Kirishima is hit by a quirk that leaves him fully aware, but completely unable to move. His friends make it a little bit better. (Note: I originally posted this story on AO3 in Oct. 2018. It was reposted here without my permission in April 2019, and has since been removed. If it appears familiar, that's why.)

Bakugou isn't the best at articulating his feelings, by anyone's standards. After one drunken night of not being able to hold himself back, he sends a long and detailed text to his best friend that accidentally reveals a lot more than he initially meant to let out. > No quirks. > Lots of swearing. -- I do not own bnha or any of the characters mentioned --

Katsuki was really sick of the taste of flowers.

... It wasn't that he was annoyed. Okay, maybe he was a little annoyed, but that was because a certain explosive punk decided to test the flammability of his sheets at 2 in the morning. Every single morning. (In which Bakugou's quirk wakes Kirishima up, and Kirishima gets way too invested in his bro's well-being.) **NOW REVISED AS OF 1/2/2023**

BakuDeku: a soulmate and music au "I hear a voice a' calling, telling me to risk it Asking if I have been going the distance Singing with a passion that I cannot deny My eyes are swollen with the tears that I've been crying But, to the rest of the world, ever-smiling Singing for the courage that I'm dying to show! With my peace sign up when I say goodbye Write a story of a hero! With my peace sign up when I say goodbye Write a story of a hero!" We stood there in silence, taking a moment to breathe as I gently placed my guitar on its stand. I saw Kacchan place his drum sticks on top of the drum before stretching his arms out. "Kacchan?" I started as I watched him sighed in satisfaction once his arms pop. "Yeah?" He groans as he dropped his arms down, now looking at me with a side smirk as he crossed his arms. "Kacchan... you're my soulmate?" . . . I don't own BNHA/MHA, only the fanfic.

In a world where everyone has a soulmate, Kirishima is convinced he doesn't. Still, he leaves notes and messages in the hopes they'll be returned. Bakugo, on the other hand, dismisses his soulmate. After all, if you want to become a hero, you can't have distractions like that. Yet when Bakugo and Kirishima are allocated rooms together, secrets are revealed and feelings are ripped wide, wide open.
