summary: bakugou accidentally confessed his love in front of all his classmates...

warnings: slight angst

word count: 2k

a/n: the long awaited part two!

masterlist

“you got it?”

bakugou was helping you with a particular math problem. he was sitting closer to you than usual now; his arm barely grazed your cheek as he pointed to the equation.

you were glad that bakugou was helping you study, but it seemed like you could never focus. no matter what — whether you drank energy drinks or took a nap beforehand — you always seemed to drift off into daydreams. & you couldn’t pinpoint why, but those dreams always had bakugou involved...

maybe it was just because you were hanging out with him more.

speaking of which, ever since that late night dinner, bakugou spent more & more time with you. sure, he was still an ass. but his company was nice.

he helped you with homework, he offered to cook with you, & he made horror movie nights less scary.

but no matter how much time you spent together, it seemed like you two never talked. at least not about anything real. everything you learned about bakugou was from kirishima & eavesdropped conversations.

after a brief summary of the homework, you were free from study hall. on your way back to your dorm, you bumped into mina & tsu.

“hey, y/n,” tsu waved.

“hey, guys,” you smiled and stopped, dropping your book bag on the floor.

“studying?” mina chimed in.

“yeah, i’ve been having some problems with math.” you laughed nervously. it was embarrassing for you to admit that you weren’t good at everything.

“& bakugou’s helping you with that?” the pink girl eyed you suspiciously. the amount of time you spent with the angry man gained you a lot of attention.

“i- yeah. he’s just explaining it in a different way than the teacher. & that seems to work.” you shrugged & picked your bag back up. you were tired & wanted to take a break.

“ooo~” mina clutched tsu’s arm. “bakugou,” she mimicked your voice. “help me with my homework, alone, in your room, for hours on end. don’t worry no one will find out~”

you rolled your eyes & started walking again. as you distanced yourself you yelled, “thanks, mina. it’s always a pleasure!”

once back in your dorm, you plopped on your bed. it was hard being around bakugou that long. it wasn’t because of how loud he was or how impatient he got while teaching. & it certainly wasn’t because of how tidy his room was or how he covered his bookshelf with a blanket. & it was most definitely not because of how he bit his lip while watching you scribble down numbers or how close he got while he showed you how to do something.

no, you scolded yourself. you can’t think like that. you & bakugou? it wouldn’t work. even if it did... no, stop!

that would be crazy, right? you were complete opposites. but maybe...

a few of your classmates did comment on how little bakugou teased you, & how you were able to quiet him down if he started to yell.

but bakugou was too invested in school & hero work to even think of being with someone. but then again, his room was stocked full of romance mangas & movies. did that mean anything, though?

you shook those thoughts from your mind & fell asleep. you had a dinner not-date with your friend bakugou later that evening.

a couple hours later, your eyes fluttered open. you were exhausted; your nap had not satisfied whatever tiredness enveloped you. but you were more hungry than anything.

checking your clock, you realized you were late to dinner. bakugou was going to kill you. so, you quickly got dressed & raced down the stairs. you were about to bound into the kitchen when you heard voices that didn’t belong to bakugou.

you had done a lot of eavesdropping lately, & you weren’t proud of it. but you couldn’t help it. so you stayed back in the shadows.

“another study date?” you heard denki laugh. “dude, how many is that?”

“yeah, it’s like you’re practically dating,” sero included himself.

“we’re not dating.” you recognized bakugou’s frustrated voice. “you two are idiots, just reading into everything.”

“why are you hanging out with her so much, anyway?”

“yeah, you cancelled on our arcade trip for that movie thing the other night.” denki’s voice kept getting louder & then quieter, as if he was pacing the room.

“yeah, what gives, baku?”

“well, i had to. she can’t fend for herself.”

“that doesn’t mean anything, & you know it. what’s this really about?” it surprised you how tough sero was being. & did bakugou really cancel time with his friends for you? maybe, just maybe, he did have space for a relationship...

“yeah! do you have a crush~?” denki made kissy noises, which got returned with a groan from bakugou.

“yeah right. i’m just doing it because i feel bad,” he said almost as if it was clear as day. “y’know, she’s in a new school & — sure she has some friends — but she’s kinda an outsider. i can’t believe you thought i liked her, boneheads.”

you clapped a hand over your mouth. you couldn’t believe what you were hearing. no, you must’ve heard wrong. there’s no way.

before anyone saw you or before you embarrassed yourself more than you already had, you bolted. you made a beeline for your room, & you weren’t planning on leaving anytime soon.

how stupid could you be? did you really think he’d like you?

the next morning was brutal. halfway through getting ready, you started to cry. this forced you to start all over, making your routine seem dreadfully long. you wished you could just wear something comfortable instead of your uniform, but you begrudgingly slipped on your skirt & button up.

you walked down the hallways silently, only smiling at your classmates. you decided to opt out of conversations for today. you also made the decision of standing up for yourself if bakugou were to question you about last night. you’d rather create a scene than act like a fool any longer.

when you neared your classroom, you noticed that bakugou was walked toward you from the opposite direction. you briefly made eye contact before rushing to the door. but before you could get to your seat, a familiar hand grabbed your wrist.

“where were you last night?” bakugou turned your around. “i waited for like an hour & had to eat by myself. you could have at least called.”

okay, now was your chance. you had to stand up for yourself!

“why would i spend time with someone who doesn’t want to spend time with me?” you ripped your arm from his grasp. only now did you realize how close he was to you. you could see the faint bags under his eyes. did he even sleep last night?

“what are you talking about?”

“i heard what you said to denki & sero.” you crossed your arms.

“they told you?” his eyes lit up.

“no, they didn’t. & even if they had, this would still be on you!” you pointed your finger in bakugou’s face, which he quickly slapped away.

“are you stupid?!”

“how am i stupid?”

you noticed that the entire class was staring at you. your face felt hot, and you decided to let it be. if he wanted to argue, he’d have to catch you after class.

you turned around & headed for your seat. before you got there; however, bakugou called out your name.

“y/n!”

you whipped around. why was he bringing more attention to you?

“you’re so stupid!”

great, this is embarrassing.

“you don’t get it?” bakugou’s voice cracked.

what?

“i’m in love with you stupid!”

the class collectively gasped, as if they were watching a soap opera.

“wh-“

“why would i waste my time with you if i didn’t like you?! why would i buy your favorite snacks & waste money on you if i hated you?! why would i remember little things about you if i felt bad for you?! huh?! are you that naive & dense!?”

“wh- why’d you say those things to denki & sero then?”

all of bakugou’s words made you melt. sure, they were screamed and layered in frustration. but he was confessing his love!

but you couldn’t give up now. you could not make a fool of yourself. bakugou had to redeem himself.

“oh my lord! you’re dumb!” he ran a hand over his face & groaned. “if i told those idiots, the entire school would know within two seconds! i wanted to tell you! i wanted to! no one was going to do it for me!”

so it was true? all those shared laughs over snacks were real? every conversation during dinner meant something to him? everytime you lifted your test to show him your score across the room, he was actually proud? he stared at you because he liked you, not because “you had something in your hair”?

“you- it’s all true?” you faltered.

katsuki bakugou was confessing his love to you?

“of course it is!” he shot the class an evil glare, making each of the students look away, as if they had other things to do. “so, what? you’re not gonna say it back?”

the end.

emotions

»»——— eijirio kirishima x reader

summary: the times you expressed all four emotions (happiness, sadness, fear, anger) with kirishima, & the one time you realized your best friend was the love of your life...

warnings: slight angst

a/n: skida! part two is coming soon!!! don’t worry!!!

masterlist

happiness:

“i hope they have it,” you wished aloud as you entered the convenient store.

kirishima walked a little ahead of you, beating you to opening the door. he had offered to walk you, & you politely declined. but he convinced you by saying something about “everyone needs a buddy” & “a buddy — at the very least — makes things less quiet”. so you agreed. & now you had someone to tease & laugh with on the way home.

“what?” kirishima followed you as you walked past the cashier & isles of snacks.

“my peach iced tea!” you exclaimed as you neared the refrigerated section.

“peach tea? don’t they sell those almost everywhere?” kirishima asked after he caught up with you. “& why are you walking so fast?”

“i’m excited!” you spun around as you walked. & like it was contagious, kirishima joined in with your laughter. “plus,” you continued. “it’s a certain brand. i can never find it anywhere.”

“well, let me know if you do. i’ll be in the snack isle,” he pointed to the beef jerky & chip section. you nodded & then focused on your mission. you were going to get your iced tea.

after a few moments of scanning the many drinks, you finally found it. the glorious pink can. it was just how you remembered. the pastel pink stood out among the drab colors of surrounding bottles, & the words “peace tea - peach flavored” yelled in bold lettering.

you gasped. this store — which was only a block away from ua — had your favorite drink this entire time?!

your exclaimation caught kirishima’s attention. his head poked out from the shelves & he waddled over. when you finally saw his whole body, you noticed that his hands were full of jerky & pringle’s.

“i found it!” you smiled with your mouth wide open, & you hugged the can with your cheek. it’s condensation cooled your skin. “here feel.”

you grabbed one of kirishima’s hands & pressed it to your face.

“ouch!” he ripped his hand back & resituated his snacks. “too cold!”

“hey!” you pouted. “that was warm!”

“c’mon, cutie, let’s go check out.”

sadness:

today was not your day.

the amounts of schoolwork piled up on your desk. sure, becoming a hero was fun, but it didn’t excuse you from calculus and english class. & it didn’t help that you couldn’t understand anything the teacher was saying.

& your bed was covered in laundry that long needed to be folded. so now, you couldn’t even lay in your own bed.

on top of chores & school, your parents had called nonstop for a week. they bugged you about grades & scores & hero internships. not one word of praise or love.

it was all exhausting & too much.

you had been sitting at your desk for what was now hours. checking your phone, you saw that it was already 9:00p.

already? you thought. my last break was during dinner.

you need to escape. tears pooled your eyes as the stress came crashing down on you. you still had hours of work, & you couldn’t crawl into bed & ignore it. but you needed a break.

so you pushed yourself away from your desk and left your dorm for the common area. it should have been empty, but when you walked in, bakugou & kirishima were eating snacks.

you quickly swiped the remaining tears from your cheeks & walked past them. you were thankful for the dim lighting.

you passed the kitchen & entered the living room. you situated yourself into the couch & reached for the remote. but nothing sounded good; you just kept looking through movies upon movies.

you huffed.

the sound of dishes clanking together mixed with fading footsteps. they must have gone to bed...

tears welled up. even when you were away from everything, you were still stressed. it wasn’t even finals either.

as you groaned, a head popped out from behind the couch. it hovered over yours. when you looked up, kirishima’s face was upside-down.

“you okay?” he asked.

that was it. the last straw. the tears kept coming and coming. you buried your eyes in your hands & begged for it to stop. kirishima was immediately by your side. he reached an arm over you & pulled you in. his warmth was comforting & it distracted you for a second.

“what happened?” his voice was soft. you always thought that was ironic. his quirk was hardening, but he was always soft.

when you moved your hands, you saw that kirishima was also crying. this made you want to cry even more.

“why are you crying?” you asked & wiped one of his tears.

“because you are.”

you smiled & hugged him. you could always rely on kirishima. he was your best friend. nothing could change that.

fear:

it was dark & cold.

the cold crept up your neck & made your teeth chatter.

you kept reaching out for something — anything. but once you did, you felt on your knees. you could hear them crack under your weight. it was agonizing.

a deep voice was surrounding you. it was laughing at you; taunting you. it was also familiar.

it was him...

his eyes glowed in the pitch black. they drew nearer & nearer. you could hear his breath get closer & closer & closer...

you bolted upright. you were covered in a cold sweat, and you noticed all your pillows & blankets had been tossed to the floor.

this had been happening a lot recently. ever since the incident at usj, nightmares had taken over your sleep. the thought of that man’s hands scared you beyond anything.

& before you could think anymore, you made your way out the door. you didn’t even bother to put on shoes. you snuck through the dorm & into the hallway.

it was a short walk to the boys’ dorms.

you had only made this trip once before, so you weren’t totally confident in not being caught. but luckily, you made it to the door you were searching for.

you quietly opening it & slipped inside. you maneuvered across the floor. it was too dark to see, so you held your hands out in front of you.

“oww!” you cried. you held your toe & whimpered.

“huh?” kirishima’s voice rung throughout the previously silent room. his bedside light clicked on; the brightness momentarily blinded you. you looked down & realized you had stubbed your toe on a weight. “y/n? whadder you doing here? what time is it?”

“i had a nightmare,” you said, embarrassed. it was like you were five years old. “can i sleep in here tonight?”

“of course.” kirishima opened his blankets & scooted over. “c’mere.”

you shuffled into his bed. it was warm & everything smelled like him. it was so nice.

after getting comfortable, you switched the light off.

“i’m actually kinda glad you’re here,” kirishima whispered.

“me too.”

a few moments passed.

“you make me feel safe,” you commented & snuggled closer to your friend.

“i’m glad.”

anger:

“YOURE SO SELFISH!”

you had been screaming through the phone for what seemed like hours. your voice was hoarse & your legs were tired from you pacing about the living room.

luckily, everyone was out today. so you were able to scream without anyone being disturbed.

“IM SELFISH? HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING TO YOURSELF?”

you didn’t know how it got this bad.

this was one of your closest friends. & now she was your worst enemy. the reason for the argument was long buried underneath horrible namecalling & profanities. both of you brought up points that were wrong & could never be forgiven.

“hey, i was gonna touch up my roots an-“

a certain red-headed man stopped dead in his tracks. he had walked right into a screaming match. he’d never seen you this angry. sure, you’ve yelled at denki & bakugou. but those times couldn’t compare to now.

“YOURE THE WORST!”

“I HATE YOU!”

you stopped.

she hated you? no, that’s not right. this was the woman who was going to be at your wedding, the girl who always had your back.

the fight had gotten bad, but this? this was beyond anything you could’ve imagined.

without replying, you hung up & threw your phone into the couch as hard as possible. you huffed & ran your hands over your face.

“y/n?” kirishima ventured further into the living room. “what happened?”

angrily & resentfully, you managed to explain how you & your friend had started to fight. you told him all what was said. you thought talking about it would make you calm down, but it only fired you up.

“why don’t we take a walk?” kirishima suggested.

“don’t wanna.”

“workout?”

“too tired.”

he had been sitting on the couch, watching you pace as you retold the story. but now, he got up & wrapped you in his arms.

“let go-“ you wiggled in his arms & noticed that he used his quirk to keep you in place. “stop! kiri, i swear. i don’t wanna be hugged right now!”

but he stayed silent. he just held you closer, in fact. & as if it flipped a switch in your brain, you slowed down. your breathing calmed, your mind stopped buzzing, & the need to keep moving stopped.

“wh-“

“i know you, y/n.” he rested his chin on the crown of your head. “i know what you need without you having to say anything.”

love:

the teasing from your class had gotten worse over the past two months. your classmates had always joked about you & kirishima, but ever since denki found out you snuck into kirishima’s dorm, it grew substantially.

but you ignored it. there was nothing between you two... right?

okay, so you tried to ignore it.

but ever since the fight with your now ex-friend, something changed. the words of your friends invaded your mind.

“don’t you see the way he looks at you?” jirio’s voice echoed in your head.

his eyes softened sure, but didn’t all friends’?

but the more you thought about it, maybe it wasn’t normal.

you noticed how his eyes wandered to your lips, which made your cheeks heat up. & you remembered how he once bit his lip while listening to you ramble. even thinking back on it made you flustered.

“you smile whenever his name is mentioned!” ochaco had commented once.

you thought back.

whenever bakugou mentioned that kirishima was tagging along, your heart did skip a beat. but it was because he was your best friend.

just your best friend. nothing more.

“don’t you ever want to be more than that though?” tsu asked a while ago.

yeah, you thought about it while you were cuddle up with him in his bed. but you never made a move. he was a friend.

oh my god, you thought to yourself. i’m in love with my friend.

you laid in bed, staring at the ceiling. now what?

you sat up & hung your legs over the side. you clicked your heels together, thinking.

you didn’t want to ruin the friendship you had. but he had these feelings too right? everyone said so. hell, you even took notice. you can’t just keep this bottled up. you saw too many romance movies with this plot. it never ended good.

so you ran out of the room.

you were going to find kirishima. you were going to confess to your best friend.

you looked through the kitchen & living room & didn’t see him. you ran through hall after hall. but not once did you see him. where was he?

the sun was setting, & the school was now covered in an orange hue. you were on your way back to your room. you had been looking for at least a half an hour & nothing.

as you turned a corner, you bumped into something hard.

“ouch!” you looked up at what smacked into you.

it was him.

“oh thank goodness i found you!” he exclaimed & grabbed you by the arms. “i’ve been trying to find you for like an hour!”

“i- i’ve been looking for you, too.”

“i need to tell you something... something really important.”

“me too.” your nerves were building up. what if he said no? would it go back to normal? would there be a wall between you two after this?

“i realized something today,” he began.

“i did, too. ... kiri, i think i-“

“IM IN LOVE WITH YOU, Y/N!” he yelled. it came out so fast that you thought you misheard it. “i love you.”

generations ago

»»——— sokka x reader

summary: as sokka & you grew older, your adventures piled & piled. now, when your grandchildren ask questions, you are able to relive your younger days...

warnings: mentions of fighting & injuries; mentions of legend of korra (so if you haven’t watched, don’t read!)

word count: 900

a/n: hiii! okay, the italics are the flashback!!! so this is an anon request (& a super cute one, too!) of course in this fic, sokka did not die in his fourties/fifties. there are a few mentions of the flashbacks in legend of korra!

»»——— masterlist

the screams & laugher of your grandchildren now filled your normally quiet home. as you fixed a plate of cookies & tea, you heard the pattering of little feet approaching.

“grandma!”

you turned your attention to the little monster below you. he was grabbing at your robes with puppy-dog eyes.

“what is it, dear?” you placed a hand on tio’s head.

“tell overlord sokka to play with me~”

you rolled your eyes, picked up the little boy, & made your way into the living room. your husband sat on the floor, entertaining your granddaughter with a handmade puppet.

“sokka,” you placed a hand on your hip; the other still holding up tio. “how many times have i told you to not make the kids call you ‘overlord’?”

“i have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“no, you did say th-“

just as your granddaughter was about to speak, sokka slapped a hand over her mouth. he gave a large apologetic smile. you could see his younger self underneath the wrinkles & freckles. his new sunburn from working in the garden gave him a slight pink glow.

the hand slapped over neena’s mouth was also speckled with sunspots. but it was just as strong as it was when you were younger. you always told him to slow down, but he never wanted to be a “fragile old man”.

sokka was still as handsome as he was when you met. & now the streak of white in his long wolftail added to that.

“mhm,” you hummed & placed tio on the floor.

“grandma! grandma!” neena pushed away from sokka & ran for you. “grandpa won’t tell us the story behind that picture!”

you followed her little finger to see which photo she was talking about. on the wall, a small portrait of aang & sokka hung. they looked to be about twenty, & as you stared, that day came back to you.

“oh, you wanna know about grandpa & avatar aang?” you smiled. before starting the story, though, you looked at your husband. you knew talking about aang hurt him, but he nodded, silently telling you to continue.

“well, i hadn’t met grandpa yet, but aang & your grandpa were friends since he was fourteen,” you said as you took a seat next to your grandkids. “& that day was aang’s birthday. the five of us — me, grandpa, aang, aunt katara, and toph — went out to celebrate. as a joke, your grandfather dressed up as an old man & handed aang his present. it was a little trinket from the southern water tribe; a reminder of how aang & katara met.”

“a little penguin,” sokka chimed in. he smiled but kept his eyes on the floor.

“so then he & aang just talked about their childhood for the rest of the night, ignoring the rest of us.” you chuckled & remembered how irritated toph had been.

“grandpa?” tio crawled across the rug to sokka & laid in his lap. “how’d you meet grandma?”

“oh, i dunno... grandma tells it better.”

“c’mon sokka, i already told a story. it’s your turn,” you teased.

“oh, fine.” he crossed his arms. “ahem. so, of course this was after we save the world.” he paused, as if he was waiting for an applause. “anyway, everything was getting back to normal. aang & katara got married & were now rubbing it in everyone’s faces. & toph — who was supposed to be my friend! — met some guy.

“so, i was wandering around in the fire nation, alone. i was trying to see zuko, but of course he was busy.” the irritation was still fresh in his voice, even though 40 years had passed. it made you smile.

“& i was just walking around the city & then your grandma runs right into me.”

“oh my goodness. i’m so sorry!” you exclaimed. “are you okay?”

“hey! watch where you’re goi-“ sokka stopped when he looked at you.

“what was i supposed to do?” your husband interrupted himself. “she was so pretty!”

“oh no... you’re sokka, from the southern water tribe. oh, i’m so so sorry! are you okay?” you held him by the shoulders & examined him.

“umm, y-yeah. i’m okay. are you okay?”

“yeah, i was just in a rush. i’m still so sorry!”

“it’s okay, really.”

“i couldn’t concentrate! i didn’t know what else to say!”

“you’re very pretty.”

“o-oh, thank you,” you smiled.

you thought for a moment before continuing.

“hey, i was about to go to a restaurant with my friends. do you wanna join me?”

“& that was that.” sokka sat up straight, proud of his storytelling skills.

“yep. the rest is history,” you smiled & got up.

you walked over to your husband & placed a kiss on his head. you two always joked about being that old couple who said things like “the rest is history” & who made their grandchildren gag.

this is exactly what you were hoping for when you asked sokka to join you for lunch all those years ago.

»»——— part one

summary: bakugou accidentally confessed his love in front of all his classmates...

word count: 1.5k

warnings: cursing

a/n: requests are open! also, the reader’s quirk is not stated, just that it’s a physical one. so it’s up to your imagination!

»»——— masterlist

what was worse:

starting at a new school? or starting in the middle of the semester?

you had heard so many good things about UA, & — with a physical quirk like yours — you were easily accepted (although, it didn’t hurt that your parents had connections with one of the top hero agencies).

but besides the actual hero training you’d received, it wasn’t much different from a normal high school. kids had formed rigid friend groups, which never really changed unless a fight broke out.

so there you were, in the doorway of class 1-A. you noticed that the teacher had not yet arrived. which explained the complete anarchy that took place inbetween desks.

a group of boys were standing around laughing, while the girls tended to migrate to the other side of the room. the rest of the students were already in their seats.

you recognized a few from tv, while others’ faces blended together. kirishima stood out, with his red hair. as did denki, midoriya, & bakugou.

bakugou stood out for a different reason, though. it wasn’t his hair or his quirk. it was that he sat away from the disruptions. you had seen how wild & loud he was during the sports festival, which made you naturally think to stay away. but now he was reserved. a scowl stayed planted on his face.

walking past the group of girls chatting, you went to the opposite side of the classroom. because everyone was out of their seats, you didn’t know which were occupied. so you had to stand at the front, like you were in first grade, waiting to get introduced.

and unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened. a tall, tired man (who you remembered to be the famous eraserhead) entered the room. when he did, the students naturally filed into place & quieted down.

“class, before we get started today, we have a new student: y/n y/l/n.” he turned to you. “you can sit in front of katsuki bakugou. there’s an open desk.”

as you took your seat, you noticed that all of the students’ eyes had widened. later, you would find out that bakugou sat in the front for a reason, & that he despised having you in front of him.

besides a few other hiccups, your first week went well. more & more of your classmates talked to you, & soon, you had more friends than you had in previous schools. because of this, you were in the middle of the two main groups of the class.

urakara & midoryia were the first to strike up a conversation with you. they had been encouraging & friendly. however, kirishima & mina also took to your liking. they teased & included you in inside jokes & pranks. both parties saved you from a lonesome lunch.

so now your time was split. one day you’d hang out with midoryia’s group. the next was spent laughing with bakugou’s.

even though you were now a part of his group, it didn’t mean that he was your friend. it actually seemed like he hated you. it was nonstop yelling & cursing. you even started to think that you did something wrong.

kirishima assured you that’s how bakugou makes friends, but this was too harsh to just be teasing.

but then you overheard a conversation you were supposed to never hear.

“why’s katsuki so quiet?” you noticed denki’s voice as you walked past the common room. it was getting late, so you were on your way to your dorm to get some well-deserved sleep.

“i think it’s his family again. y’know how they are. & now that midterm grades are coming up, he’s more stressed,” kirishima said. neither of them noticed you, so you creeped behind the wall. “i feel so bad. he’s such a great student & guy... there’s just so much pressure on him.”

“yeah, he’s always gotta be number one.”

“did he ever tell you why he’s always so cranky?” kiri’s voice lowered. you knew that you should keep walking, but you just couldn’t stop listening.

“no,” denki replied. you thought you heard him get up from the couch, making you flinch. but he was wrestling with a pillow.

“well, he’s always been praised for his quirk. so he never got to work on himself, like his personality. so he thinks everyone likes him for this amazing quirk. & don’t get me wrong, it is an amazing quirk. but he’s disappointed when he makes one little mistake... it took me months for him to finally open up to me, so don’t let on that i told you this.”

“got it, boss,” the yellow-haired man laughed & the conversation died down. only now did you walk away.

so that’s why bakugou hated when you appeared in class? because you sat in front of him? one little thing like that can set him off?

a bubble of guilt rose in your chest. you screamed in your head how bakugou was “the worst” & that he should “go away & not bother anyone”.

his own parents & friends did this? made him a mess of pride & shame? was all he wanted just a friend who liked him for him?

from that night on, you vowed that you wouldn’t leave katsuki bakugou alone. even if he tried to kill you.

you started to greet him in the mornings, which always resulted in a groan. you also offered to spar against him, even though he kicked your ass every time.

“why do you keep trying?! you lost already! go fail against someone else!” he’d say after almost every match.

you also made it a point to stay in the kitchen after dinner. you noticed a month into your stay that bakugou ate dinner almost an hour after everyone else. 7:30 sharp. & so you forced your stomach to wait.

“what are you doing here?” bakugou asked as he sauntered into the kitchen. “didn’t you already eat?”

“no, i was too busy studying,” you lied. how else was bakugou going to let you stay?

“what? you’re trying to tell me to study more?! worry about your own damn self. i’m going to get top marks!” bakugou smirked as he swung open the fridge.

“no, i just didn’t have time earlier. so i’m trying to catch up before dinner. i guess i lost track of time.”

“you’re not gonna cook?”

you watched as bakugou set a few ingredients on the counter. he rummaged through the kitchen grabbing pots & forks & plates.

“i don’t really know how to make a whole lot,” you shrugged. “i was just gonna have cereal or a bar or something.”

you walked to the refrigerator. as you were about to open it, bakugou’s arm blocked you.

“excuse me, i’m hungry.”

“you can’t eat that bullshit for dinner. are you crazy?” you eyed him, waiting for the solution to your hunger. “just have what i’m having, baka.”

what? did bakugou — katsuki bakugou — just offer to make you dinner? this was the last thing you expected.

“sit down.”

you watched how easily he tossed & mixed the food. you even noticed how gentle he was while he cooked. his face had softened, and... was he humming?

“what song is that?” you asked.

“i dunno what you’re talking about.”

after a few minutes, bakugou set down two plates on the counter. they were full of delicious looking food. it made your mouth water. the chef stayed opposite of you. and you two began to eat. the dinner was silent, but it was overwhelmingly amazing.

“bakugou?”

his fork stopped halfway on the way up to his mouth.

“can’t you see i’m eating?” he took the bite & continued to ignore you.

“can i ask you something?”

“you just did.”

you huffed. but you weren’t going to give up. you were going to fight through this conversation. you were going to be this man’s friend.

“would you mind helping me study?”

another lie.

you already had a plan set out for your exams. you were actually ahead of your schedule. you just wanted to take some of that stress kiri had mentioned away.

“why would i do that?” bakugou looked at you for the first time since you started eating. maybe it was the lighting but you could’ve sworn his ears turned red.

“c’mon, please~” you gave your best puppy dog eyes. “you already know i’m not going to place above you.”

& that was true. before you even step foot in UA, you heard how smart bakugou was. he wasn’t just brawn. & you were smart, but it was just that he worked double, maybe even triple.

“ugh. fine.” he rolled his eyes & went to place his dishes in the sink. “but no more favors. i’m not sharing my food anymore.”

but that was a lie.

༅ this boy is actually a 60-year-old man

༅ he never leaves the house except to go on walks, workout with aizawa, & get food

༅ he has mandatory nap times

༅ & he practically traps you when the two of you are cuddling

༅ & he only tells awful jokes

༅ sure, he’s cute & you love him

༅ but oh my lord!

༅ you have to FORCE him to go out for a date

༅ “c’mon~ we haven’t gone out to eat forever!”

༅ “but... i thought that we could dine in tonight.”

༅ (-_-)

༅ when you agreed to move in with each other, you had to put a limit on how many pets he could bring home

༅ shinsou is a weird mix of confident & insecure

༅ like he trusts you & doesn’t get jealous

༅ but he needs you to reassure him that you love him every day (not that he doesn’t believe you)

༅ shinsou is always telling you how lucky he is

༅ “how’d i get girl as amazing as you, huh?”

༅ with that whole confidence thing, he doesn’t mind pda

༅ he gives you periodic head and hand kisses

༅ when it’s cold outside, he has this habit of wrapping you in his scarf

༅ this man is either sleeping 24/7 or avoiding sleep for three days straight

༅ & there’s no inbetween

༅ so you have to either force him out of bed with coffee & kisses or you have to force in bed with cuddles

༅ shinsou loves you too much

fighting with bakugou headcanons

a/n: i LOVE this man ((requests are open!!!))

»»——— masterlist

༅ so your first fight with bakugou was intense

༅ you both were screaming at the top of your lungs & then bakugou said something he didn’t mean

༅ it made you stop dead in your tracks

༅ you bawled & locked him out of your bedroom

༅ of course, you two made up (bakugou picked out a rom-com & all you’d favorite snacks later that night)

༅ so after that, bakugou has never raised his voice at you (not that loud, anyways) like that

༅ he realized how impactful his voice & words are

༅ so whenever he’s mad, he doesn’t speak but just leans on you or rips your hand away from whatever you’re doing to hold it

༅ because he’s super clingy

༅ but if you bring it up, he’ll kill you

༅ also, if you bring up the fact that he’s a hopeless romantic, he will murder you

༅ so those little big secrets are kept between the two of you

༅ if you’re upset for whatever reason, bakugou will pick out a romantic movie (he’s got an entire collection), make the living room super cozy with lights & pillows, & he will get you/make you your favorite snacks

༅ because he’s read so many romance mangas, his head is chalked full of ideas (so he can practically stop you from being mad at him at any point)

༅ bakugou — through your relationship — is not afraid to tell you he loves you anymore

༅ he’s better with any other love language, but he’s getting there

༅ so he’ll yell “I LOVE YOU” through a locked door or down a hallway if you two are fighting

༅ this boy will not give up

༅ sure, he might need a few minutes to calm down a bit, but he’s never letting you go

༅ “i thought you were leaving...”

“you don’t feel that? how dense are you?”

he lifts his hand slightly, taking pressure off of your knuckles. but you hold yours in place.

“i- i feel your heartbeat... & it- it’s very fast.”

suddenly, bakugou grabs your wrist. in reaction, your hand lifts off his chest. the warmth slowly fades; your palm gets colder.

“took you long enough to figure it out. i gave an absurd amount of hints.”

i don’t know you anymore

»»——— sokka x firebender!reader

summary: after being a part of the gaang for a few weeks, you’ve kept your secret hidden the best you could. but during one especially difficult fight, you couldn’t help but let it out. how does sokka — the boy who’s absolutely smitten over you — react?

warnings: angst

word count: 1k

a/n: requests are open!

»»——— masterlist

you had been walking through a small earth village with sokka & aang when you heard katara scream. you three were headed back to appa, with handfuls of food & supplies. katara had stayed back because she had been talking to an old woman about the horrible state of the village.

as soon as he heard the scream, aang dropped the things in his hands. a small box cracked open as it hit the dirt. you had never seen him run so fast.

sokka & you shared a look before you followed aang’s trail. as you ran you reminded yourself not to slip up.

“watch out!” sokka pulled you by the arm. while thinking, you almost ran straight into a tree stump. “you gotta be careful, y/n.”

you watched as he reached behind him, grabbing his trusty boomerang. the determination in his eyes inspired you. whenever you watched sokka fight, you felt a sense of pride. it made you want to get up & do something. that’s one thing you really appreciated about sokka, along with a million others.

“look!” sokka pointed to two firebenders who had surrounded aang & katara. katara’s attacks against the soldiers were pointless, & aang’s bursts of air only pushed them back a couple inches.

“hey!” you yelled, trying to grab their attention.

when they turned around, you realized how big they really were. they stood about a foot taller than you & sokka, & their muscles practically burst out of their armor.

the soldier on the left released a steam of fire directed at sokka’s feet. luckily, sokka noticed the man’s hand raise. he jumped just in time & proceeded to throw his boomerang. it spun past the man’s head, making him chuckle.

sokka stood taller & crossed his arms. a whipping sound grew louder & the soldier was knocked forward. his head fell low. his feet tripped over themselves & the man fell flat on his face.

“sokka never misses!” he yelled, pointing toward the fallen soldier.

you cut off sokka’s victory dance, “umm, we still have one more guy.” you pointed to the soldier on the right who had — midway through sokka’s boomerang throw — turned back to aang & katara.

“o-oh right. of course. i knew that.”

you got katara’s attention with a small whistle. you nodded to the man laying on the ground, motioning for her to switch.

katara twisted the water she currently held around the soldier, binding him from attacking. aang, however, blew him off his feet with a small gust of wind. with one subdued, you & sokka only had to take care one more.

“well, are you gonna attack or what?” sokka poked at the man, which made you shake your head. he’s way to confident in battles...

with that, the soldier lifted his hands & let a stream of fire out. you & sokka had to jump out of the way. while you two were still on the ground, the man lifted his leg, ready to kick flames toward sokka. sokka was to stunned to react, so you had to do something quick.

you can’t let it out, you told yourself. but as many times as you said that, it didn’t stick. sokka could not get hurt.

you leaped in front of sokka as the soldier pushed the fire out. you felt the heat approaching you, & your hands became sweaty. it’s been a while. instinctively, your arms lifted to shoulder-level. you extended your hands, as if you were reaching for the fire.

you heard sokka yell something, but you didn’t register it. you were focused on the ball of fire in front of you. as it neared, you adjusted your feet. your left slid a little to the right, & your right pointed forward.

a strand of hair came out of its place. you ignored it, keeping it out of your focus. you felt the flames envelop your hands. it evapored any sweat that beaded on your palms.

taking a deep breath in, you twisted your hands. you created a small sphere with you hands, controlling the fire. you spun it two times & redirected it to the ground on your right.

then, you blasted fire from your fist. because you had the element of surprise, the soldier had no time to react. you struck his helmet, pushing him backward. you watched his figure, seeing if he’d get back up. but remained in the dirt.

you smiled at your little victory. it had been a while since you last firebended, & it felt good. but this was short lived.

you turned around, hoping to celebrate this with your team. but when you saw their faces, there was only expressions of fear & surprise.

katara stepped behind aang, who furrowed his brow. sokka, who had now scrambled to his feet, looked beyond shocked. his jaw hung open.

“y-you’re a firebender...” katara’s voice was quiet behind aang’s shoulder.

“well-“

“why didn’t you tell us?” her voice got louder with each sentence.

“erm, well-“

“where you planning something?” aang spoke up. “are you really on our side?”

while katara’s voice became hostile, aang’s was full of sadness. your friends now thought you were a traitor.

“let me explain...”

katara scoffed & walked off. aang took a moment & then followed her.

“sokka... let me explain, please?”

“why did you lie to me?” he said this without looking at you. & then he slowly walked in the direction of his sister.

tears pooled in your eyes. this is what you were trying to avoid. you knew how the fire nation had treated all three of your friends, so you didn’t want to break the trust that had blossomed. they welcomed you wholeheartedly when you first met. they let you travel with them, letting you leave that awful fire nation base.

how were you going to change this?

about an hour later, you went to go find your friends. if you could even call them that now. you felt as though you should give them some time to process before chasing after them.

when you arrived where appa had landed, he was still laying there. momo was nestled on top of his head, but he rose when you approached.

this grabbed the gaang’s attention. katara & aang sat up in the saddle. they shot you a nasty glare. meanwhile, sokka leaned against appa’s side, seemingly taking a nap.

“can i please explain?” you shuffled your feet. “even if you don’t take me back... can i please explain?”

“how could you possibly expla-“

“wait, katara,” aang interrupted. “maybe we should hear her out.”

she huffed but ultimately agreed.

you began to explain your situation, of how you were thinking of them. you didn’t want to create mistrust, but you wanted them to not be afraid of you.

“how are you any better than the fire nation?” katara shot.

it hurt, but she was right. you hated how the fire nation lied, while you did the exact same thing.

“i’m so sorry, you guys. i truly am.”

“it’s okay, y/n,” aang hopped off the saddle & stood in front of you. “you had the best intentions at heart. you were trying to protect us.”

he waved katara over, encouraging her to forgive you. she walked to you & pulled you into a hug.

“you’re still my friend, no matter what.”

“thank you, katara.” you squeezed her harder.

the three of you looked over to sokka, who didn’t move.

“sokka?” you asked, walking over to him.

he popped one eye open, looking up at you.

he slowly got to his feet, still not making eye contact. you sighed. maybe the one person’s respect you wanted the most, you wouldn’t be able to get back. you had grown so attached to sokka over the past few weeks, it was hard for you to see your life without him.

suddenly, he grabbed you by the arms & pulled you into a deep hug. his arms wrapped around your neck & shoulders, your face was now pushed into his chest. startled, it took you a second to hug him back. it was so warm & comforting.

“this is our first hug,” you remarked, not knowing what to say.

“shush. i’m trying to hug you.”

“sokka... i’m sor-“

“i don’t care. just... next time you do something stupid like that, don’t wait so long to come back. i thought you had left.”

word count: 3k

warnings: violence + swearing, guns, mentions of stalking & intrusive thoughts, & of course lots of angst

a/n: there will not be a second part to this fic! i’m sorry if that disappoints you, but this is meant to be angsty. also, i am trying to get to requests as fast as possible! i promise!

»»——— masterlist

how dare they let a evil killing machine on the team... do they even realize what kind of mistake they are making?! perhaps he’s brainwashed them, forced them into it.

don’t worry, avengers. i’ll save you...

༅ ~

for the past two weeks, you had felt a pair of eyes on you. everywhere you went, the feeling of being watched hung over you like a cloud. even walking into the avengers tower felt like an ordeal, like the paparazzi were nearby.

eventually, you thought it might not be just a feeling. you started to feel uneasy & unsafe. so you told your teammates. a few told you to shrug it off; maybe a fan was too afraid to ask for an autograph or picture. but your best friend & boyfriend knew better.

natasha was the first you had told. on the first day of this extravaganza, you mentioned your gut feeling to your friend over a glass of wine. she had guessed it was a fan, like steve & tony suggested. but once this reached the seven day point, she wondered if it was safe for you to go out alone.

sure, you were a kickass spy who worked with the avengers. but you knew your limits. & if this wasn’t just a little kid, you could be up against multiple opponents. you were strong & agile, but in a situation like that, you’d need backup.

after the first week, you decided it was time to let your boyfriend know. you wondered if it was even a good idea, telling him. he’d always been paranoid about this kind of thing. would this just pointlessly worry him?

you pushed that aside; however, because you were starting to get seriously creeped out. someone watching your every move?! who’d want to see what kind of vegetable you picked up from the grocery store, or what route you had taken to your favorite bakery?

so one day after work, after the heros retired to their separate floors, you approached your boyfriend. he complained about his exhausting day, making you doubt your decision once again.

yet, once again, you pushed past it. he needed to know. & you told him plain & simple: “i think i’m being watched & followed.”

after that little sentence, the super soldier unleashed all his feelings. his built up anger & fear & sadness & stress all jumbled together in one collective “WHAT?!”.

since you two had started dating, bucky tried to be vocal about his insecurities & worries about the both of you being heros, but it was hard for him. he didn’t want to nag you about being safe because it annoyed you, even though you knew he thought you were capable.

after you told him, he demanded that a bodyguard would be posted right by your side. at all times. forcefully, you refused. sure, you wanted to stay safe. but you didn’t want a babysitter.

but in this situation, bucky’s worries shadowed your freedom. besides, you could still do everything you wanted. it’s just that you had a six foot, buff man walking next to you. it was like having a quieter, balder bucky.

so your life had changed slightly. instead of that feeling of being watched, you had a babysitter & that overwhelming feeling.

that feeling was gut-renching at times. was some creep taking pictures of you? or were some villains planning something? were they planning a kidnapping?

it all messed with you. it congealed into anxiety, & that sat in your stomach like a stone.

༅~

we’re almost there, dear avengers.

soon you’ll be safe from him.

& i’m sorry dear, y/n. you shouldn’t have to be in the middle of this. but he’s forced you to work with him & be with him.

it’s all gone too far.

but it’ll be over soon...

༅~

“you sure you want to go out now?” natasha asked as you threw on your jacket. “it’s pouring outside.”

“yeah, i need to get out. it’s been a few days.” you smiled & moved to slip on your boots. “plus, i wanna smell the rain.”

after seeing the worried look on natasha’s face, you reassured her that you’d have your guard with you & that you wouldn’t go far.

you meant to say bye to bucky, but he wasn’t in your bedroom or in the common area. you shrugged it off & decided it wasn’t vital. you were only going to be gone for fifteen minutes.

the air outside was crisp. for it only being september, your breath had taken the form of a tiny puff of smoke. you always loved that. sure, you were well into adulthood, but you liked pretending you were smoking.

you turned to your bodyguard — who rudely still did not tell you his name — & expected to at least smile at your childish reaction. but he just stared harshly. ouch.

you started to walk away from the tower’s entrance. your umbrella covered you, & you could hear the guard’s footsteps behind you. always one step behind.

you walked past a few businesses & shops. you were just going to reach the nearest intersection then turn around. about halfway through your path, a large alleyway separated the groups of buildings.

when you reached it, you didn’t notice but your bodyguard had been practically sucked up by the alley & it’s darkness. his footsteps had stopped, but you were paying attention to the cars & pattering of raindrops.

“it’s nice outside, huh?” you asked. a few moments had gone by without response. “you could at least resp-“

when you turned to give the large man a smug face, all you saw was an empty sidewalk. looking around, you actually noticed that no one was out. this was strange; no matter the weather, there was usually at least one other person out walking.

“guard? hello~ mr. bodyguard?”

you backtracked to the alley. maybe he found something?

when you peeked from behind the building’s corner, you saw two large men in suits standing over your guard, who had obviously taken a beating. his face was already bleeding & turning blue. he had a scarf around his mouth & handcuffs on.

a particularly tall, skinny man stood away from them. he had a lighter suit than the pair & laughed at the guard on the ground. but after his chuckle, you could hear the faintest apology.

almost as if he sensed your presence, he spoke as your neared the entrance of the alley.

“hello, y/n. again i am so sorry for what’s about to happen.”

before you could respond in any way, you felt hands all over you, restraining any movement. this wasn’t like you. normally, you had fast reflexes. but now you were at the mercy of two men.

maybe it was seeing someone bigger than you struggle against them. or maybe it was the tall man. either way, you were now trapped. & you finally knew what that overwhelming feeling alluded to.

༅~

natasha watched the clock while you were gone. even before these past two week, she had always watched over you in that sense. she never had such a close friend before, & she’d be damned before she let anything happen to you.

so now more than ever, she watched you like a hawk. she counted the minutes as soon as you walked out that door.

fifteen minutes had passed about thirty minutes ago. she planned to just stay put, knowing you’d chew her a new one if she called asking about you.

but this was agony.

she had to do something. so she called bucky, asking if you had come back. he replied saying he didn’t even know you were gone. so now the two closest people to you were now panicking.

bucky yelled for f.r.i.d.a.y. to check your location. she told him your last location was 0.8 miles away from the tower about 30 minutes ago. over the intercom, she said she couldn’t track you anymore.

bucky started to scream about how he knew you shouldn’t have gone out, & how he should have kept a closer eye on you.

everything was getting out of control already.

so bucky set out for tony & steve, with natasha right behind. he’d do anything at this point, before he even knew what was happening. he was supposed to be the one protecting you. he shouldn’t have ever let something like this happen.

“we have to find her. now.”

༅~

“again, i’m deeply sorry for this intrusion, y/n.”

this was the first thing you heard as you awoke.

blinking profusely, you tried to gather yourself. your head pounded, & your joints felt so soar. still, you forced yourself awake. looking around you saw that you were in a dingy room with bright lights. the smell of cigarettes encapsulated the space.

yep, you were definitely kidnapped.

you recalled everything before this point. taking a walk, your bodyguard, the alleyway, the two suited men, being tied up, being knocked out...

you swiped your tongue over your teeth, making sure they hadn’t punched you that hard. luckily, you still had all your teeth.

“i’m not going to seriously hurt you, y/n.” the man spoke again. “unless he doesn’t compromise, that is.”

“wh- wait. who? who’s ‘he’? wait, wait. where’s my bodyguard? what’d you do to him?” you wiggled in your seat. you felt your calves scratch against the legs of the chair. your hands were tied to the arms, so you could see the marks on your wrist. they were bright red.

“he’ll be fine.” the man, who had been standing in front of you, took a step closer. “he might not want a hero life anymore, but he’ll be okay.”

“who- who are you? & who’s ‘he’?” you barked. the feeling of peace from hearing the guard was okay was short-lived. now adrenaline coursed through your body.

“well, if i told you my name, it’d all be over,” he chuckled through his scratchy voice. “on the other hand, ‘he’ is who you call “baby”.”

“b-bucky? what do you- what does this have to do with bucky?” you wrestled with yourself in the chair again, making your wrists burn.

“the winter soldier has everything to do with this.” the man started to pace about the room. “he’s the whole reason you are here.”

you stopped moving.

bucky? how is he the reason? he didn’t put you here, did he?

“i see the look on your face, & don’t worry. the winter soldier is not behind this. i am.” he pulled a chair from the side of the room & dragged it in front of you. he sat on it backwards, straddling the chair. “now, i’ll explain before he gets here- oh, that reminds me.”

the suited man reached into his coat pocket. he pulled out a pistol. panic surged through your body. this wasn’t the end was it? you couldn’t die here. it was too dim, too awful...

“oh, wait. that’s not right. that’s for later... maybe.”

he reached over & set it on the nearby desk, where the chair came from. he dug around in his other pockets before finally pulling out a device. it was the size of a phone, but wires & cards were sticking out of each end.

“this... this will give our location to the soldier.” he waved it in front of his face.

he was pale, & his eyes were bloodshot. other than that, he looked kept-together. almost handsome.

“you want him here?” w

hat kind of kidnapping was this? the napper wants people to know where he is?

“yes, like i said before: he is the sole reason for all of this.” the pad of his finger pressed a button on the device. “now, as we wait. let me tell you about my operation.”

༅~

ding! ding!

“james buchanan barnes,” f.r.i.d.a.y. chimed in over the team’s voices. “i just got a location alert. it is y/n’s location, sir.”

the team, who had been brainstorming for the past hour, shot up. most of them scrambled for their clothes, wanting to set out immediately. others, just scrambled in general, not having a plan.

bucky had rushed out of the room as fast as possible. your location had been sent to his phone. he sprinted to the garage & hopped on his bike, ignoring steve’s shouts. as fast as humanly possible, he sped down the road, following directions to you.

he wanted to cry & yell. he was so stupid to think he could keep the both of you safe. this relationship was wonderful, but it was dangerous. why’d he have to fall in love with a spy?

༅~

maybe it was because he was going 30 over the speed limit, but bucky couldn’t believe how fast he got to you — or rather where you were.

he arrived at a shack behind a boarded up shop. the door was locked, but he had no problem kicking it down. when he busted through, he noticed how small it was. a desk & two chairs filled the space. & in those chairs were you & a man.

“why, it’s the winter soldier.” the man stood with open arms. “perfect timing, i should say. i just finished my speech.”

almost immediately, bucky swung at the man. but he missed. the man sped past him & made his way toward you. on his way over, he snatched the pistol, which had been resting on the crumbling desk.

he held it to your temple, waiting for bucky to turn around.

when he finally did, he stopped. he even stopped breathing. he was too scared to move. he didn’t dare blink.

suddenly, two other figures entered the room. they were quite tall & the seams of their suits almost busted as they flexed. each of their arms rested on each of bucky’s shoulders, keeping him in place.

“now, i told dear y/n not to make a sound during this whole thing.”

bucky looked down at you. you had been silently weeping the whole time. tears stained your cheeks. your face was blotchy, & bucky felt a pang in his chest. the man had told you before that if you made any type of sound, he’d shoot bucky & then you.

“y/n...” bucky called out softly.

“enough!” the man’s voice carried out. it was piercing, almost. “you don’t need to manipulate her anymore.”

“manip- what the hell are you talking about?!”

“well, of course we all know the tale of the winter soldier. the notorious super soldier who kills for fun.” he waited for a response but got nothing. his smirk faltered. “the man who found a way to nestle himself in the minds of the avengers & force his way into the team. you’ve corrupted them, winter soldier. & it’s disgusting.”

“what are you talking about?” bucky’s voice was low & stern. he was beyond angry; steam was practically billowing out of his ears.

“i’ve brought you here to stop it.”

he waved the gun about, but the barrel always pointed toward you.

you started to shake. the years of training now left you. fear took over. you couldn’t breathe properly, let alone fight. it was terrifying.

usually, you were fighting for people you didn’t know. somehow that was easier than this. now, you were at the mercy of someone who hated you for who you loved & trusted, someone who wanted the love of you life dead.

“how are you going to end it?” bucky lunged forward, but the pair behind him held him back.

“well, you can surrender to me. which, of course means leaving your life behind & letting me destroy you.” he paused, allowing each word to sink in. “or... i kill your lover, & then you surrender.”

bucky knew his friends were on his trail. he could stall, but would it work? if this psycho heard them from here, would he just shoot you then & there?

“& i know your posse is right behind you, soldat. i’m not stupid.”

the men’s hands hardened, putting more pressure on bucky’s shoulders.

“you have one minute to make a decision.”

59 seconds...

he didn’t want to hurt you. that’s the last thing he wanted.

50...

but would surrendering be the right move?

45 seconds...

you had always told him it would crush you if he died.

40 seconds...

& it would absolutely destroy him if you were to leave.

30...

if he waits too long, you’ll both die anyways.

25...

surrendering would hurt you, but it’s better than you dying.

but would you rather die than be without him?

15 seconds...

tears pooled in his eyes. he stared at you, longing for one more kiss, one more hug, one more word from you.

8...

so what should he do? would this man be as merciful as to let you say goodbye?

5...

bucky always said he wanted to leave this earth. but he didn’t mean now. not now when he had you, & steve, & the team.

3 seconds...

he’s made so much progress. was all this for nothing? his legacy was to die at the hands of a psychopath who knew nothing about the man he is today?

1...

bang!

a bullet was shot. the noise echoed through the tiny space. everyone flinched. bucky could not tell if it came from the man or behind him. he couldn’t tell if you were alive or dead...

༅ sokka has calloused hands from fighting + weapons + such

༅ but FOR SOME REASON his hands are so soft

༅ like unbelievably soft

༅ you sometimes just rub his hands on your face when the two of you are cuddling

༅ i mean what?

༅ anyways

༅ he is also the best kisser

༅ for no reason at all

༅ he just makes you melt

༅ sokka is also a little furnace. whenever you two are sleeping together, you have to fling the blankets off because he emits that much heat

༅ sokka is so protective over you

༅ “y/n! be careful! wait! lemme help you!”

༅ “sokka... it’s a puddle. i’ll be okay.”

༅ it’s crazy how much he adores you, though. his whole presence softens when you’re near him

༅ he always tells you how you bring out the best in him

༅ sokka also has a tendency to create a million nicknames for you

༅ “how about squishy?!”

༅ “erm... it’s a little too much.”

༅ “whaddya mean?” he says this with the biggest puppy-dog eyes

༅ then for the next two weeks, your name was squishy

༅ sokka is a huge believer in sharing everything

༅ he just wants to give you stuff (material + non-material)

༅ “sokka, i don’t want your jacket! it’s already too hot! why’d you even bring it! ... why’d you think i’d want a jacket when it’s so humid?!”

༅ even if he screws up, he had/has his best intentions at heart

༅ sokka gets the best ideas for pranks but will never do them alone

༅ he’ll usually get toph or aang on board (zuko + katara are too proper to take part in that kind of stuff, sokka says)

༅ sokka will fill giant balloon of jelly or pudding + hand them to aang so he can float them above people’s heads

༅ a few royal garments may or may not have been permanently ruined

༅ although it may not seem like it, sokka is a very hygienic man

༅ he insists on haircuts every two weeks

༅ “it grows too fast, y/n! i can’t go out looking like this! it’s barbaric!!”

༅ you usually have to pull him away from stores while shopping

༅ half of your budget is spent on impulse buys

༅ + your living room probably has one too many gaang merch

༅ “katara, they just sell so much of us that it’s too irresistible to buy!”

༅ sokka is also a child in the sense that he brings animals home every week

༅ “can we keep it??”

༅ after the incident with the moose-lion, sokka only eats what he’d kill (the boy just can’t give up meat!)

༅ so your backyard is full of every animal imaginable

༅ you + sokka bring out the best in each other

༅ your relationship is full of compassion + fun

you suck

bucky barnes x reader

summary: bucky & you always had an affectionate friendship. even your teammates thought you had a thing. but you always thought it was flirting; but to bucky it was just a friendship.

warnings: angst & harsh language

word count: 2k

a/n: this is actually two requests mashed into one! ( @drunkbucky & @cap-n-stuff-main )

masterlist

“hey, sexy,” you called out as bucky passed you. he walked through the kitchen, shirtless. he had just finished training & was now heading to the elevators to go up & take a shower.

“hey, beautiful,” he returned. “how’s your morning so far?”

“oh, y’know. just eatin’ some fruit.” you leaned over the counter, pushing your bowl towards the soldier. “want some?”

“nah, i don’t wanna share that fork with you,” he teased.

you both knew full well that you had shared food more times than you could count. this was no exception.

he leaned toward you & let you feed him a slice of pineapple from your fork.

“you two are gross.” wanda pushed past bucky, heading to her room.

“yeah, i don’t understand why you two don’t just date,” vision said as he followed wanda.

this was a regular occurrence: the team butting in & asking what the status of your guys’ relationship.

you & bucky had always been close, constantly flirting & teasing beyond friendly boundaries. flirting was your way of... well, flirting.

but flirting with bucky had the complete opposite meaning. maybe it was because he didn’t understand why anyone would want to be near him, let alone date him. or maybe it was because it had been such a long time since he last flirted with a woman.

either way, your guys’ relationship was the pure definition of mixed signals.

you yearned for bucky to one day take your compliments seriously. whenever you two were sitting on the couch together, far too close to be friends, you’d die for him to turn to you & kiss you.

bucky was handsome & funny & so unbearably kind. his laugh was enough to drive you crazy. but when he called you beautiful or doll? oh my lord, your mind went crazy.

“y’know it’s been a year?” natasha’s voice rang through your room as you rummaged through your closet.

“since what?”

“since you & bucky started going all we’re-dating-but-not-really.”

“why bring that up? & what am i looking for again?” you turned back to your friend, who had taken this time to rearrange your stuffed animals from smallest to biggest.

“i bring it up because it’s clear that you drool whenever he walks in the room. i can just tell your heart rate spikes when he says something.” natasha placed a stuffed duck next to a bear. “& you’re looking for a bomb ass outfit to wear today when you finally confess your feelings to bucky.”

“but i don’t want to~” you whined. “plus, what if he doesn’t feel the same way?”

“trust me, babe. i’ve known this man for years. he’s stubborn, but i just know he’s head-over-heels for you. don’t worry.”

—

with help from your red-headed friend, you were dressed in an outfit that brought out both your eyes & your curves. you felt confident & ready. you were going to confess your feeling to bucky. it was now or never.

you took the elevator down from the bedrooms to the training center. you walked down the hall, past glass-walled rooms, which were separated by different activities & equipment. making your way down to the boxing ring, you could hear two familiar voices.

“so how do you feel about her?” a rough voice echoed from the last room down the hall. you recognized this as steve’s voice.

“i dunno,” bucky’s voice reached your ears.

oooo~! now you can get reassurance that natasha was right about bucky’s feelings. it felt like ages since bucky started talking; your body was filled with excitement. you couldn’t wait until what he would say about you.

“i mean, don’t get me wrong, i like flirting with her, but it feels wrong,” bucky continued.

your eyes widened.

what?

“whaddya mean, buck? i see the way you look at her. it reminds me of rose & you, back in the day.”

“i just feel bad for her, y’know? i don’t want her to think her flirting is unrequited.” bucky’s voice was softer. you could hear a tinge of sadness, even.

but what?

feel bad for me?

who does he think he is?

so he’s been faking it this whole time? all those compliments & jokes didn’t mean anything?

you wanted to blame natasha for giving you false hope, but you could only blame yourself.

he was bucky barnes. the infamous heartbreaker. sure, he hadn’t been called that since the forties, but do people really change? he’d been through hell & now his self image was horribly damaged but that still makes him a heartbreaker. steve has said multiple times how bucky wouldn’t want to be in a relationship. why did you think you’d be the girl who’d change him?

you had given yourself false hope. for an entire year. you lied to yourself. “maybe tomorrow,” you had said. each night, you hoped bucky would sneak to your bedroom & confess himself. & of course it never happened...

tears welled up in your eyes. you couldn’t stay here. you couldn’t keep listening. you tried to escape silently, but a sob left your mouth as the tears streamed down your cheeks.

you heard the two men mutter in confusion, but before they could see how humiliating this was for you, you jumped on the elevator.

as soon as those doors opened, you fled to your bedroom. like a princess in a disney movie, you laid on your bed & cried. you cried until there was nothing left in you.

all the memories from the past year flooded your mind. hugs, movie marathons, & shared meals that meant so much in those moments now seemed like jokes in themselves. how stupid could you be?

—

the next few days were spent in your room & in pajamas. you told what had happened to clint & natasha, who apologized profusely. they continuously brought you comfort foods & consoling words.

when you did venture out into the kitchen & common areas, you ignored both steve & bucky. it was obvious why you stopped talking to bucky, but steve... you thought he was your friend, that he would at least tell you something that important. but instead, he let you continue to act like a fool.

—

on the fourth evening of your pity party, you spent your time in a ball on your bed watching all the movies on your watchlist.

you were actually paying attention to this one, but then a knock came to your door.

checking the time, you saw it was already well past midnight. who the hell was knocking this late?

begrudgingly, you left the comfort of your bed & opened the door. & of course the last person you wanted to see stood there.

bucky barnes was standing outside your door at two in the morning. if this happened a week ago, you’d be swooning. but now you wanted to go take a shower.

“h-hey,” bucky said. awkwardly, he waved shyly.

“hi.” you tried not to show too much emotion. you had been sad for long enough, now you were just angry.

“s-so what’s been going on? i haven’t, uh, seen you much lately.”

“yeah.”

“so, what’s up?”

“what do you mean?”

bucky just quirked his eyebrow in response, so you continued. “i heard what you told steve the other day. y’know, when you said you were just flirting with me because you felt bad.”

it felt nice to stand up for yourself, for once.

“y/n... i- that’s not what i was saying. you didn’t let me finish!” he tried to reach out for you but you backed up. “y/n... please.” you could see there was actual regret & sadness in his eyes.

well, you already acted like a fool for an entire year. one more night wouldn’t hurt.

“fine, tell me the rest.”

you motioned toward your bed. it was the middle of the night, & you were tired from standing.

bucky sat across from you with his elbows on his knees. he looked both anxious & stressed.

“i- ugh. how am i supposed to say this.” he rubbed a hand over his face. “i- i don’t feel bad for you. fuck! no, that’s not what i meant! i do feel bad for you hearing that & feeling bad. but i don’t pity you. i didn’t do all that stuff because i pitied you.”

he took a few deep breaths before continuing.

“i love you, y/n. i just... i didn’t know if you felt the same. & i know i’m an awful person. & i don’t know why you’d want to date a person like me, so that’s why i didn’t act on my feelings. i didn’t want to hurt you... i guess that backfired, huh?” he chuckled, softly.

you smiled.

“you really love me?” you asked.

“yeah. a lot. i mean, a lot a lot.”

“come ‘ere.” you extended your arms & made grabby motions with your hands.

you welcomed bucky into a long hug. this was much better than any other hug you two shared. five minutes ago, you hated this man. but now, you loved him more than anything.

“ughhhhhhh.” the gaang let out a collective moan as appa shifted his weight to the left, causing turbulence.

“appa, what’s up buddy?” aang bent down from appa’s neck. he looks in appa’s eyes to see that tired had glazed over his pupils. “uh oh. guys!” aang turns back to you & the rest of the group. “we gotta make a pit stop. appa’s really~ tired.”

you & toph let out a sigh of relief. this had been the longest flight of this entire summer. plus, it had gotten cold that high up in the clouds.

“let’s go to a beach!” katara suggested, hoping to get some water bending practice in.

“no! we’ve gone to three beaches already in the past month! you do realize i can’t have fun when i don’t know where i am, right?” toph interjected.

sokka saw a frown on his sister’s face but chose toph’s side anyways: “toph’s right, katara. maybe we should go somewhere else.”

aang agreed & with that, appa flew down to a clearing in a secluded woods. it was still cold, but the grass & dirt below retained some heat. the grass was also soft & green as could be. the surrounding pine trees towered over, pine needles rattling in the breeze.

when appa landed, he dozed off immediately. toph & momo decided to make dirt castles, & aang & katara sat cross legged, talking about how nice the weather was.

just like it had been for the past two months, sokka followed you everywhere like a puppy. so he waited for you to do something before he did anything.

you touched your hair, wondering if it had been too long since you’d let it breath. since you didn’t have access to your regular hair accessories & treatments, you kept it up for the most part.

it was difficult to fight fire nation soldiers with your curls in your mouth.

when you took out your ponytail, your hair was slightly dented from the hair tie. you fluffed it up & shook your head from side to side.

“does it look good?” you faced sokka & motioned toward your head.

“y-y-yeah...” he was practically drooling over you. katara had always teased you about sokka & his “big fat crush on you” (as she put it). but him going crazy over you with your hair down only furthered that point.

as the day continued, things relaxed more than they already had. at one point, sokka sat in the grass & offered for you to do the same. wanting to make the boy blush, you laid down & placed your head in his lap.

like you planned, sokka blushed so hard you thought he’d explode.

as you settled into your new place, sokka started to play with your hair. at first it was just braiding & twirling, but then it was like you stepped into a spa. this man make you shiver. in fact, your goosebumps got goosebumps.

a few minutes later, you started to doze off. between sokka & the nice ambience, how could you not? it was beyond peaceful; it was just what the gaang needed.

when you woke up, sokka was looking over you, pushing curls behind your ears.

“hey there,” you said.

“man, your voice sounds tired,” sokka chuckled, swiping another curl from your face. “how’d you sleep?”

“really good.”

“good, i’m glad.”

his smile grew wider, which made your heart beat faster. maybe sokka wasn’t the only one with a crush...

as if he read your mind & knew what you wanted, sokka leaned down. his hand moved from your hair down to your cheeks. you hoped he didn’t feel how hot your they got.

when his lips met yours, it was totally different than any kiss you’d had before. he kissed you with such passion, it made you realize he was here all along. you could’ve kissed him ages ago. & you really really should have.

sokka x f!reader

summary: when you finally muster up your courage to ask out sokka, he’s already fallen for another girl.

warnings: angst

a/n: this is a request by anon!

masterlist

sokka.

a man who tortured your entire existence just by breathing.

you two had grown up together in the southern water tribe. living only two huts down from him, you were able to maintain a close relationship.

but for you, it wasn’t close enough.

see, the thing was that you had a major crush on your best friend. like major. painstakingly so.

it started during the beginning of winter about four years ago. you both were still young & enjoying what little childhood you could have in the middle of a war.

after what had been a short summer, the ice began to thicken. & the first snow was approaching. the first was the only enjoyable for the tribe. both children & adults would go outside to witness it.

your mom had called out to you from the kitchen when the snow started to fall. when you heard the word “snow”, you rushed to grab your coat & shoved it over your dress & pants. you almost fell running out the door.

you told yourself you were running to sokka & katara, but you knew deep down you only wanted to see sokka & enjoy this with him. not to say you didn’t want to see katara, it’s just that you didn’t love her like you did her brother.

as you ran down the white speckled path, you saw your favorite person open their door.

“y/n!” called sokka. a wide smile spread across his face, making you stumble a little while running. “it’s snowing!”

“well duh,” katara pulled her jacket over her head as she walked out of the house.

when you made it to the pair, you huffed, enjoying seeing your breath puff up in a little cloud. you looked at your friends. you had noticed sokka’s hair was lit up by tiny snowflakes. the white in his hair made his eyes sparkle. this paired with his goofy smile just killed you.

fast forward four years & nothing has changed.

sokka was still oblivious & laughing, while you merely stared after him.

you planned on telling him your feelings. you really did. but your fear got the better of you. what if this would ruin your friendship? what if he laughed at your confession? what if katara disapproved? there were too many variables.

but now you had a true reason to tell him.

you were on a sky bison, flying to the northern water tribe, with the avatar himself. you were literally on your way to fight a war! you just had to tell sokka. your lives were on the line.

the northern water tribe was just beautiful. it set the perfect scene for you. it was much more romantic than home. it’s pearly buildings towering over canals & lit pathways. & the sound of cracking glaciers was eery but comforting at the same time.

as the group walked through the city, you & sokka failed behind everyone. now was your chance!

“so sokka,” you began.

but he wasn’t listening. his eyes were on a nearby boat. you followed his gaze to a literal goddess. she was stunning. her white hair flowed through braids, her blue eyes were so bright you could see them from a mile away, & she stood with such an elegance that baffled you.

“she’s so pretty,” sokka drooled.

so maybe later, then.

but later didn’t happen, at least not in the northern water tribe. the girl on the boat, princess yue, stole your best friend’s heart. you watched as sokka sacrificed almost everything for her; he even fought her fiancé! & you just sat & watched.

it was heartbreaking when yue sacrificed herself for her tribe, but your heart shattered seeing sokka cry. you felt for him, you truly did. but your jealousy got the better of you. you practically cringed when sokka & yue shared their last kiss. you couldn’t bear to see that.

so you went on with being sokka’s best friend. nothing more.

but then an opportunity presented itself: the serpent’s pass.

the group volunteered to help a pregnant couple through the pass to bosing sei. a secluded, possibly dangerous mission with heartwarming undertones? what would be better than confessing your love then?

so you gathered your courage once more. this time it was your first evening on the trip. half of the group was asleep, while the rest watched the campfire. you & sokka sat on your sleeping bags, facing the cliffside.

“sokka...”

you turned towards him, the man who owned your heart. who you’d do anything for, even die for. the man who killed you everytime he smiled or laughed. who brought unlimitless joy to your life.

sokka turned away from the moon & sea, towards you.

instead of spewing the speech you had practiced for years, your body took over. you cupped his face, his cheek warming your cold hand. you then scooted towards him. you could feel his breath. he was here, right now, in front of you. all you wanted was in your grasp.

closing your eyes, you kissed him.

this is what you were waiting for all this time. it was like he let fireworks off inside you. you thought your heart was going to swell & explode. this overwhelming feeling caused you to smile so much it broke the kiss.

you opened your eyes, still smiling. & you were expecting a smile in return, but there wasn’t one.

sokka frowned & took your hand off his face. he huffed, looking back up at the moon. he started to stand.

“i’m sorry, y/n. i can’t do this right now.”

your heart broke. the pain resignated in your chest. your body reacted to this emotional turmoil as if it was a wound. you wanted to doubled over, start crying, yelling even. but you just shivered & silently wept. the tears only came one at a time, ever so slowly. regret & hurt circulated through you. it was unbearable.

how were you supposed to keep going after this?
