All his life he thought nothing could tick him off more than izuku ever does. But he was wrong. From the moment he transferred to UA he met you. The most annoying, smartass, competitive woman he’s ever met. His rival. He couldn’t grasp the concept of a woman not quacking their boots at his presence. Throughout the year of his character development, you were there. He hated it. He hated how you looked. How you acted. How you always told him what to do. How you always tried to help him like he was someone weak.

But never in his time with you did he realize why he hated you to begin with. It wasn’t until this moment he realized the possible reason fate brought you two together. The war was heavy on all the heroes. Izuku was dragged into another area as he tried to fight off shigaraki on his own. His right arm was crushed leaving him weakened on one arm. Thats when it hit him. Death was knocking on his door and he needed help to finish this battle off. He needed your firepower.

“Get up. Show me you aren’t weak and let’s finish this asshole off.” He lent you a hand

“Yeah. Lets end this shitshow.” You panted.

You were kneeling bloodied on the ground panting and trying to stand, also badly injured from the battle. You took his left hand with yours and stood up nodding as he tightened his grip on your hand. Now, bakugou knew the answer to all his questions. He was always bothered by your presence because he loved you. And at this vulnerable moment, he knew he couldn’t win this battle without you.
