Book 1: Beyond The Blast (Bkdk)

The Spark Ignites

The training ground bathed in moonlight becomes an intimate stage for Midoriya and Bakugo's long-awaited conversation. Gone is the awkwardness of the previous days, replaced by a tense anticipation that crackles between them." It's about the rumors," Midoriya starts, his voice firm yet laced with a hint of nervousness. "We can't let them control our actions or our feelings."

Bakugo scoffs, crossing his arms. "As if I care what a bunch of extras think."
Despite his bravado, Midoriya senses a flicker of vulnerability in his eyes. "Maybe not," he concedes, "but these feelings... they're real, Kacchan. And we can't just ignore them." Bakugo remains silent for a moment, his gaze fixed on the distant city lights. The memory of their kiss under the fireworks dances at the edge of his mind, a spark that refuses to be extinguished.
"I know," he finally mutters, his voice barely a whisper.

"Since the memories came back, it's been... confusing. You, me, us..." He trails off, frustration simmering beneath his explosive exterior. Midoriya understands his struggle. Their past rivalry casts a long shadow, and the sudden shift in their dynamic feels like uncharted territory. Yet, there's something undeniable between them, a connection forged in the crucible of their amnesia.

"We don't have to define it right now," Midoriya offers gently. "But can we at least... explore it?" Bakugo hesitates, a muscle ticking in his jaw. He remembers the thrill of their synchronized training sessions, the way their quirks complemented each other perfectly. He remembers the warmth of Midoriya's lips against his own, a spark that ignited something new within him.

"Fine," he grunts, a hint of a blush creeping across his cheeks. "But don't expect me to turn into some love-sick fool, Deku." Midoriya can't help but smile. "Wouldn't dream of it, Kacchan."
The tension dissipates, replaced by a tentative understanding. They may not have all the answers, but they're willing to take a leap of faith together.

As they stand there, bathed in the gentle moonlight, a new chapter unfolds in their story. They're not just rivals or partners anymore; they're on the precipice of something more, a love story forged in the unlikeliest of circumstances.
The road ahead won't be easy. The whispers of their classmates and the shadows of their past will continue to linger.

But with each shared training session, each stolen glance, and each whispered secret, their bond deepens. They're learning to navigate the uncharted territory of their hearts, proving that sometimes, the most profound connections can bloom in the most unexpected places.
