Competitive bakugo over a nonchalant y/nππππ
competitive katsuki trying to win over nonchalant reader
everyone knew bakugo was competitive, always trying his best and fighting the hardest, no matter who he was against or what situation he was in. he always gave it his all. however, he thought he could do nearly everything on his own, he was incredibly independent, even hating it when people tried to help him with something, not wanting others to see him as weak.
but he did what he had done since middle school; put other people down to make himself feel better. unfortunately, you and midoriya were victims of it, but the two of you had very different reactions.
midoriya was always nervous to stand up for himself until a few months ago, when he became more confident in his abilities, which you applauded him for. bakugo, on the other hand, also made fun of you for god knows what. it was never for a specific reason, just picking on you because he didnβt know how to deal with his feelings for you.
but he was always frustrated with how youβd react. normally, after he would laugh and point a finger at you, you would just shrug and walk over to your friend, talking to them with an emotionless tone. heβd follow you, yell at you, just for you to do it all over again. he hated how you didnβt react in any sort of way.
so when the two of you sparred, and he won a match, he would yell and brag about it, calling you a sore loser and smirking in your face. you responded, looking at a nearby wall for a second, βgood job, i guess.β
he frowned, βyou guess? what the hell do you mean βi guess?β you lost fair and square, y/n!β
you hummed and shrugged, causing him to march up to you with a scowl. he asked, βwhy do you always act so damn calm? cry or smile or feel emotions for once! youβre acting like icy hot!β
βi do feel emotions, bakugo, i just donβt show them that well. you should learn from me and be calmer, it especially helps in fights.β you almost smirked at the end, teasing him.
he grumbled, βteach me then.β
you raised your eyebrow and hesitantly asked, βreally?β you didnβt believe him, assuming it was a trick.
βyes, dumbass. and call me katsuki or whatever, i donβt care.β
βseems like you do care if youβre correcting me.β you retorted, tilting your head and looking up at him.
the tips of his ears pinkened, and his face felt warmer than usual. he grumbled, βshut the hell up,β and used a small explosion near your feet, causing the ground to rumble underneath you.
of course, katsuki didnβt realize his reactions were very readable, and how dark his cheeks became once you teased him.
hope you liked this, it was fun to write!

632 | Bakugouβs never needed words to tell you how he feels. The only problem?You never understand what heβs been saying.
Bakugou signs alot.
At first, you thought it was just muscle memory, like how someone might talk to themselves under their breath. Heβd 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 heβd glance your way mid-conversation, hands spelling out something with too much intention for it to be coincident. You didnβt understand a word, of course, and he never explained himself. Heβd roll his eyes or scoff when you asked. Saying something like figure it out if youβre so interested, but even with his dismissalβ he kept doing it.
When he was annoyed with you, his fingers moved fast.
On the rare chance you made him chuckle, heβd sign something slow and subtle, hidden behind his dumb smirk and eye roll.
When he looked at you too long, heβd blink, sign, and look away.
It wasnβt 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.
βThanks for saving my seat,β you said softly, placing your bag down beside him. He hums, nodding, red eyes never leaving your own and itβs enough to make your face heat. Youβd 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 youβd admit.
Your other friends liked to joke that youβd 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. βWait, Iβ did you say I looked tired?β
He froze. His brows furrow, eyes narrowed. A tiny break in the confidence that was so Bakugou it practically had its own gravitational pull.
βWhat the fuck," you heard him mumble. It makes you laugh.
Heβs quick to sign again. You understood that?
You bit your lip, suppressing a grin. βA little. Iβve been uhββ 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?
βNo,β you said, laughing. βI took some classes in the library. Besides you're the one whoβs been talking at me this whole time. I finally decided to catch up.β
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. Youβre 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. βBeautiful 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 slowlyβ hands pausing just enough to make sure youβd catch it.
I can help you remember the rest.
You smiled. Yes. I'd love that
i really love sendai frogs tsukki <3

Izuku Midoriya x fem!reader synopsis: running to him, even after the world turned dark. warnings: angst?, hurt/comfort, childhoodfriend!reader, reader is not a student at u.a, takes place during season 6 ep 137, PRE-RELATIONSHIP, potentially ooc. that's all i think?
It was gloomy that day, the rain had hurtled towards the angry crowd of civilians formed at the front of U.A. Everyone was angry and confused, some felt betrayed and others tricked. They didnβt want him here, fearing for their safety at the thought of the boy with a target on his back. They screamed and yelled, children cried, teachers tried their best to pacify what had started to become a mob.
You thrashed in your mother's arms, a trembling in your lower lip as you tried to claw your way out of the suffocating embrace. "Let go!" You cried, turning to stare at your motherβ desperation clouding all rational thoughts in your mind.Β
βItβs too dangerous! Calm down!β Your mother scolded, fingers trembling against the sleeves of your sweater, trying to hold you as close as possibleβ out of harmβs way, just as any mother would. Just like she would when you were younger and would waddle into her room clutching your blanket, wiping at the fat tears that rolled down chubby cheeks. She wanted you safe, in her arms, where you couldnβt be harmed by scared citizens protesting for their safety.Β
But you couldnβt let her. Not this time.Β
You had to get to Izuku. It repeated like an alarm, loud and insistent as Urarakaβs speech lingered in your ears. You didnβt care if it was dangerous. It didnβt matter to you. As long as you could reach him, touch him, hold him. None of it mattered.
He was probably cryingβ you know he was. The two of you always held a small knack for knowing when the other was upset, even as children that played in the warm rays of the sun, beaming and giggling happily. βPlease! I have to get to him!β You begged, jerking this way and that. βItβs Izuku, mum!β
And then a kid ran past you. He was small and had a red hat, and red sneakers that looked like Izukuβsβ a lady cried out after him, βCome back!βΒ You nearly stopped to stare, but you had become acutely aware of the fact your mother had loosened her grip momentarily to look over her shoulder to identify the voice.
That was your opening.Β
You slipped between her fingers, fleeting like a leaf in the wind, an apology in the back of your mind as you pushed your legs into a sprint. The rain splashed under your thundering feet, droplets hitting the bare skin of your legs, but you didnβt care. It wasnβt a priority right now. He was.
Izuku with his green eyes and unruly hair, with his cute little freckles that you always loved. Izuku with his heart of gold and sweet smile, always ready to lend a helping hand. Izuku, who had stopped your world the day he left that letter on your door, shrouding it in a cloud of darkness.
As you shoved your way through the crowd, your heart squeezed as the sight of him became clearer and clearer to you. He was standing now, fat tears rolling down his freckled cheeks as the kid from earlier and a lady with bunny-like features wrapped their arms around him.
βIzuku!β You had barely a second before his name ripped itself out of your throat in a raw, desperate cry.Β
His gaze turned up to you, green eyes wide and confused as he registered your presence mere metres away from reaching him. A whispered call of your name fell from his lips, quiet and waveringβ more tears streaming down his face.Β
There was no time to prepare before your body slammed into his, sending him stumbling back a few steps as your arms curled around his shoulders in a tight embrace, squeezing him tight. βZuku.β You sobbed, fingers curling into the dirty and tattered fabric of his suit. βOh god, Zuku. Iβ I didnβt know where you went after I found that letter. I was so worried and then there were the rumoursβ Are youββ
Another whisper of your name fell from his lips, big hands resting at your waist and pulling you closer. βIβ Iβm okay. Iβm sorry.β God, his voice. It was still so warm even after all heβs facing.Β
You pulled back, just enough to press your forehead to his, eyes squeezed shutβ savouring the feeling of him. βDonβt apologise.β You muttered, tears still roaming down both of your faces. βJustβ¦ just stay here.β Donβt go. Stay here with me, where itβs safe. You wanted to say, but you knew his departure was inevitable. He would leave you, again. And youβre not sure heβll return this time.
So you held him closer, lips inches away from each other as you both soaked in the warmth of the otherβs embrace. And for the first time in awhile, it felt like the sun was shining once again.
