Chapter 2

After Mr. Aizawa leaves, Izuku leaves his room. One hand firmly holding the toy that is still in his pocket.

He takes the elevator, going two floors up, exiting and quickly walking towards a room, knocks, waiting for the occupant to open the door.

His attention is momentarily caught by Kirishima and Kaminari who are arguing in the corridor. They look like they are about to fight. Izuku starts walking towards them when suddenly a hand reaches out from the other side of the door and pulls him inside.

Bakugo's POV

I don't have much time before school. Bakugo thinks to himself, flipping the pan.

He's making pancakes.

Maybe I'll call Deku and ask him to come here. He muses, a smirk forming on his face.

They started dating a while ago and the way Midoriya always blushes and stutters when Bakugo's looking at him makes his ego skyrocket every single time.

Suddenly there's a knock at the door which only pisses Bakugo off. Don't these people ever quit!? He thinks to himself, irritated at the lack of time and the thought of having to deal with his classmates so early in the morning.

He turns off the stove and opens the door. His mood turns by 180 degrees when he sees the person standing outside his room.

Well hello… He thinks and looks at his boyfriend. Izuku's cheeks are slightly flushed and his brows are furrowed while he looks at the two boys arguing in the hallway. Cute. Bakugo thinks and continues admiring the guy in front of him

Suddenly Izuku starts to walk away from the door, not even realising Katsuki had already opened it to let him in and was now looking at him questioningly.

He's going to stop the two idiots from fighting and not even come in. Oh, hell, no. Bakugo thinks and abruptly pulls Izuku inside his room by his sweatshirt.

Izuku startles and looks up at him through his eyelashes and Bakugo leans in close so that their faces are almost touching.

He lets out an involuntary gasp when Bakugo whispers, "Hey…" his voice soft and gentle, so much unlike the Bakugo he has been used to in the past.

"Hi." Izuku replies shyly, looking into Katsuki's eyes.

"What brings you by?" He asks, snaking one of his arms around Izuku's waist and using the other to hold himself up against the door so that he's towering over his boyfriend.

Izuku turns ever redder at the proximity and the incidents of this morning fly out the window and he mumbles out an incoherent string of words.

Bakugo takes this opportunity to lean in even closer and kiss his nose. Izuku chokes on his words and goes completely still. His flustered state only encourages Bakugo who then runs his hands along Izuku's sides, teasing him.

"What are you doing?" Izuku chokes out, grabbing at Katsuki's shirt and looking at him with wide eyes.

"What do you think?" Bakugo smirks, ghosting his lips over Izuku's, still teasing him.

This has Izuku impatient. "Just kiss me already!" He snaps and Bakugo obliges by kissing him softly. It's soft, too soft, and is over in a second.

He pulls away and Izuku gapes at him, missing the sudden lack of warmth from his body.

"What?" He says in disbelief. "That was hardly a kiss!"

"That's all you're getting" Bakugo replies and walks over to the stove, turning the heat back on.

"I thought you were going to be nice." Izuku says with a pout and Bakugo raises an eyebrow at him.

"What gave you that idea?" He asks and Izuku huffs.

Katsuki noticed that all this time Izuku's hands had remained in his pockets and the left pocket seemed slightly bigger.

"What have you got over there?" He asks, staring pointedly at the left side of Izuku's sweatshirt.

"Oh, right!" Izuku replies, excited, and takes out the doll he had snuck out of the pile of things Mr. Aizawa had been hurriedly shoving inside the suitcase.

Katsuki comes closer, intrigued, more by his boyfriend's expressions than by the doll itself.

"I haven't had the chance to look at it closely myself yet but-" He starts rambling when the toy is plucked out of his hands. "Hey!" He snaps and reaches out for it but Katsuki has decided to be a pain in the ass.

He's holding the doll over his head now.

"Why do you have a toy, Bunny?" He asks, teasingly and Izuku turns red hearing the nickname.

"It's not mine-" Izuku replies and tries to jump up to grab it but Bakugo dodges him easily turning around, walking towards his bed, inspecting the doll in his hand. He is thrown off balance when Izuku decides to crash into him, toppling both of them onto Bakugo's bed.

"What are you doing, you nerd?" Bakugo asks, falling face first onto the mattress, Izuku now latched onto his back. His hand still outstretched over his head, holding the toy.

"Give it back!" Izuku demands, punching him lightly on his back, annoying Katsuki further.

"Not a chance." He says and flips the both of them over, so that he's on top of Izuku, who is now lying down chest first on his bed.

"Do you really think you can win against me?" He challenges, leaning in and whispering into Izuku's ear who shivers at the proximity and the warm air hitting his ear from Katsuki's lips

"I can." He mumbles, squirming.

"Oh, really?" Bakugo says, provoking him further. He bites Izuku's ear playfully, making him yelp in surprise.

"S-Stop!" Izuku exclaims and flips them over once again, so that he's now sitting on top of Bakugo, straddling him. "I actually came here for a reason."

"Uh huh," Bakugo replies, his hands tracing up Izuku's thighs to his waist. "And what might that be?"

Izuku's POV

Izuku's breath hitches at the feeling of his hands on his body but he has to focus, otherwise he'll forget about what little he remembers of his dream, and then there are the incidents of this morning to talk about too.

"Look at the toy in your hand," He says to Bakugo, who reluctantly detaches his hands from Izuku's waist and picks up the toy, bringing it closer to his face.

"What in the…" He whispers and Izuku just looks at him, waiting for him to ask.

"Where did you get this?" Bakugo finally asks after looking at it for a whole minute and Izuku shrugs.

"When I woke up this morning, I found a suitcase in my room. It had a whole bunch of weird stuff. Some dolls that looked like you, me, and some of our classmates, DVDs and manga." He pauses to look at Bakugo, who is looking at him intently. "So.. I called Mr. Aizawa to come over and take a look at it. Everything else is with him now, except this toy. I picked it up when he wasn't looking."

Bakugo looks at the doll again in thought and says, "It looks like me."

"I know," Izuku agrees, "like an older version of you."

Katsuki looks at him again and asks, "What is Eraserhead going to do now?"

"He's going to consult the other teachers and ask them what to do with the things we found."

"It's probably for the best." Bakugo replies and Izuku is once again surprised at the subtle changes in his boyfriend's behavior. He was still a jerk but his sweet, gentle, and thoughtful side was slowly unraveling itself.

Izuku finds himself thinking about the dream again. It had felt so real… Before today he had no idea that he was capable of using his power in his sleep.

"What are you thinking about?" Katsuki's voice interrupts his thoughts, pulling all his attention back towards his boyfriend, whose hands have found their way back towards Izuku's waist and were trying to creep under his sweatshirt.

"I had this dream last night… well, this morning." Izuku says, and Bakugo replies with a "mhm", his hands continuing to tease Izuku whose breath hitches.

"W-well as I was saying-" He tries to start again but pauses and gasps when suddenly he feels a cold finger trace his stomach.

He jumps up and lands beside Bakugo on the bed, face even redder now and says, "I am actually trying to tell you about something serious!"

"Don't get mad at me!" Bakugo retorts. "You're the one sitting on top of me, telling me you had a dream last night." He says and Izuku blushes again.

"Whatever." He mutters and looks away, making Bakugo turn towards him with a sigh, still laying down.

"Oh come on… bunny." He used the nickname again, teasingly. "Tell me about your dream."

Izuku smiles inwardly at the nickname. He knows Bakugo calls him that because of the dorky ears on his costume and because of the way he now uses his power through his legs, moving around quickly in the air through forceful jumps.

"I think I saw the first person to have One for All." Izuku says.

"You mentioned something like this before too," Bakugo replies, thinking back to when Izuku told him about how the previous owners of the power had helped him escape his opponent's paralysis trap.

"Yeah…" Izuku replies, deep in thought. "It wasn't just them there this time though. I think… I think I saw All for One, too." He finishes making Katsuki's eyebrows shoot up to his hairline.

"Really? Him? Why?" He asks, slightly concerned now. All for One showing up could never be a good thing.

Izuku shrugs, "Beats me." He says, thinking about the dream again. His brows furrow, "He was trying to steal One for All… He wasn't able to but yeah… All Might did say that no one can take it by force, the owner has to be willing for the transfer."

Bakugo nods firmly, "There's no reason to worry about him then… At least I hope not…"

"Yeah, you're probably right." Izuku says and smiles now. Staring deep into Katsuki's eyes with adoration.

"What?" Bakugo says in a snappish way, secretly enjoying Izuku's focus on himself on the inside.

Izuku smiles even wider at his tone, "Just appreciating you listening to everything I say, and then saying what I need to hear."

"Where would you be without me?" Bakugo says jokingly, getting up from the bed and pulling Izuku up by his hand as well.

He drags him towards the counter where he was cooking.

"I don't know," Izuku replies, "I probably wouldn't have been so into being a hero though, you sort of inspired me."

"I am pretty awesome." Bakugo says in a superior tone and Izuku chuckles softly.

"You were making pancakes!" Izuku exclaims excitedly when he peeks at the small stove Katsuki has set up in his room.

Now it's Bakugo's turn to turn shy. "Yeah… I was thinking of calling you over once I was done..." He says insecurely, not knowing how it would make him seem in Izuku's eyes. He's so used to putting up a cocky front that he doesn't know how to deal with showing the world a more caring side of himself.

"That's the sweetest thing ever…" Izuku says softly, patting him lightly on the cheek and making him feel like someone was squeezing his heart inside his chest.

Izuku, having no idea whatsoever of how his actions were making his boyfriend feel, proceeds towards the small cabinet beside the counter and takes out two plates, forks and knives.

Bakugo simply stands and watches while Izuku sets the plates down and puts two pancakes each on both the plates.

"Do you have syrup?" He asks, startling Bakugo who was deep in his thoughts, thinking about how he got from being enemies with the kid and this.

"Y-Yeah." He stutters a little, surprising himself, and slightly nudges Izuku's shoulder with his own, making Izuku's heart drop to his stomach and accelerating his breathing.

He takes out the syrup which was hidden from Izuku's view by the other foods in the storage and places it on the counter.

"Let's eat." He says softly, grabbing the plates and walking towards his couch. "You coming or what?" He asks and looks behind when he doesn't hear footsteps following.

Izuku's watching him with an intense look on his face which makes Bakugo's heart skip several beats.

"Yeah." He replies fondly before grabbing the syrup and walking towards his boyfriend.
