#how Izuku is writing with TWO BROKEN ARMS TIED BEHIDN THEIR BACK is really a discussion for later tbh

[dark-elf-writes]

Ahhhh, also for Shindeku, a skin writing soul bond? Like baby muzzled Shinso, the only regular conversation he gets is with his Soulmate? And he worries sooo much about revealing his quirk? Especially since his Soulmate seems to love talking about quirks.

ANDJSJSJJAV I have another skin writing one I started as well for a different pairing but this is aaaaaa

At first it starts as an accident where Shinso really needs to tell someone something but he forgot his slate/whiteboard/whatever they make him use since they won’t let him talk so he out of pure frustration just scribbles ‘Bathroom’ on his hand and shoves it into the nearest adult’s face. But by the time he’s going to wash it off he sees a question mark at the end of it that he definitely didn’t write considering the foster home only gives him the cheapest and most streaky ass black pens and that is very clearly bright green ink looking back at him. He washes it off both thrilled and horrified because he finally isn’t alone but there’s no way his soulmate would actually want a villain like him.

He almost doesn’t write back. Almost lets it slip away without reaching out because he knows that the end will hurt so fucking much but… he’s lonely. He’s been lonely for years. And finally, finally there’s someone who’s not scared to talk to him.

The way it works they can’t share names so the go by bunny and kitten. Bunny likes to draw and loves heroes and quirks. Hitoshi always knows when they forget their notebook because his arms end up covered in analyses and doodles of support gear and a scary accurate depiction of exactly what Present Mic looks like mid DJ Punch. They apologize for it, along with the weird gaps, the places on their arms that they always seem to avoid, but Hitoshi begs them to keep going because he’s pretty sure he’s going to die if he doesn’t get to read their rambling or see the stupid little All Might faces they doodle on everything. Both of them share their dreams of being heroes. Both of them promise that they will ring a way to let the other know who they are when they finally get to UA.

(Shinso doesn’t cry when Bunny tells him they got into the class they had been hoping for, knowing that he didn’t. He’s so fucking proud of them through the pain though)

Then the USJ happens and he knows his Bunny is in trouble when thick red writing appears on his arm in the middle of class. Red. So fucking red. He almost tackles Mic as he starts freaking out demanding that there was something wrong on the 1-A field trip and there’s a villain attack and they have to go help them. Mic, being a god damn professional who was just told their own soulmate was in imminent danger, puts their class on lockdown and calls a code red so all of the staff book it to the USJ.

Everyone is safe, Shouta is broken but healing, and Hizashi watches sweet little Midoriya Izuku with their shredded gym uniform still drenched in their husbands and Izuku’s own blood and water and hastily appearing writing along their arms, going around the scars that look suspiciously like burns like their soulmate knows exactly where they would be, as familiar streaky black hand writing begs them to be okay to be alive, and it’s a bit like looking in a mirror and seeing their high school self with Shouta littering their skin in pleas no one else would see.

If they happen to double schedule the two for a talk after they definitely saw Izuku doodling on their hand during class then the only person that will call them out on it is Shouta who honestly owes both of the little listeners for saving his life anyway.
