Sorry guys for not posting here I always forget that, but I hope you enjoy this lil comic!
committed myself to writing a bakugou&izuku coraline AU this month (wish me luck!)
bk=coraline, izuku=wybie, aizawa=the cat
Katsuki's father patted his shoulder before walking up to the front door. āItāll feel like home in no time,ā he promised. Katsuki turned his gaze to the pink monstrosity he was being forced to live in, the paint peeling off the sides like someone had taken a potato peeler to it twenty years ago and paused halfway through. Even from here, Katsuki could see that one of the upstairs windows was broken and past the rusted railing on the top story there was some grimy old man doing stretches in what was definitely not enough clothing. The sharp cry of yipping dogs- small, annoying ones by the sound of it- echoed up from the basement level. āHome,ā Katsuki echoed. āYeah, thatās a fucking joke.ā
genderqueer questioning nagi, pre-slash nagimitsu, based on that one scene where mitsuki tries to throw out all of nagi's merch (943 words)
still looking for an i7 beta reader, esp if you have a good grasp on the character personalities! and ofc id be more than happy to beta some of your stuff in return (for any fandom or original) so message me if interested!
Nagi had thought heād confessed something, sitting on his knees while Mitsuki stared down with a blinding vengeance from Nagiās bed, the both of them surrounded by boxes half-filled with his prized Magical Cocona keepsakes.Ā
Mitsuki had taken Nagiās trademark magical stick from its place on the wall and brandished it with all the grace of a valiant knight from the stories Nagiās father used to tell him as a child.Ā Pointing the barrel of the wand at Nagiās face like a steel-tipped sword, Mitsuki had said, āI know youāre more than just a womanizing anime nerd.āĀ Ā
The words I know filled Nagiās ears like static.Ā
āMore than when youāre with girls or watching anime, when youāre dancing with us you smile the brightest.ā
I know, I know, I know.Ā
āI know because Iāve been watching you,ā Mitsuki had said, and Nagi thought that maybe he knew, too.Ā
Maybe he and Mitsuki were the same.Ā
Mitsuki set aside his sword- the magical stick returned gently to Nagiās sheets instead of the box of to-be-thrown-out things- and he kneeled, too, bringing their faces close together. All the animosity from earlier felt washed away like the evening tide and Nagiās water-worn eyes had shone, reflecting back the sudden gentleness he was faced with.Ā
No one whoād known had ever been gentle about it.Ā
Mitsuki smiled.Ā
āMan, you sure are handsome up close.ā
The breath of those words on Mitsukiās lips tipped Nagi further onto his knees like a young tree caught in the throes of a hurricane.Ā
I know.Ā
So Nagi steeled his trembling, windswept body and confessed. Heād confessed that he felt beautiful like the magical girl Cocona. Like elegance in velvet dresses and silk ruffles and perfectly pink princesses locked away in high towers, waiting to be rescued.Ā
(I must confessā¦I am beautiful.)
Mitsuki frowned, rising suddenly to make a dumpster shot of one of the Magical Cocona figurines displayed by Nagiās bedside.Ā
āI was ready to listen but all you wanted to do was brag?ā Mitsuki exclaimed incredulously, the words that had escaped Nagiās lips too cowardly to confess anything at all.Ā
āIām a beautiful man,ā Nagi tried again. Beautiful, not handsome, but the hard lines in Mitsukiās forehead clearly said Nagiās message wasnāt getting through. Mitsuki didnāt really know so Nagi switched tactics, trying his luck with the other truth Mitsuki might have been referring to. āIāve had girlfriends, but never boyfriends.ā
Nagi had never had this. Japanese boys crowding into his space 24/7 and admiring his face, admiring him aloud, kneeling on his bed like a specter of divine judgment and leaning closer than theyād ever really need to be.Ā
āYouāre my first,ā Nagi said, hoping that this was known, at least. These secret feelings, barely beginning to bloom, expressed only in the suggestive asides Nagiās meager vocabulary could manage.Ā Ā
Nagi realized too late heād slipped into the plural you but Mitsuki didnāt hesitate in the slightest before correcting the words Nagi had placed so purposefully at his feet, so perhaps this wasnāt the truth Mitsuki knew, either.Ā
(You mean, your first friends?)Ā
And the members of idolish7 were Nagiās first friends, like Mitsuki assumed, so Nagi hung his head and agreed, grateful that his cowardice and incompetence had at least allowed him to retain his dignity a little while longer.Ā
Nagi had weathered the crashing wave of anger like he always did, misplaced as it was this time, and Mitsuki had gentled once more.Ā
Then Mitsuki called him cute and helped Nagi right the storm of his room and he smiled when Nagi began explaining the pure perfection that was the MagiCona series and Nagi feltā¦warm, in a way he didnāt usually allow himself to.Ā
He softened his body language until he felt more himself, mimicking the easy femininity of the magical anime girls he so admired, and Mitsuki never blinked. So maybe Nagi could allow himself this wordless honesty. Here, in his room spun with silk and safety that Mitsuki had stayed to help him rebuild even if he didnāt know.Ā Ā
And at night, after MagiCona had aired and everyone else was asleep, Nagi could allow himself- herself? Perhaps themself- to imagine that Mitsuki had known something else and stayed to help Nagi rebuild all the same.Ā

Manager knew, Nagi thought. Or she at least suspected.Ā
Somehow girls always did, and that was part of why Nagi liked them so much. Tsumugi Takanashi was a beautiful woman, and Nagi told her so often, but he didnāt desire that sort of connection from her.Ā
āThereās a Magical Cocona themed planner being released today, isnāt there?ā Manager asked as they strolled past the Zero arena. āShould we stop at a bookstore after we visit the salon?ā
This connection, though- this easy friendship unafraid to wade away from masculinity was something Nagi wouldnāt trade for the world.Ā Ā
āOh, yes!ā he cheered. āMagical Cocona! Yay!ā
And maybe when Nagi found the words for a real confession, Manager would be the first to hear them, her gentle understanding a lighthouse in the swirling storm Nagi would finally admit existed within his head.Ā
āAre you okay, Nagi-san? You have an odd expression on your faceā¦ā
Nagi extended his hand, fingers curling upward, while the other rested gently on his own chest. Manager carefully placed her hand in Nagiās and laughed as she was twirled, skirt billowing out in a beautiful circle.Ā
āIām fantastic!āĀ
Nagi lightly squeezed Managerās hand before letting go.Ā
āAs long as youāre sure,ā she said.Ā
āI am,ā Nagi replied, smiling. āWeāre going to get Magical Cocona today!ā
And the baby steps were important. The magical girl Cocona assured him of this.
I devoured the very thing that longed to destroy me
