Heartbeat - BakuDeku /Fluff/

'Thump Thump'

That was the first of many.

Midoriya will always remember that unforgettable moment when his young heart first started pounding, as if it wanted to break free from his chest. At such a young age he was unable to comprehend the rush of emotions surging through him, however, one thing was clear to him and that was that whatever this feeling was it was caused by his one and only friend Bakugou Katsuki. Mesmerized and awestruck, little Midoriya found himself gazing in admiration at the presence of Bakugou, marking the beginning of a unique bond between the two future heroes.

The two of them, Bakugou and Midoriya, were having a playdate just like they did every day during their childhood years. Playing their favorite game, hero, Of course, Bakugou was amazing at it, at least from little Midoriya's perspective. As they dashed up the grassy hill, Midoriya tripped, causing him to fall on the ground. Without hesitation, Bakugou swiftly rushed to his friend's side, extending a helping hand to lift Midoriya back on his feet. Such genuine acts of kindness and heroism truly defined their playdates and friendship.

"Izuku are you okay?"

Midoriya cried, feeling the warmth of tears trickling down his cheeks and soaking into the fabric of his shirt. The pain from the tumble was bearable, but the real sting came from the realization that their playdate would be cut short. He loved playing with Bakugou.

"Don't cry Izuku, where did you hurt yourself?"

"M-My knees... a-and my hands"

As Bakugou gently scrubbed the dirt off Midoriya's knees, he saw that Midoriya's injuries were merely superficial, with no real harm. Moving on to Midoriya's hands, Bakugou carefully cleaned off the dirt. Unexpectedly, in a tender gesture Bakugou pressed a gentle kiss on Midoriya's hands, embodying a sense of comfort and reassurance.

'Thump Thump'

That's how his first heart heartbeat went.

As time passed, Midoriya found himself struggling to keep track of how many times his heartbeat was in Bakugou's presence. His heart began to beat more frequently when he saw Bakugou, but as they grew older, their once-close relationship became more apart and Midoriya's heartbeat would lessen. Their paths diverged, and Bakugou's actions and words drove a wedge between them, causing Midoriya's once steady heartbeat to falter and waver. Looking back on their middle school days, Midoriya couldn't recall a single instance where his heart skipped a beat for Bakugou. During that period, he was overwhelmed by sadness and struggled with numerous challenges that made it one of the most difficult times he had ever faced in his life. The worst part of it was that it was partially caused by Bakugou.

As they arrived at UA, everything felt the same between them - Bakugou's fiery outbursts aimed at Midoriya remained unchanged, leading to the usual conflicts and disagreements between the two. Despite Bakugou's consistent anger, there was a subtle shift over time. Their interactions evolved, leading to unexpected moments of understanding and shared secrets between them. Midoriya found himself feeling happier because of this. And just when things seemed to be setting in a comfortable situation, it happened again.

Bakugou and Midoriya were talking as they walked side by side towards the dorms. Suddenly, Midoriya shifted his gaze towards Bakugou, captivated by his unexpected expression. Bakugou was actually smiling - a rare sight that filled the scene with a unique sense of wonder. Even though Bakugou was usually harsh, this time his smile flowed with a mesmerizing aura that made Midoriya gasp. Bakugou rarely showed such warmth, but when he did, it was truly magnificent, which is why the scene was so remarkable.
