o𓆩♡𓆪 BICYCLE DAD PT.1 | HEADCANON 𓆩♡𓆪

╰┈➤ featuring; boku no hero academia! husband! bakugou katsuki! x wife! fem! reader

જ about; your husband gets into cycling to better bond with your children.

જ contents and warning; profanity cause bakugou is on it, cute bakugou children and fluff.

જ author's note; not proof read.

When you had your kids; five of them.

Yes, five. One set of twins who are seven, Yuto and Haruki.

5 year old, Daisuke.

2 year old, Hiroshi.

Finally, seven month old, Rin.

Four boys and a little girl.

Now, how did Bakugou get into cycling you might ask?

Well, it started when your twins are around merely 2 months old.

Bakugou was out grocery shopping for dinner and he had his boys strapped to his chest and back in those baby carrier. Head barely peeking out top.

He didn't need the car since it was close by. Plus, walking is relaxing and nice.

You get to appreciate fresh air.

He has his little tote bags slung on both his shoulder with all the necessary ingredients he needed walking out the grocery store.

Then he spots, a fellow dad who straps in child in the rear child seat of his bicycle.

The little kid looks so excited, the dad also puts away his groceries in the front basket before he cycled away.

Bakugou was floored and looks so shocked.

In a good way,

He wants to do that.

He hurried home. Cooked the best fucking meal.

When you came back home, he's extra nice and offered all kinds of things.

Do you want a bath? Do you want a massage? Oh, how about he takes night shift again for the twins and you don't have to get up tonight when they cry.

That's when you knew.

Your husband wants something.

When your husband wants something that might be particularly too expensive, he ask you first.

You don't know why but he always has to ask you first.

He's a grown ass man who is making great money but always needs your permission.

For example, your husband loves outdoors. He always had.

Before you started dating; he started picking up interest in camping, hiking, rock climbing, fishing. kayaking etc.

When you started dating, he introduced you to his interest.

You loved it. Every second of it. He took you to this beautiful places.

When you started living together, that's when his habit started picking up. Asking you for permission.

When Bakugou sees a gear that is cool and is incredibly useful. He goes up to you,

This man was like those infomercials trying to convince you to get those gears.

He talks about the great aspect about it.

You're just like 'Why don't you just buy it?'

Great idea. Add to cart and deliver by tomorrow.

You don't understand your husband. But you love him.

Ofc, you say yes because it's his money, he earns it and he gets to spend it how he likes.

Responsibly.

Don't worry, he will never blow it off like that. Bakugou is incredibly smart.

So, when this starts happening. You ask him straight up, what is it?

What gear is it?

He tells you, he's going to buy you both bikes and those bike seat for your twins.

He thought it would be a great idea to bond.

But, you intentionally crushed his dreams because your boys are still two months old and can't be on those bike seat yet.

He gets pouty and feels sad.

You tell him, he has to wait 7 months for your sons to ride with their dad or those little bike carriage.

He didn't want that.

Well, he has no choice.

But, he can buy the bikes now.

This gets him hyped. He buys the basket and the bike seats.

He has a countdown on his phone to when they can finally sit by themselves on the bike seat.

By the time they turn 9 months.

Bakugou was up early to prepare.

He made sure to take a day off.

Like 6am early.

He had their whole day prepared; going to a nice park in Chiba which is an hour away, has a nice packed meal, sunscreen, a raincoat just in case it rains, heat pack because rainy days get cold and don't, spare clothes, diaper bags and snacks and a gallon of water etc.

By the time, the boys are up. he's getting them changed with a light jacket on and making sure they're not hungry.

Man. His kids are barely awake and their hair is all over the place.

You: Babe, are sure you should be out this early?

Bakugou: They'll love it babe.

He kisses on the forehead and bids you a 'I'll call you.'

His kids are barely keeping their eye open, he straps them in securely and they're ready to go.

Yuto being in the rear seat and Haruki riding shotgun.

It was still kind of dark outside but with months of planning, Bakugou is prepared for this situation, he had lights installed.

Yuto and Haruki nodding off earlier? Not anymore!

They were squealing excitedly and kicking their legs.

Bakugou is grinning because he finally gets to do what he wanted to do with his kids.

He knew it.

As they were heading to Chiba which is 3 hours away, the sun was starting to rise in the distance.

This was around 30 minutes into travelling. He stops, to take some photos to send to you, hydrate and give his sons some snacks.

Then, they were off again.

People who recognized your very famous Pro-Husband waved and were cooing at your little babies who are in their first bike ride.

They were smiling brightly and squealing a loud 'Go, dada, go'. Not very coherent but you could still make it clearly what they're saying.

BITCH THAT FUCKING SQUEEZED MY HEART.

Your kids were having the time of their life.

They were kicking their feet and sticking out their hands out.

About one and half hour in, they stopped by a little breakfast joint to eat breakfast.

Your twin boys are throwing a bit of tantrum because they wanted to continue to being on the bike.

But, Bakugou scolds them a bit saying they will get on the bike after eating breakfast and they have to behave properly and not be brats.

He wipes their tears with his shirt and the boys hiccups agreed with their dad's condition.

He sat them down on a high chair and he got them the typical Japanese breakfast. Fish, rice, miso soup and a couple of side dishes.

The boys eat heartily and they get lots of compliments from the older ladies who sees the boys well behaved and follow their father's words diligently.

Before they left the restaurant. Bakugou makes sures that his boys thanks the older ladies and bows politely.

They coo before bidding goodbye.

Yuto and Haruki are so excited to get on.

This time round; Yuto was riding shotgun and Haruki was rear.

Not that they're going to complain. They're riding the bike with their dada.

People were quick to post abut Pro-Hero dad Bakugou biking around Tokyo everywhere which is going viral btw.

Everyone was waving to your children to which your children greets back politely.

They were occasional stops for diaper changes and some milk break. Water break for Bakugou.

By the time they get to the park, the twins are running around like crazy and he takes out all the packed snacks and juices.

Bakugou made sure to call you as well when they got their and showed the twins running around the park chasing the butterfly.

He suggest next time, you tag along too.

The twins really enjoyed this.

Around 2 in the afternoon, the twins are getting tired and it was time for them to start heading back.

Bakugou makes sure the twins are comfortable before they riding back home.

Whoever sits shot gun rest their little head on Bakugou's toned and muscles arm.

He occasionally glances on the mirror to check on the rear seat.

When he gets off, you come to greet him and ask him how their day was.

As you were helping him unbuckled the kids off their seats.

He said it was fucking awesome. He can't wait to do it again.

There it was, the day Bicycle dad Bakugou was born.

When he finds the chance to cycle, he will and the twins absolutely goes wild at the mention of it.

Even the word bike would get them to stop them watching those children's cartoons and whipped their head around so quickly.

Bike? Bike? Bike? Bike?

Even with the 5 minutes walks grocery store?

Bakugou is off with his bike and your boys are going fucking feral for it.

Did I mention that Bakugou inspired dad's all over Japan to start cycling with their kids?

Hey, love! I hope you are having a wonderful day! 💞 May I request HCs for Todoroki, Midoriya, Bakugou, and Kirishima w/ a S/O who protects them from a Cougar? -It’s popular for the boys to protect their S/O’s from Perverts. What happens if the contrary occurs-?

Of course! I’m sorry that I haven’t been posting lately, I’ve been sleeping a whole bunch to hopefully get caught up on my (supposed to be normal) sleep schedule! I’m sorry if this isn’t great 😅

S/O Protecting Their Boys from Creeps

Fluff 💖

Shoto Todoroki-

Whenever it came to dating Shoto, you were pretty easy going. You didn’t mind if friends of the same or opposite gender, or that he went to parties, but flirting was a big no no for you. Before you ask, here’s what happened.

You were Todoroki were on a mini date, nothing too big but it was something you both enjoyed. You two decided to stop by this little cafe to grab some coffee and tea for some much needed energy, this was one of the first breaks you’ve gotten in a while. So why not spend it with the love of your life? Whenever you got there, it was some kids, a man working on his computer, and an older woman up front ordering. You got in line with your boyfriend, him holding your hand while you wait. “Can I pay for his drink, the one who is behind me?” The older woman asks the young cafe bartender, “uh I’m not sure since-“ she gets cut off when the woman tells her to go ahead. Whenever she turned around, she looked Shoto up and down.

You immediately got angry, first off she’s old enough to be his mother, and second you can already tell she’s going to cause trouble. “You’re such a fine young man, say how old are you?” She asks Todoroki, lightly grabbing his shirt collar. You felt your face get red and immediately grabbed her hand so it wasn’t touching his shirt anymore. “What do you think-?” She begins, you quickly cut her off. “No, first off that’s creepy! You’re too old to be hitting on someone his age!” You say, furious. “Second, you have no respect and it’s obvious!” The woman stands there dumbfounded, she brings her hand down and away from you and Shoto. She grabbed her coffee and left, you took a deep, frustrated, breath, and looked at Shoto. His face was a slight shade of red, after getting your drinks you start to head off. Before doing so, he grabbed you in for a hug, feeling more protected than he has in a while.

Midoriya Izuku-

When it came to yours and Deku’s relationship, you were the one who would step in for him. You even stood up to Bakugou in middle school for him! Deku was always appreciative for it, he knew how much you loved him.

So whenever you seen anyone flirt with him, or talk to him and he gets uncomfortable, you automatically step in. ”(y/n), come on! We’ll be late!” Izuku says, pulling your hand. You both went out for lunch, you needed to get back before the lunch period ended, but you sat there finishing up an page in a book. “Hold on, let me get to a stopping place.” You say, not lifting your eyes from the book. You can hear him sigh and walk away near the counter, probably ordering another tea to take.

“Hi, one mango tea to take to go please! And make sure to add in the boba!” He says with a bright smile on his face, he was always so sweet, you loved him so much. “Of course honey.” The worker says, which caught your attention but you didn’t think much of it. Whenever he grabbed the drink, you hear him say “miss?” You look up to see him. “Are you sure you meant to put your number on here?” He asks, she laughs and nods. “You have to call me some time sweetie! You’re just too cute!” She says, you stood up, immediately forgetting about your place in the book. “I uh, I’m dating someone.” He says hesitantly, not knowing what to really say honestly. You walk over there, hugging him and looking at her. “Hi, sorry, I’m that someone. You just have the wrong person, come on Izuku.” You say, leading him out and him kind of shocked. You had to explain the whole situation to him when you two got back, “wait really?” He asks, you nod. He hugs you tightly, “thank you (y/n).”

Katsuki Bakugou-

Whenever it came down to it, you were just as protective, possibly even more, as Bakugou. You wanted to make sure nothing ever happened to him, and when something did you blamed yourself. Anytime someone gave him hugs, or even remotely try to flirt with him, you had a few choices of words that you used.

You both were downtown, around in the shopping center, dragging him around to shop for clothes. You were holding his hand, you never though he would be the kind of person to like PDA but whenever he came to you, he loved showing you off. “Oh! We can also look down the street, there is a wonderful ramen place!” You exclaim, you were so excited to get some free time with him. He gives a small smile, looking around at the ridiculously expensive clothes. A older woman comes up to you two, looking at Bakugou mainly. “Hey cutie, say have you ever thought about modeling?” She asks, you were confused. Who was she?

Bakugou shook his head no, starting to walk away. She grabbed his hand, trying to get him to stay in one spot. “Oi! When I said no-!” He starts, you stop him. “You know what? It’s fucking weird to hit on young guys!” You yell at her, everyone looking at the three of you. “You’re a grown ass lady! You’re old enough to be my mother or possibly even grandmother, when he said no, he meant no!” Everything was dead silent, you grab Katsuki’s and pull him away. Whenever you two made it back to the dorms, you were still silent. Mainly in shock since you didn’t realize you could do that. After a while, you hear Bakugou chuckle. You look at him confused, he says “Babe, you realize you were about to punch her right? I’ve never seen that out of you!” He laughs while saying that, you roll your eyes. Then it sets in, that you were ready to fight for him. You start laughing with him, you two spent the whole night talking about that.

Ejirou Kirishima-

Ejirou was usually more protective of you, but you did have your moments. Anytime you could tell he felt uncomfortable, you would automatically step in and try to make sure it was all okay. He never told you to stand up for him, but when you did, he appreciated it so much.

There you two were, on a date to the aquarium! It was pretty amazing about how Kiri got fascinated and focused on all of the different type of fish, plus you always had a interest in them too! Whenever you were walking around, holding onto your boyfriend’s hand, you hear him talking about how colorful a fish is. “Look at this one (y/n)!” He says, pointing to a brightly colored blue fish. You laugh and smile, leaning your head on his shoulder. There’s a woman that approaches him, not seeing you. “Aren’t they beautiful?” She asks, Kiri nods. “You know what else is just amazing?” Kiri looks at her, slightly confused. “You, you are just so handsome!” She exclaims, you raise your head up and look at her. “Uh, thank you?” He says slightly confused, “you know, I love when men work out! All those muscles.” She grazes over his arm, you could feel him trying to move his arm away from her.

You took a step back from him and looked at her, “you know it’s kind of creepy when you do that right?” You ask, catching the woman’s attention. “And honestly, especially when he’s still young, that’s even more creepy.” You say bluntly, with a glare that could kill. “Before I call security, I suggest you leave.” You say, pointing to a security guard, that was slowly walking over there. Her eyes got wide and walked away quickly, you turned to Kirishima, his eyes wide. “I- Woah, I didn’t know you could do that.” He says, looking into your eyes. Without saying anything, you grabbed him and hugged tightly. “I’m not letting anyone get you, especially that creep.”

I hope I did okay with this one! I wasn’t sure on what to do, so I gave it my best shot. Also, I will try to hey a schedule going soon! It’s been hectic here lately 😳

I hope you have a great day! :)

Waiting For Him

Hello! Welcome to another story that was floating around my head. This one is Bakugo x Reader and is about Bakugou missing the birth of his kid. All characters are 18+ in this fic. I didn't specify if reader was the one giving birth or, if it was an adoption, or a surrogate. Reader is neutral as usual, hope you all enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bakugou Katsuki x Reader

Bakugou misses the birth of your kid and your moms pissed.

Words: 1252

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“Ground Zero, sir, I hate to say this again but someone is at the office for you.” One of the hero’s sidekicks said again as they fought the pack of villains.

“What the fuck is up with your ears today? What do you want me to do? Let the villains get away, you damn idiot. Focus ‘cause you're getting sloppy and don't say shit about this person again.” The angry blonde shouted back. The sidekick listened regretfully, they couldn't get over the feeling that this was important.

The fight dragged on for an hour more, it wasn't that it was a hard battle. In truth the villains were laughably weak but they kept taking the hostages and using them as human shields. However, they were finally done, the villains in handcuffs on their way to court.

“Now, you damn irritation, what was it you were talking about?” Bakugou said as he downed a whole bottle of water.

“Someone is demanding to see you at the office, sir.” The sidekick rushed out.

“You thought it was a good idea to pull our focus from a fight for some damn pushy fan? Your on paper work tonight, i'll call kiri and sort things out. You go get started on that work if you want to get home on time.”

“Ugh, ok sir.” Bakugou resisted the urge to yell at the exaggerated sigh and pulled out his phone and dialed the red head. It didn't ring for long at all, Bakugou was shocked when a very panicked kiri picked up the phone.

“Man, why’d it take you so long to call!!” His friend shouted.

“Wha’ddyah want me to do, ask the damn villain to pause robbing the stores ‘cause I needed to make a call, shitty hair.” He roared back.

“No but maybe you could have dropped your pride and called for backup.” The redhead blew back at him.

“Had nothing to do with my pride, whatever tch, what is it?” He spoke somewhat softly to his friend.

“Your baby was just born!! You freaking missed it and Y/N’s mom is here mad as hell.” Kirishima said with his teeth gritted. The blonde went silent at that. Damn it he knew the due date was any day now but it just slipped his mind in the heat of the battle.

“Kiri could you um.. drive her to the hospital? I’ve got to go, like now.”

“Uh huh, you’d better hope y/n’s mom doesn’t kick your ass.” Kiri put in his last word before hanging up. Bakugou wasted no time hailing a cab and shouting the address at the poor driver. You were there alone for what you could say was the greatest moment of your lives. Bakugou didn’t promise much but he promised he would be there every step of the way but here he was missing the FIRST step.

“Um sir we arrived.”

“God finally, thank you.” The angry Pomeranian spoke as he rushed out the car and into the hospital.

“I’m here for Bakugou y/n they are probably in labor and delivery.” He rushed out.

“Yeah, we've been expecting you sir, just follow the fish on the wall down that hallway and then take the stairs on the left and that penthouse room is where you’ll find them.” The receptionist said clearly but Katsuki could swear she spoke gibberish cause as he followed the directions he was lost. Should he even go into the room. He let you down, a moment where you both needed and wanted him, he wasn’t there. What’s worse is he knew you weren’t angry. You were selfless and always made sure he knew that you understood the circumstances of his jobs. When he was late, when he couldn’t show, or when he came creeping in at 3 am. You never blew up or were pouty. This time would be no different, you would both carry on like he hadn't missed the birth of his kid and he would feel like he wasn’t enough. This feeling dragged on, even as he stood in front of the room. Hearing a baby’s cry, his baby’s cry, didn’t make the feeling any better either.

“SUKI! How long are you gonna stay out there! We’ve got a crying baby in here.” Your voice called to him. It still wasn't enough to spur him into action. He almost turned around when a hand grasp his shoulder from behind. He looked to see your mom smiling at him.

“They aren't mad, y’know. They were just patiently waiting on you with a smile. I ran off to get you cause I was pissed but that's beside the point. You’ve got a kid and the love of your life waiting for you, how long are you gonna stutter and make them wait.” She said as she opened the door to the room.

“Yeah Yeah, you nag, I was just...Thanks.” He muttered as he went to your side. You were sitting in a rocking chair with a small bundle, which was wailing uncontrollably.

“Suki, meet our son.” You said to the man who now had tears in his eyes.

“We've got a little baby boy…” He dropped to his knees just staring at the two of you.

“Yeah, I was thinking we name him Hiroyuki, it means lots of happiness. I don't know about you but I'm feeling ‘lots of happiness’ right now.” You said still rocking the crying baby.

“I was thinking more like king or Tatsuo, which means manly dragon but I am feeling a little happy right now, so Hiroyuki it is.” He said back, wiping his tears.

“Beautiful but can you guys please make him be quiet, I'm sure the whole floor doesn't want to hear his strong set of pipes.” Your mom said.

“I've tried everything mom. He isn't hungry, his diaper is clean, and he is getting attention. I'm not sure what's wrong.”

“Well your parents now, this is your first test, figure it out. I'm going to get a coffee.” She said waving to ya'll.

“Um give him to me…” Katsuki said quietly. You smiled and placed the wiggling bundle into his arms.

“Hey brat, stop causing trouble for us already. You're a bakugou, save your tears for when there's really something to cry about.” He spoke harshly yet gently to the boy. To no one's surprise the boy's tears slowly came to a stop. Then for the first time his eyes peered open and a small intoxicated looking smile graced his face.

“He’s got your dumb little smile.” You laughed at him, he didn't even say anything or glare your way. You stood up and went behind Katsuki just staring down at your little boy, who was now drifting to sleep.

“Were you waiting on daddy too, little Hiroyuki? We can wait together from now on so you don't have to cry.” You said hugging your husband.

“I promise not to make you wait too long.” He said to the boy who was clutching his finger.

“Not to interrupt this beautiful moment but me and Mina are definitely the god parents, right?! Oh and I brought little Hiro some stuff too!! I tried to not get too much stuff but I've got to be the best and most manly uncle!!” Kiri said a little too loudly, shocking Hiroyuki back awake. You and husband both deadpanned as the little baby’s loud cry filled the room once again,

“Sorry…” The redhead said rubbing the back of his head

OK I JUST WOKE UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND MY DREAM WAS REALLY WEIRD AND IT GAVE ME AN INSTANT GOOD KUSH AU—

Ok so— Mermaid and Pirate Au.

BUT—!

mermaids are the size of their fish genetic ×2.

If you're mixed with an angel fish you are the size of a human child when you become adult.

Sharks mixed genetics makes one the size of a average boat, bigger than humans.

Mermaids are mixed with fish genetics ×2 while sirens have simple but colorful tails only (and they're the size of a average human)

Ok now Imagine this—

Whale shark! Mer! Izuku x Pirate! Katsuki

Whale sharks are known to be the most largest sea creature in the ocean, imagine a mermaid twice that size LMAO.

Ok so whale sharks can be the size of a large koi fish when their babies so Izuku would look like an average baby mermaid, he sometimes get mistaken as a siren as a child. (Also a whale shark is very fitting for Izuku coz of— y'know, the dots on the whale sharks.)

Ok BACKSTORY—

Izuku likes to swim near boats as a kid.

Katsuki was born in the ocean, on the boat he was standing on coz both of his parents were pirates too (not mitsuki and masaru, I don't think they're good parents ngl.)

He also wants to be captain one day, leading the best ship and the best crew and all that jazz like his parents, like the legendary pirate who had crossed the 7 seas and lived, All Might.

He was kind of Isolated bcz they were always at sea but he was a pretty smart kid and his parent's crew were nice (ft. The whole UA staff coz why not—)

While Izuku's mom told him that he shouldn't ever go near a island coz Izuku's mom is really big and she could easily be spotted so they stayed in the deep waters. (Aka where the Illuminati thing kinda is, but we'll just call it the 7 seas mmk)

But Izuku is a very curious child, he follows is mother's rule ofc but she never told him to stay away from ships nearby.

So when he saw this really big ship, he was amazed by it. He followed the ship when they steered their sails for a few days, he's still close to his mama so it's ok.

Katsuki notices some kind of thing following their ship for the a while now, even as a child he's pretty sharp. So one night he decided to sneak out of his chambers to the edge of the boat to see if the thing is still there.

He looked down and saw a pair of green glowing eyes. He froze, he didn't what they were, they might be a siren from the books he had read but siren's eyes don't glow. And the creature hasn't even sung yet.

So he decided to approach it.

Izuku was surprised. He had seen this small blond human on the ship lot's of times during the day. He was small. Like him! He wondered if they would make good friends?

And when Katsuki finds out that Izuku was not a siren he was relieved,so when they started talking he was surprised of the amount of human words Izuku's knows (wonder who taught Izuku that—*cough* all might *cough*), but as much as Izuku's human speaking is pretty good it's not enough to make a conversation. So every night, Katsuki sneaks out and hangs with Izuku and taught him how to speak like a human and read human books.

4 weeks, nearing the end of the 7 seas after going around it (no one has ever gone through it without surviving, except all might)

Izuku had learned alot, he could read and speak human! Although not perfect but still can pass! But he's sad now coz he can't come with Katsuki, he had to stay close to his pod with his mom.

Katsuki was devastated when he heard this from his (one and only) fish crush friend, he promised that when he grows up, he'd be the best pirate of all time and he would be the next to cross the 7 seas without going around it and meet up with Deku (that was the closest thing Izuku could pronounce his name in human rather than mer tongue) and go on adventures with him.

Izuku, who cried, promise to stay in the 7 seas and wait for Kacchan (again, hard to pronounce words with Izuku's sharp teeth) to come back. So they pinky promised it and pulled each other close.

Nobody would believe a child when they say that they'd seen a mermaid every night while out in the 7 seas. No one would believe Katsuki when he'd say that he had his first kiss with a fish.

Ok so TIME SKIP.

Katsuki became a really well known pirate in all the ocean. He became the new captain on his parent's ship and improved it. He found a good trusting crew who were very skilled at what they do. (Ft. The whole class 1-A with Shinsou coz why not)

He'd found lot's of treasure and gave it to the poor people on islands. Fought a couple of high ranked bad villains of the sea. To the kingdom's rules around, he was a pirate. But to everyone, he was a hero.

So when the time came, he kind of forgotten his promise to Izuku and thought of those times with Izuku were very wistful dreams.

When his ship came close to the 7seas he decided to go through it like all might and to be the best. Ofc the crew was anxious but they trusted their captain.

But when they reached the one half of it, there were really big waves, everyone panicked. Trying to turn around. Katsuki held the steering wheel tight, trying to turn the ship around. Everyone was running around doing whatever they can to make the sails go to the opposite direction.

Then suddenly.

There was a huge spash.

And a very big shadow wad towering down ship.

Everyone slowly looked up and saw.

The most biggest person (?) They had ever seen.

It had dark-green hair with very round equally green eyes, lot's of freckles spreading on it's upper body, and it had a mouth with very sharp teeth.

A mouth that was smiling.

Like and Angel.

Katsuki became breathless.

The creature looked so familiar, just like—

"...Deku..?"

The creature laughed, eyes twinkled with excitement, it swam really fast to somewhere fast and flipped himself like a dolphin. the pirates looked at him in awe.

"Kacchan! Kacchan came back!" The creature swam back to it's original position near the ship and grabbed Katsuki by the back hem of his shirt, lifting him up the ship.

There were surprised and panicked sounds coming from the crew but Katsuki held his hands up, signaling to stop. Never looking away from Izuku.

Izuku placed Katsuki into one of his very large hands and held him up to his face. Katsuki reached out his arms and touched Izuku's nose.

"you... Fucking dumbass,... How did you get so big?!?" Katsuki exclaimed with pretend anger, not that it was convincing, his face had a smile threatening to break, he slapped Izuku's nose with not force.

Izuku giggled and kissed Katsuki all over his face. (Which. His lips are already all over Katsuki's face LMAO)

"I missed you Kacchan." Izuku smiled, "I love you."

Katsuki blushed and grumbled. Forcefully grabbing what he can on Izuku's cheeks and kissed him on the nose, muttering "I love you too..."

The crew from below the ship were confused, awe and low-key scared by this.

"Uh." Denki said dumbly.

Kirishima whistled "wow. Who knew Bakugro had a lover."

"Hah, a fish none the less too, no judgement though." Kyouka snorted.

"well I think they look cute together!" Ochako exclaimed.

"maybe this is why Bakugou wanted to cross the 7 seas? To see his one true love once again~." Sero said, while still looking at the huge ass fish carrying their captain.

"Uh." Kaminari said dumbly. Again.

Ok had another fucking moment that came to me when I was daydreaming this one time and another AU popped inside my head.

Ok so mermaid AU x Pirate, BUT—

Mermaids are the same size as their fish genetic.

A angel fish mermaid is about the size of an infant.

A shark mermaid is the size of a boat, depending what Kind of shark it is.

Ok now, imagine with me:

Pirate Katsuki x Whale Shark mermaid Izuku

Baby whale sharks are about the size of a big koy fish so Izuku is about the size of a infant.

Katsuki and Izuku met at the dock, Baby Katsuki likes to spend his time splashing his feet into the ocean, dreaming one day he could be the most awesome pirate of all time.

This is where he met Izuku.

See, Izuku is really small compared to Inko rn coz he's a baby, so he got washed by the unforgiving waves in the middle of the ocean into the dock where Katsuki was.

Katsuki saw a passed out mermaid floating ashore and immediately ran to where it was.

No one has ever seen a whale shark mermaid up close before because they live in really deep water and all that.

So Katsuki was fascinated by his tail bcz hello? It has DOTS! It looks pretty! And it HAS DOTS!!!!

(lmao like his freckles)

So when Izuku woke up, he panicked bcz he doesn't know where he is and there's a human that saw him so he cried.

Katsuki, confused by this, he asked why he was crying, they were both still too young to understand that humans and mermaids were supposed 'sworn enemies' (lmao) yet so Izuku told him that he was washed up into the waves and he Didn't know where his home is.

And hearing this, Katsuki asked if he knows which direction his home was, Izuku told him he was from the very very deep sea and that he didn't know where and he's scared to go alone.

And Katsuki, the brat that he is, decided to accompany the mermaid with a boat! Izuku was happy that Katsuki would come with him and bring him home!

Ofc next day, they meet up, (Katsuki snuck out lmao) and Katsuki has this tiny little boat that the other fishermen gave him from his birthday that he would use to come with Izuku.

So they set sail! Katsuki had forgotten to bring food so he was hungry, Izuku had an Idea!

He sometimes see these random circles that grows on trees near the beach and they would sometimes fall and float in the ocean, he also seen humans eat these kinds of things so he decided to look for it!

Katsuki ofc saw Izuku coming back with a coconut and he was delighted to eat it!

(Izuku eats fish lmao)

So it took 5 days for them to reach the center of the sea where everything is so deep. They got to know each other at that time!

Katsuki asked if this is where Izuku lives and Izuku heard a loud shout from below.

Low and behold, Inko rising to the surface where they both were, her eyes were puffy and when she saw Izuku, she immediately hugged her son.

Katsuki was amazed by how big Izuku's mom is, so that's why they lived in the middle of the ocean, they were really huge!!

Inko saw this little blonde human boy on a tiny boat and asked why was he here and Izuku exclaimed that he is Kacchan! (Coz he has sharp teeth and that's the closest he could pronounce his name) and that he helped Izuku crossed the ocean to find his home and that he was so brave and kind!

And Katsuki blushed at the compliments Deku gave him (that is ALSO the closest thing Katsuki can pronounce his name bcz of his human teeth too haha)

Inko was touch by this and thanked Katsuki profusely, giving him a little necklace with a tiny shell that could be use as a horn.

Inko told Katsuki that if he ever was in the middle of the ocean again or whatever, and wanted to meet them again, he just needs to blow the horn.

Katsuki was thrilled by this, he thanked Inko as well and promise to come back and meet Izuku again and Inko asked a bunch of other little mermaids to help Katsuki get back to where his home was in record time.

Izuku was a bit sad to see Kacchan go but he promised would come back! So he'll just have to wait till he hears the horn to know that Kacchan would be back!

Katsuki got back on land that afternoon (wow the tiny mermaids were really quick)

And he gotten back to his parents, he told them that he told them what happened had why he was gone for 5 days.

They were horrified by this bcz mermaids drown humans whenever they could and that Katsuki was with one for 5 days made them feel sick.

Katsuki was not allowed to go near the ocean from then on.

Ofc Katsuki threw a fit bcz how on earth is he gonna visit Deku?!?

Mitsuki screamed and slapped him on his head and told him that he would not go outside and see the ocean at all.

Cue sad 10 years of waiting (they were 4)

The time finally came where Katsuki snapped and sneaked out of the house once more and leave his parents for good.

He decided to go to another city to start his journey of becoming the most well known pirates of all time!

(cue another 4 years lmao)

He had became the most notorious pirate of all time, in the eyes of the government, he was a threat to them, but to the eyes of the people who had met his crew, they were heroes.

They give out money that they stole from corrupted kings and queens' ships all around the world. they had the most biggest ship called 'Queen Explosion Murder' (bcz why NOT LMAO) and that they had the most advance equipment in the sea (ft. Hatsumei lmao)

His crew (class 1-A minus mineta, plus Shinsou, Hatsumei bby Eri, bby Kouta and bby Katsuma and Mahoro) was the most powerful and skilled people he knew, they were like family to him. (Not that he'd admit it out loud)

He still kept the necklace, he had forgotten what purpose it had, but he know it was something special.

One day they were attacked by the Royal ship, it was the most intense battle they had yet. Most of his family crewmates were already injured and passed out, the kids were crying alot, they were loosing.

Then he suddenly blew the horn.

There was a loud spash from the side and both of their ships rocked.

One of the men from the other ships looked below and saw big glowing green eyes. Then the Royal ship was grabbed by very big hands and suddenly brought down into the depts of the sea. Sinking everyone in it.

Katsuki was shocked, what just happened???

Then there was another loud splash once again, something was rising from the water, it looks big, the creature was looming over the ship, he looked up to see the creature and saw—

"Deku...?"

It looked at Katsuki with big watering eyes.

"Kacchan.."

And the next thing he knew, he was being lifted by some big ass arms and being suffocated by a big ass hug.

(lmao they REUNITED!)

Izuku asked why did he called now and Katsuki told him about what had happened to him all this time. Katsuki's crew was hella shocked to see their captain talking to a big ass Mermaid. The kids were in awe, they never seen a real life mermaid before, and Izuku laughed coz their eyes reminded him of Katsuki's when they first met.

Katsuki blushed and denied it and Izuku responded playfully.

It was so weird to all of them to see their captain smiling? And joking around?? With a fish??? Like old friends???? Holy shit???

And after that, they had a new member! Izuku comes along with their adventures now! And the whole romance and drama for the crew to enjoy too!

(lmao the end(?), Hahaha, I'm so sorry if it has some wrong grammar, I'm kinda stayed up late hahahaha! Hope ya like this Au!)

This so fun! I love it 💞

#you have a fun brain 🧠💕

TITLE: Class 1-A Gets An Undead Radioactive New Student

✨ here’s a snippet from chapter 5: ✨

Kurage: It's safe for him to come out right, Strawberry-chan? Everything's okay at home and stuff?

Kirishima: Totally. The first time I went to his house, his mom and dad immediately assumed I was his boyfriend. We said we were bestfriends but his mom didn't believe it for a second and gave us a whole sex talk. HAHAHA. Bakugo was soooo pissed. Even now she believes we're together and treats me like a son-in-law.

Kurage: OMG! That is soooo freakin' adorable! Awww! So what is it that you're worried about, Chicken Katsu? Is it school or the hero world?

Bakugo: Both. I don't want people making assumptions about me or discriminating against me.

Kurage: That's valid. I feel that. But you know what? FUCK THEM! You're Katsuki muthafuckin' Bakugo and they can kiss our asses! You're way too talented and well known for them to pull some bullshit. Plus, the hero agency seems a lot different than other places, so generally you should be alright. Hell, we're all queer as fuck so what are they going to do? Even a lot of the teachers are queer. LMFAO.

Kirishima: Yeah, man. There's no shortage on the support end. Bakugo holds Kirishima's hand and kisses him in public for the first time. Whoa. Dude. What made you change your mind? Kurage, you're good.

Bakugo: The rotten fish clearly has some kind of mermaid tactic. I think it just comes with being a mermaid. Thanks, Sea Scum.

Kirishima: Whispers to Kurage. If we join forces, we can get this one under control. I want kids and I don't want him to have a heart attack or something so let's keep this up. He has soft spots for us because we think his shit is funny.

there are so many wholesome moments in my fic hehehe... 😭💪🏽✨ it’s a safe fic but it still has dark elements and hella smut is on the way.

if you’re like me and dealt (or deal) with parental abuse and bullying all your life i think you’ll like this fic because in this fic everything ends well and is resolved soon so you don’t suffer for too long. it’s basically what would happen if people actually cared about us. 💜

yes, i found a way to insert an undead mermaid into this fic 🧜🏽‍♀️ ☢️ 🧟‍♀️

One for all Ch 3, A BNHA future fanfic

Chapter 3: Kikyo Bakugo

"That kid...is a damn monster."

Kirishima frowned heavily to himself as he observed the unusually quiet figure of Bakugo sitting at his old desk. The last thing the redhead's friend had spoken to him left a very unnerving feeling deep inside himself, and it only continued to fester in him like a burning flame.

"For Bakugo's daughter, you sure are a quiet one, Kikyo-chan!"

Kirishima was brought back to realty at the sound of his wife Mina's voice who was with the rest of their class as they all greeted the girl known as Kikyo, Bakugo's newly introduced daughter. Said child hadn't even uttered a sound since her father had introduced her. From the moment her identity was revealed, the entire former class 1-A made it their mission to welcome the young one in an attempt to make her more comfortable and come out of the shell she'd been hiding in since she'd entered the classroom. However, not even Mina's bright and welcoming personality was enough to spark so much as a response from Kikyo.

"She's probably uncomfortable around all these strangers," Todoroki chimed in as he and Momo joined their group with their sons in tow, "Maybe we should let those her own age try instead."

At that, the Todoroki twins Rei and Hino walked up to the blond child, both with friendly smiles upon their faces.

"Hi! I'm Rei. What's your name?" Asked the white haired boy as he extended a hand towards Kikyo.

The young blond girl stared at the boys with emotionless crimson orbs before taking a quiet step away from both of them. Hino and Rei's faces both fell and they looked back to their parents in disappointment.

"Don't worry about it, boys. I'm sure she'll come around." Momo smiled and bent down as much as she could manage despite her pregnant body so she could also speak directly to Kikyo, "At any rate, it's wonderful to meet you, Kikyo-chan. We're all so happy to have you here."

Back over at his desk, Bakugo glanced at his child among his fellow heroes. Kikyo was looking away from everyone, almost as if she were ignoring everyone's voices as they were launched at her. Bakugo snorted to himself and turned his gaze away as if annoyed.

"...Hey man. Can we talk?"

Bakugo looked to the source of the voice that now stood beside him. Kirishima still held a very upset look on his face, only causing Katsuki's annoyance to increase.

"Tch." Bakugo clicked his tongue and turned his face away so he could avoid eye contact. Kirishima, unbothered by it, decided to take a seat in a chair next to the desk.

"Look, I'm not gonna leave you alone. I know this whole reunion really isn't your thing, and I'm sure a lot's happened- given all the time you just kinda disappeared from everyone. But..." Kirishima's voice trailed off into a disturbing silence as he thought carefully on how to continue.

Bakugo slightly turned his head back to the only classmate that he had ever been able to stand being around. The blond male could see small beads of sweat streaming down the redhead's face as he pondered to himself. Kirishima didn't need to say anything else. Bakugo already knew why Kirishima had come over.

"Look, I ain't gonna tell you every little goddamn thing that's happened over these last few months, so don't even ask me." Bakugo's voice, still as threatening as always, was barely even a whisper as started before Kirishima could find his own words. Katsuki leaned back in his chair and turned his eyes upward towards the ceiling, "...But I also know you ain't gonna go away until I tell you about Kikyo."

"Just tell me a couple things, dude." Kirishima started again, his face clouding over with anticipation as he moved his chair just a little closer towards Bakugo, "...Is she the reason you disappeared? Also, who's-"

"One fucking question at a time, dammit." Bakugo growled like a wolf before reaching into his jacket pocket for something. After digging around for a minute, he pulled out his wallet. The hot-tempered male then began digging around in that before whipping out a photograph. Without so much as a word, he tossed the photo on the desk Kirishima sat at.

Reluctantly, Eijiro leaned towards the photo slowly. His red eyes slowly widened as he took in what was on the picture.

"...That was how she looked, when she suddenly showed up at my doorstep a few months ago." Bakugo stated calmly, still refusing to look in his friend's direction.

In the photo appeared to be Kikyo. However, while her appearance now still looked quite ragged for a young child- her looks in the photo were far worst. She appeared to be laying in what looked like a hospital bed. The clothes covering her were torn, messy and stained with various colors of unknown origin. To add to it, the young child's hair was extremely long and flowed in all directions. But that wasn't even the most disturbing part. For some reason, what appeared to be test tubes were hooked up to various parts of Kikyo's body.

"...Where...was this taken?" Kirishima asked, picking up the photo to get a closer look at it.

"Even if I don't have a damn clue. To be perfectly straight with you..." Bakugo shot another glance at Kikyo across the room, "Even though she's my brat, I don't know hardly anything about her. Other than her quirk and the fact that wherever she was before she showed up at my place was a living fucking nightmare."

"Bakugo, I don't..." Kirishima shook his head, even more confused than before, "What the hell does this even mean?"

"Like I just said..." Bakugo's tone grew impatient as he reached out and snatched the photo back, "Long story short- a few months ago I was coming home after work. When I reached my apartment, there was this filthy looking brat literally on my doorstep...unconscious. Originally, I was just gonna call the cops but than she came to when I gave her a few shakes. And she handed me this shit, along with that photo I just showed you."

Again, Katsuki dug around in his pocket for something. He then showed what appeared to be a birth certificate of some kind. On it was Kikyo's name, her time of birth, and the name of her father...but no mother was listed. And it certainly wasn't any official document. Simply a data sheet with very little info about the child.

"What the hell even..." Kirishima looked up and down the page, desperately trying to make some sense out of what he was being told, "So she just...showed up one day and this is all you've got that tells you she's your kid? I mean, did someone dump her there or..."

"She won't tell me anything." Bakugo spoke, his eyes falling downward, "I've tried a million times to get her to tell me something about where she was before, who her mom is, and the whole rest of that shit...but she won't say anything. She just looks at me with those dead fish eyes of hers. All I could get her to tell me is she came to me because I was her dad and a hero."

"Let me get this straight- She randomly appeared on to you, unconscious and with a picture of herself and this poor excuse of a form of ID and that's all? Why didn't you...like, take her to child services or something?"

"Ever since she showed up, Kikyo's clung to me every single frickin' second of every day. Hell, I can't even leave the house to do my job anymore. No matter what I do, she sticks to me like glue." Bakugo rolled his eyes and clicked his tongue again.

Kirishima slowly nodded, his face more baffled than ever, "Okay...cute. But...agh, dammit! This doesn't make any damn sense!" Eijiro threw his arms in the air and scratched at his head furiously.

"You're telling me. Also, you noticed right? Those bruises on her arms and body."

Kirisihima stopped clawing at his scalp to recall back to when he spotted Kikyo scratching her arm and how it was covered in horrible looking marks. The rockhard quirk-user nodded at Bakugo.

"Those marks. Yeah, before you go and think I did something fucked up-"

Kirishima suddenly jumped from his seat, panic written on his face, "N-No way, man! I didn't think-" But Bakugo clamped a hand over his mouth, shutting him up.

"Listen, dammit! Her entire body's been fucked up like that since I got her. I took her to a doctor after a week of staying with me. According to him, those marks come from years of abuse and shit. I mean, no fucking shit, right. However, that ain't the main issue. Those bruises on her, they...didn't come from another person."

"What...do you mean?" Kirishima felt a lump form in his throat as he felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up.

Bakugo pursed his lips tightly together for what seemed like hours before he finally choked out what he'd been hiding, "...Her quirk. Every one of those marks on her is a result of her power."

Kirishima's pupils grew small in fright.

Bakugo lifted a hand and looked at his palm, as if envisioning something, "When the doc looked at her, he didn't just check out her injuries...he had her show her quirk. That's...part of how I know...she's my kid, all right."

"So her quirk is explosions, like yours?"

"Yeah...only, more..." Bakugo's blood red eyes peered back at Kikyo who was now rubbing at her arms again, "...powerful. Wild. Look, as much as I absolutely hate to compare it to this, it's the only example I got. Remember how Deku destroyed his body because All Might's quirk was too strong for him back in the day?"

Kirishima nodded.

"It's...something like that. Kikyo can't use her quirk and NOT badly fuck herself up in the process. Whenever she sets it off, it's like a bomb explodes from within her body and outward. And unlike with mine, it's power isn't as controlled. It's literally straight up like she uses her own body parts like the bomb. Her body basically destroys itself every time her quirk is used. The power her quirk outputs just is too damn much for her stupid tiny ass self to handle. However, that ain't even half of it. Being as young as Kikyo is, the doc thought it really unusual for her quirk to be so...damn powerful and developed as it is. So, after some tests, the hospital concluded a reason for that."

Kirishima let his gaze drift back over to Kikyo who was attempting to break free of the crowd, "...And what reason is that?"

Bakugo bit his lip tightly before finally answering, " The doc said...that there was probably some tampering done to her quirk when she was still an infant. She was probably put through some effed up quirk experiments or given quirk-enhancing drugs whenever she had been before. And a lot of it too. Until her body grows bigger, Kikyo literally can't use her quirk. Like I said, if she does, it'll just destroy her. The proof is written all over her. That's why I got her wearing those long clothes. It'll at least hide those ugly bruises."

"Wait, you said...quirk experiments? Come to think of it, that sounds familiar..." Kirishima thought back to recent villain activity that had been occurring in the city lately. After a moment, it hit him. Kirishima snapped his fingers in conclusion, "Wait, there was that incident last month where a few pro heroes found a gang holed up in an abandoned warehouse. They were arrested under suspect of a possession of drugs to improve one's quirk full potential. Is that connected to Kikyo then?"

"Fuck if I know. But I've been trying to dig up some stuff on whatever facility she was in before, but haven't found a damn thing yet. So anyways, that's the story."

"So when you called her a monster..."

"She's a damn monster to HERSELF, dumbass. With her quirk as whacked out as it is, she's a menace." Bakugo ran a hand over his face as if trying to wipe away the exhaustion her felt from explaining Kikyo.

Kirishima shook his head, taken utterly aback. To think a small child as young as Kikyo could have been subjected to such horrendous things. At first glance, Kikyo even reminded Kirishima a bit of Eri back during the Overhaul incident years ago.

"Thanks for telling me, Bakugo." The redhead started, trying to flash a smile at his best friend, "I won't spread this around, don't worry."

"Better fucking not. Especially not to Deku. I know that bastard's gonna show up at some point today. Man, he's the last punk I wanna see at this crappy thing, tch." Bakugo stood up suddenly and started towards the room's exit. Without warning, he pushed through the crowd of his former classmates. Kikyo almost immediately followed after her father as he walked out.

"Eh? Bakugo, where you going?" Mina shouted.

"Yeah, you just got here!" Sero chimed.

"SHUT UP! I gotta go to the bathroom." Was all the angry blond growled as he exited the room with Kikyo in tow.

"Wow...there are so many things surprising about this, I can't even." Mina noted, looking between Hagakure, Momo, and Tsuyu who all nodded in agreement.

Meanwhile, Kirishima still sat back at his desk, his hand placed over his mouth as he was lost deep in thought over the things Bakugo had just told him.

"...Why the hell you following me? If you gotta go too, go on your own." Bakugo could feel his right eye beginning to twitch out of annoyance as he listened to the sound of tiny footsteps echoing directly behind him.

"...I'm sorry." Was all Kikyo replied in yet another quiet tone.

"Tch..." Bakugo continued walking in silence until finally, they reached a bathroom. He looked over his shoulder at his daughter and pointed at the girl's bathroom, "Go in that one. You're fricking old enough that you should at least be able to go to the bathroom by yours-" Suddenly, Katsuki felt the words catch in his throat at the sight reflected in his blood-colored eyes.

Kikyo had one of her long sleeves rolled up, revealing battered, purple and blue skin. She used her other hand to rub her arm up and down as if she had an incurable itch. The little girl's expression was empty as could be but the beads of sweat that were formed on her face indicted she was feeling some discomfort.

Bakugo held his silence for a moment before he slowly shut his mouth. The man slowly turned his eyes away from his daughter, his face becoming completed hidden to her. After yet another minute, Bakugo swallowed and parted his lips,

"...On second thought, just...follow me all right. Don't you dare give me shit or you'll know what black and blue really looks like, ya get me?"

Kikyo stopped rubbing her arm and nodded rapidly before what almost seemed like excitingly following her father as they entered the restroom together.

Once in, it was decided Kikyo would go first, while Bakugo waited (in the event she needed any help).

"Just hurry up, dammit. I ain't got all day, brat."

"Yes, Pa-"

"NOPE! Don't you fucking dare, kid. You remember what I said about not calling me Dad, Papa or any of that nasty shit, right?"

Kikyo nodded inside the stall as she peered at her father between the gaps of the stall door, "...Yes, sir."

Bakugo rolled his eyes.

After a few minutes, the sound of a flushing toilet echoed the bathroom soon followed by the opening of the stall door.

"...All done." Kikyo mumbled in a tiny voice as she waddled up to Bakugo and grabbed part of his jacket.

Bakugo responded by pulling away from her and walking into the next stall, "Dammit, wash you filthy hands before you touch shit, kid. Learn some manners, for fuck's sake."

"Ok." She mumbled as she went to do as she was told.

Bakugo sat in the stall silently, also peering at his daughter's back through the gaps. He thought back to the things he told Kirishima about her, and also the pitiful look he noticed his friend wear as he had listened about Kikyo.

"...Hey." Bakugo's threatening voice echoed a bit too loud throughout the small bathroom.

Kikyo jumped a little in surprise but turned in the direction the voice came from, "Yes?"

"...You...uh..." Bakugo felt a feeling of unbearable irritation creeping up on him as he tried to talk to Kikyo. This happened literally anytime he tried to deal with her, and it disgusted Katsuki to no end. Still, he ignored it this time and pressed on, "...Your, uh, bruises and shit. They...hurt like a bitch, yeah?"

Kikyo rubbed her other arm and glanced at the marks scattered all over her skin, "...No."

"Don't lie to me, brat."

"I'm sorry..."

"For fuck's sake..." Bakugo scratched his head rapidly before sighing heavily, "Look, if it hurts than say something! Maybe the nurse's office has some crap that they can put on your arms or..."

"No, I'm really fine." Kikyo shook her head and held two clenched fists against her chest. Just as Bakugo was about to yell out again, the next thing his daughter spoke out was enough to immediately quiet him, "It doesn't hurt when I'm near you, Papa-I mean, Ba...Bakugo-san."

Though no one could see it at that moment, for the first time in his life, a curious expression had painted itself on the hot-temped male's face. A hint of red was dusted just on the edges of Bakugo's cheeks as he took in what was said. After a moment, however, the man's expression returned to the normal gruff one before he snarled in response,

"...Dumb kid."

Somewhere else, a few miles away from U.A. was what appeared to be an abandoned building located in the back alleys of the city. A common place for villains to gather and trade information.

"This is the only information I could get on her, sir. My apologies." Spoke a man as he handed a photograph over to a taller male standing in front of him.

The second man took the photo in hand. The corners of his lips curled upward in a disturbing manner as he looked at the little girl in the photo. Her hair was a dirty blond and her eyes were bloody red. Two traits that were all too familiar to the man now holding the image.

"Well, isn't that interesting. Looks like the rumors were true. All Might would be absolutely in tears if he could see this now." The man tucked the photo into his jacket pocket. "Well, I guess of Todoroki can have a child by this point, so can Kacchan. Time certaintly changes things, now doesn't it." He let out a chuckle than ran his gloved fingers through his curly dark green hair.

"U-um, sir. If I could ask a question..." Asked the first man as he watched his boss turn and start away from him.

The boss responded in a kind tone, "Of course. What is it?"

"We, uh...We're really gonna do it? Attack U.A.?" The lackey's voice was filled with anxiety as he feared angering his boss with his question.

The boss stopped walking and looked over his shoulder so he could flash a twisted smile, "Why, yes. That is the plan. And today's the only day we can do it. Do you know why, Rijin-san?"

The man named Rijin swallowed hard and nervously shook his head.

The boss turned back around and ran his thumb across one of his freckled cheek, wiping what seemed like red paint off his skin. As he looked down at the red droplet now on the back of his thumb, his smile widened and his eyes glimmered, "...Because today is a much anticipated reunion for some of the best students to have ever attended the pro-hero academy known as U.A.. Some of the best top pro heroes will be in attendance; such as Icy-Blaze, Dark Shadow...even Ground Zero." Upon mention of the last name, the twinkle in the speaking male's eyes seemed to intensify for a moment.

"Y-Yes, but...isn't that exactly why this mission is too dangerous to-"

"It is exactly BECAUSE those heroes will be there, that we must attack today." The boss turned around and began walking towards Rijin. In response, Rijin began backing away in fear until his back hit a wall. The boss's steps echoed on the concrete below him in a spine-chilling sound. With each footstep, Rijin's heart skipped every other beat.

"U.A. had dealt with plenty of villain attacks in the past, and each one ended in failure. However, this time...it will be different." The boss now stood a mere few inches away from Rijin who had sunk down onto the ground in paralyzed terror.

"I-I...h-how will it...be different, s-sir...?" Rijin managed to ask.

Suddenly, a street light that hung overhead of the two men sparked on, revealing the smiling face of the boss peering down at his underling.

"...How...you ask?"

Teeth clenched in utter delight as the boss grinned from ear to ear.

"Because I...am here."

Author's comments: Well, it certainly took long enough to update this and for those who actually liked my crappy writing from the last 2 chapters, I'm soooo sorry D:

But better late than never. Actually, thanks to some very nice reviews I recently got from last chapter, I suddenly got inspiration to finish this chapter so THANK YOU.

I'm so sorry if this one is...all over the place or confusing. I tried to throw out a little info about Kikyo but I know it's probably really confusing. I always get really good ideas for characters in my head but when I try to put them into proper words, it comes out a hot mess lol I will be going into more detail about Kikyo and her past later though. For now, please bare with me .

Please leave a review and let me know what you guys thought! Next chapter may feature some others that haven't rly popped up yet, such as Kaminari or someone. I'll figure it out once I get there.

Fragments: Chapter 2

Chapter 1

Pairing: Midoriya Izuku/Todoroki Shouto

Summary: Izuku then remembered that it was a day just like this when the young prince, Todoroki came months ago, the man with a broken heart but still gave him smiles that offered nothing but an effervescent sweetness but with eyes that held hurt beyond comprehension. And Izuku thinks, “I want to fix him”

In a world where people wear their hearts on golden chains, a young prince with a broken heart befriends a heartsmith who promises to help fix his heart.

[Nepenthe (Greek) - (n.) something that can make you forget grief or suffering]

The next day, Todoroki decided to return to the workshop the next day to check on his heart. He was still unsure about leaving his precious heart with a person who’s essentially a complete stranger.

“Hello?” he said as he cautiously entered the shop.

The room was bathed in warm candlelight, a contrast to yesterday’s lively sunlight, as the day’s weather was dark and promised rainfall.

Behind the desk, Midoriya, wearing an odd pair of goggles that were too big for him, was concentrating on placing a piece of metal on a small heart. My heart probably, Todoroki noted. Eri was sitting beside Midoriya, handing him tools when he asked. Both Midoriya and Eri looked up when they heard Todoroki’s voice.

“Oh, g-good morning, T-Todoroki!” Midoriya pushed up his goggles to his forehead.

“How may we help you, Mr. Todoroki?” Eri asked as Todoroki approached their desk. He placed his satchel on the table.

“I just wanted to check on my heart. I also brought you guys some food that my sister made.”

He rummaged through his bag and fished out two boxes.

“Oh, Todoroki, you didn’t need to!” Midoriya said, “I-It’s really all fine, but I should have probably told you that before you left the last time, and now I’ve bothered you. I’m really sorry! You really didn’t have to go out of your way to ask your sister—eh? Wait, your sister? Oh no! I bothered your sister too! And, wow, I really have to apologize now! And—”

“Midoriya.” Todoroki said, halting Izuku’s ramble, “It’s really fine, I insist.” said Todoroki as he handed Midoriya and Eri a box each, takes a box for himself and sits in a stool by the desk.

Izuku hesitates and eyes the two boxes before sighing, “If you’re sure then.”

“It’s katsudon!” Eri exclaimed, eyes lighting up and bright laughter escaping her lips in excitement as they opened the boxes. “Katsudon is Deku’s favourite.”

Todoroki glanced at Midoriya “It must have been a lucky coincidence that I brought this.”

Midoriya grinned then turned to Eri “Could you get us some spoons and forks in the kitchen?”

“Sure!” Eri walked towards a door that lead to the kitchen.

Todoroki leaned forward. “So, how are things going?”

Midoriya showed him the heart he was working on. His hunch was right for that heart was his. “You see those cracks all over your heart? You know that it’s an indication that the heart is broken. But only trained heartsmiths can identify how deep these cracks go. Yours are quite deep, I’m afraid.”

Todoroki sighed, “I’m honestly not that surprised. My heart has been broken ever since I was a child.”

Midoriya glances at Todoroki then hums to himself, “I hope you don’t mind me intruding but why do you want your heart fixed all of a sudden?”

“You must’ve heard about the wedding. Father made sure that the engagement was as public as possible.”

“Oh, yes. I do remember. It was the talk of the town for a whole month.”

“The thing is, I want to get married with a whole, healthy heart.”

Midoriya smiles softly “That’s very kind of you, Todoroki. Your fiancé must be lucky to have someone who loves her that way.”

Suddenly, Todoroki’s expression became unreadable. “Yeah.”

“Midoriya, can I ask,” Todoroki says as he cuts a piece of pork. “How are you and Eri related?”

“Oh, we’re not relatives if that’s what you’re thinking. The thing is, Eri came from a small neighbouring village. A few years ago, it got attacked by a group of rebels.”

“I think I remember this.” Todoroki said, “It was our kingdom’s army who captured the rebels afterwards.”

“Yes, but they caused so much damage that the whole village caught fire. Eri was able to survive but, unfortunately, her parents and everyone else in the village didn’t make it. She escaped that night and ran here, to our kingdom. I saw her in the marketplace begging for food and I just couldn’t leave her like that so I took her in to live with me.”

“That’s very kind of you.”

Eri then entered the room, “I got the utensils!” She chirps happily and gave them utensils. Midoriya took them and gently ruffled Eri’s hair. “Thanks, Eri.”

“Deku, wait,” said Eri giggling “You’re messing my hair.”

Midoriya proceeded to ruffle her hair faster, ignoring her protests.

Todoroki found himself smiling at the two. Whatever doubts he had before were gone. He could trust this man with his heart.

They were interrupted by a loud crash of thunder. “I really should get going before the weather worsens.” Todoroki says as he packs up his things and walks to the door, Midoriya and Eri trailing behind him.

Midoriya held the door as Todoroki fixes his cape “Thanks for stopping by, Todoroki.”

“Thanks for the food, Mr. Todoroki!” Eri says. Todoroki waved at them and faced the dark marketplace, people rushing to find shelter from the oncoming storm.

Todoroki wasn’t able to visit Midoriya’s workshop for a few days because of the storm. His time was filled with the usual royal duties and wedding planning. When he finally got some time for himself, he quickly filled his satchel with sweets from the kitchen, grabbed his cape, and headed to the marketplace.

As Todoroki was about to open the workshop’s door, he heard a loud bang from inside followed by Midoriya’s voice. “Aah! I’m sorry, Kacchan! I didn’t know that—”

“Stupid Deku!” Todoroki heard another person shout “You knew that would fucking happen! Fucking die!”

Todoroki swiftly opened the door, fully intent on showing his wrath to whoever talked to Midoriya that way. Instead of a fight, he sees Eri and a brunette girl laughing, a man with dark blue hair standing with a shocked expression, and Midoriya holding a charred metal stick in one hand and an angry looking blond beside him.

“Hi, Todoroki.” Midoriya said sheepishly “Don’t mind the burnt smell please.”

Todoroki blinks at the sight, unsure of how to react to everything, “Is everything alright in here? I heard shouting.”

Izuku let out a laugh while the blonde glared at the smaller boy, “Don’t worry, that’s normal around here!”

Todoroki heard the brunette gasp. “Holy shit, Deku.” the blond said, “You weren’t lying.”

The blue haired man went up to Todoroki and bowed lowly “It’s a pleasure to meet you, your highness. I am extremely honoured to be in your presence.”

The brunette girl also stood to bow. The blond just looked annoyed.

“It’s alright. Please stand.” Todoroki said, “And just call me Todoroki.”

Midoriya walked towards Todoroki “So, um, these are my friends. They help me with the shop sometimes.”

The blue haired man shook Todoroki’s hand “My name’s Iida Tenya and I work in my family’s mechanical shop and I assist Midoriya by supplying his materials.”

The brunette popped up behind him. “I’m Uraraka Ochako! I’m a witch in training. I help Deku with the potions part of heart-making and repair, which he totally sucks at.”

She laughed at Midoriya’s indignant cry of “Ochako!”

Midoriya pointed to the blond man. “And that’s Bakugou Katsuki. He’s a blacksmith and helps me with metal forming.”

“I can introduce myself, Izuku.” Bakugou snarled as he approached Todoroki. “I don’t care if you’re a prince so if you make Deku cry, I’m gonna go to that fancy palace of yours to beat your ass.”

“Kacchan! What are you talking about?” Midoriya looks flustered, thought Todoroki. “I’m so sorry about him. He’s just being a brat. The shouting being a normal thing here? Yeah, it’s because of this guy! He’s too awkward to properly communicate his feelings he just shouts everything and converts all his emotions into anger.” the said brat started spewing profanities but Midoriya barely even paid him a glance.

“You’ll get used to it.” Midoriya added.

Todoroki blinks once more before shrugging it off, “No worries.” Todoroki brought out his stash of sweets. “Would you guys like some candy? I originally got them for Eri but I got more than I intended.”

Eri and the others gratefully took pieces of candy.

“Thanks so much, Mr. Todoroki!” said Eri

Uraraka looked at her sweets with wide eyes “These are expensive.”

“Which is why we should be grateful for the prince’s generosity.” Iida exclaimed, swinging his arms around to prove his point.

Even Bakugou reluctantly took a piece.

“While these guys are busy,” Midoriya said to Todoroki “I want to tell you something.”

He lead Todoroki towards the desk and showed him his heart. “Remember I told you that your heart was kind of challenging to figure out?” Todoroki nodded “Well,” Midoriya continued “I examined your heart closer and it seems that the damage is really deep. I’ve never encountered anything like this. And I just wanted to tell you that I wouldn’t be able to guarantee you anything.”

Todoroki’s face twists into something much like heartbreak. His usually deadpanned face breaks and his lips turn down and his eyes turns so so sad and Midoriya’s breath stops. He wants to reach out to the other man, wants to tell him he was kidding, but he would be lying. Midoriya then feels his heart hum in his burst of emotion and he brings a hand to his chest. He looks at Todoroki’s face once more and he decides, he’d do everything he could. Everything and anything.

“Don’t worry, though!” Midoriya said, hands waving frantically, “I’ll find a way to fix it! It’s just going to take longer than other hearts, if that’s alright, but I promise I’ll do everything I can!”

“Are you sure you it won’t be too much of an inconvenience?”

Midoriya feels his heart hum once more in his chest and he puts a smile on his face, “Yeah! I’m sure! All I ask is that you give me some time, is that alright? I swear I’ll make it in time for your wedding! I’ll make sure your fiance will get to see you with your heart whole!”

Todoroki’s eyes widen in surprise, and then he gives a small smile to Midoriya, “Thank you.” He says and Midoriya flushes at the small smile.

“I-It’s nothing really! I’m just doing my job! Now, let’s get back to the others before Kacchan breaks or explodes something!”

Todoroki found himself spending more of his free time in Midoriya’s workshop. Usually, Midoriya’s friends show up and they talk and laugh and make Todoroki’s day brighter. These people are the closest Todoroki ever considered as friends. Even Bakugou seemed to warm up to him. Some days, Todoroki brings books to read to little Eri and cherishes her bright smile. But most of the time, he’s with Midoriya, accompanying him as he fixes hearts.

The prince, however, was bewildered every time he’s in close proximity with the heartsmith. He can’t help but mentally note on how warm it feels when he’s near Midoriya, or how his lips subconsciously form a small smile every time the other boy mutters his thoughts out loud.

Each day, Midoriya informs him of all updates on the repair of his heart. The heartsmith lets the prince watch the repair process in curious silence. His hands are so gentle, the prince mentally notes. Midoriya pauses from tinkering with a contraption and looks at Todoroki with a kind smile. For the first time after a long while, Todoroki thinks, everything will be alright.

I AM THE WORST KIND OF PERSON @ktdkvalentines @fif-sold-her-soul HI! I was your Valentine’s for the fic exchange and life took a hold of me and didn’t let me go for a while! I am so sorry for the late posting but HERE YOU GO! I really hope you enjoy it since you seemed to like angst turning to fluff!

Izuku Midoriya couldn’t sleep.

When someone told him that he would be developing a mild case of insomnia at sixteen years old he wouldn’t have believed them. Well, maybe he would have but only because he was acutely aware of his own anxieties. And with the current classes he was missing, his brain was keeping him awake wondering what the hell his classmates were learning. So now here he was, pressing the ‘Lounge’ button on the elevator as he looked up at the bright fluorescent lights. A shiver run up his spine as his back touched the cold metal wall, waking him up even more. This whole week had taken a toll on him. The newly relieved stress from the provisional exam as well as developing stress of what is to come, he just wanted a good night sleep for a change.Izuku Midoriya couldn’t sleep.

Izuku Midoriya couldn’t sleep.

The metal doors slid open as he made his way to the kitchen. Iida should have bought some milk and since they were friends he was sure to understand why Izuku needed a glass of it desperately. Besides, it was a lovely night and the windows were big enough to provide him a view of the UA campus. What better way to contemplate his future than to stare at the place that would shape him to be the new Symbol of Hope!

Wasn’t he getting introspective with himself all of a sudden.

He hummed a small tune as he approached the fridge, taking out the milk and pouring himself a cup before putting it in the microwave. This was…strangely domestic. It was late in the night and here he was excited to have a brief moment to himself while taking in the scenery. His hand brushed against something in the counter as the beep of the microwave echoed across the commonplace.

A half empty bottle of sriracha. Only one person used this.

“Kacchan needs to put his stuff away…” he mumbled as he opened the fridge to place it inside only to have his hand grabbed out of nowhere. His first instinct was to activate full cowl but a hand covered his mouth as he smelled the familiar scent of nitroglycerin.

“Do you just touch people’s stuff without permission now?”

Green eyes met red as he was let go. What? When? How did Katsuki get here so fast?!

“H-How—“

“I was already here, your dumbass just didn’t notice.” he pointed at the row of tables and Izuku could barely make out a bowl on top of one of them. Eating so late, was he also having trouble sleeping? Maybe he was also worried about the stuff he was missing in class? The thought made him smile as he pondered on the true nature of his childhood friend. Acting like such a tough kid but being smarter than most people in their class. Yet that was Kacchan, a paradox.

“Oh. Uhm.” Izuku grabbed his milk and looked around. So much for wanting to indulge in the scenery, “I am…I’m gonna get goin—”

“You can’t sleep?”

Was this the beginning of small talk? Was he about to have an actual conversation with Bakugou Katsuki?

“Yeah...”

The blonde stared at him for a moment before clicking his tongue.

“I guess we are both stuck in the same shitty boat.”

Izuku took a sip of his drink as he agreed. Well he could forget about sleeping. Having a conversation with his ex-bully was not what he was expecting at twelve o’clock in the morning. His feet didn’t want to move since a part of him was curious to see if the other was going to keep their chit chat going. To his surprise, Katsuki grabbed his bowl and placed it on the counter, moving to sit on top of it and continuing to eat. Red eyes glared at Izuku while he tried to drink his milk in peace. Should he start talking?

“So why can’t you slee—“

“Why the fuck did you keep that All Might secret from me, huh?”

This wasn’t his night at all.

“I didn’t want to keep it from you! I was not supposed to not tell anyone! You are the one who started asking me about it!” call it his lack of sleep but he didn’t want to answer these type of questions so late, “And why do you care? Last time I checked you don’t really care about what happens to me!”

The sharp sound of ceramic hitting marble made his heart stop. Too far, he went way too far. Unless he wanted to get the shit beat out of him he needed to run away now.

“...I’ll finish this in my room. Night Ka-“

“When did you get so fucking cocky?”

Arms stretched out as they trapped Izuku to the counter, making him jump and turn in surprise as he was face to face with that familiar angry look.

Katsuki wouldn’t stop staring at him as if he was the one who knew why there were both awake. Izuku just wanted to sleep, was that so hard to get in your highschool years? His mouth opened and closed showing off his best imitation of a fish before the blonde spoke up again.

“Just what the fuck is so good about you?”

The clouds outside parted for a moment, letting the moonlight stream inside the building as he was able to make out Katsuki’s face. A faint trail of tears as well as some fresh ones forming near the corner of red eyes captured his attention as darkness enveloped the room once again. Worry settled in his stomach as he realized why the other was here so late.

Since the common room was on the first floor nobody would hear someone crying.

“Kacchan…”

“It pisses me off, you know. The fact that just because you have your fucking quirk you think you are hot shit. First All Might, then the provisional exam, since when did you get so much better than me, you shitty nerd!” he rubbed some tears from his eyes before planting them back on the counter. “WHEN DID YOU GET SO MUCH BETTER THAN ME?”

Their eyes met again as Izuku kept silent. Another wrong move. His shirt was bunched up in Katsuki’s fist as he was brought closer.

“ANSWER ME.”

Izuku had a dream about this once. Their roles were reversed at the moment but the theme felt the same. He would ask him just when did Katsuki get so far away from him? Was it when he noticed that he was friends with a loser? Is that what it took to ruin their whole friendship? He would make a whole speech about how much he missed him and how he wishes that he had been born with a Quirk so that he could still proudly stand and call himself a friend of Bakugou Katsuki. The dream would end with Katsuki about to reply only for Izuku to find himself wiping tears from his eyes as he got ready to start another morning. Not in a hundred years would he think that Katsuki would start this type of conversation. He never thought himself better than him! Izuku wanted to BE like him, wanted to stand on the same ground he walked on and face him as a worthy rival! Katsuki was all Izuku had aimed for and now that he was on the right path to stand on the same platform as him...why did it feel that he was getting farther away?

He wanted to say that and so much more but the only thing that he could mutter was an apology for, well, existing.

The hold on his shirt got tighter before it was removed completely.

“...whatever.”

A shiver ran up Izuku’s spine as he felt the air get colder. That was another thing he remembered from back then, Katsuki used to to always be so warm.

“Do you remember those hiking trips we took when we were little?”

Katsuki’s hand stilled as he was about to pick up his bowl, resuming the action once Izuku realized what had just come out of his mouth. What was wrong with him! To bring up the past all of a sudden as if Katsuki would even remember those times!

“...We got lost once.”

Izuku blinks. Yes. Yes they did get lost once! How could he forget!

“You told me that you had found a monster in a cave and that you needed to use me as bait in order to lure it out.”

His heart skipped a beat as Katsuki chuckled. That was new.

“Kacchan bragged about knowing that place like the back of his hand but we ended up getting lost.”

“Only because your whiny ass kept running away!”

They both looked at each other for a moment before quietly laughing at the memory. It was funny how much they both remembered from back then.

“It started getting dark.” Izuku started up again, “I was super scared because I thought that maybe the monster would come out at night and eat us. But then you told me that you had made all of that up because you wanted to scare me.”

Katsuki continued for him, “You started crying about how mean I was and how you couldn’t believe I got us lost.”

“Only for you to beat me upside the head and tell me to shut up.”

The memory was so clear. Izuku had cried harder after that and was hoping that maybe All-Might would come and save them. An animal had hopped into one of the bushes which only made him cry harder and Katsuki yell louder. At that point Izuku was sure the whole forest could hear him until something muffled his cried. Small arsm had wrapped around him as he got a whiff of Katsuki’s usual scent, something he couldn’t really decipher but always reminded him of the blonde.

“Stop crying. They’ll find us soon.”

Izuku sniffed as he felt some tears start to prickle at his eyes. Katsuki had hugged him back then, comforted him. He had no reason to cry, it was a happy memory after all, but one tear soon turned into two as he let out a shaky breathe.

“I...I don’t want to be better than you, Kacchan.”

He wasn’t able to decipher the face Katsuki was making at the moment. It looked like confusion mixed with...something he couldn’t quite pinpoint. He wasn’t getting beat up and Katsuki wasn’t walking out on him so maybe he was doing something right.

“I thought that we could stand together now, like rivals...” another shaky breathe, “I know it has been long but I miss hanging out with you. Miss doing all the stuff we used to do when we were little.”

Izuku should stop. He should just stop talking and leave so that he wouldn’t embarrass himself any further. He hadn’t cried in front of Katsuki in such a long time but since the other had shown him a bit if vulnerability...why shouldn’t he do the same? He took one step forward, his gaze not breaking as he got closer and closer. He hadn’t slept well in a while so he had nothing to lose from doing this.

Arms wrapped around Katsuki’s neck as Izuku felt the bowl being put down. His face was tucked into the other’s neck as his body shivered against the comforting warmth.

“I really miss you, Kacchan.”

The first thing he felt was a slight pull and his hands immediately loosened their hold. He’d gone too far, made Katsuki uncomfortable and had taken a couple various steps back into trying to mend his relationship with his childhood friend. What kept him in place, however, was the hand that pushed against his back, pressing him back against the other’s chest. It wasn’t exactly a hug on Katsuki’s part but if this is the closest that he could get to the blonde without him pulling away then he was going to make this moment count.

His eyes were closed, he was pressed against Katsuki’s chest and the world couldn’t give him a warmer moment in this cold night.

“...tell this to anyone and I will make sure they don’t find your body.”

What a typical way to break the silence. Izuku chuckled as he pulled back and rubbed at his eyes, feeling some other tears start to sprout up but willing them back down.

“If my body goes missing I am sure that you will be the first person on the suspect’s list.”

Another chuckle that made Izuku’s heart do a leap. Maybe it was because he hadn’t heard Katsuki laugh in a while.

“I think we should head back to bed, Kacchan.We have training early tomor--”

“Are you still cold?” Katsuki asked before pointing up, “I have extra blankets in my room if you want some.”

Scratch what he said before, this night was probably one of the best nights of his life

Izuku nodded happily as he grabbed his glass of milk, “Do you still have that giant fluffy one you had as a kid? I loved that one.”

“I do but in your fucking dreams are you taking it, that stays in my bed.” Katsuki said as he pressed the button for the elevator.

“...Well then maybe I should just sleep with you tonight…” freckled cheeks reddened with embarrassment at what he had just said. The mood felt weird and he just didn’t know what to say anymore!

The elevator dinged and the doors opened, the only source of light in the vast empty common room.

Katsuki grabbed onto Izuku’s arm and pulled him in, the other barely catching the small smile on his face as he pressed him against the elevator wall.

“Maybe you should.”

i'll bite, what's your opinion on BAKUGOU KATSUKI

BITCH IM READY 2 GOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

FIRST OF ALL……,,,,, SWEATEAL,

THATS MY SON! I WOULD D I E FOR HIM.

secondly, he is an extremely complex character & I beg all Bakugou haters to read what I’m about to write. I don’t think anyone needs to love him or kiss his ass by any means, let alone excuse his behavior towards Izuku. BUT! I beg of you to have some empathy for a fucking 15-year-old boy that has been through hell & back, is clearly emotionally stunted, obviously grew up in an emotionally manipulative, verbally abusive, and very likely, physically abusive household.

As someone who was raised in a household like that, and as someone who was both the bully & bullied growing up, I just need you to understand how complex he is & that he is worthy of redemption!!! (after all, he is a child, he should be granted the opportunity to grow & learn from his mistakes. I don’t think people should give up on him just yet, lord knows where I would be if the people in my life had given up on me at 15).

Deadass though…. let’s get into his fucking problems™ first because I am the last person on earth to act like he is perfect.

#1 problem - extreme anger issues

It’s made clear from the start of the series that Bakugou expresses himself best through anger and violence, something he obviously learned from his mother. Horikoshi, in fact, has SAID that him & Mitsuki are essentially the same person. So can we all just take a fucking moment & imagine Bakugou as a parent…. imagine someone with that type of irrational & immature anger parenting a child. How tf do you think that kid is going to turn out? How does a kid being raised by a verbally abusive parent grow up?

Well!!! Luckily, this series provides us with two very good examples,

a) bakugou katsuki

while on the opposite end of the spectrum is

b) todoroki shouto.

Everyone deals with abuse in different ways, especially different types of abuse. While Bakugou is dealing with abuse by taking his anger & projecting it out, therefore reflecting his abuser, Todoroki internalizes all of his emotions & is extremely distant and at times submissive for fear of punishment.

Bakugou wards off his weakness/being punished by his mother for being weak, by expressing brute strength through his anger & aggressiveness, thinking of things such as friends and feelings (other than anger) as weak. Todoroki hides his weaknesses from Endeavor by closing off his emotions from him completely, so much so that he is emotionally/socially stunted.

In short

Bakugou’s emotionally stuntedness = lifetime of anger being his only coping mechanism/outlet & a huge failure on his parent’s part to foster any other sort of emotions

todoroki’s emotionally stuntedness = lifetime of repressing all of his emotions from his father coupled with a lack of social interaction from peers

In both of their households….

losing = weakness

being #2 = weakness

emotional vulnerability = weakness

all of these weaknesses = punishable by verbal & physical means

The reasons why people respond the way they do to abuse is very varied. My best guess for why Bakugou responds the way he does leads me to problem #2

#2 problem - His Huge Ass Ego/Superiority Complex

Bakugou is…. a perfectionist. Much like Momo & Iida (he is behind only them in terms of class rank) meaning not only is he a huge physical threat, but also incredibly smart & a very hard worker in all aspects of his schooling. He takes his future as a hero very very seriously, just as serious as Midoriya or Todoroki. He very clearly feels a lot of pressure from his parents & other adults in his life to do well & succeed due to the flashiness of his quirk. Even at four when his quirk manifested all people could talk about was how cool it was & how lucky he was to have it, therefore gassing him up & already inflating his 4-year-old head.

All of the adults around him expected him to grow up and make something great of himself at only age 4, so he has quite literally been feeling that pressure for his entire life, at least as long as he can remember, which created this giant ego of his.

(ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT ADULTS & PEERS ONLY GIVING A FUCK ABOUT BAKUGOU QUITE LITERALLY FOR HIS BODY. LIKE…. GENUINELY ONLY FINDING HIM WORTHY OF BEING A HERO BECAUSE OF HIS QUIRK BEING “COOL”. BECAUSE IF THAT DONT FUCK WITH YOU GROWING UP, WHAT DOES???)

Now his ego, in terms of how he responds to things, is why he most likely does not recognize what he is going through as abuse. And we all know that from ego, stems immense pride, and Bakugou would be far too proud to admit he was being abused IF he recognized his abuse, therefore he would not seek help for it, or vent / open up to anyone about it. But his ego is also part of the reason why he doesn’t recognize what he is going through as abuse. Admitting, even to himself, that he is abused would seem weak to him. He would have to admit he is not perfect, nor is his home life. He would have to admit that it has affected him, and he would most likely view that as a flaw or defect in his personality. He would never want to be viewed as a victim. (hint hint, how did he handle being called the “victim” of the sludge monster incident? He doesn’t want anyone pitying him or trying to save him from anything. He wants to handle things on his own & thinks of it was weakness to seek out help)

He also uses his superiority complex as a defense mechanism. For example, he overhears Todoroki talking about Endeavor with Midoriya the day of the sports festival right? And he later tells Todoroki that he doesn’t care about his home life and that he should still give it his all against him. This is because Bakugou probably realizes subconsciously that he too has been through some shit with his parents (not necessarily recognizing it as abuse, but not what all other kids go through) & yet he gives it his all. He almost says this as if to prove to himself that he hasn’t let what he has gone through affect him. He thinks it has made him stronger & that he will beat Todoroki despite his hardships, therefore proving him to be superior. When Todoroki decides to not use his flames at the last second it sends Bakugou into a rage because he believes Todoroki finds him unworthy of his full power. He thinks Todoroki is looking down on him, seeing him as weak, and just embarrassed him in front of thousands of people. (This is, by the way, the second time we see Bakugou lose it over the prospect of him not being better than his classmates).

The FIRST time we see it is when he and Midoriya fight one another on opposing teams for All might’s Class. He believes himself to be better than all of his peers & he is absolutely CRUSHED when he discovers that perhaps that isn’t so. After Midoriya fights him and wins, his spirit is broken. We see him retreat to the back of the class & silently watch as the other teams face off.

His world is actively falling apart around him. For so long he was a big fish in a little pond. He was popular, he was powerful, he was looked up to and admired by adults and peers for his strength. He was talked up so high & told he was so special that for him to be anything other than the best was unthinkable. And yet, here was his childhood rival beating him in a test of strength and wits in front of their mentor and idol. And immediately following him was the son of the #2 hero showing his own display of brute strength & passing All Might’s test without batting an eye through the sheer power of his quirk

Bakugou is so incredibly saddened and shocked by the experience that he gives up, which is something he has never done in his entire life. Midoriya has to walk out after him once the test is over and ask him why he’s leaving, at which point Bakugou confesses, with tears in his eyes, crying, showing weakness in front of Deku, that he cannot keep up. That for once he is below someone and he cannot handle the feeling of failure that accompanies him not being number one.

He gets over this, being motivated by both Midoriya & All Might to continue. But nonetheless, this is the first instance we see of Bakugou showing genuine fear & hopelessness for his future because he realizes he is not as great as he thinks he is. For him, there is no greater fear for him to face than for him to acknowledge the fact he is not perfect. He is flawed, there are things for him to learn and people he must learn them from and experiences he must go through before he can be number one, and that reality terrifies him. He sees it as nothing but endless opportunities for him to fail. So he determinedly puts on a brave face and screams at Midoriya and All Might that he will be number one no matter what it takes, that he will rise above everyone, even if it kills him. (Which of course it damn near does considering he is fucking kidnapped by villains impressed with his strength/power)

NOW ON TO THE ABUSE PART OF ALL THIS BECAUSE HOLY FUCK I CANT BELIEVE PEOPLE ARE GENUINELY OUT THERE SAYING THIS AINT ABUSE & WRITING WHOLE ASS ESSAYS TO DISPROVE MITSUKI AS AN ABUSER ONLY SO THEY CAN WRITE HIM OFF AS A ONE DIMENSIONAL CHARACTER/ASSHOLE TROPE

Abuse is not only physical, and to dismiss emotional/mental abuse as not “real” abuse or merely “tough love” makes you an abuse apologist, sorry not sorry.

The feeling I get from the few interactions we’ve had with Mitsuki, and the times Bakugou has mentioned his home life, is that the abuse he faces is overwhelmingly mental/emotional. He does, however, suffer some physical abuse too, which is essentially confirmed in this new chapter, it’s just unlike the abuse Todoroki suffers from.

Todoroki’s abuse is blatant, its beatings, starvation, intense physical regimes, etc. The abuse Bakugou suffers is far more subtle and sadly enough, far more common. The abuse he is subjected too is what most of y’alls parents probably just call “good parenting” or parenting the old fashioned way, aka when most peoples parents were shit & everyone thought it was cool to beat their kids into submission & scream at them for hours and hours over simple things. (Sadly, a product of hypermasculinity and misogyny being the overarching influences in parenting tactics, especially in households with a male head. In this case, however, Mitsuki, a woman, is the abuser. So most of y’all tryna ignore it like women can’t be abusive, or violent how men can).

Her physical abuse most likely differs drastically from Endeavors as well. Parents who genuinely believe themselves to not be abusive, but just tough on their kids because they love them or whatever, rarely hit their kids as openly as Endeavor hits Todoroki. We see her slap him on the back of the head, which in another situation & with more context, could be taken as playful, not abusive. But again, all depending on the force of the hit, the intent behind it, how often these sorts of things, occur, and if Bakugou is comfortable with it. How he responds indicates that he does not like it. Therefore she is laying her hands on him in a violent manner, obviously without consent.

A parent or not, “disciplining” your child or not, that is wrong. And I’m more than positive it happens frequently and in different ways after the new chapter. She is most likely a believer in spanking, which do NOT even get me started on that (my parents literally used to tell me I was fucking lucky to get beat with a belt and not an electric cord), spanking is abuse and I don’t wanna fucking hear it isn’t. You shouldn’t feel the need to beat your kids in any way shape or form to get them to listen to you. She also probably digs her nails into his arm or some shit when he says something she doesn’t like in public, or just generally is rough with him when she disagrees.

Mentally/emotionally she does not come off as the type to apologize to a child, admit she is wrong to a child, or have a rational conversation with her child rather than beating them. Again, since when has Bakugou himself ever done those things? (and according to Horikoshi, we all know he is a carbon copy of her before entering yuuei).

Gaslighting is when the abuser places blame on a victim by making them question themselves or attributing the situation to some imaginary fault of the victim. In this instance Mitsuki blames Bakugou for his own kidnapping, calling on his supposed weakness as the source of the problem.

She not only BLAMES Bakugou for his kidnapping, calling him weak and pathetic, but does so in front of his teachers, his idols, degrading him in front of the very people he wants to impress. And for someone like Bakugou, that is probably one of the biggest hits his ego can take and it is most likely killing him inside from shame and embarrassment.

In fact, I KNOW it is because we later see him TELL Midoriya that he blames himself for All Might’s fall. He thinks he was too weak to handle the villains and so he had to be saved (something he hates having to admit) which lead to All Might’s battle with All for One and eventual retirement as a hero. He literally takes his mothers words and internalizes them to the point of breaking & then expresses them the only way he knows how: violence, by fighting Midoriya.

So not only do we have concrete evidence of emotionally abusing him by calling him names intended to hurt him, but also of her mentally abusing him by placing the blame on him, causing him to question himself & his capabilities/role in the situation. She makes him genuinely believe that he should have been able to do something about the traumatic experience of being kidnapped by a group of known murders…. uuuuuhhhh does that scream totally normal parent to you? She is not even remotely concerned for his safety…. only how it looks, only with how weak he is. Does that um, cough cough endeavor cough, remind you of anyone? No? Okay.

Which back to Bakugou and Todoroki, this new chapter killed me because Todoroki is a sweetheart and he really knows what he went through was fucked up. I can see him trying to get Bakugou to understand in the future that violence is not the way to get what you want in life, no matter how small the act, hurting someone, emotionally, mentally, or physically is not how you get people to do what you want or agree with you. Even though that’s all Bakugou has ever known, he just never recognized it as morally wrong the way Todoroki did, most likely because it was much more subtle & normalized in Bakugou’s household.

That all being said…. Bakugou has made many mistakes and I’m not kidding when I say he is a carbon copy of Mitsuki. I don’t want to go so far as to call what he does to Midoriya abuse because that implies a fundamental misunderstanding of his character in my opinion, but like…. bottom line… he abuses & bullies Midoriya severely.

Bakugou is a classic case of an abuse victim turning into an abuser. However, he is a child, unlike Mitsuki. He was raised by someone who taught him that abuse is okay and normal. He has not yet matured or been able to view life through any other lenses. His parents have failed in teaching him healthy coping mechanisms, other adult influences in his life, such as previous teachers, have never discouraged his behavior either, therefore he merely copies what he knows. So I understand him not knowing any other ways to deal with someone like Midoriya, his antithesis, and rival.

In sociology this semester we learned about a famous poem by Dr. Dorothy Law Nolte, a family counselor & writer. The poem focuses on the ways in which children develop due to what circumstances they are raised under. It goes like this:

(Lines bolded reminded me most of Bakugou, lines italicized reminded me most of Izuku, lines with both… reminded me of both)

If children live with criticism, They learn to condemn.

If children live with hostility, They learn to fight.

If children live with ridicule, They learn to be shy.

If children live with shame, They learn to feel guilty.

If children live with encouragement, They learn confidence.

If children live with tolerance, They learn to be patient.

If children live with praise, They learn to appreciate.

If children live with acceptance, They learn to love.

If children live with approval, They learn to like themselves.

(Full poem)

I kid you not in the middle of class all I could think of was Bakugou and Midoriya and how this poem so beautifully contrasted and compared them.

Midoriya is the exact opposite of Bakugou. Where Bakugou is strong, powerful, fierce, influential, popular, admired, confident, loud & aggressive. Midoriya is weak, small, quirkless, quiet, timid, mumbling & stuttering, friendless, self-conscious, and not very vocal. They are completely different in all aspects, Midoriya represents everything Bakugou strives to not be. He is useless, weak in Bakugou’s eyes. Something he has been told his whole life to not be, and thus he does not want to associate with Midoriya.

However, the thing that scares Bakugou most about Midoriya is how much they can relate. They were, after all, friends. Best friends as children, they had the same dreams and shared common interests. Their similarities are only on display even more so as they both get into yuuei and progress throughout the year.

One of the most important moments in Bakugou’s life is when Midoriya reaches out to Bakugou after he falls. Midoriya the small, shy, quirkless kid, asks if Bakugou, the great, powerful, destined to be a hero kid, needs his help. As if that is something he would even want, let alone need.

I’m sorry but no 5 year old is going to get an idea like that on his own, you can see where Mitsuki’s thinking has already taken root, whereas Inko’s teachings have taken root in Midoriya. Up until this point in time, Bakugou was content with just allowing Midoriya to tag along with him, be a follower, quirkless or not. But this instance Bakugou clearly saw as a challenge for leadership, a questioning of authority. At five years old, he is already so distrusting of the sincere intentions of those surrounding him that he makes it his mission to let Midoriya know that he is above him and will not be surpassed by someone so weak.

It just makes me so fucking sad to see how twisted Bakugou’s logic is due to Mitsuki & the constant almost coddling of his ego that adults in his life have encouraged endlessly. It really isn’t until he meets Aizawa that an adult makes an effort to change that mindset in him. And slowly but surely, along with the help of Bakugou’s probably first real genuine friends that he views as equals and not just tagalongs, he is beginning to change his thinking & learn from his mistakes. Kirishima, Sero, Kaminari, and Ashido are all a wonderful influence on him and I genuinely think with their advice & trust he will be able to change his ways in the future, along with the guidance of All Might and Aizawa.

And let’s not forget Midoriya, he needs to apologize to him, sincerely, and because he wants to, not because he is pressured into it by anyone. I have high hopes for him and his future relationship with Midoriya, but I don’t think it’ll be possible for them to be best friends again. I just hope Bakugou can realize that he was wrong for treating Midoriya the way he did when they were growing up and can put aside his ego for five minutes to correct his wrongs as best he can. I’m sure it will be in the far far future though because he still has a lot of growing and learning to do. No one is going to just be able to put aside an almost decade-long hatred for someone & admit they were in the wrong, over the course of a year. But still… I have hopes.

All in all, I really really love Bakugou. I have some extremely parental feelings towards him having seen all the shit he has gone through & the many failings he has endured from the adults surrounding him. I just want for him to embrace his friends and place at yuuei and change his behaviors so that he can be easier on himself & others. He deserves to feel that sort of peace.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again. Bakugou Katsuki is deserving of love, friends, second chances, and a shot at redemption.

Slavonic Studies 6: Ramen Studies

Warning: Explicit

Read on AO3

“How do verbs even work,” groaned Yuuri under his breath. He was so sure that this was the third time he was reading Eugene Onegin and trying to understand it. This was the furthest thing from elementary for God’s sake. Sure, nineteenth Century Russian Literature was considered gold and everything, yes, he was sure that the era was absolutely wonderful but what in fuck did this have to do with him wanting to be an interpreter and translator (okay, it did have a lot to do with him being either of those but that’s beside the point, let him sulk in peace, thank you).

There were at least seven different books spread in front of him that should have helped him understand the working of these damned verbs but, of course, they helped him understand absolutely nothing.

For heaven’s sake, he’d spent more than three months here. You’d think he’d be somewhat closer to understanding how this shit worked.

He groaned loudly and buried his head in his arms, glancing at his phone. It was almost closing time for the library.

I should probably head back if I still have any hopes getting dinner.

“Ugh, just ten minutes. Come on, I can cram something in,” he thought out loud, dragging one of his textbooks back to him.

“No can do, kid. I’m closing up and practically starving,” came a voice from his side, a hand slamming down on the table. An irritated hiss could be heard from the next table, where only the frown of a girl was visible behind another teetering pile of textbooks, eyes tired like she hadn’t left the library in days.

“Shit that was loud, sorry. Really though, are you planning on wrapping up anytime soon?” Minako whispered, as she flexed her wrist to get the sting out.

“Doesn’t look like it,” groaned Yuuri (he’s been doing an awful lot of groaning these days), leaning back and throwing a hand over his face, trying to shield his eyes from the pendant light.

“I could help, you know? I’m kind of rusty but not that bad,” offered Minako, sliding into the single seat opposite him.

“Really?” Yuuri perked up immediately, beaming.

“Yeah, but I don’t see why you can’t ask Viktor himself. He’s absolutely lovely and quiet helpful,” Minako questioned, cocking her head a little to the side.

Yuuri’s face flushed immediately and he hid his face back in his arms. How was he supposed to explain that every time he went to ask Mr. Nikiforov something, he started flirting with Yuuri almost immediately? It really didn’t help that he was a ridiculously good-looking man and very easy on the eyes, with his pretty silver hair and piercing blue eyes, so Yuuri was almost always distracted by something or the other, be it his smooth words or his perfect smile or his long fingers.

He wanted him to whisper things into his ears in that low voice.

He wanted to kiss that bewitching smile.

He wanted those fingers to- NOPE WE ARE GOING TO STOP RIGHT THERE, YUURI KATSUKI.

And this was precisely why Yuuri was always distracted and confused. Distracted by Mr. Nikiforov’s beauty and confused by his flirting. Really not the best combination to have when you’re taking said Professor’s class.

What made it worse was that his flirting wasn’t even in the least bit subtle. No, it was so blatant and outright that you’d have to be an idiot to not pick it up when it was directed straight at you, especially if more than 80% of his “playful” flirting with his students was directed at you.

Minako seemed to pick up on Yuuri’s embarrassment (that wouldn’t even be hard, considering that he could feel how hot and red his ears had gone) and smirked, groaning even as she did so, “Is he flirting with you?” Yuuri raised the side of his head a little to look at her out of one eye, his glasses going wonky and blocking his vision. Minako began to laugh, almost hysterically before she was tutted at again by the same girl.

“He’ll never improve, will he?”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“What that means is that you should probably just and take his help instead of my rusty ass trying to teach you some European language that I can only remember like, four words of.”

“Didn’t you just tell me you’re not that bad it?”

“Hey, it doesn’t hurt to exaggerate a little and maybe relearn something while helping someone else. Alright now, kid, time’s up, get the fuck out of my library.”

“Aren’t you maybe, not supposed to swear.”

“It’s past closing time, kid, I’ll do whatever the fuck I want.”

Yuuri could practically feel the girl at the next table glaring daggers into his and Minako’s souls. He quickly gathered his books up, carrying a heavy textbook to check out as he followed Minako to the front desk.

He watched the girl check the books out before him, sending him one last glare as she left the library, as though he’d personally offended her entire ancestral line by even being there. Minako chuckled from behind her computer, checking Yuuri’s book out and telling her to wait a little as she finished her final run through of the place.

Yuuri walked out into the cold, watching the larger lights in the library shut off one by one, throwing a soft glow from the smaller lamps onto the landscape. He was about to bid Minako goodbye and stop by some decent pizza place that was hopefully open at this time, when she strolled out of the exit, keys clinking as she twirled the key ring around her fingers.

“Care to join me for some ramen?” she asked, rooting around in her bag for something.

Yuuri lit up almost immediately, dreadfully missing a piping hot bowl of ramen but not having been able to find a decent place that sold any good ones near university. Minako glanced up at him, her tiny little frown at whatever she was searching for melting into something soft as she regarded his bright eyes. “My treat, alright?”, she said, letting out a small sound as she finally managed to fish her car keys out.

Before Yuuri could protest, she continued, “You’re a student. Best save that cash money for some textbooks or tuition. Plus, you’ve been with me far too often now for me to not take you out. Almost shameful, really.”

She walked quickly towards the parking lot, letting Yuuri trot along after her, lugging his bag along, now heavy with yet another textbook just to try and understand fucking Alexander Pushkin.

Okay maybe not fucking Pushkin in its literal sense wait what kind of surname is Pushkin even hell it’s a whole ass euphemism what the fuck what’s the betting that at least one person used it against him as a pickup line wait doesn’t his middle name have Gay in it too what was it what was it Sir Gay something wait was he even gay wait that isn’t ri-

“-UURI!” Minako’s sharp voice cut through his thoughts and he almost landed on his ass in the snow, slipping as caught himself right before he rammed into the side of Minako’s car.

“I was just asking you if you’ve had proper ramen since you’ve come here, where’s your head at?” questioned Minako, her voice laced with a little bit of concern, watching as Yuuri fumbled with his bag while he strode towards the passenger seat.

“No, I’ve just been living off instant ramen. Couldn’t find any,” replied Yuuri, finally managing to seat himself in the car without any further problems.

Minako grinned, revving her engine up as she told him about her favourite ramen place near university. It didn’t seem to be too far, idle chatter filling any silence as the car radio blared out some pop music.

Yuuri’s tired eyes had just begun to droop when Minako pulled up in front of a small shop, its warm yellow light spilling out onto the footpath, a welcome aura drawing Yuuri towards it almost immediately.

Minako had already stalled the engine and had a hand on the restaurant door as Yuuri stepped out, letting the enticing aroma that cascaded out of the door overwhelm his senses. He breathed a deep sigh and followed Minako in.

Yuuri let a little sound of surprise out at the interiors of the place. Done in a style as close to authentic as possible, this felt more like home to Yuuri than anything he could imagine in these past few months. Minako let him bask in it all as she guided him towards one of the low tables, sitting on the tatami floor before him and calling a server over to place their orders.

Once they were done and a bottle of sake was placed on their table, Minako resumed conversing with him, talking even as Yuuri’s mind wandered, still soaking up the comforting atmosphere of the place and settling in, his concerns over verbs and men with gay as their middle names and pretty men with blue eyes disappearing slowly as his mind floated back home, Minako’s careful hands making sure he drink too much sake as they waited for their order.

The server was quick to arrive with their orders, a bowl of miso ramen and another of shoyu ramen being placed on their table just as Yuuri’s stomach had begun growling. The heady smell of broth and spices swamped his senses, his mouth watering instantly as he quickly grabbed at his chopsticks.

“Oh, Minako-sensei! Is that you, Yuuri? Hello!” a familiar, cheerful voice cut through his thoughts, ripping him from his ramen-induced haze. He quickly looked up at Minako, who had her eyes trained somewhere behind him, her face slowly splitting into a wide smile as she waved back at whoever it was behind him.

Nonononononononononononono-

“Am I interrupting something, perchance?” Yuuri felt more than heard that statement as it was stage-whispered near his ear, the accented voice far too recognizable and causing the tips of his ears to go bright red as he whipped his head to find Viktor already drawn away and settling himself onto a cushion.

“Couldn’t wait for an invitation before sitting your ass down, huh?” teased Minako, waving over the server to bring another glass to the table.

“Why bother with my favourite librarian?” drawled Viktor, turning to the waiter to place his order as well. Having done so, he looked back at them, pushing the glass towards Yuuri. “Mind pouring one out, Mr. Katsuki?” he said, in the same flirtatious drawl, a dangerous smirk creeping up on his face as he regarded Yuuri.

Yeah, fuck, he was going to need more sake for this.

My Hero Academia, season 2 - Episode 19

So all that E3 hype is starting to build up. Are you excited? I’m getting excited. Anyways, it’s My Hero Academia, episode 19! Here we GO!

-Opening!

-PREVIOUSLY ON My Hero Academia, Deku’s team managed to crawl their way into fourth place through backing each other up.

-Episode 19: The Boy Born with Everything

-And PRESENTLY ON My Hero Academia, it’s the lunch break and Shoto’s pulled Deku aside. Deku’s instincts are screaming at him to get out of this situation, but Shoto’s, just, standing there, staring him down…

-Then he finally talks. Mentions how Deku forced him to actually use fire. Something instinctive, from seeing All Might’s raw power, feeling how it’s a near-impossible challenge…And then seeing that same kind of power in Deku’s tiny frame…Deku, are you…

-Some secret child of All Might?

-Dead silence.

-You could hear a pin drop.

-I mean, at the same time, just going off of the data Shoto has, it does sound like a not entirely unreasonable possibility. Someone like All Might, who’s a big symbol, would have reason to keep a relationship secret, especially one that led to a child. Deku just kind of pops up out of nowhere with zero history of displaying a Quirk, shows a barely-controlled super strength, gets in on rescue points alone, and immediately has All Might’s attention. Take that data together, and “secret son who had to keep his power under wraps and never got to learn how to properly use it” sounds very reasonable.

-I mean, it’s utter bullshit, but I can see the path from A to B. Anyways Deku denies it outright and Shoto puts together that there’s something else Deku can’t talk about. So instead, he reveals his thing: Son of Endeavor the second-ranked hero, gotta be the best like no one ever was, to beat All Might is his real test, to take down Deku is his cause, you know the beats to this one.

-Meanwhile All Might’s inviting Endeavor to tea. Important bits to pull from this: They haven’t interacted in 10 years. Endeavor actively refuses to have tea and clearly fucking hates All Might. And his son is a thing he made to beat All Might. …Which s super fucked up.

-Back with the kids. Yeah Shoto describes his father as getting up the ranks through sheer overwhelming force, beating criminals the fuck up and cranking numbers. Losing in the rankings to a guy who mostly got there through symbolic efforts, thus, pisses him off to no end, which is why Shoto was made. An arranged marriage based on Quirks alone. A loveless marriage. A son born of obligation, raised as a tool.

-Shoto’s cold fury, ferocious will, utter refusal to use his fire? They all come from one thing. A raw, brutal need to step out of that shadow…Every memory he has of his mother, she’s in tears. Right up until the point where she gave him that burn, when she poured boiling water onto his face.

-That’s why, no fire. That’s why he picked a fight with Deku. Why he intends to rise to the top. To take everything his father wanted, and do it without using a single thing that piece of shit ‘gave’ him, to make damn sure he doesn’t get a single iota of pride from it!

-And the whole thing is being heard by Katsuki, by the way.

-Deku’s retrospective narration. All of this, it’s the first time he ever really heard of a world like that. The twisted, broken nature of the upper echelons. For him, a boy born to minor-Quirk parents who found each other out of love alone and whose only glory and pride is in the idea of having a loving family with a happy son, it was…A shock. A brutal one. A terrifying one.

-But back into the moment. Shoto’s done. He’s going to win, and he’s going to do it with ice alone. That’s all you need to know. Deku’s left locked down, no idea what to say…Until he admits, he never got anywhere on his own. He’s always had support. Icons to look up to. Friends to have his back. A family that loves him. Comrades…To finish the mission.

-So…Know this. He’s not here to prove anyone wrong. He’s not here for the prestige or the glory. He’s here for one thing. To give back to all of them. To lift up the world that put him on its shoulders. To be a symbol, capable of protecting everyone. It might sound small. It might sound petty. But losing here, would mean letting every last one of those precious people down. He’s not backing down, Shoto. Not even for a second!

-And yeah, I had to go deep in on that. That was a huge character moment for all involved. Seeing the pieces of Shoto’s fucked up backstory, which we’re going to be talking about later make no mistake, and of course Deku’s spirit starting to really have some fire on it. Up until now, we’ve almost solely seen Deku only rise up when the chips were down, his back to the wall, and heroic instinct overtook anxiety-driven conscious thought. But right here, this is a huge step. This is him not just openly admitting his goals and dreams, but standing by them, against someone who arguably deserve them more…Though that’s its own whole kettle of fish I’m not sure we want to go into.

-The point is, that was a huge moment. And hell, that’s without even looking at Katsuki, who silently listened to the whole thing. What that’s done for him, getting a deeper look into both of these guys against his own superiority complex, I’m quite frankly going to need to wait and see before I can have any thoughts on it, because I can think of at least three major routes that could have for his own development.

-Right, back to the show. Lunch break is over, and anyone who didn’t make it into the finals has various more recreational games they can use to show their stuff and still get some glory. Oh, and we have real American cheerleaders! America has apparently become Hyrule judging by how intensely pointy those noses are.

-…Also the girls of Class A have been shoved into cheerleader outfits. They’re…Really not happy about this. Oh, and this is all because of the perverse tricks of Kaminari and the human trash ball. He used Momo’s dutiful nature against them all…Though invisible girl is still excited. I think she just likes the idea of getting attention.

-Anyways the finals are an old school FIGHTING TOURNAMENT! Classic one-on-one duels! The finals are always a one-on-one, though the exact sport always changes…

-Which is when, out of the top 16, the tail boy suddenly withdraws. Because he’s getting hugely bad vibes. The cavalry battle was a total blank, guys. Something got into his head…And he doesn’t even know what he did in the field…On his own pride, he, he can’t go into the finals, not without even knowing he got there on his own merits…

-One of his teammates, a kid from Class B, withdraws for the same reason. Which leaves Midnight to have to decide whether to accept it or what to do…And not only does she does it, she looks to the fifth place team to try and find a new duo to take their place and keep the ranks full.

-But the fifth place team got there mostly by just being unnoticed. So they make a universal agreement that it should go to Tetsutetsu’s team, the iron guy, because they held in almost to the end before getting knocked to zero. And then it’s the random bracket draw, with all kinds of fun battles promised.

-While Deku…His first fight is against Shinso. The purple-haired guy. The one who had the withdrawn pair on his team…And tail-guy immediately pulls Deku away from the guy. Whatever you do, don’t talk to him, don’t engage with him. Just, fight, and finish it fast.

-But before the actual tournament, we’ve got the recreational games! It’s classic stuff like scavenger hunts. giant ball rolls, all kinds of classic stuff. Everyone in the actual tournament does different stuff to try and focus, relax, or otherwise be ready…

-Until the stage is assembled in the center of the field, and everyone’s got to be ready…When Deku’s waiting in the entryway, and No Might comes up to him. Deku, Deku’s nervous as hell, freaking out, feeling like he can barely control One For All still…Which is why you just say you’re going to give it your all and win! It’s when you’re most nervous that you’ve got to stand the proudest and put on a strong image! That’s how you be a symbol, kid. Now get out there and kick some ass!

-With Recovery Girl on standby, they can go all out…But Shinso immediately stares Deku down, trying to get a response out of Deku…And almost immediately, Deku gets caught up when the guy pisses all over the two who withdrew, and that’s it. Deku’s eyes go blank, as he’s been caught up in Shinso’s power…!

-Credits!

Oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh shit oh

Karaoke Night

The ever-lovely @riza-hawkqueen introduced me to the fact that Yuuri’s voice actor can sing, and this was the result of that conversation. Aaaannnnndddd I might have made a playlist to go with it that you can listen to here.

Victor couldn’t believe his luck. Somehow, between himself and Phichit, they had somehow convinced Yuuri to go to a karaoke bar. It could have something to do with the shiny Skate America medal around his neck. Yurio was only pouting slightly about his silver, and Phichit was always cheerful, even having come away with the bronze. Victor’s first qualifying competition was later, the Cup of China. But there was no way he would miss Yuuri skate, if he could manage to be there. But this, Victor thought, might be the best idea Phichit had ever had. He sent Chris a quick text, knowing the Swiss skater wouldn’t want to miss this.

Yuuri eyed the drink Victor set in front skeptically, but he didn’t comment. At least, he didn’t comment until the third drink magically appeared in front of him.

“Victor,” Yuuri asked, “are you trying to get me drunk?”

“No?” Victor said unconvincingly. Yurio snorted from where he was slumped in the corner, pretending he didn’t really want to be there.

“Of course he is. Do you think he’s going to let you out of here without singing some awful, sappy duet with him, and you probably won’t do that without being just a little bit drunk.” Yurio didn’t even look up from his phone as he delivered this rant. Phichit laughed and Victor pouted while Chris patted him consolingly on the shoulder.

“D-do you want to do a duet?” Yuuri asked. Victor nodded, almost vibrating with excitement. Yuuri sighed, knocked back the rest of his drink, grabbed Victor’s hand and dragged him up on the stage. Victor grinned like an idiot as Yuuri took a moment to select their song. The Russian’s jaw dropped when Yuuri started to sing. He had no idea that his fiancé could sing like that. Yuuri belted out the first lines of “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” before he realized that Victor wasn’t singing along, just staring at him slack-jawed. The three drinks and Yuuri’s bolder side took over. Stepping closer to Victor, he grabbed the older man’s tie, pulling him down until they were face to face, just in time to launch into the chorus.

“Oh, I wanna dance with somebody I wanna feel the heat with somebody Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody With somebody who loves me,”

Yuuri sang, staring fiercely into Victor’s eyes. Victor finally remembered that this was a duet, and started singing along in his accented English. Somehow he made it through the rest of the song, though Victor wasn’t entirely sure how. Not with that voice, and the dance moves Yuuri threw in, consisting mainly of seductive hip wiggles and tapping Victor on the chest, with a come hither look that made Victor think that his head might explode. Phichit and Chris whooped as Yuuri led Victor back to their table when the song ended. His face was bright red, but the Japanese skater looked rather proud of himself. Victor looked like he wouldn’t remember how to walk if Yuuri didn’t have ahold of his hand. Phichit had his hand raised for a high-five, which Yuuri met.

“You’ve still got it!” Phichit said excitedly. Yuuri ducked his head in embarrassment.

“Still?” Victor asked, coming out of his fog to latch onto that word. Yurio groaned loudly, hoping to discourage the story he knew was coming. An ineffective attempt.

“Oh yeah!” Phichit exclaimed. “Yuuri and I used to do this all the time when we were in Detroit!”

“Oh, really?” Victor purred.

“Forget this!” Yurio growled. “I’d rather sing than listen to this.” He pushed away from the table and everyone stared at him. “What? You don’t think I can sing as well as Katsudon?” he huffed. “I’ll show you.” He stomped up to the stage and aggressively selected his music. “You Spin Me Round” started playing. Chris raised his eyebrows.

“How’s the kid going to do? I’m pretty sure he wasn’t even born when most of this music came out…” But Yurio surprised them all by absolutely nailing it.

“Kid’s not a bad singer,” Phichit remarked, videoing the entire thing on his phone. Yurio flung himself back into his chair.

“Any story telling that will make Victor a bigger sap had better be over. And Chulanont, I know you filmed that, do not post it.”

“But Yurio,” Phichit pouted. “Your fans would love it!”

�� “Exactly! They’re already psycho enough!” the blonde said, exasperated. “Promise me, Chulanont.”

“Hmm, and what would I get in return for that promise?” the Thai skater asked. Yurio thought for a moment.

“I’ll share my Victor black mail file with you.”

“Deal!” Phichit said leaning across the table to shake Yurio’s hand.

“Black mail file?” Victor asked. Yuuri just patted his arm reassuringly.

“My turn!” Chris said.

“Oh, there is no way I’m missing this!” Phichit said, scooting closer to the stage. “Chris will let me post it,” he said, glancing over his shoulder at Yurio.

“Answers still no, dude, and you are definitely benefiting. I already sent you the file.”

“Oh no,” Victor whispered softly as the first notes of Chris’ song started playing. Yuuri frowned at him in confusion for the first couple lines, until he recognized the song. Chris was singing Madonna’s “Like a Virgin”.

“This is internet gold,” Phichit whispered reverently. Yurio made a sound like he might be dying. Chris apparently only had one performance style, what Phichit would call ‘hot sex’ though not in the video tags, because that just wasn’t classy. Chris returned to the table with a grin.

“What did you think?” he asked.

“I think all the women in this bar and at least half the men probably want to jump you,” Phichit told him approvingly.

“Phichit,” Victor groaned, “please don’t encourage him.” Yurio made a strangled sound that might have been agreement.

“Chris,” Phichit said, handing the older man his phone, “You are in charge of videoing my song, as you have the best social media presence of any one here. I’m trusting you.”

“Of course,” Chris said smoothly, accepting the phone. Victor couldn’t decide if he should be offended or not.

“I have a social media presence,” Victor said quietly. Yuuri patted him reassuringly on the arm.

“You have a Yuuri Katsuki appreciation account,” Yurio snorted. Yuuri shushed them.

“Phichit will kill you if you’re talking in the background of his video.”

On stage, Phichit tapped his foot to the opening notes of “Take on Me”.

“Is he serious?” Victor whispered. “Doesn’t this have some really high notes?” Yuuri shushed him again. Victor’s jaw dropped for the second time that night, amazed at the notes Phichit was hitting.

“How often did you and Phichit do this again?” Yuuri placed a hand over Victor’s mouth instead of answering. Then he nudged another drink Victor’s direction, probably a questionable life choice for both of them.

“I’m going to be the DD again,” Yurio grumbled. “I didn’t not sign up to baby sit grown-ass adults. I hate the drinking laws in this country.”

Phichit bounced back to the table and grabbed Yuuri by the wrist.

“Come on!”

“Really, Phichit?”

“How can we not do our signature song?”

“I kind of hate you sometimes, you know?” Yuuri muttered.

“You love me and you know it,” Phichit replied cheerfully. Victor leaned forward, elbows resting on the table, eager to soak up every bit of this new facet of his fiancé. Yurio tapped on his phone, pretending to be completely uninterested. He was really texting a play by play to Otabek. If he was going to suffer, he wasn’t going to do it alone. But even Yurio lowered the phone as Yuuri and Phichit started “It’s the End of the World as We Know It” in complete synch. How often had they done this? Yurio would never admit to being impressed. But he might have recorded it to send to Otabek. In the name of not suffering alone, of course.

“Yuuri, that was amazing!” Victor crooned when they returned to the table.

“Don’t be gross!” Yurio protested. “Why did I even come with you guys?”

“Because you love us!” Victor said happily.

“No, no, I don’t,” Yurio protested. He didn’t like having Victor’s overly affectionate attention on him, but at least he’d stopped fawning over Yuuri for the moment…

Several songs and rounds of drinks later, Yurio had completely given up and was making new additions to his black mail files. Victor and Yuuri were both done several articles of clothing, though neither of them had crossed the line into public indecency yet. Maybe he should tell the bar keep to cut them all off… While Yurio was having this internal debate, Yuuri decided to drag Victor up to the microphone for another sappy ballad. This time it was “Heaven is a Place on Earth” and Yurio thought he might barf. Yuuri was hitting fewer right notes than before, but he still didn’t sound too bad, Yurio admitted grudgingly to himself, though he would never say such a thing out loud. Victor… let’s just say Victor made up for his lack of skills with enthusiasm.

“You’re a disgrace to Russia,” Yurio growled to Victor, who was leaning heavily on Yuuri to make it back to the table. “Katsudon handles his alcohol better than you do!” Phichit and Chris giggled at that, and Yurio had the sinking suspicion that this debacle of a night out was being live blogged to the world between the two of them. But he refused to check his social media notifications to be sure. He really really didn’t want to know. Or admit to the fact that he followed Phichit and Chris on their various social media platforms.

“I’m calling us an Uber,” Yurio announced, “and one of you adults is going to pay for it.” Yuuri just sighed and fished a credit card out of his pocket. Either he was more drunk than Yurio thought, or Yuuri actually trusted him. Yurio shook his head with an audible growl. No. This whole “bonding night” thing was not working on him! He typed in the information and handed the card back to Yuuri. He thought he was safe, but while they waited for their ride, Phichit decided that he wanted to sing “Down Under” with Yurio. The young Russian protested colorfully, but allowed himself to be dragged to the stage again. Yuuri and Victor made almost as much racket as his fangirls with their whooping and cheering. It’s a good thing we’re leaving, Yurio thought, or they’d kick us out for sure…

It was exactly as difficult as Yurio expected to herd four adults in various stages of inebriation out of the bar and into the waiting Uber. Luckily neither Chris nor Yuuri were too bad off, and they helped with the other two. Phichit was a couple drinks past tipsy and still singing 80s hits softly to himself. Victor was super clingy, refusing to unwrap himself from around Yuuri, and there was the main difficulty in walking out of the bar. Yuuri finally whispered something to the older skater that made him behave himself. Yurio fervently hoped he would never find out what it was.

“Yurio!” Yuuri called to him as they entered the hotel, preparing to go their separate way. “Did…did you have fun tonight?” Yurio sighed, looked around to make sure no one was watching, then gave Yuuri a small smile.

“The time of my life,” he said quietly. The way Yuuri’s face lit up, Yurio knew he caught the reference.

[Legacy content] My Hero Academia - Episode 08

You know, I’m not so much mad that there was no sandwich bread in the house this morning. I’m mad that the mini donuts I had to get at the gas station instead for breakfast were so fucking shitty. …Anyways, it’s My Hero Academia, episode 08! Here we GO!

-We see, that scene we’ve seen so many times before. That time in the forest, between Katsuki and Izuku…And then…The Detroit SMASH, the one where Izuku tanked his opponent’s attack, to throw his teammate an opportunity to claim the victory. And Katsuki seeing, up close, what Izuku’s power, what taking that fire, did to his body. And then, seeing those eyes…That damned determination in the face of everything…

-As Izuku’s body shuts down…Katsuki’s brain basically cracks like a fuckin’ egg.

-Opening!

-And the hero team is declared victorious…As Izuku passes out, and Ochaco is fighting to keep lunch inside of her. (Also to Tenya’s credit, he breaks character immediately to help her out. You’re a good man, Tenya.) And everyone in the monitoring room is just staring, really seeing what this kind of thing means. The kind of stakes of even something like this…Izuku has to be carried out of there by robots. While Katsuki…Katsuki is really not taking things well. But it turns out I gave him far, far too much credit.

-See, I thought he was freaking out at the extent of Izuku’s injuries. I thought he was seeing the kind of injury that came out of his effort to be the big scary bully, and had his eyes opened to how he can’t fuck around like that anymore. A crisis of conscience as his heart grew three sizes that day. Hahaha nooooooo. This fucko just is freaking out because little Deku won through his head. And then as he’s in total freakout mode…That’s when All Might tries to calm him down, telling him to come back and see the results. Whether you win or lose, seeing what you can do to improve is an important part of life.

-Episode 08! Bakugo’s Start Line.

-And it’s in the monitoring room…Where All Might declares Tenya the MVP of the match! Who can tell him why he made this decision, hmm?

-It’s…Skimpy-outfit-girl, who figures it out. Tenya adjusted his plans actively and on the fly based on the actual goal he was given(that is, “protect the bomb”), doing his best to achieve his actual goal. He also took into context his opponents’ abilities, doing his best within time and circumstances to tilt the playing field in his favor by removing the miscellaneous debris that Ochaco could have used with her powers.

-Contrast Katsuki, who actively pursued Izuku over a personal grudge, using unwise and massively destructive techniques for the context…And then Izuku, while he did better, still ended up having to use an incredibly rash and unwise plan that left him completely out of commission. And then Ochaco let her guard down in the thick of things, and also made use of strategies that, quite frankly, only worked because it was an exercise. Her wild strategy to get to the bomb only worked because her goal was only to touch the bomb. Had she needed to, say, solve a puzzle to defuse it, she’d have been screwed.

-Tenya’s only mistake, in sharp contrast, was playing within the context of the training exercise’s fiction, as opposed to operating around the strictest, most game-like interpretation of the rules. …God DAMN, she caught everything. Meet Yaoyorozu Momo, one of four students who got in on recommendations alone…

-And now it’s time for the next groups to go at it! Keep in mind the specifics from this first exercise, whether you are in the field or monitoring from here. And so it’s Team B up on the hero side, and Team I on the villain side…Team I, which includes…

-Ah.

-An invisible girl.

-Who cannot make her clothes invisible.

-Well then.

-And it’s up! Bat-guy Shoji Mezo, with his arm wing things, starts by gathering extra data…And pins them both on the fourth floor. So his comrade, an ice man, steps up and starts to just freeze the building out…Where he’s able to lock down both villains, then just walk on in! It’s a bit of an overkill technique…But it also works. Especially because he undoes it as fast as it happened, melting all the ice and turning the place into a sauna. He’s Todoroki Shoto, one of the other four to get in on recommendation.

-So that was one quick match, as it’s soon review time…And Katsuki is losing his cool bit by bit.

-Then it’s the third match, where we see some of the odd tricks of Team J’s duo…When our bird man and frog girl of Team H go right in…And otherwise, it’s general quick flashes of power. These range from some of the classics like super strength or electricity, to odd things like a girl who can plug into the surface of the building and pull sounds…

-And when it’s all done, the tests are done, with only Izuku injured out of the lot. Which All Might is quite happy about, as now he has to go check up on the student and pass the results on to him. He shall see you all soon, children! And then he’s off in a flash…Already trying to figure out how he can help Katsuki from going over the edge…

-And then he’s got to race into the staff elevator, where he locks himself in just in time for his powers to fail. Fuuuuck…

-Commercial break!

-And we’re back! Recovery Girl is tearing into No Might for how this kid has been in here like three times in the first week…His body literally cannot take her healing powers this much. She had to just rapidly get him through the worst of it, and now he has to heal the rest by staying here overnight on an IV. Also, she knows the nature of One For All, as well as No Might and Izuku’s secrets. And thinks they’re both being utterly ridiculous. Because where she stands, of course, she doesn’t do the whole “acting like a symbol” thing. She tries to fix problems. That’s what she’s done ever since she was a plucky young thing back in the day. And if you’re going to be a symbol…You got to know what it means to guide this kid, to make him grow into someone great…Because in the way he’s going, he’s going to be a mess of scar tissue and pain meds before he’s old enough to drink.

-And eventually, Izuku comes to…And realizes it’s well in the evening by this point, as Recovery Girl decides he’s well enough to at least get home. Go home, rest in your own bed, and be back here first thing in the morning, young man.

-So Izuku heads back to the classroom to get his things, already expecting a talking-to from any number of teachers…But instead he finds like half the class has been there waiting for him, and they think he did awesome! You’re fuckin’ cool as hell, man! We get names, but I’m not keeping most of them in my head. I’m not not.

-And then Ochaco gets back and she sees the poor injured Izuku and you poor thing! But there’s only one thing that Izuku wants to know. Where’s Katsuki? He…Just went home a few minutes ago, as soon as he heard they were letting you out…

-So Izuku bolts, catching up to Katsuki out in front of the main campus…And Izuku…Reveals the nature of his Quirk. It was given to him by someone else. A hero saw what he did that day, with the slime thing that nearly killed them both…And chose Izuku to inherit power. He spent the entire last school year training his ass off just to be able to handle it…And he still barely can even survive using it. Everything that happened to day, was because he didn’t want to rely on that power he got from someone else, this power that tore his arm apart…

-But Katsuki doesn’t believe a word. He thinks Izuku is just fucking with him, that he’s been messing with him…And all Katsuki can think, is his fury. His rage, at having gone from the big fish in a small pond, to being in the fucking ocean, where the whales swim in the deep…And with tears in his eyes, with his rage turned inward more than anything else, Katsuki swears he’ll rise to the top again. He’ll be number one when they leave. He’ll, fucking, beat, you!

-And that’s when All Might finds the two of them. And he takes up Katsuki, and reminds him of something. To be proud of yourself, is a fine thing. But you must not let it blind you, or let it cause you pain when you are still young and inexpe—

-Katsuki demands he let the fuck go, now. Because he’s not interested in a lecture. He’s going to be somebody. He’s going to push himself, he’s going to be stronger than even YOU, and he doesn’t need your damn lectures to make that happen! All Might, too shocked to properly respond, can only let the kid go…

-As everyone’s watching…And Ochaco is continuing to get fired up about fated battles between men. She really does wanna just see Izuku get all sweaty and shirtless, doesn’t she.

-Credits!

-Aftercredits! A few days later, they’d all find out, just how terrifying and cunning villains can be…As in a bar, back in the Now, a few villains are talking about the fact that All Might’s in town, now a teacher at UA…

…Fuckin’ hell, Katsuki. You’re a real piece of work, you know that? Anyways, we’ll see how his ego keeps getting him in trouble next time, in episode NINE of My Hero Academia! Wait for it!
