632 | Bakugou’s never needed words to tell you how he feels. The only problem?You never understand what he’s been saying.

Bakugou signs alot.

At first, you thought it was just muscle memory, like how someone might talk to themselves under their breath. He’d move his hands with sharp, purposeful flicks, his fingers quick and angry, like he was arguing with the air.

But he always signed to you.

You noticed it when he’d glance your way mid-conversation, hands spelling out something with too much intention for it to be coincident. You didn’t understand a word, of course, and he never explained himself. He’d roll his eyes or scoff when you asked. Saying something like figure it out if you’re so interested, but even with his dismissal— he kept doing it.

When he was annoyed with you, his fingers moved fast.

On the rare chance you made him chuckle, he’d sign something slow and subtle, hidden behind his dumb smirk and eye roll.

When he looked at you too long, he’d blink, sign, and look away.

It wasn’t until weeks later, when you finally decided to take a crash course in ASL at your campus library that the words finally started to come together.

“Thanks for saving my seat,” you said softly, placing your bag down beside him. He hums, nodding, red eyes never leaving your own and it’s enough to make your face heat. You’d always thought Bakugou was good looking, but for the longest time, you kept your distance. That is, until he showed up to the lecture one day reading one of your favorite books, and something about that felt like an opening. Since then, sitting next to him became a habit you looked forward to more than you’d admit.

Your other friends liked to joke that you’d worn him down. That you annoyed him into a friendship.

But every time you walked in and found his bag already nudged off the chair beside him, saving the seat just for you, it felt like the smallest kind of miracle.

He never said much about it. Never made a show of saving your space, but he did it every time.

Bakugou shrugged, his hands move fast. You look… tired?

You blinked. “Wait, I— did you say I looked tired?”

He froze. His brows furrow, eyes narrowed. A tiny break in the confidence that was so Bakugou it practically had its own gravitational pull.

“What the fuck," you heard him mumble. It makes you laugh.

He’s quick to sign again. You understood that?

You bit your lip, suppressing a grin. “A little. I’ve been uh—“ You cut yourself off, your own hands coming forward. Learning.

Bakugou scowled, but his ears were tinged red. He signs again, how? you stalking me now?

“No,” you said, laughing. “I took some classes in the library. Besides you're the one who’s been talking at me this whole time. I finally decided to catch up.”

His hands lifted. It is then that the piece start clicking. If you had learned what he was saying than that means... his eyes narrowed.

What else have you seen?

You pause. Beautiful, he had signed once. You’re beautiful.

Another time: I like your laugh. It sounds like wind chimes. The words 'Wind chimes' was a hard one to figure out for sure.

Once: I wish I could kiss you without making things weird.

You shook your head gently. “Beautiful a couple times... but that's all I remember."

Bakugou exhaled sharply. That's all you remembered!? He's going to fucking explode, dear god. He can feel the heat traveling down his neck. His fingers twitched like he wanted to deny it, like he wanted to scream just to redirect the attention.

Instead, he groaned. Looking away before signing something slowly— hands pausing just enough to make sure you’d catch it.

I can help you remember the rest.

You smiled. Yes. I'd love that

this is SO yoichi coded.

ᯓ★ thinking about how he pretends like he’s winning the idgaf war but the second you invite him to matcha and yap with you he’s putting on his best outfit, spraying his nicest cologne, and on the way to meet you (he doesn’t even like matcha that much.) and then afterwards he’s kicking his feet and blushing like a girl, writing his notes app entry about your “date” today and how your hand had brushed his for a little too long whilst you were explaining something that had went over his head—his attention was wholly focused on the cute faces you made when you were excited.

god forbid anyone ever stumble upon his locked notes, they’re lengthy, movie-transcript worthy accounts of each hangout.

toji is such an ass when he’s in public by himself like he had the nastiest stank eye but the moment he’s out with his girlfriend he acts so obedient like haiii yesss i will carry your bags for yewww and his hand is behind your back and sometimes in the back pocket of your jeans or the belt loop part and he would lean down to hear you speak to him and he’d respond with ‘yeah ?’ with a stupid, stupid grin and go wherever you wanna go bc he claims he ‘doesn’t have anything better to do’ but he just likes to be with you and ughhhhh i love him

by the mercy of the universe and the prophecy that the galaxy wrote long ago, choso kamo finds you ( @cherrysurf ) in the universe of hercules. dynamic: hercules and megara.

despite you being your own person, the deep rooted longing to be seen is taken by its nape and doted on ever too gently by choso. deeply loyal and protective, his first instinct upon even seeing you was to love you. now, I would not really compare your personality to megara, but the banter and tease as well as the fact that he knows you are capable and yet still wants to provide fits. he peels your oranges for you.

choso may be a bit struck to find that you are nearly as loyal as he. he figured that because of being wired to group with his family — family being anyone he truly loves, by his definition — he would always care a little bit more. safe to say he appreciates you.

in the moments where you are loud or erratic he just sits there with soft eyes because he does not entirely understand what you are doing but he thinks it is beautiful nonetheless. just nods his head and goes along. despite hundreds of years of wisdom, your randomness can catch him off guard.

when you get anxious, he gets anxious. there are times when he literally has to take your hands in his and stop you from picking at your hands because it affects him just as much as luckily, it aids the both of you.

choso yearns to please and loves to provide. he is shown consistently putting himself in the way of harm to protect and aid his family. similar to yuji, if he notices the slightest hint of discomfort, he is forcing you to let him handle it. you best not let his emotional nature distract you from his strength and determination — he is not a man child as many assume.

though he does not bicker much, there are moments where he gets sassy and you’re left just ?????? because oh my gosh, you are rubbing off on him big time. he is not even aware of this until you point it out, though, to which he would hum and respond with something like that’s what love does. it makes you become one. before moving about his merry day.
