    Summary

    Bakugou Katsuki has it all — NFL scouts, a full ride, and the kind of safety net most people never see. Then one bar fight turns into a headline, and the future he’s built goes sideways. His last shot at keeping it? Twelve weeks of court-ordered community service at Camp Oak Creek, a lakeside program for at-risk teens. Trust falls and sing-alongs? Over his dead ego.

    Midoriya Izuku first arrived at Oak Creek at sixteen with a juvie record and a beat-up guitar. Now he’s twenty, a steady counselor with a guarded heart, spending summers giving kids the second chance he got. He’s good at quiet, at patience, at not letting people close. Then college football’s golden boy shows up with a temper and an attitude he didn’t check at the gate.

    Summary

    Standing on stage at the Hero Billboard Chart JP, with Deku on his right as No. 1, Katsuki feels pride swell in his chest at all the things they’d accomplished together since graduating from U.A.

    He takes in the beaming face of his childhood best friend, his fiercest rival, the love of his life- though no one can ever know- with a weary grin. Like storm clouds rolling in, Katsuki’s mind darkens with the realization that this is all they'll ever have. Is it enough for them?
    --------------------
    After nine years together in the closet, Deku is ready to come out. Katsuki isn't.

    Summary

    “Why,” Katsuki says slowly. It sounds threatening, which is great, even if the real reason is that he’s struggling to modulate his voice. “Are. You. Here?”

    “Is it too late to change my mind?” Deku asks, fists grabbing his jacket in what Katsuki knows is an attempt at hiding his nerves.

    If pining for another person was a competition, Bakugo and Midoriya would be joint world-record holders.
