"Above all"

.

.

The static chrysalis that evoked moments that for the explosive boy meant an unmatched verisimilitude, a stage that he only ventured to experience and from which, he didn't intend to escape from the trance.

Beyond everything, it made him feel full to have Deku on his side.

It was not a utopia, or a false reality, or a bad move on his mind. That was reality, the one and only matchless reality he lived in now, in the present, in the here and now.

Beyond everything, he was happy with that reality.


"Oi! Deku!" He called his boyfriend, who was in company with All Might in the hallway, secretly talking to each other. The situation was far-fetched, since he didn't expect to find him with the attentive gesture and his hand under his chin, nodding at every word his mentor said.

Hearing him speak, Deku stopped his attentive gesture and leaned over to see him.

"Kacchan" He spoke with a sigh.

"Ah! Young Bakugou" All Might greeted him smiling.

He got to where they were, standing beside his boyfriend in protective instinct, wrapping his arm around his shoulder.

All Might opened his eyes in interest, his mouth slightly open.

"I understand what you mean, Young Midoriya" He commented, enjoying watching them.

Deku blushed, shrugging.

"What were you talking about?" He demanded, raising an eyebrow in defiance.

"OFA issues" All Might secreted in great complicity, straightening to his address.

Bakugou turned his gaze to Deku, who nodded, still wearing his thoughtful demeanor despite his red face and a nervous giggle coming out of his mouth.

However, the good thing for Bakugou was that only he of all Deku's friends knew the origin of his Quirk and how and who obtained it.

"New news?" He inquired interested.

"Well" All Might gave a heroic laugh. "It's a matter between young Midoriya and me"

He didn't like that detail, but rather disliked it.

Why exclude him from the things that involved his partner? Of Deku? If they were together now.

"Before you say anything" All Might broke in calmly. "It has to do with young Midoriya's knowledge regarding the OFA, it's just that." He waved his hand in the air. "So you don't misunderstand the situation"

"I didn't misunderstood the situation!" He shocked offended, drawing Deku's body a little more to his.

"That's exactly what I meant, young Midoriya," All Might reacted, telling her boyfriend with reason. Bakugou saw her boyfriend's eyes widen from his orbs and furrowed his eyebrows, staring at his mentor.

"All Might," he articulated impressed. "I get it"

"What the hell do they say?" He chimed in, snorting and flapping his nose. They dared to exclude him from the subject? "If there's something you want to say, spit it out!"

"There is nothing to say, young Bakugou," All Might reiterated nonchalantly. "There are things that only young Midoriya and I should keep confidential"

"Em, but" Deku tried to say, but stopped, pursing his lips.

"Don't involve young Bakugou in this" His mentor warned, watching him with great intensity, causing a chill in his boyfriend, who leaned next to him.

What exactly was going on between them?

"No more" Said his mentor, turning away. "I retire"

"See you later, All Might" Deku said goodbye with his hand in the air at shoulder height, immediately lowering himself to the side.

When he had completely withdrawn from the hallway, Bakugou turned to see his partner, penetrating.

"Can you tell, what was that?" He reproached harshly, fixing his hands on Deku's shoulders in gravity, feeling him shiver with fright.

"I-I can't explain" Deku mused in a shaky voice, infuriating him even more.

"Deku!" He scolded, forcing him to the wall. "Explain it to me!"

"N-no"

"I am your boyfriend!" He said authoritatively, pressing his hands on Deku's shoulders, who gave a yelp, bringing both hands to his chest, oppressed. "Don't hide things from me"

"But All Might said"

"I don't give a damn what All Might said!" He interrupted, losing patience quickly. "What am I with you for if you can't tell me what's going on? Hah? "He screamed hotly, causing a cry of fear from his boyfriend, who pulled back, looking at him with his lower lip trembling.

"Al-alright" He agreed unsure.

Bakugou then stopped putting pressure on Deku's shoulders, who immediately sighed in relief as he was released.

"D-don't scare me, Kacchan," he said shaking from head to toe, losing his footing, falling down sitting on the edge of the wall, covering his face with both hands. "Please"

An aberrant feeling of regret washed over him like alarms going on in his brain. He leaned in front of him, putting a hand on her head, rubbing his hair.

"Will you tell me what happened?"

Deku nodded slowly, even with his hands covering his face.

"I won't hurt you, Deku." He placed his hands on his, slowly peeling them from his face, until he saw traces of tears spilling painfully from his eyes.

"I understand" He said, throwing himself directly into his arms, landing in perfect shape. He caught him, holding him with his best strength.

"Don't cry, Deku" He asked frustrated.

He heard him, calm his labored breathing, settling his head on his chest, placing his hands on his forearms.

"Hm" He agreed.

"Do you think if we go to your room and talk?" He suggested, watching him nod at his request. "Are you going to walk or do you want me to carry you?" He joked, shaking off him a little.

"Ah yes" He sniffed, half opening his eyes in tender air. Unable of all rational thought, Bakugou took Deku in his arms and carried him to his room, feeling him shudder and stammer in disbelief.

"K-Kacchan!" He was yelling in shock. "What are you doing?"

"Let's go to your room" He said presumptuously.

"Eh!" He squealed in surprise. "K-Kacchnan?!"

He was very amused to hear him that way, because it was very funny to feel that he was moving and he tensed with the great surprise that seized the poor nerd.

"Easy." He laughed capriciously. "I won't do anything to you, stupid Deku!"

"Th-this is new" He whispered shakily, hiding his head on his neck, wrapping his arms around his neck.

"It's the same for me" He agreed, blushing as the seconds passed. "Don't think that you are always the only one who does these things, idiot." He walked through the corridors, even though the looks of his companions were astonished, and some dared to question them for what they were doing, but those questions only they made his blood boil for being so reckless. "Shut up!" He yelled angrily, rolling his eyes.

Deku clutched his head to his neck, exerting more force on his grip around his neck, emanating a degree of heat.

"Kacchan," His embarrassed voice implied that he didn't want to witness that scene.

Bakugou advanced faster, fleeing from the others who asked impertinent questions.

"Bakugou, carrying your princess?" Kaminari scoffed with that stupid laugh he hated when he witnessed it.

Did that idiot call his boyfriend princess?

A vein gushed from his temple, throbbing.

"You need a crown, Midoriya" Kaminari laughed out loud.

He heard Deku stutter dejectedly, snuggling up to his neck.

"You say that to Deku again." Bakugou turned to give him a murderous look. "And I'll kill you!"

Kaminari froze, his mocking features startled.

"Easy, Bakugou" He tried to appease him, shaking both hands in defense.

"You tell me to calm down, eh idiot?" He said superior, hugging Deku tighter.

"K-Kacchan…"

"Don't worry, Deku" He whispered in his ear, refusing to let go, as he tried to pull away from his grip, but he reacted quickly and imprisoned him with his arms. "Let me handle this."

"But" He stuttered nervously.

"This idiot is nothing to me" He bragged heroically.

"Protecting your princess?" Sero appeared, mocking behind Kaminari.

It was the last straw!

"Oh, Midoriya so cute" The two sang, after Kaminari recovered from the scare he received from his gaze.

The vein in his temple throbbed with intensity, increasing his power.

"Shut up, you idiot couple!" He snorted, his eyes blank, his brow furrowed on his face.

"Don't tell me" Kaminari feigned surprise. "Isn't Midoriya your boyfriend?"

"Does he belong to Todoroki?" Sero suspected with his hand over his mouth.

For those extremes Bakugou's face was red with rage; burning, throbbing rage. Insatiable rage, penetrating his insides like bubbling bubbles emerging in his stomach.

He exerted more pressure hugging Deku, and with a wild kick he sent them flying to the ground with his power.

He inhaled heavily before releasing:

"Deku is mine!" He defended possessively. "So don't tag him with someone else, especially that half-and-half bastard!"

They burst out laughing.

"Oh yeah" The pair of idiots laughed.

"Stop it guys" Kirishima chimed in, stepping in between Sero and Kaminari.

At least someone with common sense, Bakugou thought, rolling his eyes in disdain.

Did he look ridiculous having his boyfriend hugging his body?

"What happens between Bakugou and Midoriya is their business" Kirishima explained, winking at him knowingly. Bakugou nodded at the gesture.

"But, Bakugou looks funny with Midoriya hanging on him!" Sero commented with a stupid laugh, followed by Kaminari.

"They are a couple of turtles!" They both said with a laugh.

Kirishima approached him, telling him nearby.

"You better go, I'll take care of these two" He assured.

"I can explode them in seconds" Bakugou boasted, even with the vein throbbing in his temple.

"Kacchan… no…" Deku hugged him, holding on to him.

Another of his feats that melted his heart and shook his body completely. Between arguing with his friends and having Deku with him, Bakugou preferred to have Deku. Still, Deku owed him an explanation of his secrecy with All Might; As for his friends, he would blow them to pieces later.

"I'll kill them later" He notified his friend.

"Sure" Kirishima agreed.

And so, Bakugou managed to pull Deku away without letting him go for a second, feeling him curl his head gently over his neck, the soft breath of his breath warming his skin, his hands positioning on top of his skin, being so soft.

"Thanks, Kacchan." He sighed over his ear.

"What are you thanking me for?" He winced, rubbing his back, feeling him tremble in his grip.j

"For not fighting" He said cheerfully, giving him a kiss on the cheek, and then snuggled back against his neck. A blush appeared on his cheeks, and his temperature rose.

"We had something to talk about" He said. "Don't think I forgot about that"

Deku nodded.


Being in Deku's room, he sat in front of him, eagerly waiting for what he would say, but as expected, Deku would not be the first to speak, so he was forced to start.

"Deku" He said in the best tone he could do. "What was it you were talking to All Might?"

Deku fiddled with his intertwined fingers, guessing with his eyes.

"Well" He frowned. "I don't know how to say it"

"The way things are, Deku" He scolded him, frowning. "Spit it out"

He swallowed hard, shaking his head for encouragement.

"All Might knows about us" He confessed nervously.

"So?" He didn't think that was a great thing; I mean, he didn't care who knew about his relationship with Deku.

"D-doesn't it bother you?" Deku blinked in amazement.

"Why should it bother me?" He asked mockingly, folding his arms. "That people know you are my boyfriend is irrelevant to me"

"I understand" He outlined in resignation.

"And what about your power?" He wanted to know, not forgetting that All Might also mentioned something about the OFA and if it was something about the OFA, it would make a lot of sense with the increased power of Deku.

At this Deku bit his lower lip, clasping his hands to his chest.

"He said that" He swallowed hard. "It was dangerous for you to know my secret"

"What do you mean by that?" His brows furrowed. An alarming sensation rattled his head.

"No one should know how I got my power" He explained fearfully. "You knew because I was careless, I was pretty obvious with you, Kacchan, and All Might considers it dangerous for you to know the secret of One For All"

"I must know" He said altered, leaving his arms at his sides. "You are my"

"But, as you know" He said, lowered. "All Might considers that I should change schools"

Change schools? Bakugou was immediately enraged.

"You will not go, Deku" He ordered, pointing to it.

"But, Kacchan" He said quickly. "The secret of One For All shouldn't be known by anyone from my acquaintances, not even my mom can know it, if she does, her life will be in danger"

"Didn't you hear me?" He argued boiling inside.

"I don't want your life to be in danger" He exteriorized in anguish. "You are everything to me, Kacchan, if something happens to you, I…" He stopped.

"Listen!" He yelled, feeling left out. "I don't intend to part with you at any time"

"But, Kacchan"

"I don't give a damn what All Might says!" He shut him up with his scream. "Weren't you the idiot who said that if we were together the place didn't matter?!" He recalled. "And it wasn't you who said I'm everything to you, either?"

"K-Kacchan"

"Don't decide everything on your own!" He argued, buzzing. "If you dare do it on your own, then what the hell are you with me for? Eh, Deku?"

"I'm sorry"

"We're in this together" He said plaintiff. "If you doubt that, then screw One For All"

"W-what?" He exhaled wordlessly.

"For me, everyone can go to hell!" He moved his right arm to the opposite side. "The only thing that matters to me is you, stupid Deku! I only care about you, how many times do I have to tell you so that it stays in that nerdy brain you have?"

"B-but"

Bakugou started to hug his neck as tightly as he could, Deku realized his action, returning the hug immediately, wrapping his arms around his waist.

"I'll go wherever you go." He closed his eyes with a frown embedded in his eyebrows. "The things All Might says he does because you are his successor, but remember that you also have a voice, Deku, you are the one who makes the decision of what you will do"

"Y-yes," he replied back.

"Besides, what are boyfriends for?" He rested his chin on his boyfriend's green hair. "I don't live without you, stupid Deku, let me make that very clear to you"

Deku hugged him tighter, nodding.

"I-I don't either." He sighed with a light, moved sob.

"I love you" He muttered dominant, kissing his forehead. "I love you very much"

"Me too, Kacchan." He separated his face from his chest, smiling at him tenderly.

"I don't live without you, you idiot" He stressed, softening his gaze.

"I don't want anything bad to happen to you, Kacchan" He mentioned worriedly, bringing his face closer to his. They were within inches of being able to touch their lips.

"I can take care of myself." He gave him a quick kiss on the lips, hugging him whole.

"B-but" He hesitated.

"I can take care of myself perfectly well, Deku" He faced, saying it in his ear. "Worry more about yourself than about me"

"It's impossible"

"Stupid nerd." Despite being an insult, his voice had no intention of being one.

"It's impossible" He repeated, looking him straight in the eye. "Because I love you." Those damn green eyes that completely absorbed him. They fanned him and filled his soul.

"Deku"

"Because I always think of you" He interrupted. "And I'll protect you with everything I have"

"Don't play the hero"

"I love you, Kacchan" He said forcefully, emphasizing those three words with such a crash that his eyes dazzled.

"Deku" He breathed out concerned for his sake.

"I love you, Kacchan" He repeated intensely, bringing their foreheads together.

"Damn Deku" He sighed, completely surrendered before Deku's charms. "I love you, too." He reached out to kiss him, joining his lips in a slow, affectionate dance, breathing the same breath, holding each other fully until his arms got tired of holding each other. "I love you" Bakugou said between kisses. "I love you, Deku"

He never believed that he would love a person as much as he did with Deku.

And beyond everything, beyond his thoughts, there was the assurance in his mind that they would stay together forever.

Beyond everything tangible he would love him.

"Never leave me, Deku" He muttered amid the tender kisses they shared, missing out on all the heinous thoughts Bakugou had recently had. "Never leave my side" He said breathlessly, wrapping himself in the tenderness of Deku's lips.
