#pretty Katsuki believers how does it feel to always win
Note
You know, I still think about how like... Katsuki has never actually had a proper 1v1 vs a villain character ever. Like, it's always been with another person. All of his fights where he could shine... are against other heroes. And most of the fights where villains are involved, he loses pretty badly. But it's more than just that. Izuku's original design was going to basically be Japanese Anime Batman, being quirkless and using equipment and an adult. Katsuki's original design was going to be a nice person who just had no tact and was brutally honest. Apparently, that original design for Izuku was believed that it would cause him to fade into the background according to Horikoshi's editors, and Katsuki's original design was considered too freaking boring according to Horikoshi himself. And yet fast forward to the current events of the manga where... I genuinely don't even know what Izuku's personality is any more because all his idea of strategy is basically gone, it's just basically 'unleash overwhelming power', and he really has no character outside of being a vessel for the Protag Powers. And then you have Katsuki, who jobs constantly, the entire story basically feels like he was intended to be the original protagonist with how often he's shoved into everything and is just sucked off despite his jobbing as if he's more important to the plot than anyone else. Like fuck, Katsuki is literally listed as being an abusive egotist in the guidebook, and Kirishima has an entire thing in his backstory about being the victim of bullying yet he's completely okay with Katsuki, a character who is actively hostile to everyone and is abrasive AT BEST. Like I get they're high schoolers (which I genuinely don't understand with how they act considering high schoolers were more intelligent than this for me growing up) but fuck Horikoshi's writing makes fucking everyone so god damn stupid the moment Katsuki is involved. Anyway, I needed to vent after I was catching up on World Trigger and realising 'yeah I actually enjoy this arc because we have character personality conflicts and the individuals have to work them out because they're stuck together for a week. Oh and they actually talk to each other and you know, HAVE FUCKING BRAINS, and actively try and work on these flaws that are coming up', and getting incredibly mad that the entire character writing into MHA at this point is basically SMASH THIS NO STRATEGY and personally I blame the story constantly sucking off Bakugou who's supposed intelligence just feels informed and contrived because of his behaviour. Intelligent strategist but incredibly socially dumb my god. And he's so socially dumb he subtracts from everyone else's intelligence to get him to suck him off. I genuinely do not understand why the Bakusquad exists considering the personality conflicts there, especially with Kaminari outright stating his personality was raw sewage at one point early on and yet we're supposed to believe that Bakugou has grown and atoned as a person whilst still being a rabid dumbass who gets his ass kicked.
That’s an interesting point. A majority of Katsuki’s fights, the ones where he wins, are against fellow heroes in training. In terms of villains, he’s only ever fought Tomura, Nine, the canon fodder in the USJ, and the minions in the movies (with help).
I agree with what you said about Proto Katsuki in that he would’ve been far more interesting, or at least far more tolerable. I’d rather have a boring character than an outright terrible one. Like you mentioned before, everyone who interacts with Katsuki is made 100% dumber and is forced to neglect key components of their character just so that Hori can wank off his fave and push this “he has potential and is strong” narrative. I also agree that unfortunately it does feel like Izuku’s been reduced to “punch everything with a lot of force” rather than the creative fighter he was before. There was a really great analysis I just read that explains this. I blame it on Hori trying to wrap up his story as quickly as he can.
This is the analysis in question btw:

Tell us how you’d be caustic to each other 👀
Aight Nonny 👀 you got it.
We'll start with Katsuki. Both of us have screaming matches sometimes, yelling at each other and nitpicking over the smallest fucking thing because we are both too prideful or independent or stupid to be able to express or take the time to analyze our feelings so we sometimes take it out on each other. Even times with physical altercations when out tempers get absolutely out of control. Each match ending in the infamous line of "Then fucking break up with me." Katsuki would then push me up against a wall and make out with me, hoping sex will fix the issue and angry sex normally does but it's not a long term fix. And maybe one day we both let slip, just to hurt the other or so caught up in our rage that it's true even for the fleeting moment "I don't love you anymore." Eventually Katsuki believes it doesn't go the route of angry sex. He'll start packing his shit and I won't say anything. Just sit on the couch and emotionally pull away. Thinking I'll be so fucking happy when the house is quiet and he's gone, sleeping on Kirishima's couch and he'd done it before, he'd wait til we both cool down before he comes home. He'd open the door and we both apologize the second we see each other.
But something is different about it this time, this time there is a finality to it and when he slams the door shut, the pictures of us rattling in their frames, I do what I always do and push it away until I can't stand to even sit with myself anymore.
Izuku would just take the rage and anger, just like he did growing up with Kaachan, the rage he can handle but the depression, well he doesn't know what the fuck to do. Izuku has tried everything, helping me find an outlet, exercise, taking me to appointments I always cancel. Literally trying to help me as best he can but you really can't save someone from their mental illness and it's a little difficult for him to wrap his head around some days. And soon he'll get tired of battling something he can never win, he'll place the blame on himself, he isn't good enough, can't make me happy enough, I deserve someone who can actually be my hero. He will slowly pull away and I'll notice, oh I'll notice and I'll pretend it doesn't hurt because it happens eventually with everyone anyway. I try to show less symptoms around him, to be more normal but it doesn't fix it and eventually we turn into strangers who happen to be roommates. He'll break up with me, he'll be gentle and he'll have even called some of my friends to show up after he leaves. He'll leave me the stuff he bought because I like it or still use it, he'll have paid everything for the rest of the lease and he'll reassure me that it was him and not me when I know damn well it was me.
Nagi would continue to choose video games over me and I would turn off the internet for attention and if he had a work around to that I'd cut the power cords to his shit. Eventually soccer will take over as a priority, I'll lie and say I'm fine with that until one day I just stop showing up to his matches all together, he's stopped looking for me in the crowd three games ago and to be honest he doesn't notice until someone else points out that I haven't been there for half the season.
Hakuji 😔 I would push this man away so many times. String him along if we weren't dating because I'd be so selfish with him, I don't want him to be with anyone else but I know I'm not the best match for him. That he deserves better and that someone else would really eat up his princess treatment that he gives his s/o. Eventually I'd just ghost him and it'd take him a minute to decide to let go and when I see him with a pretty girl that doesn't look anything like me or act anything like me, I'd be bitter as hell. She'd be soft and kind, gentle and the epitome of feminity and I'd myself that I was right, that I was never his type in the first place.

BnHA Chapter 316: We've Had One, Yes, But What About Second Explosion
Previously on BnHA: Deku was all “[powers up like whoa because it’s time to end the fight]”, and he saved Overhaul from getting not-shot, and then smashed up Nagant’s arm with the power of his new rechargeable super knees. Nagant was all “yoooo this kid is crazy strong whaaaat, it’s like he’s some kind of protagonist or something.” Deku was all “I AM A PROTAGONIST, ACTUALLY, DO YOU WANT TO JOIN FORCES AND FIGHT BAD GUYS WITH ME?” Nagant was all “ah shit why the hell no -- ” and then AFO was all “SURPRISE” and everyone was all “?!?!?!” and AFO was all “TIME TO EXPLODE NOW” and made Nagant explode because he’s an absolute fucking dick. And then Hawks showed up, because Horikoshi just wanted to stuff as many plot points as humanly possible into a single chapter I guess.
Today on BnHA: Hawks is all “good job giving motivational shounen redemption speeches Deku but I’ll take it from here” and screams very earnestly right in Nagant’s face until she finally wakes up. Nagant is all “oh hey it’s my successor, you seem surprisingly unfucked-up from your own HPSC tenure, how did you manage that?” Hawks is all “fandom is going to love hearing this one, but basically it’s because I’m very upbeat and also I had the world’s best role model Endeavor to look up to,” and I swear this man stirs the pot on purpose, but damn it I still love him so damn much. Overhaul is all “HELLO AGAIN, JUST A REMINDER THAT, THE BOSS!!” and Deku is all “MAYBE TAKE TWO SECONDS TO REFLECT ON HOW YOU TORTURED A LITTLE GIRL,” which, thank you, lol. Nagant is all “btw AFO’s hiding in a house in the woods”, and so Deku and the gang go to the house in the woods. Video recording!AFO is all “hi I’m AFO welcome to Jackass” and blows up the house. Sometimes I wonder if this manga is just a weird dream.
I am once again reading the Bean version because I think it was actually the best out of all three translations last week. and that is surprisingly including Viz’s. “faux” is not nearly as entertaining as “knockoff”, and also I have literally no idea why Caleb thought Deku was saying the Third’s lines lol
oh hey, Endeavor’s here too! not that you’d ever be able to tell from this first panel lmao
Tumblr media
glad you received All Might’s call, mysterious unidentified glowing smudge
oh snap he says he’s weaker in the rain. is that why AFO told Nagant to attack then?? except that as we discussed the other day, I believe that AFO fully intended for Nagant to lose the fight, so him giving her info that would give her an advantage doesn’t really fit in with that. maybe he wanted Deku to be separated from Endeavor and the rest for maximum angst, though
btw Deku’s eyes are unsurprisingly back to the new normal here
Tumblr media
alas, the angst continues. I say, pretending like I’m not totally eating it up each and every week and writing essay after essay about it lol
anyway so apparently Hawks can’t actually fly lmao. he was just yeeting himself with style
Tumblr media Tumblr media
for some reason this is the funniest fucking thing I’ve ever seen omfg. wave to Hawks, kids! say “bye, Hawks!”
j/k of course Deku is catching them. -- except???
Tumblr media
wow so he was just running on fumes there at the end. well, good to know there is actually a limit to his shenanigans, particularly regarding this new “knockoff” 100% OFA. it will definitely not alleviate any of the discourse, but it’s good for my own peace of mind because it’s solid confirmation that he still needs his pals in order to win this thing
anyway, but on to the rest of this conversation, which is basically Deku deducing what we all deduced last week -- AFO implanted some sort of trap into Nagant when he gave her Air Walk. though I’d still like to get the actual details from AFO and/or Horikoshi, because this was particularly wild even by quirk standards lol
omgggggg
Tumblr media
she still has a face after all!! so it’s confirmed, Horikoshi has no idea what “blowing up” actually means. we might have guessed, based on what happened to Toga in the MVA arc, and also based on everything Katsuki does ever, but shhh
so now Hawks is all “NAGANT PLEASE WAKE UP, IF I SHOUT MY NAME AT YOU WILL THAT DO THE TRICK”
Tumblr media
this is actually kind of touching though because even though we all know (or most of us acknowledge at any rate) that Hawks is a pretty caring person, it’s rare to see him actually panic over someone’s welfare like this
oh shit Horikoshi is really doubling down on it
Tumblr media
I wonder how much Hawks knew about what really happened between Nagant and the HPSC. regardless, he probably sees her as a kindred spirit of sorts, and I’m more than happy for Deku to pass the redemption torch onto him now that he’s on the scene. like no offense Deku but they actually know each other and stuff lol
DAMMIT NAGANT CAN’T YOU SEE HOW LOUD HE IS YELLING
Tumblr media
apparently being freed from his HPSC shackles has finally given Hawks the space to embrace his own inner shounen protagonist. is there anything more shounen than trying to motivationally scream someone awake when they’re lying in your arms inches from death?? 100% guaranteed to work
!!! IS THIS NAGANT’S POV OMG
Tumblr media
SO SHE IS ALIVE. THANK GOD. Horikoshi doesn’t want to meet with my emotional distress lawyer today after all
love how she’s all “just gonna stir up the weekly Hawks Discourse pot here by implying that he probably committed a lot of Atrocities just like I did, so now people can get all hopped up about that, even though there’s no evidence he’s ever killed anyone aside from that one horrible ‘damned-if-you-do...’ situation with Twice.” no one asked for your provocative speculation young lady!! trust me Nagant, our rabbles don’t need the rousing lol
but nice save there with the “so how are your eyes so untainted” well you see it’s because even when he was following the HPSC’s orders he always went to great lengths never to go against his own moral compass. which just to be clear was incredibly difficult, and led to a ton of pain and suffering on his part, because the life of a spy is basically just one impossible situation after another. but in spite of that he never stopped trying to do his best to help people. I don’t really know where this tangent came from or is leading to, lol, but anyway p.s.a. I love Hawks a lot and he’s a good kid dammit
oh shit??!?
Tumblr media
how is the League always able to swing all these fancy forest mansions. where do they find them. how many do they have
so Deku’s dropping them -- very roughly, not sure if he was reacting to finally getting AFO’s location, or if his energy really is giving out -- and now Nagant’s saying that AFO hired other villains as well. well of course he did. gotta keep chipping away at OFA’s ninth successor little by little
now Nagant is asking Hawks how he’s able to keep making “that” face. I assume she’s again talking about the fact that he somehow didn’t let the HPSC wear down his spirit
oh my god???
Tumblr media
thanks for stuffing this chapter to the brim with good nutritional Hawks Feels, Horikoshi. what a good. he just keeps on trudging forward undeterred no matter what bullshit comes his way. what a steadfast little guy. I WILL PROTECT YOU FROM DISCOURSE MY SWEET SUNSHINE
lmaoooo
Tumblr media
“SPOTTED THIS DUDE JUST CHILLING OUT THERE ON THE ROOF WITH NO ARMS, SEEMED PRETTY SUS” good job Endeavor
anyway so you don’t really need me to tell you that Overhaul is immediately starting in with the “BUT THE BOSS WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO TAKE ME TO THE BOSS YOU PROMISED YOU WOULD TAKE ME TO THE BOSS” stuff again. but I will go ahead and tell you anyway. so yeah. he’s doing that
OMG YOU GUYS LOOK AT DEKU’S “of all the fucking assholes to just randomly drop in on my life once again why did it have to be you” FACE THOUGH, OMG
Tumblr media
fun fact, if you go back to chapters 124 through 160, there was an entire story arc where Overhaul imprisoned and tortured a little girl. yeah, I know!! suuuuuuuuper evil. anyways just an interesting little anecdote for you all that’s somewhat relevant to the current situation
OMG, YES. FUCK YES, DEKU
Tumblr media
THEN WHAT ABOUT SPARING ONE FOR HER!!! YES!!! EXACTLY!!! JESUS FUCKING CHRIST, SOMEONE GETS IT
HERE’S THE PANEL OF DEKU SAYING THE EXACT SAME THING I’M SAYING LOL
Tumblr media
(ETA: so apparently there’s some discourse about this because some people are interpreting this as Deku saying “you should apologize to Eri”, which would obviously be a terrible idea even if Overhaul actually wanted to do that, because Eri shouldn’t ever have to see him again. however I just want to point out that there is a HUGE difference between saying “it would be nice if you could direct that feeling of regret/being sorry towards Eri as well”, vs saying “you should also apologize to her.” all Deku is doing is rightfully pointing out that Overhaul has hurt way more people than just his boss, and if he really is remorseful, then he should extend those feelings of remorse to Eri and the rest as well. it’s not a directive to take any specific action, and I’m 1000% sure no one at U.A. would let Overhaul within 100 miles of Eri ever again.
tl;dr “try feeling remorse sometime” =/= “do you want me to fly you over to U.A. right now to surprise the little girl you traumatized”, lol.)
[slings an arm around Deku’s shoulders] you’re a good kid. I like you. I don’t know if I tell you that enough, but it’s true
meanwhile here is Overhaul’s “spare... a thought... for Eri...???????” face sigh
Tumblr media
the struggle is real y’all
(ETA: and that’s... the last we ever saw of Overhaul, I guess? well all right then. I assume Deku will make good on his promise, so we know he’ll get that little bit of closure before going back to jail or whatever, and I confess I’m more than fine with leaving the rest of it open-ended, especially given his character’s history. I think this was pretty generous all things considered.)
lmao holy shit
Tumblr media
All Might what did you do to those tiki torch guys?? did you thrash them. did you give ‘em those hands. did you deliver their own asses to them complete with a sticker reminding them Amazon Prime Day is on June 21. we missed out goddammit
so Endeavor, who wasn’t the one he was asking, is telling him that they captured (well let’s be real, Deku captured, give the credit where it’s due) Nagant and Overhaul. and so I guess they’re going to take Nagant to the ER now
Tumblr media
fire is no one’s weakness
-- oh my GOD I scrolled down and audibly gasped
Tumblr media
[is politely but firmly approached and asked to remove my arm from Deku’s shoulder by the physical manifestation of all this Dekuangst] “we’re sorry, he’s not allowed to have visitors right now” oh shit, my bad. [goes to stand behind a police barricade]
lmao what. did you run out of room on the previous page
Tumblr media
what an exaggerated fade to black lmao
-- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tumblr media
I actually can’t see what he’s reacting to so maybe I’m just seriously jumping the gun here lol, but THE HELL WITH IT. the next panel appears to be a cut to Haibori Forest, so I’m just gonna go ahead and declare that Deku ran off on his own all wounded to go have more Dekuangst, just like I manifested. now go call Katsuki goddammit
[scrolls three more inches down] oh
Tumblr media
yeah so like I said, Deku is walking very slowly a few feet in front of Endeavor, who’s telling him to wait up. yep. we’ve all gotta be so careful to not just jump to conclusions. I know we’re excited but still
anyway, so! welcome back to Mt. Lady and Kamui Woods (ARE YOU GUYS DATING) and Edgeshot! have fun walking into this obvious trap lol
dammit Deku why are you so determined to tempt fate
Tumblr media
[monkey puppet meme faces]
OH MY GOD THIS IS PURE GRADE-A CHEESY COMIC BOOK VILLAIN 101 SHIT AND I’M HERE FOR IT
Tumblr media
that’s such a weird way of clapping who claps like that
unlike certain other people who shan’t be named, AFO doesn’t feel the need to inexplicably take his shirt off when recording sinister villain monologues. I think we’re all pretty grateful for that
high fives to everyone who called it!! yep yep
anyway so this whole scene has major booby-trap vibes, which I’m enjoying immensely even though I don’t think anything is really going to come of it lol. probably just another long-winded AFO Speech. but wouldn’t it be funny if like the ceiling started lowering down to try and squish Deku afterwards lol
(ETA: well the explosion was still pretty funny too ngl.)
ffff
Tumblr media
[“Dekuangst is the trap” intensifies]
anyway so yeah. he’s just hitting up all of his usual villain talking points. we get it, you’re so smart and you see right through the thin veneers of society and people who don’t conform are left to fend for themselves and labeled as villains and history is written by the victors, and blah blah blah dude are you just jumping randomly from one soundbyte to another lol. literally what are you talking about. what does this have to do with you blowing up Nagant
-- holy shit??
Tumblr media
[”Dekuangst is the trap” intensifies MORE?????]
LOL WHAT
Tumblr media
BRO. WHAT IS WITH YOU. DON’T YOU KNOW HOW TO LAY ANY OTHER KIND OF FUCKING TRAP GOOD LORD
“YOU’RE NEXT” THE CALLBACK?? THE PARALLELS?? THOUGH WHEN ALL MIGHT POINTED HE MADE IT LOOK WAY COOLER. AFO’S POINTING JUST LOOKS LIKE SMOKEY THE BEAR
HAS ANYONE CHECKED IN ON KAMUI WOODS I HEAR HE IS WEAK TO FIRE?? THE ONLY ONE WHO IS, APPARENTLY
r.i.p. to this particular forest mansion. don’t worry they have a ton of backups
remember last week when I said maybe AFO thinks explosions are gauche. well never mind. he fucking loves explosions
anyway so that’s the end of BnHA, everyone. hope you enjoyed. it was a good ride while it lasted. see you all, good luck in your travels

So guess who finally finished Season 4 and this is their first MHA fic??
It’s me 🤸🏽‍♀️ so in honor of not forgetting about it, I wanted to write some headcanons for some of the boys. So the trend is one partner complains about their shirt smelling and their partner leans down to smell and gets their forehead kissed (I did this with Obey Me if anyone’s interested 😌) Forgive me if it’s OOC, its been a minute since I watched it 🙏🏾Reader is gender neutral!
The Boys and Forehead Kisses (Midoriya, Bakugou, Todoroki, and Kirishima) (Tiktok Trend)
Midoriya
Of course, he’ll smell your shirt! You do work hard, and he understands. He might actually what you to smell him too
He’s glad to help either way!
So when he feels your lips on his forehead, he is blushing
It didn’t register that it was a prank until you burst out laughing
He was embarrassed at first, but he just smiled at your antics. He loves to hear your giggles and see you smile, and if a little embarrassment means that he gets to achieve that, then it’s okay for him
And the prank wasn’t harmful at all, and he might have to try it on you once he gets the confidence
If you give him kisses in public, he gets so flustered and turns red so quick you’re scared he’s gonna overheat or something. So for his sake, you always save it for when it’s just you two
He smiles and blushes so bright every time you do, he can’t help it
They honestly become a motivation/pick me up for him, and he’s so grateful for them. He knows that it started out as a silly prank, but it really has become something so special to him
It lets him know that he has to achieve his goal and if he ever does have days where he feels weakened or second guessing himself, you’re there to help him get back on his feet
You did try to do the prank again, but he wrestled you into his lap and gave you the kiss instead
You weren’t upset about it and definitely encouraged him to do it again
Definitely becomes a thing whenever either one of you are down in the dumps. Becomes a helpful solution along with some much needed cuddles
Bakugou
He is not smelling your damn shirt, wtf
The hell is wrong with you, just change if you think it stinks!
You either try and tackle him or you annoy him to the point that he chased you around and you trick him by giving him a face full of your shirt after he catches you
He’s practically foaming at the mouth until you kissed his forehead
He froze and softly pushed you off, face turning completely scarlet. You thought that he would try and wipe it off by now-
“Just say that you want a kiss next time, damn weirdo!”
He sounds aggravated, but he isn’t moving his arms from around you, and he’s trying to hide his face from your sight, which he’s failing at but you keep your mouth closed
You do find this extremely cute though
He doesn’t have time to worry about getting forehead kisses from his partner, he’s trying to be the number one hero and how can he do that if he’s distracted by your shitty kisses?!
He’s lying and doesn’t know how to admit that he actually likes them and is way too stubborn/prideful to ask for more
However, you do start to catch on after he just...stares at you. You thought that you did something, and every time you would ask, he would just deny it and glare harder
After a draining day, you just crashed into bed, sweaty clothes and all, right next to him. He “asked” demanded that you smell his shirt to make sure your stink didn’t get on him, and you thought nothing of it until you felt something and was shocked
Katsuki Bakugou used your own prank against you and kissed your forehead
His face was beginning to turn red and when he finally did made eye contact with you, he was trying to look confident and bragging about using your own trick against you. You just laughed and agreed with him, not missing the small smile or the soft look he gave you
So you found out a new fact about your boyfriend: he actually likes forehead kisses but don’t ever try to give it to them in public
He has threatened to blow you up more than once. He’s bluffing, but he did almost body slammed you once after you jumped on him in a surprise attack
But give him forehead kisses when it’s just you two and he can only pretend to hate it for so long. Soon enough he’ll be mad at you because he hasn’t gotten a kiss in a while
But seriously give him forehead kisses when he’s having a rough day or feel like he’s not doing enough, and it’ll remind him that he does have people that support him
He has to be number 1 not only for himself, but for you too
Todoroki
You just smell the same to him, but if it makes you feel better he’ll do it for you
He’s confused when he feels you kiss his forehead, and he honestly believes that he accidentally hit your mouth
Poor boy is so touch starved he doesn’t know any better
You had to grab his face and just outright kiss his forehead after he apologized and tried to move away from you
His face turned red, but man he is so happy about it. You can tell in his smile and the way that he gazes at you
I think out of all the boys, Todoroki is the main one that really likes your kisses. I mean really likes them and isn’t afraid to ask for more
Granted he doesn’t ask you in front of everyone, but he doesn’t really care if people see either. If someone overhears or sees you two, then oh well, it’s not stopping him from getting his kisses. But he doesn’t mind having some privacy either to get some other kisses
It makes him feel serene every time you do kiss his forehead, like he’s at peace and doesn’t have to worry about anything. There’s no family problems, no Endeavor, it’s just you and your kisses, and it makes him smile every time
He will pout if he doesn’t get them, and while it is very cute, his smile suits him much better
Kirishima
100% smells your shirt. Feels like it’s unmanly if he doesn’t, plus he’s smelled worse. He’s a more “go with the flow” type of person anyway
And you always smell good, so if you don’t stink then it’s a win-win!
So he didn’t get why his forehead was kissed, but when he looked up and saw you smiling
Feeling your lips on his forehead made him blush and smile so hard, he could feel his cheeks hurting
Picks you up and swings you around, starts with kissing your lips, your forehead, and then pretty much everywhere on your face
He’s an addict for your kisses
Definitely becomes a thing, and unlike Bakubro, doesn’t care if it’s in public. He has no shame in getting his kisses anywhere, anytime! That hero exercise went well? Give him a forehead kiss to celebrate! Going on a mission? A forehead kiss is a must, no exceptions. Going to bed? Doesn’t matter if you guys are sleeping in the same bed, he won’t get a goodnight sleep without it
He loves getting forehead kisses from you, and he loves giving them too
The girls think it’s cute, Iida thinks it’s inappropriate and the Bakusquad (minus Mina and Kiri obviously) thinks it’s the most disgusting display in the world and they gag
But he just laughs and goes for another kiss, they don’t know what they’re missing out on!
But he’s happy that he gets to keep your kisses all to himself

*hands you an AU dump to hoard like a little goblin handing a small coin to a dragon*
OKAY so basically: after the doctor's visit where Izuku learns he's quirkless (I hc that they went when he was about five n' a half), Inko does a little bit of research on quirks and more specifically on her son's notebooks, learns that he's even more brilliant at quirk analysis than she originally suspected, and (after looking at some not great quirkless statistics) she instead informs Izuku that no, he's had a quirk all along! It's an analysis quirk!
So she updates the quirk registry, and Izuku goes through his life believing he has an analysis quirk, albeit teased for being a late bloomer, but he still can't shake the insecurity being quirkless for that one and a half year gave him.
He does research on all sorts of things, hacking, knife throwing, first aid, and building his own support gear and takes to all of it like a duck to water. He also does research on UA's policy for support gear in the entrance exam (cause surely they've gotta have a policy for non-offensive quirks like Koda and Hagakure) and finds that he can take one with him if he builds it himself. He goes fuckin bonkers.
Anyways: he trains with Katsuki, cause they're relationship is pretty good since Izuku has a 'quirk.' They both demolish the entrance exam. (Also Izuku kinda swears a lot because Katsuki rubs off on him)
Aizawa doesn't notice a goddamn thing is amiss until the battle trials on the second day (he decides to shadow All Might that day), where when he was using his quirk to silence his students while Izuku was rambling, he just didn't stop, as if he didn't notice anything was wrong. It happens again during the USJ.
So at some point during the sports festival, Nedzu (who is now intrigued because of Aizawa's complaining) invites Izuku into his office during a free period and lets him go ham on analysis, all while Aizawa is secretly there erasing Izuku's 'quirk.' Nedzu invites Izuku to be his personal student (making Aizawa go grey), he says yes, and then Nedzu drops the absolute BOMBSHELL that Izuku is actually quirkless. Cue an existential crisis.
(Also Izuku gets captured at the training camp alongside Katsuki because of his "analysis quirk," wonder how well that goes for him~)
- Goblin anon (sorry this one was kinda long)
GOBLIN?? DUDE???? HOLY SHIT I KNEW YOUR AUS ARE ALWAYS PHENOMENAL BUT THIS RIGHT HERE??? D U D E
i misunderstood the prompt a bit but i genuinely don’t know how to backtrack, so here you go goblin. sorry again o(TヘTo)
ok first of, inko taking on a stronger stance to support her son? love that of her. like, she doesn’t say sorry when izuku turned to look at her and cried that he can’t be like all might. instead, she took him in her arms and assures him that he will be a great hero. at first, of course half of it is lip service because she doesn’t know how to help her quirkless boy be a hero, since, you know, heroes need quirks.. (or do they)
and then she comes across a quirkless self help group which rang many many warning bells in her head. what kind of life do quirkless people live when a google research of them resulted in subsequent pages of results like how to stay safe when quirkless, or how to find jobs when quirkless, or quirkless mortality rates?
she fears for izuku, until she notices that her son’s smart. too smart for his age, but inko thought she’s just being biased. but izuku’s wit is something many people notice, for an instance, when izuku goes to the park to play and his friends’ (the few ones who stayed) parents tell her that her son’s smart for a quirkless person, she realizes that izuku’s wit is far more vast than normal.
then a thought worms into her head but wouldn’t it be bad to lie…but also, no one would be any the wiser.
further pushed by all the statistics she keeps seeing, or the lack thereof, about quirkless people, she makes the decision and pours it to izuku.
izuku who’s far smarter than his age and understood what his mom is asking from him. izuku who already saw the disparities between quirked and quirkless people at the tender age of five. izuku who knows what it means to lie about something as personal as a quirk, but realizes that it’s necessary for him to do so if he wants to live a “normal” life.
so he agrees; he tells inko that he’ll work even harder to sharpen his mind, and to keep expanding his knowledge.
when izuku’s quirk file is officially updated, he watches how his peers and teachers revert back into treating him as izuku. he regains his old friends, but he chose to drop them because he doesn’t want to surround himself with people who thought he was less for being quirkless.
katsuki stayed, surprisingly. katsuki stayed and everyday he kept bothering izuku to “get your quirk already!” katsuki stayed because he can’t fathom that the smartest boy in their class (of course not as smart as him, psshh) is quirkless. deku couldn’t be quirkless. (but if he found out that izuku, indeed, is, i wonder what would happen…)
katsuki was one of the loudest to celebrate when izuku announced that his quirk arrived.
“finally!” he screams and bothers izuku about the semantics of his quirk. he really wasn’t surprised to find out that izuku has an analysis quirk because he thought that nothing else would better be suited for izuku.
he doesn’t know that izuku pours so much of his time into learning and studying, often bypassing basics and intros to take more of the developed courses that are usually recommended for older ages. he doesn’t know that izuku is just a naturally smart kid with the ability to fill the gaps of his young mind with knowledge upon knowledge, storing and stacking them until he feels that he’s laid a sturdy foundation for his fake quirk.
then izuku began threading into different areas. he learns how to get into cyberspaces; hacking into accounts and delving more into how to access private information. he doesn’t thread too close lest he gets caught, but he learns the logistics of maneuvering around the web and burrowing in empty spaces to branch out his own. he creates and designs web algorithms for himself, just so he doesn’t trigger anyone who is looking into the web movements. he hones this and uses it to access more information.
then when he deems it enough, he turns his attention to something more tangible and something more physical. he learns other ways to be a hero; how to fight without a physical quirk, how to win against bigger opponents, how to use analysis quirk in fights.
izuku becomes more than a fake analysis quirk user; he creates it.
mental quirks are hard to describe, more so to compress, thus he creates new definitions of an analysis quirk. what used to be a silly lie is now a tangible fact that izuku believes in. because what makes a quirk? because what makes analysis a quirk? he learns these semantics (often political) and uses it to his advantage.
then he finally threads to hero analysis. at first it were classmates he analyzed; eyes running quickly at their forms and watching with great interest before calculating everything he’s seen and transversing it with the things he learned, and bridges these two facts together to create an analysis. it was a struggle at first: he didn’t know which to put emphasis on until he realizes, he doesn’t need to. he weaves them together and lets his analysis run long and watches how his hobby comes into fruition.
following his classmates are current heroes. these were more tough and more fun, and any of the information is less shared. he doesn’t tell his classmates or teachers about his analyses, only katsuki. and katsuki’s breath hitch every damn time at izuku’s talent quirk.
it is in their second year of middle school that midoriya begins to incorporate the facts with himself to create physical performances. the issues and things he learned through observing are now practiced by himself. he calculates the best way to fight with a body as petite as his, often taking examples from pro-hero hawks and other women heroes. their agilities and physicality suit izuku’s young body; he doesn’t see the merit in punching his way through things when he physically cannot.
so he learns ways to ease his muscles. he learns ballet and gymnastics; lets his muscles contort and mend themselves anew. he finds his balance and roots himself firmly, and learns to calculate his actions so he doesn’t waste his energy. katsuki doesn’t say anything, but he sees izuku’s dance and falls in love.
then in the spring of their third year of middle school, izuku learns how to build and handle weapons.
this is the easiest. izuku learns that weapons aren’t tools, but extensions of his arms and hands. they are not to be revered and not to be depended on because they can fail. instead, he learns to wield weapons as though they are parts of his bodies. he learns how to use swords and often narrowing to wooden sticks that can be picked up anywhere; he learns how to fire guns and how to hide daggers in his uniform. he learns that his body is the best weapon to use and that tools are just arsenal to help him win.
then he learns how to build them.
by summer, izuku begins reaching into UA’s servers. they are hard codes to crack, but not impossible. it takes him five days to access old entrance exam videos. the next day, the videos are snuffed and he is left to try digging deeper into UA.
he fails.
nezu must have caught onto his codes and proceeded to build walls against it.
so he slithers out. but a five minute video of last year’s entrance exam is enough for izuku because he learns two things: one, heroes must defeat villains and two, heroes must save others.
izuku prepares for this. unknowingly, katsuki is taught these same principles. katsuki would grumble and tell him that he knows what heroes must do, but izuku continues to hammer it down to him.
by the time of the UA entrance exam, izuku falls into the ease of having a fake quirk. he passes the written exam with flying colours and although it took three teachers to approve his support gears (present mic had to pull in powerloader, midnight, and hound dog to ensure that the well designed support gears are made by the hero student examinee and not by a support student examinee. majima saw the works and begged nezu to allow izuku to be his student.), izuku still succeeds and dominates the entrance exam.
when the zero pointer was released, he had flung himself towards the girl crushed by debris and yanks her out. he doesn’t waste a modified grenade to explode the zero pointer because through his calculations, doing so would not only create more collateral damage, but would also endanger the examinee in his arms because she still would be caught in the crossfire.
nezu hums in appreciation from the screening room, after all, smart minds always do think alike.
izuku gets a whopping 92 in the physical aspects of the entrance exam.
katsuki gets 85.
aizawa gleefully takes them in.
izuku thinks that no one will ever know of his and inko’s secret, but one look at nezu’s beady eyes and he knew that the stoat knew. it became a game to them, then. a game to see who else would realize.
and while izuku is smart, he doesn’t realize that nezu has basically taken him as his personal student the moment he and izuku had created a bet.
it takes two months for aizawa to figure things out. surprisingly, he is the only one to do so and he only realizes due to the many untimely attacks of LoV.
——
how angst would it be if katsuki realizes that izuku’s always been quirkless during their captivity in the LoV’s hideout.

How easy is it to make the BNHA boys blush? Are they stone cold on the outside but internally screaming or are they as red as a tomato and a babbling mess? Also I hope you don’t mind making it so Reader is like the Dom in the relationship
How you make them blush headcanons
Hawks, Hitoshi Shinso, Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugou, Mirio Togata, Shota Aizawa, Tamaki Amajiki x GenderNeutral!Reader
Author’s Note: I tried to make the reader come off as a dom in these, so I hope it shows. I also imagine reader being tall since I’m like 5′11″ and there’s hardly any tall reader stuff, so some of the stuff in these could be preserved from a tall person POV      This is also the first time I’ve written for Shinso and Tamaki so I hope I represented them well!
Warnings: Some slight spice but not really, slight Dom!reader
Masterlist | Request Rules

Hawks
People like to imagine Hawks as a very suave guy, but that’s not the case
Of course, he has a public appearance to keep up
But oh boy, when he meets someone he actually likes he gets tongue tied
So when you two started dating it was fairly easy to get him to blush, but not so much it’d make his face red
Simple domestic acts were enough to dust his cheeks, or even some compliments
He never received genuine attention like that so he was unsure of how to react
He started to get used to it though, he may not blush anymore, but he still likes it
Now, a new thing you discovered a couple months into the relationship is that he has bird-like behaviors
And sometimes you like to take advantage of it
He likes to groom you by brushing your hair or trimming your nails, he’s actually very good at mani-pedis
So you’ll return the favor by brushing his hair or trimming his nails and it causes him to be a blushy mess because his heart is pounding and he can’t believe you want to groom him
You’ll even take it a step farther by cleaning or fixing his feathers
It’s a big deal in the bird world when two birds groom each other, it means they’re very close
Another thing is that he likes to feed you parts of his food from his plate
Even if you’re both eating the same thing, he still likes to hold food up to your mouth for you to eat
And once again, you’ll do it right back at him
In the bird world, it would mean that you accepted him as your mate
It makes him blush as he bites the food off and enjoys the flavor
Even when you eat the same thing, he swears it tastes better when you feed it to him
All in all, he gets real blushy when you indulge in his birdy antics
Tumblr media
(Art belongs to me, please do not repost)
Hitoshi Shinso
Hitoshi doesn’t really blush
Whenever you say a compliment to him he just rubs the back of his neck, looks down, and has a grin on his face
He loves it when you comment on things he feels other people don’t like about him
His unkempt hair, his baggy eyes, his terrible sleeping habit
He’s never cared what other people think, but hearing you speak so positively about those things makes his heart soar
“Oh my god, your bed head is the cutest thing on this planet!”
“Awh, did I wake you? You look so adorable rubbing your eyes!”
“You have the sexiest voice ever, I swear, can you just never stop talking to me, please?”
He loves when you talk about his voice
It’s what really enables his quirk, so the fact that you’re not intimidated by him talking and love hearing him talk is refreshing to him
But on the inside, when you compliment him
He’s screaming and doing back flips
They like my voice?!
They want me to keep talking to them?!
WHAT DO I DO?!?!?!
But on the outside he acts like his regular cool self
He also really loves when you display affection to him around others
You’re not afraid of being associated with him or what other people think and he just absolutely loves it
Sometimes kids in the hallways will give him nasty looks and he’ll give one back
But you just pull him close to your side and hold his arm while giving the kid an intimidating look
Since you’re in separate classes you walk with him to his first
Before you leave you always put a little kiss on his cheek as you guys stand near the doorway for his classmates to see
He smirks when he catches a few staring, but once again, he is absolutely going crazy inside his head
Tumblr media
(Art belongs to me, please do not repost)
Izuku Midoriya
THIS BOY
THE ABSOLUTE BLUSHIEST
Any compliment or flirt you say to him will have him blushing
Sometimes you’ll comment on his strength
Or how cute he is when he mumbles
Or how adorable his face looks when he’s concentrated
He face goes red every time and it makes him cover his head with his arms
And you compliment how cute he looks when he’s blushing, every time
What he loves the most though is when you show him off
“Everybody stop what you’re doing and look how adorable Izu is!”
“Look at his cute chubby cheeks and pretty freckles! *squeals*”
Some of your friends find it funny, but the others just cringe or roll their eyes (actually just Bakugou)
He loves it when you talk about his strength and have him show it off as well
You ask him to pick you up and he’ll have you sit on his arm while he flexes
This man carried around a hulked up Allmight for training, picking you up is a piece of cake
“Look how strong my baby boy is!” You gush
His face is so red, but he’s lowkey enjoying the attention
A thing you like to do is have him sit in your lap while you wrap your arms around him to trap him against you
You’ll do this when you guys are in the lounge and it makes him blush
You like to pepper his cheek in kisses while he sits on you and it makes him giggle
When you’re in private, you’ll have him straddle you on the bed
And of course the blush never leaves his face as you feel his body
You leave kisses on his forehead, his cheeks, his neck, even his collarbone if the collar of his shirt is deep enough (he’s bought a couple of v-necks for this occasion)
He loves it when you bring his hands up and kiss along his scars
You’re so slow and sensual about it, it makes his heart race and body heat up
And he wouldn’t trade that feeling for the world
Tumblr media
(Art belongs to me, please do not repost)
Katsuki Bakugou
He won’t admit it, but he blushes
You would make him blush even before you two started dating
You were his biggest hype man- and still are
But whenever he would start roasting or chewing people out, you would be there in the background
“Yeah! Kick their ass, Bakugou!” You’d shout
He thought it was weird at first and brushed it off, but when he realized he started to like you it caused a small blush to pop up whenever you would cheer him on
And when you realized you started to like him you upped your game
Anytime you’d walk into a room with him in it you would say
“Where’s that handsome devil Bakugou?”
His face would be so red, but he looked so angry that everyone thought it was just from rage as he chewed you out for making a comment like that
Anytime you knew he was around and listening you would bring him up
“Damn, I have no idea how to make this. Maybe our resident hot chef Bakugou can make it?”
“Leave me alone or I’ll call the handsome devil Bakugou himself!”
“You really think you can beat pretty boy Bakugou?”
He won’t admit it, but he loves it when you call him your pretty boy
Especially after you two start dating
You’ll be sitting in the living area of the dorms with some friends playing some games
Bakugou wins and you congratulate him with a kiss on the cheek with
“That’s my pretty boy!”
He still blushes slightly but doesn’t get angry about it because after all, you’re dating, of course, you’re gonna compliment him
In private you’ll call him sexy if you want to tease him
But sometimes there are days where you just want to be affectionate and have him vulnerable beneath you
You’ll kiss him all over his face as his blush grows
You then compliment him when his face finally softens and shows a small smile
“You really are my pretty boy, Suki,”
Tumblr media
(Art belongs to me, please do not repost)
Mirio Togata
Mirio is a boy who does blush, but not over the top and very rarely
You have to meet a special set of requirements if you want his blush to appear
And the way to do that is to compliment his body
Mirio is used to people talking about his body
I mean, with a quirk like his, he was constantly showing it off to everybody
He expected comments about it when it was shown
But when you two started dating you threw him for a loop
He was just casually talking to Nejire and Tamaki when you snuck up behind him and grabbed his pecs, giving them a squish
“Look at these big ol’ bara tiddies,” you said playfully as you groped him
Mirio was so stunned from the act that a blush appeared
He never expected it and Nejire laughed about the look on his face while Tamaki looked embarrassed for him
He eventually snapped back and let out a sheepish laugh, but he also sounded giddy because he lowkey liked you feeling him up
Another day he was doing some regular workouts with his friends
Once again he was talking to Nejire and Tamaki when you snuck up behind him
Instead this time you crawled under his legs and stuck your head between his thighs as you made him squish your cheeks
“This boy has thighs for days!” You said as you rubbed your hands up and down his thighs
Again, he was stunned and blushy
Nejire laughed and Tamaki hid his face
This other time happened when he was alone
You see, you had made such a habit of ogling him in front of others that he thought he was safe alone
Nope
He was in the dorm’s kitchen preparing a meal for himself when he saw you walking in
He greeted you with a big smile and offered to make you something
You came up behind him and smacked his ass and continued to squish it in your hand as you pressed your body against his, trapping him against the counter
“Maybe you could let me have a piece of that ass?”
Mirio.exe has stopped working
You laughed as you stood back and removed yourself from him to calm him down
His face was so red, he had no idea what to do
Tumblr media
(Art belongs to me, please do not repost)
Shouta Aizawa
Aizawa THINKS he blushes, but doesn’t actually
He’ll pull his capture weapon up to cover his face more when you flirt with him
What makes him act this way is when you compliment his features or give some kind of sexy nickname to him
Aizawa thinks he’s an average looking man
He’s not insecure, he just honestly thinks that of himself
So sometimes you’ll come up to him and rub your face against his to feel his stubble scratch against your cheek
“Damn, I love your stubble, it’s so sexy!”
Cue him averting his eyes and covering his face with his scarf
Another thing you like to do is when you’re alone and lounging together on the couch
You’ll admire his features for a while before you give kisses all over his face
He’ll ask what that was for
“You’re just so handsome, Sho,” you say with a sweet smile
He’ll look away with a surprised grunt and cover his face with his hand
You like to tease him when he does that and tell him how cute he looks, which only makes it worse for him
Sometimes, out of the blue, you like to give him sexy nicknames
“How’s it going, stud?”
“Hey there, hot stuff!”
“Whatcha’ up to, sexy?”
You’ll even say stuff like that in front of his friends and co-workers, but you’re not seductive about it, just casual, so he doesn’t really get mad at you for it
But it does make him pull the scarf up
One of his favorite things you call him though is “hubby”
You’re not married yet, nor engaged, but it really makes his heart pound against his chest when you call him that, especially in front of strangers
“I guess I’ll have that. What do you want, hubby?”
“Awh, isn’t my hubby the best?”
He doesn’t mind that you refer to him as your “hubby”
He was planning on asking you soon anyway
Tumblr media
(Art belongs to me, please do not repost)
Tamaki Amajiki
This boy blushes all the time when he’s around you
Even before you dated, of course
Just a simple “hello” and “how are you?” would make him blush and hide his face in the nearest wall
It took him a while to warm up to you, especially since he got a crush the first moment he saw you
You always tried your best to have him comfortable around you, you understood how anxiety could be
Eventually, he started hiding against your back whenever he got anxious
That was when you knew it was time to pop the question
“Tama, do you wanna go on a date with me?”
His face was completely red but he managed to stutter out an answer while furiously nodding
So when you guys started dating his blush reappeared whenever you’re around
But it wasn’t the type of “oh god I just wanna hide” blush
It was the “everything they do is amazing” blush
You’ll sometimes come up and give him a surprise kiss on the cheek
Or sometimes you’ll pick him up in a hug and spin him around
His face is flushed as he buries it in the crook of your neck with his arms wrapped around your shoulders
Other times, you’ll just hold his face in your hand and he leans into it with the sweetest smile
He loves it when you praise him
It makes him feel so much better after he does something he considers difficult, like ordering food or making an important phone call (me too, Tama)
His nerves are all jittery after it’s over and you’re there to soothe them by holding his hand or giving a small peck to his cheek
“That was so good, Tama! I’m proud!”
“You said all that without stuttering! Great job!”
“Wait, you did that all by yourself? My baby boy is growing up so fast!”
He really likes it when you call him your baby boy, it warms his face and his heart
Overall, he’s so happy to have someone so supportive

General Dating Headcanons | Sero, Todoroki & Bakugou
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾。・:*:・゚★。*✧・゚:˚۰˚☽˚。・:
Tumblr media
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾。・:*:・゚★。*✧・゚:˚۰˚☽˚。・:
Pairings: Sero x Reader, Todoroki x Reader, Bakugou x Reader
Reader: Gender Neutral!
Format: Headcanons​
Warnings: Cursing bc Bakugou 🙄 (as if I wasn’t the one who picked him lmao)
Request: :))) hellooooo :D hmmmm may i get general dating headcanons for sero, todoroki, and [insert your favorite character]? 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 @smexy-goose
‧͙⁺˚*・༓☾。・:*:・゚★。*✧・゚:˚۰˚☽˚。・:
Hi again!! Omg yes, I’ll gladly write some hcs for the best bois! I had a hard time picking a fave, but since I have written for Kami and Kiri in the last request I decided to go with blasty boy❤️ (Also, I’m trying a new way to post requests, I hope it works!)
Tumblr media
Sero Hanta
I feel like Sero is genuinely so fun to date, just like he said in that one dorm episode, he’s always the wild card.
He’s a goofball, so he adores making you laugh and smile as much as he can. I love him omg😭
Will definitely take advantage of his height (he’s among the taller ones in the class) and give you surprise hugs from behind and rest his head on yours.
He’ll also use his quirk on you for everything from pranks to just randomly pulling you to him to give you a quick peck or a hug :’)
He’s pretty standard with PDA, so he won’t go around making out with you in public but he will do little gestures like those <3
In private I feel like he’s definitely cuddly, he’s just so happy to be with you!
He loves having you over at his room to just chill or be in each other’s presence, even if you’re doing stuff individually.
Speaking of, the bakusquad definitely complains about you having privilege in using the hammock in Hanta’s room. 
Denki will whine like; “why does y/n always get to use the hammock? You said it was out of bounds!”
“That’s on pretty privilege, sorry! And you’re just jealous you don’t have a cool s/o like mine,” Sero will say and poke his tongue out from the hammock where you’re swinging togehter :’) 
I’m warning you now, if you had a healthy sleep schedule before going out with him, you can kiss it goodbye.
Sero will absolutely be up till like 3 am sending you memes and tiktoks that remind him of you.
And with him blowing up your phone you’ll most likely end up talking into ungodly hours of the night, the *sleep deprivation* only causing funnier conversations.
Those will end up becoming inside jokes that he’ll bring up to make you laugh while the rest of the class is like ???
That also results in some weird ass nicknames sorry not sorry
So he’ll sometimes call you regular stuff like babe and other times... he’ll call you things like “Bert” (FOR NO REASON??) or “Candied Blood Pumping Organ” instead of sweetheart lmao
Overall you two are just THE chaotic couple (and if you’re not generally that way he will bring out that side of you)
Pranking your classmates? Pranking each other? Random ass adventures? Trying weird food together? Dancing in the kitchen at midnight while sharing late night snacks? By going out with him you said yes to all of the above.
From sneaking out of the dorms for late night food runs to occasionally skipping class to go to the arcade or the beach, you usually can’t go a week without doing something fun togehter.
This one time you two were out with the Bakusquad and y’all stopped by a supermarket to get food. 
So you had to ask Bakugou to buy you something bc you and Sero had to stay outside and just hand him the money.
He was like “tf?? why? Just buy your shit yourselves!” You had to explain you two were banned from the store because Hanta had accidentally crashed a cart he was driving you around in into a display of cereal boxes.
Ah yes, good times.
Tumblr media
Todoroki Shoto
I feel like he’ll definitely need a small push when it comes to relationships bc of his past, but once you’re with him he’ll care deeply about you and will try to make you as happy as you make him :’)
I’m begging you, please give this boy some luv and affection!! For the most part you’d probably initiate PDA because he’s too nervous to do it himself
At the beginning he wouldn’t even be comfy cuddling, solely because he’d be afraid of hurting you somehow :(
But once you’ve reassured him he complies, and from then on out you just have to open your arms and he’ll instantly know it’s *cuddle time*
It’a one of his favorite pastimes bc he just feels so safe and loved <3 he also just loves the feeling of you playing with his hair
Luckily you get to do it year round since you cuddle his hot side in the winter and cold side during the summer
I feel like he’s secretly insecure, so the fact that you trust him and love him for who he is makes him feel like he could melt <3
Because of that you’re the only one he truly opens up to and shows his real feelings to, not to mention the only one who can touch his scar
And though he isn’t great with words, one look at him during one of these personal moments when its just you two, and you can just see it in his eyes.
Especially if you kiss his scar, his eyes might even get teary this sweet boy I 😭
That’s also probably why he shares his precious cold soba with you
Since you’ve been together, Shoto has just been so much happier, so his siblings and mother LOVE you.
They’re constantly inviting you over for dinner when Endevour is working (bc he’s a huge buzzkill to say the least), and his mom adores when you come with Shoto to visit her :)
Todoroki really enjoys seeing you get along with the people he cares the most about...
 BUT what he hates is THE EMBARRASING STORIES HIS FAMILY TELLS YOU OMG (you live for them, but I wouldn’t tell him that if I were you)
“Fuyumi remember when Shoto-” “Natsuo, no💙“ your bf will say as he unconsciously squeezes your hand, both of the siblings laughing at Shoto’s glare.
You had to hold in your laughter so hard omg
Though he isn’t that talkative, you guys definitely have that kind of relationship where you two could be silent and still feel completely comfortable (oh I’m so jealous of that but nvm)
He’s definitely observant, so expect the most considerate gifts and the most assertive observations, he’ll always know what you need.
The type of observant that gives you a water bottle before you even notice you’re thristy during training, or switches sides while walking so you loop your arm with his on his warm side when you’re cold.
Also the type to gift you that one thing you really wanted but mentioned once like months ago along with your favorite snacks/drink (you best believe he has them all memorized bc he’s just that attentive)
Over all, just a really soothing relationship were you can be comfortable with each other and feel at home when you’re together.
Tumblr media
Bakugou Katsuki
Ok so, I feel like you’d be a competitive couple, turning anything into a competition in an endearingly annoying way.
You’re definitely the type of couple to go to laser tag, an escape room, an arcade, etc, as dates >:) but the competitions don’t end there:
Who can plan the best date? Who can make the other blush first? Who can get the other the better gift? Who’s the better kisser? Who gets the higher score in class? Or wins at sparring?
Especially when it comes to productive stuff like training or academics, although he won’t admit it, he’s just pushing you to be your best because he knows how amazing you are :’)
All the bakusquad knows about your shenanigans and at this point they’ve learnt to stay out of it & go get the Advil just in case bless their souls lmao
I’m sorry but he definitely calls you nicknames that purposely piss you off (with no ill intentions ofc), like “gremlin”, “dumbass” or “booger”
I suggest you also call him stuff like that back, like “angry pom” or “blasty” to get on his nerves >:)
You guys also definitely friendly bicker all the time, knowing that you take it lightly (though strangers won’t, resulting in some hilariously awkward situations)
“You’re such a fucking idiot,” he’ll say rolling his eyes as he messes up your hair.
Just watch his smirk dissapears when you reply, “no, u❤️″ It gets on his nerves, I just know it.
So he’ll chase you around as you call each other random stuff. While the other people at the convenience store are just like  👁👄👁
He never means it tho, keep in mind if you’re dating the self proclaimed future no. 1 hero he thinks highly of you :)
So he’d definitely be protective while simultaneously showing you off <3
Will always greet you with a kiss and keep his hand on your back or waist so ppl know you’re with him
RIP anyone who tries to hurt or flirt with you, I say try bc Bakugou will be exploding them even before they get the chance😅
Denki’s definitely almost gotten his brows blown off his face bc of that lol
Speaking of, the bakusquad still can’t get over the fact that THE lord explosion murder has a soft spot for you,
You mean you take care of his injuries, scold him when he burns himself out, touch his hair, and hug him when his moody... and you DON’T get cussed out and blown up? Shooketh
However they don’t see what happens behind closed doors, & how you’ve helped him with all the trauma he has experienced
You’re the only one who he is vulnerable with, you’ve seen him cry and he tells you about his nightmares and fears
You do the same with him, and you promise each other to get through anything together, which you’ve done so far :’)
Bc of that his parents love you, and his mom’s always going on about how she’s so glad you “stand” his son😂
Why can’t he be real ughhh

Can I get a cup of uhhhhhhhh dating headcanons? For Todo, Baku, and everyone's favourite sleepy dad?
One cup of headcanons, coming right up!
Warnings: Just fluff
Todoroki Shoto
-Actually getting to the dating stage is kind of a wholeass mission. I wholeheartedly believe that Todoroki is the dumbest smart person ever; he’s clever and strong, but he also strikes me as the kind of guy who thinks 1KG of steel is heavier than 1KG of feathers.
-Lol everyone knows you’ve got a crush on him. Everyone except for him. He just doesn’t think that much about dating or romance or anything like that, unless prompted. His whole life, he’s been forced to focus on hero work, so it’ll take some time for him to get out of that mentality.
-He doesn’t clue in to his feelings for you, not for a while at least. He’d start off pretty indifferent towards you like he was with everyone else, but over time he’d begin to notice that he likes having you around. He feels more relaxed around you, and more inclined to converse and be present and friendly. 
-I think he’d chalk it up to ‘is this what friendship feels like’ meanwhile he’s out here training extra hard in hopes that you’ll see and be impressed.
-Someone will probably have to say something to get him thinking about his feelings for you. Either that, or he accidentally admits to you that he has a crush on you, but he doesn’t know it’s a crush, and you’re just like ‘oh bby’. You’ll have to spell it out for him.
-He finds you after class one day and asks to take a walk around campus to talk, and you’re like ‘okay sounds cool’.
-It’s a little awkward and quiet at first, and eventually you’re like ‘are you okay, did you need to talk about something?’
-And when he turns towards you his cheeks are flushed and he looks uncharacteristically flustered. Then he goes on to tell you how whenever you’re around, his heart beats faster and he gets warm even though his quirk isn’t active, and how he always wants to impress you even though he doesn’t care what other people think.
-He probably admits some really dumb stuff too, like how he still has the pencil you lent him at the beginning of the year, or how he fell on his ass during training because he was too busy staring at you.
-Pls be kind to him when you tell him about feelings. I think it will surprise him for like 0.5 seconds, but then he’ll be like ‘oh that makes sense’ in his usual way.
-Even after all that, you’re gonna have to be the one to ask him on a date. He’ll definitely say yes to you, but would still struggle with asking for himself.
-Anyways, once you guys have gone on a few dates and decide to make it exclusive, it’s a pretty relaxed relationship. He trusts you, so he’s pretty up front about everything, and if he doesn’t know what he’s feeling he’ll let you help him work through it.
-He’s not always clueless though, and he gets a lot better at expressing himself the more time he spends with you and the rest of the class.
-He’s pretty into casual touches, which he figures out after you sit beside him on the couch in the common room and set your head on his shoulder. He’ll ask you in private if you could do things like that more often, and over time he’ll start reciprocating, and it’ll just be a relationship full of head pats and held hands and forehead kisses.
-Also pls cuddle him when it’s just the two of you. Hold him close and run your fingers through his hair. 8/10 times he’ll fall asleep.
-Will want to train with you, and during class exercises he’ll seek you out as a partner/opponent. He wants to learn how to work with you, in case the need ever arises. But he also just wants to spend time with you, and likes watching you be bad ass.
-If you’re upset with him, or not quite feeling so great, please tell him. Don’t give him the cold shoulder, or be like ‘you know what you did’, because he absolutely will not know what he did. Let him know if you have an issue with something he did, from small things like eating the last of your chocolates, to more serious things like accidentally doubting your skill or flirting with other people. Just. Verbalize how you’re feeling.
-This also goes for when he does something good. Tell him when he’s made you happy, or helped improve your mood, or validated your feelings, or smth. It’ll reassure him that he’s being not only a good friend, but a good boyfriend too.
-Also,okay so he has that thing where he looks cool and aloof at first, but is actually soft and big-hearted right? There’s a whole bunch of other things he doesn’t show at first, which you are the first person to experience.
-He’s hella shy about kissing you. He’s pretty chill about PDA like holding your hand and hugging you and stuff like that, but kisses? It’s just such an intimate thing to him.
-Once he figure out he really wants to kiss you, he’s relentless in trying. Probably tries at the most inopportune times though, like at lunchtime and in the middle of class. Don’t be too mad at him, it’s the only thing his brain cell can concentrate on.
-So much so that he takes a hit during training and falls flat on his back. And you’re like ‘oh shit??’ and rush over to him once he doesn’t get up right away. You kneel over him and ask him if he’s alright, gently touching his cheek to try and calm him.
-And he just stares up at you because you look like an angel. Deadass blurts out ‘I want to kiss you so badly’ without a second thought, and smiles his little smile when you get flustered.
-And that’s how your first kiss happens, in the middle of an arena with your whole class watching. Aizawa probably scolds you.
-All in all, I think he’d be a pretty good boyf. He’d need some patience at first, and a lot of verbal affirmation and open communication, but that’s a good thing to practice in any relationship. He loves you a lot and is devoted and caring and always willing to fight for you.
Bakugou Katsuki
-God, okay, definitely the shoutiest boyfriend. He’d probably be pissed af when he realizes he’s catching feelings for you. He’s definitely not verbal about his feelings, but he’s not stunted like Todoroki is. He knows what he’s feeling, he just doesn’t like it.
-He thinks you’re a distraction to him, and probably takes it out on you. After all, if you hate him then it’ll be easier to let go of you and he won’t have to deal with you being around him.
-Sike tho, either he makes you sad and instantly feels guilty about it (which he hates), or he makes you Big Mad and you serve him his ass on a silver platter. Both ways, he’s not able to make you dislike him, and he only ends up liking you more.
-He’ll calm down after a couple weeks though, and come to terms with the fact that this is his life now and that he’s gonna have to deal with the annoying heart palpitations he gets whenever you’re around.
-Though a bonus I guess is his palms also get sweaty when you’re nearby, which means more explosions. Which we all know is a good thing for boom boy.
-Over time, he begins to slip up, and you begin to notice. His gaze lingering on you during training and during class, his lack of insults towards you, just generally being less unpleasant when he knows you’re around. Some of your classmates have also picked up on it, but none of them have really put two and two together.
-You have, though, and you know he won’t be the one to make a move. So you corner him one evening outside the dorms and confront him about it. He vehemently denies it, but all it takes is for you to look at him and he huffily admits it.
-Nothing is really agreed upon right then and there, but as the days and weeks pass, you pretty much just end up dating. You spend more time together, studying or training or goofing off. Well...he doesn’t really goof off, but he sits nearby while you do. You even convince him to come to game night with the bakusquad and -after much poking and prodding- he even plays a couple rounds of mario kart. 
-He either wins or he accuses everyone of cheating. It’s funny to watch.
-He doesn’t really know how relationships work, so be patient with him also while he figures it out. If you’re mad at him, don’t try to act snide about it because it’ll just end up blowing up in your faces. He might grumble if you tell him outright, but overall he’ll try to fix it. He’s a ride or die boyfriend, and however temperamental he is, he hates making you sad.
-Also he’ll never say it out loud, but he loves cuddling you. He’s pretty strict about not showing his softer side in public, so most of your more affectionate gestures are behind closed doors. Sometimes he’ll just show up at your dorm room, slam the door shut, and flop down on your bed. This is his way of saying ‘i feel like shit, come pet my hair’. 
-Most of his needs are conveyed nonverbally, so you’ll have to learn how to speak Bakugou.
-The only time he’s ever told you what he wanted out loud is when you guys had your first kiss. He was noticeably tense throughout the day, so after class you pulled him aside and asked him what was up.
-You hadn’t expected him to turn tomato red and mutter that your lot of friends had been teasing him earlier about kissing, and his lack of experience. You asked him if he wanted you to go kick their asses, and he was like ‘no, i want you to kiss me’.
-Cue both of you being flustered. But it lead to a really sweet kiss, soft and surprisingly gentle and thoughtful. 
-He’s more open about kissing you publicly, if not for the fact that he’s low key addicted, then definitely because it sort of lays his claim on you without being too mushy. But those kisses will be shorter and cooler than the ones you share behind closed doors.
-When it’s just the two of you though? He’s got you held close while your lips meet, fingertips sliding across your jaw and arm held fast around your waist. Those are the kisses that lead to heated makeouts usually.
-All in all, also a good boyfriend. Abrasive and loud, but loyal and smart and willing to explode everyone if it would make you happy. He calms down over time once he gets used to the relationship, while still maintaining an air of pride. Will never hesitate to brag about you, and will affectionately shout compliments at you whenever he feels like it.
Aizawa Shouta sleepiest dad
-Anyone who knows him knows that he’s got a busy life. Between teaching and being a pro hero, he probably doesn’t have a lot of down time. So you have to be okay with him having so much work.
-He doesn’t mind if you miss him during the days, in fact he would be mildly off put if you didn’t miss him (at least a little), but you can’t be someone who would try and make him change his schedule permanently to give you more attention.
-A day or two off here and there? Sure, the occasional lazy day break is nice and also reasonable, but I don’t think it would work out if you were super clingy.
-It probably gets a little difficult when the dorm system is implemented at the school, since he’s there overnight most of the time now. I think that’s one area where he’d be willing to try and implement a better system, whether it be having you on campus with him during the nights, or allowing him to head back home.
-Because as busy as he is, he’s not a neglectful partner. Even if he’s dead tired when he comes home, he’ll always take the time to greet you and sit with you and ask you about your day and tell you about his. He’ll lay back on the couch with you across his chest, and listen to you tell him about all the dumb shit you’d witnessed throughout the day.
-He’s a little rigid about PDA, mostly because his friends tease him and he doesn’t want to risk any of his students seeing (lest the also tease him), but he’s fine with casual affection. Walking with your arm tucked around his, hugs, chaste kisses, that sort of thing. He’s an adult in a relationship, he’s not gonna deny you any of those things just because he’s shy (though he will never admit that).
-Despite his outward uncaring appearance, he’s actually really intense, and feels a lot. He’s an emotional person, he’s just really good at keeping it on the down low. So you’d have to be pretty good at reading him in order to get him to open up, but also not push him too hard. Let him know that you know he’s stressed about something, but give him the room to make the choice in coming to you.
-He’s a pretty low maintenance boyfriend. He doesn’t need all the bells and whistles and fancy dates. He’s fine making dinner together and then hanging out to watch a movie, or maybe occasionally going out for a drink or a walk. What he cares about most is spending time with you, and just getting to be around you.
-But he is still perpetually tired, so he’ll be most happy on his own couch. Dinner and movie nights often lead to cuddles, which often lead to soft kisses, and then more heated kisses, and then hands touching you everywhere.
-It’s very easy to get carried away when he kisses you. Unless you’re in public, even the smallest kiss could snowball into a good romp, granted you have the time. He’s intense and firm, but his lips are warm and pliant, and he kisses you the way he needs oxygen; desperately and absolutely.
-Arguably the best boyfriend, but maybe i’m biased because he’s my type lol. He doesn’t ask for a lot, but requires your respect on the few things he needs, and in return he’ll be there for you when he can. And when he’s there? His attention is solely on you, all his thoughts and energy. He’s quiet and patient and loving, and behind closed doors he’s pretty affectionate. If he’s dating you, then it isn’t just something casual; he’s already seen that you’re someone worth putting his time and energy into. By the time he asks you out, he’s probably already in love with you.

Tumblr media
katsuki swears he hates you.
to be honest, he’d rather hate you, than feel like… this about you.
he’s convinced you’re messing with him. your quirk must make it so, because there’s no other reason why he feels his body heat up, his heart beat quicker somewhere deep in his chest, every time he thinks of you. you’re definitely doing it on purpose.
it’s that damned shopping trip to blame.
the girls had dragged everyone out to have some bonding time, which is the shittiest excuse katsuki has ever heard for splurging and buying pretty dessert that clogs up arteries. he’d have skipped out on it, but raccoon eyes begged kirishima, who in turn begged katsuki.
that’s another thing that pisses him off; remembering exactly how the other boy had convinced him. really, he couldn’t give less of a shit about something like romance, but of course the extras are going out of their mind about how popular they are with their preferred gender, and of course they had to drag him into it.
no, he doesn’t care at all, but it hurts his ego pride to entertain the idea that he might not be #1 at something even as petty as that.
hell, he doesn’t even care about being #1, as long as he’s doing better than deku.
but he’s not blind. cheeks is obsessed with the green haired idiot, her heart probably having a taste of her own quirk and shooting off into the universe fluttering madly every time she looks at him.
it’s like the world is out to get him, because not only did he have to accompany all the losers to their stupid trip, but he also had to, under duress, with that goal in mind? really? grade schoolers, the whole lot of them.
what he hates most about the whole thing is you, though.
and you’re doing exactly the things he hates.
ever since you stumbled across deku during that trip, tapped him on the shoulder and smiled at him, it’s like you punched katsuki in the gut. he can’t forget the way you’d looked so meek, but still somehow comfortable around deku, and he’d be damned if he doesn’t hate that.
and for the life of him, he can’t recall ever seeing you during his days in middle school. you claimed that you’d been classmates with deku – and by extension, katsuki – for an entire year, and deku sure seems to recognise you. but katsuki doesn’t. deku lights up like a stupid bulb, but katsuki does not.
he hadn’t needed to know details about any of the dumb extras that had infested middle school, more so any of them who didn’t already seem to know that he is the best. that must’ve been why he didn’t know you. there weren’t too many people who didn’t believe in his worth, but the ones who didn’t… they weren’t special enough for him to remember. they could never prove him wrong, after all. they were nothing.
but you.
he hates you. he strongly dislikes you. he can’t stand you.
and you seem to love that shitty deku.
no, it’s not the same kind of emotion that uraraka holds for him.
you absolutely adore that girl too, and she treats you nicely enough despite the wary look in her eyes initially, when she thought she was being subtle while hovering around deku.
no, katsuki hasn’t been observing. especially not because he’s interested. he is literally just looking out for himself, because he doesn’t want to be blindsided just because he wasn’t careful of some scheming pest.
the pest in question being you.
you’re already wreaking havoc on his mind, full of nothing but thoughts of you, other than being #1. he would never give up on that, no matter how much you make his heart pound and palms sweat.
you’re kinda helpful for his quirk, actually, and that’s the only reason he hasn’t already blasted you off into nothingness. the accelerated heart rate does wonders for him. but he doesn’t want to credit you either for something he could achieve with his own hard work.
he can definitely credit you for being the most annoying idiot that he knows, though. your quirk is painful, because late at night when he’s alone, he’s hit by images of your face. you hang out so much with his classmates now, he can’t help it. he can’t even sleep peacefully, because when he does fall asleep, his often dreamless nights are swapped out for stupid sequences produced by his subconscious involving you, because of your silly little quirk that you think katsuki is unaware of.
it gets worse.
he finds out you’re quirkless.
he storms up to you when he’s had enough. not only do you go to a school quite near theirs, but you also always have time to meet up, and isn’t that super convenient for whatever grand scheme you’ve concocted in order to try and take down bakugou katsuki.
it’s a half-growled and half-whispered, threat-filled one-sided conversation between him and you when he asks you to stop whatever you’re trying to do. you, being the infuriating person that you are, just tilt your head and stare at him in confusion. in the name of all might, that should not make his heart skip a beat, because he doesn’t have any intention of using his quirk right now. he just wants you to stop using yours. that’s all he’s there for.
but then you just shrug slightly, that damned nervous smile plastered on your face that you’ve barely been showing anymore, now that you’re comfortable with the extras. you shake your head when he asks you, as nicely as he can, to stop whatever messed up thing you like doing to him.
“this your way of trying to win against me? you can’t,” he grits through his teeth, fingers itching to create little explosions. he’s not going to show his off when asking you to call yours off. he won’t—
you tell him you have no idea what he’s talking about, because you’re as quirkless as they come.
with all the strength that he can muster within himself to not have an outburst, he asks you to repeat yourself.
you do. “i’m quirkless.”
in the end, he can’t help himself, and sets off a series of minute explosions that have you hopping back, out of his arm’s reach. as if he’d harm you with them, he thinks while glaring at you.
katsuki would like to say that he got over it quickly, but it takes a while, truthfully. at first he can’t wrap his mind around the fact that you’re quirkless, because then every thought of you that’s haunted him the past few months is without explanation.
you being quirkless literally opens up so many other questions. if you’re quirkless, then who’s to blame for everything happening to him? is it someone else at fault? are you just stupid and oblivious and unaware of your own quirk? did it manifest late? did someone grant it to you? there are so many questions, and things are still the same, if not worse. he barely thinks of anything else.
at least he can write it off in the name of being better at defending himself from stray quirks affecting him.
he hates it, but he asks kirishima, very subtly, if he’s heard of anyone whose quirk has the effects katsuki hates suffering from. the stupid redhead simply looks him dead in the eye and says that it sounds like the case of a bad crush quirk, something out of cheap romance novels which might be quite dangerous in practice, before proceeding to ask katsuki why he’s curious about it. bless his stupid soul, sometimes, because he completely buys the lie katsuki feeds him.
he didn’t want to have to convince kirishima that he doesn’t have a crush. because he doesn’t want to even entertain the idea of having a crush on stupid little you.
especially when you barely even give him the time of day anymore.
well, you’ve never really been the closest to him, nor does he want that, thank you very much! but it seems like the only time you and him ever had a proper conversation was when he asked you about your quirk, and that too ended badly, with barely any words exchanged. but at least you used to smile at him. not that he liked it or anything, but it was better than you giving him the cold shoulder.
are the extras actually more interesting to you than katsuki is? he’s a little miffed if that’s the case. but whenever he talks, you hear him, sometimes even respond to him, so perhaps it’s not a matter of ignoring him.
it’s just one thing you do.
you avoid his eyes.
it’s subtle enough that no one else notices, and the first few times he sees you look away when your eyes meet his, his breath catches in his throat and he’s almost too shocked to breathe in.
he knows that he’s not done anything to warrant that reaction from you. perhaps you’re simply realising after a long time that he’s the one you should be paying attention to, rather than all the extras. and perhaps it’s easier for you to pay attention to him with your ears rather than your eyes. he can understand that. your eyes seem to have that effect on him too; it’s entirely possible that this way is easier for you to focus on him.
maybe he makes you nervous.
there are so many maybes, but that thought still makes a grin tug at his lips, seeing which kirishima almost gets nervous. yeah, he’s getting cocky.
but that’s fine. he doesn’t plan on approaching you yet.
after all, if you’re into him, you should be brave enough to tell him.
honestly, it’s completely the electric eel’s fault. really, it’s 100% his fault because he thinks it’s fun to talk about stupid shit around katsuki. stupid shit like you possibly having a crush on deku, even though all signs say otherwise.
katsuki was willing to overlook that, but then raccoon eyes decided to encourage that hypothesis, and soon the idiots around him were talking in hushed whispers about deku’s supposed fanclub. such a situation definitely warranted katsuki blowing up their asses during training.
katsuki hates training with deku with a burning passion, but such a situation also warranted going up to him and demanding that he train with katsuki. if only he’d had enough mind to notice that the class was ending. if only he’d not run his mouth—
“they’ll never even look at you.”
deku doesn’t know shit about what katsuki just said, looking at him like he grew another head – which pisses him off even more – but kirishima and the rest of them know—
they know that katsuki is still hung up over that stupid conversation from days back, and they also know something’s up, and katsuki hates himself for being an idiot.
they corner him, as impossible as that sounds. katsuki would’ve blasted them off into outer space but they literally pile up onto him, clinging and refusing to let go of him even when he threatens to beat their ass again. curse sero’s tape.
katsuki would like to say that he fends them all off and throws them off his case. unfortunately, that does not happen. they find out a few things that day. thankfully, the only things they do find out are: you really get on katsuki’s nerves, and you also have a silly little crush on him.
“for real? are you sure?” ashido asks, eyebrows knit together like it’s something particularly unbelievable, and kaminari nods along uncertainly.
katsuki scoffs. “no other reason why they can’t look me in the eye.”
“i mean, you are kinda scary…” sero starts, but one glare from the scary person in question has him trailing off.
kirishima politely provides, “he’s manly!” and the conversation ends there.
oh, but the scheming doesn’t end.
kaminari is a bloody idiot, and encouraged by the equally idiotic sero, both of them come up with various scenarios wherein you and katsuki could stumble into each other, completely coincidentally, as if katsuki can’t hear them gossiping right behind him.
he ends up having to intervene when they get increasingly creative, which only means disaster in katsuki’s book.
“i’ll just wait.” he simply shrugs, watching the idiots get confused.
“fun to watch them squirm when they think they’re being subtle,” he offers further, and kirishima gives him a disapproving look, mumbling something about sadists.
“bakugou,” ashido stares at him critically, opening and shutting her mouth many times before eventually asking, “do you like them?”
after several more explosions, katsuki’s heart beating too fast in his chest, the sweat beading at his temples written off as part of his quirk, he’s able to dispel the idea from her mind.
he’ll never like someone like you.
and he’s still wary of you in the secret corner of his mind, not sure why he reacts the way he does to you. he’s not stupid, he knows what a crush is and how it works, but he really can’t see himself being attracted to you at all.
it has to be something someone concocted to get him weak, but they’re not going to succeed.
even if not having your eyes on him pisses him off more, making him feel irrational and prone to dangerous stunts and outbursts. even if not seeing you around much makes him feel like there’s not much to show off to. even if he really doesn’t feel like there’s anything worth showing off when he spies poor little you hanging around his classmates, quirkless and gentle.
gross.
katsuki hates being wrong.
katsuki hates knowing he’s wrong.
katsuki barely ever is wrong.
but when he is, he messes up completely.
if he were to possess the ability to correct one thing, he’d just lock up the idiots who call themselves his friends, and not let them near you.
they notice your little mannerisms too, of course they do when katsuki himself told them that you like him. they notice that you don’t meet his eyes and prefer staying away from him, but still respond to him whenever he talks. they notice that you don’t seem to fear him like some people do; almost as if you’re comfortable with him.
and they also notice things he wishes they didn’t notice, like the way his skin reddens imperceptibly when he sees you, and the way he makes an effort to not blast things up too much in your vicinity.
(it’s not really much use anymore, unfortunately.)
it’s definitely kaminari who is to blame; he always is for everything. katsuki doesn’t need any more reason to want to absolutely pummel him, because with the tape idiot’s encouragement, he bounces up to you one day and asks the dreaded question.
“what do you think of bakugou?” the blond asks, grinning from ear to ear as if he’s done something wonderful, but the way your eyebrow creases in confusion makes katsuki’s heart skip a beat. erratic. he doesn’t know what to make of the expression on your face. and no, he’s not waiting for your response, dammit. he’s 100% busy ignoring everyone. he can’t let you know all of his attention is on him, especially when you’re about to turn your head to look in his direction.
“he’s okay,” the words eventually leave your mouth, and he almost snorts. just okay? are you stupid, or just pretending to be? he knows your vocabulary is bigger than that.
“don’t you…” kaminari leans in dramatically, and katsuki has to strain his ears to hear—
“don’t you like him?”
well, hell. guess someone missed the tact memo.
that’s fine, though, katsuki’s okay with that. maybe letting you shyly avoid him isn’t the best course of action when you refuse to make a move.
you let out a non-committal noise, prompting another round of questions. the way you further get confused and respond with questions of your own makes something nag at the back of katsuki’s mind.
there’s something steadily sinking, and said sinking feeling grows the longer you talk to the electric idiot. by this point, katsuki has realised he’s missing something, but he’s still confident that it’s nothing he can’t overlook at this crucial moment when you spill the beans.
“my dear, sweet y/n, don’t you like bakugou?!” kaminari finally exclaims, possibly frustrated, and katsuki internally wheezes. he’s preoccupied with what you’ll say next, so laughing at the idiot’s expense takes a back seat.
he has to hand it to you; you’re really hard to crack, and it’s almost annoying. katsuki’s tempted to just burst his way over to you and demand a clear confession.
the answer isn’t something he’s expecting.
“not that he’s not, y’know, nice and all,” you babble, clearly stalling. you exhale at the same time as katsuki inhaling, and he holds his breath, waiting for the shoe to drop. really, maybe kaminari isn’t so bad if he can actually weasel the truth out of you with his stupid self.
“it’s just… he’s kind of scary. i try not to get in his way.”
kaminari seems just as stumped as katsuki feels in that moment.
“but… the way you act around him…”
well said, pikachu.
“oh.” that single word feels a bit like a gunshot. “oh, oh, i see. oh, no.” you need to stop saying ‘oh’ so many times, as if that changes anything.
“i’m sure he’s a good guy, but nope, i’m not interested in him romantically. i only act so awkward around him because that’s exactly how he makes me feel. i don’t even know him that well.”
can you stop twisting the knife?
“bakugou noticed,” kaminari mumbles, loud enough that katsuki hears. the words sound like they’re laced with pity. katsuki hates it, but what he hates more is how the idiot’s voice lowers to a whisper to say something to you that he really can’t hear from the distance.
katsuki also hates how your lips part and understanding dawns on your face.
he hates how your eyes meet his, head-on, because he completely forgot to look busy and has been gawking at you for the past few minutes. he hates how your eyes widen before a wary expression crosses your face.
katsuki hates the way you make him feel.
“is that what he’s passing it off as?” you ask, loud enough that he can hear. you’re not making an effort to lower your voice either.
kaminari does not respond to you, and you let out a short laugh, no doubt incredulous.
katsuki feels something within himself snap.
he leaves the room.

listen, he’s not very good at the whole emotions/vulnerability thing yet, but he’s trying. when dating shō, expect some emotional outbursts from him, as he tends to keep it bubbling inside way too often. he needs an s/o that doesn’t mind lending him a shoulder to cry on, and responds to his problems with sympathy rather than pity.
they don’t always need to know what to say, but if they can show him that he is loved, he’ll absolutely melt.
empathy and understanding is a bigbig thing. it’s really important that his s/o has no ulterior motives and genuinely shows that they want him for who he truly is and not for anything else. not his status, his power, or anything like that. just him. shōto todoroki. because at the end of the day he isn’t his grades, his quirk, his past, etc. he is a person. and his s/o needs to show him that that is more than enough.
in no way is this man submissive, but somebody who can talk him out of some of his more impulsive decisions without being too overbearing would be ideal. somebody who can be practical and reason with him, but not to the point where it feels like they’re telling him what to do. he hates feeling tied down like that, yk?
misc...
somebody willing to listen, but not afraid to carry the conversation.
a good cook?
someone hardworking and determined! shows passion and drive in something. whether it be academics or a personal goal. shōto needs somebody equally/almost as driven as him because he connects with people by attempting to understand them.
SOMEONE SUPPORTIVE OF HIS DREAM TO BECOME A HERO AND WILL TELL HIM THAT THEY ARE PROUD OF HIM.
motherly vibes almost?
he just needs a hug man
shōto please marry me
BAKUGO KATSUKI
Tumblr media
bakugo needs somebody who is patient and willing to help him grow
i mean...it’s BAKUGO. he’s a hot head and you HAVE to be able to handle that. no crying when he screams at you for getting a math problem wrong HAHAHAH
also: he’s actually very emotionally intelligent so if he knew his attitude bothered you i think he’d at least attempt to be a little gentler
very important to note that having patience does not equal being a pushover. he would absolutely hate dating somebody who cannot assert themselves, and i believe he would not do well with somebody who’s super passive either. he’s extremely dominate, but letting him have his way (not in a sexual way 😐) with you would not be healthy.
not to say that it isn’t possible!!! this is just my opinion. passive bakugo simps rise i hate confrontation too but i would love to have an enemies to lovers relationship with this man.
he’ll need somebody who’s pretty good at picking up on emotions since he tends to lash out a lot too. if you’re able to look deeper into the reasons as to why he’s acting the way he is, he’ll silently love it. you have to be willing to reach out to him.
mutual respect is vital in every relationship but ESPECIALLY in one with mr.katsuki here. if you win his heart, he thinks you’re absolutely incredible, so he needs a s/o that feels the same!!!
he likes feeling capable and enjoys compliments so i actually think he’d benefit from somebody who outwardly displays their affection. validation from you would feel otherworldly to him so do it often!! even if he acts like a douchebag about it just do it. he has a superiorty complex let him be.
misc...
similar to todoroki, he needs somebody who is supportive of him and has their own aspirations in life.
somebody with a REALLY good sense of humor!!! make him laugh and he’ll be thinking about it for the rest of the day.
you have to get along with kirishima, but that won’t be hard to do so it’s fine.
MIDORIYA IZUKU
Tumblr media
midoriya needs somebody who will tell him to take care of himself (ITS KINNIE TIME GUYS IM SO SORRY.).
this angel is doing his absolute best.
everyone in 1A is a workaholic but midoriya takes this to another level. he’s so goal-orientated that he tends to overwork himself ALL THE TIME. this is why he needs somebody who will force him to relax. :(. he needs his s/o to remind him that his health matters too.
he’d adore it if his s/o cooked him meals, called him frequently, and made an effort to help him with his hero studies. literally any act of service would make his heart burst. he takes care of so many people it’s like...he needs somebody who will do the same for him too.
basically, he needs a mom friend but not to the extent that shōto would need one HAHA. just like,,, somebody who very obviously cares, yk?
expressive about how much they adore him
misc...
aaa somebody willing to do study dates with him would be an incredible thing for him to experience :]. he enjoys being productive so if his s/o can turn something that’ll contribute to his success as a hero into a date, he’d be like ☆_☆ . would fall harder for you than he already had before (if that’s even possible).
also, don’t sweat it if you’re bad at school, he’s more than willing to help you. he loves being of assistance!
loyalty is a big thing too!!!!
SOMEONE WHO LISTENS OH I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH.
im being so real if you want to win his heart you have be willing to listen to his rants about all might. having similar interests would be HUGE for him. he needs somebody who will let him rant for as long as he wants without making him feel like a nuisance (don’t we all).
reassurance. he overthinks a lot so somebody who will acknowledge his efforts to be a good boyfriend is mandatory.
someone who understands where his priorities lie.
while he would benefit from a s/o that reminds him not to overwork himself, he absolutely needs them to also realize that he will do whatever it takes to be a great hero.
there needs to be a mutual understanding between him and his partner about how his career is the most important thing in his life.
compromise is gonna be key in this area lol.

BAKUGOU’S MASTERLIST
Tumblr media
Ep. Warnings: cursing
Summary: Y/N is denying her feelings. ALL of them.
Pt.1 Pt.2 Pt.3 Pt.4 Pt.5 Pt.6 Pt.7 Pt.8 Pt.9
When you closed the door, you had to catch your breath. You leaned against it with your eyes closed as a slight smile grew on your face. A little blush dusting over your cheeks, causing rising heat to roam your skin. You opened your eyes and saw Rumor looking at you. He had his head tilted with judgmental eyes.
“What?” You asked. He only gave you a snort with eyes that said “don’t act like you don’t know.”
“I’m not falling for blondie. It’s just fun to flirt.” You said, trying to reassure both Rumor and yourself. Rumor let out wails like he was talking to you saying “mhmmm.”
“What? It’s true! We have a mission Rumor.” You said as you layed down under the covers.
Flashback
As Kurogiri busted through the door to the LOV’s hideout, he shouted.
“SHIGARAKI!” He yelled out of breath.
The villains looked around at the man. Why was he out of breath? Where had he been? Why wasn’t Y/N with him?
“What’s going on?” Dabi asked the steam of purple.
“I-it’s Y/N! Earser-Head took her!” Kurogiri said.
“WHAT?!” In came shigaraki, now yelling in shock. “How dare you lose that girl?! Do you understand how valuable AND dangerous she is? She is with the heroes now, they’ll tell her everything about us, and she’ll grow an opinion. She’ll kill all of us.” He seethed out as he held Kurogiri by his neck collar.
“I understand! But- but look!” Kurogiri said holding up your earring you threw at him. “She left behind this!” Once seeing the piece of jewelry, Skigaraki calmed down. He took the gem in his hands.
“Smart girl...this is a communication device. I gave these to Y/N if trouble were to ever happen so she could contact us without the call being tracked,” he explained. “Y/N! ..Titania!...Y/N? Can you hear me?!” He screamed into the earring.
“.........Loud and clear Shigaraki,” Y/N’s voice was heard from the gem and everyone looked alive. They all settled and began to ask her questions.
“Y/N, what the hell is going on?” Dabi asked.
“Eraser-Head took me. He brought me to UA and they’re keeping me in an interrogation room. He said he sees good in me and wants me to enroll here.” You explained.
“UA...” Shigaraki echoed.
“That’s right. And I have a plan. We’ll take em down from the inside.” You offered your idea.
“Explain.” Shigaraki said.
“You have me. I’ll gather intel. All the places where UA will be traveling to, all their plans, all their strengths and weaknesses. I can tell you it all and you guys can come up with a plan on how to attack. My suggestion would be that you should attack them when traveling. Do it subtly. I’ll tell you their future plans and you’ll come up with loopholes. I’ll report their strengths and weaknesses and when you’re ready, we do a full scale attack on the school. Bring as many villains as we can to help and win.” When you were done explaining, the villains shared a look. Except Shigaraki. He was 100% in on this plan.
“I expect a report every day. Tell us whatever happened, whatever you learned or found out. You tell us everything.” Shigaraki said.
“Understood.” You replied.
“Good.”
Present Time
You sighed at the memory. Rumor noticed your displeasure and came up beside you on the bed. He cuddled into you side to help you calm down. You pet his head as you turned to lean into his soft fur.
“...we can’t get distracted. No boys, no luxury, no hero life, no UA life. We’re villains...that’s all we’re good enough to be.” You said to remind yourself. As you shut your eyes and drifted off to dreamland, Rumor looked at you and sighed.
‘She deserves UA though. She deserves a happy life. She’s more than good enough.’ Rumor thought.
Bakugou’s POV
As Bakugou walked off to his room with a satisfied smile on his face, he thought back to what happened. It made him stop in his tracks in shock.
‘What the fuck is happening to me?’ Bakugou thought. Since when does he act all flirty? And when did he start blushing? And why does his heart speed up at the thought of Y/N? ‘Maybe I just need to sleep in off.’
As Bakugou walked into his room, he saw Kaminari and Kirishima mocking him.
“Mwuah, Mwuah, Mwuah, oh Y/N, I love you so much,” Kirishima said pretending to hold a girl in his arms and kissed the air.
“Oh, I love Princess so much! Mwuah!” Kaminari mimicked. Bakugou only growled at the two and blushed in embarrassment.
“What the hell are you two idiots doing here?” Bakugou asked.
“Well we came to hang but then we got hungry while waiting for you and searched for snacks but we saw you and Y/N going in for a kiss~” Kaminari said wiggling his brows.
“And then we saw Mr. Aizawa hit you with adoption papers and then kicked you guys out the kitchen. We also saw you run to Y/N and peck her cheek~” Kirishima added on. “You crushing on the new girl?”
“Am not.” Bakugou replied.
“Are too.” Kaminari said. “Makes sense. She’s crazy hot, super powerful, and full of personality. She’s pretty freaking awesome.”
“Yeah c’mon man, we’re friends and we won’t tell if you do like her.” Kirishima reassured.
“I don’t like her, shitty hair.” Bakugou stated. “I mean, yeah. She’s beautiful, and she’s funny, and she’s really strong. And she’s also really cool and really chill and my heart beats like crazy and my mind goes dumb when I’m around her. But that doesn’t mean I like her!”
The two boys just looked at the blonde with a brow raised.
“Seriously?” They both said.
“GAH!” Bakugou screamed as he flopped face forward on his bed coming to the realization. “Fine! Maybe I do like her BETTER THAN OTHER PEOPLE, but that doesn’t mean I LIKE like her. Besides, shes only been here for 2 days, how the hell am I supposed to fall for someone that quick?”
“Love at first sight is a real thing if you believe it is.” Kaminari said. Bakugou thought about it. Maybe it was. But there was no way. She didn’t know anything about him and yeah she opened up to Bakugou about her past but that doesn’t mean she’s in love with him.
“......look. I don’t know exactly how I feel about Y/N. All I know is, I get excited whenever she’s around or when I know I’ll get to see her. I can’t be sure of my feelings....yet.” Bakugou admitted.
“Well you should figure it out, man. She could be good for you. I mean, shes only been here for a few days but just in those two days she’s made you a more open person. You woulda never admitted all this to us before.” Kirishima said. At that realization that he said too much, Bakugou got up and pushed his friends out his room door before he could spill any more.
“Okay! Great! Gotta sleep! Goodnight! See you later idiots.” Bakugou said and slammed the door. He flopped back on his bed, going back to thinking about Y/N. And there goes his heart again with that fast beating.
——————————————————————————
Y/N woke up, got ready, and was about to walk out the door. Her and Rumor were getting ready for some training so Y/N put on some comfortable work out clothes. As the two were about to walk out the doors with their bags, they ran into the Bakusquad boys in the common room.
“Hey Y/N!” Kaminari greeted you.
“Oh hey guys!” You said walking towards the group. Bakugou had his eyes fixated on you. Do you always look this good in the mornings?
“Where you headed?” Sero asked.
“Rumor and I were gonna get some training in at our special spot in the forest. Didn’t really get to do much yesterday so I’m making up for it today.” You explained.
“Hey, training sounds pretty good,” Kirishima said and the guys all agreed. “Mind if we joined you?”
“Uhh..I don’t know guys. The place I train is kinda far and I usually have to ride on Rumor to get there.” You said.
“Ohh c’mon, please! We’re down for the ride and we’d love to see you in action.” Kaminari begged. Bakugou decided to influence your decision.
“C’mon princess,” he said while looking you right in your eyes. The group all smiled and raised a brow at Bakugou’s behaviour, but you two didn’t notice, for you were too lost in each other’s presence that you didn’t even realize what you said.
“Sure...” you said still dazed with Bakugou, but once you heard yourself you snapped out of it. “Wait- Wha-“ you were interrupted by the cheers of rowdy boys as they all left to get their stuff ready. Bakugou was the last to leave.
“Thanks for letting us join, princess.” He said pecking your cheek and walking off. Curse those damn ruby eyes! You smacked your face the tiniest bit to fight off the rising blush as Rumor just gave you a look of sass.
“Oh hush, now you gotta carry 5 people. Hope you’re happy.” You said sitting next to Rumor on the couch. About 10 minutes went by before all the boys came back and were set to go. You guys walked to the front entrance of the dormitory and paused.
“Okay. A few rules before we get there. The spot is a special place to me. It’s where I can explore myself and my abilities a lot more and it’s the place where I found Rumor. It’s a treasure and a memory to me so don’t you dare destroy it too much!” You said with a stern voice and serious look. The boys nodded their heads in understanding.
“Good. Rumor, flying bison form.” As rumor shifted into a giant creature, you went to the side of the building where you had his saddle waiting. You used your air bending to place it onto Rumor’s back as you attached a rope to his horns for steering. You told the boys to get on, but they seemed a little hesitant.
“What? You’ll be fine, just get on.” As the boys trusted your words, they climbed onto Rumor and settled in the saddle. On your mark, Rumor took off into the skies as the boys screamed in fear in the back.
“We’re gonna die!!!” Kaminari cried as he held onto Sero. The boys freaked out until you reassured them.
“You’re not gonna die you idiots! Jeez, it’s too early for all this.” You said as you continued to handle Rumor’s reigns. After about 10 minutes of flying, you trusted that Rumor knew where to go from there and went to the back of the saddle where the boys were.
“First time flying on a bison?” You jokingly asked.
“More like first time ever doing any of this.” Kirishima said. “Man, do you get to travel like this all the time?”
“Pretty much. Theres so many forms that Rumor has, so it’s always fun seeing the reactions I get whenever they see me riding a dragon or something.” You laughed out, causing Bakugou to blush at the beautiful sound.
“Man, I could get used to this.” Sero said as he let the breeze flow through his hair. You giggled before speaking.
“Yeah, well sorry to disappoint, but rides over. We’re here.” You said looking over the saddle and seeing the forest spot. The boys finally saw the beautiful trees, the crystal waters, the beautiful plants and giant plateaus of boulders and rocks creating something straight outta Lion King. You landed in a clearing and hopped off Rumor, encouraging the boys to do the same. Rumor transformed back into his usual form and walked towards you all.
“So! Y/N, what do you usually do when you get here?” Kirishima asked.
“I usually stand on the spiritual clearing over there,” you said and pointed to an opening where there was a circular stone platform in the ground engraved with some ancient characters.
“Spiritual clearing? It looks like pavement.” Kaminari said, earning a wack to the head from Bakugou and Sero. You just sighed and sat crossed on the area and called upon your mentor.
“Avatar Korra....” you called out, and then, it appeared as if a ghost came out of you and right infront of you stood your mentor. The boys shook in fear.
“A ghost?” Sero shakenly asked.
“No, my mentor. She’s a spirit...a good one.” You said as you stood and bowed to Korra.
“So what are we working on today, Y/N?” Korra asked you.
“Well, I want to perfect my water bending. Specifically, my healing. I used my dim mak on a friend in school and I couldn’t heal his arm from the paralysis so I want to work on fixing that.” You said. Korra nodded and took you to the watering hole.
“You boys can get on with your training,” you said to the guys as they appeared to be standing still.
“Actually, we just came to watch you and see what kinda stuff you can do,” Kaminari confessed. You laughed and shook your head as you used your hand to call the boys over so they could watch.
“Well then how about we get a volunteer?” Korra said as she looked to the 4 future pros. Bakugou stood up and joined you in the watering hole.
“You have no idea what you’ve just done,” you laughed out as Bakugou stood there confused. “Sorry about this,”
“What do you me-“ you cut him off by jabbing his pressure points and having him fall paralyzed into the shallow water. As he layed there with his upper side of his body out of the water he spoke.
“Coulda gave me a warning, ya know.” He said in a grouchy demeanor. You just looked towards your mentor for guidance.
“Let’s begin..” Korra said. As you trained the boys watched in excitement and awe. They’ve never seen anyone with a “quirk” like yours and never saw someone with your fighting style. Once you finished up with Bakugou, Korra walked you through the other elements. The boys saw your many skills and were thoroughly impressed. As the day went on, you finally settled for the amount of time spent.
“Thank you for the help today Korra,” you said and bowed to her in gratitude.
“It’s my job to help you, Y/N. Please don’t thank me. Besides, I enjoy working with you. I know you’ll always choose the best path to go on and I’m excited to see where you’ll end up.” Korra said with much meaning to her last few sentences. You understood what she meant. She disappeared into thin air as she returned to the spirit world. You sighed as you felt relief she was no longer there pressuring you into becoming the hero you can’t be. You turned to the boys.
“So...you guys ready to head back?”
——————————————————————————
On the ride home, the boys all hung around the back while you sat near Rumor’s horns in silence. Your mind wandering to your choices. Light or dark. You’ve always been in the dark though. It was the life you’ve always known. Granted, you didn’t like it, but you’ve already done so many horrible things, there was no way being good was even an option right now
‘Shigaraki..Korra..Kurogiri..Aizawa..Dabi.....Bakugou’ you thought of all the impactful people in your life..but Bakugou? You barely knew him, but you knew in your heart, he definitely meant something to you. To snap you outta your thoughts was the man himself. Bakugou had gone to join you up front.
“Hey” he said.
“..hey back.” You replied.
“Soo..Whats up with you?” He asked.
“Umm...not much. Just..seeing my mentor..makes me think about..a lot.” You explained to him as you looked at the sky.
“A lot like...” he pressed you for details.
“Like....sentimental stuff. What kind of person I wanna be, what I wanna do with my life..choosing paths.” You briefly explained. You couldnt let him know too much, no matter how bad your body yearned to tell him the truth.
“Well...I could predict most of that stuff for you.” Bakugou said, relaxing his shoulders.
“What do you mean?” You asked him.
“I see a lot of great things for you, princess. You’re an amazing person already, and when you grow up you’re gonna be an amazing hero too. Kicking evil’s ass and all that.” He explained. But you only felt sorry. He didn’t know you at all. At least, not the real you. This fact only saddened you.
“I wish..” you whispered. You only fell deeper into sadness, and noticing this, Bakugou did the unexpected. He grabbed you and held you in his arms.
“You’re amazing, Y/N. Never forget that.” He said calmly, like he was 100% sure. You released silent tears and let the wind dry them. Along the journey home, the scent of caramel invaded your senses. It soothed you and brought you to a land of happiness. You cuddled into Bakugou a little more as a blush grew on both of your faces. You both agreed on one thing though. This felt so right.
As you landed, the boys in the back headed inside after thanking you for the trip. Rumor changed back and you and Bakugou moved his saddle back to its place beside the building. As you and Bakugou continued to walk, he started up a conversation.
“You know, you’re pretty strong but I could still take you down easily, Princess.” He said with a cocky attitude.
“Oh? Is that fact? Cuz I’d bet You’d get your ass handed to you by moi,” you said.
“Really? How about a little competition?” He wagered.
“I’m listening,” you said.
“We have a little sparring match, if you win you get whatever you want, if I win..i don’t know, maybe..you’ll let me take you out on a date?” He asked hesitantly. This shocked you, but you smirked nonetheless.
“Is this you’re way of trying to ask me out?” You teased.
“Sort of..” he said nervously. This was his first time asking anybody out and his first crush too.
“Well then why don’t we skip the fight and I’ll let you take me out next Saturday? Deal?” You asked.
“That’s perfectly fine by me,” he said excitedly. Bakugou began to ramble on about something else but you got distracted. As you looked over his shoulder, you saw Principle Nezu holding on to some documents and trying to hide them. He seemed alert as he made his way to what appeared to be Mr. aizawa’s room.
“Umm, I’ll talk to you later Baku- Katsuki! I’ve gotta go.” You said as you walked off to find Nezu, leaving Bakugou in confusion as Rumor followed you into the dorms.
Running through the hallways was getting you nowhere. So you asked Rumor to track his scent. Finally catching up to Nezu, you saw him enter Aizawa’s room and you saw the door shut. You pressed your ear to it, trying to make out whatever conversation they were having, but you couldn’t hear anything. You did however hear them walking closer to the door, and so you and Rumor hid around the corner. You saw both Nezu and Aizawa walk out and so you took the opportunity to scope the scene. You walked into the room and saw the files on the desk. As you read through them, you saw it was trip to what seemed to be some sort of battle competition. As you read through the papers, you saw it was exactly that. Hero schools would travel to one designated area and start the race. Along the path you would run into other schools and battle. Winner earns their school 12 grand and the participating students get a week off.
To anyone else, this would seem like a good time, to you, this was an opportunity. You took photos of the papers and ran off with Rumor to your room. In the privacy of your dorm, you sent the photos to the league and contacted them through the earring.
“Hello? Shigaraki? Dabi?” You said into the earring.
“Right here, Titania.” It was Dabi’s voice. “Whatcha need?”
“I’ve got intel you and the league might wanna hear~” you said with a playful voice, however at the same time, you felt uneasy.
“Go on,” he said.
You hesitated before speaking, but went on anyway. “In 3 days, UA will be sending class 1-A and 1-B to this competition where they’ll battle other schools. It’s in a forest area where a race will be held. It’s the perfect place for the league to attack. Come and weaken their forces.”
“Sounds like a plan, little mouse. Good work.” He said into the jewelry.
“I’ll send you my coordinates the day we go. See you soon.” You said and turned off the device. You couldn’t help but feel guilty about this whole thing. Why?
“Hey Y/N? You in there?” Bakugou said from the other side of the door while knocking. Oh yeah, that’s why. Somehow, that loveable blondie made a footprint on you and now you can’t get him off your mind. After what he said about you being so amazing, you couldn’t fight back that fuzzy feeling you got whenever you thought of him or whenever he was around. You got up to answer the door.
“Hey! Katsuki! What are, uh, what are you doing here?” You asked.
“Uhh..I don’t know. Had some free time, thought I’d come hang with you and Rumor.” He said with a shy smile. A smile you’ve learned to love. You looked at the time. 1:44. You figured you could use a break day.
“How about this? Come inside and let me get ready, and we could spend the day together.” You offered. You were under a lot of stress with these conflicted feelings of light and dark and Katsuki felt like a break from it all. He was your little escape haven from the chaos.
“Heh, I thought our date was next Saturday,” he teased as he walked through your door.
“Well, our first official date. This can be more like us hanging out.” You said.
“Isn’t that what we’re supposed to do on a date?” He asked.
“I- oh shut up! You know what I mean!” You said in a flustered manner. Katsuki only laughed at your behavior and called you a little dumbass. You went to your wardrobe and asked for a little help.
“Wanna help me pick out an outfit?” You asked and Bakugou nodded and walked your way. He noticed how your closet pretty much screamed “Instagram baddie” and was impressed. He looked around and finally made his decision.
“The letterman black and white jacket, leave it open to show off the white tube top. Put that on with those light washed skinny jeans and put on these casual black heels.” He said as he dropped them all on you. The way he threw them all messed with your hair and so you huffed the piece covering your face out of your way.
“They’re called Heeled Ankle Boots.” You corrected him.
“Yeah yeah, go get dressed,” he said pushing you towards your bathroom.
“Oh? You sure you don’t want me to get dressed right here?” You teased, causing Bakugou to blush intensely. “I’m kidding.” You said before walking into the room, finally allowing Katsuki to breathe.
When you came out the bathroom, you looked at yourself in the mirror.
“Huh..not bad, Katsuki.” You said, admiring yourself. Bakugou was too busy staring at you, but he finally snapped out of it when he heard you say his name with that sweet voice.
“Erm, heh, yeah. My parents are designers so I guess it’s just a natural thing.” He said.
“Yeah? Maybe I’ll have to try on their clothes and maybe model for them,” you joked.
“You’ve definitely got the looks for it,” Bakugou said biting his lip. He was being so serious. You turned and looked at him with a sincere smile.
“Ummm..you ready to go?” You asked a little nervous.
“Yeah, c’mon.” He said dragging you to the front. Rumor follow you.
“Oh, stop it Rumor. You can hang here for a bit by yourself can’t you? Besides, the dorm is filled with plenty of people for you to spend time with.” You said petting his head, but you knew he wanted to go just to make sure you were okay. “If I need you, I’ll blow the whistle and call for you, okay?” You said to reassure him. He finally allowed you to go with Bakugou.
Katsuki took you to a nice cafe just to hang out. You talked, ate, joked around, and all and all just grew closer. Something about him just made you feel safe. The way he would look at you, give you that charming smile, and that time when he held you in his arms made you feel all warm inside.
“Hey dumbass. You’re staring.” Bakugou said.
“Am not!”
“Are too.”
“Hmph!” You grunted as you used your water bending to take his drink out of his cup and lift it over his head.
“Give it back Y/N,” he said. You messed with him though, and you glided his drink all around him.
“Oh, c’mon! Have a little fun and enjoy the magic show.” You playfully said. You had enough and placed his drink back in his cup. You both laughed and talked a little more before getting up to walk around town.
“Hey, Katsuki look! A festival!” You said as you ran to it leaving Bakugou to chase after you. You both enjoyed the booths and snacked on the street food venues. You played games and won each other prizes. You know, the cliche? As you both walked around some more, you saw something that reminded you of your time on the streets.
“Woah, look at that!” You pointed to a group sitting around a man sitting at a table.
“What is that?” Bakugou asked.
“It’s a quick way to earn money. This guy has 3 shells and a stone. He moves the stone around with the shells and you just have to guess which shell the stone is under. I never played growing up because I had nothing to offer, but now I do and this time I can use my ‘quirk’ to sense where the stone is!” You excitedly said.
“How can your quirk do that?” He questioned you.
“Ummm....” you were looking for an answer until fortunately a man lost the game and screamed out in pity and anger. “Oh look! It’s open! Let’s go!” You said dragging Bakugou to the stand.
“Well, hello there kids! Here to play?” The man asked.
“Yes sir! And I can offer you $20!” You said. A pretty decent deal. The man agreed and put up his own 20 and began to shuffle the shells. Using your earth bending, you felt where the stone was going and when he stopped the shuffling, you pointed to the correct shell.
“Thats some fancy guessing you got there young lady. How about you say we make this more interesting?” He offered.
“More interesting how?” You asked.
“More interesting like you throw in your friend’s fancy chain and I’ll bargain with $100, and thats more interesting.” He explained.
You snatched Bakugou’s chain and spoke. “I’ll do it for $300” you said. The man agreed, foolishly thinking he’d win. As he began to shuffle again, you sensed the stone and at the end of his little show, he attempted to flick the stone into his sleeve and keep it there. To stop this from happening, you used your earth bending to pull the stone from going into his sleeve and kept it under the shell. You made your pick.
“Sorry young Lady but- WHAT?” The man was shock to see the stone placed under one of the shells, more so, the correct shell.
“I won!” You said and grabbed the money and Bakugou’s chain as you both ran off. You laughed as Bakugou only scolded you.
“Y/N! You can’t just scam the guy like that!” He said.
“Oh lighten up Katsuki! Jeez, you always have a stick up your ass?” You joked. “Besides, it’s not like I did anything wrong. I only cheated because he was cheating too. I cheated a cheater,” you said explaining your logic. It kind of made sense to Bakugou so he sighed and went along with it.
“I guess you’re right,” he gave in.
“Of course I am,” you said flashing him the smile he craved to see, “now let’s go! There’s a firework show starting soon and I know the perfect spot!”
You dragged Bakugou to a place a little far from the center of town. When you arrived, you showed him a billboard sign. You guys had already been out for awhile and last time you checked the time in town it was 6:30, now after the walk it was 7:00.
“Ta-da!” You said while giving jazz hands to the tall sign. Bakugou just looked up in confusion.
“What am I looking at?”
“A billboard dummy! It’ll give us a great view of the fireworks! All we have to do is get up there, now c’mon!” You said but Bakugou pulled you back.
“We can’t go up there! It’s illegal,” he said but you only rolled your eyes.
“And do you see how stupid that is? What’s the worst that could happen from us going up there and why would they need to enforce that kinda law anyway?” You said.
“To stop people from vandalizing property.” Bakugou explained to you.
“Well do we look like the type to vandalize?” You said.
“Well no, but-“
“But nothing! We’ll be fine Katsuki! I promise. You’ll enjoy the view.” You pleaded. Bakugou still wasn’t fully convinced so you pressed up against him while hugging his arm. “Pleaseeee Katsuki?” You begged which finally made him give in.
He slightly smiled at you before telling you to hold onto his neck.
“For what?” You asked.
“Just trust me,” and so you did. When you were secure, he blasted you both into the sky and landed on top of the sign. It was dark and a little cold, so you shivered and Bakugou noticed. He held you in his arms to keep you warm and it worked well. A comfortable silence fell upon you two as you just enjoyed each other’s warmth.
“I’m really glad you came to UA.” Bakugou said in a gruff voice. You smiled up at him.
“Oh yeah? Why?” You asked.
“Cuz... I got to meet your dumbass. You’re beautiful, you’re strong...you’re amazing....and I really like you.” He said while looking down at you.
“Heh...I uh, I really like you too.” You said. You both began to lean in and here came that feeling again. No one else in the world but you two. As your lips grazed each other, you both jumped at the sound of the firework’s loud sound. You laughed it off and stared at the pretty colors that illuminated the dark sky. Each one allowing your smile to grow even more. Bakugou, kind of bummed out on having another kiss ruined, admired you and your beauty. He smiled as he saw your pearly whites and he just held you closer as you looked up in awe. This was a good enough night for him.
You ended up using the whistle to call for Rumor to help you guys get back to the dorms quickly. Rumor was just happy to be of service. When you landed, you and Bakugou walked hand in hand through the dorms. As you entered the common room, the Bakusquad set their eyes upon you two.
“Oouuuuu~” they all said noticing the connected hands and bashful faces. Bakugou simply told them to shut up as he dragged you to the floor your dorm rooms were on.
“Thanks for the fun night, Katsuki.” You said to him in your doorway.
“No problem. Kinda wish my kiss didn’t get disrupted for the second time this week but I still had a great night with you, princess.” You laughed at his little complaint. You went up and pecked his cheek, just like he would do to you.
“Goodnight, Cutie” you said and shut your door. Bakugou sighed as he smiled, listening to his heart beat wildly. He walked on to his dorm room to get ready for the night. School was tomorrow and he had a grandpa schedule to follow.
——————————————————————————
Behind the closed door, you sighed in bliss. You felt your heart go crazy at the thought of your little crush. Your crush. Crush. Damnit, that bastard had you wrapped around his finger. Under different circumstances, you wouldn’t have minded, but your with the league of villains. Bakugou is a future pro, you’re a low life villain. There’s no way he would fall for you when he found out the truth. You felt a little hurt at that fact, but you understood. It had to be this way. Awakening you from your thoughts was Dabi’s voice coming from the communication device.
“I’m here, Dabi. What is it?” You questioned.
“Don’t think I didnt see your little scene with whats his face on the billboard. Are you falling for UA’s resident hot head?” Dabi asked.
“What were you doing out in the forest?” You asked in shock. The league was not supposed to find out about this little..whatever you had with Bakugou!
���I was out on a walk, now answer my question. Do you like the little hero wannabe?” Dabi pressed on. You had to think. Did you like Bakugou? You knew you felt something towards him but you were still trying to figure out exactly what it was. If it was love you would openly admit it, but you were just in like with the guy, you weren’t sure of your feelings yet or even if you would dare pursue them.
“....n-no.” You replied. You felt in your heart and mind that you just lied to yourself. It hurt you a little too much by just saying that.
“Good. Because you’re a villain. Bakugou Katsuki has a whole future ahead of him. He wouldn’t want a villain scum like you hanging around.” He said and ended the call.
You let silent tears fall down your face as you placed the earring down and fell onto your bed. You were just villain scum. Underserving of anything good. You weren’t anything good at all. Your path was darkness. You were sure! But Bakugou Katsuki made you second guess yourself on that choice. Could you be good? Could you follow him to the light?
Unsure, you got ready for bed and decided to sleep this off. Once this whole operation was over, Bakugou would be out of your life and you wouldn’t have to worry about him anymore. But could you really stand to be around without him with you? You’ve only known the guy for a few days, and you’re this attached to him. You sighed to yourself as Rumor fell asleep.
“This is gonna be hell.”

So what if Katsuki’s fav flower are Gerbera Daisy because they’re pretty and green like his favorite green nerd BUT he’s slightly allergic to them and of course, Deku being the clueless nerd doesn’t know this so he’s always surprising his Kacchan w his fav flowers
Katsuki remembers the first day Gerbera Daisies became his favorite flowers like it was yesterday. He was 5 years old and of course, he was in the playground with Izuku but the damn nerd disappeared and he couldn’t find him. Katsuki searched everywhere and he started to panic until he hears an “over here Kacchan” coming from behind a bush.
“Izuku, why are you hiding? I was looking for you dummy.”
“No Kacchan I-I was looking for these pretty flowers for you.” The nerd looked nervous, biting his lips like he does when he’s unsure. “Will-will you marry me Kacchan?”
And the damn nerd pops up with those bright green eyes that carry the whole world in them, and Katsuki at 5 years old couldn’t saying anything but “of course dumb Izuku who else would I marry?” with a blush on his face as he grabs Dekus free hand and tugs him back on the playground.
So they become his favorite flower even though he was allergic to them. His throat got itchy and he would start to sneeze but Katsuki was no bitch so he handled it.
When Deku and Katsuki started dating, the sappy nerd gave him flowers every chance he got. Katsuki couldn't bare to tell him not to because although he never admitted it out loud he truly loved them. They were so beautiful and they looked even more breathtaking when his Deku held them out to him like he was giving Katsuki his whole heart. And maybe he was because that damn Deku sure as hell had his.
Deku never caught on to his secret though and when Deku proposes, because of course he fucking beats him to the punch /AGAIN/, they go through their planning and he says he wants Gerbera Daisies.
“They’re Kacchans favorite, they have to be our flower,” Deku says as he leans over the counter he’s sitting on and plants a soft kiss to the corner of Katsuki’s mouth.
Everyday Katsuki thinks he can’t fall more in love, his whole being is filled to the brim with his love for Deku but here he is, planning their fucking wedding and feeling like his heart is going to explode.
Katsuki wants to say that the only reason they’re his favorite is because Dekus his fucking favorite. But he can’t tell him no. He doesn’t have the heart for it, not when Izuku is looking at him like /that/
“Mmh whatever damn Deku. I don’t care what flower we choose.” Katsuki grumbles instead with a blush on his cheeks.
And so Deku gets his way, or Katsuki gets /HIS/ way because every time he sees those flowers his heart swells and he can only think of his nerds smile, and doesn’t that sound like the one winning here is him?
But on the day of their wedding day Katsuki isn’t expecting there to be /so many/ The room is filled from top to bottom and at first, all he can do is gasp because they look so unbearably beautiful so unbearably /Deku/ and he wouldn't have it any other way.
So he thinks he’ll be okay, it's just one day, he’ll barrel through like he’s always done it.
But when he’s waiting at the altar, with All Might standing right next to him (yes the nerd wanted him to officiate) and Kirishima looking like he might cry Katsuki starts feeling overwhelmed.
His eyes start to water, his throat feels too dry, he’s itching all over and he’s so fucking hot but he’s okay because Deku will walk in any minute and he’ll be okay.
As soon as he sees that green floof of hair he loves so much a gasp catches in his throat because Deku looks so beautiful, so beautiful he outshines the flowers, those shitty flowers don’t have anything on his Deku he realizes.
And at this point Katsuki doesn’t know if he’s crying because of the flowers or because of Deku, maybe a little bit of both but now he really can’t breathe and it isn’t because he’s filled with so much happiness that it's getting too much, (maybe it is at this point Katsuki believes his love may really be going plus fucking ultra) but no, his throat is closing and he’s not getting enough oxygen. He’s mildly aware that he is going into anaphylactic shock.
He feels a hand steady him, Kirishima, but that doesn’t help and all he can see is Dekus worried face and no that's not right, that's not what Deku is supposed to look like. This is supposed to be the happiest day of their life so why does his Deku look so terrified?
Katsuki tries to move and speak, do something because that's not the look he wants his nerd to have but his vision blurs and he can only hear Deku yell his name, so pained and raw and Katsukis heart aches at the sound. All he can do is reach out for him before everything goes black.
He wakes up on a hospital bed and he can hear Deku sobbing next to him, holding his hand to his face.
Katsuki squeezes Dekus hand “Quit getting your snot all over me dumb Deku,” he says but it comes out more garbled and raspy than he’d like.
Deku gasps and wraps his arms around him sobbing even louder “Kacchan, Kacchan you-you stopped breathing and-and I thought I was g-going to lose you, I-I couldn’t…” he’s crying into Katsukis shoulder holding on tight as if his life depended on it.
“M’ okay Deku. Just a dumb allergic reaction.” Kacchan grumbles as he runs his fingers through soft green curls. He kisses Dekus forehead but that only makes him cry harder.
“Stupid, stupid, idiot Kacchan.” Izuku says “W-why didn’t you say?? A-after all t-these years. I-I could’ve killed you w-with my stupid flowers.” He sniffles
Katsuki hears shuffling at the edge of his bed and All Might is standing there watching them both. “He is right Young Bakugou. You shouldn’t have put yourself in such a dire situation.” He says with a solemn look.
And Katsuki thinks this is perfect because All Might is the only one they need to get married. After all, he’s not going to NOT fucking marry his Deku right now. He could care less about anything else, all he needs is Deku.
He needs Deku to know how much he fucking loves him and that he has been thinking about this day since he was fucking 5 years old and maybe he’s a sap but today is their day.
“Whatever All Might. Can you just do your job as our officiant andmarry us already?” Katsuki says as he makes space for Deku and pulls him down to sit next to him.
A roaring laugh escapes from All Might while Deku turns into a stuttering mess talking about him being too sick and how their friends are waiting and the party.
Katsuki grabs Izukus face with both his hands and makes him look at him. “I’m fucking fine and I want to marry you right now Deku. I don’t want to wait anymore.” And he kisses him, soft and sweet and when Izuku looks at him with so much love in his eyes, he knows it's a yes.
He hears All Might clear his throat and they both turn to look at him, almost forgotten in their moment. “Very well my boys.”
So they go through all the works and he says his vows and of course his crybaby nerd bawls the whole time but what he wasn’t expecting was crying over Dekus vows and he can't even feel embarrassed because he can feel in his whole heart that this man has lived his life for him and he the same.
All Might gets to the end and Katsuki is so beyond happy. They're both so high on each other's love, drinking in this perfect moment that they don’t hear they’re friends and family walk in. They congratulate them because of course they all knew, how could they not, the nosy fuckers.
——
He finally gets to leave the next day. As he changes, the sun casts her iridescent glow throughout the hospital room, warming everything it touches but Katsuki ignores it, turns around to face the sun sitting next to him. And God, even if Katsuki could tear his eyes away from Izuku, he wouldn’t.
Izuku's hair is ruffled and out of place, he's still wearing his suit from yesterday and he bites his tongue, his eyes fixed downward in concentration as he fills out release papers.
Katsuki can’t keep his stomach from fluttering, and has to pinch himself to remind him that he isn’t dreaming.
Izuku looks at him, pouting, complains that he isn’t helping. Katsuki laughs, because it wasn’t until he spoke that he was able to be snapped out of his trance.
He reaches towards him and envelopes him in a hug, holds him close and basks in the love he can’t deny.

To Love’s End, Part 2
Tumblr media
Read Part One Here! 
Summary: When love isn’t enough to mold fate together. Pairing: Bakugou Katsuki x Fem!Reader Warning: angst, fluff Word Count: ~3k Playlist: Interlude by Brillion
Quirkless AU! Feudal Japan AU!
In a far away palace, King Shigaraki (AFO) and his soldiers are gathered in the hall for a meeting. 
The loss of General Dabi was a hard hit for King Shigaraki and his plans to overthrow King Sasaki. Dabi had always managed to recruit new soldiers and was revered as one of King Shigaraki’s best lord. Dabi always knew what to say to get poor countrymen who were not happy with King Sasaki’s rule, riled up. 
“We should forgive our enemies, but not before they are hanged. An eye for an eye is never enough. Never, never, never.” Dabi always said.
King Shigaraki shushes his army and explains with Dabi gone, he needs to find a successor to take Dabi’s place.
“My lord, please consider lord Tomura. His loyalty to the throne makes him the best fit.” A lord kneels to King Shigaraki. The hall fills with chatter among soldiers, many nodding their heads to the recommendation. 
“It would be an honor, King Shigaraki.” Tomura steps up to kneel before the King. 
"If I may, my lord.” 
Heads turn to the back of the room as a figure in a dark green cloak approaches the King. The figure steps forward taking off their hood.
“Deku.” Tomura hiss under his breath. 
“As General Dabi’s right hand man, your majesty, I believe the right as his successor is no other than mine.” Deku kneels, lowering his head. 
“How dare you show your face to the King! It was your fault General Dabi died!” Tomura, in rage, drew his sword and made way to Deku. Deku is quick on his feet in drawing his sword in equal strength. Both swords are drawn at eye level, standing mere feets apart. 
“My lord died as a sacrifice to ensure the King’s vision. He left his ambitions in my hands and I will not let a disgraced Samurai who didn’t answer the call taint his name.” Deku bite back, unmoved and unshaken by Tomura’s threats. 
Tomura’s rage only grew hearing Deku belittle him; he’s now seeing red. And with red comes a fierce swing of his sword towards Deku. Swords clash in the hall as Deku and Tomura take turns swinging at each other. Roars from soldiers erupt as they cheer for who they want to win. 
Tomura charges a swing at Deku and Deku dodges before swiftly dealing a butterfly kick with his leg, striking Tomura behind the head, causing him to stumble to the ground. Deku uses this opportunity to pin him down, one knee on the chest and the other pinning the arm that holds the sword. Deku aims his sword to Tomura’s neck, sword threatening to pierce skin should he make any movement. 
“I wouldn’t move if I were you”. Piercing green orbs sends a shiver through Tomura. 
“Enough!” King Shigaraki raises his palm to quiet the hall. Deku releases Tomura from his hold to face the King. 
“I apologize, my lord”. Deku kneels.
“Deku, it wasn’t long ago that you joined our ranks. To be frank, I believe Tomura is the best fit for the job. Dabi would be alive today if you’ve done your job of scouting the grounds that day.” Deku bites his tongue hearing the mistake he made that caused the death of Dabi. Deku has already blamed himself enough since that fateful day. Tomura smirks as he gets up to kneel. 
“But Deku have shown more strength and determination than anyone here.” Caught off guard at the King's new confession, Deku raise his gaze to meet him. “I want to see if you really got what it takes to succeed Dabi’s place.”
The King rises from his chair to walk towards Deku. “I will give you the position.”
“My lord—“ Tomura protested. Tomura’s soldiers follow suit from the sides. 
“Silence!” King Shigraki lifts his palm. “I will give you the position Deku, if you kill the samurai that killed Dabi. Samurai Bakugou.”
Deku hesitates hearing the all too familiar name and breaks gaze with the King which doesn’t go unnoticed. Before Dabi’s death, Dabi had previously consulted with the King about Deku. Dabi chose Deku as his right hand man because he knew Deku would be a good weapon against the rising star, Samurai Bakugou. Dabi believed that turning Deku against Bakugou was a crucial part to winning the war. King Shigaraki knew that Deku’s weakness would be confronting the friends he used to know and the only way for Deku to truly prove his loyalty to him was to completely cut off all connections to his past. 
“Our recent assassination was unsuccessful despite sending some of our best men. I’m tired of us losing to King Sasaki. Surely, Deku, you can do better. Succeed at eliminating Bakugou and the position is yours.” The sound of a sword leaving its scabbard can be heard. 
King Shigraki points his sword at Deku, tip under his chin. “Fail and it will cost you your life. Do I make myself clear?” King Shigaraki annunciates his last words slowly. Deku gulps at the position he’s in.
“Tomura, keep an eye on Deku.”  King Shigaraki returns his sword and turns around to exit the hall. As the King exits, Deku feels the pressure of a hundred eyes on him.  
“With pleasure.” Tomura looks at Deku, face plastered with a smug grin. 
~~~
The horizon is now a deep blue color and the lights in the palace are starting to get lit by the servants. The sliding door opens and the aroma of fresh cooked fish is enough to make Kirishima turn his head. Ibara motions the plate of food to him, giving him her best smile, as she makes her way inside. 
“Ibara, my lady.” Kirishima thanks her with a kiss on the hand before taking a seat at the table. Kirishima knows the drill; he slides off the top of his yukuta to allow Ibara to rebandange his wounds as he eats. 
Camie is passing nearby as she heads to Bakugou’s room. Ibara and Kirishima can be heard laughing and talking about their days before a maid closes the door to Kirishima’s room. Camie huffs in annoyance that Ibara has managed to snag Kirishima while she was still working to get anything out of Bakugou. It’s been a few days since she’s been visiting Bakugou’s chambers and each day has been miserable. 
The sliding door opens and the aroma of fresh cooked fish does nothing to gain Bakugou’s gaze from his book. Camie clears her throat and only then did Bakugou look at her. As Bakugou is eating, Camie is changing Bakugou’s bandages. No matter what small talk Camie initiates, Bakugou only responds with grunts and hums. After another hour of excruciating silence, Camie leaves Bakugou’s chambers. 
The sliding door closes with a thud. Camie glares at the empty plate in hand, chest heaving with frustration. Camie doesn’t understand what Bakugou sees in you. 
Camie starts to walk out back to the hall to exit. Across the other end she sees Ibara exit Kirishima’s room and stops to study them. Kirishima pulls Ibara by the chin and gives her a kiss. Ibara is a blushing mess and covers her face with her kimono. Kirishima smiles and says his good night as he watches Ibara turn to leave. Jealousy grows stronger inside Camie. 
Ibara had tried to court Bakugou and was unsuccessful and now she got Kirishima. It’s so unfair! 
Camie has been at the palace longer than Ibara has and finding a suitor hasn’t been easy. Bakugou was the first man worthy of her and yet, he doesn’t want her. He wanted a maid--a goddamn unworthy, dirty, filthy maid. The plate in Camie’s hand cracks from pressure. 
“L/N, I’m telling you, Kirishima is the man of my dreams.” Ibara expresses her happiness, entering her bedroom and undressing from her kimono. “We kissed for the third day. In a row!” Ibara squeals with excitement. 
“Kirishima is a fine man, my lady. It makes me happy to know you’re happy.” you say taking a seat on the ground in front of Ibara’s bed. 
“Have you taken care of my dirty clothes and prepared my outfit for tomorrow?” Ibarra brushes her hair. 
“Yes, my lady.”
Ibara nods before rambling on some more about Kirishima. Your mind begins to wander to Bakugou. It’s been a few days since you’ve last seen him. Is he doing okay? Is he eating? Is he with Camie right now? 
Leaving Ibara’s room that night, your mind was foggy and you know going to bed wasn’t an option. Instead, you head to the kitchen to check on Urakaka, who just got done cleaning. Urakaka is surprised to see you’re still up but offers a glass of sake the King’s guests didn’t finish. You gladly take a seat and enjoy it with her. “Can’t sleep?” Urakaka pours sake into your cup.
“Yeah, too much on my mind.” You grab the cup and take a big gulp.
“Careful. This sake is not for the weak.” Urakaka looks at you with a serious face. After a few seconds of silence, you both laugh. You and Urakaka are no stranger to drinking leftover sake. Being on the Kings good side has its perks.  
  “So you and Bakugou huh?” Urakaka catches you off guard and you choke on your sake. Urakaka only laughs more. 
“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You clear your throat and wipe the excess sake from your lips. 
“Oh come on, Y/N. Who do you think you’re kidding? Come on, spill the beans.” Urakaka nudges you before taking another sip of sake. You hesitate for a second. 
Growing up in the palace together as a servant made you two close and you know if there’s one person you can trust on this planet that cares, it was Urakaka. 
“He’s amazing.” You start off. Urakaka listens to every word you say as she sips her sake. Before you know it, you’re sharing not just how you feel about Bakugou but also your current dilemma with Camie. You know Camie has caught on to something and in spite of you, she’s done a pretty good job keeping you away. “I don’t even know if he’s okay.” You end, chugging the rest of the sake in your cup. 
“Hmm. So that’s why Camie has been insisting that you help with yard work lately.” 
Your small talk is suddenly cut short when a maid comes to tell Urakaka Kirishima had requested for some tea for his study. “Go, maybe you’ll catch him.” Urakaka hands you the teapot. 
Walking down the hall your heartbeat starts to accelerate, unsure of what to expect. Each turn you made brought you closer to Bakugou. When you reach the end of the wing, you’re at a crossroad. In one direction is Bakugou’s room while the other is Kirishima’s. Your gaze lingers at Bakugou’s door down the end of the wing, wishing to see him come out. 
Your heartbeat is moving too fast as your wishes get louder in your head and your head is spinning now. The sake in your veins does nothing but add on to how nervous you felt. Your hands are ice cold and if it wasn’t for the warm teapot in your hands you’re sure they would’ve caught ice. With a deep breath, you close your eyes, inhaling the fresh air to calm the voices in your head and the feelings in your heart. 
“L/N?” 
Finding the voice that called out to you, your heart sinks at the sight of Kirishima. “L/N, is everything okay?” Kirishima calls out again. 
You take a deep breath to ground yourself from the disappointment before making your way to Kirishima. You explain you got lost trying to find his room, though it was a lie. Kirishima welcomes you into his chambers and closes the door behind him. 
As you enter Kirishima’s room, Camie watches from Bakugou’s wing leaning against the wall to not be seen. Camie smirks as this knowledge is something she can use against you. Making the decision to go back to Bakugou’s room seems to have been a good one. Camie spent the last 30 minutes watching Bakugou study and though he didn’t say one word to her she didn’t care. His huffs and puffs of annoyance only fuels her. Camie sees this as a challenge; she needs to put you in your place and only then will Bakugou see that you are unfit to be his. Camie walks away proudly. 
Bakugou places his book on the table and sighs heavily once Camie closes the sliding door. Finally! 
Being stuck in his room all day really sucked but Bakugou preferred to be alone than to be stuck with Camie. Camie was insufferable. He tried his best to let her down but it doesn’t seem like she got the message. Actually, Bakugou knows she’s just as determined to stick around as much as he is determined to leave.
“So annoying.” Bakugou looks down at the bandages around his torso and the flashback of you cleaning his wounds cross his mind. He briefly wonders if you’re okay before his mind ponders if you’re worried about him and if you’ve eaten. Bakugou knows that you tend to overwork yourself when you’re stressed.
“L/N?”
Bakugou hears someone call your name from outside his room and pauses with confusion. Camie left his room not too long ago. Did she bump into you or was he hearing things? Bakugou quickly stands but groans in pain as he gets up too fast. Placing a firm palm on his torso, he curses walking to his door and leans an ear to listen. 
Bakugou listens for a few more seconds but doesn’t hear anything. He’s sure he heard your name though. Bakugou slides the door open and peeks down the hall. 
“L/N?” Bakugou calls out. 
No response but the wind that flows by. 
Bakugou would be lying if he said he wasn’t hoping to see you outside. Bakugou closes his eyes and leans on the sliding door. After a few deep breaths, he lowers himself to sit, gazing down the hall in hopes that you’ll appear for whatever reason. The moon is bright in the sky tonight and as it shines down and lights up the hallway, Bakugou wishes to see you. 
“Can I ask you a question, Kirishima?” You set down the tea on the table next to Kirishima. 
“How’s Bakugou?”
Kirishima chuckles at your question because he figured it was why you delivered the tea to him. Bakugou hasn’t been shy about the way he feels about you to him so of course, Kirishima knew you felt the same way about Bakugou. Kirishima reaffirms that Bakugou was healing nicely, though it has only been a few days. 
“We’re tough and the manliest Samurai’s you’ll find. These scratches aren’t enough to kill us.” Kirishima jokes before explaining that Ibara visits often and she’ll tell him Camie is helping Bakugou recover. Though they live in separate wings, they don’t get to leave their rooms because of the King’s order. Kirishima laughs as he jokes about how it feels to be trapped inside his room. 
Leaving Kirishima’s room, you feel more at ease. Bakugou was doing okay so that helped calm your worries--well, half of your worries. You wish Kirishima good night as you shut his door. You turn to look at the moon, taking in the beauty of the full moon casting over the palace buildings. As you stare up at the moon you quietly wish to see Bakugou even if it’s in the distance. 
Making your way down the hall, you reach the crossroad where you stood just moments earlier. You chuckle to yourself how silly it was when you thought it was Bakugou who called out to you. Taking a look down Bakugou’s hall, your eyes widen and your heart skips a beat. 
A familiar pile of blond hair sits in between the door, eyes closed, as if he fell asleep. It must be the sake because before you can object, your legs are pushing you forward to him. 
“Bakugou?”
Bakugou hears your voice and groans. “I must be losing my mind. I’m hearing things again.”
“Bakugou, are you okay?”
At your question, Bakugou instantly opens his eyes to look at you. Upon seeing you in front of him, his heart skips a beat and he tenses. You look beautiful under the moonlight. 
Gosh he forgot how beautiful you were. 
Heat traveled at lightning speed to his cheeks before he could protest. 
“Are you okay? Why are you sleeping here?” You look at him worried as you sit on your heels. Bakugou comes to the realization that he had dozed off wishing to see you. He obviously can’t admit that to you though. He quickly makes up something. 
“Laying down hurts.” Bakugou clears his throat avoiding eye contact.
You take a moment to examine Bakugou’s wounds and notice a small patch of blood stain on his torso. 
“You’re hurt!” Reaching out, you point to the wound on his torso. Bakugou looks down and notices the small patch of blood. Must be from earlier when he got up too fast. He was only kidding about saying it hurts and now he really got you worried. 
“Would you like help changing the bandages?” You gaze up at Bakugou through your eyelashes.
Bakugou’s heart is thumping loud, he’s worried you’ll hear it. But he doesn’t want you to go yet so if changing his bandages is what it takes to have you stay for a bit longer, he’ll take it. 
“I’m sorry, I didn’t--” You clear your throat and shake your head. “I’m sorry, I had some sake earlier with Urakaka and I’m saying things I wouldn’t norm--” You ramble on with your thoughts. Bakugou finds it cute that you're embarrassed. He wants to see this side of you more. 
“Do what you want, women.” Bakugou interrupts you mid-sentence, getting up to enter his room. He takes a seat at this table and motions to the box on it. “There should be some bandages in there.”
Is this really happening? You feel like you’re on cloud nine! Your cheeks warm at the thought of being alone in Bakugou’s room with him. 
Looks like the moon granted both your wishes tonight.
To be continued....

Do you think there's a chance that Bakugou and Kaminari can understand each other in a way that others can't? I think about this a lot.
Like.. they're both going through burnout, one way or another. Bakugou hasn't had a solid win in quite some time, although he's working himself to the bone. He has to sort out his emotions too, which is another mess in itself. Kami is trying so hard to keep up with academics but he just can't get his grades higher. His hero work is getting better but he still has things to work on.
So, I think that they can understand and help each other in a very unique way.
I agree, I think Kami is a very unique person in their world who does some seriously amazing things for Katsuki.
Kami plays a positive opposite to Katsuki and Deku, because he isn’t obsessed with heros or even being a hero himself.
At the start Kami has a great power but little in the way of skill or blind drive
Unlike explosions there’s really no way to safely practice going all out without specific training and guidance. Katsuki can just shoot into the air in an open area, Kami would still be extremely dangerous to others and himself if he tried that. Probably the only way he could safely practice to not hurt himself or the structures around him is how he does use himself as a little outlet to charge stuff or power them.
He knows his quirk is powerful without much training, unlike explosions where you need to learn how to be effective or being quirkless where you have to fight predjuice and god to be taken seriously. It takes minimal electricity to be lethal and/or a structural hazard, getting into the hero course was just a matter of keeping his grades up. He was pretty much free to have a normal childhood (not saying he doesn’t work hard or want it as bad, just that those feelings could be saved for UA)
I think because of that Kami isn’t all that impressed with just being good at stuff, like he thinks it’s cool and he’s happy for his friends wins and successes but he knows how much of it is luck. That sometimes it’s not that you’re making good choices, but that you have good choices to make.
Kami isn’t any more impressed by Bakugos combat skills than he is Jiros music, to him Bakugo isn’t all that special and he seems to truly believe that being a good person matters way more
Heck just being a person matters more, he pays close attention to his friends interests outside of heroism and seems to truly want a real life while being a hero. He wants to have fun, date people, make friends. He’s one of the few kids who don’t seem to have sold their lives away to the cause
He’s vastly more impressed by Katsukis development as a person than just in combat, he speaks waay more highly of Bakugo using his AP shot to make sure he doesn’t hurt people around him than he did simply seeing Bakugo invent it in class
Kami managed not to be a major threat to Katsukis ego while not being easily dismissed, and he’s not afraid to call Katsuki out. Like Deku he recognizes and tells Katsuki when he’s being mean, not just rude or disrespectful or arrogant.
I think there a important distinction rude/disrespectful are opinions that have varying degrees of seriousness, and weaker people often confuse confidence with arrogance (in both directions).
Mean is clear cut, you have done something that to some degree is hurtful to others. Ya you can tell others to suck it up, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’ve been unkind(unheroic) and hurtful.
Kami’s emotional intelligence is intense, he’s honestly is on par with Dekus and he isn’t given enough credit for it.
Tumblr media
I don’t think him calling Katsuki Kacchan was just a light hearted tease, and it’s not just an adopted nickname, Kami doesn’t always call him Kacchan. I think it’s him making a point without having to get Katsuki all in his feels(which would just result in walls up even harder), it his way of saying “I see you”.
Sulking is a very particular word choice, and we know Kami has a decent vocabulary. It’s a translation so I can’t be a hundred on this point but to me sulking has a level of sadness to it that brooding/pouting/stewing or any other word wouldn’t have. Also sulking is more closing in on oneself than just sitting in a bad mood, it’s more withdrawn.
Then Kami asks the only person worse at lying than Deku to be honest. He sees Katsuki very clearly, in ways no one but All Might has
And Kami does notice Bakugo struggling
Has for a long time, he may have even been one of the firsts to notice.
Tumblr media
He doesn’t make a big deal of it, but he has noticed. He notices everything about his friends
So basically Kami is a perfect person and deserves more credit for everything he does.

Ultimatum: The Art of Lying In A Made Bed
(Or Why My Experience With Chapter 285 Is Contrary To Everyone Else's)
[Manga Spoilers Ahead. Also Opinions. Feel Free To Ignore.]
After Chapter 284, many fans were wondering how the story of BNHA would follow up on Katsuki's development. Now that Chapter 285 is officially out, fans are clamoring about Katsuki's latest acts of heroism, about how his arc is finally kicking it into high gear.
I'd be inclined to agree, but… you know how these things go.
[Heads up fans/stans, if you like Katsuki you might wanna bail. The word vomit that follows is pretty much incoherent and reflects my disaster of a thought process.]
I was looking forward to Chapter 285. I had my reservations on the execution of Chapter 284, but if the next chapter could follow it up and then some, I'd be pleasantly surprised. But then the leaks came out. And then the fan translation. And as of today, the official VIZ translation.
While everyone else is cheering for explosion boy, I'm just… done.
285 didn't get me to see how far Bakugo's journey has come. 285 didn't get me to finally root for him. And maybe I am making this decision prematurely, maybe I am missing something, but…
...the way things are going in the story I just- I just CAN'T root for him.
And I'm not saying the rest of you can't, if you're still reading. Katsuki is definitely a different person compared to Chapter 1, a better person, and he's definitely been heading on the up and up! If you can and want to support him, then by all means, go for it, don't let me stop you! It's just…
For me, chapter 284 was a wavering torch: a flicker of hope that sometimes dwindled, but was still there. Chapter 285 was the moment where I wanted to jump on the Katsuki Development Train, to finally gain some semblance of respect for him. But when I jumped, I landed on the tracks, and had to crawl back onto the platform.
I missed my chance to jump on that train. Whether it's because of previous circumstances or recent circumstances, I'll never know…
You probably wanna ask me at this point, "But Crimson, why DIDN'T Chapter 285 make you see the awe inspiring pinnacle of character development that is Katsuki Bakugo???"
To put it simply: it's a culmination thing.
For starters, there's a sort of… whiplash with Katsuki's development in the last few chapters. People like me will complain that Katsuki's development is too slow, in the case of the last 2-3 chapters, it feels like a switch was flipped, and now it's become too fast. Perhaps it's a me thing, but let me try to explain…
Shoto starts out as a standard background character. By the time he gets his spotlight in the Sports Festival, he comes off as reserved and antagonistic. After the whole "it's your power" moment, Shoto is finally able to accept the side he always hated. Then Katsuki fights Shoto, and we're shown he still needs time to grow; his left side comes with a lot of baggage he can't just brush off in the span of a single sparring match.
Fastforward to Hosu. Shoto's starting to take other people into better account. He's starting to learn to better control his fire. He's reconnected with his mother. His goal is no longer one-upping his old man; he has goals, people, that he wants to protect. He's coming into his own and wants others to do the same, like Tenya.
He joins the Katsuki Rescue Squad because, like Izuku, he had an opportunity to save Katsuki, didn't, and now he wants to make up for it. When we get to the Provisional License Exam, we're yet again slammed with the fact that his growth is still not done via Inasa, that there's still a bit of Endeavor he has to shake off, even if it was in the past. And he does progress towards that with the Remedial Course Arc. And while I have my opinions on the Endeavor Agency Arc, I'll admit that it was another development opportunity for Shoto and the Todoroki family. Shoto's growth comes with setbacks, but overall it's consistent.
Let's shift gears to Tenya, who's characterization I find fascinating. He starts out opposed to Izuku when they first meet at the Entrance Exam. He sees how Izuku is (for lack of a better phrase) "better qualified" at heroics thus far, reassesses his position, and apologizes whilst making amends. When Tenya resorts to LITERAL MURDER against Stain, the narrative does not let him go off without reprocussions. His arms are damaged, his supervisor's teaching license is revoked, and while he managed to avoid legal charges via police cover up, it still came close. Tenya listened to Stain's words, and opted to improve himself by that notion. He tries to set a better example, be a better class rep. It isn't a one and done.
Him lashing out during the Hideout Raid Arc is an offshoot of that. He doesn't deck Izuku just to be a dick; he's trying to knock some sense into him. They're so focused on Katsuki that they're forgetting about everyone else. Their friends, their teachers, their parents. If they f*** up like Tenya almost did at Hosu, they'll have hell to pay, and he doesn't want that. Of course, once they explain that combat/murder is not their M.O., Tenya tags along, if only to ensure the operation goes smoothly without this hitch. And again, Tenya keeps up. He looks after his classmates, looks after Izuku during the Shie Hassaikai arc. His growth is also consistent.
There are probably more characters I could elaborate on (Ochako, Momo, Eijiro, etc.), but I'll stop there. So, what's the deal with Katsuki's arc?
Well, it's… frustratingly back and forth.
It's one thing to have setbacks like Tenya and Shoto. It's something else entirely to have multiple setbacks and to keep trucking on with only abstract signs of development, but otherwise feeling like a very similar character compared to several chapters ago.
This is (in my opinion) Katsuki's problem. If we're going by what the manga stated, his arc technically started in Chapter 11: "Bakugo's Starting Line." But this is a rocky start. Izuku tells him about OFA right from the getgo out of guilt, but this neglects the fact that he's technically lying to everyone about it (including his new friends Ochako and Tenya), that OFA is a world-shattering secret, and that Katsuki is likely the worst person to tell this to considering that Izuku just handed Katsuki's ass to him and Katsuki was willing to use lethal force in their Trial. That aside, instead of say, sucking up his pride and opting to try and learn from everyone else, Katsuki doesn't really change strategies or approaches. He essentially does what he was planning to do since the start of UA; he's only crying because, SURPRISE, people are better than him. You'd think he'd expect that considering he called his middle school crappy…
After the USJ, once everyone had their "Lol Bakugo sux" moment on the bus ride, we get to the Sports Festival and everyone is clamoring to join Katsuki's team despite his apparent unapproachability. This feels less like something happened in the two weeks leading up to the Sports Festival, and more like history repeating itself from middle school. Moving on to the tournament, we don't even get to see how capable Katsuki is at serious combat. Two of his matches resort to Deus Ex Machina pulls, and the other two are in his corner by principle instead of difficult.
First off, Katsuki vs Ochako. I don't know why people praise this fight. For starters, it makes Katsuki HEAVILY OoC. Ochako is the only person he asks if she wants to back out before the match even starts. The ONLY person, which kinda undermines the whole "he didn't underestimate her" thing. Then he takes a reactionary stance the entire battle. Like, I thought we were still dealing with the "fist first" Katsuki. He does this to Eijiro, Fumikage, even Shoto, but Ochako? Stay still and then attack. Even if he did get his gravity removed, couldn't he just… propelly himself and let her have it. If he was proactive, he could have ended the fight quicker. Instead, he just plays sitting duck and headless chicken. If you're gonna have Katsuki win the fight, don't bulls*** it.
Which brings me to the final bit of that fight: the meteor shower. Having Katsuki blow that away after supposedly expending most of his energy earlier in the match just does NOT sit right. Ochako gets the upper hand, and then you just… negate that? You expect me to believe that Katsuki could generate an explosion at that magnitude, if nothing else? And what exactly does that do for him in the end? No one else tires him out for the remainder of the festival, which is pretty sketch.
(And yeah, I know I know "What part of her was frail?" but that's more of a retrospective thing than in the moment, coupled with the facf that it's never elaborated on again in any capacity, with Ochako or with someone else. It's a throwaway moment; a waste. Moving on…)
You really can't say much about the matchups with Eijiro and Fumikage. With Eijiro, it's an endurance match, and Katsuki apparently has infinite stamina and is on the attack. And he just… rushes him, which I'm pretty sure anyone else would do. Then with Fumikage, Dark Shadow is weak to light. Katsuki's explosions emit light on contact. Do the math.
And I am especially mad at Katsuki vs Shoto because one, he stays in place yet again at the start of the match, and two, he can apparently ignore his Quirk' weakness to low temperatures. In a gym uniform. Against a glacier the size of a building. Even with his power output, you don't see his explosions dampening in magnitude. It's obviously in his favor, which defeats any tension the fight could have had. It sucks, and in the long run, as a wise man once said, "Todoroki should have folded [his] ass."
Then we get to the Final Exams (ABOUT DAMN TIME) and… Katsuki hits Izuku for trying to cooperate, nearly gets knocked out once, and gets knocked out the second time around. He does not want to work with Izuku despite it being All Might, is petty enough to consider losing, and actively grumbles against working with Izuku. And all of his supposed self-preservation goes flying out the window when he's willing to try and beat All Might, leaving Izuku having to come and carry this boy out of the gate, which should not have let him pass.
Then there's the Training Camp attack. The second Izuku is mentioned, Katsuki decides to go AWOL, and while being kidnapped sucks, I am less sympathetic when you're boneheaded enough to help them capture you because you wanted to fight villains instead of getting to safety like the professionals recommended, all because of your one-sided hatefest with one of your classmates. Congrats, you played yourself.
Then we get to the Provisonal License Exam, which feels like a step in the right direction… until you realize this will boil over into Deku vs Kacchan 2, which will get both of them in trouble, which will give Katsuki insight into OFA while Izuku gets shunned by his classmates, and which will prevent Katsuki from the one ass beating that could have potentially taught him something. It's essentially the narrative covering his ass, and then he has the gall to be happy about other people potentially getting set back just because he was set back. Geez dude.
The Cultural Festival essentially undoes what the Remedial Course Arc accomplishes, having Katsuki look down on the rest of UA when he said NOT to look down on people earlier. And then his speech is still heavily antagonistic to the rest of the school, and to the idea of basic human decency and kindness in general. And if I'm being honest, that whole "he can play drums" feels like a big ass pull to keep him in the spotlight. At least the story brought back his ability to cook down the line.
The Joint Training Arc is just shoe horning in regards to Katsuki. It acts like his gearing up towards saving, but the circumstances are heavily, heavily in his favor, and not in a good way. I've already brought up how Katsuki won't get "saving" until the Endeavor Arc, and how here he's just doing it to show off, so I won't go into it here. Then apparently he gets to outwit a recommendation student 'cause why not? It makes him look more impressive than he actually is, even though he outright states he hasn't changed much if at all. Not to mention the narrative makes it sound like he was some sort of underdog, even though he only got kidnapped and didn't get his license. And I know those are big things, but not enough to warrant his victory feeling that triumphant. I'd probably buy it if he didn't win the Sports Festival or pass the Final Exam. Keep him in that slump for longer than you actually do, or it lessens the impact. And let's not forget, he might have been willing to help Izuku with Blackwhip via fisticuffs, but the second he realized he wasn't getting anything out of it, he noped out. And it's been what, almost 200 chapters since his "starting line?"
I don't have much to say during the Endeavor Arc (that was its own can of worms),  but as for the War Arc thus far… here's what I mean by "whiplash." The arc begins in Chapter 253. By Chapter 257, Katsuki will demonstrate how much he just does not give a f*** about Izuku's mastery over OFA so long as it looks like he'll come out on top. By Chapter 274, when Izuku's gotta split, it'll look like Katsuki has been thinking about some stuff, but by 275 he's gonna throw that out the window so he can attempt to one up Tomura and Izuku, and then he'll nearly get killed for it. And we won't know what exactly Katsuki is thinking until a flashback in Chapter 284 (which chronologically takes place after 257), where he has a conversation with All Might about his past with Izuku. Or at least the bullet points. If you're me, the start of the conversation feels less about Izuku and more so about his situation: his situation with OFA. And as much as I want to believe there was at least one good kernel in Katsuki that he was too stubborn to let out with Izuku, I feel like Katsuki only brings up him and his capabilities now because he got a Quirk. That's what put him on Katsuki's radar. That's what forced Katsuki to take notice of Izuku, what caused him to be unable to ignore his own weakness. Because of a Quirk. That's… borderline shallow, if not remarkably so.
And even when Katsuki is attempting to save Izuku in 285, his first thoughts are still on OFA. And even if we go by the line of thought that Katsuki is thinking "Even if OFA sucks, it's still Izuku's Quirk." And that's nice and all, but the flashback makes it seem like the Quirk is still All Might's Quirk as well. That all of Izuku's worth is hinged on the fact that he got a Quirk now and therefore can't be written off. Maybe he doesn't owe this to his accomplishments, but the narrative is terrible in its implications that Izuku wouldn't have gotten as much attention without it. At the end of the day, Katsuki is still associating Izuku's worth with his Quirk. And as much as I want to vaguely, vainly hope that this will change later on, I'm already at my limit
...and now that I've said my piece on almost the entire narrative thus far, let's shift gears to a few more tidbits in 285.
Again, the flashback. I think it's significant that they're shifting the focus briefly on middle school again. But you wanna know what sent me the wrong way? They didn't include the god forsaken suicide instigation. They can show Katsuki gloating. They can show Izuku up against a wall. They can even show a notebook and Izuku's face during the Sludge Villain rematch. But they can't show Izuku reacting with sorrow mixed with almost fury. That can't show Katsuki threatening him with a mere "What?" and the sparks on his palms. They can't show Izuku standing and crying, small and defeated.
"BUT HORI SAID HE WENT TO FAR WITH THAT SCENE!1!" Blah blah blah, doesn't change the fact that it still happened. Doesn't change the fact that it should be addressed, at any capacity. Doesn't change the fact that the story had the balls to recall middle school but couldn't bring itself to remember the one thing that could get its audience raising eyebrows.
But that's alright, it gave you the notebook; clearly it's done enough.
And maybe in another timeline, I could have let my jaw drop when Katsuki was hit and the chapter title was revealed. "Katsuki Bakugo: Rising" It would have been pretty damn powerful too.
...but with all the previous crap the narrative has pulled, it feels like more shoehorning. It feels like more Erasehead stepping in and shaming the audience. It feels like more All Might letting Katsuki in because he's not completely familiar with the finer details. It feels like more people. In narrative parroting that Katsuki changed when he does the bare minimum, as a hero or as a person. I can't treat this development legitimately, because so many other "legitimate" developments pulled a "psyche!" and headed out.
So, I'm done. I'm done with Katsuki, done with hoping his development will be done in a somewhat satisfying manner. Done with people telling me "it's actually good though!" like I'm blind and deaf or something, when I have enough brain cells to formulate my own opinions, and we both have enough brain cells to leave each other alone if we don't agree. Maybe when the series ends and we can all look at this in hindsight, and Katsuki has either found a way to redeem himself, or remain deplorable, I might talk about it then. But for now. I'm drawing the line. I might talk about what we've gotten up to this point, but everything past 285 I'm taking with a grain of salt. 'Cause I'm sick of hoping for something that obviously won't come through, and it's better for me and everyone involved if I just pack up and move on. BNHA isn't just Katsuki's story after all.
And if you made it to the end of all this… I hope you'll either respect my opinion, or respect my thought process. That's all I can ask.

HC: Going On A Disney Date
Pairing: Bakugou Katsuki x Reader, Kirishima Eijirou x Reader, Kaminari Denki x Reader, Todoroki Shouto x Reader, Midoriya Izuku x Reader
Warnings: None! Just fluffy goodness
Word Count: 1.9K
Summary: Just some headcanons on what spending a day at the parks would be like with your favorite boys. (btw, this is based on the Disney parks in Anaheim!)
A/N: S/O to the discord for indulging me in my Disney obsession :’D Fun fact, when I went to Disneyland for Halloween, I borrowed my friend’s Pikachu kigurumi so that I could lowkey cosplay as Denki LOL
Taglist: @jojosmilktea
♡ ⌒*゚.❉・゜・。. ♡ ⌒*゚.❉・゜・。. ♡ ⌒*゚.❉・゜
Tumblr media
BAKUGOU KATSUKI
You had to do so much convincing to get him to even go to one park, let alone two
Teases you and smirks saying, “Why do you want to go to some lame theme park? I’m all the fun you need, princess.” 
Bakugou ends up giving in to your begging because… how can he resist such a cute face? 
He is super whiny in the beginning, literally complaining about every little thing
“Why the fuck is all the shit here so damn expensive?”, “The lines are too fucking long!” 
Don’t even bother trying to get him to wear any kind of Mickey Ears either
He thinks it looks adorable on you though, not that he’d admit it 
However, after seeing how much fun you were having, he eases up a bit and begins to enjoy himself too
Actually, he ends up becoming more excited than you
Once you start getting tired from all the walking and constant queuing, he mocks you and says “What? You’re tired already? I could keep this up for hours!” 
His go-to pose for the ride photos is to flip off the camera
And yes, you guys end up buying a copy of all the pictures because he thinks it’s fucking hilarious
His favorite attraction to go on is Toy Story Midway Mania because he knows he’ll kick your ass and get a higher score than you; or Radiator Springs Racers, so he can win the race and kick other people’s ass 
Tumblr media
KIRISHIMA EIJIROU
He’s such a child at heart that he was actually the one who asked you to go to Disneyland
Had already bought the tickets in advance because he already knew you’d say yes. You felt kind of bad that he had to spend all that money for both of your tickets
“E-eji, are you sure you don’t want me to pay you back? These tickets must have been so expensive!” 
“Don’t worry about it babe, I’ve been saving my allowance to buy us these tickets. I wanted to take you out on a magical date at the happiest place on earth!” 
He really was the sweetest boyfriend
On the days leading up to your date, you two start planning out matching outfits, what rides you guys for sure want to go on, and all the new foods you can’t want to try! 
The night before, the two of you have a Disney movie marathon, snuggled up on the couch eating popcorn while watching all those childhood classics! 
His favorite movie is The Little Mermaid because where else did you think he got the inspiration to dye his hair red? Princess Ariel
Day of, you guys are BEYOND excited
Kirishima wakes up extra early to start getting ready, letting you get in a few more minutes of sleep
Once you get there, the first thing you both do is take a picture in front of Main Street! He pretty much documents your entire trip on his phone, taking candid photos of you being the cutie you were
He makes it his new lockscreen wallpaper
While he was waiting in line to buy some food, you went to the shop and bought a matching pair of Mickey and Minnie ears, wanting to surprise him
Smothered you in smooches because he was so happy you guys were matching head to toe, literally 
“Thanks babe! I’m never gonna take this off!” 
And he never took his ears off. He wore it all day. How it didn’t fall of his head was a question you had no answer to
You two were the definition of cringey couple; matching outfits, constant PDA
Not that he cared what other people thought. He was happy and you were happy, that’s all that mattered to him
Go-to ride pose is leaning over next to you, grabbing your entire face, and giving you a big kiss on the cheek 
Favorite ride is Hyperspace Mountain, loves the thrill of it plus, it makes his hair look extra spikey because the wind pushes it back up 
Tumblr media
KAMINARI DENKI
You guys are such kids, after you guys went the first time, you came back so often and ultimately decided that it would be better to buy annual passes
Your guy’s Disney trips were always very spontaneous, to say the least 
Kaminari would be like, “Hey babe, what if we go to Disneyland tomorrow?” 
“Come again? You want to go to Disneyland tomorrow?” 
“Yeah, why not? We haven’t been in awhile” He says, nonchalantly 
Giving in to his pouting, that’s how the two of you usually end up at the parks
You go so often you basically have a routine down
You two take turns doing everything; driving, paying for parking, paying for food, etc
During the drive there, you guys are singing non-stop. For some reason, he knows almost all the lyrics to every single song, making you wonder how he can memorize all those words and somehow still have no clue how to remember a simple math formula
You guys also try to Disney Bound (basically, it’s a lowkey cosplay) most of the time, but if not, you guys will always wear matching outfits
Unlike most people, he actually really enjoys wearing the Mickey ears, he thinks he looks extra cute in them. You agree
His ride pose often changes, from ‘hitting the woah’ to literally bringing a prop on the ride, he just does whatever he thinks is funny
But you often collaborate with each other while waiting in line to decide what pose you should do together; if no ideas come up, throwing up a peace sign is the standard move
Favorite ride to go on is Splash Mountain, hands down. He always asks to sit in the front. For some reason, he loves the feeling of getting absolutely fucking drenched
As a tradition, you two always make it your last ride of the night. Since it’s colder, there’s really not much of a wait, meaning you guys have an entire log to yourselves and can pretty much go on it as many times as your hearts desire 
Tumblr media
TODOROKI SHOUTO
You were aware that Todoroki had probably never been to Disneyland before, considering he spent most of his childhood training
So when you asked him if he’s ever actually gone to the parks, he was like, “Isn’t that the amusement park who has a rat as their mascot? His name is Mikey, right?”, “So, Elsa has an ice quirk too?” 
You swore that this boy would be the death of you
You were quick to educate him on all things Disney, telling him stories of when you were younger and how they were some of your fondest memories as a kid
Wanting your boyfriend to share the same experience as you, you eagerly suggested that the two of you must go together one day, and he seemed just as eager with his response
He said, “Okay then, let’s go this Saturday. It’s the weekend so we most likely won’t be busy anyways.”
“Uh Shouto, honey, I’d love to go but I’m pretty broke right now, tickets are expensive so it’ll probably take me a few weeks to save up for —“ you complained
He cut you off right there and says that he’ll pay for everything, whipping out Endeavor’s credit card 
Why did he have that on him??
Before you could protest and scold him for using someone else’s card, it was too late because he already bought them
Once in the parks, he seems to be quite fascinated by everything, but his focus tends to stay on you, watching how excited you get over every little thing
You guys get matching ears, but he’s not too keen on wearing them. At most, he’ll wear it for pictures, but that’s about it. But he also can’t help but admire how cute you look in them 
Buys you literally anything you want. Overpriced merchandise? Done. Overpriced food? You bet. Overpriced everything? Abso-fucking-lutely. Doesn’t care about the price, as long as you’re happy
Even if he doesn’t explicitly show it, he’s actually having a lot of fun! 
Being in such a magical place with his favorite person in the world makes him want to go back, reliving those childhood moments he didn’t really have
Inevitably, he ends up upgrading your tickets to an annual pass 
“You bought us annual passes?! Why did you do that, and when?!” 
“I did it on the app, while you were in that long line for the bathroom.” He said, feigning innocence
You two end up going at least twice a month, if not more. Pretty much going there to just hang out and walk around 
His poses for the rides aren’t really poses per se, it’s really just his poker face. Occasionally, you’ll pinch his cheeks to give a little flare to your photos 
Favorite ride is Soarin’ Around The World. He likes the visual appeal. Plus, the orange scent smells really good

MIDORIYA IZUKU
Both of you guys were equally excited to go! 
You two had planned to go for some time now, saving up enough money to buy tickets and acknowledging the fact that you guys would spend a lot on food and other things 
Izuku is such a nerd that he basically makes an entire schedule of your guy’s stay, morning until night
He grabs a copy of the park map and actually brings a pen to circle which rides you guys want to go on throughout the day
He will definitely download the app in order to keep track of wait times 
Plans for which rides you guys should go on first, taking into account the the events that people would be watching instead of waiting in lines, making the most of your time
“Okay, if the wait time for Radiator Springs Racers is 90 minutes, by the time we’re done, we should make it just in time to use our fastpass for Grizzly River Run…”
It kind of amazes you how articulate he was about this whole thing
“Wow, babe. I can’t believe you planned for all of that, I thought we were just going with the flow.” You said, teasing him for being such a nerd. How cute
His hero costume basically had bunny ears on them, so he didn’t complain about wearing the Mickey ears 
You two take lots of pictures, you guys even wait in that long line to take that cliché couple photo in front of Sleeping Beauty’s Castle
Go-to pose varies depending on the ride, usually the camera catches him by surprise, so in almost all of the pictures, he looks like he’s about to cry 
Doesn’t really have a favorite ride but his absolute favorite thing to do is to watch the fireworks towards the end of the night
He enjoys just sitting there and holding you close in his arms while you two watch the show and sing along to the music
