I Met Him In The Wastelands | A BakuDeku Story |

Eleven | Katsuki and Kirishima's Friends

Kirishima smiled as he walked ahead of Izuku and Katsuki to a house just outside of a larger town, well larger than the others. As they neared the house Kirishima started skipping, Katsuki just groaned while Izuku just chuckled at the redhead. "I regret this," Katsuki said while rubbing his forehead.

"Hm? Why's that?" Izuku asked while he looked up at the blonde boy he was walking with.

"Oh... you'll see," he said in an annoyed tone of voice.

Kirishima knocked on the door and waited impatiently, his weight shifted between each foot. Izuku walked up to Kirishima and placed a hand on his shoulder, the redhead just smiled at the greenette. The door soon opened to reveal a boy with black hair and a wide toothy smile, "Eijirou!" the boy shouted.

"Hanta!" Kirishima shouted back as they hugged.

"Wait! Is Ei here?" a shout from somewhere in the house became a part of the conversation.

"Yeah! Denk come here!" the black-haired boy shouted behind him.

Loud footsteps of someone running came from inside the house, the black-haired boy gets shoved to the side as a darker blonde boy hugged Kirishima. "Ei! You're back, Mina is going to be so happy. Come on," the darker blonde boy said as he grabbed Kirishima's hand and dragged him somewhere in the house.

"Kat, good to see you again. I hope you're taking good care of Eijirou," the black-haired boy said while slightly glaring at the blonde.

"Of course I am, you think I can neglect something that won't shut up?" Katsuki said in return as the black-haired boy just nodded.

"Fair, who's this?" he asked while pointing to Izuku.

"Hi, I'm Izuku Midoriya. Nice to meet you," Izuku said as he held a hand out for the black-haired boy to shake.

"You mean the Izuku Midoriya on all the wanted posters?" he asked making the greenette nervous as he started retracting his hand.

"Yeah..." Izuku said while Katsuki just patted his shoulder.

"Well, it's a pleasure meeting you, you'll be a-okay here. I'm Hanta Sero, Denki Kaminari is the blonde you saw earlier. Mina is also here but I bet her and Eijirou are having a hugging competition," Sero said as he grabbed Izuku's hand to shake it.

Izuku smiled while Katsuki shoved him through the doorway, Izuku just chuckled since he was now used to the blonde's behavior. Sero led them to the living, "Take a seat, I'll get us some sandwiches and some lemonade," he said while heading to the kitchen.

Katsuki sat down while getting comfortable he looked at the nervous greenette, "Calm down, everything is fine. I've known these guys for a long time, nothing will happen to you so..." Katsuki paused and pulled Izuku down beside him. "Sit down, relax and enjoy the lemonade and sandwiches that tape face is making us."

"Okay... thank you, Kacchan," Izuku quietly said while he sat oddly close to the blonde boy.

"Why are you thanking me?" he asked as Izuku just looked up at him.

"You've done a lot for me, thanking you is the least I could do or say," Izuku said while he smiled at the blonde. Katsuki stared into the emerald eyes of the greenette, Izuku looked right back into Katsuki's ruby-red eyes. Katsuki's hand slowly moved up to the freckles on Izuku's cheek, his thumb slowly skimmed over them. Izuku blushed slightly, Katsuki noticed this and before doing anything further Sero came back.

"Here you two are, please enjoy before the three come downstairs and eat it all," Sero said as he placed a tray of lemonade and sandwiches on the coffee table in front of the two boys. Katsuki quickly grabbed himself a sandwich and lemonade before grabbing some for the greenette who was clueless. Katsuki gave Izuku the food and drink as the greenette nodded as a sign for thank you, "Okay you three I have sandwiches and lemonade down here!"

Izuku watched as the three upstairs come running down and almost devoured the entire tray of sandwiches and lemonade. Izuku just ate his in peace while mentally thanking Katsuki for what he did, "So, Midoriya. Why'd you take the princess?" Sero asked while Izuku choked on his lemonade. "Oh, shit sorry! I kinda sprung that on you didn't I?" Katsuki patted Izuku's back as he continued to cough.

"It's alright, I didn't take her though... well sorta," Izuku said as all eyes were on him. Every face, except Katsuki's and Kirishima's, looked like they wanted to know more. "Um... how to explain..." Izuku looked at Katsuki who just nudged him. "Well, to put it bluntly, I am the princess and to explain further I uh... met prince Shoto when I was fourteen and from there he took a liking to me. In public he made me dress up like Izumi, it was more his father than Shoto himself. And on the day of the wedding I... ranaway."

The three that didn't know about the greenette's story just looked at Izuku with disbelief. "Here, hold on," Katsuki said as he grabbed Izuku's brown bag and searched through it. Izuku just watched him take out a coin and pendant, "Here, he wouldn't have these if he wasn't marrying into the Todoroki family," Katsuki put the two items on the coffee table.

Sero looked closely at the items, "So, you aren't lying... but why?" Sero asked while looking into Izuku's emerald eyes. He now sees the resemblance between the Izumi and Izuku.

"I... uh, just-" Izuku tried to tell them.

"Leave him be, we just came here after a run-in with that asshole of a prince," Katsuki said while Sero just nodded. Katsuki looked like he wanted to say something but stopped when he saw the darker blonde boy, "What the hell are you wearing Dunce face?"

"What, this?" Kaminari asked while addressing his hat and some of the accessories he was wearing.

"Yes, you look like a fucking pirate knock-off," Katsuki said as Kaminari just smiled.

"Good, that's what I was hoping for," Kaminari said while Katsuki just stared at him in bewilderment.

Katsuki and Kaminari started arguing, nothing serious though. Izuku finally got Katsuki to sit down again, his friends seemed a bit surprised. "Um... how do you all know each other?" Izuku asked to get rid of the awkward silence that started to build up.

"Oh, well... I'm a dragon breeder but when I first met Katsuki it was my parents' business. I took over not too long ago, Eijirou and Mina are both dragons I bred. Eijirou got picked by Kat when his parents brought him... here," Sero's voice faded a bit as he watched Katsuki give him signals with his hands. Sero soon understood, "Kat's dream was to have a dragon which made him steal money and crap to pay for a dragon."

Sero saw Katsuki nod in agreement to what he said, "Mina went to Denk here and then Denk became my... boyfriend leading to them both being here. We all kept in contact because of how close Eijirou and Mina are," Sero said as Izuku nodded.

"That's kinda cute and were you really that desperate for a dragon?" Izuku asked while staring at the blonde beside him. Katsuki rested his arms on the greenette's head, he then put his head on his arms. This made the greenette below him crouch over, "Kacchan?"

"I guess I was..." he said as Izuku just chuckled at his response.

"NO WAY!" Mina shouted as she quickly looked at Kirishima who just smirked at her. "AHHHH! I am shaking in excitement!"

Izuku looked up to the best of his ability to see that the pink girl was smiling in glee, "Why?" he asked innocently.

"AW, he's so cute! Angry pom-pom you should be very happy that you have that little cutey," Mina said as Kirishima started laughing.

"HUH?!" Katsuki yelled as Izuku cover his face to hide the blush that formed.

"What?" Mina said in a cheeky type of tone.

"WE AREN'T TOGETHER!" he yelled at her as she just giggled.

"Not yet," she said as Kirishima high-fived her. Katsuki got off the couch and a quick "oh shit," came from Mina. She stood up and Katsuki started chasing her around, she laughed as the blonde growled.

"She's not wrong though," Kirishima 'whispered' into Kaminari's ear. Katsuki heard the not-so-settle whisper, Katsuki glared at Kirishima. Kirishima just chuckled, "I'm in danger..." he said before standing up and running away, Katsuki followed closely behind.
