Work Text:
It’s after school and he’s with the extras still following him. It’s less than 10 months before his exam in UA and he’s not anxious about it at all. He’s the best and he’ll be number one so it won’t be hard for him.
Definitely, it won’t even cause him any ounce of soreness at all.
Yeah, definitely.
But hell, he can’t breathe easily. He feels his throat and lungs slowly closing up on him and fuck him if he doesn’t want to breakdown in front of those losers. But it’s getting hard to breathe. It feels like the sludge monster incident all over again. Whatever’s boiling inside of him since then, it never goes away and just keeps on rising in every inch of his awful soul - but hell, who cares about feelings when he will surpass All Might and be number one. Of course, he can just shrug it off and really it will just go away and be forgotten. This will just be another way for him to be stronger because why should he ever be affected with what happened? Why should he allow himself to think about that shitty Deku when he in no way of form should matter?
When he got a minute, he was able to see what’s been decorating the shitty town he’s born in. He’s not aware that All Might decided to stay in Musutafu even if there’s no action ever happened this at all (Well, aside from that fucking Sludge villain that made him a victim but heh, that doesn’t matter at all!). He’s not weak. Bakugo Katsuki is never weak and will never be weak. He’s the best and that’s all that matters.
But hell no.
All Might’s posters are literally everywhere around Musutafu City. It’s not some weird shit because he’s the number one but it’s crappy because he’ll now see his face almost everyday now that the number one hero moved there. He's trying to keep his composure while seeing the wide bright smile of Japan's most loved savior. Everyone is excited and feel very confident that he’s here. He’ll always be here to save everyone. Like what the status quo is for the longest time. But something is wrong, that shitty Deku is not here. That nerd will never be amazed on how the magnificent All Might’s finally here.
All because he’s gone. All because he chose the easy way out. One day he’s at the back of his chair and the next day he’s gone.
The irritating sound of his weirdness and stalkerish mutterings that he usually hears everywhere suddenly turned into an abysmal change of nothingness.
All Might was his idol (both of their idols). What will he even be doing here? Everyone should be honest that even if this is a shitty town, villains were rare here. At most there’ll just be petty criminals or stupid people who just want to cause chaos but nothing sort of A or B level villain. There’s a lot of up and coming heroes and agency around town that can help keep the peace especially All Might made sure that Japan will be in the state of peace the moment he was crowned as number one. But, Katsuki is very confident that he’ll beat those extra when he becomes a pro. No matter what. He’ll always be the best.
But can he really be the best when he can’t turn back the time and save the person that’s been his tail for how long he can remember. Can he really be the cream of the top when Shitty Deku’s no longer here to sing him praises? Can he?
He's doing everything in his power not to break in front of fingers and wings that keeps on blab on whatever shit they’ve been talking about. These weak extras that don't stop talking. Talking shit and bla bla bla that makes his head hurt more. He just want to make everyone leave him alone for fucks sake. He won’t admit this to anyone even if he die right now (which he wouldn’t fight at all because what’s the fucking point?).
It’s just been 2 fucking weeks since he last heard the mumbling, stutters, and seen his quiet shy smile.
It's been 2 excruciating weeks where the first week, he has to swallow down the guilt he's feeling when that fucking Deku finally heed to his suggestion once and for all. He tried to swallow the turmoil that he was feeling everytime his mind wandered to whatever shit show is happening.
Imagine, after all those years he told him off to leave him alone and stop bothering him but never listened? So it took him by surprise that after giving that advice he'll follow through.
"You wanna be a hero so bad? I've got a time saving idea for you. If you think you'll have a quirk in your next life... go take a swan dive off the roof."
And he fucking did. That nerd jumped and he's gone. He listened and now he's gone and will never come back to annoy the hell out of him.
Katsuki were never serious about it. He was just pissed off that Deku hadn't dropped that dream and had the audacity to apply to UA when he specifically told him not to! What's even hard in being realistic in life and stop dreaming for the impossible but still be here?
He should’ve never jumped. He should’ve never jumped. He should’ve never jumped. He should’ve never

But he did anyway and Katsuki will always try his damnest to never ever think about that one green haired boy named Midoriya Izuku.
He will never give him the satisfaction.
Bakugo Katsuki will never lose.
He will be forgotten and no one will ever utter his name.
(Even if he could’ve been the greatest hero ever.)
