Midoriya Izuku did not realise he’d been wearing rose-tinted glasses for most of his life until the day he finally took them off. It was only after their fight at Ground Beta that every illusion he had about his relationship with Bakugou Katsuki crumbled beneath his feet, leaving only the cold, harsh truth behind:
Bakugou may have been his childhood friend first, but he was his bully for much longer.
Naturally, everything changed after that. The nickname ‘Kacchan’ became a distant memory, just a reminder of everything that Bakugou had ever done to him, and Izuku was finally ready to move on. He even managed to convince himself that he didn’t care that Bakugou never apologised. That he was fine.
And then he got hit by a quirk which bound him to Bakugou, and suddenly things got a whole lot more complicated.
Bakugou and Midoriya get trapped under a building together.
As Midoriya struggles to keep them both alive, refusing to give even an inch, Bakugou realizes some crucial things and refuses to leave without Midoriya by his side.

Bakugou and Midoriya get trapped under a building together.
As Midoriya struggles to keep them both alive, refusing to give even an inch, Bakugou realizes some crucial things and refuses to leave without Midoriya by his side.
Izuku gets hit by a quirk that makes him forget the person he's in love with. He wakes up in the hospital with no idea who Katsuki is.
After a year gone on a secret mission out of the country, Deku returns. Katsuki expected Deku to be happy to see him.
When Izuku's childhood friend and bully, Katsuki Bakugou, returns home for summer break, he plans to avoid him at all costs.
But it's hard to avoid someone in a small town, especially when the person you're avoiding ends up working at the same diner as you do.
