Work Text:
If anyone asks Izuku, he couldn't be able to tell how he ended up there; he'd say it's probably mostly luck and desperation.
He needed money to pay for his college's fees, and a lot of people refused to hire him because he was quirkless, even though the job position didn't exactly required a quirk to perform.
Just when he was about to start sobbing, a woman approached him, introduced herself as a professional photographer and she wanted to take a couple of pics of him because she thought he was beautiful.
She offered him money and Izuku decided not to even argue with her about his own appearance and thank the gods she believed he was worth taking a picture of.
A few weeks later, she called to tell him a couple of clothing brands wanted to work with him, before Izuku knew it, he became a professional model in the blink of an eye.
That's why he's here now; at the building where the Bakugos work and design their clothing; he's been scheduled for a photo shoot with their son, Bakugo Katsuki, also known as Dynamight.
He's actually a pro hero, the number one, and Izuku's favorite, but he appears in fashion magazines and social media, promoting his parents brand every now and then.
The models who have already worked with Dynamight gave Izuku a heads up: he should keep his distance during the shoot, because he doesn't like physical contact and will yell at him if Izuku tries to touch him.
When he's really pissed he growls, and he doesn't seem interested in making conversation with anyone.
A few have flirted with him or asked him out, but he only gets irritated at that, so they advice Izuku not to even try. Izuku nods, even though he never does that with anyone.
They also tell him that Dynamight is even hotter in person, which is a warning that Izuku is grateful for because he kinda finds him handsome already, so it's better if he prepares himself beforehand not to make a fool of himself in front of his employers.
However, it turns out to be a bit different than he expected; when he arrives, he gets a very warm welcome from the Bakugos (the parents) and Mitsuki seems to be particularly curious and happy to meet him.
"You're so sweet!" She says, hugging him. "I'm so glad you could come!"
"Thanks for hiring me!"
Then, when the pro hero arrives, after being scolded by his mother for not getting there on time, he's the one who approaches Izuku and introduces himself.
"I'm Midoriya-"
"I know who you are, Izuku," Bakugo cuts him off, smirking at him. "I've seen your pics on social media."
This surprises the model in a way that he's not sure how to react to; he blinks a couple of times as the blond chuckles and grabs Izuku by the waist to lead him to the area they're supposed to get the clothes and makeup.
It seem the other models were wrong about Bakugo, because he always has a hand on Izuku and moves close to him for every single shot.
Actually, it's Mitsuki the one who ends up prying her son away from Izuku because she needs the outfits to be visible.
It's the same problem when they're sitting (Izuku is wearing a shirt and stockings that make Dynamight choke and turn pink the first time he sees him wearing them), Bakugo places the model on his lap, purring and resting his cheek on the other's shoulder, while Masaru looks at them with amusement, before Mitsuki scolds the blond again.
They sit next to each other instead, but Bakugo keeps Izuku's legs on his lap while they're taking the pictures, this makes Mitsuki roll her eyes a couple of times.
Not only Izuku ends up believing his colleagues tried to mess with him by assuring him Dynamight was a grumpy young man who despised physical contact, he also ends up quite flustered because the pro hero keeps closing the distance between them, and staring at him with a confusing glimmer in his red eyes.
Even after the photos-hoot ends.
"Hey, nerd, give me your number."
Izuku is not sure why would he want that, but he gives it to him.
"Do you want a ride?"
"You're so down bad already!" Mitsuki teases him, to which Bakugo growls at her in response. "Izuku, did you know it was his idea to hire you?"
Before the blond can yell at his mother, Izuku beams at him, effectively distracting him without knowing.
"Really? Thank you!"
"You're welcome, nerd," Bakugo says, trying not to look flustered.
The pro hero takes him home after that. On their way to Izuku's apartment, he can't help but ask him about his quirk, and how the life of a pro hero looks like.
"Wow, you truly are a nerd, huh?" Bakugo says, but he still smiles fondly at the model next to him.
Izuku giggles in response.
The pro hero not only takes him to the building, he walks him to his apartment; he says he has a late night patrol that day so he has to leave soon, which is why he stays at the other side of the door.
"Thanks, Kacchan!" Izuku blurts out, blushing after realizing what he just said. "Sorry! I..."
"You can call me whatever you want," Katsuki cuts him off, smirking at him with amusement, then his expression changes to longing and yearning before he takes a few steps closer. "I think I will die if I don't kiss you."
By the intensity of Izuku's blush, the pro hero realizes that he said that out loud. He curses under his breath, but that makes Izuku find the moment even more endearing.
He has to step on tiptoes and pull Katsuki closer to him in order to give him a quick kiss on the lips.
The pro hero blinks a couple of times, cheeks turning pink as a very satisfied grin tugs the corner of his lips up.
"Would you go out with me, Izuku?"
"I'd love to, Kacchan."
They date for over half a year before getting married.
