{BakuDeku Au} ~Arc One//Complete~
~Arc Two//Complete~
He finally did it. After blood, sweat, and a shit ton of tears...Izuku Midoriya is now the number one pro hero in Japan. Amazing, right? It's been a few years since he became number one pro, he's 24 now- pro life is going great.
That is until he gets badly injured in a previous fight, now Uraraka thinks it would be best for him to have a partner until he learns 'Self-care'. Except his partner happens to be Katsuki Bakugo, the number two hero in Japan.
What could go wrong?------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Excerpt below
"The doctor said you got lucky enough to survive the attack- what the hell were you thinking?!" Uraraka asked, her jaw clenching.
"I- I wasn't." His voice was hoarse, cracking a few times as he spoke. "It was either face Shigaraki or let hundreds of- of civilians die. What was I supposed to do?" He defended, letting his eyes narrow into slits.
"Wait. For. Backup. We were only a few minutes away!" She huffed, sleepily rubbing the dark circles under her eyes.
"And how many people would have died in those few minutes Uraraka?" Izuku retorted.
She sighed, he was right. He was always right, there's just no use in arguing with him- because he's just going to keep doing it again and again. Izuku is the number one hero after all. An idea rose to mind, it was fairly terrible...but it seemed like the only option.
"Look," Uraraka started, lightly grabbing his free hand into hers, "I get it, a lot of people could have gotten hurt- and thanks to you they didn't."
"But?" Izuku raised.
"But, just because you're a pro doesn't mean you go head first into danger- especially with a wanted villain, without some type of backup! So...I think you need a partner." She cringed back at the end, knowing he wasn't going to like the idea in the slightest bit.
"What was the point of talking if you weren't listening all these years?"
Katsuki Bakugo, number two pro hero, was pronounced dead. He'd been missing for a little over a year when it was official, but Izuku couldn't bring himself to terms with it.
Not completely, at least.
Through the help of his friends and comrades, he'd finally managed to somewhat grow out of a shell of despair. He had to.
For the sake of those whom Katsuki left behind, as well as the rest of humanity.
All of these things considered, Izuku's 'new' life came to an abrupt halt, when he was informed of something concerning Katsuki and the other Pros and civilians who went missing...
Something, he just wasn't about ready to believe.
