Katsuki Bakugou had been born deaf. He didn't remember the world ever sounding any different than it did now-quiet, muffled, and pulsing with a rhythm only he seemed to follow. He could feel vibrations, read lips decently, and use sign language fluently. But words? Words were distant things. Everyone else lived in noise, while he lived in silence.
Izuku didn't stare like the others. Didn't whisper. He just... watched. Not in a creepy way, but with this gentle curiosity, like he wanted to understand. Katsuki caught him looking during homeroom, and then again during introductions, and again when they broke into pairs for quirk assessments.

The Threads Between Us | BakuDeku
COMPLETED!!! Izuku comes home after a long day of teaching, to find a bloodied, half conscious Hero on his doorstep. The man doesn't remember how, or why, he's ended up there. Only that he's searching for something - or someone. Who is Deku and why does that name echo deep in Izuku's mind. A voice lost at sea. And why is he drawn to this stranger with a star shaped eye and a scar resting above his heart? Captivated like a moth to an open flame, ready to burn. A seed of doubt, blind devotion, souls divided. Memories blurring until the connection between them feels far too deep to be new. Cracks in walls, fractures in the foundations, paint peeling off the canvas that is life. And then it all shatters around their feet. A story about finding each other across impossible odds, keeping promises that defy time, and a love strong enough to survive even the cruelest kind of reality.Complete

It's gonna be angsty bois. Sorry. Also told from Katsuki's pov, which is kind of new for me. Also, no quirks! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ We close our eyes, blind our pain Nobody ever could explain All the dead boys in our hometown Katsuki Bakugou moved from his home town when he was ten. He was ten when he moved, so he didn't exactly have anyway to keep in contact with his 'friends'. Eventually they all just seemed to fade into an empty memory. Except for one boy. He couldn't quite remember his name, but he remembered his unruly green hair and obnoxious freckles. Katsuki had no clue why this boy in particular stood out to him, but he was determined to find him again and get to the bottom of it. Now that he was seventeen and moving back to that same little town he grew up in, he can actually seek out the boy. But the boy doesn't seem to want to be found, at least not by Katsuki. Every time the blond thinks he's about to catch him, the boy slips through his grasp. With Katsuki's nonstop searching... will he like what he finds? ******Trigger Warnings****** Heavy bullying Mentions of self harm Mentions of suicide I think that's it but if anything else comes up I'll add to the list.

Yes, I am Signing About You (TodoBaku)
Katsuki Bakugou was almost completely deaf. He could barely hear his own explosions anymore, but that didn't stop him from trying to become a pro hero. He couldn't wait to prove everyone wrong when they said he couldn't be a hero because of his hearing loss. He manages to pass the UA entrance exams and gets accepted, along with his childhood friend, Midoriya. They're placed in class 1-A with the luck that the home room teacher actually knows asl. The transition from middle school to high school isn't the smoothest. Navigating through high school and the pro hero world is hard for someone with all five senses, let alone someone who couldn't hear. Katsuki stumbles... a lot. When Midoriya catches him staring at the duel haired boy in their class during training, he's quick to tease him for it. They sign quickly, Katsuki's movements for aggressive than normal. They gain the attention of Shoto Todoroki, who in turn, stares back. It was obvious that they were signing about him, but he had no clue what they were saying. Katsuki catches on to the staring and signs at him, even though he can't understand. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Katsuki turns to the taller boy, clearly in a pissed off mood. "Yes, I am signing about you." He signs at him, knowing that he won't understand him anyway. Midoriya's laugh was heard through the training ground as he saw what his friend signed. Shoto looked at him, completely lost. "He says that yes, he is signing about you." He translated. Understanding takes over Shoto's features as Katsuki realizes what Midoriya must have just done. "Deku!" ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (Updated on Wednesday and the weekends) TodoBaku anyone??Complete

Falling for Ink
College is a time for Izuku to grow, learn, be himself and laugh with friends. As he moves into his freshman year at the school of his dreams, he meets the unexpected. Since day one, those ruby eyes have been in the back of his head as he just can't seem to forget about the large quarterback. It was a shock as Izuku thought everyone would be uninterested in talking to him as he had multiple tattoos and piercings in sight. The blonde however, is always the first to compliment him on his work at the tattoo shop. ****** Izuku was easier to read now, watching how his emerald eyes reacted to the topics he brought up and his body language. I took note of it all, letting the fire in my chest heat my cheeks as I looked at him. I took in his features all over again like it was the first time I saw him. He was beautiful. The greenette had no idea how madly in love I was falling for him. Love? In the month and a half I've known him, can I already tell my feelings for him are love? I hadn't looked at anyone else, didn't sought after anyone else, and I didn't care about anyone else like this. I needed him around me, to protect him and keep him under my wing at all times. I'd do anything for him, I'd hurt people for him, I'd kill for him, I'd die for him. I don't think I could admit those things without this being anything else but love.Complete

That night everything changed. . . What will happen when the hero falls in love with the villain? Extract 1 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ "Chill, dude. I'm going ok?" The man left quickly, leaving him with jealous Izuku. "Who was that?" Izuku asked. "Someone who just sucks at flirting." Izuku leaned over him, whispering into his ear. "You look stunning, gorgeous." The hand that slid down his neck made his skin hot. Extract 2 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ "I think you should pay attention to your little angel more." Izuku stopped in his tracks, his body turning to Katsuki. Everything happened in slow motion after that. Izuku's horrified expression, hand reaching for him as the pieces of the building started falling at him. Katsuki smiled, he wanted to give Izuku something before this, and he hoped the warm smile could be enough. . . . "This is the end." Extract 3 ฅ^•ﻌ•^ฅ "Not gonna look at me?" Fuck, stop.
