Last Chaaaapteeeer!

Warning...this starts with a pretty big curveball

Ready?

You sure?

Okay...

One Year Later

I did warn you.

Shoto sipped his coffee at a popular corner cafe, thinking back to the events of a year ago.

He had collapsed after bringing Izuku to the police station.

Izuku and him had been rushed straight to critical care. Shoto had been released after only a few weeks. Izuku, on the other hand...

The dual-haired hero felt a pang of sorrow in his chest.

As soon as he  woke up, a doctor was waiting by the side of his bed.

"Oh, you're awake! I'll call for a nurse..." The man turned towards the door, but Shoto grabbed his arm weakly.

"W..what happened?" 

The doctor sighed and turned around. He was an old man, with a kindly, tired face.

"According to your patient file, you carried that other young fellow into the police station yesterday. Both of you looked like you were ready to leave this world. You managed to hang on, but we'll need to put you in rehab for about a month." He turned to go again.

"Wait..." Todoroki croaked.

"What, son?" the man asked, not turning around.

"What happened to him?"

"Who?"

"Iz-The boy I carried in."

The doctor turned, frowning. 

"He...he's hanging on at least." He rubbed his forehead and exited the room, ignoring Shoto's shouts.

For the next week, they had to sedate him almost constantly because he kept trying to leave his  bed to see Izuku, which opened his wounds.

Finally he settled down and completed his rehab at the end of the third week.

He was walking again, and was in good shape, so they finally let him see Midoriya.

Shoto stood outside the door, taking a deep breath and turning the knob.

Cautiously, the man closed the door behind him.

On the hospital bed lay a frail Izuku, eyes closed. He was hooked up to so many machines his face was almost covered by wires.

Shoto felt a sob welling up inside him. His love looked so lifeless and dead. And why wasn't he moving? Was he...

A nurse walked up to him. 

"Mr. Todoroki? He's been in a coma. We don't know when he'll wake up or if he ever will. We will keep him here as long as you wish, but even if he does wake up, he may suffer brain damage. His body shut down to heal. We're trying to help him, but there's no telling what will happen." She explained gravely.

"...I see." The dual-haired male swallowed his sorrow.

He walked up to his boyfriend, kissing him on the forehead tenderly.

"Hang in there for me, okay?" Todoroki whispered, lingering for a moment before turning and exiting.

They had been separated again.

Shoto sighed deeply and checked his watch. It had been a year, but Izuku stayed comatose. 

Todoroki looked up. Finally, his visitor was here.

"Hello, Katsuki." The blonde walked over and sat down next to him.

Bakugou was here on a temporary visa for work, so Todoroki thought they could catch up.

"Yeah, hey. How's Deku?"

"Same as ever, I'm afraid." 

They sipped coffee in silence, occasionally remarking on the weather. Their friendship had fragmented deeply ever since Izuku had gone comatose. They were not as close as before.

Finally, Shoto stood up.

"I've got extra tickets to a movie, want to come with?" He beckoned to the slightly shorter man.

NO IT'S NOT A DATE THIS IS NOT A TODOBAKU SHADDUP

"Yeah. Sure. I've got the day off anyway." Throughout the past year, Bakugou had mellowed a bit. He didn't curse as often, and could often be seen staring into space, sometimes with a tear trickling down his cheek.

Suddenly, the taller hero's phone chimed.

He took it out, frowning.

"It's the hospital."

Todoroki squinted at the screen, eyes widening.

"What is it?"

"H-He...He's woken up." Shoto exclaimed.

Bakugou's mouth dropped open.

"After all this time?! Damnit, fuck the movie. I'll call a cab." Bakugou whistled sharply, and a yellow car pulled up.

Still in shock, Shoto climbed in and Bakugou directed the driver.

He's up...Finally! My Izuku...oh, god, what if he has brain damage? What if...

Please, oh please, oh please.....

The yellow car pulled up to the hospital. Katsuki paid quickly, and they jumped out.

"So this is where he's been..." the blonde stared up at the building. 

"Whoa, shit, Icy-Hot! Slow down!" He ran after the dual-haired man, cursing.

Todoroki had made a beeline for the door.

He opened it and, slowing down, walked up to the front desk.

"Hello, uh..."he greeted the receptionist in a nervous, slightly impatient tone.

"Oh, Mr. Todoroki! We've been expecting you." She smiled. 

Bakugou ran up behind him, breathing heavily.

"Man, you've gotten fast!" He clutched the desk for support, catching his breath.

The woman got up from her desk. 

"One moment, please." She smiled gracefully. "Would you mind having a seat?"

"Uhm..sure, Miss..?" Shoto asked.

"Sonia Nevermind, but you can just call me Sonia. I apologize for the wait, but my understudy is being difficult and we have to get some paperwork sorted out before we can get you and your friend here cleared to see the patient." At the mention of her understudy, the poised woman frowned a bit.

I should just make a Danganronpa x My Hero Academia crossover already at this point 

WAIT SHOULD I 

I ACTUALLY REALLY WANT TO

Shoto and Katsuki sat down.

Todoroki's fingers drummed on his lap nervously. He was unable to relax.

"Calm down, IcyHot. It'll be fine." Bakugou reassured gruffly.

Sonia, the receptionist, leaned into a room behind her desk and appeared to be having a conversation.

The conversation got louder and louder until the two could clearly hear the words being spoken.

"Kazuichi, what did you do with that paperwork?"

"Miss Sonia, I'm sorry, I don't know where I put it!"

"Kazuichi, you need to be more responsible. This is your job, and if you want to keep it, you'll have to step up!"

"I-I'm sorry!" 

"Go apologize to those poor people about the wait. I'll take them to the patient after."

"Aww, Miss Sonia, I can-"

"Go!"

Muttering, a pink-haired man walked out of the room and blushed sheepishly. Sonia walked out and stood beside him, nudging him sternly.

"Heh, uh, sorry for the wait. You guys can go on now."

Sonia led the two through the hospital.

"I'm sorry about Kazuichi, he can be a handful..."

She dropped them in front of a door, and left.

A doctor peeked through.

"Oh, hello! You must be here to see Izuku. He has woken up."

"Now, I must warn you...he seems to be suffering severe amnesia. There is a large chance that he will not remember who you are." The man explained solemnly.

He..He's lost his memory? 

All the moments we shared together...our relationship...

Todoroki wanted to cry.

Bakugou stared.

"Fuck do you mean? He'll remember me."

"How long have you known each other?"the man asked politely. "The chance of recall-"

"Our entire fucking lives! Let me see him!"Bakugou barged past the doctor into the room.

The doctor yelled after him, 

"Sir! Please, don't disturb the patient!" He rushed in.

Todoroki was frozen. He couldn't bring himself to walk in.

What if he's a completely different person? What if he's lost forever? My Izuku...

The dual-haired hero composed himself, stiffly walking into the room and closing the door behind him.

Izuku was sitting up in bed, chatting cheerily with Bakugou, who sat with his jaw hanging open.

"ICYHOT! He keeps calling me Katsuki and it's fucking creepy." Bakugou yelled, shaking the green-haired boy.

"Why are you shaking me? Isn't that your name? I'm Izuku!" Midoriya answered cheerfully.

Todoroki walked forward hesitantly.

"Hello, Izuku. Do you...do you remember me?"he choked.

The greenette swiveled his head.

"Uh...hi! I'm Izuku Midoriya, and I'm gonna be the number one hero!" He punched the air with his fists, grinning.

"What's your name?" he asked.

Todoroki sagged.

He doesn't remember me.

After everything.

Shoto felt a crushing weight on his shoulders once again.

So this is goodbye.

The Izuku I knew is gone forever.

The hero turned to go, slumping.

But not before a firm hand grabbed his wrist.

YOU THOUGHT IT WAS OVER

I WOULDN'T GIVE YOU AN ENDING THAT DEPRESSING

I mean I could 

But I'm not evil 

Maybe a little

But fortunately for you

Deku is more evil

Shoto sighed, turning back to confront his old friend.

He shook his head, staring at the ground.

"Katsuki, it's no use. I-" He went to remove the hand from his wrist, trying to pry the black leather off his skin.

Wait...Bakugou doesn't wear black gloves.

He looked up in confusion.

Shoto's jaw dropped.

"Hey, babe. Surprise." 

Izuku stood in front of him in his vest and suit, with that old manic glint in his eye that Todoroki had come to love so dearly.

"Didja miss me?" He chuckled darkly, straightening his bow tie and smirking.

Oh, and he also looked like a fucking snack.

"Y-You-" Shoto had never been so glad yet so enraged at the same time. He hadn't heard that voice in a year, and yet.

He tricked me! He made me and everyone else think-

"YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE!" Katsuki had also been gaping, but it looked like he had found his voice.

"DICKHEAD! SHITTY NERD! ASSHOLE! WHAT THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?"he yelled.

"Awww, Kacchan, can't I have some fun before I see my darling again?" Midoriya cooed, clearly having too much fun toying with them.

The blonde fumed, but the dual-haired man shushed him.

"Izuku." Shoto glared at the greenette.

"Yeah, babe?"Midoriya giggled nervously, crumpling slightly at the expression on his boyfriend's face. "I'm a pretty good actor, right?"

"You think it's okay? I haven't seen or spoken to you in a year, and the first fucking thing you do is play with my emotions?"he growled.

Bakugou's head swiveled between the two. "Whoa, uh, IcyHot-"

"Do you know how much you put me through?"

"Babe, I didn't-Shoto, please-" Izuku's bottom lip wobbled and he went pale.

Oh god, I made a mistake. I've finally pushed him over the edge!

Todoroki moved closer to the greenette, pushing his lips up against the smaller boy's ear.

Midoriya shivered as the cold air hit his neck, frightful of what the man might do.

"Surprise, babe."the dual-haired man whispered, smirking.

Izuku turned from white to red.

"Y-You-you fucking-!"he growled, clenching his fists.

He tricked me! Just like I tricked him!

Todoroki chuckled. "You're so cute when you get-"

The smaller villain smashed their lips together, cutting him off.

Now Todoroki was the one that was blushing.

He growled into the kiss, picking up his boyfriend so the smaller's legs were wrapped around his waist.

Katsuki's ears were red. He stared at the two.

"Guys, would you PLEASE get a fucking room?" he yelled. "My eyes are fucking bleeding."

Izuku deattached himself from his boyfriend.

"Sorry, Kacchan! But it's been a year, and I'm horny!" he whined.

"Oh, fuck you."

"Both of you, quit it." Todoroki warned.

Midoriya pecked him on the cheek. "Sorry, babe."

"You two are gonna make me sick."Katsuki grumbled.

"Katsuki."

"Alright, all right. So what do we do now?"

"Well, Izuku is free to go. How about we go over to my place?"

"Sounds good." 

They walked out, bidding a good-bye to Sonia, who was arguing with her understudy once again.

"Why can't you be more like Gundham?"

"Aw, man, Miss Sonia..."

Izuku went head, skipping out the door.

He's so cute...

They waited at the curb for a cab.

"What are you doing here anyway? You live in America."Midoriya mocked Bakugou.

"I'm here on work, Deku. And don't you fucking mouth off to me."

Before Izuku could respond, a car pulled up. 

Before they got in, Midoriya pulled a gun out of a holster on his hips and cocked it at the blonde.

"Whoa, Izuku!"Todoroki shouted.

"D-Deku? The fucking hell?" Katsuki stepped back nervously.

"I'll say whatever the fuck I want." Izuku said coolly, reholstering the gun.

He turned to the cab driver. 

"Pro Hero Shoto's apartment, please!" He smiled happily.

"O-of course," the unfortunate man replied, eyeing the gun. "No charge!"

They got in, and the driver started to navigate.

"Izuku, you can't just pull guns on people." Shoto berated the greenette sternly.

"Damn right he fucking can't! I'll blow your head off!" Katsuki yelled.

"Like hell you will." Izuku smiled an unnerving grin.

The cab driver pulled up to Shoto's apartment.

"Don't you think it's kinda strange random people know my address?" Todoroki wondered as soon as the car left.

"Fanboys and fangirls that follow you everywhere, post your address on the internet, and write disgusting fanfiction about you. This is why I left Japan." Bakugou muttered.

self callout

Shoto unlocked the apartment. 

Izuku and Katsuki both flopped on the couch.

Todoroki went up to the blonde after he locked the door, and whispered something into his ear, blushing.

Bakugou's eyes widened.

"Damn. You're gonna-?" 

Shoto nodded.

"Oh, all right. Let's talk."Katsuki went into the other room, and Todoroki followed.

"Where you going, babe and Kacchan?" Izuku whined.

"Oh, we'll be right back."

"Don't fuck without meeee!" 

Shoto rolled his eyes good-naturedly.

Once they were in the bedroom, Katsuki turned to the dual-haired hero.

"Are you sure? Like, absolutely sure? Cause this is-"

"Yes. There's no better time than now, and I don't want to lose him again." Todoroki answered firmly.

"Okay. Go for it. You want me to stay in here?"

"That'd be great." Shoto took a deep breath, rummaging in his dresser drawer.

hm wonder what's going on

"Hey...IcyHot."

The man turned, about to exit.

"You got this." Bakugou smiled a rare smile.

Shoto smiled back, and disappeared into the room.

"Oh, hey, Shoto! Where'd Kacchan go?" Midoriya yawned, staring at the ceiling. 

"Babe?" He looked at the dual-haired man.

And gasped.

Todoroki stood there on one knee, holding a box that displayed a single glittering diamond ring.

This is my last chance. I can never lose him again.

His boyfriend made small choking noises in the back of his throat.

"Izuku."

"I've had this since before you went missing. Waiting for the right moment, and now that I've realized that there will never be a right moment, that I have to hang on to you tight and never let you go."

"So, I'm doing this now so we'll never leave each other's side."

"Izuku Midoriya, I love you with all my heart."

"Will you marry me?" 

The greenette's eyes welled up with tears. 

He composed himself, taking a shaky breath.

"Of course."

it's finally OVER

2500 fucking words I'm DECEASED

i'm sorry this took forever 💀 

get ready for pop star au!
