[Edit: this has become known as bakudeku author au! I didnāt think people would actually get invested in it O-o]
Aged up and Quirkless!au (no one has Quirks) where Izukuās a popular book author whose face is unknown and only goes by Deku (of course). His books (which are ongoing) have amassed a large fandom, and his guilty pleasure is actually reading fanfiction of his own stories, which are set in a world where superpowers exist and the main character wants to become the greatest hero. He has secret accounts on almost every platform, but he would die before ever telling his friends what he was doing on them.
Izukuās reading mood changes day after day. Sometimes he likes reading the angsty fics, though he always keeps a box of tissues next to him. Some of the fic authors actually kill off his favourite characters in their stories, and the comments are always about how they hope the original author (him) wonāt actually kill that specific character off in the next book he writes. Theyād never know how heād never even considered it, and now that theyāve written that story, heās definitely never going to kill that character off! He just loves them them too much. So he bookmarks the story, leaves a kudos and a comment on his secret account telling them how much he loved it, wipes away his tears, and moves on to the next one.
Izukuās descent into hell started sometime when he was reading angst, when he saw the tag with two of his charactersā names with a slash in between. He was still new to the website and never used it for anything other than reading fics for his own fandom, so he assumed it was rivalry. The summary certainly made it seem so. So he tapped.
Three hours later, Izuku was in a whole new world. How could he not have seen the potential between these two characters? Or those two? Or the other two? Maybe even those three? The four??? Heād fallen into a dangerous rabbit hole of romance.
There was a lot of same-sex shipping as well, which actually confused him at first. He thought heād made it obvious that the male protagonist in his stories liked one of the girls in his class, even though romance often took a backseat in his adventure stories. But here was a plethora of fics about the character falling in love with an aloof boy in class, or one of the cheerful ones, or the one whoād just joined and seemed like he needed a week of pure sleep. Or all three? Sometimes everyone in the class?
Heād particularly gotten very invested in a specific fic author whose username actually seemed rather murderous for someone who wrote such sweet fics. There was a link at the bottom of one of them, which had taken him to their blog, on which theyād given an age and pronouns. He/him. Huh.
Whoever this fic writer was, he wrote fluently and beautifully. (His authorās notes were witty too, if not a bit sweary.) Izuku found himself gripped as the author made him worry over his own charactersā relationships, their breakdowns, and their missions, and quickly enough, heād deemed him his favourite author. The irony of having such an aggressive name for a romance writer wore off when he discovered he wrote angst fics too. Right up his alley.
Then he came across The Fic. The fic that changed everything. It was another angst, but peppered in with some romance between the protagonist and his childhood bully turned rival turned friend. (Izuku wasnāt sure how to feel about that since he hadnāt written them with any romantic subtext, to his knowledge, but the author was so good, he had to read everything he had, including this story.)
And then, he reached the ending.
At the very end of the story, the rival and the protagonist were forced to work together in a battle against villains after having had several scenarios together where theyād reconciled their differences and ended up agreeing to be civil towards one another. In an effort to stop the protagonist, he lunged in front of him in an act of self-sacrifice, and let the villainās weapon claw through his chest instead.
Izuku started crying instantly, holding his phone in his shaking hand as he curled up against his headboard further in the darkness of his room. No, no. No no no no no! This couldnāt be happening! He didnāt exactly... āshipā the two, but after everything that had just happened, why? Why? Why did this death hurt so much?
And he was indescribably angry too. As he finished the story, the rival laying in the protagonistās arms, smiling and confessing his love at last, Izuku found himself sobbing even more and throwing his phone across the room.
He wasnāt having this.
He opened his laptop aggressively, searching the fic authorās blog again and going straight to his DMs on his secret account. Not only was the self-sacrifice so unbelievably unsatisfying, but the character he wrote, would never let himself go down that easy. He would never do that unless he knew for sure it was the very last resort. And if he were to die, he would never make a love confession his last words. He would express it through his actions, because Izuku had always, always written him like that. This story was just an entire injustice!
Send.
The reply came instantaneously. Apparently, the author was online, and... just as angry as he was. Izuku didnāt even have time to be nervous over the first time texting his ex-favourite author when he started reading the text.
āHAH? LOOK, ITāS MY FUCKING FANFIC AND MY INTERPRETATION OF THE CHARACTERS. AND DIDNāT YOU READ THE MAJOR CHARACTER DEATH TAG, DUMBASS? YOU SHOULDāVE SEEN IT COMINGā
āI know exactly what youāre trying to say, but what happened is just so inaccurate to the characters! Their personalities! How they wouldāve reacted!!!!!!ā
āYEAH? AND HOW WOULD YOU KNOW?ā
His fingers flew across the keyboard in a mad rush of irritation.
Essentially, @nobodyw8s4evr and I talked about how ridiculous his hero suit actually is (both the half ice cyborg version pfffft and the current version) so we came up w some dumb hcs for their creation ;)
Donāt mind the ooc-ness ^^;
//no but like can you imagine the origin story of the first version??? wheeze
enji: [eyebrows furrowed in concern while looking at the bin in shoutoās room, overflowing with crumpled pieces of paper] shouto, why donāt you let me help you put your hero outfit togeth-?
shouto: -FUCK OFF, OLD MAN, ITāS FINE EVERYTHINGāS FINE [sobbing while sketching furiously, wiping his tears away with his arm]
shouto: [a few days later] done, finally [sends off the request to the costuming department, completely satisfied]
natsuo: [watches him pull out the suit from the box that came in the mail a week later] ...hey shou, do you accept constructive criticism?
shouto: [already pulling it on, freezing his entire left side and fixing a thick red lens over his left eye] no. no, i do not.
natsuo: [sighs] yeah, i figured that might be the case. well, it was worth a try.
shouto: [scoffing, adamant] what? of course i can
shouto: [scoffing, adamant] what? of course i can
shouto: [looks at the orange juice on the left side of the table]
shouto: [realises he canāt lift his left arm while itās encased in ice]
shouto: [mumbles, flustered] ...natsu, could- could you pass me the orange juice?
natsuo: [sighs and smirks as he slides it closer to shoutoās right side] sure thing
//natsuo: so... whatās the backpack for?
shouto: iām not entirely sure, like, ventilation? i just thought it looked cool.
natsuo: [sighs for the 10th time that day] forget i asked
//shoutoās hair is so so cold and wet under the ice, but he absolutely refuses to use his left side to warm himself up, so itās honestly a torturous few weeks in that āsuitā as he shivers every few minutes and scares children with his red eye over and over
itās literally like
kid: [running up and tapping him from the back] hey there, mister, could you get that ball for us?
shouto: [who literally canāt hear shit bc his left ear is covered with fucking ice, turns around] oh, hello. sorry, say that again?
kid: [screams and runs away]
shouto: [right hand outstretched as they run off bc the left one is still frozen] ...ah
//he has to carry everything on his right side bc the ice spikes get in the way and itās hell okay? hell.
natsuo: [watches shouto struggle to open the door to his room with his left arm when his right is occupied with carrying a shit ton of things]Ā
shouto: um. a little help, please?
natsuo: [leans against the doorframe next to him, doing nothing] get rid of that suit, and i will
shouto: whā whatās wrong with my suit?
natsuo: [narrows his eyes in disbelief]
shouto: ...okay, maybe youāre right
natsuo: [sighs and turns the doorknob for him, pushing the door open] arenāt i always, little bro?
shouto: [shuffles in quietly while natsuo shuts the door behind him]
//a few weeks later, shouto reappears in his new hero suit
(enji: [close to actual tears] for fuckās sake)
(natsuo: [mentally praying to some deity and contemplating leaving suit design magazines in shoutoās room āaccidentallyā])
//conversely, we also thought about him as a member of the league of villains, trying to pick out his villain costume
tomura: [about to snap] for the love of fuck, itās been five hours. [turning to dabi] if he takes any longer to choose, iām fucking dusting him.
dabi: [leaning against the bar, amused] chill out, crusty. go play some video game or something while waiting if your impatient ass canāt stand it.
shouto: [choosing to ignore tomura] [instead lifting up two pieces of clashing fabric to the other lov members in the bar] so this and this... they match, yes?
twice: yes, they go together so well! go for it!
twice: no, what the hell? whatās wrong with you? you have eyes, so fucking use them.
dabi: [smiling fondly] aw, baby bro, donāt you know a single thing about fashion?
mr compress: [sitting at the bar next to them, swirling his drink] oh? thatās big talk coming from someone who doesnāt even know any colours other than black and yes, iām talking to you too, shigaraki.
tomura: [disgusted] fuck? donāt drag me into this bullshit [turns back to the bar and takes a swig of a bottle of vodka]
himiko: [swings her legs on her barstool, humming in thought] hey, shou-chan! why donāt you just do what i do and wear your school uniform?
shouto: [pauses] oh, i can do that? so i didnāt need to spend five hours on this?
tomura:
tomura: [dusts his bottle of vodka in silent rage]
twice: [squawks] hey, i was gonna drink that after you!
and then, a few days later of debate, heists, murders and plotting...
shouto: [slapping some fabric together, slathering on some black eye shadow and nodding, contented] i think iāve got it
dabi: [proudly as he pulls him into a headlock and gives him a noogie] now weāre talking! thatās my little brother right there!
kurogiri: [smokepalms as he looks at the black clothing and the black eye shadow, reminiscent of dabiās under-eye scars] yes... i can see the resemblance
kurogiri: [the corners of his glowing yellow eyes crinkle fondly at them anyway]
And thatās it! Again, thank you so much to @nobodyw8s4evr for making such hilarious hcs w me ^^ Iām only tagging this as ttops hcs so I can find it easily, but really, theyāre awesome hehe
[throws bakukami whump at you] a storm approaches...
okay but for real tho denki gets so depressed one night he goes out while itās pouring and walks aimlessly until he gets to the park. and he knows he shouldnāt do it. he shouldnāt. his quirk is already so delicate like this, with thunder in the distance and his hair already soaked, but he pulls out his phone anyway an hour later, trying to shield it from the downpour as he dials a number.
āthe fuck?ā a groggy, sleep-filled voice answers. āitās 1am, sparky.ā
ācan-,ā denki says shakily, tears mixing with the rain falling against his cheeks, ācan you come pick me up?ā
a pause.
ā...tell me where you are.ā
and in about ten minutes, katsukiās running into the park, just as drenched, panting as he looks around frantically, before finding the blond bent over himself on a bench, legs pulled up to his chest and quietly sobbing. his heart drops and he runs to him, freaking out.
but his mouth wonāt make the words he wants to say. what happened? why did you come out here? who do i have to murder?
and as he approaches denki, the other boy finally looks up, discharging electricity left and right, little sparks that fizzle out. katsuki goes to touch him, hold him, take him home, but-
ā-donāt!ā
he blinks, pulling away instantly and watching denki recoil from his touch.
ā...youāll get hurt.ā
katsuki stares down at him, the small boy on the park bench, so afraid to let anyone near him whenever thunder started to brew and lightning was visible in the distance.
āyouāre already hurting, fucker. come here.ā
and with that, the taller teen is pulling denki off the bench, into his arms.
instantly, he can feel the electricity surging through him, making every nerve bubble and pop, and it takes everything in him not to push off. denki gasps, Ā trying to shove him away in panic, but katsuki just holds him even tighter, dropping his chin into the junction between his neck and shoulder like a key in a lock. he fists his hands into the back of denkiās soaked-through shirt, desperately trying to ignore the pain raking across his chest and back like nails.
ābaku- bakugou, you canāt,ā denki says, eyes wide. āitās painful! just let go!ā
āfat chance,ā katsuki replies through gritted teeth, ducking his head so even if denki turned his face, he wouldnāt see the expression of pain on it.
because this is what he needs right now. he needs someone to be with him. hold him. fucking protect him and remind him that he isnāt someone to be afraid of. and if katsuki has to be that person, then damn it all to hell, he will.
āthis is supposed to be painful?ā he adds lightheartedly, even though his nails are digging into denkiās back. maybe heās drawing blood now, he canāt tell. ādoesnāt even hurt a bit. l-like static.ā
but soon enough, theyāre both collapsing on the ground in front of the bench, the rain pounding down even louder now as they cling on to each other, though the shorter boyās still fighting back weakly.
āstop pushing me away. just... just let me hold you, damn it,ā katsuki pleads, voice so soft itās almost lost in the rain.
and after a long moment of hesitating, denki finally crumples into him, melting as katsuki wraps his arms around him more securely again. loud sobs wrack his body and katsuki can feel every zap of electricity leaving his body and entering his, his teeth sinking into his bottom lip to bear with the pain.
āthank you...ā
and he just sweeps the smaller blond off the dirty ground, sweeping him into his lap, and cradles him. tightly. denki hides his face under his chin, shoulders shaking as thunder shakes the air around them, much closer now.
he knows it wonāt be long before lightning hits.
but heāll stay. heāll stay right here, holding on to a denki who might slip away from him so fast if he so much as blinked. like sand through fingers. so he stays. he lifts a hand to wipe tears away from his cheeks, and pushes his head back against his chest again, rocking him back and forth, even as the thunder grows louder, and louder.
his entire body feels like itās burning with every second he holds denki, and he knows the second he lets go, the pain would go away. heād be safe again. but why would he?
so even when thunder finally splits the sky open right above them, katsuki clings tightly to the sobbing boy in his arms, making a silent promise to him.
āiām not leaving you. not now. not ever.ā
~
ahaha. take all my angst. i was deep in my feels when i wrote this.
Hmm... alright. I think itāll be angsty, though, so you might regret asking. But then again, itās Dabi/Touya, what do we expect? :^) Iām thinking this up on the fly btw, so here I go
Touya is a little younger than Dabi. In the dimension he came from, he didnāt run away. He didnāt fake his death. He endured everything. Even when other dimension Dabi finally lost his patience, lashed out when he was younger at the pivotal moment that landed him the burns that Enji was oh so willing to give at the time, Touya stayed silent. He protected his younger siblings as best as he could, and he didnāt say anything against his father otherwise, up until that one fateful day several years later, when he finally cracked.
So did Enji.
So now the white bandages wind around his neck, all the way up to his chin. Because of the scarring/burns around the lower half of his face, he wears a black face mask, leaving it so only the top half of his face, which remains unscarred, is visible.
Heās paranoid, defensive, and since he manifested outside the Leagueās hideout in a parallel dimension only a few days after heād gotten the bandages on, his voice is still sore and achy. His selective mutism doesnāt help his case either. All he wants is to feel safe, to be loved and understood.
Dabi, whoās had to fend for himself for much longer, is very much willing to give him all of that.
Itās Dabi who finds him in the first place, curled up in a ball and passed out behind the dumpster, as if heād just been dropped out of the sky like a broken angel.
He recognises him instantly, eyes widening, and the man doesnāt show the slightest sign of waking up even as Dabi swears and bundles him into his arms, kicks the door down to the hideout and brings him in to settle him down on the couch. He doesnāt know whatās going on, but he canāt leave someone who looks almost exactly how he used to a few years ago laying outside without doing anything.
He inspects him, eyes roving over his familiar features, the mouth mask, the bandaged neck. Heād had to wear those himself when he was far younger, but these looked new. Almost like the pain heād had to experience all those years ago was far more recent to this stranger. But who was he?
His clothes are pristine, like he hadnāt even been there long, and though the stench of waste permeates the air, itās not the heavy kind thatās been festering in fabric for days nor weeks. It had barely even settled into his skin.
After what seems like hours of Dabi pacing nervously, waiting for the other members to come back and tell him what the fuck heās supposed to do, what sort of messed-up nightmare prank this is, the man finally groans in his sleep.
Dabi freezes in his steps, peering at the familiar stranger slowly rousing from the sofa. His eyes are still shut in pain, and he hisses quietly through the mask as a hand lifts to rub at his temple as if he had a hangover. But it canāt be, because Dabi smelled no alcohol on him, and in any case, drunken men are the least of his worries when the man looks almost exactly like his past self.
Then at last, the hissing stops. The masked man seems to feel the surface heās on, realising heās not where he was before. And then, his eyes snap open, hand coming down to grab at the side of the couch, at the arm of it. Not recognising anything, he stands up and turns, defenses set high and ready for attack.

original post hereĀ --> which will give context on Izukuās successorās personality
Izuku - or Deku, rather - is the current no. 1 pro hero, teacher at UA, secret holder of One For All and Symbol of Hope. When he was proposed the title Symbol of Peace, like All Might had, heād calmly refused it, stating how heād prefer for that name to belong to him alone, as a sign of respect. So when proposed Symbol of Hope instead, heād accepted it with a bright smile and a promise to always live up to his new title.
Itās been a few years since, and now, heāsĀ Deku, current no. 1 pro hero, teacher at UA, secret holder of One For All, Symbol of Hope, and somehow...Ā mentor to a very temperamental teen, who also has One For All.
Oh boy.
Welcome, one and all, to the mess which is me goingĀ āholy shit what if IzukuāsĀ successor was a brat like Katsuki or Kouta???ā I mean, think about it. The boy can see the good in everyone, motivate anyone and spread kindness throughout the land. Which is why everyone who knows about him and All Might and Nana practically wants to shake him senseless bc āARE YOU CRAZY, MIDORIYAāĀ when he explains that he isnāt looking for someone like or himself norĀ Mirio (as amazing as he is) to inherit OFA. I donāt have a name for his successor,Ā but I still hc them as trans, specifically non-binary! So, yeah, they/them pronouns for the angry babe, please! Also, you can suggest me names if youād like - preferably Japanese ones that are pretty gender-neutral, with kanji that matches up to their angsty personality! Iām keeping the K for now, since theyāre based off Katsuki and Kouta.
Anyway, hereās a messy list of their interactions!
- (this oneās a joke but i love it so much) -
Izuku: [walking around on UA grounds] my heir needs to be calm, cool, cheerful, charismatic-
His actual heir-to-be (K): [in an argument with a student prefect] -HAH? WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN THIS ISNāT UNIFORM PROTOCOL? JUST āCAUSE I DONāT WEAR A FUCKING TIE SOMEHOW MEANS IāM A DELINQUENT? BULLSHIT. YOU CAN TAKE YOUR DAMN RULES AND SHOVE āEM UP YOUR ASS. IāM OUTTA HERE.
Izuku: [deep breathing] -that one. I want that one.
*
- at Katsukiās hero agency, in his office -
Katsuki: [stands up to face them] so this is the brat?
Izuku: [defensively] hey, donāt call them that!
K: [squares their shoulders and looks up at the blond pro hero, jaw set and eyes narrowed] Ground Zero, huh?
Katsuki: [glaring back, ready to snarl] yeah, whatās it to ya?
Izuku: [flicking his gaze from one to the other, already regretting letting them both meet and wanting to disappear into the ground]
K: you know, youāre pretty cool - when youāre not being a complete fucking asshole, that is
Izuku: [makes a high-pitched sound of dread]
Katsuki: [blinks, then smirks wide and laughs good-naturedly, putting a hand out to ruffle their hair] youāve got some damn nerve, kid. I think I like you.
Katsuki: [while the teen crosses their arms but still lets themself be pet] Deku, you got yourself a good one. Raise āem good, or Iām stealing āem from you.
Izuku:
Izuku: [rubs his eyes incredulously] what the heck just happened?
*
- while theyāre trekking alone for mentor-apprentice training -
K: [stomping ahead as Izuku rambles worriedly] oh my god, will you stop being so damn paranoid?
Izuku: how can I? Kacchan- I mean Ground Zeroās just so cool! Heās got everything! The brains, the brawn, the talent, the fighting spirit - heās far more suited to be your mentor!
K: [reaches the top of the hill and stops walking to look at him, a hand on their hip] look, teach, you know Iām not good at this talking crap, but Iām gonna say this now and only now. You listening?
Izuku: [stops rambling and slows his step, nodding cautiously]
K: [lets a flicker of OFA appear in the palm of their hand as they reflect] you... you chose me. You saw something in me that fucking no one else saw. No one else gave me a chance - they all laughed, jeered, talked shit behind my back. But you told me I could be a hero. Fucking Deku, no. 1 pro hero in the world, told me I was goddamn worth being a little weaker for, gave some of his power to me because he believed I was gonna do good. So, damn it, if you fucking think Iām gonna stop training with you now just because I like other heroes too, youāve got another thing coming. I aināt quitting you for nobody else, Deku, got that?
Izuku: [about to cry] ...o-okay
K: [closes their first and turns around, shoving their hands into their pockets and walking off again] and stop crying so much. Itās unprofessional. Youāre meant to be my mentor.
Izuku: [smiling shakily and wiping his eyes as he follows the shorter teen, a weight off his chest] okay!
Ochako (who knows about OFA now): and you had to pick the one who canāt go one week without breaking their bones?
Izuku: [rubs the back of his head] come on, cut them some slack... they donāt break their bones every week
Ochako: [shakes her head at him in disbelief as she nurses her coffee]
Izuku: [jolts when he hears his phone ring] [looks at the contact name]
Ochako: [crosses her arms, unamused] let me guess... itās them... again
Izuku: [looking smug as he stands up and taking the call] actually, itās the hospital reception, so if youāll excuse me, Iām sure itās hero work- [listens to the person on the receiver, eyes widening suddenly] -THEY DID WHAT? IāM COMING RIGHT NOW, PLEASE PASS THE PHONE TO THEM!
Ochako: [drinks her coffee as she watches him hurriedly pull on his jacket and scarf while the line goes quiet]
Izuku: [with his layers on and the phone back to his ear] WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING? I TOLD YOU NOT TO USE MORE THAN 5% AT THIS STAGE- [sees Ochako smirking at him and pulls the phone away again] -you be quiet
Ochako: [bats her eyelashes innocently] what? I didnāt say anything! Now, go be a dad, Izuku
Izuku: [focusing on his secret heir for a few minutes] and then you pull your arm back like this to make sure you donāt break your bones, okay?
K: [rolls their eyes as they copy the motion] yeah, whatever, dad
Izuku:
K:
The entire class:
Izuku: [breaks into proud tears]
K: fuck wAIT-
*
- at the bar meet-up -
Izuku: [crashes through the door, still crying and spotting Ochako] OKAY MAYBE I AM THEIR DAD, SO WHAT?
Ochako: oh my god, what happened? [puts down her cocktail]
Izuku: [walks to the bar, fanning his face] THEY CALLED ME DAD
Shouto: [nods from the barstool next to her] congratulations. Be a better one than mine.
Denki: [chokes on his drink]
Eijirou: bro, being a better dad than yours? Thatās like easier than pissing Bakubro off on a Monday morning. Or any day, really.
Katsuki: [slamming his beer down on the bar] the fuck did you just say, Shitty Hair?
Mina: case in point
Denki: [chokes on his drink again]
*
- at All Mightās house, on his doorstep -
Izuku: All Might, Iād like you to meet someone [smiling excitedly]
All Might: [seeing the teen in front of Izuku, who wonāt even look at him, glaring at the ground instead]
All Might: [tears of joy already forming in his eyes, arms outstretched shakily] m-my grandkid?
K:Ā [scoffs] iām sorry, what? since when were you dekuās dad-
All Might: -come here!
K: [eyes widening, faƧade dropping] w-w-wait, hold on-
All Might: [scooping them up into a hug] welcome to the family!
Izuku: [giggles]
K: [glares at Izuku while still trying to escape All Mightās hug and failing] take your Quirk back right now, old man
Izuku: [one eyebrow raised] nice try, squirt, but itās too late now
K: dammit
K: [pats All Mightās back twice awkwardly]
Izuku: [beams with pride, aggressively tearing up again]
K: [eyes widening when they spot him] OI, OI, WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT CRYING?
Izuku: Iām sorry, itās just... [joins the hug, wrapping his arms around his own mentor and his successor]
K: [now surrounded by two men hugging their shorter stature and sobbing]
K: [sighs in resignation]
So, yeah, this is all I got for now, and I hope you enjoyed :D maybe Iāll make a part 2 someday? I do have exams and fics to work on so... weāll see!
[Important side note: if someone actually doesnāt consent to a hug, please respect that and greet them in other ways! They may have haphephobia (fear of being touched), general touch aversion, or something else because of something traumatic that happened in their past, so be mindful when meeting new people. Here, K is just a little tsundere, and I know (as their creator) they actually like physical contact - theyāre just very unfamiliar/inexperienced with it. Thanks for reading!]
unfinished little drabble i got?? katsukiās a brat who usually gets everything he wants, and after all these years, Izukuās still one of them. age gap ahead and i donāt know by how much, but heās 18 for the plot so whatever floats your boat! (story does starts off with backstory of him being smol but itās only for the first paragraph.) and quirkless!au bc i said so.
~
Izukuās been Katsukiās babysitter for a long time now and at one point in middle school, he learns about kisses and asks Izuku for them. Izuku is shocked and horrified, but he also doesnāt want Katsuki to throw a tantrum, so he tells him if heās patient, heāll get them. Maybe. And to little Katsuki, thatās enough. Thing is, Izuku makes these promises all the time but hopes Katsuki will forget. Heāll distract him with something else, like talking about comics or heroes or something. And it seems to work. Katsuki still asks and Izuku still promises, but he never does anything, really.
Fast forward to 18 yo Katsuki standing in front of Izukuās house, shoving a spread from his younger selfās journal into the man whoās no longer his babysitterās face. The page is filled with several rows of lines struck out in fives, and the heading is āDekuās promisesā.
Izuku stands there in the doorway, looking a little taken back and speechless.
āK-Kacchan, wh-ā
ā-You owe me exactly 237 kisses, and you can start paying them back now.ā
Katsuki slips a hand into his pocket, eyes half-lidded as he glares down the taller man with an unreadable expression.
āIāve been patient for long enough.ā
The green-haired manās still silent for a few moments, cheeks blazing up with a blush as he looks at the teen opposite him on the welcome mat. Then a voice rings out from somewhere in the house.
āIzuku? Who is it?ā
A few seconds later, another man comes to the door, taller than Izuku, with heterochromatic eyes and a shock of white and red hair sweeping over his brows.
Itās the first time Katsukiās ever seen him, since he hasnāt visited Izuku in quite a while, so heās probably his boyfriend or something. Though, he shouldāve been able to guess that by the way the man winds his arm around Izukuās waist, though his expression implies itās more to do with familiarity rather than feeling any sort of hostility towards Katsuki himself.
Izuku squeaks at the contact, turning to look back and forth between his boyfriend and the cocky blond.
āShoucchan, I can-ā
ā-Oh, is this a friend?ā āShoucchanā asks, and his deep timbre sends shivers through Katsukiās spine when he hears his voice again from much closer up.
āItās a pleasure to meet you. Iām Todoroki Shouto. Any friend of Izukuās is a friend of mine.ā
Not bad. Not bad at all.
Katsuki clicks his tongue, lowering his journal to turn it towards himself, running the numbers again in his head.
Finally, he snaps the book shut, gaze swivelling back to the couple.
āChange of plan,ā he announces, revelling in the dread that fills Izukuās eyes, and the curiosity that fills Shoutoās when he tilts his head, having missed the earlier declaration.
āHm?ā
āLetās make it an even number. 238. Then Deku only owes me 119, and you can do the other half.ā A smirk curls at his lips. āAnytime youād like.ā
Shouto stares at him, not exactly put off but not exactly understanding either.
āBabe, whatās he talking about?ā
Izuku suddenly hides his face in his shoulder in shame, voice coming out muffled.
āK-Kisses, Shoucchan... heās asking for kisses.ā
The taller manās eyes widen slightly, the only sign that heās surprised by this information.
āHe... But... why-?ā
ā-Thatās Kacchan,āĀ Izuku mumbles, and Katsuki feels a spike of pride at being remembered, his smirk getting even bigger now. āThatās him.ā
āOh.ā
And the way Shoutoās eyes widen just the slightest bit more after that tells him he already knowsĀ everythingĀ he needs to know about him.
āThatās me. BakugouĀ fuckingĀ Katsuki. So what do you say? You ready to help Deku pay back his kiss debt?ā
