Horikoshi’s original sketch:

a time travel bkdk au

Deku is hit with a time-travel quirk which causes him to ‘glitch’ in and out of time. Currently he is 28 instead of 16 and making Katsuki lose his shit.

(I might have forgotten to mention that this fic idea has a self-indulgent Deku-bowl, Deku-salad, Deku-dessert, and ofcourse Deku-Katsudon. So please prepare yourself for that beforehand)

Previously- 14 days Part 1

• “Same old Kacchan. You never change, do you?”

• “Who the fuck are you?” , Katsuki snarls in response.

• “It should be obvious. Who else calls you Kacchan? Or would you prefer ‘Bakugou’?”

• Seething, Katsuki rages a bit at Deku for pulling such a headass act (and scaring the bejesus out of him) before All Might and Aizawa catch upto them and Deku completely ignores Katsuki to talk to the adults.

• Katsuki absolutely detests being ignored, and the more he sees of Deku, he is convinced that this older version is not the real Deku. He can’t be. This Deku carries himself with confidence, when he speaks he owns everyone’s attention, he isn’t afraid to talkback to Aizawa or Nedzu, and most importantly when Katsuki insists he isnt Deku, Deku replies that Katsuki isn’t Kacchan either. Deku pointedly calls him Bakugou thereafter.

• In privacy, Deku explains that in the future there will be a dedicated Government department and Pro-Hero collaboration which will handle all cases of time-travel quirks in secrecy. Deku being a hapless victim of one such incident is also a part of it and he is supposed to lay down guidelines of things to do and not to do so as to preserve the integrity of their timeline. They cannot let the future influence the present. Deku informs them that there will be cases where younger versions of him will glitch into the present. In these cases the present Deku gets replaced with the younger version. Although none of the Dekus will ever recall what happened, or what they did in the past or future, they always have the potential to influence people around them. So it is best to contain the incident among few people, and sensitize people around him not to ask too many questions, and even advice Deku himself to refrain from revealing too much if he goes on blubbering. Even Nedzu had come down to talk to future-Deku (who himself had come forward in official capacity from the future government) and they decided it would be best to contain this incident (which will last for more or less 14 days) within the security of the dorms, where everyone knows everyone. By the time this debacle concludes, school would have reopened too, so there would be no issues nor inconveniences. Also it gives a proper time limit for Mirai’s recovery.

• All the adults (which includes Deku since he is 28 and not 17) agree on the terms as well as the need for an emergency set up in the ground floor of the dorms should anything as horrific as the last two time-leaps happens again. Reluctantly, Deku agrees to That condition.

• Katsuki keeps quiet but glowers on Deku nonetheless. Some unsettling feeling keeps him on alert around this Deku. So he keeps a close eye on him to notice any change - but obviously there are too many changes. This Deku isn’t an anxious mess but a steel anchor in a storm, he isn’t jumpy or reckless but chock-filled with cold restless analysis. He is kind of foreboding in a sense. And each one of these glaring differences make Katsuki feel strange. Especially how intensely Deku looks at him. He feels flames lick his chest and lava streaming down to his toes and fingers -and he just can’t name what exactly this feeling is. He chalks it upto suspicion.

• Midoriya Inko is absolutely frantic and flustered to no end. She demands her son back home and almost faints to find Deku so grown up (absolutely no one dares to tell her of the incident at the hospital) Katsuki sulks by the sidelines watching Deku lift his mom and giggle when she pats him embarassedly to let her down, then she rebukes him for making everyone worry. Despite what Katsuki believes, Deku repeatedly proves that he is the real deal, not some phantom of a dead person. But something about Deku feels off the entire time. Like he isn’t being genuine about something.

• Aizawa drops off Katsuki while All Might drops off Deku and Inko. Inko, as usual, drags in All Might and keeps him at home with her kind sweet words and flustered puttering. When Aizawa comes to check in, he simply accepts his fate, succumbs once more to Midoriya Hospitality and decides to stay over the night.

• At night when everyone should be sleeping, Aizawa tries to crunch in some extra official work before he zips himself in his banana sleeping-bag (which has a suspicious smattering of unicorn, rainbow and Apple stickers on it by the courtesy of Eri).But despite turning in, Aizawa is too high strung on tension for sleep to claim him into the void- matters of Mirai, the secrets kept by the government, League of Villains etc sit heavily upon his mind. Soon, he finds an insomniac fellow sufferer in Deku, who seems to be pacing the halls at night. They start talking and Deku tells how he is antsy about not being able to go out and save people during his indefinite stay in his past. Curious, Aizawa asks how long Deku’s suffered from insomnia, and Deku smiles at him with the answer, “Since I was 14”

• Aizawa tries and tries to ignore this itch to know about the future the more he talks to Deku. The man seems to be incredibly knowledgeable not only about the field of heroics but also many other co-dependent industries. But the way Deku talks about such topics seems to be laced with some faint contempt. Aizawa asks something about the future but quickly retracts his question realizing his mistake. Deku simply smiles at him and decides to take the conversation down a different route to make it easier on him, “Say, Aizawa-sensei. Have you ever lost someone close to you?”

• Aizawa raises an eyebrow, “close?”

• “Yeah… I’m not trying to intrude in your private matters though, please don’t misunderstand me!”

• “then what do you mean by close?”

• “I’m not sure….maybe someone like a student?”, Deku chuckles warmly, “And don’t deny it. Your students are pretty close to you aren’t they, sensei?”

• “You are still a problem child even when you are grown up”, Aizawa groans, then returns to Deku’s question

• “Why do you ask?”

• For a moment, Aizawa sees a flash of sombreness cross Deku’s eyes that makes him seem older than 28, “It’s Nothing”, Deku jokes later.

• “Doesn’t sound like nothing. I know that look….Who-”, but Aizawa stops, he knows he cannot ask that. (Whom did you lose, Midoriya?)

• “Does that mean you have lost someone?”, Deku asks back

• Aizawa answers that he has in fact lost an intern to an undercover assignment and that wears down on him heavily. Deku listens to his story attentively, before Aizawa leaves though, Deku asks very cryptically, “Sensei…How far would you go you go to bring them back?”

Day 2 (Monday) - 6th April

• Next day, Deku and All Might are supposed to return to dorms and Aizawa is supposed to escort Katsuki. But Deku has a problem : clothes. His baggy shorts might be passable but his old shirts barely contain him, and he has tried to keep that issue from his mother so that she doesnt fly off into a shopping spree. But when All Might and Deku arrive at U.A., his shirt rips at the seams and All Might brings him to his quarters to see if his old clothes fit. Deku tries to decline the offer but when Dad Might insists, Deku caves. The clothes are comfy, a little loose. Deku gets all teary-faced and comments, “It seems like I won’t ever fit in your clothes”. All Might replies, “But you fit your hero suit, in your time, don’t you? Why would you think that isn’t enough?” and Deku cries a river.

• Katsuki on the other hand has taken upon himself to pointedly ignore Deku when he arrives at the dorms. Since less than 2 weeks are left for a new school year, some students are returning from home-town-internships(HTI) like Kirishima, Ashido Mineta, Tsuyu, Aoyama, Todoroki and Iida. Kaminari, Sero, Shouji, Tokoyami, Jirou and few others also opted to stay behind at the dorms with Katsuki and Deku. Shinsou (yes, he is in class A) moves into the Heights Alliance 2-A. Baku-squad had been preparing for a while to hold a party for his arrival, and when they heard that Katsuki and Midoriya were returning too, they decided to throw a welcome party for all three of them. Todoroki and Iida had hurried back to the dorms ahead of time to meet up with Midoriya and check on him. Uraraka wanted to come too but her return ticket is non-refundable so she promised to come later. Todoroki has a secret talk with Jirou where she tells him about the possibility of Yaoyaorozu being engaged against her will to an heir of a multi-million dollar corporation’s heir and she gives him the idea that he should propose a fake marraige instead to forestall it. Todoroki goes, “oh”.

• When he enters the dorms in the afternoon, Katsuki is swamped with class A’s eagre questions and they begin grilling him about Deku. All Katsuki says is that, “Deku is a fucking old-ass creep who seems to be upto some fucking shady business”. So the students are a bit rattled by that description and prepare themselves mentally to meet someone as old as Recovery girl.

• Needless to say, when Deku actually enters the dorms after leaving All Might’s teacher’s quarters everyone and their grandma is fucking floored. Deku, in one word, is HOT. Everything from his thick thighs, slender waist, broad shoulder, angular cuts to his jaw, the persistently adorable baby fat high on his cheeks, the smattering of darkened freckles from feild work and the drop-dead gorgeous green eyes and curls has everyone in the common room drooling.

• For a few moments, that could have been years, everyone stares at Deku as if he grew two-heads when he actually grew into a fucking delicious heart-throb.

• “Um…hi?”, Deku waves his hand sheepishly at them, and immediately chaos breaks out.

• “Fuck”, Kaminari swears pulling at his hair while Mina fires photo after photo of a flustered Deku from every angle, “EVEN HIS VOICE? Mido, how did you grow pubes on your VOICE?”

• Deku sputters and goes as red as a stop-sign the more people comment on his voice.

• “Sounds like ….”

• “…deep, really deep”

• “….I was gonna say sounds like steroids”

• “…sounds to me like a dom in all leather, hard-core bondage and some serious edgeplay ”, Mineta mumbles with a note of reverence.

• In a flash of green lightning, Deku immediately pulls out his ripped shirt from his bag, shreds it in halves, stuffs one half in Mineta’s mouth and the other to bind his hands, then flings him head first towards the ceiling so that Mineta dangles from it by the sticky balls on his head, gagged. It all happens in seconds, and Deku is panting with a flushed face. But it inadvertently gives everyone a grand show of his flexed physique.

• “Yeah I’m definitely gay now”, Shinsou mutters quite audibly. Katsuki’s head snaps so fast towards him that he gets a pulled muscle. Aoyama claps a hand on Shinsou’s shoulder and winks at him in total approval with a sultry 'Monsieur’

• “Hi-hitoshi!”, Deku bleats.

• Despite the surprise at being called by his first name, the lavender-haired boy says, “What? If you walk in looking like that?” and gestures to all of him, “…Who in their right minds wouldn’t at least question their sexuality?”

• “Not me”, Jirou says, although she is following Ashidos example in moderation. No one seems to catch on except Deku who gives her a disapproving squint.

• As the rest of the class were explained beforehand by the principal in the morning, they know not to ask controversial questions. So their conversation immediately shifts to complimenting and teasing Deku and starting to treat him like he is still 17, something Deku deeply appreciates (but the compliments are too much)

• Katsuki notices a few things- how Deku calls everyone by their first names, but when it comes to him, he calls him Bakugou and that grates on his nerves more than he’d like. Also how Deku’s hand lingers on Shouto’s shoulders, or how he dips his head low to speak to him in whispers, and especially how Red Shouto becomes at that attention.

• Katsuki returns back to the piece and quiet of his dorm but finds himself completely swamped by the details of Deku’s physique that he had been pointedly avoiding for how it makes his skin all hot and itchy. His brain screeches to a halt when he realizes he is borderline obsessing over Deku this, Deku that. And just decides to turn off his brain and sleep.

Day 3 (tuesday) 7th april

• Uraraka arrives early morning at the dorms and by the time she has settled back in and come down, she is greeted by Deku (still 28) in an apron, who has taken upon himself to cook pancakes for all the students still present at the dorms, and her jaw fucking drops. She knew of the situation from Iida, but she wished she had more mental preparation for this moment - because Deku is Hot AF. Deku smiles at her sunnily, even pulls out a chair for her and asks her to take a seat, like a complete gentleman. Ashido comes and whispers, “Ain’t he a total DILF?” and earns a well-deserved smack from Uraraka. The rest of the class trickles in and goes gaga for a beefy Deku in an apron plating up god-send blueberry pancakes in the morning.

• When Deku leans over Uraraka’s chair and waits for her word on his pancakes. In response to his eagre attention, she goes mad pink and stutters till she chokes on pancakes. Deku calmly pats and rubs her back, helps her to some water. The girls (who all know that she has a big crush on him by now) give her wild grins. Uraraka quietly stuffs her red face with more pancakes so that She doesn’t spout something stupid.

• Katsuki had just woken up from sleep and come down for breakfast when he saw Deku rubbing Uraraka’s back and the ensuing drama. After an ugly turn of his stomach lets itself known, he decides to go for a late run and then have his breakfast, when everyone else has finished. To himself he thinks that anything is better than having himself subject to this Deku calling him Bakugou, or watch silently as Deku get mushy and cosy with his friends. He reasons that it is creepy for an older guy to pretend he is 17, but he can’t help wishing that Deku would call him 'Kacchan’ once more. Katsuki just is not in the mood to have that shoved in his face so he leaves, despite that aching hollowness in his chest when he hears someone mention him,( “Isn’t it almost time for Blasty to wake up? He’ll miss out on these divine pancakes!” ) and Deku responds, “Oh, you mean Bakugou? I don’t think he is interested in this sort of breakfast”

• Later, Deku, Iida, Todoroki and Uraraka go out to walk all over the campus and Deku starts showing them secret places all around it since he knows the school better. Todoroki asks if knowning such things might impact the future. Deku ponders on it for a while and says, “Just by knowing things you can’t alter the course of the future, unless you act on your knowledge”. The trio accepts his words. Deku shows them many places, like a cell-tower that overlooks a P.E. field, a lake in middle of the wooded estates, some neat hiding spots and so on.

• Meanwhile Katsuki notices them go into the wooded estate on his last lap through his course.

• At the lake, Deku folds up the hem of his trackpants and wades in. He starts to splash water at the other three and begins an impromptu water fight. They have a lot of fun there, and no one notices Deku drop a small black article into the water.

• At around 9 o clock, Katsuki comes back to the Commons. He goes looking into the fridge for ingredients to cook himself an easy meal when he finds the saran wrapped hot chocolate chilli pancakes inside. It is labelled 'Kacchan’. Katsuki glares at it, possibly debating if it has poison in it or not, or if that thing will pounce on him. Despite his misgivings Katsuki eats it, and begrudgingly admits that it tastes upto par.

(to be continued!)

A time-travel bkdk au

14 Days was the time-travel fic idea that no one asked for, but I needed in my life. So here comes another Long post.

The story is divided into the eponymous 14 Days before the start of 2nd year in U.A. and in this universe Canon divergence takes place after Overhaul arc, which means the OfA awakening did not happen and things are just as tense between Kacchan and Deku as they were fresh off Deku v Kacchan 2. I also have a bad habit of changing narratives please forgive that.

So here’s a draft that never left paper.

• Day Zero (Saturday) – 5th April

• During the holidays between First and Second Year, the class is allowed to take up internships for extra experience. Since the school is still antsy about security of their students, they decide to arrange for internships close to their homes, so that they get to visit family as well as supervise them so that villains dont try any sneaky shit. Students can opt to stay in the dorms during holidays too. Among few others, Deku and Kacchan opt to stay since their homes are close and they don’t want to give up the training facilities of the campus for a visit home. So, for the past weeks, they have been driven down to their homes by Aizawa on each weekend and brought back. (HC : Inko totally adopts Aizawa at first sight and insists to make home-cooked meals for him to take, and Aizawa, despite initial resistance, absolutely succumbs to aggressive Midoriya Hospitality over the weekends.) So the only time Deku and Kacchan spend together breathing the same air is in Aizawa’s ratty car – and even then they don’t interact much. Deku, for his part thinks that this is fine. While Katsuki notices how Deku can withstand his presence without flinching anymore. On this Saturday however, both boys decide to stay back at school and prepare for their patrol, due Sunday.

• Day 1 (Sunday) – 6th April

• Miruko had wanted to take only one intern (being pressurized by the association to do so) from the entire U.A. batch and her criteria for her ‘kit’ was that they should have top pracatical scores which Deku and Kacchan both have, and they are neck to neck. Impressed by their track record, Miruko decided to take both of them. Under her aggressive tutelage, Katsuki learns that Deku is a passable sparring partner and they actually have pretty good dynamic during combat. So on Sunday they are put on patrol together and a fire breaks out in a mall, due to explosive gas leakage. At first Katsuki just freezes in front of the rescue scene, fearing that the gas leakage renders him absolutely useless in the scene and perhaps it is better for him to not go there. The ice-cold fear of failure seizes him by the fangs and holds him captive. But he and Deku are the first responders and there are a lot of victims – he can’t afford to just freeze like this – he needs to Move Move MOVE, damnit! While running into the scene, Deku breaks him out of his dilemma saying he doesnt need a quirk to save the people right in front of him, and that his experience and grit makes him a hero, not his quirk. Breaking out of his doubts and fears, Katsuki grins, calls him a dumbass, but he accepts that there are things he can do without his quirk, so he takes to evacuating people, while Deku goes further in. Other senior Pros start approaching, and help in evac, Deku has been shuttling in and out of fire to help victims, while Katsuki is on triage, assistance, and second-line evac duties. But after a few runs, Deku just doesnt return. Katsuki notices this and suddenly he panics because he knows Deku is a dumbass reckless shit, who must have been in some sort of trouble again. The gas was cleared out, so Katsuki can go in and rummage now. When he does however, he observes Deku trying to claw out a victim from a tough spot from a distance, but they seem to be hysterical and repeatedly asking Deku to ‘please can you bring her back’. At first it sounds like there is another victim under the rubble and Katsuki hears him reply clear as day, ‘I’ll try my best’

• What neither of them notice in the high stress situation is that this victim has a government-sanctioned ankle bracelet and that there’s sprinkler-washed blood seeping from under the rubble. The victim (Mirai) has a time-travel quirk which she was prohibited from using by the governement officials in fear of messing up timelines. Her friend, Sasha, died instantly when a piece of flaming debris fell on her from the gas explosion. In hysterics of trying to get her friend back, Mirai tries to send Deku back in the past to save Sasha. However, Mirai has no control over her powers and something horrific happens. Note that Katsuki is still a huge distance away from them, other Pros are converging towards their position. And Mirai activates her quirk on a surprised Deku.

• With a flash of blinding light, Katsuki’s vision is absolutely whited out. And the next thing he hears is an ear-splitting scream. The sound is so horrific that it makes his hairs stand on end, and he just…freezes. His brain concludes it must be Deku. Of course it must be the nerd, there was no one else there. But he cant internalize the information that the scream is even human, it’s so bone-chilling. When he gets closer though, he sees Pros struggling to sedate a convulsing Mirai, and another person who is wearing a hospital gown, with both arms bound in fracture casts and bloodied up from head to toe. Instantly glacial horror washes over Katsuki as he recognizes the person before him. It’s Deku. But from the Summer Camp, after he fought with Muscular and chased after him.

• Deku-from-the-past keels over, roaring in absolute blood-curdling agony when one of the Pro/EMTs administer a sedative, knocking him out. Katsuki is too shocked to react at first, but then he gathers his bearing and continues his evac. Deku is in proper hands, there’s nothing Katsuki can do help there – he assesses and moves on. Of course, it’s the logical course of action, people need him here, people need him to fucking save their shitty lives like he had promised he would. Things are going to be different, he promised that- here is his chance. But why…why is his mind reeling back to that horrific cry? Why is it haunting him even as he tries to concentrate blowing this rubble to smaller manageable bits? No, focus. Focus. FOCUS. This is not the time to be bothered about Deku. This is bigger than Deku and how utterly broken he looked. Bigger than how his own pride. He can’t mess up here. He absolutely can’t.

• Miruko notices how Katsuki is distracted and is faltering in his tasks, so, in her pissed, no-bullshit mood, she orders him to bail the fuck out before he loses focus entirely and ends up messing up shit more. Or else he will meet her wrath, this is no situation to be fucking around half-heartedly. Katsuki, absolutely mortified with shame, decides to retreat and he goes to blame Deku for it – but every time he closes his eyes, he sees that boy screaming his throat raw – as if he were being eviscerated.

• Aizawa calls him, and asks him to report to the same hospital that Deku has been taken to. He doesn’t give a shit if Miruko has allowed him to leave or not. He wants his student back (under his over-protective wing) because the League of Villains supposedly took claim of that terrorist incident.

• Katsuki reaches the hospital and All Might arrives there too. From the retired Pro, he learns that Deku was hit by a time-travel quirk which causes his present self ‘glitch’ in and out of time. One moment he is 17, the next moment he is 20. Things like that. Such ‘glitches’ occur because Mirai can’t control her quirk (nor her emotions which control her quirk) and she is suffering some sort of convulsions every time Deku glitches (each glitch is related to Mirai’s emotional state or her fears) The glitch also explains a strange occurrence during Izuku’s hospital stay after the Summer Camp. He had simply vanished from his room (where he was securely restrained to the bed for his unconscious night terrors) for a few hours and reappeared just as strangely screaming bloody murder sprawled on the floor. At that time the nurses had thought he had broken out of his restraints – but they found them intact. But this new quirk accident perfectly explains that freak incident.

• Katsuki asks what the night terrors were about, out of doomed curiosity, and although it isnt surprising to him that Deku screamed his name during those attacks (as he had heard Uraraka and Tsuyu mention how Deku screamed after he was kidnapped), but now that he has actually seen what it looked like more or less, he cant help but feel uneasy.

• Suddenly Aizawa calls All Might, informing him that another ‘glitch’ occured, and this Deku (apparently older than 17) had blood running down half his side, was absolutely frantic and kept asking for Katsuki. He wanted to leave desperately and had broken out of the hold of security easily, and now he was probably hobbling and bleeding all over the hospital. But they can’t seem to find him yet.

• All Might and Katsuki split ways to find Deku, and the explodo-boi is foaming at his mouth he is so enraged by all of it. Stupid Shitty Deku. Why does he keep insisting and putting himself in danger constantly?! Did he run while he was reeling from shock? Was he even aware of the amount of stupidity he was engaging in? Why is that idiot looking for Katsuki while he was bleeding to his death instead of getting his injuries healed first?!!

• But soon Katsuki gets his answers. Ahead of him is a huge crowd – they seem to have gathered around ro witness some strange scene.

• “Kacchan?”, a hoarse broken voice cries, almost ready to shatter. It hacks up a severe wet cough but keeps calling for Katsuki.

• Katsuki elbows and shoves through the crowd to get past.

“What the fuck- Deku?!”

But Katsuki finds himself paralyzed for the third time that day. Deku (age: ???) , in tattered hero suit, i.v. channels still attached to his arm, his other side is a river in red, and his arm is completely mangled beyond recognition. Katsuki doesnt even have time to respond when Deku looks back at him – his eyes are sunken, his face is gaunt from dehydration and his brow has broken into cold sweat – he looks horrible. But still on seeing Katsuki, he breaks into a smile with sunshine pouring through him. In a flash of green lightning, Katsuki finds himself tipping backwards due to Deku tackling into his chest.

• “Kacchan!”, Deku says with watery eyes and utter relief washing over him

• “Oi! The fuck are -“ Katsuki absently grips Deku’s mangled arm for support but when the bones and skin beneath his hand give out a horrifying crunch, Katsuki pales. Deku however doesnt seem to have noticed the state of his arm yet.

• “Kacchan”, his good hand weaves through a shocked boy’s hair, holding him close, “Kacchan Kacchan Kacchan", he chants as if Katsuki is the one who will disappear if he stops calling out his name.

• Too stunned to say anything, Katsuki keeps glaring at Deku’s right arm – he knows what causes this sort of damage, he has seen it too often. Deku must have used One for All again. Repeatedly. And not just that- his skin is cracked. Just like Aizawa’s at USJ.

Shigaraki

Katsuki sees RED. Despite the sheer anger and panic brewing inside of him, Katsuki strangely feels a note of utter despair. He isn’t listening to Deku at all his vision is crowded by blood, broken bones and torn skin.

• Suddenly Deku attempts to lift out, and look Katsuki in the eyes with a tender smile and soft adoring eyes that make his breath hitch and his heart slam into concrete. This is not a face a dying man should have. Where is the fucking despair? The pain? Where the fuck is the fear of death?! (Why is he looking at him like that?)

• “Don’t ever do that again, okay?“, Deku tells him softly, wiping his cheek and Katsuki realizes he is crying. In imitation perhaps, he says, “’I will kill you if you do’” and laughs weakly.

• “Shut up", Katsuki says weakly not wanting to hear that weak broken voice anymore. “Shut the fuck up…I’ll kill you! What the fuck is this, you useless asshole?!” He squeezes Deku’s right arm to incite some reaction, but Deku doesn’t even flinch. That’s when Katsuki knows he has lost all sensation in that arm. He blanches again.

• Deku smiles at him and just says, “I’m so glad that you are okay, Kacchan. So, so glad". And something in Katsuki just snaps in half. He wants to shove Deku off and scream at him. He must have done something stupid in the future. Again. But then his head falls heavily on Katsuki’s shoulder, “M sorry…i feel so sleepy" and Katsuki panics.

• “No, stay awake you asshole! You just cant fucking disappear and then show up like this! Stop this bullshit right now! You are Not gonna do this to-”

• “Kaccha-?”, Deku’s hands cup Katsuki’s face, almost groping blindly, “Are you-…I can’t hear…are you saying something?”

Deku has lost his sight and hearing and Katsuki starts to frantically scream at Deku to keep awake. Some nurses and security officers try to sneak up to Deku and inject a sedative, but the terror of Deku closing in his eyes makes Katsuki go ballistic. Meanwhile Deku’s condition gets worse, and Katsuki is absolutely torn. Finally, Deku sinks in Katsuki’s hold, “Hah, I- I never got to tell you. Kacchan- I lo-“

• Deku vanishes right there from Katsuki’s arms. His weight and fading warmth gone in an instant. Katsuki’s heart rams inside his chest, he stares at his blood-caked arms not understanding what happened. Where is Deku? He was right here! Did- did he die?

• With the full weight of panic crashing down on Katsuki remains as still as stone. Time doesn’t seem to move, the world dissolves in a mass of static and the white of hospital floor tiles. Someone walks up to him, Katsuki doesn’t register any of it until the person crouches down in front of him, takes off their tailored suit and unbuttons their dress-shirt. Katsuki looks up from the garish red shoes, to the bare right arm presented in front of him. It’s familiar, scar-riddled, but whole.

• Katsuki finally looks straight up, meets Green eyes, green hair. But it’s not the Deku he knows. He is older, taller. This Deku is a rugged man, someone who oozes gravitas worthy of a ‘Symbol’. With a grave expression melting away into kindness, he puts his suit-jacket around Katsuki’s shoulders and extends his hand to him.

• In a moment of pure instinct, Katsuki slaps Deku’s hand away and barks at him, “What the fuck was that?! What did you do?!”

• Deku smirks at him wistfully, however with a fond note too, “Same old Kacchan. You never change, do you?”

(to be continued…?)

((lemme know if ya want more?))

Edit: You wanted it. You Got it!

Tinnitus is a persistent ringing or buzzing in your ear/s and is often the result of hear damage caused by loud noises, there’s no real cure or treatment but many people find background noise like music, tv, or a white noise machine beneficial in distracting them from the sound and giving them some relief.

Dekus may mumble but each word is always clearly and fully pronounced, and I think once he learns to trust that people are not only willing but wanting to listen to what he’s got to say he’ll stop rushing to get everything out like his words are coke and mentos. Instead he’d have a steady rhythm when he speaks, and a slow almost melody just for kacchan, but his mind will never be any less full. It’s the perfect combo, someone who needs to fill the silence and someone who needs the silence filled

Comfort Winter Fic🥦💥

________________________

Katsuki isn’t a fan of the winter. Not only does the cold make his job harder but it makes his days off harder too.

It the first heavy snow of the season, muffling the usual city noise, it’s too cold and too quiet in this shitty apartment.

Dekus not home yet and he won’t be for several more hours, Katsuki should be enjoying one of the few days he has to himself and maybe planning dinner if he feels generous, but he simply can’t when his body’s betraying him like this.

Theres a constant high pitched ringing in his ears that he’s learned to live with but when everything else goes quiet like this.… this kind of silence acts like an amplifier and it makes his skull throb in time to his heartbeat.

He’s got all the lights off and has concooned himself in a big ass quilt on their couch. He even got that stupid white noise machine that Deku gave him last Christmas going but he can still hear the ringing above it. He’s actually not sure if the shitty thing is helping or hurting, like his brains trying to drown out both and can’t. He hates this, he feels weak, like a failure sitting here in the dark fighting back tears all because of a headache with an attitude. He knows crying adds pressure and makes it worse but he can’t stop it. He’s exhausted and hurting, and all he wants is to fall asleep in their stupid, too quiet, dark ass, lonely apartment and wake up when Deku gets home and makes it stop being all those things. But he can’t and he hates it

Katsuki lays there for what feels like an eternity, when he feels a cold hand thumb away a tear. Blearily he opens his eyes to see Deku floating next to him, familiar green warmed by the glow of their electric fire he hadn’t noticed Deku turn on. And for a moment there’s a break in the ringing as his focus narrows down to the sound of Dekus heavy breathing from the strain of controlling Float. He can’t help the sniffle that leaves him, the level of love and understanding that shines in shades of green never fails to floor him.

Deku, having noticed how dark and quiet their home was when he walked through the door enacted float. He knows how Kacchan likes to try and nap away these snow storms, so he tried his best to be quiet as he went about taking off his winter gear. Then noticing the lump of quilt on the couch and lack of kitchen activity he decided to put in an order with their favorite diners app. Then he summersualted through the air over the couch and turned the fire on to warm it up a bit more in here. He turned around to admire his cozy bf and considered leaving him on the couch or carrying him to their bed.

Bending down he got a good look at Kacchan to figure out how deeply asleep he was before doing anything to disturb him. But now that he was closer and it wasn’t so dark he could see tear tracks glistening on his Kacchans cheeks. That’s when he noticed the white noise machine was going, and he felt his heart squeeze.

He hated that he couldn’t make that damn ringing go away, he had no idea how Kacchan stayed so strong and focused in everything he did while fighting something like this every minute of everyday. Unless he was in a hyper focus a microwave beep coil completely ruin any focus he had. Without thinking he reached out to rub one of the still falling tears away.

Ruby eyes blinked open at him, bringing a natural irreplaceable smile to Dekus face. Even in exhausted and in pain there was a clear fierceness smoldering in crimson depths that never failed to set Deku soul on fire.

Then Kacchan sniffled and Dekus body moved on its own, dropping down on the couch just behind Kacchan and pulled him and his blanket caccoon into his lap. He placed a kiss on his forehead and began subtly rocking them as he hummed contentedly. He felt more than heard Kacchan release a small sob. Deku held him a little tighter and tells him what he orders for dinner, Kacchan clings to him and burrows his face into his chest. So Deku begins whispering a long tangent about everything and anything that happened to him that day.

He keeps going until he can feel Kacchan fully relax into him. Then he gives his explosive bf’s temple another kiss and asks if he wants to him to keep going or if there’s anything else he can do for him.

Bakugou is bad at flirting before dating but an excellent boyfriend. He just gets better at it when they’re dating because he’s not as nervous about it. Deku wouldn’t have known if he was good at flirting because it took him forever and lots of hints from Kirishima and Uraraka for him to figure it out.

Asking Deku to be his boyfriend wasn’t the most nervous Bakugou has ever felt but he was so emotionally vulnerable with him that when Deku said yes, he practically collapsed in his arms. 

Sometimes Midoriya will get in his head about his relationship with Bakugou. He still sometimes can’t believe it’s happening and gets a little anxious about it. It happens in class sometimes so Midoriya will reach out and place a hand back or let their fingers touch a little longer when he’s passing papers back to him. Kacchan allowing himself to be touched by Mido helps him remember it’s real. 

We all knew this but it’s soft hours baybeeeee. BUT we all been knew that Midoriya thinks Bakugou is amazing (kacchan sugoi!) but he’s just so proud of him?? He’s come so far and grown so much. Midoriya is very proud to be with him. Everyone knows this because it’s written all over his face. 

Midoriya wasn’t prepared for the amount of affection he gets from Bakugou. He always knew he was an “all in” kind of guy but he’d never seen Bakugou with anyone romantically before. So, for the first few weeks he spends the entire time blushing any time Kacchan does anything remotely romantic. Forehead and cheek kisses. Hand through his hair in passing. An arm around his shoulder when they’re on the train or walking together. The entire time he’s red in the face and his heart is fluttering.

Bakugou eggs it on a little because he thinks it’s cute. He does things like steal kisses from him while he’s in the middle of speaking with another classmate. He’ll stare at him from across the room until Deku notices then smiles. Little things but they always get a reaction. He’s almost sad when Deku gets used to it. Almost. Now Deku initiates touching and flirting more and he’s the one blushing. 

Every time Midoriya looks at him like he hung the moon, Bakugou feels guilty, like he doesn’t deserve him. He did and said so many awful things to Deku and he should hate Bakugou. But Deku doesn’t and Bakugou isn’t stupid enough to push him away again. 

He tries to make up for it all by loving him so fiercely to earn that spot in Deku’s heart. 

He never had to earn that, though. Midoriya’s heart was always open to Kacchan and he loves him just as fiercely in return. 

Sometimes his friends will tease Bakugou about things and while he takes it in stride, sometimes things hurt. He’d never show it but Deku is stupid good noticing even the slightest change in his demeanor from a mile away and will be there in in a flash to comfort him. 

I.e. Once Kirishima and Kaminari were teasing him about his “crazed grin” on the battlefield while they were resting in the lounge area of the dorms. They were just kidding but a guy can only handle being told he’d make a good villain so many times. He didn’t think he’d changed his expression but Deku noticed. He came up behind the couch where Bakugou was sitting and wrapped his arms around his shoulders from behind, resting his cheek against his temple. “I love Kacchan’s smile,” he said gently, but loud enough for them all to hear. His heart melts a little before he places a hand over one of Deku’s and runs a thumb across his knuckles in a silent thank you. 

After that he said, “Okay, c’mere nerd.” He then wrapped his arms around Deku’s  back and hauled him over his shoulder from behind and flipped him onto the couch. Deku’s face was deep red and his head was in Bakugou’s lap. “I could have walked, you know,” he said. “This was more fun,” Bakugou replied before planting a kiss on his forehead.
