'Fucking Deku.
Of course it'd be him.
How could it be anyone else besides the sole person I'd been trying to ignore for the last…
Well, who knows how god damn long it's been!'
Time worked slowly for Katsuki as he scanned down the lines looking to see what dumbass he'd been paired with. There were very few people that he felt comfortable enough to want to spar all out together, and if he were to learn anything from this fucking project, it certainly needed to be one of those select few. All Might had said the partners were chosen based upon comparable skill level, hopefully that means-
Katsuki's eyes narrowed to slits focusing on his name.
Midoriya, Izuku and Bakugou, Katsuki
'You've got to be fucking kidding me,' the bomber thought to himself before screaming out enraged.
"I WOULD'VE TAKEN LITERATELY ANYONE OVER FUCKING DEKU!"
The room became hushed for a moment, not surprised by Katsuki's outburst, but merely out of curiosity if his explosion would continue. As many of the students stared on, focusing in on the petrified, embarrassed Midoriya to see if he would retort. However, the tomato-red hero was avoiding the eyes of the bomber, who looked as though he wanted to murder All Might.
Quickly gathering his shit, Katsuki stared down Deku as he stalked towards his desk.
"If you're only staying for fifteen minutes, and I'm stuck with this god damned nerd, then I'm leaving now with him." Katsuki's voice eerily announced his plans to the teacher and class. "Pack," the bomber rasped out to Deku. Staring down at the childhood… friend who had been the bane of his existence for many years now.
Squeaking out a mere "okay," Midoriya hastily shoved his things in their place and threw his pack over his shoulder before turning towards Bakugou. Still avoiding his eyes, the smaller hero whispered out a "ready", before immediately being grabbed by Katsuki and manhandled towards the door.
"Okay, we're out of here. To spar or fucking brainstorm or some shit."
The furious bomber dragged his partner out of class, all the while cursing about his horrible luck for getting paired with Deku. After dragging him from corridor through corridor and up two flights of stairs, Katsuki finally ushered the hero nerd onto the roof. Tossing his bag on the ground, his anger finally burst forth full blast. Anxious explosions surged from his hands as he tried to calm his emotions.
"K-Kacchan… M-Maybe All Might w-will make an exception for us…?" Deku's timid voice, merely enraged Katsuki further, his explosions becoming more frequent until finally stopping completely.
"Deku, you fucking nerd. Pay attention in class. This is permanent. Fucking final, remember? We're stuck together, you shithead." Breathing out a frustrated sign, Katsuki continued on. "We will learn to work together, and I will try to not fucking kill you. Just don't do anything stupid, Deku."
A look of shock passed the smaller hero trainee's face as he realized Katsuki wasn't going to pummel him into the ground, but the bomber was not phased in the slightest. Of course the fucking nerd would be phased by his want to cooperate with this dumb- no. smart, project. His partner was dumb.
"I want to be a hero shithead. You're gunning for the same route, and actually, kind of have a powerful quirk… granted it fucking destroys you if you use it though. If you get past that, and we have to work together in the future, it's not gonna help my fucking luck if I can't god damn work with you because of my anger."
Katsuki sneered his speech out to Deku, speaking down to him as he always had. However, he kept close watch on his partner's reaction, confirming deep found fears that the nerd was in fact shit terrified of him still. Breathing out steam and trying to relax at least an inch, Katsuki spat out his next words too.
"So? Are you gonna fucking say anything you god damned nerd? Or should I just go home today?"
Midoriya's mouth gaped open as he nervously worked his brain to bite out some retort, but it seemed he was completely unable. Fucking perfect. Of course he'd get a partner who'd be too shit terrified to work with him, and on top of that Deku was permanent until the end of the year. Two workdays a week, with 38 weeks of school left.
"Fine. I'm leaving today, but there's at most 76 days left to work on this project during class alone. Get your shit together so we can come out with the best fucking improvements Deku. I'm aiming for the top, and I'm going to fucking be there every step of the god damn way. Do not bring me down, Deku."
Spitting out the last of his words, Katsuki leaned down to grab his shit, and head for the door.
"Ka-Kacchan! Wait!"
Narrowing his eyes at his small partner in front of him, he balked.
"I can f-fight with you Kacchan. We've already proven that during All Might's first lesson… I'm just nervous about being partners for a year with you. You can't typically be in a 5-foot radius with me alone without wanting to kill me, so how're we supposed to work together for the entire school year…"
His nerd was timid as he spoke, but it was the first time he'd been able to hold eye contact with Katsuki since his first outburst after finding out they were assigned to be partners. Breathing a sigh of relief at the idiot's ability to adjust to his anger quickly, he dropped his shit and dropped to the floor. Leaning back with his legs crossed, the bomber stared at the sky above him.
"You know, I don't always want to fucking kill you. Just when you're being stupid, ya know. If you quit, I dunno… Doing stupid shit, maybe I wouldn't want to beat you up all the time." Katsuki couldn't read his reactions, and for once didn't really want to see what Midoriya was thinking, so he continued.
"I don't know what you have in mind, but your biggest achievement would be controlling your power and not destroying a limb every time you fuckin use it. Personally, for myself, I decided something that would give me more mobility during fights to increase my speed… or possibly dabble in long range attacks. All Might's given us plenty of god damn time to perfect and try out multiple options as long as we don't fuckin procrastinate."
Not being able to keep his eyes off Deku, he looked over at his partner to see if there was any reaction or want to add a comment in. But the dumbass obviously didn't because he immediately began avoiding Katsuki's eyes again.
"We'll meet every. Single. Workday, buttmunch… and we're working the full three hours alone, here or we'll reserve time at the practice fields for battle. Do not tell your fucking friends where we are cause I don't want them tagging along."
Finally finished saying his piece, Katsuki waited in silence for Deku to say something. They technically had another two and a half hours of class, and All Might should be gone from the class already.
"I agree, Kacchan. I need to control my quirk more. To be honest, I'm not used to it, and I haven't figured out what mental image will prevent me from using it at full power… You're right about your quirk as well… What do you want to start on?"
Humming to himself, while he thought on the situation, he couldn't help but feel Deku was more important in this situation.
"Until you can fight me while using your god damn quirk, we can't focus on me. I'll give you five of our days to just focus on your ability and not destroying yourself. If you can't fuckin do it, then we're meeting outside of class too. I can't suffer just because you're too stupid to figure out your own fucking quirk."
Midoriya finally looked up at Katsuki again, mouth agape, but the first happy face the bomber had seen on Deku in years.
"Ok! Let's start today Kacchan!"
AN: SO YEAH! I'm slowly going to make the chapters longer and longer until I get to a length I like? Right now, I feel like they're too short, but I don't have the ability to write something longer at the moment .-. (heavily needs to increase English skills)
I really like this fucking couple tho, so I'll probably be updating pretty frequently because it makes me happy to write about their gayness.
On another note, this story is kind of AU, but also, very obviously not. I feel like BnHA goes way too fast on the villains acting, so I'm gonna slowly pepper actual arcs from the show in, but with my hella gay twists. So don't expect the plot to match up exactly, but I will mention and incorporate the arcs eventually. (this will be a super long fic most likely. I like long/chaptered stories c:)
Also, I did rate this "M", but that's gonna be a long time coming, mainly because I want it to be more realistic?
Anyways, hope you enjoyed~
