Imagines with Taromaru (BNHA X Reader)

I couldn’t resist! This doesn’t even make sense I just had to write something with Taromaru! >.<

Taromaru’s the cutest anime dog I’ve ever seen! So think of it as a bit of a cross-over? Sorta... anyhoo... I couldn’t resist lol this is also inspired by that Teen Titans episode “Can I Keep Him?” and also just think of if it as like 1-A having a tiny puppy instead of a wolf-dog and these are all headcanons with you, the reader, having the sweet little puppy as a pet and 1-A getting to share the experience whenever you bring him over!!

And partially based off of my own puppy who has a bad habit of stealing... certain articles of clothing...

With this one! I will also make separate works with Taromaru as your pet~!

Living in the dorms meant a few things, and one of those was ‘No pets’, obviously.

Except you weren’t always one to pay attention to the rules, but especially not when you found this little puppy just wandering about all by himself, looking so cute and happily barking at you. He was the cutest little Shiba Inu puppy that you had ever seen in your life. And he let you pet him as he gave a happy whine when you gave him little head scratches.

You didn’t see a collar on him or anything, so you decided to give him a name. Taromaru sounded like a good name.

How could you not take this precious little baby with you home? You couldn’t resist as you brought him to your house with you and he quickly became your new pet. Taromaru was so cute though that there were times where you just couldn’t resist and sometimes took him to the dorms, by sneaking him in of course whenever it was lunch and dinner time and took him out whenever he wanted to go outside. You quickly learned that Taromaru was a very smart little puppy as he seemed to quickly adapt to the surroundings of UA and understood that this is where you lived.

You were a lot more cheerful because of this sweet little guy, and your classmates all noticed the change in your demeanor, especially your closest friends Izuku, Shinsou, Uraraka, Todoroki and hell even Bakugo noticed how annoyingly happy you had been lately.

“Hee-hee I just got a really good feeling lately… it’s a new year, and sure some shit’s happened and it’s only the beginning of the new year but still! I have a good feel about it now!” You brushed it off to Izuku, Shinsou, Uraraka and Todoroki, and they didn’t entirely buy it but gave you the benefit of the doubt.

“Mm-hmm.” Shinsou clearly didn’t believe you, but for some reason didn’t wanna press on it.

“Okay, I suppose you have a point.” Izuku believed you a little bit more though as he gave you a smile and as you smiled back at him nervously, thinking that you had successfully lied about Taromaru. Why were you lying about him? Well it was more because of the fact that he at times was IN the dorms and now some of your friends were wondering why their shoes were found outside and then there was last week’s incident with the trash bag suddenly being found spilt in the kitchen.

Iida was furious and there was no way you could come clean about that, but you were acting weird lately and it didn’t go unnoticed by your friends even though you were trying so hard to keep this a secret.

He was your secret pet. Was it against the rules to bring an animal into the dorms? Absolutely. Iida was going to kill you with lectures if he ever found an animal in the dorms, but you couldn’t resist. And it was only sometimes, not all the time! Just on the days where he was being too cute for you to resist and on the days where he actually followed you to school…

One day was one of those days and you realized that he was barking at you as you entered your dorm-room. “Taromaru?! Shhh…! You were supposed to stay home boy… oh… they’re still suspicious about the last time you were here…” You quietly scolded the happy puppy, who was just loving the way you were petting him on the head.

“I can’t just leave you in my room… but I can’t let you run around either…” You whined a little bit as you thought outloud on what you could do for the puppy, and the only option you could do that would be the best possible thing since you knew the puppy would make some kind of mess if he was left inside a building all by himself. “If I let you run around outside… you’d come back right?”

Of course, you could trust the pup to actually listen because he did know to stay within the school grounds, but you weren’t sure just how MUCH you could trust him.

On top of that…

The second you and everyone arrived back to the dorms they were met with a HUGE mess… there was food all over the floor, spilled milk and orange juice, the trash can tipped over and the pillows from the couch were chewed up…

You turned white as all of your classmates took this horror in, “W-What in the world has happened to our dorms?!” Iida was the most horrified as several others also chimed in to express their shock and confusion.

“This looks like the aftermath of a bad party…”

“Looks more like a miniature tornado hit…”

“This tornado has teeth apparently.”

But then the wiser Jirou pointed that out as she picked up a pillow that had been chewed up with the felt and plush exposed and spilling out of the open seams that had been torn open with a sharp pair of jaws.

That made you increasingly nervous as you broke out into a sweat and tried to not say anything, “I-Is it a rat?!”

“Or a raccoon maybe?”

Others started to speculate that some kind of creature was probably lurking about though since some of the food was eaten.

“That’s likely. Given that this has happened before, so classmates please be on the lookout! We’ll have to seriously sanitize this entire building if that’s the case… ” Iida shuddered in disgust at the thought, but he started to think that there must have been some kind of creature, probably a raccoon, in their dorms and they would have to clean the place after they find it. And he put Kouda in charge since he could probably call the creature and urge it to leave so that way they wouldn’t have to savagely kill an animal.

This completely unnerved you though because you had a feeling that Taromaru was still in the building, and now everyone knew that SOMETHING was in here, and it was one thing when only one student was aware of having a small animal in the building with no one else knowing. But now the other twenty-one students knew there was probably a small animal in the building and now the chances of finding him were bigger.

“What’s up with you (Y/N)?”

While you were sweating bullets Shinsou seemed to catch onto how nervous you were, as if you knew something that the others didn’t, “W-What?! What are you talking about?!” You shouted, and suddenly felt more than one pair of eyes on you. Bakugo, Izuku, Uraraka and Todoroki all to be precise as they looked at you for an answer.

“You seem anxious…”

“Is everything okay?”

“You’re acting strangely lately.”

“So spill it already, stop fucking hiding.”

Izuku, Uraraka, Todoroki and Bakugo each asked you respectively, but you couldn’t just tell them straight-up because you knew one of them might tattle. Maybe not Uraraka though, her you could trust. Maybe even Todoroki too since he wasn’t one to follow ALL the rules, although considering his last interaction with a ‘mutt’ you weren’t certain how he’d react to a little puppy.

“Me?!” You pointed at yourself with a nervous grin, “Yeah! Everything’s fine! Why wouldn’t it be?!” Lying was something you weren’t as good at as you thought, now Shinsou and Bakugo were just leering at you for answers… until you screamed so suddenly to try and distract them.

“AHHHHHHH! I SAW A TAIL!! A TAIL!!” You quickly pointed forward so that way they could hopefully believe you as the five of them immediately whipped their heads around to see if there was something there. And with your telekinesis quirk you lifted yourself away from them fast to run around the corner.

“HEY! Where are you going?!”

You could hear Bakugo calling out for you the second you disappeared, he knew it! He knew you were hiding something! But you were going to deny, deny, deny, even if you got caught. Except you weren’t going to get caught, you weren’t!

“Does this belong to you (L/N)?”

You jumped, screamed and flinched when you heard a very calm voice, and saw that it was no one other than Shouji, carrying the tiny little puppy in a pair of his arms. Taromaru looked very comfortable and happy, like he trusted the large boy as he barked happily at you.

“Taromaru!” You didn’t mean to excitedly exclaim his name, because now that more or less was a way of saying ‘yes’, he belonged to you.

“I’m not sure if Iida’s going to like this.” Shouji was concerned and while he certainly liked seeing such a cute little dog he knew that the uptight class rep was NOT going to like this very much. “Okay, okay I know, I know you’re right… Taromaru trashed the place… he didn’t mean to, and I swear I didn’t take him with me! Today… he just… followed…” You nervously giggled as Taromaru jumped out of Shoji’s arms to make his way into yours, panting happily as you pet him.

“Guess he didn’t want to leave you.” He was oddly understanding, and it was clear he was going to keep your secret, for as long as you wanted to keep it that is. “Shouji you’re a life-saver, thanks for finding him, I honestly wasn’t sure if I was going to find him later on once I found out he followed me and-“

“(Y/N)! Where the hell are you?!”

Bakugo’s voice made you freeze and stop mid-way into your sentence as Taromaru whined upon hearing such loud volume, and quickly he jumped out of your arms to run off, “Taromaru don’t-!” You called out for the dog but he took off running fast. Man that little guy was fast…

Shouji wasn’t sure what to say once Bakugo showed up, so he had no choice but to hold his tongue as you tried to look innocent and crossed your arms, “What the hell was that?! Just running off on me like that!”

It wasn’t just him, Todoroki, Izuku, Uraraka and Shinsou had followed because they were concerned for you. And didn’t find that thing with that tail that you claimed to see, but were certain that you had to have seen it.

“We’ll need your help finding that thing you saw.” Todoroki wanted to be polite to you though since Bakugo was just screaming at you.

“And who the hell is Taromaru?!”

Oh fuck, Bakugo heard you say his name?

“Taromaru? What a cute name!” Uraraka couldn’t help but chirp though, even though she was wondering who that was, as was Izuku and Shinsou. They didn’t know anyone named ‘Taromaru’.

“Who’s Taromaru?” You kept your arms crossed and looked away and feigned innocence but all it did was piss Bakugo off. “I heard you! You said it!” He pointed at you angrily, but you kept denying it.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.” You uttered as Bakugo practically screamed in annoyance, “DAMMIT (Y/N) STOP LYING TO ME!”

“AHHHHHH!”

Another scream suddenly and thankfully interrupted as it urged you and your friends to rush forth to find a very scared Aoyama having jumped into a startled and struggling Mina’s arms. “I felt something brush up against my leg!” He practically cried as Mina grunted from how heavy he felt in her arms, “I couldn’t see it… he just suddenly jumped in my arms…!!” She exclaimed, being brought down to her knees because Aoyama was a bit too heavy for her…

“Dammit Aoyama…” She whined as they hit the ground and you tried not to snicker, “So it is a creature.” Todoroki believed you now when you said you saw something, but he, like everyone else, assumed it was a raccoon or even a rat. And Uraraka was starting to believe you too, but Bakugo, Shinsou and Izuku knew better than that.

“That’s right! I thought it was! I know what I saw!” You claimed, ignoring the small sigh coming from Shouji. He didn’t recommend deception but knew you didn’t want to give up your puppy so he didn’t say anything.

“Who’s Taromaru?” Bakugo asked you again, he wasn’t going to let you not answer his question as you swallowed, “A new friend…” So you answered him, and it wasn’t a complete lie so that came off a little bit easier but Bakugo was still skeptical.

“Oh yeah?” He crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes at you while Shinsou was also giving you a look while Izuku just looked worried for you.

“Hey! Look a puppy!” Kirishima suddenly exclaimed, and rather happily when he actually saw Taromaru come his way, especially when the little pup stopped to happily pant up at him. “Oh God! There’s a dog… it’s a dog, hey it’s a dog!” “Awww… look how little he is!” And Kaminari and Sero quickly noticed once they heard Kirishima say that there was a puppy here.

“Arf arf! Arf! Arf!”

“Awww he’s so cute!” Kirishima couldn’t help but fawn over how cute the tiny dog was, kneeling down to pet and scratch the little doggy’s ears as Taromaru happily whined and let himself be pet and scratched. “Aww… he is…” Sero and Kaminari couldn’t resist him either, Taromaru was being so cute that they had to pet him.

Oh no, you thought, hoping that your loud classmate didn’t catch Iida’s attention, although you were glad that at least it was Kirishima that Taromaru ran into. “Puppy…?” Izuku wasn’t sure he heard right, and hoping he didn’t. “Puppy?! Where?!” But Uraraka hoped so, and she quickly ran to where Kirishima was, with you following quick and an irritated Bakugo in tow while confused Shinsou, Izuku and Todoroki followed, as did an exasperated Shouji.

“Oh my goodness! It is a puppy!” And Uraraka promptly beamed when she saw the doggy being pet by Kirishima, “He’s adorable!” Yet the redhead and his friends didn’t seem to stop to think and wonder why was a dog in here and HOW did he get in here?

“HI!” Uraraka just cared about saying hi to the cute little thing as she gave him a sweet little pat on his head as he barked happily, earning a huge ‘AWWWWW!’ from her, Kirishima, Kaminari and Sero.

“What’s a dog doing here?” Finally, the sensible Todoroki pondered outloud when they saw the dog and that’s when he, Izuku, Shinsou and Bakugo began to think that THIS was the reason the dorms got trashed. However, then those four immediately turned to look at you and made you flinch and freeze in fear.

“W-Why are you guys looking at me like that…?” You asked them very nervously even though you crossed your arms to try and look innocent.

“Oh look! His collar says his name’s ‘Taromaru’!” You shut your eyes in frustration when Kirishima read the collar and gave away the puppy’s name which made Bakugo growl and glare at you. You lied… he knew you did but still!

“It’s nice to meet you Taromaru!” Uraraka happily greeted the excitable puppy who was loving all the attention he was getting from everyone, “A new friend huh?” Bakugo asked you in a very irritated tone as you sighed, “I was technically telling the truth… he IS a new friend… that came with me without any permission, I need to take him back home now-.” Rather than explaining yourself, you had to make your way over to get your little puppy before he runs off again…

“You’re not off the hook!” But Bakugo made sure to let you know because he was still pissed at you for lying to him. How could you not tell him you got a dog?! And on top of that you got a dog! A dog!

“Okay, okay! Just let me take care of it!” You exclaimed in mild annoyance, going over to Kirishima, Sero, Kaminari and Uraraka to retrieve the little dog. “So he’s yours (L/N)? He’s so cute…” Kirishima asked you, almost unable to really stop paying his attention on the happy puppy. “Hee-hee, yes he is… I just got him… he kinda stowed away though so… that’s why the place is a mess…”

“Ohhh little naughty guy… wait a minute, so YOU chewed up my shoes?! Aww man…” Kaminari thought it was cute until he realized that Taromaru had to have been the one who chewed up his shoes. “Hehe yeah and Iida’s, and Ojiro’s, and Bakugo’s, and Aoyama’s…” Sero then listed off several ruined shoes that apparently Taromaru had to have chewed up and ruined over the past week.

“HEY! You mean that little shit’s the reason why my favorite shoes are completely fucked?!” But Bakugo was furious when he found out that apparently Taromaru demolished his favorite shoes. “B-Be nice now Katsuki he didn’t mean it… he’s just being a puppy…” You had to defend your pup though especially when Taromaru started whining.

“Aww… well we have to make sure he leaves here without Iida seeing him, he’s going to lose if if-“ Uraraka wanted to help you get Taromaru out of here, but right at that moment is when Iida arrived to see all of his classmates huddled up for some reason.

“What’s going on here?!” He asked somewhat sternly, since they were supposed to be finding the intruder that trashed the dorms, but then he saw said intruder. “Ah! I-Is that a dog?!” Iida didn’t mean to freak out, but animals weren’t exactly his forte since for some reason they didn’t like him…?

“Woof! Woof! Woof!”

“I-Iida! Y-Yes he’s… please don’t be upset, h-he didn’t mean to-.” Izuku knew how much you loved Taromaru, he could see that you really adored the puppy and didn’t want you or him to get in trouble so he defended you and him. “Who does he belong to?” Iida kept his voice level even though frankly, he was furious.

You sighed heavily and raised your hand, “Before you get mad… I just wanted to say that I didn’t bring him here on purpose… today…” You mumbled that last part quietly, “You let him in here on purpose before?!” But based on what you were implying, Iida came to the conclusion that apparently you let him in here OTHER times deliberately, which explained some of the messes and trash littered all over the floor from last week…

So you had no choice but to explain that you didn’t MEAN to let him make a mess, and that it just happened because you let him wander about the school grounds, but that he somehow got in the dorms because Taromaru was VERY smart.

However, naturally you had to endure a lecture from both Iida AND Aizawa and now you had suspension along with a full day of cleaning the entire building top to bottom to make up for Taromaru’s damage. On the bright side, at least you had miraculously gotten permission from Aizawa to bring Taromaru over under the promise that you keep him under wraps and don’t let him make anymore mess. You were more than happy to take up that promise as Taromaru basically became the ‘mascot’ of 1-A.

Taromaru was a sweet dog, and he had a LOT of new love for his new friends, but especially if it was you, and Midoriya, Uraraka, Kirishima and Kouda.

“A-Ah…! Taromaru! Don’t lick me!” He tended to lick Midoriya’s face in the morning to wake him up, even though the wet tongue felt kind of strange. Still Midoriya always smiled at him and pet him, because he took a fast liking to the puppy. He was sweet and cute, and Taromaru kind of reminded him of you because you always made him happy too...

“I can see why (Y/N) took you in…” Giggling a little bit, he found the puppy adorable and was honestly happy to have him as their class’s mascot.

Although he was a little bit difficult for some, particularly Todoroki who was hopelessly awkward with most people, and that included animals. Such a tiny little thing, Todoroki would sometimes just stare at the dog curiously, wondering and almost envying what an easy life he had. Didn’t have to worry about having a quirk, didn’t have to please anyone, all he had to do was sleep and eat, and get pet…

Then when the dog barked at him happily he wasn’t sure what to make of that, “Do you want something?” Like the dog was going to answer him, it was a dog. Yet Taromaru still barked at him, tail wagging as he ran a circle around the bewildered dual-haired boy.

“He wants you to pet him…” You chuckled in amusement at poor Todoroki’s cluelessness. The poor thing’s probably never had a pet though, so of course he didn’t know how to react or respond to a tiny animal. “I see…” Todoroki’s never had the chance to be around many animals, that was true, and obvious.

“Arf! Arf!”

So it felt kind of strange to kneel down for the first time, but you helped him by telling him to offer his hand out for the puppy to sniff. Taromaru sniffed the hand and happily started to lick at it vigorously, an action that made Todoroki visibly cringe as he instinctively retracted it as you snickered and laughed.

“Hey! He licked you! That means he likes you!” You chirped rather happily, which didn’t ease Todoroki’s confusion but when he saw that happy, dopey look on Taromaru, he felt strange. In a good way that It was his right hand that he used, but still. If that little puppy actually liked him enough to give him a lick, then that meant he had to have been good right?

And then the puppy jumped and even put his paws on his legs, which made him flinch a bit, but he still smiled at him, and decided that maybe this puppy wasn’t so bad.

He wasn’t the only one who thought so, almost the entire class quickly took a liking to Taromaru, and Taromaru liked them too. Kouda loved to play with him and talk to him, which made it easy to give him commands, and Satou and Shouji also really enjoyed the dog because Taromaru was very friendly to them both. Something that surprised Shouji because most animals found him too scary-looking, but not Taromaru. So it was nice to have a little puppy rest in his lap and wag his tail at him happily.

And the girls ADORED him and thought he was the cutest little thing ever, along with Kouda’s bunny of course. Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, Mina and Hagakure especially cooed over how sweet and cute little Taromaru was and always pet him whenever he was in the room.

“Arrroooo~!”

“He is just too cute (Y/N)! I love him!” Uraraka had the little puppy in her lap as he leaned up to lick her face, “Ah no!” She playfully squealed as Mina had to lean in to pet him, “He’s too cute! I’m so glad Mr. Aizawa let you let him have him on some days!”

“I know! I just adore him that I can’t help myself… thank goodness for that…” You smiled as it was Yaoyorozu’s turn to pet and love Taromaru. “Oh Shiba Inu are so cute, you’re so cute~.” She was babytalking him, and Taromaru instantly took a liking to her as he nuzzled into her, climbing up her chest so he could lick at her face. “Oh my!” And she giggled happily as Jirou, Tsuyu and the other girls found it absolutely endearing.

“Adorable…”

“Tell me about it…”

Tsuyu and Jirou both smiled as Uraraka, Hagakure and Mina all exclaimed “AWWWWWW!!” at Taromaru’s cuteness, but the guys…

“That dog is so lucky and he doesn’t even know it!! How can that be fair?! Why is he the one getting so close to the girls?! Just because he’s a small animal?! I wanna be the one tasting Yaoyorozu’s face and in her lap!” Mineta vented to Kaminari and Sero with tears in his eyes and a clenched fist, wishing it was HIM in Momo’s lap and licking her face with his hands on her chest while also being loved by the other girls… that should be him! Not some dog!

“Cuz he’s actually cute AND sweet you little creep…” Sero was a nice guy, but didn’t really put up with Mineta being disgusting like this. “Yeah but… I AM a little jealous of that pup…” Kaminari didn’t approve of Mineta being extra gross, but he WAS kind of jealous at how a small dog got so much attention from the girls.

That being said, not ALL the guys were crazy about Taromaru. Especially not Mineta, Bakugo or Iida. “Taromaru! Sit down and no licking!” He often scolded him at dinnertime whenever the dog crawled under the table and licked at everyone’s feet as Ojiro, Midoriya, Hagakure, Kirishima and Sero had jumped due to the dog licking at their legs.

Taromaru always came out whining whenever he was scolding. Iida didn’t necessarily dislike the dog, but he didn’t have the best luck with animals and was a little uncomfortable around them. Taromaru was especially willful as he didn’t really obey him unless you were there. “No likcing Taromaru.” You had to make him stop as Iida slumped in slight defeat.

“I’m not sure having a hyperactive puppy in the dorms is a good idea (L/N)…” Iida had to vent his slight frustrations to you while you were holding Taromaru in your lap after dinner. You stuck your tongue at him while your puppy happily whined and wagged his tail.

You understood where Iida was coming from though, “He’s a bit of a troublemaker I know but don’t worry Iida, I got this… besides… he brings a little excitement don’t you think? Look at him.” You held up your puppy and waved his little paw at your class rep.

Iida HAD to admit, the puppy WAS quite endearing, but he just wished he was a little more of an obedient dog. “Will you be a good boy and start listening more Taromaru?” He leaned in to ask the puppy, and Taromaru barked happily in reply and then gave him an affectionate lick across the nose…

“GAHH!! Dog germs!!”

Ever the germaphobe Iida ran off in horror to find the nearest bathroom as a means to wash his face and get the ‘germs’ off of him as you laughed your ass off and held your confused puppy. “Hee-hee good boy Taromaru!” You had to praise him for that. As much as you adored Iida, seeing him get so flustered and rattled up especially over something like germs.

“Of all the animals it had to be a dog…?” Shinsou knew you were hiding something, but why did it have to be a dog? Now Shinsou didn’t really have anything against dogs, he was just more of a cat person. “I couldn’t resist his face when I saw it! I mean look at him!” You beamed as you showed him Taromaru in your lap as he seemed REALLY comfortable before perking up to look at Shinsou.

“ARF!” He happily barked at the brainwasher, who just gave him a look in return, because Taromaru WAS really cute, but Shinsou was a devoted cat person, and would never admit it because he thought cats were cuter, “Your puppy dog eyes won’t work on me...” Shinsou spoke to the dog as if he was going to get a response, and to his shock, Taromaru jumped out of your lap so he could lick at a disgusted Shinsou’s face.

“Gah! He’s got… dog breath…!” He exclaimed as you burst into laughter at his expense. Shinsou did pick him up so you could have him back, and also wash his face because man that dog did NOT have pleasant breath… and now THAT was the class’s mascot?

Yes. Yes he was.

Taromaru was actually really good for the class, because petting him actually eased the classes’ stress at times, and somehow the dog knew how to be comforting to someone who was having a bad day. And having a little puppy to pet and play with made the students of 1-A feel better and a little happier, especially if it was Kirishima, Uraraka and Kouda, three of the most prominent dog-lovers in the class, aside from you of course.

“Who’s a good boy? You are! That’s right!” Next to you, Kirishima seemed the most attached to Taromaru because he was so cute and so sweet he adored the pup. “Yes he is~!” You sang-songed and baby-talked which infuriated the HELL out of Bakugo.

Unlike the rest of his classmates, he didn’t take to the puppy nearly as fast. In fact, he didn’t seem to like Taromaru much at all. But the puppy returned the feelings because Bakugo yelled at him and now he growled at him and avoided him at every turn.

“What are you looking at mutt?” He would ask the puppy, who angrily barked and then growled at him, which actually provoked Bakugo to growl back at him, until Taromaru barked again and ran off. “Oh sure run away!” He didn’t care if the dog liked him though, not really. It was just annoying that everyone in this damn place, especially you, loved him so much.

Even when he was being a little shit and causing trouble for everyone still, as he was constantly playing about with everyone. And still had an issue with taking shoes… Again. “Uwah! Non! Non! Taromaru!” Aoyama had nothing against the puppy though, but he really didn’t want to have to get another pair of shoes again…

“Ah! Taromaru! No!” Ojiro actually loved the dog, but Taromaru had a fixation with his tail and always caused him pain whenever he felt those little teeth dig into it…

“I’m gonna get you!” Dark Shadow actually really liked the puppy, and Taromaru always wanted to play with him and the puppy ran away with a happy bark as he jumped away from the shadow’s arms. Tokoyami didn’t have a problem with the puppy, even if Taromaru often barked at him (by dog instinct) and constantly tried to ‘attack’ him which resulted in just jumping and putting his little paws on his legs.

AROOOOO!

WOOF!!

ARF!!!

He loved being chased, and you were often the one to chase after him so he didn’t cause anymore trouble for anyone. Right now you were chasing him down because this time it wasn’t shoes he stole…

“Taromaru! Drop it!” You called for him and had him cornered as he had something in his teeth, growling at you playfully as you tried to take back the article of clothing. It was definitely a cloth of sorts, and a light shade of grey, but Taromaru took off running before you could make out if it was a sock or something. And once he took off you could hear your classmates shouting in the common room.

“Taromaru!”

“Don’t look!”

“What is that?!”

You ran back to see Taromaru, having a match of tug-o-war with Sero, but the latter didn’t want to hurt the little puppy’s teeth. “Ohhh please! Just… let it go…!” Oh God why did some of his classmates have to be here?

“Taromaru! Drop it!” Finally, Taromaru got the message and let go, but sent Sero tumbling backwards as he let out a small shout and felt the puppy jump on his chest and then take off running again.

You, Mina, Kirishima and Kaminari were snickering at poor Sero’s expense before you tried to see what it was that Taromaru took and picked it up. “Eek! No don’t touch that!” Your embarrassed classmate cried out as you dropped the cloth, and once it hit the floor you saw it… a pair of briefs…

“Ah it’s underwear… it’s underwear… again…” You blushed quite heavily and averted your eyes as Sero quickly picked up and hid it behind his back, “I-It’s not!” He exclaimed in embarrassment and blushed madly while his friends were all just laughing at him.

“Guess Taromaru likes your underwear…?” Mina asked the mortified Sero who quickly yelled back at her, “It’s not just me! I saw him take some of the others too!” It was true, Taromaru gained a habit of stealing underwear so he could chew it up…

You sighed and shook your head, “I’m sorry Sero, I need to make him not do that…” He already stole a VERY mortified Izuku, Iida and Ojiro’s undergarments, and it was bad enough when he was biting shoes. This became a quick and new bad habit…

“Kouda! Please get him to come back!”

“Taromaru! Don’t go that way!”

Your eyes went wide when you heard Tokoyami and Kouda’s voices calling out to the puppy, who came back quickly with an article of dark purple clothing in his mouth. Something you could only assume was underwear and you had to hold back ANY snicker that wanted to leave you, especially when you saw Tokoyami arrive, looking unusually irritated and partially humiliated.

“Don’t. You. Dare. Laugh.”

He outright warned you AND everyone else in the common room, as Kaminari already closed his mouth with his hands when Taromaru barked happily with the underwear still in his mouth.

As much as you wanted to make a joke, you knew that this had to stop, and thankfully Kouda managed to convince the puppy to let go of the undergarments… but then he went back to run in another direction to find someone else’s…

“AH! Taromaru!!”

The trouble neverr stopped and the fun (and humiliation for some) never ended...

Taromaru was much too quick, and just seemed to be a troublemaker by nature, however, he ultimately didn’t do anything too-too bad. And honestly still served to entertain and put your classmates at ease because he made them all happy.

“You’re a handful boy… do you know that?” You asked the puppy in your lap at the couch of the now peaceful common room, with your closest friends Izuku, Shinsou and Uraraka with you. Taromaru only barked in response as he nuzzled you lovingly, earning a chuckle from Izuku, an “Awww~!” from Uraraka, an ‘ugh’ from Bakugo who just leaned against the wall of the room and a scoff from Shinsou.

“Maybe… but… I’m glad we have him now.” Izuku said exactly what you were thinking, “Me too!” Uraraka quickly agreed with him, and you knew that the rest of your classmates could agree that Taromaru made a wonderful addition to the class. Even if Bakugo wasn’t crazy about him, at least he made you happy…

“So am I…” You smiled softly as you pet the happy and relaxed puppy as Taromaru gave you a very happy ‘ARF!’

BONUS:

“Kaminari…” Mineta was grinning widely as Kaminari perked up to see his tiny friend in the empty common room, along with the tiny puppy staring right at him with a pair of… briefs in his teeth? “Ohoho… are those….?” Kaminari was aware that the puppy had a habit of stealing underwear, but were those really…?

“They are!! This little guy helped me find the motherload!” Mineta happily exclaimed, cheeks red as he held all the underwear in his arms as Taromaru barked at him with his tail wagging. Taromaru knew those scents very well, and was happy to steal them, albeit without any idea of what Mineta intended to do with them…

“Whoa... those are... actual underwear.... you really just... took them huh? Ehehehe... uhhhh… are they at least… clean…?” Kaminari was visibly uncomfortable and flustered just seeing this, his friend really had no standards did he? And had no idea why he even asked that question, but if Mineta was really going to do what he was afraid he’d do he hoped they were at least clean since he was certain that this was definitely crossing a line...

And he cringed as soon as he heard a rather loud, firm SNIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIFF…

As Mineta pressed his nose against the crotch of the red fabric, his entire little body shuddering in pleasure as he gave a huge, trembling sigh, “They are not… no… they’re very not clean…” He gave Kaminari a huge, nauseating grin with blood running down his nose which kinda made him back away ever so slightly.

“So many panties so little time…” The little pervert drooled as he had several other briefs among him that he was shamelessly sniffing and it honestly unnerved Kaminari. Man, that little dog loved underwear, and it wasn’t even for perverted reasons unlike Mineta here…

“I love this dog… he can stay, he is the real hero here…”

“I dunno man… I don’t think-.”

“What are you little perverts up to?!” You sharply and somewhat angrily asked the two boys as Mineta and Kaminari jumped in horror when they saw you with your hands on your hips, looking quite pissed, with an equally pissed-looking Shinsou with his arms crossed.

They were caught in the act, along with Taromaru just barking happily at you as your pissed look quickly melted and you knelt down to pet the puppy, “Aww you’re the only innocent one at all here Taromaru.” You cooed at the little guy which made Shinsou roll his eyes.

“Innocent you say? That’s not true actually (L/N)! He’s the one who’s always stealing everyone’s underwear! I’m the one who caught him in the act and he stole all of these panties!” He claimed, pointing at the pup and then at all the briefs that you DID recall Taromaru stealing, but at least he was just being a curious, innocent dog, Mineta was being a perverted, disgusting dog…

You just glared at the little creep, “Oh yeah?” Might as well punish him by scarring him for life, “I don’t get you Mineta… why are you so vile? I know Taromaru did take the underwear, but that’s just him being a dog, dogs are curious about the scents left on by people they’re comfortable with. You… you’re just being disgusting, humans are NOT supposed to smell each other like that, or at all…” Even though you were trying to chastise him, he was STILL sniffing each of the undergarments he held in his arms while you had to hold it in as you watched him practically inhale the smell of the red briefs, the dark purple briefs, and then the orange ones and grey ones and white ones with a glittery lace…

“Panties sometimes have fallen pubes in them you know that right?” You wondered if he had ANY standards at all, but he just grinned at you disgustingly with blood on streaming down his nose and getting on all the underwear. “Oh I know… but I don’t mind…” His words and expression made Shinsou sneer at him in absolute disgust.

But then he saw you smirking, “Mineta I’ve been around during laundry day, and had to stop Taromaru because he has a habit of taking underwear so… I know whose is whose and… those belong to Kirishima, Tokoyami, Aoyama, Ojiro and Sero.” You finally revealed whose underwear it was Mineta was sniffing as the little pervert’s eyes went wide as he stared at the undergarments he carried in horror…

“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!”

And screamed bloody murder as he promptly dropped them all to the floor, falling to the ground and staring with the most distraught look you had ever seen on him and practically foaming from the mouth as if his soul were about to leave him as you burst into raucous laughter and pointed, “AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

Kaminari and Shinsou were both mildly horrified, disgusted and amused when they realized that it was apparently some of the GUY’s underwear that Mineta had, and somewhat relieved but still disgusted by what their classmate had done. “Ohhhhh dude…! HAHAHAHA! That is SICK!” It was still gross and perverted but Kaminari still laughed at his friend’s expense and pointed at him along with you, and Shinsou couldn’t hold in his snickers or the laugh leaving him especially when he saw you with your phone out, having recorded the whole thing.

“You’re bad (Y/N)…” He complimented you with a smirk as you shared a fist-bump with him, “I know~.” Giggling you recorded Mineta’s expression and then at Taromaru who was innocently panting, “Good boy Taromaru~.” You smiled as you knelt down to pet your sweet, happy puppy who barked at you, all the while Mineta was still trembling and looking quite nauseated and horrified…

“That dog is evil… pure evil…” The grape boy shuddered, and didn’t even notice the rest of his classmates come in. Including the VERY angry, VERY humiliated owners of the underwear who quickly snatched their undergarments back from the ground, only to cringe when they found blood and drool on them…

“Great... he touched it, now I have to burn it…” Sero muttered and shook his head as the other embarrassed and flustered males nodded in agreement, and you made sure to go and tell Iida what Mineta’s intentions were to do and that you were kinda happy that it ended up being the boy’s underwear instead of the girl’s.

“Iida… I think Mineta could use some detention, or ideally expulsion?” You asked the class rep now that you showed him some bonafide proof of Mineta smelling your classmate’s underwear. “Effective immediately…” The taller male muttered as calmly as possible even though he was visibly shaking with annoyance, disgust and anger.

Aizawa didn’t trust to leave Mineta alone in the dorms and clean everywhere, so he gave him at-home suspension for about a week along that required him to tend a one-hour ‘respect women’ class on each of those days. “Atta boy Taromaru.” All you could do was praise Taromaru though, even though you had a feeling the dog didn’t know what he was doing, he nonetheless gave you and the other girls a week off from that pervert.

“Very good boy!” And Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Mina, Jirou and Hagakure all surrounded you and him so they could pet the puppy for being such a good boy and gave him praises such as “Good boy!” “You’re such a good boy!”

You could tell the puppy loved it as he would get on his back to let all of the girls pet him and he gave them sweet little kisses, much to the guys amusement and Bakugo’s annoyance.

“Hee-hee… Taromaru~. I love you~.” You giggled as you pet the little puppy on the top of the head as he happily panted and wagged his tail.

“ARF!”

you didn’t mean to say “I love you” (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

“I love you...”

“What...?” You asked incredulously, disbelief even in your expression as Katsuki just stared at you angrily, form trembling as if even he couldn’t believe the words he just said to you. But then his crimson eyes widened when he heard a snicker leave you as you chuckled and shook your head.

Summary: After everything that’s happened from the war with the Paranormal Liberation Front and after yet another brush with death, Katsuki finally tells you how he feels about you.

Pairing: Bakugou X Reader Warning: Language, angst, mentions of mental health issues, spoiler alerts for the recent chapters Word Count: 11.4 k

Happy early holidays y'all~. Been forever! But I managed to freaking do this! Let's see what else I can write out. :3

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fvj6PE3gN4o

You couldn’t stop the loud yawn leaving you as you fought your way out of a sleeping spell, because you reminded yourself that you couldn’t just fall asleep in a public park especially since you were out with your friends Izuku and Shoto, along with your puppy Taromaru. Whom looked up at you with a concerned little whine.

“Are you tired (Y/N)?” Shoto politely asked, just as concerned as your little puppy was because that was about the fifth time you’ve yawned, and yes, he kept count of it. “A bit… but that’s pretty normal for me.” You gave him a lopsided smile and shrugged your shoulders, even though that didn’t ease his concern, or Izuku’s as he looked at you with worried eyes. “Have you been sleeping well (Y/N)-chan?” He’s been one of your best friends alongside Katsuki, the three of you practically grew up together, and while Katsuki liked to keep his distance, you stuck by Izuku and gladly invited Shoto into your friend group and you liked to hang out with them. Katsuki on the other hand? As much as you adored your boyfriend, you knew that he preferred to be by himself and was easily annoyed whenever Izuku and Shoto were around, and with you especially. It’s been like that lately, but you didn’t get it, you just assumed Katsuki was being Katsuki. “Oh honey I haven’t slept well since I was in kindergarten.” You chuckled lightly, even though Izuku looked a little bit serious, and that made you sigh. “I know, I need to work on it… but honestly it’s just… a lot right now you know? Tests and… stuff… after everything… Guys… it’s been what? 6- or 7-months tops since we got out of a fucking war? And we’re still doing this bullshit? I just wish they’d give us a break but they’re not… makes me wonder just… how long and I keep going… in fact… sometimes I don’t even think I can… I can’t keep up with you guys… and that just… really makes me feel like garbage, worse than that… I just… if I close my eyes, I wish I could close them and skip through all of this…”

Averting your eyes, you stared at your lap when you spoke up a little bit about how exhausted you were and how stressed out you had been feeling because it’s been too much for you. You and your friends literally survived the war with the Paranormal Liberation Front, and not everyone came out of it unscathed. There were things you were never going to unsee, your friend’s terrified faces, Aizawa-sensei’s prosthetic limb after cutting off his own leg, and then your Izuku and Katsuki barely coming out of it alive when the smoke eventually cleared.

You almost lost your best friends; you almost lost your Katsuki… There’s no way you were okay, and it was so hard to go to sleep at night sometimes when you thought too hard on it. It was so hard to even look at your boyfriend without thinking about the horrible, traumatic things he had to endure. Even before fighting Shigaraki. It was just hard, hard to acknowledge that you almost lost him. “Aroooooo…” You only perked up when Taromaru whimpered, nuzzling against your leg as if trying to comfort you as you looked down at the sweet pup, unable to help but smile at him and reached down to pet his head. “It’s okay (Y/N)-chan.” Izuku seemed to follow Taromaru’s lead as he gave you a soft smile, wanting to reassure you even though you were sad, he wanted to make you feel better somehow. “I… I understand what you’re saying, and why you feel the way you do… Believe me I’m… still trying to readjust even after all of that. It was… scary. We got out alive, but it’s almost like it happened yesterday… and I think about our friends, how we fought so hard just to stay alive and keep everyone else alive and-.” As he spoke, you put your arm around him and rested your head on his shoulder as a way to comfort him. Even if Izuku wasn’t the most expressive when it came to his own horrors, he still understood why you felt the way you did. However, you still knew that deep down his own suppressed trauma was starting to emerge so you offered him some comfort, and distracted him as he squeaked at the closeness and began to blush heavily at the feeling of your skin on his. “(Y-Y/N)-chan…!” “I’m so glad we got out alive… all of us…” You said softly with a little smile, that’s one thing Izuku was right about. All of you were alive, and all of you made it out alive. Just not quite the same, everything returned to normal, but some were still having nightmares after the war. Naturally, you gravitated towards the ones who needed the comfort because it distracted you from your own inner turmoil and because you were more worried about your friends than you were yourself. “(Y/N).” It was Shoto’s turn to say something, and you looked up to see him and pay attention, “Midoriya’s right. It is okay, but… it’s also okay, if you’re not okay. What you feel right now… it’s okay. Although… you will need to get more sleep, it won’t be okay if you fall asleep in class, or in a park…” Shoto knew how to reassure you, which surprised you but the boy was more empathetic than people took him for. And he made you smile because he was so understanding, that you felt a little more validated, glad to know that it was okay that you weren’t in the best spirits as of now. You picked your head up, giving him a nod and a smile. “Hee-hee… if I fall asleep in this park… I got you guys to wake me up don’t I?” You made a small joke, and made the two boys chuckle and smile at you, and Taromaru happily barked with a cheerful ‘arf’! “And we have Taromaru to be on guard for us.” Grinning, you pat your lap to gesture Taromaru to do jumpies, as the little pup leaped up and sat on your lap, earning a bigger smile from Izuku as he pet the small pup. Something Shoto couldn’t help but find very endearing, while he’s petted more cats before, Taromaru was a sweet dog, and he took a liking to the little guy as he gave him a small pet on the head. Only to cringe a little bit when he felt the little pup’s warm tongue lick at his palm. But this just made you and Izuku laugh out loud when you saw the look on his face, neither one of you seeing the light pink tinting his cheeks. And neither of you saw nor sensed that Katsuki was around and paused just in time to see you, Izuku and Shoto just talking about things, about how all of you felt, and then he watched the three of you just laughing and smiling together… He watched the scene with an indiscernible expression. He wondered where the hell you were at, and Denki said that you were with Izuku and Shoto at the park with Taromaru. Which alone infuriated Katsuki because you didn’t even bother telling him where you went and he had to have Denki tell him. Now you were with Deku and Icyhot? That didn’t surprise him, but it still bugged him. You’ve been doing that for far too long, and Katsuki began to wonder why them? And why not him? Was it because he wasn’t the best boyfriend sometimes? He had a feeling that had to be why, but it still bothered him. He’s known about your terrible eating habits, sleeping habits and poor health overall. You weren’t the best at taking care of yourself, he knew whenever you were down, and he called you on your bullshit several times, and even though you opened up. You didn’t open up nearly as much as you did to Izuku and Shoto. But why? Why couldn’t you open up to him? Why couldn’t you give him that kind of attention? Why didn’t you talk to him? Why couldn’t you confide in him when he knows damn well about what you were talking about too? All of you were there during the war and witnessed horrible things happening and experienced physical or emotional pain, so why weren’t you talking to him about it? He understood, he really did understand so why didn’t you come to him? These thoughts were screaming in his head as he narrowed his eyes, just seeing you laughing without a care in the world with those two, playing with your dog and probably forgetting that he even existed. He couldn’t take it anymore, he clenched his fists and sucked in a breath before leaving in a huff. You remained oblivious for some time until you and the guys decided that it was a good idea to get back to the dorms. Maybe a good nap would also help, and you had your Taromaru to make you feel comfortable too as you, Izuku and Shoto walked you back to the dorms. “Well… I’ll see you guys later okay? Tell your mamas I said ‘hi’ okay?” Izuku and Shoto told you on the way that they were going to visit their families, they had been doing that a little more as of late but especially after everything that had happened. Which you understood as they both smiled at you and nodded, reassuring you that they would definitely tell them that you said ‘hi’ as they both walked away and waved at you. Smiling, you waved at them as they left and walked back into the dorm building with your eager puppy following you with his tail wagging. Perhaps you should have gone home too, but once you got inside the building all you wanted to do was just go to your room and go to sleep or maybe just nap in the common room because it was closer. Maybe also ask Katsuki how he was doing, since you kind of forgot to tell him where you were going today. Not that you were obligated to but you knew that he would get worried about you and liked to make sure that you were okay, and while you appreciated how much he did care, there were some things you just didn’t and wouldn’t bother him about. Your problems were your problems, not his, he had plenty of problems and you weren’t going to drag him into any of them. So, you gave him his space, and you valued the space you had to be by yourself and just enjoyed your own company, or maybe one or two of your other closer friends simply because it was comfortable. You didn’t want to bother your boyfriend, and you knew that he preferred to do his own thing, even after everything that’s happened, it was just more comfortable knowing that he had his act together. Yeah that’s it, it made you feel better and less concerned as you sat down on the couch and let your puppy jump on with you. Time to either fall asleep or watch Netflix to fall asleep to. “Oi, Shitty Girl.” You perked up however once you heard a voice, Katsuki’s for that matter as you looked around and saw him leaning against the wall of the hall, hands in his pockets and with his signature scowl that made you smile a little bit. “Oh hey Kat… didn’t see you there.” Your tone was way too casual for his liking, and he hated the way you said it. You didn’t see him? He knew it, he knew you had been ignoring him. “Tch, I was standing here the whole time dumbass…” He indignantly remarked, but you just brushed that off as his typical brashness as you chuckled and shook your head. “Hee-hee, that’s my bad… but uh… hey I just got here, was gonna head up to my room but… don’t feel like it, I think I’ll just chill down here… feel free to sit with me and chill too.” It was almost a flirt as you smiled at him, but he wasn’t looking at you for some reason, instead he stared at his feet. As if he were trapped in the mindset where all of those thoughts were screaming at him to fixate on them instead. “Where did you go?” That’s all Katsuki could bring himself to ask you, even though he knew the answer because he was there and he saw you. Except you didn’t know that, and he bitterly thought that it’s because you ‘didn’t see him there’. “Oh… um…” The more you thought about it though, the more you started to feel bad since you normally did tell him where you went, but had started forgetting lately. “Nowhere really, just the local park nearby.” You shrugged it off though, since that’s where you liked to go there often. You and Katsuki liked to go there, just to walk around, but not as of late. Instead you went with other friends, including Izuku and Shoto and he was aware of that because he saw the pictures on your Instagram page of the places you went without him. “Did you go alone?” Katsuki knew the answer too, but he needed to hear what you had to say, hope for some kind of honesty from you, or just to get you to say more to him. Although you were starting to feel kind of nervous about his questions, and you started to wonder if he was feeling okay, but before you could ask, you answered his question. “No, no I wasn’t alone… I had Taromaru with me. And also, Izuku and Shoto had some free time so I let them tag along because I thought I could stand to get up out of here a little bit and I did, just to unwind.” So you could tell him that much? He wondered to himself, but just hearing Izuku and Shoto’s names and the fact that you were just so damn blasé about the entire thing and not even reading in between the lines was enough to set him off as he grunted aloud in pure aggravation.

“Deku! Deku! Deku! Icyhot! Icyhot! Icyhot!”

He shouted it out, the two nicknames of the two people that he couldn’t bear to even hear at the moment and hearing them leave your lips just completely enraged him.

However, his sudden outburst startled and made you gasp with wide (E/C) eyes because you didn’t expect that at all. And you had no idea why he just got so pissed. He looked so pissed, more so than normal but you didn’t even know why as you looked up at him with shock and confusion, but that just pissed him off even more.

“DAMMIT!! You don’t even fucking think about ME anymore!” His trembling fists clenched at his side as he looked at the bewilderment all over your face. Unable to believe that you were that oblivious to him.

“W-What?! What the hell are you talking about…?” You didn’t get it, why was he so pissed off? What was he pissed off about now? Just because you spent time with Izuku and Shoto. They were your friends and you could spend time with them whenever you wanted.

“Are you mad just because I was out with them?” You sighed when you assumed that he was probably just jealous as he normally was. “Katsuki I know you have a bug up your ass when it comes to Izuku and Shoto but honestly you need to grow-.” He seemed to drown out what you were saying, ignoring how much it was starting to sing but that didn’t matter. What mattered is that he wanted to know why you kept ignoring him. He wasn’t even jealous, or at least, it wasn’t typical petty jealousy, it came from a place of hurt.

“What’s the deal... going to places with them? Telling them all of these important things...” He cut you off and asked you straight up why you felt so comfortable talking to them, but not him. He was your boyfriend, while he’d never force you, it still hurt knowing that you didn’t open up to him the way you could to other friends.

But you didn’t know what the hell he was talking about, all you could tell was that he still seemed upset for some reason. “Oh... right, the park… well hey I mean... it’s not like the places I go with them to are places you’d even like, literally you don’t like the theater, you’re not a fan of the pet store and you’re not... wait, what are you getting at?”

At first you were confused, but now you were starting to listen to what he was asking and what he was trying to get across to you.

“You’re struggling in class! And your health! I already knew but dammit... why don’t you tell ME these things?!” He was terrible with his feelings, but he thought he at least got his point across about how much he cared about your health and it hurt knowing that you didn’t tell him about anything you had an issue with.

This you were partially aware of though as you almost looked ashamed for a moment because he was right. You had neglected to tell Katsuki about all of those things, both out of pride and out of shame, “That’s just because I don’t want you to worry Katsuki...” You said with a sigh, these were your problems. The last thing you wanted was to drag Katsuki into them because he’s been through so much and has fought so hard that you couldn’t and you wouldn’t just drag him into it. It was bad enough you made Izuku and Shoto give you the time of day over your dumb issues, you couldn’t do that to Katsuki too.

“Why?” But Katsuki still didn’t understand why you didn’t want him to worry, when he wanted to because you were his partner dammit. He wanted to worry about you because he cared about you, even if he had a hard time saying such a personal thing.

“What?” You perked up with even more confusion when he asked ‘why’? Why what?

“Why won’t you let me worry? When you’ll tell fucking Deku and Icyhot? Why do you let them worry about you? You just don’t care at all do you?” He looked away, fists still clenched and beginning to tremble at the feelings of anger and hurt twisting inside of his chest, and he couldn’t shake it off.

Katsuki didn’t show weakness, he hated it, he always put up a strong front, but the fact that you kept these important things from him, but instead confided in Izuku and Shoto of all people, that hurt. And it hurt even more that you seemed more concerned about them than him, and opted to just ignore how he felt after he had been through the same things they had.

“Katsuki... what are you? How dare you?! Of course I care!” You did care, of course you did, how could he even ask that? You were constantly worried about him; did you ask him about the things that bothered him? Well no you didn’t, but if he wasn’t so fucking proud, you’d ask him more. Except he didn’t, so you didn’t ask him that much because you knew that he’d just get annoyed with you.

“You have a funny way of showing it!” He quickly replied, tone not quieting down because he didn’t believe it. He knew he had this ridiculous pride that kept him from speaking up much, but he still felt ignored by you over the past couple of months. After all Icyhot was proud in his own right, but that apparently didn’t stop you from going over to talk to him about how he felt.

“Really? I have a funny way of showing it? Says the guy who’s ditched 2 of our dates and lets his pride and these dumb pissing contests with the guys get in the way of things. C’mon Katsuki, don’t be a hypocrite.” You almost got up, because you felt like leaving this dumb conversation. Sometimes you just could not with him, and right now you could not with him, especially if he was going to be this way as you shook his head, but Katsuki wasn’t going to let you just walk away from this.

“I get it! I know! But… you don’t even talk to me! You don’t come to me, you don’t tell me anything! I’m not stupid! I know you’re not okay when you say you are, I know you’ve been pretending to be okay for the past couple of months, and I know you haven’t been okay since we faced off the damn villains! And then you… you fucking…” He seemed to struggle at that last part; he was well aware that he wasn’t the best boyfriend to you, but he wanted to make an effort, at least as of late. He made sure you didn’t stay up too late, and also made sure you had a decent breakfast instead of junk food, but lately he felt as if he’s just been getting nothing from you in return.

“I what?” You shrugged your shoulders and raised your arms with an irritated look, wondering just what did you do this time to make him mad.

“You... you got that damn dog!” Katsuki practically shouted, his tone completely incredulous but still angry as said dog perked up a bit, tilting his head in confusion.

“What...? What does Taromaru have to do with any of this?!” You were straight-up offended though, why was he getting mad at your dog now? What did Taromaru ever do to him?

“Stop acting like you don’t get it! After… all the shit that we’ve been through… I know that you’re not okay, you say you are but I know its bullshit… and yet you got a dog to make you feel better! A dog (Y/N)?! Why not me?! You should be holding ME at night, not a dog! It’s ME you should come to if you’re feeling messed up! Not Deku or Icyhot!” Katsuki went on a small tangent, pointing at himself to emphasize that he wanted you to talk to him, to come to him when you weren’t feeling okay and yet still you got Taromaru for emotional comfort and talked to Izuku and Shoto about your problems instead of him.

He was YOUR boyfriend, he’s the one you should be able to trust enough to seek comfort and company from, and yet you’ve been just ignoring him for months.

Finding comfort and company from others. Including from a freaking dog, over him.

However, he winced ever so slightly when he heard a soft little whine coming from Taromaru and he saw the pup looking almost like he was sad. Bakugou wasn’t exactly as close to the dog as everyone else was, but while he didn’t like the affection you gave to the freaking dog instead of him, your boyfriend, it’s not like it was Taromaru’s fault.

“Unbelievable... is your ego really that fragile you pompous asshole?” You did understand, but because of the way he was acting and because you were getting angry, you could only reply back with annoyance and that just made him even more annoyed.

“Are you really that stupid?! Can’t you see what I’m trying to tell you, you idiot?! Do you really think that low of yourself? Or do you just not even care? Answer me that!”

“Stop saying I don’t care! I do! I care about you Katsuki!”

“Well I care about you too dammit!! Don’t you get that?! I know I can be a real shitty boyfriend and I know I have been, but… fuck!” He shut his eyes and shouted louder, seeming to be at war with himself until he opened his eyes and looked right into your (E/C) eyes. Eyes he had taken for granted as he took in your form, the parts he loved about you and the things he missed about you. The way you would smile at him or laugh, he missed that…

“(Y/N)… dammit… I love you...”

It’s not true…

“What...?” You asked incredulously, disbelief even in your expression as Katsuki just stared at you angrily, form trembling as if even he couldn’t believe the words he just said to you. But then his crimson eyes widened when he saw a small grin on your lips, a snicker leaving as you chuckled and shook your head in what sounded like amusement.

“Funny Katsuki... We’re not even half-way through our second year… I mean… no you can’t be serious… no... no way... I don’t... I don’t think that’s true...”

Katsuki was the boy you loved, but you weren’t even sure if it was that ‘real’ kind of love that people liked to shove down your throat. Saying you didn’t know what real love was, and you started to think that maybe they were right.

So Katsuki couldn’t have meant it when he said the words to you right? You were aware that he had been through one hell of an ordeal throughout his entire first year here at UA, so you wondered if he even knew what love was. Or if he was just saying that due to the fact that he was clearly very emotional right now and that this was nothing but another one of his impulsive outbursts that he would just take back later.

“...”

Yet once the silence became uncomfortably apparent you finally glanced at him, and blinked a bit, almost wondering if you were seeing this right but you couldn’t even recognize the expression on your boyfriend. His eyes appeared to be glistening ever so slightly along with a subtle quiver of his lips.

That was definitely not like the Katsuki you were used to see.

Bakugou was not quiet. Not often. He was known for being loud, opinionated and honest to a fault, and he let everyone know it. He could be quiet, but this was a different kind of quiet. It was still, tense and making you increasingly uncomfortable especially when he gritted his teeth as if to attempt to keep his lips from trembling.

“So that’s how you feel…?”

His tone was different, it wasn’t the usual angry, gruff tone. In fact, he sounded like he was almost hurt by what you said.

No… “W-Wha…?” You didn’t want to believe it, was your boyfriend really that upset? You wanted to ask but the blond just swiftly turned his head and took a few steps away from you, and your eyes fell on his back and you flinched as soon as you heard the smallest hitch in his breath.

“A-Are you… are you really crying?! Y-You don’t cry!” You didn’t mean to raise your tone, but you were genuinely shocked. Not your best choice of words, yet still you couldn’t fight the shock, because you haven’t seen Katsuki cry since he was 9 years old. And based on the way his body started tremoring, you were starting to think you were right.

“No!”

Katsuki only got more defensive, aside from feeling hurt by you now he just felt insulted as he brought an arm up to cover his eyes even if he had his back to you. God why was he so pathetic?

But he wasn’t going to let you have the satisfaction of seeing him like this. No matter how much his body and stupid feelings were making him. He hated this. He hated that he was being so weak and then he hated that he was so weak that he was outright showing this much weakness to you.

“H-Hey now… Kat…” You couldn’t lie, you weren’t comfortable with this, but at the same time you felt so bad for him, and then you were feeling even worse when it became apparent that he felt like you were ignoring him. And you wanted to say something and reach out for him, but as soon as he sensed you moving closer, he quickly backed away and glared at you with flushed cheeks and tears in his eyes.

“Dumbass!! Dammit (Y/N) you… you’re such an idiot!!”

He shouted at you, voice cracking slightly through his anger, and he quickly turned away to storm off away from you in a huff as he took off in a fast dash while you could only watch him with wide (E/C) eyes.

“Katsuki!” You called out for him, but the blonde left without another word and didn’t dare look over his shoulder as he just kept running. And you were left with your arm out in a futile attempt to reach for him as you just stood there with pure shock, confusion and guilt over what just happened between you and your boyfriend.

No way, you didn’t really make the ultra-tough guy, Lord Explosion Murder, up-and-coming rising hero Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, Katsuki Bakugou cry? How was that possible?

Tell me I’ve been lied to Crying isn't like you Oh-oh-oh What the hell did I do? Never been the type to Let someone see right through Oh-oh-oh

“What did you just do…?” You asked yourself, even though you were also wondering what did Katsuki just do? Did he mean what he said when he said ‘I love you’ to you?

“No way…” Shaking your head, you fell right back onto the couch to massage your temples when you heard him say ‘I love you’ again. It just happened, yet in your mind it was still happening. The three words echoed in your head like a sad song on replay and you couldn’t bring yourself to change it to a happier tune.

Katsuki wasn’t the kind of guy to just be so open about his feelings or emotions. Crying wasn’t something he did often, telling you his honest feelings wasn’t something he did often. If anything, Izuku was the one lucky enough to get that kind of sincerity from him, not you.

You accepted that thought, even if it still made you sad there was nothing you could do about it, so you thought. “Katsuki… you idiot…” You wanted to blame him for this, for making you feel guilty about something you didn’t want to feel guilty about. Even though you did feel guilty, you felt horrible in fact.

Of course, you knew your boyfriend would never guilt-trip you, Katsuki never played dirty like that in anything. Yet you still felt like one lousy partner, if he was so upset about this that he blew up to you about it because he couldn’t ignore his feelings anymore and call you out on it. You were the one who usually called him on his bullshit, so having it be the other way around was far from pleasant.

A small whine interrupted your thoughts as Taromaru jumped on the couch to sit on your lap, looking over at you with what you believed was concern as he even licked your cheek. “Hee-hee…” Giggling a little bit and sadly smiling, you pet the puppy on the head.

“Taromaru… do you think… Katsuki really meant that? Do you really think he meant to say I love you?” You felt ridiculous for asking a puppy such a complicated question, especially about your abrasive boyfriend that Taromaru didn’t even get along with that much. Yet still the puppy responded by giving you more licks on your cheek as his tail wagged happily.

Snickering, you almost forlornly wondered if that was Taromaru’s way of saying ‘yes’ because you knew Katsuki wasn’t a liar. He was an emotional young man, but he wasn’t a liar, especially not about how he felt about others.

“He didn’t mean that… no… he couldn’t have… why me…?” You wondered to yourself with your eyebrows furrowed as you walked back to your room with Taromaru following you. There was nothing else you could do other than stumble over to plop down onto your bed.

You felt weak, still in shock from the three words Katsuki told you not long ago. It just happened, but that’s why you were still in shock that it just happened.

Katsuki had to be joking, but he wasn’t the joking type. So why did you doubt him?

“I love you…?” You repeated his words with uncertainty, muttering them to yourself as if you were trying to find some other underlying meaning to how Katsuki said it.

You can’t take those words back once you say them. Platonically or romantically. Which was it from him

“I love you…”

Saying the words with a little more thought, you wondered just what did Katsuki mean when he said them. Love was scary, saying it was scary, especially to your partner. You knew you shouldn’t have felt so hesitant about it but you couldn’t help it.

Maybe won't you take it back Say you were tryna make me laugh And nothing has to change today You didn't mean to say "I love you" I love you and I don't want to Oh-oh-oh

So instead of figuring it out yourself, you called your right-hand man and another one of your best guy friends.

“(Y/N)? What’s up?”

“Hitoshi I need your help with something.”

Maybe calling Hitoshi was a mistake, because he wasn’t the most touchy-feely guy in the world but he had a soft spot enough for you so you kinda hoped that he would tell you some decent enough advice or even reassure you with a pretty good interpretation of what Katsuki could have meant.

“He said that?” Hitoshi sounded just as shocked when you told him that yes, Katsuki said those three little words that even made him feel nervous as you sighed, nodding even though Hitoshi couldn’t see it, he knew you were.

“Yeah and like… I don’t think I reacted the way anyone would want someone to… I said that… I didn’t think he meant it, he got upset and then he just left…” The more you recounted what happened between you and Katsuki, the guiltier you felt as you cringed a bit when you heard a little tongue click coming from Hitoshi.

“What’s that Hitoshi? That’s your judgy tongue click I hear…” You muttered in annoyance as Hitoshi scoffed in amusement.

“Look… Bakugo’s not my friend at all, and I’m not on his side at all either but… yeah that probably wasn’t the best way to react to those three words… and to a guy like him? Yikes… his ego is so massive I’m sure that gave it a serious bruise.” He answered pretty bluntly because while he didn’t see himself partnering up with anyone soon, he knew that if his partner reacted that way, he wouldn’t have taken it very well.

“I now right…? God… I just… that’s such a serious word to tell someone… I feel like… maybe he really did mean it… that idiot’s been through so much… he almost died, he still has his power and all and is in one piece but… there was a moment where I thought… what if he didn’t open his eyes? What if he lost the power he’s been so proud of and… what if he wasn’t the same when he came back and just… I don’t know… I really just… don’t want to even go back to anything like that, even if it was months ago it’s like it happened yesterday and…” As you opened up to Hitoshi about how confused you were about what Katsuki said, you also shared how you really felt about him, and he began to think maybe that’s why you didn’t believe him when he said he loved you.

“Now I see what he means, I’m doing it now… oh my god�� you know… I’ve been worrying about literally everyone else… except for Katsuki… I mean I AM worried, I’m worried about him all the damn time but… I don’t know… somewhere along the lines I just… stopped showing it because I have… SO much on my mind, I’m SO fucking worried about my other friends and I’m not afraid of them pushing me away so it’s easier to show them but I… I shouldn’t have just ended up pushing him away in the process…” But then you realized that you were totally opening up to Hitoshi about your problems, and that was another reason Katsuki got upset because you could do this to other people but not him? Well, he did too but you assumed he never really opened up to anyone.

“Hey now… it’s fine really… I mean it’s okay that you feel bad about it, but you’ve been through a lot too, don’t beat yourself up. Look… I wasn’t there when all that stuff went down but… I see what you mean and it makes perfect sense. After everything you’ve seen and been through, the idea of loving someone becomes scarier. I mean… you said everyone came back in pretty bad shape… I remember how you were scared as hell, so… while it wasn’t the best way to react, I don’t blame you for how you reacted (Y/N). But… Bakugo is kind of an ass so… I guess you can explain it to him? Maybe give it a shot… and if he doesn’t get it, just let me know so I can kick his ass.” He and Bakugo weren’t really friends, so he wouldn’t have a problem brainwashing him and kicking him where it hurts should he hurt your feelings in any way.

You couldn’t help but laugh at the thought, even though if anyone could beat Katsuki, Hitoshi can. Katsuki literally can’t keep his trap shut so you were pretty confident that Hitoshi could beat him, but right now, you didn’t want it to lead to that. “Thanks Tosh… I’ll talk to him. I haven’t done that enough so… I will… thanks again…” Sighing, you smiled even though Hitoshi couldn’t see it, he knew you were smiling.

“No problem (Y/N). See you later all right? But… I guess… call me whenever you need anything else…” He ended on a slightly awkward note, but you knew that was just his way of trying to act all cool as you snickered a bit.

“Of course Hitoshi. Back at you… thanks again.” Your tone was amused as he just scoffed before the two of you said your goodbyes and hung up. Only you were left with disappointment to no longer have a friend to talk to and even more disappointment with yourself when you realized how you messed up with Katsuki.

You didn’t mean to; you really didn’t mean to but it was hard. After everything Izuku and Shoto had been through, you were scared for them and it was easier to get them to open up somewhat. Or that’s just what you told yourself, you felt more comfortable worrying about them, and not so much with Katsuki.

He was so proud and strong that you didn’t think you could hurt his feelings. But you did.

He told you he loved you, probably out of desperation to get you to see how he really felt, that he wanted you and needed you and you just laughed at it and didn’t even believe him.

“Katsuki…” You closed your teary eyes when you felt heat pooling in them and wiped any that tried to slip away and quickly went to his number. Calling him would be much too after what just happened, so you just left your phone like that on his number and tried to get your mind off of it by watching TV for a few hours.

You were terrified. You were terrified of talking to him about it, terrified to apologize after hurting him like that because what if he didn’t forgive you? What if he really was going to take it back? What if he was going to break up with you? What if you hurt him worse than you thought especially when he was clearly still traumatized from the war?

The more horrifying thoughts came to your mind, the more you felt almost dizzy as you just stared blankly with wide (E/C) eyes and you couldn’t even hear Taromaru’s barks. Until his paws on your legs made you blink and return to reality as his anxious whimpering and whines became more apparent.

“S-Sorry boy, I’m sorry, I’m okay…” You inhaled and exhaled deeply, remembering to just breathe as you pet the puppy with a shaky smile.

“I gotta talk to him…” Taking another deep breath, you grabbed your phone, it was still on Katsuki’s number and you didn’t call him, but you did send him a message.

‘I wanna talk to you.’

Those were the only words you could bring yourself to text, and of course you didn’t get a reply back. You knew you wouldn’t but you still hoped that he would reply to you back.

Waiting and sitting on your bed, your nerves were quickly becoming frenzied when the seconds and minutes felt much too slow. You could only anxiously await a message from your dear boyfriend if you would even get one as you lied down on your bed, eyes still glued to your phone just waiting for a vibration or the notification sound to go off.

Taromaru lied down right by your stomach as if he could sense how anxious you were, and all you could do to soothe yourself was stroking his fur and pet him gently.

A sharp gasp left you when the notification sound went off, and you instantly sat up from your bed, throwing your hand to your heart in alarm as you looked to see your phone glowing. You quickly snatched it up to see if it was from Katsuki.

‘Fine.’

Your breathing came out in soft little pants, a surge of relief slowly coursing through your being when Katsuki did answer you. But you blinked your tired (E/C) eyes in shock when you realized that at least two hours had passed by.

Taromaru whimpered up at you softly, rubbing his head against your side and reaching up so he could lick your face as if he was trying to comfort you. Smiling softly, you giggled and felt a smidgen more courage to reply to him.

‘First floor when everyone’s asleep? Or my room?’

Nobody was on the first floor at night-time, and you couldn’t be outside the dorm building now that the school’s security had been doubled after the events of the war. So you would have to either talk to Katsuki in private in the comfort of your room or the first floor.

‘Whichever stupid.’

He was clearly still mad and you sighed a little bit as you replied with a ‘My room’, wondering if that was the best choice as you petted Taromaru for more comfort. You were scared when the war between the villains happened, so why were you so fucking terrified to just talk with your boyfriend? It shouldn’t be that hard…

Up all night on another red eye I wish we never learned to fly I-I-I Maybe we should just try To tell ourselves a good lie I didn't mean to make you cry I-I-I

The rest of the day was awkward. Even on the moments you and Katsuki crossed paths, neither one of you could bring yourselves to say anything. You both agreed to talk in your rooms and that was that. Which is why having dinner with the others wasn’t very comfortable because you could both feel each other’s presences when you were in the same rooms.

You had to ignore it though, for now you had to pretend in front of your friends and classmates that everything was okay and that nothing was on your mind. Just as you had been for the past couple of months, so it shouldn’t have been hard.

Thankfully they all brought it, except maybe Izuku and Shoto, but this time they didn’t ask about it since they had the uncanny ability to tell that this issue wasn’t quite like the ones you shared with them earlier today.

Although you ate as much as you could, your stomach still had butterflies because you were finally going to talk to your boyfriend after what felt like months. Even the small talk the two of you made wasn’t much talking, the more you thought about it, it has been a while since you had a real, thoughtful conversation with Katsuki. And that was why he was so angry with you, something that still shocked you but that’s what it was.

You just hoped that Katsuki had cooled down somewhat after the argument you both had today. Once everyone else turned in, that was your cue to just go back to your room, with Taromaru in tow as he followed right by your side.

A small, but sharp gasp left you though as you picked your head up to see no one other than your Katsuki leaning on the wall right next to your door, just waiting for you. How long had he been there? You wondered, but now you were a mix of nervous and relieved. Nervous because you could still see the scowl on his face, and it made you wonder if he was still angry with you, and relieved because he was really here and had enough maturity to come to you despite his visible anger.

“Hey Kat.” You spoke and gave him a small wave when you got close enough to him, and although you didn’t expect an answer, Katsuki surprised you by giving you a small huff in response.

You opened the door for him to let him into your room, and you also wondered how long it’s been since you last had him in your room as he took a seat on your chair and you sat on your bed. How pitiful. Katsuki wasn’t a perfect boyfriend, and you liked to complain about that, but this just made you realize that you weren’t exactly an ideal partner either.

But that’s why you were both here, to hopefully talk about it in a peaceful manner without arguing. Taromaru was here to ease your anxiety, you just hoped Katsuki wouldn’t be bothered by that, but he was more mature than that despite what he said about the dog earlier.

“I think a talk between us is long overdue…” You spoke up to break the uncomfortable silence because you knew Katsuki wasn’t going to do that.

“Now you wanna talk?” He asked somewhat bitterly, hands in his pockets as he didn’t even look over at you as you crossed your arms nervously with a sigh.

“Yes… we… haven’t done that enough, and… that’s partially my fault…” Now you lost the ability to look at him, and of course hearing you say that actually made your boyfriend glance over at you. “I’m not… trying to excuse myself, at all Katsuki. What I said earlier, I meant it… the part about my problems at least, I thought… by not saying anything at all, would make it easier on you. You’re a very busy guy, you’ve been through enough already from last year… it’s been a few months but… I didn’t want to just dump all my problems on you…” As you began your explanation, you fought the irritation when you heard Katsuki scoff.

“Yet that doesn’t stop you from dumping all your problems on Deku and Icyhot, and the other extras…” He reminded you with a small growl, the truth was he didn’t see it as you dumping your problems on someone, instead he just saw it as you opening up to and confiding in everyone else but him. Your boyfriend.

“I know…” You didn’t want to fight with him, so you didn’t. He wasn’t wrong either way, “I hate thinking that’s what I do… but I know that I… confide in them more I just… I don’t know, it’s stupid… it’s not fair to you…”

Katsuki’s eyes narrowed, he didn’t want you to think he didn’t WANT you to confide in your friends, he just wanted you to confide in him a little more, “Those morons are your friends… I just can’t believe you don’t even think that you could talk to me too…” He grumbled in slight embarrassment, even though he’s embarrassed himself plenty today by nearly falling apart in front of you earlier.

However, those were the right words for you to hear as you couldn’t help but sigh in slight relief. You knew Katsuki wasn’t the type of guy to just tell you what you couldn’t do. So, he was just hurt, but because you were the one that he felt hurt by. You didn’t mean to hurt his feelings like that, but you did it.

“I can’t believe it either…”

“So what the hell (Y/N)?” He gruffly asked, awaiting your answer so he could know just what was so wrong that you felt the need to hide all of your problems from him and leave him out of important things that he DID care about. “Why are you leaving me out of things in your life that matter?”

His question stung as you knew you had to give him an answer, he deserved that much and you couldn’t just not talk when you said you wanted to have this talk with him. It didn’t make it any less nerve-wracking though as you inhaled and exhaled. You didn’t expect him to take mercy on you but you could see a glimmer of concern in his displeased expression.

“Katsuki I’m sorry…” You began with an apology, knowing that he did deserve an apology first, “I’m sorry that I… I made you feel like I was ignoring you… I swear I never meant to…” Shaking your head, you braved up to actually look him in the eyes.

“I didn’t mean to make you feel like I didn’t care about you, I care about you… so much… I know it feels like I don’t, but I do… I really, really do and…” Swallowing hard, you had to calm yourself down so you could try and explain it to him.

“I just…” You sighed as you began, voice and figure trembling as you knew this had to be said, “I don’t feel like… talking to you about my problems is the right thing to do… to… tell you everything that’s wrong with me when… it’s hard… it’s hard enough knowing that you’ve gone through… so much worse than I have.” You averted his eyes for a moment, unable to see his slightly indignant look.

Maybe won't you take it back Say you were tryna make me laugh And nothing has to change today You didn't mean to say "I love you" I love you and I don't want to Oh-oh-oh

“Katsuki… you’re a proud guy. I don’t want to make you feel like… I’m undermining you or bruising your pride by making you open up too. Because… I’ve tried, and… when none of those attempts worked, I thought… it would just be better for me to let it be, and only give you what you needed when you came for it. I wanted to be… someone you could count on for a ‘pick me up’ or someone you can hug when you need one. And that’s what I did, but I never… sought you out because… I didn’t want to bruise your pride by doing that, I let you have your space, as you let me have mine.” You explained as best as you could only the first half as you finally glanced into his eyes. His expression hard to read although his eyes were still narrowed as he seemed to permanently looked irritated.

He probably was, but you didn’t know that he was taking your words into consideration. He was pissed at you for closing yourself off, but thinking about what you said just made him remember that he closed himself off just as much, if not more so than you.

“I thought I was putting you first, by giving you what you needed from me and supporting you from the sidelines while I took care of my own things, did things by myself so it didn’t… inconvenience you. With everything that was going on, I thought that I couldn’t possibly bother you with anything going on with me, I knew that you wouldn’t just brush off any issue I brought up but… I still didn’t bring anything up, I wanted to deal with my own problems, I wasn’t going to make my problems yours… and… especially after what we have been through? No way… you’ve been through… too much for me to bother you… and… honestly that’s another thing…” Your (E/C) eyes dulled the more you thought about how the aftermath of the war had really impacted you and the fact that school hadn’t ceased to stress you out.

Katsuki was heeding your words, and as angry as he wanted to be at you for thinking that, he could tell that you really believed that you would just be a problem if you opened up about your problems. He was hurt, but now he had to take a little time to try and understand that. He knew he wasn’t the best boyfriend, he knew he had his own issues and that they had affected you, and that’s something you were afraid of which had inadvertently lead you to neglecting him.

“When… when you said…” You almost couldn’t speak though when you thought about how Katsuki said those words, a thought that made your face warm as Katsuki himself began to blush and grunt lowly. He still couldn’t believe he was dumb enough to tell you that…

“When you said that you loved me that just… that was really fucking scary…”

You were fucking scared. Fucking scared of the words ‘I love you’, because there was no way to take those words back once you said it. And Katsuki told them to you, whether he meant it or not, there’s no way he could take it back.

“Katsuki… I’m… fucking scared… when you say you love someone… and even if you mean it… it’s just so painful. After I almost lost you, I knew that… I did… I really did… l-love you a-and… when you love someone… i-it’s just something else you can lose… that war… really made me realize that… there’s no guarantee… what if I really had… lost you? I don’t… I don’t want to imagine it.” You willed your voice to remain steady despite the tears threatening to form as you inhaled and exhaled to keep breathing, something that didn’t go unnoticed by Katsuki.

“Loving someone changes things… it changes everything, after the things we’ve been through… and… it makes me realize… so many things that hurt and yet… I want that at the same time… God… it makes no sense but… Katsuki…” Biting your bottom lip, you wiped at your eyes to stop any tears that wanted to sneak up and fall.

“I’m afraid because I… I do love you too…” Your tears shined in your glossy (E/C) eyes as one traitorous tear dripped down your face as Katsuki’s eyes only slightly widened as soon as you said the same words. A little late, but still.

But he hated seeing you cry, he hated how miserable you looked, and he almost regretted making you talk to him like this. But he had been wanting to talk to you so he could make you feel better somehow and let you know that he does care about you and wants you to be okay.

“And I’m afraid of that…” Chuckling ruefully you tried to smile at him, but it was wobbly and weak as he scoffed in response. He didn’t want to be insensitive, but that was simply part of his nature.

“Because I’m a shitty boyfriend?” He asked you after your explanation, and you blinked some tears in bewilderment at his response. “You know it’s true.” He hated admitting it, but it was true. He shouldn’t have acted like such a jerk to you and pushed you away like he had done before, because while you were still with him, you ended up pushing him away too.

He knew that it was his fault too though, “I’m surprised you’ve put up with me for this long Shitty Girl.” He admitted that too, because he knew that he wasn’t the best partner to you, but the fact that you were still with him even after all of that meant that you meant what you had said.

You meant when you said that you loved him, just as he had meant when he said that he loved you.

“I hate… feeling so weak, more than anything… I can’t fucking stand it… the Sludge Villain, when the league of villains had me… when All-Might…” As Katsuki for once began to tell you even more about how he felt, you saw him grunt and struggle to even say how he felt at his lowest when All-Might had to retire. Because of his weakness, because he couldn’t even save himself and it caused his hero to go into retirement.

“When All-Might had to retire… because of me. Then… when damn Deku… went after that guy…” He willingly let himself get hit, to save Izuku and you knew it. But you couldn’t even look at him after he endured such a fatal wound that you were glad hadn’t killed him. Yet still, even in that moment Katsuki felt so weak for being unable to do anything else.

And now he felt so weak for even showing you a little bit of weakness, crying like an idiot and complaining to you about you not giving him attention when he didn’t give you enough attention either.

“I’m so fucking pathetic… it’s not even your fault…” He grabbed at his hair when he thought he was going to break even just a little bit, but then he felt your hand on his shoulder as you gave him a soft, concerned look.

“You are NOT pathetic… and you are NOT weak… everything that happened was beyond anyone’s control… just because they happened… doesn’t mean it’s your fault but Katsuki… it’s okay to FEEL weak… it’s not okay to think you ARE weak because you’re not… you’re the strongest man I know…” Placing your hands on his shoulders, you looked him in the eyes to tell him how much you admired him.

Katsuki was visibly shocked, touched, but also skeptical, like he didn’t or he couldn’t believe you. “Yes I am! I-I can’t even handle it when you don’t give me a little attention even though I’m the asshole who didn’t give YOU attention, dammit! I just fuck everything up…!” He raised his voice, but there was no anger towards you, it was all aimed at himself. There was anger, anguish and so much self-loathing it broke your heart.

“I meant what I said… I do love you but… you’re also right… I had no idea where you even were. I had no idea if you were even okay, if a damn villain got to you or not… when it was all over, all I could think about is that if you got hurt… it would have been my fault because I didn’t do a damn thing to help you…” Katsuki recalled what he could even though he faded in and out of consciousness after the war had ended and he remembered seeing your face when he and Izuku eventually woke up.

He was so relieved to see you alive and well with a few cuts and scratches, but what if it were worse? What if you had been one of the casualties and weren’t so lucky?

“I hate this feeling so fucking much… I hate that loving you makes me feel like this… it’s not even your fault… I-I just… I hate the thought of losing you… I hate being scared of losing you and I hate that I’m a shitty boyfriend who didn’t even help you when you needed it…” He willed back the tears, but they still dripped down his cheeks as your first instinct was to put your arms around him, holding him close as you shut your eyes. Your own tears streamed down your face.

The smile that you gave me Even when you felt like dying

“It’s okay…” You said to him softly, but those two words were enough to send Katsuki over the edge as he pulled away from you even though he didn’t want to leave your arms, he felt like he didn’t even deserve it.

“It’s NOT okay! How is it okay?! I shouldn’t… I should hate that!! I shouldn’t… I shouldn’t be so weak and-!” He wanted to scream more, he wanted to tell you that you shouldn’t even be with him anymore and that you were right to push him away, but you weren’t going to let him.

“No Katsuki it IS… you and I… we’re NOT okay… you’re NOT okay… and I’m NOT okay… that’s why we’re here though… because I should have told you that I wasn’t okay… yes… I wish you told me that you weren’t okay but now I’m telling you… it’s okay… because… I’m still with you because… I want to be… I understand… I just told you that I’m afraid too… and knowing that you are too… don’t you understand how better that makes me feel?” You asked him, the fear evident in your tone and the mistiness in your eyes visible for Katsuki to furrow his brows.

“I want to love you… because I do! I don’t want to be afraid… I don’t want to be afraid of loving the person I want to love but… I am… and yet… at the same time I feel like… I won’t be afraid because you are Katsuki Bakugo. You’re… You’re Great Explosion Murder God Dynamight, the strongest hero I know, the strongest man I know, and… with you I just… I feel like I won’t have to be afraid anymore… how can I be afraid? When I have a man like you in my life?” You smiled crookedly at him as your tears continued to fall, body trembling because even though you were still scared. Katsuki somehow always managed to make you feel safe, protected and at ease despite everything.

You couldn’t tell what he was feeling, you just saw him looking at you with a mix of slight awe, surprise and other emotions you couldn’t read. Katsuki just stared at you, he heard your words and listened to every single thing you told him, saw the look in your eyes the entire time as he could see the love, fear and determination swirling in those (E/C) orbs. He didn’t realize how much he needed to hear that from you, he had been wanting you to hold onto him for so long and yet he pulled away from you like the idiot he was.

So hearing you, seeing you stay with him and tell him how you still wanted to be with him even though you were scared, it made him feel like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. He hated being weak, but he loved being with you, he loved how you made him feel. He needed to be better, hearing you say that you loved him, made him realize that he needed to be better for you.

“Tch…” He scoffed a little bit, making you perk up when you saw one of his trademark smirks even though you knew that he was still afraid, like you were. “You’re not wrong (Y/N)… loving someone is scary but… you’re also not wrong that you don’t have anything to be afraid of with me around… we’ll kill our fears together.”

He declared with his usual determination that made your eyes well up with more tears, a watery smile on your lips as you snickered and snorted at such a phrase. “W-What are you laughing at?!” However, Katsuki couldn’t help but flush in slight embarrassment when you were laughing at him again, except this wasn’t out of mockery he could tell that much. He still didn’t like it though.

“I-I’m sorry! It’s just… that’s… another reason why I love you… you’re right… I want to do that… kill our fears together… you and me Katsuki.” Your smile didn’t fade as you took his hand in yours, and Katsuki promptly squeezed your hand, his own smirk not leaving.

“Good.” He sounded satisfied, but mostly relieved. Relieved that you and him were okay, or that you were at least going to be together since neither one of you wanted to end this despite the issues that sprung up.

“Katsuki…”

But then he froze up as soon as he suddenly felt you loosen your grip on his hand, and he grunted and nearly exclaimed in shock when you threw your arms around him in the tightest hug he’s felt from you.

We fall apart as it gets dark I'm in your arms in Central Park There's nothing you could do or say I can't escape the way, I love you I don't want to, but I love you Oh-oh-oh

“I love you Katsuki…” You whispered quietly as your tears silently fell. The fear was lingering, but still made you feel safe enough that you held onto him tight. Unwilling to let go as Katsuki returned the gesture by embracing you just as tightly.

God, he didn’t know how scared he was to lose you until he thought of the worst that could have happened. He was still scared, still afraid to lose you and to love you even though he did love you. He really loved you.

“I love you too (Y/N)…” He said the three words to you again, and your tear-filled (E/C) eyes widened when you heard them again. Your heart pounding as they made you feel less afraid and more at peace as you warmly smiled, resting your head into his shoulders and softly smiling even as you felt your own shoulder growing wet from his tears.

You knew it. You truly did love Katsuki, even if you were afraid of the fact that you loved him. And you figured out that Katsuki was afraid of that fact as well. He loved you, it’s why he told you the words even if he didn’t want to.

He knew he had to because it was true, he loved you. It just freaked him out that he did, that he loved someone.

Yet Katsuki wasn’t going to change those feelings, he loved you and he was willing to face that fear if it meant getting to love you the way he did. And you were too, you didn’t want to stop loving him even though you were scared. At least you and Katsuki would be scared together.

“Aroooo~.”

But the two of you opened your eyes when you remembered that Taromaru was still here, resting at the foot of your bed and having woken up from his little nap. You couldn’t help but giggle a bit, even becoming aware of how dark it had gotten and how late it was. Or maybe it wasn’t late, but still you felt sleepy after those tears and emotionally opening up to your boyfriend.

“Taromaru has the right idea… Kat… spend the night here?” You asked him with those puppy dog eyes that annoyed Katsuki as he scoffed, but like hell he was going back to his room. He wanted to be with you.

“Duh. I’m not going anywhere…” He reminded you with a soft little smirk that made you blush warmly and grin at him. This was good, you felt so much better to be with him after you and him talked together and cried together and opened up about your fears of loving each other. And that the two of you would keep working this out together, overcome more fears together as partners.

Finally, you felt like you could sleep comfortably tonight as you were lying down in your bed, Katsuki’s arms were around you as the two of you spooned and cuddled, Taromaru still at the foot of your bed.

“I love you…” You repeated the words to him softly, the words you were still afraid of but because of Katsuki you felt brave enough to tell him that you loved him regardless of your fears. And Katsuki knew it was scary, but still, he wanted to love you, and he knew you wanted to love him too, so he wasn’t going to let a little fear stop him from telling you.

“I love you too.”

lay us down, we’re in love (Tokoyami Fumikage X Reader)

I’m a slut for fluff!! I wrote this because I was going through an existensial crisis!! And I thought about Tokoyami, he’s one of my favorites... and this song is so soft and romantic and it reminded me of him!! That and I can’t stop listening to Brendon Urie’s beautiful voice...

SO PLEASE ENJOY THIS!! This also features Taromaru!!

Summary: Time’s moving too fast for your liking but Tokoyami’s love for you remains the same.

Wintertime was a season you were oddly fond of. It was nice and chilly outside, which meant you could just cuddle up in the warm blankets and get close to people you actually cared about, all the while enjoying a nice hot beverage.

You smiled and sighed in content as you opened the window to feel more of that cool air filling the empty common room, and made your way to the couch to snuggle into your favorite (D/S) blanket. As happy as you were getting comfortable, at the same time you felt a little bit sad knowing that another year had gone by and now you were starting all over without a clue what to do.

However, you didn’t want to think too much about that, you just wanted to get comfortable and feel the cool air in the room while you were wrapped up in your blanket, watching American Horror Story on Netflix. Something about Netflix that made you forget about the fact that January was already almost over and that it was still fucking 2020...

That was a disgusting thought... how could it be 2020 already? How could January almost be over already? How could Winter almost be over? Ugh you hated how fast time was moving and you just wished that you could be trapped in some never-ending show where time didn’t matter...

“Woof, woof!” The sounds of barking made you perk up as you saw Taromaru looking up at you with his adorable eyes as you giggled a bit and patted the couch to encourage him to jump up. Standing on his little hind legs, the puppy launched himself upwards and quickly made himself comfortable in your lap. “Hee-hee you’re one of the best things I ever got Taromaru...” You said rather lovingly to your puppy as he yawned happily while he lied in your lap.

That’s right... you got Taromaru as your new puppy. Before him you also found yourself the most wonderful boyfriend in the world. He was a little on the gloomy side but you were pretty gloomy at times yourself so it worked out perfectly.

And from the corner of your eye you could see said curious boyfriend emerge from the shadows of the dim hallway, clearly, he was looking for you since you weren’t in your dorm-room.

“Hey Fumi~.” You waved to him with a smile to let him know that you weren’t oblivious to him being there, and he pretended to look not surprised and resisted the urge to shiver when he felt how cold it was in here.

Oh, the window was open. That’s right, he knew how much you enjoyed getting warm in the cold…

“Good evening (Y/N).” He said in that deep voice that made you feel things… especially when he said your name. It took quite a while to get him to call you by your first name instead of your last name, but you got him to, and you fucking loved hearing him say it. And he was only partially oblivious to this as he looked right at you with such intense eyes that withheld curiosity.

“Couldn’t sleep?” He assumed, since he was well aware that you didn’t have the best sleep schedule, because he didn’t really have the best sleep schedule either. It’s why he was up too.

You chuckled somewhat shyly as you nodded, “Yup… so I’m just sittin’ in the dark, watching AHS with Taromaru… maybe it’ll help me go to sleep.” Sighing, you looked pretty relaxed and then patted the spot next to you, gesturing for your avian boyfriend to come over and sit with you. Tokoyami took this offer without hesitation, while he certainly wasn’t the most expressive type, he didn’t miss a chance to be with you. You two had been together for over a year, and Tokoyami hoped that it would stay that way for quite a while.

Sure he was a hero of the night and a creature of the darkness, but you were a constant source of light for him and you were never far away from him. He didn’t enjoy being too far away from you because you always brightened up his cloudy days and his darkest nights.

Not only that but he loved this show, it literally had ‘Horror Story’ in the title, plus it was American. America made some pretty classic horror movies, and all of these seasons never ceased to amaze him. Asylum was his favorite, and to his delight you were watching the first episode of the second season. “This will never not be the best season… but murder house is pretty close…” You thought outloud as he nodded.

“The first season was shrouded in mystery, and there was no way the audience could predict what could happen or what had happened until everything would unfurl. But Asylum is a grim representation of the darker nature of humanity and the madness that lies within.” Tokoyami wasn’t one to speak much, but he did whenever someone actually shared one of his interests, and you were the lucky one who got to hear him actually share, show and tell his opinions.

“Ohh yeah…” You tried not to giggle at how dramatic he sounded, because you agreed with him, “Ain’t that the truth? It’s so wicked~. But I love Coven too~.” You sang-songed a little bit, and the raven had to agree that Coven was also a really good season. It had witches in it!

Although he couldn’t fight the blush heating his cheeks when you leaned against his shoulder and nuzzled him a little bit. He was so glad he had the feathers to hide his blushing so he was less transparent, but at the same time he was certain that somehow you knew when he blushed. Still, he was able to be a little more open around you, it’s what he adored about you. He could be him with you, because for some reason, you liked him even when he was a bit of an oddball who enjoyed these kinds of shows.

Of course, you liked these kinds of shows too and you were an oddball too, it’s why you and him got along so well. Birds of a feather watch horror shows together.

You hummed in content as you watched the first three episodes of Asylum with your dear Tokoyami, giggling when Dark Shadow came out to lay down his head onto your shoulder and you happily pet him, much to his host’s annoyance.

“Arf~.” Taromaru then had to stand and put his paws on your chest so he could reach up to lick Dark Shadow’s beak. You quietly cooed when the shadow giggled and pet the puppy, “Who’s a good doggy? Whose a good doggy?!”

Tokoyami sighed in annoyance when his shadow just had to play with the puppy. Now it’s not that Tokoyami disliked Taromaru, in fact he did find the pup rather cute, but stealing his underwear was certainly NOT cute at all, and then sometimes it felt as if the puppy deliberately stole your attention away from him on purpose.

Including right now as you seemed enthralled in watching Taromaru happily whining under the shadow’s surprisingly soft petting and you just found it adorable. “Awww~...” You shamelessly cooed even if your boyfriend wasn’t amused.

Still, Tokoyami kept close to you and he was happy you shared your blanket because it was really cold in here. He wasn’t a physical person, but he felt comfortable being near you, and touching you, being so close to you made him feel warm inside as you hugged his arm.

As tempting as it was to stay warm with you holding him and watch another episode, it was about to be two o clock and you knew that someone might wake up and catch you both still up at this hour.

At least it gave Tokoyami the excuse to make his quirk retreat, and as he stood up he felt a little more tired than he was earlier. And you gave a rather vocal yawn as you tiredly stood up from the couch and made sure to close the window, “Mmmkay… I’m goin’ to bed now…c’mon Taromaru...” You mumbled, and yet you moved over to the raven and put your hands on his shoulders as Taromaru perked up with a bark.

“Lead the way…”

This somewhat surprised Tokoyami, but he knew what you were getting at. “You wish to sleep in my room tonight?” You said you were going to bed, but didn’t specify you were going to YOUR bed…

“Yeah!” Despite being sleepy, apparently you had enough energy to chirp out an excited but quiet ‘yeah’, and Tokoyami couldn’t help but sigh as he wordlessly led you to his room while your puppy followed. Although the inside of his room still embarrassed him, you didn’t mind it at all. You thought his room was awesome because you were into that gothic stuff, sure some of it was a little edgy, but it was still cool!

He had a freaking sword just like Game of Thrones!

“Fumikage you’re my dark angel…” You smiled drowsily at your boyfriend, and he refused to let himself get so flustered at your flattery. “Get into bed (Y/N), it’s late.” He said a bit firmly, but only so you could go to sleep already because it was clear you were tired. His face was hot over the fact that he was going to share his bed with you, but he wasn’t going to just kick you out of his room. He was always your gentleman and he wouldn’t dream of kicking his girlfriend out of his room.

“Okey~…” Without complaint you got under his covers and already got comfortable and took your own blanket under with you just in case you wanted to put it at your feet. Tokoyami then shakily sighed as he forced himself to get into his bed with you in it. This was no problem he was just getting into his bed with his very cute, very sweet girlfriend in it…

He swallowed hard as he got into his bed and realized that he was lying down right next to you, and did his best not to tremble but ultimately failed. Somehow lying right next to you was a little bit different than just sitting right next to you. Calm down, calm down… he wasn’t going to get so nervous about this, but oh gods it was too late…

“Woof!”

Oh Thank God for Taromaru. The puppy made himself at home in the room and climbed onto his bed, but instead of taking your attention he just happily lied at the foot of the bed and circled himself into a ball as he gave a little yawn.

So much for that help...

“Awwww...” You did coo at your sweet little puppy, but then you diverted your somewhat flirtatious eyes back on Tokoyami, who immediately felt the nerves now that your attention was back on him.

Even when tired you weren’t completely oblivious to your poor boyfriend’s nerves so you smiled a little bit and held his hand, turning to face him as his eyes widened a bit when they looked into your (E/C) eyes and you suddenly started to softly sing.

“Hello darkness my old friend… I’ve come to talk with you again…”

“Hello~.”

And Dark Shadow popped out from under the covers and sang, making Tokoyami jump ever so slightly as he glared at his shadow for coming out without permission. But Dark Shadow didn’t pay him no mind, he loved singing with you and happily snaked right beside you as you giggled and kept on singing with the shadow.

“Because a vision’s softly creeping… left it’s seeds while I was sleeping…”

Despite Tokoyami’s annoyance with his quirk, you just kept on singing as the shadow nuzzled you as you happily sang with him. Tokoyami would have been entertained by your oddly comforting voice if not for his shadow hogging you and singing with you…

“And the vision that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound…”

Almost getting lost in the song you and Dark Shadow sung along as you nodded your head along with him, but then you and he came to a pause at the last part and turned to face Tokoyami with smiles on your faces. The raven resisted the urge to sigh as he had no choice but to humor you both.

“Of silence…”

Tokoyami softly sang the last two words as you couldn’t help give a little squeal and snuggle up to him when he did it! He sung the song! Two words but still! You were happily nuzzling your now flustered Tokoyami as he trembled a little more and tried not to glare at how comfortable Dark Shadow looked just resting on you like that.

As comfortable as you looked petting the shadow, and having Taromaru resting happily at the edge of the bed, for some reason you still couldn’t bring yourself to fall asleep and Tokoyami knew. “What’s the matter?” He was aware that you were very sleep-deprived and he had no doubts it’s because you couldn’t sleep, however there was always an underlying reason to it and he felt the need to try and help you with that.

Sighing, you rested your head on the pillow and stared up at the ceiling, hand still stroking the top of Dark Shadow’s head as he purred. “Can I ask you a bit of a personal question?”

“Of course you can.”

That question made him a little bit nervous, but the raven nonetheless would hear you out. “Do you ever just wish time would stop? So you can just have a goddamn break? I swear… every second passes and it feels like I’m just slowly getting more and more ancient… and then I think too hard on it and begin to wonder just what the point is and why I’m even here. I mean… you know… I’ve always had a lot of self-doubt, and people who liked to make me feel low… sometimes I think I am low, and then I think about just where I am in life and contemplate if it’s good enough. You know me I’m an overthinker and once I think about that I can’t stop…” You admitted, and you didn’t see the thought swirling in your boyfriend’s eyes.

He understood your words, even if they were a tad bit depressing, he knew and understood that. In fact, he wasn’t ashamed to say that he’s had thoughts like that too whenever he in particular felt like he wasn’t very successful in a particular endeavor, or when the things he hoped for weren’t here yet even when he desperately wished for them to come sooner so he wouldn’t have to wait anymore.

Along with the occasional existential crisis Tokoyami, like many an edgy teenager, felt on a somewhat daily basis whenever he felt any of those things. Why was he even here? He didn’t know why, but then again, being with you reminded him that maybe he was here for a reason.

“That’s a hard question to answer.” He replied truthfully and you chuckled with a small nod, “But everything happens for a reason, isn’t that what you like to say? I believe it’s true. Everything does happen for a reason.” Tokoyami remembered you always saying that everything had to happen for a reason, and he found himself starting to believe that. There had to be a reason, he knew there had to.

“You found Taromaru for a reason. You and I started dating for a reason…” He trailed off that last part a little awkwardly as you giggled a little bit, “Because I couldn’t resist you, you’re just so handsome and sweet~.” You grinned a little as you could see Tokoyami’s feathers starting to preen as he started to get flustered. That reason he didn’t understand, but didn’t argue with it because it made him feel good.

“S-See? There’s a reason for everything. There’s a reason why we are here, there’s a reason why I’m here at UA. I understand what you’re feeling. I too have had people tell me before that I wouldn’t qualify as a decent hero because of my dark quirk.” You couldn’t help but frown when you thought about it. Tokoyami didn’t necessarily have the easiest childhood and you knew it because he had told you about it in private so you felt so bad that your dear raven had to go through all of that.

“I’m… sorry Fumi. I’m sorry that they made you feel that way.” And you couldn’t help but apologize to him, but he didn’t really seem all that saddened thinking about it.

“There’s no need to be sorry. If I was never told those words, I never would have realized that I want to be a reliable hero and let people know that they don’t need to fear the dark. I never would have worked hard enough to make it into UA, I never would have met our classmates, and I never would have met you.” The raven continued with a thoughtful gaze that he gave to you. He would always be honest with you, and so he felt just a little less flustered as he confessed that he felt that this the reason he was here, because he was meant to meet you. That you and he were meant to meet.

You could feel your face turning hot at such a humane confession and how surprisingly optimistic your boyfriend sounded about everything. Wow, you had never thought about it like that. Now you were starting to believe that maybe that was true, that you were meant to meet your Tokoyami and be with him because of how everything you’ve been through led to being with him.

With flushed cheeks you tried not to snicker and smile but you couldn’t help it, “God… Fumi… people always say Todoroki’s the heartthrob… but I think it’s you… way to make a gal feel special…” You sounded very touched as you had to lean in to kiss him on the beak as he perked up and grew even more flustered.

A contrast to how calm he had looked as you giggled when his feathers floofed up a bit. “I think… you’re right… that has to be the reason… makes everything… all the bullshit… worth it. I’ve got my reason right here.” You warmly said as she had to cuddle up closer to him and Tokoyami felt a little bit warmer having you so close to him.

“Me too.” Was all he could bring himself to say as you sighed in content, “Sing with me Fumi~.” You weren’t quite tired yet, but a nice little song would definitely do the trick and Tokoyami didn’t complain as he let you start humming.

(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yu6W0rss2o)

“Whether near or far, I am always yours… Any change in time we are young again…”

The raven held you in his arms as he sang this song for you, it was his song to you. He never wanted you to feel like you weren’t worthy of love, no matter how fast time moves, he would always be yours.

“Lay us down… We're in love... Lay us down... We're in love…”

It took all your willpower not to tear up as you thought about Brendon and your sweet boyfriend as you gladly sung and harmonized with him. God you loved Panic! At The Disco, their songs moved your heart, but when Tokoyami sang their songs, it moved your heart just a little bit more.

“In these coming years many things will change, but the way I feel will remain the same…”

He wasn’t Brendon Urie, Tokoyami knew he would never be Brendon, that man was a God, but he could at least try to be your Brendon. And you were his Sara. The one he always wanted to see smile, and he would make sure that he could be the one to make you smile. And for once he didn’t have any caveats when Dark Shadow remained cuddled up at your side and purring into you affectionately.

“Lay us down… We're in love... Lay us down... We're in love…”

You were smiling the entire time as your eyes slowly started to close as you rested your head on his shoulder and hugged his arm, and Taromaru was cuddled up at your legs. “Good night Fumi~.” You whispered your soft good nights to him when he finished the song you loved and Tokoyami sighed as he gave you a little smile when you looked at peace beside him.

“Good night (Y/N).” He whispered to you gently before his eyes started to close and for once in a while, he was able to fall into a peaceful sleep because he was lied down right next to you. Still very much in love with you, and you were still in love with him.

Lay us down… we’re in love…
