There has always been an unspoken war between two heroes, Shoto Todoroki and Katsuki Bakugou. But when the stakes are as high as humanly possible, they need to gear up and give it their all to win the Fight Of The Millennium. Will the heroes save the day and earn the prize? And what will be the ultimate cost? A/N: I didn't feel like this story should be sitting with my 'MHA One shots, POVs and Other Bakugou-Centred Stuff' because it does ring a different tone, so I'm posting it as a standalone short. If you're new here and you like Bakugou-centred angst, check out my "27 and Counting - Adult Katsuki Bakugou" and "MHA One shots, POVs and Other Bakugou-Centred Stuff". If you already know my writing, you generally know what to expect <3 DISCLAIMER: I do not own BNHA/MHA, any of its characters.

27-years old Katsuki Bakugou has come a long way since the beginning of his path toward the Number One Hero. However, he's not exactly where he thought he would be. He learns in a hard way that being hero isn't only about exploding villains' faces and showing off muscles. That love is difficult to maintain. That others don't always have time for him, life costs, and people, well, die. As he gets a chance to meet his 15-years-old self, proud and ambitious, he looks at himself in the mirror and asks 'Who am I?'. Join Katsuki Bakugou in his life-changing journey through his own life! What will be waiting at the end of this tunnel?! DISCLAIMER: I do not own BNHA/MHA, any of its characters.
