So, according to Agent Iida in Army intelligence, the second Spider-Man that appeared a couple of years ago had come from a parallel dimension. How Iida came across that information, Katsuki Bakugou had no clue and at first didn't really care. It didn't matter how, or why, but it pissed him off that someone was cutting into his action! Damn it, in this world He was Spider-Man!

No one in their school knew that, for obvious reasons. But Katsuki was no idiot and he was going to get to the bottom of it! Unmask this real imposter and stop him from messing up his gig!

Based on all the intelligence Katsuki could gather, the other Spider-Man seemed to be around his age, was just as powerful, but had a quieter, almost selfless nature about him. Very different from his feistier, brazen style. Ugh! It was ruining his reputation when people got them mixed up!

"Kaachan!" Izuku Midoriya waves at Katsuki from down the hall. "Are you heading for your next class?" He beams at his friend, "can I walk with ya?"

Katsuki sneers, he hated it, and secretly loved it, when his fellow dormer called attention to their friendship. Midoriya was the eternal optimist to his angry pessimism and yet he couldn't help the broiling affection growing between them.

"Whatever nerd," Katsuki never stops walking and Midoriya just fall in beside him. He grits his teeth, "But could you quit it with the Kaachan business! I've told you don't call me that in public!"

"Sorry Kac.. Bakugou." Midoriya fidgets with his backpack, a slight blush sweeping his cheeks, "So um, what's your plans for tonight?"

"Gonna check out the new gym with Kirishima."

"Oh, okay." Seeing that it's time to part ways, "I'll see you at the dorms later then." Midoriya flashes a smile and heads down a different hallway.

Bakugou watches his friend jog off before turning into his classroom shaking his head. Second year of college was in full swing, but by the time this semester had begun, his growing suspicions of Midoriya had become almost a certainty. At the same time, he wasn't sure what to do about it.

For two friggen years he'd wanted to know who the hell the other Spider-Man was only to realize it might be the guy he was crushing on. Bakugou didn't know who he'd pissed off in another lifetime to gain this ironical situation, but if he ever got the chance, he was gonna kill them!

That night he and his buddy Eijiro Kirishima were just leaving the new gym and Katsuki wasn't paying attention to anything around him. Usually his senses should have caught wind of Midoriya's scent but maybe the sweat of their workout was overriding it. It was Kirishima who stopped dead in his tracks first, all wide eyed.

"Spider-Man!" Kirishima points up.

Bakugou follows the invisible trail of his friend's finger to see Spider-Man swinging over to the bridge they were passing under. Now was his chance to unmask his rival! Unrequited feelings or not, darn it, he'd waited two years for this opportunity!

He didn't need to give chase for in the next few seconds, Spider-Man had dropped down to where the two men were standing. Kirishima was absolutely floored to be up close to Thee Spider-Man, whereas Katsuki was fuming. But before he could say or do anything, Spider-Man pulls up his mask and kisses him on the lips!

"Whoa!" Kirishima squeals.

Spider-Man quickly ascends his line and swings away leaving a beet-red Katsuki gawking on the street.

"Dude you just got kissed by Spider-Man!"

"Shut it Eijiro!" Katsuki storms away back to their dorms.

Katsuki needed to process what just happened. Was it really Midoriya like he'd suspected? Did his crush just kiss him first?! It had been faint, and the scent had disappeared quickly but yes, he was certain…

The next morning Katsuki finds Midoriya heading towards the cafeteria for breakfast. Without a word he falls in beside his friend and grabs the man's hand as nonchalantly as possible, intertwining their fingers.

When Midorya looks over at his friend in surprise only to see a blushing Katsuki, he puts two and two together…
