A/N: Hi everyone and welcome to the re-write of Fever!|Deku Catches a Cold| Bkdk! I hope you enjoy this story and be sure to tell me what you think!

Rain poured down in bullets, as wind blew hard on the trees; droopy leaves and weeping skies for as far as the eye could see. In the midst, a familiar crimson shoe sparked ripples in a puddle.

As Izuku ran, he rambled inside his head, viridian locks sticking to his forehead from the sheen rain.

'Ahhhh, it's pouring out here! I should've listened to Uraraka-san and brought an umbrella! Great, now I'm all soaked!'

"Ah!" Izuku yelped, as he stumbled over a particularly obstructive crack in the pavement. Hisses escaped his lips from his now scraped knee, as well as mumbles of frustrations at his now mud-covered trousers. After the exhausting day he's had, the urge to cry was as prominent as ever..

Pushing his sore muscles to run even faster back to UA, Izuku paused for a few minutes to take in a breath, and carried on running.

———-
As the night grew past nine in the night, the classmates of 1-A which remained downstairs waited on Izuku to start the movie night, courtesy of the self-proclaimed Dekusquad.

'That damn need better hurry up, we have school at 8 f*cking am, but I am not going to be the first one to go to bed, like a loser-'

Bakugou cuts his train of thought off as Deku unlocks the main door, panting and soaked to the bone.

"Midobro! Are you alright?!"

"Deku-kun you must be cold!"

"Midoriya, it is unwise to go outside and train for so long in the rain without the proper attire!"

"He probably didn't know it was going to rain, iida-kun, kero"

"Right, apologies for not thinking of that-"

"SHUT THE F*CK UP EXTRAS. YOU, DAMN NERD, JUST HURRY UP AND CHANGE!" Bakugou shouts, extremely irritated at all the chatter.

"Right Kacchan! Thanks for the concern everyone but I'll be fine! A little bit of cold and rain can't stop me, but enjoy whatever it is you guys are doing-is it a movie night?"

With the chaos the students had made, the shock of Midoriya's sharp observance was apparent on many of his friend's faces.

Unintentionally yawning, Midoriya said his farewells and retreated towards the elevator, evidently attempting to not leave a trail of water behind.

"Night Deku-kun!"

"Yea, please get the appropriate amount of rest!"

"Night bro!"

Flashing his signature smile, eye bags more apparent than ever, Midoriya went inside the elevator and up to his floor.

'Overworking himself again, the garbage-haired bastard. How is he gonna beat me if he's tired to the point of collapsing. Tsk, always me to pick up his slack' Bakugou scowled.

—————-
Taking a quick shower, dressing into comfortable pyjamas and collapsing onto his bed, Izuku reaches to turn on Present Mic's radio as per usual despite his body screaming out in protest.

Midoriya ignores his body anyways.

Strangely, Midoriya shivers despite him now being dry and clean, however he chalks it up to his exhaustion and fades into unconsciousness, Present Mic's introduction still playing through his earbuds and snuggling into his extra blanket.
——————-
As Iida wanders around the kitchen, he frowns at the absence of Midoriya: he was usually the earlier ones to wake up and they typically walked to school together, 20 minutes before lessons began. The frowns on Deku's close friends and Bakugou inferred they had come to the same concern.

Bakugou will admit that he is worried, as he is not a loser. Never was, never will be.

He was slightly worried, because after all, his childhood friend had never missed a single day of school ever since the one occasion during primary school and that was because Aunt Inko had to go to the hospital due to her choking on something.

Every appointment that Bakugou knew of, Midoriya had changed it to a weekend or a holiday. He'd even go to the extent of running the half an hour to Junior High despite a car crash occurring in front of him.

So yes, Bakugou had reasons to be concerned.

Noticing the reluctance of Midoriya's friends, Bakugou stormed up to the elevator, and aggressively clicked the button up to floor 2.

"Hey bakubro, where you going?" Kirishima asked, peering from his spot on the couch

"To see if the damn nerd has died yet" Bakugou grumbled offhandedly

"Wow, that's a cold way to put it" Kaminari smirked mischievously

"Awww Bakugou has a soft spot for Midoriya~" Mina teases.

Katsuki, as he would say, wouldn't be embarrassed by something so absurd. He would instead, furious.

"WHAT DID U SAY RACOON EYES?!" Bakugou yelled

"Haha, we know you like him, go check on your one and only~"

"GRRRRRRR"

Deciding to roll his eyes in annoyance, Katsuki ignored the playful snickering behind him and went towards Deku's dorm- locked.

"Oi need, open up."

Silence reigned.

"OI NERD, OPEN THE F*CK UP!"

A dreading feeling bounces in Katsuki's stomach and he can't help but gulp nervously. Was this... concern-?

Katsuki shook his head violently, shaking off all inquiries about such thing and pressed his face to the door, trying to hear the slightest noise.

"K-Kacchan..."

There's the briefest call of his name, the sound strained and seemingly in pain, followed by a whimper but Bakugou heard it alright, and blasted the door knob open.
