Chapter Text
Izuku is up bright and early today. Some would think this is normal for someone starting a new job. But Izuku isn't up because he's getting ready. He's up due to the small detail he missed in the email his temp agency sent him last night. Excerpt from said email “ …Monday at the Dynamight agency”.
You can't be serious.
DYNAMIGHT AGENCY? Yeah, no pressure Izuku just has to work at the number 1 hero’s agency. ‘Why didn't I read the email closer??’ he thinks to himself as he holds his head in his hands. Sure he's worked for pro heroes before. He's friends with most of the ones he's worked for. They're normal people... But Dynamight??? That's a different breed. Maybe he's overreacting. He messages his friend's group chat and rants about his impending doom.

Izuku:
I can't do this. My new job is at Dynamight's agency. How fucked am I? I'm so nervous, I’ve had an anxious stomach ache all morning. End my suffering.
Shoto:
Woah, calm down there Midoriya.
Ochako:
Yeah, what Todoroki said. Did they say in the email who you'd be directly under? You forget these big agencies have at least 20 heroes working under them.
Izuku:
Oh. I haven't thought about that. No, it doesn't mention who will be under. Crisis averted. Maybe I'll get Chargebolt!!
Iida:
It's not good to work with someone you think is cute
Shoto:
Curious, remind me how you met Hatsume.
Iida:
Not relevant
Ochako:
Listen Izuku. I'm sure you'll do wonderful. No matter who you end up assisting. They'll be lucky to have you! :)
Izuku:
That's so sweet! Thank you I'm feeling better about this now :3
He looks at the time before turning off his phone and hopping into the shower. ‘Today will be a good day’ he thinks to himself. Good or not today would shape Izuku's life forever. Maybe it's better if he doesn't know that right now though. Izuku gets ready in a swift manner and puts on a sage green button-up and some black dress pants. He was going to make a good first impression! He walks to the agency, a brief 10-minute walk with great scenery. Walking into the agency he is greeted by a receptionist who guides him to the correct floor. ‘Act calm Izuku’ he thinks to himself but it holds no weight as he's told to sit in a random conference room. He bites his nails and bounces his knee in suspense. God, Izuku hates waiting. This goes on for 15 before someone knocks on the door. Before Izuku can react to the noise, they enter.
Oh my god.
If he's dreaming, he never wants to wake up. In front of him stands Dynamight. Japans number 1 hero? Fuck that he should be a model. Izuku can't help but stare at the taller man. Processing every detail about him. His wild hair, the way he stands, his pronounced jawline, and lordddd, his eyes. They soften when they meet Izukus. “You just gonna sit there and look pretty?” The blonde says with fake annoyance. Izuku's face must have turned 50 shades of pink. The hero finds this hilarious but just smirks. Izuku eventually regains his ability to speak “N-no Dynamight. It's wonderful to meet you! I had no idea I'd be working for you. My names Izuku Midoriya.” ‘Izuku Midoriya huh? Kinda think Izuku Bakugo sounds better’ Dynamight thinks to himself. “Cut the Dynamight crap, just call me Katsuki. C'mon enough pleasantries. I gotta show you to my office so we can go over job responsibilities.”. Izuku nods his head excitedly and follows Katsuki to his lavish corner office, taking note of the gorgeous view.
They take seats across from each other adding to the tension between them. “I understand that temp agencies don't always give the best job descriptions so I'd rather you understand the expectations now and quit versus you struggling for a week and me getting a mouthful from HR. You were hired to be my assistant. Tasks I can't take care of or leftover paperwork when I have to patrol will be your responsibility now.” Katsuki says almost verbatim as he's done so many times before. At this point in his speech, he usually gives a disclaimer that he's a douche and he snaps at people a lot. He feels no need to at this point. What compels him to be so naive is beyond him. Maybe he knows this guy is different. Maybe he's being optimistic but let's be honest that's not his style. Something about Izuku makes Katsuki so at ease. His presence is a pacifying one, one calm enough to keep his anger at bay.
The boy looks at him expectantly. Shit, had he been in his head the whole time? ‘Don't you dare look at me with those doe eyes. You have no clue about the power they hold over me. Ugh stop being gross, Katsuki. This is an employee. Doesn't matter if he's too adorable to be alive.’ Katsuki looks back down at Izuku and closes the spiel with “Let me know right now if that's too much for you.”. Izuku shakes his head, his curls bouncing and covering his face. Fuck how he wishes he could move them to see him clearer. ‘SHUT UP MIND’ he's crushing so hard it hurts. Izuku chirps “No, all of that sounds reasonable..” he takes a beat as he works up the courage to include his name. “..Katsuki.”.
God if you're real, why on earth would you send me your best angel? Katsuki would give anything to hear Izuku say his name like that for the rest of his sappy life. It sounds like how sweet tea tastes, so pure and rich. “..Well good. Here's your first stack of paperwork and you can work at this desk.” Katsuki says while taking Izuku's bag to the desk across from Katsuki’s. ‘What the fuck’ is what Katsuki thinks when he realizes he brought Izuku's bag over. When did he suddenly become thoughtful? Izuku believes this is normal. He has no previous experiences to draw judgment from so why would he question this kindness? “Thank you Katsuki! I'll get started right away! I promise I won't let you down.” Izuku says with determination in his eyes. Katsuki will fall in love if he makes any more eye contact with Izuku so he turns to his group chat to vent his newfound feelings.
Katsuki + Idiots GC
Katsuki:
Well, guess who has an assistant?
Ejiro:
Why don't you sound pumped? Someone made it through your screening process, I figured you'd be screaming right now.
Mina:
Yeah, what's up? How's the assistant?
Denki:
Are they cute? :3
Katsuki:
Mind your business zappy. I dunno he's different. Masculinely feminine. Fuck. My head was all over the place
Katsuki:
Why aren't you idiots replying?
Katsuki:
Shut up.
Katsuki:
Die.
Ejiro:
Oh my god
Mina:
No shot
Denki:
So I'm gathering that he's cute?
Hanta:
You have no shot against Kat bro
Katsuki:
What's that supposed to mean? What?! I'm just saying he's not like the other extras I've interviewed. I don't like him. I just think he's a better fit. Fuck off all of you
Mina:
Its a phase
Mina:
Fuck I sound like my parents
Denki:
Sound like mine too
Katsuki:
All of you are dead to me.
With that Katsuki puts down his phone and begins his paperwork. Well.. he would have if there wasn't such a handsome dork in front of him making his stomach turn. God, did he need to dress up? It's a business casual environment, he's so overdressed. Fuck it though if he looks like this in business attire then Katsuki will change the dress code.
Izuku grabs his phone nonchalantly and then subsequently panic types his friends.

Izuku:
OKAY MAJOR ALERT ITS DYNAMIGHT
Izuku:
MY BOSS IS DYNAMIGHT- or Katsuki? IDK MY MIND IS A WHOLE FOG OF THIS MORNING
Izuku:
He's staring at me... What do I do?
Izuku:
Did I mention he's drop-dead gorgeous?
Izuku:
I don't really curse but fuck he's attractive
Ochako:
Yk I was going to yell at you for spamming but HOLY FUCK THATS WARENTED
Ochako:
Not my cup of tea but I see it
Tsui:
Your cup of tea is women
Hitoshi:
Kissgirl
Ochako:
IM NOT A KISSGIRL
Tenya:
Hey Midoriya, what do you mean Katsuki?
Shoto:
I noticed it too
Izuku:
He told me to call him that?
Hitoshi:
I hate your kind
Ochako:
Can it kissboy. Izuku, how is he treating you?
Tsui:
Is he an ass?
Izuku:
He is surprisingly nice. Very straightforward. Did I mention he's hot? CAUSE HE'S HOT
Izuku:
OMG, he's still at it, what do I do?
Ochako:
Act like you caught him in the act and smile :D
Hitoshi:
This isn't a rom-com, you can't organize a meet-cute moment.
Shoto:
She's scary when she’s playing Cupid
Izuku takes Ochako's advice and the next time he catches Katsuki staring, he flashes him a smile. Katsuki is so extremely caught off guard that he chokes on his water. He coughs a few times and dismisses Izuku's concerns. “I'm fine nerd.” he says but cannot remove the red hue from his face. Izuku texts his friends for his next move.
‘No, you can't name the GC gays’ GC
Izuku:
I think he's catching a cold, what should I do? He's all red and coughing!! :(
Momo:
Maybe some tea?
Tsui:
That's a sweet idea
Ochako:
SHOW YOUR AFFECTION
Hitoshi:
Calm down Jigglypuff he just met the guy.
Izuku:
I'll make him some tea!
With that Izuku excuses himself to the break room and makes Katsuki some cinnamon tea. He returns to their office with a black and orange steaming mug. Waddling to Katsukis desk trying not to spill as he explains himself. “I brought you some tea! I figured you might be getting sick, It's important to take care of your health you know.” Izuku explains as he grabs a coaster before placing it on Katsuki’s desk. Katsuki looks shocked but helps him set it down. “Oh... Thank you. I.. That's thoughtful, I'll take better care of myself.” Katsuki says and means every word. Izuku is the kind of person that makes someone want to take care of themselves. If Izuku made him a tea, he's going to drink the fucking tea. He doesn't give a shit if the last time he had tea, he was 11. Izuku smiles and sits back down happy with his first mission as an assistant. Meanwhile, a bewildered Katsuki consults his console.
Katsuki + Idiots GC
Katsuki:
I can't fucking do this. I'm running away and taking on a new life.
Katsuki:
He flashed that stupid smile at me and I choked on my water and I turned as red as Kiri’s fake ass hair. Instead of being totally freaked out and NORMAL. He starts worrying about me??
Katsuki:
He brings me a tea… BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT ME GETTING SICK. HE WAS SO DISGUSTINGLY SWEET. ITS PISSING ME OFF.
Mina:
I need to meet this cutie. I think Katsuki has met his match.
Denki:
Sighhh wish someone would worry about me like that
Hanta:
We used to before you overdid your quirk every week. After that, it's like yeah we get it YAHHHHHH YAAHHHH like shut up
Denki:
Do you want me to kill myself be honest
Katsuki:
Yes.
Katsuki:
I can't do this.
Kyoka:
Stop being a little bitch
Ejiro:
Well, I'm glad that being on vacation has made you so vocal but now you will be dying upon landing Jiro
Mina:
I actually fw you heavy for that one Ky
Denki:
Wish she’d talk to me that way
Kyoka:
Use your quirk while jumping into the pool
Katsuki turns off his phone. He can't take their bullshit. It's almost 8. He'd usually be happy to be off work. Before Izuku came, going home was the best part of the day. Ugh, what's wrong with him? Get it together. Another day of office work tomorrow. “C'mon nerd, time to leave.” he says in a huff “Don't want to overwork you on your first day. Grab your coat. I'll walk you out.”. Izuku scrambles to get all of his things as a fascinated Katsuki watches. Absentmindedly smirking at the shorter man entertained by his disorganization. All good things must come to an end though. Izuku grabs all his things and walks out of the building with Katsuki.
See you tomorrow Nerd, better not be late.
Wouldnt dream of it Katsuki.
