Pantie Panic

Promise of Forever

After over a year, we're at the final chapter of Pantie Panic!

I know many of you have been waiting patiently for this and I'll be honest, 2020 was rough for me; I lost a lot of my writing spirit, so I ended up turning to my art to hopefully get some of that passion back, and I think it worked to some degree.

Thank you to everyone that has stuck with me through everything, I truly appreciate your patience and support, and I hope that the ending to this story is just as captivating as previous chapters have been.

Deku couldn't remember how he'd gotten there, couldn't fathom how he'd been laying next to Kaminari one moment, and had woken up on the roof the next. Any memories between then and now were completely gone; like a college student getting blackout drunk at a frat party, he had no idea what had happened or if he had done something stupid to end up here. It was so windy on the rooftop, Deku's hair blowing every which way and tousled green locks whipping against his cheeks briefly before the breeze settled down a bit.

The sound of someone clearing their throat behind him had him reflexively on his feet in a split second, fists raised and green lightning crackling all over his body as his quirk activated in preparation to fight.

"So you finally woke up...I was starting to think I was gonna have to kick you."

Deku's eyes widened slightly as he realized that it was Bakugou talking to him, those red irises boring into him like he was some disgusting, flea-ridden mutt.

"Kacchan, what- " Deku glanced around confusedly. "Why are we on the roof of the dorms?"

"I brought you here, you idiot." Bakugou said coldly. "Why did you kill Kirishima?"

Deku looked taken aback by the sudden accusation, his fighting posture still up but his quirk no longer activated.

"I didn't kill him, Kacchan, you know I didn't...." he said quietly.

"You expect me to believe that when you were the last person with him?!" Bakugou asked, gritting his teeth as he set off a small explosion. "You're working with the villains, aren't you? You're the UA traitor, aren't you?!"

"K-Kacchan, no!" Deku protested, putting his hands up in a show of submission. "Why are you acting like this? You know me! You know I would never join the villains, and I would definitely never hurt Kirishima! I don't know what's going on, okay? Nobody does! Just....just calm down, please!"

Bakugou stomped his way over to the freckled boy, swiftly grabbing him by the throat and squeezing just hard enough to show that he meant business.

"You've always been a fucking useless idiot, Deku..." he sneered.

Deku clawed at the hand around his throat, panic washing over him like one of Todoroki's flash freezes. What the hell had gotten into Bakugou?! This wasn't like him at all!

"Kacchan, stop it! You're better than this!" Deku said, trying to diffuse the situation as best he could, considering that his childhood friend could very easily blow his head off right now. "I know you're upset about what happened, I'm upset too! Kirishima and I had just started a relationship and then he was taken from me only a moment later! You don't think I'm hurting too? We're all confused, nothing is making any sense- nothing is....how did you bring me here without me knowing?! I don't even know if anything is real anymore! Tell me, Kacchan! Is anything real? Am I going crazy?! Did I lose it when I lost Kirishima?!"

Bakugou's cold gaze slowly shifted into a psychotic grin, hand tightening the grip around Deku's neck and lifting him up into the air until the boy was gasping and writhing helplessly to try to escape, feet kicking the air uselessly as if Deku were only a mere, quirkless child again. Suddenly he dropped Deku and took a step back, watching him cough and try to catch his breath.
