GAME ON GEMG! bakugo katsuki
synopsis you love streamer dynamight. you do not love student katsuki bakugo. there may or may not be a difference between the two.
you walk outside of your dorm building and see katsuki waiting on his phone, leaning on the handrail of your stairs. “katsuki?” and he immediately perks up, placing his phone into his pocket, giving you a small smile when you both lock eyes.
“hey,” he begins, walking over to you. seeing that you’re only in a short sleeve shirt, he removes his jacket and places it over you, “it’s cold, y/n. don’t wanna catch a fever now.” he offers his hand to you, and you take it, allowing him to lead you over to his car. “sorry for the quick notice, i just wanted to do something with ya.”
he opens the passenger door for you when you reach the car, and you mumble a thank you before he hops inside the driver seat. “it smells nice,” you mutter, looking around the interior of his car, which is weirdly decorated just like his room.
katsuki looks over at you before starting the car, “my jacket or the car?”
he shrugs, “wanted to impress ya. safe to say it worked?” and with that, he drives off into the night.
ice cream beings out the truest and deepest parts of your soul.
atleast, that’s how you feel. socrates said something like that you think, but now it’s really coming into fruition.
“yeah i don’t know, i was always just… told that i’m the greatest, and i think as a kid, it really got to my head,” katsuki explains, taking a bite of his ice cream. “I mean shit, you give a kid a big ass ego trip since he’s like 2 years old and he’ll take it to the fucking moon.” the air remains quiet while you listen, with only the passing of cars in the highway to break the silence. “i fucked up big time. hurt so many people in my life… i mean fuck, especially deku.”
“bullied him like no other. we’re childhood friends but for some fucking reason, i had this feeling he was always looking down on me.”
you look at him with genuine curiosity, “why’d you think that?”
katsuki takes a deep breath before continuing, “i think… i think he was just always at my side, capable of everything i could do and sometimes even more… and i guess it just bruised my fragile ego. i hurt izuku, so fucking bad. he forgave me, fuck always has even in middle school but…” he tapers off, letting the quiet roll back in.
“katsuki…” you gently grab his hand, squeezing it, “you can’t blame yourself for what you did in the past. i mean, don’t get me wrong, it’s fucked up, but what matters more is how you strive to be a better person day by day.”
“i know… it’s just… i wonder if that’s really me. like what if i’m just a fucked up person?”
you scoot closer to him, leaning your head on his shoulder. “well tell me, did you apologize to ‘zuku?”
“so many times, i can’t even count.”
you give him a small hum in acknowledgement. “are you doing any kind of self help?”
a pause. “therapy, meditation practices, anger management classes.”
“and you believe you’ve changed?”
no pause this time. “definitely.”
you take another lick of your ice cream, “so you’re not fucked up. you’re striving to be a better person, and sure, that’s not the only thing that qualifies someone as a good person, but i can tell that you, katsuki bakugo, are not a bad person.” you let him take in your words before continuing on, “and bro, you’ve done more than most people can even attempt to do. you’re furthering your education, you’re in therapy and all this shit to better yourself. many people can only ever admit they have a problem, not actively sort through their issues. give yourself credit where it’s due—yes, you fucked up, but you’re making amends and fixing the things that gave you trouble.”
katsuki just stares into the distance, watching the night sky as cars whoosh by in the distance. “yeah… i guess you’re right. i’m trying, and that’s what matters right now.” he turns his head to look at you, flashing a quick smile, “guess my baby has a lot more wisdom up there than i thought.”
one quick eye roll and you push him a bit, “the hell’s that supposed to mean?”
“just thought the only thing you thought up there was how much you wanted to fuck me.”
it’s silent for a few seconds after he says those words. “katsuki… are you flirting with me?”
“have been for the past few weeks, but thanks for noticing.” you turn to face him, wanting to see if there’s any discrepancy in his facial expression, but there’s no sign of lie or doubt in it.
you have no fucking idea why him being so close to you had any impact on your mind, but you look at his eyes… then his lips, and you watch as he stares at your own face intently.
before you can even think, you lean in and kiss him.
the best part? he’s kissing you back.
