Pairing: Bakugou x reader
Summary: Bakugou didn't realise that the hand whose help he rejected would be the one he holds for the rest of his life...
Bakugou who swears to hate your guts from that day he met you, the U.A. entrance exams, calls you an extra getting in his way when you were clearly trying to help him. Who sends you the nastiest side eye when you plop down next to him, on your assigned seat.
Bakugou who refuses to listen to any of your suggestions when you both end up being partners for projects. Drives you to the point that you end up having to go to Aizawa to hopefully get your partner changed.
Bakugou who realises that maybe your input isn't as bad as he originally thought when Aizawa forces you both to communicate. Who won't admit but he does think that you are a smart one, and he would gladly partner up with you again.
Bakugou who is smug when you both end up getting best grades on your project, who is even giddy to work with you. Who spends hours convincing himself that he is only excited because you are smart, that's it.
Bakugou who ends up sparring with you because Kirishima had a mission, who realises that not only are you smart but also strong, using your quirk in a way that leaves him baffled.
Bakugou who still picks fights with you, both still at each other's throats, it's worse now that you both are aware of each other's strengths and weaknesses. You bicker over movies during movie night, bicker over what song to play during trips.
Bakugou who is surprised to find you at his door after he was kidnapped, his mother ecstatic to see a girl coming over to see him, teasing him about finally growing up.
"The hell?! How do you know my address? Stalkin' me?" Bakugou spits out, glaring at you with his arms crossed.
"Aizawa told me, plus I wanted to meet my friend." You chimed, the word 'friend' slightly dragged out. He stared at you in disgust, cringing at your way of establishing friendship.
"Also I got spicy garlic noodles, the one you like." You had him the white bag, passing him the container.
"Did you poison it?" He was already suspicious of your presence in his house, let alone you getting him his favourite noodles.
"Can't even be kind in the economy," you spoke dramatically, hand coming to rest on your forehead, as you pretended to wipe your tears.
"I got it cause I had it few days ago, and it reminded me of you." You professed, looking over to a clock and concluding it was time to leave.
Bakugou who spends the evening thinking about how you thought of him, when you had those noodles, how you remembered how much he liked them, how you got it for him.
Bakugou who acknowledges you as a friend by the end of first year, something a little more by the first half of your second year, the war making him realise just how much everyone mean to him, just how much you mean to him.
Bakugou who somewhat considers the idea that might like you, more than a friend should, and he is scandalized, the possibility of liking you like that makes him avoid you. He doesn't need distractions, doesn't need anything to prevent him from reaching no. 1, so he avoids you.
Bakugou who starts skipping movie nights with you, starts sparring with Kirishima more often, starts taking evening shifts at Best Jeanist's agency to avoid you. Who still cares for you tho, he quietly asks Iida to help you with academics because he knows you'll get anxious, who asks Uraraka to spar with you. Who hopes his distance doesn't affect you, hurt you as much as it hurts him.
Bakugou who is startled when you show up at his door, in the middle of the night, few weeks later, tired of him avoiding you without any explanation, desperate to get him back in your life.
You look tired, eyes red and puffy like you just cried, cheeks sunken.
"I am sorry, whatever I did, I am sorry," You sniffed, eyes glossy with a new wave of tears, Bakugou felt like shit, it was his fault, was the one that wanted to distance himself and here you were apologising.
"I am sorry, I am an idiot," He confessed, hands coming up to press against his forehead," Shouldn't have pushed you awa-." He barely has a chance to continue before you wrap your arms around him, Bakugou shoves his face into the crook of your neck, finally letting go of his tears.
"I just wanna know why, I don't want our friendship to ever break, Suki." You admit, moving past him into his room, pulling him with you.
"I was being stupid," He sighed out tiredly, choosing to simply hold you tightly against his chest.
Bakugou who stays behind during 2nd year prom, with you because you didn't feel like going, who lies about not having a suit when you feel guilty about making him stay with you, both of you spend the night in his dorm, watching movies all night long. If you weren't so enamored by him you would have noticed the burnt orange tie peeking through his closet.
Bakugou who passes you notes during boring lectures, drawing little caricature of people around, writing down little notes. Who messes up his sleep schedule tutoring you before exams, helping you study, sharing his notes.
Bakugou who despite being in 3rd year still argues with you, still squabbling over which movie to watch, what to cook, but there is a difference in the way you look at each other, there is no longer hatred in your eyes, only fondness and maybe something more.
Bakugou who helps you patch up injuries after rough missions, who holds your tightly against his chest when you sob over how sometimes you don't think you are strong enough. Who cleans you up, tucks you in bed and stay with you till you feel better.
Bakugou who never bother entertaining any of the girls that come his way, eyes set on you only. Who no longer gets mad when someone from his friends group points out how much of a lover boy he is. It's true he thinks.
Bakugou who shows you his shoujo manga collection, lets you borrow them only on one condition, that you read them to him, who spends countless evenings with his head resting on your thighs, listening to you read.
Bakugou who takes you to the bookstore on your days off, both of you skipping between the shelves, pulling out a pile of mangas that you end reading all afternoon. He makes a note of the ones you liked, writing them down in his phone.
Bakugou who tags along with the squad to a night out at the club, only because you decided to go, he helps you get ready, picking out your dress, helping with your eyeliner.
The music was loud, too loud for you, Bakugou had his arm around you protecting you from the dancing crowd, if you had it your way you would have pressed yourself in his arms and hide away, but you didn't. Mina was leaving for internship after graduation, you needed to let go for tonight.
You pull away from Bakugou, semi-yelling in his ear about wanting to use the bathroom, he almost pulls away from the group, ready to accompany you there. You shake your head at him, signalling that you'll be back soon.
Finishing up, you leave the bathroom, only to be stopped by a guy your age, he was clearly drunk, slurring his words, trying to move closer, he tried to hold your hand, pulling at it. Had it been any other time, you would have knocked some sense into him. But today you were not feeling well. Your eyes darted around, trying to call someone, before they landed on Bakugou.
Bakugou who immediately starts moving towards you, when he notices your panicked look, slams the glass on to the table, in few wide strides he was already looming over the creep,"The fuck, do you think you are doing?" He growled, sliding a hand behind your back and pulling you onto his chest.
The guy scoffs before looking around in embarrassment, too afraid to stand up to Bakugou he moves away from you both, stumbling out the club.
Bakugou looks down at you, with soft eyes pulling you away from the crowd into a empty hallway. "You gonna be okay?" He asked in hushed tone, stepping back to give you space, but you cried out, hastily hugging him tight, as you breathed unevenly against him.
He wrapped his arms around you, fingers running through your hairs, the other protectively against your back. It took a few minutes for your breath to even out, and you slowly pulled away, slightly cringing at the wet stain on his shirt from your tears and potentially snot.
"I am sorry." You said, voice still a little hoarse from the crying, you didn't move to far away from him, still in his embrace, still in his arms.
"For what?" He queried.
"For being weak, for not being able to defend myself, for the snot on your shirt." You rasped, letting out a bittersweet laugh at your pathetic self.
"Don't ever apologise for asking for help, you are more than capable of taking care of yourself," He spoke softly, pulling a handkerchief out of his pocket and whipping your nose,"you just needed a little help today."
You nod your head, stepping away, glancing towards the crowded hall nervously. "Do you wanna go home, we can leave now." He hums, hand coming to caress your cheek, palm subtly covering your view of the party.
"I would like that." You lean against his palm, Bakugou helps you gather you stuff and move you both out of the club, hand never leaving yours.
Bakugou who is always with you, whether it be sitting in class, or walking in the hallway, at one point even Aizawa stopped berating you for staying in each other's room past curfew.
Staying in each other's room becomes such a prominent habit, that you can no longer distinguish between his and yours. Closets filled with both of your clothes, textbooks and notebooks scattered between shelves.
Bakugou who loves adorning you in his merch, official and unofficial both. Constantly getting you t-shirts with skulls on them, sometimes skulls with bows because he thought they were cute.
Bakugou who gets you tank-tops and t-shirts so similar to his own, that people end up asking if he actually let you borrowed them or if they are new, who gets so smug that people think you are wearing his clothes.
Bakugou who knows how cold your ears get during winter, gets you big, puffy, orange earmuffs, with boom written on the headband connecting them.
Bakugou who makes a habit of hovering over you, ends up giving you scary dog privileges, making any guy avoid you, slots his head into the crook of your neck, when someone tries to flirt with you. Somehow always attached by your side.
Bakugou who gives every guy that tries to ask you a stink eye, glaring at the guy from over your shoulder, scaring away majority of them. You have to lie to all the guys that ask you out for 3rd year prom that you aren't going, only to show up in matching outfits with Bakugou.
Bakugou who shrugs his shoulders when Kirishima questions him 'What's going on between you two?', eyes darting towards you as you shyly duck your head into his neck, Bakugou leans down pressing a kiss against your forehead.
Bakugou who confesses to you few months after your graduation, tickles your side relentlessly when you pretend to think about his proposal, you both quite down as he presses your foreheads together, breaths heavy as you wind down. You murmur a 'yes' before leaping in to kiss him.
my body cracks like a glow stick but has the audacity to not glow? despicable
For those that are going to miss the eclipse on Monday, I have created a simulation of what the eclipse will look like along the path of totality
Let them go; let yourself heal. Youโll be okay, always have been, and always will be.
OMGOMGOMG
i love my sister more than anything in this life, i will choose her happiness over mine every time.
-
bakugou katsuki and you, a relationship turned sour as you both headed into your first year of highschool, at two separate hero academies.
youโd been dating since your third year of junior high, and yet he had never come by to meet your family. although, you wouldnโt really want him to. natsuo, fuyumi and shouto were great, but your father was still stuck in his number one mindset.
heโd basically disposed of you once your quirk manifested, you took after your mother after all. your quirk, shrapnel, allowed you to produce and shoot shards of ice at your opponent, but you always ran cold as a result.
shouto, now he was exactly what your father wanted. youโd been allowed to play with your siblings growing up, allowed to do normal childhood things as you watched your twin brother get beaten down by your father. heโd come into your shared childhood bedroom in tears almost every night, and youโd be there to comfort him, every single time.
so when youโd gone to shiketsu to spite your father, youโd essentially split with shouto. developing your own life and your own personality.
all while dating his future classmate.
and when you and bakugou broke up, shouto was furious at the boy. but the blonde haired boy just chalked it up to todoroki being jealous.
until he saw you both side by side at the provisional licensing exam. he didnโt know how he missed it before, but you and todoroki looked exactly alike aside from his two-toned hair and your snowy white locks. the fact that your last name was your motherโs maiden name wasnโt helping him find out shouto was your brother.
youโd found bakugou as you were trying to outrun an entire class from another school, but what you didnโt expect was for bakugou to have a group with him.
an electric type was rather smart, despite the way he looked.
โhey, bakugou. she looks a lot like todoroki, right?โ he just stared at you, still. until he smiled, his canines visible as you were frozen in place, your shiketsu cap lying on the ground next to you as you looked up from where you were sat on the ground.
he was planning to attack you.
he sent a cluster of explosions your way, was he trying to kill you?
a block of ice appeared, taking up the blasts force as your brother ran towards you, grabbing your hand and forcing you up.
โtodoroki? what the hell are you doing, man?! sheโs the enemy!โ a spikey, red haired man was shouting at your brother who was currently dodging or deflecting every attack that was headed your way.
โsheโs not the enemy, sheโs my sister.โ
ho ho holy shit itโs december first (1st)
bakugo x reader
Bakugo and you have been dating a little over two months.
You bumped into him at the mall, accidentally running into him and spilling the both of your take out. After apologizing profusely and begging him to let you pay for his meal, you two surprisingly got along well.
Striking up a conversation while you waiting for your food to finish.
Ironically you only found out he was a pro hero after you started dating. Having heard his hero name in passing but not remembering anything about him.
Fast forward to now, you were rushing to organize your place. This would be the first time Bakugo ever came over and you knew how much of a neat freak he was.
The door bell caught your attention, wiping your sweaty palms on your pants as you went to greet him.
You were met with his figure standing tall, in his lounge clothes, and holding a bouquet of flowers. Pulling him into your home was nerve wracking, watching him survey his surroundings and taking it all in.
He analyzed all your nicknacks and plush decor. Your apartment surprisingly normal, he knew how eccentric you were and thought your apartment would show that.
Putting away the flowers in a clear vase, the two of you enjoyed each other's company. Watching movies you couldn't before because of clashing work schedules and cooking those picturesque pinterest recipes he would send you.
It was all very domestic and comfortable, there was nothing short of things to talk about as you two gossiped.
You didn't think twice when he asked you where your bathroom was, simply directing him down the hall and to the right.
He left, leaving you to hum the song you guys were listening to ask you continued cooking.
Being a pro, Bakugo knew how to follow directions and heard what you said perfectly clear. But only having seen the kitchen and living room, he got curious about the door on the left of the hall.
If Bakugo was one thing, it was nosy.
Making sure you were still busy, he gripped the door handle and slowly twisted it open. Making sure it made no noise.
What he didn't expect when he flicked on the lights was your bedroom to be covered in pro hero Deku's merchandise.
He was stunned, from top to bottom everywhere he looked what his childhood friend staring back at him. His poster hung over your bed, and your sheets had cartoon versions of him in his hero costume. Figurines sat along your desk and shelves, Deku's catchphrase etched across your rug, and your computer monitor flickered with different action shots of him.
But worst of all, the stupid chibi plushy sitting smack dab in the middle of your bed staring back at him. You had slept with Deku before you even shared a bed with him.
You didn't even know who he was when you first met, but you admired his longest friend.
He heard your footsteps approaching as you called his name. Before you walked in on him, and rushing out your explanation.
Bakugo couldn't even be upset because not long after, he found himself doing skincare with you while wearing a Deku themed face mask and wearing an extra pair of Deku themed slippers. Later slipping into your sheets as you cuddled up next to him.
The stupid Deku plushy staring back at him from the end of your bed.
Comfort AU | Just helping the blonde feel better about himself because he deserves the world.

The sound of approaching footsteps echoed throughout his silent dorm room. The only other noise being the rustling leaves outside his window - strong winds causing the autumn tree branches to sway in the chilly air beyond the glass.
"We really need to work on this habit of yours Katsuki."
The mattress slightly dips with the new added weight as she sits on the edge of his bed, likely staring at him, though he wouldn't know, as he lays backside to her - mindlessly staring at the wall.
He told her to not show, yet she did anyway, as always.
"Go away Y/N."
If only he'd looked at her, then he would've seen the way she simply smiled at his remark, unbothered by his blunt words.
She slowly lays beside him to make herself comfortable, a small yawn escaping her as she turns on her side to face his back.
"You can't keep pushing me away" she says softly, so much so that it could be considered a whisper.
"I said go away."
"I think your hurting-"
"Stop it" he mumbles, sharply cutting off her words with a huff. As his body tensed from her field of view.ย
But he knows she isn't one to back down.
"You know.... to me you're the most important hero in my life" she hums, her hand slowly wrapping around his torso to spoon him from behind.
He doesn't push her away - making her only be met with silence. Seems he's already lost the urge to fight back, which only heightens her concerns.
Her grip on him tightens at that realization, "You don't have to blame yourself Katsuki, you're only human."
She doesn't say much after that, understanding the best form of comfort for him is offering silence.
In other terms - the invitation to speak if needed, while staying by his side, waiting patiently for him to let her in.
As time passes, she doesn't know how long it's been, the only thing occupying her mind being the urge to get a glimpse of his face.
He hasn't made a sound or moved in a while. Has he fallen asleep?
Her own question gets answered as she takes notice of his sudden shaking body, making her heart lurch at the immediate breakdown, his emotions finally reaching a breaking point.
Small sniffles escaping him as he finally lets his walls break down.
".....please let me hug you properly" she whispers, biting the inside of her cheek to not cry alongside him. It's not often he's so vulnerable like this, that she can't help but to feel pain at his own suffering.
It takes him a moment but he reluctantly shifts around, finally facing her as those red glossed orbs meet hers.
On that pretty face typically seen with his signature scowl now lies a defenseless version of Katsuki that only those closest to him get to witness.
"....hurts..."
Her eyes slightly widen at his small mumble, her body quickly moving on its own, pulling him into a tight embrace as one hand caresses his back while the other gently runs through his hair.
It doesn't take long as he decides to cling to her, burying himself against her body as muffled sobs escape him.
Silent tears flow down her face as she presses soft kisses against his scalp, "I know... but I'll listen. When you're ready, okay?"
He quietly nods beside her, pulling himself closer as she drapes the blanket over the two of them. It takes him a while but "....sorry for earlier."
"mhm i know katsuki."
There's no doubt in her mind that she's the only one with the privilege to hold him like this - so she'll wait for him, listen to his troubles and soothe the blonde seeking refuge.
In her eyes she doesn't see the angry hothead who strangers tend to avoid in the halls, but a wounded boy attempting to fix his past mistakes and accept himself to move forward.
Maybe this time - she can be his hero.

a/n ||| this was inspired by an album called 'Cry' by Cigarettes After Sex (specifically the song 'cry' which can be heard at 27:44-32:01) : link! I think Bakugo is such a complex character and as seen in the show he often struggles with personal issues. In this fic, it's up to your interruption on what he's battling against! tags ||| @leleyro @zaiban2989 เป๊ฐเพเฝฒ ยดเนย ฬซเน`ย ๊ฑเพเฝฒแ

Crush AU | A short oneshot of the blonde trying to assassinate her through his cooking skills. And it somehow leading to a massive realization - thank god for noodles, laughs and sparks of love?

โAgh- how could you eat stuff like this?!โ
She flinches as the spicy noodles hit the surface of her tongue. The seasoned aroma entering her lungs and creeping its way up.
Causing her eyes to water the more she chews yet this is only her third spoonful.
Y/N wanted to prove him wrong for once.
That she could handle the spice.
But her taste buds went against her wishes.
Immediately understanding she overestimated her own limits - she quickly taps out and pushes the bowl of noodles across the table.
Not wanting to be near that monstrosity he cooked up in the kitchen. He must be psychotic to eat such things, that dish could kill!
โOkay okay you win!โ she says, practically sweating as her body begins reacting to the poison known as Bakugos noodles.
Who the hell could eat such spice and not react?!
Accepting her loss, she grabs the glass of milk that the blonde poured out for her earlier.
As if he knew she would lose.
Chugging the cold liquid with urgency, letting it sit in her mouth as a makeshift antidote for the stinging pain on her tongue.
If things couldnโt get worse, it somehow does, as she feels her nose grow runny.
The combination of the spice and her tears - leads to this tragedy of a look on her.
A disappointed pout on her face as she holds the glass thatโs now half full.
She doesnโt dare look in his direction.
Not wanting to see the look of triumph on his face, that smug grin that annoys her to bits.
That is until she hears laughter.
A sound so unfamiliar that she peeks in his direction.
She can see the way he holds his stomach - his eyes squinting with delight.
Multiple chuckles exiting his mouth, finding the whole situation amusing.
In an instant, warmth completely overtakes her body.
And she doesnโt know if itโs from the spicy noodles or the sight of him.
She has never seen him laugh this hard till now and is frozen in place, not daring to look away from this bizarre turn of events.
โHah! I told you idiot, as if you can beat me in a challenge of spice!โ
He covers his mouth with his hand, stifling the laughs threatening to escape.
โY-You look so stupid!โ he looks away to not wheeze at the sight of her. The way simple noodles could have her on the verge of a breakdown was peak comedy to him.
She is unable to respond, her mind completely forgetting about the aches of pain on her tongue.
Her eyes fixated on the new sight before her - his enjoyment being the source of her fast heartbeat and heated face.
It was just the two of them in the dining hall of the UA dorms but that's all ruined as she hears the sound of the elevator doors open. Footsteps exiting as whoever it is, begins approaching the lobby.
Without much thinking, she grabs a plastic plate and shields the side profile of his face. Her body moving on pure instinct as if protecting something worth value.
She hides him from passersby who are too engrossed in their private conversations to notice the duo at the table.
And she feels an odd sense of relief.
โWhat the hell are you doing?โ he mumbles, his brows furrowing with confusion, peeking over the plate to see their classmates leaving the building.
Spotting nothing out of the ordinary, he looks back at her with a calculating look. Expecting her to explain the odd reaction that came out of nowhere.
Wait what-
Realization dawns upon her and she can feel the rapid increase of suspense and her jitters.
Why did she do that?
Now embarrassed, she quickly lowers the plate, averting her gaze, โah I justโฆ.โ
Thoughts swirl around her mind for a moment but the conclusion remains the same.
Sheโs glad no one else saw his smile. For some reason, wanting to keep the sight to herself, to relish in this new experience.
Her eyes begin widening as she connects the dots.
Oh.
โOi you good nerd?โ he tilts his head, both eyeing her down and completely oblivious to her inner turmoil.
Her eyes land back on his face, the smile no longer present as he's back to his usual self.
At that moment... Y/N could only wish heโd start smiling again.
"I-I need to blow my nose!"
She practically jumps out of her seat, running to the kitchen, hands pressed against her face.
Heat radiating off her face so intensely that she wondered if she had caught a fever.
The only sensible answer to this whole thing was so simple but nonetheless sudden.
Feeling like a love struck fool, she leaves him ultimately dumbfounded.
Yet in his mind - he's already planning what to cook for her next, secretly enjoying the banter between them.
Assuming the reason for her unexplainable actions is simply from the food he prepared.
He stares at her from afar, the sight of her splashing cold water on her face, has him involuntarily forming a smile at her ridiculous actions.
"What an idiot."
