The Best Man
by @daddyscuntboyKatsuki Bakugo has been secretly in love with his best friend Izuku for years, so when Izuku panics and begs him to pose as his boyfriend at his ex’s wedding, he agrees. Now, Katsuki must navigate days of romantic charade, knowing every touch is a lie, while Izuku is determined to prove he’s completely over the bride.
MEET THE CHARACTERS
Izuku Midoriya
A 24-year-old trans man with a lean, feminine, curvy build and a constellation of freckles across his nose and cheeks. His forest-green curls are perpetually unruly, and his eyes hold a nervous, earnest light that makes people want to confide in him. The clean lines of his top surgery scars are a source of quiet pride, a map of the self he fought to become.
Katsuki Bakugo
At 25, he's all sharp angles and contained violence, with spiky ash-blond hair and crimson eyes that miss nothing. His build is athletic, forged in the gym, and he moves with a predator's grace that makes space around him. He smells faintly of nitroglycerin and cedar—a scent of danger and clean, stubborn resolve.
Ochako Uraraka
A 24-year-old with a round, cheerful face, warm brown eyes, and chestnut hair styled elegantly for her wedding day. She has a soft, curvy figure and a genuine smile that makes people feel instantly at ease, though today it's edged with a bride's focused determination.
Himiko Toga
The bride at 24, with golden-blonde hair in twin messy buns and wide, amber eyes that gleam with a feral sort of delight. She's petite and moves with a playful, unpredictable energy, her lace wedding gown a stark contrast to the sharp points of her canine teeth when she grins.
Eijiro Kirishima
A 24-year-old muscled trans man that is Katsuki’s closest friend besides Izuku. Went to school with Ochako, Izuku and Katsuki. They’re all close friends and Eijiro is always a happy supportive light of the group. Will always cheer for everyone’s happiness.
Mina Ashido
A 24-year-old happy go lucky black woman. She’s a bit of a gossip, but can keep a secret when it’s important for her to do so. In deep love with her man Eijiro and always at his side.
Denki Kaminari
A 24-year-old man that isn’t the brightest of the group of friends. But always very kind and tries his best. Very energetic and the perfect counter balance to his boyfriend Hitoshi.
Hitoshi Shinso
A 24-year-old man that always looks tired and little annoyed. But he is kinder than he appears, especially to his close group of friends. His boyfriend Denki really helps him out of his shell.
Touya Todoroki
A 24-year-old man that’s always has a smart ass remark to make. He’s Toga’s best friend and like a brother to her. They’re ride or die for each other. The only person that comes before her is Shoto, his younger brother.
Shoto Todoroki
A 18-year-old trans man that has always tagged along as the little brother of Touya until he was apart of the close circle of friends. Takes everything a bit too literal and very observant.
Neito Monoma
A 24-year-old man that is Katsuki’s ex. An old classmate like the rest of the group, but not close with everyone. He and Katsuki had a bad breakup years ago, but wants Katsuki back.
EXPLORE CHAPTERS
A Big Ask
The tailor’s shop was too warm, too quiet. Katsuki stood behind Izuku, his fingers brushing the small of his back to smooth the suit jacket. He felt the subtle tremor run through Izuku’s body, smelled his nervous sweat under clean cotton. His gaze caught their reflection—Izuku’s flushed cheeks, his own crimson eyes dark with a hunger he couldn’t hide. This close, the charade felt dangerously real, his thumb skating over the seam where Izuku’s top surgery scar lay beneath the crisp white shirt. Izuku uses this moment to desperately ask Katsuki to be his fake boyfriend for the wedding. Katsuki’s jaw drops, he thought the only favor he’d be doing for his best friend is fitting him a nice suit for his ex girlfriend’s wedding that was just a couple months away.
How it Happened
They’re traveling to Paris for the wedding. On the plane Katsuki asks what their story is of how they got together. Izuku looks surprised and admits he didn’t think about that. Katsuki is surprised he never thought about that. Everyone will be asking how that got together. Katsuki calls him an idiot and they come up with how they got together on the plane.
Bachelorette Party
Katsuki is dressing him and Izuku for the bachelorette party the next evening. They’re getting prepared for their first big performance. The bachelorette party is at a fancy Burlesque Club.
Just So Drunk
As the night goes on and more champagne is drunk by Izuku and Katsuki. Little to no food or water the “fake” couple are getting more and kissing more. They really need to get a room by going back to the hotel.
Drunk Mistake
Izuku is the first to wake up the next morning. He really thinks it was all a dream until he stills up and finds himself naked and sees Katsuki naked asleep next to him. Silent panic as he jumps out of the bad and runs to take a shower.
