Izuku burst threw the front door of his home and immediately went looking for his mom.
"Mom! Moooom!" izuku called out a couple of times.
"In here sweet heart!" she called back and izuku followed her voice into the dining room of the house. When he entered he saw his moms friend, Uraraka's mom, sitting with her drinking wine. "Hello darling, Mrs. Uraraka came to visit!"
"Hello izuku!" she chirped and izuku waved and smiled to her.
"Hello!" he said before turning back to his mom. "Mom! Off the top of your head, how many gods do you know the names of?"
Izuku's mom stared at him and blinked a couple of times. "Why do you ask sweetie?"
"I'm asking for one of my other friends, there's this one god that they want to learn about." Izuku lied slowly becoming impatient. Izuku watched as his mom drop her guard, which he found extremely weird.
"Oh well then in that case, there's plenty of gods and goddess'. There's the god of medicine, the god of wisdom, the god of nature…the god of strength, the god of-"
"Sorry but do you know if any of them have like, kids?" izuku cut her off. He had this werid knot in his chest and it needed to be untangled now.
"Noo, not that I know of." Inko chuckled a bit and looked toward her friend who was just sitting quietly listening.
Izuku sulked realizing that he just hit a dead end. "Alright, thanks mom." He said and slowly started to walk away to his bed oom. He began to think whatever he thought might've just been him being crazy again.
"Oh! But there is the leader of the gods, mitsuki. She had a young boy and he's obviously the next heir to the throne, I think." Inko says out of nowhere and izuku's heart leaps as he spins around. "I heard it from someone, but I forgot who."
"W-What, really?" izuku ran back to her and was so close he was practically in her lap. Uraraka's mom giggled and continued to watch.
"Yes dear! She's the leader of the gods of course she's going to need to have children if she wants to keep her family running things. I think there's a picture of her in my mythology book upstairs." She says and instantly izuku is off of her running towards her bedroom.
"I'm gonna look through it for a bit!" he says as he runs. When he reaches the room, the book isn't hard to spot. It's the biggest one on her bookshelf with gold edges and a whole lot a pages.
Izuku walks over and picks up the book. He can tell for a regular person it would've been real heavy but for him it was nothing. The title of the book is simply "mythology" and he opens the book. He is immediately guided through the history of the gods and how people on earth are suppose to treat them. He skims through the pages and notices that after a while there's a page or two for each god explaining who they were and what there role was in life. Izuku flipped through all the gods, looking for the one his mother mentioned. He did stop and notice that the god of strength had a lot of sticky notes and scribbles all around his pages, but he decided that he'd come back to that another time.
As izuku flipped threw the pages, he stopped when he finally found the person he was looking for. Mitsuki, the creation god. Izuku read that, she is basically why the earth is here and that she creates life, rules, and order itself. Izuku knew that she must have been a tough person that he wouldn't ever want to cross. When he looked at her picture his heart felt as if it stopped. He was so surprised that he dropped the book and fell backwards, but after a couple of seconds he crawled over to the book and looked again.
There was no mistake, this woman, looked just like the boy he met earlier.
"Mom!" izuku yelled out not taking his eyes away from the page.
"Yes darling?!" she called back.
"What was the name of the kid that the goddess mitsuki had?"
"Uh, I think his name started with a k. I believe katsuki or something along those lines!" she said and izuku wasn't able to hear that she turned back to her friend and continued to talk because everything in his own world froze.
"Oh my god…" izuku mumbled to himself. "He's…he's…!"
The next day, bakugo found himself walking towards the gates with toshinori again. Today he wore more loose fitting clothes and stretched as he went down the hill of clouds.
"So, anything interesting happen yesterday?" toshinori asked as he walked with the younger male. "You were down there for hours yesterday!"
"Yea, well, mom said that if I master summoning my spirit creature then, I can continue to freely roam earth. I think I'm kind of getting the hang of it but I need more time and practice." Bakugo said as he pushed open the gates.
"You know, friends are always a big help. Did you make any friends young katsuki?"
Bakugo scoffs and looks up at toshinori. "I'm not supposed to break any of the rules, or I'm dead and so are you." Is all he says. He doesn't want to have to lie to the person who's been helping him out so far.
"Haha! Right, of course! Well if you can keep a secret I won't tell anyone either!" toshinori boomed and bakugo rolled his eyes. When he reached the edge of the clouds he peaked over. It was always seemed like a bigger jump than before.
"Should I do the honors again?" toshinori asks and immediately bakugo hopped away from him remembering the past.
"No! Fuck off! You keep tryna kill me!" he yelled and toshinori laughs.
"Impossible! Our bodies won't allow us to hit the ground! I couldn't possibly kill you this way!"
"You aggravate me" bakugo growls. Toshinori laughs as bakugo peaks over the edge again. "I'll see you soon I guess."
"Have fun young katsuki!" toshinori says and with that, bakugo gathers enough courage to jump on his own this time.
He holds his breath as he goes falling down to earth. This time is isn't as scary seeing he jumped himself. It's actually really relaxing. He closes his eyes and for a moment he feels peaceful as the wind beats across his entire body. He opens his eyes and realizes he's getting pretty close to earth. Bakugo hops today will be the day he summons his creature. He knows exactly what it is, but hasn't seen himself fully transform yet. He hoped today will be a good day, no surprises.
As bakugo reaches earth, he stops in the air before his body just falls. This time he does land on his feet. He looks around and his usual spot it the same. A nice sized field of grass, trees surrounding him, and a little pond not too far. Bakugo sighs. He thinks of izuku and wonders if the boy is going to show up later, but right now he had a job to do.
Izuku woke up the next morning and ran downstairs. He greeted his mom, quickly ate breakfast and sped out the front door towards the forest. His goal for today was clear. As izuku left town he burst through the trees and ran straight for the spot that he originally found bakugo in. as he got closer, he started to get nervous. Did he really want to know the answer to his question? Would his new company be honest with him?
Bakugo was about to sit on the ground and begin practice, but he heard the bushes around him rustle and he knew someone was coming. He immediately tensed up but dropped his guard realizing there was rally only one person who came out here. When izuku burst threw the bushes he slightly smiled at bakugo before grabbing his knees and gasping for air.
Bakugo smirked "What, did you just run a mile or something?"
"No, it's just…I'm not used to…getting up this early and…running." izuku panted and stood up straight.
"Well, I wasn't going anywhere you could've just walked and I wouldv'e-"
"Nevermind that, are you a god?" izuku blurted out. He couldn't hold in his curiousity anymore. Even though tis was a risky question, izuku knew he might've already known the answer based off the face bakugo was giving him.
Bakugo was internally freaking out. His eyes widened and his mouth was slightly parted as he processed the question izuku had asked him. "W-Wha…?" Why did he ask him this out of nowhere? How did he even find out? "N-No, what?"
"Katsuki, seriously are you?" izuku stepped closer causing bakugo to tense up. "I thought about it; a stranger who comes out of nowhere and is named katsuki like the son of the goddess mitsuki? Also when I read about it, I learned that almost all gods can shape shift and have these spirits that come out that describe there character."
Bakugo snorted. "Listen, I don't know what you're talking about. I just don't live around here, drop it!" it was bad enough that he was already breaking one of his mothers rules, but now that izuku figured it out what was going to happen?
"I can't just drop it! this is unbelievably amazing! I saw a picture of your mom in my mom's mythology book, she looked just like you based off what people said she looked like! She was pretty by the way, is your mom really that strong? That must mean your pretty strong too! I wonder-"
"Hey! What are you going on about?! You figure out I'm a god and the first thing you do is start to ramble random thoughts and questions?!"
"…So you are a god." Izuku says with wide eyes.
Bakugo slaps his forehead and groans. The jig was up, and there was no going back. He looked back at the other boy who was still staring at him with his huge green orbs. Bakugo stared back for a moment before speaking. "So now what?"
"Huh?" izuku twiddled with his fingers.
"Now what, are you going tell on me? Tell your town that I'm here and then let them come after me to try to trap me or something, but when I flee I can never ever return to earth because everyone will know who I am. And this also means none of the other gods could come to earth because no one is going to trust a random stranger anymore and they'll assume that there a god whether they are or not and-"
Bakugo was cut off when he felt izuku push his entire body into his own and wrap his arms around him. Bakugo froze and his eyes narrowed straight as he held his breath. He knew izuku was hugging him, but he didn't want to look down to see.
"I won't tell anyone katsuki, It can be a secret between you and me. I like that you enjoy coming to earth and I wouldn't take that from you." Izuku says and releases bakugo. He smiled up at the other male but frowns when he sees that bakugo is still tensed up and staring in the distance. Izuku couldn't help but laugh a bit, his idea for a hug was the only thing he thought could really work to stop bakugo from rambling on.
"Anyway, you said you had a spirit animal you were trying to summon?" izuku said and tapped bakugo to wake him out of his trance. Bakugo looked down at him and cleared his throat.
"Yea…it's pretty big."
"Well, you were close before. You turned red with horns and had a tail. What is it exactly?"
"…Something that describes my aggressive character and it's something people would dread if it were in there towns. It's also very dangerous and never seen by a person before."
Izuku rested his chin in his hand as he thought hard about it. Something that was huge, dangerous, and never seen by people, as in considered a myth. Bakugo had turned red, with a tail, and horns. What creature could possibly have all that.
And then a thought hit izuku. His eyes widened when he realized that had to be it. he looked up at bakugo "No way…is it…is it…?" he struggled to find his next set of words, he was beyond shocked.
"Yup, dragon."
