Chapter Text
———————————————
It started with the bees because, of course, it will always start with the bees.
There was an emergency meeting that has canceled all of their remaining class that day, they were then instructed to go to their dorms and wait for the next instruction.
But nobody said that they can’t go outside the said building, so the class decided that they will have a picnic on the grounds near their dorm. Bakugo declines but was forced by the bakusquad to join the impromptu teambuilding and to unofficially cook for them.
Kiminari who wanted a good laugh wanders around as everyone was assembling the food and other things when he saw a beehive. He plans on how to prank his classmates with the swarm of bees that he trapped in a ball of electric current he made.
It was all a perfect plan, he will sneak into the group and then he will release the bees and watch as the chaos ensued.
The beginning was hilarious, everybody panicked and most have forgotten about their quirks and that they are heroes in the making, the only people that were not running around are Koda, Bakugo, and Todoroki.
Koda in his fright looks like he’s about to faint while the two plan their attack, Bakugo will startle the bees with his explosion, and Todoroki will trap the bees with his ice.
Bakugo forwarded his hand and was about to start his explosion when suddenly the bees stop attacking.
Everybody stops panicking when the sound of deadly buzz turns mellow.
“What the hell?” Kiminari asked in the seeing everything at a top of a tree he was perched in.
“What’s happening? Everything seems quiet, are the bees gone?” Ashido asks hiding in the pile of woods
“Why do the bees sound mellow?” Jiro asks still in the bush that she’s hiding together with Yaoyorozu.
“Does someone has a visual of what’s happening? Can someone report if it’s okay for everyone to come out? We need to take percussion as the bees may be poisonous” Iida shouted from somewhere he’s hiding.
Koda who has overcome his fright stares in amazement as he looks at the behavior of the bees and he quietly confirms that everything is now okay. “You can come out now, they are not angry anymore."
They all looked around and sees Koda staring in one direction, so they also looked at what’s happening and saw that the bees were all hovering around Bakugo.
Then their attention was shifted from the bees to Bakugo, who for the first time is smiling peacefully, a smile that reaches his eyes. His hands were extended to the bees who in turn were happily dancing in his palm.
Everything was peaceful, even Todoroki who’s near Bakugo smiles at what’s happening.
“What’s happening?” Aoyama asks and hurriedly added while pointing at Bakugo “He’s sparkling! Like the princesses that we’ve watched in the movies! Look the sun is also shining on him! And only him!”
Kirishima looking offended points at where Bakugo is “What do you mean Bakubro is sparkling?! He’s ma-” but whatever he wants to say was halted as he looks at the explosion boy closely.
Bakugo is really sparkling, not the way Aoyama does, but more natural, with help of the sun that is shining down on him, the bees who are carrying pollens cast a golden glimmer and a smile. The smile that he has can make your heart stop, but in a good way.
“He vanquishes the darkness that has surrounded us,” Tokoyomi says as he stares at Bakugo.
“What is happening?” Ojiro asks as his tail wags in both excitement and confusion.
Some of the bees are now carrying some flowers that they put in Bakugo’s head and on the ground that he’s standing on
“Are those even possible?” Sero asks, who is now stressing about what to do. “Can bees carry flowers? Didn’t they just drink the nectars? Right?”
Koda who’s silently talking to a bee answers “They say they found their queen.”
“What?!” “Queen?!” “Katsuki’s a queen bee?!” “The fuck?!” 1A collectively shouts at what Koda has said.
“Please refrain from shouting! We may startle the bees and they might attack again! And please refrain from cursing” Iida whispery shouts at his classmate.
Ochako has noticed Midoriya’s silence and approached her friend. “Deku? Are you alright?”
But she quickly realizes that Midoriya is not really quiet but rather mumbling like he usually does, but this time more intense than before.
“Does the nitroglycerin itself attract the bees? Or the smell does? Is there a flower that smells like caramel? Is that the reason why the bees are attracted to Kacchan? Because of the caramel smell or the spark? Or maybe Kacchan himself? Does Kacchan’s sweat still taste sweet? Maybe I should get some samples and try it my-”
After hearing the mumble Ochako quickly sidestep away from him and went to Hagakure as the class continues to quietly debate on what’s happening and what should they do.
“Why are we whispering?” Kiminari asks stepping down from the tree and now joining his class.
“They just stop after Bakugo starts a spark in his hands. Then he becomes like that after the bees hover around him.” Hagakure supplies the group as she also sees everything clearly because the bees didn’t see her.
Then a loud sneeze was heard that echoes around, they all looked at where the sneeze comes from and sees Todoroki with ice forming o his nose and on the ground. “Apologies, it seems that too much pollen has triggered my allergies.”
The sneeze clearly disrupts whatever is happening as the famous scowl returns in Katsuki’s face.
“WHAT THE FUCK ICYHOT! Cover your mouth and nose when you do that!” Bakugo shouts, who then looks at his classmates that are clumped together near the bushes and shout at them “AND WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING THERE?!” Then Katsuki points at their things and added “Arrange the utensils and fix the cookware! How can I cook without them?! By magic!?”
And the class hurriedly goes back to what they are doing as they silently watch Bakugo pull a handkerchief and hand it to Todoroki who smiles with thanks.
The bees left but not without putting flower-crowns on Katsuki’s head that the boy ignored in favor of shouting at his classmates on whatever they were doing.
After thirty minutes of arranging and cooking, everything is now running smoothly, everyone is now having fun and most importantly the food is good. So good that most have closed their eyes in every bite that they have.
Katsuki’s cooking is always the best, that being shouted is nothing compared to the food that they will eat.
They talked about everything whilst trying to avoid the subject of the bees but it’s hard to avoid the said issue when the bees continue to go back to Katsuki bearing different types of flowers.

Aizawa returns that afternoon while the class where cleaning from the picnic earlier, and as he waits for them to finish cleaning so that he can say the announcement, he proceeds to go to the lobby of the dorm, where he meets Katsuki who tries handing him a drink.
“What is this?” Aizawa asks not reaching for the mug but instead looked at his student and then back to the mug
“That’s freshly boiled chamomile, it's good for people who can’t sleep,” Katsuki answers still looking at Aizawa seriously.
“Chamomile tea doesn’t work on me anymore,” Aizawa says his face relaxing, observing that the loud boy is now calm. Well, as calm as he can be as the famous scowl is still there.
“Just try it.”
Aizawa reached for the mug then sips the drink and hums in surprised appreciation “It has a bitter hint, but It’s good, but it doesn’t taste like the usual tea.”
“Cause it’s not the usual tea, I brewed fresh flowers that I’ve got just hours ago, and put some honey on it” Katsuki answers irritated.
“Where did you get the flowers? I told you not to go out of campus.”Aizawa then narrows his eyes at the Katsuki but his hands are still holding the mug.
“The bees gave it to me,” Katsuki answers looking away.
“The bees?” Aizawa repeats
“Yes! I just said the bees!” Katsuki shouted with a thump of his feet on the floor.
Aizawa thinks that it’s just the way Katsuki answers and makes a reminder to ask Iida if he knows something, which the class representative surely has.
He then proceeds to ask another question that has just come to his mind. “Who are you supposed to give this drink to?”
“You.”
“Me? ” Aizawa asks as he observes that the drink is still warm like it's just been made. "You specifically made this for me?"
“Yeah, I brewed it when they told me you’re on your way.”
“Who’s them?” Aizawa asks mentally making a tally on who can know that he's coming, is it Jiro? Did she use her quirk?
“I just told you.” Katsuki’s voice is now laced with irritation and anger.
“No, you didn’t. Bakugo, I wouldn’t ask you if I already know the answer.”
“The bees!” Bakugo answers as he walks away from his teacher.
When he found Iida he was given the same answer, it’s the bees.
The bees.
So he asks the class representative to look out for his explosive student and report anything and everything that he will notice that is not previously seen on Katsuki.
The mug is still clutched in his hands when he makes the announcement and asks for another refill when he goes out of the dorm. The refill was given to him, scowl ever-present in Bakugo’s face, but Aizawa has a small smile on his.

It was a hot day, and they just finished their rescue practical mission, nobody wants to move and almost everyone is hovered over Todoroki because of the coolness of his body temperature, because of his ice quirk.
They didn’t see that Todoroki has an uncomfortable expression on his face.
Bakugo went outside and goes back holding a bunch of flowers of red flowers in his arms.
“I don’t think you can find that flower around campus?” Sato says to himself looking at the flower that Katsuki is now holding.
But Bakugo was able to hear this and looks at Sato and answers “It’s a hibiscus breed that can only be found in the town of Karumai, it’s a blend of sweet, and sour but this particular bread has a distinctive sweetness that tastes like a tart.” He then gives a flower to Sato and instructs him to smell it.
The others are looking at the two as they talk, some are pinching others as others shush to hear the interaction of the two.
Midoriya perks up his focus solely on the two, Bakugo seeing this handed Midoriya another flower.
The two smell the flowers that were given to them.
“Oh~,” Sato says as he takes a second sniff, not noticing Bakugo leaving them. "This smells nice!"
Midoriya is clutching his, and looks like he’s going to make an experiment on the said flower. “Kaachan! It smells so good!”
“Wait- wait! Karumai is in Iwate Prefecture isn’t it?!” Kiminari shouted at Katsuki who’s going to the kitchen.
After a few minutes Katsuki reappears with a couple of pitchers and glasses in his arms, he then placed the drinks on the table and says “Drink this! And stop squeezing Half n’ half before he evaporates with all of your body heat!”
The class then looks at Todoroki who tries to say that he’s okay.
They apologize as they all went to get a drink.
Katsuki then handed Todoroki a glass that the other reached with a curios face. “Thank you. For this drink and for the-” but he wasn’t able to finish,
“Just drink the juice, Icyhot!”
And Todoroki did, and his reaction is the same as the others “This is good Bakugo. A little sour and sweet, it’s refreshing.”
Everyone returns to the lobby, all with praises in their tongue. For the first few moments, they didn’t notice that the hotness they were feeling is now gone, until Ashido does.
“I feel okay now! What’s in the drink Katsuki?”
“Didn’t you see what I was holding raccoon eyes?!”
“This flower?” Midoriya asks looking at the flower that he was holding. “How?”
“Sour things can help with heat! Nerd!” Katsuki answers as he stomps towards his room.
“Where did you get the flowers Bakugo?” Iida shouted his answer, seeing as he needs to report this to Aizawa.
“The fucking bees!” Katsuki answers as he slams his door.
乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂
Aizawa looks at numerous reports about Katsuki and the bees.
Monama is attacked by the bees when he tries to rile up Hagakure.
Flowers are being pollinated and sprouting around the dorm.
Having numerous supplies of Honey courtesy of Bakugo to Lunch Rush.
Flowers that have healing property being given to Recovery Nurse.
Flowers that have a calming effect are given to Hound Dog.
And many many more.
But the report about Katsuki being called as Queen by the bees as per Koda doesn’t make sense. Does Bakugo have another quirk?
The situation may not be disturbing rather it was helpful, but he still needs to take a look at this have this confirmed.
So he makes a call, whilst holding a cup of freshly brewed chamomile drink.
乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂乂⍲‿⍲乂
There were nights where Todoroki can’t sleep, and this is one of those nights. He still has bruises from the sprain that he and Midoriya has, but he didn’t want to occupy Recovery Girl’s time when she’s busy checking his friend, so he didn’t say that he has injuries to.
He wonders around their dorm when he hears someone singing. It’s a beautiful neutral voice.
One that he didn’t hear before, he then felt the strain that was in his left calf disappear, then the bruise in his arms disappear too.
And as he nears the sound most of his injuries are now healed. The song or the one who is singing is healing him. So he hurries to where it’s coming from.
He was then led outside the dorm near the forests, where they previously have their picnic.
And there was Katsuki at the center of the meadow, where the moon's light is shining down on him giving him an ethereal look, and was being surrounded by sort of animals, bees, and butterflies while singing.
It was Katsuki who was singing. Todoroki didn't know that Katsuki can sing, and the voice, he can't believe he can have that elegant voice.
Then he felt an itch in his scar on his face and when he touched his scar he felt that it was shrinking, he gasped.
And Katsuki hears his gasp and looks back at where he's at.
“The hell are you doing here Icyhot?! And why are you clutching your face?!” Katsuki screams as he comes near Todoroki.
When Katsuki was near him, Todoroki lowers his hands that revealed that his scar is almost gone.
Surprised, Katsuki took out his cellphone and takes a picture of him, and handed it to Todoroki.
Oh. “Oh. It seems that my scar is almost gone.”

Ending Notes :
This chapter was inspired by the scene in Jupiter Ascending where the bees recognized a queen: (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxxKtzKMb3g)
*I know that Jupiter from Jupiter Ascending isn't really a Disney princess, but I just want the intro chapter to be inspired by her, but the next ones are gonna be all Disney princesses, officially or unofficially listed. (Did you know that in certain sites they don't count Anna and Elsa as Disney princesses?)
Save the bees people! They help save the earth!
