“Why Is Your Face Red?”
In this AU, there’s a person with a quirk that can tell what your soulmate will say to you. Out of curiosity and peer pressure, Deku decides to approach this person to find out.
(set in their college years)

Deku gives him the money.

Deku is so confused. But he does know that a bunch of people (maybe more than 40) have testified that this person’s “predictions” are 100% accurate because Deku saw news articles and/or interviews on national TV based on him, which is why he was curious in the first place.
So he has a feeling it’s not a scam after all.
Those people who testified basically ended up either marrying their soulmate or living with them together for a very long time and are happy with them.

Anyway, Deku is bffs with Bakugo now and they go to the same college. They also live in the same dorm building. So Bakugo is like Deku’s go-to person whenever he needs some help.
In the end, Deku finally gives in and decides to try online dating apps.
He has a plan in mind: he’s gonna “cheat the (soulmate) system” and prove that this quirk doesn& #39;t actually work 100% and that “soulmatism” is just placebo.
These are his thoughts:
// I just have to get really drunk and then my face will be red and all my dates will ask me why my face is red and then I’ll have like 10 people who are my “soulmates” and that’ll prove soulmatism can be rigged, hence: it’s not real. HA! too easy //

So Deku goes on a bunch of dates with random people:
Person 1: didn& #39;t even notice Deku’s face is red
Person 2: noticed Deku’s face is red but thought he had a fever
Person 3: a complete creep
Person 4: passed out early from drinking too much before Deku even had one drink
Person 1: didn& #39;t even notice Deku’s face is red
Person 2: noticed Deku’s face is red but thought he had a fever
Person 3: a complete creep
Person 4: passed out early from drinking too much before Deku even had one drink
Person 5: left before they had a drink because they forgot to turn off their stove at home
Person 6: is colourblind so they don& #39;t even notice Deku’s face is red
Person 7: is blind
Person 6: is colourblind so they don& #39;t even notice Deku’s face is red
Person 7: is blind
Person 8: uses sign language to say “your face is not red, you weirdo”
Person 9: *ghosted Deku*
Person 10: didn’t speak at all because they have severe social anxiety
Deku has been doing this for months and not one person ever said “why is your face red” to him.

After so many dates, Deku gives up and starts to think that “soulmates” might not be placebo after all and finding his is near impossible. Either that or he doesn& #39;t have one.

It’s nighttime. Deku just got back from his last date. The sky is clear and the full moon is out.
Deku is outside his dorm building, sitting on a bench. He’s like having an existential crisis in the middle of the night or something. He buries his face in his hands.

Deku looks up to see Kacchan wearing a tracksuit.
Bakugo sits down beside Deku.
Deku sighs.
…
Then Deku stays silent, thinking about what Bakugo just said. He never fails to reassure Deku that everything’s gonna be ok.
That gives Deku a warm and fuzzy feeling in him.
Deku glances at him.
Deku glances at him.
Bakugo has a far-off look, gazing somewhere else. The moonlight shines brightly on his face and illuminates him more. It highlights his features and his red eyes glisten. A soft wind blows Bakugo’s hair along with some cherry blossom petals.
Deku can& #39;t help but stare at him.
Deku can& #39;t help but stare at him.
// huh.. Since when is Kacchan& #39;s hair so fluffy? I wanna touch it. Oh… his eyes are actually a really deep shade of red. I like it… how come he doesn’t have eyebags at all?? Well, he does sleep 8 hours per day. His skin is always so smooth and nice. Kacchan looks amazing… //
While he’s all like “head empty, Kacchan pretty” brainrotting, Deku can& #39;t help but realize how Bakugo has always been very involved in his life, since the very start, being that one constant in his life. Which is… really reassuring somehow?
And Deku finds comfort in that “familiarity” of having Bakugo around. He feels really lucky to have him in his life.
Deku feels his face getting warmer and his heart rate gradually increases. He didn& #39;t realize he was staring until Bakugo turned to look at him.

// ……….. oh //
Deku didn& #39;t realize he was blushing.
Bakugo waves his hand in front of Deku’s face.
https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧨" title="Firecracker" aria-label="Emoji: Firecracker">: ?????? you got a brain stroke or sumn?
Deku chuckles to himself. He is still processing everything, but it makes perfect sense. Everything clicks.

They continue to bicker about nonsense as they head into their dorm building.

[[ in my mind they& #39;re both initially platonic soulmates but then they gradually developed romantic feelings for each other so deku’s next “mission” was to make bkg fall for him which he eventually did. So they become both romantic & platonic soulmates overtime https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="💃🏻" title="Dansende vrouw (lichte huidskleur)" aria-label="Emoji: Dansende vrouw (lichte huidskleur)"> ]]
