Chapter Text

Katsuki and Izuku, best friends who were always by each other's sides until that one fateful day. “ How about you go take a swan dive off a building, maybe you will have a quirk in your next life”. Izuku was confused, heartbroken, and honestly wanted to take what Katsuki said to heart but he couldn’t. He didn’t believe in himself but he believed in his idol and he still had hopes and dreams. And with that Izuku vowed to never talk to Katsuki again unless he apologized. Now at 17 years old in class 3-A in the support course top of his class along with Hatsume of course, he was tasked with fix the students gear and sometimes even selected pro heroes. One day after classes while he was still working (he’s a workaholic obviously) he hears someone come in ,
“You better have a good reason for being in here with me this time of night” he said .

“I do Izuku,” Katsuki said.

He knew that voice from anywhere without him even registering it he stood up and faced him.

“ Again, what reason do you have to be in here , Katsuki ?” he said annoyed and becoming slightly angry.

“ It’s a good reason , you fix gear right ? Mine is wrecked and I need the best around” Katsuki said nonchalantly like they still been friends this whole time

“ Well go find Hatsume she would gladly help you” he said rolling his eyes

“ Well I did say I want the best and that’s you right ? Mister top of his class now”. he said slightly grinning proudly

“ I am the best obviously, I wasn’t going to take your advice in middle school” He said, stepping closer to him "Now , get out of my classroom because I’m not fixing shit for you in a million years”. Izuku said and then walked back over to his station.

“ Whatever you say , but you will help me” Bakugo said, taking his leave and waving his hand while walking away.

~Next Day~
“Hatsume I can’t believe he came up in here and asked for MY help. No hi. No hello. No sorry for telling you to off yourself”

“Izuku, you’re rambling and starting to shake, please calm down” she said, using one of her babies to give him some water. “ I can always do it so you don’t have to worry about him at all ?”. she said fixing baby 20.

“Nope , nobody’s gonna help him period”. He said, crossing his arms and letting out a sigh. “ I need a walk, I'll be back”. As soon as he stepped out the room he heard his name

“ Midoriya, Izuku Midoriya “ said an unknown voice

“ That’s me “ he said regretting leaving the room

“Good afternoon , my name is Momo Yaoyorozu from class 3-A and essentially we need your help with the upcoming mission. Class 3-A needs all gear to be checked and ready to go in the next 4 days , can you help us ?”

“Yea, why not I’m not on any other projects right now”

“ AMAZING, I will have all the students drop off their gear at 3 o’clock today”

“No problem “ he said, rubbing the back of his neck wondering what he just got himself into.
.
.
.
3 o’clock rolls around and there’s 20 kids standing outside his classroom
“Hello , Midoriya I’m here with everyone and they have their gear”

Izuku took a mental scan of everyone before looking back at his work

“ I will do everyone besides Katsuki’s he has to go somewhere else” he said nonchalantly.

Everyone was so thrown off and confused making their own assumptions and side conversations. “ Please izuku our teacher will be furious if everyone's gear isn’t ready and ur the best around for the job.” Yaoyorozu said, sounding sad and worried.

“ Well have your teacher come talk to me tomorrow about it but for now I will get started on everyone else’s” he said taking everyone else’s gear and setting it on his table “ bye bye now “ he said basically forcing them out of the classroom and closing the door.

“Damn he’s pushy” said Mina slightly under her breath

“Ehh I think he’s kinda cool but Bakugo what did you do to him ?” asked by Uraraka

“ It's nothing, mind your business extras and leave me alone!” he said upset and walked away

“Touchy subject “ Jiro said quietly

~Next day around 12 pm Izuku gets a call ~
“Hello ? Who is this ? “ Izuku said slightly confused

”Hello I’m Shōta Aizawa, the class advisor for 3-A. I’m calling to see if you are available to have a meeting as to why you won’t fix Bakugo’s gear ?” he said nonchalantly

“Yea I am but no disrespect you gotta come down here , I have a lot of work with your class and other heroes”

“Fine I’ll be there in about an hour”

“Good see you then!” Izuku sighed, regretting ever agreeing to this in the first place.
.
.
.
A knock on the door came precisely an hour later
“Hello, where's Midoriya ?” said someone in a sleeping bag

“ I'm right here, are you aizawa??” he said looking confused at the yellow sleeping bag

“Yea don’t mind the sleeping bag, it's supposed to be my nap time”

“Okay ???” Izuku said very confused but understanding

“So why can't you fix his gear ?” Aizawa asked slightly yawning

“So essentially bad history from middle school but we don’t really needa get into all of that” Izuku said fixing something very quickly and then returning to look back at Aizawa

“Well we might have to because no one can fix his gear besides you and I think Principal Nezu is assigning you to work with my class and their support items since Hatsume can’t cover 3 classes by herself” he said shrugging his shoulders

“HUH ???” he said confused and completely in shock

“You heard me so come to terms with it or it’s gonna be a long year unfortunately “ he said softly slightly sad for the kid even though he didn’t know him

“ Great” Izuku said shaking his head

“Bye aizawa “ Izuku said, returning to his station to finish his work.

“Goodbye Midoriya and hopefully everything will work out well for both parties ” he said slowly walking out in his sleeping bag

I haven’t had a conversation with him in over 4 years how am I supposed to just get used to working with him all of a sudden he thought
thinking about how crazy this year is about to get

~In the 3-A dorms~
“bakubro are you gonna tell us what happened??” Kiri asked passionately

“No kirishima stop pushing it” Bakugo said very standoffish

“Why tho ?? It sounded like it was something big “ Kiri said now getting even more curious

“No kiri stop pushing it , it was a bad mistake of my past” he finally bursted out at Kiri

“Like what ? if you tell me i won’t tell anyone cross my heart” Kiri said trying to get whatever it was out of him

“I told him to kill himself when we were in middle school, at the time I didn’t know why at the time I do now though“ he said looking down very ashamed of what he said all those years ago.

“Why ?” Kiri asked softly,slightly regretting that he pushed him to answer

“Because he’s a mirror of all the things I needa work on in my life , I also might like him” he whispered that last part..

“ WHAT . YOU WHAT ABOUT HIM ???” Kiri said so loudly everyone in the dorms definitely heard him.

“Yes yes shut ur shit up or I’ll make you “ he said now feeling slightly away

“Okay okay so you’re doing all of this now just to get a date ?” Kiri asked now question Bakugo more than he ever has in his life

“Well possibly but that’s not the point right now” baukgo said now looking out the window

“I just need gear fixed but a date would also be nice” he said slightly smirking

“Well lemme if you want some help with that but bye bakubro before mina kills me “ Kiri said getting his stuff together before he leaves
”Yea yea night Kiri” he said walking away and going into his room.

Bakugo just can’t shake this feeling that maybe he should apologize to Izuku if he wants a chance to get a date with him but he also wonders if this a stupid idea overall because Izuku definitely didn’t wanna speak to when he first walked into his class. Maybe he will find him tomorrow and tell him.

~The Next Day~
“Where’s class 3-A” Izuku asked nicely

“Just down the hall” said a student in the hallway

“Thank you” Izuku said smiling

“Oh hey Aizawa” Izuku said as he opened the door

“Hey Midoriya were kinda in the middle of a lesson..” he said very confused

“Yea yea won’t take a minute I just need Bakugo“ he said pointing to Bakugo giving him a mocking smile

Everyone in the class starts looking at Bakugo, so confused and wondering who this kid really is related to Bakugo

“Sure Izuku” he said, getting out his seat and walking out the door

“So what’s up ??” he said acting confused

“So I know I have no choice to help you with your gear so if you apologize for what you said to me we can keep this at a bare minimum and I can fix your gear while you keep your mouth shut and stay out of my way.” he said nonchalantly

“Actually Izuku, I was going to come today and apologize to you . I know what I did was wrong and I seriously shouldn’t have said that to you regardless of my age “ he said, slightly looking away.

Izuku was confused , starstruck even

“Wait what ?? No loud mouth ? No back talk ? No yelling ? Has hell frozen over ? “ he said getting louder

“Please quiet down I don’t want them to hear this “ he said trying to calm Izuku down to the best of his abilities

“OH SO THAT'S WHAT IT IS ?? you haven’t told your class about what happened, did you ?” Izuku said about to burst a blood vessel

“No I haven’t “ he whispered out

“ SPEAK UP KATSUKI I KNOW YOU'RE LOUD “ he said yelling and getting closer to his face

Everyone in the class was confused but also now scared. They never heard anyone yell at Bakugo let alone in his face. Everyone wanted to go on like they couldn’t hear what was happening but no one could keep their little comments and questions to themselves.

“ I SAID NO DAMNNIT “ he said stepping into Izuku’s face.

“Well well well this is interesting you have 72 hours to tell them or I will. Don’t worry I will fix your gear but tell them what kind of person you are or I will period . Goodbye” he said opening the door for him

“Thank you Aizawa and you all will have your gear tomorrow except Bakugo. Bye bye now” he said walking away smirking.

“Okay now everyone settle down please and let’s finish the lesson” Aizawa said trying to restore the little bit of order in his class

Everyone kept thinking to themselves but everyone knew shit was about to go down soon. Would Bakugo swim or sink because of his younger self’s actions ?
