Golden Child (Bakugou x Reader)

Hi there ! I just found your blog and I liked your writing ✨ jealous Bakugo gives me life lol

I also saw your requests are open! So if may, I’d love to see Bakugo apologizing to female reader, a little angst with happy ending!

Hopefully I’m requesting this correctly ._.

Thank u ❤️☺️

Thank you for your kind words and for your request! This is the first one ever for this blog. I did take some liberties and feel like I went overboard with this haha which I really hope your okay with and I hope you enjoy my dear.

Note: For some context, takes place at the beginning of first year. Both Bakugou and Reader have crushes on one another but they are not together.

Word Count : 2.5k

Things were so much easier when he was younger. 

From birth, Bakugou was to be the best, and he was the best. Everybody said he was at the top. And he was.

No one could beat him.

And no one dared try.

Then U.A happened.

Bakugou’s world became more vast, it was filled with more people, and there were new powers he saw. Before U.A, faces looked upon him in admiration. Sometimes he still got that- but others got that too. Plenty of classmates had ensnared the eyes of so many others. Praises were thrown left and right. Icyhot, Four-Eyes, Dunce-face….even Deku. The thought drove him mad. His world was being rebuilt from the ground up. It was evolving.

And frequently you came into Bakugou’s focus.

You dominated in every fight you were in.

You knew exactly how to throw all his vicious words right back at him.

You weren’t afraid of anything.

You had a stupid smile that never left his mind.

Bakugou was so angry at himself one night when he couldn’t stop thinking about your smile- that he smashed a pillow to his face and screamed into it. Just so he could relieve himself a bit. But it still didn’t help much because his ears still flared afterwards.

Yet, for all your courage and the way you weren’t afraid to speak your mind.

You were so kind. You were nice to everyone…even him. Bakugou didn’t know how you had it in you. You helped everyone when they were down, you comforted people, and you gave advice freely. 

Bakugou wished…that you reached a hand out to him more though despite everything. He didn’t need help. The thought of someone pitying him made Bakugou sick to his stomach. But he wanted you to put a hand on his shoulder. Maybe say the stereotypical- ‘It’s all gonna be okay’. Even though that’s not what he really needed to hear.

This was all bullshit.

What was even more bullshit was how you especially helped Deku out. Deku broke his arms every other fight and you graciously offered him pointers. You were instructing him right now. Plus, you were smiling. 

At Deku. 

Disgusting.

Bakugou eyed the both of you from the sidelines. Everyone in Class 1-A was split off into different groups. At the moment, the two of you were on the training mat. You were going into various maneuvers- the nerd was eagerly nodding his head along to your words. You modeled different forms for him and Deku continually would praise them. He was too damn happy-go-lucky. 

Bakugou could see Deku’s mouth moving but couldn’t quite make out what he was saying. You happily replied, “Well… how about you try it on?”

Deku held up his hands nervously and fretted for a moment. But you insisted.

“Come on Midoriya! We are training- just do it! So I’m just gonna run at you. It will be fun!”

“Okay Y/N…”

The two of you moved to opposite sides of the mat. Deku planted his feet in the ground firmly then nodded at you. You nodded at him back- then took off. 

You charged at him with everything you had, and when you came within arm’s reach of him. Deku lowered himself slightly, then moved upward swiftly, with the combined motion of both you and him. Deku flipped you on to your back. 

However, Deku didn’t even notice how his Quirk flared for a moment with the adrenaline he felt. He felt one brief second of accomplishment before he heard the loud thunk of you slamming into the ground. Too loud…

You groaned.

Deku came to your side immediately, a stream of words spilling out, “Oh I’m sorry! S..sorry… I didn’t even realize what I was-”

You put up a hand, “No you’re fine Midoriya! I’m glad you pulled it off.”

Deku reached out to you, and you accepted it.

However, you faltered. You pressed a palm to your lower back.

You huffed, “On second thought…”

Deku panicked again.

“Midoriya it’s fine. Nothing Recovery Girl can’t handl-”

Bakugou didn’t realize what he was doing. Why his legs were moving by themselves, and why he rushed forward as fast as he could.

Goddamnit.

Bakugou came upon the two of you and declared, “I’ll take you there.”

You gazed up at him, and Bakugou met you with his own eyes. You averted your own quickly when he did that. You stammered out quietly, “Oh…sure Bakugou-san…”

Bakugou was carrying you piggy back style to Recovery Girl’s office.

You had tried to say that as long as he just walked with you- it would be fine. But then Bakugou just yelled for you to hop on before he changed his mind.

You were pressed ever so slightly into him.

You were so close to him.

And you didn’t mind it one bit.

Until Bakugou opened his mouth.

“Y/N- you shouldn’t even bother with these extras.”

You shifted on Bakugou’s back.

“What do you mean Bakugou?”

“It’s exactly what I said…just don’t bother with everyone.”

Bother. That was one way of putting things. You fumbled with your hands that were in front. You had no clue what Bakugou was trying to get at…if anything you were just being yourself. This was part of being in U.A, this was a part of being a hero. Helping your classmates came as natural as breathing.

You weren’t really in the mood to argue with Bakugou. Your back wasn’t your friend at the moment and he could just drop your ass to the ground if you guys did argue. And you…just really didn’t want to.

Bakugou, despite all his flaws (particularly his choice of words and arrogance), you couldn’t help but admire him. He was strong…fierce….handsome. 

You fumbled with your hands in front of him.

That mouth on him frequently clashed with all your positive thoughts of him. Your need for respect demands you always say something right back at him. Lately, you were trying to just tell yourself to be calm and let it go over your head. Bakugou seemed to kind of back off as well. Which was…weird. Once again, you found yourself confused with how you felt. You kind of grew used to his remarks and even anticipated them.

What was your brain even doing?

“Well, in my opinion, none of our classmates are bothering me.”

“Tch, sure…”

Now what the hell did you expect- To not get a response like that from him?

You stated, “You can’t claim to know my feelings.”

Silence.

You spiky headed asshole.

So you added, “Maybe, if you reached out a hand more or accepted one from others. You would find that you wouldn’t be so miserable.”

That made Bakugou stop in his tracks. He craned his neck backwards and attempted to glare at you. You did catch a glimpse… so you scowled at him.

Bakugou honestly didn’t know how to reply to that. But the first thing to come out of his mouth was, “Don’t tell me what to do.”

He turned forward and marched onward. He heard a small sigh out of you and then you offered, “Literally though- I could give you some tips. We could train together!”

It made Bakugou’s heart flip to hear you say that. But he drowned that feeling quickly because he zoned in on the fact that you were offering him help. That you thought he needed it…that he wasn’t strong…and he was weak. You were so full of it. Did you really think so little of him? And you helped Deku…and now you oh so graciously offered him help. You had a lot of damn nerve.

Bakugou spat out, “I don’t need your stupid help! I’m not weak!”

You became dreadfully quiet for a few moments.

It was unbearable for him.

Then you asked softly, “Why are you like this?”

“What the fuck do you mean?”

“One- why are you such an asshole? And two- why do you think you’re weak?”

Bakugou ignored the first question but then straightened up and exclaimed, “You just said I was.”

You scoffed, “No I didn’t. I offered to train with you…there is a big difference…”

Bakugou stopped once again.

“It’s the same damn thing to me, Y/N.”

Even though Bakugou couldn’t see you… he could sense your apprehension. He felt you shake your head, then you explained, “You confuse the hell out of me. I can’t believe I have to say this point blank- you’re not weak. I don’t believe that at all and I doubt anyone in class believes it either.”

Bakugou continued to stand still.

“And you didn’t really answer my questions at all. Why do you think you’re weak?”

He practically growled out, “I don’t!”

“Sure…”

“I’m not weak. And how you could not think I’m weak. You offered to train with me- as if I fucking need it! As if I’m…Deku…”

You narrowed your eyes at him. You knew Midoriya and Bakugou went to the same middle school. From the way Midoriya acted around Bakugou… you could feel the history between the two of them. Still- Midoriya seemed to think the world of Bakugou. 

You said, “Midoriya might break his arms every other fight but… he is growing. And that’s a good thing whether you like it or not, Bakugou. He will only get better.”

That was the wrong thing to say.

You don’t regret saying it because Bakugou needed to hear it from someone. Might as well be you. But it was the wrong thing to say because he immediately exploded.

“Things used to be so different. It was easier. I was at the top- I didn’t need to prove that I was the best! AND THEN I CAME HERE! Everyone’s growing…This is all….bullshit…”

Your breath had hitched and while you were used to his behavior. This was so…personal and you hadn’t seen this side of him. This was new.

Bakugou continued, “And you… why are you like this? Why are you so full of shit?”

And then Bakugou ruined it for you.

Your voice became shrill, “I’m the one full of shit. Are you kidding me? I’m just trying to… You really are something, Bakugou. I’m apparently full of shit but when you’re the one who just unloaded a lot of it.” 

You began to struggle on his back. Bakugou had a secure hold underneath your knees but it began to loosen with you thrashing. He shouted, “The fuck are you doing, dumbass?” 

“Getting the hell away from you!”

“You’re hur-

“I don’t care. Put. ME. DOWN.”

Bakugou slowly removed his hold from you, and you got down in about as graceful a manner as you could. When you pried away from him, he tried to walk with you, for just a few steps. Before you spun on your heels to face him and said, “Stop! Just leave me alone. I can walk by myself.”

As quickly as you could, you got away from him.

Bakugou didn’t know he could feel as lonely as he did when you left.

Recovery Girl really did work her magic as intended. Though she required you to stay for a few hours and rest. You pressed your back into one of the beds. You tried to relish the feeling of the cushion but it didn’t really help you out. Your back was better.

But your mind was scrambled.

How could someone so smart have his way of thinking? 

How could someone so strong think he was weak?

You definitely had some stronger insight on Bakugou but you still just didn’t get why he had to be that way. Despite all of what just happened…that inkling of admiration still tugged at your heart. 

You really did want to train with him.

You wanted to know him better.

You didn’t understand your own thoughts about him.

So you decided that for now it was easier to just try and doze off. Let dreams possibly take you to better circumstances, let them make you feel lighter.

Though your heart still felt heavy as you began to fall asleep.

About an hour or so later. You were flicked on the forehead and it made you jolt up in the bed. Grumbling, you rubbed your eyes and yawned. With vision becoming more defined, very clear blonde spikes became more prominent to you.

You whined.

“I’m not pleased with you. Go away.”

You were tethering between fully waking up and telling him off. Or just flipping your body over and ignoring him until he went away. Let sleep claim you again.

Bakugou started, “Look…I have just one more thing to say to you.”

You drew one long breath, and rolled your eyes.

“Go on.”

Before Bakugou could say his final piece, you did turn over on your side so you weren’t facing him. 

Bakugou started, “Tch…alright well. I don’t understand you in a lot of ways, Y/N. I don’t get why you feel the need to help our classmates. I just don-”

You interjected, “It’s just how I am and I’m going to continue to do so. I want to.”

Bakugou sighed, “Whatever…but I…take back one thing I said because it is not…true.”

You rolled back to the other side to face him, and arched your brow, “Keep going…”

Bakugou pouted.

You thought that was kind of cute.

He finished, “You’re not full of shit.”

Your eyes widened, you peered up at him, and you tilted your head to the side

Bakugou thought that was kind of cute.

You were kind of shocked that Bakugou would commit to this kind of gesture. He actually…apologized. This was new. 

Flustered, you stammered out, “I…I appreciate that, Bakugou.”

He added quickly, “I’m not in the interest of being a liar so…”

You smiled at him. A sleepy beaming one, and his heart did that flipping thing again. His chest tightened. You nestled your head into the pillow again, still looking up at him, and still grinning, “I guess…I have one more thing to say too…”

You already had all of his attention, but now his heart was racing on top of that.

“Midoriya is growing. Everyone in class is growing- and getting better. You can only get better, Bakugou…”

He glared for a second.

You gave him a look…don’t ruin it.

Bakugou gave you a haughty smile, and pointed at himself, “Well I’m going to be the best… so of course I am going to be better. Better then all of you”

You giggled.

Drowsy and sinking more into the pillow you replied, “Okay whatever you say.”

You fell right asleep again. 

Bakugou still never told you how he stayed a few moments longer that day. How he took a chance to enjoy your smile. How he enjoyed this time alone with you for a brief minute. How your words affected him but he wouldn’t admit it. How his life was changing and that he wanted you in it. 

How he realized he liked you that day.

1k event masterlist

↞ back to my hero academia masterlist

Midnight had struck, you sat beside the window, watching the sky fill with blood. Villains always cascaded down alleyways, always loving the stench of blood, you had read the news about the latest call for the escaped S rank villain. The man you had loved, the man you had fought for to bring him back to the heroes side, the day he left stayed in your head. 

You continued looking out to the sky, the crystals of stars encasing each blue and black spiral up above. Signing, you moved away from the window as you went to go turn the television off, the pictures of your ex floating across the screen. His blonde hair and tattoos surrounded his arm and shoulder, even now he kept the costume he had worn when the two of you were heroes.

Ever since you both found out the true purpose of heroes and UA, his whole life being a lie. He couldn’t stand it, you looked at his face one more time, remembering the day he had confessed to wanting to leave the hero's life. 

“I...I can’t do this anymore.” Bakugo spoke, his hands on his face as he finally looked up at you. 

“What do you mean?” You questioned walking up to him about to touch his shoulder.

His hand grabs your own, grip tightening as it felt more painful than anything else, “don’t touch me.” He shouted, making you flinch back, his grip began to tighten even more, you could almost feel him rip through your skin with his nails. 

“Katsu...owww.” His nails indented more into your skin, eyes filled with fury as he stared into your eyes, you felt blood trickle down your arm at how easily he had been able to hurt you. 

He finally let go when he saw your eyes begin to water, “I can’t do this anymore, my life it’s been built on a lie and I don't think I can be a hero anymore.” You didn't meet his eye, grabbing a towel to wipe away the red oozing blood. “I need to get out of here, I’m sorry Y/n.”

“Wh...where are you going?” You whispered out, he walked past you as if you weren't even there. 

He saw your watering eyes, how he had hurt you so easily. But he didn’t care at all, he saw right through you. “I can’t do this anymore, don’t look for me.” 

It was the last words you heard from him, he had left without a word, you had thought he had just gone for a walk and he’d be back within a day. You were so wrong, in the end he had come back to the apartment, removing all of his belongings and the sign on the screen in your agency showing the murder of a civilian. 

The splattered blood across the wall and fires that surrounded him, with a ring hanging off a nail, the ring you had gotten him. The ring that was now around your neck on a piece of metal. He had murdered someone, you needed to remember that. But all the photos were still up of the two of you. All the memories that you both lived here together surrounded the apartment, pictures from your time at UA together, to your first date, sea shells from the beach you both had visited. Even more so, the apartment remained the both of yours, it was never just yours.

You finally switched the television off ready to go to bed, but the sound of glass being smashed was heard instead. Your arms went to your head just as you saw a shadow in front of the smashed window. “Y/n.” The voice was breathless, it had been months since you heard that voice, the way he stood up scratched across his body and the most significant part the blood seeping through his hands and clothes. 

“Bakugo.” You paused, your eyes widening as you realised what he was doing, “that blood, it’s not yours is it?” 

“What happened to Katsuki, baby?” He disregarded your question, quirk activating as he had a lust for more blood. 

“Katsuki.” You breathed out heavily.

Just as he tried to come closer to you, he collapsed leaning against the sofa to gain support. “I thought you were the polite type to your guests, get me some water.”

You could barely move, but even then, he always knew he had a sort of charm with you. He had the ability to easily control you in any way, he looked at you, keeping the light off as he watched you teeter over. “Wh...what are you doing here?”

“You haven’t gotten dumb since me leaving, cops showed up whilst I was hunting some guy down.” He had become sadistic gulping the water down as you could smell the blood across his body. “I don’t bite.”

You hesitantly moved closer to the man, he looked at how your eyes had become more tired and how you refused to meet his gaze. “Why’d...did you come here?”

“You wouldn’t snitch on me, my love.” He was almost mocking you now, the way he brought his bloodied hand to your face, he put the blood around your lips. “Go on, taste it.” His voice felt enchanting as you did as he spoke, the metallic taste of blood cascaded down your throat. 

“L...leave.” You whispered, the blood creeping down your face and down your neck. You knew why you said for him to leave, the way you had gone into the kitchen and sent a text to Midoriya saying the one word you knew he’d understand. You were helping Bakugo, helping the boy to not get caught. 

“Why? Because you called for help?” He smirked, licking his fingers off the blood before moving his saliva ridden fingers around your mouth again. “I know you Y/n, you were supposed to be my good girl.”

You felt mocked and humiliated, he knew what you had done but even then, he remained by your side. His fingers moving past your lips and touching your teeth as he felt your own saliva move through his fingers. “Pl...please, go before they come.” You whimpered as he moved his fingers away from you. 

“Why? Scared I’ll kill them all.” He could almost smell the heroes and knew what the protocol was for a scenario like this, stealth was key, to get you out and into protective custody. “You could’ve caught me already, why haven’t you baby?”

“I promised you.” he remembered the promise you made after he got his hero license, that you both would never use your quirks on each other. 

The steps towards the door became louder as you felt anxious that this would be the moment Bakugo was finally caught. “Y/n.” Midoriya shouted from the broken window, having jumped up to see the two of you on the ground as other pro heroes boomed through the front door. Bakugo got up a smirk on his face as he looked at you and only you.

“You really thought this would work.” He could feel Midoriya come closer, fist clenched ready to push him, Bakugo grabbed your waist as you let out a shout as Bakugo moved past Midoriya’s one for all move, Bakugo jumped from the window with you in his arms. Quirk activating as he landed on the edge of the roof. 

“Kacchan, why?” Midoriya spoke of jumping out of your apartment, with the other pro heroes in suits. 

“Why, Deku? Because my whole life was a lie, we don’t save people, heroes create evil and vengeance, I killed all those with quirks that could kill others. I had to kill them and if you think I’m getting caught, then you’re strongly mistaken.” Bakugo shouted, you became limp in his arms, the man you loved holding you like a ragdoll. 

“Let her go, let Y/n go, she was your girlfriend, you loved her, let her be safe.” Midoriya bargained as he saw Kirishima come beside him as they both landed on the roof themselves. 

“Bakugo.” Kirishima spoke, “let her go.”

“What is this a fucking reunion? She means nothing to you, let me have her.” You couldn’t break the promise you had vowed to the boy, but in this moment in his arms, as bad as it sounded. You felt loved for the first time in months, maybe you had gone crazy, or maybe it was Bakugo stepping further and further towards the ledge that made you realise you loved him. 

“Kacchan, please, she wouldn’t want this?” Midoriya shouted, he had no plan to save you and Bakugo’s eyes were filled with fury at the two heroes who were trying to stop him. 

Bakugo saw lights flash onto him and you from a police helicopter, he knew he’d been caught but what was it to him anymore. He stopped caring about this world, he missed you, needed you and he wasn’t going to let you live in a world without him. “Goodbye.” Bakugo whispered.

He fell off the building, your arms around his neck waiting for the plummet, “I love you.” He softly spoke into your air as you collided down the building, the wind encasing your hair and clothes.

“I love you too.” You whispered, the last thing you heard was a scream from the pro heroes who had called you their friend, and Bakugo’s tight arms around you, bones crushing on impact as you fell out of this world with the man you loved.

[amajikibby]

a few ideas that run through my head about random mha/bnha. if i could write i would, but i don’t proofread or use commas :) they’re shit but i can’t get them out of my head

based off “10 Seconds” Jasmine Sullivan. i feel like this song would fit dabi the most but honestly you could use anyone.

“You broke my heart with all your lies, you really should look for an exit, cause you running out of time”

-hours. it had been hours since he had lasted called, you were fed up. for the longest time you had your suspensions that dabi wasnt telling the truth about where he would go in the middle of the night. where he went after the missions the lov gave him. he came home smelling like perfume. a smell you couldn’t get out of your nose, like it was stuck on you and him. you pushed yourself to believe some girl was drunk and all over him but this was the last time you made yourself think that..

“gave you my all and look what you did to us, cussing and looking for something to hit you with”

- you grabbed your keys thinking of where the dark haired villain could be. you almost convinced yourself to go back to bed, but that wouldn’t work tonight. you went to a few different spots, the hideout, his apartment, and even u.a., your last option was the only bar he never got noticed at. you walked in and looked around. there you saw him half drunk, with the girl you could only assume was the reason as to why he smelled like terrible perfume. you broke a beer bottle, smashed some glasses . spewing out every name in the book you could call him. before you got to hold the bottle to him, you were being taken out. “fuck you touya” you spat, he knew you lost you right then and there

“Lost Ones” - Jasmine Sullivan

-bakugo knew he was an ass to almost everyone, the only thing on his mind was being a pro hero and beating “shitty deku” at everything he could. it irked your last nerve for him to come home and give you a half assed kiss and go into his office to do more hero work. not a “hey baby, how are you?” he didn’t eat anything you cooked. you even stopped making a plate for him, he didn’t even seem to notice. it was a routine. hero work, home, more hero work, sleep. it seemed like you didn’t fit into his schedule anymore.

“try not to love no one, i know that that's too much to ask i know I'm a selfish bitch, but i want you to know ive been working on it”

-you left, you couldn’t handle the way you were being treated. you knew you still loved him but you didn’t even feel like you were apart if his life. you felt like a background character in his life. you got your own apartment, and you two never really talked unless you were at the apartment to drop some of his things. you still made dinner for two people, you just ended up calling kiri over to take it to him on most days. seeing him brought too many memories back, some that you’ll never get to have again. you ran into eachother at the supermarket, he still bought your favorite things. you two had lunch. he apologized, he almost poured his heart out, he said he loved you, but all you could do was smile sadly. “i’ll never stop loving you, but your words mean nothing to me. you’ve made me feel like i was nothing... and until you stop being selfish.. we can’t be together” you gathered your things and kissed his cheek and walked out. you got to your car and stood at the drivers side for a few moments collecting your thoughts before you got in your car.. has he changed?

random stuff

-being the girlfriend of a pro-hero who barely slept was not the easiest job. you could never get shinsou to sleep. the both of you being night owls you would get sleepy maybe an hour or two before him. the only way you were falling asleep after him was if you had work to do. you tried to do everything in your power to get the lavender hair colored boy to sleep before you, nothing seemed to be working. “toshi.. don’t you think you need to sleep” he looked up from his desk in the corner of your shared bedroom and turned to you, with half lidded eyes. ‘yes he’s getting tired’ you thought to yourself. “no kitten, i don’t. but i think you do” and with that, he turned around to face his paperwork again... this boy and his sleep schedule are going to be the death of you.

-shiggy doesn’t like to admit it but he stares at you, but not in a creepy way like he did when you first came to the lov. he stares at you to get to know you. he really likes to watch you cook, it’s rare to see it because you aren’t at the hideout. he likes to tease you, making you think you read the wrong thing, sometimes he like just sit there to taste whatever you make. “don’t touch the bottom of the pan. it’s hot” you spoke before quickly running to your room in your apartment to get your phone. you heard him yell, you already knew what happened. you walked in the room and looked at him. “i told you not to touch it. do you not understand what the hell hot means?” you walked over to him and grabbed his hand. he flinched back. “i-it doesn’t hurt.” he managed to get out behind a painful half smile. “doesn’t hurt my ass, pull away from me again and see what happens” you rolled your eyes and grabbed his hand and tended to his wound”

thank you for coming to my random ass ted talk.. you can critique my writing :) or use it as an idea i highly doubt the latter will happen

Series Masterlist

Damn why did your head hurt, you slowly open your eyes but the bright lights make you close them again.

“She’s awake.” A voice calls out. You can hear footsteps and then a sharp pain as they pull your head up from your hair. Opening your eyes you see you surrounded by villains. Some from the training camp and others during the U.S.J, you frantically try to scream only for a hand to go over your mouth resulting in you biting them.

“Oww, she bit me. I’ll kill you.” A man frowns before trying to grab only to be pulled back by Dabi. Your eyes flash red trying to use your quirk when a shock courses through your body, making you cry out.

“I wouldn’t do that.” You couldn’t move at all fear was rushing through your veins. You tried to look down and saw a glimpse of white. They put you in a straight jacket, you looked over the group eyes landing on Tomura Shigaraki. You scream curses at him struggling in the jacket only to been shocked again this time for a long time. Your muscles spasm as you scream trying to get the pain to stop. This cause Katsuki to wake up as well, he was locked in a leather chair with some kind of restraint on his hands so he couldn’t use his quirk.

”You just don’t listen.” Tomura sighed leaning against the bar a hand covering his face. The TV was playing a broadcast of the U.A. teachers giving a public apology, there was Principal Nezu, Mr. Aizawa, and Mr. Sekijiro Kan. They talked about the attack at a training camp and what measures they would be taking to protect the students. It seemed as if everything was going well until a reporter asked about you and Bakugo. Even with the protection of other students, they failed to protect you two.

“The U.A. isn’t the glorious school it says it is, they believe their failures are just but are heroes really just.” Shigaraki sighs look between the two students. “You two are just with all the darkness and hurt following you, your little episode at the Sports Festival was great. But you,” Tomura turns towards you, “It took a while to figure out who you were, Y/n Midoriya cousin to Izuku Midoriya, traveled around, quirk, blah blah blah, but this was great you more villain then Pro. Already having your first taste of blood.”

“Shut up.” You growled trying to keep your emotions in check,

“How was it! Your first kill is always a special moment.” The only other girl came bounding over to you “Watching them bleed is always the best but yours was less blood more snapping their neck but still effective.” She giggles

“You fucking Bitc-” You lunge forward in your chair only to be shocked in return your arms locking up as you briefly lost your vision, not even realizing you were screaming as Bakugo thrashed in his chair.

“I’ll kill you all.” He hissed out

“The League of Villains are fighting for a just society and we intend to win this battle.” Tomura grins waving out to the group. “If we are going to be a team we need to be equals. Dabi takes off their restraints.” Tomura points to the two of them. Dabi looks at the blonde who is giving him a look that could kill.

“I’m not touching the bastard, he just gonna fight.” Dabi looks over at his leader.

“He’s our equal as is she, and they stand no chance of winning.” Shigaraki looks at the two students. Dabi gets Twice to take off your restraints he goes over to you first and undoes the straight-jacket and when he goes for the collar he is stopped.

“Keep it gotta have some kind of leeway.” He shrugs and the collar is kept on you as you stay seating knowing if you stand you will collapse from that last shock. As Twice removes Bakugo restraints Mr. Compress apologized to you both for kidnapping you, some stuff about society, and all this crap about how they are the victims. When Bakugo’s restraints were removed Tomura approached him but Katsuki quickly attacks him sending an explosion right in his face sending the hand on his face to fall.

“This league or whatever is pointless you’re not going to change my or Y/n’s mind and we will be the best pros in the world.” With the tv still playing the broadcast, they talked about how two students from Class 1-B stopped the villain controlling the gas and no other students have any signs of emotional trauma and are being seen for their well-being. They talked about Bakugo’s behavior with his mental instability and his “villain-like” performance at the Sports Festival. Mr. Aizawa remained calm apologizing for not taming his behavior and he acts this tenacious is to become the next greatest hero. When they talked about you before a reporter could stand and ask a question someone walked over to her and whispered something in her ear and she shot up so fast 

“Is it true that one of the kidnapped students committed murder?” She yelled making you look up so fast as you felt your whole world fall apart.

“Oops was that not suppose to be released.” Toga pouted. The conference room erupted into shouts all of them asking different questions. When they were able to get the room to calm down, the original woman spoke up again.

“From a source, Y/n Midoriya killed a man in self-defense instead of getting help from the police, if it is self-defense how does the U.A. support heroes that kill and not apprehend the criminal?” She stated and you saw that all the men at the table didn’t know how to answer. Mr. Aizawa began to talk

“The U.A. will be doing a further investigation in this the main concern is getting these children home safe. No more questions.” He and the others stood up and made their way out as the reporters kept yelling out questions.

“What an event.” Toga clapped her hands.

“You bastard.” You hissed out if you weren’t in this collar you don’t even want to think of it.

“The U.A. is right about me. I will become the greatest Pro and nothing will stop me,” Bakugo said helping you stand up, “Y/n and I won’t be staying here any longer and my combat authorizations haven’t been revoked.” Shigaraki still hasn’t said anything since the hand on his face had been blown off.

“Tomura stays calm we need him alive no one touches them.” Kurogiri fears that Tomura will become violent. Shigaraki slowly bends down grabbing the hand and putting it back on his face.

“Master, they will not learn through words, I need your power.” Shigaraki called out to the Tv.

“Very well my apprentice.” The voice replies

“I thought you were the leader. Your just some little boy following his daddy.” Bakugo laughs at Shigaraki. Shigaraki looks over at Mr. Compress and Kurogiri. 

“I’ve heard enough. Knock them out.” Bakugo is holding you up not sure how he is going to fight them off. Right as the fight was about to start when there was a knock at the door.

“Kamino Pizza.” The voice called through the door everyone looked at each other confused when suddenly, All Might smashes into the hideout through the opposite wall, which shocks the League of Villains.

“Make a portal-” Shigaraki tries to order but Kamui Woods swings through the hole and uses his Lacquered Chain Prison to restrain all the villains at once. Dabi goes to burn the wood away when Gran Torino swoops in and knocks him out with a swift to the head

“The press conference was a diversion.” Mr. Compress said realizing they had been fooled. Edgeshot who was playing the pizza man used his quirk Foldabody to slip through the door and unlock it revealing a bunch of police officers which makes you sigh in relief

“You're surrounded by the police and more Pro-Heroes outside. It’s over Shigaraki.” All Might said and Tomura had no reaction to the situation. All Might turned over and looked at both you and Bakugo.

“I’m sorry you had to worry.” He said Bakugo was still holding you.

“I wasn’t scared.” Bakugo scoffed

“Well we are also not few in numbers, Kurogiri bring the Nomus.” Shigaraki ordered only for Kurogiri to frown

“They aren’t there.” Kurogiri to frown only for Edgeshot to use his quirk and knock Kurogiri unconscious.

“Your hideout factory with all Nomus had been captured as well.” All Might gave a smile. Suddenly Nomus being to appear from this black liquid making everyone look around confused.

“Is he doing this.” Gran Torino looked over at Kurogiri. Edgeshot shook his head 

“He’s not waking up for awhile. This isn’t doing.” Everyone was more focused on the Nomus enter that none of you realized that Tomura had something in his hands. A shock that felt like lightning went though you making you cry out. You tensed up knees buckling underneath you and you would have fallen if it weren’t for Bakugo who grabbed you.

“Stop it. You’re killing her.” Bakugo yelled at Shigaraki. The Pros were watching having no idea how to help you.

“We have to help her.” Kamui Woods said conflicting in his duty of stopping villains and helping people.

“Don’t let them go Kamui.” All-Might ordered. Black liquid appears around your legs covering your body surrounding and going over to Bakugo and begins to dissolve you both. All Might rushes over to grab you both but you guys are gone. 

You both materialize in the middle of a of a destroyed building in front of All for One. Unbeknownst to you two you had caught the of Izuku’s group which included, Deku, Todoroki, Tenya, Momo, and Kirishima.

“I apologize for Tomura attitude for the two of you.” The man’s voice boomed The rest of Tomura and his allies materialize from black liquid as well.

“I have failed you Master.” Shigaraki falls to his knees

“You had collected two powerful quirks for me and with your allies you will gain more quirks for me.” The man encourages Tomura. Bakugo help you up supporting most of your body weight.

“Are you ok.” He looked over you seeing that the collar had blood seeping out of it with burns trailing away from it. You nodded

“I’m great.” You slur your head lulling back onto his shoulder.

“Hey,” Katsuki smacks your cheek making your groan, “You gotta stay away from me ok.” You nodded trying to keep your eyes open.

Suddenly, All Might appears above All For One and attacks him, but he was able to detect his arrival blocking his punch. The punch creates a shockwave sending Bakugo, You, Tomura, and the Vanguard Action Squad backwards.

“He blocked it.” Bakugo watched in horror because All For One was able to block All Might. Both of you couldn’t hear  what they were talking about while fighting. All For One punches All Might sending him flying through several building. 

While he is gone All For One has black tendrils coming from his hands into Kurogiri’s unconscious body and forces him to use his quirk to open a portal. “Go Tomura you will have your revenge.”

“Why couldn’t you use your quirk before.” One of the villains named Magne protested.

“My quirk only allows people to go to known location or to me.” All For One said. All Might reappears into battle.

“We can escape will we can.” Mr. Compress said using his quirk to take Dabi who is still unconscious. The League of Villains get ready to fight and take the two of you back.

“We not gonna make it out of here Blondie.” You groan trying not put more weight on your body than Bakugo’s.

“Shut up, I’m not leaving you behind idiot.” He growled and that’s when they attacked Toga, Twice and Mr. Compress engage with you both and Bakugo however is able to fend them off with his explosions. You could tell he was being slowly outnumbered with you useless with the collar and it being a 1 against 3. 

All of the sudden the wall across from them burst open and then a huge ice ramp is created. The group flies up the ramp and now is above the battle, everyone looks up and you see it’s Deku, Tenya, and Kirishima. All For One tries to attack the boys but is stopped by All Might.

“Bakugo!” Kirishima yells you assume it was because Bakugo would listen to him if he called.

“We gotta go, come on.” Bakugo beginning to help you up knowing there time was limited.

“Just go Bakugo!” You yell, “I’m only gonna hold you back.” Bakugo grabs your shoulders.

“We’re either leaving together or not at all, so I need to you to get over your crap and help me get out of this shithole.” Whatever he said made something click. You eyes turned red and with the collar it began to shock you but you pushed through, the red glows brighter until the collar short-circuits and explodes and a burst of energy goes through the battle throwing everyone back. At the same time of the burst from you, Bakugo sends and explosion that propels you both up towards the group, sending Tomura back when he went to grab you. Bakugo sends another explosion towards the group and grabs onto Kirishima hand tightening him grip on you as you escape from the battle.

”Are you stupid of something.” Bakugo yells at Kirishima

“Guys!” You look back seeing some of the villains following you but before they could get anywhere close to you Mt. Lady uses Titan Cliff to stop them

“Go get out of here.” She yells before going unconscious. Your group landing far away from the battle and looked at each other. Deku rushed over to you throwing his arms around your shoulders.

“I’m so sorry I couldn’t save you back at camp.” He cried and you pulled him closer happy to be safe.

“You did your best, but you did save us all of you, thank you.” You looked over at Tenya and Kirishima.

“That’s what friends do.” Kirishima shrugged. You were smiling until a wave of dizziness went through making you stumble back into Bakugo’s arms.

“Y/n!” They yell worried. You bring your hand to your throat and pull back seeing blood.

“Oh god.” Kirishima gasp, what you couldn’t see was blood still falling from the multiple burns you had from the collar and there was burns going up your neck and also towards your left shoulder.

“You need a doctor now.” Tenya said ripping some of shirt and putting it against you neck, and Bakugo took over and put pressure on it.

“We have to go we still don’t know if they still following us.” Kirishima said, the group nodded and made their trek to the city. Bakugo and Kirishima were both by you Bakugo keeping pressure on your wounds while Kirishima was helping you walk. When you made it to the city the streets were crowded and that’s went Deku got a call. When he turned back to the group he explained what happen, the streets and trains were all blocked off so people can’t get into danger so we couldn’t move at all until the battle was over. They knew they would need to get you to the hospital but all they could do is stand with the crowd as they watched the giant broadcast.

As the battle continued on people were worried about All Might’s chances of victory as he wasn’t doing well. People began cheering for All Might to keep fighting even Bakugo was cheering for the Pro. Everyone was in shock seeing All Might’s true form but kept cheering for the Symbol of Peace which allowed him to regain confidence and focused One For All into his left arm before defeating All For One by switching in the last second to his right arm. The crowd watched watch as All Might switched into his Hero form and raised his arm which made the crowd go crazy, screaming and cheering. As the police appended All For One the crowd cheered and the camera turned to All Might who points to the camera

“It’s your turn.”

The crowd cheers as you all celebrate All Might’s victory. As you celebrate with your as much enthusiasm as you can not seeing Izuku crying or Bakugo watching him in question. When the police were able to reopen the trains you were able to board and head to the Kamino Hospital, where you met up with Todoroki and Yaoyorozu. Bakugo was turned into the police to be questioned while you were rushed off into surgery for your wounds. Izuku decided he would stay with you and thanked the others and the rest parted ways and made their way back home.

WAIT, LAST MINUTE INSPIRATION ❗❗

ok, so Izuku & Repair Quirk Civilian have a friendly, slightly antagonistic relationship. they like each other but that will not stop Civilian from cursing All Might every time Deku hits a villan with a Detroit Smash, and Deku just internally cringes whenever the same building gets smashed for the sixth time that month on Civilian's shift. there's banter and light threats (mainly from one party) but there's no hard feelings and it's all friendly.

At first.

Civilian slowly starts to realize their feelings when they no longer feel genuinely annoyed at Deku's antics - they know it's not on purpose, and one destroyed building means nothing if it ensures that an innocent life is saved. they still complain but it's mainly to keep up the appearance of the Overworked, Caffeine Addicted Employee. they recognize that Deku is trying his best to keep the damage to a minimum and, even if he's dead tired and in need of a vacation in the hospital, he's always there to greet them with a bashful smile and an apology for the lamppost that's shish kabobed through three cars.

they finally admit to themselves that they fell hard for him the moment he showed up to their workplace (on his off day, no less) with their favorite coffee order and a warm slice of coffee cake. they never even told him their order, but the fact that he managed to memorize it from all the times he went with them to their favorite cafe is enough to make them realize that they're down HORRENDOUS for him.

(Ochako and her dad are having a field day with this, there's a betting pool between the other employees. either Civilian makes the first move or they Deny until they Die)

Izuku, meanwhile, figured his shit out a few weeks prior to them having their revelation. property damage had always been in the forefront on his mind but shit happens, it can't be totally avoided. he's always appreciated the people who help clean up after the heroes, but to see Civilian so dedicated towards making sure that life can return to normal after such a traumatic event - it does something to his heart. they may complain, but they never half-ass a job and they're always the first one on the scene and the last one gone.

he knew it was over for him when he witnessed Civilian doing their best to comfort a young child after their home was destroyed in an attack. even if they were tired from overusing their quirk, they did their damned best to repair the quaint little house, all while hiding their exhaustion from the kid and cracking a few jokes. their dedication to the public was something he had already admired, but this was the nail in the coffin.

BUT, because they're both busy AF and have little to no social experience in this department, they both dance around the topic with all the finesse of a drunk clown on stilts. Civilian thinks Izuku is too good for an exhausted bitch like them, and while Izuku would love to ask them out, he knows he doesn't have the time to truly lavish them in all the love and affection they deserve.

Ochako is both living for this and foaming at the mouth for one of them to make a move, and Bakugo is damn near close to grabbing them both by the back of their heads and smashing them together like a little girl making her Barbies kiss.

still haven't decided on who makes the first move, my coffee is wearing off, but i hope you liked this! I've been thinking about Repair Quirk Civilian all day, i had to get this out before it haunts me 💚

if you see any spelling errors, no you didn't 💚

I was just about to go to bed before I saw this but now I won't stop thinking about it.

I AM LIVING FOR THIS. Literally it makes my heart soar. The absolute adorable-ness of two pining idiots, but also the angst potential because they refuse to say anything?? The both of them probably think that their feelings are unrequited, only further holding them back from saying anything to the other.

Maybe Izuku confesses first? It probably happens after a long long day. Much like you, anon, Our civilian protag is running low on caffeine and they just want to rest. But there was a huge battle that occurred late at night, just before they were going to head home. But as soon as they heard the news, they were heading to the site immediately. Mr. Uraraka insists that they should go home, but they refuse. Despite how heavy their body feels, there's no way that they're leaving that block to stay as rubble and debris all night. It's probably dumb, and definitely reckless, but they show up anyway.

Low and behold, Deku is there, his usual embarrassed expression in these situations plastered on his face. He can practically see whatever energy they had left draining from them as they see the destruction and he feels horrible.

He tries to tell them that they should probably go home, they refuse. So, he sticks around to watch over them while they worked. But the exhaustion, maybe some other stress, combined with their lack of caffeine and frustration over their feelings for the hero is making them snippy and him hovering over them like a helicopter parent was just getting on their nerves.

They snap at him after one too many "You should really take a break, Y/n"'s, telling him how annoying he's sounding right now. He's really hurt but he knows they don't really mean it. They're just cranky. He tells them that its only because he cares for their wellbeing so much. And maybe thats when he accidentally let's it slip that he cares about them a little bit more than in just a friendship kind of way.

The confession stuns Civilian awake, but its awkward for the rest of the night, and for a few days after that as well. Not because they don't reciprocate, but because now neither of them are sure what to do. They never responded to him, so Izuku doesn't know whether or not they feel the same, and even if they did he wouldn't know how to deal with that. And they're just freaking out because he likes them back, but much like him they're not really sure how to handle that. Not to mention how guilty they felt over being to rude to him that night.

So, their relationship becomes a bit tense and strictly buisness, up until Bakugou and Uraraka convince Deku and the Civilian respectively to just talk to each other, which they do and eventually clear the air.

Can’t Dance-BKDK

Katsuki, 25-year old chemical engineer, has begun dating one of the analysts that works in his building. They guy was a total nerd, but he was perfect for Katsuki: hot, smart, adorable—not that he’d admit this just yet.

On one of their last dates, Deku—Izuku—the emerald-eyed cutie—admitted they had gone to the same high school—Katsuki was mortified! How had he never noticed?

Deku said it was fine, that he had kept a low profile on purpose to be able to focus on his studies. He said that the only time he actually went out was to meet his friends, whom Katsuki was meeting today.

Katsuki was not nervous, not one bit. He was awesome, no doubt about it, but this was important to the nerd, so he’d try to be—ugh—pleasant.  He wondered what sort of friends the nerd had to have him meet them at a dance club—this didn’t seem like the nerd’s scene. Luckily, Deku had thought of their friend groups as a whole meeting, so his idiots would serve as buffer.

“Hey, you made it! The guys are inside already!” Deku chirped as he jogged to reach him.

“Hah? You think I’d ditch you?!” He answered on instinct, but the moment his eyes fell upon the greenette all was lost. He felt the air leave his lungs, as he took in the white sneakers he had gotten the man; skin-tight, ripped black jeans;  the almost see through white shirt and black jacket with bunched up sleeves to reveal the muscular forearms... Bakugo Katsuki was suddenly very thirsty and the smirk on his lover’s face let him know this was evident.

Leaning in for a hug, the cheeky shit asked, “Like what you see, Kacchan?” Letting a warm breath fan over Katsuki’s ear, leaving a trail of goosebumps on its wake.

He hugged back and his brain decided to work again and managed to say something halfway smooth. “Wouldn’t be here if I didn’t.”

The nerd stepped back, taking him by the hand to lead him inside and giggled. “Good. I can’t be the only one restraining myself here.”

‘Who is this confident fucker?!' Izuku Midoriya was usually shy and cute in public, an adorable mumbling mess. Sure, he was a dominant monster in bed, but never in public. Katsuki should have seen this as a red flag as to what was to happen inside, but at the moment, he was too turned on to care.

_______________________________________________________________

The club was packed and Katsuki could already feel his shoulders tense—he’d never liked crowded places, too much could go wrong. However, it seemed the nerd had planned for everything because he had rented a private area on the second floor for their “squads”, as they called themselves.

As soon as they walked past the entrance, Katsuki’s red-headed best friend, Eijirou, spotted them and ran over to wrap them in a bone-crushing hug. “Bakubro, you made it! Mido-bro, thanks for getting him to come out today!”

Izuku beamed at the small praise and went over to the table to join the rest of their friends. Katsuki, reminding himself not to cause a bad impression, suppressed the urge to make a scene, pocketed his hands, and went to sit beside Izuku, draping his arm casually over his boyfriend’s shoulders.

“So, guys, this is Kacchan! Kacchan, this is Shouto, Ochako, Shinsou, and Iida.”

“’m only Kacchan to you, Nerd,” Katsuki said, turning them to the others and giving a sharp nod to acknowledge them. “Name’s Katsuki Bakugo. Nice to meet you.”

His own friends gawked openly, “Dude, did you hear-?” “Did he just say-?” “Midoriya, you broke him!” “Bro, was nice!”

Izuku snorted and took a swig of his beer while his nerdy friends laughed and expressed their pleasure in meeting him too.

Katsuki wanted to throttle his so-called squad. Couldn’t they just be normal for once?! He almost, almost let out a whine at this. This night was going to be terrible. He needed a drink, so he snatched the bottle from his boyfriend’s hand and gulped what was left of it.

His displeasure must have been evident, because a short-haired brunette, Round Cheeks—yes, he already forgot her name—put a hand on Katsuki’s shoulder and said, “Don’t worry; Izu already told us you’re a little rough. As long as you make him happy, you don’t have to worry about faking it.”

He wasn’t sure if to feel relieved or threatened by that, but Izuku had his hand on Katsuki’s thigh and his thought process became compromised once more.

The group was hitting it off—they were one their fifth round of shots, they had no choice but to hit it off at this point—and some were starting to drift off into the dance floor. 

Mina had already dragged Kirishima two songs ago, Sero went for the bold move of asking Iida—apparently he has a robot or a daddy kink— who also dragged Ochako along; and Denki, being Denki, was starting to pull both Shinso and Shouto into the dancefloor when all of the sudden, the song changed, and Izuku’s eyes lit up.

Panic surged through Katsuki’s body. He’d told the nerd he went to parties all the time in high school and college; it was part of the jock’s image after all, but he had conveniently left off the part that he NEVER danced.

Before he could react, Izuku grabbed him by the hand and began to guide him down the stairs, but Katsuki, in a last-ditch effort, pulled back and kissed deeply Izuku, grazing the other’s bottom lip to request access, hoping to distract him.

Izuku of course was smarter and lovingly pulled away, tracing along the blonde’s features with his thumb.

“What’s wrong, Kacchan?”

Katsuki felt himself flush, giving a nervous chuckle as he rubbed the back of his neck, completely avoiding the greenette's gaze. This was so embarrassing! “Oh, um, I can’t dance” Better to admit it and avoid suffering.

But of course, being the sunshine that he is, Izuku smile broadly and took his hand once more. “Oh, is that all? And here I was, getting worried.”

Due to his current confusion because: 1. His boyfriend was overly confident in public; that had never really happened. 2. He was not deterred by Katsuki saying he couldn’t dance, and 3. Those pants on Deku left nothing to the imagination; Katsuki let himself be dragged to the dancefloor without much fuss.

Once there, Deku grabbed both of his hands and said, “Even if you can’t dance, just hold my hips while I roll them” and as he said it, he turned around and ground to the beat, the greenette’s plump ass grazing his crotch, that had Katsuki on the verge of a heart attack. All he could do was swallow and nod.

As the song continued, Deku brought a hand to caress Katsuki’s face and told him, “Relax, babe. I won’t mind as long as you don’t stop.”

With a wink, Deku turned around and continued to dance. Katsuki was awestruck at the man before him, dancing with a confidence that just added to his usual radiance. The shock at this revelation was so much, he whispered “What the fuck?”

“Oh, come on Kacchan! Don’t just stand and watch; follow me!”

And ladies and gentlemen, Katsuki tried, but he was fucking stiff.

He was usually a cocky, over-the-top competitor type, but this was just too much. Deku noticed the nerves though and brought him close, as the song shifted to something slower. With a sultry tone, he breathed, “Being all anxious won’t do you any good, cause I don’t have any plans of stopping.” Then he bit his lip in contemplation, and nodded, making a decision Katsuki was completely alien to, while he brought them chest to chest, stealing a mind-numbing kiss.

“You just gotta move in my direction; I’ll teach you.”

In the background, he could hear his friends hollerin’ and calling his name. But he drowned them out, because who the fuck can keep a straight train of thought—no pun intended—when Deku is dropping and twerking like it’s nothing?!

After two songs, Katsuki had had enough. He dragged Deku to the bathroom and locked the door.

“What the fuck, Deku?!”

Izuku eyed him with nervous eyes, searching for answers, freaking out because he had no idea what had enraged his boyfriend.

“What did I do, Kacchan?”

“You’re a nerd! We’ve never been partying, and you said you only went out to meet your friends during high school and college. Why the fuck can you dance like that?!”

At this point, Katsuki was clearly frustrated and confused. Now he can admit his words didn’t make much sense, but he was caught off guard at the moment; can’t really blame a guy.

Izuku’s big emerald eyes widened and then something clicked. He doubled over laughing, only increasing Katsuki’s frustrations.

“What the hell nerd, just answer me!”

Gasping for breaths between his laughter, he attempted to calm the blonde. “Oh, oh Kacchan is that-is that what was worrying you?” Another wave of laughter.

“Are you making fun of me? Izu, I thought you trusted me, but you’ve been lying to me!”

“No, no, no! Kacchan, I haven’t lied at all. I did only go out to meet my friends, but it was to a dance class! I could’ve sworn I told you about it on our second date.”

“Oh...”

/Oh/

Their second date was the time they went to the amusement park; the first time they made out. No wonder he didn’t remember! There were more pressing, memorable, matters at hand, after all.

Then, it was like Izuku had flipped a switch. He got closer and wrapped his arms around Katsuki’s neck, bringing their lips together briefly, before nipping along the blonde’s jaw and neck, making him bite back a moan. With an almost animalistic growl, Deku whispered into Katsuki’s ear as his hands made their way down the engineer’s body.

“Why? Were you a little jealous, or just upset I haven’t shown you everything I can do?”

Katsuki snapped, caging the greenette against the wall, he bit playfully at the other’s shoulder and asked, “Oh, is that so? Care to show me what you’ve been holding back, Deku?”

“Gladly.”

But just as he smashed their lips together, the door swung open, startling them and making them scramble to cover their evident arousal.

“What the fuck Pikachu?!” Bakugo seethed.

‘Damn it! So close!’

Denki rushed into a stall, apologizing when he was already inside. “Sorry Bakubro, can’t hold it in!”

“I thought you’d closed it!” Izuku looked at him with panic in his eyes, hands still smoothing over the dark jeans to put everything back in its place.

Katsuki, still fuming at the interruption, hissed, “I did!” Looking towards the stall and wondering how the hell the other blonde had broken through.

Draping a hand around his boyfriend’s shoulders, moment clearly gone, he began to chuckle at Izuku’s embarrassment as he led him back to their area. 

That reaction was more like the nerd he knew. Although confident dancer Izuku had him with a constant hard-on, he has to admit he loved how cute his boyfriend could be when he was flustered. His sexy-ass moves would have to wait until they got back to one of their apartments, but that night was one he’d never forget.

Tickling! Plus Ultra! 4

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

<This chapter contains mentions of Manga Spoilers>

“We’re nothing alike.” Bakugo growled at the villain in front of him. “I’m way more cooler than you. I’m gonna be the number one hero.”

“Sure, sure.” Dabi said, waving his hand dismissively. He looked Bakugo up and down, a smirk still plain on his face. Bakugo wanted to blast that stupid look off of that face. It was like Dabi was so calm about everything going on, not at all worried about Bakugo or anything else for that matter.

“You’re all gonna be dead. The pro heroes are going to rip you losers to shreds.” Bakugo said, sparks of flames jumping from his fingertips just thinking about when he would be able to safely fight back against these villains. Of course, he wanted to put out a fight now, but it was definitely too dangerous for him to fight back. Even he knew that. 

“Like the last time? Please. You should know by now that the heroes are just about as useful in these situations as the quirkless. The only difference is that they make more of a mess.” Dabi said and licked his lips. He looked around thoughtfully, his hands shoved in the pockets of his jacket. “Listen, you and I both know how a fire can burn, right?”

Bakugo didn’t respond. Just glared at him. 

“Right…well, from my observations of the heroes and others like us…they’re far too dangerous to be in the hero business.” Dabi continued, unbothered by the silence of the boy in his care. Bakugo wondered what he meant by that, but didn’t voice his curiosity.

“Take the Number two…well, I suppose, thanks to you, he’s the number one hero now. Endeavour.” Dabi said, spitting out the name as if it were a piece of trash. Bakugo supposed that the league of villains would hate the pro heroes, but the way that Dabi spit out Endeavour’s name made him think that maybe there was something else there. 

“Fire. While people like your so-called teachers will try to convince you that the fire you use can be used for their own good. To save…that is not fire’s true nature. It is only to burn.” Dabi said, pressing his fingers against his scarred chin. He turned back to Bakugo and smiled. 

“You’re talking fucking nonsense! I can be a number one hero with my flames of fury!” Bakugo said, throwing a ball of fire towards Dabi. The villain easily stepped aside, using his own flames to push Bakugo’s aside.

“We can use our quirks to burn down the false heroes like Endeavor. We can expose them for who they really are!” Dabi laughed, stepping closer to Bakugo. He raised a hand and it looked as if he was going straight to Bakugo’s neck. Then, he stopped. 

“You know all about these heroes who claim to better the world, but are only in for their own selfish reasons. After all, the traitor amongst your class informed us about the weaknesses of your dorm so we could snatch you up. Not very heroic.” Dabi tisked, shaking his head. “And then there’s your dear friend Shoto. Has he ever told you about how he had gotten that scar? Why he refuses to use his left side?”

Bakugo went back to being silent. He was seething on the inside. Of course he knew about Half and Half’s scar and the reasoning for it. Ever since the fight between him and Deku, the entire class knew about it. Shoto was slowly coming out of his shell and telling jokes, but they all seemed to be related to his past trauma. 

But the thing that was really bothering him was the mention of a…traitor? Someone among their ranks that willingly handed out information to the league of villains? Who the hell would do something so damn stupid? 

“I’ll let you think about that for a while, little fireball.” Dabi said, patting his head on Bakugo’s spiky hair.

“Oh she’s really giggling now.” Toga laughed as she continued to dig her fingers all over Uraraka’s stomach. She poked around and dug her fingers into Uraraka’s navel. All the poor girl could do was laugh as the tickling continued. It became apparent not too long ago that she definitely couldn’t get herself free from the nomu’s grip.

“EhehahahahahahAH! Nohohoho! Plehehehehehease! Ihihihihhi caahahahahan’t!” She laughed and giggled, her laughter spiking up every time that Toga’s wiggling tickling fingers swiped over her belly button. Unlike Deku, she wasn’t one to wiggle and squirm when she was tickled. All of her energy was usually spent just laughing and trying to think of some kind of counterattack. Not that there was any hope of doing that now. 

“You know, your cheeks are usually pretty pink, but this is ridiculous. You’re super ticklish all over this cute little belly. Is that why you leave it so exposed all the time?” Toga teased. It seemed impossible, but Uraraka turned an even darker shade of red as she was teased. This was just about her biggest weakness when it came to tickling. Sure, she was pretty ticklish, but it was the teasing that really got under her skin. Just as she felt as she couldn’t take any more, Deku yelled from the other side of the room. 

Using only 10% of his concentrated power, Deku twisted and broke free of the intense grip of the nomu. The monster growled, it’s fangs snapping together in frustration. It reached for him as he landed carefully on the ground. 

“Well, I guess I should have worn you out a bit more.” Toga said, stopping her torment of Uraraka and instead pulling out her knives. “Looks like i’ll just have to cut you up a little bit before taking you in as my pet! How fun!” 

Deku jumped again, darting out of the grasp of the incoming nomu. He kept a close eye on Toga as she lept towards him. Using his quirk, he darted out of the way from her as well. Instead of looking frustrated, Toga looked thrilled.

“You’ve grown so much my little Deku!” Toga said, shifting her stance in order to face where Deku was bouncing now. It was hard to actually get a good look at him as he was jumping around the room. He was using the ceiling and the surrounding walls as he did so, using basically anything he could as a jumping off point. 

He needed to get the others free, but he didn’t know how exactly he was going to do that. It wasn’t as if he could pry them out of the nomu’s grip without seriously injuring them. These monsters were ridiculously strong and any attempt to just pry his friends away using brute force would probably end up in some dislocated shoulders and hips. So how–?

A sharp stab of pain darted through his leg and he stumbled during his run, half smashing himself into a nearby wall.

“There we go! I knew I would get you eventually if I just kept throwing my knives!” Toga laughed, getting another handful of her knives in order to get another shot. It didn’t appear as if she would stop until he was a bloody heap…she was having far too much fun. Suddenly, Deku stopped. He stood between Toga and his captured friends.

“Toga. I’ll go with you. Willingly.” Deku stated with more confidence than he felt. He was terrified of what this maniac would do to him. Especially after all of that tickling had taken him apart so carefully. 

“No! You can’t!” Uraraka exclaimed, straining against the Nomu’s grip.

“Don’t give up yet, Deku! You can take her!” Kirishima yelled. Honestly, Deku was kind of surprised to hear something from the red head. He had been quiet most of this ordeal anyways. Strange. 

“Aw, you’ll give up that quickly. I only just pricked you. No fun.” Toga said with a small pout before putting her knives away. As disappointing as it was for her to stop her chase, she was relieved that her new little pet would so willingly run into her arms.

“Only if you free my friends. If you don’t, I’ll have to fight you and believe me, I’ll win.” Deku said, pointing a finger at himself. Just against Toga and this other guy, he could definitely win. He’s seen them fight enough to know their styles. Sure, it wouldn’t be easy, but he had confidence in his abilities now. Thanks to the training that UA had put him through, he definitely had the strength.

But

If it meant that his friends would be freed…he would gladly give himself up. It’s what a true hero would do. 

Toga thought about this, bobbing her head from side to side as she entertained this idea. Sure, she could probably fight her best, but she had never seen her little green bean jump around as fast as he was right now. But, what would that mean for his little friends? Where would they go? Surely to some pro heroes who were always so bent on getting them behind bars. But, jail was so goddamn boring.

An evil smile spread across her face.

Todoroki sent his ice wall at the monsters in front of him. It broke through both the wall of the dorm and the wall of nomus. A few stumbled aside and he managed to catch one in an actual ice trap. He also set ice across the ground, giving Shoji a clear icy path to where they needed to place the mattress. Without hesitating, Shoji pushed himself across the ice and towards the spot they had agreed upon. As he did, several Nomus reached out and swiped at him. Todoroki used both sides of his body to fend them away from Shoji. 

Even Mineta was helping. Well, as much as he could. He yelled as he tossed his purple balls at anything that happened to move.

Which also happened to include Todoroki himself. One of the purple balls stuck right in front of his foot and he lost his balance. Rather ungracefully, Todoroki crashed to the ground. He slid to a stop in front of another nomu, which proceeded to pick him up by his shirt. 

“Sorry!” Mineta yelled, the top of his head already beginning to bleed. He didn’t stop throwing his balls everywhere he could. Some bounced harmlessly off the ground while others hit Nomus and made them stick to the place they were already standing. 

“Now, Shoji!” Todoroki yelled as the heavy arms wrapped around him. The crushing weight was enough to push the air from his lungs. 

Shoji tossed the mattress onto the ground before getting caught himself. Two different nomus grabbed him, tackling him to the ground. 

Tsuyu had assured him that she would be able to get Iida to a specific part on the ground because of her perfect aim with her tongue. Todoroki just hoped that this was true. Though he did have a few back up plans, this was the one that he found the most promising.

Iida dropped onto the mattress. The nomus all turned to look at what had just happened. Not soon enough, however, as Iida began running in the direction of the school as soon as he got his balance.

“We’re coming, guys. Hang in there,” Todoroki muttered breathlessly.

~

“Have you ever wondered what it would be like if everyone was as powerful as we are?” Dabi wondered, getting comfortable on a nearby chair. He tossed his legs up, resting his feet on a table. He lazily bounced around a blue ball of flame between his fingers. “If these so-called heroes were held to the same standards as what they call villains.”

Bakugo ventured a few steps from where he had been standing. Dabi didn’t seem to mind his moving. Slowly, Bakugo began to look at his surroundings, looking for any way to escape.

“We’re just trying to keep these shit heads accountable. They all try and tell everyone that we’re the bad guys when we’re just trying to show the flaws in the heroes as a whole.” Dabi said with a wave of his hand. “They will claim that we’re in the wrong when we’re just taking you on a short ride around the city. They’re the ones who are holding you and your class hostage in that shit building they’re calling your dorms. They’re the ones who willingly send you back to shit homes at the end of the day.”

Bakugo looked over at Dabi curiously. He didn’t think that a villain like this would be this concerned about living arrangements. Dabi noticed his look.

“I’m just saying. If they were anything like what a school should be, they would have had a real talk with some parents already. I mean, some of these kids don’t exactly want to go home, right? Listen, fireball, if you stick with us, you won’t have to worry about your ma wailing on you all the time. That ain’t what parents are supposed to do.” Dabi said.

Just for a moment…a tiny moment…Bakugo considered it. After everything he had been through in the hero course, getting muzzled, getting told he was a monster, being put through hell trying to train for some dream he had come up with as a kid. He was still a kid, damn it. 

“We’re back! Thank you for the escort!” Toga said as she bounced into the building. Bakugo tensed as she sauntered in. Tailing behind her was the rest of the villainous crew…and that damn nerd Deku.

“You were stupid enough to get yourself kidnapped, Deku?” Bakugo barked at his friend. Midoriya looked a little sheepish, but shrugged. He seemed too nervous for a rebuttal. It was weird to see him this nervous ever. Sure, he was a little bit of a crybaby at times, but this was different. His usual hopeful look was completely gone. 

“What took you so long?” Shigaraki asked, scratching at his neck as he did so. He seemed anxious to leave.

“I wanted to have some fun with my new pet.” Toga whined before leaning over and giving Deku a huge kiss on the cheek. Deku huffed in disgust and rubbed at his cheek to get rid of the spit she had left over. Gross. He made his way over to Bakugo, standing near him.

“How are you holding up, Kacchan?” Deku asked, looking his friend up and down for any kind of wounds. When there didn’t appear to be any, a small relieved smile played on his lips. 

“I’m fine, idiot. What about the others? Did they take you too?” Bakugo asked, nudging his friend in the side. Deku’s smile became strained and he rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment.

“Uh…well…not exactly. I kind of…followed them.” Deku said with a nervous chuckle. Bakugo smacked him on the back of the head.

“You idiot! Now we’re both stuck here.” Bakugo huffed with a roll of his eyes. How the hell were they supposed to get out of this now? Not that he had been placing all of his hope on Deku, but this definitely wasn’t good.

“It’s alright. I left a clue or two for the authorities to find so that they could get to us faster.” Deku said with a small nod. Bakugo grit his teeth. Hopefully, they would be found in time.

“Let’s hurry up and get out of here before some–” Shigaraki said before the wall behind him blew up.

There, standing amongst the rubble, were pro heroes ready to free the students captured by the league of villains. 

They were saved. Thanks to the hard work of their fellow students and the clues that Deku had dropped along the way during his transit, the pro heroes were able to quickly track down where the students were being held. Uraraka and Kirishima were also able to follow along, despite Toga’s best efforts to tickle them both too crazy to even think about following them.

GA!babe

[nebula-jazz]

Hi I love your writing and i wonder if it's ok a deku and or bakugo finding out they're s/o comes from a abusive house hold maybe they're over like for the holidays and he finds out first hand or how they react to them raising they're voices or hand

AWWW thank you! And I’ll do both for you!

Deku

He had been begging you since thanksgiving. He had introduced you to his mother and you have been dating since spring. You always avoided the topic of your parents and where you went during breaks. But his puppy face and tears just broke your heart and you eventually caved.

It was christmas eve and Izuku was gathering the presents that both of you got. He was excited to see you in the fancy clothing that he had bought you an had you open earlier. He was disappointed when he saw that you instead came out in more bland and less flattering clothes. 

Concerned he came up and gently looped his arms around your waist.

“What’s wrong Baby?” He asked. His emerald eyes showing his concern. You smiled shakily.

“Nothing ZuZu! My mother usually makes messy meals for the holidays... I didn’t want to get the fancy clothes dirty.” You tried to say cheerfully but it came out with a slight wobble. My smiled sweetly and kissed your forehead.

“Ok babydoll. I trust you” You smiled softly and gently pulled away, starting to pick up the different presents.

~~~~~~~

When Izuku rang the doorbell you braced for the worst. Instead your mother and father were smiling at the door as they opened. The smile didn’t reach their eyes as they welcomed you both in.

“My name is Izuku Midoriya! Please to meet you!” he said as he bowed to your parents.

You father laughed falsely and patted his back.

“Pleasure to meet you my boy! You can call me f/n!” he said as he lead him into the living room.

Your mother waited until they were both out of view before grabbing your arm, nails digging into your skin, and hissed.

“Kitchen now you lazy brat.” She dragged you to the kitchen. You were waiting for the bottle throws and screaming. You tried desperately to not mess the potato salad up. But, unfortunately, you always mess up in your parents eyes.

“YOU STUPID SKANK!” was the screech from behind you. You curled into the counter waiting for the hit of the wooden spoon. When it didn’t come you slowly turned and saw a familiar wall of muscle.

Deku was gently holding her hand still with ease. You could tell by how his hand was clenched and shaking by his side, he was pissed.

“Move out my way brat! I need to teach my child a lesson.” She hissed and your father glared at him from the doorway

“Boy. You may be dating them but they need to be taught.” He snapped and you flinched. Izuku took the spoon gently before starting to usher you to the door.

“Do not expect to see Y/N or I to be coming back any time soon. Please be expectant of a visit with Aizawa sensei.” He said in a low sickly sweet voice.

You parents too shocked to respond just glared at you as you started to leave.

“We don't want such a disgrace to be seen with us anymore anyway.” you had to bite back tears as Izuku took you back to the hotel.

The rest of Christmas Izuku refused to let you do anything for him. He honestly spoiled you rotten and eventually the thought of your parents abandoning you faded to an afterthought.

Bakugou

You and Bakugou had been dating for a year. He had introduced you to his fiery mom, Mitsuki, and his chill father, Masaru, at Thanksgiving and he had honestly never had seen you laugh and smile so much. However, it confused him whenever his mom slapped his head for cussing, you flinched.

In order to both surprise you and find out what was going on he bought train tickets to go see your parents on Christmas. His plan was to stay long enough to give and open presents, eat, then be back in time for the train to the dorms.

What worried him was when he told you a few days prior you had a panic attack. You had completely shut down in front of him and it took him an hour to coax you out of it. More upset than confused, he was guessing at what was truly was going on.

Before getting on the train he noticed you wore less flattering clothes than normal and looked more scared than happy. The entire train ride he held your hand in order to stop you from scratching at your wrist and neck. Squeezing your hand every now and again to try and ground you. The more tense you became the more his normal glare became pronounced. You had said once that you only had a father and your mother died in a house fire when you were younger, so he had bought your mother’s grave flowers and your father a watch with your handwriting on the side saying ‘I love you’.

You had begged him to see your mother’s grave first. It was a silent event and you left fairly quickly. When you showed up Bakugou knocked on the door. He was surprised to see a fairly drunk man open the door. He sneered at you.

“What the FUCK are you doing here.” He growled out and you whimpered. The man when to throw the beer bottle that was in his hand at you. You flinched and Bakugou grabbed his hand. The man swung at him and Bakugou stopped him. “Let go of me you blasty freak! You phyco! I saw you on the TV” He slurred angrily.

Bakugou growled and felt his palms heat up. He wanted to beat this scum up but he saw your frightened shivering form and pushed the guy back.

“You ain’t worth it Hag.” he spat and took you away from the house. He nearly back tracked when he saw a bottle smash next to you.

“Please,” you begged. “I just wanna go home.” You stared at your tearful e/c eyes and sighed.

“Spicy Ramen first.” He says. and gently leads you to the ramen restaurant next to the train station. He had several large and small presents waiting for you at the dorms. But his main concern now was getting you fed and home.

note

I really hope you like it!

[sanchoyo]

Looks like you’re gonna have to gush some more cuz I meant in general uwu🌸

🌺😌🤟 Always happy to! Okay here’s just some General bnha Thoughts ™ Mostly Lov centric. You asked for them, and you said GUSH about them, so here’s. A Lot! :)

This isn’t a lov one but it’s really funny so I thought I’d put it out there:

-when bnha was first gaining traction on tumblr, it was all art of Tsuyu. I have no idea why. People were talking about the funky frog lesbian superhero anime. Maybe it was just the people I was following, maybe it was a general trend, but I LOVED her design!!! my fav color and frogs r super cute!!! And I already loved superhero media, so I was like. I’ll watch it. For Her. SO. FROPPY IS THE REASON I WATCHED/READ BNHA. I went in thinking she was the protag and I was sooo confused when Izuku was... tbh I still think it’d be more interesting if she was lmaooo aus where? ...seriously if anyone has good aus where this is the case send them LOL

-I don’t actually feel that bad abt what Shigaraki’s doing. I still feel bad for him. I’m this post. yes im an apologist. its not my fault hes sexy and has been running around shirtless. hes a lesbian icon like thor is. I want to touch his hair. hes never done anything wrong in his life. he could kill all might, deku, bakugo, whatever, I’d still be sayin this. I don’t feel bad for gt. like. was anyone genuinely attached to him? lmao

-well u know how spinner’s quirk is just sticking to things? We haven’t seen him use it in canon except like, (1) time iirc?? I think this is probably bc he’s embarrassed about it even in front of the league... I loooove the idea that he gets more comfortable with it around them :”) and also how shigaraki. um. does that falling asleep thing while standing up with his eyes open, canonly? (which I still love lmfao) Imagine someone in the league walking in a dark room, turning on the light n just seeing. Spinner upside down, stuck to the ceiling asleep bc heat rises and its Warmer Up There. (cold blooded thing like tsuyu?? come ON give him a big fuzzy coat and scarf...) and Shigaraki in the center of the room, slouched but still standing, eyes open and motionless. Theyre both sleeping. Whomever sees it just...slowly walks out. LMAO

-Toga roller derby au. No deep thoughts I just think she’d be good at it. 

-Toga 100% is a social butterfly and could befriend anyone if they didn’t just judge the fact she was trying to stab them smh :/ (ok but seriously anytime I see cute friendships with her n the other kids im like :) aw. I feel like her and Camie...would be good friends. Camie feels chill enough to be like ‘ok whatever thats totally fine I forgive you!!’ LMAO we love airheads here)

-HOW DID TOGA GET SO GOOD AT FIGHTING? We know she’s been on the run since middle school or so, but good enough to pin Deku down after he’s been formally trained at a ~hero school~ for a while? (she pinned him TWICE I think, once when his arms were messed up, but, the other time as Camie, so? AND THEN WAS ONE OF THE 100 PEOPLE TO GO THRU TO THE 2ND ROUND OF THAT? even tho she didn’t bc she had to leave) good enough to beat Aizawa in a fight and stab him? A professional hero and teacher for YEARS? Is that seriously just street training??? Can people acknowledge how amazing her combat skills and reflexes are??? More Toga appreciation when?? Also her backstory??? SO subversive and incredible, hate when people reduce her to just a ~typical anime yandere~ :/

-Tomura doing stuff with his hands/fingers to train his quirk!!! And to learn to be careful with it!! obv I’m a Big Fan of him playing piano to do this and video games are prob the canon answer, but like, guitar or any stringed instrument that requires Hands would work too. Or knitting/sewing? EMBROIDERING? ??? Please, let me give you the mental image of him knitting aggressively while mentally scheming, watching a twitch streamer or smth too while doing it. (Doing stuff with your hands is a great way to let your mind come up with creative stuff, that’s how I come up with writing/drawing ideas 70% of the time)

-Tomura actually PREFERS cutesty, relaxing games. I mean, he does fighting and bloody stuff irl, games are a way to relax...he’ll play shooters and gta type games with The Lads, but. on his own?? animal crossing. pokemon. kirby games. mario. zelda. BIG ZELDA FAN (not saying this bc I, personally, am biased, but,) slime rancher, stardew valley, funny simulator games... he really enjoys those :”) God forbid he has a kid bc they’re 100% getting named after a viddy game character unless someone can talk him out of it LOL. Toga and Tomura are that animal crossing /doom meme where she’d be asking for doom and him asking for animal crossing :”)

-Bits and pieces of Before are kinda stuck in Kurogiri’s brain, but like. mostly useless stuff the doctor didn’t care about removing. Like, types of clouds. So Tomura kinda picks up on stuff like that. He can just look at clouds and tell you what type they are because Kurogiri used to take him up to high places in the city and point them out to calm Tomura down from a panic attack when he was younger. He can tell you if the sky looks like it’ll rain with a 80% accuracy rate too. 

-Kurogiri left food out for kitties in the alley beside the bar. They weren’t allowed in for Health Reasons (it IS a bar with sanitation standards!!) And Tomura really wouldn’t stop it or encourage it either way so long as Kurogiri did his job, but occasionally would stand outside with Kurogiri and just watch the kitties from a distance. If any approached he’d go back in (lowkey afraid he’d hurt them by touching them :( ) They kinda kept that between them tho, bc they both Know AFO is a big bag of dicks and no fun

-people have pointed out how similar aizawa and tomura look. this was 100% the intention. tomura has a hatecrush on him. THIS IS SO FUNNY AND HORRIBLY AWKWARD FOR KUROGIRI LMAO

-Sako??? Mr. Dramatic?? Opera fan. Drama kid. Like, obviously, but. Really. He is. I feel like he can speak a dozen languages. I also feel like he used to be an overachiever but got too ambitious. He was def some kind of leader at one point of a diff Group or something that fell apart. I LOVE how creative he is with his quirk and the magician theme??? incredible. I don’t show him enough love but I Love Clowns :o)

-I don’t care what their canon heights are. Spinner and Dabi? short kings. My height hcs are (tallest to shortest) Kurogiri, Twice, Sako (who also has heels on his boots and a tall hat, keep in mind), Tomura, Magne (Tomura and Magne are about the same height imo) Toga, Spinner, Dabi. LISTEN. Dabi has short energy. Sorry. it’s true tho

-This is a semi-popular hc I think bc I KNOW I’ve seen it before, but Dabi having Terrible Vision and needing glasses is so so good. (seriously, with burns THAT close to his eyeballs, how could he not?) 

-he tries to be a tough loner coolguy. you’d think he’d smoke, but I hc his ‘weak constitution’ comes with weak lungs (esp from years of a flame quirk?? inhaling smoke over so much time is SO bad for you, most people who die in fires actually die of smoke inhalation...) so he’s got like, an inhaler, can’t smoke, actually gets carsick, needs glasses, overuses quirk to save friends constantly, likes napping, a little awkward and rude. Tomura put him in charge of the vanguard so he’s smart, and good with strategies too, like a nerd. this is the Dabi I wanna see, not the popular fandom version of him tbh also step on hawks one more time sir :”)

-I wish all the lov fics weren’t?? villain!deku like I said earlier, but also, chatfics? I have nothing against them but most of them are just a bombardment of Memes with NO PLOT!!! Listen. text/chatfics CAN have plot and be an interesting way to tell a story. I almost want to write one just to show what I mean...

I know I’ve said I like spinaraki and blackmagic, but I am a multishipper, so a few ships I don’t talk about that I like that involve the lov in some way:

-toga/any of the 1A girls??? or Camie??? super interesting. ALSO in the radio drama, bakugo’s voice actor said Toga was his favorite girl??? so?? bakugo/toga ?? I WANT TO SEE IT. but specifically my fav dynamic with her is when someone ELSE is the one to like her first, it’s what she deserves.

-Kurogiri/aizawa/mic?? any variety of that is also 👌🏻 I also kinda wanna see kurogiri/all might bc. Dads. COME ON. they bond over ‘well, I raised him, and you want to have a part in his life now?? ok. earn it. prove it. I’ll screen you first’ or something LMAO they’re both genuinely concerned for the boy, and SOOO biased. let them bond.

-WAIT WHERE IS THE MIC/COMPRESS CONTENT. THEYRE BOTH DRAMATIC. ENEMIES TO LOVERS?? HELLO??? SOMEONE?? ANYONE. rarepair hours

-giran/twice is cute. like he was hyping him up so much and so ready to go save him...

-dabi/magne where is the content. when. why not everywhere??? I’ve also seen magne/compress which was cute!! or twice/magne? they’re the big sibs of the lov...

-dabi/spinner?? come ON dabi could get over his learned biases and spend time with him and they could hold hands. I want them to.

-dabihawks. Obviously bc the Drama. yes even still, don’t @ me. (also, shigahawks, seen some REAL interesting fics with it tbh) or spinahawks?? adding hawks to a ship is like adding extra chili powder. makes it SPICY dramatic)

-nine/tomura don’t @ me once again. both kinda afo’s playthings, nine obviously was the test for tomura’s new upgrades...they both love their friends...That Scene in the Flower field </3 hmmm tragicships are fun.

-tomura/mirko. more enemies to lovers. big fan of her and bunnies. remember when he wore bunny ears in bnha smash. (ok its crack but. CUTE.) 

-I’ve also seen shiganatsu and shigafuyu and I’m like. these are cute, but also Dabi’s reaction always makes me cry laugh. so good.

-MOST EVERYONE IN THE LOV IS LGBTQA+!!! heres my personal headcanons:

Toga: pan or bi (CANON BASICALLY)

Magne: transwoman (CANON BABEY) bi, leans towards men. (her crush on dabi in bnha smash... uwu content where)

Shuichi: gets sooooo flustered canonly, I think he’d go for the first person Who Hit On Him (I can see him being the target of those mean pranks where someone says ‘my friend likes you!!’ and the friend is like ‘eww!!’ :(((( ) he’s super hesitant for romance, lots of repressed stuff. gay but takes sooo long to realize it bc he thinks most women are conventionally pretty Aesthethically, feels obligated to Like Them, but has bad self esteem so never goes after them, then only likes (1) guy so hes like?? is this allowed?? is this allowed???? (HES LIKE. IN LOVE WITH SHIGARAKI)

Dabi: bi but rly hasn’t ever gotten to date anyone, so he’s actually more reserved about it and while he’ll tease, he absolutely is absent and kinda oblivious (again, I KNOWWWW bnha smash isnt canon, but. my god. when magne is hitting on him and he Just Doesnt Understand.) also hes ace

Tomura: doesn’t care. (just prob says ‘its whatever’) trans/nonbinary (i’M NOT PROJECTING, BUT. :’/) probably goes with like, the label queer if any but doesn’t care much for labels

Kurogiri: bi??? kind of??? I say kind of bc well, I hc U Know Whom as bi, I feel like thatd carry over but he’d be really avoidant to date anyone bc hes gotta Watch His Kid u know? this is gonna sound surprising but I think he’d be the type to be like ‘ok we can have a one night stand/fling BUT it cant get personal bc I have a Job to Do for my Son so don’t get up in your feelings’ and act a little coldly at first or very ..not personable... depending on who it was he’d prob turn around eventually, esp if that person valued his feelings/job :”)

Sako: that mans Not Straight. I hc him as gay and also trans :3c

Twice: Bi and HAS dated prob more than anyone else in the league imo, super comfortable with his sexuality and supportive of everyone else’s :)

ok that’s about all I can think of atm, come back in 5 minutes and my brain will refill with lov headcanons :3 thank you for asking!!

[katsukikitten]

Bakugo and Y/N are the last two surviving players during dodgeball i thought it would be kinda funny whah :pp

Ask and ye shall receive. I had so much fun writing this. thank you

I present you

DODGE THIS

You slide your soft grey cotton shirt that says UA over your black laced bra sighing to yourself as you wonder why the hell a hero academy had a regular ass gym class in addition to training. You adjust your black shorts in the mirror trying hard to pull them further over your ass to no avail. There was just not enough material to cover your ass causing them to be crescent shorts. You growl in frustration, giving up as you sit to tie your tennis shoes. Mina slides onto the bench next to you wearing a shit eating grin. A grin that is always somehow contagious as you feel it begin to take form on your lips.

"Yes Mina dear?" You giggle as she practically vibrates, ready to burst with whatever "tea" she has to spill.

"I heard a rumor." She exclaims as the other girls begin to exit towards the gym.

"Uh oh. What kinda rumor?"

"The kind that seems true." She leaves it at that. As if you'd be dying to know the rest but you aren't.

Plus you know she can't stand not saying whatever juicy information she is holding in.

It kills her.

"Fine you've pried it from me." She exclaims in the next breath not even giving you time for the response you didn't plan to give.

"Bakugouhasahugecrushonyou!KirishimatoldmelatelastnightbyaccidentsoIknowitstrue." She rushes her words all together and you stare astounded as all you heard was Bakugou, crush on you.

"Wait what?!" You stand but Midnight yells into the locker room.

"Today please ladies!"

Mina rushes from the locker room, pulling you by the wrist as you're left with your thoughts.

Bakugou has a crush on you? Please he barely looked your way not to mention you two loathed each other always competing to be at the top.

Mina pulls you all the way to line up with the rest of the girls and you peer at the boys across from you.

How is it that Bakugou is directly across from you today of all days. He does not look your way and when he does his eyes narrow to slits.

"Okay today we are doing a good old fashion boys vs girls!" Midnight announces happily, "In a game none other than.."

She looks to Aizawa to finish the sentence to which he grunts at first before adding in the most apathetic tone ever uttered.

"Dodgeball." He barely opens his eyes as he snuggles into his bright yellow sleeping bag.

"That's right!" Midnight clearly holding all of the enthusiasm, "Now girls to the left boys to the right! Line up and when I yell go let the free for all begin!"

"But the boys have a bigger advantage than us by having more bodies on their team." You add as you look at how they have double the people.

"That is true but you girls are resourceful. I know you can win even with the disadvantage."

"Hey!!!" Half of the boy's team whines.

"Now no more fussing I advise you ladies get ready!"

You line up near the front mumbling to yourself. you quickly notice that you're the only girl going to grab a ball at the start.

*What the fuck* you think to yourself as you peer over your shoulder before being met face to face with a glaring set of blood eyes.

"I'll end you." He growls fingers reached out in perfect calm, waiting for the signal.

You return the glare and slide a finger over your throat not trusting your voice just yet.

"GO!"

You grab with your left as Katsuki purposefully went for your right, he aims and takes his mark adding an extra punch with the smell of burning sugar.

You block the point blank shot with your own ball just in time, thanking Kamisama for your quick reflexes.

But they must not be as quick enough as you go to counter attack, Katsuki is already deeply behind the line now being fed balls by Sero who snatches the returned balls right out of the air. Anger fuels your actions as you chuck the ball towards him.

Sero is too distracted to notice the inbound object and the ball rings home with a nauseating *PANG* that echoes across the gym.

"Sero is out!" Midnight calls as you back towards the shrinking cluster of girls.

Midnight had already called Jiro who happily let herself get hit to avoid this game and Toru.

"Shit." You murmur as you look for a ball but see that the boys hold the majority. Mina attempts to launch one at Kaminari who just barely dodges, snatching the ball to return it.

"DO IT FOR THE VINE!!!" Kaminari screams as he throws the red rubber ball towards Mina. You catch it as she flinches heated to win, especially against a certain scarlet eyed boy.

"Vine is dead bitch." You say as you hurl it right into Kaminari's face. You threw the ball hard enough that it slams him into the brick wall causing a nice outline of his body to appear.

"Oh this is so going on Tok." Jiro snorts to herself as she captured the whole thing on her phone, one earphone jack plugged into it.

"Be sure to tag me..." Kamimari adds as the ball falls from his face. He rubs his hand over the new criss cross pattern that was left behind from the ball.

Todoroki stands still looking bored waiting for someone, anyone to hit him and so you end his misery with a light toss to which he let's bound off of him back onto the girls side.

"Oh no I've been ejected from the game." He says with mock concern as Bakugou practically blows a gasket.

"YOU'RE JUST GONNA LET EXTRA HIT YOU LIKE THAT?! GO OUT WITH SOME HONOR!" He yells and you laugh aloud.

Uraraka grabs the ball that ricocheted off of Todoroki and hurls it at Deku who barely dodges.

"I..I'm sorry." He yells as he throws the ball back only for U-chan to catch it with a satisfying *pang* of the ball. He blushes and gives her a thumbs up as he takes a seat next to Sero and Todoroki.

"Damn it Deku!" Katsuki yells as he hurls a ball at her, striking her in the side. The ball bounces to your feet, you snatch it, surveying who is left. An idea seems to come to life as you spot Momo with her ball sized shield.

"Momo can you make me some extra dodge balls?" You call out and she smiles happily.

"Cover me and I can!" She shouts back as she begins creating.

"Asui-chan, Mina. Help me cover Momo and make the numbers a bit more even. Mina Ojiro, Koda, and Sato have been sticking close together. Try to get them as I take care of Iida and Shoji who seem to be doing rapid fire."

You feel the wind of a ball whoosh past your face as you turn back to face the boys who are about fifty feet away. Katsuki snarls to himself having just missed you by mere chance.

Kirishima throws a ball your way that you catch earning him a seat on the bench. He murmurs a damn before sitting in the middle of the bleachers.

"GO MINA! GO BAKUGOU!" He shouts earning a glare from both parties as he clearly has a hard time giving all of his loyalty to one of them.

Mina sends a ball home, hitting a quickly tiring Sato hard enough that it bounces right off of him and into Koda's back. Both seem to slump as you yell a "Hell yea!" to your bubblegum pink friend.

Asui supplies another ball to Mina that Momo has made. They both manage to get Tokoyami and Ojiro who also slump go join the rest of the crew.

All the girls squeal with joy, including yourself.

Katsuki narrows his eyes and aims for Momo who is currently helping you three level the playing field. He hits his target in the back while Mina was distracted attempting to get a panicked Aoyama.

He picks up the closest ball to him and sends it blindly into the girls half of the giant gym. You're confused for a moment as something purple is hurled your way.

The purple object hits you right between your breasts and it buries its self deeper as your eyes widen.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" You scream as Mineta comes up for air. Nose clearly dripping blood as he stares up at you with hooded eyes with his drooling mouth agape.

A ball hits him in the back of the head hard enough that his face smashes into your sternum leaving a bruise in its wake on both Mineta's forehead and your breast bone.

The ball is charred as it bounces off kilter to the side line. Your widened eyes meet narrowed scarlet who sucks his teeth harshly before yelling as he throws more precisely aimed balls.

"Watch what the hell you're throwing idiot. It's two v one now. We cant lose." He says as he hurls two balls back to back too quickly for either Mina or Asui to dodge.

"Get him Y/N!" They shout as you chuck a ball fast enough for it to whistle straight for that smug, overly cocky somehow hot look. He dodges at the last second and the rubber finds purchase in the face of Aoyami.

"Figures I have to do everything fucking self." Bakugou murmurs as he takes in the playing field, rubber ball in hand.

He notices that you have fewer on your side than himself. Thanks to him taking out your little dodge ball factory. He assess as he tries to calculate his next move.

You notice too that you have less balls and to be out of the precious resource the only way to win would be to catch a ball.

You had three shots, one in your hand and the other two balls near the back of your territory to his six.

Twice as many opportunities for him seemed like a much greater advantage but then again so did twice as many bodies.

And still here you stood across from Bakugou who glistens in the harsh light of the gym.

Your heart pounds as you watch him, knowing full well of his ability to strategize, he was one of the few you have ever lost to or had difficulty winning against. He smirks as he finalizes his plan and you sit their wondering when he started to look so...different.

Has that smirk always made your stomach clench?

He rears the ball back and sends it quickly towards you. The hem of his shirt rises above his navel from the jump and you think has he always had abs?

The sound of the ball singing through the air registers not a moment too soon as you hit the ball lightly enough for it to land still on your half of the court but an odd sound catches your attention and you jump high into the air.

Narrowly avoiding the ball that was clearly aimed for your lower thigh to knee area. You backflip mid air with the precious ball still in your hands, your shirt following a bit late and unbeknownst to you flashing your stomach and even your black bra to Katsuki. Your tits fight inertia to stay in their neatly laced cups.

He swallows his desire as you land like a cat on your feet.

Something is odd about your landing and it takes him a moment to notice that you no longer have that damn ball.

But when the hell did you throw it and where?

He looks a moment too late and watches it head striaght for him.

The bell rings out overhead breaking the silent tension the two of you didn't realize had filled the gym air.

The ball bounces off of his chest AFTER the last chime of the bell screaming to change classes, it falls softly into his hands.

"It seems we have a draw." Midnight announces and the class erupts in shouts.

Everyone but the two of you who seem to lock eyes across the gym as a chorus of WHAT NO WAY AND SENSEI IS RIGHT echo through out the gym.

But it falls on deaf ears as two predators size the other up.

You wondering when he had gotten so handsome. Wondering how sweat and an arrogant grin can make some one so suddenly irrisitable.

While Katsuki is awestruck at your move, having accidentally taken advantage of throwing him off guard. Him wondering when you threw that ball

But most importantly had Mina told you what loud mouth Kirishima said?

And if she hadn't when was he going to swallow his pride long enough to tell you about it himself?

NOT My Hero Academia: Part 1 – Ch.8

Iida manged to change direction at the last second, and Dark Shadow was out and between them and Bakugo now, ready to block an attack or push Team Uraraka into the air.

"OHHHHH?! IS LEAVING YOUR UNIT REALLY ALLOWED?!" Sero's tape came and saved Bakugo before he could touch the ground. "It is here, on a technicality!!" Midnight replied to Present Mic, "As long as your feet don't touch the ground!"

While Teams Bakugo and Uraraka squared off, Present Mic's commentary washed over the auditorium, "BOTH THE DOGGEDLY PURSUED FIRST PLACE TEAM… AND ITS DETERMINED PURSUERS ARE NOTHING TO SNEEZE AT! LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT THE CURRENT POINT SPREAD…" The screen updated to show the team rankings and their points. Izuku -- and All For One, through his cameras -- noticed another team pass behind Bakugo's. A hand reached out… "HOW ARE OUR TEAMS DOING AFTER SEVEN MINUTES OF PLAY? ...OHH?!

"NOW WAIT JUST A SECOND…! BESIDES URARAKA, CLASS A'S NOT LOOKING SO HOT… WHAT HAPPENED TO BAKUGO…?!" "Too simple, really. Class A," said the owner of the hand. Bakugo spun, "Give that back! I'll freaking kill you!!" "He got us!" cried Mina. "When Midnight announced the first event, it didn't take a genius to realize they wouldn't be thinning our numbers that much in a preliminary."

The rider who'd grabbed the headband smirked and glared condescendingly at Bakugo and his team. "It wasn't much of a stretch to imagine they'd be letting a good number of us advance to the next event. Forty or so seemed reasonable." A rumble came from behind team Bakugo. It was another Class B team! "It was the perfect chance to hang back and observe our soon-to-be rivals' quirks and tendencies. So it's only fair that we ended up placing more modestly."

"The whole class was in on it…?" said Kirishima. "Well, not everyone, but that wouldn't have been a bad idea… Instead of aiming for some fleeting first place, like a horse going for a dangling carrot." Bakugo's otherwise stony face twitched. "Ah, but you're already a celebrity, aren't you? The victim of that sludge incident! I'll have to ask you sometime. How does it feel to be known as the kid who needed saving?"

"Kirishima… plan's changed." Bakugo was radiating doom. "Before we go for Deku… I've gotta murder every last one of them…!!"

.

'Class B… They threw the qualifiers and planned for the long game!' Izuku thought, impressed. 'They want to prove Class B's supremacy. But from that, I can guess that they're not necessarily dead set on targeting me…!! Maybe this won't be too hard to evade-!' But at almost that same moment, as Present Mic announced they'd reached the halfway mark-

-Team Uraraka was approached by multiple opponents. 'Or maybe… it won't be quite that easy. We've stayed still too long!'

"Looks like this won't end without a fight…" Tokoyami said, "They're really gunning for us, Midoriya." "No. We're halfway through. We've just gotta keep moving!"

Todoroki gave orders as his team approached their target. "Yaoyorozu, prepare our defense. The insulator too." "Right!" "Kaminari. You…" "Yeah, I got it! Just stay alert!" Kaminari warned.

At that, Kaminari screamed, announcing his special attack for the audience of Pro Heroes, "Indiscriminate shock. 1.3 million volts!!"

All the teams nearby were stopped by the sudden shock, Dark Shadow useless against the bright attack. Todoroki took advantage of that. "Less than six minutes left. No turning back now." He lowered a staff of ice to the ground. "Sorry. Just hang in there." All of the frozen teams' feet were now literally frozen to the ground! As they passed, Todoroki grabbed another team's headband, "I'll be taking this."

"Tokoyami, Iida, get us out of here!" Izuku cried. When Dark Shadow managed to break the ice around their feet, Todoroki tried to freeze them again. But Iida was too fast. Todoroki then tried to block their escape, creating an arena of ice, but Dark Shadow launched them over the wall, higher than anyone had thought they could go.

.

Kurogiri joined All For One in front of the screens. "He's doing well so far." All For One nodded, agreeing, "Although nothing spectacular, it will keep him in first place. His team will run, other teams will close in, and they'll run again." Hesitantly, Kurogiri commented, "You seem… dissatisfied." "On the contrary. I'm simply eager to see further results."

As the competition went on, Todoroki's team was particularly persistent in chasing Team Uraraka. Already holding one of the top spots, they seemed determined to come in first. And getting the ten million point headband was the only way of doing that…

.

After being humiliated by the Class B team, "Team Monoma," and glued in place by yet another team -- Bakugo was looking for revenge. Before they could make it to the offenders, however, the score board updated, and Present Mic's commentary blasted through the auditorium again. "WITH JUST ONE MINUTE LEFT, TODOROKI'S GOT THREE HEADBANDS, BUT URARAKA'S TEAM STILL HOLDS FIRST PLACE!! TEAM URARAKA'S MANAGED TO EVADE TODOROKI, NO MATTER WHAT THEY'VE THROWN AT THEM!! HAVE WE FOUND OUR TOP FOUR TEAMS FOR THIS EVENT?!"

Bakugo looked at the score board. Deku's team were still in the lead. Good -- he could take their points himself! That stupid pebble… How was he making it this far?!

… He would fix that.

Below them was Team Monoma, the bastards, with 1360 points. Then Todoroki with 990, and Tetsutetsu in fourth with 940. His team had 0 points. But not for long.

"Second place, huh? Seems too good to be true," Monoma was saying, "Let's focus on keeping what we've got." "Wait just one stinkin' minute!" Bakugo shouted. Monoma looked over his shoulder at them. "Persistent, aren't you. That sort of tenacity is…"

"Get back here, Bakugooooo!!" Kirishima shouted. Bakugo had launched himself through the air again. "Tsuburaba! Guard!" Monoma yelled. "Got it!"

One of the guys holding Monoma up took a deep breath and blew out. Bakugo came to a stop in midair. "Ha ha! How d'ya like that? It's an invisible wall!" said Tsuburaba. Bakugo just pulled his arm back -- and smashed through it, grabbing at their headbands. "He got two of them!" yelled Monoma.

"TEAM BAKUGO'S STOLEN TWO, PUTTING THEM IN FOURTH PLACE!!" Sero pulled Bakugo back to them, as Todoroki moved up to second place on the score board. "A LATE SHAKE-UP IN THE RANKINGS! THAT'S THE SPIRIT OF YOUTH FOR YA!!"

"Damn… DAMMIT!" Monoma cursed. "Alright… It's fine. We're in fifth! And Kendo's not going anywhere, frozen like that…" He adjusted their remaining headband. "Right! Just have to guard this one with our lives…"

"Give us some warning before you jump!!" Sero chided Bakugo when he'd landed back on their horse. "But now we're guaranteed to move on…" said Kirishima.

"I AIN'T DONE YET!!" "Huh?!" Sero gaped at him.

"I'm not settling for some half-assed first place!!" Bakugo, more energized than ever, was banging on Kirishima's hardened head. "I couldn't brace myself going at it alone. So move!!" They sped up; Bakugo's excitement was contagious. "WE'RE TAKING OUR POINTS BACK. AND THEN THE TEN MILLION!!" 'I'll make that useless Deku realize he's just a PEBBLE in my path to Number One IF IT KILLS ME!'

"Soy Sauce Face! Tape, now!!" Bakugo lifted his left leg out of the way. "My name's Sero!!" Even as he said it, he taped the ground near Team Monoma's feet, already knowing what Bakugo had in mind. "You missed," Monoma stated smugly. "Raccoon eyes!" Bakugo lifted his right leg out of the way now. "Melt a path for us with that liquid!" "It's Mina. Mina Ashido!" She sprayed the ground beneath Sero's tape.

Sero reeled them in and, as they sped passed- "BAKUGO!! ABSOLUTELY MERCILESS!!" -Bakugo ripped the last headband from around Monoma's neck!

"WHAT A PERFECTIONIST! ANYTHING WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING RIGHT!! WE'RE NEARING THE END OF THE GAME, NOW!!"

Switching gears immediately, Bakugo turned in search of his main target, "Next up! Deku and Todoroki!!" "TIME'S ALMOST UP. LET'S COUNT DOWN. HEY, EVERYBODY SAY… 10! 9! 8!" Bakugo spotted Team Uraraka with only 6 seconds left. He launched into the air without hesitation.

But… "-TIME'S UP!"

.

All the teams stopped moving, and Bakugo went crashing to the ground.

"LET'S SEE WHO THE TOP FOUR TEAMS ARE RIGHT NOW! "IN FIRST PLACE, TEAM URARAKA!!" 'I almost can't believe how well things are going so far,' Izuku thought to himself, as Uraraka hugged him, 'Although, I'm actually… even more scared of the final event because of it!'

"IN SECOND, TEAM BAKUGO!!" Bakugo cursed and screamed.

"IN THIRD, TEAM TODO… HUH?! WHOA!! TEAM SHINSO?!" Izuku looked around, then spotted that purple-haired guy who was talking to goggles-girl earlier.

.

It was just after he'd finished forming his team for the Cavalry Battle…

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"Heh heh heh… Yes, you're in first place. You sure do stand out!" Izuku heard someone say from behind him. He turned- "-Team up with me, Mr. First Place!!" "Whoa, too close!!" 'The girl with the hover boots?!'

"I'm Mei Hatsume, from the support course! I don't know you, but I could be useful to someone like you." She blabbed, heedless of anyone around her aside from her target. "Joining with you means I'll inevitably be right in the spotlight!! And then, inevitably, my supercute babies… will be seen by the industry big shots. They'll have to take notice of me and my babies!!" As she talked, she just seemed to get more and more enthusiastic.

"But wait -- there's more. This could also be advantageous for you." She pulled out some gadgets. "In the support course, we develop equipment to make heroes' quirks easier to use! I've got plenty of my babies here, and I'm sure you'll find one or two that-" Izuku spoke loudly, raising his hands to cut her off, "-Sorry, but I already formed my team!" She froze. "Ah! But…" He wanted to say something nice -- she had actually WANTED to team up with him. Even if it was just for his points… "I thought those hover boots you used back in the race were awesome! It's just…" She smiled, seeming to take the rejection surprisingly well. "I get it. You wanna work with your friends."

She got up close to his face again. Izuku stepped back. "But mark my words. Someday, you're gonna need my babies. And you'll come crawling, begging me to build you the most awesome equipment anyone's ever seen!" Her tone wasn't hostile, just filled with certainty and determination. "Mr. Quirkless Wonder!"

She turned and walked away. Izuku saw a purple-haired guy approach her and heard him say, "Wow, those gadgets of yours are awesome! Can I see one?" "Sure-!"

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

"WHO SAW THAT TURNAROUND COMING? WHO EVEN SAW IT HAPPEN?!" 'Yeah… When did that happen…?' Izuku had been keeping an interested eye on the score board. 'But I was distracted in those last few seconds… Must've been then. Wish I'd seen that, though!'

"… IN FOURTH, TEAM TODOROKI!!" "No surprise there," said Uraraka, now sitting on the ground, exhausted.

.

"THESE FOUR TEAMS WILL PROCEED… TO THE FINAL EVENT!!"

BNHA Rewatch: Episode 61 “Deku vs Kacchan Part 2″

 mysterylover123

O.T.P.

This is gonna get kinda emotional.

Deku is turning Kacchan’s fight proposal down. Dammit Deku! He’s being serious!

Hoo boy that Kacchan face. No light in his eyes. That realization, just…just bleeding through…hoo boy.

“If the way you admired him was correct, does that mean my way of thinking was wrong?” OMG ITS HAPPENING. HE’S REALIZING IT YA’LL.

The flashbacks to bb Deku and Kacchan the feels.

The white void, it’s just the two of them. 

That Deku line from the first episode. I’m transported right back, ya’ll. It’s that first love again, that same feeling I had when I first discovered this series all the way back in summer of last year.

So Deku starts by thinking too hard about what’s going on and immediately gets blasted.

“You think too much” hoo boy recently Mother’s Basement posted the analysis of this fight and pointed out that this is actually a flaw of Deku’s that he can learn to remedy by adopting some of Kacchan’s impulsiveness. Never has the phrase “you complete me” been more accurate.

This freaking animation. It’s so beautiful. OMG.

“Wait for me” OH MAN BB DEKU BB KACCHAN RUNNING I’M DEAD I AM DYING

Cause he loves ya you dope.

Cute overload

WHY WHY WHY hoo boy Kacchan flashbacks.

Dat little trip oh man. He’s so bummed Deku doesn’t wanna fight and Deku’s little kick actually knocked him down.

Ooh boy. Here it comes. The music went out

Hold his freaking hand some day dammit

Oh god I can’t watch this again I can’t I can’t

“why is to you became strong…while I - “ OH GOD HERE IT COMES HERE IT COMES

OH GOD. Slow clap. Okamoto and Chapin both deserve freaking awards for that performance. I mean holy shit. That voice acting. Those cracks. That hit. It makes me cry. I’m tearing up right now. Cause you see, this whole episode, it really rests on the ability of Bakugou’s Seiyuu and VA to pour everything into the performance. It’s not going to hit without both of them giving the vocal acting performance of a lifetime, and they both knocked it out of the freaking park. I actually love them both as his voice; I don’t have a preference for dub over sub, as regards their performances (not the dialogue translations), because both are incredible. Just. Slow clap. All of the awards, please.

Look at how Deku looks at him. He’s the best. He just…he cares, so much. I mean, you’d admittedly have to be a pretty heartless bastard not to feel a little compassionate after hearing that speech but still. Kacchan’s so fucking lucky he has Deku and he doesn’t even know it. I want one too.

He’s crying. Me too.

Kacchan no Kacchan no nononononono 

Oh god Deku you beautiful darling

“may not be any meaning” I DISAGREE THIS IS THE CULMINATION OF AN ENTIRE SERIES’ WORTH OF 100+ SYMBOLIC CHAPTERS DETAILING YOUR GROWTH FROM ANGRY YELLING RIVALS TO RIVALS WHO SUPPORT EACH OTHER DAMMIT IT’S EVERYTHING

“May not be any meaning in winning or losing” lol are you just saying that in hindsight, Future Deku, cause you know you lost?

Deku didn’t have to do this. He didn’t have to fight Kacchan or even let him know the truth.

And note, he didn’t accept until he realized there was someone he could save. Someone who needs saving, to be helped. And this is how to help him.

“The only one who can accept his feelings is me.” Ya’ll heard that haters? Say it a little louder for the people in the back, Deku. He’s got his heart.

And look who’s smiling again, eyes lighting up again, the minute Deku started fighting back?

“I couldn’t just completely reject him” Guess who also sad that about their fiery spiky blond spouse in BNHA? Kacchan’s dad in that omake about their marriage.

Their relationship was wrong, but now it’s right. 

They never talked about how they really felt. Communication is the cornerstone of a healthy relationship, folks. Go on. Talk about your feels. Your real feelings.

Of that was one hell of a hit.

That speedy recovery though. Deku is fast. 

Oh wow Kacchan hit it too

That smile. That smile OMG that is THE HOTTEST, by far, that Deku has ever looked in animation. And I don’t say that lightly.

The translation here is either “I’ve” or “you’ve” gotten stronger. Both fit fine, which is the crazy part. Deku could be either saying that he himself has improved, or complimenting Bakugou, which does admittedly make more sense with what he was saying before, while ‘I’ve’ fits his cocky grin here better. I want him to flash a cocky grin more. It suits him. (BTW The English Dub compromises between the two and says’ we’ve both’.

Katsuki assumes Deku has a plan. Always overestimating him.

“That’s what I hate about you” OMG HE FINALLY TELLS HIM HOW HE FEELS. “I can never tell what you’re thinking” Because ya know he’s so good at understanding how everyone else thinks and feels.

He’s always being mean to Deku. Deku has seen him at his very worst and yet still admires him. Maybe that’s scary, you know? Unconditional love is…kinda terrifying. But so, so beautiful. So he has to rationalize it that Deku is just looking down on him.

Wow Deku sure took you long enough! He’s been saying that since day 1!

“I wouldn’t want anything to do with them anymore” Deku there you go being empathetic and wonderful and perfect again. So understanding you darling, darling boy.

 “Along with the parts I hated about you, I saw all the amazing things you could do.” THAT’S ADMIRATION, FOLKS. ADMIRATION WITHOUT IDOLIZATION. Without hero-worship. Acknowledging the good and the bad. Seeing a person for who they really are and always, always seeing the best of them, even at their worst.

“MUCH CLOSER TO ME THAN ALL MIGHT” Do you hear him guys? The closest person to him, closer than All Might. Closer than his freaking #1 favorite hero. The dub version has “actually in my life”, which isn’t a bad idea either. Both are true. That is so powerful. The person who

Oh yeah and again how does Deku advance in power? How does he Go Beyond? KACCHAN. Full cowling, he found from him. OFA itself, he gained by saving him. And 8%.

THAT SMILE. “I thought you were amazing.” He loves you you idiot. 

He kept chasing after him. He’ll never stop. He won’t just give up.

He passed him. And Bakugo looks happy. Possibly because he wants Deku to do better. Possibly because it seems to be confirming his might-makes-right theory. Possibly both.

ANIMATION-GASM AGAIN. 

AHAHAHAHAHAH ITS THAT CUT ITS THAT CUT DEKU’S DANCING FEET

THE VOID AROUND THEM IT’S JUST YOU AND ME 

AND THE BLOCK OMG THIS IS BEAUTIFUL THIS IS THE MOST FREAKING BEAUTIFUL ANIMATION IVE EVER SEEN

I’m serious. They brought out all the stops for this one. Of course. they knew, they had to know, that this was it. The animation, too, had to be perfect, or else it wasn’t gonna come across. And it is. Even better, in my opinion, than the animation in the stuff that came before it. Bones you are incredible. 

Higher gear. Can anyone doubt that Katsuki is important to Deku’s journey after this?

“This is gross, so I can’t say it”.. “I love you?” A reactor I follow actually said that after that line. That’s how intense they are.

Anyway IMAGE OF VICTORY SPEECH. The Ep that keeps on giving. 

Kacchan is his image of victory. The other side of him. And he adopts some of his traits.

“The part of you I hate and yet” How much love can you have for a person when you can somehow still admire the darkest, meanest parts of them? I don’t have a very perfect definition of love but I think that’s probably a big part of it.

“my image of victory is of you” feels overload. Feels O.D. 

dat crane shot.

My one disappointment with this episode is that they used the US of Smash OST instead of the Katsuki and Izuku OST for this scene. CMON GUYS. SERIOUSLY. THE KATSUKI AND IZUKU THEME HAD TO HAVE BEEN WRITTEN FOR THIS EPISODE AND THIS MOMENT ALONE. WHAT WERE YOU THINKING. 

“I have to beat you” the music the feels omg

Hahaha psych. Kacchan wins anyway. 

WOOF. Like OK this is in the manga, this positioning, but it’s only for one frame. In the anime it goes on for like, an uncomfortably long time, with the slow panting, and the close-ups on the twisting body parts, and…combined with the fact that all of Deku’s admiring girlfriends in this arc have also landed on top of him in a similar pose, and you can’t blame me for the fact that my mind went into rather…R-rated territory. 

Kacchan’s disappointed. He didn’t want Deku to lose. He wanted Deku to win.

That breaking  voice again. Don’t make me cry more dammit it’s too late.

ALL MIGHT! I need an MST3K style All Might commentary-reaction to this entire damn thing. Seriously Hori. If you ever do an extra, please make one that’s a serious of All Might panel reacting to this whole thing. I NEED THAT. 

Finishing each other’s sentences again.

“It’s too late” IT’S NEVER TOO LATE YOU CYNICAL PORCUPINE.

This is such a great moment of catharsis. Why Deku indeed? Well, you’re about to learn.

THAT LINE DELIVERY AGAIN. That Broken voice. Both voice actors are too good.

Deku’s legs though. WOWSA. A little detail I’ve noticed is that Kacchan has really buff, sexy arms and Deku has really buff, sexy legs. Because those are the body parts they use, while the reverse parts are more average.

“I’m weak too” You’re making me weak I can’t take it. His voice his voice that fucking voice

DEKU’S EYES. THEY’RE WELLING. 

HE’S GONNA CRY TOO.

I also need an All Might in my life. I kinda blame myself all the time for things outside of my control. Deku AND Kacchan both blamed themselves for what happened. For All Might’s end. And neither one was really responsible, but they’re just like that. I relate, painfully, to both of them. I have a Deku side and a Bakugo side - deep down, I think we all do. Maybe one more than the other, but that’s what you get when you create two characters who initially act as kind of…distilled embodiments of two sides of the super-hero coin. One all super with no hero, the other all hero with no super - at least, at the beginning.

THAT PIANO MUSIC IT SOUNDS FAMILIAR. IT’S ALL MIGHT’S FREAKING THEME YA’LL!

Ooh boy All Might’s BKDK Speech! Both of their teachers ship them, you guys. All Might AND Aizawa both give big, beautiful speeches about their compatibility. In case you somehow missed it. 

Being fixated on victory like you, young Bakugou…and wanting to save those in trouble, like you, young Midoriya…both of those feelings are necessary.” “You guys are perfect for each other”, says the reactor I mentioned earlier (who isn’t even a hardcore BKDK shipper, mind you, it’s just that it’s that obvious.) And it’s true. You need both. They want each other, they need each other, because they have what the other lacks. They complete each other.  

This is the shonen rival equivalent of having the couple in a rom-com confess at the end of act one instead of act three. It upsets all the cliches and is all the better for it. Though even the most hardcore, dedicated anime rivals, I don’t think have ever gone this married-couple with the ‘mutual respect’ and ‘making each other stronger’ thing.

WIN AND SAVE SAVE TO WIN. They look each other in the eyes.

Oh god not that voice again I’m dying. Don’t make me cry again Kacchan.  

“Don’t lose.” SUPPORTIVE KACCHAN I LOVE SUPPORTIVE KACCHAN.

“I’ll get stronger” CONFIDENT DEKU I LOVE CONFIDENT DEKU. 

“Of the students only you.” ONLY YOU. 

I put this moment really high on my list of Kacchan’s nicest moments, because it means a lot to me and to All Might. All Might acknowledges it. He’s a good secret keeper.

Oh and Deku thanks him too in the English Dub, BTW. Not the manga but nice dub touch. 

OMG he’s such a Tsundere.

He told him everything. HE KNOWS. The only one who knows. None of Deku’s other love interests do. And he has no interest in telling them. 

Kacchan asks why he told him. And I’ve got an answer, after obsessively rereading Chapter 11/rewatching Episode 8 a lot: BECAUSE HE LOVES YOU, YOU IDIOT. You were mad at him for lying about his quirk to you. You asked what was going on (loudly). You accused him of lying to you your whole life. So he told you the truth. Because he can lie to his mom, and he can lie to his friends and teachers and the entire freaking world. But he cannot lie to YOU. Because he loves you. Idiot baka. 

Oh and what’s that music playing there? Why does that sound familiar? YOU SAY RUN YOU SAY RUN YOU SAY RUN IT’S BACK. And you know? That’s I think because YSR symbolizes Deku’s heroic inspiration. The inspiration he both takes in and gives to others. And here, he’s both being inspired by Kacchan, and inspiring him at the same  time.

Now Kacchan is doing the same. “Chosen one” He knows. Deku is better. He’s gotta surpass him.

LOL THIS IS FUNNY. THEY SURE BICKER LIKE THEY’RE MARRIED.

This shot composition. Get it? ALL MIGHT’S THE THING BETWEEN ‘EM.

Oh and this. Yay some character development from Kacchan! Another nice moment of his in this ep. Three times! 

All Might Meta’s a bit about how Kacchan took responsibility and felt bad and does a Mom guilt trip on Dadzawa. They’re getting to be kinda married too now.  

“I went in pretty HARD”. OMG stop it you’re making me think bad things again. Just F*CK already.

Their first act as a married couple is to clean the house together. OMG domestic fluff. 

And now for the best Post-credits scene ever. 

Wow Uraraka ships it so bad. 

Oh and some Todobaku bonus! Aw I guess Bakugou just turned down his 3some offer. 

Ooh awkward silence. 

YAY! Though they did kinda wreck it by having Deku bring it up instead of Kacchan 

NOW THEY’RE HEALTHY ENOUGH TO TALK TO EACH OTHER LIKE HUMAN BEINGS.

Kacchan just praised me. Life is good.

Episode 61 is my favorite episode of my favorite show. I think it’s the best and will never be topped. Feels, left and right. It’s really just perfect. Funny, all 3 of the transcendent, best-of-the-best BNHA eps (This, 49 and 23) are basically just two characters fighting for 20 minutes. Nothing more or less. Yet they’re all so, so good. And this one is…I don’t even know how to put it into words. It’s a phenomenal tour-de-force of acting, visuals, animation, music, and of course, writing, all combining together to be just absolutely unsurpassable. Everything that makes this series good, boiled down to it’s essence. And yes, this did seal the deal for me with BKDK. I liked it before, but this made it a done deal. No going back. And I love it.

BEST GIRL OF THE EP: Uraraka for being so supportive.

[bakusoftie]

I was just listening to creepypasta and got an idea. Could you do hcs for Bakugo and Kirishima’s reactions to seeing a scary fucking demon/ghost or whatever while they’re hanging out with their crush in some creepy place? Or really, just any situation where they’re hanging with their crush and some scary paranormal shit starts happening. I’m in a big mood for some horror. This would make my LIFE thank you 🙌🏻

I’m such a huge horror fan so this made me uwu so hard (also i hope you don’t mind but I made separate scenarios for them but if you wanted poly I could do that 🥺👉👈)

Warnings: Gory Descriptions!!! + Ouija Boards + Kaminari being a dumbass

Kiricutie + Bakubabe experiencing some scary shit with their s/o

🦈 kiricutie 🦈

It was all Denki’s fault

That living enbodiment of a phone charger was the one who dared the entirety of the bakusquad to go to this “haunted” house

Bakugou, of course, said he had better things to do but,,,

Kirishima (being the manliest man he is) just had to be there to protect his s/o from all the bad spirits and creatures of the night

But the thing is- Kirishima is fucking terrified.

You, on the other hand, are so excited maybe a bit nervous and he wants to be one to protect you and be your man

Kaminari, Mina and Sero get too far ahead of themselves and rush off into different parts of the attraction so it's just you and the sharp-toothed cutie,,,all alone,,,in a dark, supposedly haunted house. Oof.

At first,It isn’t as bad as Kirishima thought. Plus, he gets to spend time with you and whenever you’d hear a scream you would unconsciously brush your hand against his and suddenly he doesn’t even realize that he was anxious in the first place. That is until you get to this bloody door that explicitly says ‘Do Not Enter’.

“Oh well, I guess we’ll just have to move on then, s/o”

Being the dumbass you are,,,You grabbed Kirishima’s hand and busted through the door (all that you could think of was ‘I need to see some ghost cheeks 👻’)

The room was dark and had a overwhelming stench to it. So, you ran your hand over the wall to find a light switch

all the while, kiri is begging that you two meet up with everyone else but 👏them👏ghost👏 cheeks👏

when you did find the strangely wet lightswitch, you turned it on to discover the fresh blood dripping down your hands and wondering why kirishima was so silent, you turned around.

He was in some state of shock, his once bright and tanned skin is now a sickly pale. He moves in front of you when you tried to follow his eyesight, desperately trying to protect you from the horrendous sight but you managed to take a look from over his shoulder

The entire room had dark crimson sludge splattered on the walls and the ground they currently stood on.

But that wasn’t even the worst of it.

It was the various amounts of flesh and guts scattered over a steel, rusted autopsy table where a body laid still as a rock. The body was mutilated and had several markings on it

The two of you weren't sure if it was real or just very detailed decorations but you both shared a look that told each other that they needed to leave and get help.

You moved quickly through the house to find your friends, still joining hands with Kirishima.

When you found Kaminari, Mina and Sero roasting a Pennywise cosplayer, you and Eijirou let out a breath of relief and pleaded them to come with you so you could show them the fucking mess y'all witnessed but when you got to the cursed hallway that you swore had a row of doors along it-

The door was fucking gone?!?

Everyone except you and Eijirou, who were both shocked and sick to their stomachs, was laughing and playing it off as a joke but

Whatever the fuck you both experienced together sure as hell bonded you for life.

💥bakubaby💥

Bakugou doesn't scare easy. This bitch used to watch horror movies when he was 3 years old and had hardcore death metal as his lullaby.

He a tough boi

But when it comes to you, he's so fucking soft and full of warmth 🥰

He fucking loves you even tho you can be kinda stupid sometimes all the time

Like right now, You and Bakubae were at a party that Hagakure was throwing and normally Bakugou would be like ‘fuck no I rather stick a cactus up my ass than hang out with a bunch of extras’ but when you looked so sad that he didn’t want to come with you and said ‘oh,,,that’s fine I guess,,,I’ll just ask Todoroki to come with me’

YOU ALREADY KNOW THIS BITCH DID NOT HESITATE TO LET YOU KNOW YOUR ASS IS HIS

and vice versa (“that bakubooty is MINE NOW,THOTS” - S/O declares from the roof of U.A)

The party was lame and the only thing interesting so far was seeing Iida get drunk and dance to Old Time Road.

Until you ask Momo to whip out an Ouija board from her titties.

Now, Bakugou doesn't really believe in ghosts or shit like that but for some reason, he just has this weird feeling about all of this

But he doesn't want to be seen as a weakling because of a stupid board with the alphabet on it.

You call over Deku and Icy-hot to join you in conjuring some motherfucking ghOSTs

You deadass had to pick all the people he absolutely hates, didn’t you?

Anyway, Bakugou couldn’t let these weak extras show him up so he grabs the planchette and asks you how the fuck this shitty toy works.

when you put your hand on his, he uwus so hard omg

but then dEKU and pRinCe zUkO had to ruin everything by putting their hands on the piece of wood too.

bruh shouto better watch tf out because if he sees y’alls pinkies brush against each other one more fucking time he’s going to go FERAL

The shitty wood chip started to pull their hands toward the ‘HELLO’ side of the board and bakugou went *surprised pikachu face*

HE WASNT SCARED HES JUST TAKEN ABACK FUCKING STUPID DEKU I BET HIS WEAK ASS MOVED IT

“Now we’re supposed to ask it questions.”

”U-um are you here to hurt us?”

”SHUT IT ICYHOT AND STUPID DEKU!,,,I got shit to ask this little dead bitch!!”

Bakudumbass, you should never insult a spirit wtf.

After his rude remark, the candles that you had lit around the four of you suddenly went out. I mean it wasn’t a big deal because shouto could easily light them back up but it definitely shook the lot of you to your core.

When the candles were relit, you couldn’t but help to notice that Izuku was missing from the circle

Oh shit

Bakugou thinks that this is all some stupid fucking scheme to get back at him and he swears when he finds Deku, he will break his bones worse than one for all ever could.

But he shuts that thought down the moment that he senses the burning feeling of eyes staring right into his soul. He looks behind him at the dark shadowy figure that seems to be using the freckled, green-haired hero as it's vessel.

Izuku’s once emerald-green eyes are now a shade of glowing crimson and his once warm, friendly smile now a gruesomely wide smirk as his body now dangles from the air.

(”you need to learn how to treat others kindly, bakugou katsuki”)

Bakugou is ready for this weird ass shadow man to attack him, he’s got his palms already sparking for the opportunity to blow his ass away back to whatever hell it came from

That doesn’t exactly go as planned

The monster doesn’t come at him but instead, he uses his black matter tendrils to pin you and shouto to the floor as the vine-like shadows slither around your body and constricts your lungs from breathing properly.

It isn’t long until you and todoroki pass out from the lack of air flow and

Bakugou goes into a rage as he sees your unmoving body displayed across the floor as he was too slow to protect you from this fate

The monster discards Deku’s body across the room like a ragdoll and slides its venom-looking ass next to Bakugou’s face and as soon as his crimson eyes meet then eyeless sockets of complete void, Katsuki’s head is smashed into the floorboard as the demonic energy escapes through the window to wreak havoc on the world.

Kaminari decides to check up on the four that ventured off by themselves and when he enter the room and saw them all laying on the floor huddled together, surrounded by candles all he could think to say was...

”🥺 they didn't invite me to the orgy”

[legedsrebornamyheroacademiastory]

Legends Reborn Chapter 7

Chapter 7: Full Cowl! Deku’s Last Stand!

(Disclaimer!! I own nothing of My Hero Academia)

Deku was in deep pain.

“I admire your courage to stand up against me,” Quirk Monger said, “But after I achieve my goal, I’m taking your place as the new hero. Anyone who survives, I hope they remember you.”

The wounds from his body started to repair themselves.

“Had you not been so selfish your little girlfriend’s death would’ve been quick and painless, but now that you and your friends managed to piss me off, I think I’m gonna finish her, nice and slow.”

He made a big mistake threatening Deku’s crush.

“Ochako and I………. We’re gonna have a hell of a time.”

Deku stopped him by grabbing his leg.

“Nobody……….. threatens……… my……… URARAKA!!!!”  

When Legends Rise by Godsmack

Legs are tied, these hands are broken

Alone I try with words unspoken

Silent cry, my breath is frozen

With blinded eyes, I fear myself

He spun him around and threw him at a wall.

Deku then went into his super form, Full Cowling 100%. 

His hair started to glow, and power was flowing through his body.

Thanks to the suit’s modifications, he was able to still move despite using this much power.

“This ends here, and it ends now!” He said.

It's burning down, it's burning high

When ashes fall the legends rise

We burned it out oh my oh why

When ashes fall the legends rise

He charged at Quirk Monger.

“Remember what Torodoki taught me,” he thought to himself.

He did a pose looking like he was about to do a Detroit smash.

“Predictable….”

Deku then faked out and did the Columbus Smash knocking him into the air.

He then dashed at him again and did a barrage of punches.

Quirk Monger tried to dodge but Deku was too quick.

Deku then forced Quirk Monger to a wall and started pounding on him.

Throat is dry, my vision's fading

I'm paralyzed and left here waiting

Taking time just one step forward

Won't lose my mind, I'm here to stay

Quirk Monger used Uraraka’s quirk to force him away.

“You know, after Chiaski, this is the second time I had to use this quirk,” Deku said.

Quirk Monger got back up.

“I will admit you are stronger than I realized, but even so, I have more quirks than you could ever hope to have,” he said, “With this power, I will become the hero that history cannot ignore!”

It's burning down, it's burning high

When ashes fall the legends rise

We burned it out oh my oh why

When ashes fall the legends rise

Whoa (legends rise)

Whoa (legends rise)

(Legends rise)

Using a special quirk he stole from someone, he made a hologram showing Deku his plan.

“Once I defeat you, I will ahnilalate all quirk users who would dare challenge me, and I will reign supreme,” he said, “I shall surpass all heroes, including All Might!”

They kept clashing at each other, each person refusing to back down. 

Thanks to the accelerated healing, Deku didn’t feel as much pain using his arms and legs.

Uraraka was watching him.

“You got this Deku-Kun!” She said.

It's burning down, it's burning high

When ashes fall the legends rise

We burned it out oh my oh why

When ashes fall the legends rise

Whoa (legends rise)

Whoa (legends rise)

“Columbus……..” He said faking out again.

He then went for the Delaware Smash forcing him back.

Quirk Monger got back up losing his mask.

Deku started to remember something.

When he first had All Might’s quirk, he had to learn to control it. 

He then had an idea.

“You’re mistaken if you think you can surpass All Might, even if you have a lifetime supply of quirks,” Deku said.

“Excuse me?”

“All Might has more power than you’ll ever hope to have! And also, there’s one thing you don’t know. He passed his quirk onto me.”

“What?”

“So if anyone would surpass All Might, it would be me. I have his quirk, and compared to me, you’re just second best!”

Quirk Monger thought for a moment. 

“That’s true….. because you have All Might’s quirk, your power exceeds mine…….. but not for long.”

He took out his hand.

“Give me your quirk Deku,” he said, “If you comply I just might spare your friends!”

Deku thought for a moment.

“Very well,” he said.

He took his hand and Quirk Monger begun to glow green.

Uraraka was worried.

“Oh no….” She said, “We have to…..”

She was about to run after him but Aizawa stopped her.

“If you care about him, you’ll trust what he’s doing.”

Quirk Monger chuckled finally having achieved his goal.

“Most powerful quirk user on earth, second to nobody at long last!” He said, “And I thought I had power before.”

He turned to Deku.

“You should be fortunate, as you and your friends shall live while I lay waste to all the other fools who dream to be heroes!”

He channeled up 100% power, and suddenly he started to feel pain.

“My body…….. it won’t move…..”

He turned back to Deku.

“What did you do?”

“I didn’t do anything to you?”

“WHAT DID YOU DO?!” He screamed in pain.

“You’re the one using the quirk, not me,” Deku said, “You wanted my quirk, you got it. And everything that goes with it.”

Quirk Monger was infuriated.

“The thing about the quirk, if you don’t train your body enough, you’ll end up damaging it.”

The power was too much for Quirk Monger.

He started glowing different colors and one by one he begun to lose his quirks. 

There was then an explosion.

Deku was unharmed and Quirk Monger laid there defenseless.

“Just go ahead and finish me off,” he said, “I can’t go on….. like this….”

Deku put his fists down.

“That’s not the answer,” he said, “You think you have it hard? There are dozens of people who are quirkless, but the only difference is they don’t have your special ability. But you have something great, and now you have to decide whether or not you’ll use it for others rather than for your own personal gain.”

He started to walk away as the authorities came to arrest Quirk Monger

“A great hero taught me that.”

Quirk Monger wasn’t going to let Deku win.

He saw a crowbar and grabbed it.

“If anyone’s gonna be the ultimate quirk user, ITS GONNA BE ME!!!!!” He said.

He charged at him but was frozen in place.

That was caused by Todoroki.

“He had a mouth,” he said.

Deku was walking down the building, his clothes ripped up, and a few bruises on his body that started to heal up.

Uraraka saw him.

“Deku?” She asked.

Deku looked up and saw her.

They both ran into each other and embraced one another.

“Are you ok?” Deku asked.

“I’m fine, are you?” 

“I’m good, a few bruises but thanks to my accelerated healing they’re all gone.”

Uraraka was overjoyed to see that Deku was safe and sound.

“Where’s the Quirk Monger?” Iida asked.

“The police got to him,” Deku said, “He’s going to prison for quite a bit.”

“Well, I guess I didn’t need this,” Uraraka said holding a mace.

They all chuckled.

“Well, alls well that ends well,” Uraraka said.

Mina bumped her shoulder.

“Ahem,” she said.

She finally gave in.

“Deku……. So I’ve been wanting to tell you something for a while, but….. I mean its not that big of a deal,” she said.

“What is it?” Deku asked.

“Well, you’re really amazing, and I’m really happy that we’re great friends and all,” she continued, “And I like all of the things that you do and you’ve always been such a good friend to me….. wow I just said friend twice…”

Mina squealed silently while Jiro nodded her head approvingly.

“You’ve always encouraged me to keep going, you’ve always been there for me when I needed someone, you’re helpful, gental, kind, supportive and……. Ugh this isn’t coming out how I want it to!” She said blushing.

She turned to Deku.

“Deku…. no, Izuku what I’m trying to say is…… I….. I really really like you,” she said, “And I hope it doesn’t make things weird.”

“Uraraka….”

“Please don’t let it make things weird,” Uraraka said, “I understand if you don’t feel the same way, but I just had to….”

Deku kissed her cheek.

Uraraka’s face was as red as a tomato.

He then checked his pockets to make sure his gift was unharmed.

“Aww thank goodness,” he said.

Uraraka was confused.

He pulled out the necklace he got back in Brooklyn.

“I knew this was gonna be your favorite city, and I wanted to give you something special,” he said.

It was a necklace with a picture of both of them.

“I had this big plan, I was gonna buy you this, then give it to you on top of a building, and then tell you how I feel, but then all of this happened,” he said.

“Izuku….” She said, “Its beautiful.”

“As a matter of fact Uraraka….. no, Ochako, I….. really like you too,” Deku said, “I was just scared you didn’t feel the same way. As it turns out you do and I’m happy.”

Uraraka was surprised.

“This…. This can’t be real,” she said.

She looked down and saw Deku’s hand holding hers.

“But…. It is.”

They got close and pecked each other on the lips.

The two of them smiled but wanted something more.

The got close again had a real kiss.

Bakugo was looking.

“FINALLY!!!!” He shouted.

Eraserhead was watching.

“Finally what?”

“Oh…. One of my gauntlets was acting finicky and I fixed it,” he said.

Deku and Uraraka finished their kiss.

“About freakin’ time,” Kirishima said. 

Iida patted Deku on the shoulder.

“Congrats you two,” he said.

Kaminari and Jirou congratulated them as well.

“This calls for a celebration!” Mina said, “The it couple finally comes to pass.”

Everyone headed back to the bus.

Deku and Uraraka walked by holding hands.

Yagi was watching Deku.

“You never cease to amuse me kid,” he said grinning.

Back at UA High School there was a celebration going on over the victory of Deku and friends.

Uraraka told her parents about Deku.

“Mom, Dad, I’d like you to meet Izuku “Deku” Midoriya,” she said, “My boyfriend.”

Deku smiled at the sound of that word.

Mr. Uraraka embraced Deku.

“My little girl has finally found her special soulmate,” he said, “In any case, its good to meet you son.”

“Likewise, our little girl has told us so much about you,” Uraraka’s mother said, “You’re even more handsome in person.”

“Mom,” Uraraka said embarrassed.

Deku was surprised at first but also happy. 

“You know, you two aren’t getting any younger,” Mr. Uraraka said, “Have you ever thought about marriage?”

Deku blushed.

“Well I’m…. I’m sure we have many years til that happens!”

He chuckled and said, “You never know.”

Everyone saw a car flying. 

“What was that?” Deku asked.

They all looked to see a piece of weaponized armor wreaking havoc.

“Dinner afterwards?” He asked Uraraka.

“You know it,” she said, “Let’s go.”

A man in a suit calling himself The Bulldozer was walking towards the police ready to fight. 

HE pulled out machine guns that shot out small rocks and fired.

“I’m here live where it is complete chaos,” said a news reporter, “A man in a strange weaponized armor is wreaking havoc on Musutafu. 

The man chuckled.

“I am the Bull-Dozer,” he said, “I told you I’d have my regenge!”

The cops started firing but nothing worked. 

The armor was too strong.

A kid in a Deku costume rushed into the fray.

Some officers stopped firing.

“There’s a kid in the way!!”

Bull-Dozer stopped.

“Kid you have to run,” the officer said.

The boy refused to step down.

“Look people, Deku has returned from vacation!” Bull-Dozer said mockingly. 

The little boy was ready to fight and got into a pose.

“Very brave boy,” Bull-Dozer said, “Are you scared?”

He started walking forward.

Suddenly he stopped.

The boy thought he had intimidated him.

“Hey Deku.”

He turned around to see Deku in his armor. 

“I knew you’d return,” he said.

“Yeah, but I appreciate you filling in my shoes while I was away,” Deku said, “I’ll take care of this punk, you take care of your parents.”

The boy ran back to his mother and father.

Deku and Gravity were ready to face the villain.

“You ready to fight?” Bull-Dozer said.

“On behalf of the fine people of Musutafu and real bulls everywhere, I kindly ask you to put your mechanized hands in the air,” Uraraka said.

“NEVER!!!!” Bull-Dozer said, “I crush you, I kill you. I destroy you!”

“You want us to come down there so you can kill us?” Deku asked.

“Yes!”

“I’ll be right there,” Deku said, “There’s no place like home.”

Bull-Dozer started running and changed to bull formation.

He then fired rockets.

Uraraka touched each of them and made them fly into the river while Deku jumped up.

“Columbus……. SMASH!!!!!”

The End…..

Someone was watching Deku and his friends from a hidden spaceship.

“Intriguing,” he said.

He also saw his friends at UA High School.

“For years, I have searched from planet to planet for subjects to test my skills,” he said, “But these humans, they seem, stronger than I anticipated.”

He turned to his subjects.

“The search, is over!”

A group of ships were heading towards Planet Earth.

Their Hero Academia – Chapter 58: An Exam Cometh!

Presenting the next raw and unedited chapter of my on-going, next-gen, My Hero Academia fic, Their Hero Academia!

Earlier chapters can be found here

There was a somewhat somber mood in the classroom as 1-A settled in Tuesday morning.  The funeral yesterday had been the cap to a long week that stretched back to the Nomu attacks and had been a roller coaster for many of them ever since.  But things looked to Isamu like they were finally getting back to normal.  The class was back together again and even if they weren’t all up to their usual selves, they were getting there.  Even Shinso had been in a slightly cheerier mood last night, joining him and Midoriya for a few rounds of Smash Fighters 3000 in Midoriya’s room.

The room fell into a hushed silence as Aizawa entered.  They knew by this point not to screw around once he was there.  Well, most of them did.  He was pretty sure Mineta and Sero hadn’t gotten the same message as everybody else.  

Aizawa stood at his podium for a moment before speaking.  “Only three seconds to quiet down.  An improvement.”   His eyes swept the room and his face relaxed a fraction of a centimeter.  “I know your Internship experiences were harrowing, but I’ve also had the opportunity to review the feedback your mentors provided, and you all acquitted yourselves well, even in the face of some concerns over discipline.”   There was a glance reserved for Mineta and Sero again at that.

“However, that does not change the fact that your final exams will be in two weeks.  Your subject exams will be the Monday through Thursday of that week, with the practical Heroics exam on Friday.”

That wasn’t a surprise, really.  The dates for final exams had been in the syllabus on the first day of class.  But that seemed like both yesterday and a lifetime ago.  There was the phrase “time flies when you’re having fun”, but had the term really been fun? It seemed like much of it had been long moments of calm split by absolute and total panic.

Then again, in the time since that first day, he’d made friends, won the Sports Festival, interned with Deku, seen a monster, gotten a girlfriend…

Yeah, okay, there was some fun there.

Up in the front row, he saw Izumi raise her hand.  Once Aizwa gave her permission to speak, she asked, “Will you be telling us any details of the exam, Sensei?” she asked.

A good question, and Isamu sat up a little straighter in his seat to listen.  Regular final exams would be difficult enough—they weren’t kidding when they said U.A. was academically rigorous!—but he couldn’t imagine what the Heroics exam would be like.

And then something happened that sent a chill up Isamu’s spine.  Aizawa… smiled.  It wasn’t a normal person’s smile, but a rictus grin, and it looked deeply unsettling on his face.  It was the smile of someone about to deliver a devastating smackdown onto a foe and take utter delight in doing it.  A shrill scream split the air.  It was Sero.

“Dude,” Sato said, “what was that?”

“He’s smiling!” Sero wailed. “We’re doomed!  Dooooomed!”

“I’m too young to die!” Kaminari wailed.

“I’m too hot to die!” Mineta shrieked, joining in the wailing.

Even Midoriya, in the front row, seemed afraid.  “Oh no, oh no, oh no, not good!”

Isamu felt his own heartbeat quicken, but he took a look to the opposite end of the row to decide what was the most appropriate reaction.  Kirishima-Bakugo looked deadly serious, as opposed to her usual pissed off. And even she seemed slightly ill at ease at the prospects hidden behind that smile.

“Funny you should ask, Todoroki,” Aizawa said.  “You all did an impressive job working together during the Sports Festival.  I don’t know which one of you came up with it, but it was impressive tactical thinking.  And since you all like working together, the teachers decided to change up some of the conditions of the Heroics exam.”

There was a mad glint in their teacher’s eyes now.  “Either you all pass… or no one does.”

***

That night, Class 1-A gathered in the Common Room.  As usual, Isamu sat on one of the couches with Shinso, Izumi, and Sora Iida.   Midoriya and Tokoyami were at the front of their room, with a whiteboard.  One of the other couches was occupied by Sero, Sato, Ojiro, and Tensei Iida. A third couch was occupied by Aoyama, Koda, Shoji, with Aoyama looking rather small compared to his two classmates. Mineta and Kaminari had pulled up chairs, while Kirishima-Bakugo stood behind the couch Isamu and the others were on, together with the class, but apart as always.

Most of them were chatting away, while Midoriya and Tokoyami, the Class Representatives (Yeah, that was definitely not a job he wanted.) tried to get everyone’s attention, unsuccessfully.  “Hey!” Shinso shouted, putting just a little something into his voice to make it echo and pierce the noise.   “Toshi and Asuka are trying to talk!”

That got everyone to quiet down.

“Sorry Mom and Dad,” Sero said.   That got a laugh out of several people, until Kirishima-Bakugo moved to behind him and gave him a smack upside the head.

“Thank you, Shota,” Asuka said.   Frog-Shadow was out again, sitting on her shoulder.  “So we’ve got two things to discuss.  The first is the formation of study groups for the subject area final exams. Math, Science, Literature, History, Science, and English.”

“We’re hoping to have someone who’s doing well in each class lead some study sessions or make themselves available to answer questions,” Midoriya said.  

“We’re all going to die,” Ojiro wailed.

“Kimmie, it’s not that bad,” Sato tried to reassure her.

“This is just going to tank my grades, Kenta!”

“They couldn’t be any worse than mine, Kimmie,” Sero said, grinning.  

She punched him in the arm. “That’s not something to be proud of, Takuma!”

“Hey, leave him alone,” Kaminari said.  “He’s the only person who’s grades are worse than mine!”

“See,” Sero said, “when it comes to being the worse, I’m the best!”

Both of the Iida twins thrust their hands into the air.   “We volunteer for science and math!” Sora Iida said.  

Midoriya flushed a little at that.  “Ah, actually, Sora, I was thinking maybe not you?  Not that you aren’t smart!  But, ah, you’re both a lot smarter than most of us. I don’t know if you could dumb it down?”

The hands went down. “That is… acceptable,” Sora said.

“We would not wish to hinder anyone’s progress,” Tensei agreed.  “And we do have additional Support Class projects to complete.”

Reluctantly, Isamu put his hand up.  “I can probably handle science,” he said.  “It was mostly physics this term.  I’m good at that.”  He had to be, thanks to his Quirk.  Knowing how much force to apply and where it was going to send him flying and how much he needed to break at a certain speed was vital.

“Excellent, thank you,” Tokoyami said.  She handed her marker to Frog-Shadow, who looked at it curiously.   “If you’d write that down?”

“Why me?”

“Because you asked to be more involved,” she replied, rolling her eyes.

“Oh, right!” Frog-Shadow bubbled, before flying off to write his name down.

Mineta stuck a hand in the air.  “I can take English,” she said.  “Vocab and translations, anyway.  Grammar’s still a little weird.”

“I guess that works,” Midoriya said, though he didn’t look like he believed it.  “Just… be on your best behavior, okay?”

“When am I not?”

“If that’s your best behavior, Horse-Girl, I’d hate to see you worst,” Kirishima-Bakugo growled.

“Allow me to provide what Mineta cannot,” Aoyama said.  He looked pretty smug about it.  Of course, everyone knew that he and Mineta didn’t get along. He was probably relishing an opportunity to show her up in something.  “I am reasonably trilingual, after all, n'est-ce pas?”

“And I can take History,” Izumi volunteered.

“Great!” Midoriya said. “Now we’re getting somewhere…”

***

Eventually, they came back around to the subject of the Heroics final exam.  Midoriya cleared his throat and looked a little red from embarrassment.   “So, this is probably my fault, guys.  The whole Sports Festival thing was my plan.  Sorry I got us into this mess….”

“Oh, bullshit,” Kirishima-Bakugo said, causing all eyes to fall on her and Isamu to jump.  “Maybe you threw some gas on the fire, Toshi, but you have to know Aizawa was planning something like this.  Him and his “logical ruses.’”   She crossed her arms and nodded, as if that explained everything.

“She does have a point, Toshi,” Izumi said.

“She does?” Midoriya asked, surprised.  Then he looked over at Kirishima-Bakugo, who was glaring at him.  “She does!”

“You couldn’t have known,” Isamu said.  “And it was a good plan.  I don’t know if I’d have won if you hadn’t gotten us that far.” If he’d had to race and fight at the same time, without Mineta watching his back (making innuendos the whole way), he doubted he would have done half as well.  

But it wasn’t surprising that Midoriya thought it was his fault.  The guy always seemed to fall into a pattern of trying to take care of all of them, which meant he was just as likely to try and shoulder all the blame.

“None of us blame you, Toshi,” Tokoyami insisted.  

“Besides,” Isamu offered, “I talked to Kana over in 1-B…”

He was interrupted by Ojiro. “Did you hear that?  He’s using her first name now!  Squeeee!  They’re getting closer!”

Okay, he was going to pretend he didn’t hear that.  He really didn’t need to end up the topic of conversation on her web show.  “As I was saying, I was talking to Kana and she says Super-Ball told 1-B the same thing.  Only not as scary as Aizawa was.  They’re pass or fail as a group too.  She said Super-Ball said it was about building up their teamwork skills.”

“My friend, Mizuno, from 1-C said much the same thing,” Koda said.  “Battle-Fist also emphasized the need for better teamwork.”

“Looks like you sparked a revolution, Midoriya,” Sero said, only to be silenced by a smack from Ojiro.

“Okay,” Midoriya said, nodding, taking a couple breaths to steady himself.  “So sounds like it was something they were going to do anyway. Not my fault.  Good.  Then if the Heroics exam is going to be a pass/fail for everyone, we’re going to need a plan.”

“How are we going to do that?” Shoji asked.  “We don’t know what form the exam will take.”

Midoriya nodded again, now in his element when a plan was required.  “We don’t,” he agreed.  “But we do know, whatever it is, it’s going to require us to work together and it’s going to be bigger than anything we’ve had tossed at us before now.  That’s the only reasonable extrapolation of the pass/fail condition.”

“So that means,” he went on, “we need to train like we’ve never trained before.  Until anybody here can work with anybody else.

“Right now,” Toshi finished, “it doesn’t matter who your best friend is.”   He looked over at Sero, Ojiro, and Sato.   “It doesn’t matter who you don’t get along with.” This look was given to Aoyama and Mineta.  “Or how mad everyone might make you.”  A look went out to Kirishima-Bakugo.

“Right now, we’re all in this together.  We’re Class 1-A and we need to come together.”

Shinso let out a cheer and a clap.   Even Isamu had to admit, he felt pretty inspired.

“Fancy speech, Toshi,” Kirishima-Bakugo said.  “But you got a real plan to back it up?”

Midoriya looked a bit deflated at that.  “Not entirely,” he admitted.  “But Asuka and I were going to discuss some likely scenarios.  If you want to help, you’re more than welcome.”

“Damn straight, I will. I’m not letting any of you pull me down with you.  We’re gonna pass even if I have to kick your asses every inch of the way.”

Midoriya’s confidence returned.  Even Isamu knew this was just her way.  “Well, you heard her, people.  We’re going to pass!”

Somehow, this became a rallying cry.

“We’re going to pass!   PLUS UTLRA!”

***

Izumi’s room always reminded Chihiro of the fact that while she was extremely well off, Izumi’s family was so rich it practically made the word useless.  There was a four poster bed, an ornate oak desk, wood paneling added to all the walls… even the desk lamp looked like it cost way more than things like that should.  “Don’t touch anything,” she warned Mika.

Mika shot her a dirty look. “I’m not a child, Chi.”

“You’re not always graceful, Mika.  Like a bull in a china shop.”

“That’s hurtful.  And possibly racist”

Chihiro facepalmed at that.   “I’d like to apologize for her in advance,” she said.

“Please, do not worry about it,” Izumi said, standing as they entered.  “May I offer you tea and sweets?”   She indicated the tea tray and plate she had already laid out.

After she and Mika had accepted Izumi’s offering, all three took seats.   “So what’s up?” Chihiro asked.   Izumi asking to talk to her was one thing; they were good friends.  But other than when she was around, Mika and Izumi didn’t usually have too much to do with one another.

“I need your help,”

Okay, add that to the list of things she never thought she’d hear.  “I’m guessing not with homework or anything?” Chihiro said.   “Because that’s definitely not me.”   Izumi was way towards the front of the class anyway.   So was Mika, for that matter.   She belatedly realized she was the dumbest person in the room.   On the other hand, she might still win the medal for most common sense.

“Not homework,” Izumi assured her.  “The matter is more personal.”

“Is this about a guy? Or a girl?” Mika asked.  “Because I was ninety-nine percent sure you didn’t go for that.”

Startled at her friend’s abruptness, Chihiro smacked her upside the head with one of her Cords.  “Don’t be crude.”

Izumi, fortunately, took it all in stride.  “You are correct that I do not “go for that.’”

Huh.   Chihiro had always known that Izumi hadn’t displayed much interest in anyone, but given that her other best friend was interested in everyone, she’d figured it was just less interest, not none.  How had she been that clueless?

“So what do you need?” Chihiro asked.  

Izumi closed her eyes for a moment and took a breath.  When she opened them, she looked as serious as Chihiro had ever seen her.  “I need to find my grandfather.”

“What happened?” Mika asked. “Was there a big tax scandal?  Is Grandpa Yaoyorozu hiding out from the feds in the tropics?”

“No,” Izumi said.  “Not him.  My grandfather on my father’s side.”

“Endeavor?” Chihiro asked. “Why?”   A thought occurred to her, something that had come up during her Internship with Aunt Momo. “Wait, does this have anything to do with Plague?”

Next to her, Mika had pulled out her phone, but right now, her friend’s rudeness wasn’t her biggest concern.

Izumi’s eyes went wide. “How do you know that name?”

“Daddy called Aunt Momo. Said you’d found out about somebody with that name.”

Izumi took another moment to collect her thoughts.  "What I am about to tell you cannot leave this room."

"Izumi, you're scaring me."  Her friend was never this intense.  Whatever it was, this all had to be deadly serious.

Izumi locked eyes with her. "Promise me, Chihiro."

Chihiro was worried now, but kept eye contact. "Okay. I promise."

"Do you remember when I was sick?"

That did very little to narrow it down.  Izumi had had plenty of health issues over the years.  Chihiro had visited her in the hospital countless times.  "You're going to need to specify, Izumi. You've been sick a lot."

"The time I was very sick.  The time that really started it all."

Oh yeah.  That one.  Chihiro looked at the floor.  "I remember."

Izumi sighed.  "During my internship, Uncle Denki let it slip that there was possibly something more... complicated behind it."

Daddy was in on whatever this was?  "Complicated? How?"

"Complicated, as it was the implied that it was a villain, this “Plague,” who got me sick."

“Okay,” Chihiro said, her head spinning as she tried to make sense of it.  Nervously, she tapped the ends of her Cords together.  “Okay, did you talk to your parents about this?”

Izumi shook her head. "I did not. After the Nomu attacks, Mother and Father...they wanted to pull me from the school.  I exhausted myself.  Again."

Of course they did. She knew it was ongoing drama with Izumi and her parents.

Before she could speak, Izumi held up her hand. "I managed to talk them down. For now. Part of me suspects that at the next big incident, the next time I falter, they'll try again. That's why I didn't ask them. I couldn't. I didn't want to bring up the pain they went through again."

Izumi pointed to a plush rabbit on her bed, one which looked fairly new.  “I am certain he visited me in the hospital.  Things are… becoming complicated.”

Izumi inhaled deeply before continuing. "I've been thinking a lot since then. I've been remembering things. Things I thought I forgot. I want to find out what happened to me, but I can't go to my parents. I can't go to anyone, not your father, not Uncle Deku, no one, because they'll go to my parents. I know I can count on you to keep my secrets, both of you.

“I cannot burden Katsumi with this.  She has enough to carry right now without carrying me as well.  You don't have to help if you don't want to get in trouble-"

“Found him,” Mika said, looking up from her phone.

“…How the hell did you do that?” Chihiro asked.  It could not possibly have been that easy.

“Daddy never changes his login ID or password for anything,” Mika said.  “I just used one of the databases available to Heroes to look up an address.  It’s not even that far.”

Chihiro just stared.  “Every time I think I’ve got you figured out…”

Izumi looked equally startled, worried, and pleased.  “Thank you, Mineta,” she said, quietly.

Mika shrugged.  “Hey, what’re friends for?”

***

Normally, Toshi did his morning jog with Katsumi, sometimes joined by Kana Tetsutetsu.  He’d also occasionally convinced Haimawari to join them, though that was fairly rare.  But this morning, he was alone.   Katsumi had begged off for wanting to focus on weight training instead and Tetsutetsu was apparently busy with some emergency in her dorm, according to her text.

Which was fine.  He could be alone with his thoughts.   Like the thought that he didn’t have idea one what they were getting into with the exam and it would definitely be his fault if they all failed, bringing shame upon the Midoriya name and leading to Sora dumping him and Katsumi killing him.

Well.  That had escalated quickly.

“Mi… Midoriya!” The sound of his name drew him out of his panic.  It came with labored breathing and he came to a stop, turning and seeing Shiro Monoma, dressed in workout clothes, running up behind him.  Monoma’s not out of shape, but it’s a wiry build, more suited to agility and gymnastics, than Toshi’s more muscular one.  

“What’s up, Monoma?” he asked.  Monoma hadn’t done anything antagonistic yet, which was a good sign.  In fact, Toshi couldn’t remember seeing him at all during the past week, or even hearing him, which was even stranger.  He didn’t have the same extreme dislike for the other boy that Katsumi did, but he would hardly say they were on friendly terms, even though they were neighbors.  Honestly, he mostly did his best to ignore Monoma’s jabs at the class.

“I need to talk to you about the exam,” Monoma said.  

“I don’t know what they’re going to do any more than you do,” Toshi told him.  “I can make a few educated guesses though, based on our Heroics classes and all though.  Happy to talk, if you want.”

He stole a glance at his watch.  “Can we run though?  I want to get this in before classes and my heart rate’s already dropping.”

Monoma looked rather pained by the prospect, but nodded.  “Okay.”

Since he wasn’t completely unfeeling, Toshi did tone his run down to something slightly less than his usual, letting Monoma keep up.  “So like I said, I don’t really know, but I can guess.  Got to be something large scale, if they’re going to be able to score all of us on it.  And that means something with a lot of different moving parts.  Probably Villains to fight, people to rescue, maybe something to find like a bomb…”

Monoma was, to his credit, keeping up with Toshi, though he looked like he was pushing himself a bit to do it.  “That’s… good thinking…,” he said, between breaths.  “But not what I wanted to ask about.”

“Then what?” Toshi asked.

“I need to know,” Monoma said, with such seriousness that it took Toshi aback for a moment.  “how you got… everyone to work… together.”  

Toshi took pity on him and slowed down a little more.  “Everyone. Teamwork from the get go.  How do you get them to follow you like that?  How did you get all those different personalities to work together like that?”

Shiro’s voice turned bitter. “I try and I try to make everyone better.  I want them to succeed, I really do.  But no one listens to me.  I can’t… Hardly any of my class made it through the final round.  And I got lucky as it was.  I’m worried about them and the final exam.”

“Them?” Toshi asked. His phrasing there was odd. “Them,” he’d said.  Not “us”.

Monoma frowned.  “I had hoped to keep this a secret.  Almost no one knows about this.  But I’m leaving once this term is over.   I’m not cut out for this.   But with how the exam is going to work…  I can’t cost them their futures just because mine’s going to be something else.”

Toshi couldn’t keep the surprise off his face, but fortunately, Monoma wasn’t looking at him to see it. “You’re…” he began.  He actually came to a stop.  Running was a good way to lose himself, and he needed all his wits now.

“I am,” Monoma said, finishing the thought for him.  He bent half off, breathing hard.  He righted himself after a few breaths.  “Don’t try to talk me out of it.”

Now Toshi frowned, but he nodded.  “Not my place to do that.  But I think it’s a mistake.”

Monoma shook his head. “It’s not.  But what about my class?  And what about the exam?”  There was a moment of silence, and then, “Please.  I can’t let failure be my entire legacy here.”

If he lived long enough to become the new Number One Hero, Toshi never would have thought he’d have heard Monoma talk like this.  Usually, the blond boy was full of bravado and confidence, always trying to prove his class’s superiority over 1-A.   And to be fair, 1-A contained the children of a large number of highly ranked Heroes, something that few of Class 1-B could claim.  None of their parents were low ranked, but there was a certain degree of disparity there.  And a much larger portion of Class 1-B had no Hero parents at all.

“Okay, the first thing you have to remember,” Toshi told him, “is that we’re almost all childhood friends.  Some of us more than others and in some different combinations… but we grew up together.  Our parents are close and they passed that onto us.  Trust’s easy that way.”

Given that his parent’s Class A had gone through hell together over three years in a way that their contemporary Class B hadn’t, it was easy to see where stronger bonds might have been forged.  

Monoma nodded.  “My father’s class drifted more during the years. Kana is the only one I was anything close to growing up, along with Mika and Akaya.”

“The other big thing is… Look.  My dad’s the Number One Hero.  I wanted to do the best I could, but the Sports Festival was never about winning for me.”   And sure, he’d managed to share third place with Kocho.  He was proud of his accomplishments, and he’d gone in intending to give it his all, but it hadn’t been his main goal.  Toshi would have been just as happy not to have placed, if it meant other of his friends did.

“So I went in it from the start doing it for them.  And they knew that, so they went along with it.  It wasn’t even about beating your class or anybody else in the race; I just wanted to make sure everybody had the best chance they could.  Somebody like Ojiro or Sato would have had a real hard time doing that in the obstacle course.  So I asked everybody to take a step back now so that they could all have something later.”

It hadn’t quite been as easy as he made it sound.  Convincing Aoyama had been one of the most difficult parts, but the promise of future glories had eventually been enough.

Monoma looked as though he’d been punched.   “…Shit.” His expression devolved further, becoming truly miserable.  “During the Sports Festival, I was so concerned with… things turning out a certain way, I pushed for flare and making a splash.  And not all of them even made it past the Obstacle Course.  Maybe I really do drag them down.  Maybe she was right.”

Toshi frowned.  This was turning pretty dark on him.  And he wasn’t sure who “she” was.  “Look,” he said.  “You want what’s best for them.  That’s admirable.  But if you go so hard on trying to show somebody up, then that’s all you’re going to see.  That’s what Endeavor did for a long time, and you know what happened to him.”

Monoma sighed, then nodded. “Then I am more certain than ever I’ve made the right choice.  But at least I know what I can do for them to help everyone else pass.  Thank you, Midoriya.”

As Monoma left, Toshi wasn’t certain at all that he’d said the right things there.  It certainly didn’t seem like a victory.

***

In the teacher’s lounge, Aizawa looked over the finalized draft of the Heroics practical exam. Talking All Might into it had been difficult, but worth it.  He’d staked his job and reputation on it, but he believed the results would be worth it.

His students, all the students, were talented.  But even with recent events, what they needed was a stark dose of reality to push them further along their paths.

He looked at the profiles spread out in front of him.  The people he’d found would be just the ones to do it.
