The combined force of their will overpowers Dr. Akari's manipulation.  The emotional static dissipates, replaced by a surge of determination.  Izuku and Bakugou, their bond strengthened by the ordeal, face Dr. Akari as a united front.
A collective gasp escaped their lips.  The training room shimmered back into focus.  Dr. Akari, her mask of serenity shattered, stared at them with a mixture of disbelief and fear.

"Y-you shouldn't be able to resist," she stammered, her voice cracking.
"We can," Bakugou growled, his crimson eyes blazing.  "Our teamwork isn't just about power, it's about trust.  And we trust each other to overcome any obstacle, even a rigged therapist." A surge of respect, grudging but undeniable, flickered across Izuku's face.  They had faced their vulnerability and emerged stronger, their connection a potent weapon fueled by both power and understanding.

As the heroes secured Dr. Akari, their eyes met for a beat longer than usual.  In that shared glance, a new emotion flickered  –  was it admiration?  Perhaps even a hint of something more?  The intense experience had stripped away some of their usual bravado, leaving a raw vulnerability beneath the surface. Suddenly, the gravity of the situation broke the spell.  An alarm blared, signaling the arrival of reinforcements alerted by the energy surge during the battle.

With a playful smirk, Bakugou ruffled Izuku's hair – a gesture that would have sparked outrage in the past, but now earned him a surprised blush.  "Later, Deku.  Let's wrap this up so we can avoid Recovery Girl's torture session."
Izuku stammered a reply, his heart pounding in his chest.  The news of their victory spread like wildfire through U.A., sparking whispers of a "heroic bond" and a "synchronized duo."  Little did they know, the true test of their connection was yet to come, but now, it would be a test they faced not just as rivals, but perhaps as something more....

Authors note:
Hi! If you're reading this far, thanks! But seriously, Bakugo & Midoriya should get real therapy. They need it. A little bit about me is that, i've always had a bit of a passion for writing. Not specifically fan fictions. But that's what you're gonna be finding on my page, you're probably only gonna see me make Bakudeku fanfics.
