll check it." He freed my legs and gently picked me up. I steadied my breathing as he checked my stitches. "Another nightmare?"

"Yes, I'm sorry." I said. He looked up at me confused. "I know I'm safe at home with you but I can't help but feel like this. Scared, panicky, and weak! I'm sorry!"

"Hey. No need to apologize, love. You went through something that was traumatizing and have every right to feel the way you do." He cupped my face. "I know it doesn't seem like it now but in time, you'll be alright. I'll be right by your side the entire time, no matter how long it takes. Alright?" I nodded and he leant up, kissing the tears away. He wrangled us back into bed and I felt it get warmer under the sheets. I smiled, snuggling in. A thought came to mind causing me to chuckle. "What's funny, Love?"

"He called you're an emotionless bastard." He made a bitch face, causing me to laugh more. "He was definitely wrong."

Bakudeku Spiderman AU

Okay, you guys caused this! Spiderman is my favorite superhero and all the Deku fanart as Spiderman and interacting with Bakugou I've been seeing is the best?!? Like?!? I love it? So here, have a tiny thing I wrote for them:

Izuku hid his identity as Spiderman successfully for longer than he thought possible. Everyone was safer without knowing who he was and what he did. People close to heroes were in bigger danger, he was aware of that and he wouldn't jeopardize his loved ones' safety just to get the weight off his chest.

Then Kacchan got hurt, and it didn't matter anymore.

He cradled his unconscious body, tears blurring his vision but he couldn't do anything to wipe them.

"Kacchan! Kacchan!" He was frantic, only letting go of him to rip off his gloves, needing to touch skin directly. He passed an arm behind his back and lifted his body. Kacchan was half seated while Izuku kneeled by his side. "Hey, you're fine, wake up, Kacchan, please!" His fingers found the wound by the side of his head, and they came back wet with blood. "Come on, come on, Kacchan, wake up, scream at me, anything." He whimpered.

Izuku had watched him get hit with a piece of falling debris from the destruction that came with almost every one of his fights. Instead of running away, Kacchan had been helping people escape between the abandoned cars clogging the street, and then something hit his head and he stumbled over the edge of the crumbling bridge, face blank.

Izuku had never reacted faster in his life. 

He trapped the villain in a ridiculous amount of webs, and jumped after Kacchan. 

He shot two webs in quick succession. One connected with his chest, and Izuku pulled hard, their bodies clashing. He held Kacchan against him with all his strength as the other web found what remained of the bridge, and they swung from it, landing a little rocky but Izuku didn't falter.

"Please, open your eyes," his scarred fingers shook too much to check for a pulse, and he was about to swing to the nearest hospital when Kacchan woke up.

"Agh, shit, my head," he groaned, blinking blearily at him. "What the Hell happened? Why were you screaming so fucking loud? Some hero you are, screeching like that." 

With each word, even the curses and insults, maybe especially because of them, Izuku's heart started beating again.

"Oh thank God!" Izuku gasped in relief, hugging him tightly. "Don't ever scare me like that again, Kacchan," he begged, his hand cupping the back of his head and his face nuzzling in the crook of his neck.

"The fuck you just called me?" Kacchan was stiff in his arms.

Izuku should have lied, pretend he said nothing and let Kacchan think he had hallucinated. 

He didn't. 

His defenses were down, the relief and sheer happiness of having Kacchan awake in his arms trampled all his reserves to dust. Besides, how on Earth would Spiderman explain why he was clinging to him like that?

So he leaned back without releasing his hold, and whispered:

"I called you Kacchan."

The hands traveling from his shoulders to the base of his neck were shaky and yet certain. Kacchan slipped his fingers underneath the hem of his mask and Izuku didn't break eye contact, even as the sturdy spandex that guarded his identity was pulled up and off his face completely.

He saw his childhood friend without the net covering his eyes. The way the red eyes widened would have been funny if not for the entire situation.

He mustered a wan smile.

"Hey, Kacchan, there's something you should know-"

"You got to be fucking kidding me," he cut him off. "Are you for real, Deku?! For fuck's sake, I want to pass out again," he groaned, smacking Izuku with the mask.

He couldn't help it; Izuku giggled.

He brought Kacchan back for a hug and this time, his childhood friend hugged him back just as hard.

Izuku didn't find a trace of regret in his heart. Kacchan was supposed to know.

No harm would come to him, Izuku was going to protect him with his life.

This is what fanarts causes, people!

Bakudeku A/B/O Prompt, soft, fantasy AU NSFW @bkdkkinktober

As soon as the omegan slave was pulled around the corner, Katsuki knew that was the one he wanted. The lithe little green-headed male being dragged onto the stage had the most alluring scent the alpha had ever smelled— A surge of anger washed over him that this beautiful omega was being treated in such a degrading manner. Disheveled rags adorning its body, and it was clear they weren’t feeding him enough. He had to have him, or there’d be hell to pay! Katsuki let out the loudest reverberating growl to silence the other alphas in the room, and once they’d moved out of his way, he sauntered up to the stage, crooning in softer tones to soothe this raggedly clad welp of a creature.

The omega answered— whimpered, purred, and twisted in his chains for Katsuki. The alphas song called to him in a way no other had before— Someone to care for him, who wanted him, wooing him in a mating call that brought a sense of peace and safety to his meager existence. And Katsuki was a prime example of an alpha of the rarest kind. His prayers had finally been answered.

Katsuki preened at the omegas acceptance and tossed a satchel of gold to the slaver. “NOW GET HIM OUT OF THOSE CHAINS!” He demanded with a growl that promised pain if not catered to.

Once free of his bindings, the omega ran into the waiting arms of his new alpha, mewling and purring with moisture pooling in his emerald eyes. Katsuki scooped up the welp and cradled him close as they left the building, returning soothing pheromones that spoke of a better life to come. The omega cuddled to his alphas chest and wrapped his arms around his neck, closing his eyes and sighing happily.

“Tell me your name,” Katsuki gently commanded.

The omega paused, flinched as if not sure how to respond correctly, too broken by the slaver’s harsh treatment. It pulled at Katsuki’s soul.

“It’s okay,” Katsuki released a stronger pheromone to calm the omega further. “You can speak. No one will hurt you ever again.” It pained the alpha at how light the man was in his arms.

In a soft tone, the omega finally answered. “Izuku.”

Katsuki grunted his approval. “I am Katsuki of the Bakugou tribe.”

“Ka… Kat… Kacchan…”

The alpha chuckled. “I’ll allow that name.”

It took two days of heavy riding on horseback to reach Katsuki’s home at the base of a mountain. The village itself was moderately sized, and most of the men and women bred of hearty stock, so Izuku was different. But the alpha didn’t care. He wanted a mate that would stir his loins and hold his attention forever, which Izuku’s scent promised both.

“You’ll give me such beautiful pups,” Katsuki cooed to his emerald-eyed omega as they cuddled in their new nest. “But after I put some meat back on your bones first.” Izuku was very thin with barely any padding on his body, lacking the breadth of childbearing hips believed to ensure a successful litter. He was certain that once brought back to full vigor, this omega would do just nicely considering a simple bath and proper clothing had already done wonders.

The omega whimpered, embarrassed from his frail state. “Sorry, I’m not ready for you.”

“Don’t,” Katsuki responded softly. “It’s not your fault.” If it was anyone’s fault it was the slavers. “Tell me, how did they take you?”

Again, Izuku whined with distressed undertones leaching in. “They stole me from my home two years ago— said I was too beautiful to pass up… but no one wanted me o-or liked how I smell, so they beat and starved me…”

The waves of sorrow mixed into the omegas scent caused Katsuki to growl low and pull Izuku tightly against his body. “I’m so sorry they did that to you. But that’s over now. You’re mine now.”

“I just hope my mother is okay,” Izuku sighed and curled against the man’s chest.

“Tell me the village, and I will send for her.”

Izuku raised up in surprise, his teary eyes glistening with hope. “Y-You’d do that for me, Kacchan?”

“Of course,” Katsuki smiled, cupped, and smoothed his thumb over his mate’s cheek. “It would be good for you to have her here during your whelping.”

“Thank you!” The omega threw himself back onto the alpha, kissing him all over his face. “You make me so happy Kacchan!”

A low, rumbling vibrato emanated from Katsuki in pride to have such a contented mate. He never understood why many alphas treated their omegas like slaves. To him, they were an important part of the pride— nay more important than alphas because without them, lineages would die. “Mmm,” he crooned against the scent gland at the base of Izuku’s neck, giving a few licks and nips to bloom its scent. Kissing lightly along his neck, between each word. “You make me very, very happy too, mouse.”

“Kacchan…” Izuku purred as the alpha wrapped his arms around and maneuvered him beneath into the downy bedding. Katsuki’s large frame engulfed his smaller body, but the male was careful never to suffocate or crush. It wasn’t their first time… and while he still couldn’t handle the alphas knot, they made do with Katsuki’s seemingly endless stamina. Who knew the brawny male could be so tender, with gentle guiding and long, slow strokes of his cock while smothering with kisses. The alpha explored and pampered Izuku, paying attention to every little detail— overstimulating his body and mind until all he could do was writhe in ecstasy.

With each day that passed, Izuku’s strength grew, and his body slowly began to look healthier. While Katsuki dealt with other matters, he focused on being a good housemate, cleaning and tending to a garden, cooking, sewing, or doing whatever was necessary. Those lonely, tortured years quickly melted away from the loving support his alpha provided, so Izuku wanted to do everything he could to return that love— most of all, starting the family they both desired. Days turned into weeks, and soon enough, Izuku could preen with pride at the hourglass curves in his reflection.

“Mmm,” Katsuki placed his hands on his mate’s new voluptuous hips when he caught him looking into the mirror. “I knew I was right about you,” he patted the omegas back side. “Filled in nicely.”

Izuku giggled and spun around in the alphas grasp, throwing his arms around Katsuki’s neck, to which the alpha responded and picked him up. “I feel like my old self again,” he beamed and purred against the larger male’s chest, burrowing his nose in his mate’s scent gland. “All thanks to you, Kacchan.”

Katsuki crooned back with a heady low growl, taking in the omegas heightened scent of arousal. “Looks like it’s time I put some pups in ya, whatd’ya say?”

“Yes…” Izuku purred.

The alpha placed the omega gently into the nest, giving him time to settle into the soft bedding. As Katsuki stripped away his clothing, Izuku too removed his dressings along with the pins holding down his wavy shoulder length hair, allowing it to fan out over the pillow. His fair skin glowed from the sunlight and contrasted against the darker hues of the nest, with the only other coloring a thatch of green between his legs, loosely spread and ready.

“So beautiful…” Katsuki crooned at the sight as he gently lowered himself over the omega and nestled himself between the man’s thighs. “Smell so good too…” the omegas bloom ripening and mixing with his own like an earthy garden of their very own. A hand settled on one hip to control, while the other reached up to caress and stroke Izuku’s cheek, lovingly thumbing the smooth skin as he coveted his lips.

Izuku wove his hands into the alpha’s hair, threading through with gentle glides as he mewled and purred in a show of affectionate appreciation. Their bodies slowly wound and ground, rubbing against each other’s to kick up their release of pheromones into the room, and heightening the euphoric sensation it brought a mating pair. The slick building between the omega’s legs beckoned for use, but Katsuki was always invested in pampering his mate first. “Kacchan…” the name moaned out from the licks and suckling the alpha placed all around the omegas neck and upper body, teasing his sensitive nipples and sending his mind reeling. His biological clock was ticking, knowing its time had come, and while Izuku appreciated the care, he’d waited so long for this moment that all his mind and body wanted was the fulfilling consummation. So, the omega ground his hips and cinched his legs, rubbing against the alpha to release the ache of his heat and firmly present his desire.

Katsuki chuckled at Izuku’s impatience, but obliged, shifting their bodies to slip between the folds until he could go no further. The snug fit brought a purr from the omega and a wave of pride for the alpha. “So, perfect…” he crooned while coveting his mate’s lips and rocking his hips in a slow piston motion to savor the fulfilling heat levied on his cock. In and out, Katsuki thrust as their bodies writhed against and moved in time with each other’s. Izuku followed, back flexing and arching, his hips shifting to ensure the deepest reaches, all the while mewling and pawing at his alpha in wild delight.

“Faster, Kacchan,” the omega whimpered as the pressure of his alphas inflating knot pressed into his heated channel. Izuku knew his mate was close— so was he.

“It… doesn’t hurt, right?” Katsuki panted out to make sure.

“No…” Izuku groaned. His body was ready.

His rutting scent mixed with Izuku’s heat grew stronger by the second, even his fangs elongated in preparation. So, Katsuki gripped down and held firmly to his omegas hip points and increased the pace of his thrusts for a few more reps until the knot forced him to concede and bite down onto Izuku’s mark with a reverberating growl. Katsuki’s body shook lightly as his seed emptied into his mate, his hips jerkily grinding to milk every bit of his cock. The long-awaited release was everything his alpha heart could have hoped for.

Izuku whimpered and moaned from all the stimulation levied on his body. His mates bite further released a strong, soothing pheromone to relax him so the alphas seed would take stronger root. Once Katsuki released his bite, he wrapped his arms around his mate and buried his face in the alphas neck, purring with content at the prospect of starting a family. “I love you so much, Kacchan.”

“I love you too, mouse.”

BnHA Chapter 299: No Chains Left

Previously on BnHA: Horikoshi was all “and then AFO broke out all of the inmates from six other prisons and took a nap. well anyways, here’s the hospital angst.” Kacchan woke up two days later and was all, “WAIT BUT HOW ARE DEKU AND TODOROKI AND ALL OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS EXCEPT IIDA DOING” and then we cut to Shouto’s room where the other U.A. kids were sitting around being Mutually Traumatized and giving each other moral support and such. Everyone was alll, “...”, and then the rest of the Todofam showed up, INCLUDING POSSIBLY REI?! which, omg. The chapter ended with Kacchan STOMPING THROUGH THE HALLS all “WHADDYA MEAN DEKU HASN’T WOKEN UP YET”, dragging along Satou and Mineta behind him, fueled by the power of ALL OF THE FUCKS HE NOW GIVES. He gives so many fucks now you guys. This boy cares so much he can probably deduct it on his taxes.

Today on BnHA: SPEAKING OF PEOPLE WHO GIVE A LOT OF FUCKS, the story cuts abruptly to Hawks, freshly recovering from his near-death experience, and pondering the threads that have weaved the tapestry of his life and led him to this moment. Basically he grew up in poverty with his Jerk Dad and Jerk Mom until his dad got arrested one day and his mom sent him off to go Find Money Or Something, and so he rescued a busload of people and found himself a new career. Back in the present day, Hawks and Jeanist ride around town in Jeanist’s Jamborghini having awkward encounters with civilians in a country on the brink of social collapse, and visiting Hawks’s mother’s home. Hawks is all “I know from an outsider’s perspective it must look like my life currently sucks, but now that the HPSC is gone, my public image is shot, and my parents are finally out of my life, I’m actually feeling SURPRISINGLY GOOD.” Anyway so he’s gonna go meet up with Endeavor now, and p.s. this chapter was fucking fantastic though, damn.

oh my god?? is this Hawks narration?? something about him growing up watching the heroes on TV and thinking of them as fictional characters

okay I scrolled down a little bit more to see the rest of that “Keigo” panel, and wow

this is basically a shed. poor boy definitely grew up rough. let me tell you guys, I came in here ready for some BakuDeku shenanigans; I was not prepared for Hawks Flashback Angst. I AM HERE FOR IT, but also wow I gotta brace myself now lol

HELLO MISTER HAWKS’S JERK DAD, SIR

BnHA sure does have an array of Jerk Dads, doesn’t it. makes me appreciate characters like Masaru and JirouDad all the more for bucking the trend

anyway. so Horikoshi, you really thought that one itty bitty chapter of hospital catharsis would be enough to calm us all before you went right back to showing us child abuse huh. my god man can we rest

BABY HAWKS

swear to god this kid can’t be more than five or six, and yet he has this completely blank look on his face even with his dad looming over him being all threatening and shit. like he’s shut down his emotions to protect himself. imagine what has to happen to a child for him to have learned this at such a young age. fuck

AND MEANWHILE THIS GUY

don’t mingle with humans?? not “other” humans, just humans?? what is this implying here?? and also holy shit Hawks definitely didn’t inherit his looks from his dad orz

then again he doesn’t really bear much of a resemblance to his strung-out mom here either

omg omg omg. and this child is basically trapped here in this environment with these two people. this explains a SHITLOAD about Hawks’s personality though you guys. his ability to completely separate his real thoughts from the face he presents to the outside world. his pragmatic approach to analyzing and solving problems. his layers of emotional walls. turns out almost none of that came from the HPSC training -- that was all learned hands-on in his own personal do-or-die survival nightmare childhood!! oh, boy

and small wonder then that he latched on to Endeavor so strongly if he really is the one who brought down his dad and inadvertently saved him from this. also, just putting this out there, I know people are always talking about him and Dabi being foils, and I think it’s very interesting how Touya grew up in a household where he saw firsthand the dark side of hero society, and so ended up becoming a villain in order to bring it down. whereas young Keigo had almost the exact opposite experience, growing up experiencing the dark side of villain society and becoming a hero in order to bring about a world where no one else has to experience that. just. both of them are so determined not to become their fathers. some interesting parallels there

so Hawks was sort of an accident after his parents had “thanks for helping me not get caught after I killed that guy” sex, and now this little boy is growing up in squalor and being beaten by his father for things like Sitting In The Wrong Out-Of-The-Way Corner Trying Not To Be A Bother To Anybody. holy fuck. this is so rough to read through you guys

wait so does Jerk Dad have a an eyeball manipulation quirk?? because he doesn’t have the wings like his son, but wth are these things??

this presumably also means that Keigo has never been to school or anything either. he basically doesn’t exist. he thinks heroes are fictional characters, he doesn’t realize that they’re real people. these are people who could help him if he could escape and find them, but he doesn’t know, and they don’t know about him

OH MY GOD HE’S JUST SITTING IN HIS CORNER HUGGLING HIS ENDEAVOR PLUSH OH MY GOD

how could this child possibly have an anti-fandom when he’s done NOTHING WRONG HIS ENTIRE LIFE. huh. just explain that to me. lol I mean I’m not looking to pick a fight with anyone, but also, MAYBE I AM, idk?? this kid has gotten me all riled up lmao

anyways, Protect Keigo 2021, and thank you Horikoshi for these three very terrible pages. I am pleased to inform you that you’ve effectively gotten your point across and you may now commence saving this kid already

YAY

oh no, Keigo’s dumbass jerk dad tried to steal a car and the popo nabbed his ass and now his mom can’t just sit around neglecting her VERY YOUNG SON all day long, oh horrors. sorry lady my tiny violin is on backorder. just imagine that I’m playing a very sarcastic song on it for you

anyway so what are you gonna do now, abandon him? I can hardly imagine he’d be worse off, if anything it might be a near-instant improvement

LMAO HE’S ALL “WAIT WHAT ENDEAVOR’S A REAL FUCKING DUDE?!”

AND THEY SAY THAT A HERO CAN SAVE US~~~~ I’M NOT GONNA STAND HERE AND WAAAAAIT~~~~~ I’LL HOLD ONTO THE WINGS OF THE EAGLES, WATCH AS WE ALL FLY AWAAAAAAY~~~~

lol what a randomly pivotal moment in his young life. TIME TO GO MAKE THESE MEMES INTO DREAMS YOUNG ONE

anyway so his mom freaked out and grabbed him and they wound up at a train station with her TELLING HIM TO GO GET HER SOME MONEY, oh my god. SURE MOM LEMME JUST WALTZ RIGHT ON DOWN TO THE “JOBS FOR FIVE-YEAR-OLDS” STORE AND TELL THEM I NEED SOME CASH. ffff manifesting someone to come help him in 3... 2...

...

SIGH, JUST GO RESCUE THE PEOPLE FROM THE BUS, KEIGO. is this the outfit he was wearing when that happened?? it must be, right?? I can’t imagine them surviving more than a couple days out here unless this starts getting REALLY dark in a way I know that even Horikoshi won’t explore, so yeah. cut to the HPSC now please. never thought we’d be glad to see them. I mean sure, it may be an “out of the frying pan...” case, but good god

THANK YOU!!

and I guess it was his mom’s eyeball quirk then. anyway, whatever, see you again never, hopefully. lol oh man. thaaaat, was upsetting. need to center myself here for a sec. NAMASTE

OH YAY THE PRESENT

so we cut from Baby Hawks Angst straight to Present Day Hawks Angst, huh. not that this exhausted and traumatized lil lad isn’t still a baby to me too, I’ll have you know

BEST JEANIST, ALWAYS WITH THE JOKES

“WHEW, THOUGHT YOU DIED ON ME FOR A SEC THERE KID.” lmao. Caleb will no doubt ruin this by making his word choice all stiffly formal as usual, so I’m just going to treasure this “WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT, I’M FRESH OUT OF FUCKS” version of Jeanist while I can

look at him, driving his Jeanistmobile

again, is it any wonder Kacchan was bitching about Endeavor’s dinky little car when he was used to riding around town in style like this. anyone else staring at this panel trying to figure out how this car is somehow secretly made of jeans

NOOOOO

FUCK YOU DABI LMAO. PUTTING THESE VOICE ACTORS OUT OF A JOB ONE BY ONE

anyway so Jeanist is all “GOOD THING IT’S THE FUTURE AND WE’RE SO GOOD AT MEDICAL SCIENCE” to handwave how Hawks went from one step shy of being a very handsome corpse, to sitting around texting Jeanist in a car all of two days later

OH MY GOD, AND FINALLY AN EXPLANATION FOR THIS

wait a minute. I’m so confused lmfao. soooo, was Hawks all “anyway, here’s Jeanist’s dead body, you can examine it but please don’t look at him too closely and also I’m gonna need that back unharmed.” how tf did you pull that off lmao

(ETA: also isn’t this technically confirmation of the ol’ Noumu Jeanist theory lol. I’m gonna go ahead and say it is.)

NO BUT PLEASE, CONTINUE. I unironically love reading Horikoshi’s overly convoluted “SEE IT’S NOT A PLOT HOLE” explanations

lkldslfk so wait, you’re telling me Hawks convinced Dabi and the League to put Jeanist’s body in storage, and basically just hoped they wouldn’t use him for any experiments until he could put his plan into action and have the HPSC’s people break in and find and revive him?? WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG. A FOOLPROOF PLAN IF I’VE EVER HEARD ONE

fff this man really asked Jeanist to risk it all to prop up his little cover story, and Jeanist was all “sure why not” omfg. anyways, thanks for recapping all of this out loud for no particular reason in your car conversation you two

LMAO NOW WHAT

TROUBLE YOU SAY? GOOD THING THE NEW NUMBER ONE HERO IS ON THE JOB THEN

okay no it’s just some random thugs strolling around terrorizing the downtown. fuck ‘em. so Jeanist is making short work of them now

uh oh

won’t come? not can’t, but won’t?? what???

WOW

well I guess that makes the local heroes A BUNCH OF SHITHEADS now doesn’t it?? jesus

and okay, serious question, if the cops are spread too thin and the heroes have literally walked out on the job, what exactly is stopping everyone from deciding to use their quirks to defend themselves, legal or not? nothing, as far as I can tell. society just got a hell of a lot more chaotic

anyway so this is an interesting panel here

man, Dabi really did pull it off, didn’t he. well anyway so here’s that better world all of the villains were wanting, you guys! isn’t it so great?? everyone’s terrified and angry and losing hope and society is inches away from collapsing into total anarchy! but hey, at least we exposed the number one hero as a hypocrite

anyway so what are these guys up to

fucking hell, he’s visiting his mom. I really wasn’t prepared to commit this much emotional energy towards reading this chapter today. BUT VERY WELL, WE PRESS ON

?? wait she’s not there?

is this supposed to explain how Dabi knew who Hawks really was? except that there’s the little matter of how he even know where to find his mother in the first place. feels like we’re still missing something there, but oh well

OH MY GOD

RHA I TAKE BACK EVERY WORD I EVER SPOKE AGAINST YOU. YOU ARE A SCANLATION GROUP FILLED WITH ANGELS LMAO. I WILL TAKE THIS PANEL IN MY HANDS, AND TREASURE IT AND KEEP IT SAFE

ANYWAY, BECAUSE MY TIRED BIRD SON’S LIFE SUCKED SO MUCH ALREADY, IT TURNS OUT HE’S ACTUALLY PLEASED WITH THIS NEW TURN OF EVENTS LOL HOW ABOUT THAT

GOOD FOR YOU BBY. YOU GO OUT THERE AND BE YOUR OWN PERSON

and in all seriousness, I love that identity he chooses -- chooses, because it actually is him making a choice now, possibly for the very first time in his life -- is “guy who helps people”, though. it really is nothing short of miraculous that he held on to that kind of optimism and desire to do good even with everything he’s been through. there were so many times he could have chosen to turn his back on the world in retaliation for the way it treated him. but he didn’t!! and here he is now, finally free, and what he wants to do with the rest of his life now is simply to help others. anyway please excuse me for a moment, I need to go find some sort of basket or a big vase to put all of my fresh new Hawks Feels in, pardonne-moi

YEAH BOIIIIII

“FIRST ORDER OF BUSINESS, MISTER JEANIST, WHERE DID YOU FIND YOUSELF THAT SWEETASS CAR.” hey, all I’m saying is if this boy’s wings really aren’t growing back, he’s gonna need to find himself a new means of transportation y’know?

oh my god you guys it’s a flashback to his mom buying him the Endeavor plushie when he was like two because, and I quote, ALL MIGHT WAS TOO EXPENSIVE

oh my god oh my god. my boy out here with a new lease on life finding hope in the darkest of times

wasn’t your throat supposed to be all fucked up lmao. Horikoshi was suddenly all “oh shit the VAs are gonna be pissed at me if I keep this up huh”

“that’s why Bubaigawara was such a great guy” motherfucker IT IS A TERRIBLE DAY FOR RAIN. FORECAST SAID NOTHING ABOUT THIS

:’)

yes ma’am. yes indeed. confirmed, I really will straight up fight some motherfuckers for this child. well not really, but YOU KEEP YOUR DISCOURSE OFF MY LAWN AND OUT OF MY BLOG YOU HEAR. THIS IS A HAWKS-FRIENDLY SPACE. WE RESPECT TAKAMI KEIGO IN THESE STREETS

and he’s saying (or is he thinking?? what a weirdly shaped speech bubble this is) that even if what Dabi said about the Todoroki household is true, “I’m not sure it’s the same now.” which happens to be ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. man this whole chapter really is all about saying “fuck the past” and moving forward and I am living for it

SON!!!!

“the first step is at my beginning” fklkjlk. what an iconic fucking line??

AND HIS WINGS!!!! THEY ACTUALLY ARE GROWING BACK AHHHHHHH. “PUT A RAINCHECK ON THAT CAR, JEANIST-SAN.” THE HAWKSMOBILE CAN WAIT, RIGHT NOW HE HAS TO GO INSERT HIMSELF BACK INTO THE TODODRAMA WHETHER THEY LIKE IT OR NOT

you guys. I came here ready for some BAKUDEKU HOSPITAL ANGST, and I got DIDDLY SHIT of that, and none of my other kids were even in this chapter, but!!! ASK ME IF I CARE LMAO omg. because bird son is hanging with his new best friend, and he’s out here Finding Himself and picking up the pieces and putting them back together stronger than ever because RESILIENCE HAS A NAME, AND IT’S SPELLED H-A-W-K-S, and you guys. profound, my love for this child. holy shit. hey google, play Silence by Marshmello

In the Dead of Night

[MHA - Midoriya, Bakugou]

summary: Not wanting to return to a nightmare, Bakugou spends the night alone in the common area. That is, until Midoriya finds him and tries to get his old friend to open up with an effective technique from their childhood. (platonic BakuDeku tickle fic)

potential warnings: swearing, tickling

words: 1.5 k

a/n: ahhh my first fic!! …kinda hoping no one sees this but yeah imma post it anyways haha. hopefully whoever ends up reading this will enjoy it! happy national tickle day guys :D

Bakugou stared blankly out of one of the windows in the common area, gazing into the empty void that was the night sky. He rarely ever was awake during the dead of night, but yet here he was. Sleeplessly seated on the couch, long past the time his classmates all retired to their dorms.

He would much rather be asleep, heaven knew he needed the rest, but he was not going to risk returning to his nightmare. The experience felt more like he actually relived the sludge monster incident rather than only a dream. He could never willingly go back to that.

His mind being in its own world, Bakugou didn’t quite catch the faint sound of footsteps that grew closer. He vaguely recognized the familiar noises of the refrigerator door opening and closing before he was brought back from his daze by a hand offering him a bottle of water in front of his eyes.

Bakugou looked up and spotted no other than Izuku freaking Midoriya. He felt his facial features try to form a glare out of a force of habit, but his body was too exhausted to actually comply. Reluctantly, he grabbed the water bottle and took a sip as the green-haired boy wordlessly sat on the opposite end of the couch.

Midoriya, whose brain was still in the waking-up process, had just been awakened a few moments ago with his throat strongly craving for some cold water. Maybe it was due to the fact that his mind was still a bit clouded with sleep, or that the two boys had been sitting in silence for an uncomfortable amount of time, but Midoriya actually broke the silence and spoke up.

“What are you doing up at such a late hour?” he asked, turning slightly in his seat so that he could study Bakugou’s reactions. Midoriya didn’t know what he expected as a response, probably a snarky reply or just outright rage, but what he received definitely shocked him.

Bakugou completely ignored him and avoided any chance of eye contact by staring straight ahead. It was as if he didn’t know that his classmate was sitting not even three feet away from him. Midoriya immediately became more attentive and alert, his Kacchan Radar going off like crazy. Bakugou never missed an opportunity to pick a fight with or insult anyone, especially Midoriya.

To his credit, Midoriya took a moment to consider his options. He could go interrogation mode on Bakugou, but he doubted that the blonde would actually open up to him like that. Maybe he could just sit there in silence until Bakugou willingly chose to talk to him, but that could honestly take days. Of course, he could go back to his dorm and leave Bakugou alone, which was probably the option that his classmate would have wanted him to choose, but when was Midoriya even known for actually pleasing Bakugou?

Suddenly Midoriya remembered a technique that had never failed him back when he and Bakugou were younger. A method that they had both been sworn to secrecy about, and hadn’t been used in years.

“Why are you down here so late, Kacchan?” Midoriya asked again, grinning slightly, this time punctuating the other’s name with a poke to his side.

Bakugou let out a quiet yelp, obviously not expecting a small tingling sensation to suddenly shoot through his entire body. He internally cursed himself for showing a reaction and flinching away from the touch.

Still awaiting a response, Midoriya dared to poke again, but before his finger could come in contact with the boy’s body, Bakugou abruptly brought himself to his feet and made a move to leave the common area.

Midoriya quickly and quietly followed suit, walking up behind his unsuspecting classmate. He tasered his index and middle fingers into both of Bakugou’s sides, latching onto them and relentlessly digging in. “C’mon Kacchan, talk to me!”

Bakugou had to squeeze his eyes shut and cover his mouth with one hand to prevent himself from making any noises that could potentially wake up his classmates. He desperately tried to fight off Midoriya’s fingers with his other hand (emphasis on “tried”), but he was too tired physically and mentally to actually get away.

With the advantage of the surprise attack on his side, Midoriya was able to keep the minimally thrashing Bakugou in his grasp. Being the teasing shit that he is, Midoriya taunted, “I bet you wanna laugh, huh Kacchan? Go on, you’ll feel better if you just let it out.”

“N-no I w-won’t!” Bakugou argued from behind his hand, struggling to keep the laughter building up inside of his throat under control. “If we w-weren’t in the dorms right now I would not he-hesitate to blast your ass into nehext week.”

Midoriya gave a playful, over-dramatic gasp. “Did the Kacchan just giggle?” He moved his hands up to Bakugou’s ribs and started scribbling his fingers against them, causing the boy’s weak wall of defense to come crumbling down. As Bakugou’s little laughs started leaking out, Midoriya continued wiggling along the sensitive bones and drilling into the grooves between them. “I am now officially addicted, I must hear mor-”

“Hehehaha Deheheku quirk! Quhuhuhuirk!”

Midoriya immediately recognized the meaning of the word and stopped his tickling, letting his own arms drop to his sides. He watched as Bakugou bent over, arms wrapped tightly around his torso, trying to regain his self-control.

Meanwhile, Midoriya’s head began to flood with memories from his childhood, when the two boys had tickle fights almost on a daily basis. To prevent one of them from pushing the other past their limits, they had decided to use “quirk” as some sort of safeword. Midoriya was a bit surprised that he had immediately understood Bakugou’s intended context of the word, considering that it hadn’t been used for what felt like forever.

A soft, sentimental smile crossed Midoriya's face as he caught a glimpse of Bakugou's face for the first time since tickling him. The blonde’s lips were brought upwards in a reluctant smile and a light blush, most likely from embarrassment, dusted his cheeks. If only Midoriya had a camera to capture the rare moment.

“Did it really tickle so much that you had to call “quirk?”” Midoriya questioned, genuinely curious if he had gone too far.

Being somewhat in control of his own body again, Bakugou stood to his full height and faced his former best friend. If Midoriya noticed that his arms were still wrapped around and protecting his ribs, he didn’t say anything. “Of course it wasn’t that bad, dumbass. I-” Bakugou paused for a moment before looking away from Midoriya and continuing in a whispered voice. “I just didn’t want to risk making too much noise and waking anyone up and…”

He didn’t have to finish his thought for Midoriya to catch on to what he meant. He easily realized that Bakugou didn’t want any of their classmates to find out that he’s ticklish, which was understandable.

Midoriya nodded, showing Bakugou that he didn’t need to further explain. They stood in silence for a moment before the greenette chose to speak up again. “So why are you down here so late at night instead of sleeping in your dorm?”

Bakugou’s body visibly stiffened as he quickly cast his gaze towards the floor. If he hadn’t been exhausted beyond belief and still recovering from those nimble fingers that definitely did not tickle him, he probably would have told Midoriya to screw off and mind his own business. But instead, he answered, “If you really must know, shitty Deku, I had a dream about the damn sludge villain. I didn’t wanna deal with that shit again, so I just came down here to wait out until morning.”

Midoriya knew from experience that Bakugou didn’t want comforting words or pity. That would only make him feel even more vulnerable than he already was, and that wasn’t Midoriya’s intention. So instead, he simply replied in an indifferent tone, “Oh, alright then. Mind if I wait out here too then?”

Not waiting for an answer, Midoriya walked back to the couch and sat back down, spreading out comfortably but still leaving more than enough room for Bakugou. The last thing he wanted was for his former childhood best friend to have to recover from a nightmare alone. But he would never say it out loud, for Bakugou’s sake.

Two minutes passed before Bakugou inevitably decided to walk over and take the seat next to the other boy. Midoriya looked over and caught his classmate’s eye, nodding slightly to him with a small smile before turning back to gaze outside of the window.

Having gone from childhood best friends, to bully and victim, to rivals, to… wherever their relationship stood now, the two boys shared a strong bond that neither of them knew how to describe. But just being in each others’ presence in the dead of night, enjoying the silence between them, was comforting.

However, the pair would definitely not be feeling so relaxed if they hadn’t failed to notice a certain pink-haired alien queen that managed to capture a short, incriminating video before excitedly running off back to her dorm only a few mere moments ago.
