I'm back with chapter 2! Yesterday I got the first two issues of the Manga, and while I was reading, I found Shota Aizawa's character detail page. So I begin reading through it when I saw that cats are listed as his favorite things. I immediately knew what I was going to do. I had another idea for what could happen next, but I thought that the new one was better. I wasn't aware of how Bakugo's mother acted, so I rewrote the chapter. The first time through, Bakugo's mother acted completely out of character.
I just want to repeat this: I didn't come up with this headcanon. Catsandanimenerd did.
Another warning: There will be some mild swearing.

"Don't be late!" Bakugo's mother called after her son.
"I won't," Bakugo said in a flat voice as he headed for the front door. The small, orange kitten that Bakugo had saved the other day tried to follow him to the door, but Bakugo's mother scooped the little kitten up before he could reach the door.
"Not so fast… Uh, Katsuki? What did you name him?" Bakugo's mother stared at him expectantly. Bakugo had stopped just before he turned the doorknob.
Without turning around to face him mother, Bakugo said, "Youta."
Bakugo's mother looked down at the orange kitten, now known as Youta. Bakugo's mother flinched when she heard the door slam. "Katsuki! How many times do I have to tell you to not slam the door!?"
Izuku still thought it was funny. Big bad Bakugo had a soft spot for cats. He knew he shouldn't tell anyone, but what was the worst that could happen if he just told Uraraka and Iida? He knew that Uraraka would love to hear this. Izuku looked up at the U.A. Highschool entrance.
After Izuku had gotten into Aizawa's classroom, he immediately went towards Uraraka and Iida. "Oh, hey, Deku!" Uraraka greeted cheerfully.
"Good morning, Midoriya," Iida addressed in his formal fashion. Both heroes in training noticed the stupid grin on Izuku's face.
"Hey, Deku, what are you so happy about?" Uraraka asked quizzically.
Izuku looked around to be sure the other students weren't too close. There were only a few students in the classroom. "Well-" Izuku lowered his voice a bit, "when I was walking home yesterday, I saw Kachaan."
"Bakugo?" Uraraka's expression grew slightly angry. "He didn't bully you again, did he?"
Izuku put his hands in front of him. "No, no! I saw Kachaan in an alleyway, saving a kitten."
Both Iida and Uraraka gave Izuku a weird look. "Are you sure it was Bakugo and not someone who looked like him?" Iida asked. Izuku nodded.
"After he saved it, he took it home," Izuku continued.
"Wow, I guess even jerks like Bakugo can have a sweet side!" Uraraka said with surprise.
"It makes sense that he wouldn't show that side often or around people, so he can maintain his tough-guy image," Iida observed.
"I know, right? I was just as surprised when I saw it," Izuku said.
Unfortunately for poor Izuku, Jiro, who had been sitting at her desk with a bored expression, had overheard their conversation thanks to her quirk. At first she was a bit confused. It was a bit hard to believe after all. Bakugo seemed to be the meanest kid at U.A. Highschool. Izuku wasn't the type to spread lies or rumors, and even if he decided to start, why would he start with Bakugo? Sure, it would be a great way to get a little payback for all those years of bullying, but once Bakugo found out, Izuku would be left at the mercy of Bakugo's rage. Izuku also still seemed somewhat scared of Bakugo, particularly when the hothead was angry.
Jiro smiled to herself. Normally she wouldn't go around spreading gossip, but this was just too good not to share. She just couldn't wait to tell the others.
Bakugo walked into class 1-A just a few minutes before the bell rang. Why was he later than usual? Because he had to tend to the little orange kitten, that's why. The minute Bakugo walked through the door, the chatter in the room ceased. Bakugo ignored the weird stares that he was getting from his classmates. As he sat down in his desk, he heard a few snickers. "What the hell are those nitwits laughing at?!" Bakugo thought. Hagakure walked up to Bakugo's desk, and although no one could see it due to her quirk, she had a broad smile on her face.
"Um, Bakugo, I just wanted to tell you that I think you saving that kitten was a really sweet thing to do."
Upon hearing Hagakure's statement, Bakugo's eyes snapped open wider than dinner plates. "I guess you're not as bad a guy as I thought," the girl said with a wave of her invisible hand.
"H-how did you-" Bakugo stopped his sentence short. He remembered something from the other day, when he was leaving the alleyway. He remembered seeing someone who looked a lot like Izuku not that far away from the alley's entrance when he was leaving. Everything clicked together in Bakugo's head. And just to confirm his theory, Hagakure said, "I heard the story from Jiro. She said she overheard Midoriya telling the story to Iida and Uraraka."
Bakugo stood from his desk quickly, completely overcome by rage. "Deku!" he roared, causing the invisible girl to jump backwards in fright. Izuku, who was completely oblivious to what had happened, flinched in his desk. "When I get my hands on you, I'm going to blast you into a million pieces!" Bakugo roared with rage as a few small explosions went off in his palms. Izuku's eyes widened in terror, and he jumped out of his desk, screaming. Izuku made a mad dash for the door with Bakugo right on his heels.
"Woah, Bakugo, calm down!" Kirishima shouted fruitlessly.
Bakugo ignored Kirishima's shout and continued to chase the terrified, green haired boy out into the hallway. "Why is Kachaan chasing me?!" Izuku thought, panic stricken. Izuku tried to think of why Bakugo would be so mad at him. Finally the answer came to him. "He must have found out that I saw him back in the alley!"
"Deku! You Damn Nerd!" Bakugo yelled. Deku yelped as he noticed that Bakugo had gotten closer.
Aizawa, also known as the Pro Hero, Eraser Head, walked down the hallway with his lesson plans for the morning in hand. Suddenly a shrill scream pierced the air. Aizawa recognized it as Izuku Midoriya's scream. Practically everyone in class 1-A had memorized that scream, since he did it so often. Two figures came racing down the hallway; one was Midoriya, the other was Bakugo.
As the two ran by, Aizawa used his quirk to turn off Bakugo's quirk, then he used his scarf to stop Bakugo from chasing Izuku. Bakugo struggled against the binds and growled aggressively.
"Midoriya, Bakugo, why aren't you two in class?" Aizawa asked in his normal flat voice.
"This little twerp is going around spreading my personal information!" Bakugo accused, pointing a finger at the still terrified Izuku.
Aizawa turned to Izuku. "Midoriya?"
"No! That's not what happened!" Izuku said, waving his hands in front of him furiously.
"Yeah, right!" Bakugo growled.
"Midoriya, you go on back to class. I think I need Bakugo to explain the situation better, and I don't think he can do that if he's trying to kill you. I don't know how much longer I can keep my eyes open either."
Izuku, although surprised, bowed and thanked Aizawa before he headed back to class. As Izuku passed Bakugo, the blond haired boy growled and snapped at the aspiring hero, causing him to yelp and walk faster.
"I'll release you as long as you promise not to go after Midoriya again," Aizawa said as his eyes twitched, threatening to close. Bakugo muttered a response. Aizawa blinked and replaced his scarf back around his neck. "Good. Now, do you mind explaining to me why you were chasing one of your classmates?"
"That damn nerd went around telling people that I had rescued a kitten!" Bakugo said, not realizing how stupid it sounded.
Aizawa raised an eyebrow. "And that's a bad thing?" Aizawa's tone didn't gain any emotion.
"Yes!" Bakugo shouted.
Aizawa's face morphed into one of confusion before he caught on. "I see. Don't want your tough-guy image to be ruined, huh?"
Yes-no-I mean- uuugh!" Bokuga growled as he tried and failed to find the right words.
"I'll make a deal with you. I won't give you detention-" Bakugo turned to look at Aizawa, surprised, "if you bring that kitten you saved, so I can see it."
Bakugo seemed to think the proposal over. He sighed, " I don't see why not."
"Then it's a deal. Now, get back to class, we have a lot of work to do today," Aizawa said as he began to pick up his lesson plans, which he had dropped to stop Bakugo.
"Whatever," Bakugo replied.
The rest of the day went normally, except for Bakugo's classmates constantly reminding him that he had saved and adopted the stray kitten.
Okay, I will write a third part to this, where Aizawa meets little Youta. After that, I think this series of one-shots will be over. If I have another idea for this series of one-shots, then I'll be sure to write it. By the way, the kitten's name means "great sunlight". That's why I chose it. If someone has something to add to this series of one-shots or maybe another idea, then feel free to PM me or leave your idea in a review. If you were one of the people who read the original chapter two, how'd I do this time around with Baugo's mom? I hope she seems more in character this time. I only had the wiki and fencer29's review to go off of for her character. Anyways, until next time!
