#even Bakugou didn’t know they knew each other as kids

[poly-space-nerds]

hmmm thinking about Todoroki and Midoriya being childhood friends where they promised to marry each other so that todoroki could protect midoriya from bullies and he protects todoroki from his dad but one day todoroki just vanished and he doesn’t hear from him again until they end up in UA.

cue todoroki not wanting to get close because he’s still consumed by anger at his father and thinks Izuku won’t want to be his friend anymore since he’s changed so much and ignores him. Midoriya is hurt yet can’t stop thinking about him and the scar on his eye. i.e. they don’t interact in season 1. then sports festival happens and todoroki tells him everything. Midoriya is obvious like ‘i’m always gonna be your friend’ and ‘it’s your power isn’t it?’ while Todoroki is ‘i’m sorry’ and ‘thank you’.

The day after the sports festival has ended and everyone is back in class, Todoroki walks into the classroom, eyes set on Midoriya, gets on one knee and proposes. much to literally everyone else’s confusion.

the feeling that i’m losing her, forever.

bakugou katsuki x childhood friend hcs! pt 2

- you’d both met in kindergarten when you had complimented his quirk which had just manifested, and in return, he asked to see yours.

- your quirk wasn’t anything too flashy, you could manipulate the terrain beneath you, or anything that was considered part of earth for that matter. (think of toph from atla).

- he straight up told you that your quirk sucked and so you hit him in the head with a rock. he got set to the infirmary and you had a lengthy chat with your principal about why you shouldn’t use quirks on other students.

- sought you out after that encounter because he liked that you weren’t scared or took what he said to heart because you knew you were good.

- even as a kid he was a cocky little shit so you consistently kept him in his place whenever he started his “forward march and here we go!” chant.

- over time, you two simply just stuck by each other because you were almost always in the same class, so you never really had any reason to ignore the boy, and he found himself not completely hating the feeling of having you right by his side.

- in middle school he found out that you put shiketsu instead of ua down as your top school and he threw a fit because he didn’t want to lose one of the things in his life that was consistent and stable, but got over it when you told him that you’d come visit.

- when he got into ua and you got into shiketsu, your parents joined together and had a celebratory dinner for you both, and he could swear he had never been happier than that moment.

- when your family had to move so you could go to shiketsu, the boy went over and pretended he wasn’t about to cry because truth be told, you were his best friend.

- at first, you’d both called each other almost every night to gain daily updates on how your new lives were treating you, and it was something bakugou had looked forward to after having to deal with those extras all day.

- the first time you guys didn’t check up on each other was the same night that the usj had been attacked by the league of villains, something that you had seen on the news as you immediately dialed up your friend, who texted you that he was just too tired to talk right now.

- the second time was after ua’s sports’ festival, when you called to congratulate him and he just completely ignored the call, no explanation as to why, just instantly getting sent to voicemail.

- you pretended like you didn’t care, obviously you knew he was busy and that he probably just didn’t have the time in between classes and trainings, but then again, you were doing the same things and making time for him, why couldn’t he do the same for you.

one time he accidentally butt dialed you before class had started and when you picked up you could hear the bustling nature and conversations going on in his classroom, the sound of the boy pulling out his seat and sitting down was heard.

“hello? katsuki?” no response.

you recognized izuku’s voice coming into earshot.

“kacchan, i’ve been meaning to ask. how’s y/n doing?” the boys positive attitude even conveyed itself through the phone as you waited to hear how bakugou would respond, because truth be told, you had a major crush on your best friend.

“i dunno.” and you could hear him taking a bite of something, like an apple or something crunchy.

“y/n?! if i didn’t know any better, i’d think you had a girlfriend bakugou!” an unrecognizable voice boomed through your headphones.

“s’not the case. she’s just a friend. i don’t like her like that. always callin’ me and shit, gets annoyin’ y’know?” he grunted as the sound of your bell ringing had filled your ears, you quickly hung up and turned off your phone. pretending that what just happened didn’t sting a bit.

- from there you stopped calling him so much, figuring that if he wanted to talk, he’d call you up first.

- eventually you stopped talking altogether because you stopped starting the conversations, refusing to make him feel as if he had to talk to you.

- bakugou of course was unfortunately a firm believer of “the phone works both ways,” so he never decided to start a conversation up either. matter of fact he refused to ever think of hovering his finger over your contact, instead opting to just tell kirishima about his thoughts.

- when ua moved into the dorms, bakugou had a bulletin board filled up with a variety of different things that seemed so out of character for him, like pictures of him as a kid, pictures of his family, newspaper clippings from the sports’ festival, and a few select pictures of you both through the years.

- the first time kirishima was let into the blonde boy’s room, it was like the first thing his eyes locked onto as he sat down at bakugou’s desk, seeing a genuine smile on his friends face.

“who’s that?” his voiced laced with curiosity as he unpinned the picture, taking it down to show his friend.

“eh? friend of mine.” his reply was short and concise, as if he didn’t want to talk about it. so kirishima just pinned the photo back up, and looked at the rest that littered his wall.

a picture of you both at your kindergarten graduation, a few candid pictures from grade school, and a picture of just you from middle school graduation, but you can tell bakugou took it because a tuft of the spiky blonde hair hung in front of the camera lens and left only half your face visible.

kirishima had to stifle his laugh when he saw a childhood picture of you and bakugou playing in a sandbox, the boy getting sand thrown into his face, and on the back of the photo read “katsuki’s first friend!” clearly something mitsuki had done for him.

- he felt his breath getting separated from his body when he saw you stepping off the bus at the provisional licensing exam, your shiketsu cap taunting him, teasing what could’ve been.

- of course he didn’t miss how your second year classmates all walked with you huddled between them, they’d known of your foul relationship with someone from ua, and as the one of the only first years that were attending the exam from shiketsu, they felt as if they had to protect you.

“oh, look kacchan! she’s here.” midoriya was excited, because after all, you were his friend as much as you were bakugou’s.

“i know.” and that was all he said before angrily walking off, he saw your phone in your hand, he knew it still worked.

he was acting as if he didn’t miss you. and even if his eyes lit up as you essentially dominated the piece of earth terrain, he’d never admit that he wanted his best friend back by his side.

“seiji was eliminated? no way!” you spoke to inasa after the first part of the exam, true disappointment in your voice as you found out bakugou had eliminated your classmate.

“he likes you, y’know.” inasa’s voice was naturally loud, so you weren’t shocked when people’s heads begun to turn at the sound of romance in the air.

“who?”

“shishikura.” all inasa wanted was for his friend to gain the girl he’d been pining for since the first day of school, even if his friend was a certified dick to some people.

katsuki hadn’t once bothered to look your way since you’d gotten to the exam site, but his knuckles were turning white as they gripped the table in front of him.

he didn’t realize it, but he had lost you a long time ago back when he had called you annoying.

LATE SEND . . . todoroki shouto x f ! reader / fluff / both of you are pro-heroes ! / not proofread

note : this is within the universe of my drabble ‘three peas in a pod’ shoutout to anon for helping me name katsuki’s kids (katsuro & suzuki) they’re super cute ! i hc that katsuki lets his kids just run around the agency and getting to hang out with the other heroes.

katsuki’s wife was busy, and he had to tend to an emergency. so today, ‘uncle shouto’ was tasked to pick them up after their kindergarten class.

the two ran up to him, already seeing his two toned hair getting closer. “uncle shou!” katsuro says hugging his leg. suzuki waves happily and hands him her bags, “is too heavy.” she says with a pout.

he helps them with their bags. carrying katsuki’s little girl while his little boy is holding shouto’s hand. but he stops before he could even leave the gates.

“oh! it’s auntie y/n!” suzuki says pointing at you. you had momo’s kid in your arms. apparently the both of you had god parent duties today.

you stand there in shock, before giggling. your niece held onto you tighter because she felt a little shy. “little zuzu and suro, and shou huh?”

“the bakugou’s entrusted me today.” he mentions, and the little ones keep quiet, listening to your conversation. you close the trunk of your car and walk closer to him. you try to bring down momo’s kid on the ground but she wouldn’t let you go.

“and this little one’s mama got sick. but she’s taking good care of her, right baby?”

“yup! i’m gonna be mama’s doctor later!” she beams, and shouto knew his heart skipped a beat from how good you’re handling her.

however, what the both of you didn’t know was that katsuki’s kids are really observant. they knew everything about their mother without her having to tell them—this goes the same with the people they care about.

how their uncle shouto’s hands shake slightly, or how his cheeks get pink. just like how their father gets nervous around their mother.

he didn’t even know he was blushing till little zuzu presses her cheeks against his, “uncle shou is pink!” she says while giggling.

you take a moment before looking at him, you laugh slightly getting shouto feeling a bit abashed, “well i’m getting her home, i hope you guys have fun!“

you turn around and called out to him, “oh shou! i’ll be at the agency later, need some helps on the reports m’kay?”

“got it.” he says with a nod.

you both wave goodbye and shouto walks over to his own car parked a few steps away. helping them at the backseat and then driving off to the agency. “your dad’s probably back right now.”

“i love when uncle shou picks us up!” one of them say, “but we’re not gonna play today right?”

“maybe another time.” they cheer in unison.

“uncle shou?”

shouto sees bakugou’s children from the rearview mirror. they were giggling to themselves and whispering before he responds. “yeah katsuro?”

they continue to whisper and laugh, causing shouto to smile himself, “what’s funny?” it was just a short drive. it was over before they knew it and he parks on the side of the building. he unbuckles his seatbelt and opens the door to the back, that’s when they dropped the question.

“do you like… do you like auntie y/n?” shouto freezes. already recalling how katsuki told them that they’re ‘too smart for their own good ’ when he called him.

shouto smiles curiously, “what made you say that?” together they entered the building, holding them in each hand. the three of them greeting everyone they passed by. how their backpacks made clings and clangs as they skipped.

they went into the elevator and didn’t bring you up for a bit. only until you reach to the top floor and knocked on katsuki’s office. “come in.” his kids already pushing inside and ran up to him. placing down their bags before they jumped in his arms.

“did you have fun?”

they hum and nod, “i think uncle shouto likes auntie y/n!” katsuki grins, already ready to tease his friend, “yeah? tell me more.” as if the blonde didn’t already know.

shouto is internally groaning. he’s seated across them from the couches in the office. they telling their dad about how much shou would blush or how he’s so ‘careful’ when speaking with you.

they got all that from just a conversation?

“really now?” they’re nodding so much from excitement. “ah i think you should help him then.” was what katsuki says before laughing at the fire and ice hero who’s about to short circuit from the embarrassment.

katsuki’s little girl walks over to him. squinting her eyes and making a camera with her hands, “uncle shou is good looking!“

“i think uncle shou should get a girlfriend! maybe auntie y/n likes him too!” katsuro says.

“likes him too? huh?” was what all shouto could think.

suzuki is giggling again, telling her uncle to come closer, “auntie y/n let me play with her phone one time.” she says whispering to him. “don’t tell her! i saw you message her! your name had a heart beside it.”

shouto remembers when you called him the other day but it ended up being suzuki through the other line.

katsuki was definitely enjoying this. shouto tried really hard to leave their little conversation but they wouldn’t let him. eventually they were sleeping a few minutes later.

“haha! they watch romcoms with their mother after all.” katsuki pats him on his shoulder. “just try it out. i think you got a chance. or stay stupid i don’t care.”

it was probably an hour later before you text shouto to meet you at the meeting room.

he takes a deep breath and walks in, seeing you on your laptop with a pile of documents. “oh shou hey!” you motion for him to take a seat beside you.

you two caught two robbers the other day, you just needed him to add in more details that you missed. “those two dumbasses didn’t have their quirks registered right?” you ask him. he nods and scanned through the rest of the report on your laptop. you handed it over to him while you checked on your phone.

however shouto had something he wanted to confirm for himself. and when that familiar ting! from a text goes off from your phone, the notification syncs to your laptop and pop up in a small window of his own text showing on the side of the screen.

shou ❤︎ : i’m on the way. see you. :)

was what it said. he planned this himself, scheduling his message on this specific time, thinking he’d be using your laptop or you’re letting him read off from the screen, ready to use an excuse that his message sent late.

suzuki wasn’t lying when she said he had a heart on his contact name. mentally thanking her for being on his side. (classic god parent favoritism, sorry eiji!)

your eyes widen when you see him shocked himself, sliding your laptop your side and closing it.

“a-ah! the report’s already done by now right? i’ll send it over soon. thanks for your help.” you hurriedly gather your things and try to leave but he stops you.

“hey. let’s talk.” you couldn’t think of an excuse on the spot, so you nervously sit back down to your seat. it’s now or never.

“i… i liked you ever since.”

a small gasp comes out of your lips, “ever since when?”

“during our last year in UA.” you looked at him in shock, but your face softens. realizing he liked you before you did, and you’re the one embarrassed about a little thing.

“i’m happy about the contact name.”

“so what are you gonna do about it?”

“dinner at my place?”

you smile, “alright. but i need to see my contact name on yours first.”

shouto has some good news when he picks those two up again.

do not copy, plagiarize, translate, or repost my works

note : it’s definitely a dry ass contact name pleaseee but don’t worry he has game when he texts cause you text every day >< (i will not elaborate)

I am absolutely so fucking feral and exhausted from witnessing incredible stories get torn to shreds by their endings.

MHA had a perfect set up for the kids to realize that the hero society is corrupt and for them to end up reforming and changing society and even go as far as to disband heroes altogether.

In the show there are constantly themes surrounding ‘you don’t need to do this to be a hero’ and yet, in the end, after all of the pain and abuse and suffering TLOV went through, displayed in full picture for Shouto, Deku, Bakugou, and more to see, the hero ranking system remains.

What is the point of Touya/Dabi’s character if not a bond for Shouto’s development in realizing the grief hero society causes? Or Toga for Uraraka?

What is the point of giving Izuku a quirkless backstory and revolving the arc of “you don’t need a quirk to be a hero” if not for the message in the end to be “you don’t need to be number one to be a hero”?

Why center so many plots and developments around societal corruption and abuse just for the same said corruption and abuse to win in the end? Touya barely alive, forced to be in the presence of his abuser for all that remains of his insufferable life? Shigaraki dead?

All For One was the villain. The villain that could have united The League and Heroes together and make them realize they are not so different from each other. Because again and again MHA humanizes its villains, and villainizes its heroes so what was the fucking point of it if not to unit the two opposing forces for a common enemy? To defeat the real evil of no redeeming qualities. A man of selfishness, corruption, greed. Not the villains! Not the league who treated each other with fairness and kindness and sought only to reform society and not destroy it!!!

Shigaraki didn’t want to level a city!!! He wanted societal change!!!! Touya wanted accountability!!! Toga wanted acceptance!!!!! They all wanted love!! Not destruction!!! All they knew was fear and violence so it’s no wonder that’s the only way they behaved! And yet somehow, somehow, Shouto, a kid knowing only the same violence and fear is unable to sympathize with them? To say to Deku, ‘hey maybe my brother has a point’.

For victims of abuse this ending is so heart breaking. The League of Villains deserved love.

hii! can you write something similar to ur dating deku but ur bkg’s sister but flipped? as in dating bkg but being deku’s sister <3 thank u!!

SORRY FOR BEING SO LATE! I was so busy that I forgot to post this 😭😭😭 but here it is!!! Hope u likeee it

DATING KATSUKI (BEING DEKU'S SIS)

Warnings: just Katsuki being his usual stupid, 'n Deku a brother who love u a lot.

Bro!Deku x Sis!reader, Katsuki Bakugou x fem!reader

_ Well, everyone knows that you've known each other since you were kids. I mean, if Katsuki was Deku's friend, how could he not know you?

_ Your relationship was good, I mean, he was what you called a hero. Silly, right? But can you blame kids? They always see the good side of things. And that's how it was with the blond. You saw him as someone who, despite being a bit temperamental, was your knight in shining armor. He protected you from bad people, he was a true hero, as you said.

_ But of course that changed. You presented your quirk, about a month after him. You were happy, you played together more, you tried to figure out how your quirk worked, great, right? But over time, you could tell that he was developing a feeling of revulsion, maybe? For your beloved brother.

_ You were worried, I mean. It was already past the normal time for people to develop their quirk, and so far your brother hasn't shown any sign of having one. So, when your mother came back from the doctor, you saw her crying, you saw your brother crying. Your first instinct was to run to Katsuki. But as soon as you told him, you saw something change in his eyes.

_ It didn't take long for you to find out that your brother was being bullied, you wanted to kill whoever was doing it. And to your surprise, it was your precious friend Katsuki. Of course, when you asked him why, he said something like "he's scum, that's what he deserves for being born that way" "you're lucky to have a quirk, or you would have to join your brother". After that, you beat him up so much that you had to have about 3 teachers separate you from Bakugou.

_ You warned him many times to stay away from Izuku, but he never listened. You always ended up getting into a lot of fights. Fights that drove your brother crazy with worry, because you always ended up getting hurt. But no matter how many times Izuku asked you to stop, you always said that you would rather die than let anyone touch your brother.

_ It didn't take long for you to go to U.A. What surprised you was your brother's quirk. You just figured he was a late bloomer, that's all. Meanwhile, you could see the blond fuming with rage, not that you cared.

_ On the first day, as soon as you met for the first time, you stared at each other for long minutes. You could tell there was something more in the way he looked at you, something he wanted to say. But he simply stopped looking at you and bumped into your shoulder. Making you angry.

_ The day he was kidnapped, you had a panic attack. The only person who knows about it is Uraraka, she was the one who helped you calm down. You also went with him to save Katsuki, even though your brother didn't think it was safe. You just wanted your old friend to be okay, that's all.

“(Name) I don’t think it’s a good idea for you to go along…it could be dangerous.”

You understood him, really. He was worried, but he had recently discovered his own quirk. You’ve had yours for years, you trained for it.

“Izuku, I trained for years to get into U.A, and Katsuki is someone who has been part of my life for years…you’re not going to be the one to stop me from going to save him.”

He could see the desperation in your eyes, but he was so afraid of something happening to you. He knew that if he didn’t let you go along, you would find a way to go there. So he simply accepted.

_ After saving him, nothing really changed. He was still the same arrogant guy he always was. You often fought, being separated by Kirishima, your brother, or Aizawa. You often got lectured for it.

_ Because you fought a lot, you were often paired up to improve your companionship. And it never worked out, because one moment Aizawa was watching you, and the next he saw Katsuki blowing your face off, and you punching him in the face and pulling his hair.

_ Over time, you learned to live together again. It wasn't that you were best friends, you still fought a lot. But your relationship with him improved to the point where you could work with him without strangling him to death. Not that you didn't want to.

_ The rest of the year was hard for all of you. After Katsuki basically died, and you almost passed away due to a punctured lung, you changed completely.

_ He even apologized to you, which certainly surprised you. But you forgave him, you didn't see any point in resenting him anymore, not after what happened. You started spending a lot more time together after that.

_ Which didn't last long, because Izuku wouldn't let you go. It's not that he didn't trust Bakugou, he just...cared about you. And of course, his clinginess irritated you, which made you fight.

_ As strange as it may seem, it was Katsuki who comforted you, in his own way of course. He basically gave you a portion of the spicy food he had made for himself, and kept telling you how stupid it was for you to cry over stupidity. Neither of you knew it, but that day something more blossomed between you.

_ At first, you only went out together in the company of others, never alone. That changed when you had to do the dorm shopping. You realized that it was much nicer to be alone than to hang out with others. Not that you didn't like them, but everything was so much simpler when it was just with the blond. You liked the comfortable silence between you, as well as the common taste for many things.

_ So, from the end of the second year, you started going out more. Obviously, this didn't go unnoticed by the green-haired boy. Once, he even followed you with the help of Uraraka, Mina and Denki. What went wrong, because Katsuki got angry and blew them up, and you stayed in the corner eating your ice cream, because if you had Bakugou to do the dirty work, why lift a finger?

_ You were as close now as you were when you were kids. When you started calling him by his first name again, even though he wouldn't admit it to himself, he died of nervousness inside. I mean... that should mean something, right?

_ You went on an official date, only after the end of school. Because even though you two were developing feelings that you were too cowardly to admit, you two wanted to focus on the goal of becoming heroes.

_ In the 4 years after U.A, you had a few relationships. Nothing that would leave a big mark on your life, but it certainly did leave a mark on Bakugou's life.

_ When you were 19, you started to distance yourself a little from him. Obviously, this didn't go unnoticed by him. He hated doing it, but he went to your brother to ask why. And when he heard that you were dating, he was (????). How come you were dating? Oh, for some reason he hated your boyfriend.

_ He saw every breakup you had, not that you were close enough for him to know how you felt. But Mina would make everyone go out for drinks, watch a movie, or even stay home, to support you because of the breakup.

_ At 22, a month after your breakup, everything was great, until it wasn't. You were on one of your daily patrols, until by chance you ended up running into your ex-boyfriend, the one who made your life hell when you were dating.

_ You did everything you could to make him go away, and as much as you wanted to send him to hell and beat him up, you couldn't. That's because your PR team would kill you. But like a demon disguised as an angel, Katsuki showed up.

_ He simply came up to you, asking if you were excited about your date today. And to make it even better, he pulled your waist close to his. And of course, he looked at your ex with that mocking face.

_ Then it was hard to explain to your PR team that this was a mistake. Which was denied by Katsuki who said he would take you on a date. He said that, and left you there, open-mouthed along with your team.

_ Of course Mina FREAKED OUT about it. She seemed more excited than you. She literally arranged everything, chose your outfit, hair and everything she thought would look good on you.

_ The date was great, it was at a small spicy food restaurant that you used to go to back in U.A., and of course your fans and his went crazy, that place was packed the next day.

_ One date became two, which became three and then became many. You missed going out with Katsuki, and so did he. Anyone who looked at you could say that you two had never seen so happy in each other's company.

_ It's obvious that your brother didn't like it much at first, not that he didn't trust Katsuki!! But after you had your heart broken several times... he was afraid. He even threatened Katsuki that if he hurt you, he would end ruin hid life (Katsuki took it seriously, especially since you were Deku's sister).

_ After 7 months, you were finally dating. Even though your friends thought you should just get together, you thought it was better to get to know each other again. And it was amazing, every moment. The kiss shared under the cherry tree you used to climb as children, the wonderful meals Katsuki made, every moment you had with him was incredible.

_ At 27, all of his fans found out he was married. That's because, after being away for 3 months and then coming back with a ring in his hand, they started to suspect, and he confirmed it.

_ As strange as it seemed, you wanted to keep the relationship under wraps for a while. You wanted to be able to enjoy each other, without anyone getting involved. And finally, the day you revealed you were married, it was a mess. Your PR team, certainly hate you guys.

_ Of course you had the support of all your friends. All of them talking about you in interviews. Especially Deku, who talked about you as if he were talking about angels (?), he loved to say how much Katsuki loved you, and how even in front of everyone he was rude and annoying, when he was with you he was a cute little cinnamon roll (he freaked out with Deku after that), and also how amazing you were, that you always supported him, and that he knew that if you were there, Katsuki would be in good hands.

_ You loved him, even though he was often complicated and extremely annoying and stupid. And he loved you, even though he often tried to distance himself, even though he tried to run away from love. Your 'n his greatest achievement was your relationship.

HEYYYY! if y'all like it, I can do a fic with the part that bakugou says to reader about the date, then I'll do gender neutral if y'all prefer

OKAY SO I GOT A VERY FUNNY IDEA

Ch kiribakudeku x little reader where she is so tiny in her headspace that she uses pacis and some day she lays her head on daddy bakugou and feels his nipple through his shirt and thinks it's a paci so she just bite in his nipple and he screams and now her other cg run into the room and ask what happened and he says that she bite his nipple and whole kiri laughs his ass off deku ask why she did it and she said innocently "pwaci" thinking that his nipple was a paci 😂😂💖

Pacifier Complications

BakuDekuKiri x Little!Reader

Kind of short didn’t mean for that, hope you enjoy <333

The soft lullaby of Max & Ruby paired with the slow rocking that Bakugou was doing made her sleepy. She knew their tricks even in her headspace where they would get her all cozy and put her to bed. With her pacifier in her mouth she seemed to be falling into that trap.

That was until it fell from her mouth but she didn’t attempt to open her eyes. Instead she blindly searched while Bakugou was none the wiser hiding focus on the kid show. Until he felt something or someone bite his nipple a scream left his lips.

Looking down he noticed the closed eyed little looking up at him with wide eyes. Both of them stared at each other before the rush of footsteps was heard. Midoriya followed by Kirishima rushed into the room, “what happened? Is everything okay? Are we under attack-”

“Shutup Deku, she bit me..accidentally I think she thought I was her paci,” he explained rubbing his nipple.

Kirishima seemed to piece two and two together before howling with laughter. His hand on his stomach as he bent over to grab the couch.

“That’s it laugh it up, I bet my pain is amusing,” he said in a calm tone. Though on the inside he was seething knowing if she wasn’t in his lap he would have said a few things.

Midoriya on the other hand focused on her as he grabbed her fallen pacifier. “Aww she didn’t mean to…did you?”

“Thought it was my pwaci,” she explains taking it from his hand to put it back in her mouth. “Sowwy.”

Midoriya chuckled at her words as Bakugou shook his head, “don’t be sorry it’s okay. I’m fine though Eijirou..I’m not to sure about..”

“What’s that supposed to mean Katsuki?”

“Wait until naptime to find out..”

“You know I wasn’t laughing at you right? Right? Katsuki? I know you hear me!”

Why Deku Won't End up Quirkless (and Why Bakugou will Give him his Quirk)

*obvious manga spoilers through 429* (and of course this is all just my opinion)

I know OFA is gone, but it isn’t completely gone, right? Izuku still has the embers of it. Well, that’s not what I’m talking about. The OFA quirk can’t be passed on again, it's gone, but there’s nothing in canon (afaik) saying that the embers can’t be used to pass on a quirk that someone already has one more time.

Bakugou was given OFA during the events of Heroes Rising, and even though he forgot the events of the movie, he still held the quirk for a brief period of time. 

This means he could have the embers of OFA still inside him.

When Bakugou dies in ch. 362, he sees All Might, but he doesn’t see the man, he sees the vestige. I thought this was just a stylistic choice by Horikoshi when the chapter dropped, but now I think it was foreshadowing. In that chapter, we see that memory of him and Izuku happy to both have gotten All Might trading cards.

In chapter 403 when All Might is near death, he also has a vision. He sees his life play out before his eyes, and when he looks back at his path, he sees lights on the ground and his narration says,  "As for what I've done? I just happened to glance back at my path. And what I saw… seemed so very significant."

If you count the lights on the ground, there are ten of them. The tenth one in the center has explosions around it.

A few pages later, we see All Might holding one of those balls of light as he watches child Izuku and Bakugou with their own balls of light.

This scene All Might watches is the same exact scene as Bakugou’s memory.

Two things are impossible: 1. For Bakugou to see Vestige-Might and 2. For All Might to see a memory that is NOT his own, exactly as it happened.

Remember, as All Might is seeing the two boys, they are all holding the same thing, a ball of light. But in the way this scene played out, the boys were holding All Might trading cards. If they all have the same thing, well, All Might isn’t holding his own trading card. 

If you look back at those ten balls of light on the ground in 403, the biggest one in the center has stars of light around it that look like Bakugou’s explosions. Ten lights for ten One For All holders, with Bakugou as the tenth.

The trading cards aren’t trading cards, they’re One For All.

Right before Bakugou and Izuku’s eye’s meet in 403, we see them as kids holding their cards.

Then that 10th ball of light. Then a close up of Bakugou's hand holding the trading card.

I mean…

Then their eyes meet and they pull off a very coordinated move without needing to communicate.

I prefer it from a “they just know each other that well” angle, but looking back, it’s feels more like possibly the story was trying to foreshadow something to us, like they didn’t need to communicate, because their thoughts reached each other through the OFA crystalline network.

We already have precedent for this kind of memory sharing within OFA. Yoichi showed Izuku his memories of AFO and when Izuku fought ShigAFO, their memories blend together as he transferred OFA to him.

As far as Izuku being able to receive another quirk...

If Nana gave OFA to All Might however long before she died, that means she didn’t lose Float during the transfer. Which means that OFA doesn’t take the original quirk when it’s passed on, it stores a copy. All of the other users died shortly after passing it on, so its capabilities weren’t really tested. Nobody knew that the individual quirks were stored up in OFA in addition to the power stocking, so there was no way to test what the embers would be capable of.

All Might and Izuku are the only two OFA users alive and they’re both quirkless. They have no reason to suspect that the embers could be used to transfer a quirk to someone, because they were both born without quirk factors of their own. They don't have anything to pass on and had no reason to suspect that that ember was anything more than super strength. The ember is all they have left once it’s gone.

Bakugou does have something he can pass on, he still has Explosion. Since he held OFA, there’s a good chance he still has that untouched ember of OFA that’s been lying dormant inside of him. Enough for one more use. And if he does, since OFA is a quirk meant to be passed on, I think he’s going to use that ember, not for the super strength, but as it was always intended, to pass on a quirk. To pass on his own quirk on to Izuku.

I think that’s going to be his ultimate atonement, specifically because he didn’t get a prosthetic when the doctor said, “If he’s still determined to be a hero…” and he turned it down.

Then he mentioned Izuku never had a quirk to begin with. I think this means he can't use his quirk anymore, not the way he used to. Especially since he's shown to be very similar to Mirko, who loves fighting more than anything, but he did the opposite of what she chose.

Then he cried when he found out Izuku was quirkless again—genuinely devastated—and said, “What did I do to you?”

It’s a lot of things: everything in the hospital, his little chat with Edgeshot who’s not back to normal (and the face he made at his response); the new illustration by Horikoshi where we can see his arm is still non-responsive at his side; the fact that his one line in this last chapter was asking about the ember of OFA...

It all makes me think he’s going to give his quirk to Izuku once OFA is completely burned out of him (so Izuku can’t try to give it back, because we know he would); like he's gauging how much of it is left. All Might only held onto that ember for less than a year, after holding the quirk for forty; Izuku held OFA for less than a year, it's probably going to burn out very quickly, and Bakugou probably knows this.

We already know that transfer doesn’t require the recipient to be aware, because of how it was transferred from Yoichi to Kudou, and Izuku would definitely refuse to take it if offered. It would be pretty easy, Bakugou can just spit in his food really.

And narratively, Bakugou doesn’t have anywhere left to go. His story is essentially over and ended when he finished off AFO. In fact, I think he got back up and went out with such a bang (and has gotten very little screen time since), because that was the last time he was going to pursue his pro hero dream (from the standpoint of the author, not the character, who wouldn't know how badly he'd been hurt).

He’s been famous the entire story since chapter one and the entire world watched him take down the most villainous villain to ever villain on live TV. He wanted to be the strongest, but by now he knows that it’s never going to happen for him the way he wanted, and being the person to finish off AFO (with everyone’s help) is probably the highest he could ever go. He’s achieved the dream that he had at the start of the story to the best of his ability. And at the end, his dream shifted to wanting him and Izuku to keep competing at each other’s side forever, but Izuku being quirkless makes that impossible. 

But Izuku being quirkless again is what makes it possible for him to do for Izuku what nobody else but him can: pass his quirk onto him. I think that's why the way to defeat ShigAFO was to give away OFA. Izuku had to be quirkless for the story to end the way it started, but to reverse their roles.

By now, Bakugou’s grown a lot, and for quite a while in the manga his story has shifted to be about Izuku first and foremost, so I think this would be the equivalent of him finally taking that hand that he slapped away when they were kids.

And I kind of think this was what Horikoshi intended from the start, maybe? I know he said something about Heroes Rising being the original ending, I dont know about you, but I never take authors literally and prefer to let their work do the talking. That said, in Heroes Rising, the two boys pass a quirk between them, so this kind of ending would fit. I don’t know the exact quote, but Horikoshi also said something along the lines of hoping Bakugou’s ending would make people who like him and dislike him both happy. I feel like giving up the thing that defines him, his quirk, would do just that.

It's hard to argue that Bakugou hasn't atoned if he gave up the thing that had given his entire life meaning to the quirkless loser he bullied.

If you think about it, Izuku was always copying Bakugou at the beginning of the story, it went on for quite a while until he really made OFA his own. If Bakugou can’t use his quirk anymore, or can’t use his arm anymore the way he used to, and he wants Izuku to not be quirkless, he’s the perfect person to get it. He already knows all of Bakugou’s moves from years of watching him, he learned how to move like him, and his Explosion quirk is the one he’d admired his whole life. I can't imagine Bakugou would want his quirk to go to anybody else, and I think if he had the chance to give Izuku his dream back, after having crushed it for so many years, telling him he could never be a hero, he would take it in a heartbeat.

And then the final point: Endeavor. Bakugou is a parallel to him, but he had his eyes opened and started trying to atone much earlier in life. Endeavor went off the deep end very early in life; he reached the number two spot by twenty, realized he couldn't surpass him, decided to get married, try to have a baby, and by twenty-two Touya was born. Unwell behavior. Bakugou also came to this realization and ShigAFO drove it home even further: he will never surpass Izuku and he never could have surpassed All Might (nobody could, aside from the person he pass OFA onto, and despite meeting All Might the same day, he wasn't the one chosen).

In 426, Endeavor said that he had planned to retire after the final battle was over and that he’d spend every day watching Touya. Hero work was the thing that gave Endeavor pride, it was the only thing that mattered in his life, when his family should have been the most important thing. He gave up the thing that gave him meaning to finally focus on what was important, even if it was too late.

For Bakugou, it's not too late. The thing that defined him as a person his entire life, from the moment it manifested, was his quirk. If he’s a parallel to Endeavor, and if he has an ember of OFA inside him, it would make sense that he’s going to do the same thing and give up the thing that got between him and what mattered most: his friendship with Izuku.

And I think it would be a perfect end to their story if Katsuki ended up quirkless, while Izuku got an amazing quirk; and if the boys who were friends, turned bully and victim, could go back to being normal friends like when they were little.

Do you think Bakugou will give Explosion to Izuku? Do you think he's going to give him his quirk and finally tell Izuku the thing he's always wanted to hear from him, "You can be a hero"?

Do you think Deku will become the first quirkless pro hero instead? (I’d love this, but considering it keeps getting reinforced that you can’t be a pro hero in the MHA universe without a quirk (Mirio taking a sabbatical, Ragdoll, Grandpa Fist), idk… (even though Bakugou genuinely thought Izuku got into UA without a quirk and Izuku had hoped to get into the hero program without a quirk))

Do you think Bakugou could become the first quirkless pro hero?

And here are the ten lights:

(I posted this on Tumblr before, if it sounds familiar, but I think I rambled too much so I just condensed it. Apologies for redundancy ^_^;)

[ugh-to-love-a-boy]

Sneaking!

My old account locked me out, so I decided to remake and repost my old works again on my new Tumblr! @loveing- Eyes will be missed since I spent so much time growing them, but sometimes you have to let go!

EIJIOU KIRISHIMA

• Oh boy, Mina would be the one waiting for sure in the dark, either on your bed or in a chair, waiting to scare you and get juicy details. She had seen Bakugou looking for Kirishima while she was looking for you, and she knew you were off together somewhere.

• But him holding your hand as you two walked in your room, giggling with food coming back from your “first” date, got cut short by Minas squeal, which caused both of you two to jump up a little as you turned on the lights.

•intense interrogation Mina activated, especially knowing you had a crush on him beforehand. She was disappointed to learn it was just a short snack shopping date and felt bad she ruined your movie night, though she was happy her best friends finally realized they liked each other after months of mutual pining.

• left and told most of the girls the news so they could take you to celebrate.

DENKI KAMINARI

Jirou was one of his best friends, so naturally, she knew he liked you, and being one of the girls in your friend group, she knew you liked him back, but she decided to let nature run its course and see if the two of you would get together.

So when the two of you were nowhere to be found, she figured you were somewhere together, and she decided to scare you two by going to your room, turning off the lights, and waiting patiently for you to come back.

• The two of you coming back giggling and holding hands was something she was really happy about, and the two of you not noticing her before he tried to kiss you would forever be burned in her brain, but the cough she would let out, scaring you both to no end, was better.

• She then wouldn’t really pester them for details; she gets the basics. Congratulations to the two of you for realizing you are idiots in love before going back out to tell Momo the details.

SHINSOU HITOSHI

• Mina, being a good friend, found out that one of the girls in 1-A had run out of things, and she knew you had extra, so she had gone to your room to ask to borrow one.

• What she didn’t expect to see was you on your bed making out with a kid from 1-C, and especially not Shinsou.

• She didn’t really question it because the times she had seen him, you were looking at him like the last man on earth.

So she would just let out a laugh, smirking at you two and scaring you both. Even though Shinsou was very smart, he somehow didn’t hear the door open.

• In the middle of the confusion, she would make her way to where you keep things, grab two or three, and smirk at you two again before rushing outside to help her friend in need.

KATSUKI BAKUGO

• Oh boy, not only was Mina waiting, so was Kirishima.

• They both realized their best friend was missing, and it caused Kirishima to admit to Mina that Bakugo kind of liked you, and Mina had told him how you liked Bakugou.

• Though they did search for you two to see if you were just somewhere and they overlooked the two of you, they didn't, so they decided since Mina had a key and you trusted Kirishima that they would just simply wait in your room for them.

• Whoo, they weren’t ready to see you two coming back kissing, like Bakugo picking you up off the ground and carrying you into your room full-on, making out

• They both instantly made their presence known, and Bakugou put you down carefully while glaring at his friends.

• The two would profusely apologize, knowing they ruined a special moment. They wouldn’t really question anything at the moment, but later, like the next day or night, they would go see their respective best friends and get the details of what exactly led up to that moment.

SHOTO TODOROKI

• I feel like Mina and Jirou would realize they haven’t seen Todoroki in a while, and knowing he was your crush, they would be concerned and go try to find you, realizing you were nowhere to be found either.

• They would just stay in your room waiting for you to get back, not in some creepy way, but in some I’m bored and want to wait for y/n type of way.

• They probably would have zoned out talking; they would have forgotten why they went to your room in the first place, which probably confused you even more when you got back from using their money.

• honestly, they would have been happy to see you and shoot Mina a little more static than Jirou showed she was, and after Todoroki would leave, they would most likely go back to your room to know if it was a date or just a friendly hang out.

• spoiler alert It was a date, and half the dorms knew it from how loud Mina got with her squealing.

Bad Track recod! Kiri X reader

Bad Track record! Kiri X Reader 

  !TW !Kirishima angst, Cheating, abuse (Not my art) Hope you enjoy it!!!! 😆 🌺🪷🌻 Kirishima is caught cheating and all hell breaks loose! Shitty summary but it’s good I think…? Sorry I've been gone. I went off the grid for a few months! Enjoy my little angels!!!!

•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º•º

    You and Bakugou had been friends since you moved from America when you were 7. You had grown up with each other, played together, and become very close friends ever since a very young age. You were one of the very few people he could tolerate and even get along with. You moved back to America at the start of middle school to be with your family. But not to worry you would be back when you would start high school. 

When you two found out you would be going to the same school you were super excited.  Too bad it was halfway through junior year. You were supposed to start during freshmen year but you didn’t have the necessary transcripts and thus had to spend the last two years and a half making up credits.  What would he look like,  Would he have grown up and out of his wanting to be Almight, and want to forge his own path?  Would he even recognize you?

      When you got to school you imminently made direct eye contact with him and his heart dropped. You were gorgeous! Absolutely stunning.  You were taller and you matured impeccably. Without even thinking you eminently walked over to him ignoring Mr. Aizawas introduction to you and you gave him the biggest hug. He was so in love with you he had always been so when he found out you had started dating his best friend he was heartbroken. 

      

He told Kirishima “f you break her heart I will take her, she is mine and always has been, fuck up once and you will never see her again. I don’t care about the whole bro code and shit. Fuck up once and you’re done.” he said through gritted teeth once he found out you started dating. He would have never said this to anyone who was dating you. He was happy for you but Kirishima had a horrible track record of girls breaking up with him for being very inconsistent with relationships and just being toxic. He even cheated once or twice, On the DL of course. Bakugou had told you to watch out for him but you fell victim to his charm. Kirishima promised Bakugou he would never. 

You had been dating for a year and a few months. This would have been Kirishima’s longest relationship so far. There had been close calls like when he would yell at you for “being somewhere you said you wouldn’t be” or wearing “something too provocative” but you guys got through it like always. One day you were on your way back from work early. Having had a long day all you wanted to do was curl up in bed with your handsome boyfriend and fall asleep to whatever he put on Netflix. Like you guys had planned. When you walk in the door of your room you find Kirishima sitting on your bed with a black-haired girl straddle in his lap. Their hand intertwined in each other hair, passively making out with each other. You could see their tongues moving in sync just before they both turned startled. 

“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?” you shout.

“Y/n you’re here early,” he said while he said with wide eyes obviously startled.

The black hair girl looked like no one you knew. She wasn’t even from the school. 

“That’s all you have to say….?” You said with tears in your eyes. 

the girl got up off his lap and approached you. 

“Hi, you must be Y/n. Thank you so much for letting me and Kirishima use your dorm room to you know while you were at work. We haven’t been able to mess around much because of different schools. But thanks to you dating him has been easier than ever. Sorry, we thought you would be back later, sorry to jump on you like that.” she said while holding her hand out as if to greet you.

“Holy fuck……”. is all you could mutter. Kirishima’s head was down with his hand on his face in shock at what his sidepiece had said. 

“I can’t believe you, you fucking liar. Was this all a ploy. How many others, are there others? How fucking dare you. After 1 year almost 1 and a half. I…i can’t believe you”. you said while starting to cry. The other girl was widely confused and looked between the two of you for a few minutes before realizing she got played and screamed at him for stringing her along and storming out. 

“ Y/N please she was nothing to me you are the one I have been in love with for all these months. Just let me explain it wasn’t what it looked like….. Y/n” he said while walking to you. He reached out for your arm and you fucking lost it on him.

“Oh, so you weren’t just making out with her on MY bed. Your tongues weren’t in each other’s mouths. There was no fooling around at all and she was just a…”

“An old friend” he cut in.

“Ohh how fucking dare you to try and make me believe that you two were just friends. She just fucking left after screaming at you for stringing her along. She just fucking said you two were dating and that you were using my dorm to FUCK.” You said more than pissed.

“Yes she is crazy don’t listen to her she is just woke,” he said as he started to raise his voice.

“ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME I AM NOT STUPID LIKE BEING WOKE HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS?” you said while looking at him directly tears still starting to pour now at a rate you had never cried before. 

“YES, THAT IS ALL SHE WAS. IF EVEN THAT SHE WAS MORE LIKE A FREINDS WITH BENEFITS” he said just then realizing what he had said after it came flying out of his mouth. 

“SO THAT MAKES IT BETTER. YOU TWO WERE JUST FUCKING NO STRINGS ATTACHED “ 

“WE WERE NEVER FUCKING” he said while closing the space between you. He was now screaming into your face. He raised his hand up to explain that it never happened. You flinched at the sudden movement and motion. 

“YOU WERE PROBABLY FUCKING MY BEST FREIND FOR ALL WE KNOW, YOU ARE ALWAYS AROUND HIM” He was always jealous of your and Bakugous relationship but this was too far.

“DON’T YOU FUCKING BRING HIM INTO THIS”

“ YOU AlWAYS RUN TO HIM, A SHOULDER TO CRY ON WITH A DICK TO RIDE ON WHENEVER WE GET INTO A FIGHT ITS NEVER let’s TALK IT THROUGH YOU JUST RUN TO BAKUGOU,” he said referring to how you always seek him out to comfort you after a fight.

      He was yelling something about how it was your fault that you came home early and caught them but you just zoned out realizing all the red flags he had tried to hide over the year you two had been dating. All the gaslighting about where he had been and the lying about who he had been with. How controlling he was over you with what you could or couldn’t wear. Who You could or could not hang out with. He would never say it directly, but he would imply things like “Oh you’re hanging out with them again, They are bad company and you know it. The rumors are true about the drugs and abuse” he said about your friend who smoked weed. She never abused anyone. He lied about that too. To keep you from hanging out with your bestie from 3rd grade. Or things like “You want random men jerking off to you on the subway, cuz they will if you wear that” These are just toxic things. he was possessive and controlling. You felt more depressed than ever when you were with him. Somehow he always made you feel safe when you were with him and super alone and self-conscious when you were alone. He took your independence and traded it for submission to his power. 

“You know what fuck this, I’m…done,” you said in barely a whisper.

“SPEAK UP, you know I hate when you mutter,” he said as you started for the door. Just then Kiri grabbed you and slammed you into the door your back facing the door. 

    “DON’T WALK AWAY WHEN I AM TALKING TO YOU,”  he said more than angrily.

You looked away afraid he would hit you as your sobs became more like cries for help.

He put his hands on your throat and started to squeeze. Sucking any remaining air out of your lungs. He had hit you before but this was different he wanted you to be afraid he wanted you dead. His eyes were filled with pure rage. You knew the spot on your neck he squeezed would be deep purple by morning. He was blinded by rage after all this stunt could cost him his career.If you ever told. Just before you passed out he let go. Gasping for air you told him

      “ I hate you and your abuse and how you treat me, WE ARE FUCKING THROUGH, Pack your shit and fuck off. I don’t care where you go and who you fuck but we are fucking through.” You said as you pushed him off and walked out. You could hear him shouting something followed by some crashes. This was a normal thing fighting but you had never thought he would cheat. Whenever you got in this bad of a fight you always went to Bakugou’s. this time was no different. Well, you were newly single. You always thought the stories of him cheating were made up by jealous girls that was what he told you any way no wonder it was also false. 

You knocked on Bakugou’s door. You could hear him stir. He opened the door to a crying mess

“Y/n what the fuck happened to you?” he said referring to the already bruising skin on your neck. He wrapped you in warm arms and brought you inside. 

“I got into a fight with Kiri….” You said quietly as you sat on the end of his bed.

“SHITTY HAIR did this to you?” he said half surprised. He had hit you before but he never left a mark. Never not once. He was very clean with how he hit you. Backugou had never even thought that he would with how he presented himself. All perfect and preppy. Yea, he was a bimbo idiot with girls, and how disrespectful he was. He didnt used to be like this but after he became a fuckboy he turned. 

“Yea, h..he cheated and I said we were through and he choked me…” Bakugou took a deep breath; although you could feel his blood boil. He would kill him if he were here right now but he needs to be calm for you right now. You needed a pillar. 

He helped you into something more comfortable and into bed as he cuddled you doing his best not to break under the sadness he felt for you. He had never even thought Kirishima would have been abusive. 

“It’s ok all right. I am here just like always” he said while cupping your cheeks in his hands and wiping away any tears left behind and placing a kiss on your forehead. 

After you fell asleep he called Mr. Aizawa to have this issue solved because you deserved justice. 

Hey guys! This was kinda a mess but let me know what you think! It was not pre read and I wrote this very quick.... Luv you bye!!!!❤️

[herofics]

I’m back on my mha bs so do you suppose we could have some friendship headcanons for todoroki, izuku, and iida where the reader doesn’t go to UA but still has an amazingly powerful quirk (kinda like the nature sprite from fantasia 2000) and is an absolute free spirit?

please and thank you

A/N: It’s been ages since I saw disney’s Fantasia (at least that’s what I assume you meant), so I had to google some stuff about the whole nature spirit thing. It’s not really exactly the same powers, because that would be pretty overpowered, but I took the nature/plant/animal stuff and used that

~Iida Tenya~

•You knew Iida from before he went to UA and you kept in contact even after he entered the school

•You’re childhood friends actually

•You went to a different school, since you didn’t want to do hero work, and you wanted to become a veterinarian

•Your ability to communicate with animals and your connection to them means you’re a great fit for that

•You were really worried when Tensei ended up in the hospital because of the hero killer, and you reached out to Iida and went to support him at the hospital

•You could see he was incredibly distraught about the whole situation, you were upset too, Tensei was (or at least used to be) like a big brother to you too

•You also visited Iida at the hospital when he ended up there after his confrontation with the hero killer

•It was the first time you met any of his friends from UA and you were of course super worried for Iida, but it was nice to meet his friends too

•You were pretty upset that Iida had gotten so hurt, and your quirk kinda has a mind of its own when you’re feeling strong emotions

•So the flowers that were by Iida’s bedside started growing as you told him he was an idiot and that he needs to be more careful

•Iida promises that he will be more careful, and you do believe him

•You walked him out of the hospital later that same day and you talked about how things had been lately, how Tensei was doing and all that

•Iida promised to call you once he got back to school and keep you updated on how he was healing

~Todoroki Shouto~

•You’re Todoroki’s neighbor, and you met for the first time when you were like 3 years old

•So about a year or two before his mom ended up in the hospital

•You’ve been a lifeline for him ever since you met, and Rei always encouraged your friendship, so after she went to the hospital, Shouto needed you even more

•Of course Endeavor didn’t really like you, because he thought you made Shouto soft and weak, even though it was just that you made him happier

•You and Shouto also went to the same school up until he enrolled in UA

•You remained close friends even then, even though you didn’t contact each other very often

•Both of you felt like you didn’t need to keep in constant contact to remain good friends

•You of course contacted him after the USJ incident

•You hadn’t seen each other in a while, and you wanted to make sure he was okay

•He came over to your house later that week, and you talked a lot about how you’d both started at new schools and how it had been

•You’ve got a lot of plants in your room and when he told you about what had happened at USJ, you got really angry about the whole situation even happening, so the plants started growing pretty uncontrollably

•Shouto knows this means you’re feeling strong emotions, since he’s seen this happen multiple times since you were kids

•You were mostly upset, but also very happy that he hadn’t gotten hurt

•Though you weren’t really super surprised about that, he had always been really strong

•You talked for quite a long time, and it was nice for Shouto to get some of his thoughts out too

~Midoriya Izuku~

•You’ve been friends with him since elementary school, after Bakugou became a jackass towards him

•You actually bonded first because you both had green hair, your hair was plants and flowers and vines and such and Midoriya thought it was really interesting

•Animals love you and you can grow plants and even control them to a certain degree

•When Midoriya first met you, he thought you were like a nature spirit from an anime or something

•You’ve remained close friends, but your communication sort of dwindled when he was training for OfA, but you of course didn’t know the reason

•You were pretty scared that he was getting depressed, because he seemed to be withdrawing from you, but in reality, it was just him being super busy with his training

•When All Might found out about this, he encouraged Midoriya to keep in contact with you, because friends are important

•You were the second person he told when he got his UA acceptance (his mom was the first)

•The situation being confusing to you was the understatement of the year

•You tried to pry, but Midoriya wouldn’t tell you, so you just let it go

•There was something weird about the whole thing of course, but you were so happy for him, he was reaching for his dreams

•Midoriya felt so bad that he couldn’t tell you, but it just wasn’t possible

•You heard about him getting injured all the time, and you lectured him about it almost every time it happened

•When Midoriya moved into the dorms, you saw each other less, but you kept in contact and saw each other when he came to visit his mom or when he otherwise got permission

•You remained good friends and kept in pretty frequent contact, sending each other pictures and sharing music and stuff like that

•Midoriya’s pictures kinda suck though, he somehow always manages to make them blurry or his thumb is in the picture

Our Story (Bakugou Katsuki X Midoriya Izuku) - Oneshot

Summary:

Once, a 5 years old Katsuki and a 4 years old Izuku dreamed of being heroes. Now, a 17 years old Katsuki and a 16 years old Izuku were actually recognized as heroes. Katsuki wondered if one day they could walk side by side, as heroes, as friends, as rivals, as whatever they were allowed to be. Because no matter what happened in the future, Katsuki would be beside Izuku, and if the embers ever fade, he would definitely be there to rekindle the flames. This was their story after all. The story of how they became heroes… …together. (SPOILERS FROM MANGA - CHAPTER 424!!!!)

Notes:

The oneshot is short, I just wanted to write what I think that Katsuki thought while saying those words (the manga words from chapter 424), that's all.

Still, I hope that you liked this story.^^

See you!

P.S: English is not my native language, so sorry for possible grammar mistakes. I don't have a beta reader, so as soon as possible I will correct possible mistakes.^^

P.S.2: I also have this story at AO3 and Fanfiction.net under the name "Mistsukis2"!

“But I can still feel some left embers…” 

Once, All Might said that he was helping Izuku in his own way to find redemption. And even if he didn’t admit that, not even for himself, somewhere in his being, he knew that was exactly what he was doing, or trying to do.

Katsuki could admit that he treated Izuku like shit for most of their life, that’s why he apologized just a few days ago. He really meant it.

Izuku was Izuku, gentle and carrying Izuku. The green haired kid had forgiven him on the spot, if not a long time ago. Because, why would a victim of bullying keep trying to reach their bully?

But it didn’t matter anyway. It didn't matter if Izuku forgave him or not. He wanted to make up for his errors, even if it took him his whole life, because Izuku was…

Truth be told, Katsuki didn’t know what to call their relationship anymore. 

Childhood friends? 

Rivals?

Something…more?

The thing was, they were important to each other to some degree, at which degree, they would find out later. 

Right now…

Izuku just said “embers”. That meant…

“How can you still walk around, brat?!”

His mother was yelling at him, she and his father were trying to stop him from entering the hospital room where Izuku and All Might were, but he didn’t give a shit, there was something really important happening right in front of his eyes.

“KACCHAN! I’m so glad that you are safe!” Izuku yelled, at the same time that his mother apologized for their intrusion, saying something about him being worried.

Any other time, Katsuki would yell back, denying the accusation, but…

“Embers…” The word left his mouth before he could process the whole situation. It felt bitter. “Then…it means that you are…”

Izuku was still smiling. A soft and gentle smile. He just sacrificed the one and only thing that he has ever wanted, and he was still smiling, just like back then, when they were 5 years old, holding an All Might card and sure that one day they would be heroes together.

“...quirkless…”

The word felt hard and heavy on his tongue.

The first time that they fought for real Shigaraki and All For One, the first time that they landed in the hospital, badly, badly injured, Katsuki wasn’t allowed to see Izuku. And he didn’t have the chance later either, because Izuku left solo right after, leaving behind a shit excuse of a letter explaining his reasons.

This time around, no one would stop him, he would check if the nerd was doing as good as possible, and wasn’t planning another escape. Because this time Katsuki would definitely stop or join him.

That wasn’t necessary though…

Katsuki should have prepared himself for another kind of blow.

“Hum.” Izuku sounded…fine for some reason. “But…from the start, it was something that I didn’t have, so it’s okay, I don’t regret anything. It felt like…I was allowed to see a really great dream.”

What the hell…?

Izuku had both arms bandaged, just like him. They were both badly hurt, and if anyone looked at them now, they wouldn’t know who had it worse. Katsuki was allowed to keep his right arm, his quirk depends on the sweat of the palm of his hands, but Izuku…he just lost the quirk that he worked so hard to control.

Why?

Didn't he just tell the doctor that he would give his all in physiotherapy, because he wanted to follow Izuku's example? Even when Izuku was still quirkless, the green haired boy gave his everything to achieve his goals, never giving up on his dream.

That’s why Katsuki wondered why that was happening now.

“What kind of trick did you use?! How can a quirkless kid pass the test?!”

“Then, I have to go beyond it! No! I need to go beyond it!”

“Don’t let me surpass you, Izuku.”

“Eh…” Shock. Realization. The more he looked back at his memories, the more he wondered: why ?

Was that some kind of twisted punishment? Because he was horrible to Izuku while growing up? If that was a punishment, fucking hell , why wasn’t he the only one to draw the short end of the stick?! Why did Izuku have to be dragged into that too?

Izuku didn’t deserve that. After everything that he went through…he deserved better.

“Cry-Crycchan???!!!”

Katsuki didn’t even realize that he was crying until Izuku pointed it out…loud and dramatically. Was that his new nickname?

Fuck…just when I finally acknowledged ‘Kacchan’?!

He only knew how to yell, anger and frustration were feelings that by now he knew how to deal with, but this ? How was he supposed to put into words all this…guilty? Shame? Overflowing feelings? He didn’t know!

“No…I don’t like it…” There was a lump on his throat, and he refused to acknowledge that he just hiccuped. He felt like a kid again. Powerless. “Seriously…?”

The tears were falling without his consentment, the bandages on his face and hand were getting wet, it didn’t matter how hard he tried, it didn’t stop.

“Seriously…what the hell was I doing to you…?” He hated the way his voice trembled, why was he feeling desperate like that when Izuku was the one who lost everything? The only one who got his dream destroyed? 

The tears were blurring Izuku’s face, but Katsuki was sure that the green haired boy had a troubled expression right now.

“I just thought…” 

He was naive. 

“...that somehow…we would be like that forever…” 

Naive. Too naive Katsuki. 

“...competing and chasing after each other you know…”

He thought that after all this fucking war, things would go back to…normal…

Classes. Living under the same dorm’s roof. More classes. Fights. Competitions.

He would chase after Izuku, and Izuku would chase after him.

Normal stuff, right?

But what was ‘normal’ now?

“S-stop, this is not like you…” Izuku stumbled on his words, sounding troubled now. “I still have the embers! It’s just that my body is currently weak, so my mental strength also got weak!”

Right…All Might was able to keep fighting with OFA’s embers…Izuku would be able to do the same…he could still live his dream…

The hell was he doing? He was supposed to be the one comforting Izuku, not the other way around. So why couldn’t he stop the tears from coming out?

Why was he…so wea-

“You two really got strong.”

All Might's voice was still fragile, but his words were far from that. That only sentence put a stop to the chaotic thoughts on his head.

“You have changed a lot since the first time we met.” He continued, looking between him and Izuku.

Gentle, but powerful words. Words meant to comfort, but trying to pass a message.

“The Midoriya shounen that ran with all his might that day is my hero, but right now, you are everyone’s hero. And also, Bakugou shounen who gave me more time…”

All Might had always been their idol, the type of hero that they wanted to be, and here he was, implying that no matter what had happened in their complicated past, no matter what would happen or what they decided to do from now on, they, he and Izuku…

“You are the greatest heroes. So thank you!”

He wasn’t the only one crying anymore, Izuku had always been a crybaby, so of course he would start crying while hearing such words of praise. Not that he could fault Izuku here, Katsuki was the first one to start crying anyway.

But hearing that felt oddly reassuring.

Izuku smiled between sobs, and Katsuki did the same.

Hearing those words made Katsuki think that somehow things would work out eventually. 

For him. 

For Izuku. 

For both of them.

…

Once, a 5 years old Katsuki and a 4 years old Izuku dreamed of being heroes.

Now, a 17 years old Katsuki and a 16 years old Izuku were actually recognized as heroes. It wasn’t a dream anymore, it was their reality.

That’s why Katsuki wondered if one day they would walk side by side, as heroes, as friends, as rivals, as whatever they were allowed to be.

Because no matter what happened in the future, Katsuki would be beside Izuku, and if the embers ever fade, he would definitely be there to rekindle the flames.

This was their story after all.

The story of how they became heroes…

…together.

[legendzjagz]

Okay so I saw art on here the other day of Deku leaning over a casket with bakugou in it, in his hero uniform. And it inspired this fic. I wrote this in like an hour - it’s not edited, sorry.

FOUND THE ART - beautiful bkdk art by Bleedingivorydraws

You can also blame @z-mizcellaneous-z because we had a quick little idea abt a super angsty fic so they put me in the mood. *no worries bestie! I’m just joking around. I love you! /plat and I’m kinda thankful for getting this out!

Also, please get tissues ready when reading this cuz I fucking was sobbing writing it.

Still The Wonder Duo

“Remember when we were little and we had planned to become heroes together? We would play heroes all day long. You’d always wanna be All Might and you would let me be All Might too. It was nice when we would switch who was All Might. But even on days when I was All Might I still looked at you; still followed your lead. You were my hero even then. You were so overwhelming to watch, but I could never look away.

“I remember when we got our All Might trading cards too. I was so happy we’d gotten the same one. I knew we’d be together forever because that’s how little kids' brains work. We got the same card at the same time and it proved that destiny was real.”

Izuku sniffles and eyes shift to the card currently laying visible under black and orange gloved hands. Izuku’s own hands cover a majority of them and he can barely see the blood on the corner.

“Destiny is a bitch.” He whispers to himself and shakes his head trying to quell the still steady flowing tears down his cheeks. “You think you’ll get All Might to sign it wherever you both go? You know he will.”

Deku swallows tightly, lump in his throat, but he refuses to start sobbing. He needs to have clear enough eyes right now. Needs to keep soaking in blonde hair, the angles of pale skin, the new scar covering the right side of a face he’s known since they were children. Take in the sharp point of a nose and the curve of lips he’s only recently discovered the taste of; he reaches to cradle the cool sharp jaw of his childhood best friend in his palm. His other hand grips tightly to black and orange gloves, placed over a nonmoving stomach.

“We didn’t even get to go on a date yet.” He wishes red eyes would snap open at this confession and Kacchan would glare at him tightly and grumble: “all the good places got destroyed, shitty nerd. But let’s ditch these fuckers and i’lll make something back at the dorms before the extras show up and ruin it”.

Izuku would have laughed and used OFA to get them back to the dorms. They’d get to the kitchen and Kacchan would have him start cutting vegetables for whatever meal he’d make for him. And then yell at Deku when he didn’t like the cuts he’d make. He imagines Kacchan would wrap his arms around him, hands placed over his own to guide him in a demonstration of proper cutting and chopping techniques. And once Izuku would have completed his task he’d have sat on the counter next to the stove while Kacchan cooked for them - stealing as many kisses as he could. Then they’d move to eat at the island, ankles wrapped around the other. He’d try to steal Kacchan’s food, and they’d argue that it was the same food in each bowl. But Izuku would want Kacchan’s because Kacchan’s food was always better. He’d have those wonderful, bright, red eyes on him again. He’d have been happy just to see the intensity of Kacchan’s eyes bare into his soul for one last time. He would have -

“Kacchan - ” Izuku chokes on his next breath, because its a vision of a life they won’t have anymore. One he’ll never have again. Because the person he’s supposed to share his life with is lying before him in a casket. For someone so lively in life it's terrifying and wrong to see him so still. “Kacchan - “ He chokes again, chest tight and constricting. The tears are coming in stronger.

He rests his chin on his bicep. It’s an awkward angle, but he needs to be able to breathe in the caramel, smoke and sweat of Kacchan’s orange jacket without moving his eyes away from his face.

Izuku had been sitting outside the dorms with Kacchan, enjoying one of the last nights before they were sent out to fight. The late may nighttime air had turned chilly and Izuku had just about to suggest they head inside when Kacchan shucked off his favorite orange jacket and draped it over Izuku’s visibly shivering shoulders.

“But what about you?” He’d asked.

Kacchan had shrugged, “I run hot,”

Izuku hid a smile into the collar and breathed in deep. “Kacchan gave me his jacket.”

“Yeah, well,” He’d rolled his eyes, like it didn’t matter but Izuku could just make out a blush across Kacchan’s cheeks, “Don’t expect it everytime, Deku.”

“Okay.” He giggled into the coat.

Kacchan had rolled his eyes again, then lifted his nearest arm. Deku had taken the invitation and scooted the half a foot over to curl up into Kacchan’s chest.

“After all this is over, I’m going to date you so damn hard.”

“You can’t make dating into a competition, Kacchan?”

“Fucking watch me.”

“I already do.”

Kacchan had huffed in embarrassment, but Izuku knew he liked it. He shifted up in his hold and kissed what he could reach - the edge of Kacchan’s jaw. Kacchan of course didn’t think that was enough and had turned his head to press his lips firmly to Izuku’s. Izuku had felt like he was in heaven; the happiest he’d felt in a long time.

Now he’s struggling to find those kernels of happiness as the body under his hands remains cold.

“I wish giving you your jacket back would make you warm again. But I know your pride won’t let you take it back.”

Izuku stares at Katsuki Bakugou and studies his features till his breathing has returned to a relatively normal pace and the tears are no longer destroying his image of victory.

He doesn’t know how long he sits there.

But he knows it’s not long enough.

“Izuku,” A hand appears on his shoulder and Deku jumps and turns to look into a grey and blue eye. Shoto. Next to him stands Kirishima, his own red eyes - not the red that Izuku is desperate to see though - are filled with unshed tears. “It’s time to go, Izuku.”

Fear rises up quickly in his chest and he chokes once more on his breath, “What?” He turns to look at Kacchan, waiting to see an eyes roll and for him to tell them both to ‘fuck off’ till he was ready. But all that remains is a peacefully blank expression. “But… but…” He can feel the panic rise, “It hasn’t been long enough. We only just got here… we can’t…”

“Izuku,” Shoto squeezes his shoulder, “It’s been 5 hours.”

“NO.” Izuku shakes his head. He can’t look away from Kacchan. He has to be with him. Screw Kacchan’s pride, Izuku will walk with him till they get to his resting place. “No, it’s not time. I can’t leave him.”

“We have to go, Midobro.” Kirishima sniffles. “They have to take him back.”

“They can’t have him,” He growls and shoots his friends a glare so sharp he sees them take a tentative step back. Good. His eyes go back to Kacchan.

He hears shifting next to him, Shoto’s hands leave his shoulders; but he doesn’t look away. Trying to memorize blonde hair and how it sits just so, the way it felt to hold Kacchan’s cheek, the arch of eyebrows when doing something stupid, the way pink would tinge across his nose when Izuku would stare too long. He wants to see it now.

“Midoriya, It’s time to go.” A new voice says.

“No.”

“Midoriya, I will lift you out of here. Let’s not make a scene.”

“I don’t care. I can’t just leave him. He promised.”

“Promised what?”

Izuku can feel the tears welling up again, throat tightening and his words are voiced just above a whisper, “That we’d do this together. Side by side. He promised.”

“Okay, okay.” The new voice soothes, “He will always be with you. No matter what. He’ still with you, tied to your soul. So it’s okay to leave; because he has never left you.”

Izuku is surprised at the words and turns to look to his left to see Aizawa-sensei squatting near his knee. His eyes are red and not from quirk use. They shine like he just put eye drops in. “Sensei,” Izuku whispers.

“Come on, Midoriya. One more goodbye.”

Izuku gasps and turns back to Kacchan. Goodbye? No. no no no no no. he can’t say goodbye. It’s not time yet. They stil have so much they need to do.

He didn’t realize he was shaking his head and muttering until Aizawa places a hand on his knee, “You have to. It’s time.”

“NO!” He shouts. He can’t he can’t he can’t he can’t -

“We can do this the hard way or you can walk out of here on your own.”

He doesn’t remember what he answers, just tries to touch Kacchan one more time. Maybe he tried to wake him? Maybe he tried to kiss ice cold lips one last time. Tries to run his fingers through golden hair onc last time. But one second he’s sitting and the other he’s benign held tight to Aizawa’s chest and carried away from Kacchan.

“Kacchan!!” He screeches, tyring to see past Aizawa’s shoulder. “NO! No you can’t make me leave him! He can’t leave yet!!”

He tries to push away, but he’d been pretty week from the fighting and hadn’t been eating much since the final battle. He was weak. Kacchan would be so mad at him. Well he’s mad at him too.

“YOU PROMISED!” He yells, tears are flowing freely now, blurring his vision, “You fucking promised we do this together! You’re not allowed to leave me! You hear me! Please!!”

They’re getting further away, kacchan drifting farther away from him. He can make out other people on the edge of his peripheral; but they don’t matter. No else matter right now..

“Take me back! You can’t leave me! Kacchan please! Please please please! You’re mine they can’t have you!”

He cries and tries to escape Aizawa’s hold but his hold is too tight. Izuku gets one last glance at Kacchan’s bright blonde hair and fitted in his hero suit - looking as gorgeous as ever. As beautiful as he should be as Izuku’s symbol of victory. And then they turn a corner and he’s gone.

“NO!” He screeches once more, “Kacchan! Kacchan Kacchan Kacchan - “ He cries. He sobs. He can’t do this without him. It hurts without him. They were supposed to do this together.

“It’s going to be okay, Midoriya. It’s going to be okay.” Aizawa tries to soothe him.

“Kacchan - “ Izuku sobs into his Sensei’s shoulder. He can only say the name of his future. He thinks of what could have been. Sobs for the person who should be holding him currently. Sobs for his closest person. Sobs for a boy who was gone too soon; for a boy who was only just coming into himself.

Izuku passes out against Aizawa’s shoulder, Kacchan’s name on his lips.

Keep Watching. Ch 1

What is it that makes a hero?

Chapter 1

I couldn’t believe my luck. It was when no grownups were around, was when these 2 damn fourth graders decided to pick a fight with me. The skinnier one punched me in the face. All while the fat one held me. As my face was hit, I tried with all my might to swing my body forward, landing a good kick at the skinny’s gut. “Damn, brat!” I threw my head back, hitting the fat one’s jaw. It was then I was free.

Now that I had my footing, I turned around and hit the fourth grader in his fat stomach. He stumbled back, and I could hear the other one come towards me. I avoided his punch in time and kicked his leg as hard as possible. That kick made him fall to his knees. Taking that as my chance, I punched him in the face. Then the fat one went over to the skinny one’s side and tried to help him up. “Just you watch! I’m going to tell my big brother!”

I held my head high as I stood before them. “You’re the one who picked a fight with me.” With that, the fourth graders ran off. I tried to wipe away the tears I knew I had. And suddenly, Kato and Saito came from around the corner. Were they there the whole time? And didn’t even try to help me? I bet they were hiding in fear. That’s so pathetic.

As Kato and Saito discussed how cool I was, I felt like someone else was watching. I looked behind me and faintly saw someone peeking from behind a nearby lamppost. But I ignored that as I brought my focus back to my friends. Before long, I finished walking back home.

The next day at daycare, I noticed the quiet kid kept looking my way. I wonder why. Especially when they always turned away when I looked at them. It went like this all the way until it was time for recess. We were allowed into the playing yard, and I walked over to the tree at the far end. Sitting under the tree, I watched the rest of my class play.

It has been like this for as long as I can remember. Nobody ever wanted to play with me. That’s fine with me. I don’t need anyone. No matter how lonely I felt. They’re all cowards because I’m stronger than them. “Um.” I was quickly brought out of my thoughts and looked up next to me. It was the quiet kid. He was fidgeting with his fingers as he mumbled.

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

He put his arms at his side, and I saw tears falling down his face. What was his problem? At that, his face was super red. “You were so cool yesterday.” He then covered his face with his hands.

I quickly stood up and tried to remove his hands from his face. We then were looking at each other's eyes. And for some reason, my face felt hot. “What do you mean by yesterday?” He started to mumble again. “What?”

“I saw you yesterday. You looked so amazing fighting those fourth graders. You were like a superhero.” That’s when he started to look down, and more tears formed. He sure cries a lot.

“My name is Bakugou Katsuki. What’s yours?” At that, he lifted his head, and our eyes met again. Then I noticed his bright green eyes and freckles that made his face look like strawberries with his red cheeks. His cheeks seemed so pinchable. “What’s your name?”

“My name is Midoriya Izuku.” He then looked back at the ground; I wondered why. I let go of his hands and grabbed his face, making him look up. He started to mumble.

“Were you the one behind the lamppost?” Izuku made a small squeak as he tried to answer me. He’s so cute. “Are you only talking to me because I won against those fourth graders?”

I let go of Izuku's face and watched as he rubbed his cheeks. “Yes, but also, I wanted to know if you were ok. You seemed to be hurt.” Why did that make my chest hurt? I tried to ignore it as I smiled.

“I’m perfectly fine. Those fourth graders didn’t know who they were messing with.”

That’s when Izuku grabbed my face. “You’re so amazing, Kacchan.” Kacchan? Before I could say anything, recess was over, and we had to return to the building.

…

During the walk home, I faintly heard something. It sounded like a fight was going on up ahead. I don’t know why, but I ran toward the noise. Before long, I spotted the fourth graders from last week beating up someone. I quickly hid behind a lamppost. While peering around the pole, I saw who they were beating up. It was the boy that always sat alone at recess.

I watched how one fourth-grader held onto the boy while the other punched him. That was until I saw the blonde boy do something so amazing. He kicked one of the fourth graders and headbutted the other. It soon went from the fourth graders beating on someone smaller than them to getting their butts beaten.

As I watched in amazement, I could faintly see how the boy had tears. Yet somehow, he was able to win and have the older kids crying. He was so cool, just like All Might. I wanted to say hi, but then the two mean kids from daycare showed up. So, I decided to stay away. I don’t think it would be a good idea if I went over now. With that, I’ll wait until they leave so I can finish walking home.

As I waited, I couldn’t stop admiring the blonde boy. But then he looked back in my direction. I got scared and tried to further behind the lamppost. And when I took a peek, I saw they were walking away. Once they were far enough is when I started again to walk home. It didn’t take long for me to catch up and realize they lived near my home. But thankfully, they made a left when I had to take a right.

All I could think of while finishing my walk home was that fight. Besides seeing the blonde boy winning against the fourth graders, I could stop thinking about how he was crying. Not to mention, he looked in pain. That’s when I promised to work up the courage and speak to him. And maybe we could also be friends.

At daycare, I couldn’t help but keep looking his way. Yet I would quickly look away whenever he turned to me. And for some reason, I felt dizzy as my cheeks began to burn. It was so hard to pay attention throughout the day. All because I could only think about how I would confront him during recess. Especially when I wasn’t sure if he’ll be alone as always or if I would have to speak in front of many people. I’m so scared.

But it was just my luck when I saw the blonde boy heading off alone, like always. I took a deep breath as I made my way over to him. It also was a relief when no mean kids paid attention to me. And the closer I got to the blonde boy, the more my face was on fire. The moment I reached him, I couldn’t help noticing his sad look.

“Um.” The moment the blonde boy looked at me, I couldn’t take it. So, I looked at my feet and started to cry. What was I even doing? He properly won’t even talk to me. This is hopeless. “This is stupid. This stupid.”

“What did you say? I can’t hear you.”

That’s when I looked back up and saw him staring at me. I can’t believe I’m doing this, but I must be brave like a hero. “You were so cool yesterday.” Oh goodness! I spoke to him. I quickly covered my face as I tried to hide the fact I was crying. That was until I felt something trying to move my arms down.

When my hands no longer covered my face, I was met with shiny red eyes. “What do you mean by yesterday?”

My whole body felt on fire when I realized how close he was to me. But I tried to keep it together. “I saw you yesterday. You looked so amazing fighting those fourth graders. You were like a superhero.” I then watched how a smile grew across his face, which was amazing. So amazing that I couldn’t help but cry.

“My name is Bakugou Katsuki. What’s yours?” I couldn’t believe what I just heard. So, I looked up in the hope I wasn’t dreaming; thankfully, I wasn’t. I was just speechless. “What’s your name?”

“My name is Midoriya Izuku.” This was more than I thought would happen. Kacchan was not only talking with me but also super close. Then my face felt hot again, and I quickly looked back at my feet. That was until Kacchan grabbed my face and made me look up. “Oh goodness. Oh goodness.”

“Were you the one behind the lamppost?” Oh goodness! He saw me. “Are you only talking to me because I won against those fourth graders?” When Kacchan asked that, his smile disappeared; I only saw sadness. I don’t like that face on him.

What could I say to make Kacchan smile? And was he rubbing my cheeks? “Yes, but also, I wanted to know if you were ok. You seemed to be hurt.” I couldn’t tell if he was happy or sad at that moment. But he stopped rubbing my cheeks momentarily, and it felt weird without it. Then he smiled again, but his eyes still looked sad. I didn’t like any of that.

“I’m perfectly fine. Those fourth graders didn’t know who they were messing with.” Oh no! Now I recognize that face. It’s almost like the face my mom had when she told me that my dad went away for a job in the States. I don’t like this. What can I say to make Kacchan feel ok?

I quickly grabbed his face. “You’re so amazing, Kacchan.” He had that paused face again before smiling with his face and eyes. I like this face. It makes me happy. He then started to make the movement to say something, but we were suddenly called back from recess.

The rest of the daycare seemed to go by quickly. And when it was time to change out our school, I noticed how the other boys went to talk with Kacchan. They seemed to be happy talking to each other. It made me feel sad and wonder if I was Kacchan’s friend. But my wonder quickly went away when Kacchan and the boys came over to me. At that, I felt scared since the other two had picked on me a few times.

“That’s such a cool All Might shirt.” Why was my face burning up, and my heart seemed to be in my ears?

“Thank you.”

“We’re heading to the store. Want to come with us?”

“Why are you inviting him?” I looked at the other boys. They had those mean faces from the other day. But when I looked back at Kacchan, he was smiling at me.

“Because I said so.” At that moment, my face felt on fire, and I was so grateful. We soon ran out of the daycare and were on our way. As we walked, I followed behind the others. Even when the other two kept getting in my sight, I could only focus on Kacchan.

…

While we walked to the store, Kato and Saito kept saying things about Izuku. Stuff like how he’s such a crybaby and wonder why I asked him to come with us. Even asking if I was pitying him. Especially with them saying how they heard he was fatherless. Even though I was laughing along, it all felt wrong. But what else was I supposed to do? And whenever I looked back, I was met with Izuku’s eyes, and the bad feeling worsened. What is this feeling?

We soon came across a group of people standing around the TV shop. To my great joy, they showed how All Might defeated yet another villain. He was so amazing, and I cheered. Then I looked to my right and saw Izuku was there and cheering as well. Seeing how happy he was made this moment feel incredible. I wonder how I would be able to always see that smile.

After cheering with Izuku over how amazing All Might was and wanting to be the number one hero myself, is when the regular news came back on. So, we started off to the store again, and I realized something. It was the first time I talked about something I liked with someone and wasn’t told to stop. It was a wonderful feeling. Especially with Izuku smiling as we excitedly spoke about All Might. We continued talking all the way to the store.

It wasn’t until we got our hero snacks that I realized that me and Izuku weren’t alone. I completely forgot that we were also with Kato and Saito. But at this moment, I didn’t care. I was having fun with someone who shared my excitement over my favorite hero. And when we opened our hero snacks, we saw it came with a card pack. I stood in front of Izuku. “Let’s open it together.”

“Yeah!” With that, we opened our packs, and to our surprise… “We got the same All Might card! This is so cool, Kacchan!”

“Hell yeah!” Today just keeps getting better. I looked at my card and wondered if I’ll ever get a chance to get it autographed by my hero. And when I looked over to Izuku, my excitement grew as I saw him hugging his card. Today was just perfect.

[incompleteeclipse]

Finished the first chapter of my MHA Fantasy AU fic. Here's a sneak peak

Kacchan rolled his eyes and pointed at the stone wall. “You hafta look for the big stones that you can hold onto - no not that one, Deku.”

The whole thing took longer than Kacchan seemed to like. Throughout the climbing process he insulted him and called him names as he coached Izuku on where best to put his hands and feet and how to haul himself up. Izuku tuned everything out except for the instructions and focused on carefully going from the wall, to the lower branches, then steadily higher.

Eventually the two were as high as even Kacchan could admit was safe to go. Izuku sat closest to the trunk, arms wrapped around it but letting his feet kick as they dangled. The bark of the tree dug into his arms and cheek. Kacchan sat next to him further on the branch, squinting into the distance. Some of his hair had broke free from the tie, leaves and twigs entangled. Izuku ran a hand through his own curls and Kacchan mirrored him, shaking loose the vegetation. 

“Why are you in a tree, Kacchan?” Izuku asked after some time had passed.

“Hiding.”

“But you don’t hide from anything.”

“Damn right,” the boy straightened, chest puffing. “I’m not hiding cus I’m scared, I’m waiting for the others to get here so I can trick ‘em and scare them.”"

“They knew your lesson was going to end early today?”

“I told them ages ago. You would’a knew too if you bothered showing up to tutoring.”

Izuku wanted to say that him being there wasn’t entirely up to him. “Why do you want to scare your friends?”

Kacchan turned to glare at Izuku who met his gaze with his own wide eyed stare. “Because,” he drawled, “It’s funny. And I’m not going to hide behind a wall to do it like a stupid kid. No one’s gonna look for us in a tree, so we can get the drop on them.”

“We can?” Izuku kept his comment on how they were kids to himself. He liked that Kacchan was including him, even if scaring people wasn’t his idea of fun. 

“Of course we can. Keep up, Deku. You’re s'posed to be smart.”

Izuku blinked. “I am?” He didn’t think he was very smart.

“Well everyone is always saying it.”

“They are?” 

“If y’a keep asking stupid questions I’m going to push you!” Kacchan snapped.

“No, don’t!” Izuku gripped the trunk harder, heart racing. He wasn’t trying to be annoying he was just surprised and a little confused. Everyone couldn't think he was smart, because he wasn't. Not like Kacchan, who had lessons about everything almost every day. Knowing how to do laundry wasn’t nearly as cool as being able to read.

It looked like Kacchan was actually thinking about it, until the sound of approaching voices got their attention. They peered through a gap in the leaves to see three boys their age coming over the crest of the hill. The path was wide enough that Hashiga, Tesaki and Tsubasa could all walk in a row, bumping shoulders and laughing as they jostled each other.

With a glare and a finger to his lips, Kacchan began to lower himself with an impressive amount of stealth for someone his age. Izuku followed much more slowly, hoping his climbing inexperience wouldn’t accidentally ruin Kacchan’s joke.

“Bakugo said to meet him here.”

“Where is he then?”

When the three boys were standing underneath the tree and distracted by their arguing, Kacchan dropped with a guttural shout. Izuku watched as they all screamed and scrambled in opposite directions only to turn to stare in slack-jawed shock when Kacchan began to cackle. Izuku wasn't laughing, but when Kacchan looked up at him with a smug grin, he couldn’t help but smile back. 

When they realized they’d been the object of a prank Kacchan's friends crowded him with varying responses.

“Unfair, Bakugou!” Hashiga scowled, aiming to shove the other boy.

“How’d you get up there?” Tsubasa asked.

“You should do that to Deku, I bet he’d squeal like a girl!” Tesaki postured, like he hadn’t screamed the loudest out of all of them.

“Would not!” Izuku dangled from the bottom branch, legs kicking, chin tucked to his chest as he tried to judge exactly how far up he was before letting go.

Taming the Beast Within Ch.8

After getting changed into their workout uniforms, the entirety of class 1-A stood outside in the U.A courtyard. Each one of them awaiting their teacher’s instructions. The lesson for the day was a quirk assessment test.

“But we’re gonna miss orientation!” The gravity girl exclaimed in disbelief.

“If you really wanna make it to the big leagues,” Aizawa explained “you can’t waste time on pointless ceremonies.”

Gasps and murmurs of shock rippled through the crowed of students. Kyoko squeezed her fist and gulped. She know that taking a U.A course wasn’t going to be a cakewalk. But somehow with this teacher, she felt like this was the equivalent of a newborn kitten facing a large tiger.

“Here at U.A, we’re not tethered to traditions. That means that I get to run my class however I see fit.”

Kyoko’s heart began to pound harshly in her chest. Now, the tiger was starting to bare its teeth and claws.

“You’ve been taking standardized tests for most of your school life. But you never once got to use your quirks in physical exams.”

Use our quirk…? Physical exams…? Oh no…

Kyoko knew that her quirk was not meant for physical or sporty activities. If anything, it was best for scouting or move predictions.

I’m going to humiliate myself in front of all my classmates. On the first day no less.

“The country is still trying to pretend that we’re all created equal by not letting those with the most power excel. It’s just not rational. One day the Ministry of Education will learn their lesson.”

Aizawa turns his attention towards Bakugou.

“Bakugou, you managed to get the most points on the entrance exam. What was your farthest distance throw with a softball during Junior High?”

Bakugou’s eyebrows furrowed in thought at this question “67 meters, I think.”

Aizawa nods his head at this supposedly correct answer “Right, now try doing the exact same exercise while using your quirk.”

Aizawa hands Bakugou a grey and white softball before leading him over to a large chalk circle drawn in the dirt.

“Anything goes just as long you stay in the circle.”

Bakugou stretches his arms before preparing to throw the ball. Then, putting as much force as he can, he throws it.

*BOOM*

The sound of a loud explosion rang through Kyoko’s ears as clouds of smoke and orange-yellow light followed in its wake. The softball was sent flying into the air with the amount of force that was put into Bakugou’s pitch.

Kyoko stares wide eyed and open mouthed at the sight. She then lets out a terrified squeak as the realization hits her.

That… could’ve been me…

Her legs began to shake at the image that appeared in her head. Bakugou setting off an explosion that would send her flying into the stratosphere, leaving nothing but a cloud of smoke were she once stood.

Aizawa held up the small device he was holding and showed it to the other students, who all let out amazed and shocked gasps at the numbers that were displayed on the screen.

705.2 meters.

“705 meters, are you kidding me?”

“This looks like fun! I wanna go!”

“Now that’s what I’m talking about, we get to use our quirks as much as we want!”

A serious aura clouds over Aizawa “So this looks fun, huh? Listen, you all have three years here at this school to become a hero. You really think it’s all going to be just fun and games?”

A sinister smile grows on the teachers face, making cold chill run through Kyoko’s body “Idiots. Today, you’ll be competing in eight physical tests in order to gauge your potential. Whoever comes in last has none and will be immediately expelled.”

Expelled?!

No… No… I can’t be expelled! Not after I just got here!

But… My quirk is useless when it comes to physical challenges!

And everyone else is so much stronger than me…

I didn’t even use my quirk during the practical exam…

No!

Kyoko shakes her head in an attempt to clear it.

Snap out of it!

“It’s like I said, I get to decide how this class is run. Understand? If anyone has a problem with that, then they can head home right now.”

Kyoko’s heart began to speed up in her chest and memories from middle school began to flash in her mind.

Kyoko let out a grunt of pain as she was thrown against the chain-link fence by a teenage Ryoto.

“Come on crybaby, fight back already!” He roars as he swings his tail down on Kyoko who, fortunately, blocks it with her arm.

A low, rumbling growl could be heard coming from the dragon-like teen as he uses his foot to pin Kyoko to the dirt underneath.

“You really want to enter U.A? Please, you don’t have a chance!” He presses his foot harder into Kyoko’s stomach “A crybaby like you? A weakling with a completely useless quirk? Ha! What a joke!”

Kyoko lets out a small yelp of pain as Ryoto’s sharp, claw-like toenails dig into her stomach. Creating a dark stain on her uniform.

“Why don’t you just get it through your head already? I’m only trying to help you. But, if you don’t want to listen to my advice. Then oh well, it’s your funeral.”

“You can’t just send one of us home!” Kyoko was snapped out of her thoughts when the brown-haired girl decided to speak up.

“We just got here! Even if it wasn’t the first day, that isn’t fair!”

She’s right…

“Oh? And you think natural disasters are?” Aizawa retorts “Or power-hungry villains? What about catastrophic accidents that wipe out whole cities? No, the world is full of unfairness. It’s a hero’s job to fight that unfairness. If you want to be a pro, you’re gonna have to push yourselves to the edge. For the next three years you spend here, U.A will throw you one hardship after another. So, go beyond Plus-Ultra style.”

Aizawa gives a taunting motion with his hand “Now, show me that it’s no mistake that you’re here.”

Alright…

I’ll just have…

To give it my all then!

"Hey Dad! Did Pops move my meds to the high shelf again? I can't find them!" I anxiously paced the kitchen, not mentally prepared for my first day at UA. Let alone having my dad as my homeroom teacher and All Might as a teacher in general. My dad sent me a cautious glance at my pacing, studying me for a moment before grabbing my meds from the top shelf. I hoisted myself on top of the kitchen counter, ready for a lecture after my medication but it never came.

"It's normal to be nervous for your first day." I looked at my dad while I fidgeted.

"Can we go over everything again? I'm just freaking out. Probably for no reason but I am." He nodded and took a sip of his coffee.

"The school has your educational plan and even if they didn't, I'm your primary teacher and Pops is your english teacher. So you're allowed to have your fidget cube, you're allowed to have your earbuds in during independent work and tests. If you have to go to see Chiyo at any time you just have to tell the teacher and leave. You and Hitoshi will be the first ones there basically everyday. And you won't get docked points for turning in work late as long as it's done in full." I nodded along while he spoke, the reassurance working wonders on my nervous system.

"Okay.."

"Still freaking out about your first day?" I looked at my brother and nodded sheepishly. "It won't be that bad, we just have All Might as a teacher." I groaned and hopped off the counter, trying to force that thought away from my mind.

"Joy." Our dad chuckled at my deadpanned words before finally getting us out the door.

"Okay, I have to go talk to Sunshine and Nemuri in the teachers lounge, so boys, keep an eye on each other and no wandering off." We nodded and found our desks, setting our things there before sitting on the counter next to the windows.

"Do you think he's in our class?" I sighed at my brothers question and nervously watched the door.

"Which he? Bakugou or a certain green haired boy you've been crushing on for over a year now?" Hitoshi bumped his shoulder into mine, joking around at my remark. "I hope Bakugou isn't in here, I don't want to get in another fight." He snorted at my words but knew the truth held to them.

"We only know that the four of us got in, there's another hero class so maybe he didn't get into ours." I nodded along, hoping that's what happened.

We watched students come in one by one. A few of them stopped to talk to us until Bakugou walked in like he owned the place, he sat at his desk and we glared at each other. Hitoshi gave me a look, silently telling me to just leave it be. He kicked his feet up on the desk right as a different student walked in. Another blond trailed in shortly after, a black lightning bolt in his hair.

"Hey, the names Kaminari Denki. Wait weren't you in the same area as me for the exam?" I looked at the blond and nodded, remembering that electric blond hair and bright smile.

"Yeah, you had a few lichtenberg figures on your arms cause uh Recovery Girl had to heal some people and we were stuck waiting outside her office." He sheepishly rubbed his neck, his hair flopping to the side a bit.

"Yeah, didn't she have to patch you up to cause your quirk?" It was my turn to sheepishly nodded.

"Yeah, I uh, strained my vocal cords."

"I didn't even know those could strain!" I chuckled lightly, trying not to nervous ramble because he was cute, and he was talking to me. However we were interrupted by a student yelling and Kaminari excused himself.

"Take your feet off of that desk now!" I hid my smirk as the kid with glasses yelled at Bakugou.

"Oh this is gonna be good." I whispered to Hitoshi, the two of us perking up as Midoriya froze in the doorway.

"Huh?" I grimaced at Bakugou's sarcastic tone.

"It's the first day and you're already disrespecting this academy by scuffing school property, you cretin!" I couldn't control my laughter anymore, officially amused at the new kid trying to put the blond in his place. He clearly went to a private school.

"You're kidding me, right? Your old school put a stick up your ass? Or were you born with it?" I made haste getting across the room to my friend, making sure I could play interference with Bakugou when needed.

"Hey Midoriya." I mumbled as Toshi and I walked over to our friend. He squeaked out of anxiousness.

"H-Hi! I didn't know Kacchan was in this class!" We nodded in sync, about to respond until two students interrupted us.

"Good morning! My name is Iida Tenya from Somei Private Academy!"

"Tsukare Onryo."

"Shinsou Hitoshi."

"I'm Midoriya Izuku. It's super nice to meet you." His voice wavered and I looked at my friend worried.

"Midoriya. You realized that there was something more to the practical exam, didn't you?" Now I was just confused. "You must be very perceptive. And I completely misjudged you, I admit. As a student, you're far superior to me." A girl came up after so Hitoshi and I took that as our cue to leave, I could almost smell his jealousy.

I was sat between Bakugou and Kaminari, I know it wasn't on purpose but it still sucks. Meanwhile Hitoshi sat directly behind Midoriya and because there's an odd number of students, a girl with a black ponytail was placed up front on the far end. Thankfully we sat down when we did because not even a minute later, I saw our dad flop down outside the door in his sleeping bag.

"If you're just here to make friends then you can pack up your stuff now." I tried not to laugh at how ridiculous he looked. "Welcome to UA's hero course." He unzipped his sleeping bag and pulled out one of his protein pouches. I looked at Hitoshi and found him trying not to laugh as well. We watched as he stood up and stepped out of his sleeping bag. "It took eight seconds before you all shut up. That's not gonna work. Time is precious. Rational students would understand that." He looked over and I hoped nobody could put together he was at least one of our fathers. We know how dangerous it could be. "Hello, I'm Aizawa Shouta. Your teacher." The rest of the class gasped in shock except me, Toshi and another student. "Right, let's get to it. Put these on and head outside." He pulled out the gym uniform and I felt my blood run cold. I don't wear short sleeves outside and I don't want to give anyone any ammunition against me.

I followed Hitoshi and rushed to the locker room with him, hoping if I get there soon enough then I can change in a bathroom stall. My skin was starting to crawl at the thought of people seeing and judging. Hitoshi and I were thankfully the first ones there so I booked it to the bathroom and started changing, freezing up when a vicious banging rapped on the door.

"Get the hell outta there already, I gotta use it." My throat welled up and I didn't know what to do.

"There's another stall, use that one." He borderline growled but I heard the door next to me slam and I willed myself not to cry. To not let the flashbacks come back. A light knocking brought me out of my thoughts.

"Onryo, you alright? We have to head out." I heard the door open and shut multiple times, students leaving the locker room. The stall door next to me slammed shut, rattling the walls and making it harder to breathe.

'Why is this happening?'

"T-Tell him I'm going to see Chiyo." There was a heavy pause before I heard him mumble okay and leave.

After a moment I raced to Chiyo's office in my gym uniform, keeping my arms wrapped tightly around my stomach as a form of comfort. Dad might be upset I'm missing the first the lesson but he knows enough about my quirk and if needed I can make it up later.

Chiyo looked up as I stumbled into her office, short, quiet breathes that were labored with tears flowing down my cheeks.

"Oh dear, come sit, come sit. Let me get you some water." I sat on one of the cots, watching closely as she drew the privacy curtain. "Here you go dear, do you want me to call one of your dads? And do you need your medication?" I nodded to both, not really paying attention. Everything was too much. Everything was overwhelming. The memories. The flashbacks.

I swallowed the pill without thinking, my leg bouncing rapidly and I didn't have anything to cope.

"Onryo?" I heard Pops' voice as the door opened. His head popped in between the curtain and he moved to sit down next to me, an arm wrapping around my shoulder. "Panic attack?" I nodded, placing my head on his shoulder. "Do you know what caused it?" I nodded again. "Do you wanna talk about it?" I sniffled and wiped my eyes, the tingling feeling starting to subside.

"Can I talk about it at home or after I talk about it with Chiyo? So I know how to word it better?" He placed a kiss to my forehead and ruffled my hair.

"Okay, we'll talk about it later then, yeah?" I nodded and gave him a hug, holding him tightly for comfort. He hugged me back, rubbing soothing circles on my back. "I have to leave for my next class, little listener, but I'll see you for English. I love you."

"Love you too." He smiled and left the room, exchanging a few pleasantries with Chiyo before the door clicked shut.

"We'll talk about this more tomorrow, you sit and relax here until the next class, dear."

"Is it okay if I go change back into my uniform first?" She nodded and I wasted no time in getting up and rushing back to the locker rooms. It didn't take me long to change thankfully, and before I knew it I was sitting on the cot again. "Chiyo?"

"Yes, dear?" I clicked my fidget a few times as I thought about my words.

"Do you know why I had flashbacks?" She spun around in her seat, looking at me with a sad face.

"It could be an anniversary effect. This is about the time you were with your first foster family." I nodded, puzzle pieces finally clicking together.

"Will I ever get better?" She hopped down and sat next to me, placing a cold hand on top of mine.

"It may not feel like it but you have, time heals wounds. Yes you'll have setbacks, and it may not seem like you've grown, but I remember this small, skittish boy afraid of his own shadow sitting in my office who barely had a taste of love or happiness. Now, he's gotten in a fight to stick up for his friend, has dreams and accomplishments at a young age, and beat some dark times. And I'm very proud of him." I almost cried at her words.

"If I asked you to, would you heal my scars?" She pondered it for a moment but I already knew her answer.

"No, I don't think so. They show where you've been, what you've overcome, how you got to be where you're at today. There may be bad memories tied to them, but if I took them away then you wouldn't be able to find the positive outlook yourself. I can't give you all the answers after all." I sniffled and wiped a stray tear.

"Sometimes you never fail to confuse me Chiyo." She hummed and patted my hand once more before getting off the cot.

"My job isn't to make sense all the time, now is it?" I chuckled slightly, still coming down from the panic attack.

"Uhh, Recovery Girl?" I piped up at the sound of my friends voice. "I hurt my finger using my quirk, Mr. Aizawa sent me here." Something about Midoriya being a late bloomer for a quirk is still sitting odd with me. I suppose it can happen but it shouldn't be putting this much strain on his body. It feels like he's lying about something though and it's giving me a bad feeling. "Tsukare? What are you doing here?"

"Uh, I'll explain later." Midoriya nodded quickly, his green hair flopping everywhere. "I'll see you back at class, yeah?"

"Okay!" I quickly left, saying goodbye to Chiyo and awkwardly walked to the classroom door.

Dad stared at me as I walked in, shooting me a knowing look that would be scary to anyone else as I sat back at my seat. I could practically feel Hitoshi and Bakugou drilling holes into my head with how hard they were staring and glaring. Classes dragged, I couldn't focus, my mind all over the place until the lunch bell rang.

"Onryo, would you mind staying after for a moment?" I nodded, noticing how Hitoshi and Midoriya decided to wait outside the door for me. "Hitoshi told me you had to go to Chiyo's office, is everything okay?" I hesitantly nodded, bouncing my leg where I stood.

"Pops swung down to the nurses office to check in on me, I uh, had a panic attack." His tired eyes shot up to me in concern since I hadn't had one in a while. "I talked to Chiyo about it and I told Pops I would explain more back at home, if that's okay." He nodded softly, his long hair covering most of his face.

"Get to lunch, Hitoshi and I will fill you in later on what you missed during the exercise." I quietly agreed and left the classroom to find not only Midoriya and Hitoshi, but also the girl from earlier. I didn't really catch her name but my brother looked uncomfortable.

"Sorry, he wanted to know why I wasn't at the exercise earlier." The three nodded while Hitoshi just stuck his hands in his pockets.

"I don't think I've introduced myself to you yet. I'm Uraraka Ochaco!" I gave her a smile and waved slightly.

"I'm Tsukare Onryo."

——————

"Onryo? Do you wanna talk about what happened earlier?" Pops asked from the living room. I rubbed the back of my neck as I sat on the couch with my family, already feeling guilty about problems arising again.

"I had flashbacks again." My leg bounced rapidly and I tried to stop the tears that wanted to surface, my voice getting thicker as I tried to speak. "Bakugou was pounding on the door when I was getting changed and then slammed the other one twice. I talked to Chiyo, she said it's probably an anniversary effect. So it should be done soon I guess." All eyes were on me and it made me even more anxious.

"Well, there's only so much we can do. So let's ride this out, it's just another speed bump, little listener." I nodded stiffly, wiping my eyes before any tears could fall.

"So uh, what did I miss during the exercise?"

"Dad restrained Bakugou with his capture weapon and erased his quirk cause he tried to blow up on Midoriya." I couldn't stop the small chortle of amusement from leaving my body.

"I wish I could've seen it."

"Let's just hope tomorrow you don't go against Bakugou in the mock battles for hero training." I groaned and rolled onto the couch, grabbing onto our dark grey house cat Mittens and hugged her close to my chest.

Hopefully Pops didn't design my hero costume horribly.
