wake up and choose violence

–

You stood there,shocked at what he said to you, “I… what?”

“If you workedharder, trained harder, just simply tried harder,” Mirio grabbedyour hands, smile on his face, “You could be at the top too.Show your brother how to be better.”

Your youngerbrother was Katsuki, explosive hothead. You both had the same quirk,just different personalities. You didn’t let the praise get to yourhead. However, no one messed with your family, nor did they have theright to talk shit.

“What are youtrying to say about my brother and I, Mirio?”

–

Followingthe training that day, you followed class 1-A out, walking besideyour brother and his friends.

“Soy/n, that was your boyfriend?!” Mina was gushing, “he’samazing! Not to mention his quirk is pretty cool too!”

Youjust simply nodded, not in the mood to talk about him after yourfight. Not after you’ve been reconsidering the relationship.

Miriowas fantastic to you. He was always smiling, laughing, and would doanything to make you happy. You couldn’t explain it, but you wantedmore. You wanted something else? You weren’t sure what you wantedat this point but after last night, you were sure it wasn’t Mirio.

“Oi,I’m talking to you, y/n,” Bakugo elbowed you, bringing you back,“were you even listening to me?”

“Listeningto you? Don’t know her,” you shrugged a little, “What’s up?”

Kirishimaperked up before your brother could explode, “Bakugo offered tostudy with me this weekend,” he flashed you that winning smile, andoh gosh those puppy eyes, was he was always this cute? “would youmind helping us out?”

Howcould you say no to him? With those eyes, that smile, thoseshoulders, body-

Youquickly looked back up at his face, flustered, “Oh, uh, yeah sure!”

“Awesome!”Of course he flexed to show his excited. Of course.

–

Youbroke up with Mirio before the weekend. He didn’t fully understandwhy, but he accepted it. He accepted that you could still be friends.And that you both wouldn’t let this get in the way of class, or thefuture. It was a clean, and honest break up.

Wordgot around quickly, and the days blew by. Before you knew it, youwere helping Katsuki and Kirishima study for a test.

“Aizawareally isn’t going easy on you,” you frowned at the textbook, notremembering having to go through all of this in your first year,“hey, go get us some water.”

“Anythingto get away from his shitty brain,” Bakugo stormed out, sick ofeverything as usual.

Yousighed and apologized. Kirishima was actually doing great so far.Your brother just had a bad habit of not saying good things, even ifhe meant well.

“Hey,so I heard about your weekend,” Kirishima started slowly, rubbingthe back of his neck, “and I just wanted to say-”

Youcut him off with a wave of your hand, “It’s fine. It was bound tohappen. I just… actually, you probably don’t want to hear this,sorry. Let’s um, let’s get back to the work.”

“No!No, I want to hear about it. I mean, you probably need to let it out,right?”

Ittook you few minutes to think it over, but in the end you agreed. Asquickly as you could, you let it all out. How Mirio was overbearing,how it just felt wrong to be with him. How you just needed more ofsomething. How he insulted your drive, your brother, without meaningto.

Youstarted telling Kirishima how happy you were. How Mirio always madeyou smile, how amazingly he treated you. How he always had the bestintentions. How much he loved you.

Bythe end of it, you were crying. You were hurting, you missed Mirio,but there was no going back. You just needed more from life than hecould give you.

Strong,warm arms wrapped around you. The comforting embrace wasn’tsomething you were going to reject. Reciprocating the hug, you buriedyour face into Kirishima’s chest while he rested his head on yours.

Thedoor swung open, you heard a curse, and the door slam shut.

“Can’tyou do this in your room, y/n? When we’re not studying? For fuckssake, just help yourselves out for once in a blue fucking moon,”Bakugo’s muffled shouts sounded through the door, breaking you andKirishima apart.

Youthanked Kirishima and wiped your tears away, “Sorry, Suki. You cancome back in.”

-

Afterstudying for another few hours, you all called it quits. Dinner wascalling, and the smell was wafting into the room, nearly making yousalivate.

Beforeyou could leave, Katsuki called out, “Listen, if you two plan on…fuck, I can’t believe I’m saying this. If you two plan on gettingtogether, whatever. Keep it away from me, I don’t want to see yourheart eyes, your kissy faces, nothing.”

Bothyou and Kirishima were frozen, blushing. At the same you jumped back,shaking your heads.

“It’snot like that!”

“Dude,it was one hug!”

“Ijust broke up with Mirio!”

“Yeah,she’s beautiful but you’re my Bakubro!”

“Exactly!Wait, what?”

Youlooked to Kirishima, having fully registered what he said. He flushedmore, if possible, and Katsuki groaned before walking out.

Nervously,he repeated, “I think you’re beautiful. Everything about youdrives me crazy. Your smile, your laugh,” Kirishima grew moreconfident as he went.

“Theway you move. The way you’re don’t stop until you get what youwant. Nothing stands in your way, like another Bakugo I know. Exceptyou’re prettier. And less explosive.

“Ifyou’d let me, I’d like to take you out sometime?”

Hiswords struck you. They were beautiful, and resounded inside you. Hewas genuine, he would obviously support you. Something about him wasscreaming ‘I would do anything for you’ and it sent shiversthroughout your body. You hadn’t felt this way since Mirio firstshowed interest.

Sure,you had just broken up with him. But it felt as though it dieda long time ago. You felt as if you had been single for a while. Itdidn’t feel too soon to date again. Not to mention, you did have aschoolgirl crush on Kirishima. That lasted about a month, beforeMirio caught your attention.

“Yeah!I’d love to go out with you, Eijirou. How about dinner? Tonight, myplace? Right now?”

Youwere standing in the middle of his room, torn between rolling in hisbed or taking a sweater. With the bed, it would filled with hisscent, not to mention how warm and comfy it was. It would all tooeasy to just fall asleep there, until he came back. The more youthought about it, the more inviting it seemed. Overwhelmingly so.

But,he would most definitely be annoyed over the fact that you had messedhis bed up.

Sweaterit was.

Afterdigging through his dresser and coming up with nothing, you eyed upthe closet.

Bingo.

Sittingin the bottom of the closet, were a few moving boxes. They werepressed more to the back, somewhat hidden by the clothes hanging up.This struck you as odd, especially considering how tidy Bakugo was.There was a place for everything, so why did he not have a place forwhatever was in the boxes? Did he simply overestimate the size of hisroom? Was this seasonal clothing?

Whateverit was, you were going to find out. After all, you were looking asweater.

Whatyou weren’t looking for, was this.

Merchandise.Posters, tshirts, albums, everything you could possibly imagine thatcomes with the territory of fandom. Of being a massive fan.

Whoknew that Bakugo was a huge Ariana Grande fan?

Youpulled out a sweater, not really minding that it said “Thank U,Next” on it. As long as it was warm, comfy, and smelled like him.

–

“Y/N!I love your sweater!!” Mina grabbed onto you for a better look,“Where did you even get this? I’ve looked everywhere, andeveryone is out of stock!”

“Oh,it’s not mine. Found it in Baku… uh, in the,” you stumbled overyour words, looking for a way out of the truth quickly, “In theback closet?”

Thelook on her face screamed that she didn’t believe you.

Italso screamed chaos, and something about it made you believe that youwere all about to get into some sort of trouble.

–

Seroheld up his phone, along with Kaminari, to live stream what washappening.

“HeyU.A! The Bakusquad is back at it! This time, we’re doing anunboxing of sorts,” Sero laughed, pointing his phone at the twomoving boxes that came from Bakugo’s closet. They had brought themdown to the common room, and set up a makeshift filming area. Tapedoff by Sero himself.

Minajumped up, “Heck yeah! Wefound two mysterious boxes… and you’ll never guess where theycame from. Hint, we called him mcboom boy.”

Yousat on the floor beside the boxes, head in your hands. You cannotbelieve that you got roped into this. It felt like this was all yourfault. If you lost his trust over this, well, you didn’t even wantto think about that.

“Herewe go! And first item is… holy crap, it’s..”

Theyall started laughing and getting up close into the box.

“It’sfilled with Ariana Grande stuff! Oh man, this is amazing!”

“Hestans Ariana!”

“Godis a woman, and Bakugo worships her! Just like we all should!”

Thenit happened.

Hecame back early.

Bakugowalked into the common room, and everyone took a few seconds toprocess what was happening. Then it was pure chaos.

“Oh, he don’t like that.”

Seroand Kaminari took off, still live streaming, screaming. Mina jumpedover the couch to hide behind it. Youand Kirishima triedto grab Bakugo to hold him back. Bakugo himself was yelling his usualprofanities, small explosions coming from his hands.

Whenhe calmed down, you both carried the boxes back up to his room.Bakugo grumbled the entire time, about idiots not knowing whatpersonal space is. And something about how they could’ve wreckedhis stuff.

Oncein his room, you kissed his cheek, “I’m sorry we’re all idiots,Katsuki. But we love you, and you love us.”

Hewould never admit it, but you both knew it was true.
