Bakugou Katsuki x Reader : Win to Save

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

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

Reader is Gender Neutral and has an energy consumption quirk.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

2 WEEKS LATER

THIRD PERSON’S POV

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

SECOND POV

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

You pulled away first and kissed under his eyes gently.

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

“Of course.”

EXTRA

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

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

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

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