🍊 Own the Scars by @crinkle-eyed-boo {E, 144k}

“But I don’t belong here,” Louis insists.“Why do you say that?” James asks.“These people are all drug addicts and alcoholics,” Louis shrugs.Something sparks in James’ eyes.“And you’re not?”

Louis has never felt like he was good enough: for his stepdad, for his life-long best friend, for the life he's supposed to want. After an accident that nearly costs him his life, Louis' parents send him to rehab where he’s forced to face his demons. On the long and difficult road to recovery, Louis must confront the truths he’s been avoiding about his future, his relationships, and his sense of self-worth. Because before he can love anyone else, he’s got to learn how to love himself first.

Notoriously closeted boyband member Harry Styles is famous on a global scale, meanwhile Louis, as his best friend, is back home in Manchester, living the typical life of a 24 year old. When Harry needs Louis with him in LA, a publicity stunt gone wrong changes their friendship forever.

A fake-relationship AU between two lifelong best friends.

🍊 I'll Fly Away by @juliusschmidt {E, 122k}

Harry and Louis grew up together in Lake County, Harry with his mom and stepdad in a tiny cottage on Edward’s Lake and Louis in his family’s farmhouse a few minutes down the road. But after high school, Louis stuck around and Harry did not; Harry went to Chicago where he found a boyfriend and couple of college degrees. Six years later, Harry ends up back in Edwardsville for the summer and he and Louis fall into old patterns and discover new ones.

🍊 Heading for Limbo by @kingsofeverything {E, 100k}

Childhood best friends who’ve fallen in and out of touch with each other since Louis’ family moved away when they were thirteen, Harry and Louis find their paths crossing again and again. Each time, no matter how many miles apart or how many years it’s been, it’s as if no time has passed. They fall back into their easy friendship, until life intervenes and sends them on their separate ways once more.

When Harry discovers some life-changing things about himself, Louis is there for him, however he needs. But it’s all temporary because Louis has plans that will move his life from New York all the way to L.A. and the distance isn’t the only thing between them.

The pieces of their twice broken hearts are scattered from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

🍊 When the Lights Go Out by thelarenttrap / @antidotetogo {E, 79k}

“Louis, what do you have to say about how last week ended?” the reporter asks. There’s a moment of silence. Harry is looking at the reporter, but eventually gives in and looks down the table at Louis. He’s looking straight ahead, as if Harry isn’t even in the room. “If you can’t take the heat, then get out of the kitchen.” Harry leans forwards, placing his arms on the table and leaning onto them to get as close to his microphone as he can while looking at Louis. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” Louis turns to him, his icy blue eyes meeting Harry's. “Driving is your fuckin’ job, act like it.”

In its near eighty years of existence, Formula 1 has never had an out gay driver. In 2017, Harry Styles signs a contract with Scuderia AlphaTauri alongside his childhood friend and competitor, Louis Tomlinson. The next decade of their careers is some of the most tumultuous press--on and off the track--Formula 1 has ever seen.

aka the one where Louis and Harry are childhood friends to enemies to lovers over the course of 15 ish years.

🍊 Bottom of the Tenth (series) by kikikryslee / @flamboyantommo {M, 60k}

As Harry stood there, the other man turned around, and he knew he was correct in who he thought it was. “Louis?” he asked, still not quite believing it. Louis blinked. “Harry? Wh– what are you doing here?” “I work here,” Harry said. “What are you doing here?” “Um, I’m picking up my brother. The nurse called and said he was sick.” Harry felt like he was going to be sick. “Wait, Ernest is your brother? Since when do you have a brother?” “Since about seven years ago, I guess. Wait, how do you know Ernest?” “I’m his teacher.” “You’re his what?” Louis exclaimed. Harry gulped. This was going to be a long year.

Or, the AU where Louis and Harry were best friends growing up, but lost touch after Harry moved away. Ten years later, Harry has moved back to town, but he and Louis don't pick up where they left off.

🍊 Never Let Me Go by loveisalaserquest17 {E, 55k}

“Harry! I’ll tell you what,” Louis exclaims, clapping his hands together. There’s a big grin on his face. “If both of us are still single by your thirtieth birthday, we’ll marry each other.”Harry’s head snaps up, eyes widening. “What?”

Harry and Louis have been friends forever, but they couldn't be more different. One night, with a little too much alcohol, they make a pact to marry in ten years if they're both still single. Now, one month before the deadline, Louis is willing to do whatever it takes to avoid ending up with his best friend. But is he, really? | Loosely inspired by The 10 Year Plan

🍊 Faking It by TheCellarDoor / @donotdialnine {M, 46k}

A uni AU in which Louis has been Harry’s best friend since he offered him cubed fruit on the playground, and they spend more time cuddling in their dorm beds than they do apart, but it’s not like that. Or is it?

Aka Harry pretends to date his best friend to escape unwanted attention from a too insistent classmate and hopes it won’t blow up in his face. Featuring embarrassing dildo accidents, awkward boners, longing, first times, late night conversations, emotional discoveries and Niall as the exasperated friend with bad advice.

🍊 it always leads to you (in my hometown) by @insightfulinsomniac {E, 40k}

Doncaster hasn’t changed much since Harry left it nine years ago to chase his dreams in LA. Harry, on the other hand, has changed a lot.

Except for one thing — he’s still desperately in love with his childhood best friend and first boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson. Who he hasn’t spoken to for the same nine long years.

A holiday story of returning home — not just to a place, but also to a person. ‘tis the damn season and This Love inspired AU.

🍊 Canyon Moon by delsicle / @eeveedel {E, 40k}

For as long as Louis has remembered, he has been promised to be mated to Harry, his best friend and the future pack alpha. But Louis’s heart belonged to the forest and to the hunt more than he could ever imagine it belonging to Harry.

Then Harry’s father dies in a violent accident, and Louis’s future alpha disappears on the wind.

An A/B/O Lion King AU

🍊 Snow In Love by @lululawrence {NR, 33k}

Harry and Louis are best friends and have been for basically as long as they can remember. For the first time since middle school, they are both single for the holidays leaving them with the brilliant idea to take each other as their dates to work events. To make things easier they will pretend like they’re dating. But then they learn something funny.

People thought they were already dating. Weird.

An advent fic featuring childhood friends, fake dating turned actual dating, really horrible secret keeping, and a winter weather surprise.

🍊 Oh, We're In Love, Aren't We? by Rearviewdreamer / @all-these-larrythings {M, 30k}

After sixteen wonderful years of friendship, it's hard to imagine any grand (and usually dumb) plans they haven't had or some type of mischief they haven't gotten into together. But, when Harry suddenly finds himself without a fiance and Louis just wants to help him feel okay again, they realize falling in love is one thing they haven't done, and that's about to change.

🍊 Forever Never Comes by Larry_you_know / @larryyouknow {M, 25k}

Victorian au, where Harry Styles, the youngest son of the Duke of Sutherland, was always a little in love with his childhood friend Louis Tomlinson, the young Earl of Doncaster, though he would never have told him in a million years. Especially since Louis never showed him any signs of romantic affection. But now Louis has invited him (and his sister Gemma) to London, and many things may not be as they have seemed.

🍊 I Wanna Be More Than Friends by @2tiedships2 {NR, 20k}

He hadn't meant to scent Harry. They were best friends and that was it. Scenting best friends wasn't exactly socially acceptable.

"Lou," Harry whispered.

Louis jumped at his name and sat up straighter to provide a bit of distance between himself and Harry.

"You can't scent me, Lou," Harry stated.

Which of course Louis couldn't scent him. They were best friends.

"I mean," Harry continued. "I wouldn't mind exactly, but if I can't scent you, I don't think you should scent me."

"What do you mean you can't scent me? I mean, I get it because we're best friends but..."

"I mean I can't smell you, Louis. I fucking can't smell you. I can't smell anything, okay?"

Or the one where Harry’s an alpha with no sense of smell, Louis’ an omega who isn’t allowed to scent his best friend, and that’s all they’ll ever be. Obviously.

🍊 threadbare by kiwikero / @icanhazzalou {M, 20k}

Harry Styles was eight years old when Louis Tomlinson kept him from falling into a machine in a Manchester textile mill.

He was 18 years old when nothing, not even the threat of death, could keep Harry from falling in love with Louis.

🍊 Restless Lane by @jaerie {E, 14k}

Louis had grown used to his boring life back in Mississippi as a stand-in father figure to his siblings. He never expected his childhood friend to show up on his lawn with the heat of summer or that he would remind Louis how much of himself he'd tucked away and neglected. He also never expected to find himself caught up in a tangled web of feelings or secrets that just might break him. Maybe he had never known Harry at all.

🍊 you and I love like it's a secret by we_are_the_same / @so-why-let-your-voice-be-tamed {T, 4k}

Louis swallows, looking at Harry, who grins at him as though nothing’s wrong. He’s leaning against the door of a wardrobe, his long hair having lost some of its curls due to the amount of times he’s run his fingers through it. Louis is still where he was the moment the door got closed behind them, all but pressed up against the wood, trying to keep as much distance between him and Harry as possible.

His heart stutters in his chest as he looks up at his best friend. He’s known Harry since he was barely out of diapers, and Harry gets him in a way that few people ever have – or have tried to. He knows him, to the point where sometimes Louis worries that he’s able to read his mind.

Or: It's Seven minutes in Heaven, but Louis sort of feels like he's ended up in Hell instead when he's forced into a small bedroom with his childhood best friend slash long time crush.

🍊 All The Way Home I'll Be Warm by @justanothershadeofblue {T, 2k}

Harry & Louis jokingly send out holiday cards together as friends, and now everyone is congratulating them for finally getting together. A 5+1 fic, for Christmas.

🍊 What’s in a Name by @hellolovers13 {T, 2k}

Louis had always known Harry was his soulmate.

The name on his arm disagreed.

But what did his soulmark know about true love anyway.

The burnt memories | Human Alastor oneshot

Human Alastor x Fem reader - one shot

summary: Moving in your hometown was awfully hard for you, staying with you mother you needed to find a job. However you were devastated after you got robbed and humiliated in the process. You remembered your childhood bestfriend but you can't seem to remember his name..

wc: 3k

tw: murder, kidnapping, stalking, Period-Typical racism, Period-Typical sexism, gore, bad English, this is extremely old, short one shot, Angst, childhood friends to strangers, the plot is happening rlly fast, ooc?, not proffread

a/n: originally this was suppose to be a fanfiction but since I really really not enjoy writing for hazbin hotel as I used to I turned it into an oneshot since I don't like my work go to waste. The plot is going rlly fast couse this was suppose to be a fanfiction y'all with a happy little ending where you'd end up with Alastor but I decided to change it a bit.

Moving in your hometown was awfully hard for you. The feeling of nostalgia washed over you, as you saw the forest that you used to play in, when you were a kid. The trees have grown, indeed. You walked up to the old entry, that you and your friend created. It was extremely hard to expose the hidden and abandoned path for two small children. It took hours! However when you two finally succeeded, you had to go home since it was already late and you had to eat dinner.

You truly cherished the memories that you shared with your close ones here. You remembered every story like it happened yesterday. You were a bit shocked to see the path fully exposed. Back in the old days, it was only a little hole that only children could fit it. Half of you was happy, knowing that you won't have to crawl and struggle through the hole that didn't exist anymore. However the other half of you was disappointed, 'cause your hard work got wasted.

Deciding to take a scroll through the forest, you followed the familiar path. Noticing how half of the forest turned into an hunting area, you weren't surprised at all. The hunting season was just around the corner and you were not happy about that. You moved into your old household as your father decided to leave your mother alone. She needed your help and you provided it as you loved your mother dearly. He, himself found a better house in a wealthier area. Unfortunately for you, your house was very close to the once so familiar forest. When you were little everything looked so big and magical but now? The magic had dissapered from the once fairy tale space.

Turning around on your heel, you faced with an abandoned playground. Kids, including you, used to play here a lot. You were shocked when you saw it in its terrible state. The slide dirty with mud and weird black substances, rotted and once more, everything was terribly rotted. After a while of thinking, you began to understand why this place went abandonment. Really, whose idea it was to put a playground inside of a forest?

Continuing your scroll, you began to remember your old childhood friend. What was his name? You couldn't remember. You didn't believe that you forgot such an important thing. His whole face was a blur, yet you still remembered that charming smile of his. Somehow he always managed to make you smile and laugh. You started wondering if he is still as funny as he was in the past. Wait.. Does he still live here? Does he still remember you? You hoped that the answer to both of these questions were positive.

By the time you came back home it was already dark. Walking in, you greeted your mother, apologising for taking so long. She just brushed it off saying that "you don't have to spend all of your life in this house." Chuckling a bit you mentally agreed with her.

Looking around, your eyes were met with your luggage that you did not unpack yet. A sigh escaped your lips as you made your way over to your belongings. The truth is that you were too exhausted to unpack them, however you knew that they just wouldn't unpack themselfs.

Walking into your old room, that holds so much lovely memories from your childhood, you noticed a newspaper on the floor. April 11th, 1929, yesterdays date. Your mother must have opened the window in your room, and the newspaper must have flew it way in here. Dropping your belongings, you just noticed the cold temperature in the room. Freezing even. Closing the window you picked up yesterday's newspaper to look at it.

The axeman of New Orleans attacked again!

There's an axeman going around? How didn't you know that there's a murderer in the place where you grew up in? Anxious, you decided to sit down on your bed and read the rest of the article.

Time flew by and you grew more and more disappointed of the news you just read. No wonder father moved out you thought leaving the newspaper on your nightstand and rubbed your eyes. Tommorow will be a hard day and you knew that. The luggages didn't unpack themself yet so you had to finally do it. Wanting to forget about the informations that you acknowledged you moved to your belongings and started unpacking.

There wasn't really a lot of things there; just some clothes, hygiene stuff, basic writing supplies and some of your most important things that you could never get rid of.

9 pm. That was the time on the clock when you finished unpacking. Exhausted you rolled in your bed, not even thinking of changing into your pijamas. Your mind started to thrift to the events that happened today. The memories of your childhood were truly worthy being in an museum.

Just as you were about to fall asleep, your mind decided to remind you of him, once again. Wait.. What if he was killed my the axeman? You truly hoped that it wasn't true. You thought that maybe, just maybe you two could get the chance to catch up. However the promise.. You had no idea why didn't he keep the promise. Before you could think more about it, your eyes closed by themself.

"Tag, You're it! " You giggled before running deeper into the forest. You heard footsteps mixing with your own behind you, signalling that he was chasing you. Turning, and making an unexpected turn, you failed to notice how your dress got all muddy. You had no idea that you would get scolded after you'd came back home by your mother.

You laugh, as you turned around to see that you successfully lost your friend. Hiding in a bush that slightly tore your dress, you waited for him to give up or to just walk by so you could scare him.

"Boo!"

You screamed as, to your suprise, your friend found you. "not fun.." You mumbled as he helped you get up. "You cheated!"

"I didn't!" He argued, giggling a bit at your indignation. "You're just too easy to catch."

"No i am not!" You gasped in annoyance.

Your argument went on and on, you accusing him of cheating and him defending himself as he told you that he just creeped behind. Before you knew it your legs were leading the way to your houses.

Soon enough it was time to say your goodbyes as you both were standing beside your homes.

"Despite everything, I enjoyed hanging out with you today, ..." Your younger self confessed to him. Wait, him? You clearly heard you say his name. Why couldn't you remember it? Why couldn't you remember his name.

Before you knew it, you were dragged to a pitch black hole. You wanted to scream, but for some reasons you couldn't manage to utter anything.You turned around as you heard a familiar voice calling your name. Nothing was there. You gasped when something dragged you by your legs, finally screaming to let you go.

You jumped out of your bed, sweating in a middle of the night. You could hear the birds chipp as the rain continued to pour rather aggressively.

It was just a nightmare.

"I still don't understand why you have to leave so early, pumpkin?" Your mother asked worringly, her eyes showed that she isn't very sure of what you're trying to do.

"The sooner, the better!" You declared with determination. You were confident with what you're trying to do, hoping that you will find a job in an maximum week. "Can't waste any time, love you, bye!!" You yelled, closing the door behind you. You didn't need any negative energy around you.

Walking down the alley, you turned around to go to the busier side of the town. Head up high, heels clicking with every step you took, your eyes scanning all of the shops that were near you. However there was one that caught your attention..

Stepping in the boutique, you noticed how clean and neat it was. All of the newest dresses, coats and jewelry displayed for customers eyes. You could get used to it..

Walking up the counter, you rang a little bell on it. You jumped as your heard a sudden voice behind you.

"Good morning dear, do you need any help?" An older woman asked you, moving to face you behind the counter. You could tell that she was in her 50s.

"um.." You looked at her, still startled, not knowing what to say. You thought that you would have some time to think about it. She looked at you with a confused look and you took it as a signal to finally say something.

"I was wondering if you need help. I mean if you need help with the job.. around the boutique." You finally uttered. Fixing your clothes and straightening your posture to look presentable. Her umber eyes staring into your determined ones.

"I apologize sweetie, but i'm not looking for any workers at the moment" Her mode shifted a bit when she saw your sad look. You were disappointed, even though you knew that you won't get a job at your first try.

"That's fine, do you by any chance know someone or an shop that is short on staff?" You asked, with hope in your eyes.

"Unfortunately." she looked down and started searching for something behind the counter. "However i could contact you if I'll acknowledge any in the area? I know how it is looking for a job these days." Before you could think about what she said, the woman asked you for your name. Giving you her number; in case you wanted to contact her, after writing your own name down on an another card.

"Thank you so much ma'am." You thanked her after introducing yourself. "It means a lot to me."

"Oh! No need to be so formal. Call me Louise." You gave the woman a kind smile, before repeating her name and saying your goodbye.

You had plenty of time left, it was only nine am, and now you were questioning yourself why'd you leave this early. Pheraps your mother was right, after all. Eyeing all of the buildings around you, you decided to go to a florist next.

Before you could take another step a young boy stopped you.

"Miss, would you like to buy a newspaper? They're only 15 cents each!" You looked at him, at the newspaper that he was holding and back at him. Pheraps it would be useful. You could tell that the little bit was struggling, wanting to earn some money. So were you.

"of course, little one."

He smiled widely at your response waiting for you to find your money. You handed him the 15 cents shortly after, in exchange, earning today's newspaper. Before you could thank him, he already run off. Confused you looked back at the newspaper you were holding, about to read it.

Wait a second..

That's yesterday's newspaper! This little boy tricked you. These kids these days.. You sighed, not having the strength to run after him, continuing your way to the flower shop.

Soon enough you arrived at your destination, the bell rang as you stepped into the shop.

Looking around you were fascinated with the interior, everything looked so pretty that you couldn't get enough of it. The different types of flowers; Roses, Tulips, hibiscus..

And Oof!

"I'm so sorry mr.. I was in the way." You apologized as you bumped into a rather tall stranger. His skin was in the shade of caramel and his hair just slightly darker. He looked at you almost out of pity, is he making fun of you?

"No need to apologize, clearly I wasn't looking where I was heading as well." He calmly explained, fixing his coat from any dust that could get on it. "If I may ask your name, dear?"

You quickly introduced yourself, putting your head up for him to shake it, to your dismay he didn't even touch you.

"Well what a lovely name for such a lovely lady like yourself! My name? Alastor, pleasure to be meeting you."

"Alastor? Did I know someone names Alastor?" You thought but quickly recovered. As flawless as this conversation was going you had to continue your journey. Excusing yourself from the gentleman you began asking for a job once again.

"Woman. What makes you think that this is a job for a woman?" The man behind the lada laughed at you, shooing you out of his establishment. "A woman could never handle a job as tough as this one."

You wanted to cry, you truly did. This was the 6th building you visited today, all of them didn't need help and it was already getting dark. Devastated you left the store, not wanting to get even more humiliated. Your next stop? Your house. You thought about how dissapointed your mother must be in you, you'd can't want to look her in the eyes.

As you were walking, step by step by your childhood forest you heard some bushes rustling behind you, now you felt like you were getting watched. Paranoid you turned on your heel to look behind you.. No ones there. You let a sigh of relief, but before you could turn around you felt yourself getting sleepy..

Dark.

That's what you saw, everything dark and even darker. You squinted your eyes after opening them to not get blinded by the light. After you got used to it, you looked at your surroundings..

Basement, you were in a basement? How did you end up here, you don't remember. Your head hurts like hell and your mind 8s spinning. Trying to get up you failed miserably and only hurt yourself by the chains you were chained up to. "what..?" You thought.

"And that I am dizzy with a dame like you." You heard a familiar voice behind you, wanting to turn around but couldn't as you were chained up. "don't worry I'll make it quick for my lady."

Opening your mouth to speak, to whisper, to scream.. You realized you couldn't do any of those, your mouth stuffed with something.

"You're probably wondering where are you? who am i? what is this man gonna do to me? aren't you? Well.." The sound of loud metal could be heard in the entire basement as he hit you with a metal pipe on the head. You were quickly losing blood, a stray of blood coming from the insides of your head, from your nose, from your mouth. Before you passed out you did that you heard his last words to you or rather to himself..

"I don't need any disturbance in my life, I don't need love its a distraction."

ALASTOR MASTERLIST

[animeloverskylarmoon]

Jujutsu Kaisen Fanfiction- Chapter 14

“Thank you Sensei!” 

You nod at the student with a smile. 

“I wonder how Suno is doing.” 

It feels a bit strange teaching without her in the class. But according to the other first years, she was advancing quickly. Becoming more comfortable. Striving. It’s a relief. You’ve always known she possessed potential. Turns out it was far more than what you could have expected. 

There’s a knock at the door, and you turn. The secretary is standing there with a smile. 

“(L/N)-sensei, may I borrow you for a second?” 

“Of course. Please continue the project, I’ll be back in a moment.” You advise the class. Stepping outside, you slide the door closed. 

“Is something wrong?” She shakes her head as you both walk together to the office.

“Quite the contrary. You have a visitor. A handsome one at that.” 

She could have been talking about either of the men you know. You chuckle at the thought. As you step into the office you raise your head. The first thing you take in is the attire of this individual. 

“Would you mind giving us a moment alone?”  The male says politely. She nods, taking her leave. Your hand shakes for a brief moment, and you tighten it into a fist to stop the tremors. 

“I was very eager to see you again. I hope I’m not intruding on your time (Y/N).” You swallow. 

“This is bad.” 

It’s the second period. The school was filled with students, not to mention faculty. If he’s planning an attack, right now is an ideal time. It would be impossible for you to stop him as well as any accomplices he may have. 

“Gojo was right.” 

“Relax, I’m only here to talk. Would you like to take a walk?” 

You don’t have much of a choice. You snap your fingers behind your back as you nod. 

“Let’s go Geto.”

The best and only option is to get him far away from the school. 

You hate the fact that you feel so helpless. There’s always been a part of your life that you lacked control. But this is different. As you join him, your mind drifts to Gojo’s words. That day when he’d confided in you. 

“He wasn’t always like that. I think after Amanai, a lot changed. “ 

It’s not often that Gojo is serious. 

As he sits here in your living room. It feels like the entire aura of the room has changed. He’d pretty much told you everything. There’s a lot that Gojo has kept to himself. You always knew that behind those smiles and tasteless jokes, there was something there. From the way he speaks, it’s clear that Geto wasn’t the only one who cared about her. 

“Riko Amanai, she was important to you too.” 

“She was.” 

No denial. 

You can’t help the pain in your gut. That girl, she was someone they both cared for, and they were the ones who had to watch her die. That day when Geto lost control, in a way it makes sense. There’s a part of you that wishes you could bring her back, maybe then this battle that is approaching would not exist.

“G-Gojo I-” 

Your eyes widen when he leans in, pressing a kiss to your lips. He stays there for a few seconds, pulling back with a smile. You can see the weight behind his gaze. 

“You can’t change the past, nor can you change his mind. He’s already chosen his side. I tried, but he made his decision.” 

Your eyes lower, and you clench your fists into your lap. He can tell from your expression that those aren’t the words you want to hear. 

“If he approaches you again, don’t try to shoulder it all on your own, we’re here. We’ll protect you. Lean on us.” 

That’s what he said. More than anything, you know that. Gojo might act like a fool, but he’s there when it counts. 

When it’s necessary. 

“I trust you, Gojo, Nanami.” 

Regardless of how it seems right now, they have your back. 

That’s all you truly need. 

[isara0408]

Megami and Kaga had a lot of potential than just being Kaga stalking Megami and pretty much being her stalker/creep that Yandere Dev made himself.

Instead of that, why didn't Yandere Dev make them childhood friends? Kaga's parents work in Saikou Corp. I'm sure Kaga would have met Megami during his youth whenever Megami had to leave the Corporation for her training, so why didn't he chose that path for them and have Kaga be the first male that Megami trusted? Kaga fits the criteria that the Saikou family is looking for (sure, he's at the bottom of the list, but he's there)

Kaga is quite intelligent and very talented at a very young age. Maybe if Saisho was able to see that, maybe he would have wanted Kaga close to Megami.

"If this boy is close to Megami and Megami trusts this boy, he can be a useful tool for Saikou Corp in the future."

Ichirou doesn't go against his father's decision. He never really argues with him either, so Ichirou has to follow his father's orders on keeping Kaga close to Megami. They will have to keep a close eye on him. If he ever did find out the dark secrets of Saikou Corp, Kaga would be killed by the orders of Saisho. (Just like Saisho did with Fungirl, but actually killed him rather than using a machine)

Saisho would keep a close eye on the two children whenever they were close to each other or hanging out.

Megami and Kaga begin to talk almost every day, which Saisho allowed. As time went on, the two became very close friends. Kaga was there for Megami whenever she needed him, and Megami was there for Kaga whenever he needed her.

The two continued to stick by each other's side throughout their years. Even after Saisho died, Megami made sure that Kaga stayed by her side if Ichirou had ever tried to separate and break their friendship, or if Kencho ever tried to set a trap to break their friendship.

Kaga would be a threat to Ayano if she killed him before and during Megami's week. Even if Kaga is her suitor, Kaga is someone important to Megami. If Megami loses him, who knows what she will do to put Ayano behind bars for his death.

So, let me give you guys some headcanons for this universe :>

They first met when they were 5.

Megami was quite distant at first because of how strict her family was until Saisho, himself, allowed her to see him and hang out with him.

Kaga was there for her during the tragic event of her murdering her hamster. (Megami's mother sneaked him inside) That day, Kaga promised her that they'll buy a hamster and take care of it together when they got older.

On her 13th birthday, Kaga made her a bracelet with his own hands to represent their friendship. He made one for himself, too. (And Aoi once she came into the picture) Megami hides her bracelet under her sleeves of her student council uniform.

Aoi and Kaga didn't get along well at first, but they slowly got close to each other and became friends. (Kaga is still scared of her)

Megami was slightly shorter than Kaga when they were children, but during the years and puberty, Megami grew taller.

Kaga would show Megami his new gadgets, invention ideas, etc. Megami would sometimes help him with building those inventions/gadgets (with a lot of protection, of course). That's how her love for science became.

Megami has a small robot that Kaga made himself and gave it to her to keep her company when they first met. She still has it in her room.

Megami forced Kaga to take self-defense classes. (It didn't end very well)

Kaga is basically Megami's cheerleader. He will cheer for her as much as possible to show that he is by her side and she can count on him.

Whenever Kaga gets hurt by an experiment, Megami will immediately take him to the best hospital in Japan and would be there for him unless she had training to do.

Kaga's parents feel uneasy having Megami close to their son. They know how strict the Saikou family is. They don't want their son harmed in any way. With time, they began to trust Megami. (Only her)

Once they enter Akademi, they are known as powerful friendship. The daughter of the richest and most powerful man in Japan and a mad scientist who is very talented and made the impossible possible. together? Power duo!

Megami has witnessed many competitions that Kaga has been in and won first place for. She tries to be there with her bodyguards and would take Kaga out to celebrate for his accomplishments with the permission of his parents, of course.

Whenever Kaga did his crazy smile or laugh when he got a new idea in his mind, Megami would smack him (gently) to make him quit, or shaking her head and say, "No."

Megami only lets Kaga show her affection (holding her hand, pecking her cheek, hugging her, etc). It makes him happy, and the way he shows love.

Kaga's parents sometimes tease Kaga about, one day, ending up liking Megami as more than a childhood friend. Kaga rejects this every time (but they were right in the end)

Kaga ended up catching feelings for Megami when they entered Akademi. At first, Kaga was confused at first on how his body was reacting to having Megami close to him or showing her affection, which is something he always did. Kaga never fell in love with anyone or saw anyone in a romantic way, so it was all new to him. With time, Kaga finally admitted that he caught feelings for his childhood friend. (His parents had a nice " I told you so." victory 😌)

Megami caught on to this. She's not blind. It's quite obvious from Kaga's body language.

Kaga never had the courage to confess because of many guys trying to win Megami's hand in marriage until the last year of Akademi, that's when he confessed his feelings to her under the cherry tree.

Megami did develop feelings for Kaga, but it took her more time to realize those buried feelings.

Kaga admires Megami a lot for her achievements, bravery, determination, and her hard work.

Megami would carry Kaga if he was ever too fatigued to move (after not resting for a certain number of days). Kaga found it annoying at first but got used to it.

Whenever Megami has free time (it's rare), Kaga would use this opportunity to go to the town with Megami to spend time together as much as they can.

Kaga would protect Megami from any guy who would flirt with her or look at her inappropriately. Megami would tell him to let her handle it and to calm down.

Megami is brutally honest with Kaga even if it hurts his feelings. She will say what she thinks and feels. (This is a headcanon I have as them as a couple )

If Kaga is killed, Megami will make sure to put Ayano behind bars. She knows she did it. After that, she will mourn for Kaga's death.

If Megami is killed, Kaga will find the person who caused her death and mourn for Megami's death.

This is probably something that would happen in another timeline not in the canon one, but it's a nice idea and interesting friendship :D

Hi, I lost a fic and can't seem to find it, so I was wondering if you could help me out.

It's set in the Underground. Eren's living in a house and growing a bunch of plants. Levi's trying to lose the people chasing after him when he either gets injured in the process, or is already injured prior to the chase, and crashes down onto one of Eren's flower patches. And Eren doesn't give him his name until later on in the fic after he helped him. (First, an alias, and then I think his real name some time after.)

Repeating History by RosyLilac

Levi had always been a sucker for those gem-like eyes. Those eyes beseeched him to do their bidding; from smuggling literal horseshit for fertilizing his precious garden, to adopting three kids and a teenager without Levi putting the ring on him let alone growing the balls to confess yet ("It's been 18 years, Levi," Farlan reminded him, the long-suffering witness). And the effect didn’t lessen when those eyes were as big as double his head and the owner now a fifteen meter of bone-white, bare-assed, hammer-swinging juggernaut currently begging to be allowed to cross the sodding ocean to meet up with his psycho older nephew and conduct a peace summit with delegations from all over the world.

a.k.a How Eren Jaeger channeled Ymir Fritz, got thrown backward in time, stuffed himself into his aunt’s dead body while stealing a titan, and proceed to save (almost) everybody’s life. And somehow, no matter how many things Eren redid right, Levi still ended up suffering from dealing with his antics. [MAJOR SPOILERS FROM THE ANIME AND MANGA UP TO THE LATEST CHAPTER]

Bakugou Katsuki x Reader : Win to Save

THIS CONTAINS SPOILERS FROM THE MANGA! if you haven't read the manga / don’t want to be spoiled be warned before reading :)

Summary: Bakugou and the reader are childhood best friends. During the heat of the battle, Bakugou’s heart stops from functioning. With the reader having an energy quirk, they transfer energy from ones body to Bakugou’s to repair his heart. The consequences of said actions are fatal though Bakugou doesn’t know how he is alive, he fights until he wins. He wins to save but cannot save the one person that he holds dear to him.

Reader is Gender Neutral and has an energy consumption quirk. 

Warning: Angst, Past Trauma, Death, Mentions of blood, mentions of injuries, doesn’t follow the complete plot of the manga.

“Kacchan!!” Your voice rang through the battle field. From a distance you could see your childhood friend laying flat on the grass with Best Jeanist by his side. You had a sinking feeling in your stomach and you were right. You could feel your breath hitch as you stared at the beaten blonde who wasn’t moving. 

You looked up at the sky as the clouds were getting grayer. It looked like it was going to rain. You were reminded of his mother mentioning to you many times throughout childhood that Bakugou hated the rain. You began walking slowly to Bakugou but then picked up the pace as you ran to him with tears already forming in your eyes. 

“[Y/N] stop! It’s too dangerous Shigaraki is still-” You could hear Mirio’s voice in your left ear as you turned to face Shigaraki while you were still running. Your eyes seeping with tears already as you extended your arm and put your hand on his chest. He seemed shocked but unfazed at the same time. 

“I could kill you right now!” You screamed at him as your hand started to glow a bright yellow color as energy was trickling out of Shigaraki’s body, taking his life force. Shigaraki’s eyes widened as he seemed to pull away quickly. He swung at you with full force to get you away from him, seeming as it was his first time seeing your quirk. 

Your quirk wasn’t meant to drain the life force of others. Yet, if you were a villain that was exactly what it would be used for. You weren’t one though. You felt your back hit a corrupted wall of a destroyed building as you grunted in pain but it wasn’t anything you couldn't take. Staring at your hand you had an idea. 

There was never a moment where you had drained someone else’s life energy...other than your own. Your hand continued to glow, which held part of Shigaraki’s life in your hand. It was a ball of energy that could only be returned to him by you yet you didn’t want to do that. 

You stood up quickly when the idea finally crossed your mind fully. It wouldn’t be enough but you quickly tried to make your way to Bakugou while heroes were still trying to hold Shigaraki up. You didn’t look back even if Shigaraki was chasing after your back to get his energy that you stole.

You continued to run closer to Best Jeanist and Bakugou before it was too late. Unresponsive, from a distance you could see Bakugou was just that. You were too quick to your actions that you were risking everything to save him. Save Dynamight. Your childhood friend who you didn’t have a great enough past with to even consider him that. 

Yet you loved him. Whether it was out of admiration or pure love that you wanted to be by his side forever. There was never a moment where you thought to yourself that your life would be better with Bakugou not in it. He taught you so many lessons that he couldn't just die here. He couldn't leave this world, leave you. 

Leave Midoriya, leave the hero world where he was still competing with Midoriya to be the number one hero. You were running as quickly as you could, still dodging the obstacles that Shigaraki and everyone else was causing so that you wouldn't get to Bakugou in time. Every second counted and as soon as you were there by his side, time seemed to slow down. You weren't shielded by any force field, you weren't in the safe zone. Instead you were still out in the open for Shigaraki to attack you at any moment. 

You looked at Best Jeanist who had his eyebrows furrowed and sweat falling from the side of his forehead. You could tell he cared a lot for his student and was trying to make a heart out of strings to potentially bring him back. You looked at Bakugou’s chest with tired eyes as you had already went through so many emotions. 

Bakugou’s eyes were opened, he wasn’t breathing and his heart was damaged. He was dead and you weren't there by his side at his last breaths. You didn't think these would be his last breaths though. 

“Best Jeanist.” You called out quietly as you looked over at the villains and heroes fighting one another, the heroes trying their hardest to keep the villains away from you and Bakugou. You didn't hear a response and called out his hero name again. 

“Now is not the time..we have to save Bakugou.” Best Jeanist said, determined because it was his job. It was what he wanted to do for the rest of his life like every hero here. He wanted to save people like heroes do. That was what you wanted to do as well. You held Best Jeanist’s hand gently, allowing him to stop what he was doing. 

“I can do it.” You whispered. As scary as it sounded, the calmness in your voice could probably shake someone to their core. Especially when it was in a situation like this. You, Bakugou’s childhood friend was filled with rage but the masking of your emotions said it otherwise. Best Jeanist stared at you as if he was in disbelief. 

“What do you mean? We’re losing time (Hero Name)! You can’t keep stalling-” “i can do it.” You whispered again as you pushed Best Jeanist’s chest gently as if telling him to help on the field. You knew that he wouldn't right away but you had to explain yourself while you could. 

You gently put your hand to Bakugou’s chest, the one that was glowing with Shigaraki’s energy, his life force. As it was being transferred to Bakugou’s body, you could see how wide Best Jeanist’s eyes were getting. As if telling you to stop and prying your hand off of Bakugou’s chest, you kept it there because it wasn't your energy right now. 

“It’s Shigaraki’s energy but it’s not going to be enough.” You whispered. You had to be quick to explain because you wouldn’t have enough time left either. “I’m going to transfer my life energy into Dynamight.” You said straightforwardly.  “You have to tell Aizawa-sensei after..you can’t tell him in the heat of the battle. He shouldn't worry about another student right now. I know he would but...but everyone wants to see Kacchan live. I have to do this. This is my purpose in Kacchan’s life. Saving him when no one else will.” You said as your eyebrows knitted together when staring at Best Jeanist. Your walls started to crash down as the thought of this not working crossing your mind. 

Best Jeanist couldn’t say anything as you continued to explain yourself. You put your other hand on your chest as the hand that was slowly starting to become dim was almost done transferring to Bakugou’s body.

“I’ve never used anyone’s energy to fight, and have only ever used natural energy that is given off by this earth.” You whispered. “I’m not even sure if this would work. I don’t know if it’ll suddenly fix his organs that are damaged or if it’ll repair him and yet I need to try. I have to try for him.” You wanted to save Bakugou because he saved you so many times. 

“I need you to go back into battle while I do this. If Dynamight doesn’t come back..then I’m going to keep trying until he does. I won’t give up, ever.” You said with a determined look as both of your hands were now glowing. As if it were flowing through you, the energy that you had, the life force that you were meant to give to Bakugou, was finally coursing out of you. 

Best Jeanist’s eyebrows furrowed seeing that you were already at it. Time wasn't going to slow down any time soon. You were all still in battle and yet the pro-hero didn’t want to leave your side, Bakugou’s side to be specific. 

“(Hero Name)” Best Jeanist called out. “What would Bakugou do if he suddenly woke up the next morning or when this was all over and he didn’t see you?” Best Jeanist asked, making the conversation longer but you didn't mind. 

“He would probably scold me once he sees me.” You laughed softly as you stared at Bakugou. You closed his eyes gently before continuing to look at him. “He would say things like wow you’re such an idiot where did you go off to this time? Did you get lost you’re the worst at directions.” you were slowly breaking down when you were thinking of words that Bakugou would say to you if you weren’t around him after this.

“He would blame himself.” Best Jeanist said as he put a hand on your shoulder as your tears were falling while your eyes were closed shut, sobbing softly because you knew Bakugou cared for you but you didn't want him to die. 

“He would say that I was being reckless and to never ever do it again.” You said with your voice cracking, choking on your tears as you still continued to transfer your energy. Nothing was stopping you but you knew how much Bakugou cared about you too. Maybe, in another universe you would be able to tell Bakugou how much you loved him. 

Best Jeanist nodded. “You have to consider being alive too...so you can't give everything.” Best Jeanist got up slowly. “But I’ll follow what you’re saying. Don’t be reckless, Bakugou would say.” Best Jeanist gently put his hand onto your head, rubbing it gently. 

“I can’t let him die, sir” You said as you shook your head as you tried to transfer faster but it was going at a slow pace and was already taking a toll on your body. “I love him...I love him so much.” You said as you continued to cry. Best Jeanist’s eyes softened when you finally admitted it. Bakugou hadn't said it to you but Best Jeanist actually liked it when Bakugou would rant on and on about how much he loved you as well.

Best Jeanist wouldn’t tell you that though. It would be more believable if it came out of the one who had the feelings. Bakugou had feelings for you and he meant them. 

You looked up slowly before your tears continued to pile up. You nodded as Best Jeanist was now part of the hero group that was preventing Shigaraki from getting to you.

While that was happening you felt your chest was starting to get tight. It was hurting because this wasn’t something that you did. If you had taken the energy of others, then would they feel this tightness that you were feeling? It hurt, so why would you ever consider doing that ever? You panted as you tried to stay calm.

You continued to feel that sharp pain but you started to take slow breaths, deep breathing so that you would be able to push through. You were still feeling the sharp tightness but you knew that you would be okay. You knew if you stopped trying for any moment that something bad could happen and maybe the energy could flow out of Bakugou on accident. 

Suddenly memories started to flood in. You were killing yourself slowly weren't you? Your brain and heart were now thinking of small memories that you shared with Bakugou. You closed your eyes more as you tried to breathe even slower. 

‘You idiot, that isn’t how you do it. Let me do it for fuck’s sake.” Bakugou said aggressively as he snatched the small gadget that was in your hand. A pout crossed your lips as you grumbled since you were trying to figure out a small kid’s toy puzzle. Bakugou stared at it for a second and tried to solve it. You had a smug look on your face as you stared at him silently trying to figure it out. 

Finally after a few seconds...maybe not even 15 seconds into trying the gadget, Bakugou let out the most vile, animalistic screeching noise that it made one of the plants off of one of the side tables that belonged in the dorm living room. ‘THIS LITTLE SHIT WON’T FUCKING OPEN WHY DID YOU EVEN BUY THIS YOU DUMBASS’

‘TO ANNOY THE CRAP OUT OF YOU DUH WHAT ELSE HAHAHA’ You said as you were holding your stomach and wiping tears from the corner of your eyes as you rolled around on the couch. This took place after a huge argument you both had about both of you not being at the same level. 

You two were definitely bonding right now and he was trying his hardest not to rip your hair out right now. If he was going to be even more violent, he would drag you around by your pubic hair. He wasn’t that crazy though..hopefully. 

You were still rolling around on the couch but you let out a small yelp when Bakugou’s aura suddenly changed. You stared up at him with your laughter slowly getting quieter and quieter. 

He had blown up the toy and the small prize in there was a small All Might keychain. He didn't completely break the toy because the thing was indestructible at this point, but he definitely got the prize. 

Bakugou grabbed your head as he had a small vein started to get bigger on the side of his forehead. It was pulsating which indicated to you that: he was pissed off, time to run. Bakugou grabbed your wrists as if ready to throw you around and spin you and throw you like that one sport called hammer throw. 

But before you know it, when they say never let them know your next move, Bakugou really fits that definition the most. Seconds after he grabbed your wrists you were bursting out in laughter once again, not because you were making fun of Bakugou for the 10th time today, but because you were being tickled.

‘OW KACCHAN GET OFF ME HAHAHA’ Your hysterical laughter was filling the dorm living room as Bakugou was aggressively tickling parts of your body that you were ticklish in. You continued to laugh and kick at Bakugou, hopefully able to kick his balls but he was on top of you on the couch. 

You continued to laugh until you felt something touch your nose. You opened your eyes and there Bakugou was, his nose touching yours because of you kicking him around that he landed so close to you. You blinked as your laughter died down and you were now panting. 

You stared into his eyes before you felt your cheeks were starting to heat up. Maybe as red as Kirishima’s hair but definitely not as red as Bakugou’s eyes staring into your own. 

Your heart was beating loudly that you were afraid that Bakugou could maybe hear it. You gulped gently but Bakugou’s grip seemed a little looser on you now. You snaked your hands out of Bakugou’s hold as you put your hands on his cheeks. 

That aggressive look that he always had when staring at everyone, including you disappeared. The softness in Bakugou’s eyes, you had only seen it a few times when he was staring at you but maybe...just maybe only you were able to experience that look he gave off to you. 

Your noses were still touching one another’s as you tilted your head to the side gently. It looked like Bakugou was leaning in as well but he stopped which made you stop before you could completely close your eyes. The hesitation in his movement was seen as he slowly started moving up. He kissed your forehead gently, holding the back of your head. 

You couldn’t see it but his eyebrows were furrowed and knitted together as he savored the kiss he planted on your forehead. It was silent but still, you could hear each other’s heavy breathing. 

You blinked before still blushing deeply. You buried your face into Bakugou’s neck gently as he took his lips off of your forehead before putting his lips back on your forehead and kissing it again. You closed your eyes tightly because you wanted to kiss him in that moment.

You pulled away slowly and took one of your hands off of his surprisingly soft cheek. You two had fought physically and there was a bandage on one of his cheeks. You kissed the cheek that had the bandage gently as Bakugou seemed to let out a small tsk noise because it hurt a bit. 

‘That hurt stupid.’ Bakugou said aggressively but it wasn’t as harsh as it usually was. Bakugou grumbled as he was still holding the back of your head before sighing softly. You stared at him still as you cupped his cheeks completely again.  You couldn’t see the blush on Bakugou’s cheeks but maybe he was blushing internally, if that was even possible. Bakugou slowly tilted his head first this time, as he was gently starting to lean in first. You felt yourself sinking into the sofa a bit as you were leaning in as well. Your lips brushed up against one another but before you could fully intertwine your lips together:

‘Hey Bakubro! (Y/N)! What y'all up to?” Kirishima popped out from behind the couch as you and Bakugou tumbled off of the couch as you both held your faces in your hands.

‘Huh?’ Kirishima said, obviously dumbfounded as he stared at the both of you who’s faces were as red as his hair. One’s face was red because it was filled with rage and one’s face was red because it was about to have their lips on someone they liked a lot. You could probably decipher which one was which.

Bakugou was definitely scary looking. He was the first to get up and grab Kirishima’s head. “Spiky Hair. You saw nothing.” Bakugou said with his angry eyes as Kirishima let out a nervous laugh.

‘Not sure what you’re even talking about but okay’ Kirishima gave a thumbs up before he and Kirishima started walking away, leaving you there to roll around on the ground this time instead of the couch. 

You let out a weak laugh at the memory you just had but your head continued to flood with memories that just didn’t want to stop coming. You could see the color in Bakugou’s face coming back as it looked like it was working. 

‘Kacchan let’s go to this shop! They said they have the super rare All Might cards! I already invited Izuchan!’ You, a 6 year old was geeking over all might. All three of you through childhood were totally the biggest fans of All Might, put together. 

‘Huh? You invited that stupid Deku?’ ‘Well duh! Why wouldn't I? Bleh let’s just go already there’s gonna be a long line in the store if we don’t hurry! I got money from my sister already-’ You snickered as you grabbed his hand gently. ‘Oi-!’ Bakugou yelled as he was now being dragged away. 

‘Kacchan get off me!’ You, middle schooler was pinned to one of the classroom desks because you had ticked off Bakugou by defining him. You had said something out of line that Bakugou didn’t like.

You kicked at his stomach as he had his hand up to your hip, burning you not by accident but with purpose. You winced when you felt your hip had a burn mark on it. Bakugou let go of you as he threw you to the ground and stomped his foot next to your head, almost accidentally stepping on your head. 

‘You say that to me again, I’ll fucking kill you.’ He said as you held your hip. You still had the burn scar to that day. 

‘You’re weak.’ You, entering into UA was next to Bakugou as you cheerfully were talking about how strong you were getting. You felt your heart sink when Bakugou said it with so much intention. 

‘Huh? Me weak Kacchan? You're weak too!’ You were angry as Bakugou stopped in his tracks. He clenched his fists. “You want to say that again?’ He tempted you as you chuckled. 

‘I know you more than anyone else.’ He raised his hand as soon as you finished that sentence and you flinched, closing your eyes quickly. Bakugou seemed to stop though when you had flinched. He looked at his hand, seeing it was now starting up a bomb. Suddenly he remembered the injury he gave you on your hip and stopped. 

‘Whatever.’ Bakugou said as he grabbed your head. ‘Don’t ever talk to me again, you little emotional shit.’ Bakugou said before walking into UA alone. You looked at the back of his head and suddenly the panic filled your chest.

You fell to the ground on your butt as you rubbed your chest to make sure that you were still breathing. 

And just like that, blood was trickling from your mouth. You put your hand to your mouth slowly as you let out another weak laugh. “We’re almost done Kacchan” You were back in the present as you continued to cough up blood. He was breathing now and his heart was repaired. He was just passed out now. You could see that his body was healing of all injuries. 

“He’s...alive.” You realized as you let out a small sad laughter out of happiness as tears were now tiredly falling from your cheeks. Some traces of blood were in those tears as you laughed softly, sad that you knew you weren't going to make it. You weren't going to get to see Bakugou live out his success and hard work.

“He’s okay All Might. Izuchan. Mitsuki-san. Masaru-san.” You continued to list off the people that cared about Bakugou so dearly. “Kirishima-kun. Kaminari-kun. Ashido-chan,” You cried more out of relief as you weakly bent down and put your forehead to his. “[Y/N]” You whispered your own name. You had to get him to safety before he could wake up. 

You couldn’t get up that easily but you pushed yourself to get him far away from the battle as soon as you could. You struggled but dragged his body to a safer area before collapsing next to him. You coughed and coughed as your body was losing its color. You slowly reached out to Bakugou and put your hand on his. 

“Kacchan...” You whispered as you smiled softly at his resting form. “Kacchan I never got to tell you..how much I loved you.” You spoke softly to him as you rubbed his hand gently, feeling his pulse and his heart steadily now beating. 

You couldn’t stop smiling. With memories that were sad and happy filling your head you were going to be okay. Bakugou was going to be okay now because of you. “I technically won this time Kacchan” You whispered. “I won because I saved you...” Win to save. You always liked the thought of Midoriya being Save to Win and Bakugou being the opposite of that. 

You looked at the heroes who were fighting as Aizawa seemed to grab hold of you in his arms, his worried look filling his eyes feeling how limp your body was. “Sensei...” 

“[Y/N]! What did you do? Get a hold of yourself! Best Jeanist told me-” “I can do it.” You reassured your teacher that had taught you as much as he could. He cared about all of his students. Including you.

“I can do it.” You said the same thing that you told Best Jeanist as you smiled at your teacher before looking at Bakugou. “Don’t let him find out sensei..who saved him. He’ll feel guilty.” You still tried to reach out to Bakugou and be close to him while he still had his eyes closed. Your eyes closed gently as you let out a small sigh. Trying not to live your last breath yet, you still had so much to say.

“He’ll be awake soon Aizawa-sensei...” You coughed up more blood as Aizawa’s eyes widened. “I love Kacchan” You had to tell everyone. Tell everyone you could.

“Win to Save.” Slowly, the world was now black.

2 WEEKS LATER

THIRD PERSON’S POV

“Get these off of me I'm fine now!” Bakugou yelled as all of the students were gathered around him. He had a lot of wires on him to get his vitals. Bakugou shook his head as he grumbled.

Bakugou had to be somewhere and it was definitely not here with these extras was what he was thinking. He rolled his eyes as he got up from the dorm living room couch. “You keep touching me and I’ll blow all of your balls off.” He said as if he was only directing that towards the boys in the room. It was also directed to the girls.

Bakugou saw Aizawa eyeing him as he started getting up. “I wonder when [Y/N] is gonna come back. It’s been 2 weeks now since the last time we saw them.” Kirishima said, oblivious to what had happened to them.

“Yeah I haven’t seem them ever since..that fight.” Kaminari sighed as he shrugged his shoulders. Aizawa gave a good excuse as to why they weren't here and the students believed it. That was because only Bakugou knew.

Bakugou grumbled. “I got shit to do today. Don’t follow me.” Bakugou said as he flipped everyone off and was already out going with Aizawa since he had given him the signal to follow him.

“Have fun training with Aizawa-sensei!” One of his classmates said as they were now getting to what they were originally doing, hanging out in the living room and hopefully living as normal teenagers for once.

Midoriya wasn’t amongst those students though because he secretly was following Bakugou, again. Bakugou hadn’t noticed the many times Midoriya had known already what Bakugou and Aizawa were actually up to.

Aizawa had told Midoriya what happened as well because he also deserved to know what happened to his childhood friend and why they weren’t here. Bakugou grumbled as he started walking faster but Aizawa made sure he didn’t go too far off. He put one of his little ribbons on Bakugou’s wrist, as if putting a leash on a dog.

“Midoriya you can stop following us.” Aizawa said slowly as Bakugou seemed to stop in his tracks. A yelp was heard as a green haired broccoli looking boy emerged from the wall he was standing behind. Bakugou’s eyes widened as he looked back.

“You can join us since you already know.” Aizawa said as Bakugou clenched his fists. “How long has he fucking known? Why is he even following us in the first place? Why didn’t you tell me?” Bakugou asked Aizawa, a bit betrayed by the fact that another one of his childhood friends was trying to watch over him. He was tired of worrying people and getting so much softness to him. He hated it.

“What actually happened to [Y/N]chan, Kacchan?” Midoriya asked as the hurt could be seen on his face. He deserved to know too. He was their childhood friend too, was he not?

“That’s none of your business, Deku.” Bakugou said but even so, his relationship with Midoriya was improving day by day. Knowing where he suddenly got his quirk, the person that they looked up to the most as kids alongside [Y/N], he knew that he couldn't hide the sad truth for long.

Midoriya clenched his fists as he walked up to Bakugou. “I deserve to know Kacchan.” Midoriya said as he grabbed Bakugou’s collar, because Bakugou wasn't looking at him. Aizawa who still had a ribbon leash on Bakugou’s wrist didn’t stop this from happening. He knew of all people that the childhood friends needed closure. 

“Let go of me-” “Not until you tell me what happened to [Y/N].” Midoriya interrupted quickly. He could see the hurt on Bakugou’s face every time he mentioned their name. Every little thing that reminded Bakugou of them made his heart hurt. 

“They’re..fuck. I don’t fucking know Deku. I don’t know if they’re alive or not. I don’t fucking know if they’ll ever open their eyes because of me.” Bakugou said as he looked down at the ground, defeated.

Midoriya’s eyes widened. “So..they’re still physically alive.” Midoriya said as he slowly let go of Bakugou’s collar. Aizawa decided to pipe in now. 

“You’ve been following us for a long time Midoriya and I’m surprised Bakugou never noticed. We’ve been visiting them and their condition is still a straight line. Not getting worse, not getting better.” Aizawa explained as Midoriya’s eyes teared up hearing the news of their childhood friend. 

“So that excuse of [Y/N] being gone for two weeks on a mission wasn’t true at all...I knew it would’ve been a bluff. They wouldn’t leave in the heat of the battle. I knew there was something off about it.” Midoriya mumbled to himself as Bakugou clicked his tongue. 

“Whatever. Let’s just go already. I can’t waste another fucking second.” Bakugou said as he started walking to the hospital that his childhood friend was. Aizawa and Midoriya trailed behind. They could see the grief that Bakugou was feeling. Aizawa was there when Bakugou first reacted to the news as to why [Y/N] wasn’t around. Midoriya having heard that conversation as well due to eavesdropping, he left at the moment where Aizawa explained to Bakugou that they were fighting for their life in the hospital.

“Where the fuck are they?!” Bakugou, being on the hospital bed had been asking for the millionth time to all the heroes in the room. He was patched up and healed. He wasn’t getting an answer though which made him start to get up from the bed and break stuff but what stopped him was Aizawa wrapping his ribbons around Bakugou’s still recovering body.

After Bakugou woke up from being revived by his childhood friend, he didn't know why he wasn’t where he had passed away for a few minutes. Bakugou though was unharmed and confused yet he continued to fight without a question. 

At the end of the battle, as his classmates and pro heroes who joined the fight gathered around, there were two people missing that he noticed right away. His teacher and [Y/N]. He didn't question it thinking that they were going to come back a little later than everyone else, but seeing that Aizawa only came back with himself, was when Bakugou realized that something bad must've happened  to them.

Now, here Bakugou was questioning the same thing, asking everyone where they were but still there was no answer until Aizawa finally broke loose of it. 

“They’re going to be okay Bakugou.” Aizawa reassured. “You need to calm down if you want me to explain what happened.” 

“You could’ve fucking did that when I first asked?” Bakugou said aggressively as he was seated on his hospital bed. Aizawa looked at all the heroes in the room and nodded softly to them, ushering them to leave. 

Once finally alone, Aizawa untied Bakugou and looked down at his hands. Bakugou was fidgeting and holding his hands so tightly that he was scraping little cut marks on his hands from how anxious he was. 

Aizawa put a hand to Bakugou’s head. “Win to Save.” Aizawa said simply as Bakugou’s eyes widened instantly. 

“What...What did you just say?” Bakugou asked as Aizawa repeated it. “No. No I heard you the first time damnit.” Bakugou said as his eyes were filled with rage and sadness. 

“Those were their final words until they stopped breathing.” Aizawa whispered as Bakugou was trying hard not to be mad. He didnt know whether to be mad or sad. He didn't know whether he should punch Aizawa right now or to hurt himself. 

“But...in time we managed to get them to breathe again.” Bakugou could feel his shoulders tensing up as he looked up slowly at Aizawa who was now giving the good news. 

“They saved you. I wasn’t there when they said it but...I know [Y/N}’s intentions are to win and save” Aizawa said. “That is the difference between you three. Midoriya is Save to Win, You are Win to Save, and they...well they’re Win and Save.” Aizawa said.

“They repaired your organs by taking their own life energy and putting it into you. Though it was reckless, it was probably the only thing they could think of.” Bakugou clenched his fists as he seemed to be starting to cry without actual tears falling yet. 

Aizawa continued to explain, “They said they can do it.” Aizawa whispered. “At first I didn’t know what they meant by that, having already saved you. They already did it. But...I think what they meant by I can do it was, they can live. They can live again.” Aizawa said as he rubbed Bakugou’s head. 

“So I need you to be there for them when they open their eyes again. The first thing they'd want to see, is you, Bakugou.”

Finally making it to the hospital, Bakugou Midoriya and Aizawa all went to the front desk to check in and see the patient that was stationed there.

The front desk lady had a smile on their face. “Same room, awake.” 

Aizawa blinked before he instantly looked at Bakugou who was already running to [Y/N]’s room without a second thought.

Aizawa and Midoriya didn’t try to stop Bakugou from going to the room alone. Midoriya would’ve went with but he knew that the two needed their time alone. They loved one another and even Midoriya could see it as a kid. Aizawa sighed, “Such troublesome kids. It’ll be your turn eventually to go see them” Aizawa said.

Midoriya chuckled as he shook his head. “I kind of want to visit another day Sensei” Midoriya whispered as he started walking out of the hospital. “I’m really glad they saved Kacchan.” Midoriya said as the sliding door to the entrance of the hospital opened and he was gone.

Aizawa hummed. “Me too” Aizawa said more towards himself before he sat in the waiting room, waiting for his feral student to be back with his reckless student. Aizawa definitely had a big contract in students and it was surprisingly something he wasn’t complaining about.

Bakugou tossed the door open as he was panting, his shoulders going up and down as he stared at the view he was getting of [Y/N] sitting there, looking out the window.

SECOND POV

You were holding a small book in your hand, small drawings were plastered on each page as you traced your fingers across the roughness of the paper. The doctors recommended you look at picture books to ensure that you were back to reality.

You hadn’t looked at anyone that wasn’t Bakugou. The doctors, the nurses, anyone of the patients that came to visit out of curiosity seeing a lot of doctors come in. None of them were Bakugou and you knew they weren’t without even staring at them.

You looked out the window before wanting to get up but you still felt the weakness in your body. Instead you sat up slowly and put the pillow behind your back as you watched the leaves from the trees fall due to the wind blowing them off of the tree.

As if saying goodbye to the tree, the leaves flew to the ground. You had heard the door open roughly but still you didn’t look at who it was. But the heaving breath of a male filled your ears as a slow blink left your eyes.

You slowly turned your head away from the window to intertwine your eyes with who was at the door. Your eyes landed on who you wanted to see first when you woke up. You blinked slowly again but this time out of pure confusion before you realized that it was him.

It was Bakugou Katsuki. Childhood friend. Win to save. All might admirer. Bully. Crush. Lover. Everything in him. He was there, every piece of him wasn’t gone. Still your eyes couldn’t leave him but it looked like he was getting bigger and bigger with every blink you were taking.

Finally he was close by you and soon his hand was against your cheek. You looked up at the male as your eyes seemed to tear up almost instantly when you saw him up close. No words could escape your lips but your lips were pressed against his.

Bakugou had kissed you as if there were no tomorrow. No forever. No promise me you’ll be alive tomorrow. This moment right here, had been something you were waiting for.

Bakugou’s lips moved against yours, as he had one of his knees on the bed, the other leg still straight and on the ground. Bakugou continued to kiss you, as if he were eager to feel all of you, to make sure that you were still alive.

And just for a second to breathe, he pulled away before he kissed your lips once more, deeper and much more relaxed than rushed. You felt yourself melt into the kiss that you had been waiting for. You weakly wrapped your arms around Bakugou’s neck, but he stopped your from moving any further.

He grabbed your hands gently, and held them with so much intention, every touch, every little movement he savored. He would never take it for granted again, ever.

Bakugou continued to kiss you but you were already losing your breath. You just woke up an hour or so ago and you were still getting used to the fact that you were alive.

Bakugou could sense that you couldn’t breathe so he pulled away slowly. He looked at you and panted before pressing his forehead against yours. You closed your eyes as you cried softly. He was still holding your hands gently, still scared that would disappear at any moment. 

“You do that again and I’ll be the one to kill you next time.” Bakugou said, even if technically he did kill you. He had that title now officially that he had ended your life for hours to count. You saved him and he wasn't going to let that slide at all.

You nodded softly as he held the back of your head, holding you ever so dearly in his arms. He couldn't let you go for even a second. He hadn't seen you in what 2 weeks awake. He only saw you sleeping for the last 2 weeks and now that you were finally, he knew he could admit it now that he loved you. 

“[Y/N]” he said which indicated that he wasn't joking because he said your name with such a soft tone. He didn’t call you those dumb nicknames that he gave to everyone. Instead he called your name. 

“I love you.” Bakugou whispered. “I love you you dumb fucking idiot. I love you and you aren't going anywhere. I’m not going to let you die..not this time.” Your eyes softened as you felt yourself relax in Bakugou’s hold. 

He rubbed your back gently but gave it a small pinch to make sure that you weren't dreaming, which you knew this wasn't a dream. You two loved one another without even having to say the three words that everyone says. 

You slowly pulled away though as you cupped Bakugou’s cheeks. As if telling him that you were alive and for him to not feel guilty for what happened to you just recently, you knew that he was going to hold that burden for a long time. 

Bakugou stared down at you, confused because he couldn’t just read your mind just like that. Bakugou rubbed his cheeks against your hands as you hadn't said a word at all ever since he got in the room. He wanted you to talk. To make sure that you were still you.

You waited a bit before your mouth opened. “I was ready to die” You admitted as you pressed your forehead to Bakugou’s and continued to explain. “I didn't know any other ways to save you but I panicked..I didn’t want to see the potential number one hero to die. I didn't want to see Dynamight-”

“All you’re spitting out right now is utter bullshit.” Bakugou interrupted which made you freeze up. You looked even more guilty but Bakugou noticed that and held your shoulders as he continued as well.

“So I can't die but you can? That’s stupid. You think I would let that just happen? You have your own goal too. You always save me it gets annoying.” Bakugou said some harsh words but it was out of care for you. It wouldn't be fair if it was you who had to die and not him.

“Don’t think that I wouldn't do the same thing for you if it were you in my position at that time stupid.” “But you wouldn't be able to repair my organs you’ll blow them up because of your quirk” “YOU KNOW WHAT I FREAKING MEAN” “OW STOP YELLING” You both bickered back and forth as Bakugou shook you by your shoulders. 

You grumbled when Bakugou finally stopped. “When are you going to let me save you?” Bakugou asked, as if it slipped out and was out of his character, he didn't seem to notice that he was speaking his mind right now. 

You couldn't help but like this side of Bakugou that he only presented to you and no one else. No one else was allowed to see this side but you and you knew that he wouldn't show it to anyone else. 

“Kacchan you always save me.” You reassured as he took a seat on your bed, scooting you over gently because you were still weak. You sat on the other edge of the bed as the two of you talked things out and some of the events that you missed while you were still out cold.

“Yes you bullied me. But we were childhood friends and we still are. I admire you...that’s what saved me.” You smiled softly as you held Bakugou’s hands. “You saved me by being with me. You were a tough person to still be around but we loved each other too much yeah? You can even admit it yourself right now!” You chuckled as Bakugou put his hand on your face, as he crushed it gently while you were still laughing loudly.

You removed his hand and gently crushed it which made him have a shocked look. “How the fuck are you gripping my hand so tightly right now didn't you just wake up you panda-” “Just because I have eye bags doesn't make me a panda Kacchan-” You hit back as Bakugou grumbled which only made you laugh harder. 

“Best Jeanist was trying to repair your heart but seeing you there...laying on the grass made me scared.” You admitted. “We grew up together and I learned to love you.” You put your hand to your chest, already feeling your heart was ready to explode out if your chest due to how fast it was beating.

“Hey- calm down that fucking monitor is going insane because of you.” Bakugou pointed out the heart monitor that was beeping fast. You were literally about to go into cardiac arrest it looked like as you blushed even more remembering that you were still in the hospital, hooked up to many machines that could track what you were feeling. 

You quickly tried to calm down but your heart was still beating so loudly as Bakugou smirked. “What? The cutie is trying to explain how much they love me, their heart is about to explode?” Bakugou teased as you gently punched Bakugou’s shoulder, while Bakugou was letting out small smug laughters.

“I still can’t forget many things that we put each other in. You burning my hip. Me kicking your balls countless times because of how much of an asshole you are.” You said before placing your hand on Bakugou’s heart. 

“I will always save you.” You said. “No matter what I will save you. You have to do the same though alright?” You grinned as Bakugou scoffed. 

“I already do that. You said so yourself that I’ve saved you. What's with the win and save? You won because you saved me?” Bakugou asked as you thought of it for a bit before nodding softly. 

What Bakugou was saying was true. You won because you saved him, therefore that was why you were ready to go so soon because you felt achieved. 

“Stop with the bullshit about you sacrificing yourself for me.” Bakugou said, as if reading what was going through your mind. “You didn't- I wasn't even dead anyway.” Bakugou said, denying that you saved him 2 weeks ago which brought a smile to your face.  “You really still are Kacchan huh” You rubbed Bakugou’s head which made him pull away, making a huge HAH sound because he didn’t like that you complimented him but deep down he really enjoyed it a lot. 

He put his hand on your hip as you blinked when he did. You remembered what was there and put your hand on top of Bakugou’s. “You still have it huh?” Bakugou asked as you nodded. “Yeah you burning me? Definitely still have it-” “Shut up-” Bakugou sighed as he hugged you gently.

You didn't expect a sorry from him. Of course you wanted to hear the words come out of his mouth, but you knew him too well to expect that from him. Even if one day that could happen, this was a part of your life. 

You wrapped your arms around Bakugou again and buried your face in his neck. His heartbeat was steady. Part of you was in him, at most all of you was in him and he was okay because of you. 

“You’re fucking alive.” Bakugou said as he kissed your forehead, his eyebrows knitting like that one memory before. The reason behind it was because he was glad that you were in his arms. Back then and right now. 

“Kacchan.” You called out again and he hummed as if you were asking him something again. “You’re a lot calmer than you were months ago” You pointed out as Bakugou pulled away, ready to blow shit up. 

“STOP BRINGING MY SOFTNESS UP” “HAHAAHAH” You laughed before coughing gently. Bakugou panicked and held his hand to your chest. You panted softly but smiled. 

“I’m still a bit weak but it’s always fun being around you Kacchan.” “You sound like you’re gonna die again you better shut up and just let me hold you.” Bakugou said as you shook your head with a reassuring smile. 

“Remember? I can’t die unless you kill me next time.” You grinned. “I don’t plan on leaving Kacchan because he’s lonely” You said in a teasing tone. 

“Ugh whatever.” Bakugou said as kissed your nose before biting it. “You owe me those 2 weeks. You were gone for that long you might as well.” You chuckled softly as you nodded. 

“I always want to be with you.” You whispered as Bakugou laid down next to you. “Never again will I leave Kacchan.”

“Yeah...I guess the same goes for me, who else would be worthy of marrying me anyway-” “MARRIAGE?” “FUCK- I MEAN GO FUCKING TAKE A SHIT” “WAIT WHAT” You and Bakugou were now wrestling again while laying down which was pretty difficult. 

Bakugou pinned you down gently as his face was pretty red this time. You could see the eye bags under Bakugou’s eyes though as your eyes seemed to drift all around Bakugou’s face. 

You rubbed your thumb against under his eyes before bringing him down gently and kissing him softly this time. Bakugou instantly returned the kiss.

You pulled away first and kissed under his eyes gently. 

“I’m alive, alright?” You said as Bakugou hummed. “It’s pretty obvious that you are.” You were a smiling mess. You definitely missed being awake. 

“Of course.”

EXTRA

“They fell asleep” The doctor informed Aizawa as they both walked into the room where Bakugou and you were sleeping on the same bed. 

“Sir?” The doctor wondered why Aizawa had taken out his phone and snapped a picture. The doctor covered their mouth and let out a small laugh.

“Ah I see, they’re together aren’t they?” 

“They are now,” Aizawa said as he sighed softly. “They belong together.”

I Wanna Be More Than Friends by @2tiedships2

He hadn't meant to scent Harry. They were best friends and that was it. Scenting best friends wasn't exactly socially acceptable.

"Lou," Harry whispered.

Louis jumped at his name and sat up straighter to provide a bit of distance between himself and Harry.

"You can't scent me, Lou," Harry stated.

Which of course Louis couldn't scent him. They were best friends.

"I mean," Harry continued. "I wouldn't mind exactly, but if I can't scent you, I don't think you should scent me."

"What do you mean you can't scent me? I mean, I get it because we're best friends but..."

"I mean I can't smell you, Louis. I fucking can't smell you. I can't smell anything, okay?"

Or the one where Harry’s an alpha with no sense of smell, Louis’ an omega who isn’t allowed to scent his best friend, and that’s all they’ll ever be. Obviously.

I'll Fly Away by @juliusschmidt

Harry and Louis grew up together in Lake County, Harry with his mom and stepdad in a tiny cottage on Edward’s Lake and Louis in his family’s farmhouse a few minutes down the road. But after high school, Louis stuck around and Harry did not; Harry went to Chicago where he found a boyfriend and couple of college degrees. Six years later, Harry ends up back in Edwardsville for the summer and he and Louis fall into old patterns and discover new ones.

Harry Styles was eight years old when Louis Tomlinson kept him from falling into a machine in a Manchester textile mill.

He was 18 years old when nothing, not even the threat of death, could keep Harry from falling in love with Louis.

It was another typical quiet night, nothing but the rustle of leaves and the bird crow now and then. Neve stealthily climbed over the concrete wall and landed on the grass beneath, making sure to stay as silent as possible, though as soon as the single ray of light was shown on her she knew she had been busted.

It wasn't uncommon for Neve to sneak out during the night as she found peace in the moon guiding her paths and it was a way to push back the thoughts of her mother shipping her away to be forgotten about. Neve knew that her roommate, Violet, who was a moody girl and always gave her the cold shoulder, hated it because it would wake her up, but Neve didn't care.

Though, at this moment, the headmaster stood, a flashlight in his hand and a deep frown smeared on his face, Neve slightly regretted not listening to Violet's multiple pleads not to sneak out, but it was already too late for that.

"Miss Moore, this is the final straw. Tomorrow morning, you will have all your things packed to be sent home!" The headmaster said in a loud authorising voice.

And just as he said, Neve stood at the gate with all her items and clothes packed away in suitcases with almost all the students watching with mixed stares. Some were envious of her being able to leave, some sad to see her go, some confused as to why she was leaving, and then there were the eyes of the freckled boy who had been her first friend. Those eyes had emotions she could never forget.

The security guard bumped her shoulder slightly, signalling it was time to leave. Neve tiredly waved goodbye to everyone and turned away, leaving through the gate with the security guard following. The pair hopped inside the back of the nurse's car who was nice enough to drop them off and shared no words the whole ride.

At the train station, he finally spoke. "I'm sure you'll be able to see your friends again," he said with a warm smile.

Neve nodded her head, thankful for his reassuring words, though she doubted that was very likely. The train ride to the airport was filled with comforting conversations that Neve was sure she'd be able to remember for the rest of her life. It reminded her of when she first met him; he introduced himself with a kind expression and said: "Hey there, I'm Viktor, nice to meet ya" and just like that, he had become like the uncle she always wanted.

The girl stared at the rush of people that had suddenly appeared all around the streets out of the train window. For some reason, everyone seemed to be in a panic and Neve couldn't help but feel her heart start thumping a little harder. All the other passengers started noticing what they assumed was a riot forming and were all confused as well as slightly worried.

Those were the last moments of peace that Neve felt before screams and shouts echoed throughout the train. Viktor clasped his hand around Neve's in an attempt to calm her down but nothing could stop the rhythmic beats her heart was playing.

"Morning everyone, this is your driver speaking, I'd just like to inform you that we will be making an impromptu stop as there have been a multitude of problems around the train station, so if you all could in an orderly fashion..." he spoke through the intercom. His words were cut off, screams instead replacing them, resulting in a panic of people throughout the train.

Viktor clasped Neve's suitcase in one hand, tightened his grip on her in the other, and quickly began moving down the aisles towards one of the emergency exits. The two reached the exit along with a couple of other passengers, hurriedly opened the door, and jumped onto the railway. Now in the open world, they were able to hear the screams of terror throughout the city along with multiple gunshots coming from all directions.

"Do you guys know what's going on?" One of the passengers, a man, asked.

No one spoke up until someone eventually checked their phone and said, "There's no explanation... it just says to stay inside and avoid all contact with infected individuals."

Neve looked up at Viktor and noticed him focusing on something further down the railway. She followed his gaze and froze as she saw what looked like a rotted person slowly trudging towards the group.

The hairs on the back of her neck raised, her heart stopped beating for a moment, and she heard a muted scream in her head. Limbs shaking, she took a pathetic step back, Victor’s solid grip keeping her from fleeing. 

"We need to leave and go somewhere safe," Viktor quickly said, alerting the rest of the group. "Does anyone live close to here and have a car that we'll be able to use?"

"Maybe we could go back to the school," the young girl offered in a hopeful voice.

Viktor sternly shook his head at her suggestion. "Sorry darling, but I don't think we should. It'd probably be best to get out of West Virginia and hope some other place is free from this."

Neve slumped but understood that Viktor knew better than her so she listened to him. The rest of the group all nodded their heads and started moving slowly towards the forest where some lady lived.

The trees around the group danced with the wind, reminding Neve of the school and how peaceful it was during the night. Then she remembered how all her friends were left there and possibly stuck. She wouldn't be surprised if the teachers left because most of them only cared about themselves and never even wanted to be there in the first place.

She then decided that no matter what, she'd go back there even if it took ten years.

Madara Uchiha (Naruto) Chapter 1

Being a student at Konoha High had a lot of interesting situations. For the most part your entertainment came from the antics of others. You were pretty average. You received reasonable grades, lived a fairly normal life. Your code for life was to avoid standing out. If you did that, then you could steer clear of unnecessary threats. People didn’t like differences, it made them weary. So you always told yourself to never color outside the box. It was safer inside. You were safer inside.

At least that was the plan.

“Check out the orphan!!”

You heard a grunt from ahead. When you saw the blond haired teen’s body hit the ground, you gripped your bag tighter. This was nothing new. You’d see that boy often. He was the school’s delinquent. Always causing a ruckus. Always with the same group of friends. Yet today he appeared alone.

“You don’t have to engage. Just keep walking."

This voice always appeared when you tried to challenge yourself. You could leave unscathed if you just mind your business. So you turn with every intention to exit.

This wasn’t your battle.

“I guess he really is alone.”

You froze at your contradicting mind. One of them moved closer, just as the blond was about to get up. He looked pretty beaten. It made sense. There were three of them. This wasn’t a fair fight.

“Leave him alone.”

Your voice stopped the bullies, and Naruto lifted his head. He was still somewhat kneeling on the floor. Nose bleeding. You walked over, and the male in front of you just wore a wide grin.

“Are you his girlfriend or something?”

You didn’t respond.

“Did you hear me!!”

You were doing your best to keep a neutral expression in hopes that they would get bored and leave. That did not work the way you hoped. He raised his fist, and you flinched. Closing your eyes, you prepared for the hit.

“It’s cowardly to attack vulnerable people.”

The man that grabbed the bully’s hand wore a cold look. Your eyes took in the familiar dark hair.

“S-Sensei..”

Madara’s hardened look was trained on the males.

He released the boy, and he went scrambling off with his friends. Your attention strayed to the teen on the ground.

“A-Are you alright?”

He stood, scratching his head with a laugh.

“Of course, dattebayo!”

Even after the beating he took he was still smiling.

“Next time I’ll win.”

You could barely believe what you were hearing.

“If those boys bother you again, let me know, Naruto.”

Naruto saluted.

“Hai Sensei!!”

It was weird to you. Why was he so happy?

“Thanks for the save, see you later!” Naruto took off before you could say much. For a moment you could only stare.

“I’ve never seen you get involved with anything. It was pretty brave of you to stand up for someone you barely knew. Pretty gutsy.”

The last thing you expected was the praise.

At that moment, something changed.

For the first time in your life, living inside that box didn’t feel unappealing.

A parody of the #countrybears Disneyworld, after being "freed" from his butler duties (cause he's so kind to do anything even for someone worse than kaos, so he somehow still does assistance even though not being hired anymore) Glumshanks goes back to his Troll hometown and gets the opportunity to do what he missed but also what he couldn't achieve before. Like performing in a Jamboree with his childhood friends (inspired by the troll Npc from #mirrorofmistery ) while his current friends are the audience. #skylanders #skylanderstrapteam #country #jamboree #thecountrybears #disneyanimatronics #countrybearsjamboree #saloon #skylandersglumshanks #troll #gillpeople #bringbacktheskylands #mabu #animalcrossingwolf #portalmasterplayer #sharpyxrosy #childhoodfriends #skylandersflynn #skylanderscali #skylandersbuzz #skylandersadventurepack #snagglescale #skylandersnpc https://www.instagram.com/p/CpSOLRZIQk8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
