The #1 Pro Hero Katsuki Bakugou tried to avoid the so-called Instagram video. Even after all of his friends had been bothering him, even after multiple news sites were investigating the source, even when he heard the girl in the video made her account and location private, even then he wouldn't watch the video. Still he ended up seeing it. It was the night after an explosive fight with the LoV and there were quite some casualties, he never felt guilty, but tonight he wished he was stronger. He felt like a failure of a #1 pro here. "She's definitely a fangirl of his, look at her eyes there's fire in them." He had heard Kirishima showing the video to Kaminari. He could really use a fan. He needed a way to boost his ego. So he opened his official Instagram account which his assistant managed by the way. The video was sent to him multiple times with no real ties to your actual account and when he pressed on the video he didn't know what to expect. That's why he was so surprised by what he saw. He saw a tall girl. She was wearing a skimpy version of his hero suit. The colors and print matched perfectly. They were tight sleeping shorts and a cropped tank top. He didn't want to look at your body, but for a second he did. He saw your curves, the pouch of your belly where the shorts had twisted. The shoulder length curls framing your face like a crown. It looked so hot. But what looked even hotter was the actual smoke leaving your palms and the way your eyes looked filled with rage. "I can't stand all these EXTRAS, just DIE!" You screamed into the camera before shooting all your explosives against the camera. The screen turned black and that was it. You could manipulate explosions. You could make it blast. You weren't Japanese. He could hear that from the way you said his highschool catchphrase, but you sounded so cute saying it. He wanted to find you.
So he did. It took awhile to find you, he had to search for the actual account without being to obvious, but as the #1 pro hero it wasn't hard to get information. He found out a few things about you:
1) Your name was: y/n
2) You lived in a small town in y/c
3) You were y/o years old
4) The video was made in October.
He watched the video more often than he wanted to. He became obsessed. He even screenshotted parts to have actual pictures of you in that outfit. He even dreamt of having you stand by his side. That fierce explosive girl. So when the day came he could finally meet you he was ready. He took a private plane to your city and it was early morning in February when he knocked at the door. It took longer than he expected. All of the sudden the door opened and there you were. You weren't the girl from the video. Yeah you kinda looked like her. Same eyes, same skin color, but that was about it. You were still in your pajamas, wearing a bonnet to cover your gorgeous hair and the sleep in your eyes was still visible. He had woken you up. When you realized that the man standing before you was in fact Katsuki Bakugou, #1 pro hero from Japan, you let out a small "Goddammit I don't speak Japanese. Oh wait sorry mr Bakugo, I err... didn't mean to curse." Katsuki laughed at that. He liked that he made you nervous. "Can I come in, y/n?" He asked. "Wait you know my name? Of course come in, you like coffee or tea? Let me just change real quick." Katsuki sat at the kitchen bar. You changing took longer than he had expected, but you were obviously making up for the first impression by taking a quick shower. When you finally returned for his coffee. You looked more refreshed, but still not like the angry girl from the video.
Katsuki shrugged:'' I'm here because of your video. I liked it. I like your quirk and that you're like me..." he didn't mean to say all that, but he still did. You looked uncomfortable. Started looking at your feet before responding:'' Sir I'm not like you. I don't have a quirk. I was just showing respect to one of my idols." Your cheeks started the blush. Katsuki's voice got louder now:'' BUT why did you dress up like me and use fire then?!" His screaming startles you for a second, but you weren't scared. It was visible that Bakugo was intrigued by you. "It was halloween sir, i made the costume myself and photoshopped the fire in the video. I'd also watched a lot of your old videos to know what to say. I wish I was more like you from time to time, because I tend to be a people's pleasure and they always end up using me. Seemed fun to be the badass at least once this year." He couldn't really be mad at her for that. "Why the skimpy rip off of my hero suit though?" She let out a small giggle. "It was halloween dummy and it was the first time I had the guts wearing something showing my rolls like that it felt good I guess." He really didn't mind her calling him dumbass, but still he couldn't go all soft on her. "Don't call me that dumbass, it sure looked good to see you like that, so could you show me the photoshop part?" He asked. And so you ended up showing all the work it took to get that exact effect. He watched all the video's you'd taken, the bloopers, the ugly ones where you were laughing so hard that your whole "DIE '' sounded as an empty threat. He enjoyed seeing you so carefree more than seeing you so mad. He didn't want to admit it, but he enjoyed his time with you. "Why don't you put on that outfit again? Maybe we can take our own video?" Why did that sound soooo sexual, did he wanted it to be?" You looked at him with a serious expression. "I think I'm good, it was a halloween outfit and I am more than that girl in a skimpy hero outfit for halloween." He wanted to respond but she shushed him down. "I am very flattered that you of all people came all the way to see me, but I'm more than a body and you haven't seen the hate I have gotten from the world for just trying to have some fun as a fuller girl, I don't need you petty neither your desire for my body. I just wanted to honor my favorite hero. That's it. So thanks for your visit." Katsuki didn't understand what was going on. He couldn't deny seeing you in that outfit being a fan turned him on. But hearing the truth behind your words did sting. ''Wait, can I just stay? I didn't mean it like that. I came all the way here because yes you looked so good with that outfit, but you also reminded me of myself and I liked that.'' Y/n let out a frustrated sight. ''Oh yeah because of that quirk right? well I'm quirkless so we're basically nothing a like.'' This made Katsuki feel bad for you. He came closer to grab your hand, but you had already yanked it loose. ''UGH dude. I cosplayed you for Halloween, bc you seemed badass, but don't mistake that for me wanting a quirk. out here in the actual world. where being a hero isn't the main priority people have actual jobs, we're not in constant danger and it's not our mission to risk our life everyday for the sake of others. my life is fine as it is and I don't appreciate you pittying me for not being a stupid hero.'' Katsuki didn't really register the words that spilled off your lips, he did see how angry you looked, the fire in your eyes, the same face you made when you imitated him in that video of yours. Still hearing his life mission being called stupid triggered him. ''So just because you can't be me you call my job stupid. dumb quirkless bratt, should've never visited your ass. trying to do some fans service and look how ungrateful you are.'' Now it was her time to get even more pissed. She knew he was an asshole, but he really wasn't any hero material. ''SO MR. PRO HERO NUMBER F*CKING 1. ONLY HAD ONE GOAL IN HIS LIFE, REACHED HIS GOAL AT THE AGE OF 25. WHAT NOW? THAT'S IT? PRETTY BORING IF YOU ASK ME. YOU'RE RUDE, ARROGANT AND YOU EXPECT ME TO GO ALL BEGGING IN MY TEENY TINY SHORTS JUST TO RUB YOUR F*CKING EGO. YOU'RE NOT THAT SPECIAL.'' This time all Katsuki felt was rage. how dare this little bitch say shit like this, while he had worked his whole life to achieve his dream. Before he knew it his hands were filled with heat. It was too late he couldn't take it back he was about to kill her or atleast permanently injure her. She was standing right infront of him. the fear spreading on her face. She lifted her hands to ward off his blasts, but they had already started. She closed her eyes to prepare. Katsuki knew he had made a mistake, everything happened in slow motion, but instead of the powerful feeling he normally got from his blasts he ended up soaking wet. When he focussed his gaze he saw you still with your eyes closed. hands in the same position and the last drop of what had to be a water related quirk. He had activated your quirk. He had made you so scared that your body needed a last defense method. when your eyes opened you realized what happened. you didn't know what to say, you were angry, you were scared and most of all you were shocked. so you did what you were best at. you ran away.
Katsuki didn't know what to do so he just left.
-three months later-
You never threw him under the bus. even months after if you were asked about that fatal scene that got you to awaken your quirk you just blamed it on a wild animal. you did however start a research to see if risks allowed quirks to develop more suddenly. So instead of seeing your Halloween vid on his instagram page, he saw you being a part-time hero in your hometown. Yes, part-time. you had laughed when the interviewer had asked you why you were so focussed on the part-time part. ''Well thanks for asking. You know what when I found out that I had this so-called quirk, I wasn't that happy to be honest. I had survived without it for 23 years. so I wanted to still be me outside of being a hero. I have a normal job outside of this, I don't want to receive money for being a decent human being and I think relying too much on those quirks causes a lot of damage. I'm not even calling myself a hero, helping people is the bare minimum it's human decency, not a big corporate way to boost your own ego.'' The interviewer definitely did not expect that answer. wanting to cause drama the interviewer tried to stir the pot. '' So Y/N this isn't the first time we see you in action as a hero. last Halloween we saw you in this video, paying tribute to #1 hero Dynamight in what might've been the most interesting way to present yourself as a starting hero, do you have any regrets about that video?'' You smiled a gorgeous smile at the interviewer, but you're words were poison: '' The fact that an interview about me wanting to raise awareness to actual problems, is actually a means to an end to have me talk about my stomach and buttcheeks showing in a cosplay tells me more than I need to know. It's either the men that sexualize us and our costumes and whenever we try to empower ourselves by looking good, it's always seen as something to please men. I won't say anything more,except that I hope that everyone that feels the need to have a quirk to be a hero can stop. you can be a hero without a quirk. I've been a hero long before there was freaking water shooting out of my hands and I will remain one even when I'm doing my regular work.''
The interviewer tried to apologize, but you were already gone. The months after the incident Katsuki had worked even harder than normal, he tried to avoid thinking about your words, about wanting more than being a hero, but hearing you say those words again on international television made it difficult. you were right. and his dumbass was still very much sorry for what he had he needed to go back to sleep he had a long day tomorrow. there was a secret meeting planned by the #2 hero Mr Brat himself: Deku and it had to do with all the slander hero's had been getting lately. The League of Villains might have disappeared from the radar, but still their message had set root. And wasn't it exactly what y/n had been saying being a hero shouldn't be about making money or being a corporate way of boosting your ego.
So the next day just before the meeting started he heard some talking and decided to just listen. ''Thanks for inviting me Deku. I know that we don't agree on everything, but you definitely are a respective hero and I can't really say anything bad about you.'' ''Y/N you can call me Izuku. It's an absolute pleasure to meet you and I would be lying if I said that I don't see a lot of truth in your views, that's why I invited you to this meeting. please don't be nervous not everyone will agree with what you have to say, but I support you and I think you will be a big reason why everything will be alright in the end.'' He heard you giggle. ''Don't worry Izuku, a bunch of heroes won't scare me.'' Now the two of you were laughing like you were old acquaintances. He hadn't noticed that the room was already half full by now and he was one of the last to come in. He met your gaze, but saw that you weren't surprised to see him at all. After sitting down Deku started the meeting. ''Well you guys are well aware why we're all here, even when we're not part of the same agency we have a common thread and that is the fear the LoV has planted inside of people's minds. People feel neglected by us, feel looked down upon and as someone who used to be quirkless I can understand how they feel. I've brought a special guest from overseas, you might not agree with what she has to say, but she understands our citizens, the one we're trying to protect so even if you don't agree with her, you will answer with respect or you will answer to me.'' As you got up out of your chair. Kirishima proceeded to whisper ''Ain't that that Cosplay girl?'' but he was hushed by a number of annoyed stares. You took a deep breath and just started talking.
''So you guys may wonder why I'm here. Why is there a random 20 something year old girl from overseas telling you about right or wrong. don't worry I wouldn't take me seriously too if I were you. My name is y/n and no I don't have a hero name neither will I get one. Before I'm a 'hero' I'm me first. I want you all to think back to the reason you became a hero. Did you become one because your quirk fit the scene, because your friends or idols were heroes, did you become one for the money or because it's literally the thing this society is built on? If you hadn't had a quirk would you still become a hero? I know only one person here that would be a hero even without a quirk.'' She locked eyes with Deku for a moment. ''I'm just going to paint a picture about how things look overseas and maybe, maybe you guys will understand how things feel for your citizens. I grew up without a quirk. I worked hard for my money, by getting an education and finding a job and I've always valued others above myself. I took first aid classes and I would do charity work still something that's close to my heart today, but I never called myself a hero. I didn't need the name, because why would I be idolized if I did something I loved, just because I cared about others? I learned during first aid that your own safety is the most important thing ever, because how could you save someone else when you're the one that's in danger. so I took that to heart and started taking better care of myself. looking at this country all I saw were people making a full time job of taking care of others, not taking care of themselves. a big factory made to save people. but often those so called saviors attracted villains. because when people are neglected because a) their quirk is seen as a villainous quirk b) they are quirkless or c) there is nothing ''heroic'' about their quirks they are castaway and when people get desperate they turn to other things such as criminal activity. I don't want to say it, but I believe you all created this system of heroes vs villains. I believe that if being a hero wasn't that high paid type of job, wasn't the best thing one could achieve things would be easier. I'm not saying turn in your cash, i'm not saying stop being a hero or go part time no. I'm saying: take care of yourself first, make sure you understand people's frustration. labeling someone a villain just because they are misunderstood makes you the villain in their case and most of all remember that above all you are you. Without the suit, without the power would you still help people? Even if it meant cleaning toilets or cooking for someone would you consider that being a hero? I do. I think most of y'all lost track of the real meaning behind being a hero. I see myself as a human not a hero, I'm y/n and if you need help I'm there for you. Thanks for having me.''
No one had said a thing, but even Katsuki couldn't read the room. You could see a few tears being spilled from Uravity and Ribbit, you could see the lost in thoughts expressions of Deku and Hawks and you could see a few angry faces. Before the room interrupted though, you stood up once again and said: ''I think you all need to discuss this in peace without an outsider. so I'm going for some food, if I'm needed Deku will give me a call.''
Before Katsuki could listen to the discussion that just started to erupt, he'd already walked out and followed you. when you entered the elevator he entered too and after three months you were alone again. He spoke without thinking. ''y/n… I am so sorry for what I've done to you.'' You didn't respond. your back was turned towards him and he had just let go of all his pride and you didn't respond. He had to grab your arm. He had to make you understand. when he touches your arm you snapped. ''Have you had any idea how scared I was of you? Have you ever thought that I thought it was over for me. Killed by a fucking hero who can't control his anger issues. Killed because you wanted to see me in fucking cosplay.'' She had drove him in a corner. not only psychical, but also mentality, because she was right. still he remained slightly defensive ''I...I….I did like the way you looked, but I did see something of myself in you, that's why I really came. still I'm an asshole for what I did you're right.'' she still wasn't done though. ''Yeah Yeah Yeah, you wanted to see me being all angry. shouting 'die' to everyone. wanted to see me in my tiny shorts. probably got off on seeing me so mad.'' Well shit she had a point, even with the guilt he could still remember how it felt when she had defended herself with her words and with her newly activated quirk. Even now as she was still talking he couldn't deny how hot she looked. she was mad at him, he was wrong, he was a failure, those things never crossed his mind and still he kinda liked that she told him the truth, because no one ever did. ''You know what Bakugou you can DIE.'' and with that she manipulated water to get straight into his lungs.. He never knew what dying actually felt like, let alone drowning, but here he was gasping for air and realized that the elevator hadn't moved in a while. She looked at him and he couldn't recognize her face. she was still speaking though and it took every ounce of power of him to keep listening to it. ''I wake up everyday with the thought that you could've killed me that day. I am in rage mode 24/7 and I can't even be the hero I want to be because I'm filled with rage. you destroyed me. and still I wonder why you visited me that day, why you flew at least 10 hours. not just for some booty right? What would the great Dynamight want from me?'' Then he heard your tears. It was so much worse than your anger. ''I thought about you everyday for the past three months. you ruined me and still I thought about the 'what if's?' What if things were different that day…'' All of the sudden his lungs were empty and while he was gasping for air she sat down next to him. They both knew this wasn't going to be healthy, but still they couldn't help it. y/n sighed and whispered '' You're the worst Bakugo.'' and he responded: ''You're right.'' before crashing her lips into his.
The kiss felt like fire. it spread fast and it definitely was built out of rage. as their lips had collided so did their body' bodies were wet from the manipulated water she had used and both their heroes' costumes clung to their skins, but that didn't stop them at all. Before she knew it she was on top of him. It felt good, it felt like payback, it felt like a win. She knew it wasn't like that, she knew this wasn't what she was supposed to do, but still she had to do it. And then just as she felt his dick getting harder there was a sound.
"Don't worry the elevator will be back working in a minute guys."
It felt as if ice cold water had been dropped on them. They were both at a loss for words still panting from the rendezvous they just had. There were no words to be said, so what followed was silence.
