AAHHH IM SO EXCITED UR REQUESTS ARE OPEN!!!!
Congrats on being so close to 3k too!
I was wondering if I could request MHA boys Kaminari, Kirishima, and Bakugo with an s/o that loves to give them kisses? Not just kisses on the lips but also like on the cheek, neck, hand, shoulders, chest, forehead, just anywhere they can. Like their love language is just physical affection. ((If you want you can replace one of them with Sero, I wanted to request him too but Ik you only do 3 and I love all four of them so you can choose if you wanna do him instead of one of the others))
THANK YOU AND HAVE AN AMAZING DAY HUN
AHHHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU'RE SO SWEET!!! And yes ik my character limit is 3,,,but we make exceptions for sero bb👀 Thank you for requesting!! ❤️💜❤️
Bakugo Katsuki 🧡
Secretly, he loves affection, he craves it. But he'd die before he ever admits it. Or that's what he thought. When you came into his life, he thought you'd be just another extra, another pebble in his road to success. But then again, he's wrong. You somehow found your way to his heart, you found a way to see his rare smile, hear his warm chuckle. You found a way to be his one and only.
So whenever you two are alone, he lets it out. His love, his need for love, he'll be the one to slide his hand into yours, intertwining his fingers with yours, and press his lips to your knuckles. In private, he'll smile, brighter than sunshine when you nuzzle your face in the crook of his neck and peck him. In private, he'll relish in your affection.
In public though, it's another story. He won't push you away, he won't tell you to stop, he'd try his best to lool as indifferent to it as possible. Though the blush on his face when you lean your head on his shoulder, says other wise. The corner of his lips twitching upwards whenever you run your hand through his hair, says other wise.
If your love language is physical affection, don't be insecure by him not responding to you in the beginning of the relationship, just knows that he loves you, he just does not know how to deal with it....
Kirishima Eijiro ❤️
Kirishima is a lot shyer than it seems. Sure he could be loud with his friends and sure he doesn't mind standing out from the crowd. But what makes his cheeks match his hair, is you and your abundance of affection.
Your arms are always wrapped around him, your lips are always pressed against his, or his cheeks, or his arms, or his neck.... Wherever you are, no matter who's around you, you're not shy to be too close to Kirishima, he's your boyfriend after all. He does get a bit overwhelmed at first, not knowing how to react. His heart will be beating so fast, he thinks you'll hear it. His body would turn so hot, he's afraid he'll suffocate you... But once he gets used to it, you'll feel warm, you'll feel good, you'll feel loved. Sweeter than honey, and softer than cotton, his embrace will sooth your nerves, his kisses will leave you breathless... If you think you're a bit too physical, don't worry about it, he loves it...
Kaminari Denki 💛
Too clingy doesn't exist in Denki's vocabulary. Even before you became his lover, and maybe that's what made you fall head over heels for the electric boy, he's so physical. He never misses the chance to engulf you in his arms, he never misses the chance to link your hands together and swing them in the air, he neve misses the chance to rest his head on you laps and gaze up to your eyes.
And when you started dating, somehow, he became even more physical. He never leaves your side, he always has his lips kissing you somewhere; your temples, the crown of your head, your cheeks, your shoulders.... And he loves it even more when you give him back all the love. Electricity would flow through his veins, his heart would beat so heard, he's afraid it will break from its cage... If your love language is physical affection, then Denki will love to return it ten times more.
Sero Hanta ♥
He's too relaxed, too calm for it too be true, and you're right. When he usually just gives you a smile when you drown him with kisses, you never know what truly goes on in his head. Hazzy and lost, he can't function properly. He starts thinking about everything. Can you pick up on his heart skipping a beat? Can you feel his blood boiling from love? Can you feel the trembling of his hands when they barely brush up your arms, cause he's too afraid to break you?
He's so in love, so taken with you, that whatever you do, will leave him smiling and a glint in his eyes. Whether in public or alone, he'll always reciprocate. Though the way he does might change. Alone, he does not mind giving you as much love. He'll kiss you from head to toe, he'll snuggle up so close to you, he'll love you. In public, he keeps it low key. He's not ashamed, he's not insecure, he's not hiding his love. But things like that, he loves to keep them between the two of you. That doesn't mean he won't flash you a grin, and that doesn't mean he won't kiss you back, sure short and brief, but always as passionate as ever. If your love language is physical affection, don't worry about it, don't think you're annoying him, just give him his space, he loves you either ways...

Be Nice! (My Hero Academia)
Primary Universe
Tumblr media Tumblr media
So I modified the request slightly, as I personally don’t feel comfortable using language in my fics. Rather than punishment for cursing, I had Bakugou be punished for name calling, which is something else he does in abundance. I hope you don’t mind the substitution! Enjoy!
~
A loud shout drew the attention of the three teens in the living room. They all looked up just as Sero flew past them at top speed, going so fast that they felt a slight breeze in his wake.
“Run, Sero!” Someone shouted with a laugh as Mina sprinted after him, eyes alight with some kind of passion they couldn’t make out in time. Shortly after her followed Kaminari and Jirou, who were both laughing so hard they almost couldn’t even run.
When the ruckus died down, Kirishima glanced at Deku with a confused smile. “Wonder what’s going on with them.”
“Bunch of idiots,” Bakugou muttered from where he lay on the couch, scrolling through his phone. “Interrupting our study time with their noise.”
“You’re not even studying,” Kiri pointed out.
“They’re still idiots.”
Deku, knowing Kacchan as well as he did, let the comment slide and tried to refocus himself on his laptop. Kirishima was not so willing.
“They’re just having fun, man. You’ve got to stop being so mean all the time.”
“Uh-huh.” Bakugou was unmoved, still scrolling.
“I’m serious.”
“Uh-huh.”
Kirishima glanced again at Deku, agitated, but with something else in his eyes the green-haired hero couldn’t place. At least, not right away. The redhead tried again. “You know I have ways of making you chill out, King Explosion Murder.”
Bakugou gave him a withering glare, then went back to his phone, unbothered by the threat. “Mm-hmm.”
Deku watched as Kiri set his own laptop aside and stood up, heading toward Bakugou with purpose, and – suddenly catching on to what he was about to do – panicked on behalf of his friend. “Wait, Kirishima—”
Bakugou looked up just as Kiri was beginning to loom over him, and all at once he knew what was about to happen, too. He scrambled to sit up. “Don’t you dare!” But it was too late for both of them. Kiri grabbed onto Bakugou’s sides and squeezed rapidly, forcing the blonde to jolt and choke on a startled giggle. “Fricking – no – not agahahahahain!”
Deku started to get to his feet, prepared to help his friend, but something about the way Kacchan looked right now stopped him. He was fighting back a smile and trying to escape Kirishima’s grasp, yes, but also…he didn’t appear to be upset. It was the look in his eyes when Kiri grabbed him from behind, wrapping him in a bear hug and digging into his ribs. Bakugou yelped and fell backward, forcing them both to collapse on the cushions with the blonde squirming helplessly on top, clenching his teeth in a desperate effort not to laugh. But his eyes weren’t angry, or embarrassed, or vengeful, or any of the things Deku expected. They were…happy.
It’s complicated, he remembered Bakugou saying to him when he’d asked if he really hated being tickled that much.
“Kirishimahahahahaha!” His rival finally couldn’t hold back anymore, letting the giggles slip free as he fought helplessly against the redhead. “Knohohohohock it off, you jeheheheheherk!”
“No, see, that’s not what I said.” Kiri’s voice was calm, reasoning, even as he dug into Bakugou’s upper ribs. “I said you’ve got to stop being so mean, not keep being so mean.”
“You sohohohohohon of a—” Bakugou tossed his head back and let out a strangled yell, followed by howling laughter. Kirishima grinned, targeting his friend’s weakest spot without a hint of remorse. “FRICKING STAHAHAHAHAHAP WE’RE RIGHT WHEHEHEHEHERE EVERYONE CAN SEHEHEHEHEHEHEE!!”
Complicated, huh? Deku thought with a smile, settling back to watch the show. It doesn’t seem so complicated to me.
“Then you’d better start being nice!” Kiri laughed along with him, hugging him tighter and continuing to assault the sweet spot. “Come on, Bakugou~ You know you don’t really hate everyone~”
“I F-FRICKING HAHAHAHAHAHATE YOU RIGHT NOHOHOHOHOW!!” Bakugou shrieked, grabbing desperately at Kiri’s arms. “STOHOHOHOHOP IT!! I’M SOHOHOHORRY ALREADYEHEHEHEHEHEHE!!”
“Are you, though?” Kiri teased.
Voices began to drift toward them from somewhere nearby, and that’s when Deku saw Bakugou panic for the first time this evening. He bolted upright. “Kirishima—”
“KIRISHIMA!!”
But Kiri was already letting Bakugou go before either of them could say his name fully. The blonde shoved himself off of Kiri, regaining his composure as much as possible before Sero, Mina, and the others returned from wherever they’d been, still laughing and talking loudly. Thankfully, they paid no particular attention to the group in the living room as they went by, and once they were past, Kiri nudged Bakugou’s shoulder.
“Come on, man, give me a little credit.” He smiled. “I know you don’t want the whole class to know you’re ticklish.”
Bakugou’s face was still red from laughing. He hunched his shoulders. “Tch.” Then he glanced at Kiri and mumbled, “Thank you.”
Kirishima’s smile widened as Bakugou looked across the coffee table at where Deku was sitting. Deku offered a smile as well.
I get it, Kacchan, he thought to himself. You only hate being tickled when it’s someone you’re not comfortable with.
“What are you looking at, nerd?” Bakugou spat at him, but it only made Deku smile wider.
And I’m not one of them. Not yet, anyway.
“Oh, come on, Bakugou. Do I really have to teach you a lesson again so soon?” Kirishima asked with feigned exasperation as he tackled the blonde back onto the couch and shoved his hands up under his shirt to better access his ribs.
“ACK!! KIRI, CUHUHUHUHUHUT IT OUT!!” Bakugou burst into laughter again, kicking and twisting and failing spectacularly to get away from the Red Riot.
It’s okay that you don’t want me to tickle you right now, Deku continued to think as though he were sending a message to his rival telepathically. I understand. We haven’t really been close for a long time. But we’re getting there.
“KIRISHIMA YOU--!!” Bakugou cut himself off, finally understanding that calling either of them names right now would only warrant more tickling. “YOU—YOU--!! DAHAHAHAHAHAHANG IT JUST STOHOHOHOHOHOP!!”
Kirishima laughed, and Deku laughed, and Bakugou really, really laughed.
Maybe one day we’ll be comfortable around each other. But for now, Kacchan, I’m just happy to see you’re comfortable around someone you can truly call a friend. And it’s good to hear you laughing.
“PLEHEHEHEHEASE, KIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIHIRI!!”
Deku beamed.
Genuinely laughing.

The Burning Questions
Just a little something I thought up while i was at work one day....
====================================================
You had always been a very inquisitive person, everyone knew this about you, but what they didn’t know was that you also had a filthy mind, but you usually kept the “adult” questions to yourself, especially when you were still in school, even more so now, you didn’t wanna be lumped in with Mineta as the creepy perv. 
Most questions you had these days were probably classed as a little pervy, but these days you also managed to keep 95% of all questions to yourself coming to conclusions by yourself and usually liking the outcome. 
Today it had been 10 years since you had all graduated from U.A and you were having your yearly meetup, at the usual place, usual time. You had kept in touch with most of your old classmates, but some you only saw this one time a year and maybe a few odd times you would run in to them through out the year so you treasured this night every time. Obviously you were still in touch with your childhood sweetheart/ now boyfriend, Katsuki Bakugo, and his friends had mostly stuck around, you saw Shoto quite a bit as you worked for Endeavour, and Jiro was your room mate, before you moved in with Katsuki, and she was your closest friend, the others you didn’t get to see nearly as much as you would have liked to. 
But this was great, everyone was here, drinks were flowing, dance battles were happening, food was in abundance and the laughter felt like it would never end. Until, it happened, a villain attack right on the venue your class had hired for the evening, smoke billowed in to the room and glass shattered all around you. Momo quickly created a bunch of eye goggles and masks to prevent inhalation of the gas, as it was uncertain if it was toxic or not. 
You all quickly switched in to hero mode, despite the elegant outfits you were all donning, right now all that mattered was to get this situation under control. 
“Shoto! Take Deku, Koda and Momo round back to check for any more villain activity! Kirishima, Mina, and Sato, check for casualties of staff and the public and get them all outside to safety immediately!” You began to automatically bark orders at people as Katsuki watched you from his spot at your side, a small smile gracing his lips. “ Everyone else be on high alert, ready to attack any moment.”
Everyone took their stance ready and waiting for what was to come next. Then you heard a sinister laugh as villains began to pile in through the broken windows and doors, You heard the explosion from the side of you as Katsuki jumped in to action, you felt the breeze zoom past you as Ingenium began to fight the guys barely able to make it inside. you smiled at how precise the class was now and joined in the fight, using Endeavours quirk to use hellfire against your attackers. 
The fight was finally winding down as most had been apprehended and the others choosing to flee, they attacked the wrong place. You called off your flames, and made your way over to where the majority of your old classmates had gathered, Katsuki spotting you and turning to face you with a smile. Just as he did he saw him, one last straggler of a scumbag, running towards you with all his might, he shot something from his finger tips, closely resembling a laser, and as Katsuki yelled to warn you it was to late, it hit you. But strangely you didn’t feel anything, you barely even realized you had been hit by anything. Katsuki blew the guy to hell for trying to hurt you and immediately turned back to you to ensure your safety.
“YN, Are you okay? did he hit you? Does it hurt anywhere?” He frantically asked as he examined you. 
“No, I am fine, I didn’t even feel it hit me, Maybe he didn’t have chance to activate his quirk fully when it hit me?” You replied, placing your hand on his chest to ensure his you were fine. 
“As long as you are ok Bear.” He said, placing a gentle kiss to your forehead.
The two of you made your way over to the others, thats when you felt it, an overwhelming urge questions just ready to spill out of you, you usually held everything in, but the closer you got to people the more you needed to ask them your burning questions.
“Kirishima!!” You began, knowing what you were about to say, but with absolutely zero way of stopping yourself... oh god... “ When you use your quirk does your dick go super hard too?” You clasped your hands over your mouth, that question had been burning at your soul since class 1A! “Do you use it when you are having sex with someone?” 
“WOAH!!”  He yelled, his cheeks going slightly red, “What the hell YN!?” 
“Sero!! Do you use your tape in the bedroom, like a kinky sex rope?”  
All eyes were on your now, all mouths open and slow blinks happening all around you, not all your questions were rude!! Where were the people you had real questions for!! The team you had sent around the back all started to reappear. Wondering why everyone was staring at you with wide eyes. 
“Koda!!!” You practically screamed as you ran over to him, “Do you think you could have controlled principal Nezu with your quirk when we were in school? Did you ever try it? I think we should go and try it.” 
“Erm whats going on?” Shoto asked cautiously. 
“I am not sure, she was fine two minutes ago and then all the questions started.” Katsuki answered, his hand going to your head to check for a fever. 
“Oh your hands are warm, can we use your quirk later in bed.” 
His hand slapped over your mouth out of embarrassment for the both of you. Slight smiles making their way to the faces of everyone who heard. You escaped his grasp and ran back to the others, the questions just spilling from your mouth like verbal diarrhoea. 
“Momo! Do you know how to make your own sex toys? I bet that saves so much money! Could you make me one?”
“Hey Sato! What do those lips do?” 
“Shoto! Are all your hairs split down the middle, are your pubes red on the left and white on the right?” 
“Deku did you tell Ochaco that you’re in love with her yet?” 
“Denki!! Have you every accidentally electrocuted yourself when you masturbated? Did it feel nice?” 
“Mineta, why are you such a gross perv?” 
“Shoji!! Have you ever had like, an 8some?!! Because you literally could!!” 
Katsuki finally got a hold of you and stopped you from just going around people asking them embarrassing questions, then he heard the laughter coming from the other side of the room, It was him, the one who had hot you with a laser. 
“YOU!” Katsuki yelled and marched over to him after handing you over to Kirishima who was to afraid to loos at you in case you asked him another question. “What did you do to her?” 
“Its my quirk sweetheart” He said in a sickeningly sweet voice, “She is gonna keep asking people questions she’s always wanted to know the answers to until she passes out from talking to much.” He laughs and Katsuki looks at you, mouth still covered by Kirishimas hand, they had to just wait it out then? He nodded over at Kirishima, who slowly lets you go. 
“Kirishima!” You say again and he winces. “Your hands are way softer than they should be, what moisturiser do you use?” 
He sighed with relief and as he went to answer you you had already wandered off, getting your phone from your pocket and dialling someone’s number. 
“Tamaki!!” You yelled down the phone. “What happens if you eat Pussy?” Then you just hung up. Dialling another  number straight away. “Shindo! What else vibrates!?” Hanging up again. 
Katsuki was literally turning the colour of Kirishima’s hair as you made your way around the room again. More questions just flowing from you. Making a mental note to call those two and apologise for you later. 
“Toru!! Have you ever done anything scandalous in public because literally no one can see you!!” 
“Ojiro!!! Have you ever spanked someone with your tail?” 
“Tokoyami!! Do you use dark shadow in bed? And is it classed as a threesome if you do?” 
“Jiro!! Can you plug your ear jacks into another person and hear their thoughts?!” 
You were getting breathless from all the questions you were asking. But you had so many more to ask. 
“Tsu!! I mean surely you know that I really wanna know what that tongue does in the bedroom right??” 
“Mina! Are you as dirty as I imagined you are, I kinda thought you would be like a dominatrix or something!!” 
“Katsuki!!!” You yelled, turning around, slightly dizzy now but this question you really needed an answer to, you stomped over, your vision darkening a little. “Will you ma.....” Darkness, you passed out, it was finally over. 
Katsuki jumped forward to catch you as you fell. Where you just about to propose? Did he hear you right? 
“Is she going to be okay?” Shoto rushed over and asked him as he moved hair from your face, your breathing was fast paced and you were sweating and warm. 
“I think she should be fine after some rest.” He replies
“I’ll contact my father and explain what’s happened, tell her she doesn’t have to worry about coming in tomorrow.”
“Thank you” Katsuki looked at him, they may not have always seen eye to eye, but he appreciated how much Shoto cared for your well being at work and in every day life, At least Katsuki knew you were safe while on patrol with Shoto. 
“I am going to get her home and rested up, I am sorry guys for the questions she was asking, I am sure she will be mortified when she wakes up.”
“Don’t worry about Bakugo, remember when Mina got his with the truth ray? Yeah that was kinda worse.” Kaminari laughs out as Mina hits his arm. 
Katsuki picked you up bridal style and got you home as quick as humanly possible. He wanted you rested, but he also wanted an explanation for the almost proposal. 
The next day you woke up, You felt like you had been hit by a bus and your throat was sore, you tried to picture what had happened last night, then it hit you, all the questions you had asked! All you dark questions you had harboured for years, you asked them all!!! You buried your reddening face into the pillows and screamed in to them, the sound muffled, but not enough for Katsuki to not hear you. He came i to the room, a cup of tea in hand as he made his way over to the bed and placed it on your dresser for you. You felt the bed dip as he sat with you, his hand laying on the small of your back. 
“Please tell me it was all a bad dream!” You practically begged and he wished he had that news for you. 
“Sorry Bear, It happened.” He said as he felt you cringe under his touch. “But please don’t worry about it, everyone knew it wasn’t you talking and they have all taken it in their stride.” 
“Really?” You asked quietly, emerging from your blanket and pillow nest you had buried yourself in to. “I just hope i can face them all again the next time i see them.” 
Katsuki laughed at you, handing you your tea, he looked at you lovingly as you blew on the hot beverage, taking kitten sips while it was still to hot. 
“I have a question though.” He said, sweeping some stray hairs behind your ears, You looked up at him, your puppy dog eyes making him melt a little as you just stared at him, “Before you passed out I think you almost proposed to me.” 
Your eyes widened and looked down, away from his glare. Remembering that’s exactly what almost happened.
“Nooooo. I am sure you’re mistaken,” You said, almost a whisper, as you continued to drink your tea. 
“Nope, heard it loud and clear.” He said with a smile. “ But I am glad you didn’t”
Your face dropped, He didn’t wanna marry you, you knew it, that’s why its been 10 years without even a sniff of a ring. You looked defeated and he saw your eyes begin to glaze over. He put his large hands under your chin and tilted your head to look at him properly. 
“I am glad you didn’t, because its my job to propose to you YN.” 
Your eyes shot up to look at him properly as his lips met yours in the sweetest of kisses, you felt him lean over during the kiss and grab something from his bed side table. He broke free of the kiss and there in his hands with a small red velvet box, He flicked it open and there sat the most beautiful princess cut diamond platinum ring you had ever seen, perfect and simple, just how you had always imagined. 
“Marry me? Dumbass. I love you so much, you and all your questions.” You felt your cheeks heat up and your eyes fill with tears. “I wouldn’t have you any other way, Please be mine, forever.” 
“I was always yours Katsuki.” You sobbed out as the tears broke free of your eyes and cascaded down your face.
“Is that a yes?” He asked.
“A million times yes.” You cried and threw yourself in to his embrace, tightly holding him as close to yourself as you could. The feeling of his butterfly kisses on your shoulder and neck as he squeezed you back. This was perfect. You thought to yourself. Just Perfect. 
He slipped the ring on your finger when you finally parted, and planted a slightly soggy kiss on your lips, soggy from a mixture of both your tears. 
“Lets go get breakfast.” He says, kissing your nose.
“Oh what’s for breakfast?” You ask. 
“Enough questions Babygirl, Oh and in answer to what you asked kirishima last night, he text me the answer this morning.” He smirks as he leaves the room. 
“Really!! What did he say?” You ask, quickly finding your feet and running to catch up to him. “I really wanna know that answer to that one!!” You begged as you caught up to him. 
“What do i get in returnm for telling you? Do i get to use my quirk in the bedroom?” 
You heated up, he could have cooked breakfast on your cheeks you were that hot. 
“I am kidding babygirl....unless....?”
“Tell me what he said and we’ll see!” You answer him, catching him off guard. 
“Yes, the hardness is all over, and yes he uses it on women all the time, happy now?”
“So happy!!” You yell in excitement. “Lets go make pancakes. Its a special occasion after all.”
You walk off in front of him as he smiles at your figure, not quite knowing if it was a special occasion because you were finally getting married, or if because you finally had your answer about Kirishima. Either way, he couldn’t be happier to have you by his side forever and always. 
=============================================================
Hope you guys enjoyed this!! Just a little fluffy fluff before i come along with chapter 2 of Lips of an angel and break all your hearts....

My favourite fanmade Lillian × Bakugou headcanon: Bakugou wears hair ties and scrunchies on his wrist (like a soft boyfriend) and no one knows why. Kirishima once found a box of colorful rubber hair bands in Bakugou's bag. Everyone is confused. Thoughts?
LilliKat: Hair ties
NOT EDITED DJJDJS RIP
-Kirishima is the first to notice. How could he not, really, when the band sticks out like such a sore thumb against Bakugo's usual brash attire. The sleeve of his dishevelled uniform is hiked up slightly as he writes, and the redhead gets a glimpse of a bright, neon blue hair tie.
-He stares at it for pretty much the rest of the day, trying to figure out whether or not he should ask about it. There's no way it's Katsuki's. He doesn't have enough hair to even think about tying it back into anything presentable. That leaves there to be no real explanation for the tie. No one in their friend group can really put their hair back aside from Sero, but the tape-user never does.
-Kirishima decides not to say anything. It's probably a coincidence, right? Maybe he saw it on the ground and just picked it up and didn't have a place for it. Maybe he was using it for something that wasn't related to hair. Kirishima didn't want to micro-analyze everything his explosive bro did. He'd only get a sharp glare and a snarl in return.
-See, this should've been the end of it. Especially seeing as a the blue band had vanished from his wrist by that evening. Kirishima felt oddly relieved that this unknown variable was missing. It came as a great shock when those feelings were dashed the very next day when he saw that Bakugo now had three bands on his wrist—one black, one bright pink, and the other a nauseating shade of sunflower yellow.
-It didn't make sense. Kirishima couldn't stop staring at them. What were they for? They seemed to vanish throughout the day. Where were they going? What was he doing with them? It made zero sense. Kirishima shouldn't have been bothered by something as small as hair ties, but this was Bakugo they were talking about. He never opened up about anything! And he was abrasive as they came. This new little quirk was confusing.
-The next few days proved that the bands wouldn't be vanishing anytime soon. They varied in number, sometimes as low as one or as high as six. They were always extremely bright, and they were almost always gone by the end of the day. Kirishima watched and tried his best to figure out where they were going. They seemed to dissolve into thin air. He'd look away one second and boom: one would be missing. It was infuriating.
-He probably could've just asked. It was a minor thing, after all. Hair ties! Bakugo surely wouldn't blow up over that. Kirishima didn't, though, because why would he? Instead he told his friends what he'd noticed and got them in on it too. Mina was the most excited. Kaminari just seemed vaguely amused, like maybe he knew something. Kirishima had tried to ask. The electric blonde would only ever shrug in response.
-None of them could figure out what was going on. For a few weeks, these bands persisted. They were always bright colors that didn't go with his personality at all. A few even had patterns like stripes or polka dots on them. Mina had spotted a few with tiny little flower beads on them!
-They were about to ask what the hell they were for when they reached a turning point. Because Bakugo walked in with not only three hair ties on his right wrist that morning, but a bright blue scrunchie with white flowers on it as well. The words died on their respective tongues. It stuck out like a sore thumb on his wrist.
-Bakugo didn't acknowledge it. It vanished sometime during the day too, the next day replaced by a glittery gold scrunchie and one that was a muted orange color. The other hair ties persisted in abundance as well. What were they for? Who did they belong to? Surely not him.
-Kaminari suggested that he was holding onto them for someone else, albeit hesitantly. He was brushed off. A mistake, because that made more sense then one would think. Of course the hair ties would be going to someone else. They just hadn't wanted to consider the thought because of how... Well, reclusive and mean Bakugo tended to be. Why would he care enough to hold onto hair ties?
-Answers came flying at them from the left field one day during hand to hand combat training. They were all dressed in their gym uniforms, chatting and waiting for the class to begin. Kirishima, Mina, and Sero were jabbering endlessly to Kaminari about the proper right hook whilst Bakugo slowly tried to drift away from the group. They followed without really realizing. Today, his wrist was particularly full of different bands and ties and scrunchies.
-Kirishima's attention was drawn when Lillian began to inch towards them, looking particularly nervous. Her eyes darted about, her fingers fiddling awkwardly. He didn't talk to Lillian much, but she was very manly, and surprisingly funny. She'd become pretty good friends with Kaminari recently. He was glad. He friend had been terrified of her before. For good reason, apparently. Mr. Aizawa's daughter? It's no wonder she was so scary!
-Mina turned with a smile, greeting her cheerfully. Bakugo's gaze snapped over, his brows rising. Lillian pursed her lips. Sero asked what she needed, smiling in a reassuring and welcoming sort of way. Lillian's hand came up to touch her hair, which was down and out of it's usual bun or ponytail. Immediately, gazed snapped to Bakugo.
-Kirishima hadn't thought he'd be willing to give up any of his hair ties for some reason. He was surprised when his explosive friend rolled his eyes and scoffed, beckoning her over with an inpatient hand. Lillian scurried over fearlessly, which was bold to say the least.
-And then things clicked into place, really. And Kirishima felt kind of dumb. Mostly surprised, but dumb too
-"How the fuck do you manage to lose so many of these?" Bakugo griped, his hands gathering up her wild hair expertly. He'd done this before. "You need one every two seconds. I'm not going to fucking supply them forever."
-"It's not like I asked you to. You just invited yourself in. You're lucky I let you touch my hair." Lillian accused. "You're the one who always has their hands on it anyway. Don't turn this around."
-Bakugo scoffed, but he was smiling. Kirishima stared. Mina and Sero did too. Kaminari didn't seemed surprised in the slightest.
-Bakugo put Lillian's hair up into a perfect bun with careful hands, doing his best not to pull. Lillian flipped around and gave him a quick hug afterwards, spewing thank yous as she ran back towards her group of friends— and her father, who didn't look happy. Bakugo grinned after her, ignoring the stares of his friends.
-Kirishima was speechless. Totally speechless. Lillian came over twice during training, her hair down and dishevelled, looking lost. Bakugo would stop whatever he was doing without falter to help, always grinning at her and carding his fingers through her hair. Mina would always gawk. Sero didn't seem necessarily scared: just perplexed.
-Aizawa came over at some point and told Bakugo to stay away from his kid. He barked out a laugh and told him to just try separating them.
-Things made more sense now. An absurd type, but sense nonetheless.

What BNHA Heroes have their s/o saved as in their phone
Class 1A x Reader
+ Aizawa and Shinsou
tw// cussing, cringe smh, lots of love <3 
Tumblr media
Class 1A
Yuga Aoyama 
he has you saved as ‘my ✨star✨’
and honestly you love it because he calls you that in real life too 
Mina Ashido 
she has you saved as ‘bubs 💞💓💖💝💘💕’
 the only reason there isn’t more hearts was because of the limit smh
she changes it every few weeks to a new pet name though
also she calls you that irl sometimes
Tsuyu Asui
she has you saved as ‘my flower 🌺’
honestly, the only reason she put you as that rather than your name because of your intense love for flora
every date you take Tsuyu on is always to somewhere with beautiful scenery and an abundance of flowers
Tenya Iida 
he has you saved as ‘beef stew’
he originally had you saved as ‘(Y/N) (L/N)’ 
but you showed him that you had him saved as ‘Honey’ so he wanted to save you under a pet name too
however, he couldn’t really think of one so he asked for you assistance and you told him that most cute pet names come from food
“So, what food do I remind you of, Iida?” 
“Beef stew.” 
Needless to say you both were laughing your asses off for a while after that 
but it’s still cute because beef stew is his favourite food just like you are his favourite person
Ochako Uraraka
she has you saved as ‘(L/N) <3 ’
she wanted to use a heart emoticon but her flip-phone doesn’t let her smh
Also she doesn’t have a pet name for you yet but she is working on it 
like she tried calling you ‘baby girl’ but then you explained to her the sexual undertones to that name so she stopped and she’s been too embarrassed since then to try again 
Mashirao Ojiro
he has you saved as ‘tail boy’s s/o 🤪’
y’all had a whole-ass discussion about this one time lmao
y’all were brainstorming ideas for what you should save each other as in your phones
you didn’t want to have something basic like ‘babe’ or ‘my heart🥰’ but rather something funny and you suggested (jokingly) to save his contact as ‘tail boy’
and rather than being offended like you thought he’d be, you both ended up laughing your asses of together for a solid 5 minutes (at least)
so you saved his contact as that and since he couldn’t come up with a funny nickname in relation to your quirk, he just saved you as ‘tail boy’s s/o🤪’
 Denki Kaminari 
he has you saved as ‘ASH CECHUM 😩😳💦🌚💓🧀'
plz don’t ask about the emojis idek
anyway, he saw that you saved him as ‘Pikachu <3′ which makes sense considering his quirk..
so he took it upon himself to save your contact as - in his own words - “That guy who owns the Pikachu from Pokémon’ 
however, despite the fact he has watched Pokémon before, he had no idea how to spell Ash’s second name and apparently the thought never came him that; ‘hey, maybe I should google it.’
so he just sounded it out 
as for the all caps, contrary to popular belief , he does know how to turn it off
he just chooses not to for the aesthetic and also it takes a lot of effort 
that is why he doesn’t use proper punctuation either 
Eijiro Kirishima
he has you saved as ‘love bug’
honestly, you’re not too sure of when or why he changed your contact name after y’all started dating but..
you thought it was cute but..a bit cringe
obviously you didn’t say anything about it though, you weren’t trying to be mean to your boyfriend for no reason
it’s not like he called you that irl
however, he’d be out of his mind if he thought you were gonna save him as something like that 
the best he’ll get from you is ‘Kiri babe 🤘' (get it? bc...rock!)
Kouji Koda 
he has you saved as ‘love bug’
ASKJFCWB YOU THINK IT IS OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD ADORABLE OML
like it makes sense because he like talks to insects and stuff and you’re his lil love bug cause you are his lover and stuff hhhhh
also because of the size difference between you and him, i mean, you are basically the size of an insect compared to him 
in short, Koda supremacy  🙇‍♀️🙇‍♂️
Rikidou Satou
he has you saved as ‘sugar pie’ 
honestly, poor man
he was completely clueless when you asked him to save you as something cute 
like, he know what you meant...but he had no idea what to go for 
so you chose for him 👍
and you made a pretty good decision tbh I mean, it’s cute! it relates to his quirk and all
and he has started to call you that irl sometimes and it always makes your heart go brrrrrrr
Mezou Shouji 
he has you saved as ‘hunk’ 
ok, i know i said Satou was a poor man but let me just say
THIS POOR MAN 
you told him it’d be cute if you both saved each other as cute pet names in your phones and dead ass him response ‘you’re not my pet though..’
AAAAAAAAAAA
so after a lot of explaining, as an example you whipped out your own phone and showed him how you had saved him as ‘hunk’ 
...he really went and just copied you
you thought that was so funny and precious though so you didn’t ask him to change it
Kyouka Jirou 
she has you saved as ‘my melody 🎶’
ok, so it started when she noticed that you use the same pen everyday - a My Melody one
she thought that was so fucking adorable and she kinda started teasing you for it; not that you minded though
she also thought it was so cute when you’d get all flustered 
so one day she just decided to change your contact name to that 
it also kinda tied in with her love for music (but mostly her love for you uwu)
Hanta Sero
he has you saved as ‘my honey nutter butter biscuit’
after Kirishima called his s/o ‘love bug’ infront of y’all that one time, you both spent the next hour taking the piss and laughing at how over-the-top couple nicknames are sometimes 
so just #for the meme he saved your contact as a hyperbole of what those cringe couple pet names are like
oh and you have him saved as ‘My beloved sweet peach taco’
Fumikage Tokoyami
he has you saved as ‘Helena’
yeah, he wanted to be edgy and save your contact after a MCR song
(no, he does not know that Helena is about Gerard’s grandmother but don’t you dare tell him)
Shoto Todoroki
he has you saved as ‘(Y/N) (L/N) 💖’
you texted him something during lunch one time to see his reaction while you were sitting next to him but then you noticed that your name in his phone was simply ‘(Y/N) (L/N)’
you mentioned it briefly but you didn’t make a fuss out of it because it really wasn’t a big deal
however, he asked to see what his name in your phone was and you showed him
you had saved him as ‘Babey ( •̀ ω •́ )✧’
he went home and did some research on some good pet names to save you as in his phone
after that, his search history kinda looked like;
‘pet names’
‘pet names for humans’
‘pet names for lovers’
‘cute nicknames for my girlfriend’
‘cute emoticons’
he deadass came in the next day and the first thing he did was pull out his phone and show you the emoji he put next to your name
“Look, (L/N). I found this emoticon and put it next to your contact name in my phone.”
yes, he sound like boomer..obvs
he spends 90% of his free time training rather than on his phone 
and the time that he is on his phone, he isn’t using emojis, he is searching shit like 
‘how to hack into a credit card without the PIN’
Tooru Hagakure
she saves you as ‘❤😘’
no, she doesn’t need to save you as your name to remember who you are 
she’s not a peasant
Katsuki Bakugo
he has you saved as ‘pretty stupid face’
originally it was just ‘stupid face’
but you noticed it and just dropped a subtle comment like “hey, that’s mean.”
so he came in the next day with ‘pretty’ added to the start
“i am genuinely too nice to you sometimes.” he’d say
“THE STUPID FACE PART IS STILL THERE”
“I KNOW BUT I ADDED PRETTY TO THE START!!”
“Wow, tch, such I gentleman-”
“I know-HEY WAIT WAS THAT SARCASM?!”
Izuku Midoriya 
he has you saved as ‘sweetest love muffin’
you that one couple i mentioned in Sero’s headcanons?
yeah, that’s y’all
you are both literally that couple
“No, you hang up.”
“No, you hang up!”
“Nooo, cause I’ll miss you”
“I’ll miss you moreeee”
he literally threw a bunch of his favourite adjectives into a pet name lol
also your contact name for him is something on a similar wavelength
Minoru Mineta
I know most y’all would’ve even give him your number lol
but for those who would 🤮
he has you saved as ‘sweet cheeks’ or sumn 
Momo Yaoyorozu
she has you saved as ‘My McMuffin’
HOL UP LET ME EXPLAIN
ok so she let you take her to McDonald’s cause you wanted to see her reaction since she is used to gourmet cuisine or whatever
so it was sure to be entertaining 
and it was 
but not in a good way
she was almost sick after she had a bite of a big mac and then she tried to wash it down with the Sprite but then she fainted for like a solid 10 seconds
once she came back, she obviously wanted to leave..so you did 
A year later, y’all are in the town and both of you are starving 
But Momo realised that she didn’t have her card on her or any money but that was fine because at least you had your debit card on you 
You had enough money on it for a taxi back to Momos place and a McMuffin each
Obviously she didn’t want one but when you started eating in front of her, of course she wanted a taste
and so it was love at first bite
she loved it so much so of course you bought another one for her and she consumed it in a millisecond (not literally)
so now she has your contact saved as the one thing competing against you for her love - a McMuffin
Shota Aizawa
unfortunately he does not have your contact saved as ‘kitten’
instead, in his phone you are saved as ‘The One  💙’
simple, yet it effectively shows his admiration - just the way he likes it
 and he only added the emoji to make your name stand out more so he could easily tell whether he was gonna ignore the following message or not
because if Mike is texting him telling his that he needs the extremely important documents that Aizawa keeps in his coded filing cabinet, Shota will be like -.-
but if you text him asking for him to pick up chocolate on his way home, he’ll be like 🏃‍♂️
Hitoshi Shinso 
he has you saved as ‘big daddy’
plz don’t ask 
it’s an inside joke between you and him
okay well, if you must know 
y’all were trying to come up with the most absurd nicknames for each other that kinda sound legit 
some other gems 
‘Muscleman’
‘Big scary snookums’
‘sexy giant’

RIOT! PRESENTS: DYNAMIGHT - A ROTATING HEADLINE TOUR Combining forces for the second annual Riot! Radio/Magazine empire tour are punk pop staples Chargebolt, indie rockers Plus Ultra! and newcomers Rolling Thunder, fresh off the release of their debut album, ‘Revelry in the Dark’. The tour format of a different running order each night, the mix of genres and an abundance of talent promises a sick show you won’t want to miss! The tour starts tomorrow night in Fukuoka, ending in Sapporo at the end of the month. Tickets | Details
Day 1: Fukuoka
***
The past 24 hours had been hectic and overwhelming; the last minute preparations, the packing, the 17 FaceTime calls Mina insisted were necessary for packing, the flight to Fukuoka, the hotel, meeting the approximately 3674 people involved in the tour (okay, really approximately), the soundchecks, the press, making sure Todoroki didn’t get lost (again). It could have been enough to have you considering your plan B vocation of Professional Kitten Cuddler (you’d seen a Buzzfeed article once), if it wasn’t for this feeling, right here and now.
The house lights had dimmed away to almost nothing, causing the steady thrum of chatter from the crowd to surge into a roar of anticipation that matched your own perfectly; waiting sidestage in the dark knowing you were on the precipice of doing what you loved most always made you feel electric.
You’d followed Shinsou onto the stage as the eyewateringly bright lights hit, securing the strap of your bass before looking without seeing out at where you knew the crowd was. You were really here, on this stage, with your best friends, on the biggest tour you’d done so far as a band. You let yourself bask in the joy that brought for a moment longer, before turning towards your bandmates, tilting your head in silent question. Quick nods from Tokoyami and Shinsou and a peace sign from Mina were all you needed before you turned to Todoroki to count in. Everything after that was the most beautiful white noise.
***
8 songs flew by quicker than you could ever remember, Shinsou’s synths fading out as Mina yelled into the mic like she was going for Present Mic’s radio slot.
“Our record is available from the merch table and we are on all relevant social media - @ rollingthunder! Our TikToks are epic! We have been Rolling Thunder, you have been fucking beautiful - goodnight!!!”
“‘Our TikToks are epic’?!” Shinsou rounded on the lead singer as soon as you were all sidestage again.
Mina put her hands on her hips, giving off the energy of an elementary school teacher who had to do this a lot. “They are epic! It’s not my fault you never want to be in them!”
“Maybe that’s why they’re epic?” Todoroki deadpanned, removing the sweat-soaked towel from around his neck.
The snort you gave out at the impossible-to-tell-if-it-was-intended-as-an-insult-or-not-because-it’s-Todoroki insult died off early as you caught sight of him.
Fuck. He’d actually gotten hotter overnight.
Kaminari made a beeline straight for you from the door that lead to the backstage area, 100 watt smile firmly in place. “Hey, you. Great set out there! Totally dope!”
“You were watching?” You were too caught off guard to school your tone into anything less giddy, and you knew you’d be hearing about it until you could hide in your bunk on the tourbus. Maybe not even then if your bandmates didn’t respect the sanctity of the curtain.
“Yeah, of course! We were up on the balcony, in the private bit? You know?” You assumed Sero and Kirishima formed the ‘we’ he was talking about, as they appeared one after another through the same door, grinning widely.
“Yeah, totally, I remember they said there was somewhere to watch the other sets from...cool!”
A part of you died inside as you heard yourself reply and you wondered briefly if there was any chance your whole band wasn’t watching this interaction. Hearing ‘cool!!!’ mimicked in four wildly different attempts at your voice shut that down.
There was no way Kaminari hadn’t heard all four impressions, but he was nice enough to pretend he hadn’t.
“Yeah! So, uh...you could totally watch our set, now! If, you know, you want...” He trailed off, looking hesitantly hopeful and fiddling with one of his many, many earrings.
His golden eyes had been staring into yours for the whole of your conversation so far and you found yourself getting lost in his gaze, all of the noise of the crowd buzzing and the crew swapping the setup over becoming distant to your ears.
Until his bassist slapped him on his back - hard - shit-eating grin all over his face.
“Smooth like silk, Denks!”
“Shut up, Sero!” Kaminari whined, breaking eye contact with you to shove at his bandmate’s arm. 
No one said anything for what felt like the longest seven seconds in history. Kirishima cleared his throat politely and smiled encouragingly, but seemed to run out of ideas after that.
“We’ll watch you guys! But only if you tell us how awesome we were!” Mina’s arm slid seamlessly to link with yours as you remembered how much you loved this pink-haired angel. She was a socialising expert and had rescued you all right before the silence had slid past the point of no return into Awkwardsville.
Kaminari seemed to share your sentiment, as it wasn’t with only a little relief he began to shower the rest of your band with praise. It was only when he’d rambled his way to complimenting the way Tokoyami held his guitar that Shinsou decided it was his turn to steer the conversation. “Don’t you have a drummer? Did he not want to watch our set?”
“Nah, he said he ‘didn’t wanna watch a bunch of electro emos with stupid hair sing about going to Hot Topic or what-the-fuck-whatever’,” Sero cheerfully announced, ignoring the choking sound the apparently-direct quote forced out of the blonde you couldn’t take your eyes off of.
“Wow. He’s charming.” Shinsou replied, voice dripping with sarcasm.
“He is, isn’t he?” Kirishima sighed, sounding like he’d have actual stars in his eyes if you could bring yoursef to stop looking at Kaminari and check. Which you Absolutely Could Not.
You’d met Kaminari at 1 this afternoon, and he’d been pretty much all you’d thought about since 1:01.
***
“Okay, so, Chargebolt - Eijirou Kirishima, Hanta Sero, Katsuki Bakugou, Denki Kaminari. Plus Ultra! - Izu...”
You were pretty sure one of the tour managers was still speaking, introducing the other band you were sharing this tour with, but you couldn’t focus on anything else. Kaminari. Denki. Denki Kaminari.
The ear you could see was adorned with multiple piercings, and the one you couldn’t was covered with a sweep of blonde hair with a black lightening bolt dyed into it. Golden eyes, pink lips. Not particularly tall, or jacked, but lean and muscled where you could see. A black Fatgum Records T-shirt over a black and white striped longsleeve, tucked into ripped jeans that fell into laced up boots. Were those fingers tattoos? It was definitely yellow nail polish and a multitude of silver rings. Talk about ‘exactly my type on paper’. Fuck!
You wondered for a second who exactly it was who had given this man the right. Then you realised he was moving - towards you.
“Hey! Y/N Y/L/N, right? I heard you guys on Present Mic’s show, the Live Lounge? That was incredible!”
Had your mouth been wide open the entire time he was talking? You really couldn’t be sure either way.
“Hey! Yeah, that’s uh...me! Thanks, I was really nervous but he was so cool.”
Kaminari nodded enthusiastically, bouncing on the balls of his feet. “Present Mic? Yeah, what a legend! We haven’t been on for a hot minute but we’ll probably go back next album cycle.”
You were pretty sure you were supposed to be making introductions to everyone in the room right now, but before you knew it, it had been fifteen minutes and the only person you’d spoken to was Kaminari. A way-too-stressed-for-the-first-day-of-tour looking woman was trying to politely usher Kaminari away to wherever Chargebolt’s schedule had them being right now, but he hesitated after he said a (hopefully) reluctant goodbye.
“Yeah, so...it’s so cool to be working with you! And, y’know, that work is...touring together, so we could like...hang out! Yeah? If you want?”
You ignored your own manager materialising at your side tapping her watch for a moment longer to nod quickly and breathe out a response.
“Yeah, we could, I want.”
Kaminari’s face broke out into a smile as big as the gag Shinsou was doing behind him. “Yeah. Yeah! Great! See you later!”
You’d pretended not to watch them leave the room.
The rest of your band had been only too happy to inform you that you’d failed to pull it off.
***

so i'm just a bit pudgy and get anxious to wear summer stuff and i know i shouldn't but still lol 😅 maybe hcs for deku/baku/todo/kiri/denki with an s/o trying to boost her self confidence by wearing more revealing clothes? what do the boys like to see their s/o in too?
as someone who is also a bit chubby, i very much appreciated this request, i love writing things with soft pudgy readers. they’re just so c u t e! anddd body positivity ya know, you have every right to love yourself hehe. also don’t be so hard on yourself about being anxious to wear something, i still get the same way too when i’m picking out my clothes for summer. it’s totally okay, regaining confidence takes time and you have no reason to rush yourself. i’m proud of you for putting in the effort to love yourself bb! anyway, hope you enjoy my lovely vigilante!
Tumblr media
midoriya:
for being the type of person who pays attention to detail in almost every other aspect of his life, fashion really is not one of them. he’s not one to put an excessive amount of care into what he’s wearing. he’ll try to get his hair to do something. . . decent, but then he throws on a nice enough looking outfit and he’s out the door. he doesn’t always have enough brain function for that, considering it’s constantly running a mile per second with a million other things he has to do that day. so, it does take him a second to notice your change in wardrobe.
the first time you walk down to the common room in a pair of shorts cut a bit higher than your normal pair with a loose t-shirt, he notes out loud that you look really cute and comfortable before asking if you’re ready for your run together. doesn’t really think much about it after that.
it’s not untiil around the second or third time that he realizes this is something out of the ordinary for you, especially once you’ve put together an actual going out outfit that shows off more of your legs, arms, and chest. he’s red from his neck all the way up to his ears.
Holy crap they - they’re so hot - I mean, is that disrespectful to think of them? No, I don’t think so - M-Maybe, I shouldn’t say that out loud, I might sound super weird but, I’ve just never seen them like - they’re so cute, oh my gosh! Ah, right I’m supposed to be paying attention to them! C’mon Izuku get it together!
will then stutter out the most flustered and chopped up compliment you’ve ever heard from him so far. he’s never seen you in summer clothes before and he thinks you look so good, so he’s a little overwhelmed by it.
he literally adores your every breath no matter what you’re wearing, but, well he’d be a horrible liar if he said that your summer outfits weren’t some of his absolute favorites.
todoroki:
shoto is much more observant than people give him credit for, he’s just not as obvious about it as midoriya is. he’s a quiet people watcher, who will silently take in all of the little details about someone or something that has done enough to catch his interest. and you have certainly done more than enough to catch his interest since you are the one he loves.
from day one he has been tuned into every shifting detail of your presence. it’s just not hard for him to tell when something is different with you, especially something pertaining to you physical appearance. so, yes, he immediately notices when you’ve switched to wearing clothes that are more revealing and he will say with a straight face that it makes his knees weak.
the sight of you in summer clothes is never one he thought would knock the breath from his lungs so hard, but he loves every second of it and will not hesitate to shower you with compliments. he was already abundant in the praise of your beauty and personality, but just expect even more from him.
if he ever figures out the reason why you changed your style or if you tell him, he will let you know how happy he is that you are finally seeing what he has seen all along. breathtaking beauty with lips he would kiss breathless.
bakugou:
katsuki notices the second he sees you but won't let you know verbally that he loves your new summer look. his way of showing his appreciation is clear through his roaming fingers. literally cannot keep his hands to himself even if you’re in public, and he’s never been a fan of PDA other than the occasional hand-holding or arm around your waist.
it doesn’t matter how hot or humid the summer gets, expect at least one of his hands to be somewhere on you. resting on your exposed thigh while you sit with your legs slung across his lap in the common room. if you’re wearing a shorter cropped shirt while you’re out, his arm is around your waist and his fingers trail lightly, sometimes ticklish, absent patterns into your soft side. when he thinks no one is looking he’ll press a warm kiss to the top of your shoulder blade.
he knows what its about without you having to tell him and he truly is proud of you for being confident enough to show off whats yours because that means he gets to parade around with you at his side like a peacock with its feathers fanned out.
Hell yeah, this is my partner. Keep your fucking eyes off creeps, their too damn good for you anyway.
kaminari:
very much has to act like the cool guy when he notices your style change because he’s having a full freak out in his head, he just can’t let you know that. but will give you his usual cheeky compliment that you know is entirely genuine despite the mischievous twinkle in his eye and give you a quick wink for added effect. 
“But no really babe you look amazing. I’m digging the new look.”
He’s a complete giddy dork the entire time, walking around with a big dopey grin on his face because, hah my baby looks so amazing and the guys are gonna be s o jealous. can’t wait to brag to sero later.
he likely doesn’t know the reason you’ve gone out of your way to change your look for summer, other than the immense heat, but he does know that he’s super happy that you look super happy with what you’re wearing. and that’s all that really matters to him.
kirishima:
the only one who verbally announces his appreciation for your new look immediately after giving you his usual sweet greeting kiss and pulling back to admire you, taking you all in.
“You look even more amazing today baby! What the hell who gave you the right to be so cute all the time?” he’ll bring you in for another sweet kiss, then shower your whole face in light kisses.
kirishima has known that you get a little self-conscious sometimes, though you’ve never had to tell him this. he’s picked up on the same sort of nervous ticks he use to show when he was a bit younger and not as sure of himself, the ones that he, quite honestly, still has today. and he’ll let you know that he’s happy you’re beginning to feel more comfortable with not just yourself but around him and others as well.
he’s sort of the same way as bakugou. his hands roam a bit more, just because he wants to appreciate the newly exposed parts of you. not to mention, he’s just the slightest, tiniest bit more protective over you. and he wants to make sure others don’t get the wrong idea. you are his partner and his partner only.

hidden in the sand pt. i
in which feelings are discovered under early morning light.
i do not have a crush on shoto todoroki.
the boy in question takes a deep breath, muscled shoulders rising as he starts to shift. his head pops up, a mess of pink cheeks and disastrous, disgustingly endearing messy hair, and he squints at the light pouring in from the window.
all the air is knocked from sero’s lungs.
oh shit.
i have a crush on shoto todoroki.
yeah. this is that story.
you’ve heard a thousand love stories told a thousand different ways, with teary eyed confessions on a battlefield or explosive professions of adoration under a moonlit sky, but this story, however, is not that story at all.
this is a story of an extended hand, a knowing smile, a spot saved on the couch. it’s bumping shoulders in the hall, eye contact in a dark room, whispers over the phone. it’s one boy who never quite learned how to love, and one who has an abundance of love to share.
it’s learning how to be gentle, how to accept gentleness. it’s falling slowly, smoothly, oblivious.
it’s doing something completely mundane, like reading manga at one in the morning on a school night. it’s hearing a muffled bit of laughter, it’s catching the light in their eyes, it’s seeing a special smile they’ve reserved only for you, and realizing: oh shit.
there is no particular starting point, but it goes a little bit like this:
“poor little shoto todoroki. how tragic.”
heat and hate and rage washes over him, suffocating, crushing, inescapable. hands clasp as his ankles, his elbows, his throat. the pressure is unbearable, his skin is roasting, it’s falling apart, he’s crumbling at the seams, he’s—
“there’s nowhere to run.”
it’s too hot too hot too hot—
todoroki jolts up, sweat gluing his shirt to his spine, blanket trapping his legs to the bed. it’s too much, too hot. there’s no air—
he tosses the blanket back and jumps out of bed, tearing the shirt over his head, throwing it as far away as possible as his chest heaves.
“what’ll your friends think when—“
“shut up, shut up,” todoroki hisses, doubling forward until he’s on his knees, hands tearing through red and white hair. “you’re fine. you’re fine.”
it’s hard to breathe.
help, call for help, don't just sit here, don't just—
scrambling, todoroki crawls across the floor, tossing blankets and pillows out of the way. he finds his phone and unlocks it, ignoring the shake in his hands, the way his fingers can’t seem to hit the right buttons, and opens his contacts.
“fine, fine, fine,” he mutters. the clock says 2:37 am. shit. he takes the deepest breath his lungs will allow and hits call on the only name he’s sure might be awake.
one ring. doubles over again. two rings. presses his forehead into the floorboards. three rings. his throat catches.
“todoroki, holy shit, dude, whats—“
“sero, oh—“ another deep breath. “sero. i know it’s late, i’m sorry, i just—“
“woah, woah, slow down. todoroki, what’s wrong?”
“nightmare,” todoroki hisses, leaning back up and clutching the phone with both hands. “wasn't fast enough. sorry—“
“hey,” sero interrupts him, sounding more and more awake by the second. “don't apologize, okay? you’re gonna be alright. listen, you need to get your breathing under control. i’ll help you.”
sero’s voice alone, anyone’s voice at all, makes todoroki feel grounded to the earth. sero is calm and cool as he helps todoroki with his breathing, counting and humming. when he’s finally able to see straight, todoroki sits cross legged on his bed, still gripping the phone tight.
“sorry for waking you up,” todoroki mumbles, relishing in the clearness of his lungs. every nerve still shakes. “um—didn’t know what else to do.”
what he doesn’t say is: for some reason, you always know exactly what to say to help people feel better, in any situation at all.
sero is quiet for a brief moment. todoroki can almost hear him smile. “like i said, man, you don’t need to apologize.” a pause. “you sure you’re alright?”
“yeah.” todoroki runs a cool hand down his face. his lights are on now. he sits back on his bed, shoulder blades meeting the wall. on the other side, sero sits in a similar position. “i’m okay now.”
“if you need anything else,” sero murmurs, voice gentle, “anything at all, you can—you can come to me. doesn’t matter what it is. or what time it is.”
something about sero’s tone, his word choice, something about the late hour, about the nerves still dancing just beneath todoroki’s skin… he smiles, in spite of himself.
they never really talk about it after they hang up. not off the phone, and certainly not in broad daylight. talking about it meant admitting it out loud and—well, todoroki has a hard time thinking about any nightmares at all after he finally catches his breath. it’s something he’d rather ignore. sero understands.
“did you have another nightmare?”
“please just—talk to me. about anything else.”
shortly after that, classes got harder, tests more difficult, and sero turned to todoroki for aid. smoothly, nonchalantly, of course, because sero didn’t need anyone to know that if he didn’t get extra studying in he might just drown. he had briefly considered asking to join kirishima on his study sessions with bakugo before he saw how the blonde would take to literally beating the knowledge into kirishima’s poor head.
sort of unrelated, sero had stumbled in on them in the kitchen blushing under those buzzing fluorescent lights, practically nose to nose.
bakugo was furious, furious enough to deny sero extra help with his homework, that’s for sure. then there was kirishima, who couldn’t look sero in the eye for the remainder of that day.
sero’s still not sure why both of them had looked so embarrassed. it’s not like he hasn’t noticed they’d been fooling around, stealing glances across the common room and holding hands under the cafeteria table for weeks on end now. did they honestly think they were being sneaky?
not only that, but sero’s pretty sure bakugo’ll never let anyone else into his room aside from kirishima. not to study, and certainly not to peek at his limited edition all might posters. sero’s positive he wasn’t supposed to know about the posters, but kirishima kinda has a loud mouth.
and anyway, todoroki is much more patient.
“have you gotten number twelve yet?”
“hm? oh, uh, no. i’m kinda confused on this part right here, but—“
“i’ll walk you through it.”
most of the time, the studying took place downstairs in the common area. however, there were times when downstairs was just too loud. so naturally...
todoroki’s room is quiet. peaceful. also super fuckin’ fancy. needless to say, work is easier to accomplish in the peace of his space.
except for when it’s not.
“sero, focus on your work.”
“wh-huh? i’m focusing! just—“
“you were trying to balance that pencil on your nose.”
“still counts as focusing, roki.”
turns out todoroki makes a great tutor when sero actually pays attention.
sero takes it upon himself to start sharing his favorite manga after catching todoroki in the courtyard curled up with a familiar cover peeking through his fingers.
they liked to read a lot of the same things, they’d learned, but sero always had something new to show todoroki, and todoroki always had a classic to introduce to sero. it was a good back and forth, an excuse to escape their loud classmates and sit in companionable silence and read until they felt they’d go cross eyed.
todoroki sits on sero’s multicolored rug, hugging his knees to his chest. his chin rests on one knee, idly flipping the page of some romance manga sero claims is the best. his eyes find the spidery boy twisting around in his hammock, sticking his legs in the air and shifting until his head is upside down.
it’s an odd position, and todoroki has no idea why he refuses to sit still, but sero dips his head even further until his hair meets the floor, until dark eyes find blue and gray.
then he smiles, and time seems to slow.
“gettin’ to the good part yet?” sero asks, kicking his legs back and forth above him. his face starts to turn a little red. todoroki’s never really seen his forehead before.
todoroki blinks. time returns to normal. he goes back to his page. “all the blood’s rushing to your head.”
sero doesn’t seem to notice todoroki’s brief pause. if he does, he doesn’t spend too much time thinking about it. he smiles until todoroki considers asking if his cheeks hurt.
“you're deflecting. that’s deflecting, right? it’s gotta be. you’re totally deflecting, roki.”
maybe being upside down is affecting sero’s eyesight, but are todoroki’s cheeks a little pink?
it’s an excuse for them both to disconnect from the world, to indulge in something unreal, to explore another world with all its wonders and secrets and forbidden loves.
sero is in the middle of popping ungodly amounts of popcorn when todoroki makes his way into the common area. his classmates are either chasing each other around the couches, already trying to decide on a movie, or on the phone convincing the rest of them upstairs to come down and join them.
sero grins to himself when he thinks he hears mineta’s sly voice followed by a series of warning sparks from their friendly neighborhood bakugo. iida and kirishima’s voices follow soon after.
“do you need help in here?” a voice asks, startling sero out of his half daze.
“jesus, dude!” he chokes, clutching his chest. “you scared the hell out of me!”
todoroki is unphased, sidling up to sero and taking off the plastic covers of the remaining three bags of popcorn he still needs to pop. “guess i should’ve knocked?” he says, lip quirked just a bit.
after sero catches his breath (there’s an unholy screech from the living room that could only come from kaminari), he jostles todoroki with his shoulder.
“i saved us a spot,” sero says.
by saved, he means he stretched two long pieces of tape across one of the smaller couches in a big X shape. it was todoroki’s favorite couch, and sero was tired of seeing him show up last and have to sit on the floor. kaminari had been more than offended when sero told him the spot was already reserved.
sero didn’t see bakugo eyeball him suspiciously.
“i didn't know any of these heathens actually honored saved seats,” todoroki replied, working side by side with sero.
sero grins again, eyes bright. it’s warm, radiant. it’s lethal. todoroki bites his cheek to keep from grinning back.
“they’ll honor it if they don’t wanna get taped to the ceiling in their sleep, don’t you think?”
todoroki laughs at that. together, they exit the kitchen with their arms full of their own snacks. todoroki’s eyes find a giant X made out of tape on his favorite couch, and dips his head a little to smile to himself.
mina and kaminari sprint up to sero, who grins easily at them, too. kaminari has sparks in his eyes, but that might just be excess energy from whatever twisted game of tag they’d been playing before todoroki and sero exited the kitchen.
“are those for me?” kaminari gasps. “oh, hanta, you’re too kind!”
sero turns his arms away, rolling his eyes lightly. mina has already snuck behind him and is trying to tease a can of pop out of his grasp. he attempts to twist, tries to back away before they get their grubby little hands on his hard earned snacks, when he backs into kirishima instead. the redhead is already smirking mischievously before he joins the other two offenders on their quest to rob sero blind.
bakugo blows right past them, naturally. “you’re in my way, damn kids!”
todoroki smiles at that, too. damn kids. there’s a lot to smile about tonight. he takes away the tape X and sits cross legged on his saved spot. momo has the remote to the tv, and jirou is whispering movie titles in her ear.
“this seat taken?” sero asks, but he plops down next to the multicolored boy anyway. he managed to make it to his spot with nearly all his snacks. mina got a hold of the popcorn. todoroki notices, and offers to share with him.
it takes them awhile, but eventually the whole class makes their way into the common area, strewn across seats and the floor, snacks and drinks everywhere. they decide on some ridiculous romantic comedy movie. on their way in, midoriya and uraraka both ruffle todoroki’s hair as they walk past, and kirishima plants a kiss at the top of sero’s head.
sero and todoroki spend the entire night whispering their predictions for the end of the movie, making fun of terrible monologuing, brushing knees and shoving shoulders. it’s comfortable, easy. it’s fun.
“stupid icyhot,” bakugo grumbles to kirishima later on that night, in the quiet of kirishima’s room. “stupid soy sauce.”
“hm?”
“they’re both fuckin’ stupid.”
“oh yeah?” sometimes it takes bakugo a minute to figure out what exactly he’s trying to say. kirishima waits for him, always.
“fucking—dumbasses don’t even realize.”
kirishima feels his lips threaten to split in a grin, sitting at the edge of his bed. he watches bakugo pace. “you noticed, too?”
bakugo turns to him, eyes ablaze as they always were. he’s just within arms length. “of course i realized. only an idiot wouldn’t notice that. and they’re fuckin’ stupid! it’s gonna be a pain in the ass to watch them—watch them just—“
“dance around it?” kirishima suggests.
“fuckin’ stupid,” bakugo hisses again.
then when he throws his hands up, kirishima wraps his arms around bakugo’s thighs and pulls him close. it’s instinct at this point, to pull him closer, pull him out of his head.
they both used to be the idiots in question, dancing around the truth, around what they really wanted.
“give them time,” kirishima mumbles, cheek pressed to bakugo’s stomach. the blond’s hands rest on his shoulders. “they'll figure it out if and when they need to.”
kirishima tilts his head back, observing bakugo’s frown.
“if i have to watch those two losers pine—“ bakugo pretends to gag, sticking out his tongue.
laughing gently and taking bakugo’s collar, kirishima pulls him down until their lips meet. he kisses him like he means it, to remind him that they were both pining losers at one point.
in his own bed down the hall, sero sleeps soundly, curled around todoroki’s favorite manga. he’s read it three times now, but it never seems to get old. just next door, todoroki sleeps with his back pressed to the wall separating their rooms. he doesn’t dream, not this time.

"You can be a hero!" - The Strongest Hero BNHA Game Review
We’re so used to watching our favorite characters fight their battles and anime as we cheer them on relentlessly. We are always on the sidelines and hope they succeed in their endeavors, but we are never in the stories ourselves.
That has now changed with the new mobile game that came out recently based on the popular anime Boku no Hero Academia by Kohei Horiskoshi.
Welcome to: Boku no Hero Academia - The Strongest Hero.
Tumblr media
Today, a week after the global release of the game, having played a little and explored some of its features, we will dive into what the game brings to the table, the mechanics of it and what you can expect!
Makii and I worked together on this, especially since we are both fans of BNHA and love to delve deep into these kinds of reviews.
So to start off, this game has had its global release on the 19th of May 2021 and was published by Sony Pictures Television for the US and by A PLUS JAPAN for the EU already on the 18th of the same month.
Many people have pre-registered for the game release beforehand in hopes of snagging rewards, and only quickly enough the first million downloads were established in a matter of days. No wonder at all, since BNHA is one of the most popular new generation anime. There is a huge fan base surrounding it who are eager to play the game.
Before the global release was initiated, it was released by the chinese studio Xin Yuan on December 3rd 2020, which resulted in many people using VPNs and emulators to experience the charm of ‘The Strongest Hero’. No wonder the game downloads skyrocketed when it was released globally in english (more languages such as german and french coming soon), it was recorded that the players had problems getting into overloaded servers, but those problems were quickly managed.
If you have no idea what the anime or manga of BNHA is about but are still interested, let me give you a quick synopsis.
In a world where 80% of the population are born with mutant abilities called “Quirks”, the job of the superhero became more than just a fantasy in comics. Now, the police are second rate as everyone looks up to the heroes who support and save the world.
Izuku Midoriya, also known by his nickname ‘Deku’, is one of the few Quirkless humans but still admires hero-work like nobody else.
Until one day the tables turn and he ends up with his own new power, now ready to go to renowned U.A. highschool for heroes to become what he always wanted to be: someone who saved lives with a smile on his face.
Now in this game, you are the one who steps into the shoes of a young aspiring hero who wants to climb up the ladder of success and defeat all villains in your way while protecting your people.
Are you stoked now? Let’s find out more!
The Game:
Tumblr media
Advertised as an action MMO-RPG, The Strongest Hero brings not only one but multiple different player modes that you can enjoy alone or with friends online!
Firstly, it’s an immersive story-telling game that lets you relive the actual plot of the anime Boku no Hero Academia so spoiler alert for the ones who haven’t watched it yet, this game will be dealing with the Deku’s story throughout it all.
It starts off with the first episode of the anime, showing us recaps and recreations of the anime but in the game-animation with small bits of interaction to refresh our memory on the fateful incidents that made Deku a true hero. With this retelling of the story, avid watchers of the anime can enjoy everything again from a new perspective, and new people with no knowledge of BNHA can still enjoy the game just as much.
It was even mentioned that the story campaign will be dealing with the contents of season one to three so far, with more already in planning.
So the developers made sure that the game is not only catered to its original fanbase, but to everybody out there!
Now with Deku as the first person you play as, we fast forward to Izuku who is more advanced in his skill set, as he already uses his original ‘shoot-style’ and One for All Full Cowling. You’re now a provisional Hero who just got his license, working for your own agency and completing missions all around town, meaning there is a little skip between the beginning of the game and where you actually start in Honei City.
The open-world is huge and leaves all sorts of possibilities to explore as you not only defeat villains, but also talk to the citizens and maybe even collect trash to fulfill your duty as a hero. Not only Deku is at your disposal, but currently a lot of other class 1-A students will soon fall into your hands! As Toshinori was released as a hero in the last update on May 26th we can assume that there are more to come.
Game modes:
Single player: As previously mentioned, the game will immediately lead you through the single player story campaign, as you try to keep the city safe and sound by defeating villains and completing missions.
There are next to the main-story missions the daily missions in which you ensure the city’s prosperity to get more rewards daily.
With this mode you can play with a multitude of skills and combos and the handling on the phone is very pleasant. With a left joystick on the touchscreen and skill buttons on the right you can activate the swift and powerful attacks that we already know from the anime.
There are also multiple things to do as a single-player as you can collect your daily supplies in several missions which you will need for training your hero, enhancing your gear and more limited to 20 runs for each supply with several difficulties.
Hero trials, commissions and even more features are all available despite being alone keeping you busy for a while, as some don’t even need stamina to fulfill since stamina limits the player in the missions they can do.
And if that is all too much action you can simply explore the city on your own and search for special items on your way.
This is extremely interesting for the ones who like to play at their own pace and alone to enjoy a mix of story-telling and hack n slash combat.
PvP: Contrary to the first mode, if you’re more interested in actually playing against others, ‘The Strongest Hero’ won’t disappoint in its Player vs. Player mode.
Even here we have multiple ways to play, as the Arena takes on a more classic 1 vs 1 feel in which you can defeat other players similar to other fighting-games, or the Super Co-Op battle which allows you to play 3 vs 3.
Soon we will also know what the mysterious War Zone Co-Op entails, as that feature is still to be launched.
Other Co-Op features are also the Agency assessment, the joint operation and Emergency.
Emergency shows us more of the work of a hero, in which you suddenly trigger an event that is of urgent matter and has to be completed with a team of other players quickly. Time runs out, and it is all about the true work of a hero where you have to act quick!
There is truly something for everyone in here
Not just an MMO:
Truly, this game is a lot more than just an MMO, even though its open-world is a huge part of it all.
To get your preferred heroes and play them, the game has a gacha system in place for you to pull for your luck!
Deku is in the player’s repertoire from the start, and his skill-set is very dynamic and swift with less damage but a lot more speed. His comments are just as loud as in the anime, and if that doesn’t give you any satisfaction do not worry! Every hero has his own fighting style and can be explored by playing the missions in which you will quickly deploy Denki Kaminari and Kirishima Eijiro.
The game differs between three types of heroes: Speed, Power and Technical as the three examples Deku, Kirishima and Denki already represent each respectively.
There is also knowledge that there will be Pro-heroes and even some villain characters in the mix.
The skills range extremely from heavy handed to swift or long to short range attacks. Just as varied as the fighting style is, we have beautiful animations that display the Quirks and many possibilities to use them.
Done with all the fighting? Look at the adorable dorm feature in which you can earn more stamina and organize a dorm room for your heroes. You can even make their chibi-versions run around in that room and catch a break from all the hero work.
Although the story might pester you with it’s orange glowing button in the upper right corner, you can just ignore everything and explore the gorgeously crafted open world environment(in most cases).
Yes, you can even walk up buildings!
Of course there is an autofinding feature to briskly get you to where your missions lead you, but if you so desire you can look at the urban starting world and walk around.
Since everyone else will have Deku as their first hero as well, it is incredibly amusing to see all the other Deku's running about.
The starting setting is true to the anime and shows us urban and modern Japan, with a strong hint of technological advancement.
The preset graphics on SD will give you the ability to walk around smoothly, but if your phone can take it, I urge you to at least try to up the graphics to a better resolution. The scenery is truly mesmerizing, and the art style as well as the visual effects have a huge appeal.
It’s even nicer to look at for the ones who haven’t seen enough of the BNHA universe in the anime, because now there are an abundance of regions to explore and the developers have made sure to give us a lot of eye candy.
“You” can be a Hero!:
After all this technical talk, why should you play this game?
First of all, from what I have witnessed as an excited anime watcher and manga reader, the story is catered to include the player.
It’s a lot more different than just watching Deku go through the world, you are actually responsible for how the mission turns out. It’s exhilarating to see characters from the anime like Kamui Woods and Mt.Lady talk to you and ask for help, as they are characters we didn’t see all that much in the anime. It gives the impression to be needed and included which is a great asset!
A hero doesn’t stray away from any work, so yes you will have to pick up trash from time to time or just talk to people to assess situations! Still, there are a lot of cameos of other characters like Hatsume Mei who takes care of your support gear.
Second of all, there is a lot of freedom for you.
From all the different game modes and mechanics to the story and even the split up Co-Op modes, you will have a lot of possibilities to explore and find why you want to play the game.
One thing is for certain, the gameplay has something for everyone and gives adequate rewards to you for every mission or task you clear. Features get unlocked gradually through playing the story and leveling up, which keeps the player on their toes.
One mission quickly leads to another, and it seems there is no end to what you can do, especially in the beginning of the game.
Sadly, that is also one of the drawbacks I will have to mention.
Due to the immense freedom and possibilities, the game bombards you with a lot of information. As a first time player, it’s probably that you will get overwhelmed by the forceful approach of the tutorial, but after a while it definitely gets a lot better in my opinion.
My personal highlights are the gacha system as I love to collect and work to pull my favorite characters, the story as a fan of the franchise and the co-op because I love to play the game with friends. So far I haven’t had the ability to actually play with others, but from what I’ve seen it all has a lot of potential.
Even though we’re talking about a free-to-play game, since stamina is one of the necessities to play missions etc, it is very scarce and often drives one to want to buy it, which is why the game leans towards a pay-to-win game. Still, with a bit more patience and some hard work everything is playable for free.
All in all, I shall conclude that The Strongest Hero is an honest and great attempt at making an anime based game which held a lot of expectations from the fanbase.
The immersive factors are amazing, the animations are top tier and the possibilities seem endless. At the end of the day it’s a game that is playable regardless of how much time you have due to the auto-play-function in many features and can be enjoyed in your personal way.
I hope you enjoyed our take on reviewing the game and give it a shot! If you have played it already or are planning to, please leave your personal impressions in the comments!
What a Co-Op teatime! Hope to see you again!
SUUMASHU!!

Coming of Age
University wasn’t necessary for them. It was a weird thing, honestly, in this day and age in Japan. With heroes and Quirks rampant and in abundance, a lot of schools that offered hero tracks still recommended a university education immediately following.
But not UA students. The best of the best. Almost always guaranteed internships with hero agencies, the likelihood going up if they did well in the sports festivals throughout the years, and the provisional licensing exams.
Lucky for Bakugou Katsuki, he did well at everything. And now that the legal age in Japan was eighteen, and he was literally days away from turning said age, he was...
He’d never admit he was unsure about what was coming next. He already had internships lined up—maybe not as many as Deku or Icyhot—so it wasn’t like he was worried about his opportunities. He wasn’t thinking he was making the wrong choice not going to university. He was a hero. He was going to be a hero. He was going to beat everyone and be the number one hero if it killed him—or someone else.
But besides the hardheaded idiot that hadn’t stopped following him around since first year, and his old hag mom who for whatever reason always had his back, Bakugou felt....alone.
He tried not to let it bother him, and he was sure it didn’t have anything to do with the fact that Deku always got everything.
And this wasn’t about internships or All Might’s damn powers.
Well.
Not anymore.
No, it was about....her.
////
The alarm rang in his bedroom. Graduation was done. Bakugou was back home until his internship began and he was boarded by the company who had chosen him. They were willing to work with his wildness, and three years of Aizawa-sensei giving him dorm-cleaning duty for each ridiculously outrageous bout of angry fighting had mellowed him. Some.
But Bakugou didn’t want to get up today. He didn’t want to be eighteen. He had been preparing for this his whole life. He was intelligent, and sincerely wanted to be a hero. He was ready for the responsibility of it. But the anger and insecurity still burned deep inside him.
He never thought he’d add loneliness to that list.
“Kuso,” he growled to himself as he turned off the alarm and picked up his phone. His damn stupid, sentimental classmates were already sending him birthday texts. Kirishima, Kaminari, even Icyhot had managed a cultured, stoic many happy returns.
Pretentious hot-cold asshole. “Just say happy birthday, teme,” he grumbled at his phone and then slammed it down.
Nothing from her yet. But she was probably being paraded around by Deku like some trophy china doll. Being showered with his stupid, overthought gifts and blabbed at about all of his ridiculous hero analyses and theories.
He groaned and massaged his face, roughly, his hands falling back down to his sides, his palms making irritated little sparks as he thought about her stupid, ridiculous, annoyingly pretty round face stretched in a moronically romanced smile at Deku’s lame attempt at existence.
All Might’s power, Bakugou’s dream school of UA, more internships than him even though he won the sports festivals almost ever year. And now her.
Deku really did get everything.
Squeezing his hands into fists to stop the sparks, Bakugou climbed out of bed and got into the shower, ignoring his mother yelling down the hall that she was making him a special birthday breakfast whether he liked it or not.
In all honesty, he had started liking her first year, though he’d all but denied it then. She was strong—she put up a fight when no one else had. She had a reason to fight, a purpose. She wasn’t just a frail girl.
He’d pushed those feelings down at first, swallowed them, pretty much assuming by the fact that she was attached to Deku’s hip that she’d just end up his girl. And honestly, Bakugou had no time for any of that if he was going to be the best.
But as the years at UA had trekked on, he found himself paired off with her a lot more than he’d anticipated. In fact, if she wasn’t with Deku, she was with him. And when she was with Deku, she was usually also with Four Eyes, too. The truth was, she chose to be alone with Bakugou more than ever with the other two, doing tasks around the dorms together, sparring together, doing projects together (if and when Deku or Four Eyes couldn’t.)
And she had the stupidly annoying habit of constantly talking to him about Deku, or asking his advice about being a hero, or talking about her parents. And she had the damned nerve to ask the same of him, as if she actually cared as her stupid, annoying, adorable round cheeks stretched into a curious smile, and all while becoming Deku’s girl?!
Bakugou punched the bathroom tile and flipped the shower off with a harsh creak as he stepped out and threw a towel around his waist with a growl and a curse. It wasn’t fair. He just wanted to graduate and become the best. He didn’t need any emotions getting in the way—even if she was his perfect girl (both his equal and his opposite in all the best ways).
He didn’t need to go into eighteen feeling both accomplished and lonely as hell.
He was snapped from his thoughts when he heard someone knock on the bathroom door. He whipped the door open, expecting his mom trying to force her rubbery eggs on him (which wasn’t at all true; she was a wonderful cook and she’d taught him.)
Instead, he found a stupidly, annoyingly, irritatingly beautiful round face staring back at him, framed perfectly by the swoop of her dumb brown hair that somehow managed to make her look even more incredibly pretty and always smelled like fruit.
It was her.
“Marui kao,” he breathed in surprise—‘round face’.
Uraraka Ochako smiled back at him, her hands clasped behind her back, her round, pink cheeks flushing an even darker shade. “Konnichiwa, Bakugou-kun...um, you’re...in a towel...”
Bakugou, who couldn’t stop his guard from dropping around her, also blushed and scoffed, rolling his eyes. “You’re the dumbass who knocked on my bathroom door. Chotto matte.” He stepped down the hall, and into his bedroom, emerging ten minutes later in a pair of jeans and a black v-neck, his biceps pushing on the seam of the tee’s sleeves. “What are you doing here, kao?”
“I have an internship interview today but I wanted to give you this in person. It’s important,” she said, and her hands finally came from behind her and held up a black gift bag, a red card barely peeking over the top edge. “Happy birthday.”
Bakugou’s eyes widened, and he froze for a moment, trying to register that not only has she bought him a birthday gift but she had gone out of her way to deliver it in person. “I—“
He never finished the half-formed thought when Uraraka checked her watch and looked up at him, “I have to go. I hope you like it. See you soon.” She smiled and turned, rushing back down the hall the way she came. He watched her back, heard her compliment the scent of his mom’s cooking, and then finally the sound of the door closing behind her.
Sitting down at the table, he cursed at his mother when she shoved a plate of breakfast in front of him. He ignored the food and pulled out the card from the bag, opening it and pulling out the note.
Katsuki,
It’s not how you think it is with Deku-kun.
Please come meet me tonight.
Happy birthday.
-Ochako
Bakugou pulled his gift out of his bag, and despite his usual steely, aggressive behavior, his face stretched into its usual grin—if not a little warmer—and he dug into his mother’s eggs, unsurprised when they were, in fact, delicious.
/////
The UA stadium was quiet at night, and technically Uraraka wasn’t supposed to be there, as she was no longer a student, or competing in a festival.
She heard the heavy footfalls coming up the pathway into the seats behind her, and she would’ve been worried, except she was Uravity and the steps were familiar.
“You found me,” she said as she smiled at Bakugou when he approached her, sitting down in a seat next to her.
Bakugou scoffed, and then smirked. “This is the first place we ever fought. Figured if you have something important to tell me, it’d be here.” His red eyes turned and looked at her, a fang-like tooth visible in his grin—a little cocky, a little friendly and warm. “You’re mushy like that, kao.”
“And how do you know I’m going to say something mushy, hm?” She asked with a smirk of her own, still looking out at the dark stadium, remembering their first fight fondly.
He held up the note, and his birthday present—a small vile on a piece of twine with little gray rocks in it. “You know, I know everyone expects me to be a dumbass, but symbolism isn’t lost on me. I just ain’t IcyHot or Deku, where I outwardly analyze that shit every second of my life.”
“They aren’t the rocks you blasted away during our fight, but I was hoping you’d get the gist,” she said, her brown eyes sliding and meeting his. “Thought you could use some good luck before you started your internship. A reminder of how strong you are and have become. And a reminder I could still surpass you.”
He snorted and rolled his eyes. “Sure. Is that all you wanted to sa—“
He was cut off when she grabbed him by the edges of his jacket and pulled him in, their lips meeting heatedly, battling, moving together, learning each other, before she released him with a small sigh, and looked away.
Bakugou was quiet, speechless, and then he cleared his throat. “Your note.”
She nodded. “Deku-kun is my best friend. But he isn’t my boyfriend. Those are rumors started by tabloids because Deku-kun being All Night’s actual successor is such a big story right now. Him getting scouted and offered internships is big news and we’re always together but I didn’t want you to think that because the truth is, even though I liked Deku-kun in first year, the more you and I were together, the more i—“
She was cut off by him, suddenly, her small, powerful body being pulled roughly into his lap, and his lips finding hers again, the battle commending for several moments before his mouth released hers and his lips tugged upward in a triumphant smirk. “So you’re telling me I best that damn bastard Deku?”
Uraraka rolled her eyes. “If you say it like that, I’m dumping you on the spot.”
Bakugou laughed outright and pressed a warm, sweet kiss to her shoulder through her shirt. “Fine. But I still won.” He tightened his muscled arms around her and mumbled something.
“What was that?”
Bakugou rested his cheek against hers. “Said I think this is a better win than any top internship,” he repeated, and smiled against her skin, “but that never leaves this stadium, marui kao. Never.”
Uraraka’s face brightened affectionately, and damn, if she didn’t look pretty. Stupidly, annoyingly pretty. She touched his spiky hair, lifted his chin with her gentle, powerful fingers, and pecked his lips—a silent thank you for the compliment of being that important to him. She kissed him again, and again, and again, each peck a thank you for the years of friendship and putting up with her. A promise that his soft side would stay between them.
And then, with her stupidly pretty smile, and her annoyingly pretty round cheeks, and her amazingly, incredibly prettt voice, she leaned in, hugged his shoulders tightly, and whispered,
“Happt birthday, Katsuki.”

BnHA Chapter 027: The Ol’ Run and Float
Previously on BnHA: Deku won the obstacle course and made All Might proud while pissing everyone else off. Midnight announced that the second event would be a cavalry battle. The kids were told to team up in groups of 2 to 4, and that each team’s captain would wear a headband with a point value based on how that team’s members placed in the obstacle course. Deku found out he was worth ten million fucking points.
Today on BnHA: Midnight explains the rules of the cavalry battle. U.A.’s first years set out to assemble their teams. Bakugou doesn’t fucking know who any of these people are. Iida wants in on this rivalry thing too. Deku gets off to a shaky start, but actually manages to assemble probably the best team out here, thanks in large part to its abundance of girl power, but also because my bird bro Tokoyami decides to get in on this as well.
(As always, all comments not marked with an ETA are my unspoiled reactions from my first readthrough of this chapter. I’ve read up through chapter 51 now, so any ETAs will reflect that.) 
new volume cover!! lots of kids this time! twelve of ‘em!
Tumblr media
we’ve even got that steampunk girl. SHE DOESN’T EVEN GO HERE
this is the calmest that Bakugou’s face has been on a cover yet, I think. he’s even letting Kaminari lean all over him. he still doesn’t know how to smile, but at least he’s looking at the camera, unlike Todoroki up there in the corner
and we’ve got Ochako up there in the top left! KICK SOME ASS OCHAKO
Deku looks pretty happy and doesn’t appear to be fearing for his life, so we can confidently assume that this picture wasn’t taken during the sports fest! ahahaha
“the boy born with everything” hmm that sounds like Todoroki to me. could be Bakugou too I suppose, but right now I’m leaning more toward the kid who hasn’t had much development yet and whose mystery dad seems like he might be introduced shortly
I freaking love that... [checks the handy dandy character guide] Hagakure is on the inner cover cheerleading with these two
Tumblr media
(ETA: I can’t believe such a cute fucking page was so ruined for me with context.)
okay I skipped past the characters cuz I already know who they are, and definitely skipped past that chapter index. here we go
Tumblr media
seems pretty fucked up to me. do they have twists like this every year? if yes, then why do the kids who’ve watched it religiously since childhood (i.e. Deku) not anticipate that and maybe just shoot for top 5 rather than #1?
well Deku, you’re just going to have to continue to be just that damn good, I guess. you’re screwed otherwise
Tumblr media
even Ochako omg
he’s still thinking to himself that it was just dumb luck that he came in first. by my reckoning it was actually ridiculously quick and adaptive thinking, more than a little cleverness, no small amount of physical strength and endurance, and a reckless disregard for his own safety bordering on the insane! but sure, call it luck
Tumblr media
wonder where all of that GARRRRR energy has gone now. it’s like he was running at 300% for that entire event, and now all of a sudden he’s run out of batteries
okay here we go, some detailed rules
Tumblr media
that’s going to be a lot of zeroes for Deku’s team
glad they designed the headbands to fasten with velcro so that these kids don’t go snapping each other’s necks
and apparently once someone grabs your headband, they’ve got to put it on and wear it themselves, so as long as time’s not up, you still have a chance to get it back
so then Deku won’t necessarily be the main target the entire time. ooh, this changes things. I like this game now
that little shithead Mineta might be a problem if his team utilizes his stupid grapes
and Tsuyu could potentially just use her tongue and be snatching up headbands left and right
apparently they’re allowed to use quirks, but not allowed to maliciously attack teams “with the intent of making them fall.” well what are the rules then. is that basically just a “don’t kill each other” rule and aside from that everything still goes? this opens the gates for some inconsistent refereeing. but I suppose these games are just an exhibition match to show off anyway, so as long as everyone gets to do that, it doesn’t matter as much who actually wins or loses
unless your name is Bakugou Katsuki and you went up on stage in front of a hundred thousand people and were all “it’s me I’m the winner”
or if you’re Todoroki “dad is watching and I just made Deku my rival fifteen minutes ago, so I don’t want to lose to him” Shouto
or Midoriya “dad is watching and I promised him I’d tell the world I AM HERE” Izuku
then you’re probably more invested in winning
so should be interesting
(ETA: actually, getting into the round of 16 really did make a difference in terms of who got drafted afterwards.)
time to start forming teams!
Deku already seems to know who he wants!
Tsuyu or Ochako, Deku. either is good. both are even better
Iida’s also fast! and loyal! (ETA: HAHAHAHA) but the second that fucker gets distracted, his weird hand gestures will get you dropped on the floor right quick
Bakugou and Todoroki would NEVER!! so let’s not even bother with that
Sero is another one like Tsuyu that would probably be really good at snatching bands
anyways, enough with the hypotheticals, let’s scroll down and see who this thoughtful young man actually decides on
heyyy. booooooo we’re cutting to the security staff
they don’t seem to be doing a very good job
wow. these guys are kind of the worst
Tumblr media
“drag others down.” what a cynical fucking take
now they’re talking about how the cavalry battle teaches cooperation. well no shit, just like literally any team exercise ever
these are the most demotivational superheroes I’ve ever seen. the complete fucking opposite of All Might. no wonder he was so desperate to find someone with the right attitude to be his successor
WOW CHECK OUT MISTER POPULAR OVER HERE
Tumblr media
OH NOW Y’ALL LIKE HIM, HUH. I WAS HERE FIRST
Tumblr media
he seems to have someone else in mind maybe?
wow
Tumblr media
“WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE”
wow Bakugou. wow. I may not know all of their names yet, but at least I know... two of their quirks
-- and actually I do know their names! Sato, Hagakure, and Mina! wow! guys! I did it!!!
meanwhile All Might’s up in the stands with his own hot fresh takes on Bakugou, which mainly consist of “he may be a jerk but he sure is talented and that sure does make him popular.” yep. are you proud. he’s still our son, All Might
Todoroki already picked a team while Bakugou was standing there trying to figure out what everyone else’s quirks even are and what exactly is this mysterious “teamwork” thing anyway
luckily he has a good friend who mysteriously loves him for some reason!
even though Bakugou doesn’t even remember his name sobbbbb
Tumblr media
to be fair, I sure took a long hecking time remembering it myself
Kirishima is pointing out that he’s the best fit since his quirk allows him to take whatever explosions Bakugou dishes out
wow they really are compatible. this seriously could take over as my main ship, were it not for the fact that Deku has so plainly been in love with Katsuki since he was three years old
but even so! like, I’ll just nab this little KiriBaku tugboat, maybe, and let it puff along next to my main ride
incidentally, Bakugou doesn’t even know what Kiri’s quirk is
and Kiri DOESN’T EVEN SEEM TO MIND ANY OF IT
Tumblr media
“Bakugou who should you ride?” “idk someone with a death wish cuz I sure fucking will blow them up you can be sure of that” “no!! me!!!”
that’s the pure kind of unconditional Yamamoto-esque love that can withstand whatever pain and hardship life decides to dole out. good shit
so who’s he gonna pick as his final teammate then
guess who doesn’t care who Mineta picks. me
Shouji if you agree to team up with Mineta you will be cancelled by association until the end of this challenge. it’s not your fault, it’s just the way things are
DEKU WHY ARE YOU STILL STANDING THERE. YOU SEEMED LIKE YOU HAD A PLAN. THAT’LL FUCKING SHOW ME TO ASSUME YOU WOULD EVER TAKE THE INITIATIVE IN LITERALLY ANY KIND OF SOCIAL SITUATION
Tumblr media
so then. you’re either stuck with the most desperate peeps, or your loyalest most dedicated besties
Tumblr media
eh, I fail to see how punching something really hard one time and then having your body fall apart would inspire faith, though. please note that your fellow classmates, who have seen your quirk, are still avoiding you
oh! I see a “Deku” speech bubble though! only one non-Kacchan person here who calls him that! :D
Tumblr media
LOOK AT YOU LUCKING OUT OVER HERE DEKU
this was seriously one of his best prospects to begin with. her quirk would help a lot when it comes to avoiding people, and with him having the highest point value to start with, they don’t really need to go after other people’s points
so if he’s teaming up with her, then Iida is definitely the best choice for a third teammate. they work well together, and I guarantee no one else has offered to team up with him yet lol. just gotta watch out for those hand gestures like I said
but before we get to that let’s just appreciate Deku’s meme face
Tumblr media
is this face a meme. if not, my question is how could it not be
Tumblr media
yesss. it’s all coming together now. THE OL’ RUN AND FLOAT
now they’re in the huddle and Deku’s explaining the ol’ run and float plan
but interestingly, he doesn’t intend to be the rider? he wants someone physically strong? well there are a few options then, but honestly there isn’t anyone else here who’s actually stronger than you bud
WOW now Iida’s suddenly deciding to be a spoilsport?!
Tumblr media
YOU CAN REFUSE MY FOOT IN YOUR ASS YOU TREASONOUS CAD. A POX ON YOU IIDA!!!
apparently he’s decided to make Deku his rival too. EVERYONE, RIVALS. HE HAS ENOUGH RIVALS!!!
“ever since the entrance exam... I’ve been losing to you” well then sure as hell don’t expect it to stop now
he’s teaming up with Todoroki. wow. wow, Iida. you wanna be cancelled too because this is how you get cancelled
I’m not actually mad in all seriousness though, I just gotta protect my sweet Green Tsuna here who apparently has no Gokuderas to fall back on except for Ochako, that beautiful, rule-breaking moth
does the math actually work out so that there’s gotta be at least one person left for him to team up with?
dammit who’s it gonna be
OOOOHH
IT’S THE SMART STEAMPUNK GIRL FROM THE SUPPORT COURSE. I LIKE THIS! SHE’S A WILD CARD. GET IN HERE SUPPORT COURSE GIRL
Tumblr media
HATSUME MEI YOU BEAUTIFUL TALENTED BRILLIANT POWERFUL MUSK OX
she says she wants to team up with him so she can be in the spotlight. see, this is what all these kids are forgetting. it’s not really about the points, it’s how well you show off what you’ve got
and she apparently wants to show off “her babies.” her inventions, I’m guessing
PLEASE JOIN US AND BE OUR WINRY ROCKBELL. BE OUR USOPP, MEI
SHE HAS JETPACKS. DEKU!!! DO IT
aww. Ochako don’t be jealous. he needs you, you’re the MVP even if no one else here knows it yet
okay so they’ve got three again. but Deku still seems to think they need one more person
“our formation’s just lacking some power...”
off he goes
who else are you gonna sweet talk into this group Deku
I should probably make a guess so that I can either brag afterwards, or laugh about how wrong I was
he keeps saying power. but most of the obvious 1-A powerhouses are already taken. Sato seems pretty tough, though, and there’s also that rock guy who is like the only guy left in the class who hasn’t done shit. and I think Tsuyu might still be available and she’s a dark horse IMO. my money’s either on her or Rocky Road
okay, this Viktor-looking guy has been making faces and mugging the camera this entire time, and now it looks like he’s actually gonna get a bit of focus here
Tumblr media
and he’s acting like class B hung back on purpose. sure, okay. do your thing then; just don’t expect me to learn twenty more names when I only just got done with this first group after 27 fucking chapters
we’d better see who Deku picked before this ends or it’s a waste of a cliffhanger
oh good there’s one last two-page spread
Deku ended up as the rider after all huh
OH
Tumblr media
I FORGOT ALL ABOUT HIM! NOW I FEEL DUMB. HE’S FUCKING PERFECT, AND HE ACTUALLY AGREED TO JOIN THEM! TOKOYAMI, FROM THIS POINT ON YOU SHALL BE KNOWN AS “NEW IIDA”
THE SHADOW THING IS GONNA BE SO OP OMG. LET’S FUCKING GOOOOOO
BONUS:
Tumblr media
“steampunk-related things” they didn’t even pretend
I’m glad Horikoshi made so many interesting female characters and went against his initial instinct to make several of them guys. class A only has six girls out of 20 people total, so it’s not quite balanced, but it’s better than there being like. four girls. and they’ve all got heaps of skill and talent, and varied and interesting personalities
so the support course peeps are basically the Tony Starks of BnHA
I am so down with this. go on and befriend Deku and make him all sorts of cool shit later on and further enrich the series with your general presence, Mei

all you ever did was talk about her
day 6: canon / AU
note: hahahahahahahah the ninja anime au
more lowkey momojirou
fic masterpost!!!
It takes forever (one week, two days, seven hours and thirty-five minutes) for Momo to find herself back within Konoha’s training grounds — yet again sporting her impeccable white sundress, yet again carrying within her bright onyx eyes a spark of change hoping to bloom with her expectations of a good time to come out of her day.
She’s not alone when she steps through the open fence, through the clear field, and towards the center space; there were more than one with her this time, all with very eager smiles (expectations stacked high, just like her), hoping that something good would come out of the day.
Well, mostly smiles. Someone behind her is shouting a number of profanities. Probably Bakugou-san.
The boy from last time is missing (after her eyes sweep the field of that familiar shade of red and see none, her heart drops to the ground). The thought that he’s back with his family saddens her to the point where she wants to check up on him (because concern rolls off her like a tidal wave, swallowing everything in its path) but the hand on her shoulder stops her from taking a step back.
Kyouka looks at her, a strange smile on the edges of her mouth, pointing her kunai to the very edge of the clearing. There, Momo sees Midoriya-san, smallish figure standing alone. Or was he alone? Another figure shoots from the ground and her gasp alerts Kyouka beside her, to which she hums in her small victory.
It’s the boy and he’s with Midoriya. From where she is, Momo can’t see his expression but knows he’s comfortable.
“That’s enough spying then,” Kyouka says beside her, pulling out a kunai from her back pocket, “come on Mo, gotta train for the exams, remember?”
Momo laughs and allows the smaller girl to drag her to one part of the clearing, where straw dummies have been set up for them to practice on. The boy’s offer plays over her head for a second (let’s do this again sometime soon, not raining, laughter), but she knows that Midoriya-san will take care of him so she forgets about it.
It was better to focus on who she was with now than imagine herself with someone who’d be better with the sweetest boy of their class.
Someone’s shouting behind her, and it takes all of her willpower not to glance back, knowing that it’s some of their classmates hollering at how close Kyouka and she were. Of course, Momo caves in two seconds later, looking behind her to see the smirks plastered on Ashido-san and Kaminari-san’s faces, to which she mirrors before hooking her arm around Kyouka’s own.
This only causes Kyouka to let out an audible eep, but then the mirth that bubbles out of her mouth (that sounds oddly like a symphony to Momo) makes her think that it was the right thing to do.
To her expectations, the rowdy group behind her all gaggle at the display, knowing smiles splattered across their lips.
The meaning is sent and well-received.
A brisk walk away from the noisy shouting, the ha's and ho's of their group now currently engaged in different training exercises, the two find that spot where the clouds roll over the sun, letting little light out as much as possible. The shade is abundant with the lack of sunlight shining but they opt to sit beneath one of the big trees, Narra big and imposing above their small frames.
The training dummies stand ignorant of their perfect spot, worn out from years of use. Momo can’t help but think of how long they’ve been standing there, battling the elements, until she remembers how it had rained only last week and someone akin to unease washes over her.
Kyouka sits down (cross legs, right over left) while she opts for the more conservative seiza (and regards herself an expert when it comes to sitting in that position even though she feels more comfortable sitting just like she is — ah, but she's wearing her sundress and provocation through flesh is never wished for).
Not now, not when they were supposed to be training.
Oh, maybe they’ll train in a little bit. She was to tutor Kyouka on her aim today, explaining the excess of kunais and shurikens that the purple-haired girl had brought.
But that can wait.
Later.

Star Signs
Continued from here [x]
@grcundzcro
Grumbling to himself, Bakugou cracked open an eye to peer at the other from within the quilts he’d cocooned himself in. He didn’t agree to this ‘hang-out night’. He’d been dragged here and, no, not putting up a struggle didn’t count as acceptance. It was late in the night and Bakugou wasn’t use to staying awake so damn long. It was cold outside the nest of blankets and, if Kaminari was distracted, maybe he wouldn’t notice Bakugou drifting off. But no, that would be too damn easy.
“It’s fucking cold,” Bakugou complained, opening the other eye to frown at the other. The cold might explain the abundance of blankets though and Bakugou claimed all of them. “I’m not giving any of them up but if you’re going to complain about it just get the hell in.” Shuffling for a moment to try and unravel the blankets folded under him, Bakugou begrudgingly offered an opening for Kaminari to slip in.
In Kaminari’s mind, hanging out with friends and losing sleep after a movie night or even just lazing around to talk about nothing and everything, was a vital part of growing up. This was, of course, made all the more easier to do by shoving them all into dormitories and although this was the furthest experience away from a Summer Camp excursion for fun filled memories, it didn’t stop the blond from taking advantage of his close proximity to the friends he loved so much.
Then again, not everyone felt the same way he did. In fact, Bakugou made it a point to slip away unnoticed for an early bed time, nearly every night! 
Not tonight.
Nope. Kaminari essentially dragged Bakugou out of his room and into his own hectic environment where the lights were all on, snacks were all laid out, and music played out of a small bluetooth speaker on his desk.
Every once in a while, he had something to say-- dumb or otherwise. Bakugou responded with a grunt, a hum, or some sort of derision, depending on the topic, but he’d begun to notice the other was drifting off to sleep when he hadn’t heard any sort of response upon asking the explosive blond what it was like to be a Taurus and whether or not he considered himself a Taurus or an Aries.
Looking down at the other, he’d noticed him curled up in all the blankets, which, wasn’t too big of an issue, but seeing him all bundled up like that reminded him of how cold he was, too. Kaminari was just good at distracting himself.
He tugged at one of the blankets, but there was no give! Bakugou had successfully hoarded all of Kaminari’s blankets.
“You’re hogging all the blankets!” he’d cried out, expecting the other to give at least one up. After all, he didn’t mind sharing.
“I know it’s fucking cold, that’s why I want you to give one up.” he explained, although this wouldn’t be so much of an issue if his room was just a little warmer, but he quite liked sleeping in a cold room. He got to curl up in several blankets and sleep comfortably.
At Bakugou’s response, he huffed, but instantly lightened up the moment the other invited him into the warm cocoon of blankets and he wasted no time in snuggling up close. Maybe too close, but he combated the slight awkwardness in the only way he knew how. 
Ask a stupid question.
“So. Do you consider yourself an Aries or a Taurus?” he asked with a small smile as he lay on his side, barely a breath away from Bakugou’s face.

Enchanted
For @usikuagani, it’s me, your Secret Santa in @boku-no-secret-santa‘s gift exchange! Hope you enjoy it and happy holidays!!
Title:Enchanted
Words: 2025
Pairings: none
Warnings: mild violence
Summary: In a fantasy AU, Kirishima seeks Deku’s help to bring a bewitched Bakugou back to his senses.(*I'm basing eveyone's outfits and weapons on the 3rd anime ending and tried to adjust everyone's quirks so that it fit in with a kind of rpg role while still having similarities with their quirk)
“I’m telling you Midoriya, there’s seriously something up with him.”
Kirishima’s mouth curved into a tight frown as he made his way through the dense forestry with Izuku at his side. His jaw clenched at the sharp breeze that ruffled the rusty orange scarf tied around his neck
“But, why me? If anything I’d be the last person he’d want to see.” Izuku’s expression mirrored Kirishima’s though his eyes were downcast in contrast with his friend’s fixed forward gaze and worry was more prominent in his features.
“That’s exactly why it has to be you. I’ve already tried to get through to him but nothing I do is working.” His gaze drifted down to the fresh dressing on his arm which he had subconsciously started rubbing. “But maybe you can provoke a stronger reaction in him, even if it isn’t exactly a good one. I know we can get through to him if we try together.”
Izuku’s gaze followed Kirishima’s to the covered wound and then to his troubled demeanour. He didn’t doubt his friend for a second, he knew Kirishima wasn’t the sort to take a joke about something like this so far and it was very seldom that he wasn’t very vocally boisterous and uplifting when faced with a problem. Izuku fixed his own expression into a confident smile and nodded, balling up a gloved fist in determination in an effort to raise Kirishima’s spirits and bring him some ease of mind.
“You’re right! I may not know exactly what we’re dealing with yet, but as long as he has a friend like you looking out for him like this, I’m sure we can bring him back to himself!”
Kirishima’s eyes met Izuku’s face and he could only blink in astonishment, almost flustered and taken aback at his sudden shift in disposition. After a moment, a wide, sharp-toothed grin graced his face in response, he playfully hit Izuku’s shoulder.
“Those are some really manly words, right there! I like it!”
The boys had originally grown up with Bakugou though as they had gotten older, he had become somewhat of a recluse and very much a tribesman who had distanced himself quite a bit from his tribe which lived in the vicinity of Kirishima and Izuku’s small village. Even at this though, Kirishima insisted in seeking him out most days, usually with the village lightning mage Kaminari. He always had a bit of a temper, it wouldn’t be Bakugou if he didn’t but as of late his outbursts were violent and far more wrathful. Where before he would yell and maybe throw a rock or two at the pair if they had bothered him, now he barely let them get a word in before he physically attempted to tear into them with his scimitar on site. Not to mention his eyes had taken on a strange amber glaze rather than the crimson shade everyone was used to.
“This is it, right?” Izuku questioned as they came across a small cave. The darkness that accompanied the shelter it provided ensured that both Kirishima and Izuku couldn’t see too far inside. They could however see the glowing embers of a small fire and the smoke rising out from it. He was home, at least. Izuku yelped as Kirishima pulled him into cover, crouching behind a boulder.
“Alright, we need some sort of plan.” The two looked at each other expectantly and then simultaneously deflated. When did they ever come up with a plan that actually worked, let alone stick with them all the way through. Their best ‘plan’ was usually improvisation, even in the best of scenarios. Kirishima drew his daggers from their scabbards and tossed them from hand to hand idly.
Most people were born with a natural elemental affinity or talent that determined the role they would take up in society, many of which hoped to use theirs so that they could become guardians of the realm, just like the biggest and bravest warriors of their time that kept their people safe and a smile on their faces. Of course if in the very slim chance that you don’t acquire a special trait in your youth, it’s safe to say that you’ll live your days as an ordinary layperson who might take up merchantry or something akin to it. Regardless of whichever category you fit into, once you reach your twelfth birthday you receive a tool unique to you which will assist you in your life ahead and help you overcome whatever trials you may face. This tool could range from a pair of shears or a blacksmith’s anvil to a mighty shield or greatsword. Whatever you were gifted with, only you could truly work it to its full potential and no matter how many times you may lose it, it would always find its way back to you. Clutching a dagger in each hand,
Kirishima put his faith in his blades to guide him as they always had. Beside him Midoriya, who had also been lost in thought with a hand to his chin, turned to him. Kirishima could almost hear the inner monologue of an overwhelming amount of information that Izuku often accidentally mulled over aloud when trying assess how to deal with a situation like this. Creepy as it seemed at times, he was often fascinated by just how much time and dedication Izuku had put into analysing everyone’s individual skills and tools.
That was an aspect of Izuku that he found inspiring for himself personally. As an earth mage, he always felt overshadowed by the abundance of people with flashier powers like Kaminari’s lightning or the nobleman Todoroki’s command over fire and ice and couldn’t help but compare himself to them. And even though Izuku’s strength could be flashy in certain occasions, the fact that he was able to remain so useful through the plethora of information he had gathered provided a sort of motivation to him to fine tune himself both mentally and physically so that in most any situation, he’d be able to help someone, even just one person, as well.
“Have you tried creating a rift or crater beneath him,”Izuku’s expression became lighter as he began relaying his ideas.
“Yeah, but he either sees them coming or - MIDORIYA WATCH OUT!!”
Kirishima grabbed onto his white shirt sleeve and leapt backwards from the boulder with him just as orange flames licked around its edges. Immediately as he touched the ground, Kirishima erected a earthen wall between. They sat momentarily, staring at the wall and still caught up in shock, a brief respite which they were promptly snapped out of by the onset of another blaze against the wall. The pair scrambled to their feet and fled out into the open area in front of the cave.
“You alright?” Kirishima asked, peering at Izuku’s torn sleeve.
“Yeah,” he replied absent-mindedly, scanning the area for anything of use.
“Midoriya,” Kirishima’s calm and clear call to him was accompanied with his signature smirk and confident offensive stance, eyes trained on Bakugou’s movements. “Let’s see just how manly you can be.”
Izuku’s attention turned to Kirishima at this and upon seeing his contagious determination, returned his self-assured smirk and adjusted himself into a battle stance of his own.
“Same to you.”
The quick exchange of support came to an end as a shot of fire parted the two and they dodged in opposite directions. Izuku could see exactly what Kirishima was talking about now. Bakugou could have an outrageous temper, especially where Izuku was concerned, but he wasn’t so impetuous as to start a full on assault on them without rhyme or reason. More than that, his actions were chaotic and incompetent, lacking any of the usual skill and technique that Bakugou so prided himself on. It may have been Bakugou Katsuki in body, but certainly not in mind.
Now there had him in between them both and Bakugou had a choice; continue to unleash his rage upon his childhood rival or his closest friend. The decision was perfectly clear as he locked eyes with Kirishima, recognising the threat from his previous encounters and drew his scimitar from its scabbard to the back of his waist. Quick on his feet he raced for him, ragged red cape flowing wildly in his stead. Kirishima readied his daggers and the shrill sound of metal clashing against metal echoed around them. Swings and slashes were repeated in sequence, the same ear-splitting shriek sounding with each parry. Kirishima’s endurance was wearing thinner with each successive blow. He desperately needed to construct another barrier between them to give him a chance to gather himself again but the relentless onslaught left him with nary a second to even think. Izuku detected this in him too and charge at him, sword drawn.
“Kacchan!”
His yell alerted Bakugou to his attack in time for him to react, dodging and backing away from Kirishima in the process. Attention now shifted to the smaller boy, he continued his attack with the same viciousness as before. Right up close now, Izuku noticed the sickening amber of his friend’s eyes, completely devoid of rationality, gleaming with malice.
Kirishima’s mind raced as he caught his breath and decided to revert to strategy he had tried before that might just work now with Izuku’s help.
“Midoriya, I need you to keep that up for a little while longer and when I say move, jump as far away as you can!”
Through pants and grunts he managed an ‘alright’, eyes never leaving Bakugou. Kirishima studied Bakugou’s movements for a couple of seconds longer before giving the signal, only for an extra quick strike from Bakugou to stall Izuku’s evasion. Now, instead of just Bakugou being trapped in a cage made of rock, Izuku was caught inside with him.
“Crap! I’m so sorry!” Kirishima watched on in desperation as the fighting had briefly paused after the disruption. It didn’t take long for the conflict to recommence the shock wore off. Izuku was growing exasperated at this stage
“Snap out of it, Kachaan,” he screamed in frustration and defiance, hoping that some part of it would reach him, even if it was hate and distaste for him.
“Deku, you piece of shit. Don’t tell me..what to do..”
Both Kirishima’s and Izuku’s eyes widened and a smile was brought back to Kirishima’s face. That was him! That was Bakugou there was no doubt about it! He was still in there, they could still get true to him somehow!
Bakugou stalled and staggered, in conflict with himself, a hand clutching his head while the other gripped his blade’s hilt even tighter. It was at that moment that Kirishima caught it. The dark glow emitted from a small claw on one of the tribal necklaces around his neck. Now that he thought of it, that was a new one he had made recently, wasn’t it?
“Midoriya, his necklace, there’s something up with it!”
Knowing he was too short on time to figure out which one and probably lacked the precision at that time anyway, Izuku swiftly brought the blade down on the threads, strings and beads scattering on the ground, followed shortly by Bakugou himself.
“I couldn’t make sure I’d definitely cut them all without grazing the skin,” Midoriya added abashedly, rubbing the back of his neck.
“And that’s how he really got that mark on his chest,” Kirishima chimed in, a huge smile spread on his face though some would swear there was a smirk mixed in.
The group of friends were gathered around a bright fire as they told stories into the night. Of course precautionary methods had been taken before the storytellers told their tale and a certain blonde sat between Tokoyami and Kaminari, bound with all sorts of materials, from ice, to rock to steel and he was absolutely fuming.
“IM GONNA KILL YOU KIRISHIMA YOU ASS I’M GONNA KILL YOU DEAD!!”
No one doubted that for one second after what they had just heard, despite the lengths that both him and Izuku had gone to for him. But hey, that was tomorrow’s problem.
