My Hero Academia Oneshots

I walked down this road slowly

“Hey,(First Name),are you okay..?” Uraraka asked the girl anxiously. (First Name) looked over at her friend in confusion,raising an eyebrow. 

“What are you talking about,Uraraka?” (First Name) asked curiously,raising an eyebrow. 

“Deku told me about who your soulmate is..” Uraraka said,casting a glance over at the ash-blond boy sitting nearby. (First Name) let out a slight laugh,waving her concerns off. 

“Uraraka,I’m already used to that idiot.” (First Name) said,Uraraka staring at the girl anxiously. (First Name) just turned back to paying attention to her work,though she had trouble focusing as memories flooded into her head. 

---

“Ne,Bakugo,what’s your soulmark?” Five-year-old (First Name) had asked curiously. 

“Huh? My soulmark? Why does it matter?” Five-year-old Bakugo asked. 

“I just wanna know,’cause mine is a little explosion.” (First Name) said,holding up her wrist and grinning proudly. 

“That’s so cool! Does that mean Kacchan is your soulmate?!” Deku asked her excitedly,his eyes sparkling. “I can’t wait until I get my Quirk!” 

“I don’t have my soulmark yet.” Bakugo told (First Name),who nodded and grinned. 

“Hopefully ours match!” (First Name) told him,the blond boy nodding with a grin. 

“You’d better be strong!” Bakugo told her,(First Name) nodding and grinning. 

--- 

“Bakugo,listen,we need to talk.” Sixth-grade (First Name) had said,reaching out for the boy’s wrist. 

“I don’t want to talk to you,(First Name),so screw off and go play with that stupid Deku.” Bakugo hissed,jerking his hand away and glaring. The familiar red eyes no longer seemed the same,making (First Name) flinch back a little.

“I just wanted to ask you which middle-school you’re attending.. Testing is coming up soon,after all..” (First Name) said quietly,the blond just sighing. 

“You don’t need to keep following me around everywhere just because you’re my soulmate.. It’s not like it’s a big deal just because our marks match,you dumbass.” Bakugo growled out,realizing his friends were staring at them. He couldn’t look weak in front of anyone,so he left the girl behind and walked off with a fake smirk painted on his face. 

---

“Bakugo,let’s hang out after school today,’kay?” (First Name) asked curiously,her soulmate scoffing. 

“As if I’d meet up with a loser like you when I’m studying for exams..” Bakugo muttered as he walked by her. He didn’t get much joy out of bullying the girl,so he focused on bullying Deku instead. When he grabbed the notebook from the green-haired boy,his eyes widened when it was snatched out of his hands,turning to confront the girl angrily. 

“Katsuki,we need to talk,so stop pushing it off!” The seventh grade girl shouted,the blond just shoving her and snatching the notebook back. 

“Just stay out of my way,you dumbass!” Bakugo shouted at her,knowing fully well he’d put too much force behind the shove. He had to be harsh to her. The future number one hero couldn’t afford to have someone he cared about. The girl just clenched her fists before she stomped away,walking straight out of the classroom. 

---

“Hey,Mrs.Bakugo,could I maybe come in and talk to Katsuki?” (First Name) asked nervously. She had been terrified after hearing about the sludge villain attack a few days prior. 

“Of course you can sweetie,come on in.. How have you been,anyways? It’s been a while since Katsuki has invited you over..” Mitsuki told her,opening the door wider and stepping to the side to let the small girl in. She had seen (First Name) plenty of times back when the girl was still just a kid,but Katsuki had become too independent to think of anyone as a proper friend,which worried her. 

“I’ve been fine,but you know how it is.. Katsuki’s a pain.” (First Name) said honestly,rubbing the back of her neck and smiling. “It’s not that big of a deal,though.. How have you been,ma’am?” 

“I’ve been fine,honey.. Would you maybe like something to drink? I know your house is sorta far away,so I’m sure you’re thirsty..” Mitsuki told her,smiling happily. 

“I’m good,but thank you.. Can I go ahead and head up to Katsuki’s room?” (First Name) asked,the woman nodding and ruffling her hair with a smile. 

“Go ahead. Good luck,(First Name).” Mitsuki said happily,the girl smiling back at her before heading upstairs. 

(First Name) knocked three times on Bakugo’s door before she pushed it open,looking around his room. It had changed a lot since they were kids. He had a couple of All Might posters on the wall,and a few weights in the corner,but his room was rather barren besides that. Peering at the bed,she sighed when she saw that the boy was asleep,deciding to just leave him a note. Sitting next to his door,she scribbled out what she’d wanted to say before she shoved her notebook in her backpack and stood up again. 

Walking over to a sleeping Bakugo had been a bad idea,but the girl hadn’t expected him to wake up in a panic. She hadn’t expected him to nearly blow her up in his half-asleep state,and she definitely didn’t expect him to get angry at her for almost getting herself hurt. 

“Fu- What the fuck are you doing in my room,you damn idiot?! Are you really that big of a dumbass!? I could’ve fucking blown you up,dumbass!” Bakugo shouted angrily,letting go of her with a sigh. 

“I was worried about you..” (First Name) said,rubbing the back of her neck and stepping back. “You haven’t been at school in a few days,so I thought maybe you really had gotten hurt in the attack,and I couldn’t just stay at home when I thought of that..” She said,looking down at her feet. 

“Did the old hag let you in? Just go home,you moron. I’m fine.” Bakugo told her angrily,flicking her forehead. She reached up and rubbed the spot he’d touched with a slight pout,before letting out a sigh. 

“No way. I have the work you’ve missed in class,as well as all of the notes color-coded the way you like them,so you should at least hear me out.” (First Name) said,looking at him with a frown. 

“I’ve already told you a million times that I don’t need you around me,so just leave!” The blond snapped,the girl just opening her bag calmly and getting the work out. 

“I know you don’t need me around you,but I thought I’d tell you that I plan on going to U.A. as well.” (First Name) said calmly,not looking at him as she pulled the folder out,holding it out to him. “I won’t bug you while we’re there,and I won’t mention your mark,alright?” 

“Hah?! Are you an idiot?! With a Quirk like yours,there’s no way you can make it at U.A.!” Bakugo snapped,the girl just waving him off and heading out of the room. Bakugo followed her out angrily,not done with the conversation yet.

---

(First Name) snapped out of her daze when she felt someone tap her shoulder,raising her head with wide eyes as she  looked at Mr.Yamada in confusion. She had activated her Quirk without thinking,her desk now a mess of black-and-white cloth while her backpack had become a brown,wooden pile on the floor. The teacher just pointed at the door and told her to go to Principal Nezu’s office for a while. 

Walking into Principal Nezu’s office was strange,though she wasn’t surprised when Nezu just offered her a cup of tea and asked her to talk about what had happened. She ended up spending the rest of the day in the Principal’s office,talking to him about all sorts of things happily. Nezu had a soft spot for the girl,mainly since her mother had been a good friend of his when they were younger,so he had practically become a therapist for her since her enrollment. The Principal wasn’t even angry when she explained what she’d done to her desk,knowing that she could reverse it later. 

When the school day was finally over,Principal Nezu let the girl leave,waving as she left his office. (First Name) just went to the classroom to fetch her bag,using her Quirk to swap the desk and her backpack back to normal. 

“(First Name),are you okay? You seemed really anxious after I said that stuff earlier.. I’m sorry..” Uraraka apologized,making (First Name) laugh. 

“Of course I’m alright. I’m sorry that I made you worry,I just didn’t get much sleep last night so I couldn’t focus and lost control.” The (Hair Color) haired girl said,grinning at her as she picked up her bag. 

“Do you guys wanna walk home together?” Tsuyu asked,holding her own bag. 

“Yeah,we can stop at the convenience store and buy some ice cream.” Jiro offered. 

“You guys can all just come over to my house and we can help (First Name) catch up on the work she missed!” Momo said,grinning.

“I appreciate it,but I have a bunch of chores to do before my dad gets home,so I’ll have to pass.” (First Name) said,rubbing the back of her neck guiltily. 

“It’s fine,we can just do it tomorrow! I’ll let you borrow my notes,though.” Momo said,holding her notebook out happily. (First Name) thanked her and took it,giving her friends a grin. 

“We can at least walk home together.” Uraraka said,the others nodding as they walked out happily. 

(First Name) walked home with her friends happily,waving at them before she went into her house. She walked up to her room and face planted into the pillows,curling up with a sigh. Her relationship with Bakugo had slowly turned as ‘normal’ as friendship could be with the boy,but that didn’t stop her from struggling with getting accepted by the boy. She wanted to be loved by her soulmate,not ignored. She looked down at her wrist and frowned as she stared at the little explosion mark on her (Skin Color) skin. She didn’t understand why her soulmate was Bakugo,but she knew she would have fallen in love with the boy regardless of the mark on her wrist. 

The path that I was on was lonely 

The USJ attack ended in (First Name) getting quite a few cuts while defending Ojiro from some of the thugs. She hardly managed to keep herself from passing out before the pros arrived,though the adrenaline kept her awake until she saw that Bakugo was safe while she was being led out. She collapsed immediately after seeing that he was okay,Ojiro panicking from his spot beside the girl. She wasn’t taken to the hospital since Recovery Girl was there,but she did spend the rest of the day in the nurse’s office. 

---

“Bakugo,don’t you think you should at least go and check on her?” Kirishima asked the blond as they began their trek home. 

“Huh!? She can handle herself,shitty hair!” Bakugo snapped as he walked,not even looking at the redhead. He was pissed off that she was weak enough to let herself get hurt,but he wouldn’t admit that seeing her collapse had made him a little anxious. 

“But she got hurt pretty badly,ya know? Ojiro said that she got hurt protecting him,so he wanted to stay behind for her.. What if he gets a crush on her or something?” Kirishima asked,smirking slightly as he tried to tease the blond. 

“Then left him! It’s not like I care!” The blond snapped angrily,letting out a ‘tch’ as he walked. He was beyond pissed off,but he wouldn’t speak of it. 

---

(First Name) woke up when the day was finally over,groaning a little bit as she rolled over. Her eyes widened when she remembered everything that had happened,the girl sitting upright immediately and looking over. 

“I see you’re finally awake.” Recovery Girl said,(First Name) nodding a little as she looked over at her in confusion. 

“Um.. What exactly happened since I passed out..?” She asked awkwardly,making the older woman laugh. 

“Well the other students barely had scratches or bruises,but you and Mr.Midoriya were brought here since your injuries were more severe. The school day is already over,so it’s probably best that you head home.” Recovery Girl explained,holding out a chocolate bar. “Eat this to get some of your energy back and then get going before it gets too dark out.” 

“Thanks..” (First Name) said awkwardly,eating the chocolate slowly. When she finally felt like she could stand without feeling lightheaded,she slipped off the bed and thanked the woman before leaving. She grabbed her bag from the classroom,surprised when she saw Ojiro there. 

“Hey,uh.. I just kinda wanted to thank you for earlier..” The tailed boy told her awkwardly,rubbing the back of his neck. His tail was twitching nervously,which just made (First Name) laugh. 

“You don’t need to thank me for that,Ojiro. If you hadn’t been there,I would have been in big trouble. I’m still inexperienced with using my Quirk a lot in short spans of time,so I would have ended up passing out earlier.” The girl explained as she picked up her bag. 

“I’ll carry it for you and walk you home.” Ojiro said,taking the bag from her quickly and walking her out of the room. “To make up for it,I mean.. I kinda thought that since Bakugo was your soulmate that you’d be a bit more.. Well,you know.. A bit more like him,I guess.. So today,I was honestly really surprised that we could work so well together..” 

“Ah,Bakugo and I? Well,us being soulmates isn’t a big deal to me,but people tend to be surprised when they find out.. Is it that strange for us to be soulmates?” (First Name) asked as they walked through the hallways together,looking at the boy curiously. 

“Honestly,it’s really weird.. I mean,he’s so.. Well,he’s loud and flashy,but you’re a bit more on the quiet side and you just seem way more normal compared to him.” Ojiro admitted with a chuckle. “Does he secretly treat you well or something?”  

“As if! He never texts me back,and he won’t hang out with me unless his mom forces him to come over to my house,which only ever happens when I’m sick. And he’s always really,really snappy whenever I try to talk to him while we’re here.” (First Name) laughed as she walked out the door,thinking the very idea of Bakugo being soft to her was ridiculous. 

“Does he ever hit you or something?” Ojiro asked worriedly,stopping as he looked at her seriously. 

“If I ever fought him,of course he’d hit me,but it’s not like he’s abusive.. Bakugo doesn’t really care about gender is the only way I can describe it,I guess? A fight is a fight in his eyes,and that’s how he’s always been,but he and I haven’t fought in a few years..” (First Name) explained calmly. 

“Seriously..?! Doesn’t that scare you?!” Ojiro asked,his eyes wide and full of shock. 

“Not really.. If you think someone is weak just because of their gender,then you become a horrible person,right? I’m fine with fighting anyone,and so is he,so it doesn’t matter. If I was scared of getting hit or getting hurt by someone,I wouldn’t start a fight.” (First Name) explained with a laugh. 

“You’re seriously strong,then..” Ojiro muttered. “If I was a girl,I’m sure I’d be scared to fight a man,even with a Quirk like yours..” 

“If someone doesn’t want to get hit,whether it be by a man or a woman,then they shouldn’t start a fight.. That’s all there is to it.” (First Name) said calmly,keeping her eyes ahead as they walked. The walk was silent after that,the two soon arriving in front of her house. 

“Are you sure you’ll be okay?” Ojiro asked her worriedly,looking at the dark house. “It doesn’t look like your parents are home..” 

“I’ll be fine,Ojiro. Thanks for carrying my bag and walking me home,but I can handle myself from here.” (First Name) reassured him,the boy nodding reluctantly and giving her the bag. “I’ll see you at school the day after tomorrow,’kay?” She asked. 

“Yeah,I’ll see you then..” Ojiro said,watching to make sure she got inside okay before he turned and left. 

--- 

(First Name) was curled up in bed all night after Ojiro had left,curled up with a plush pig she had won at an arcade a few years ago. With her parents at work all night,she felt rather lonely in her room. She stared at her phone in silence,her eyes widening when she saw a text from Bakugo pop up on her screen. 

You alright,you dumbass? 

She sat upright instantly,wondering if maybe the boy had gotten hurt after all. Bakugo had rarely,if ever,shown actual concern for her,so she was absolutely shocked. She took a few breaths to calm herself down,before she decided to text him back. 

Yeah. Recovery Girl healed me,and Ojiro walked me home,so I’m perfectly fine. How are you doing? 

The twenty-minute wait for him to text back felt like an eternity,the girl staring at her screen excitedly the entire time. She read the text happily when it popped up,her (Eye Color) eyes sparkling. 

I didn’t even get injured,because I’m not an idiot like you are. 

(First Name) nearly squealed from her happiness over the text. The great Katsuki Bakugo was actually worried about her,albeit in his own roundabout way,which made her genuinely happy. She struggled to think of what to say,but she texted him back in under five minutes. 

Hey,I managed to take out a bunch of those thugs,you know? If I hadn’t been sent to the fire zone,I would have been able to beat even more of them. Thanks for being worried about me,though. 

She waited another ten minutes for a reply,and then ten minutes turned into twenty,which turned into thirty. She waited nearly an hour for a reply,but she dozed off soon after. 

When she woke up the next morning,(First Name) wasn’t shocked to see that Bakugo hadn’t texted her back after all. She was a little bit saddened that the boy didn’t care to text her back again,but she was happy he had shown any concern at all. She felt a little bit less lonely for once. 

Starting to forget who I was 

When school began two days after the U.S.J. incident,(First Name) was surprised when she was praised by Kirishima for protecting Ojiro. 

“It’s really manly to protect your comrades!” Kirishima told the girl,who just laughed. 

“It’s not like it was a big deal,it’s just that I couldn’t be much help any other way..” (First Name) admitted,fiddling with her fingers. It was a nervous habit she had developed when she was a child,but the girl had been trying to break it recently. 

“No way,it was definitely cool! Not running away when you’re hurt means you’re super tough!” Kirishima told her,grinning. Class had yet to begin,so the boy could praise her for now without getting in trouble. He wanted to make her happy since Bakugo hadn’t spoken to her,completely unaware that the blond had texted her two days prior. (First Name) just shook her head and laughed,blushing a bit from the abundance of praise. She was weak when it came to compliments,after all. 

Silence overtook the classroom when Mr.Aizawa entered the classroom,before all hell broke loose because of the mention of the sports festival. (First Name) was excited as well,but she didn’t really show it as much as some of the others did. 

Once lunchtime rolled around,(First Name) went to eat with Momo and Jiro,the girls talking about how excited they were for the sports festival. 

“I’m anxious about it,but I’m gonna give it my all! What about you,(First Name)?” Momo admitted,(First Name) carefully choosing her words. 

“I’m gonna give it my all since it’s really important,but I don’t know if I’ll last that long..” The girl admitted,making Momo upset. 

“Your Quirk is really strong,so of course you’ll be strong competition for everyone!” The taller girl said,Jiro nodding along. 

“You’ve got a real shot at it,(First Name).” The purple-haired girl told her,making (First Name) smile. 

“Thanks,you two.” (First Name) said happily,the other girls grinning at her. (First Name) felt really lucky to have such good friends.

Losing the person I loved 

Two weeks passed by in a blur before the sports festival,and (First Name) was absolutely terrified when it came time for everyone to enter the arena. She wanted to trail behind the others and hide because of how anxious she was,but she walked with confidence after Bakugo bumped into her shoulder. She knew that the other would be livid if she ran away and hid like she wanted to,so she followed her classmates into the arena silently,looking around with wide eyes. 

It wasn’t long after that when she heard Bakugo’s speech,in which he proclaimed that he’d beat everyone. She covered her mouth to stop herself from laughing at how angry everyone seemed to get,but a few giggles still managed to escape before she could regain her composure. Momo looked at her,before letting out a giggle as well. 

“That’s exactly what I’d expect from Bakugo.” (First Name) said,Momo nodding before regaining her composure. 

The first test began soon after,with everyone crowding the stadium door and desperately trying to push the others out of their way. Not sure how else to get out of it,(First Name) just picked a pebble off the ground and threw it over the crowd,using her Quirk to swap her location with it. She appeared in front of the others,not surprised to see Todoroki there. She had narrowly avoided being frozen by his ice,but she didn’t really care to look behind her. Grabbing another rock off the ground,she rushed forward,a lot of her classmates coming up behind them as well. She was confident that she could keep her trick up,but she wasn’t confident when she saw the giant robots. Instead of backing down,she ran forward,touching one of the robots and barely managing to evade an attack by throwing the rock and swapping her location with it. She grabbed another rock quickly,before she turned and launched it at the robot. She swapped the weight of the robot with the rock just on time,watching as the robot went flying. She continued making her way through the obstacles using similar methods,though she was already starting to feel out of air by the time she made it to the end. 

During the second test,(First Name) ended up forming a team with Pony and Togaru. They couldn’t get any headbands since they ended up frozen because of Todoroki,which resulted in them running out of time even after they escaped. The group was annoyed by their loss,but (First Name) took it harder than the other two,pissed off that she had failed so easily. She thanked the duo regardless,and then headed off with the rest of her eliminated class. 

Before the third test began,(First Name) was shocked when Denki told her that they were supposed to dress as cheerleaders,though the girl reluctantly complied despite her disbelief. She wouldn’t have listened had it just been Denki and Mineta saying it,but Momo being convinced about it made her follow through with it. She wanted to cry from embarrassment when she realized that she and the other girls had been fooled,retreating with them out of embarrassment. She changed back into her gym uniform and went to the stands,absolutely flustered and upset that she had been tricked. 

The third test ended in (First Name) getting pissed off at the teachers for tying Bakugo up for the award ceremony,though nothing the girl said seemed to get through to them. She knew that being restrained terrified her soulmate because of the sludge villain attack,but nobody seemed to think the brazen boy would react as negatively as he did. She wasn’t surprised at how angry and panicked he was,and her heart ached as she watched him struggle.  

Scared for you know me 

Two days after the sports festival,(First Name) and the rest of the class became absolutely restless when they were told they would be choosing their codenames. She had plenty of ideas for her hero name,though she wasn’t sure which she should go with.

After Midnight arrived and people began to state their names,she watched in silence,struggling to think of a name. Her eyes widened when Bakugo tried to use ‘King Explosion Murder’ as his codename,staring at the boy in shock as she remembered the name. 

---

“Bakugo,what’s your hero name gonna be?” Six-year-old (First Name) had asked her soulmate curiously one day as she sat on the swings. They had been out playing for hours,and all the other kids had gone home already. 

“It’s gonna be something cool,like All Might’s name is! I just haven’t thought of a good one yet!” Bakugo told her,grinning cheekily at her. 

“How about ‘King Explosion Murder’? Isn’t it cool?” The girl offered,Bakugo just staring at her before he burst into laughter. 

“You really think that’s a good hero name?” He asked,clutching his stomach as he tried to stop his laughter. 

“Of course it is! It’s got the word ‘king’ in it because the strongest person in fairytales is the king,and it has ‘explosion’ in it because that’s your Quirk,and it’s also got ‘murder’ in it ‘cause you’re gonna be beating up bad guys that like to kill people! It’s great,right?!” She told him excitedly,the boy stopping and seriously considering it before nodding. 

“That sounds badass!” Bakugo told her,grinning. “I’ll definitely use it! But what’s your hero name gonna be?” 

“I haven’t thought of one yet,’cause my mama and papa don’t want me to do something so dangerous..” She admitted,Bakugo stopping to think of it. 

“Then.. Your name could be Queen Swap Killer!” He told her,grinning cheekily. She just laughed and shook her head,covering her mouth to stop the giggles when she saw him get upset. “It’s a really good name,you dumbass!” 

“Yeah,yeah..” She said,giggling and shaking her head. “I can’t use that name,though,’cause then people would think I’m as tough as you,remember?” 

“Oh whatever.” Bakugo muttered,huffing childishly before stomping away.

--- 

(First Name) covered her mouth to keep herself from laughing as she tried to remember the name she had eventually settled on. 

“(First Name),can you think of a name?” Uraraka asked her curiously,(First Name) just nodding as she wrote it down. Making sure nobody could see until she was at the front of the classroom,(First Name) held the sign up calmly. 

“My hero name will be The Exchange Hero: Swap..” She said,looking at everyone’s reactions anxiously. While most of the girls seemed happy for her,only a few of the boys had actually paid attention to her. Bakugo was staring at her with a blank expression,making her feel a little anxious. 

“Are you sure you want to name yourself based off of your Quirk?” Midnight asked,(First Name) nodding. 

“My Quirk is really hard to use,and I’m still training hard to develop it even now,but it’s summed up by the word ‘swap’.. Because of that,I want people to hear my hero name and understand that I’m working hard to become ‘one’ with my Quirk.” (First Name) explained,Midnight praising her for thinking so hard on it. 

The girl returned to her seat,where Uraraka praised her for being so careful with her name choice. 

“Your name is really cute,(First Name)! It’s absolutely adorable!” Uraraka said,(First Name) blushing a little bit at that. 

“You think so..? It’s just named after my Quirk..” (First Name) told her,blushing even brighter when Uraraka nodded. 

“It’s really,really,really cute!” The brunette told her,grinning. (First Name) just smiled at her,really happy that she had been praised. She casted a glance at Bakugo,who was calmly writing down his new name idea.

When the boy proposed ‘Lord Explosion Murder’ as his name,(First Name) couldn’t help but laugh,which pissed the blond off even more than his name being turned down. 

When lunchtime rolled around,(First Name) and Momo walked together with Jiro calmly. 

“Who are you going to intern for,(First Name)? You got an offer,didn’t you? Are you going to take it?” Momo asked curiously,(First Name) nodding. 

“There’s a pro hero over in Hosu City who thinks he could help me with my Quirk because ours are pretty similar,so I plan on going over there.” (First Name) explained,Jiro muttering about how lucky she was for getting an offer. 

“Which hero?” Momo asked curiously,tilting her head to the side a little. 

“His name is Hinagiku. He’s known as ‘The Nothingness Hero’.” (First Name) explained,Momo raising an eyebrow. 

“What’s his Quirk?” Jiro asked,leaning forward so she could peer at (First Name)’s face curiously. 

“He can completely break down an object into its components.” (First Name) said,laughing a bit. “Why are you guys acting like I’m being suspicious?” 

“Well,it’s just.. Both of us think it’s a little weird that some random pro hero decided you’d be a good candidate for their agency when some of our class didn’t get any offers..” Momo admitted honestly,Jiro nodding nervously. 

“It’s because my dad used to work with him when I was little.. It’s been a very long time since I last saw him,but he probably wants to see how much I’ve grown from when I was just a brat.” (First Name) told them,laughing a bit. “Let’s get to eating,yeah?” She asked,heading over to the lunchline with her friends close behind.  

I just wanted you to hold me 

The first day of her internship with Hinagiku,(First Name) was forced into training her Quirk while the hero assisted her carefully. While (First Name) kept changing the attributes of different items,Hinagiku kept breaking them down,watching as the girl struggled to keep up with his speed. 

The second day of her internship with Hinagiku,(First Name) was eager to go out on patrol with the man,who had decided she could use some fresh air while his sidekick watched over the agency. Things went well up until the Nomu began to attack. Instead of assisting in taking down the Nomu,Hinagiku forced (First Name) to focus on protecting people until a pro with a better Quirk arrived to handle the Nomu. (First Name) still ended up injured while protecting a child from some rubble,and Hinagiku took her back to the agency to get healed up by his sidekick instead of going to the hospital once everything seemed relatively under control. 

The third day of her internship with Hinagiku,(First Name) was eager to help with moving rubble and cleaning up the city. She spent all day helping the pros,though they didn’t let her do much for her own safety. 

The fourth day of her internship with Hinagiku,(First Name) was forbidden from leaving the agency. Since she had overused her Quirk the previous day,she had been banned from even going out on a patrol. 

The fifth day of her internship with Hinagiku,(First Name) was allowed to return to doing patrols,the girl walking around the city with Hinagiku in silence. Nothing big happened,but she didn’t really care. 

The sixth day of her internship with Hinagiku,(First Name) collapsed while out on patrol due to a horrible fever,which left the girl bedridden all day and night. 

The seventh day of her internship with Hinagiku,(First Name) was still in bed with a horrible fever,having trouble breathing. Hinagiku tended to the girl day and night,leaving the patrols to his sidekicks. 

When the week was finally over,(First Name)’s fever finally broke,though the girl spent an extra day at the agency in order to regain some strength. She bid her farewells to the members of the agency reluctantly and thanked them for everything before she headed back home,checking her texts as she sat down on the train. Her eyes widened when she realized some of her classmates had been texting her to ask how the Hosu incident went on her end. She texted everyone back to soothe their worries,happy they had been worried about her. She wasn’t surprised to see that Bakugo hadn’t texted her,though it did make her a little sad. 

Tell me I'm the only one 

“Katsuki!! You’d better go visit (First Name) tonight!” Mitsuki shouted at her son from the kitchen. 

“Oh shut up,you old hag! I’m not going to visit that idiot!” Katsuki shouted back from his room,not planning on leaving the house. 

“You’d better go visit her if you don’t want me to throw out that All Might hoodie you have hanging up in your closet!” Mitsuki shouted,Katsuki growling and getting out of bed. 

“That moron can handle herself!” Katsuki snapped as he stomped down the stairs,shoving his hands in his pockets and glaring at his mother. “Why do I have to deal with her?”

“Because she’s your soulmate,you hothead! Just go visit her!” Mitsuki snapped,Katsuki sighing before he stomped out of the house. He slammed the door as he left,making Mitsuki sigh at her son’s stubbornness. 

“Stupid old hag..” Katsuki muttered as he stomped towards (First Name)’s house. Of course a tiny part of him worried about his soulmate,and a slightly tinier part of him even cared about his classmates,but he didn’t exactly plan on admitting it. He had to maintain his pride,after all. 

It took half an hour for Katsuki to arrive in front of the medium-sized house,the boy walking up to the door and knocking calmly. (First Name)’s mother answered the door and invited him in,the boy just letting out a ‘tch’ before greeting her politely. As rude as the boy could be,he respected (First Name)’s family enough to at least greet them. 

“It’s been a while,Katsuki.. (First Name)’s up in her room since she’s not feeling too well.” The woman said,making Katsuki tense a tiny bit. The change in his stature was miniscule,but the woman knew he was worried about her daughter.

“What did that dumbass do?” Katsuki asked,just glaring at the stairs that led up to his soulmate’s room. 

“Hina said that she’d been really sick while she was staying in Hosu with him,but he couldn’t accompany her home because he had to run patrols properly.” The woman explained,Katsuki just looking at her and narrowing his eyes. Seeing the look on his face made the woman sigh,realizing he wanted to know more but that he wouldn’t admit it aloud. “I’m not too clear on the details myself since Hina’s not exactly thorough with his explanations,but I know she was running a bad fever for a few days and he was anxious about it.” She added,Katsuki letting out another ‘tch’ as he stomped up the stairs. 

“Oi,you dumbass,why didn’t you call me?” Katsuki asked as he shoved her door open angrily,falling silent immediately when he saw (First Name) fast asleep. She had her headphones on,her music playing as she slept. Her (Hair Color) hair was sticking out everywhere,the girl snuggling her favorite stuffed pig as she laid there. Katsuki just walked over quietly,gently reaching out and pressing his hand against her forehead to see whether she still had a fever or not. He relaxed a little when he realized she was fine,the boy pulling his hand back and staring at her. He could see the faint trails left behind on her cheeks from her tears,not even realizing he had reached out and touched her face again until he felt the water on his thumb as he wiped them away. He pulled his hand back and retreated out of the room quickly,shutting the door behind him and leaving the house without looking back once. 

The only one that you could love 

Katsuki ended up anxious during the last week of the semester,mainly because (First Name) had been hospitalized. She had come down with a terrible fever and had been bedridden,leading to her parents calling an ambulance. Katsuki wasn’t keen on going to visit her until his mother dragged him out of the house,the blond sighing as he followed his ‘old hag’ into the building. 

Katsuki hadn’t known what to expect when it came to (First Name)’s sickness,but he doubted anything could have prepared him for seeing the girl in such a horrible condition. Her whole body was shaking as she laid in bed,her face flushed from her fever. The sight made him anxious,but he didn’t know what to do to help her. Mitsuki marched off to go talk to the doctor,leaving Katsuki behind. 

“Oi,dumbass,are you alright?” Katsuki muttered as he walked over,mentally scolding himself for asking the unconscious girl such a stupid question. Anyone could tell that she wasn’t alright,but Katsuki didn’t know what else to say. Kirishima had texted him about her condition a few days prior,but he hadn’t believed how serious it sounded until now. 

Katsuki didn’t know what to do,and it left him feeling numb. He didn’t know how to help her. He couldn’t blow away a sickness,after all. Not even All Might could save the girl from a sickness,and that thought alone terrified him enough to make him retreat into the hallway. Mitsuki eventually returned,but seeing how anxious her son looked led her to back off. 

“Let’s get home,Katsuki..” The blond woman said,Katsuki just letting out a ‘tch’ as he stood up. 

“What did the doctor say?” Katsuki asked as they walked,not looking back at the hospital room. 

“She.. Well,she said (First Name)’s gonna be okay,but that her Quirk has probably been ‘poisoning’ her body since the Hosu incident.” Mitsuki said,knowing she couldn’t lie to her son. 

“What’s that even supposed to mean?” Katsuki asked,annoyance lacing his voice now. 

“I asked her mother about everything that had happened,and apparently she strained herself trying to help keep people safe from those ‘Nomu’ things. Because she overused her Quirk so much,it started to ‘poison’ her,which is also probably why she’d gotten sick back after the Hosu incident.” Mitsuki explained,sighing. “So her body is pretty much rejecting her Quirk right now,and since she doesn’t have much control over it while she’s sick,she’s making it worse.” 

“That’s bullshit.” Katsuki snapped,stomping the rest of the way home in silence. 

I didn't know we would be here but now we are 

(First Name) was released from the hospital a few days after the first semester had officially ended,the girl upset that she had missed her exams. The teachers had decided she could still attend the training camp,though Mic had been against the idea of the girl forcing herself so soon after her release,which had led to a long discussion that ended in Nezu stating that the girl needed to overcome that barrier. 

Katsuki was absolutely livid when he saw the girl on campus,but he didn’t speak out about it. Instead,he got on the bus in silence,deciding he could just shout at her for it later. He didn’t understand why she would want to attend the training camp after she had been hospitalized for nearly two weeks,but he wouldn’t speak up because that would make it seem like he actually cared,which just pissed him off even more. 

“Bakubro,how come (First Name)’s here?” Kirishima whispered to him,the blond elbowing him and giving him a sharp glare as he took his seat beside Tokoyami. Katsuki just leaned into his seat and shut his eyes,relaxing as he did so. He dozed off quickly,despite how loud everyone else was.

Katsuki woke up when the bus stopped,confusion filling him before he realized they must have stopped for a break. He,along with the others,got off the bus,looking around silently. The boy was unprepared when he was suddenly thrown off the cliff,though he sat up soon after he landed and looked around in annoyance. He saw (First Name) helping Uraraka up,though he didn’t really pay much attention to her when he noticed there were enemies. 

The fight through the forest lasted them the majority of the day,and Katsuki could barely feel his hands when he finally made it to the building. He was out of energy,wanting to curl up and sleep for hours,but he suddenly felt rejuvenated when he saw Deku get punched in the balls. Of course he thought the brat was funny,though he wouldn’t say it out loud. 

I didn't know I would fall for you this hard 

The second day of the training camp was absolute torture,(First Name) completely exhausted from taking the extra classes with the other students that had failed. Since she hadn’t been at school to take the tests,she was considered just as bad as the ‘other idiots’,which annoyed her a little more than she would have liked to admit. 

(First Name) was training to control her breathing better,the girl being warned that she needed to start off slow at first. She ignored Aizawa’s advice,much to the teacher’s annoyance,and continued to focus on controlling her breathing. She knew where she was lacking,and she was working hard to overcome her limitations. Even Katsuki was a tiny bit impressed with his soulmate’s hard work,but he continued to focus on his own training instead. 

I didn't know we would be here but now we are 

The third day of the training camp was just as painful for the students taking extra classes,though the hell that occurred during the test of courage was even worse. (First Name) managed to keep herself in one spot until she heard that Bakugo was being targeted,the girl unable to stop herself. Before Vlad could stop her,the girl used her Quirk,swapping her location with that of a stick she had used earlier that day to beat Mineta when he’d commented on her body. She knew she was being stupid,but she couldn’t calm herself down,looking around in a panic. She ran into the forest quickly,passing Momo,who gave her a mask and warned her not to be reckless. (First Name) thanked her for the mask and asked her where she assumed Katsuki was,Momo giving her the best estimate she could come up with. 

Before (First Name) could find Katsuki,she was captured by a masked man,the girl suddenly being plunged into darkness. 

I didn't know that love would tear me apart 

Katsuki woke up in a daze after he was captured,looking around in confusion before he became pissed off. He was angry,and secretly terrified,but he kept himself ‘calm’ as Tomura lectured him. 

“I’m sorry for kidnapping you and your girlfriend.. She got a little bruised,but she’ll be fine,so don’t be too mad,okay?” Mr.Compress asked,Katsuki freezing at that before he started to thrash around. 

“What the hell are you talking about,you stupid piece of fucking shit!?” Katsuki screamed,his red eyes full of anger. “You better not have touched her!” 

“No,no,no! We’re not perverts! We just brought her in case you misbehaved,but she’s unharmed.. Well,she’s not too badly hurt,though she did give us some trouble so I had to drug her a little is all..” Tomura said,laughing a little. “Listen,all you have to do is join us,you know? She’s your soulmate,right? I saw her little boom-boom mark on t.v. during the sports festival,and if I remember correctly,Compress said he saw a coin on your wrist,right?” 

“Where is she?! I’ll fucking kill you,you piece of shit! (First Name)!” Katsuki screamed,thrashing around angrily. 

“Wow,he really will make a great villain!” Toga muttered with a giggle,Twice nodding eagerly before shaking his head. 

“Dabi,let him out of his restraints.” Tomura said calmly,staring at the boy. 

“No way am I doing that. He’ll attack me.” Dabi told his ‘boss’,making Tomura scoff. 

“We’re trying to recruit him here,so we have to treat him as an equal.. And there’s no way he’ll attack us when he knows he’s outmatched and that we have his girlfriend.” Tomura said,Dabi making Twice undo the restraints. Katsuki blasted him in the face immediately,watching the hand fall. 

“You’d better tell me where she is!” Katsuki shouted angrily. Tomura barely held himself back from attacking the boy,picking the hand up and ordering the others not to touch Katsuki. 

“Bring the girl here,Dabi.” Tomura croaked out,the burnt man shaking his head. 

“No way am I touching that thing. I’ve never met someone with a Quirk like hers.” Dabi told him,making Twice sigh before he laughed. 

“I’ll go get her! Actually,I won’t!” Twice said,heading to the door leading into the back room of the bar to fetch (First Name). Katsuki kept himself close to the door nearest to him,glaring at the villains like a feral cat. A cornered dog bites harder than any other dog,so Tomura had decided to take a more ‘gentle’ approach. Twice soon led (First Name) out of the back room,the girl having a completely blank expression on her face. 

“(First Name),are you alright? Oi,what did you do to her,you piece of shit?!” Katsuki shouted,anxious since the girl seemed like a robot. 

“I told you I had to drug her to keep her calm. It’s not like I did anything too bad,she’s just.. Well,how do I put it..? Oh,numb! That’s the word I was looking for!” Tomura told him with a laugh,Katsuki barely able to hold his anger back. “I’m surprised that it hasn’t worn off yet,though. But since she’s like this,I can practically order her around like a Nomu! But,as a sign of good friendship.. I give her to you,will you calm down and listen?” 

“Of course I won’t! I already told you,I want to win like All Might,not like you bastards! Just fucking let her go,she has nothing to do with this!” Katsuki screamed. (First Name) was starting to look unsteady on her feet,which was making him anxious. He looked at the door when he heard someone say there was a pizza being delivered,confusion filling him for a split second until All Might blasted his way into the building. Once he was sure all of the villains were restrained,Katsuki rushed over to (First Name),shaking her. “Oi,dumbass! Snap out of it!” He shouted. Seeing that she still didn’t react,Katsuki did the next best thing he could think of and slapped her straight across the face,making the girl finally snap out of her dazed state. 

“Baku.. go..?” (First Name) muttered out,Katsuki trembling as he looked down at her. He had been terrified that he would lose her,but hearing her reply gave him hope. His hope was dashed when he saw her disappear,though he soon appeared at the same place as her. He coughed up the disgusting ‘sludge’,ready to vomit at the vile taste as he examined his new terrain. (First Name) was nearby,the girl coughing up much more of the ‘sludge’ than he had. Looking at the villains,Katsuki pulled the girl towards him,ordering her to get on his back. She did so immediately,knowing not to question him in this sort of situation. 

“You can’t let go,and if you do,use your Quirk to swap places with my shirt,alright?” Katsuki asked her quietly,the girl nodding as she gripped onto him. 

“I don’t know how much of my Quirk I can use right now,but if you can get me a rock,I can try and blast it at them..” (First Name) whispered back,the blasty boy just nodding. He knew their only chance to escape was if they worked together,but he didn’t exactly enjoy ‘taking orders’ from her. When All Might and All For One began to fight,Katsuki managed to keep distance between himself and the villains,trying his best to keep out of All Might’s way. When Kirishima called out for him,the boy blasted into the air and barely managed to grab his hand,though he did give his friend a grin. (First Name) was gripping onto his back tightly,her face buried in her soulmate’s neck. 

The group eventually landed,(First Name) still trembling as she kept holding onto Katsuki. 

“Bakubro,I can carry her..” Kirishima offered after catching his breath,not sure if the girl could walk or not. He reached out to touch her,the girl trembling even more at that. 

“Don’t even think about it,shittyhair.” Katsuki snapped,holding the girl up calmly. He wouldn’t let go of her until she was ready to be put down,mainly since he didn’t know the extent of her injuries. He had noticed that her lip was busted earlier,but he wasn’t sure what other injuries she could have. 

“(First Name),could I carry you? Kacchan needs to relax.” Deku asked,the girl peeking out at him just a little. Instead of reaching out for Deku,the girl reached out for Kirishima,which shocked all of the boys. 

“Oi,I can carry you.” Katsuki told her as he turned away so the others couldn’t touch her,annoyed that she was trying to ‘escape from him’. 

“Deku’s right,you need rest..” (First Name) muttered. “Iida used his Quirk a lot to save us,so he’s probably tired right now,and you’ll get angry if Deku carries me..” She pointed out,making Katsuki let out a ‘tch’ before he nodded at Kirishima. 

“Don’t bump into people while you’re carrying her,shitty hair,or I’ll kill you.” The blasty boy warned,Kirishima nodding as he took the girl. The group then walked off to try and reconnect with Momo and Todoroki,eventually handing Katsuki and (First Name) over to the police. 

After spending all day and night being interviewed by the police,(First Name) and Katsuki were both driven home,Katsuki refusing to ride in a separate car from the girl. The police relented,albeit reluctantly,and let him ride with (First Name) to her house,the girl staying close to Katsuki in anxious silence. 

Are you scared of love? 

Katsuki’s panic attacks and night terrors became worse over the next few days,the boy waking up at three in the morning each night in a fit of tears. He had never been afraid of dying,as he knew most heroes died in the line of duty anyways,but seeing (First Name) injured had terrified him to his core,meaning he’d spent the majority of their lives pushing her away for no reason. The boy turned his phone on as he sat up,checking the time and sighing as he pulled up her contact name. He stared at it,remembering how excitedly she had typed it into his phone two years prior,back when his mother had bullied him into giving the girl his number and getting hers in exchange. She had been ridiculously excited over such a simple thing,but looking back at it now helped soothe some of his anxiety. 

Deciding to actually call her took him merely five minutes to decide,the boy pressing the ‘call’ button and pressing the phone to his ear as he listened to it ring a few times. She picked up on the last ring,the boy listening to her sleepy sigh and her soft yawn as she greeted him tiredly. 

“Katsuki..? What’s wrong..?” The girl asked as she sat up in bed,rubbing her eyes. She could hear the nearly silent sniffles the boy let out,which meant he’d probably had another nightmare about what had happened to her. He’d called her the previous two nights under the same circumstances,but the girl couldn’t bring herself to be angry about it. Katsuki rarely showed his emotions,so him calling her like this made it glaringly obvious how anxious she had really made the boy. 

“I don’t want to talk about it tonight.. Just stay on the phone,you moron..” Katsuki muttered,his back pressed against the wall as he spoke into the phone. “What did you do today?” 

“I had to go back to the doctor for the last time for a while.. They cleared me to return back to hero training.” (First Name) said softly,listening to the sharp inhale the boy took. “I’m fine,Katsuki.. They had patched me up pretty good at their place,you know that..” 

“They stabbed you,you idiot.. That’s not ‘fine’,you could have died..” Katsuki said,sighing as he forced his temper down. “You should go into hiding or something.. They know you’re my soulmate,(First Name),they could go after you or your family..” 

“And U.A. is doing the dorm system to prevent that,right? So calm down,Katsuki,because I’m not gonna disappear,and I’m not gonna quit..” (First Name) sighed,rubbing the remainder of sleep out of her eyes. “Do you really think I’m that weak?”

“I don’t,but I.. Fuck,I’m the weak one,alright!? I can’t stand the idea of seeing you injured again!” Katsuki snapped,sighing as he ran a hand through his hair. 

“Katsuki,meet me at the park.” (First Name) said,hanging up before the boy could reply. Katsuki cursed as he slipped off his bed and headed downstairs quickly,knowing he was breaking the restrictions the police had put on him. He wasn’t supposed to leave his house unless it was necessary,but this was necessary to the boy. He slipped his shoes on and stomped to the park,absolutely livid that the girl was forcing him out. 

(First Name) arrived five minutes after Katsuki,the girl walking over to him. He didn’t exactly know what to expect,but he definitely wasn’t expecting her to slap him. 

“What the hell was that for?!” Katsuki snarled angrily as he rubbed the side of his cheek. 

“That was because you’re an idiot! I’m pissed that you think I’m just going to give up on being a hero because I got hurt! They stabbed me because I was being stupid,and that’s not your fault! Everything they did to me was because of my own actions,not yours!” (First Name) snapped at him,jerking him down to her height. “So don’t you dare tell me to give up again,Katsuki,or I swear that I’ll kick your ass into next year. Understood?” She asked. The boy finally broke down,the girl sighing as she hugged him. 

“I didn’t protect you well enough,so it is my fault..” Katsuki sobbed,gripping onto her. (First Name) was one of the only people he could freely cry in front of like this. 

“You couldn’t have protected me from someone if you weren’t there,Katsuki.” (First Name) reassured him gently,rubbing his back. 

“I kept pushing you away from me..” Katsuki sniffled,gripping onto her tighter. 

“You didn’t want villains to target me because I’m your soulmate,right? That’s perfectly understandable,Katsuki,and I’ve never once hated you for it.” (First Name) told him,grabbing his face and wiping his tears away. 

“But I.. I’m not strong enough..” Katsuki said,staring at her. His red eyes were full of tears,and it broke (First Name)’s heart to see him blaming himself for everything. 

“Katsuki,you’re plenty strong.. We’re still just kids,you know? It’s okay for us to take our time and grow.. That’s what U.A. is for,you know?” She told him softly. “You’re not just a machine,Katsuki,you’re a human.. You’re allowed to cry,just like All Might surely cries sometimes.” 

“There’s no way All Might cries,you dumbass..” Katsuki said,his arms wrapped around the girl as he pressed his forehead against hers,staring into her (Eye Color) eyes. He felt like an idiot for never noticing how beautiful they were before now,but he wouldn’t say that aloud. 

“Of course All Might cries sometimes,Katsuki.. Everyone cries sometimes,and that’s fine.. Everyone gets scared every once in a while,and I’m certain that even All Might was scared when he was fighting All For One.” (First Name) told him,giggling as she stared into his red eyes. “You’re strong,Katsuki,but even the strongest hero gets scared and cries sometimes,so don’t bottle it up too much,okay?” 

“Shut up,you dumbass..” Katsuki muttered,just pulling her closer. He put his hand on the back of her head and pushed her face into his chest,breathing in her scent as he just held her for a few minutes. He eventually stepped away after he regained his composure,looking down at her. “We have to officially move into the dorms tomorrow,right? Don’t breathe a word about any of this.” 

“I’d never tell anyone about any of this..” (First Name) promised him,grinning at him. “But we should both probably get back before we end up in trouble.” She added,the boy nodding with a sigh as he reached out and patted her head. 

“I’ll see you tomorrow.” He muttered before he walked off with a tiny tint of pink on his cheeks,leaving her standing there with red cheeks. 

‘Cause I'm scared of love

Katsuki and (First Name) spent their time until the Provisional Licensing Exam catching up on lost time and creating their ultimate moves,which shocked their classmates at how much Katsuki had changed. 

“Bakubro,does this mean you fell in love with (First Name)?” Kirishima asked his friend curiously one day,Katsuki snorting as he tried not to laugh. 

“You’re seriously asking me that? She and I are just friends,shitty hair.” Katsuki said,(First Name) nodding along. The girl had her head in his lap,enjoying the close proximity between herself and her soulmate as she laid there. 

“Right.. Then why are you giving her a lap pillow?” Kirishima asked,staring at the blond. 

“Because she’s tired,you dumbass.” Katsuki said,staring at him like he was an idiot. 

“And you,the most hot-headed and manliest person I’ve ever met,are willing to give your ‘friend’ a lap pillow without fistfighting?” Kirishima asked him,Katsuki nodding. Kirishima smirked at that,deciding to tease his friend. “And when will it be my turn to get a lap pillow,hm?” 

“Never,you stupid shitty hair!” Katsuki snapped,glaring at him. (First Name) just let out a huff when the boy moved,starting to sit up. Katsuki just put his hand on her forehead,pushing her head back onto his lap. “Stay there and rest,you dumbass.” 

“Then stop moving.” (First Name) muttered,Kirishima clutching his side as he laughed at the duo. 

“Geez,just date already. What are you two holding back for? Are you guys scared of being in love or something?” The red-head asked,(First Name) and Katsuki both glaring at him now. 

“We would date if we were in love,but we’re not in love,so why the hell would we date?” Katsuki asked,trying his best to keep himself calm. 

“You two are soulmates,so you’ll fall in love eventually,so why not just date now?” Kirishima asked,Katsuki shaking his head. 

“You don’t have to fall in love with your soulmate,let alone marry or date them,so just shut it and let (First Name) sleep in peace.” Katsuki said. He was fully aware of the girl’s love for him,but he wasn’t ready to face those emotions yet. 

“Yeah,yeah.” Kirishima said,chuckling as he headed into the kitchen. Everyone else had gone out to the pool,but Kirishima had declined since he didn’t feel up to it. As a result,he had walked in on one of the rumored ‘Katsuki Cuddle Sessions’,though he wasn’t as shocked as the others would be if they saw Katsuki like this. Denki had started the rumor,but nobody had believed him since he didn’t have proof. Kirishima knew the electric boy would love to be able to prove that he wasn’t lying to their classmates,but he didn’t intend on ruining things for his bestfriend by exposing his soft side to the rest of the class. “The others are coming back in an hour,so wake her up before then.” 

“I know.” Katsuki told him,playing a game on his phone silently as (First Name) slept. Kirishima just smiled,glad to see Katsuki so happy,and headed to his room. He’d keep Katsuki’s secret until the boy was ready to admit his relationship to the rest of their classmates,because that was the manliest thing he could do. 

Am I good enough for you? 

The Provisional Licensing Exam began and ended in what felt like a flash,Katsuki getting pissed off when he realized he had failed while most of his classmates had passed. (First Name) had passed as well,getting high marks for her efforts during the rescue drill. The girl had experience in actually saving people,so she had been able to direct and ‘save’ people with full confidence. 

“Oi,dumbass,what did you score?” Katsuki asked her,making (First Name) laugh nervously.

“I got a 96..” She said,Momo’s eyes widening as she began to praise her friend for scoring even better than her. 

“That’s awesome,(First Name)! I didn’t think it was possible for someone to score higher than Momo!” Uraraka told her,her eyes sparkling. 

“It’s probably because of Mr.Hinagiku.. Back during the Hosu incident,I helped him with rescuing people from rubble and calming people down.” (First Name) explained,clearly flustered. Katsuki just grumbled as he walked away,the girls just laughing since they were used to his antics. 

Two days after the exam was over,(First Name) wasn’t surprised that Katsuki and Deku had gotten into another fight,the girl just continuing on with her classes like usual,promising Aizawa she wouldn’t tell either of the boys about what was happening in class. 

When it came time to fight Mirio,(First Name) was able to evade the boy’s attack by swapping places with a rock she’d tossed to the side earlier,which shocked the third-year into using a bit more strength behind his next attack than he’d meant to. (First Name) wasn’t able to use her Quirk fast enough this time,Mirio successfully landing a hit that knocked the girl out before he continued to dispatch the rest of the class. 

Katsuki seemed to get a little pissed off that night when he saw how dark of a bruise his soulmate had on her face,but he didn’t admit it aloud,just taking out everyone’s trash angrily. (First Name) just talked to Uraraka and the others happy,oblivious to Katsuki’s anger at her injury. 

Are you scared of love?

Incident after incident occurred,but the class stuck together well. 

During their second year,(First Name) and Katsuki both qualified for the finals during the sports festival,though (First Name) lost against Tokoyami. Katsuki made it into second place,with Deku taking first and Todoroki taking third. The girl did her internship with Hinagiku once again,spending as much time as she could with the pro while Katsuki begrudgingly went back to Best Jeanist,who Bakugo secretly respected. Their second year was full of even more pain and tears than the previous year,especially since Katsuki found himself jealous of Shinso,who had begun to spend a lot of time with (First Name) after he had moved into the hero course. Katsuki eventually got over his anxiety that the girl would leave him,but only after she had confessed to him. He didn’t reject her,though he did tell her that he didn’t plan on dating her until after he became a pro hero. (First Name) had happily agreed,promising that she wouldn’t ‘run off with another man’ anytime soon. 

During their third year,(First Name) quit the sports festival after Shoto ended up accidentally hurting her. Katsuki had sworn to get revenge on ‘that damn half-and-half’,though he didn’t say it aloud. He did win against Shoto again,though it led to him exhausting his Quirk too much for him to beat Deku,landing him in second place while Todoroki took third and Deku took first. Katsuki was angry that Deku had beaten him,but his smugness in getting revenge outweighed most of his anger,a fact that was glaringly obvious to the class despite how desperately Katsuki had tried to hide it. Katsuki had decided he would partner with (First Name) when they graduated so they could open their own hero agency,the boy stubbornly refusing the idea of becoming Best Jeanist’s sidekick. Despite his admiration for Jeanist,Katsuki had refused the male’s offer to work for him,claiming that he ‘couldn’t stand wearing jeans all the time’. (First Name) had been planning on becoming Hinagiku’s sidekick for a while to get some more experience,but she dropped the idea the second Katsuki told her they’d open an agency together. 

Their graduation was full of tears,(First Name) listening as Nezu gave his speech. Once the official ceremony was over,the class went to their classroom for the final time to listen to Aizawa. 

“You are all problem children,but you guys have definitely become my most favorite class by far.”  The teacher said,rubbing the back of his neck. Nearly all of the class crowded around to hug him,making the usually ‘stoic and lazy’ teacher tear up a little. He wasn’t one to cry in front of people,let alone his graduated students,but he couldn’t help it. He loved everyone in his class except for Mineta,after all. 

They all eventually dispersed to say their temporary goodbyes,all of them knowing this wouldn’t be the last time they’d all meet up. 

“(First Name),we’ll see each-other soon,right?” Uraraka asked between sniffles,(First Name) nodding as she patted her friend’s back. 

“Of course we will,Ochaco.. Be careful while you’re working with Gunhead,okay?” (First Name) told her,smiling brightly even though she was tearing up as well. 

“You’re gonna keep working with Katsuki,right? Be careful..” Momo warned her,(First Name) just laughing. 

“I know my limits,Momo,but thank you. Let’s meetup for coffee soon,okay?” (First Name) asked,Momo nodding and letting out a sniffle. 

“Just.. Just keep rocking,(First Name).” Jiro said,her cheeks a bit pink. She had grown closer to (First Name) over the years,but she could never get used to being completely open about her emotions. 

“You too,Kyouya. I’ll be looking forward to hearing about you.” (First Name) said,ruffling her hair. Jiro just nodded,clearly embarrassed. 

One by one,the classmates exchanged their ‘goodbyes’,ending in almost every crying. (First Name) even saw Hitoshi sniffling into his scarf,but the girl didn’t tease him about it. Her beloved classmates had earned many names over the years,but her favorite would always be ‘problem children’. She hadn’t understood it well until she was saying goodbye to everyone that day,but (First Name) understood for the first time in her entire life that there were many types of love. 

‘Cause I'm scared enough 

It took three years for Katsuki to rise to being the No.2 hero,the only one above him being Deku. While Katsuki kept focusing solely on his career as a hero,(First Name) handled most of the paperwork and the ‘weak’ jobs. Katsuki had yet to properly even ask her out,but rumors circulated constantly about whether or not the two were going to get together. 

(First Name) sighed as she sat in the diner,waiting on Uraraka,Jiro,and Momo to arrive with Mina. She had invited the rest of the girls that had been in their class,but the others were too busy to show up. The girls met up frequently to discuss their partners,though it always boiled down to them just angrily rambling about how stupid men could be sometimes. 

Momo was the first to arrive,the girls talking about random stuff until the remainder of their friends arrived. 

“Sorry I’m late! Deku was being annoying again.” Uraraka sighed as she walked over to the table,(First Name) covering her mouth to stop herself from laughing. 

“I don’t think I’ll ever get used to hearing you roast him.” (First Name) admitted,Momo nodding in agreement as she giggled. 

“Well I love him to death,but he’s a moron sometimes.. He spent a bunch of money on this limited edition All Might poster he found online!” Uraraka said as she sat down,sighing. “He’s so careless with money!” 

“Ochaco,you two are rich now,so just enjoy it.” Momo said,sighing. “You won’t believe what Shoto did,though..”

“Ooh,what did he do?” Mina asked,eager to hear the gossip. 

“He tried to make a hot tub using his Quirk! The poor gardener was nearly crying when he realized he’d have to replant all of our flowers because they caught on fire!” Momo complained,(First Name) giggling as she shook her head. 

“That’s just Shoto being Shoto,though. Listen to what Denki did,though. You ready?” Kyouka asked,ready to tell them all about her boyfriend’s idiotic deeds. When her friends agreed to listen,she let out a laugh. “He short circuited while we were out shopping because he sneezed too hard. One minute I’m trying to figure out what to make for dinner,the next I have to drag him out of the stuffed animal section because he’d gone into ‘whey’ mode!” She said,the others laughing at her complaints. 

“You think that’s bad? Try dating Kirishima! The only shoes he wears when he’s not working are crocs! It’s killing me!” Mina complained,the others agreeing that Mina was worse off than Kyouka was. 

“I can easily beat all of you.” (First Name) said,sighing. “Katsuki still has yet to even ask me out on a single date! I thought he was taking me on one earlier this month,but we just went to meet up with Iida because he had information Katsuki wanted!” 

“Katsuki really needs to hurry up,it’s starting to get ridiculous..” Mina said,feeling bad for her friend. 

“You two have known one another since you were kids,so I don’t understand why he’s so against dating you.” Ochaco said,pity in her eyes. 

“If Denki was like that,I wouldn’t have been able to handle it.. It’s amazing you have so much patience,(First Name)..” Kyouka complimented,(First Name) shaking her head as she pouted.

“Why don’t we all go out and buy some stuff? I’ll pay for all of us.” Momo offered,holding up her credit card. The woman and her boyfriend were both rich,so they were always eager to spoil their friends. (First Name) agreed to go with them,though she sighed when her phone buzzed. She stared at the screen,annoyed that Katsuki had texted her while she was out. 

Come to the agency,there’s an important mission. 

(First Name) sighed as she stood up,apologizing to the girls. “Duty calls,I guess.. Sorry,you guys..”

“We all know how it is,so don’t worry about it.” Momo said,laughing a little. “Good luck.” 

“Have fun! We’ll meet up with you again sometime soon!” Mina told her,grinning. (First Name) nodded and hugged them all goodbye before leaving,annoyed that her day off had been ruined. 

When (First Name) arrived at the agency,she wasn’t surprised to see a pissed off Katsuki shouting at one of their ‘guests’. 

“Katsuki,what’s happening?” (First Name) asked as she walked over,the blond ignoring her until she grabbed his ear and repeated her question. 

“This bastard said that you’ve been requested for a mission!” Katsuki said,swatting her hand away and glaring a little at her. 

“So? We get requests for help all the time.” (First Name) said,sighing. 

“He said I can’t go with you.” Katsuki said. “Even though you’re my sidekick,you’re the one they’re requesting.” 

“So? It’s probably not that serious.” (First Name) said,sighing as she turned to the man. 

“We found the League of Villains.” The man told her. “You’ve been chosen to help us apprehend them since your Quirk works well. Unfortunately,Ground Zero’s Quirk would cause trouble,so he can’t come.”

“Is Tomura there?” (First Name) asked,her eyes narrowing slightly. The girl had a vendetta against Shigaraki,mainly since the man had nearly destroyed Hinagiku’s agency right before she had graduated. 

“We believe so.” The man said,Katsuki clenching his fists. 

“You’re not seriously going to go and work with a bunch of extras,right!?” The blond asked,grabbing her collar angrily. “You’re not gonna be that reckless,right?!” 

“Of course I’m going to work with them! I’m a hero,you moron!” (First Name) snapped,shoving him back and sighing. “Listen,I’m not fighting with you over this. I’m going to help capture Tomura. You don’t need to be involved every single time the League makes a move.” She said,Katsuki’s temper on the verge of exploding. Instead of shouting at her,the boy just stomped off,(First Name) sighing as she ran a hand through her hair. 

“Pro hero Invisible Girl and pro hero Froppy will be there as well,along with a few other young heroes.” The man said,(First Name) nodding. 

“I’m assuming this is going to be a stealth mission,then?” She asked. 

“Yes. We’re trying to capture Shigaraki,which means we’ll need as much secrecy as possible until we have him secured.” The man said,(First Name) listening as he went over the plan. It boiled down to (First Name),Tooru,and Asui sneaking in and capturing Tomura,while Shoto and Deku took out the other members of the League. 

“Why are we keeping the numbers so small? The League has numbers on us.” (First Name) asked curiously,staring at him. 

“There will be other pros coming,but you guys are the main force we’re sending in. We believe that you,Froppy,and Invisible Girl will be able to apprehend Shigaraki without much help,and that Shoto and Deku will be able to apprehend Dabi and Toga. The rest of the pros assisting us will be apprehending the remainder of the League.” The man explained calmly,(First Name) nodding. 

“I’m in.” She said calmly,Katsuki listening from around the corner. “So when do we move in on them?” 

“In two days,when all of the League is supposed to meet again.” The man told her,(First Name) nodding and shaking his hand. 

“I’ll see you then.” She said,the man nodding and leaving. 

Katsuki was livid,though the hotheaded boy didn’t lose his temper. Being kept out of a mission simply because he was too loud of a fighter pissed him off,especially when Deku and Shoto would be there. The fact that his soulmate would be working ‘alone’ made him anxious,too. He would never admit it aloud,but he had grown used to fighting with (First Name) at his side. The girl was always behind him,giving him her support,and he was always shoving her forward in turn. The idea of her not having his support during a fight against the people he hated most scared him. 

To give my heart to you again

Two days passed by in a flash,and (First Name) was beyond pissed at Katsuki since the male had been avoiding her. 

“Katsuki,why the hell are you avoiding me like this over a mission?!” She asked the boy. She needed to leave soon,but her patience had run out. 

“I haven’t been avoiding you! Only cowards run away from idiots like you!” Katsuki snapped angrily,(First Name) glaring at him. 

“Seriously? You’ve been walking out of every room I’ve gone in!” She snapped,the blond scoffing. 

“We can talk about this later.” Katsuki said,pushing her away and sighing. 

“And you promise you won’t run away from me when I get back?” (First Name) asked,staring up at him seriously. 

“I already told you,only a coward would run away from an idiot like you.” Katsuki muttered,rubbing the back of his neck. “Just get going before I get pissed off again.” 

“I’ll be back before you know it.” (First Name) grinned up at him,knowing that the boy was trying his best to say that he trusted her to come home to him. She pulled him down to her height and quickly pressed a kiss to his cheek,before she pulled back and winked at the now blushing boy. He just looked away and let out a ‘tch’ as the girl left,a tiny smile on his face. The two had practically been ‘dating’ for years,but he wouldn’t ask her out until he was stronger than Deku. 

Hours passed before Katsuki got the news that his soulmate had disappeared. 

“Kacchan,please,calm down!” Deku begged Katsuki,who was ready to blast Deku out of his way. 

“Move,you damn Deku! I’ll kill you,you damn icyhot!” Katsuki roared,trying to shove Deku out of his way. Iida was holding Katsuki back as well. 

“It’s not Shoto’s fault! (First Name) disappeared because Tooru and Asui weren’t able to contain Kurogiri!” Deku said,Katsuki trying to jerk his arm out of Iida’s group. 

“I’ll fucking kill them,then!” Katsuki yelled angrily,Hitoshi sighing as he knocked Katsuki out. 

“We need to hurry up and figure out where (First Name) was taken before this idiot really does turn into a villain.” The purple-haired boy said,Deku holding Katsuki up. 

“Kacchan’s a good person,and you know that,Hitoshi.” Deku said,sighing as he hoisted his friend over his shoulder. 

“Katsuki reacted roughly how I thought he would,which is the only reason I came to this place.” Hitoshi said,Todoroki nodding silently. 

Every morning wake up broken 

Katsuki woke up the next morning,groaning as he sat up. His mind was a little foggy,but he instantly realized he was in his bedroom. He looked around in confusion,his memories coming back to him quickly. He stormed out of his room in his fury,finding Hitoshi and Deku brainstorming in his living room. 

“WHAT DO YOU BASTARDS THINK YOU’RE DOING?!” Katsuki screamed,Hitoshi covering his ears with a groan. “YOU LET (FIRST NAME) GET KIDNAPPED,AND YOU THINK IT’S A GOOD TIME TO JUST SIT AROUND?!” 

“Kacchan,calm down! We already got a lead on where she is!” Deku said,Katsuki calming down a little at that. Katsuki knew that getting angry wouldn’t get her back any sooner,but he was still pissed off.

“How’d you get a lead?” Katsuki asked,sighing as he watched Hitoshi lower his hands.

“I used my Quirk on the guy Shoto caught. He told me that Shigaraki had another base hidden off to the side. All we have to do is gather enough people to storm it.” Hitoshi told him calmly. 

“Tell me where it is,Hitoshi. I’m not waiting around for some useless extras to come!” Katsuki snapped,Hitoshi shaking his head. 

“Kacchan,we can’t storm it alone. If they wanted to,they could use her as a hostage and we wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. We need a lot of people there to overwhelm them before they can hurt her.” Deku said,Katsuki glaring.

“I can kill all of those bastards on my own!” The blond snapped angrily,clenching his fists. 

“And then you’d be no better than them. We’re heroes,so we can’t go out and kill people,even if they’re villains.” Hitoshi pointed out,rubbing his temples as he tried to keep himself calm. 

“And what if they’re hurting her right now?!” Katsuki asked angrily,Deku clenching his fists. 

“Do you think any of us are happy right now,Kacchan? We’re all terrified about what they might be doing to her,but the only thing we can do right now is try to get her back.” The green-haired boy said. 

“You have no fucking clue how I feel right now,you damn Deku! If that was chubbycheeks,you wouldn’t be sitting here!” Katsuki snapped angrily,Deku punching him. 

“Don’t bring Ochaco into this,Kacchan! She has nothing to do with this!” Deku shouted,Hitoshi just using his scarf to immobilize the two before they could start fighting. 

“That’s enough,you two. You’re right,(First Name) could very well be in pain right now,but that’s exactly why we need to prepare thoroughly and get her back in one piece. If you two fight each-other like morons,we’ll have to postpone saving her even longer.” The purple-haired male said,Deku and Katsuki slowly calming themselves down. 

“Just give me the plan,you bastard.” Katsuki said when he had finally calmed down enough to listen,sitting across the table from Hitoshi.

“All she has to do is hold out for three days while we wait for Shoto to finish healing and wait for the others to arrive. We attack on day four,and we’ll be taking all of the League that day,not just one member.” Deku said,sitting across from Katsuki. Katsuki nodded,though it pissed him off that his soulmate would have to wait so long for rescue.

Katsuki spent day one angrily going over plans with Deku,who spent the night to ensure Katsuki wouldn’t run off in the middle of the night. 

Smile but inside I know it 

Day two began with Katsuki angrily making Deku and himself breakfast without saying much to his rival. After they finished eating,Katsuki went on patrol with him,and the people in their area seemed surprised to see them together. They avoided interacting too much with the citizens,though Katsuki did give a kid a fake smile as he gave her his autograph. 

Saying that it's just a moment 

Day three began with Katsuki waking up after an anxiety attack,the boy rushing to Deku when he realized that his soulmark was starting to fade a little. 

“We need to go now,you damn Deku!” Katsuki shouted,shaking the sleeping boy angrily. 

“Kacchan..? What’s going on?” Deku asked tiredly,looking up at him in confusion. 

“Look,you fucking dumbass!” Katsuki shouted,holding up his wrist to show the mark. Deku’s eyes widened and he sat all the way upright,grabbing Katsuki’s wrist and pulling it closer to his face in order to confirm that it was fading. 

“Does.. Does that mean she’s dying..?” Deku asked anxiously,Katsuki jerking away. 

“We’re going right now. Call everyone and tell them to meet us near the building immediately. Fuck the people that haven’t gotten here yet.” Katsuki ordered,Deku nodding. They would have to change part of their plan around in order to make the rescue go as smoothly as possible,but Deku wouldn’t argue with Katsuki over going to save her now. He wasn’t sure what a fading mark meant since he’d never seen one fade before,but he had a bad feeling about it. 

The hour it took to arrive at the manor felt like an eternity,and waiting for the others to arrive was torture. Momo and Shoto were the first to arrive after Deku and Katsuki,the girl getting anxious as well when she saw Katsuki’s fading soulmark. 

“I could make isoflurane ‘bombs’ and set them off in the vents.. It’d knock everyone inside out for roughly an hour.” Momo said,Deku shaking his head. 

“We can’t risk doing that. If someone inhales too much of it,they could die.” The green-haired boy said. “We stick to the plan. Kyouka will give us intel before Kacchan blasts in using his Quirk,and then Shoto will freeze them. Ochaco will float the people we knock out outside,and you’ll make handcuffs while Denki periodically ‘tazzes’ them using his Quirk to keep them down. Mina will help you guys in case there is one with a Quirk resistant to Denki’s electrocution. Kirishima,Kacchan,Iida,Hitoshi,Shoto,and me will all be facing off against the League,but our primary goal is rescuing (First Name).” He recapped. The others soon arrived,and they all recited their plan one last time,before Katsuki blasted the door open and the battle began. 

Shoto sent his ice out,watching as Deku,Katsuki,and Iida charged in. Iida focused on dispatching the people the ice hadn’t reached,while Deku began to knock people out and Katsuki blasted the doors to all of the rooms open. He narrowly avoided an attack from Toga,jumping back just on time to dodge. 

“Kirishima,it’s Toga!” Katsuki shouted,the red-head grinning as he confronted the girl. Since he could harden,Toga wouldn’t be able to stab him,so she’d be useless against Kirishima. 

“Leave it to me!” Kirishima shouted,Katsuki nodding before blasting another door open. Compress reached out to try and grab him,Kurogiri beside him,and Katsuki blasted them both back. 

“Icyhot,it’s your turn.” He said,Shoto nodding as he froze the two into place. 

“Keep moving forward.” The dual-haired boy said calmly,Katsuki smirking. 

“Kacchan,Jiro says there’s some kind of soundproofing going on in the basement.” Deku warned the blond,who just continued making his way through the building. 

Things went well until they made it to the basement,where Katsuki froze when he saw (First Name) run from him into another room. 

“(First Name),come back! We’re here to save you!” Deku said,heading towards the room she’d disappeared into. Katsuki jerked him out of the way when the door was blasted open by Spinner,who was shocked that the blond had figured out it was just a clone. 

“How’d you know!?” The man asked,Katsuki landing on the ground with Deku tucked under his arm. He dropped the green-haired boy,glaring at Spinner. 

“I’ve seen that Quirk in battle plenty of times,and I know (First Name) would never run from me like that!” Katsuki snarled. “Now just die already!” He yelled,ready to send a large blast at him until Deku reminded him that they didn’t know where (First Name) was. “Then you take him out,you damn Deku!” 

“Of course,Kacchan! Keep moving.” Deku said,rushing towards Spinner. It didn’t take long for him to incapacitate him,Hitoshi coming downstairs soon after. 

“The blond said that (First Name)’s being kept in the last room on the far right!” The purple-haired male called out,Katsuki smirking. 

“Then I can just blast my way there!” The blond boy said as he charged through the rooms while Deku confronted Shigaraki and Hitoshi mind-controlled Twice to stop him from using his Quirk. 

Katsuki arrived at the room (First Name) was supposed to be in,blasting the door open. The girl was tied to a chair,covered in deep cuts and dark bruises. Katsuki was terrified,thinking she might not be alive at all,until he saw her chest move. 

“(First Name),wake up.. Come on,you’ve gotta wake up..” The blond said gently as he began to untie her. Once she was free of her bindings,the girl just fell forward,Katsuki catching her in his arms immediately before standing up and rushing out of the room. 

“Hey,you got he-.. Fuck,that’s a lot of blood..” Kirishima trailed off as the blond ran by him,glad he had already knocked Toga out. He hurriedly followed Katsuki,who was busy shouting at Kyouka about getting the police to make their appearance as Momo tried to focus on making the medical supplies they’d need to stop the bleeding. 

“Kacchan,let me take her.” Deku said as he walked outside. 

“No fucking way!” Katsuki shouted,the green-haired boy glaring. 

“Whether you like it or not,I’m faster than you! I can get her to the hospital faster than an ambulance could make it here!” Deku shouted. Katsuki held (First Name) tighter,before he reluctantly handed her over to Deku. 

“You’d better fucking get her there safely,you damn Deku..” Katsuki muttered,Deku nodding. 

“Take care of things here. Shoto has Tomura taken care of for now.” The green-haired boy said,using One For All to speed off. 

Katsuki arrived at the hospital two hours later,after overseeing the safe transportation of the villains to Tartarus. He had wanted to speed off to the hospital to see how (First Name) was doing,but he had to put his work as a hero first. The second he was done,he disappeared to the hospital before anyone could even offer him a ride there. 

“How’s she doing,Deku?” Katsuki asked as he rushed over to the boy,who held him back from entering the emergency room.

“She’s being treated right now. Recovery Girl has already healed her as best as she could for now,but she’s not doing too good. The doctor said that we just have to wait for now.” Deku said,Katsuki clenching his fists. He wanted to blast everyone out of his way so he could see (First Name) himself,so he could shout at her for letting herself get hurt,but he held himself back. 

“Fucking hell..” Katsuki just sighed,collapsing into a chair and running a hand through his hair. “She’ll be fine,right?” 

“Of course she’ll be fine..” Deku said. Truth be told,the boy didn’t know if the girl would be fine. The doctors weren’t sure if she’d been given any sort of drugs or anything,but Hitoshi had texted him earlier to inform him that a ‘Quirk-erasing serum’ had been used on her,but that the League hadn’t been sure whether it was a permanent or semi-permanent one. Deku wouldn’t bring that up to Katsuki for now,just looking at the blond with a frown. Katsuki was staring at his wrist,running his thumb over his soulmark anxiously.

I tell myself that I’ll be all good 

Most of their old classmates soon arrived at the hospital,piling into the waiting room and taking seats. Most of the couples sat together,but Kirishima sat beside Katsuki when Deku went to the bathroom. 

“How are you holding up,Katsuki?” Kirishima asked,Katsuki just shaking his head as he buried his face in his hands. 

“I don’t want to talk right now,shitty hair.” The blond said quietly,Kirishima getting an idea. The red-head stood up,knowing exactly how to ease the tension. He dragged Denki out of the room and forced him to discharge his electricity,shoving the boy back into the waiting room once he went into his ‘whey’ mode. Everyone stared at them in shock,before nearly everyone began to laugh when they remembered how Katsuki had done the same years prior. 

“You.. You idiot!” Kyouka laughed,clutching her stomach as she scolded her boyfriend,who just let out another ‘whey’ as he scooted around the room. Katsuki just stared at him,though he did relax a tiny bit at how much calmer everyone else seemed. 

“Is anyone here for (First Name) (Last Name)?” A nurse asked as she walked out. The entire group crowded around her instantly to question her about (First Name)’s condition. 

“How’s she doing?” Katsuki asked her,not bothering to hide how anxious he was. 

“She’s stable,but she’s come down with a horrible fever,so it’s best that everyone leave.” The nurse reassured him,his voice gentle and soothing. 

“Let me see her. She’s my soulmate,I won’t get sick.” Katsuki demanded,the nurse shaking his head. 

“Absolutely not. I understand that her being here makes you anxious,but she could be contagious.” The man said,Katsuki letting out a growl. 

“I’m the number two hero,Ground Zero. If you don’t let me see her,I’ll get your medical license revoked.” The blond threatened,the nurse sighing and moving to the side. The others followed Katsuki into the room,much to the male’s annoyance. (First Name) was on a ventilator. She was gasping for air,her face flushed from how severe her fever had become. Katsuki walked over and grabbed her hand,squeezing it gently. 

“Kacchan,it’s probably a bad idea to get that close..” Deku pointed out,the blond giving him a harsh glare before sitting down beside his soulmate. 

“If you don’t want to get close,then get the fuck out of here. I’m not leaving until she’s better.” Katsuki said seriously. 

“But last time she was this sick it took a week for her fever to break,and even longer for her to be released..” Deku pointed out nervously,squeezing Ochaco’s hand. 

“So? It doesn’t matter whether or not I work for a week or two,my area is overcrowded by heroes anyways,so someone else can handle it if anything bad happens.” Katsuki snapped. It was his roundabout way of requesting help,but the boy couldn’t bring himself to ask properly,which the others understood instantly. 

“Just stay with (First Name),then,but please remember to eat.” Kirishima said. “You always shut down when she’s injured..” 

“Shut up,shittyhair.” Katsuki muttered,pulling (First Name)’s hand to his face as he pressed a gentle kiss to the back of it. 

“You two should just get married already.” Denki joked,making the others laugh a little. He had already snapped out of his ‘whey’ form,but his dumbass antics still comforted the others in a way. 

“Shut up,dunceface.. Just get out already.” Katsuki muttered,the others filing out slowly until Katsuki was left alone in the room with (First Name). He squeezed her hand tightly,just laying his head on the edge of the hospital bed and shutting his eyes. He rarely ever bowed his head and prayed,but he found himself praying. 

But I just want this to be over 

Katsuki spent the first day after (First Name)’s hospitalization right by her side,the boy refusing to leave her side until he realized he reeked of sweat. He went home and showered before he immediately returned to the hospital,sitting by her side and holding her hand tightly. Her fever was only getting worse,and Katsuki couldn’t help but be pissed at the doctors,even though he knew they were doing the best they could. He just wanted all of this to be over already. 

If only I could show you 

Katsuki spent the second day after (First Name)’s hospitalization on the phone with his mother,explaining that (First Name) was just having another one of her ‘sick attacks’ as he liked to call them. He wasn’t sure why her Quirk was attacking her,and the boy nearly blew up his phone when he got the news from Ochaco that her Quirk had supposedly been erased. He didn’t understand what was happening,and it terrified him. He just wanted to show her a happy,peaceful life. 

Would I be the only one 

Katsuki spent the third day after (First Name)’s hospitalization discussing things with Hitoshi,who had gone to interview Shigaraki. Apparently the reason why Katsuki’s soulmark had begun to fade was because (First Name) had either temporarily or permanently lost her Quirk because of one of the old ‘Quirk-erasing bullets’ Shigaraki had stolen from Overhaul back when they were first-years at U.A.,and the high fever she was suffering from was probably the result of the stressful conditions she had been under. The only reason Shigaraki had left her alive was because they had been planning on using her to get Dabi back from the heroes,which just served to further piss Katsuki off. He just wanted to know why (First Name) was the one the villains had taken as a hostage. 

The only one that you could trust 

Katsuki spent the fourth day after (First Name)’s hospitalization in a state of shock after the girl’s fever had finally broken. He had left the hospital for a while to buy a present for her,and he was filled with relief when the doctor informed him that she should start to look better now that her fever had gone down. He just wanted to know how much (First Name) had suffered,and whether or not she had trusted him to come save her. 

I didn't know we would be here but now we are 

Katsuki spent the fifth day after (First Name) hospitalization by her side,the girl finally waking up after Katsuki had already dozed off. He’d spent most of the previous night awake,so he had decided to take a little nap. 

“Ka.. tsuki..?” (First Name) asked softly,coughing a bit as she took a few deep breaths. She could hardly speak,her throat feeling unbelievably dry. She forced herself upright and looked down at the sleeping boy,looking around the room. He was gripping her right hand as he slept,his head on the edge of the bed. She gently put her hand on his head,running her fingers through his hair. Katsuki let out a slight grumble but pressed into her hand,the boy snapping awake when he realized what feeling her hand on his head meant. He sat straight up and stared at her in shock,the girl just waving awkwardly. “Morning,I guess..?” 

“You’re finally awake..” Katsuki said,his eyes filling with tears. He wiped them away quickly,before he pulled the ventilator mask off of her face and kissed her. (First Name) froze up,the blond pulling away and staring at her. “The next time you try to go on a mission without me,you’d better not expect me to let you go!” He said,smirking when he saw how flustered she looked. 

“Al.. Alright..” (First Name) said,looking away with red cheeks. Katsuki couldn’t help but let out a genuine laugh at how cute her reaction was,throwing his head back as he did so. 

I didn't know I would fall for you this hard 

A week after (First Name) was officially released from the hospital,Katsuki was still treating her like porcelain,glaring at anyone who got close to her. Despite that,he agreed to let her go to a party with the rest of their old classmates. Momo had insisted on hosting the party as a celebration of (First Name)’s return,though (First Name) had yet to regain her Quirk. 

“Katsuki,it’s about time we get going,don’t you think?” (First Name) asked with a sigh,the boy brushing her hair for her. 

“Shut up and stay still,you dumbass. I’m nearly done with your hair.” Katsuki said,the girl just pouting as she sat there. She had chosen to wear a (Favorite Color) hoodie and a pair of shorts,mainly since she didn’t really feel like dressing up. Even though the party was supposed to be ‘formal’,(First Name) preferred to dress casually. 

It took Katsuki five minutes to finish his soulmate’s hair,the boy then picking her up and carrying her to the limo that was waiting outside while ignoring her complaints about how she could walk. Shoto had sent the limo after Momo had told him to ‘send a vehicle’. 

An hour went by like a flash,Katsuki and (First Name) both falling asleep in the limo. They woke up when the driver opened the door for them,the man motioning at the ridiculously luxurious mansion that was Todorki and Momo’s shared home. 

“I will never get used to how ridiculously rich those two are.” Katsuki muttered,(First Name) laughing as she walked to the front door. A maid let the two in,(First Name) looking around with a laugh. Everyone was already there,the girls in dresses and the boys in suits. 

“(First Name)! I thought I told you that this would be a formal party?!” Momo whined,(First Name) just laughing at her. 

“Sorry,Momo,but I’m more comfortable in a hoodie.” (First Name) said,Momo dragging her off while telling Kirishima to get Katsuki into a suit. 

“There’s no way in hell that I’m wearing a suit.” Katsuki growled,ready to blast his friend’s face off. 

“Sorry bro,but everyone has to be in formal clothes right now or I think Momo will pop a blood vessel.” Kirishima said. 

“Katsuki,how has (First Name) been?” Hitoshi asked calmly. 

“She’s been-” Katsuki answered,Hitoshi using his Quirk and ordering Katsuki to go put a suit on. 

Half an hour later,Hitoshi finally released his Quirk,smirking at Katsuki since the other had fallen for such a simple trick. “For someone supposedly smart,you’re pretty dumb.” He said. 

“Shut the fuck up,you brainwashing bastard!” Katsuki shouted,grabbing Hitoshi by the collar as he prepared to blast him in the face. He fell silent when he heard another door open,his eyes widening when he saw (First Name) in a (Favorite Color) dress. Yuuga and Mina had curled her hair for her,the girl completely flustered as she stood there. 

“Um.. H.. How do I look?” She asked nervously,looking at Katsuki,who released Hitoshi immediately. The blond cleared his throat and looked off to the side to hide his blush,the boy rubbing the back of his neck. 

“You.. You look really pretty.” Katsuki admitted,(First Name)’s face heating up even more at the compliment. Katsuki had never exactly called her ugly before,but he’d never called her pretty either,so she didn’t know how to react. Luckily,the other girls reacted for her,squealing and jumping around. The boys were all laughing at their reaction,Katsuki shouting at everyone to shut up. He was embarrassed they had heard him call his soulmate pretty,but his friends didn’t listen to his shouting. 

They spent the night talking and dancing with each-other,Katsuki refusing to let any of the boys dance with (First Name). Although the girl had never been trained in dancing,Katsuki held her hand tightly as they danced throughout the room,a tiny smile on his face as he held her close to him. 

I didn't know we would be here but now we are 

Katsuki was never one to do things in the proper order. He did things how he wanted to,and everyone had always been forced to accept that as part of his personality. Two days after the party,Katsuki decided it was time to give (First Name) the present he’d bought her while she was in the hospital. 

“Katsuki,why the hell are you so anxious?” Kirishima asked his friend,who let out a ‘tch’. 

“Remember what dunceface said when (First Name) was in the hospital?” Katsuki asked after a few minutes,Kirishima struggling to think about what the hell Denki could have said back then that would make Katsuki anxious now. 

“Not really.. What’d he say?” Kirishima admitted,looking at him curiously. 

“He said (First Name) and I should ‘get married already’.” Katsuki said,Kirishima choking on the takoyaki he had been eating. The redhead eventually coughed up the piece he’d been choking on,turning and looking at his friend in disbelief. 

“You.. You’re seriously thinking of proposing to her?!” Kirishima asked,Katsuki nodding. 

“I’m doing it tonight,shittyhair.” Katsuki said,Kirishima shaking his head and groaning. 

“Katsuki,you haven’t even properly asked her out yet,have you?” The redhead asked. 

“What’s the big deal about it? I would’ve asked her out after we became pro heroes,but I’d promised I would only ask her out after I became number one. I never said I wouldn’t propose to her.” Katsuki said,Kirishima just throwing his head back as he laughed at his friend. 

“I guess that’s a fair point,but I didn’t think you,of all the people in our class,would get engaged first.. Damn,now I wanna propose to Mina ‘cause it’s super manly..” Kirishima told him,Katsuki glaring. 

“I’m definitely proposing first,so don’t even think about it! (First Name) and I are gonna get married first,too!” The blond snapped,Kirishima laughing at how competitive he was. 

“Alright,alright.. I’ll wait a few weeks to propose to Mina,then.” The redhead said,Katsuki seeming satisfied with that.  

That night,Katsuki found himself unable to ask (First Name) to marry him,so the boy just slid the ring onto her finger while she was asleep. He woke up the next morning to find her in a panic,which made him smirk. 

“Katsuki,why the fuck is there an engagement ring on my hand?” (First Name) asked,Katsuki chuckling. 

“Because we’re engaged now.” Katsuki said,holding up his own hand to show off the simple ring around his own finger. 

“You didn’t even ask!” (First Name) said,staring at him in disbelief. 

“Would you have turned me down if I had?” Katsuki asked,smirking since he already knew what she’d say. 

“Of course I wouldn’t have turned you down,but that’s not the point! You can’t just put a ring on my finger and say we’re engaged! My parents will kill me! We haven’t even officially dated!” (First Name)  whined,Katsuki just laughing. 

“I told you back when we were still students that we couldn’t date until I became number one,and as much as I hate to admit it,Deku has secured his place as the number one hero,and I can’t take that from him anytime soon. So,instead of breaking my word,I think it’s best we just get married,no?” He asked,the girl whining and pouting about how unfair it was that he always just did what he wanted without asking. Katsuki sighed at that,grabbing her hand and sliding the ring off. 

“What are you doing..?!” (First Name) asked,the boy sliding off the bed and kneeling down. 

“Will you marry me,(First Name)?” Katsuki asked,the girl just staring at him before she laughed and nodded. 

“All you had to do was ask,you dumbass!” She said happily,the boy chuckling as he slid the ring back onto her finger and gave her a kiss. 

The public was surprised when news broke out that pro heroes Ground Zero and Swap were officially engaged,but nobody was as shocked as all of their friends were. 

I didn't know that love could tear me apart 

A year passed by before the wedding came,and Katsuki had taken his sweet time choosing what he should say in his vows. When the door opened and he saw his soon-to-be-wife in her wedding dress,he found himself suddenly unable to keep his composure,staring at her with absolute adoration painted on his face. He would gladly let this woman tear him apart if she wanted to. 

Are you scared of love? 

‘Cause I'm scared of love

“(First Name),I have a lot that I want to say,but it pisses me off that all of these dumbasses have to be around when I say them.” Katsuki said,chuckling a little as he looked down at the girl. “When we were younger,I was too much of a coward to understand that the best way for me to protect you is by staying by your side.. I thought that people would try to attack you because you’re my soulmate,but that shit doesn’t matter.. I wasted the majority of my life shoving you away because I was a coward,but I’m not ashamed of the fact that I always loved you,even back then.” The blond admitted,blushing a bit at having to admit the fact that he loved her so much. “I was wondering my whole life whether or not you were afraid of falling in love,but looking back at it now,I realize I’m the one who was scared of love.. I love you so much that it terrifies me.” He trailed off,his face burning as he looked down at her. She was absolutely perfect in his eyes. 

Am I good enough for you? 

Are you scared of love?

“Katsuki,I won’t lie and say I only realized I loved you after we started highschool.. I fell in love with you the day I met you,even if that’s cheesy.. You’ve never once changed,and yet you’re always changing,and I could never resent you for being yourself,but it became really fucking annoying to be pushed away.. So after we started becoming closer again,I was really,really happy.. Being by your side makes me happy,even if I used to be anxious about whether or not I was good enough for you,and even if you’re always scared of love,I promise I’ll stay by your side. I love you for who you are,and that will never change.” (First Name) told him,squeezing his hand as she smiled up at him. 

‘Cause I'm scared enough 

To give my heart to you again

Katsuki Bakugo and the newly dubbed (First Name) Bakugo sealed their fates with a kiss that day,surrounded by their friends and their old teachers. Mina was the one who caught the bouquet,which made everyone laugh since the girl had been the second one to get engaged. Katsuki just held his wife close the whole time,and danced with her sweetly.
