BakuDeku Angst & Fluff

"Kacchan..."

"Shut up. Just- just shut up."

Bakugo wipes away his tears angrily and Midoryia steps forward. "Stop. Just... fuck. I can't..." Bakugo says, struggling to find words and force himself to stop crying. "This goes no where. Its just me and you and I'll never tell anyone." Midoryia promises and locks the door. Bakugo flinches and shakes his head. "Don't d-do that, i-it-"

"Okay, you don't need to explain yourself."

The door is unlocked and Midoryia carefully goes to sit on Bakugo's bed and pats the spot beside him. "We don't have to talk. I can just stay here if you want, we can watch something or just sit down." Midoryia says and Bakugo just looks away, tears still dragging down his face. They feel like acid, burning his skin and leaving scars of dried tears. Midoryia doesn't look at him, instead tracing the invisible patterns in the grey carpet with his burning gaze. Bakugo crosses his arms but sits beside Midoryia. They're so close Midoryia can feel the heat from his side. "You say anything, I blow your ass up." He says and Midoryia nods. "Of course." He says gently and Bakugo rolls his eyes.

"I mean it, Deku." He says and Midoryia nods again. "I understand. You can talk to me, but we don't have to talk." Midoryia says and Bakugo just snarls. "I got it, damn nerd! If I wanted to talk, I'd say something." He snaps and Midoryia goes quiet. Bakugo leans against Midoryia, barely enough for Midoryia to feel.

Maybe he just slumped over because he got tired, surely there's no way the Bakugo Katsuki is seeking comfort from him, right? Midoryia can't take the chance, he'd much rather get yelled at for misreading the situation than make Bakugo think he isn't okay with it. Midoryia takes a soft breath before moving his arm around Bakugo and pulling him a bit closer. Bakugo turns his head into Midoryia's side and takes a shaky breath. Midoryia stays quiet for him and just holds him, trying not to overthink this. Midoryia pets his side softly and Bakugo relaxes a little to it.

"Can I lay bac-"

"Do I look like Inko? You're not my fucking responsibility." He snaps and Midoryia understands. Yes, please. Midoryia lays back and pulls Bakugo onto his chest. Bakugo grumbles like he's mad but shifts slightly to get more comfortable. Midoryia pets his head and watches in slight surprise as Bakugo leans into it and kinda nuzzles into it. Midoryia runs his fingers through Bakugo's hair and pets him softly, letting him relax. Bakugo sighs quietly and cautiously puts a hand on Midoryia's chest, letting out breaths evenly and relaxing.

"Do you wanna-"

"Not right now. Damn it, just... just stay." The last two words are so quiet Midoryia almost thought he just misheard Bakugo. But he'd caught them, he understood. Midoryia pushes the hair from his face and pets him, trying to let him calm back down. Bakugo leans into it with a sigh and just let's his head drop back down to Midoryia's chest.

Midoryia tries to think about how to fix this, then looks down to talk to Bakugo to find him sound asleep. Midoryia just nods softly and let's his head drop back. "I wish I knew how to help you. I wanna help you get stronger so we can be the best heroes in history. But we can't do that if you bottle up your emotions. We gotta work together." He says softly and sighs before just closing his eyes and going to sleep holding Bakugo.

~Time Skip~

Midoryia wakes up with an issue. Bakugo is laid on his chest cuddled into his neck, arms around him. Midoryia has no clue what to do. He can't wake Bakugo up, no way in hell. But he's got to move, his arm went to sleep. He shifts under Bakugo and takes his arm out from under his side. Bakugo wakes up with soft grumbling and sighs. "Stay still, damn nerd. Its too early for this shit." He grumbles angrily and Midoryia goes still with his arms around Bakugo. "Sorry, how are you feeling?" Midoryia says and Bakugo looks up at him, propping his head on Midoryia's chest.

"When the fuck have I ever told you how I'm feeling?" He snaps and Midoryia hesitantly puts his hand on top of Bakugo's head and pets him softly, watching as Bakugo still leans into it. "When have you ever let me do this? Come on, please." Midoryia says softly and scratches Bakugo's scalp gently. Bakugo contemplates it and Midoryia doesn't rush him, providing soft comfort without hesitation. Bakugo rests his head on Midoryia's chest and sighs. "Can... can we just stay like this? I-I'm tired..." Bakugo says and looks away pointedly, embarrassed.

"Yeah, I'll be here when you're ready and I'm here for you now." Midoryia says and pushes the hair from his face gently. Bakugo is now on the brink of tears yet again as Midoryia holds him. Midoryia pulls Bakugo up onto his chest a bit more so he can dip his head and be against the blond's ear. "Let it out, I've got you." He whispers and Bakugo's eyes widen slightly. After all the times he's made Midoryia cry then criticized and tormented him for it, this pushes him over the edge. He sobs brokenly, hiding his face in Midoryia's neck as he cries.

Midoryia rubs his back and kisses his forehead softly. "God, she's so- just ugh. One day I'm her perfect son that's going to beat All Might, the next I'm so weak that I'm the reason for his demise. I can't be number one with her... her!" He snaps and Midoryia nods. "I want to make her proud and she's one of the only people who's specific opinion I actually care about but god damn it, it hurts so bad when I disappoint her." He says as Midoryia holds his face gently. "You are not a disappointment. You didn't cause All Might's demise, and thats coming from his successor. You're one of the strongest people I have ever met, and sometimes you need to let yourself be weak so you can be stronger." Midoryia says and Bakugo grabs a handful of his shirt tightly.

"I can never fully calm down from this shit." He says tensely and Midoryia's heart tugs. He's gone through this alone before... a lot. "Once you feel like you can't cry anymore, we can go for a run or spar. No one would think oddly of it, we fight all the time." Midoryia says and Bakugo nods.

"We'll be the best heroes in history, even if I have to work with you."
