Midoriya didn’t belong here. He didn’t belong at a school for villains in the making. He was a hero, dammit, he really was. But he was a hero chosen by All-Might, a hero chosen to infiltrate the villains, and gather information. It was painfully obvious he was an imposter, yet nobody seemed to notice. Except for one. Bakugou Katsuki. “Kaachan.” Whatever you want to call him. He knew something was up with Izuku. He knew Izuku wasn’t want he seemed. And that was a major problem for Midoriya. He had to stay undercover. He had to stop the villains. And he couldn’t do that with Bakugou on his trail. It wasn’t like he could do anything about it anyway. If he killed Bakugou, he’d have a whole class of villains up his ass. So Midoriya pushed the issue of Bakugou out of his mind. He had done everything he could to make Bakugou trust him. Calling him Kaachan. Complimenting him. But that only seemed to make Bakugou angrier. “Ahem.” A person cleared their throat, snapping Midoriya out of his thoughts. He blinked, realizing that the teacher- a notorious killer named Eraserhead, who hung his victim’s bodies by his infamous white scarf- was staring at him. The whole class was giggling and snickering at Midoriya. “It seems that Midoriya is daydreaming.” Eraserhead drawled in a monotone voice. “How unbecoming of a villain. You need to stay alert.” “I’m s-sorry, Eraserhead!” Midoriya bowed. “Don’t apologize. Villains don’t do that.” Eraserhead snorted. Eraserhead continued his boring lecture on terror tactics, and Midoriya found himself drifting off in thought again. He knew quite a lot about the up and coming villains in the class, dubbed Class 1-A. All-Might would be proud of him. Midoriya quickly went through his mental notes on the villains. Bakugou Katsuki.

Has a messed-up father who drove him to become a villain. The bell rang and Midoriya got up from his desk, grabbing his bag. The class lived in dorm rooms, in order to keep their villainous identities a secret. Too bad Midoriya was going to unmask them anyway, when the time was right. On the way to his dorm, Midoriya is intercepted by Uraraka. He considers her a friend of sorts, so he’s happy to see her. “Hey, Deku!” She cheered in a happy voice. He waves back at her with a small smile. “Wanna come to the common rooms? Me, Tsuyu, and Iida are gonna study.” She asked. “Oh, yeah, sure!” Midoriya doesn’t mind hanging out with the villains he considers his friends. He might gain valuable, personal information from them. And plus, they don’t seem so bad. Midoriya knew that a whole lot of good is buried under their evil. Midoriya followed Ochako down to the commons, seeing Iida and Tsuyu already sitting down with notes sprawled out on the floor. “I got Mido-Mido!” Ochako smiled, pumping a fist in the air. Tsuyu tapped her chin. “Mido-Mido?” She asked. Ochako laughed. “Ha, yeah! It’s his nickname! I think that’s better than Deku, yeah?” She said. “That is true. Deku is normally not a good thing to call someone.” Iida noted. “Well, I did get that nickname from Kaachan from the first day of school. It’s not going to be nice if it’s from Kaachan.” Izuku giggled. Iida pushed his glasses up on his nose. “Enough about Bakugou-kun. Let’s study! We can never serve justice to the world without proper tactics.” He proclaimed. Midoriya snorted, how could Iida think he was doing justice by killing people, primarily heroes? Midoriya unzipped his backpack, pulling out his notes on class, but accidently pulled out his notes- all on Todoroki. Before he realized his mistake, Midoriya plopped the notes. Uraraka gasped as she saw the high-quality sketches and notes on Todoroki laid before them. “O-ho-ho? What are these?” Ochako cackled. “Do you have a crush on Todoroki, Midoriya?” Tsuyu croaked. Iida glared at Midoriya. “I’m disappointed, Midoriya-kun. As a villain, you should know feelings are weakness.” Ochako punched Iida in the shoulder. “Lighten up, Iida! Mido-Mido and Todo would make a killer power couple! Literally!” She smirked. Midoriya blushed and started to squeal. “I don’t like h-him! I’m just, uh, scoping out the competition.” Midoriya nervously said. He couldn’t exactly tell the truth to them- that he was a spy- so he lied. Ochako rolled her eyes. “Uh-huh. Well, just think about it, Mido-Mido. Todo is quite powerful, and you are too. You could make heroes fall to their knees... coat the world in blood... watch as bodies fall from the sky... hah, hah, hah...” Ochako was practically drooling at this point at the thought of the world slipping into chaos and anarchy. Iida shook his head. “The whole point of villainy is to wipe out the order less and unjust heroes in the world. Death is simply a tool to achieve utopia.” Tsuyu cleared her throat. “I believe villains should be the type of people to cause freedom for the people. Heroes are so set on restraining people, kero. It’s awful. If murder is the only way to achieve freedom, then so be it.” Tsuyu looked at Izuku. “What about you, Midoriya? Why are you becoming a villain?” “Oh! Um, you see-” Suddenly someone cleared their throat, Midroiya’s saving grace. “Midoriya. Talk to me outside.” It was Todoroki. Midoriya’s heart sped up. What could Todoroki need to ask him? “O-Okay!” Izuku nodded, sweating. Ochako nudged him with a wink. --- Todoroki had dragged Midoriya behind the school. “S-So, what do you need to-” Midoriya started, but was cut off by a firm hand pushing him up against the school wall. His back hit the wall with a thud. “I know your secret, Izuku.” Todoroki practically whispered in his ear, hot (and cold) breath tickling Midoriya’s neck. Midoriya gasped, fear (and something else that he couldn’t quite name) flooded his system. “S-Secret?” He gasped, trying to play dumb. Oh, fuck. Maybe- maybe he could get away with this- Todoroki pulled away slightly and stared into Midoriya’s eyes. “You like me, don’t you?” Izuku blushed. “E-Eh? I- I don’t-” Todoroki sighed. “No need to be so shy. But yes. I accept your confession. Despite being villains, a relationship between two powerful individuals will still be very beneficial.” Todoroki pulled away. “Farewell, Midoriya. I expect to see you more often, since we are dating now.” Todoroki walked away, leaving Midoriya with his heart racing and his eyes wide. Okay. Okay, what the fuck just happened?
