MHA - Weak Without You

Chapter 1

Katsuki kicked behind Izuku's shoes as they both walked to UA, Izuku trying to walk faster or put himself behind Bakugou or out of his way, but it was almost impossible.

"Kacchan, would you please stop kicking me?" Izuku then asked. It couldn't possibly hurt to ask.

"Shut up! I'm having fun!" Bakugou replied.

Izuku rolled his eyes. It was almost every day that Bakugou would do this to him, especially since they didn't live very far apart from each other, they had always walked to school together. It was now getting annoying, no matter how hard Izuku tried to be his friend.

Then, Izuku decided he had enough. He began running, but sighed when he realized Bakugou would just run after him, kicking rocks and sands at the back of his feet.

This would never end, would it?

This is going to be a long trip to school. Oh, boy, another long day. Izuku thought.

When they finally arrived at school, Izuku immediately ran inside, past his friends, as they looked at him confused.

"Not saying hi to me again? I guess Bakugou did it again" Uraraka guessed, feeling sad.

Iida put a comforting hand on her shoulder, smiling at her. "It'll be okay, he always comes back to us later" he said.

Uraraka smiled at him before they both went inside together, everyone following and all going to class.

Bakugou lazily sat down in his seat, not having anyone to talk to like the others did. Then, he saw Kirishima coming towards him, arms behind his back, grin on his face.

"Hey Bakugou! I have something for you!" He announced, now stopping by Bakugou's desk.

"What, shitty hair?" Bakugou questioned, rolling his eyes.

"Well, I saw this, and thought of you..." Eijiro started, then placed a small plant on Bakugou's desk, pointed spikes coming from it.

"What the hell is that?!" Bakugou asked, staring at the spiked plant.

"It's a cactus! See, it made me think of you because just like this cactus...well...hmm" Kirishima paused to think of what he was going to say, frowning.

Bakugou crossed his arms and stared at him as he waited impatiently.

Then, Kirishima smiled and looked at him again.

"It reminded me of you because...he is spiky, hard, and rough on the outside...but on the inside, only a few small people can see the good part of him. You're rough, you're spiky, you enjoy blowing things up, that's your personality, but you're kind on the inside, and you're a soul crying on the inside for help. I see it, Bakugou, and I care, and I like everything about you" he explained.

Bakugou widened his eyes, for once in his life thinking deeply about what he said. He then stared back at the cactus in front of him. Then, he thought about fights he had at home, then fights he had with his friends, that now he wasn't sure if he was even their friend, the way he treated them.

But the way he treated them, was the way his mother sometimes treated him.

Why?

Why was he like this?

Kirishima is right! He was a soul crying for help on the inside!

But could've he himself realized that?

Only Kirishima, his best friend, was the first and only one to realize it about him, to notice.

Bakugou looked back at Kirishima's smiling face and slightly smiled back.

"Thanks..." He said.

Kirishima blushed and grinned.

"Sure thing, bro!" He said.

On the walk back home, Izuku kept looking behind him at Bakugou, making sure the guy holding a cactus wouldn't throw the plant at him or kick him or anything.

But Izuku noticed that ever since Aizawa's class, Katsuki had been acting strange, keeping a close eye on the said cactus he carried around with him after it was given to him by his best friend.

Why was he acting different? Izuku wondered. What made him change? Who?

Izuku then bravely made his way next to the blonde and cleared his throat.

"K-Kacchan? You're acting differently, you haven't looked away from that cactus ever since Kiri gave it to you, or put it down. Is everything okay?" He questioned.

Bakugou sighed and smiled, now looking at Izuku, as Izuku looked at him back, shocked, as he never seen this side of Bakugou very often.

"He said he notices me, Deku! He notices me when no one else does!"

Izuku then grinned at the idea that he came with as to why Bakugou was acting calm.

"Kacchan, do you ever think you maybe have feelings for Kirishima more than just friends?" He asked.

Bakugou frowned and looked back at his cactus.

"Shut up! It's not like I have a crush on him and wish he always noticed me every day and my wish came true today! Not like that at all! And I'm not letting go of this cactus!" He shouted, walking off past Izuku.

Izuku chuckled as he watched Bakugou walk the rest of the way home.

"He likes him" he whispered to himself, chuckling again.

"I wonder if Kirishima likes him too?" He then wondered to himself, making his way to his house.
