Midoriya was scared. Terrified. Horrified beyond words. He was pretty sure he was going to die today.

He beat Kacchan twice today during training, and he was pissed about it.

Kirishima told him he'd take Bakugou out for a while to let off some steam and calm down a little, but Midoriya had known Kacchan most of his life. Nothing was going to calm him.

But that wasn't really what scared him. He'd been threatened and beat by Kacchan so often it was almost like any other day. No, what scared him was his plan to possibly avoid the beating. There was no way Recovery girl would help him and he couldn't afford to miss a day of training so-

"I've got a plan" he'd told Uraraka when she asked.

"A plan?" She seemed confused and concerned for him.

"Yeah. When Kacchan comes for me... I'm gonna act like I like it" he told her nervously.

"What?!" She screamed, catching the attention of a few others nearby "that's insane!"

"Shhhh! I know! But I don't know what else to do!"

It was the the door slammed open.

It was time.

"DEKU!" Bakugou shouted as he entered the room. Everyone in the room looked and sent a concerned glance in Izuku's direction "You little shit, you think you're better than me?" He snatched Izuku up by the front of his shirt and pulled him off the couch. It felt like his heart was going to explode, but he went for it anyway and let out a small groan when Bakugou yanked him.

"D-do it again, Kacchan" he stuttered, but it had the desired effect, as Bakugou released him immediately.

"What the fuck? Are you even more of a freak than I thought?"

"Ugh I love when you call me names" His voice still shook, but he was almost tempted to smile at the look on Kacchan's face. He took a step away.

"I'll beat you into next week if you don't shut the fuck up!" Bakugou actually sounded unsure, and...scared?

"...yes please" Izuku hesitated, but still went for it. It was then that Kaminari, who came in the room after hearing Bakugou scream, started laughing hysterically.

"I'm not doing whatever it is that you're doing right now, I'll kick your ass, Deku"

"Hmm spit on me, too" Encouraged by how well his plan was working, and Kaminari's amusement, Izuku pushed it up a level. This made Uraraka snort and even Kirishima was smiling, trying to hold back his laughter.

"Nasty bastard!"

Izuku then did something he never expected you do with Bakugou around... He moaned. Loudly.

It was then that everybody in the room lost it.

Red faced and embarrassed, Bakugou simply stormed out of the room.

If nobody was around to witness it, they'd never believe that actually worked
