Reader casually calls them âbroâ or âdude,â and these are the boysâ reactions. Expect a mix of confusion, overthinking, teasing, and over-the-top dramatics.
ââââââ ââ ââ â ââââââ
Shoto Todoroki
The first time you called him âbro,â Todoroki stopped mid-step. He stared at you, expression unreadable, like you had just spoken in a language he didnât know.
ââŚBro?â he repeated slowly. His voice was quiet but tinged with confusion. âI thought I was your boyfriend.â
You tried to laugh it off. âItâs just something I say, Shoto. Donât take it so seriously.â
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, âDo you⌠call everyone that? Or was it just me?â
When you explained it was just a slip of habit, he relaxed slightly, though his face stayed serious. âI donât mind if you say it, butâŚâ He hesitated, cheeks turning faintly red. âIâd rather you call me yours than your brother.â
The next time you casually called someone else âdude,â he muttered under his breath, âI see. So I am the bro.â 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, âDude, youâre being way too loud!â
Bakugo froze mid-shout, whipping his head toward you with wild eyes. âWhat the hell did you just call me?â
âUh⌠dude?â you answered carefully.
His face turned bright red. âIâm not your dude! Iâm your damn boyfriend!â
You tried to stifle a laugh, which only made him bristle more. âDonât laugh at me, dumbass! You think Iâm some extra off the street you can just âbroâ around?!â
For the next week, any time you even started with âdââ he cut you off instantly. âDonât even say it.â Heâd glare like youâd insulted him personally.
But what he didnât admit was how much it bugged him when you called other people âdude.â The idea of you tossing that word at anyone else made him scowl twice as hard. Eventually, you teased him with a soft, âRelax, bro.â
The explosion that followed nearly took out the couch.

Denki Kaminari
When âbroâ slipped out of your mouth, Denki gasped like youâd shattered his heart. He grabbed his chest dramatically, stumbling back. âBRO?! Babe, how could you?!â
You tried to explain it was just a habit, but he was already spinning in circles. âYouâve friend-zoned me! Iâm officially friend-zoned!â
âDenkiââ
âNo, donât try to take it back now,â he said, flopping face-first onto the couch. âGuess Iâm just your dude nowâŚâ
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, âYouâre my boyfriend, not my bro,â his mood flipped immediately. âReally? Okay, good. But⌠maybe just save the âbroâ stuff for others, okay?â
⸝
Midoriya Izuku
You were listening to him ramble about a new quirk theory when you interrupted with, âDude, slow down, youâre talking too fast.â
Midoriya froze like his brain had blue-screened. âD-dude? Did you justâwait, did you mean me? You called me dude?!â His face turned crimson in seconds.
You waved it off. âItâs just something I say, Izuku. Donât overthink it.â
But of course, he did. His mind spun with questions: Did you think of him as a âdudeâ 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. âYouâre my boyfriend. Just⌠sometimes youâre also my dude.â
He smiled sheepishly, scratching his neck. âO-oh⌠Okay. I can live with that.â

Tenya Iida
The moment âbroâ left your mouth, Tenyaâs glasses flashed ominously. âExcuse me? Did you just call me âbroâ?â
You snorted, âYeah? Itâs just a habit.â
His arms started chopping the air at record speed. âI am your partner, not your sibling! Such casual terminology undermines the seriousness of our bond!â
You tried not to laugh as he kept lecturing about âappropriate terms of endearmentâ and ârespect within a relationship.â
By the end, he sighed heavily, still adjusting his glasses. âIf it happens again, I will forgive you⌠but I prefer more precise terminology. âDarling,â for example, would be acceptable.â
You grinned, leaning close to whisper, âGot it, bro.â
His yell could probably be heard across campus.
⸝
Eijirou Kirishima
You called him âdudeâ after he nailed a move in training, and Kirishima blinked before grinning wide. âHell yeah, dude! Waitâdid you mean me, or like⌠dude-dude?â
You laughed. âYou. Obviously.â
He chuckled, rubbing the back of his neck. âI donât mind. I call everyone bro, so itâs kinda cool if you call me that too. Makes me feel, I dunno⌠like weâre best friends and dating, yâknow?â
Later, though, when you called him âbabe,â he lit up even more. âSee? Thatâs perfect! Call me bothâitâs balanced, like protein and carbs.â
Honestly, he didnât care what you called him. As long as you kept smiling at him, âdudeâ was just another way of saying you loved him.

Shouta Aizawa
It slipped out one morning when he handed you a coffee. âThanks, bro.â
Aizawa stopped mid-sip of his own drink and gave you a long, deadpan stare. ââŚI donât know if that was supposed to be affectionate or not, but donât do it again.â
You grinned at him. âWhat, you donât want to be my bro?â
He sighed, rubbing his temple. âI barely wanted to be awake. Now I apparently have to argue about semantics too.â He didnât press further, but the next time you tried it, his scarf immediately wrapped around your wrist as a warning.
Safe to say, you learned âbroâ was not on his approved list of nicknames.
⸝
Tomura Shigaraki
You called him âdudeâ while he was mashing buttons in the middle of a game.
âDude, youâre totally campingââ
He froze, eyes flicking toward you. âDid you just call me⌠dude?â
ââŚYeah?â
He scoffed, turning back to the screen. âTch. Whatever.â
But ten minutes later, his voice was quieter. âDonât call anyone else that, though.â
You blinked. âWhy not?â
He hunched his shoulders, muttering, ââCause youâre mine. Not anyone elseâs âdude.ââ
His ears were burning red the whole time.
⸝
Hawks
You casually said, âBro, youâve got feathers everywhere. again.â
Hawks clutched his chest dramatically, dropping to his knees. âBro? Darling, I thought we were lovers, not wingmen!â
You rolled your eyes, but he kept it up all day. âHey, bro, pass me the remote.â âBro, wanna grab dinner later?â He leaned into the joke so hard it was impossible to escape.
Finally, you groaned, âOkay, okay! Youâre not my bro, youâre my boyfriend.â
His grin softened into something gentler as he pressed a feather against your cheek. âGood. Just making sure you remember.â
⸝
Dabi
The moment you called him âdude,â his lips curled into a smirk. âDude, huh? Didnât know I was one of the boys now.â
You rolled your eyes. âDonât be dramatic. Itâs just a habit.â
âOh no, I get it,â he said, leaning in close, voice low and teasing. âYou donât see me as your man. Iâm just your pal, your buddy, your dude.â He clutched his chest mockingly. âOuch. Right in the heart.â
You pushed him away, laughing, but he didnât drop it for the rest of the night. Still, when you later slipped and called him âbabyâ instead, his grin turned softer, almost genuine.
He never admitted it, but between âdudeâ and âbaby,â he knew exactly which one he wanted to hear more.
⸝
Hanta Sero
You called him âbroâ while the two of you were hanging out, and Sero immediately laughed. âBro? Guess weâre bros now.â
You shrugged. âItâs just a habit.â
âDonât worry, I donât mind,â he said with a grin. âBut if youâre gonna call me bro, youâve gotta balance it out with something sweeter too. Like⌠âhandsome.ââ
You shook your head, but the next day, when you teased him with, âThanks, handsome dude,â his grin nearly split his face in two.
⸝
Twice
The second âdudeâ left your mouth, Twice staggered back like heâd been stabbed. One side of him yelled, âTHEY JUST FRIEND-ZONED US!â while the other half screamed back, âNO THEY DIDNâT, CALM DOWN!â
You groaned, reaching for his hand. âJin, itâs just a word. I didnât friend-zone you.â
He panicked for another solid minute, both sides arguing dramatically, before finally collapsing into your arms with a sigh. âFine, but donât scare me like that again! Youâre not allowed to call me dude unless itâs like, sexy-dude. Got it?â
You kissed his forehead. âGot it, sexy-dude.â
His whole face lit up like sunshine.
