"Happy birthday, Kacchan!" Izuku offers the boy a smile, but nothing more than that -- The last time he'd tried to get him an actual birthday gift didn't go very well. -from izuku to bakugou xox

                                                                         [it’s the gremlin’s birthday & my inbox is open!]

      There is an initial moment where his teeth grit, his fists clench, habit takes over and he’s ready to snap like he always does for Deku to leave him the fuck alone---it’s the same stupid routine every damn year; Deku won’t stop wishing him a happy birthday like they’re friends, no matter how much he yells at him to fuck off. But it’s not middle school anymore---nothing at UA has been anything like the rest of their past, and it’s enough to make his reflex falter, enough to remind him things are different between them now, too.

      Doesn’t make it any less fucking annoying, but where his hands had been heating in preparation to spark menacingly, he feels them cool.

            “Tch.” Turning on his heel to walk away, he shoves his hands in his pockets, outburst contained for once. “Whatever, Deku.” It’s probably not a good thing that that’s the most civil he’s been about this by far, in years.

Katsuki doesn't say a word when he enters class 1B before the bell. He just stops in front of Aillah's desk and drops a bag of chocolate he got for her. "Happy white day -- We're even."

               Looks up from where the other had shown up, ready to say something before he’s already talking about how even they are. Oh, those are her favorite types of chocolates? Looking back up at Katsuki, she can’t help it, she’s giggling and taking one out, putting it up against the other’s lips. “  I guess we are even.  “  Cheeks flush a light shade of pink.

‘ i am only digging holes for myself to fall into ’ - ochako to hawks (from what we plotted for the traitor au!)

                                                                            poetry sentence starters [accepting!]

      This is not the kind of shit Hawks signed up for. He knew this mission would be rough---and it is, it is---but having a kid wrapped up in everything adds about a thousand factors he never wanted to account for. This is what he didn’t want. This is what made his skin crawl the moment the mission was broached, the moment he realized he had no choice.

            So you’re telling me to just ignore all the victims they’ll create while I’m off trying to butter them up?

      And he knows a victim when he sees one---he may not have decades of hero experience under his belt, but he’s got enough to know the look of someone scared and not in control, someone who’s been convinced that they can’t ask for help. She’s just a kid, and while that shouldn’t matter, that doesn’t always matter... he knows the kind of wackos who hang around the league---this girl was a far cry from the manic glee and murderous enthusiasm of Toga or the remorseless self-satisfaction of that Mustard kid; she’s not at all the same as the other kids in the league, clearly, not in it because she wants to be here.

      So that just leaves what the hell to do about it---rat her out and get a child arrested for something outside of her control, or keep quiet and let her get tangled up even further in all of this. He sighs heavily, lifting a hand to push his visor up and away from his eyes.

            “You and me both, kid.” His tone is tired, and maybe that’s reckless; to not put up a front, to not play a part as he always has to, but something about this situation makes him reckless.

      He guesses---whatever he decides to do about this all will have to be up to her.

      He doesn’t know how closely the league is keeping an eye on their mole, or on him, so he’s been careful about this. A damn good excuse for being on UA’s campus and the most inconspicuous way he could manage to pull her away from prying eyes and ears so they can talk. So that’s exactly what he’s gonna let her do. Eyes carefully guarded in a way his tone wasn’t, he studies her a moment, before sighing again.

            “How about we start from the beginning. Tell me how you got into this mess, and we’ll just have to figure out where to go from there.”

‘ i am a carcass of regrets and apologies ’ - tokoyami to hawks

            “...Huh.”

      He makes a show of mulling that over for a few moments, considering it very hard, apparently, for a few moments before he passes his judgment on the notion, straightening up. “Seems kinda harsh on yourself, doesn’t it?” he asks, clapping a hand on his intern’s shoulder lightly, his tone encouraging as he gives a gentle shake. “Don’t sweat it. No need to be so melodramatic over one mistake as a provisional hero. You’ll shake it off, kid. Let’s reserve the carcass talk for... uh, never?”

@beyondheroic 💖’d for tokoyami!

            “Come on, it’s fine, I got permission from your teacher.” He doesn’t mention that ‘permission’ was, in fact, just him tacking a note to Eraserhead’s door with one of his feathers, reading ‘i borrowed your bird i’ll feed him - #2 hero hawks it’s fine’ in just barely legible chickenscratch handwriting. That detail is unimportant, really.

            “If your school’s taking my first ever intern away from me by suspending the program, the least I should get is to take you out to a goodbye dinner! School’s over for the day, yeah? So why not! What are you hungry for? Kentucky-fried chicken? Turkey legs? I heard there’s a place with great yakitori right by UA.”

❛ . . . whoever your friend may be , it'd be better to check whoever he was looking for was ACTUALLY home , instead of breaking down our door. ❜ finishing up the rest of his meal , upon whoever decided to break the entrance of his & mi kyong's apartment , nao didn't even notice the second party that ACCOMPANIED them. it was about three months before he'd even start ATTENDING U.A , considering the complications associated with his transfer, to begin with , reason why he & mi kyong didn't transfer together to begin with. & yet , it'd seem trouble already was brewing. // @beyondheroic bc I complained on twit of not having a lot of nao threads

“I trust you.” - kirishima to nao

❛ don't. ❜ words quick to deny any sort of friendship or bond from FORMING , life hasn't been EXACTLY easy since his transfer to U.A. , all sorts of complications only seemed to follow. it was a STRUGGLE to even change his surname and to separate himself from the TAN family name , especially when his brothers were both famous pro heroes. granted , if the public knew even half of the TRUTH , they weren't any heroes worthy of admiration nor attention. to nao , they were worse than VILLIANS. ❛ you've known me for a total of one day , I can't tell if you're just stupid or an idiot. ❜ not percisely his plan to stand out , it would've been much BETTER if nao could stay under the radar. whoever was in front of HIM , seemed adamant. honestly , what a headache. // @beyondheroic

“You’ve got a fever. Of course I’m not going anywhere.” - aizawa to mi

❛ aizawa , I’m all good to go , you don’t need to stick around. ❜ waving him off , though it was quite the SIGHT to watch a pro-hero fall off a building like that. granted , all the victims were saved , all but herself. if it weren’t for AIZAWA , there was a likelihood that mi kyong couldn’t have survived the fall even with her QUIRK. for someone who was so STRONG HEADED & INDEPENDENT , seeing such a frail & vulernable mi kyong was quite eye opening. ❛ you don’t hafta stick ‘round , really you need to ge- ❜ an attempt to stand up , only leads to mi kyong landing on the floor. her vision blurry , her head in all sorts of PAIN. she’s unsure , why tears start pour from her eyes , continously flowing without stop. ❛ I’m okay on my own , I can take care of myself. ❜ how many times had mi kyong been by herself in her youth ? when in pain , when sick , to depend on no one else but herself. having someone else by her side , only made things CLEARER on how lonely she’s been. to think of like that , it was UNBEARABLE. ❛ I’m okay , I’m okay. ❜ except mi kyong wasn’t , at the very least , not for a very long time. // @beyondheroic
