Deku, or Izuku Midoriya, has been completely entranced by his ring since kindergarten. He has known who his soulmate was since he was 4; Bakugo Katsuki.Deku, since then, has decided he’d let Bakugo figure it out. You see, Bakugou has been kind of… bullying Izuku since middle school. He doesn’t think he means to be mean. Bakugo has always struggled with expressing things, and when that happens, he comes off as rude.
oOoBakugou was walking through the park that he and Deku played in when we were kids. He muttering while looking at his ring. “My whole ring just screams Deku. The more that I think about it, the more it makes sense that he’d be my soulmate. I hate it, but at the same time I wouldn’t oppose to it if it were to happen. He’s just a damn nerd that’s on my mind too much. I wonder who that shitty nerd is going to end up with.”Bakugou looked up to see Deku sitting against a tree. He had his head sitting on his knees, hugging them. He had headphones blasted the ‘emo’ bands of this century, and Bakugou could hear it. He looked like he just got bullied. Bakugou feels the need to comfort him, but his emotions all come across as angry.“Deku!” Bakugou yells out.Bakugo runs up to Deku where he was sitting under the tree. Deku looks up with tears in his eyes. When he sees Bakugou, he wipes his eyes and smiles.“Kacchan! How are you?”“Shut up, shitty nerd. I have a question.”“Go ahead.”“Do you know who your soulmate is?”“W-Why do you ask?”“You know what? Forget I said anything.”As Bakugou is starting to walk away, Deku answers.“I do. W-We used to be close, but he…”“What was that?”“I do, but he just doesn’t like me at all.”A silence fell between the boys. It was a comfortable, not intrusive, silence.“Hey, shitty nerd?” Bakugou asked while looking into the distance.“Yeah, Kacchan?” “Are you going to that stupid party, shitty hair is throwing?’“Y-Yeah, are you?”“Shitty hair is forcing me.”Deku pulled out his phone to check the time.“Fuck! I’m late for tra- dinner! I’ll see there tomorrow!”Bakugo watched him run off muttering to himself.“That cute ass nerd. Always in for curfew.”oOoMidoriya showed up to the party with Uraraka, who had finally gotten a car. As soon as he walked in, Kirishima and Denki pulled him into a game of truth or dare. The same thing had happened to Bakugou as he walked in a few minutes earlier.“Okay! It’s spin the bottle T&D! The person who spins it asks the person, who it lands on, a T or D! Are you ready to fucking rumble!” everyone hears Kirishima yell.“Hell no, Ei! I told you I wasn’t going to play this!” Bakugou yelled, quirk showing off a bit.“Eh? Remember what I said would happen? Your nudes go to a certain person in this circle.”“Whatever, Shitty Hair. Just fucking go.”Kirishima spins the bottle and it lands on Bakugo.“Bakubro! Truth or Dare?”“Lay a dare on me, Weird Hair.”“Tell Midoriya ten things you like about him.”Bakugou starts sweating. He just freezes. “I can’t fucking do that! My fucking crush will come out!” Bakugou thought to himself. He eventually just said stuff about Deku’s personality, so his secret wouldn’t be out.After a few more rounds, Uraraka got the bottle and spun it. It landed on Bakugo.“Hey Bakugou,” Uraraka said, cutting him out of his trance.“What, Pink Cheeks?”“T or D?”“Dare, I ain’t a wuss.”“I dare you to kiss… Deku-Kun!”Everyone in the room went silent.“Alright. Like I said, I ain’t a wuss,” he said turning to Midoriya, “Come here, shitty nerd.”Bakugou gently grabbed Midoriya’s chin, leading him into a soft a gentle kiss. When they finished, everyone gasped.“What the fuck are you guys staring at?” Bakugou asked looking at everyone, coming to a stop on Uraraka, who was currently fangirling.“Oh. My. GOD! I was right!” Uraraka screams.“...What are you right about?”“Look at your damn finger, Explodo Boy,” Kirishima said, barely above a whisper.“Wha-” Bakugou cuts himself off when he sees that his ring is completely off.He looks up at Midoriya, who is already bracing himself to get hit.“...Izuku…” he wraps his arms around the cowering boy, “I’m not going to hit you. I just have a question.”Deku looks up at him.“Wha-” Bakugou cut him off.“Did you know we were soulmates? Like before this?”‘I-I did.”“Why didn’t you tell me?” Bakugou says slightly tearing up, “I hurt my own goddamn soulmate. What kind of person am I?”Everyone was shocked at Bakugo’s change in attitude. The normally hot-headed boy they all knew, is now on the ground sobbing.“I just didn’t think you’d like that we were soulmates very much.”“The whole reason I distanced myself from you was the fact that I thought you would be disappointed that someone with a villain's quirk was your soulmate.”Silence fell upon the two boys. It was nice, but only lasted for a few moments. The silence was broken by Bakugou.“I have a question because I didn’t pay attention in class.”“Yeah?”Bakugou took a breath, “What does it mean if you ring has a baby on it?”Deku smiles because he knows where this is leading, “ It means your soulmate can have a baby, regardless of the gender.”“Why do-” Midoriya cut him off.“My mom told me I can have kids, turns out that I have a dick and a uterus.”Bakugou falls to the floor laughing, letting Deku go. Eventually, Deku joins in.“I don’t think I’ve ever heard you cuss so openly before.”“I don’t think you have.”“Come here, nerd,” Bakugou said while stretching his arms out.Deku jumps into his arms and they sit there for a little bit hugging.After a couple minutes of everyone being shocked, they had some up with a master plan.Kirishima texted Bakugo.RockBoi: How about you and your Prince Charming go back to your house?KingExplosionMurder: What’s it to you?RockBoi: Look at him, he’s fighting to stay awake. Go home and pamper the
man.Bakugou looked down at his soulmate. Deku was rubbing his eyes and laughing at Uraraka’s ungodly screeching.KingExplosionMurder: Alright. But we’re not fucking, so don’t get your hopes
up.RockBoi: Damn it.*FloatyChick joined the chat*FloatyChick: Make sure you run him a bath, his unholy time of the month is
starting soon. He said he was starting to have cramps. FloatyChick: Before you ask, men that can have children still have periods. I
think. Unless he didn’t mention something. Maybe it’s different for
guys that can have children? Anyway, get him home.Just after she sent that, Deku sent him a message. BroccoliBabe: Can we go home. I have something to tell you, that I don’t want them knowing yet.KingExplosionMurder: Yeah. Hold on.Bakugou grabbed Midoriya’s bag, not wanting to have Kirishima look in it, and walked towards the door. “Bye, Ei!”“Bye, Bakubro!”After a couple minutes of walking, Bakugou arrived at his home, Midoriya in his arms.“Babe. You wanted to tell me something?” Bakugou said, slightly shaking Deku.“Oh…. Right”“Go on. I won’t be mad at you”“So do you remember your ring saying that your soulmate was a girl for a little while?”“Yeah?”Midoriya didn’t respond. Then it hit Bakugo.“You’re transgender?”“Y-Yeah. D-Do you still want me?”“Of course I still want you. What makes you think I don’t?”“I don’t know. Maybe the fact that I’m actually a girl, and can never see my body the way I want.”“Sweetheart, I love you just the way you are,” Bakugo said running his fingers through Midoriya’s hair, “Do you think your mom would let you move in with me?”“She probably wouldn’t mind. I swear she wants me to find my soulmate. Well, I guess she doesn’t have to worry, I found him.”“Do you want to call her, and ask her to come over tomorrow? If she says you can move in with me, we still have two days of the weekend left still to move your stuff.”“I’ll call her tomorrow. Can I steal a shirt from you?”“Be my guest, Sweetheart.”After both boys changed, them fell asleep in each other’s embrace.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Bakugo woke up to an abnormal weight on top of him. He opened his eyes to green fluff. He remembered that Midoriya had moved in with him, and they’ve had a rough weekend with moving boxes.He was about to push him off, but then he looked at Deku’s resting face, he had been exhausted when they both went to sleep. He wanted to sit there and cuddle Midoriya all day, but the two boys had school.“Sweetheart. We have school. You gotta get up,” Bakugo said, slightly shaking Midoriya.“No. Give me five more minutes.”“Get up or I’ll steal all of your All Might merch.”Midoriya sat up as fast as he could when he heard that. “You wouldn’t dare.”“You doubt me, nerd?”“Well you wouldn’t because I’m awake.”Midoriya glanced around the room. He remembered that he didn’t have a uniform with him.“Kacchan? I don’t have a uniform, all of mine are in the wash.”“Oi! Don’t worry about that. Today’s the first day of the month, we don’t have to wear our uniform.”“The first day of the month?” Midoriya’s eye go wide, “Fuck! I need- I need my bag.”“Are you okay?”“I just need my bag, Kacchan. I need something out of it.”“Why would you need somethin-” Bakugo’s eye went wide with realization, “Oh! It’s that isn’t it?” “Yeah, I just need to make sure that I have some in my bag.”Midoriya spotted his bag on the other side of the room. He ran towards it. “Fuck! I have to have some in here! I can’t go to school without one!”During Midoriya’s search, he didn’t notice that Bakugo had slipped out of the room. When Bakugou came back into the room, he startled Midoriya.“Here babe, I figured my mom would have some.”“Oh thanks!” Midoriya turned around, “What can I wear?”“Just keep the shirt on. Here, put these leggings on too.”“Okay.”Within five minutes Midoriya was ready to go.“Wanna walk together, or do you want Floaty-Girl to pick you up?”“I think I’ll walk with you.” oOoOnce the two had reached the school gate, hand-in-hand, both of their friend groups were huddled in a big group staring at them. “Oi! What do you extras want?” Bakugo asked.“We switched Midoriya to the seat next to you. Don’t get too handsy in class,” Uraraka said, slightly curving her fingers when she said ‘handsy’.“Oi! We aren’t even there, Round Face!” “Just saying, Bakugo. We don’t want to see you guys fucking in the classroom,” Uraraka stated.“Not this week, Ura,” Midoriya had said quietly.“Oh. Oh! Okay!” She looked at her phone, “We’re going to be late to class, come on!”Bakugou grumbled about have to be in the room on time, but went anyway.oOo“Now I’m sure everyone’s heard the news, but don’t let you distract you in class,” Aizawa looked around the room, “We have training, but this is boys only because All Might wanted to talk to the boys… Or whatever he wants.”Aizawa shifted his gaze upon Deku.“Midoriya.”“Yes, sir?”“I have special notice from your mom that you can’t physically outdo yourself in class this week. Please refrain from joining in on the training, but go to listen what ‘sign of peace’ wants to say.”Iida proceeded to say that it was not fair that Midoriya didn’t have to train.“Tenya! I said it’s from his mother. She said he can still train, but he can’t get smacked with attack upon attack. Training with our quirks is something he can’t do this week.”“Aizawa-Sensei? What am I going to do while everyone trains?”“Ah! You’re spending time with teachers. You may pick your teacher and a friend to come along, but I have no doubt that you’ll pick Bakugou to go with you.”“Okay!”“Actually, Midoriya? Could you step out in the hall for a moment?”“Sure?”Once Midoriya and Aizawa were outside, Aizawa began to talk.“There was more on the note, but most of the staff is aware of this. I’ll let you know I’m ftm too, if it’ll make you feel better.”“Really?”“Yeah. I also have some information for you.”“What?”“Did you know the school will pay for your top surgery and ‘T’ if it’ll help you increase in training and physical abilities?”“No! Oh man! Do I have to talk to Principal Nezu?”“I’d assume so. If you need any help, don’t hesitate to find me.”“Thank you, Aizawa-Sensei!”“You’re welcome, now get back to class.”“Alright!”oOo“So what did the caterpillar want?” Bakugou asked.“Nothing much, just wanted to tell me about some school insurance covery ‘n stuff,” Midoriya said, shoveling Katsudon into his mouth.“Is this something the other nerds don’t know?”“...yeah...”Bakugo stood up, ready to take his leave. “Well I want to know, so come on.”“...but my Katsudon!”“Bring it with you!”“Okay!”oOo“So, what did he talk to you about?”“Well, he’s ftm too, and he told me about the school paying for surgeries if it will help my overall health and future.”“That’s awesome! Are you talking to your mom first before asking Nezu? Since you live on your own, or well with me, it’s your choice.”“I think I’m going to have to talk to my mom about it. She’s the type of person who wants me to fill them in if I have any type of medical thing done, serious or not.”“That’s fine,” Bakugo said as he stood up, “We should go back in, the last class is starting soon.”“Okay, Kacchan!”oOo“I understand I’ll be out of school for a few weeks! Only a few! Then Recovery Girl can heal me the rest of the way!” Midoriya said as he paced around the room, phone in hand.“Izuku, sweetheart… are you sure you want to do this? What if you change your mind?” Bakugo heard Inko, Midoriya’s mother say over the phone.“Mom… I understand. But you have to understand, I’m not going to regret this! I’m a boy, maybe not by birth, but I am. Now I have the chance, and you’re doubting what my heart is telling me?”“That’s not what I meant, sweetheart and you know that. I’m just saying, what if you want to have kids? How would you do that?”“I just stop the testosterone shots for like a month, then I can have kids. Do you want… You want me to have kids? What the heck mom, I’m only just about to graduate next year!”“We can talk about that later… I give my consent for the surgery, if that’s what you were calling for. But when you and Bakugo eventually conceive, remember, I’m the first person you call. You got that?”“Yes Mom! Thank you!” Midoriya said, blushing madly.“You’re welcome, sweetheart. Tell that Bakugo to make sure I get grandkids!”“Mom!”“Sorry, sweetheart. I just miss having a little kid running around.”“I bet,” Midoriya said, turning to look at Bakugo, “Well, I have to go. I love you.”“I love you too, sweetheart. Please be sure to have your surgery done by a professional, and not my someone who’ll ‘botch’ you.”“Alright, Mom. Bye!”“Bye, Izuku-Sweetie.”Izuku ended the call before his mother could spout more things about having kids.“So… What’d she say?” Bakugo asked, turning Midoriya to look at him.“She said I can…”“Is there an and?”“She wants us to have kids…”“That woman is out of her mind! We’re kids!” Bakugo said while throwing his arms into the air, “I understand though. After having a little kid around for so long, she’s used to it.”“Yeah.”“How about you talk to Nezu in the morning about it. He could probably tell you all the things you need to know about if you were to have kids.”“Yeah, we should do that,” Izuku sighed, “We shouldn’t worry ourselves too much about that…”“No, we shouldn’t, but I thought it’d be a good idea.” Bakugo pulled out his phone to check the time.“Lunch is about to end. Want to head down now?”“Sure.”oOoAfter their last class of the day, the boys ran back to their house. Izuku was nervous, and he doesn’t know why. He just feels all shaky and he can’t help it. After a few minutes of standing against a wall, he slid down it and hunched into a ball. “Deku? Sweetheart? Are you okay?” he heard Bakugo say, but it sounded really distant.He didn’t respond. He couldn’t respond. It felt like walls were closing in on him. He was scared and confused. Nothing like this has ever happened before. His breathing was speeding up.“Oh my god. You’re having a panic attack.”“So this is what it feels like? I can’t breathe, everything is in pain, and I can’t see him, everything is blurry,” Izuku thought.“Can I try something? I don’t want to make it worse. I just need to know if I can touch you.” Izuku nodded, or as much as he could.Bakugo unraveled Izuku’s arms from around his legs. He took Izuku’s hands into his own. He squeezed a beat into Izuku’s hands.“Everytime I squeeze a pattern into your hand, try and do it back. Try and focus on me and your breathing.”Bakugo squeezed nursery rhymes into Izuku’s palms until he began to calm down.“You alright there, Champ?” Bakugo asked, clearly concerned for his soulmate.“I-I’m sorry…”“Sweetheart, you have nothing to be sorry for. What are you saying sorry for?”“Making you worry. You went out of your way to make sure I was okay.”“Sweetheart… I need to know what triggered it, so I know what to look out for. Do you know what triggered it?”“No… I’ve never had one before, so I thought I was going to die.”“Let’s get you to bed,” Bakugo, picked Deku up, “I talked to Nezu, he said for us to come in during the week, but I’m calling the school tomorrow saying we can’t go.”“Can’t go? But-”“Sweetheart, you just had your first panic attack, and I don’t know what triggered it. I want you to stay and rest. Having one takes a lot out of you.”“How do you know so much about these things?”“M-My sister had panic attacks, almost regularly.”“Your sister? You never mentioned a sister.”“Yeah…”“Oh! I’m sorry if it’s touchy.”“No! It’s fine. I’ll tell you about it when you wake up. You need to sleep, Sweetheart.”“Okay, Kacchan.”With that, Bakugo picked him up. He carried the other up the stairs, stopping for a second on each stair. It was almost like he was rocking Izuku, not that he’d ever admit it.Once they got into the room, they both changed. They cuddled up to each other and fell asleep.
----- CHAPTER BREAK -----
Izuku woke up before Bakugou, slowly taking in his surroundings. He took a look at the clock before realizing he was late for school. “Kacchan! Get up! We’re late for school!”Bakugou started mumbling something to him and rolled over.“Seriously, Kacchan! Why aren’t you getting up? We need to go!” “Babe. Remember? I told you we’re staying home. After yesterday, I want you to relax at home”“But my perfect attendance-”“Babe. your health is more important than perfect attendance.”"But, Kacchan, I feel perfectly fine today-""I don't want to hear any 'buts', Izuku." "Fine. Then what are we doing today, Mr. Lord Explosion Murder?"Katsuki sighed as he sat up."It's just a rest day, but we could always go to that new hero shop that opened up?"Izuku's face lit up."The one in Hosu?" Izuku said, slightly bouncing."Yes. The one in Hosu."Izuku jumped up and started to walk to his dresser. Halfway there, he feels Bakugo's arms wrap around his waist."Now, where do you think you're going?""I wanna see the new merch! I heard they are selling upcoming hero figures and I need them.""Breakfast, Babe. Breakfast.""Okay, but after I finish, we're out the door.""That's fine, but we really have to eat, Babe.""Let's go eat then."The boys rushed down the stairs to eat their breakfast. Bakugo had made himself some eggs, whereas Izuku had made some cereal.After about 20 minutes, the boys were ready to head out.“Kacchan! We have to go or we’ll miss the train!”“You need to calm down, Nerd. We’ll get there.”“Just hurry up, please.”The boys put on their shoes and headed to the station. They walked in silence, hand-in-hand. By the time they arrived, the train was getting there as well.“Looks like you guys got here just in time,” says a voice from beside them.“Shiity Hair? Why are you out of school?”“I need to see if they have any Crimson Riot merch! Plus, my mom had called me in sick today, so I won’t be in trouble.”Bakugo scoffs.“But that still doesn’t explain why you guys are out today though.”Bakugo grabbed Kirishima and pulled him close, “This one had his first panic attack and he can’t figure out why, so we’re out to get his mind off of it. I’m here so if he has another one, I can calm him.”“Makes sense,” Kirishima looked around, “people are boarding, so let’s go!”Bakugo grabs Midoriya’s hand so he can lead him to the train. The train ride wasn’t long. As soon as the train pulled up to the next station, all three of the upcoming heroes jumped off the train.“Kacchan! Kirishima! The shop is over that way!” Izuku shouted with glee, pointing off towards a brightly colored shop.“Oi, Nerd! Calm down a bit, would you?”The couple held hands and followed Kirishima’s lead. They stopped in front of the shop Izuku pointed to earlier.
