This is my first BNHA fanfiction and I'm getting really really carried away. XD 
I'm writing this mostly all caught up with where we are in the anime, but I decided not to add any dorms in this particular fanfiction. (I'm personally caught up with the anime, just not yet with the manga!)
Persistent!Jealous-ish!Todoroki
Poor!Midoriya
Going Deaf!Bakugou
School drama, love triangles of sorts (for like a second), and hearing loss and hearing recovery.
--
"Katsuki, I know it's hard..." Mitsuki spoke a little louder than she would've liked to when it came to comforting her son, but it was the only way Bakugou would be able to hear her. 
"Go away!" The ash-blonde shouted at his mother, to which she stood up and left the room without a fight. Bakugou frowned, he felt like he was being defeated. He was his own bully it seemed. How come his body couldn't take it? Why? 'Who could I tell this to...Who would know the humiliation of being beaten by their own quirk?' Katsuki thought to himself. And when the answer hit, it hit hard. 'Midoriya.' 
The next day, Aizawa-sensei was holding a special class. It was one to assess the tolls taken on the user from their quirks. If a problem was found, they'd be instructed in working on that instead of how to fight and be a hero. 
When it was Bakugou's turn, he gulped loudly. He'd always spoke fairly loud, and his hearing had only been suffering for a few months now, with occasional problems years prior. So, him yelling probably wouldn't signal a problem to Aizawa and the rest. That wasn't all the ash-blonde had to stress over, though. He wanted to tell Midoriya what was happening. Midoriya knew the pain of his own quirk. 
"Bakugou?" Aizawa-sensei said for the second time. "Bakugou! We need you to create a small explosion. We're going to be testing your hearing out!" His voice raised a little. 
Bakugou jumped in his seat slightly. "Right. But speak louder next time, old man. No one can hear you if you're mumbling." He retorted. Bakugou finally listened to his instructor and held up his hand. He created the small crackles of the explosion just like he did when he was younger. In time, he raised the intensity, and as the intensity rose, Bakugou began to physically react. He began to wonder in pain, and his body could be visibly trembling. Bakugou stopped after he noticed how obvious his pain had become. "Is that all, sensei?" 
"Not quite yet, Bakugou," Aizawa said audibly to Bakugou. "Your quirk. It's obviously causing you discomfort somewhere on your body. Would you tell me where the pain is, Bakugou?" He inquired. 
To no avail though. Bakugou only insisted he was fine, and when he was tired of Aizawa's begging, he left the room and made his way to Midoriya. 
"Aye Deku!" Bakugou shouted. "Meet me at my house after school. Make sure you have a pen and paper." When he told Deku to meet up with him, he lowered his voice to a volume he hoped only Deku would be able to hear. He new it would seem like an odd request, which it was, but he didn't mind. As long as Deku came, he would probably be alright.
Deku obviously obliged, he didn't really have a choice. "Of course, Kacchan!" He chirped happily. 
"Oi, shut up, Deku." He said a little quieter than his normal threatening tone. "Don't tell anyone."
Deku nodded, his lips sealed, for if they weren't, his head would probably been blown into a million different pieces. 
When he headed over to Kacchan's house, the lesson of that day was still in his head. Aizawa was proud of him since he had been using his legs instead of his arms. However, he was still able to hurt his arms when he fought. Aizawa did already know that him and All Might were going to be working on that particular issue. He had been too lost in thought to realized that he had already arrived. "Oh!- I'm here." Izuku walked to the door and knocked nervously. 
Katsuki only realized he was at the door because he was standing there waiting for him to arrive. He opened the door with a frown. "Come in! Knock louder next time, shit-nerd!" He shouted, once again. 
Deku nodded, "S-Sorry, Kacchan." He spoke quietly in response to the boys yelling. 
Katsuki lead the green-haired male up to his room. "I hope you brought that pen and paper, Deku." When they reached his room, the air got thicker. "So... I'm going to say something and you're going to write your response." 
The request from Kacchan was weird, but he obviously obliged. Deku blushed slightly, he was in the same room as his childhood 'friend'. He was in the same room as someone who tormented him for awhile, but he knew Bakugo probably never meant it. After all, his mother, Inko, had always said that when boys like someone, they usually make fun of them. Izuku wasn't certain if Kacchan actually had feelings for him, he would be very surprised if he actually did. 'How would I feel if Kacchan liked me?' 
"Oi Deku! Why is your face all read?!" Bakugou shouted. "I need you to listen to me, okay?" He spoke softly, which caught the green-haired male's attention. 
Deku nodded and sat on Kacchan's bed, right next to the ash-blonde. 
"So, Deku," Bakugou paused and gulped nervously. "My quirk...It hurts me too use it...My ears..." He winced at his own words. 'You can trust him, Bakugou. Even though you ruined his life, he stuck to your back like glue.' 
"Kaccha--"
"Write it down, Deku. I can barely hear your quiet voice." Bakugou said in an almost whisper. 
Midoriya's heart was in visible pain. What had happened to his Kacchan? Kacchan was always so strong and manly... Nothing ever bothered him! Midoriya gripped the notebook he held in his hand firmly. He wrote, "Is this a joke, Kacchan?" 
Bakugou scowled, "No it isn't a joke, shit-nerd! I'm telling you this because I- Because you are hurt by your quirk sometimes and I'm hurt...By mine..." 
Midoriya wrote faster this time, "Thank you for telling me. I won't tell anyone else. I promise." 
Bakugou read it and smirked, 'Maybe I should do something to ensure this is kept a secret?' he thought to himself. "Is there anything else you have to write, Deku?" 
Midoriya smiled and nodded. He smiled and began to write. 'Kacchan...Does this mean we're friends? Do we come to each other whenever we have problems?' Midoriya was hoping for a positive response. 
Bakugou sat silently for a few minutes. He went to Deku with his problem, and it would probably do him some good if he was able to get onto Deku's good side. There was a part of him that wanted to steal a kiss from the green-haired male to keep his secret safe. Of course it would've been coupled with rumor of Deku being gay. However, some parts of Bakugou really wanted this kiss. Bakugou had went to Deku for comfort, and he wanted a kiss for comfort too. "Yes. We can support each other." He managed. 
Midoriya jumped to his feet and cheered, "Yay! Kacchan I'm so happy!!" 
The ash-blonde held his breath for a moment, he grabbed Deku's hand. Deku looked back at his childhood friend, his wide green orbs for eyes. A bright red blush crossed his face right after Midoriya looked back at him. "I uh, nevermind." 
Izuku frowned and released himself from Kacchan's grip. "Why 'nevermind'?" He inquired. When Bakugou didn't respond, Deku looked at him with wide eyes. He began to pout at the ash-blonde.
Bakugou looked at him and fought back a smile, Deku looked really cute. Shit. "No Izu--I mean Deku." He scoffed at himself, 'How could I have messed up THAT poorly, calling that shit-nerd by his name? What the hell!'
The green-haired hero in training blushed madly. He never heard Kacchan call him by his real name. He kept replaying the beginning of his name in his mind. 'Izu-' he thought with a nervous smile.
Bakugou was going to pull the bastard back and kissed him a few seconds ago, but it wasn't time for that. It would've been the spur of the moment thing, he wouldn'tve meant it and it probably would've ripped his heart out. 'That's not what I should do to him. If it's not serious, I will have made him upset. If he doesn't like it, I would've made him uncomfortable.' 
Before Midoriya left, which he was on his way to do, Bakugou slipped him a small piece of paper. In it, was his phone number. Midoriya was shocked at first. If he had asked before this he would've gotten hit in the face. 
The happy and cheerful Midoriya skipped back to his house, and when he got home, his mother noticed how much happier her son seemed.
"So Izuku...You seem happy~." Inko teased her hero.
"Ah! Mom! Kacchan gave me his phone number. I helped him with something, and now guess what! He says that we can support each other!" Izuku took a moment to breathe. "Kacchan doesn't hate me!" 
"Of course not, Izuku-dearest." Her smile was warm. "Why don't you contact him now? Or at least put his number in your phone and text him in the morning." Inko suggested. 
"I'll message him in the morning." The wide eyed male blushed and giggled. "I'm going to go to sleep now, Mom. I'll eat in the morning. I can't wait for the morning..." His voice trailed off as he disappeared into his room. 
Inko smiled and pulled out her phone, scrolled through the contacts and reached, 'Mitsuki, Katsuki's Mother'. She went to text the blonde a nice message. 'Hello again, Mitsuki! I just wanted you to know that whatever Katsuki and Izuku spoke about today made him really happy. I'm grateful your son is treating him so we'll all of the sudden. We should get coffee sometime and catch up!' 
-
Izuku was asleep very soon, he dreamt of saving the world and praises from All Might. In the middle of his hero dream, it switched to something completely different. He was in Kacchan's room again. 'Why am I here? Where's Kacchan? Won't he be mad I'm here...?' Katsuki walked into the frame of his dream, "What are you doing here, shit-nerd? I thought you said last time was indeed the last time? Was my kiss so good it brought you back to me? I knew it would. Dirty, Deku." Kacchan said with a chuckle to Midoriya in his own dream. 'Huh? Kiss? Me and Kacchan? Why would Kacchan kiss me?' 
-
A few hours passed and it was finally time for Izuku to wake up. When his eyes fluttered open, they landed on his phone which he fell asleep with it in his hands. "My dream...What was it about? I don't remember..." He mumbled and stood to his feet. He slipped on his U.A school uniform and sighed as he sat down at the table. His mother was already sitting down waiting for him.
"Good morning, Izuku darling." She chirped and motioned to the seat across the table from here. "Come eat, you didn't even have dinner last night." 
With a sigh, Izuku joined his mother for breakfast. He ate slow at first but sped up whenever he remembered that Kacchan had given him his phone number. "Right! I have to text Kacchan!" 
Inko laughed, "You haven't already? Goodness, Izuku," She laughed once more. "Eat quickly and get to school, dear." 
Izuku nodded and scarfed down the rest of his plate, he placed the plate into the sink and ran to his room, grabbing his phone and backpack. He typed Kacchan's number into his phone and then crafted a text. 'Hey Kacchan! Good Morning! I have a question about school though. Do you want me to talk louder when I'm around you, or would you rather I spoke regularly to you to avoid suspicion?' and 'sent!' Midoriya smiled to himself and ran out of the door. 
A few minutes later he received a text from Kacchan. It read: 'Oi, shitty Deku. Just speak normally when you speak to me, or you know, not at all. We can always talk after school...' That made Izuku's heart race. "After school..." He repeated to himself. 'Why is my heart--'  He cut his thoughts short and started into a sprint when he checked the time on his phone. He'd be late! 
When he arrived, he was a few minutes from being late all together. Every head turned, with the exception of Bakugou. Izuku rushed to his seat quietly and avoided eye contact with the rest of his class.
Aizawa spoke about everyone's physical impacts of their quirks. While he didn't make the impacts of an individual's quirk on the holder, he did say, however, that he would be passing out papers to everyone, and on some of the papers would tell the individual whether or not they had to go to extra training. 
Bakugou rubbed his eyes. 'Fuck. I'm tired. I didn't sleep well last night. Why couldn't I sleep?' The paper hit his desk, which triggered a sense of alertness. "Oh-" he mumbled. Katsuki picked up the piece of paper and sighed a relief filled sigh. Behind him, he could hear Midoriya sigh even louder. "Looks like I'm in the extra classes." He heard him say. 
After a little bit, it was finally time for lunch. Bakugou sat with Kirishima and Denki and Sero. While the three boys sat there gossiping about random rumors they had heard, and everyone except for Kirishima mentioned a beautiful girl that had caught their eye. Bakugou, however, was very distracted. His eyes were glued to his phone as he texted Midoriya. 
-
Deku: 'Hey Kacchan!'
Kacchan: 'What is it, nerd?' 
Deku: 'I was wondering if you were going to be doing anything later today after school?' 
Kacchan: 'Well, I was planning on asking if you'd come over to talk again. I'd like your company.' 
That message made Deku's heart practically stop, and it made Kacchan blush when he looked across the cafeteria and spotted Deku a blushing mess.
Kacchan: 'Don't twist it, shit-nerd. I just need to rant.' 
Deku: 'Mhm! I wasn't going to twist it. See you later then.' 
Katsuki and Izuku put down their phones and focused on their meals. Katsuki noticed a vibration from his phone a few minutes later. With an annoyed sigh he took it out of his pocket and read the message. 
Deku: 'Kacchan, would it be alright if we walked to your house together? We don't have to! I just wanted to know if you wanted to!' 
Bakugou's eyes widened when he read the text. He was in partial shock. The ash-blonde didn't realize how bold Midoriya was when it came to asking something like that. Before he replied, he glanced over at Deku, who was once again, holding his hands to his face as a bright red covered it. That sight earned a chuckle from Katsuki. 
Kacchan: 'Sure.' 
Midoriya checked his phone for Kacchan's reply, and when he read it, another smile and blush wave flooded his way. 'He didn't even call me a name!'  
-
School felt endless, especially for Midoriya. His brain was completely filled with things about Kacchan. His sudden kindness triggered some sort of feeling within him, it felt warm and fuzzy. However, as a hero-in-training, he should probably resolve those feelings as soon as he could. He didn't know if they'd end up impacting him during battle or even in his home life. 
Katsuki waited at the front steps for Izuku, who had taken longer than he would've liked. "What took you so long, shit-nerd?!" He shouted at Deku, who was literally right next to him. 
Midoriya motioned for the boy beside him to lower his voice, to which Bakugou frowned. "Anyway, what are we going to be doing today?" Izuku made his voice a little louder so that the ash-blonde would be able to hear him.
Bakugou pondered it for a moment. "Being able to somehow decrease the impacts my quirk has on my ear would probably be the best course of action. Like, things I could put in my ear or something. Then maybe a way to quiet the explosions? Not that I want to quiet them down. I love the sound they make." He chuckled evilly.
That chuckle Kacchan gave Izuku chills down his spine. 'Oh my.' he thought to himself. "Right! I think that's a great idea." He replied loudly for it to be audible to the male next to him. 
Little dig those two know, but Kirishima and Denki stood in the bushes and watched, they had plans to stalk him and maybe even take random pictures, just to see how mad their friend Bakugou would get. Those two followed Midoriya and Bakugou all the way to where Bakugou lived. It took them a while to locate where Bakugou's room was, but once they found it, they were in for a treat...Of sorts...?
Midoriya sat on Kacchan's bed, 'Wow...' He thought to himself greedily. "So, we'll need to find earplugs, for you. Maybe that would work?" He said, still keeping a louder voice level.
"Maybe." Katsuki replied, as he went into his bathroom and pulled a pair out of a cupboard. "I have these from when I used to go to the doctor for this problem. I grew out of that old hag's medical methods." He handed the pair to Midoriya. Katsuki was having a hard time keeping his voice down, he couldn't tell whether or not Izuku was having trouble hearing him or not.
"Oh...I'm putting them in you?" The green-haired male seemed surprised, but still maintained a loud voice. 
"Sure, go ahead." Katsuki nodded. 
Midoriya closed in on Bakugou, who sat down on the bed next to Midoriya. "Here we go..." He said whenever he slipped them into his ears. "That should work!" He chimed in, a little louder than before due to his earplugs. "Now make a little sound with your quirk!" He urged. 
Bakugou could hear 'sound' and 'quirk' but that was all. He held out a hand and made a little explosion flicker like he did with Aizawa. He wasn't wincing- yet. The sound increased in intensity, which caused Bakugou to wince a little from the pain. 
"Stop if it hurts, Kacchan!" Izuku shouted. 
Bakugou stopped hesitantly. "It's not like it hurt, damn Deku!" He shouted. 
Midoriya moved back to Katsuki and removed the plugs from his ears. "I understand, Kacchan." 
In that moment, a light met Izuku's eyes, which made the green in them sparkle. 'Shit.' He thought. 
"Speaking of problems, Kacchan," Midoriya spoke up. "I'm having a bit of a problem myself." He admitted, still maintaining a loud voice just like he would continue to do for the duration of his time at Kacchan's house.
"What's that?" Katsuki inquired. 
"I'm starting to get this weird feeling in me. Like butterflies or something! I don't know why, but I'd like it to go away. I don't know how it will impact my battle results." He smiled. 
"Hm," Bakugou pondered this for a moment. "Why don't we play a game, Deku?" He suggested.
"What kind of game, Kacchan?" The green-haired male wondered. 
"Truth or Dare," Katsuki stated. "It'll be so much fun, Iz-- Deku." 
"Sure." Midoriya accepted. 
Meanwhile, Kirishima and Denki sat outside patiently, waiting for something interesting to happen. 
"So, I'll go first, shit-nerd. You're starting out with a truth. We both are." Bakugou stated. "Do you like round-face?" 
Midoriya seemed shocked, "Hm, not really. She seems like the right choice for Iida-kun. Not me though. I don't think I'd make her, or anyone else happy like that." He admitted.
'That's good. Wait! Why did I think that was good?'  Bakugou only nodded his head. 
"Kacchan, are you only talking to me now because you needed a little comfort with the situation regarding your ears?" Izuku asked quizzically. 
"Well, not entirely. I thought you'd be a good fit for improvision. And besides, you are hurt by your quirk. Thankfully you've been able to find ways around that though, for the most part at least." Bakugou said truthfully. "Now, truth or dare, little shit?"
"Dare!" Exclaimed Izuku. 
"I dare you, to say or do something to me you that would make me want to kill you." His lips grew a wicked smirk. 
"Uhh...Kacchan...Hmm..." He thought for a moment. 'What should I do?' he thought to himself this time. "Bakugou, I'm really thankful that you wanted to tell me about this problem you're having. Thank you for putting your faith and trust in me to fix it." To put the finishing blow on this, Izuku stood up from Bakugou's bed and pulled Bakugou up with him. Izuku pulled him close to him and gave him a bear hug. 
"Wah- Deku?! Don't just hug me like that!" Katsuki stopped for a second and blushed madly in Izuku's arms. "I uh- Forgot this was the dare." He chuckled at himself. 
Snap. The camera clicked.
"So Kacchan! Truth or Dare?" He asked the ash-blonde as he finally let go of the taller man.
"Hmm, dare for me as well." 
"I dare you to call me by my name, Kacchan." 
"Your what?! I'm saving that!" Katsuki blurted out. "I mean, I'm not going to say your name. Your real name for me is Deku. Got it, shit-nerd?!" Bakugou shouted. 
"What are you saving my name for, Kacchan?" Midoriya asked, but to no avail. 
Midoriya glanced out of the window, Kirishima and Denki dodged just in time. "It seems it's getting rather late."
Bakugou nodded in agreement. In some way, he never wanted their time to end. He wouldn't mind playing these childish games with Deku. After all, their childhood fun was ruined by him. "Let's do this again tomorrow, what do you say, Deku?"
Izuku blushed, "R-Really Kacchan?! Yes! Sure!" 
Katsuki got a random burst of confidence and grabbed Izuku's chin, he tilted it upwards so that his face would be right in front of his own. "Don't forget it." Katsuki managed to whisper. 
Midoriya jolted and freed himself from Bakugou's grip. "Right! I-I won't forget, Kacchan! I promise!" Izuku cheered and waved goodbye to Kacchan as he left his room. 
"Bye, Deku." 
Midoriya walked out and had a strange feeling that he was being watched. 'It's probably nothing.' I thought to myself. 
"Kiri! We have got to come back tomorrow. I think they're doing this again. We need more to hold against Bakugou!" He laughed, thankfully quiet enough do that Midoriya didn't hear. 
"Fine, Den." Kirishima nodded hesitantly and the two parted and headed towards their own houses as soon as Midoriya was out of sight. 
When Midoriya got home, dinner was on the table, along with a note. 'Hi Izuku dearest! I'll probably be asleep by the time you're reading this. I wasn't feeling well, so I will be trying to rest up. Eat and get to bed. Love, Mom.' Midoriya smiled at the handwritten note. He took his plate to his room to finish it off there. Izuku contemplated this for awhile, but he decided it would be a nice thing to do to send Bakugou a goodnight text! 
Deku: 'Hey Kacchan. I know it's a little late, but I wanted to tell you goodnight. I'll see you tomorrow after school! I won't forget, that's a promise.' 
Kacchan: 'Goodnight, Deku.' 
- 
At Kacchan's house, he had been tossing and turning since Midoriya's goodnight text. A small feeling of butterflies hit his stomach. "What?" He muttered out. "Why does it feel like that?" He mumbled once more. He sighed and turned to his side, "Oh well." Bakugou fell asleep with the thoughts of the next day in his head. He had some sort of inkling that something weird might happen to Midoriya, but might benefit himself instead of hurt. 'Whatever.' he thought inwardly, while drifting to sleep quickly. 
In his dream, he dreamt of Deku. He saw them staying somewhere. It was either at Deku's house or his own, it was sort of dark in the room. When he looked to the side, he saw Deku. He was holding a box of tissues, and that green bastard was holding onto the ash-blonde beside  him, his Kacchan.
When morning came, it came slower than Bakugou would've wished it to. "What a weird dream." He mumbled. Almost as soon as Katsuki woke up, he got a good morning text from Deku. 'Damn. He's really committed.' he thought inwardly. 
-
Bakugou and Midoriya made their ways to school, separately of course. They arrived at about the same time. When they sat down, Bakugou glanced behind him to see Izuku lost in thought with a small smile spread across his lips. 'I wonder, what could he be thinking about?' 
Midoriya caught him staring, to which he immediately turned away and blushed. 'Oops.' He chuckled at himself. "Sorry Kacchan." 
Class began and went on for an excruciatingly long time, but Aizawa was about to change that boredom! "Class, we'll be doing some partner work...And I will be assigning your partners as well." 
As soon as that was announced, a teacher walked in and went to Aizawa's side. "Midoriya and Bakugou, you're being summoned for a moment. Class, we can continue when I return." Aizawa said. 
Midoriya nervously got up from his seat and went with the other teacher into the hallway. Bakugou followed closely behind him. When they left the classroom the teacher who pulled him out finally spoke. "Your mother sent us a message, we are just here delivering it to you. Bakugou, your parents will be out of town for a few days on business. Midoriya, your mother joined them but will be coming back sooner than Bakugou's parents."
The teacher paused, letting this sink in for a moment. 
"Oh...I see. What does that mean for Kacchan and I?" 
"Bakugou?" He asked.
"Yes." Midoriya chuckled. 
Bakugou was wondering why his parents had to go out of town on business. He didn't mind though. It would get the old hag out of his hair for at least a few days. 
"Well, Bakugo would probably stay with you, or you'd stay with him. Seeing as both of your parents left, I wouldn't see why you both couldn't room together for a little bit," The teacher stated. "Do you think that would be alright with you both?"
"I-I uh...Suppose it could work!" Midoriya chimed. Bakugou only nodded his head with a slight 'Tch' following it.
"Good. Hopefully you'll be able to get along while you're together." He smiled and turned to walk away. "Have a good day, you two!" 
Once the teacher had left, Midoriya sighed and went back into the class. Bakugou once again, followed behind him closely. 
"Midoriya. You're partnered with Bakugou. You both weren't in the classroom whenever we picked." Aizawa said monotonously, as usual.
Midoriya looked behind him at the partners who were seated together. Kirishima and Denki, Todoroki and Shoji, Momo and Jirou, etc etc. Midoriya put his head on the desk and sighed. 'I have to stay with his childhood bully for a few days. Would Kacchan be mean to him?' He jumped when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Izuku looked up and saw Todoroki. 
"I saw you put your head down...What's wrong, Midoriya?" Todoroki's voice was warm and soothing, it was something he had craved to feel. 
"Oh... Todoroki-kun! It's nothing, I'm fine.." Izuku said and smiled at Todoroki. "Thank you for your concern though, Todoroki-kun." 
Bakugou looked back and saw Todoroki with his hand on Midoriya's shoulder, and he saw the green-haired males reddish eyes, looking as if he had been crying, or at least very close to it. 
"I'm not leaving, Midoriya." The half-and-half boy stated firmly. "I want you to tell me what's been going on with you. If you won't tell me here, I'll bring you somewhere private." 
Todoroki's voice sounded different, while it was soothing, there was something weirdly exciting about going somewhere alone with Todoroki. Todoroki-kun was being persistent about knowing what's wrong with him, he was persistent about caring for him. A blush crossed the green boy's face. "Well, I uh, wouldn't mind going somewhere in private during lunch." Midoriya smiled, the blush still lingering on his face. 
Bakugou was fighting the sudden urge to beat Icyhot into oblivion. 'Alone with Deku? Alone...Deku and Icyhot...' He thought inwardly. Their conversation wasn't exactly kept too quiet, but it was only loud enough for those in the seats directly next to or behind, and obviously in front of them. 
When lunch came, Bakugou watched closely as Todoroki reached for Midoriya's hand, but missed-or got nervous- and grabbed his wrist instead, earning a blush from the green-haired aspiring hero. The two of them moved outside carefully, and they stopped when they got underneath a green tree that waved in the wind. Bakugou followed, taking Kirishima with him as well.
Midoriya stood against the wall of the school, and Todoroki stayed directly in front of him. "Now Midoriya, tell me what happened." 
"Well, Todoroki-kun. Kacchan's parents and my parents went out of town. Kacchan and I have to stay at each other's houses until they come back. I'm just worried he'll hurt me...I mean, he's been nicer recently but who is to say that it won't change when we're completely alone!"
"Does staying at Bakugo's house scare you? Or rather, does being with him scare you?" Todoroki said quickly, he had an odd surge of protectiveness flowing through him. "My father isn't the greatest, but you could stay with me instead." Todoroki suggested. 
"I'm not really scared of Kacchan, Todoroki-kun. It's just that...He's been really nice to me lately, I'm just scared it will run out one day. All I've ever wanted is for him to talk with me and be my friend. He even said we would be supportive of each other! I was so happy..." Midoriya explained, an ever growing blush spreading on his face. 
"I'm sorry, Midoriya. I don't think he will ever change, if I'm speaking honestly. He's probably using you for something. Did he recently ask you to help him with anything?" Todoroki inquired, curiously. 
"I uh...I shouldn't say. Kacchan would be angry. It's a secret, Todoroki-kun! I wouldn't want to disappoint him if he was to find out..." Midoriya's face seemed to hold some displeasure now. Todoroki's harsh words didn't help much. 
Todoroki leaned in on the green-haired boy. One arm basically keeping him from moving, and the other hand grabbed his chin. Midoriya only thought about Kacchan whenever he had grabbed his chin and lifted him upwards. "Midoriya, you can tell me anything, you know." He stated with a confident smirk. 
The half-red half-white haired male moved his hand from Midoriya's chin and then to his hand. Todoroki held onto Midoriya's hand and thumbed his scars. 'His hands are oddly soft despite the scars he's obtained.' Todoroki said inwardly. Shouto brought his scarred hand you to his lips and gave them a small kiss. 
Midoriya teared up, his face was about the color of a tomato. "You didn't really have to do that, Todoroki-kun!" He whimpered, and then covered his face with his hands. 
"I didn't have to, I know." Todoroki gave a genuine laugh and backed away from Midoriya. "You have my number, don't you? Let's talk later on." 
They were walking back into the building and Midoriya grabbed Todoroki's hand with a smile. To which Todoroki felt a pang against his heart. 'Shit. He's so cute.' Todoroki said inwardly. 
"Of course. I'd love to talk with you later on as well. And maybe you could come over while my mother is away and Kacchan is over." He suggested, oddly calm. 
When they finally reached the doors entrance, Midoriya let go of Todoroki, and they immediately began to talk about the problem Midoriya had outside. 
"Hm, well, I think Bakugou would behave himself around you. Hopefully." Todoroki chuckled. They got through the door, and to the right of the door, stood Kirishima and Bakugou. Bakugou looked like he was about to explode, which triggered something within him. Midoriya grabbed Todoroki's arm and squeezed it, he pulled it forward a little bit, signaling for him to move faster. 
Todoroki luckily got the hint and they both started into a jog through the hallway, and tried to play it cool. "We'll be late to class if we don't hurry, Midoriya!" Todoroki laughed loudly, as they jogged through the hallway and into their next class. "Ha..It seems we were a few minutes early." 
Escaping Bakugou's anger with Todoroki made Izuku feel excited. It was a rush. "Thank you, Todoroki-kun! You really made my day..." 
Todoroki smiled and nodded, "And you made mine, Midoriya. This was the most I've smiled in a...While." he admitted. Though his point of conversation seemed to change for a moment, "Why did you want us to go faster, Midoriya?" 
"I saw Kacchan. And I was afraid he had seen me and you...T-Together..." Midoriya mumbled. 
"Ah, I see. I have to sit at my desk now, Midoriya. Don't forget to contact me." He winked and then took his seat at his desk. 
Bakugou and Kirishima walked in slowly. Kirishima was patting Bakugou on his shoulder, and Bakugou looked angrier than before. He walked to his desk and sat down, an aura of angry surrounded Bakugou, it not only scared Midoriya, but also everyone else in their class as well. 
When class ended and they were dismissed, Bakugou stormed out of the class. Midoriya wasn't far behind him either. When he reached the classes steps, and he was sure that Todoroki was in the line of sight of Midoriya. Bakugou drew his hand back and punched Midoriya square in the face. 
Midoriya fell to the ground, a hand went up to his face, "Ow! K-Kacchan! What did I do?!" He asked the ash-blonde and then stood to his feet.
After that, not once did Bakugou look back at the green-haired boy. And not once did Midoriya falter in staying on track with Bakugou. He followed the ash-blonde all the way to his house and into his room. Kirishima and Denki kept their promise and set up their camera and waited for something interesting to go down. 
When they reached his room, Bakugou threw his backpack across the room. "What the fuck, Deku?!" 
"What do you mean, Kacchan?!" Izuku screamed. 
"Kirishima told me what you were saying, and I saw what went down, you dumbfuck!" Bakugou shouted back at him. He was filled with hurt in one of the weirdest way. Bakugou never felt so weird when it came to Deku. But after seeing him kiss Todoroki and then grab his hand willingly, he wanted to punish Midoriya. 
Midoriya felt hurt as well, he didn't mean to offend Bakugou or make him upset. He admitted, the kiss was a spur of the moment thing. Midoriya didn't feel like it would be a serious thing between them. "Kacchan! It was a spur of the moment thing! And didn't you see? Todoroki kissed me, I didn't kiss him, you... You idiot! And besides, it was only a small kiss on my hand. You're lucky he didn't go any further!" 
Bakugou frowned, "Don't talk to me that way, damn nerd! I'll make you regret ever touching him!" 
Midoriya had a second to be confused. "Huh--" 
Katsuki didn't let him finish his thoughts. He grabbed the "shit-nerd" by his collar and threw him on to the bed. Midoriya leaned more than halfway on the bed and the rest of him was leaning off. Katsuki frowned and pushed him up higher onto the bed and climbed on top of him. "I will make you regret touching him, Deku." Bakugou said with a devilish smirk. Katsuki held the shorter boy down with one hand and his other hand he let trail down Midoriya's body. With great speed, he leaned down to Midoriya and kissed him on the lips. 
Snap. A camera clicked.
Midoriya felt his heart throbbed along with Bakugou's. "Mmm!" He squirmed and hoped for release. His heart probably wouldn't able to withstand much more.
Katsuki finally finished up with the lips of his former rival after a deep kiss that was more rough than not. Bakugou smiled at the mess that was Midoriya's beet red face. He leaned back down, Midoriya expected another kiss, but Bakugou went for his neck. He suckled and bit on one place that was relatively high and would be a hickey by the morning. Deku whimpered under the ash-blonde as he made the mark, Bakugou was unable to hear the sounds that he made, but he had a glimpse of the facial expression the smaller boy gave, and that was good enough in that very moment. Bakugou then pulled away from Midoriya's neck and moved up to his ear, nibbling on it for just a minute before saying, "You're mine, Izuku Midoriya." 
Snap. A camera clicked.
That sentence alone made Midoriya go wild, he practically screeched at the sound of his name. "Kacchan..." He managed. "Are we- Did you- Am I going to have mark on my neck?!" His voice worked into a shout as he asked his, who he thought to be just a friend, if people would notice the mark.
"That's what you're worried about, Deku? I could've made those all over you. Hell, if you're not careful maybe I will," Bakugou smiled down at the now messy and panting Midoriya, who had gotten excited over a kiss and his name being said. "First you let that Icyhot kiss you and then you call me an idiot and threaten the idea of him doing worse to you. Fucking worthless." He mumbled out.
"I...Have a question. What do you mean by 'I'm Yours', Kacchan?" Midoriya asked. It was of course a little louder than he would've liked it to be. 
"I mean you can't run off with Icyhot. You don't belong to him. You can't kiss him, hold his hand, nothing. You can talk to him if it pleases you, but you're not to touch him." Bakugou warned.
"And if I am to kiss him? What will the consequences be? What if I want him to speak to me in a soothing way like he did while he kissed me?" Midoriya asked, a daringly high tone. 
"You seem to be lacking my knowledge in a few subjects...While our parents are away, I'll just teach you why you won't and won't want to stay with that half-and-half bastard." He retorted. 
"Whatever you say, Kacchan. Where will we stay while our parents are away?" Midoriya's voice got a little quieter. 
"I can barely hear you, Mi-- Deku," Katsuki admitted. "We also need to work on getting my hearing back to normal and then having a way of protecting it before battle." He strategized. 
"Definitely!" Deku cheered. "And I asked which house you'd like to stay in?" He repeated, louder this time. 
"Your house has nerd germs...But let's stay there. I want to see your house again," Bakugou stated in an almost demand like way. "Your mom will be home sooner than mine, so we can always just tell your mom you'll stay here until they get back. To keep me entertained and all." He joked.
"Ha! We'll see, Kacchan. Let's go before it gets dark then. We still need to eat dinner." Izuku chimed and then helped Bakugou pack a bag of clothes. He didn't take much, as he was unsure how long he'd be staying, and he could always come back for more. 
When they were walking out of the front door, Izuku reached out and grabbed Bakugou's hand. 
Snap. A camera clicked.
"What are you doing, Deku?" The ash-blonde asked the green-haired boy, who was still a blushing mess. 
"H-Holding...Your...Hand..." Midoriya managed to say it just loud enough for Bakugou that it sounded like a whisper. 
"Not what I meant, dumbass. I meant why are you holding my hand?" Bakugou felt a knot in his throat and a pang in his chest. He had just kissed the smaller boy a few minutes ago, it made him happy, but then seeing maybe a sign of the feeling being reciprocated made him a little happier than he was before. 
Midoriya pulled away shyly as soon as he was called a 'dumbass'. "Sorry, Kacchan." They walked in silence until they reached his place of residency. "This is it!" Midoriya chirped.
Kirishima and Denki had to go home though. While they would've loved to stay and see what would happen, they were already pushing their limits of patience with standing around and waiting. 
The two U.A students walked up to where Izuku lived. Bakugou thought it was rather small, but he didn't complain. He thought it was a cute house, but how long would it hold him? 
"Alright, Kacchan. We also have to work on that project." Midoriya said in a tone Bakugou could thankfully hear. 
"I'll cook, you work on the project," Bakugou demanded and went to work in the kitchen. 
Deku sat all of the materials he would need on the table, which wasn't too much. He had been given a set of instructions by Aizawa later that day because he asked for them, if he didn't, he would've had to message Todoroki or someone else who was in the classroom listening. And being caught texting someone, especially Todoroki, didn't seem like the best course of action. Midoriya began to read the instructions, 'We all know that a being a hero is made of different things. Things like passion, strength, and things as such. Your task is to pick the weakest thing of your partner. Does your partner lack passion? Write about how to improve that passion.' When he finished, he got a sick feeling. He would have to write negative things in a positive way to Kacchan. 
Bakugou finally finished with making food, he grabbed the one bowl of food he made and brought it to the table. "We're sharing." He muttered. "Your house didn't have enough for two damn bowls, Deku. We're going to get more ingredients tomorrow for dinner." Again, in a demanding voice. "Explain the project to me." 
"Well, we basically have to pick something that's weak about your partner. Like, lacking when it comes to the basis of a hero. For example, if someone lacks passion, you would write about how to improve their passion." Midoriya explained.
Bakugou looked like he understood, he nodded his head and picked up some of the food he had prepared and shoved it into Midoriya's mouth. "There. Eat." 
Midoriya seemed surprised at first, his blush returned to his cheeks. "Thank you, Kac-cchan." He covered his mouth so that he could thank the ash-blonde without revealing the food that he was chewing. 
"It's not a problem. What do you think my weakest part about being a hero is?" Katsuki inquired. 
Izuku didn't answer at first. He placed a hand to the hickey he had received a little while ago, he didn't want another one. He didn't even know how to explain this one to his classmates if they were to find out. "Well...Maybe h-humility and keeping your voice a little lower while you're out and on patrol?" As soon as he was done with speaking, he flinched and moved himself backwards.
That earned a chuckle out of the ash-blonde, "You thought I'd bite you again, didn't you, Deku?" 
"Y-Yes..." Midoriya admitted, still loud enough for Bakugou to hear. 
"No no. You didn't really piss me off like you did earlier today. I respect your opinions on the matter of our subject, and I'm not going to discredit you of them or something like that. It's all opinion based. Just because you might think something is low about me that clearly isn't, it doesn't mean that it's a fact." Bakugou explained in an oddly calm fashion. 
"I see." Midoriya chimed. "Let's work hard on this tommorow, okay? It's getting a little later than I would like when it comes to doing homework." He suggested and then pulled out his phone.
Bakugou watched this and picked up another scoop of food and gave it to Midoriya, "Eat." He repeated. 
Midoriya smiled and happily accepted the food. He finished chewing, and Bakugou soon finished off the bowl. "I almost forgot..." Midoriya mumbled. He searched through his contacts and went to Todoroki's number. 
Midoriya: 'Hey Todoroki-kun! I'm sorry I'm sending this so late. Kacchan and I just got back to my house from his. Anyway, sleep well and I'll see you tomorrow!' 
Todoroki-kun: 'No problem, Midoriya. It's not too late, you know. You get some rest as well. I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.' 
Bakugou picked up the bowl and was able to glance over at Izuku's phone and read out the contact name. 'It was that Icyhot bastard.' Bakugou went to the kitchen and washed the bowl and placed it back on the cupboard. "Deku. Clean up your school shit and meet me in your room." 
Midoriya saw that Bakugou was almost already in his room, the sight of All Might would blind the ash-blonde. Without wasting much time, Midoriya packed up the supplies he had gotten out for his project and ran into his room. 
"How do you do anything with All Might figures staring at you like this?" Bakugou asked, baffled at the sight. 
"Well, I've gotten used to them...It's not weird or anything, Kacchan." Midoriya said, sort of happy he was defending his passion for All Might. 
Bakugou grabbed Midoriya's wrist and flung him onto his bed. "How about I ask you some questions, Deku." 
"S-Sure Kacchan. Do whatever..." Midoriya responded. 
"I will," Bakugou retorted. "Why don't you tell me what you look for in a significant other?" The ash-blonde inquired. 
Midoriya was fairly surprised at first, he was expecting another bite from Bakugou, but he just waved that thought away whenever he had asked him a question. "Well...Someone who shows affection towards me and supports me in what I'm doing...Someone who takes their time with me and makes sure I'm comfortable and happy...Someone nice to me...Things like that. Oh and, I would of course try to do the same for whoever my significant other was. Like, I'd hold their hand and maybe kiss them if that would make them happy. I'd support them with almost everything and I'd look for ways to help them whenever I could!" Midoriya stated enthusiastically. 
"Ah, I see, Deku. We need to get to sleep now, nerd. You just stay here and I'll take the couch." Bakugou said. 
"Oh no, Kacchan! You can have the bed, I'll have the couch. It's not really a problem." Midoriya tried. 
"No," he said firmly. "I'll sleep on the couch, you sleep here." Katsuki demanded and then left the room, leaving Midoriya still in the same place he landed when he was thrown. Bakugou made his way to the couch and laid down, his eyes opened and closed slowly. There was so much on his mind. He had to think but he was tired. 
Midoriya curled up alone in his bed, but for some reason, he felt empty. 'Kacchan is just being protective of you because he doesn't like Todoroki-kun. He doesn't like you, calm down.' He tried to reassure himself. 'Saying he didn't like me made me feel...Even emptier. Do I like Kacchan? Up until now, I had suppressed most feelings I had towards others. Especially Kacchan. He knew I wanted to be his friend...But was there something else I pushed down as well?' And with that thought, Midoriya found himself giving into sleep. 
-
When morning finally came, Bakugou went into Midoriya's room. Midoriya's alarm clock would go off in about five minutes. Bakugo turned off the clock and left his own timer on the nightstand. Ten minutes. "Good morning, Deku." Bakugou said warmly, trying to keep his voice down lower and of course, groggily, as he had just woken up minutes beforehand. Bakugou made his way into Deku's bed. He held Deku there as the little spoon. Bakugou's role was fairly obvious.
"K-Kacchan?" He mumbled, "What's going on?" 
"I'm waking you up, dumbass. Just stay still and let me hold you." Bakugou replied irritably. 
Midoriya quieted himself. His only guess to how and why Bakugou was acting this way was because he had just woken up. Midoriya could tell because his voice was had a few cracks in them, and his tone wasn't as loud as usual. 'Liking Kacchan seems unrealistic...But then when things like this happen it seems impossible to not want to latch onto him and let him protect you. What am I even saying? Midoriya you are being a dumbass, pull yourself together. Suppress those feelings, they'll only slow you down.' 
"Mid--Deku. You're tensing up, just relax." Bakugou said with annoyance in his voice. He wanted a few minutes of extra sleep. Where it took place didn't matter to him. However, he couldn't help but notice how nice he felt when he held the smaller boy. 'Is this the kind of affection Midoriya likes?' he wondered. 
Beep beep! Beep beep! 
"Oh! Time to get up!" Midoriya chirped and rolled away from Kacchan and ultimately off of the bed. "Owwie." He mumbled.
Bakugou saw him fall and couldn't help but laugh. 'That hopeless bastard.' he said inwardly. 
They grabbed a small snack for on the way to school, as by the time they were almost ready to go, they wouldn't be able to make any breakfast. "Kacchan. I want to talk with you before we go." 
"What is it, shit-nerd?" Bakugo asked. 
"Well, I don't know why you've claimed me as yours even though for years I could've sworn that you wanted me dead. This morning you put yourself in my bed and held onto me. That, for the first time in a long time, felt safe and warm and it made my heart basically beat out of my chest. I can't tell if all of this has been a joke to you, but it isn't to me. Please Kacchan. Don't play with my feelings." Midoriya said, thankfully loud enough for the ash-blonde to hear. He would've hated to repeat that. Izuku waved at Bakugou and made his way out of the door and down the street as fast as he could. 
Katsuki grabbed his things and wasn't too far behind him. He figured he'd just give him some space before they got to school and before they got back home this evening. 
Midoriya had forgotten about the bite Kacchan had given him. It was reddish with a hint of purple. Unfortunately, Bakugou remembered the hickey, but thought that Midoriya would've remembered it as well. 
When they got into their classroom, which felt like ages, Midoriya could feel stares coming his way. Aizawa wasn't in yet, but half of the class was, including Todoroki and Bakugou, of course. Midoriya ran out of the room and fled into the bathroom. "Oh shit!" He mumbled to himself as he looked into the mirror at the bright red mark with a little purple growing in. 
Bakugou smirked to himself at Midoriya's sudden realization. He was laughing until he saw Todoroki jump out of his seat and run to the bathroom as well. Bakugou began to fume. "That bastard..." 
Todoroki made his way to the bathroom, judging by what was on his neck, that's the only place he could've gone. He ran through the door and locked it behind him. "Midoriya, what happened? I saw you run out and I got worried..." 
"Todoroki-kun! It's nothing please don't look..." Midoriya pleaded, but Todoroki never replied. Instead, he just made his way over to Midoriya.  Izuku had a paper towel that he had gotten wet and pressed it against his neck. 
"What happened, Midoriya? Did Bakugo hurt you?" Todoroki whispered as he closed in on the aspiring hero. 
"I can't be here with you, Todoroki-kun. I'd love to spend time with you but Kacchan might notice and get angry." Midoriya admitted shyly. 
Todoroki was now inches from Midoriya, he grabbed the paper towel that was being held to his neck and removed it. A hickey was revealed to him, and Midoriya's face reddened once again. 
"It's not what it looks like, Todoroki-kun. Kacchan just flicked me there whenever I said something he didn't like. It's not anything else." Midoriya tried to lie.
"Midoriya, that's a hickey. It's what happens whenever someone bites and sucks on one area of the skin..." Todoroki's voice trailed off into nothing. "Just meet me back here during lunch and I'll fix it for you, okay? I have more questions that I'm not letting go." 
Midoriya nodded and the two left the bathroom. The green aspiring hero held his hand over his neck. He could've played it off like he was just using his hand to lean on, but he was already sweating like crazy. 
"Midoriya. Todoroki. Where were you?" Aizawa asked. 
"Sir, Midoriya stormed out of class this morning and I, to hopefully prove myself to be a good friend, followed him to make sure he wasn't hurt." Todoroki said calmly to Aizawa. 
"Alright. Save the drama for after class, Midoriya." Aizawa instructed. "Anywho, today we'll be continuing our work with the project. Sit with your partner and don't hesitate to move around the room. With the approval to move, everyone moved towards their partners. Some went to the right side of the class and others went to the corner. Todoroki and Shoji moved over next to Bakugou and Midoriya and began to work. Aizawa decided it was time for his nap. 
"Hi Kacchan...Let's get to work." Midoriya suggested with a weak smile. 
Bakugou grabbed a piece of paper and wrote, 'I hope you didn't do anything you'd regret in there.' He handed the note to Midoriya with a smirk. 
Midoriya read it and gulped, he grabbed a pencil and wrote, 'I didn't do anything that would've made you upset, Kacchan.' And gave the note back. 
Todoroki eyed the notes they were passing and frowned. "Hm. Well played." He muttered and continued his work with Shoji. 
Most students worked hard on critiquing their partners, Bakugou wrote about Midoriya's fighting techniques, he'd definitely have to work harder on them. A lot of what his quirk was for probably wouldn't work well in a slugfest. Midoriya wrote about Bakugou's lack of humility and his voice tone when he's out on patrol. Midoriya thought that if he was able to speak at a more controlled level, he wouldn't scare people when he was saying something non-threatening. The students wrote and wrote until the class was over. 
Lunch was finally among the students at U.A, Bakugou sat with Kirishima and the rest of the people he tolerated 1.5% of the time, like Denki. He eyed Todoroki as he made his way to the bathroom with Midoriya. 
Denki and Kirishima smiled at one another. 'It was time. Let's show Bakugo what we have pictures of!'  They got out their printed pictures and snickered about them together. "Hey Bakugou!" Denki called out to him. 
"What is it, dunce face?" Bakugou sneered. 
"Well, I have some pictures you'd probably like to see...They are of you, Bakugou." Denki said with a smirk and a chuckle. 
"Whatever, dumbass. You think I care? I have shit to do." Bakugou said, which shut Denki and Kirishima's plans down. Bakugou made his way to the boys bathroom, but he did grab Kirishima's wrist on his way there. "Tell me what you hear, Kirishima." 
Bakugou and Kirishima listened in on Todoroki and Midoriya in the bathroom. "Todoroki-kun..." Midoriya whimpered from inside the bathroom. 
"Midoriya, it'll be okay, I promise. There's nothing scary about this." Todoroki said rather soothingly. 
Midoriya flinched at Todoroki's cool touch against his bitten flesh. "Ah!" He hissed, the sensitive skin practically twitching. 
"He must've bit really hard, Midoriya," Todoroki sighed. "I'm sorry, I really am," he paused for a moment to give Midoriya a break. "I'll talk to him if you want...I'll give him a piece of my mind." The half-red half-white haired male warned. Todoroki didn't heed the warnings Midoriya gave about not touching him. He leaned in on Midoriya's neck and gave him a kiss on the hickey Bakugou had given him. Todoroki marvelled at his work in making Midoriya a blushing mess. "My my, Midoriya. You're bright red." He teased.
"Todoroki-kun! If Kacchan found out that you did that he'd give me another one of those!" Midoriya hissed once more. "Just put the concealer on me already." Midoriya tilted his neck up for Todoroki as much as he could. He tried to avoid eye-contact with Todoroki.
Todoroki dabbled the concealer Momo had made for him onto Midoriya's neck. "There. That should be good. Take it with you and apply it in the morning." Todoroki smiled and handed the concealer to Midoriya. 
Midoriya humbly accepted it with a smile, "Thank you, Todoroki-kun!" He chirped. 
Midoriya gave Todoroki a big hug before he left the bathroom. "I have to go find, Kacchan." 
They left the bathroom, and Kirishima and Bakugou jumped away from the door and pretended like they were just talking about something random. 
"Oh! Kacchan! I have an idea, come with me." Midoriya's lips curled into a wide smile that hit Todoroki and Bakugou's heart. Midoriya grabbed Bakugou's hand and led him to Recovery Girl. 
When he walked in, Recovery Girl sighed. "What can I do for you, Midoriya?" 
"I need you to help my...Friend! His name is Kacchan. Please don't tell anyone, but Kacchan is having trouble with hearing. His explosions are causing him a lot of problems with hearing. Would you be able to reverse some of the damage so we could preserve some of it?" Midoriya pleaded. 
Recovery Girl smiled, "Ah, I see. I'll see what I can do. Please wait outside Midoriya." 
Midoriya turned to leave the room and Bakugou reached out to the green-haired boy and pinched his forearm, "Bastard..." he muttered and moved closer to Recovery Girl. 
The old nurse smiled at Bakugou, "You have an amazing quirk it seems, despite the impacts it's having on your hearing." She worked her magic and in a few seconds, he was done. "I was able to restore a little of your hearing. It might take a few hours to set in though. As for keeping it that way...You'll probably need to speak with your teacher about earplugs of sorts. I can only reverse the damage a few more times, something as sensitive as hearing can't be played with too much," Recovery Girl smiled and led him out of the door. "Bye now, dears."
Bakugou left the room and grabbed onto Midoriya. "What the shit, dumbass?" 
"S-Sorry Kacchan! I just...Thought she could do something about it. That's what I was thinking about last night before I was able to sleep. As well as during class." Midoriya admitted. 
'He thought about me before he went to sleep...' Bakugou repeated inwardly, forcing back smiles. "Hey, Deku. What was Todoroki doing in there with you?" 
"Oh, right. He cleaned up my...Bruising. He noticed it this morning and he went to ask me about it. I think he thought I was being abused or something." Izuku stated calmly, trying to avoid the fact that Todoroki had kissed the irritated skin. 
"Is that all?" Bakugou asked with a sinister smirk, almost as if he knew the answer. He did know what had gone down in the bathroom. Kirishima told him what was being said as well as the sounds that were made. Like, whimpering, a small smooch.
"Of course, Kacchan. Oh yeah, and after school is we still going to be grabbing more food and bowls?" The green-haired boy asked. 
"Yeah," Bakugou replied and turned around, he could've sworn he saw something. He walked away from Izuku and turned the corner, where he saw Todoroki standing. 
Midoriya's phone buzzed. "Oh? I'm getting a call it seems..." He mumbled and the hit the 'Answer' button. 
"Hello?"
"Hello Izuku!"
"Mom! I'm so happy to hear your voice!" 
"Awh I know Izuku, but we need to talk."
"Sure Mom! What about?" 
"Well honey, I'm with Mitsuki and her husband at the moment. We're just hanging out a little down here before we try to head home. I was just wondering what you were up to? I know Bakugou had stayed with you a little. How has that been?"
"It's been...Pretty good! I think we'll be good friends soon enough."
"That's wonderful, Izuku-dearest. Anyway, while I was down here... Mitsuki and I were talking about the jobs we'd like to have. Well, I was, to be more specific. I think it'd be nice to have a job. That way I could support you and buy you as much as you need for school and your hero costume!" 
"Oh Mom- That's really nice of you but I don't need much. As long as you've got my back I think I'll be alright!"
"I know you think that, dear. But we are having a few problems and I'd like to get a job, even if it is just a small one."
"Well, it's your dream Mom. I'll support you wholeheartedly in your decision. Just get back home so you can start looking for jobs!"
"Well, that's the thing, Izuku. I found a job I'm very interested in over here...I wouldn't ever leave you in a million years though, Izuku-dearest! I went in and asked about the office...And they said if I stayed here for at least a week, I could transfer over to the smaller offices where we live." 
"Well that's... That's great! I'm glad! What about Kacchan's parents?" 
"They want to stay, but I'm trying to get them to go. They're really kind-hearted people. Mitsuki says she'd stay with me and send her husband back to watch you both. Oh how it will tear my heart to be away from you for so long!" 
"Either way is fine Mom...Just get back here quickly!" 
"Thank you, little Izuku. I love you more than anything!" 
"I love you too, Mom." 
Midoriya hung up the phone and slumped down against the wall behind him. 'Another week. She's all I've ever known...My father, I don't know him! What if my mother goes away too? This is it! S-She's leaving me too!' He screamed at himself internally. Midoriya tucked his knees to his chest and put his head down, letting tears fall freely down his round freckle-filled face.
Down the hall, Bakugou and Todoroki were having a fun and totally safe conversation. 
"He's mine, Icyhot," Bakugou warned. 
"Are you two dating?" Shouto asked.
Bakugou was taken aback and his eyes widened. "Well..." 
"Exactly," Shouto said, and then cocked his head slightly. "Do you hear that?" 
"Hear what?" Bakugou queried. 
"Crying..." Todoroki said before shoving Bakugou out of the way. When he turned the corner he saw Midoriya with his knees tucked tightly into his chest. Bakugou followed not far behind Icyhot. 
"Midoriya! What's wrong?" Todoroki asked, with a gravely concerned expression plastered onto his face. 
Midoriya wiped his tears and looked up, "It's nothing. Let's just get back to class, okay?" He suggested, trying to get away from him as the topic. 
Bakugou had a strange urge to help Midoriya out, which he would. Later on, of course. He wouldn't just show some random act of affection that probably wouldn't mean anything to either of them in the long run. 
Midoriya stood up and left the two boys standing there. "Getting to class now, bye you two." He did as he said, he left them and went to class directly afterwards. 
Todoroki glared at Bakugou, "If you don't make him happy, I will." 
--
A few more hours passed and it was finally time to leave. Midoriya left the building without Bakugou. He walked with his head down, all the way to the place he feared his mother would just abandon. His home. Once inside, he dropped his book bag at the door and ran to his room. 
Bakugou wasn't far behind Midoriya. When he reached their doorway, he saw Midoriya's book bag had been flung across the room. That made Bakugou chuckle a little bit. 'Anger issues I see, Deku.' he mentally teased. The ash-blonde let himself into Midoriya's bedroom, where he found the boy on his face, flopped into his bed. "Damn Deku. What's going on?" 
Izuku let out a loud sob. He couldn't help but feel betrayed by his mother. Seeing through how shitty it was, Midoriya was able to see his mother's reasoning within it. However, that didn't make everything completely okay. "N-Nothing!" He croaked out. 
"Like hell you bastard. Tell me what's bothering you," His voice got a little deeper, which seemed to make Izuku a little more timid. "I'm not going to hurt you, Deku. I'm not going to do anything to you that you don't want. Not right now at least." He reassured the green-haired boy. Bakugou moved Midoriya to the side and he slipped into his bed. After being seated comfortably in Deku's bed, he pulled the smaller man on top of him. 
Midoriya whimpered, "H-Huh? What are you d-doing Kacchan...?" 
"Shhh and relax, Deku," Bakugou demanded. The smaller boy now laid flat on the ash-blonde's chest. Midoriya hid his face in Bakugou's shirt and didn't dare to move from him. "Tell me what's bothering you." 
"My mom...S-She got a job away from here...And she has to stay another week and possibly more than that. What if she leaves like my d-dad?" Midoriya got himself worked up once more which made him start to breathe heavily again. "I know it's small...I know she loves me but... There's still the fear I have of her leaving me."
Bakugou noticed the smaller male getting worked up again and he began to rub Midoriya's back. He rubbed it up and down, kneaded a little bit and went back to stroking his back in a soothing fashion. "I see. Would you like to go back to my house then?" 
Midoriya sniffled, "I don't care, Kacchan! I just want my Mom around. It's always been us alone. I never had anyone else but her..." The green-haired aspiring hero felt sleep creeping up on him because of Bakugou's touch. "You feel good..." he mumbled. 
Katsuki smiled at Izuku, but he also smiled at himself. 'I can hear his mumbling! And he...He said I felt good! I mean, of course I do but coming from him... Validation never felt so good.' Katsuki kept touching Midoriya softly. 
Soon enough, soft snores filled the room, as well as the ash-blonde's ears. Bakugou slipped out from under Midoriya and left him laying on the bed. He made his way into the kitchen and found a pen and paper. 'I'm at the grocery store. I'll be back soon.' he wrote down swiftly. Bakugou then placed the letter next to Midoriya and left as soon as he could. 
Bakugou was going on the hunt for katsudon, it was Izuku's favorite food in the whole world. He went to a nearby store that sold it for practically nothing. "I'll take this." He demanded as he slipped the cheaply made bowl of katsudon on the register.
The man behind the counter only smiled, "Alright. This is a nice afternoon snack-" he was quickly cut off by Bakugou.
"Shit! Hold on, let me grab something," He came back with instant spicy ramen noodles and slapped those onto the counter as well. "I prefer spicy food. Damn Deku likes katsudon."
The man behind the counter smiled, "Is katsudon for your lucky lady? You seem like a nice gentleman to go out and get this for someone else." He was only trying to make small-talk, but what he didn't know, was that Bakugou hated small talk. And talk in general...When it came to specific people.
"It's just for...My friend. You don't have to assume it's a girl either, do you?" Bakugou hissed.
"Ah ah, my apologies. Anywho, that'll be ¥1,000." (It's 8.86$ in USD) The cashier said apologetically.
Bakugou sighed and handed him the money and left with the two cheap store-bought items in a bag. "Damn nerd better be happy I got this shit for him." As he got into Deku's home, he thought something felt a little off. Ignoring it, he started to unpack the things he had gotten from the small store, which wasn't much to begin with. He removed the plastic wrappings the food items were in and began to prepare them. 
After he was finished, he brought both bowls into Deku's room. "Deku. Oi, Deku. Wake up and eat this food I bought. You'd better appreciate it." 
Midoriya looked up at the ash-blonde groggily, "W-What's this?" He inquired.
"Katsudon." Bakugou replied and gestured the bowl to the green nerd.
Midoriya grabbed the bowl and smiled weakly, "Thank you, Kacchan!" He took a big bite and his weak smile began to fade and then come back as a heavily pleased grin. "It tastes wonderful. Thank you so so much!" 
Bakugou looked away and blushed, "Yeah whatever," he took a bite of his spicy ramen. Even though it didn't meet his expectations when it came to spice, it didn't bother him right then. 'Shit. His face is so adorable...Even after he's been crying and sleeping.' he cooed inwardly. "Anyway, we have to go to the grocery store before they close, you know. Why don't you finish your food and we'll go together?" Bakugou suggested, though in his head, he could think of many other ways he'd love to fill his time other than shopping for cooking ingredients and bowls and such. 
"Yeah, I'll go. I just want to get into something more comfortable than my school outfit." Midoriya complained and then scooped another bite of his katsudon into his mouth, making a 'Yum' sound of approval. 
Bakugou ate quickly, so he was already done with his small meal. Therefore, in preparation to go shopping for kitchen supplies, he did sort of what Deku was going to do. Get comfortable. While Bakugou wanted to maintain some sort of professionalism when he was in public when it came to his outfit, (aka, not looking like a hobo), he decided to take off the coat-piece thing that was always looking so disheveled. Now all he wore was his white button up shirt with the first few buttons left undone.
Midoriya finished eating as he watched Bakugou take off an article of his clothing. He looked down at his empty bowl for a moment to try and get him to calm down. 'Izuku you idiot! He doesn't like you, you don't like him. You're just supporting each other right now. That's all this is.' he beat himself up on the inside. The green-haired boy stood up and put his finished meal to the side, he then began to take off their school's uniform. "Kacchan...I'm going to get undressed- Would you mind stepping outside and shutting the door?" Midoriya asked sweetly.
"Shit- Yeah, you could've told me you were about to change before you started stripping over there, damn nerd!" Bakugou freaked out for a moment as he shut the door as calmly as possible. 'I'm very happy he warned me before he took his shirt off. I wouldn'tve wanted to see that...' 
Midoriya came out with a bright smile. He was wearing a white shirt and a blue hoodie, along with black shorts and his very worn shoes. Undeniably, he was adorable...And he did look very comfy! 
Bakugou fought back a smile at Izuku's outfit choice. 'That does look cute on him...Shit what am I even thinking? I'm not even gay. He helped me with one damn thing and now I like him? I don't think so.' he said to himself reassuringly. 
The two walked outside and down to the grocery store. When they arrived, they saw a fee familiar faces. Particularly Todoroki's. He had a few things to pick up for his mother, which is who he decided to pay an extra visit to today. Midoriya didn't notice Todoroki at first. Bakugou did. The ash-blonde pulled Midoriya into aisles that would lead them away from the half-and-half bastard. 
Midoriya didn't really care where he was headed. Bakugou was at his side at least, but there was something more he wanted. The green-haired boy looked up at Bakugou with a smile, he reached his scarred hand out and grabbed Bakugou's hand. Midoriya intertwined their fingers quickly and then stared up at Kacchan.
Bakugou frowned, "What's this about, Deku? You're lucky we're the only ones on this aisle." 
Unbeknownst to Bakugou, Todoroki was standing on the aisle next to theirs just listening in. It was mainly out of his weird need to protect Midoriya from someone who used to, and probably still did (in his opinion), hurt him. 
Midoriya blushed, "Sorry..." He pulled his hand away slowly, but their fingers didn't come fully undone. 
Bakugou lifted Midoriya's scarred hand to his lips, much like Todoroki did, and gave his hand a sweet kiss. The ash-blonde watched Deku melt away into a blushing mess. "You didn't blush that much for Icyhot, did you?" He mumbled rhetorically. 
Midoriya was, as Bakugou thought, a blushing mess. His face was beet red and his palms got a little sweaty. He pulled away from Kacchan and sighed. 'The way he did that was so...Smooth...Almost like he had done it to me multiple times before now! Or at least practiced it or thought it out!' He mumbled mentally. 
"Oi Deku. What other ingredients do we need? Or at least tell me what food you'd like to have and I'll figure out what we need for it." Bakugou asked.
"We should make...Omurice! Gyudon!" Deku cheered and smiled at Bakugou. "And then Ebi Chili, Curry, Curry Udon for you Kacchan!" He suggested.
Bakugou thought for a moment, "I think that would be nice...I'll pick up the ingredients. Why don't you go grab a few dishes. You know what your mother would approve of around the kitchen, not me." 
"Got it, Kacchan!" Midoriya said and then left Kacchan to search for ingredients all alone. He approached a large section full of silverware, tupperware, pots, pans, and a lot more. Everything looked very pricey though. Buying too much would be a hassle for Kacchan. 'I don't even have money to pay him back with...I have a little bit of money. I'll suggest he takes that.'  His thoughts were soon interrupted by Todoroki, who had snuck up on him. 
"Hi Midoriya." Todoroki greeted monotonously. 
"O-Oh! Hi Todoroki-kun! I didn't know you were here." Midoriya replied happily.
"Yeah, Bakugou moved you all in the farthest direction from me as possible. He really does hate my guts right now I suppose." Todoroki admitted with a chuckle.
"Oh...He did? I'll have to mention it to him.." Izuku. 
"Nevermind that," Todoroki said weakly. "You know he won't stop." 
Midoriya giggled, "It's sad...But you're totally right..." He got lost in thought by the time he had finished his sentence.
"Midoriya? You alright?" Todoroki inquired. 
"Mhm, yeah, I'm alright. Just thinking about what he did earlier today." Midoriya said shyly and looked up to Todoroki.
"What did he do?" The half-red half-white haired male wondered. 
"I uh...Got home a little mad and panicking...And he got onto my bed with me and pulled me on top of him...Where I drifted off to sleep." Just talking about it moved Izuku into a deep red blush. 
"That's good he's being nice and all, but do you think he accepts your feelings, Midoriya?" Shouto questioned warily. 
"What feelings?" Midoriya shot back defensively. 
"You obviously like him, right?" A semi-disappointed smile crossed his face. Happy for his love, but angry with who it was that he had feelings for. 
"I haven't really thought of it b-before..." Midoriya liked and turned to the shelves lined with kitchen materials. 
"Sure," Todoroki chuckled and then turned and left Deku. "Bye, I'll see you later, Midoriya."
Midoriya gave a bright smile as he told half-and-half goodbye and then turned back to his shopping. 
When Bakugou was sure that Todoroki had left and Midoriya was alone, he snuck up to the boy and put an arm around his waist. 
Midoriya looked back, slightly confused. "O-Oh hi again Kacchan. I don't want to pick anything too expensive. However, a lot of things here are expensive so it might take me a moment to locate them." His blush from Todoroki's conversation with him only deepened as he felt Bakugou's hand snake around his waist. 
"Don't worry, take your time." Bakugou bit back any name calling he wanted to do, and any urges he had to let go because they were in public. Midoriya needed to be comforted, and he wanted to help him.
"T-Thank you," Midoriya mumbled and then looked up and down the shelves. He picked out two bowls and another pot. Even if it wasn't a fancy store, the price of everything added up together wouldn't be an easy fare. Izuku smiled after finishing his shopping, "I think my mom will like these." 
"I'm sure she'd like anything you picked out for her. That woman loves you so much it's almost weird." Bakugou scoffed. 
Midoriya laughed, "I guess." His mind slipped back to earlier in the afternoon. He had come home upset, and Bakugou went out and got a cheap version of his favorite meal to help calm him down. 
Bakugou took everything they had to buy to the front counter, where a cashier rung up their items. He flipped the screen that said how much money everything was to Bakugou. Katsuki pushed Midoriya away from it so he wouldn't see how much everything was. Bakugou handed the man some money and grabbed a few bags. "Get the rest of the bags, Deku." 
Midoriya complied and grabbed the rest, he swung them carefully at his feet as he walked. "I still have a few things for my project to finish up, Kacchan."
"That's fine, nerd. I have like a sentence left for you." Bakugou admitted and kept on walking back to Midoriya's home. 
"So, Kacchan, has your hearing gotten better?" Izuku inquired. 
"A little. I can hear most of your quiet mumblings. Whispers are hard to hear unless you say them close up with my ear... That's about it." Katsuki stated. 
Midoriya thought for a moment, "I have a really good idea on how to stop your ear from getting hurt during training or even fighting villains. We should tell Aizawa-sensei and suggest we make some high-tech ear pieces that we can all communicate into. Along with communication abilities, it would also protect our ears from the harsh noises of your explosions, as well as other loud noises. If we were able to avoid combat until then you should be okay. If not, you shouldn't engage." Midoriya finished it off and realized how much he had probably mumbled. 
"That's...An interesting idea. We can talk to Aizawa in private. I don't want the whole class knowing." Bakugou admired Midoriya's idea, he thought it was really brilliant. 
-
"I'll put away all of the dishes and food we got, you get to work on your criticisms of me, Deku." Bakugou demanded. 
"No, I'll feel bad, you don't have to put away all that stuff, Kacchan." Midoriya pleaded. 
"No," Katsuki hissed. "You'll work, I'll put up this shit." 
"Fine..." Izuku mumbled and got to work with his pen and paper. 
After about five minutes, Bakugou was finished with the groceries and he made his way to the couch. He remembered laying his bag full of clothes to change into on the ground. Katsuki pulled out a black tank top and went into Midoriya's room. The ash-blonde stared at Izuku's bed and then flopped the black tank top onto it and left the room. He then joined Midoriya back in the living room. "When you're done, put on the shit on your bed." He demanded, once more. 
"U-Uh...Okay Kacchan..." Izuku replied wearily. Knowing Bakugou, he'd probably be wearing something that made him look stupid or silly...Or even a bit like a girl. "I think I've finished up with my project part on you, Kacchan. Are you done with yours on me?" 
"Yeah yeah, I'll do it in the morning. Like I said, I only have a sentence or so to write." Bakugou waved away the nagging he knew he'd be receiving.
"You write down your measly sentence and I'll change, how about that?" Midoriya suggested playfully.
"Fine." Katsuki scoffed and watched Midoriya walk slowly to his room. 
Midoriya reached the door and then his bed, he glanced at the ruffled sheets and saw a black tank top. 'This is... Kacchan's.' He muttered inwardly and removed his shirt and replaced it with the one Bakugou was telling him to wear. "K-Kacchan! Why do you want me to wear this?!" 
"Just come out of there, dumbass." Bakugou yelled back. He wanted to enjoy the sight of Midoriya in his shirt, it gave Bakugou a lovely feeling inside. He wrote as quickly as possible about Deku so he could turn his attention to the real thing. 
Izuku walked out of his room in the black tank top that was one of Bakugou's most worn shirts. It showed off the scars he had on his arms and the muscles he had been building up. He moved over next to Bakugou and blushed, "W-Why, Kacchan?" 
"C'mon shit-nerd, you're messing up the view with your crinkled up face. Does my shirt really bother you that much?" He complained. 
"N-No! It's just that...I don't know why you're doing this..." Midoriya mumbled softly. 
Bakugou knew he'd have to keep his hands off of Midoriya at least until night time, so he tried to distract himself from it as much as possible. "We already ate earlier today, but are you hungry again?" 
"Mm, not really... Maybe we could have a snack later on in the evening. I'm just eager to relax...My eyes are still a little irritated after crying." Izuku mumbled the very last part out.
"Fine. Why don't we watch a movie or some shit?" Bakugou suggested. 
Midoriya nodded compliantly, "That sounds good." 
Bakugou sat up from the table and looked down at Midoriya, who even he would admit, did look a little cute. The ash-blonde lifted Midoriya up and carried him over to the purple couch in his living room and flipped on the television. "Just sit."
Midoriya smiled but couldn't help that he felt a little cold. He wasn't one for wearing tank tops around the house. He almost always had an undershirt with sleeves or a hoodie on, and at the very least, he'd have on just a regular T-shirt. Midoriya's hands grabbed his arms and began to rub them up and down to create some sort of friction. 
Bakugou noticed what he was doing and bit back a cruel smile. "Are you cold, Deku?" He inquired, thumbing the remote to the TV. 
"A little." Midoriya replied weakly. 
Bakugou flipped to the news and then gestured for Midoriya to move closer to him. Midoriya only nodded his head when he was asked to move. The green-haired male was close to him, but not close enough. Katsuki grabbed Izuku's hips and sat him down on his lap. "There." 
Midoriya blushed violently. "D-Do I have to be on your lap?" 
"Do you want to be warm, Deku?" Bakugou retorted playfully. 
"Y-Yes..." He mumbled, his blush still glowing brightly. 
Bakugou's hands made their way up Deku's back and to his shoulders, down his arms and back up again. He was able to use his quirk to make his hand hot as he kneaded the smaller boy. 
Midort groaned an approval, "Ahh...Good..." 
Bakugou smirked and increased the heat just a little, "Is that too much, Deku?~" 
Midoriya hissed quietly, "N-Not at all." 
Bakugou stifiled laughter and went back to the decreased heat. He felt the smaller boy shift his weight a few times, and groan a few more times. 
Midoriya didn't realize that he was being a bit of a tease to Bakugou. Sitting on his lap just groaning and all. "Ah~! There..." at this point for Izuku, it was passed just warming him up. This was a Kacchan massage treatment! 
Bakugou's face heated up, "You seem to be enjoying me more than your precious TV, aren't you, Deku?" He teased.
"Ahh, yes...You feel good though. I can't help it." He laughed shyly and put his hands up to his face to conceal his ever growing blush. 
"You don't have to hide it, Deku. Go ahead and blush over me." Bakugou's teasings became more apparent as he tried to hold himself off of the smaller male. 
Midoriya sqeaked, "Shh!" 
Bakugou smiled evilly and removed his hands from the back of Midoriya. He pulled him down instead. Midoriya laid on Bakugou with his back, and Bakugou now had full access to the front of the green-haired boy. "Do you need attention to the front of you, Deku~?" His voice was dripping with teases and insults. 
"N-No, Kacchan." Midoriya tried. 'Who knew a massage from him would feel so good...Or is it because I can feel his eagerness that excites me?' he wondered to himself. 
"No? Are you sure, Deku? It seems like you want some type of attention over here..." Bakugou used a warm voice, one capable of comforting others. 
"Y-Yes I'm sure, Kacchan. Let's watch TV and r-relax..." Midoriya now pleaded.
"Is that really what you want?" Bakugou inquired playfully.
'No.' He thought. "Yes." Midoriya said.
"Alright." Katsuki let out a chuckle, he couldn't even the imagine the amount of disappointment Midoriya was feeling right then when he told him that he just wanted to watch TV. 
Midoriya pushed Bakugou down on the couch and then laid down on him, stomach-first. "Y-You can still...Touch me..." His whimpers were inaudible to the ash-blonde hero. 
"What was that, Deku?" He questioned. 
"I said...You can still...T-Touch me." Midoriya stuttered out. 
Bakugou blushed, 'He does want me to touch him...Maybe even more than Icyhot!' He did a mental fist-pump. "Of course you'd want that." Katsuki teased. He was thankful that Midoriya had gotten off of his lap, but now he had a different problem. Midoriya was face down on top of Katsuki. His waist met with Midoriya's. 'Shit.' Bakugou began to stroke Midoriya's back once again, with a little heat to top it all off. 
"T-Thank you, Kacchan. It feels really good," Midoriya groaned. He felt that their waists were alligned and blushed. "Ah," he breathed heavily. "I-I'm so sorry, Kacchan...I didn't mean for my waist to be t-there..." 
Bakugou blushed. 'He noticed.' he tried to calm his blush before he spoke. "I-It's fine, Deku. Just get up here." Katsuki pulled Deku's waist up his body, now Deku sat comfortably on Bakugou's stomach. The ash-blonde pulled Midoriya down to him and suckled on his exposed neck with few bites in between.
"Haah... Kacchan! Are you making more marks on me?!" Midoriya yelled and tried to pull away from him, which he ended up doing successfully. 
Bakugou laughed at his sudden need to get away, "Oh? You don't like it anymore?" 
"I-I don't want to be the only one that's bitten...I want to save things like that for someone who won't treat me like a...Like a one night stand!" Izuku yelled and then stood to his feet, his face was a reddish color, but he showed more signs of anger than pleasure.
Bakugou sighed and turned his attention to the television once more. Hero this, hero that. All Might this, All Might that. 'What Todoroki asked me...Why does it keep popping up in my head?' He questioned himself and then thought of Todoroki's question. '"Are you two dating?" Why did that question bother me so much? We aren't dating...I don't know if Deke even likes me. I mean, he blushes when he's around me, and he enjoys some of the things I do for him...He'll fall asleep on me and he'll try to wave Todoroki off of him for me. All for me. I think he's just worried that I'm only doing this because I'm bored or 'around that age' where this type of shit is interesting to me.' These thoughts filled his head, he barely noticed that Midoriya came back out of his room without a shirt off but covering his chest with his hands, even though they were both of the same gender. 
"I'm taking a shower." Midoriya said monotonously and then flung Bakugou's shirt back at him. 
Bakugou stared at the black shirt and frowned. "Whatever." He looked at Midoriya before he disappeared into his bathroom. 'Is he washing me off of him? Is that his goal here? Or is he just trying to feel warm and clean before getting to bed?' Unanswered questions once again filled his head. He didn't like the thought of Midoriya washing him off of his body. There were parts of Bakugou that wished those bite marks would symbolize something more than just 'ownership' and the 'temporary claiming of the bite recipient'. He wanted what they had to be special, he just had to make sure that Midoriya did too. 
Midoriya started the shower and stripped off his clothes. The water was hot and streaming quickly down his body. Izuku stood in the warmth for a moment, "Ah..." He enjoyed the warmth the water provided, but he felt happy just being massaged by Bakugou, if not happier. 'Kacchan has been so nice to me, yet I've blown hom off twice now. I mean, he bit me and I didn't want him to. I don't want him to own me like that if he doesn't mean it. He'd never mean anything that he did towards me like that, would he? He always seems so serious when he says that he hates me...And now this?' 
Bakugou stared blankly at the television screen. What it showed didn't phase him, nor did he notice that there were re-runs of the old All Migjt shows he watched as a child. 'I'm doing my hardest to hold back on the jeers and insults. The more I've grown as a person, the more I've come to realize my mistakes. I shouldn't have ever bullied him like I did. What I want to do to him now, is more than I thought I was capable of doing to a quirkless person. But now, he has a quirk. No, that's not it. I don't want to do things to him because he got a quirk now. I just want to be with him because he was always, always there even when I beat him down into practically nothing. I want to see him as an equal, he deserves it just as much as Kirishima does if not more than him. Izuku makes me...Happy...?' 
Midoriya let a tear fall down his cheek, "What am I going to do?" He mumbled. The green-haired boy turned off the shower and grabbed a towel. He dried himself until there wasn't a speck of water anywhere on him. 'Tired.' he complained inwardly. Izuku moved out of the bathroom and quickly made his way to his bedroom, where he slipped on a long sleeve shirt and comfortable pants. Once he was decent, he made his way to Kacchan. "H-Hi Kacchan... I'm going to bed..." 
"Great. I hope you sleep well." Bakugou replied monotonously. He picked up the black remote and clicked the power button. 'I guess there is no point in staying awake is there?' he let out a small groan before making himself comfortable on Midoriya's couch. 
Izuku got out his phone and texted Todoroki after ten minutes of not being able to sleep. 
Midoriya: 'Hi Todoroki-kun..'
Todoroki: 'Hello Midoriya. It's awfully late for you to be awake. What can I do for you?'
Midoriya: 'I'm having trouble falling asleep...' 
Todoroki: 'I see... What's bothering you?' 
Midoriya: 'Just...Everything. Kacchan, my mom, All Might hasn't been around...He's been super busy with god only knows.' 
Todoroki: 'What did Bakugou do?' 
Midoriya: 'Well, he just...Often seems to use me as an object. Especially after my mother and his parents went out of town. He gave me another small bite...I just don't want him to do this if it won't mean a damn thing in the end! He won't end up realizing that I've been around even after he told me that I was useless. Even after he gave me my nickname, Deku, I stayed with him and he's too selfish to give a damn! I'm only an object to him. All his affection and biting is to fulfill his own desires, right?' 
Todoroki: 'Midoriya...'
Midoriya: 'Sorry. Goodnight.' 
Todoroki: 'Wait!'
Midoriya didn't respond after that. He placed his phone to the side of him and tried to get some rest. He faded in and out of consciousness, he checked the time everytime he woke up. He was only asleep for a Max of 20 minutes, nothing more than that could be accomplished. 
Bakugou was about the same, he tried to sleep, but to no avail. His unfinished business with Deku created tension that disturbed him from relaxing. Normally he wasn't the type to care, but he recognized his problem and wanted to fix it. 
Midoriya sat up. He remembered how he would get up and sleep with his mother when he was younger and had more problems with getting to sleep. He crawled out of bed, dragging one of his blankets with him. Izuku moved out to the living room where he saw Bakugou, who seemed to be asleep. The green-haired klutz moved over to Bakugou carefully, trying to avoid stepping on any creaks in the floor that would wake Kacchan up. Izuku laid himself carefully and gently on top of the ash-blonde aspiring hero. 'Would this wake him up? Probably...Why am I doing this?!' 
Bakugou didn't move, he only tried not to laugh at Midoriya's attempts not to wake him, as well as his uncertainty with laying on top of the ash-blonde. 
Midoriya smiled warmly and cozied into Kacchan's chest, he ran a hand down it slowly, feeling his abs. He went slowly, as to try not to wake the ash-blonde from his slumber. Izuku wasn't exactly being secretive about it either, he let his hands wander freely around Bakugou's body. Figuring that Kacchan was actually asleep, Midoriya began to mumbled something quietly. "I wish I could feel this forever," he began. "You're strong, stronger than I...I understand that you probably don't feel the same way about me that I do to you. I wouldn't force any kind of relationship on you...I just wish I knew why you decided to do these things to me even after bullying me for years..." His voice was quiet, barely audile to Kacchan. 
Bakugou shivered, the feel of Deku carressing him, the gentle whispering that he wasn't able to hear all of. All of it was what he had wanted. "...You are so kind and caring all of the time. I'm a rather... Violent person as you know. I have trouble speaking to others respectfully, though I'd never admit it to anyone else. I've even grown a soft spot for someone I though I hated. Upon thinking about it, I realized that I never hated you at all, but I hated myself- Only in a few ways though. You're vulnerable, and that vulnerability reminds me of the side of me that I shield from others. We're like sweet and savory, some like one over the other, and some like the two together," His voice trailed off into nothing as he felt Midoriya begin to move off of him. "Please stay and listen," Bakugou pleaded and grabbed Midoriya's hand and held it down gently. "You're soft and round on the edges, while I'm sharp on the sides and could use a bit of softening. What I'm saying is, sometimes, we might not always go together on everything, but in the end, we're still better together..." 
Midoriya sat in silence for a minute, he blushed slightly as tears rolled down his face. "Kacchan I-" 
Bakugou cut him off. "Just please, let's sleep." He said sheepishly. Katsuki had just tried his hardest at speaking from the heart and it was probably the worst he could've possibly done. 'After that, I couldn't possibly face him. Not directly after at least...' He thought worrisomely. Bakugou noticed how far down Midoriya was and how uncomfortable it must've been. He pulled him upwards a little bit and then laid him back down gently. 
Midoriya's head now laid on his pectoral muscle, he turned his head to the side and listened to Kacchan's heart beat. It was fast, faster than it should've been, but considering the circumstances...He was just fine. 'What if he forgets by the morning...'

Morning came slowly, which Kacchan was very happy about. He barely got a wink of sleep, and when he was finally resting, all he had were nightmares. Bakugou woke up to Midoriya already dressed and ready for the day. It was Friday. 
Midoriya smiled at Bakugou, "Good Morning, Kacchan! I made you this...You don't have to eat it if you don't like it." He smiled weakly, knowing he probably messed up Bakugou's breakfast. He hesitantly gestured the plate out to the ash-blonde.
"What's this about, Deku?" Bakugou questioned. He took the plate from Deku and looked at it groggy-eyed. It looked fine from what he could tell. 
"It's just...Because..." Midoriya looked away. "I need to...Get something?" He couldn't think of a proper excuse to give after that so he just quickly bolted to his room. 
Bakugou scoffed and picked up his fork. He toyed with the food before picking up little bites and eating them slowly. 'This was good... Although he definitely did need practice. It was a good start.' He thought. "I need to get dressed." He mumbled when he was finally finished with his breakfast. Katsuki tossed the plate into the sink and thought, 'I'll just do that later...' The ash-blonde grabbed his school outfit and went into the bathroom. He changed quickly and rushed out. Bakugou was wondering where Midoriya had gone off to do in his room, so he snuck a peek inside through the small crack he left in the door. 
Midoriya was admiring the bite Bakugou had given him, he knew they meant something now. They weren't the spur of the moment, they were the best ways Kacchan was able to show his affection...Sort of. He touched the, what was now purple skin and smiled when he did. 
"You must like those," Katsuki teased quietly. He moved into his room with a slight smile. 
"They are...Well...Now that I know you meant something by them...I like them a lot..." Midoriya confessed. 
Katsuki moved further into his room, the compliment Midoriya gave his bites gave Katsuki a surge of confidence. He pushed the smaller male against the wall and closed in on his neck again. "I only focused on the spot I wanted to on your neck...But for you, I'm sure there's a sweet spot somewhere." He teased, kissing all areas of his neck. 
Midoriya made a small groan when Bakugou reached that spot he had talked about, "Ah! T-There..." 
Bakugou gave a sadistic, but oddly caring smile. Like, if you were someone he considered to be on the "outside" you would only see his more evil side. But getting this close to him... That's when he would open up. Katsuki kissed the same place on Midoriya's neck a few times, sucking on it occasionally. 
Midoriya blushed, "A-Ah...It feels weird, Kacchan..." 
Bakugou's face became equally red, he opened his mouth and begin to speak directly into the green-haired male's neck. "You just like being touched here on your neck specifically. It's nothing to be afraid of." He reassured the smaller boy before going back in, this time he added harsh bites that were followed by kisses to soothe the pain. 
Midoriya hissed, 'This much pleasure just from being bitten? Did I like how submissive I was being? Was that it? Was it the fact that it was Kacchan changing anything?' He wondered. "Hey Kacchan...Will you make another one...?" He whispered. 
Bakugou barely heard his request, so he asked about what he said. "Oh, what was that, Deku?" 
"Please make...More...On me..." Midoriya requested shyly. He still feared Bakugou's rejection, even though it was the ash-blonde who had basically confessed to him the night before. "But don't stay there, Kacchan...Please kiss me..." 
Bakugou marvelled at the nerd's ability to be sort of bold with what he wanted. He quickly complied with making more bites. It was less of him enjoying it, and more of a 'claiming' mechanism for him. Though it didn't technically mean anything, he hoped it would warn and show everyone who Izuku belonged to. Katsuki went up from Izuku's neck to his ear, which he nibbled on for a second before moving to his lips. The blonde bit his bottom lip and pulled down slowly, he gave his bottom lip kisses on it's own. Bakugou never took in the smaller male's lips a whole. 
Until, that is, that Midoriya leaned his head back. "Kish." He tried to demand, but it wasn't very good considering how Bakugou was holding onto his lip with his teeth. 
Katsuki smiled and let go of Midoriya's lips. His hand cupped Izuku's chin as Bakugou went for an actual kiss. No biting. 
Midoriya's eyes fluttered open when their lips crashed together. 'Did Kacchan really just...?' 
Bakugou pulled away after a moment. "Damn Midoriya, your blushing face is so cute. Now come, we'll be late if you don't pull yourself together.

On their way to school, Midoriya only tried to relive the time they had together in his room. 'He even kissed me...' 
"So, Deku. After what I said last night...Your opinion on what I did to you seemed to change a little. Why?" 
"I realized that you were comfortable sharing your vulnerability with me, and that made me happy. You were sorry for how you used to treat me, and you didn't think of me as a sex object or anything. I'm glad you didn't. I would've been heartbroken." Midoriya said relatively calm, a light pink blush still spread across his face.
"So will you, Deku?" 
"Will I what?"
"Be mine." 
"I- Of course, Kacchan! I only let you make marks on me like that because I was sure I was okay with it and you..." 
"Good." 
"K-Kacchan, I love you!" 
"I love you too, Izuku."

"And that's what Kacchan is sort of struggling with when it comes to the aspects of being a hero. However, I am a very firm believer that he, somewhere in his mind and heart, really cares about a lot of things. Like you, Kirishima! You're Kacchan's good friend. He thinks of you as an equal, not a rival. Kacchan might lack a lot of humility, and that's okay as long as he recognizes the great things that people around him do. Like how I've always stuck to Kacchan since we were smaller kids. Even though he might've hurt me and a few others, he still realizes that I am a loyal person." Midoriya continued his speech on Bakugou's lack of humility and the good things he had done for another five minutes. 
When Izuku finished, the whole class clapped. "Well done!" They cheered. "You make Bakugou look like a saint!" Some said. 
After class Midoriya and Bakugou spoke with Aizawa about Bakugou's hearing issue. Aizawa promised that he would be initiating some sort of ear pieces to keep everyone's young ears in tact. 
--
Everything was working out. Midoriya's mother got the job she wanted and was able to come back. Bakugou's parents came home, despite his wanting to stay with Izuku and lay with him at night, he had to go back home at the end of the day. Kacchan kept biting Midoriya, rarely giving his poor neck a break from the 'claiming' and there was even once when Bakugou let Deku give him a hickey too. Bakugou only laughed at how much it tickled and teased the smaller male for not showing much dominance. Katsuki's hearing was staying at an okay level, and Aizawa's high-tech earplugs (that Midoriya designed) worked well for everyone in the class. Plus, Kirishima and Denki's pictures of Bakugou and Midoriya were only joked of between them. No one else saw.
Life was finally starting to go right for them. Bakugou, Midoriya and everyone else.
