#bkdk #bakufemdeku fantasy AU where Izuku is an apothecary that lives in a remote cottage and occasionally takes in injured travelers. One day, she finds an injured, ash blond male while out collecting herbs, and carries him back to her cottage to stich up.
He’s unconscious for a few days, which she didn’t mind. She’d check on him every few hours, check the wounds she’d stitched closed, pour some water and porridge down his throat, taking care to make sure he didn’t choke. She also bathed him, changed his clothes, and so on.
She tried to be respectful and not stare too much, but she found herself drawn to the many tattoos on his body. Many were of symbols she didn’t recognize, some ancient language? Perhaps she’d get an answer when he woke up.
On the day he finally woke up, she had been at her-

-desk, scribbling away notes about the latest potion she was working on. She could hear his footsteps as he walked across her wooden floors, his steps light and careful, almost silent despite his large size. As he stepped into her room, she turned to smile at him.
“You’re awake,” she smiled, being slightly caught off guard. Of course, he was wearing a tunic she’d put on him, and she’d seen his face plenty of times, but his eyes.
They were red, like the color of rubies in the sun. Beautiful.

“Was it you who brought me here?” he asked, a slight sneer on his lips.
“Mm,” she nodded. “I found you while I was out collecting herbs. You were unconscious, so I carried you back here to heal you. How do you feel?”
“Mm,” she nodded. “I found you while I was out collecting herbs. You were unconscious, so I carried you back here to heal you. How do you feel?”
“You’re a human,” he said in lieu of a response, his eyes narrowing.
“Er, yes, I am,” she nodded.
“Tch,” he scoffed, turning his head with a sneer. “To think, I was saved by a pathetic human.”
Well, she wasn’t sure how to respond to that. Maybe he was just hungry.

“Would you like some food?”

Izuku tried not to look too disgusted as she watched her charge eat. After all, he hadn’t eaten anything other than porridge for almost 5 days, he must be ravenous, she really shouldn’t judge him. Instead of simply watching him wolf-

-down meat like a beast, she just kept preparing it for him. She was worried he’d start eating it raw if she slowed down, so she fed him until he literally passed out. She hope he didn’t get sick. She carried him back to the bed in the spare bedroom, and after watching-
-him for about an hour to make sure he didn’t get sick, she went out to hunt for some more meat. Her stores had been nearly depleted by her guest, plus, he’d probably be hungry when he woke up, so she’d do her best to make him comfortable until he was better!
She returned home just before sunset, carrying a doe on her back. She was quite satisfied with it, and she’d have time to skin it before it got too dark! As she approached her cottage, her front door opened, and the man stepped out.
“Eh, you’re up?” she asked, trying in vain to wipe away some of the blood on her face. “Y-you should be in bed!” He furrowed his brows at her as he stomped forwards. She barely had time to react by the time he reached her, and before she knew it, he had grabbed her-
-dagger and lifted the doe off of her. She watched in awe as he went to sit on a nearby rock and start to skin it.
“O-oh! Y-you don’t have to! I can take care of it! Y-y-you should rest more!”
“Shut up, pathetic human,” he snapped as he expertly began to work.

By the time he came back in, the last bit of light had left the sky.
“Thank you,” she smiled at him as he set the meat on the table.
“I don’t need your thanks,” he snapped angrily, confusing her. “I’m simply repaying my debts. How annoying,” he grumbled that last part as he-

-began to head back to his room.
“O-oh! By the way! I never asked your name!” she called after him, making him stop in his tracks. She felt quite silly over not having known or asked sooner, and hoped he wouldn’t be too upset as he turned back to face her.

“You mean, you don’t know?” he asked, confusion clear in his voice.
“Um, n-no?” she answered, feeling a little awkward.
“But, then, why did you save me?” he asked, his brows furrowing even deeper.
“Well, you were hurt,” she said with a nervous laugh. “I-

“Bakugou Katsuki,” he answered with a grunt before heading back to his room.
