Imaginary Friend (BakuDeku University AU)

Growing up, Katsuki Bakugo had an imaginary friend. Both of his parents were well off fashion designers. Constant business trips, meetings, and international travel took up a lot of their time. Katsuki had a hard time making friends, and found himself lonely. He had many brilliant ideas, and the personality of a great leader, even as a kid, but lacked the confidence.

His imaginary friend was kind, and encouraging. He was a boy around Katsuki's age, with curly, green locks, green eyes, and a freckle covered face. He called the boy, Deku, and he would call him Kacchan. His kind hearted smile always made Katsuki feel better, no matter what kind of day he was having.

Eventually, his parents became worried about Katsuki's lack of friends, and tried to enroll him in sports. They let him try anything he wanted to see what would stick. Football ended up being his all time favorite. Being a part of a team, finally started to give Katsuki that confidence he was lacking. And soon after, he started seeing less and less of his green haired friend.

However, the fun didn't last. By the time high school was coming to an end, he started to realize some of these friends he made, weren't really there for him. They liked his money, the fact that his parents let him throw parties whenever he wanted, and they just saw him has some jock. When Katsuki received a scholarship to play football on the other side of the country, he was ecstatic. Finally, to be somewhere that no one knew him, they didn't know him for his money. Maybe he could actually make some real friends.

When he walked into the library on his second day of university, he was stopped in his tracks. Katsuki swore he must have been imagining things again, when he came across a guy surrounded by books, with dark, curly green hair.
