The classroom of 1-A buzzed with early morning energy as you slumped in your seat, desperately trying to avoid making eye contact with the explosive blonde sitting two rows ahead. Even from behind, you could see the tension in his shoulders, the way his spiky hair seemed to defy gravity with the same stubbornness as its owner.
Don't look at me, don't look at me,ย you silently chanted, knowing full well that Katsuki Bakugou had a sixth sense for when people were staring at him.
It had been three weeks since you'd transferred into UA's hero course, and you were still adjusting to the strange reality of being in the same class as your childhood friendโif you could even call him that anymore. Your mothers had been best friends since college, which meant you and Katsuki had spent countless afternoons together as children. You remembered a different Katsuki then: still competitive and loud, but he'd smile sometimes too.
That was before middle school, before his quirk developed fully, before the distance grew between you.
"Oi," a gruff voice broke through your thoughts, and you nearly jumped out of your skin. Somehow, Bakugou had materialized next to your desk during your daydreaming. "You're coming to my place after school. The witch been asking about you."
It wasn't a question. It never was with him.
"I have homework," you protested weakly, knowing it was a poor excuse.
His crimson eyes narrowed. "We have the same homework, dumbass. Bring it with you."
Before you could respond, he was already walking away, leaving a trail of whispers in his wake.
"Did Bakugou just... talk to the new kid?" "I didn't know they knew each other!" "Is it safe to be alone with him?"
The last comment made you snort quietly. If only they knew how many times Aunt Mitsuki had forced Katsuki to play house with you when you were six.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"You've been avoiding me," Katsuki said bluntly as you walked the familiar path to his house. The cherry trees were in bloom, soft pink petals drifting down around you both.
"I haven't," you lied, adjusting your backpack strap nervously.
"Bullshit," he replied, but there was no real heat behind it. "You practically dive behind Deku whenever I look in your direction."
You winced. He wasn't wrong.
"It's just... weird, okay? Being in the same class again after so long. You're different now."
"So are you," he countered, giving you a sidelong glance that made your heart stutter. "You used to talk more."
"You used to listen more," you shot back, surprised by your own boldness.
For a moment, you thought you saw the ghost of a smile cross his face, but it was gone so quickly you might have imagined it.
"Whatever," he muttered, kicking a pebble with more force than necessary. "The old hagโs making spicy curry. She remembers it's your favorite."
The fact that he remembered too hung unspoken between you.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"LOOK WHO'S HERE!" Mitsuki Bakugou's voice boomed through the house the moment you stepped through the door. Within seconds, you were enveloped in a bone-crushing hug that smelled of citrus perfume and home.
"It's been too long!" she exclaimed, holding you at arm's length to examine you. "You've grown so much! Masaru, come look how tall they've gotten!"
Katsuki's father appeared from his home office, wearing his usual kind smile. "Welcome back," he said warmly. "We've missed having you around."
"Thanks for having me," you replied, unable to stop the smile spreading across your face. You'd forgotten how much you'd missed this house, this family.
"Don't smother them," Katsuki grumbled, already heading upstairs. "We've got homework."
"Homework can wait until after dinner," Mitsuki declared. "Besides, I want to hear all about UA! Is my son behaving himself? He's not bullying you, is he?"
"SHUT UP, HAG!" Katsuki roared from halfway up the stairs.
You laughed, feeling the tension of the past few weeks start to dissolve. "He's actually really amazing in hero training," you admitted. "Everyone respects him."
Mitsuki's expression softened. "Is that so?" She glanced toward the stairs where her son had disappeared. "Well, don't tell him I said this, but I'm proud of the little brat."
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Dinner was a loud affair, just as you remembered. Mitsuki and Masaru asked about your parents, about your quirk training, about your impression of UA. Katsuki remained mostly silent, but you caught him watching you when he thought you weren't looking.
After helping clear the dishes (over Mitsuki's protests), you finally followed Katsuki to his room. It was neater than you expected, minimalist but with traces of his personality everywhere: a shelf of hero analysis books, weights in the corner, a poster of All Might that you remembered him getting for his tenth birthday.
"Your room hasn't changed much," you observed, setting your backpack down.
"Why would it?" he replied, dropping onto his desk chair and gesturing vaguely toward the bed. "Sit wherever."
You perched on the edge of his bed, suddenly hyperaware of being alone with him. It was ridiculousโyou'd spent countless hours in this very room as kidsโbut something felt different now. Maybe it was the way his UA uniform fit across his shoulders, or how his hands looked stronger than you remembered.
"Are you going to stare at me all night or are we going to do this homework?" he asked, not looking up from his notebook.
Your face burned. "S-sorry. Modern Hero Art History, right?"
For the next hour, you both worked in surprisingly comfortable silence, broken occasionally by a question about the assignment or a muttered curse from Katsuki when he made a mistake. It felt... normal. Nice, even.
"Why did you stop coming around?" he asked suddenly, his voice uncharacteristically quiet.
The question caught you off guard. "What?"
"Middle school. You used to come over all the time, then you just... stopped."
You set your pencil down, studying the pattern on his bedspread. "You started hanging out with those other guys. The ones who followed you everywhere. You seemed like you didn't want me around anymore."
His eyebrows drew together. "That's stupid."
"Is it?" you challenged. "You changed, Katsuki. You got meaner. Especially to Midoriya. I didn't know how to talk to you anymore."
He was silent for so long that you finally looked up, surprised to find him staring intensely at you. Something vulnerable flickered in his eyes before his usual scowl returned.
"Yeah, well. I was an idiot in middle school."
Coming from Bakugou, this was practically a heartfelt apology.
"We all were," you offered, a small olive branch. "But for what it's worth... I think you've changed again. For the better."
He turned back to his homework, but not before you caught the faintest blush on his cheeks. "Whatever. Hand me that textbook."
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
Over the next few weeks, something shifted between you and Katsuki. You stopped avoiding him at school. He started waiting for you after hero training. Sometimes you'd study together in the common room, surrounded by your curious classmates who couldn't quite figure out your relationship.
"So... you and Bakugou, huh?" Kirishima asked one day as you were changing for gym class.
"What about us?" you replied, trying to sound casual.
"You're like the only person he doesn't yell at," Mina chimed in, eyes sparkling with interest. "Spill the tea!"
"We grew up together," you explained with a shrug. "Our moms are friends. It's not a big deal."
But it was becoming a big deal, at least to you. The more time you spent with him, the more you noticed things: the way his eyes crinkled slightly at the corners when he was truly amused, how gentle his hands could be when helping you with a training exercise, the protective way he positioned himself when villains attacked during your field training.
And worst of all, you were pretty sure Katsuki had noticed your noticing.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
"You're distracted," he growled during your Saturday training session. You'd taken to practicing together on weekends, away from the prying eyes of your classmates. "Your form is sloppy."
"Sorry," you mumbled, resetting your stance. "Let me try again."
He circled you, making minute adjustments to your posture. "Elbow higher. Center your weight." His hand brushed against your lower back, and you tried desperately not to react.
"Better," he approved, stepping back. "Now try to hit me."
You launched forward, quirk activated, aiming a strike at his midsection. He dodged easily, but you anticipated it, pivoting to catch his arm. For a moment, you thought you had him, but then the world tilted as he swept your legs out from under you.
You landed hard on your back, Katsuki following you down, his hand catching your wrist and pinning it above your head. His face hovered inches above yours, both of you breathing hard.
"Predictable," he said, but his voice sounded strangeโrougher than usual.
You were suddenly aware of every point of contact between your bodies, the weight of him partially above you. His eyes dropped to your lips for a fraction of a second.
"Katsuki..." you breathed.
He released you abruptly, standing and offering a hand up. "Again," he said, turning away. "And focus this time."
But focus was impossible now. Every touch, every glance felt charged with something neither of you was willing to name.
โโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโโ
The training camp was supposed to be an opportunity to improve your quirks, but all you could think about was the growing tension between you and Bakugou. You'd caught him watching you during meals, during training, during the rare moments of downtime. And you'd been just as guilty.
"Just talk to him already," Uraraka urged as you sat together by the campfire on the final night. "The suspense is killing all of us."
"I don't know what you're talking about," you replied, though your eyes automatically sought out Katsuki's spiky blonde head across the fire.
"Sure you don't," she giggled. "That's why you've been staring at him all night."
Before you could defend yourself, Aizawa announced it was time to turn in. You stood, brushing dirt from your pants, when a message buzzed on your phone.
Meet me by the lake. 10 minutes. -K
Your heart hammered against your ribs as you made your way to your cabin, changed quickly, and then slipped out into the darkness. The path to the lake was lit only by the stars and the waning moon, but you could have found your way blindfolded.
Katsuki was already there, sitting on a boulder near the water's edge, his back to you. The moonlight silvered his hair, softened the perpetual anger in his profile.
"You came," he said without turning around.
"You asked me to," you replied simply, coming to stand beside him.
For several long moments, neither of you spoke. The lake lapped gently at the shore, crickets singing in the undergrowth.
"You've been acting weird," he finally said, turning to look at you. "Weirder than usual."
"So have you," you countered.
"Because of you!" he snapped, standing suddenly. "Because you keep looking at me likeโlikeโ"
"Like what?" you asked, your voice barely above a whisper.
"Like you want something from me," he said, stepping closer. "Like you're waiting for something."
Your breath caught in your throat. This was itโthe moment where you either took the leap or retreated to safety.
"Maybe I am," you admitted.
His eyes widened slightly, and for once, Katsuki Bakugou seemed at a loss for words. Then, with a frustrated growl, he closed the distance between you, one hand tangling in your hair as his lips crashed against yours.
The kiss was everything you'd imagined and nothing like you expectedโfierce but unexpectedly tender, demanding yet asking a question. You answered by wrapping your arms around his neck, pulling him closer.
When you finally broke apart, breathless, he pressed his forehead against yours. "Took you long enough," he muttered.
You laughed, the sound bright in the quiet night. "Me? You're the one who's been glaring at me for weeks!"
"That's how I look at everyone," he protested, but his hands remained gentle where they held your waist.
"Not everyone," you corrected softly. "Not me. Not anymore."
Instead of arguing, he kissed you again, slower this time. In the gentle night beneath the stars, with the boy you'd known all your life but were just beginning to truly see, you felt something click into place. Like coming home after a long journey, to find that home had been waiting for you all along.
"We should get back," he said eventually, though he made no move to let you go.
"Five more minutes," you murmured against his lips.
For once, Katsuki Bakugou didn't argue.

despite his rough exterior, he ends up giving you some tips on how to improve your quirk. itโs a rare glimpse of his softer side, hidden beneath layers of brashness.ย
he tries to act indifferent when you beat him in a training exercise, but you can see the flicker of admiration in his eyes. itโs the first time he sees you as a serious contender.
katsuki finds himself getting flustered when youโre around, often pushing back his feelings with anger. he calls you "extra" or "annoying" to mask his growing affection.ย
he begins to notice the small things about you, like how your hair glows in the sunlight or the way you focus intently when youโre training.ย
if he catches you struggling with something, he may act disinterested but will still find a way to help youโeither through training advice or a sudden display of explosive power to motivate you.ย
when you laugh or smile, itโs like the world stops for him; he stares at you, a deep blush creeping up his cheeks as he mumbles about how โstupidโ you are for being so distracting.ย
katsuki starts developing a habit of keeping an eye on you during class or training sessions, always ready to jump in if he senses someone being unfair to you, despite the grumpy facade he keeps up.
once you start dating, heโs surprisingly protective, using his quirk to keep you safe from any potential threats, whether theyโre from villains or classmates.ย
heโs not the type to shower you with affection in public, but behind closed doors, heโs warm and fiercely supportive, always encouraging you to push your limits.ย
dates are often intense, involving activities that test both your quirksโlike racing to see who can pull off the most impressive rescue maneuvers or going to a training camp together.ย
when you argue, he gets heated but always tries to resolve things quickly, realizing he canโt stand the thought of you being upset with him. heโll often apologize in his own gruff way, maybe with a half-hearted โYouโre not that bad.โย
his love language is acts of service; he surprises you by making you your favorite snacks or taking time to train with you, pushing you to get stronger while making sure you know heโs there for you.ย
on lazy days, youโll find him surprisingly soft, where heโll rest his head on your shoulder, enjoying the peace while sneaking glances at you, a little smirk on his face, as if to say, โiโm not telling you, but I think youโre pretty great.โ
