Title: "No one"

CW: Angst, Drama, Homophobia, Sexism, black mail - not from bkdk, discrimination, Pro Hero Bakugou, QL Deku, Happy ending.

I had an idea! Can you join me in another thread?!
o( ̄┰ ̄*)ゞ
Katsuki, a popular pro hero, is in a relationship with ordinary office worker Deku but they are keeping their relationship a secret because Katsuki is a well known hero and they are both men. Society isn't that welcoming yet of same sex relationships.
Even with all of these problems they face, Katsuki is determined to keep their relationship going. He wants Deku. He needs him.

Once upon a time, when he was still young and naive, he used to believe that he is better than everyone else, so that
means other extras are weak and below him. That included Deku who he has named that way because of his immaturity back then.

Izuku is quirkless with no power, is super weak and useless to a society that values the strong and flashy. Izuku became Deku and Katsuki became a bully.
Years of abuse is what Katsuki gave to him. From pushing him away, to blasting his personal belongings and the worst, telling him to swan dive from the rooftop.

After that very day he told Deku this, he disappeared. Completely gone from school even more the year ended.
It would be a lie to say he didn't panic for a second that maybe Deku did what he told him to.

When the school didn't explain what happened and when his classmates didn't even care like he didn't exist is when Katsuki started to see something was wrong with society.
His mother that night told him that the Midoriya's have moved away to a different prefecture. Katsuki felt relieved; Deku is ok but also now far away.

Katsuki didn't have his contact information, he never thought he needed it from Deku of all people. Frankly he thought
it shouldn't matter, because Katsuki still thinks that Deku didn't matter to him even if he did feel a sting in each passing day at school at the sight of the empty chair behind him.

Then UA had humbled him.
At a place where the best of the best are, Katsuki was only one of them, not the greatest. When those times came that he did so well he would turn to his side expecting a praise, a voice that would say,

/'Kacchan's amazing!'/
But there never was. It was always empty just as his heart had been.

Something was missing, a hole that couldn't be filled no matter how much he achieved through the years and many years it was.
It was only then at the age of 25, at his prime and rising in the ranks, he saved someone in a crumbling building. That person had dark green hair full of dust and debris . The gash on their head caused blood to flow down their cheeks, freckles cheeks. Katsuki could pinpoint the
exact moment his heart felt full and stopped at the same time.

It's Deku. It's Izuku!

The boy he once lost and now a man that he might lose again.
"Fuck don't die on me Deku!" His screech can be heard across the street and was enough for the other man to half open his eyes, emerald eyes he knew so well.

Deku was able to speak so faintly

"Kacchan…"

And lost consciousness all over again.
Katsuki spent every day after work at the hospital waiting for Deku to wake up. Day by day he notices the small things he actually missed.

Like how Deku's hair is thicker now and much softer, so may have touched it to comb out the knots while he is in bed. Or how there are more
freckles on his cheeks and back, so maybe he washes Deku's body from time to time, or that he knows the number of freckles Deku used to have in middle school.
Or how his face is still as angelic as it always was. Katsuki noticed all of these and his own feelings that have been kept inside for so long.

Deku stayed in the hospital for a month, in a coma that the doctors said they were not sure if he would ever wake up from.
So Katsuki begged for the first time in his life.

He had been the most terrible person in the past and here is the evidence of who he was yet Katsuki drops on his knees, takes a cold clammy hand in his warm ones and begged.
"You know, after I got to UA nothing went as planned. I tried to figure out what it meant to be strong and admit that I was actually weak. I got stronger and knew myself better. I'm rising to the top now because I finally know what it truly means to be a hero but I just couldn't
forget about you. You are the reason I am here.. You, the one person that suffered the most from my insecurities. What I'm saying might not mean anything to you but…" Katsuki squeezes Deku's hand.
"Deku, I'm sorry for everything I've done until now. Please wake up and come back to me."

The hospital room is silent. Only the sound of the curtains flowing from the cool night wind can be heart and Katsuki's own nervous heartbeat.
He feels hopeless and helpless as he continues to hold on to Deku's tightly. Nothing happens, filled with despair Katsuki lets go but not before he feels a movement. So very slight but it was there. A slight twitch of fingers, an effort to touch back.
A slow flutter of lashes and slowly opening eyes. Dull green turns to shining emeralds when Deku finally sees Katsuki. Dekus eyes shone with recognition.

Deku is awake.
And the first words that Katsuki says to him after a long time of not seeing each other are calm and sure,

"Deku, I love you."

They started dating right after Deku got discharged a week later.

Katsuki was relentless after all.
-
-
-

Deku is dating a pro hero. Whenever he thinks about it, it causes him to blush and shake his head. As a hero enthusiast, it's like a dream come true. As a Dynamight fan, it's like he died and went to heaven.
Deku is dating Pro Hero Dynamight. Top 4 in hero ranking and top 1 in most sought after bachelor in the whole of Japan. Yes, that Dynamight, Bakugou Katsuki.
Deku has been in love with him even when they were kids. They had a fall out and he moved away when they finally met again after a villain attack Kacchan suddenly confessed to him and courted him non-stop. Honestly Deku has no idea why Kacchan wanted him, but he was so honest
and straightforward about it that Deku could not refuse. He has loved him longer after all.

So yes, they are together but no one knows except them and their family.

They have to keep a secret. Same sex couples are tolerated at best but not exactly accepted.
They are perfectly content the way they are. A secret in public but sweet in private.

There were no problems and then Kacchan introduced his best friend to Deku.
"This Kirishima Eijirou."

Kirishima Eijiro is a nice guy. He's hyper, very friendly and as Kacchan had said had been his rock, no pun intended, during his years of self discovery at UA.

"Shitty hair, this is Izuku. I've known him since we were in diapers."
Kirishima doesn't know about the relationship as Deku was introduced as a childhood friend that Kacchan had met up with once again.

It's a dinner meet up that Kacchan wanted for a while now. Deku knows this means a lot to him that his two closest people get to know each other.
He feels proud that Kacchan wanted him to meet his UA friends and fellow pro hero.

The conversation between the three of them is good. Kirishima himself is a talker and his laugh is contagious. Deku thinks they could become good friends.
The dinner went on like that until Kacchan had to stand up to take a call, leaving the two of them behind.

Deku feels a bit awkward since it will just be him and Kirishima and they have just met.
"Must be the media. You know how it is rising to the top of the ranks and all." Kirishima says enthusiastically. Deku doesn't seem to have to worry about awkwardness, Kirishima is talkative.
"Yeah, Kacchan is amazing." He agrees to what the other says, smiling while looking at Kacchan at the far corner speaking to someone on the phone.

"He sure is! That's why I think his future girlfriend should be just as amazing!"
Deku almost drops his fork, his grip gets weak and he just stares at his hand near the plate as Kirishima continues to talk.

Kirishima seems to think his silence is permission for him to continue.

"He's got to have a really amazing girl, someone pretty and not plain."
Deku felt a strange itch on his chest.

"She's got to be sexy and feminine at the same time, he can't have those girls that are muscular. He has to be the only manly one."

It turns into something heavy and dull.
"And above all she's got an amazing quirk. For someone with a great and awesome quirk like Katsuki, she has to have something like that."

Which is now a sharp ache spreading all over his body.
"Katsuki should have a super girlfriend. I mean look at him. He is just simply the best out there, so why should someone plain and ordinary be good for him, right Midoriya?"
Deku feels like he wants to cry as all his self confidence drains out of him.

Kirishima waits for Deku's answer with a bright smile that has no ill will. He truly just wants the best for his best friend.
This man is Kacchan's best friend and might be Deku's biggest problem.

By the way he speaks about Kacchan, Deku concluded that no matter what, Kirishima should never know about him and Kacchan.

"Yeah." Meekly, Deku responded.
Kirishima just positively beams. His big arms went over Deku's shoulder and pulled him in much to Deku's surprise.
"You know what Midoriya, I think you get me. I thought you were just some typical nerd but I think you’re just the guy that can help me find my best bro the perfect girl. So what do you say?” Kirishima declares with all his muscled glory.

Deku gulps. This isn't good at all.

It's become a custom of sorts between them, that whoever finishes work first will wait for the other at a coffee shop near each other's office.

Deku would sometimes have over time, so Kacchan would be waiting at a cat cafe at the corner of his building.
Deku especially enjoys these times because he gets to see his boyfriend play with the cats. It's the cutest thing to see Kacchan all grouchy faced but being so gentle with a kitten.
But most of the time it would be Deku waiting at a cafe across the road, right in front of his agency. With how inconsistent Kacchan’s work time is, it couldn't be helped.
He doesn't mind waiting though, not when the large glass window of the cafe shows all the pro heroes coming in and out of the agency.

Being a hero enthusiast that he is, it felt like a special treat to see them.
He will just enjoy his strawberry matcha with four shots of espresso and stare at the agency building until his boyfriend arrives.

“Midoriya?”

His leisure time ended too soon.
Deku turns his head at the person who called for him when the chair at his side gets pulled back for a man to sit down in. His toothy shark-like smile is just beaming and those red eyes match with his red hair that surprisingly isn't styled up today.
“Kirishima-kun.” Deku greets the newly arrived man. He hopes his smile isn't awkward.

He doesn't feel comfortable being around this guy after their last meeting.
Deku has no hard feelings about the idea of finding Kacchan a girlfriend when he doesn't know that he and Kacchan are dating. Still he doesn't feel all too at ease.
This man is Kacchan’s best friend, so Deku didn't tell him about the conversation. Deku hoped that the incident wouldn't happen again.
“Coincidence meeting you here near the agency." Says Kirishima to him. He isn't in his hero suit, only in a black shirt and pants. He is off duty at the moment it seems.

"I just ordered some coffee before heading in for work. I didn't expect you to be here either."
He mentions as he lifted up his own cup of hot coffee in a take out cup.

"Straight black brewed, just what a real man should drink." Proudly Kirishima took a sip of his drink while eyeing Deku's own pink and green concoction with a hint of judgment.
His brow raised up a little bit but he didn't say anything about it.

Deku holds on to his favorite drink with both hands, feeling suddenly nervous like a thousand eyes are on him and not just a pair.
"I was waiting for Kacchan. We had plans for dinner." He admits to Kirishima, surely there wasn't anything wrong with two friends having dinner. Right?

The redhead's brow seemed to twitch or was Deku just imagining it?
"You two sure are close." Kirishima notices.

It's Deku's turn to twitch but full bodied with nerves..

"Well you are childhood friends after all!" Kirishima bawls, patting Deku on his shoulder a bit too hard, making him spill a bit of his drink.
"Well Katsuki should be out soon enough. So for the meantime…" He pointed with his thumb at the agency's main entrance right in front of them through the big glass.
"Let's check out some of the girls." He winks at Deku who blushed badly. He took a sip from his drink to cool himself down but Kirishima is already looking out. So he's into these kinds of hobbies?
"That girl there." He points at a person walking slowly while looking up at the sky. The vines on her head tell Deku she is Ibara Shiozaki.

"She's pretty and has a nice figure but green hair kinda looks like grass. Not good."
The straw drops from his lips when he hears how serious the hero was in his words. He then looks at the slight reflection of his own hair on the glass in front of him.

Does his own hair look like grass?
"Come on Midoriya, you said you'd help me find Katsuki a girlfriend. We have to check out on what we can." Kirishima enthusiastically says to him. He is pumped up all the way, eyes scanning every person coming out of the building.
Deku does not share the same energy, he deflates on his seat. This guy hasn't forgotten his declaration during dinner to find Kacchan a woman. So this isn't a hobby, it's Kirishima following through on his words.
"I think she looks cute." He gives his opinion. He isn't sure on what to exactly say when the people they are judging are supposed to be candidates for his boyfriend.
"Nah, cute won't cut it. The girl needs to be perfect cuz Katsuki is perfect after all." Kirishima shines at him. He waits for Deku to agree as Deku shares the same sentiments about Kacchan.
Deku could only nod. But he knows that in all the coolness and amazingness that Kacchan exudes, there are his flaws of insecurities and fragileness that only Deku knows of. Yet those qualities are accepted and faced head on by Kacchan. That is what makes him perfect.
"That girl."

He comes out of his musings when Kirishima gets his attention to another woman leaving the agency. Her black hair is sleek and smooth, and her figure is lovely. A very prim and proper looking woman. Creati is truly beautiful!
There are such beauties in Kacchan's agency yet he chooses Deku. It makes him a bit happy to think about it.

"Momo is cute but she has some light dots on her nose, kinda looks like dirt. I heard freckles are hereditary, I don't think dots on Katsuki's kids would not be cute."
Yet maybe he should think again.

He touches his face thinking of all the freckles he has on them and all the rest on his whole body. Deku thought of them as normal but are they really like dirt to other people?
He wouldn't want Kacchan to have kids with dirty faces but Deku can't give him kids can he?

His fingertips started to feel cold as he thought about it more.
"Oh it's Jirou." Kirishima pointed out and true enough a petite woman walks towards the agency along with a blond man Deku knows as ChargeBolt.

"No way man. She's almost the same body type as Denki. It would be like Katsuki dating a guy and that's not manly at all."
Says Kirishima with a shake of his head. He looks absolutely against the idea, with brows furrowed and lips thin.

Deku just stares at his drink. He expected this. He expected people to be against same sex relationships and had expected some bad opinions.
But who would have thought it coming from the mouth of a hero close to his boyfriend would affect him so much like this.

His fingers are freezing from gripping his drink too hard and his heart might actually stop if this conversation goes on.
"Ahh man. Good physical specs are hard to find plus there's their quirk to think about." Kirishima places his fingers on his chin in deep thought.

Deku clenches his teeth.
He doesn't like where this is going.

"Her quirk needs to be powerful like Katsuki's."

His muscles tense up. His breathing goes fast but he decides to speak.

"Does a quirk really matter though?" Deku dares to ask.
Kirishima looks at him, long and hard, looking confused why he would ask such a thing.

"Of course. Katsuki has a strong quirk. Having a partner that's weak is useless as quirkless."
The ice in his drink melts a bit to break away from the cluster. It makes a small splash when it hits what remains in his cup. The silence between them is so loud that he hears only that.
Deku breaks the stillness with a light laugh even though he could barely breathe and his eyes stings.

"It's nice to know that Kacchan has a friend that is so thoughtful." He concludes. He neither agrees or disagrees with Kirishima's statements.
Kirishima scratches the back of his head, looking bashful now.

"Gee thanks man. You're a great friend too! We have to look out for him, you know. He's getting to an age when he's supposed to marry and have kids. He has to pass on those great hero genes after all."
With an enthusiastic punch in the air, Kirishima declares with all his strength.

All the strength that seems to have left Deku's body. He can't stand this anymore. He can't bare to listen to the truth Kirishima is slapping on his face.
All the doubts and fears he had pushed so hard in a box to be locked away are starting to open up again.

"Well I got go. My shift is about to start soon. I'll tell Katsuki you're here and nice seeing yah! Let's meet again sometime!" Red riot stands up.
He finished his coffee and waved Deku goodbye.

Deku waves back. Once the door closes and Kirishima crosses the road did he sigh in relief that he finally left. He could barely put a word out when the hero was talking.
It was a one man conversation that left him with his self esteem shattered.

Deku's strawberry Matcha latte was a water out mess by the time Kacchan arrived.

-
-
-
They ate at a ramen shop, then had ice-cream at a local combini on the way home.

People often think that Kacchan is a silent person with his mean demeanor but when he is with Deku he talks a lot.
Mostly complains, sometimes even gossip that Kacchan finds hard to believe in. A lot of the time it's about what happened during his patrol.

"And then that idiot dunce face trip on a coin when Jirou called for him. A coin Deku! A fucking coin!"
Deku laughs at Kanchan's frustration while telling his story. It's always such a joy to listen to him.

"Maybe he just likes Jirou-san." He added for thought.
"Pfft. That's some way of showing it, making a fool of himself isn't getting him brownie points. He should just say it right to her." Says Kacchan as they made a turn at a corner where Deku's apartment should be close.
"Not everyone is brave enough to confess to their crush Kacchan." Deku humors him.

Kacchan stops by an alleyway, making Deku stop too, wondering what was wrong.
"I did. I confessed cuz I'm no chicken shit and what I felt isn't just a crush. It's more than that." He declared with so much confidence that it made Deku flushed from head to toe.
Kacchan pulls his hand so they are in the small alleyway with barely there lights that's just enough to illuminate their faces.

"Kacchan what are you doing? What's wrong?" Deku asked.
"I should ask you the same thing. You've been less of a yapper today and you barely touched your katsu ramen." Katsuki replies back to him. He gently pushes Deku on to the wall with his own body caging him so he couldn't run away.

"Did Eijiro say something to you?"
There was anger in his voice and Deku became worried. As much as he hated how Kirishima talked to him, he still isn't at fault because he didn't know about them dating.

Deku couldn't bare the thought of Kacchan losing his best friend just because of a misunderstanding.
"No no no! It's not like that. Kirishima-kun just talked a lot that it took a lot as well out of him. I just wasn't used to it." Deku reasoned. It was exactly a lie. He just didn't say what he talked about. Kacchan doesn't need to know.
Kacchan still looked skeptical but eventually nodded.

"He is a lot to handle but he isn't so bad."

Deku feels relieved that Kacchan believed in him.
A moment later he feels loft lips in a light peck touching his own. Kacchan had kissed him. Red eyes turned smoldering looking at him.

In a dark alley they shared a much deeper and heated kiss.
Kacchan pulls away and Deku could only whine making his boyfriend grin.

"Come on." He takes Deku's hand and leads him out the alley but not before leaning to his ear to whisper.

"Let's continue at your place."
Deku's face went red as a strawberry. His eyes spin and he feels dizzy. Kacchan is so mean to be laughing at his reaction.

He didn't notice that in the same dark alley a pair of red eyes were watching.
-
-
-

The next day Deku had overtime and so did Kacchan. Meeting up wasn't an option. There would be days like this and that's fine too.

It's 8pm when Deku finally got out of work. It's exactly that time he received a message from an unregistered number on his phone.
[Hey Midoriya. This is Kirishima Eijiro. I got your number from Katsuki. I was wondering if we could meet up now to have dinner.]

Kirishima-kun had invited him.

And that is Part 2. I wrote this while feeling the anger for people who judge others based on their looks. Those people make me so angry.

Kacchan has few friends and those he trusts with his life can barely be counted by his fingers.

Kirishima is one of them. He had helped him find his true self and had on numerous occasions supported his path to be a great hero.
He is such an important person to Kacchan that Deku wanted to be on good terms with him at the very least. Also RedRiot is a hero he really admires with such an amazing quirk.

It would be nice to be friends.

Which is why he accepted the invitation.
Deku is nervously standing in front of a room in a Japanese restaurant. Places like these are expensive and very exclusive for heroes. The individual rooms give the Pros the privacy they need.
He hopes that with a room this private there will be no judging of other people's appearances like last time.

He breathes in and out to calm his ever jittery nerves then comes into the room that was reserved under Kirishima's and his own name.
"Hey there Midoriya. So glad you came. Have a seat. I was just about to pour some tea." Kirishima offers him a seat across the table with a mention of his hand.
"Th-thank you for having me." Embarrassingly Deku stutters then bows slightly before closing the door and going to his seat.

Tea is poured for him which Deku graciously accepts. He was invited for a meal and maybe a light chat but there is nothing else on the table yet.
Deku looks around for a menu but even that isn't anywhere near. There is nothing but a teapot and their cups.

Did Kirishima already order for them?

"Really I'm glad that you accepted my invitation Midoriya. You're a really good guy. I can tell just from looking at you.
A good guy and a long time friend of Katsuki at that. " Kirishima drawls on. His usually chirpy energetic tone is unusually flat. He sounded serious and as he talks on he reaches a monotone.

Deku gulps, his mouth feels dry even though he just drank his tea.
"I'm not all that-"

"And you seemed smart." He gets cut off, rather sharply too.

"Um I guess so -"

"No no. I know you are. Because you know how amazing Katsuki is. You acknowledge he is a great hero with an amazing quirk meant for great things."
There is a contrast in his complimenting words to his now constant flat tone. There was no excitement in his praise like there usually is whenever it's him talking about Kacchan.
This is making Deku feel on edge. He lets go of his tea cup, placing his hands instead on his lap as he starts to pick on the loose skin cuticles of his thumb in a nervous habit to calm himself down.
The room feels suffocating with its four walls and no windows. Deku doesn't understand why, when nothing bad is happening to him. Kirishima is complimenting him, isn't he?

"You are smart, Midoriya." Kirishima comes to his conclusion with a smile which instantly drops.
"Which is why I really want to ask you if you understand what you are doing."

Deku flinches in the sudden change of mood. This is the first time he had ever seen Kirishima be so serious with him.
"Doing what exactly, Kirishima-kun?" Deku asked what he was referring to warrant such a look from the other man.

Kirishima stared at him hard. He says nothing, instead he pours more tea in his cup.
"I have been trying to introduce Katsuki to some girls over the past years but every time I do, he refuses. At first I thought maybe he's picky and it made sense. He's an amazing guy so he must be looking for an amazing girl."
He gazes at the light liquid where his reflection shows a discontented man.

"But now I know the real reason why he refuses every time."
Then have all his attention once again to Deku full of blame and all at once he understood. This isn't an invitation for a light chat to get closer.
"I feel betrayed, Midoriya. I thought you understood me. I thought you were smart. So let me ask you again. Do you understand what you are doing with Katsuki?"

This is a confrontation! They have been caught!
"I understand." Deku replies to him, stiffly with cold sweat running down his back but he swallows all his fears.

He expected the day would come that sooner or later someone would find out about his relationship with Kacchan.
He has to be strong because he wants this. He wants to be with Kacchan.

"And we are doing nothing wrong. We just love each other." As strongly as he could muster, Deku declared with all his feelings. He hopes he can get it across to Kacchan's best friend.
Kirishima's expression did not change.

"You're in love…you're right. It's love." But then he smiles at the very word of love like butterflies are everywhere with blooming flowers surrounding him. Such a quick change in demeanor.
Deku relaxes a bit. Kirishima seems to have understood. Perhaps he isn't so bad after all. He is Kacchan's closest friend, so of course he would be accepting and kind.
"But you're a guy."

Deku's smile slowly fades.

"And you're quirkless."

And he freezes in shock.
"Just think about Midoriya. If you have a shiny toy would you want something to ever tarnish it and scratch it, to destroy it? Of course not. So why would you ever want to destroy Katsuki's chances of being the number one hero?"
The walls around Deku are caving in. There is no room to move. There is no air to breathe. Yet with what is left inside his lungs Deku tries to fight back.

"Kacchan….is not a toy."
Kirishima nodded in agreement and replied calmly, "Then stop playing with his hero career like it's one. You're going to destroy everything he worked so hard for just for that 'love' that you have."

The pro hero poured the last of his tea and drank it all in one go.
"Pro Hero Dynamite coming out as gay after being caught in an affair with a quirkless man." He chuckles while shaking his head as if he thought of the most funny of jokes.
"You wouldn't dare tell anyone?!" Deku tells him or is he asking him? He didn't know. He started to shake on his seat.

"His ranking would drop." Kirishima warned him.
Deku can't feel his hands, only his heart beating too fast and mind jumbled with all the fears coming out of the box he tried so hard to close. He is fully aware of what people would think of him if they knew of their relationship.
He thought he was ready for the judgment because he is used to it from years of being quirkless but what about Kacchan? What would happen to him? What about his dream of being the top hero? What would people say about him?
"Let's face it Midoriya, no one in hero society will ever accept your relationship. No one is going to welcome you."
Deku felt a sharp pain from his numbed hand. He looks down to see his thumb is bleeding. He had sunk his nail into the cuticle too hard. The blood drips down his pants, staining the brown into red in drops.
He couldn't look back at Kirishima anymore. He couldn't unless he wanted to fully break down. So he hunches over and stares at his bleeding thumb instead.
"For Katsuki's sake, I hope you think about it, Midoriya. You can leave now. The reservation under your name ends in five minutes." Said Kirishima without an ounce of empathy.
Deku's vision spins.

/'For Katsuki's sake.'/

He stood up and ran out of the room and out of the restaurant. He doesn't look at anyone that passes by. He doesn't want to see their eyes as he feels like all of them know his secret and that all of them are judging him.
He doesn't remember how he got home but he was sure that he ran all the way there. He falls on the floor, breathing hard. Deku's body relaxes in a place he finally feels safe and thus allows himself to finally cry. Ugly sobs wreak his body.
/'For Katsuki's sake.'/

/'For Katsuki's sake.'/

/'For Katsuki's sake.'/

Kirishima's words haunt him.

/'No one is going to welcome you.'/
Deku curls into a ball. It hurts. He hurts.

He falls asleep like that in tears.

His phone rings with the 6th missed call.

("Oi are you sure you're ok?") He asked more sternly over the phone.

"Yes, I'm fine. My fever has gone down now." Deku explains to him again. He had explained to the man that he couldn't reply to his calls the other night because he fell asleep and the next day got a fever.
That's why he couldn't contact much.

He hears Kacchan sigh on the other end. He could imagine him rubbing his temples and frowning really hard.
("Just don't overwork your nerd ass and stop eating cup noodles and shit.") Kacchan tries hard to sound angry but Deku can still hear the concern in his voice. It brings a smile to his face.

"I will. I promise."
("Ok. And… I'm sorry I can't be there for you. The mission assignment was given to Kirishima and me so suddenly but I promise I'll be back as soon as I can once this is over. You hear?!")
Deku bit his tongue and pursed his lips at the mention of that name. Kacchan has been assigned on a mission to a different prefecture by his agency. What a coincidence that the assignment mission happens right after his talk with Kirishima.
It's like it was purposely done so that they couldn't meet up with each other.

("Katsuki, headquarters calls for us. You gotta get off the phone.")
The sound of that different voice made him flinch even if it was just on the line. Someone is talking to Kacchan and Deku can tell who.

("Yeah yeah shut up. I'll be there.") He hears Kacchan say to Kirishima from afar.
("Deku gotta go. Eat your food and stay in bed to rest.")

("Katsuki!") Kirishima calls for him again, more urgently.

With the most steady voice he could mutter, Deku says to his boyfriend,

"You better go now, Kacchan. Goodbye."
("Fine. By the way mom and dad said hi and asked when we could visit them. Gotta go. Bye.")

The phone call ended but Deku spent the next minutes just staring at his phone until the screen turned black. He lies back down on his bed as he feels his fever start to rise again.
It's been two days since that night he fell asleep crying. Of course he would get a fever by sleeping with sweaty clothes on a cold night on the cold floor. He's an idiot.

//Mom and dad said hi and asked when we could visit them.// He recalled Kacchan's words.
"If we ever broke up, I'm sure that your parents would be so relieved." He says out loud to no one but himself, but isn't it the truth?

Their relationship is tolerated but not accepted.

Deku starts picking on the corner of his fingers again.

Monday.
[Deku, I have over time but Kirishima is helping me out.]

Tuesday.
[Something came up at the next city and I got called in by Kirishima.]

Wednesday to Friday.
[I got assigned to a campaign ad with Kirishima. I won't be able to come over today.]
Saturday.
[Kirishima asked me to help with some paperwork. This idiot made a lot of mistakes. I have to help his ass or we will both get in trouble.]

Sunday night.
[Sorry Deku.]

Deku hasn't seen Kacchan for more than two weeks now. He's been busy - with Kirishima.
He knows now that it's not a coincidence. Everything was deliberately done so that Kacchan wouldn't have time to see him.

Kirishima is using all his power to pull them apart.

Deku is in a stand still.
He doesn't know what to do. He should avoid Kacchan, he had been warned and threatened to stay away but it's so hard to do when Deku had loved Kacchan all his life.

To stay or to go, he doesn't know so he just goes with the flow and acts like the separation does not bother him.
He replies to Kacchan like he always does, like he isn't on the verge of breaking down again.

["It's ok Kacchan. It's all in the line of work. Go do your best hero!
ᕙ⁠ ⁠(⁠°⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠°⁠ ༶⁠ ⁠)"]
Deku knew that dating a pro Hero has its challenges. He knew it's not going to be easy when two men date, that's why they kept it behind closed doors. If the door ever opens and people would see them, what would they say?
Would they tolerate them as Kacchan's parents did or would they shun them like Kirishima did?

/'His ranking would drop.'/ Kirishima warned him.

He is scared. Should he continue this or not?
He stops after a turn in a corner, the plastic bag in his hand full of cup noodles swings at the sudden halt. He just went out to the combini to buy something to eat wearing his black hoodie and khaki shorts. He didn't expect to meet anyone.
"Didn't I say no cup noodles?"

He is being scolded but Deku could only admire the sight of Kacchan in his semi complete winter costume.
"I thought you're going to be busy tonight." He says to Kacchan who is already walking towards him and before he knows it his body is covered in warmth and the scent of burnt sugar and musk. Kacchan scent.
"I am. I just went out for a bit to check on you and good thing I did cuz you've been eating junk again." Kacchan speaks softly in a reprimanding tone but it's all care and love he feels in his arms.
Kacchan doesn't say much, he doesn't act much either but when he does it's overwhelming and true.

Deku smothers himself into a strong chest, just taking in the scent, the sound, the heat of everything that is Kacchan. He misses him so much.
"Sorry. I haven't been around." Kacchan apologizes tenderly.

"It's ok. I understand." Deku assures him.

They spend a few more seconds like that until Kacchan's phone starts to ring in his pocket. He tried to ignore it but the call just didn't stop.
Kacchan is forced to pull away and angrily checks who the caller is.

Deku sees the screen and almost goes pale.

(Kirishima Eijiro)
He hears a deep sigh from Kacchan. He doesn't answer the call, he puts the phone back into his pocket and looks at Deku with knotted brows.

"I have to go." He says, but body language says he doesn't really want to with his hands on Deku's waist.
"It's ok. Just go.
They need you back." Deku is the one that pulls his hand away from him and pushes him to go.

Kacchan pouts but goes with it. Deku watches Kacchan leave while he waves goodbye. His hand drops when in the distance the blonde got a taxi and left.
He hugs himself, feeling whatever is left of Kacchan's warmth, his scent, his very presence. Is he really willing to let all of that go?

"I don't know anymore." .

Monday afternoon and Deku goes out of the office on time for once. He plans on cooking dinner as he promised Kacchan to eat healthy.

He waits for the light to signal that he can cross the road when a message is received on his phone just as the light sign says go.
Deku shouldn't check it when crossing but the name on the screen jolts him to.

What did Kirishima want this time?

["Didn't I tell you to stay away from Katsuki? Now look at what you've done!"]
[Attached screen shot photo]
Deku stops in the middle of the pedestrian crossing. His eyes are glued on the screen at the photo sent to him of an article with a stolen photo of Kacchan hugging someone wearing a black hoodie.
The person in his arms identity can't be seen by the angle but the article says in bold letters in its heading.

[PRO HERO DYNAMIGHT SECRET MEETING WITH HIS LOVER?]

Kirishima sent more messages.
["That's you isn't it? The picture is all over social media! People are gossiping like mad. How could you let this happen? This is going to ruin Katsuki's image! Midoriya what have you done?!"]
Deku is in the middle of the walkway with many people around him, some are staring and looking at him strangely. Others are walking and talking. He hears them.
"Dynamight is seeing someone?"
"Who could this be?"
"Aww I used to like him so much but now he's dating."
"How scandalous!"
"Who is the lucky woman?"

"Woman? But it looks like a man."
He hears them then he doesn't. He sees people looking at him then he doesn't. His vision is spinning, his ears are ringing. They know! They all know! Everything is swirling around him with murmurs and whispers and static and his heartbeat much too loud in his chest.
No. No. No. No. No.

Car horns are blowing at him with drivers screaming for him to move. The lights are red.

Deku runs.

He runs and runs, ignoring the onslaught of messages coming from Kirishima, from Mitsuki and Masaru, and from his own mother.
Deku stops at a small alleyway that is just barely enough for him to sit down at. He's shaking so badly but the moment his phone rang he had to force himself to be calm.

He answers it after a few deep breaths.
["Deku!"] He didn't even get the chance to even say hello.

["Deku where are you?! Did you see the articles? Don't read them! Look, my agency is handling it at the moment. Everything will be fine."] He says that but Kacchan sounds frantic on the phone and that's so much worse.
"Kacchan, maybe we shouldn't see each other for the meantime or contact each other."

["Deku!"]

"Please. Until everything settles down. Let's stay away!"
Deku cuts off the call before Kacchan could say anything more. Just as his screen lights up to a notification from HeroNews.

[Dynamight's ranking in hot waters after scandalous affair.]

Deku drops his phone. The screen cracks.
Kacchan's ranking dropped.

"What have I done!"

Deku cries, sitting in a dark alley.

-
-
-
Katsuki stares at his phone then outside the big windows of his agency building.

"Bakugou, the HR is looking for y - Holy shit." Denki backs away in fear.
Katsuki is known for his explosive and loud anger. So if he is silent with a blank face and wide eyes with red pupils like pools of swirling blood then there is something to be much more afraid of.

Deku is sad.
Kacchan is mad

Title: "No one"

CW: Angst, Panic Attacks, Drama, Homophobia, Sexism, black mail - not from bkdk, discrimination, bad nervous habits, Implied suicidal thoughts, Pro Hero Bakugou, QL Deku, Happy ending.

Thank you so much!💚💚💚
"Midoriya!"

Deku is visibly shaken. His focus returns to the man holding the files that he had passed just this morning. It's hard to see clearly when his eyes are still swollen and most likely the dark circles under them are just as prominent.
"Are you listening to me?” The section chief of his department asked sternly before slamming the pile of papers on the table. Deku nearly jumps at the loud sound as fidgety as he already is.
“Yes sir and I am really sorry.” He replied, bowing down slightly to show his most sincere apology.

He hears the section chief sigh.

“This is the third time in just two days. Don't let this happen again! Whatever your personal problems are, don't let it affect your work."
He is given warning, a first in all his years while working for the company. He feels ashamed so he keeps his head bowed.

He gets told to leave and go back to work.
Work where all he hears is gossip about how Pro Hero Dynamight is currently on temporary leave. The news on TV and online are how his home is swarmed by news media outlets asking for an interview or how he is being stalked by the paparazzi when he tries to go outside.
Deku sits down in his cubicle. He stares blankly on his screen as his co-workers continue to talk amongst themselves.

"Do you think it's true? About Dynamight having a lover?"

"I mean his agency is suddenly quiet about it. So I bet it's true."

It's always the same topic.
"It's gotta be a normal citizen if he is hellbend in hiding her. I bet she's really beautiful and has an amazing quirk to be dating someone like Dynamight!"

They never get tired of it.
Deku reads the documents on his computer, his right hand on the mouse while his left hand picks on the already raw skin on his cuticles.

"I heard a rumor… it's actually a /he/."
A loud gasp comes out of all the women. Silence came between them as they all looked at each other worriedly.

They all think the same. They are all the same as Kirishima.

Deku's nail cuts through the skin of his forefinger.

-
-

It's been three days since he last contacted Kacchan. He hasn't heard from him ever since because hasn't checked his phone for the past three days. It sits in his apartment, on a table, ignored.

He had also been avoiding the calls from Kacchan's parents.
There are plenty of messages from them but he hasn't checked a single one. Deku is too scared to read what they had to say. For sure they are blaming him for their son's downfall. For sure they are wishing he had never met their son.
He hasn't checked what his mother has to say either. Is she disappointed in him? Angry? Disgusted at her own son that besides being quirkless, decided to ruin other people's bright future?

He doesn't want to know.
He just wants to go home and try to sleep; hopefully without crying first. Just a few more steps up the stairs and a few more till he reaches his apartment.
It all goes to a stop when he sees a man waiting in front of his door, standing there with his long brown coat covering his whole body.

It's Kirishima.
Deku feels scared, he wants to run but ultimately he feels defeated. So he stays.

"Why are you here?” Deku asked timidly to the man who had vehemently warned him to stay away from Kacchan.
Kirishima walks closer to him. Deku wishes he wouldn't, he wishes this man would just go away. What does he want? To blame him some more? To scream at him at how right he was all along. That Deku is nothing but a huge quirkless mistake?!
Deku already knows that! He had known since he was a kid. It has been spat at his face time and time again but he had always got up. If it's just his own self that's been pushed down, he can always get up but this isn't just about him.
This is about Kacchan and the career he might have just destroyed.

Kirishima didn't answer him even when they are now close to each other.
"Please just leave. You were right. I'm sorry. If you're angry at me then do what you want, just leave afterwards." Deku weakly requested from him.

He is tired. He just wants to rest, lie in bed, close his eyes until sleep takes over him - forever.
"Midoriya, saying sorry won't take back what happened." Said Kirishima as a matter of factory.

Deku’s hands clenches beside him.

"Sorry isn't a rewind button. The truth is already out and it could only get worse from here."
Deku’s face drops. He could only look down on the floor in hopes that if he ever cries, this man won't see them.

"Unless you do something."

Deku looks back up at Kirishima, not sure if he heard it right or maybe he was just mistaken.
"What do you mean?" Deku wants him to explain.

"If there is any way I can help Kacchan, I will! Please tell me how!" He pleads. He wants to correct the mess he has made.

With all seriousness, Kirishima's eyes set on him, taking all of Deku's attention.
"You're going to say it's all your fault and that you black mailed him to dating you."

Deku blinks a few times. His ears heard him but his brain didn't comprehend.

"What?" He asked Kirishima so he could understand what he just said. If he really heard it right.
"I have the whole scenario planned and written. I'll email it to you. The whole story will be that since you knew Katsuki since childhood you used it against him as a guilt trip so he would date you even though he really didn't want to.
Come out to the media and take the blame. That way Katsuki's name will be cleared."

With his sleep deprived brain, Deku waited for Kirishima to laugh and say it's all a joke but of course he didn't. The hero's expression remained solid as a rock just like his quirk sake.
He isn't joking. He is serious in using Deku as the scapegoat to make him look like the bad guy.

"But that's a lie. I would be lying. I would never force Kacchan. That's just wrong!" He couldn't stop himself from raising his voice anymore.
It would be risking Deku's life if he comes out in the open. He blames himself for everything but he knows that doing this would make Kacchan more angry and worried and would eventually blame himself for what would happen.
He would never lie about their love. Never! The world could hate them but his love for Kacchan will always remain pure and true.

Deku pushes past Kirishima to get to his apartment. He doesn't want to hear it anymore. He knew he could never trust this man.
But just as he reaches for the door knob Kirishima speaks again.

"You want to save him don't you."

And it made Deku completely stand still, grounded at the word ‘save.’
"I bet you were once a kid who wanted to be a hero before you found out you were quirkless. To save lives and do good. There is no difference to that now. You can still do it. So how about it? This is your chance. Be a hero this time. For him."
Kirishima said his speech. He stays for a second to get his point across then heads for the stairs.

But not before saying one last thing.

"Do it before it gets worse for you." Kirishima went down the steps and left to leave deku to contemplate.
He left Deku standing there just staring at the door knob, lost in his thoughts on a dream he had given up on.

"A hero… me?"

-
-
-
The next day Deku fully understands what Kirishima meant by ‘before it gets worse’ for him.

As he was waiting for the bus to work like usual, he got a strange feeling that people were staring at him. Pointing at his direction while looking at their phone.
He tries to calm himself down, as this isn't the first time his mind fools him he is being watched but there is something different. It all seems too real.

More and more people saw him and more and more people gave him glances.

Something is wrong.
A teenage girl comes up to him and flat out pointed at his face.

"You're that guy in the picture with Dynamight!"

Deku goes pale as all eyes turn to him. A sense of panic spreads all over his body, making his skin go cold.
He backs away slowly for a few steps, then runs back to his apartment as fast as he can. He can hear people say loudly now.

/The person in the picture/
/Dynamights lover/
/A man?!/
Everything around blurs, the buildings, the trees, the roads and cars, everything except for the many eyes glued to him no matter how hard he runs.

He arrives at his apartment. Locking the doors and closing the curtains. Somehow everybody knew it was him in the picture.
How did they know? How?!

Deku did not come out of his apartment. He ignores the onslaught of calls from unknown numbers on his phone and emails on interview requests from numerous news outlets.

This is a nightmare.
He just stays inside, under this blanket fort, surrounded by pillows. He hides from everyone, from the whole world. He will never come out ever again! Deku hugs his biggest and softest pillow to calm himself. To ground himself so he would not do something terrible to himself.
His phone is still going and he blocks every single number that tries to call him when a news notification arrives he wished he didn't see.
[Pro Hero Dynamight drops out of the top 10 hero rankings. A first since his debut. The drop in popularity is due to the escalating scandal circulating about him dating. Not just anyone but a man without a quirk…….]
Deku didn't read the rest of the article anymore.

He had been so self absorbed that he had forgotten about how this affected Kacchan.

His eyes are glazed over and face expressionless as he goes through his phone until he finds what he's looking for.
Deku calls on the number attached to a sent mail.

"Hello, is this Hero News Network? I received your email and I would like to accept the interview but I have a request. Make it a press conference."

It's a hassle to be covered from head to toe, it feels stuffy and overly hot but there are too many people around and he couldn't trust anyone to do this for him.

The gates of the arrivals opened and he finally sees the familiar heads of blond, brunette and green making him
heave a sigh of relief but it's short lived.

His phone pings on the news he has on notification to keep himself updated and his body that's hot under all the clothes nearly turns iced cold reading the headline.
[Hero News Network exclusive interview with rumored lover today in a press conference at –]

A message arrived at his phone from a number he hasn't heard from in days.

[Let's break up.]

He faces the people with him and shouts in panic.

"We got to go now!"

-
-
-
Eijirou reads the news. It's been causing a buzz in the entire online hero community. It's the talk of the town, if not the whole of Japan. Even some people from other countries are having their thoughts about the issue and voiced their interest
in the upcoming exclusive interview later.

It’s all happening so fast. Midoriya made the quick decision to accept it.

Eijirou sighs in relief. It might have been too much but there is no other way. He had to make sure Midoriya would stay away from Katsuki.
He tried to warn him but that didn't work. He saw it with his own eyes how the two had hugged each other in the middle of the street no less. Yes it was dark out but people still could have seen them.
He did what he thought was the only way to make sure he learned his lesson.

He took a picture of them and leaked it to the press. Eijirou knew it was risky, it could ruin
Katsuki's reputation just as much as it could destroy his hero career but he already had plans on how to fix it as long as Midoriya would follow through.

And to make sure that the guy would, he had also leaked his identity to the same press. Midoriya has no choice at this point.
Eijirou doubts Katsuki would take a step forward in any of this. In fact his agency would consider this as helpful for him. He also doubts that love between men could be more important than a good future. Love can be that strong,
especially love between men. He learned that the hard way. Eijirou refuses to dwell on the past.

If ever Katsuki's reputation does not recover well then maybe this will be a wake up call for him. He is a hero and must upheld the most respect by showing he is respectable himself.
The people are being called inside the hall. Kirishima goes in, hair under a hat and a mask on his face to hide his identity. He needs to make sure Midoriya does his part properly today.

-
-
-
Deku only has one good suit. He used it back then when his father died some 5 years ago. After his father's death he tried his best to be the man of the house to ease his mother's burden but that didn't work out.
His mother, in her kind nature, refuses to be coddled and tells him to live the life he wanted.

Deku didn't understand what she meant by that but the guilt of not being helpful started up in him even as he moved away to live on his own.
He had always wondered how she took the news lightly about his relationship with Kacchan. Deku feels that it's the same reason why she didn't accept his help. She was just being too kind. That made him feel more guilty.
He is sure it's the same for the Bakugou's; they are just being so kind to him. Though he isn't sure.

He wished he could ask them but there is no point anymore.

Everything ends today.
His tie is overly bulky and much too short, he never really knew how to tie it properly even more now with the mounting anxiety as he waits in the hall before he is called into the pressroom.
His insides are churning and it feels like there is a lump in his throat growing. He goes over the script Kirishima sent him in his mail. The man had really thought of what he should say almost as if he had known about his and Kacchan's life.
Perhaps Kacchan had told him the things that had happened to them before up until middle school. It just goes to show how much Kacchan trusts him.
The script starts with Deku telling everyone that he had been following Kacchan since they were kids to a point that it was obsessive and stalker-like. Kacchan, who eventually had enough, told Deku to stay away.
This causes Deku to be so heartbroken and depressed that he almost kills himself.

This led to Kacchan feeling guilty. Deku used this to blackmail Kacchan to date him and thus leading to that picture that went viral.
//"I forced it on him. I used his guilt and threatened him that I would tell everyone he tol me to kill myself because of him. I know it was a lie but I just really liked Bakugou-san so I did what I did.
I was wrong so please don't get him involved anymore. Bakugou is innocent. I am at fault. What we have between is over now that the truth is out."/

Kirishima had everything written down on how he should take all the blame. It's just plain cold and cruel but maybe
Deku deserves this for being so ambitious as dating a pro hero.

The door opens, making him jump up.

"Midoriya-san it's time to go to the press room." It's one of the production staff calling for him to go.
Deku takes a deep breath and prepares himself for what is to come. He goes out of the room only to be surprised to see a pro hero by the door.

"Hi I'm Earphone Jack. I'm assigned to be your guard for today." She introduced herself with her hand out.
If Deku wasn't so nervous right now he would have been fanboying over Jirou Kyouka but he remains calm as he could.

"Midoriya Izuku. I'm honored to meet you." He accepted her hand to shake and they walked towards the press room along with the staff.
"Actually, it's me that's honored." She declared to him proudly.

Deku looks at her rather confused because what one earth could she be proud of from him? In fact he had probably done so much damage to their agency.
“I don't understand.” He tells her, feeling stupid in the process.

"You and Bakugou, the relationship that you have gave me strength to be more honest about my relationship too." Jirou reveals her secret that she now wants to tell the world.
"I also love someone of the same gender. I was scared people would know. What would they say about us being both pro heroes so we kept it a secret but I found out about you two and realized we were not alone in this. It gave us strength. So thank you, Midoriya-san."
Jirou looks at him with teary eyes then looks forward, seemingly shy at what she just expressed but she looks bright and at ease like a weight has been lifted from her shoulder.
Deku's eyes widened at her confession. So Jirou too is like him. Something warm starts to nestle inside of him and it's threatening to spread across his body. He tries with all its might to stop it. It's not right to feel it.
"I feel the same way. Thank you Midoriya-san."

Deku looks at his other side where the production staff is beaming at him. He did a slight bow as they continued to wall, a token of thanks.
“Wait, why are you bowing? I didn't do anything.” Nervously he tries to stop the other man. He didn't need to do this but the staff still did. He too is proud.
“Our relationship isn't a secret but we were kinda ashamed to be out and about with it. People are so judgmental and we were scared how this could affect our work and how others see us. So we decided to try to act normal when out in public. But seeing Dynamight-san and
Midoriya-san in that picture just being like any other couple, it changed the way I think. What is normal anyway? Holding someone's hand is normal. Hugging someone is normal. Loving someone is normal no matter who they may be. So thank you Midoriya-san for inspiring us.”
The three of them stop just by a big door. The other side is full of people waiting for him to give his interview and speech but Deku didn't even think of those faceless people. His eyes are glued onto those in front of him whose smiles are bright and full of hope.
He lets out a tiny gasp as he realizes the look they are giving him, these are the faces of people that have been saved.

The warmth inside him spreads and he lets it.
The doors open and the sounds of shouting and flashes of cameras come into view. That warmth instantly drains.

Deku leaves the two behind the door and walks onto the stage. He looks around him at all these people screaming question after question when he stands by his seat.
“Is it true you are in a relationship with Pro Hero Dynamight?”

“How long have you been together?”

“Are you aware of his falling ranking?”

“What can you say about your relationship with a man?”
“Do you blame yourself for what is happening to his falling popularity?”

“Why are you still with him?”
He hears them all, he sees them all but only eyes on blank faces.The lights are too bright. The room is too big and wide while he is so small. Deku backs away a step as it all is too much, his fingers are scraping the skin on his thumb in
desperation to be calm but the lump in his throat makes it hard to breathe.

He closes his eyes and tries to breath in hard then breathes out when he opens them, then he sees him.

Red eyes.

Kirishima is there waiting.

Deku bites his lower lips. He has to do this.
Clearing his throat even with the lump of nerves, he speaks on the microphone.

“My name is Midoriya Izuku.”

"My name is Midoriya Izuku." He announces to the whole crowd of faceless people with a stiff body that dared not to move. Yet his eyes couldn't help but scan around the whole room to all the blank faces that only have judging eyes.
He is nothing but a small dot in a big room waiting to be erased depending on what he says. He wishes he could disappear. Be away somewhere he didn't have to face this.

Could he really do this? Is this the right thing to do? He’s scared but this is for Kacchan isn't it?
Deku wants to close his eyes but then he sees at the corner of his vision the proud expression of Jirou-san. It's only then did Deku notice on her cheek, instead of the usual eyedrop stamp makeup, a rainbow flag is painted on it.
The pride flag.

Support. Acceptance. Different colors but still together as one.

Unity in Diversity.

All those words come up to him all at once upon seeing the colorful rainbow.
Jirou-san gave him the thumbs up with her eyes shining and Deku felt that warmth once again starting inside him. His lips quivered as he looked away to face the crowd again and there he was, the production staff with a bright smile full of hope.
A face he can see in the crowd of once blankness, and he sees more. More smiles from different people and more hopeful eyes waiting for him to say his speech.

They were not all blank faces. There are those full of pride, hope and happiness while looking at him.

He wasn't alone.
The media crowd started to throw more questions at him as he was taking longer in his silence.

“Are you really the man in the picture with Pro Hero Dynamight?”

“Who really are you to Pro Hero Dynamight?”

They don't relent even just a bit like vultures waiting for a meal.
Deku breaths, lips quivering then opens them. It all starts now.

"I forced -I forced myself to be here." He changes the script, realizing that this isn't just for Kacchan, this is for him and for them.

Kirishima visibly frowns. The media went into havoc.

Deku ignores them all.
"Someone used my feelings of guilt and threatened me so I am here. That person said no one would ever accept our relationship and no one would ever accept me in the society we have now and I believed in him. After the rankings dropped, I really believed in him. I was prepared to
end it all today to make it right but then I saw hopeful smiles of people who are the same as me. They thank me for something I thought was wrong. For inspiring them. They looked like they were saved."
Deku sounded breathless, in awe.

"He is wrong. I know not everyone will accept me, not everyone will accept us but I know I am not alone. We may be small in numbers but we exist. We are here. "

The whole room noise starts to die down until it just murmurs.
"I am Midoriya Izuku." Deku introduces himself once again.

"And I am Bakugou Katsuki's boyfriend."

Everyone went wild.
Kirishima stood up amidst the uproar but he could go far as a hand was on his shoulder and made him sit back down, forcedly.

He looks up on who could it be and sees flaming blazing red compared to his fearful simmering own.
"Sit down." Katsuki said to him through clenched teeth as the shouts of everyone are much louder. Kirishima could not do anything but stay. The hand on his shoulder feels very heavy and almost painful.
Deku stands straight facing everyone head on. He ignores all the questions aimed at him as he had already made his point except for one that catches his attention.
"What about Dynamight's dropping ranks? Will you leave him if he isn't a top hero anymore? Because people are losing interest in him because he is in a relationship with a man." The reporter with his notes in his hands asked him.
There is a gleam in his eyes that looks very much like Kirishima's when he talked to him that night at the restaurant.

This reporter is like Kirishima; a judgemental asshole.
Deku bites his lower lip, contemplating, then opens them to unleash the words he should have told the pro hero that night.
"He is a great hero! Nothing would ever change that, no matter what other people say about him!" He shakes with rage almost enough to make him gather tears at the corner of his eyes.
"People shouldn't be judged by /who/ they love but /how/ they love and I love him with all of my heart!"
Deku starts to cry. The overwhelming emotions set his tears free.
"I will love him whether he is happy, angry, sad, crying, ok or not ok, a hero or not a hero. Whatever it may be. I will always love him and will always be there for him no matter what and that is what matters the most. Gender has nothing to do with what is in my heart!"
Even though his cheeks are wet with tears, he stands strong and proud.

Deku proclaimed his love for Kacchan and he has stopped picking on his thumb.

Everyone is left in silence until someone claps in the crowd. An old reporter with gray hair and thick glasses stands up as he
claps his hand and nods his head. Another person stands up, a young cameraman barely looking 18. He is close to tears.

The production staff, Jirou near the stands, six more people from different media outlets. They all clap, they are all proud of him.
They are few but they are with him.

Deku continues to cry on seeing them. He feels for the first time in his life, proud of himself.
Other reporters seemed to have snapped out to reality. They stood up to be closer to Deku, with their cameras ready and about to ask more questions but they got beaten to it.
Footsteps stomp the floor in the middle of the walkway towards the small stage. Moments later everyone gets the shock of their life when a man removes his mask and hat to reveal pro hero Dynamight; angry, raging as he pulls Deku into his arm, while the other grabs the microphone.
"Listen up you mother fuckers! I don't give a shit what you think of me but if you hurt my Deku then you're all toast!"

“Kacchan!”

He pulls a blushing Deku closer, then grins viciously at everyone who is holding a camera.
"Just watch me you bigots. I'm going to be the number one hero with this guy by my side!"

He declares with the most boastful pose of his chest out, thumb towards him and Deku glued to his cheeks just before kissing the freckled man right after.
Everyone's too stunned to even take a picture including Deku who didn't know if he should faint or die from all of his blood going to his cheeks.

But soon enough he gets pulled away into warm arms he is so familiar with.
Then another pair of arms hugged him before a strong hand touched his shoulder.

"Izuku, my baby. I'm so sorry you had to go through that." It's his mother, Inko, crying.

"You didn't deserve what they said about you and my son.
They have no right when all you two ever did was just love." Uncle Masaru holds his shoulder with a sure solid touch.

"Those were strong words, Izuku. My son is damn lucky to have you by his side. I am so proud of you for standing up for yourself and for him. Thank you."
Aunty Mitsuki hugs him tighter as she ruffles his hair.

"Mom, Auntie Mitsuki, Uncle Masaru?" Deku looks at all three of them, confused because they are supposed to be at different prefectures and especially that he had been ignoring all their calls.
"That's right, Izuku. We are here for you and Katsuki." Said Uncle Masaru, who in the right after envelopes Deku in a hug as well.

Deku welds up until fresh tears fall. Not sad tears, not frustrated or angry tears but tears of pure joy.
He had always thought the people closest to him were only being kind to him and Kacchan's relationship but he should have known that they are his strongest allies. They came all the way here for him. How could he ever have doubted them?
"Thank you… thank you!" Deku hugs them back.

Relief pours all out from him. He said his truth. There will be tough roads ahead but he will be strong. Strong for his family, for Kacchan, for everyone like him who just wants to love and most importantly for himself.

He hurried through the dark alleyway, walking fast in his steps just to get far.

With all the commotion he was able to slip out unnoticed. He should stay low for now and then come back when —
Kirishima goes flying across the small path. Even with his quirk activated, the strong impact made him groan in pain as he tried to get up.

He gets pulled up by the collar by force instead.
"You didn't think I forgot about you now, Kirishima. My best friend."

Katsuki seethes as he has him right by the neck.

TBC.

“Katsuki - umph!” Kirishima gets pushed into the nearest wall hard enough for there to be an indent. His quirk is activated but not to a full degree to warrant no pain.

Katsuki made sure the impact would hurt.
“I’m not as nice as Deku. So don't expect me to brush it off easily with what you did behind my back.” He nearly growls like an animal right at his face, the grip on his neck is tight enough to choke.
“How-How did you know?” Kirishima asked, grimacing at the hold he was on. He was never mentioned by Midoriya during the presscon, so how did Katsuki know?
“I’m not an idiot. I threatened the tabloid company for publishing my picture maliciously without consent to tell me who the source is. Well they couldn't tell the exact source, only the email address that sent it to them. meatburger06291610@ggmail.com.”
Kirishima held his breath which was blown out of him as Katsuki suddenly let him go to fall on the ground.

“It's a stupid email that makes no sense.” Katsuki talks above him and Kirishima tries to stand up.
“Except that it’s your favorite food. Kaminari’s favorite food and his birthday with yours.”

He nearly falls back down again as his legs lose their strength. Kirishima leans on to the dentend wall, looking sickeningly pale.

"I don't know what your talking about-"
Katsuki doesn't let him finish.

"Cut the crap."

The seriousness in his voice was far worse than any vicious counter. There is still anger in the blondes eyes but more than that there was an emotion that Kirishima would never want to see.

Pity.
“No. Don't give that look.” said Kirishima, shaking his head at Katsuki, trying to smile past the scowl that's threatening to show on his face.

Katsuki expression didn't change. It just aggravated Kirishima up.
"Come one Katsuki. You know how gay relationships are viewed by other people." He steps closer to the blond, hands up to make his point.

"You're a hero. People look up to you. I mean that's why you wanted to hide your relationship right? Cuz you know it was going to ruin you."
Katsuki's brow twitched. Kirishima stopped his steps.

"Fuck no. I wanted to shout it out to the world that he is my boyfriend. Deku was the one who didn't want to because he was worried about me. I was never ashamed of him… Of us." Katsuki says deeply with each word.
Unlike Midoriya who would always look away from Kirishima when they talk, Katsuki faces him head on with eyes ablaze with passion and truth.

Kirishima grits his teeth, frustration mounting and anger rising.
"So what if it was me. I did it for you!" Kirishima admits to him loudly with all the breath in his lungs.
"People will judge you! They will look at you differently and doubt if you're really a man for loving another man! They would think that you can't be a hero just cuz you're weak for loving a man! Then laugh at you behind closed doors! I did it for Midoriya because one day you
will like a girl just like a normal guy should and just break his heart in the end!"

Kirishima screams out, panting when he is done.

Katsuki didn't react. He just stares at Kirishima with even more pity. Kirishima feels sick.
"I am not you. What happened to you won't happen to me because I am not you. Deku is nothing like you either."

Kirishima took a step back. A few words were all it took to break him apart.
"I don't really care about what other people say. They aren't the ones who make me thank each day I'm alive. Words are just shit coming out of their mouth. Words won't hurt me but being away from Deku would devastate me. Fuck.
He almost died in my arms, I thought I was going to lose him and you think that some bigot's words would scare me to let him go? Fuck off Kirishima."
It's Katsuki's turn to step forward where Kirishima took steps back.

"I am still Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight inside and out! Loving a man doesn't change that!"

Kirishima’s back hits the wall once again at the sheer might of the declaration.
"I would love to beat the living hell out of you. But if I did, Deku would be so disappointed in me. That's right he would not want for you to get hurt even with all the shit you did to him. That's how good he is. He is quirkless but he is more of a hero than you are!"
Katsuki pointed a finger at Kirishima's chest, right where his heart is. That finger feels like it's piercing through his chest. Katsuki's glare burns, his growls through his teeth.
"I would kill you if I could, that's how angry I am but Deku looks up to me as a hero. So the only thing I can do is to treat you like you are dead. You don't exist to me anymore. The Kirishima Eijirou I know is gone and died."
Kirishima is filled with dread. "Katsuki-"

The ground almost shakes, the wall behind him cracks. Kirishima crumbles to the ground, coughing, with the impact of the punch from the blonde hero.
"That's for hurting my boyfriend. We are done."

Kirishima hears Katsuki walk away, but he can't see him as he grimaces at the pain. His quirk is activated but it is just enough to make sure he didn't have broken bones but not enough for the extreme pain of the hit.
He coughs a few times and sits up to wait for the ache to subside.He leans on the cracked wall and looks up at the dark sky as tears start to fall down his eyes. Not from the pain of the punch or even from the words Katsuki said.
The truth is at that press con he was touched by what Midoriya said and felt jealous. Why could he have had someone like that in the past?

When Kirishima was in grade school, he was teased for not finding any of the girls cute in his class.
/'Are you gay?'/

That sounded like an insult more than a question. He didn't even know what gay was back then. It just sounded like it was something bad.

In middle school he was laughed at for admiring male heroes more than sexy female heroes.

/'That's so gay!'/
His classmates said to him. Again that gay word sounded like such an insult, a terrible thing to be. By then Kirishima already knew what it meant.

It scared him.
When he got into UA, he wanted to change. Be more manly. Be how a man should be. So he wouldn't be teased, not be laughed at and not be called insulting names.

He met Katsuki, who for him is the ultimate image of a man. Powerful, badass, and ruthless. The epitome of manliness.
Kirishima felt proud to be friends with him and vowed to make sure Katsuki be the best of the best to show the world what a true manly hero is like.

Kirishima was happy during those years at UA. He had almost forgotten about the past until he fell in love.
And it ruined him. He fell in love with a man.

Denki is everything the opposite of how he thinks a man should be. Small, clumsy and a scaredy cat yet why did he think that those things about him made him so adorably cute.
The urge to want to protect and keep him was strong but so was his fear and confirmation of what Kirishima is.

The word he feared the most is what he truly is. He is gay. Always had been.
He kept everything inside. Promised to himself to never act on it. So it hurt like fuck when he found out that Denki liked a girl.

Of course he would. All men should like girls. It's normal to like a girl.
Men who like men would never be happy. They get teased, laughed at and in the end broken hearted because they are never chosen.

Kirishima stuck to his belief.
When he found out about Katsuki and Izuku he became jealous of what they had. He didn't really do it from them. He did it out of spite and his own bitterness. He hoped that what happened to him would also happen to Midoriya but the man fought back and faced everything head on.
Unlike him who cowered away in fear.

Now he sits in a cold dark alley, crying. He had lost in love and now he lost his best friend.
How he wished his younger self would have met Midoriya. Maybe if he had met him when he was still in high school or middle school or even grade school, maybe he wouldn't have been the bigoted asshole that he is now.
"I'm sorry… I'm so sorry."

It's far too late now.

Whenever they have misunderstandings or a fight, once they have calmed down, they lie in bed and ask each other questions. It's a tradition of sorts that helps them calm down whatever doubts they have inside their head.
"Are you sure you're happy with someone like me?" Asked Deku to Kacchan.

"You are my happiness, why wouldn't I be?" Replied Kacchan faithfully.

Deku blushes hard.
"My turn. What's this text you sent about breaking up, did you really mean it?" Asked Kacchan to Deku.

"I would rather break all the bones in my body than break up with Kacchan." Replied Deku truthfully.
"Stupid nerd. I ain't breaking up with you unless you give me a thousand reasons why we should break up." Kacchan demands form him, acting tough to hide the redness of his ears.

"Kacchan, that's impossible." Deku tells him, pouting.
"Exactly." Kacchan smirks triumphantly.

"I can't even think of one reason." Deku added with a smile.

Kacchan blushed harder.
It has been a long day where the sun is almost already at the horizon. It took that long for everything to finally settle, for now. Their parents are sleeping at a hotel and they are just about to sleep for the rest of the day. They deserve it after everything.
Kacchan brings Deku close to him, face to face in all seriousness.

"Let's say that there is a cure for homosexuality. Would you take it?" He asked Deku, not grumpy or angry or mad. Just asking and now waiting for the answer.
"Cure? If I took it that would mean I won't like men anymore?"

Kacchan nodded.

"That would mean I would like you anymore right? Then no. I would never want to stop loving you."
Katsuki's breath hitches.

Kirishima is wrong. Loving a man isn't weak. Deku is proof of it; strong enough to rise up from being bullied and forgiving him for it. He battled death and won and was strong enough to face the public and fight for himself. For them.
Katsuki vowed that he will also be proof to the whole world how strong their love makes them.

“I never want to stop loving you too.”

Two years later, on a cold night in spring, Kacchan holds on to Deku's hand as they walk through the busy streets of metropolitan Tokyo when the screen of the huge television on a building lights up in red and blue that catches everyone's attention.
"Breaking News." Said the news anchor that appeared.

"Same sex marriage in Japan is now legalized."

The crowd erupted in cheers but even more when they saw Pro Hero Dynamight kneeling in front of his starstruck emotional boyfriend with a diamond ring in a red velvet box.
"I have been waiting for this since we met each other again." Katsuki offers him the ring. The grin on his face is unmatched.

"Marry me you dumb ass."

So typical of Kacchan to demand and insult instead of asking but Deku wouldn't want it any other way.
"Yes!" His answer comes in a shout with tears of happiness.

Kacchan put the ring on his finger. A perfect fit.

The crowd cheered so strongly for them as they hugged and kissed. It was like a festival. It definitely is a celebration, a victory for all.
In the background a press statement is happening on the screen.

"Marital rights are human rights and aren't we all human? Everyone should have a chance to marry who they love. I was inspired by two people in making
this law and fighting for it to be passed and now it has become a reality. I thank them for being so strong and I also would like to thank the pro heroes for their advocacies for equal rights for the lgbtq+ community,
such as Earphone Jack, Creati and RedRiot. They have helped a lot.”

Lastly, always remember that people shouldn't be judged by /who/ they love but /how/ they love.”
The next day, HeroNews Network announced the engagement of the Number One Hero of Japan, Bakugou Katsuki, to his long time lover, Midoriya Izuku.

The end.

CW: Angst, Drama, just a drabble or idea

Katsuki and Deku had their usual Saturday night dinner date but tonight is something different. He has something to tell Kacchan.

"Kacchan I have something important to tell you." He says seriously.
"But you're wrong about it being all about my ego. I'm not going to run away because of my insecurities anymore. I'm going to do the best I can to be a good alpha and Sire. Even if it means I will beg on my knees for him to take me back.
Ego be damn. I am not leaving Deku and /our/ pup ever again.” Katsuki declared with all his might. He didn't stutter as there were no more doubts in his mind and heart. He will fight for this.
