summary: you heard the rumors that heroes loved to pick up “playthings” like you, but you did not expect to the Number One Hero pulling up for you.
a/n: here it is! i had a lot of different media that influenced this! hope you all enjoy!
The streetlamps hung low, dim lights illuminating the trash-filled streets. Mice scurried around on the concrete floor with the pungent smell of sulfur wafting in the area. Clouds covered the star-filled sky, leaving only the moon to dwell and look down upon the earth.
Many people didn’t like talking about the slums of Mustafa. The crime was incredibly high, yet no heroes dared to enter and combat it. It was common to see people strung high, empty needles littering the grounds. It was also common to see bodies of victims, some of them burnt to a crisp thanks to the League of Villains and yakuza organizations.
The League and Yakuza were extremely influential here—thriving on the vulnerability of the community around you. Many people had dealings with them as it was one of the only places that offered fast and good money. Both the League and the yakuza high ranks were cowards, seeing the citizens of the areas as mere pawns for whatever they were planning. Sadly, many of those people would be pushed out to fight bigger heroes only to disappear in cells.
Your back was pressed against the night lamp, exhaling the toxic fumes of the cigarette in your hand. The ambers from the buds glowed before softening as you pushed the cigarette away from your lips, blowing the smoke out. The nicotine renewed your body with little energy, something you needed if you were going to work tonight.
Bakugou walked to his room in a daze. He would stop every now and again to go back down but would hold himself back. He got to his door and paused. He glanced to the side at Kirishima’s door. Bakugou had to know.
“Kirishima?” He walked in. The red head stopped beating against his punching bag and looked at the blonde. Bakugou never called him by his name unless something was up.
“What’s up bro?” He said, giving him all his attention. Bakugou sat down on the bed.
“Have we been spending a lot of time together lately?” Bakugou asked. Kiri thought about it for a moment.
“Yeah we have. In and out of school and training. Why are you asking?” He looked at the blonde in wonder.
“Because… Y/N just went off on me for being MIA. Talking about `I shouldn’t drop plans with you to spend time with them.’ I mean…” Bakugou was talking so softly. “I didn’t think I was dropping things with them but…”
“Well, if I remember right. You haven’t really spent any time with them as of late. Only during lunch and class but not really outside of school.” Kiri rubbed the back of his neck. “I was starting to wonder if something had happened between you two.”
“Not that I’m aware of but…I think I messed up majorlyShit.” He ran a hand down his face. “I don’t know what to do.”
“Maybe start with actually going to them and talking.” Kiri offered. Kat nodded.
“Yeah, yeah. I’ll do that. Bye Kiri.” He walked out and went to Y/N’s room. He hesitated before knocking on the door. He heard rustling inside before they came to the door.
“Hey Kat.” They said as they opened the door. He was surprised that they knew it was him before seeing him. “I can tell by the way you knock that it was you.”
Y/N’s POV
I watched as he processed that information. I leant against the door jam as he tried to find something to say. He reached up and rubbed the back of his neck with a lost, sad look on his face. He was really all over the place. What I said must have really affected him. To be honest, I felt really bad for going about this the way I did.
“Why don’t you come in?” I stepped back and he walked in sheepishly. He stood in the middle of the room even when I sat down on the floor. I sighed and grabbed his hand. I pulled him to the floor with me before cuddling up to his side, under his arm.
“I… What are you doing?” He asked.
“I want to cuddle. I also want to apologize for jumping you like that.” I said while nosing his neck.
“Ha. I don’t think you have anything to be sorry for.” He said. I looked up as he covered his eyes with his hand. “I needed a life check. I didn’t realize what I was doing or what I wasn’t doing. I even asked Kirishima and he thought we were having problems and that’s why I was spending so much time with him. So, I need to be the are apologizing.”
“You aren’t used to relationships Kat. Romantic and friendship. It’s a bit getting used too.” I said. He smiled and kissed me.
“You’re so understanding. You don’t have to try and make an excuse for me. I knew what I was getting into when I confessed to you. I should have been better.”
“Kat.”
“For once… I am the dumbass.” He whispered. I cupped his face. “I’ll be better, I promise. Don’t be afraid to yell at me if I get out of line again.”
“I’ll have to take you up on that. A reason to yell at Bakugou Katsuki and get away with it. Yes!” I cheered. He scoffed and rolled his eyes.
“Alright, alright.” He gruffed. He got up and scooped me up from the ground. I scrambled to hold onto him. He unceremoniously dropped me before laying ontop of me. He laid between my legs and set his head on my chest. He held me tight.
“What are you doing, blasty?” I ran my fingers through his hair.
“You wanted to cuddle, we’re going to cuddle. Got it?” He grumbled. I laughed but agreed. Especially after I saw how late it was.
Kirishima: Y/N’s POV
I was curled up in bed under my blankets as soon as I got back to my room. I sniffled and really wished Kiri was here to cuddle with me but not gonna happen at the moment. I sighed before deciding to just sleep it off for now.
3rd POV
As soon as L/N disappeared upstairs, Bakugou was yelling at Kiri and dragging him away from the others. He chided and yelled at the red head as he drug him off to the kitchen.
“What the hell, Shitty hair? Seriously?” He snapped and hit the man in the chest.
“What? What is going on?” Kiri rubbed the spot Bakugou hit him. He was really confused.
“Damn, fuck. You are so dense sometimes!” Bakugou groaned heavily and face palmed. “You can’t even see when your own partner needs you! Do you even realize how much you’ve been bailing on them recently? Huh?”
“I, I, um…” Kiri stumbled over his words. He thought back to the past few weeks. He remembers seeing them but not for long before running off somewhere with Kami or Mina or someone else. The dejected look on their face popped up in his memory. “Oh man…”
“They think you don’t care for them anymore. That you don’t want to be with them anymore.” Bakugou crossed his arms and glared. Kiri looked at him shocked.
“They said that!?” His voice pitched and cracked. He felt panic start to rise in his chest.
“Well, no. But I could read it plain as day on them… Unlike you it seems.” Kiri flinched and his gaze fell to the floor. His lip wobbled as tears threatened to fall. He clenched his fists.
“Fuck…” He bites his lip and his quirk rippled across his skin.
“What are you still doing here?” Bakugou growled. He grabbed Kiri by the front of his shirt. “Go you dumb head. And DON’T stop for those extras out there.”
“Right!” He went to pull away but couldn’t because of Bakugou’s grip. “Uh man?”
“Don’t screw up again.” Was all he said before shoving him back towards the common room. Kiri quickly ran for the stairs ignoring the others yelling for him. He nearly tripped multiple times before actually tripping at your door.
Y/N’s POV
I jumped in fright as a loud thud pulled me out of my dozing state. I shook my head to try and clear it. I turned to look at the door for a moment before I finally heard a groan from the other side.
“Crap!” I got up and went to the door. I opened it and saw Kiri on his back, lowly groaning. “Kiri! Are you alright?” I knelt next to him, forgetting about everything else.
“Yeah. Just winded.” He said softly. I helped him sit up. He looked at me with sad eyes. He took my hands in his and brought them up to his lips. “I am so sorry.”
“Huh?” I looked at him confused. “Why are you apologizing for falling?” I asked. His gaze shot up to meet mine and his eyes widened before he started chuckling. I cocked my head to the side. He got up and picked me up off the floor. I wrapped my arms and legs around him.
“You have such a big heart, love. I get hurt and you automatically put your hurt feelings on the back burner.” He sat us down on my bed. I wilted a little when I remembered what he was talking about. He nuzzled my cheek and hair. “I am so sorry. I was so stupid for not seeing what I was doing. If I hadn’t any time soon, I think Bakubro would have beat it into me.”
“I’m sure.” I giggled. He smiled before it dropped.
“I still want you. I couldn’t imagine being in life without you now. It was unmanly of me to let you think that I didn’t want to spend time with you.” He hugged me tight and buried his face in my neck. “I am sorry.”
“Kiri… Can we go get some fries?” I asked. He looked at me confused. “I want something salty to go with the sweetest man in the world.” I kissed his nose. He smiled big and bumped our noses.
“Of course. Anything for you, baby.”
Denki: 3rd POV
Everyone could see something had happened between L/N and Kaminari. L/N had been actively ignoring the Blonde and Kaminari had been very down in the dumps, pouting when he was ignored. Even Shinsou had noticed something because Kaminari had not popped up to bother him for a while.
“Hey Kaminari?” Shinsou walked up to him at lunch about a week after things went down.
“Hm?” Kami made a noise of distracted acknowledgement. He finally looked up. “Oh, hey Shinsou. What’s up?” He asked with no energy. He poked at his food.
“What’s up? You seem really…down?” Shinsou sat down. Kami sighed before setting his fork down. He looked up and stared across the hall. Shinson followed his gaze and saw L/N.
“I made Y/N mad at me.” He admitted solemnly.
“How?” Shinsou pondered out loud. “You two always seemed inseparable.”
“By spending so much time with you. As Y/N said, ‘Trying to crack you’ and all. I thought back and realized how many dates I’ve dropped or skipped out on just to come and try to win you over to be my friend.” Shinsou looked at him in shock. Kami smiled sadly at him. “And don’t feel bad at all. You’re not at any fault. It was all me. I feel so bad now that I realize what I was doing.”
“Have you talked to them?” Shinsou looked back to where L/N was and saw they were gone. He looked around and saw they were just behind them. Their eyes were wide as they stared at Kaminari.
“Haven’t had the chance. They don’t want anything to do with me right now.” Kami leant his hand on his hand. “I can understand it but you don’t know how bad I feel. I don’t even know how to apologize and they’ll know I’m serious. I’m too much of a jockster and stuff. They probably won’t take me seriously.” Kami sniffled as his voice got softer and broke at the end.
“Kaminari…” Shinsou locked eyes with L/N, who looked chest-fallen. Tears were gathering in their eyes.
“See you later, Shinsou.” Kaminari got up and threw his untouched plate away. He walked out of the cafeteria. L/N watched him go.
“He’s really sorry.” Shinsou stepped up to them.
“I know. I shouldn’t have flipped out on him like I did. He was trying to make friends with you.” They slumped. “There were a thousand other options that I should have gone with over ignoring him.”
“I didn’t know he was dropping things with you to come bother me. I’m sorry.”
“It’s alright. He was so excited to be friends with you. I can’t be upset with him for that.” They set a hand on Shinsou’s shoulder. I got to figure out how to make it up to him. Bye Shinsou.“
Y/N’s POV
I walked up the stairs with a box of Denks favorite take out and my blanket that Denki always stole from my bed. I knocked on the door and heard a quiet 'come in’. I stepped in and saw him at his desk. I smiled a little before closing the door behind me. He didn’t look up.
"Denki…” I whispered as I draped the blanket over his shoulders. He jumped and looked up at me.
“Y/N! What?” I handed him the food. He looked between it, the blanket, and me. “What is this?”
“Part of my apology?” I said sheepishly. He went to say something but I placed a finger over his lips. “It’s alright. I heard you at lunch with Shinsou and I understand. I, I should’ve let you explain but I was so pissed and…” I stopped to take a breath. “I’m sorry. I should have been more understanding about what you were trying to do.”
“And I should have been better at prioritizing my time.” He turned and pulled me into his lap. I snuggled into him. “Thank you for the food. I haven’t eaten all day.”
“I know. I saw you throw away your lunch. Bad boy.” He smiled sheepishly. tapped his nose before snuggling in. “Now eat up sparky.”
“No need to tell me twice.” He eagerly grabbed the bag. I laughed as he bounced back to the excitable boy I know and love.
Todoroki: 3rd POV
Midoriya was just finishing up dishes at home when he got a call from Todoroki. He quickly dried his hands and answered.
“Hey Todoroki. What’s up?” He propped the phone in between his shoulder and ear. He began to dry and put away the dishes.
“I think I made L/N upset.” He said.
“What do you mean?” Midoriya paused for a second.
“Well, I went to ask them if we could spend time together this weekend but they already had plans with their sister. That’s fine but I expressed my minimal disappointment and I think they muttered something like, 'like you’ve been there to know if I had plans.’ I was confused and they continued. They told me to go see if there was anything I could do with you since that’s what I’ve been doing for the past month. What are they talking about?”
“Oh…” Midoriya set down the plate. He had wondered if this was going to come up. “Well you have been spending a lot of time with me lately and not with L/N.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I had noticed but L/N never made a protest. I don’t want to be scrutinizing Todoroki but… You haven’t spent any time with your partner and that is not right or fair to them. If I’m thinking right, you haven’t even checked in with them to see if they wanted to spend time together. So, they have every right to be upset with you.”
“You’re right.” Todoroki sighed. He was kicking himself for only now realizing it. He flopped back down on his bed. “What do I do?”
“I think that’s for you to figure out on your own, Todoroki. I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help.” He said.
“You were plenty of help, Midoriya. Thank you.” They hung up and To doroki just laid there, trying to figure out what to do. Meanwhile, Y/N was having fun but was distracted a bit. They felt bad for snapping at Todoroki but was still upset with him. Their sister understood and kept trying to make them feel better. So by the time they got back to the dorms, they really wanted to see Todoroki.
Y/N’s POV
I ran up to my room as soon as I got back to the dorms. I basically chucked my stuff on my bed and changed into some comfy clothes. I brushed my hair and then ran for Todoroki’s room. I was nearly to the 5th floor when I ran into Sero.
“Oh hey, L/N!” He greeted me.
“Hey Sero! I was actually on my way to see…”
“Roki? I figured but he is not in his room. He’s out in the courtyard. Waiting for you.”
“Oh thank you!” I ran back down and to the courtyard. I saw him with his back to me. I walked up to him. “Todoroki?” He jumped and a small bit of flame jumped off him. He turned to me and smiled.
“Y/N! You’re here!” He looked behind him and I peaked. There was a bouquet of flowers, two bowls of soba, and an unmarked envelope.
“What are you up to?” I asked with a small smile. He tried to find something to say but kept stumbling. I chuckled before going to hug him. He froze in his spot before hugging me back.
“I’m sorry for the way I’ve been acting. I should have been more intuned with what I was doing.” He said into my hair.
“It’s alright. I know that this is all new to you. That’s not an excuse but a learning experience.” He nodded. He held the back of my head.
“It took you and Midoriya calling me out to see what I did.” He pulled back and grabbed the envelope. “It seems like I get called out on a lot of things by Midoriya.” He laughed at himself before handing me the envelope.
“What’s this?”
“A start to making up for lost time.” I opened the envelope and saw two tickets to my favorite band next month. “Roki?”
“I got them myself and I already got the date cleared with Aizawa-sensei. If you want to go.” He blushed looking down at his feet. I smiled and kissed the tip of his nose.
“Of course I want to. Now, let’s eat. I’m starved.”
Deku: Y/N’s POV
I lazily stroked the brush across the canvas. I really didn’t have any idea in my mind. Just randomly painting. I was too distracted by the tift between Midoriya and I. He had been avoiding me for the past 3 days. Though I was mad, I still missed him.
“Arg!” I tossed the brush to the side and moved away from my canvas. I looked around my room before deciding to go down to the common room. There were a few people down here.
“Hey L/N!” Kiri called and waved me over.
“Hey. Have you seen Midoriya?”
“Uh, yeah! He left saying there was somewhere he needed to go.” Kiri sighed. I slumped and Kiri gave me a confused look. “I’ve noticed you too haven’t been spending any time together as of late. Are you guys okay? Did you have a fight?”
“Yeah.” I sat on the arm of the couch. “A small one.” I looked out the windows and watched the birds. It was bright and sunny today, the total opposite of my mood.
“I’m sorry to…”
“Kiri bro! It’s your turn!” Kami interrupted.
“Geez, okay. Give me a minute.” He threw back. Sero whacked the blonde and chided him for interrupting. “I’m sorry to hear that L/N.”
“It’s alright. And go back to your game. I’m gonna go take a nap in the sun.”
“Okay. And whatever happened, I know you two will get past it. You are perfect for eachother.” I thanked him and hopped off. I found a good spot before shifting into leopard onel laying down, getting comfy.
3rd POV
A little while later, Midoriya comes back with a bright smile and eyes to match. He was about to head upstairs when a cat noise caught his attention. He turned and looked around before he saw L/N laying in the sun.
“Awe.” He cooed before walking over to them with a gentle smile. He approached the sleeping cat. He sat down next to them and gently put their head.
“Mew… Mrrprr.” They made noises in their sleep and moved in closer. Midoriya chuckled and continued to scratch around their ears.
“Hey love?” He gently probed to wake them up. They didn’t even stir. He tried again with better results. “There we go… Come on.” L/N yawned at the woke up, stretching out wide. They opened their eyes lazily and set their head in Midoriya’s lap.
Y/N’s POV
I saw Midoriya sitting there with a loving smile. I felt him scratching my head and purred. I moved closer in and gave him a cat hug, wrapping my paws over his shoulder.
“As much as I love the Cat hugs, could I have a real hug?” I shifted back still against him and wrapped my arms around him as soon as they were normal. I sat sideways in his lap and got comfy. I started to doze again when he stopped me.
“Huh? What?” I pulled back.
“I have something to show you.” He said. I moved a little and set my head on his shoulder. He pulled out a couple of papers. I took them and looked through them. My eyes widened at what I saw. One was the for pamphlet of the gallery and the next was a receipt and ticket for today. He held out his phone to show me a picture of my art. “I know it’s not the same as being there at the opening but I did go see it. It was amazing love.”
“Midoriya…”
“I can’t express how sorry I am for breaking my promise and missing it. I, I…” I shut him up by kissing him gently. He squeaked before kissing me back. After I pulled away, I buried my head in his neck.
“It’s alright. I know you didn’t mean too.” I pulled back and ran my hand through his hair. “It means a lot to me that you went to the gallery on your own. It shows that you’re really sorry.” He hummed while nodding.
“I’m going to be better. I promise.” He gave me puppy eyes. I kissed his nose.
“Alrighty. Now…Can I go back to my sun nap?” He laughed.
“Of course baby. Just let me, what, Oh… I guess I’m not moving?” He asked as I Got more comfortable in his lap.
“Nope.” I said as I cuddled into his chest. He laughed but got comfortable with me none-the-less.
Shinsou: His ended good so no second part… unless you guys want one. Let me know!
