Making myself sad thinking about Katsuki being hit by a quirk that lets him see his soul bonds as strings connecting him to people he cares about-
And one string is so flimsy looking, obviously dragged through hell- and he knows that color.
Him spending the next couple of days, because the quirk lasts for a while, toying with the green string- the thought of cutting it and permanently getting rid of Izuku floating by before sighing and letting it go
And it’s weird- because he can ignore everyone else’s strings connecting to him. It’s Izuku’s that he can’t stop looking at.
Them going through something and it’s like something snaps, y’know? Because one minute they’re arguing and next thing Katsuki knows Izuku is telling him that he gets it. “I’m going to leave you alone, okay? That’s what you want, right Bakugo?”
And Katsuki watching the string connecting him to Izuku just... wither up and turn to dust and suddenly it’s like he can’t breathe- he’s standing there, a roaring ocean in his ears as Izuku walks away
That’s not what he wanted- that’s not what he wanted at all.
Cue in the next couple of days as he tries to figure out what the hell he’s going through- what he wants-
And the answer is so simple that it hurts
Because all Katsuki wants is Izuku in his life. Knowing that right now, Izuku wants nothing to do with him is- it’s messing him up. He thought he’d always have the nerd stuck to him.
Friendship is a two way street. That’s why the string connecting them was a dark green- and why the other strings were a lovely blend.
Katsuki watching his string, an orange, connect towards Izuku mid battle just as the big bad aims the attack towards the greenette
And them having a moment as Izuku holds Katsuki and Katsuki finally fucking admits that he wants Izuku in his life “I can’t imagine a world without you”
And Izuku staring at the blonde before letting out a “stupid Kacchan!”
And the blend of their connected string brings Katsuki so much relief he passes tf out
Bakugo pinning Deku during Deku v Kacchan part 2
Manga
Anime
Stage play
Or just a bit of meta from the perspective of the original Japanese. EDIT: replaced “symbol” with “image” because i am a clown and forgot that it is image and not symbol
So, it’s already been established that Bakugo is a source of inspiration to Deku, with the latter explicitly acknowledging that his language becomes a lot dirtier and crasser when he is fighting to win–like Bakugo’s.

Kacchan looks beautiful
I used to be yours, I think
(Which is to say, I still am)
belonging to you, like a soldier
belongs to a general, or
that thing you owned, the one
I- I'm sorry- broke by accident.
I used to be yours, I tell myself,
and I don't look away from your claws
I don't pretend you don't snarl and bare your teeth,
like a wounded animal, like a beat up dog,
and I don't forget the biting, no,
but I forgive.
It's weird, I think.
You're not a very nice person, at all,
sometimes you're angry and I flinch,
and sometimes, now, sometimes
you're angry and I can't help but smile.
I'll keep the scars.
It's not a choice I'm making, it's not
like they're fading away
anytime soon, you know?
and my friends don't get why I love you
-I mean, they wouldn't get it
if they knew, if they knew that
you're the sun, and I don't orbit around you
or I try not to, nowadays-
but, you know, I don't think you know either.
I don't think I know, too, so.
I think
when you were made, out of gold and sunfire and old laurels,
out of the feeling of climbing a mountain
with your bare hands,
and watching the world from its peak,
I think they made me too, that day,
and they didn't make me for you
I think they'd have done a better job
but I looked over at you and thought,
huh.
And that's just how it's been ever since.

Kacchan is protecting Deku
Instead of sleeping, I decided I could try and get used to CSP drawing this thing that I previously did traditionally but also with way less stuff.
Anyway, enjoy!
