āāāāāā āā āā ā āāāāāā
Shoto Todoroki
The first time you called him ābro,ā Todoroki stopped mid-step. He stared at you, expression unreadable, like you had just spoken in a language he didnāt know.
āā¦Bro?ā he repeated slowly. His voice was quiet but tinged with confusion. āI thought I was your boyfriend.ā
You tried to laugh it off. āItās just something I say, Shoto. Donāt take it so seriously.ā
But of course, he did. Todoroki overthought it the rest of the day, replaying the word in his head, analyzing the context like he was preparing for an exam. Eventually, he asked, āDo you⦠call everyone that? Or was it just me?ā
When you explained it was just a slip of habit, he relaxed slightly, though his face stayed serious. āI donāt mind if you say it, butā¦ā He hesitated, cheeks turning faintly red. āIād rather you call me yours than your brother.ā
The next time you casually called someone else ādude,ā he muttered under his breath, āI see. So I am the bro.ā You had to hug him right then and there to make him stop sulking.

Katsuki Bakugo
It happened during an argument, of course. He was yelling, and you snapped back, āDude, youāre being way too loud!ā
Bakugo froze mid-shout, whipping his head toward you with wild eyes. āWhat the hell did you just call me?ā
āUh⦠dude?ā you answered carefully.
His face turned bright red. āIām not your dude! Iām your damn boyfriend!ā
You tried to stifle a laugh, which only made him bristle more. āDonāt laugh at me, dumbass! You think Iām some extra off the street you can just ābroā around?!ā
For the next week, any time you even started with ādāā he cut you off instantly. āDonāt even say it.ā Heād glare like youād insulted him personally.
But what he didnāt admit was how much it bugged him when you called other people ādude.ā The idea of you tossing that word at anyone else made him scowl twice as hard. Eventually, you teased him with a soft, āRelax, bro.ā
The explosion that followed nearly took out the couch.

Denki Kaminari
When ābroā slipped out of your mouth, Denki gasped like youād shattered his heart. He grabbed his chest dramatically, stumbling back. āBRO?! Babe, how could you?!ā
You tried to explain it was just a habit, but he was already spinning in circles. āYouāve friend-zoned me! Iām officially friend-zoned!ā
āDenkiāā
āNo, donāt try to take it back now,ā he said, flopping face-first onto the couch. āGuess Iām just your dude nowā¦ā
He whined about it for the rest of the day, pouting like a kicked puppy. But by the evening, when you hugged him from behind and murmured, āYouāre my boyfriend, not my bro,ā his mood flipped immediately. āReally? Okay, good. But⦠maybe just save the ābroā stuff for others, okay?ā

Midoriya Izuku
You were listening to him ramble about a new quirk theory when you interrupted with, āDude, slow down, youāre talking too fast.ā
Midoriya froze like his brain had blue-screened. āD-dude? Did you justāwait, did you mean me? You called me dude?!ā His face turned crimson in seconds.
You waved it off. āItās just something I say, Izuku. Donāt overthink it.ā
But of course, he did. His mind spun with questions: Did you think of him as a ādudeā before a boyfriend? Was it a sign you were too casual? Did it mean you were less serious about him? He tried to keep smiling, but you could practically see the steam pouring out of his ears.
Finally, you kissed his cheek and reassured him. āYouāre my boyfriend. Just⦠sometimes youāre also my dude.ā
He smiled sheepishly, scratching his neck. āO-oh⦠Okay. I can live with that.ā

Tenya Iida
The moment ābroā left your mouth, Tenyaās glasses flashed ominously. āExcuse me? Did you just call me ābroā?ā
You snorted, āYeah? Itās just a habit.ā
His arms started chopping the air at record speed. āI am your partner, not your sibling! Such casual terminology undermines the seriousness of our bond!ā
You tried not to laugh as he kept lecturing about āappropriate terms of endearmentā and ārespect within a relationship.ā
By the end, he sighed heavily, still adjusting his glasses. āIf it happens again, I will forgive you⦠but I prefer more precise terminology. āDarling,ā for example, would be acceptable.ā
You grinned, leaning close to whisper, āGot it, bro.ā
His yell could probably be heard across campus.

Eijirou Kirishima
You called him ādudeā after he nailed a move in training, and Kirishima blinked before grinning wide. āHell yeah, dude! Waitādid you mean me, or like⦠dude-dude?ā
You laughed. āYou. Obviously.ā
He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. āI donāt mind. I call everyone bro, so itās kinda cool if you call me that too. Makes me feel, I dunno⦠like weāre best friends and dating, yāknow?ā
Later, though, when you called him ābabe,ā he lit up even more. āSee? Thatās perfect! Call me bothāitās balanced, like protein and carbs.ā
Honestly, he didnāt care what you called him. As long as you kept smiling at him, ādudeā was just another way of saying you loved him.

Shouta Aizawa
It slipped out one morning when he handed you a coffee. āThanks, bro.ā
Aizawa stopped mid-sip of his own drink and gave you a long, deadpan stare. āā¦I donāt know if that was supposed to be affectionate or not, but donāt do it again.ā
You grinned at him. āWhat, you donāt want to be my bro?ā
He sighed, rubbing his temple. āI barely wanted to be awake. Now I apparently have to argue about semantics too.ā He didnāt press further, but the next time you tried it, his scarf immediately wrapped around your wrist as a warning.
Safe to say, you learned ābroā was not on his approved list of nicknames.

Tomura Shigaraki
You called him ādudeā while he was mashing buttons in the middle of a game.
āDude, youāre totally campingāā
He froze, eyes flicking toward you. āDid you just call me⦠dude?ā
āā¦Yeah?ā
He scoffed, turning back to the screen. āTch. Whatever.ā
But ten minutes later, his voice was quieter. āDonāt call anyone else that, though.ā
You blinked. āWhy not?ā
He hunched his shoulders, muttering, āāCause youāre mine. Not anyone elseās ādude.āā
His ears were burning red the whole time.

Hawks
You casually said, āBro, youāve got feathers everywhere. again.ā
Hawks clutched his chest dramatically, dropping to his knees. āBro? Darling, I thought we were lovers, not wingmen!ā
You rolled your eyes, but he kept it up all day. āHey, bro, pass me the remote.ā āBro, wanna grab dinner later?ā He leaned into the joke so hard it was impossible to escape.
Finally, you groaned, āOkay, okay! Youāre not my bro, youāre my boyfriend.ā
His grin softened into something gentler as he pressed a feather against your cheek. āGood. Just making sure you remember.ā

Dabi
The moment you called him ādude,ā his lips curled into a smirk. āDude, huh? Didnāt know I was one of the boys now.ā
You rolled your eyes. āDonāt be dramatic. Itās just a habit.ā
āOh no, I get it,ā he said, leaning in close, voice low and teasing. āYou donāt see me as your man. Iām just your pal, your buddy, your dude.ā He clutched his chest mockingly. āOuch. Right in the heart.ā
You pushed him away, laughing, but he didnāt drop it for the rest of the night. Still, when you later slipped and called him ābabyā instead, his grin turned softer, almost genuine.
He never admitted it, but between ādudeā and ābaby,ā he knew exactly which one he wanted to hear more.

Hanta Sero
You called him ābroā while the two of you were hanging out, and Sero immediately laughed. āBro? Guess weāre bros now.ā
You shrugged. āItās just a habit.ā
āDonāt worry, I donāt mind,ā he said with a grin. āBut if youāre gonna call me bro, youāve gotta balance it out with something sweeter too. Like⦠āhandsome.āā
You shook your head, but the next day, when you teased him with, āThanks, handsome dude,ā his grin nearly split his face in two.

Twice
The second ādudeā left your mouth, Twice staggered back like heād been stabbed. One side of him yelled, āTHEY JUST FRIEND-ZONED US!ā while the other half screamed back, āNO THEY DIDNāT, CALM DOWN!ā
You groaned, reaching for his hand. āJin, itās just a word. I didnāt friend-zone you.ā
He panicked for another solid minute, both sides arguing dramatically, before finally collapsing into your arms with a sigh. āFine, but donāt scare me like that again! Youāre not allowed to call me dude unless itās like, sexy-dude. Got it?ā
You kissed his forehead. āGot it, sexy-dude.ā
His whole face lit up like sunshine.
