Two Souls (bnha daemon au, 2/7)
title: two souls
summary: There is nothing more special than the bond between a person and their daemon, but some people are inexplicably drawn to other daemons as well. Ochako wants to prove to the world that she and her daemon are capable of becoming heroes while Katsuki and his daemon are ready to take it on. What neither of them counts on is that same world pulling them together, creating a bond stronger than anything thought possible.
notes: The rest of these chapters will be past what we know of canon. I will actually write some more canon scenes with daemons in the future, but for this, it felt better to just do original scenes of them. What do I love more than writing BAMF Ochako?

Day One: Fragile
When Katsuki witnessed Uraraka lift practically an entire building over their heads, all he could do was stop and stare. Even Mako was struck silent, blood dripping from her open jaw. He could still remember when she tried to pull that move on him during their first Sports Festival. Back then, she’d been at her limit. Compared to that now, she was absolutely on fire. She had to have a limit, but this was more massive than he’d ever seen. A villain had destroyed the base of the building, but instead of it toppling on them, half of it hung in the air.
“What the hell is she doing?” Katsuki yelled over the noise.
“She’s giving us an escape route!” Mako shouted back as she bounded over to him.
Katsuki swung his gaze from the outskirts of the building’s drop zone where civilians, heroes, and villains alike were scattering. However, with all that weight tugging on her quirk, Uraraka was on her hands and knees, just barely managing to keep it together. It was taking everything in her to hold it up until everyone got to safety, but it left her stranded and barely able to move. Her golden cat daemon was huddled underneath her, its back pressed against her stomach as if it could keep her up.
What about Uraraka’s escape?
That’s what we’re for.
There was a burst of pride in Katsuki’s chest that he wasn’t sure belonged to him or his daemon. Mako took one last glance at him before she howled wildly and began to lope in Uraraka’s direction. She was quicker than a wolf had any right to be, unnaturally so, and Katsuki used a series of explosions to launch himself after her. When he dropped down next to Uraraka, Mako skidded to a halt and the two of them looked at each other.
Uraraka was much worse off than she’d looked from afar. She’d thrown up already, which meant that she’d gone past the limit of her quirk, and her entire body was shaking. It was hard to tell with his fur, but her daemon looked more golden than normal, shinier, as if he was bleeding Dust. Using her quirk so extensively was not just straining her; it was pulling at the very fabric of her being.
“We need to get out of here!” Katsuki exclaimed, putting a hand on her back to still her shaking. “Can you move?”
He knew that she heard him from the way her head twisted, but surprisingly it was her daemon who answered instead. “She can’t! If she tries to move, she’ll pass out unless she releases her quirk!” His brown eyes implored them both from underneath her hunched figure before locking onto Katsuki. “Help her!”
They were at the end of their second year and Uraraka’s daemon had never once spoken to him. As friendly and bubbly as she was, he’d noticed that her daemon tended to be more reserved. It had taken him until the attack on their camping trip before he’d spoken to Asui, not until their Provisional License Exam apparently to Deku, and then another month after that to Iida. On the opposite end, Katsuki rarely had other people’s daemons speak to him. Kirishima and Kaminari had both been exceptions, their daemons opening up rather quickly, while Ashido’s had been standoffish and Sero’s anxious up until recently.
Mako didn’t just talk to people. She had very little interest in them. It took her much longer to open up to the others than their daemons had with him.
Of course Katsuki had heard Uraraka’s daemon talk before, just never to him and never like this. There was real desperation in his voice, but also anger and determination. He would do whatever it took to protect his human, even if it meant doing something he hated. Even if it meant trusting someone Katsuki was sure that he didn’t like. He’d seen the glares the cat daemon had sent him even when Uraraka smiled and laughed.
“You heard him,” Katsuki barked.
Oh, the little daemon (and perhaps Uraraka too) was not going to like this, but it was their only option. If Uraraka couldn’t move without releasing her quirk and dropping the building on them, they would have to move her themselves. Mako understood right away and carefully reached under Uraraka with her snout to take hold of her daemon and pull him out from underneath her. Holding him by his scruff certainly wasn’t pleasant and the daemon didn’t like it one bit, kicking and yowling, furious at being taken away.
“What are you doing?” the daemon demanded.
“Getting you two out of here!” Katsuki’s words silence the cat and stopped his fighting. He hadn’t meant to respond to it, but Mako’s mouth was literally full and they didn’t have time for his fighting. “Now go!”
Mako didn’t need to be told twice, turning on her heels and booking it to the edge. As future heroes, they’d trained hard to stretch the distance of their soul bond. They needed to have a running start if they were going to make it in time. Katsuki watched them go, counting the seconds as he felt the uncomfortable tug on his bond. He couldn’t let them go too far or Uraraka would break, but if he shot off too soon, the sudden change would be worse.
When the timing was near, he leaned over Uraraka, slipping an arm underneath her and pulling her snug against his chest. She gasped and tiny bits of concrete began to drop from the building. Close to her ear, Katsuki murmured, “Don’t ever let anyone tell you again that you’re fragile after this.”
Uraraka stilled in his grip and then slowly took one hand off the ground to hold onto his arm. It was a delicate touch, a trusting gesture, that he wasn’t quite sure he’d ever earned.
And then he was off, blasting at what probably felt like the speed of light for her. She really should have rockets put in her boots or something to propel her instead of just floating. When they made it out of this alive, he’d tell her. She obviously hadn’t been prepared for the sudden movement and her grip on him tightened. All he could do was pray that she didn’t puke all over him. It didn’t matter the severity of the situation; Mako would laugh for days over it.
He was close to catching up with Mako near the edge when Uraraka gasped, “Hayato-”
“Mako’s got him!”
Tears streamed down her face. “I-I can’t- hold it-”
“Yes, you can!” Katsuki yelled over the boom of another one of his explosions. Using one hand meant going slower than two, but she didn’t have the strength to hold onto him. “You’ve got this!”
“Bakugou, I can’t!” Uraraka cried out.
They were so close to the edge. Just one more second, one more-
Katsuki!
He glanced down in his arms where Uraraka had gone limp. She had held on for as long as possible, but instead of releasing her quirk, her body had given out. The building stuttered and then began its very quick descent. Letting out a pained yell, he shot off one more explosion, more powerful than the rest combined and they burst into the clearing right as the building hit the ground. Unable to manage a proper landing, he had to wrap his other arm around her and roll over so that they landed on his back and the two of them skidded through rabble, rocks and glass tearing at his exposed skin, until they came to a complete stop.
“Holy shit, Bakugou, you made it!” someone that sounded like Kirishima shouted. It was hard to tell with his eyes closed, his body exhausted, and his brain so murky. He could feel himself fading as surely as Uraraka, but forced himself to blink and stare up at the dusty sky above him. “Someone get the paramedic over here! We’ve got Uravity and Ground Zero down!”
“I’m...fine…” Katsuki grumbled as he slowly pushed himself up. His back and shoulders hurt like hell, but nothing compared to his left arm. It would be stinging for the rest of the day. He glanced down at Uraraka slumped in his arms against his chest, her chin resting on hers. No, nothing could compare to what she felt like. It had been a long time since he’d seen something so incredible. Stupid as hell, but impressive. “Uraraka needs help though. She overdid her quirk again.”
“No shit,” Kirishima breathed out as he bent down to take a closer look.
“Where are your daemons?” Kazumi asked worriedly, appearing from behind Kirishima.
Mako came out of the dust and gently laid Uraraka’s cat daemon on the ground. He was out cold like his human. She gave a great shake, knocking some of the dust off of her coarse coat of fur. “Miss me?”
Kazumi hurried over to the daemons and nudged the unconscious one. “Poor Hayato! He looks like he bled some Dust. I hope it didn’t strain their bond.” A consequence of overusing one’s quirk could lead to a strained bond with a person’s daemon. In some extremely severe cases where the quirk had been damaged, the bond could even potentially be severed.
“Nah,” Katsuki said. “They’re tougher than that.”
Mako sat down on her haunches and tilted her head, her unblinking gaze moving from the cat to Uraraka still against his chest. Where do you see fragile?
