I'll Come Back For You | DekuBaku | Fem!Bakugou

Katsuki Bakugou was a Tribal Princess.

Izuku Midoriya was an adventurer from a village in a neighboring kingdom.

The two met when they were only four in the forest surrounding Katsuki's tribe. Izuku had wandered too far after being chased by bullies from his village and she had found him crying huddled up against the trunk of a tree covered in dirt and leaves. They'd become friends quickly after their encounter, meeting up at the border of the two lands to play.

She never told him that she was a princess, only finding out when one of her guards followed her. The guard had taken them both to face the Chief and Chiefess; Katsuki's parents. They allowed him to roam their grounds freely and be friends with their daughter seeing as he meant no harm.

When they turned ten they made a promise to marry when they were of age. Katsuki told her parents and she was then told he would have to partake in the trials to prove he was a worthy mate. When she told Izuku, he did his digging on what the trials were before heading out at fifteen to become an adventurer and would come back in five years' time on her twenty birthday. She told her parents this and they would postpone the trials until then but if he didn't show they would continue without him.

Izuku promised he would return and gave her a gift to remember him by. She could only hope he came through with that promise, not hearing a word from him since then.
