A Bakudeku College AU | 29 Chapters | Slow Burn | Hurt/Comfort | Enemies to Lovers
Izuku Midoriya didn't come to Shizuoka University to tutor the football team's golden boy.
He came to survive-on scholarships, caffeine, and sheer willpower. Between late-night study sessions, phone calls from a struggling mom, and the weight of a past he can't outrun, Izuku's barely holding it together.
But when Katsuki Bakugou-loud, cruel, and aggressively gifted-starts failing his classes, the university makes one thing clear: if Izuku doesn't tutor him, Katsuki's off the team. And if Izuku refuses? He loses his scholarship.
Neither of them want this.
Katsuki remembers Izuku all too well-small, soft-spoken, the same kid he bullied in middle school. Izuku remembers even more.
What starts as mutual hatred becomes a slow, reluctant partnership. Tension builds. Tempers flare. Old wounds resurface. And somewhere between textbook pages and long, aching glances, something else sparks to life: understanding. Maybe even something close to love.
But nothing is simple when you've both been raised in the wreckage of broken homes and broken expectations.
This is a story about anger, guilt, healing, and the kind of love that grows in the dark-quiet, bruised, and burning.

In the Small Moments
At 25 years old, Izuku Midoriya has built a quiet, fulfilling life for himself as a kindergarten teacher. He spends his days surrounded by laughter, sticky fingers, and endless questions from curious little minds. It's a far cry from high school, where he was just another quiet kid trying to get through the day-especially with Katsuki Bakugo making his life a little harder than necessary. But that was years ago. He's long since moved past it. Katsuki Bakugo, now a rising-star chef, doesn't spend much time thinking about the past. He's got a restaurant to run, a reputation to build, and no patience for distractions. But when Kirishima and Mina ask him to pick up their five-year-old son from school one afternoon, the last person he expects to see waiting at the classroom door is Midoriya. They weren't friends in high school. They barely spoke outside of the occasional insult or glare. But suddenly, they're seeing each other every day, brought together by a kid who won't stop talking about how cool his teacher is. At first, Bakugo's irritated. Then, he's intrigued. Because the Midoriya standing in front of him now-the one who doesn't flinch at his gruff attitude, who holds his own in conversation, who smiles without hesitation-is nothing like the kid he used to know. And Izuku? He doesn't know what to make of this older, calmer-but still frustratingly blunt-version of Katsuki Bakugo. What starts as awkward small talk at school pickup soon turns into reluctant familiarity, then quiet respect, and maybe-just maybe-something more. After all, neither of them expected to cross paths again. But life has a funny way of throwing people back together when they least expect it.Complete![Tragic Kiss [BAKUDEKU canonU]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/332333598-256-k442002.jpg)

When Sparks Reverse ||• Izuku × Katsuki
They say opposites attract-but what if the "opposites" are yourself, flipped inside out? When Izuku Midoriya stops being the sweet, mumbling hero-in-training and instead turns sharp, cruel, and reckless, Katsuki Bakugo finds himself spiraling. The insults sting. The cold glares burn. And the worst part? Every jab leaves Bakugo's chest aching in ways he can't explain. But Bakugo isn't one to back down-if Deku wants a fight, he'll give him one. Except... the more they clash, the more tangled their fates become. And maybe, just maybe, that ache in Bakugo's chest isn't hate at all. A slow-burn, 100-chapter story of rage, regret, friendship turned rivalry turned something more. Expect angst, late-night confrontations, broken glass, yearning, and a happy ending worth bleeding for.
