Singing Soulmate AU (Bakugo)

My life has been...okay. Not the best. I could definitely have turned into a villain if I wanted too but instead decided to become a hero. Currently, I was at school. Classes were boring except for my hero training class. I went through the motions for the rest of the day until that class rolled around. I walked into the gym in my pe clothes and stood around with some of my other classmates. I wasn't a very social person but there were a few people that would stand with me. Once our teacher walked in we all grew silent so we could hear what our training would entail.
"Today we will be combining with the other hero class so you can each practice sparring with someone new. I have already decided your pairs which are listed on the wall over there."
Everyone rushed over to the list to see who they would be fighting before the other class even walked in. I patiently waited my turn, like always, and soon enough was able to scan the list. My eyes trailed down until I saw my name. My partner was the last person I wanted to fight. Madi. My abuser. The one only a few people knew about. I should have asked the teacher to switch me with someone else but my anxiety took over.
The other class came into the gym and we all went to the soccer field together.
Madison came up to me and punched me in the arm. I scowled at her and said, "The fights haven't begun."
"I don't care. i was just trying to be playful."
I had broken off our friendship already because of this but she wanted to be friends again not too long after. I don't know why though. I called her out pretty hard.

-Time skip cause I'm lazy-

What had started off as a good day had turned terrible. I had beaten Madi in every round except for the last one. She got pissed and didn't hold back at all. She crossed the line and ended up deadening one of my arms and making me limp. the teachers had to intervene. But her only punishment was a weeks worth of suspension.
When I got to my car at the end of the day I sat there for a minute and let my predicament fully wash over me. I turned on my I'm Alone and Sad playlist and blared it through my speakers. Before anyone could come up to my car and ask what was wrong I drove out of the parking lot and to a quiet parking lot. I sang along to all of the songs and until I could finally breath normally.
"Shit...sorry soulmate."
I had temporarily forgotten about the whole "soulmate can hear you sing" magic. I had only really heard my soulmate sing a few times in my life. Most of the time it was humming. But when he sang it sounded like angels. Even if he wasn't very good it still felt really nice to know that I had someone out there for me.
the thing that scared me was I didn't know if I would ever find him. I knew quite a few people that had started dating someone who wasn't their soulmate and fell in love with them instead. I knew it was a possibility that my soulmate wouldn't care for me.
I felt the tears begin to slide down my face once again as I put on my heartbreak playlist. I occasionally sang along softly so I wouldn't bother my soulmate too much.
When I finally went home and stopped singing I started to calm down. I hid my injuries as best as I could from my family and went to hide in my room.
That's when it happened. I heard him. He was singing. Very quietly but he was singing. He sang I Will Leave A Light On. And I began crying once again.

Bakugo POV:
She was singing again. She had gotten hurt again. Over the years of hearing her voice I knew that there was someone close to her that was hurting her. I had been the same with Deku but was able to overcome those feelings of hate and stop hurting him. I regret my actions and have been trying to help him instead to repay for what I've done. But my soulmate was hurt. She was singing all of her favorite sad songs about hurt and loss. I was in my room lying in bed so I was able to focus on every note that came from her mouth.
Then there was a pause.
And then she sang about heartbreak. She was losing hope again. She didn't believe in me. That I wouldn't find her. That she would be alone. Tears pricked at my eyes knowing that she felt this way. One of the reasons I was fighting to become a hero was to be able to find her. So I could bet her hero.
I heard her voice break on the last phrase she sang before there was silence. I knew English songs because of her. I knew she was somewhere in America. But I knew what song would help her the most right now. What song would let me tell her that I wasn't going to give up on her.
So I sang it.
And I knew she was crying again.
