Never In My Wildest Dreams Did I Think We’d End Up Here Post-canon.

Friendly reminder that Izuku didn’t go charging into the fight with the slime monster until after he saw it had Katsuki

He was literally at his lowest point right then. Not one person in his life thought he could be a hero, and that day both Katsuki and All Might had made it clear to him that they thought it was impossible.

Izuku was horrified at his role in setting the slime monster free, that his own actions could cause harm to someone else, but he still didn’t go running into the fight until he saw it had Katsuki.

He knew his role. He knew it was the heroes job to save, not his. He stayed in his lane, observed, took notes, prepared himself to act, but he still never actually acted until he saw Katsuki in danger.

Only Katsuki’s safety would have driven him to do what he did. Yes, Izuku is heroic. Yes, he is hardwired to save others. But at his lowest point, no encouragement or validation or support from any corner, it was Katsuki being in danger that pushed Izuku to act when no one else would.

It had to be Kacchan.

Bakugo the patriot.

me too izuku, me too

Kacchan helping Izuku encode test scores

just a matter of time

Kacchan likes Deku being the big spoon but he wont admit it!

Don’t give me alpha, playboy, flirty Bakugo, give me awkward in social situations, doesn’t know how to flirt because why is that important, has never been on a date because he gets too nervous, doesn’t know how to talk to women or men unless he’s yelling or scolding them, who doesn’t care about the concept of virginity because why does it matter, who only ever thought about dating someone because of Izuku, who only ever thought anything to do with dating/sex because of him Bakugo
