Thanks for the reviews, I did go back and change the error, it is now One-for-all instead of the villain All-for-One. Hahahaha. Thanks
OoOoOo
The downfall of what she'd told Kaa-chan under the mind-control quirk, was that it was actually true. She did fantasize about the explosive hero all of the time. It was odd, and perhaps it bordered on strange. It wasn't really an obsession, because logically and emotionally Midoriya knew that Katsuki Bakugou was an ass.
It had to be an additional quirk he possessed, to manage to be that much of a jackass. Not that she had anything against people who looked more like animals. It had become fairly standard for some animalistic appearances to take place in the few generations since quirks had actually appeared. He was just the non-literal definition of a Jackass.
However, that did not stop her treacherous mind and body from thinking that sexual relations with Bakugou might not be the worst thing in the world. Granted he had 'calmed' down since his full entrance into the hero leagues. Just as Izuku had started to form a more jaded edge.
Yet, she still acknowledged that once upon a time, Kastsuki had actually managed not to produce enough douche for a whale's vagina. In short, he hadn't been that bad before he'd lost it when they were five. Sure, he'd been a little full of himself from the start, but he had the protective qualities of a decent person. He also was extremely passionate.
Which is where her mind went the second it got a chance.
Also, she had the tendency to overanalyze everything. That included what she was certain Bakugou was packing and what he would likely do with it. From a purely speculative point of view, of course.
And it seriously did not help, that he'd been requesting pair-ups with her agency. It didn't help one iota. Mostly due to the fact that Plan A was still in effect, and King Explosion seemed bound and determine to take their neutral territory of co-workers and throw it right out the damn window.
Which she would object to, but then she'd have to acknowledge the reason 'why', that she wasn't supposed to remember. So... yeah... it left her in the gray area of simply allowing this to happen.
Though, she kept turning down the pairing requests, whenever possible. The last one she'd gotten out of by dragging poor Tenya (but ending up with Shinso). She'd rushed to his office, her green mask pulled back, and the face covering of the smile around her neck, as she stormed into his family's agency.
"Quirk me!" She shouted, rushing toward him. "Quirk me, NOW."
Poor Tenya looked perplexed for a moment, before he turned a bright shade of red, and coughed into his hand.
"I'm sorry," he returned politely, "but I do not understand what you are asking of me."
Izuku took a deep breath, her bright green eyes and curly hair were wild.
"Please, I need you to partner with me for the next round of novice hero patrols." She nervously rambled, clenching her hands and relaxing them. If she wasn't careful, she might activate One-for-all right here in the room.
However, Tenya's family would probably be fine. They were pretty fast. But, she'd been warned off of more property damage by her mentor. Izuku's claims could be quite... large.
It was required by the government law that no agency hold a monopoly, and for a few weeks out of the year, they required the novice heroes to work with others outside of their agencies. It also allowed them to become more familiar with the quirks of others that they might run into later. Having to wait for someone with the correct quirk to show up, often could be a pain or spell disaster. However, if they already had an idea of whom might work, they could be called into scene.
"Ah," The straight-laced man replied, with a nod of his head. "I wish that this request had come earlier, I regret that I have already been promised to another agency."
He bowed to her, and Midoriya bit back the urge to say a few words that would not be becoming of the new symbol of hope.
"No, no," she said glancing around quickly. "I understand, sorry. I should have said something sooner, its just that I -"
She stopped mid sentence, as she saw a familiar face round the corner. Izuku, dashed over tot he stock of bright blue hair.
"Shinso," she cried out happily, nearly bouncing on the balls of her feet. Tenya blinked, only just able to see her vapor trail as she abandoned him for someone else.
His dark eyes focused on her instantly, and he narrowly managed to avoid knocking into her.
"Yes?"
"Quirk me!" The up and coming hero, demanded as she gripped the front of his shirt. "Quirk with me."
He tilted his head, trying to figure out what she wanted. Because he could take this a multitude of ways-
"Izuku needs another novice hero to partner with," Tenya called from he other side of the room, as he adjusted his glasses.
Ah. What a shame, Shinso tucked his vain hope back in the deep recesses of his mind.
"Why?"
Midoriya was nearly trembling with excitement.
"Because you're awesome and we are friends."
Co-workers, but close enough. At least to Shinso. He ran a hand through his messy blue hair.
"I don't-"
Midoriya's eyes welled with tears, and Shinso just could not do it. He couldn't turn her down. He didn't particularly want to pair with anyone. It wasn't that he had an obligation or anything, but he had been hoping to avoid the false bravado and trash talking that often came with novice hero like himself.
"...Okay."
She blinked, and the tears were gone. Shinso had the sneaking suspicion that he'd just been duped somehow.
"Great!"
OoOoOo
Bakugou was glaring. Izuku knew that he was glaring, because that was what he normally did anyway, but it hadn't escaped her notice that there was actual steam coming from his hands.
Plan B: Ignore it.
Very similar to Plan A: Pretend it didn't happen. Except now it had the addendum that any new things would also be locked inside the mental box, the lid would be closed very tightly on the mental box. And, then you chuck that box into the mental ocean where it sinks deep, deep, down and denial takes care of the rest.
She was still undecided if the strategy was working or not. Because Kaa-chan hadn't come right out and said anything, but she knew, she knew, that he wouldn't let it drop for forever. Then her denial would kick back in and she was certain that she could wait him out once more.
"I have the feeling that King Explosion over there hates me." Shinso or 'Mind Flayer' said casually to 'Deku'.
She laughed brightly, which caused the smoke to become thicker, and there was a distant cry of 'don't blow up the building!' from their left.
"What? No, no. King Explosion hates everyone equally," she said jokingly. "He's rather fair that way."
The man with the sunken eyes glanced from her toward the blonde hero and back.
"He's staring at you."
She knew. She could feel it. It was like that aura that seemed to radiate potential doom behind you.
"Oh yeah?" Midoriya said lightly. "Probably just wants to out do me again on patrols."
Shinso made a noncommittal noise in the back of his throat.
"Like a wolf and a lamb."
"What?" She asked, genuinely confused.
"Let me rephrase it in your language." Shinso leaned in much closer, and Izuku could only blink as he opened his mouth and said. "Baaa."
OoOoOo
And, like most times when they were actually called out, there was never a dull moment. Though the beginning had been utterly boring. The moment they had been called to the corner of first and main road, they were greeted with a villain with protrusions all along his body. It was strange though, he wasn't holding onto anything, and no one appeared to be held hostage.
Deku didn't trust it one bit.
She ended up launching past Shinso, landing the first blow, as the villain moved to assault another hero. It was then that she noticed the blade sticking out of the man wearing a black hero uniform, with a moon mask. She didn't recognize him, he must be someone she'd never paired with before.
There were at least four other heroes beside herself, and one of them happened to be the very blonde she was hoping to avoid. However, there was no time for that now.
"I'll kill you!" The jagged villain snarled, knives at the ready.
Deck smiled broadly. She was paying attention to every detail in this man's body. She could see the stress, the tension, the furry, and the desperation. Desperation made you stupid. She would know, she'd been there. However, as her hero side took over she called out cockily as she aligned her body for the blow that was certain to come. From his right side, by the way he favored it.
"You are going to have to get in line." She replied cheekily, with her bright green eyes flashing.
The features of the Villain contorted sharply, his angular face turned even more jagged, much like his quirk.
"Fuck you!" He spat, with a bit of spittle flying from his mouth.
She snorted.
"You're going to have to get in line for that too." Deku replied easily, not missing a beat.
"Fuck that," Bakugou growled from behind the Villain, as he managed a serious of brutal punches and a kicks against the natural armor the male possessed. "I am the line."
She didn't quite register what the explosive hero had said, but Shinso aka 'Mind Flayer' to her left, caught every word. Well, now wasn't that interesting?
Izuku had predicted it correctly, the jagged male darted toward her, knives at the ready.
"Smash!" She hollered as One-for-all expanded its power, shattering the Villain's plates and jagged protrusions all at once. He stumbled for a moment, then fell. Deku cradled her hand to her chest. Pointy guys still hurt like the dickens against her hands. Grand Torino said that it would change in time, but for now, she felt that one.
Even with the gloves.
"Ow."
Crimson eyes watched her intently, and it was to her great surprise that Kaa-chan actually reached out an grabbed her hand. Hesitantly she gave it to him.
"Take better fucking care of yourself, dumbass." Bakugou muttered as he inspected the gash that had formed between two of her knuckles.
'Don't think about it. Don't-'
But it was far too late. Suddenly she had the mental image of him dragging his tongue across her wound, licking a path up to her neck. Maybe their costumes were a bit more torn up in the fantasy, far more exposed skin and-
"Good job, Deku," Shinso said lazily, as he clapped a hand on her shoulder. "We should be getting back."
The red-eyed glare leveled his way, might have terrified a lesser man, but Shinso was quite smart. Izuku Midoriya just had to bat her pretty eyes and say this guy's stupid nickname; nothing was going to happen to Shinso. Bakugou might be a hot-headed jerk, but he was not stupid.
However, it was clear that he wanted Izuku. The question was, if she knew it as well.
"Right," She replied brightly, pulling her hand from Kaa-chan's just as her mind got to the good part, the pressed against the wall and screaming someone's name part. That was probably for the best.
"The police are here anyway," Deku commented brightly, as she noticed the reporters not far behind.
She walked with Mind Flayer, chattering brightly about how he had done a great job as well, when Shinso stopped her mid sentence.
"So, you and Bakugou, huh?"
Izuku pulled off an amazing poker face, tilting her head to the side again and once more using what Uraraka had taught her.
"What do you mean?"
Shinso seemed highly unimpressed as he stared her down.
Plan B. Plan B. Plan B.
OoOoOo
It was all over the tabloids the next morning. Izuku nearly fainted, as all the blood rushed to her face. The picture of her and Katsuki, as he held her hand. It seemed as if someone had altered the photo though, because there was no way in hell she'd been wearing such a cheesy grin at that moment.
Her bright green eyes scanned the title once more.
'King Explosion and Deku, Is Romance in the Air?'
That took up half the damn page, while they only gave a two paragraph blurb on them stopping the actual villain. The other seven freaking paragraphs were speculation about her and Kaa-chan.
'No, no, no, no, no, no nonononononononononononono,' Her mind turned blank and she could only stare at the page in a silent scream for a few minutes.
She pushed the offending paper to the side, and turned on her computer. This is where the internet would help her! This is where... she'd find dozens and dozens of pages of her as Deku, and King Explosion... together. There was already fan art. Izuku blushed to the roots of her hair.
Alright. It was clear that Plan B was not entirely working, because now she had several new ideas floating through her head, and she was blaming the internet communities for that.
Also, she'd probably start blushing if Bakugou came near her with hand cuffs.
Plan C: Nope!
She was not dealing with this. Not at all.
OoOoOo
"You and Deku, huh?" Kirishima asked casually, as he and Katsuki shared an after-work moment of relaxation. At their favorite restaurant that served the spiciest food that Katsuki could find.
"Yeah." He replied, taking a bite of his dinner, and staring the rock-quirk user down. "What about it?"
The red-head shook his head.
"Nothing, just surprised is all."
The blonde smirked and snorted.
"She fuckin' wants me so bad." Katsuki boasted, slamming his hand on the table.
It wasn't that Eijiro didn't believe him, it was just that he had a very hard time picturing that. He did his best to keep it from his face.
"So... you're what? Dating? Doing stuff on the side? What?"
Bakugou glared at him.
"None of your fucking business ass clown."
Eijiro laughed, and took drink before replying.
"You really have a thing for asses."
"What the hell? I do not!"
"Its 'ass-wipe', 'ass clown', 'shit-stain'." He quirked a brow at the blonde condescendingly. "Does Midoriya know the sort of things she's getting into with you?"
"Fuck you!"
"I didn't know you swung both ways," Eijiro replied innocently. "And, while I am flattered, I can't say that Deku would be too happy with me poaching her man."
It had looked as if the explosive male would lose his temper, but suddenly he calmed down at Kirishima's last words. A small smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Pfft. I could do way better than you, fucker."
The red head smiled discreetly into his drink. So, its was more than just a side-fling, huh? He wondered just what Katsuki felt for Midoriya, but whatever it was. it was not inconsequential.
