Au where Bakugou is the JockTM and Izuku is the NerdTM, but Izuku secretly joins an underground fighting ring and has to hide that fact whenever he’s late for school or has to scrub off the blood on his shirt or smthg
Bakugou is the jock but he gets into scuffles and playful fights, not fucking bloody beaten-half-to-death fight clubs - which is why when he’s walking home alone one night and hears a bunch of noise, he walks toward it to find Izuku in his nerd clothes beating the absolute shit out of 3 older men, curb-stomping them, then getting out his All MightTM handkerchief to wipe the blood off his hands and saying “You’ll have to try again next time, guys! Seems like you’re still no match for me.”
Bakugou is horrified and actually kind of scared that he’s been kinda-sorta-teasing-and-making-fun of Izuku and all this time the nerd has had the power to kill him
They are more or less just rivals but only in terms of tests and grades! Not beat downs and broken legs and jaws!
Bakugou: DOES YOUR MOM KNOW ABOUT THIS??
Izuku, wiping the blood off his glasses: Obviously not, Kacchan, do you really think she’d let me do this?
Bakugou: But... I thought you were a goody-two-shoes! You’re super nice to everyone, even the teachers!!
Izuku: How else am I going to convince them to lay off me? If I didn’t get them on my good side, they’d totally be asking questions about where I was and stuff
Bakugou: 😨
Back when they were kids, Izuku was inspired when he and Katsuki would get bullied by the neighborhood kids and Katsuki would fight them and send them away, and Izuku would watch, in awe of his childhood friend’s strength. They eventually grew apart, not as close as they used to be and only just recently starting to repair what they had, but it still inspired Izuku to join his own fighting ring because he loved the pay-off when after a long hard day he’d get to take it out on people who WANTED to fight
Bakugou quit that shit in middle school and has since mostly grown away from that violent streak, and now he’s a jock but he’s one of those who only seems super scary but is actually quite nice in his own way. He’s quit the fighting scene, which is why when he finds out Izuku is doing this, he’s so shocked cause he never expected it
Bakugou, bandaging Izuku up: You gotta be more careful, stupid Deku!
Izuku: Kacchan, I’ve had worse than this, I’m fine
Bakugou:
Bakugou: WORSE?! WORSE THAN A BROKEN ARM??
Izuku: I mean YEAH! One time this woman with short hair brought an actual rifle to the fight, and-
Bakugou, already getting gray hairs: *head in hands*

Bonus, because I’m a sucker for Izuku and the League interacting:
The League are older teens who are the School Rivals that everybody hates and everyone just thinks they are super mean bullies, but they actually do join in with Izuku in the fighting rings and they used to patch Izuku up before Bakugou started doing it
The League have their own fighting ring but the guy who owns it is a creepy asshole, violent and manipulative with that wide grin stretching his face the entire goddamn time, and Izuku promised to get stronger and fuck this guy up for the League, so the League decided to come over every now and then and patch him up
Izuku went through an entire enemies-to-friends bonding character development arc without Bakugou ever even knowing lmao
So when one night, Bakugou comes over to heal Izuku’s wounds, he finds the League are already there taking care of him, and shenanigans ensue. Turns out, that Shigaraki guy is actually quite protective over that stupid nerd, like some sort of big brother, and the League do their own fair share of protective fussing, so Bakugou’s gotta learn to share it seems
