My Healer Academia (Bakugo x OC x Todoroki)

Origin

Deku

               "Are you okay?" Down on all fours, Ai hovered over the burnt boy sprawled flat on his back in front of her. Despite the pain, he was still able to freak out about the proximity of their faces, torso shooting straight up as he retreated backwards on his hands, bum and feet. Surprised yet oblivious, she followed suit. "Don't move around so much! You're hurt." The concern in her voice calmed the boy down, and when she closed the distance once more, he didn't run away. She placed a hand on his forehead, and almost immediately, a warmth embraced his body that contrasted that of the attacks he faced earlier from his peers.

               "Healing... quirk?" The boy questioned, witnessing as the inflammation on his exposed skin reverted until he was no longer red. Ai pulled her hand back and smiled at her work.

               "Something like that," she responded. "Cell regeneration is what my auntie told me it was called." Ai leaned back to sit on the ground, the two children staring at each other from a minimal distance. It was weird, because normally Ai was too shy to approach anyone, but with this boy... she felt comfortable.

               "Whoa," the boy whispered, but then his voice suddenly changed in volume. "That's so cool!" It caught Ai off guard, more so when he sprung forward and grabbed her hands in his. "You restored my health so quickly – I feel as if I'm back at 100%! And it didn't even seem like it took you any effort at all. That's amazing – u... um..." It was then that this boy had realized that he had no idea what his healer's name was, nor did he realize that his exclamation caused Ai's face to flush. Though that may be since his own face flushed when he saw the position that the two were in. "I-I'm so sorry! I acted without thinking... I don't even know your name and h-here I am-" Just as he began retracting his grip, he was pulled back by the very same hands he grabbed.

               "Ai Shuzenji." Her voice was calm, but the sparkle in her eyes and the smile on her face brought to light the overwhelming happiness she felt in that moment. "And you?"

               "I-Izuku... Midoriya." He felt like he was going to pass out. From the brightness of her demeanor to her soft hands... It felt like something out of a romance movie! Only when her grip tightened was he pulled out of his thoughts and back to reality.

               "Ah... Nice to meet you, Midoriya-kun!" That was the cherry on top. Any second now young Midoriya felt as if his soul would leave his body until he heard her voice again. "I saw what you tried to do for that kid... The one who was crying earlier." His bashfulness gradually subsided as she continued to speak. "That was really brave of you, Midoriya-kun. You acted like – like a true hero!" Those were the very first words of encouragement that quirkless Midoriya heard for his dream. Not yet knowing of his future encounter with All Might, he could feel the hot tears pouring down his cheeks. Ai couldn't help but smile. It made her heart warm. "Let's do our best to become heroes together, okay?"

               Midoriya reciprocated the strength in which Ai gripped his hands, pulling away only one arm to wipe his face as they grinned at each other. "Y-Yes... Let's do our best, Ai-chan!"

Bakugo

               "I'm not gonna be stuck at the bottom with the rest of these rejects!" The classroom raged in retaliation, and all except for two were complaining of the harsh title that Katsuki Bakugo had just given them. Midoriya and Ai sat near the back of the classroom, quietly listening and not daring to speak out against their intimidating peer.

               "Oh, if I remember correctly, you want to go to UA High, right, Bakugo," the teacher questioned. Most of the students were surprised to hear his choice, which was ranked at the top 0.2% in the nation that year.
