secret they're keeping

Izuku was rushing home in an attempt to escape the incessant questions he knew bakugo had for him, to no avail. the concrete maze of the city centre washed around him, calming him before the incoming storm of his own mistakes. he had hidden some crazy things from his best friend before but from the look on Bakugo's face when he had left that shipping container, he was genuinely hurt by Izuku's actions.

"Hey Deku, want to explain what the ever-living fuck just went down there?" bakugo yelled

"Listen, because this is going to be a lot to take in. A few months ago, I was approached by some other quirkless people asking for a few minutes of my time, turns out they had found one of my analysis books and they thought that I had potential. eventually, I was made a full member and was later asked to run the day to day dealings and management of mightless with the idea of making me the leader of it one day, as the current leader is on her deathbed I decided that it would be best if I made a few of our competing gangs affiliated with us to the sort of degree that I can stop the violence between our two groups and start an alliance between us. it's a good idea if they agree with it" izuku replied

"in other words, you lead a gang of powerless weaklings because you are just that smart. you know, that makes more sense to me than I imagined it would. but you know you could have told me, right. I'm on board with most of your schemes and shit, this is no different, there was no reason to hide this from me"

"yeh, I know man, but it's still difficult to explain and make sure there won't be any kickback from others in the group. I didn't know if you would even be allowed to help or anything, the strongest quirks we allow are weak enhancement quirks" izuku said, voice completely solemn

"I know, but I'd still be willing to fake quirklesness for you if you need ed some help. hell, I'd infiltrate another gang for you man. but I sort of get it ya know, you wanted to protect me and inko and my mum too, you always did prioritise others before yourself way too much. just as long we're still going to be heroes together, king explosion murder and the emerald flash, right" bakugo said, nervous of Izuku's answer here

"of course, man, that's always been our dream, I wouldn't give that up for anything. we are gonna make every villain cower at our names so much they won't bother committing crimes, with your power and my brain, we won't ever lose." izuku grinned at bakugo, his childish innocence showing through in spite of the mood that had been tense until that moment

bakugo put his arm around Izuku's shoulder and they discussed how they were going to explain the massive scrapes and grazes they both had to their parents along with the crazy shit that izuku had managed to do without bakugo and all the close calls he had had without him. izuku made a promise to himself there and then, that he and bakugo were brothers and he should respect him and they should help each other whenever they could, just as bakugo was already doing for him.

TIMESKIP TO A FEW MINUTES LATER

"Oh my god, Izuku! What happened to you?" Inko fussed over Izuku's scrapes and injuries not even noticing Bakugou. "Katsuki! What the hell did you do?! I swear to god, you're nothing but trouble!" Mitsuki slapped Bakugou on the head but he could tell just by looking at her that she was really worried about both Izuku and him.

"I'm okay, mom. We ran into a street fight. It was really scary!" Izuku put on his innocent act. Only then Bakugou realized how good of an actor he truly was. "As long as you're both safe! Go wash up, change your clothes and then come down to eat dinner with me and Mitsuki. You too Katsuki." Inko pecked her son on the cheek before nudging him to get Katsuki and go upstairs to his room. "Come on, Kacchan! I'll lend you some of my clothes!" Izuku said as he grabbed his friend's hand and ran upstairs.

"hey, izuku, how did you manage to keep that sort of a secret from people man" bakugo said once they had successfully retreated into Izuku's room

"pretty simple, acting whenever you are around people so you come across as exactly what they expect you to be basically makes everyone think you're boring and don't have anything to hide. having said that, it's also probably why I have so little friends"

" izuku, that's far too deep for a Wednesday evening, let's grab a change of clothes and hold out for your mums cooking and then talk, that ok with you?"

"yep"

So, the boys went downstairs and dodged a scolding from their parents for being reckless and not waiting for the danger to pass before trying to get home. Then ate some of mama Midoriya's phenomenal katsudon and went back to Izuku's room to talk over what they wanted to do about the current situation and after lots of deliberation, bakugo couldn't join mightless but he could definitely help him to ensure their newly found acquaintances rose to the top of their respective factions so he could perfect peace into an autonomous cycle that prevented crime and halted it if it couldn't be prevented. Once he had united the factions and forced the heroes and government to acknowledge them as a more efficient and effective crime prevention force then izuku would finally feel that he was a true hero. Bakugo was amazed at how izuku planned to do it but was completely confident in his friend's abilities and had complete faith in Izuku's meticulous planning and flawless reasoning skills, that sentiment wasn't shared by izuku.

Until Saturday...
