Katsuki Bakugou x reader. You’ve always clashed with Katsuki Bakugou: fiery tempers, sharp words, constant rivalry. But when a training exercise goes wrong, you realize there’s more to his anger than you ever noticed, and the sparks between you might not be just from explosions.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The moment you saw him, you braced yourself.

Katsuki Bakugou.

Loud, aggressive, impossible to ignore, and somehow, always the center of your world; even when you swore you weren’t going to think about him.

Training had started like every other day: the usual drills, the usual banter. But today, something felt different. He moved with a kind of intensity you hadn’t noticed before, explosions flaring closer than usual, his eyes sharp as he studied every move you made.

“Oi! Watch it, idiot!” he yelled, as if reading your thoughts before you even had them.

“Maybe you should watch it, Bakugou!” You shot back, rolling to the side to dodge one of his sparks.

He didn’t even flinch. Instead, he scowled, flashing white gritted teeth, and you knew he’d noticed the little smirk that tugged at the corner of your lips. You’d never admit it, but you kind of liked that he noticed.

By the time the dust settled, you were both panting against the wall, bruises forming, laughter bubbling up despite yourselves.

“Not bad… for once,” he muttered, leaning back, arms crossed.

“Not bad?” you asked incredulously.

He smirked, the tiniest twitch, and muttered, “Shut up.”

Over the next few weeks, everything changed.

You noticed how he lingered just a second longer when you sparred, how his eyes followed your movements, and how he almost, but not quite, smiled when you teased him.

"I hate that I notice all of this," you thought bitterly one afternoon, fuming at your own heart. "Why does he have to get under my skin like this?"

He, of course, didn’t make it easy. The Bakugou you knew was still there.

Still yelling, still exploding, and still impossible to ignore.

But sometimes, in the quiet moments, he softened. The way he leaned against the wall after a grueling drill, the way he checked to make sure you were okay after sparring a little too rough.

One evening, the tension finally came to a head. You stayed behind after training, stretching out your arms while he cleaned up. The silence was heavy.

“You’re stubborn,” he muttered.

“And you’re insufferable,” you replied, though the bite in your voice had softened into something almost playful.

He exhaled sharply, fists clenching at his sides. “Yeah… but you’re stubborn too. Stubborn enough to make me… ugh, forget it.”

You tilted your head. “…Make you what?”

He scowled, looking anywhere but at you. “Forget it. Doesn’t matter.”

It does matter, you thought, frustration rising. You took a step closer. “It matters to me,” you said softly.

His jaw tightened. His gaze flicked up, locking with yours, and you saw something you’d never seen before: uncertainty, vulnerability. His eyes filled with something other than rage for once, instead filling with something raw and unguarded that made your heart pound.

The next day, everything changed again during a joint exercise. A simulated villain attack had gone sideways. You were pinned, targets closing in, panic tightening your chest. But before you could even think, he was there. Explosions flared at his fingertips, precise, controlled, and protective. He cut off the attackers, shielding you with his body, moving with a focus you hadn’t seen directed at anyone before.

“Stay close!” He barked, voice rough but tinged with care.

Your chest ached as he stood beside you, waiting until the last threat was gone. You noticed the faint tremble in his hands, the way his breathing hitched slightly.

Later, in the quiet of the training room, you both sat against the wall, bruised but alive. Your legs brushed, and this time, neither of you moved away.

“You okay?” he asked, voice quieter than usual.

“I am now,” you whispered.

He exhaled, running a hand through his hair. “Don’t get used to me being nice,” he muttered, but his lips twitched in a way that almost looked like a smile.

“No promises,” you said, grinning. “Because I've noticed that the great and powerful Katsuki does care.”

He froze, blinking at you, and then, suddenly, he leaned closer, eyes burning with something that wasn’t anger. “I care about you, idiot,” he admitted, voice low but firm. “More than I can stand sometimes. And I’m sick of pretending I don’t.”

Your heart lurched. Did he just… say that? You had always felt it—the little sparks, the teasing, the way he protected you—but hearing him say it made everything real.

“I care about you too,” you whispered. “I’ve always cared. I just never knew how to tell you.”

A beat of silence, then he grinned, sharp and mischievous as always, but softer this time. “Finally. Took you long enough to notice.”

You laughed, the tension draining from your chest. “Better late than never, Bakugou.”

"Katsuki, I want you to call me Katsuki," He shoved you lightly in the shoulder, still scowling, but the faint blush on his neck gave him away. “Don’t get used to this,” he said.

“I wouldn’t want it any other way,” you replied.

For the first time, both of you allowed the tension, the rivalry, and the fire between you to settle into something warmer. Sparks still flew; but now, they weren’t dangerous. They were yours.

And for once, neither of you tried to hide from them.

💥 YOI.

— Izuku Midoriya

Look at my All Might, Toshinori, Izuku, and Deku Funkos! School Midoriya came WITH the UA high-school model. I'm remodeling my office at the moment. These boys will get a shelf of thier own.

Already talked about it in another post, but the dorm rooms are individually unique. Some even were decorated that would make you think "that cannot be allowed" like Koda having a pet or Aoyama's abundance of mirrors.

Then there's the uniform bit.

Some of the students don't wear the standard shoes like Midoriya and Todoroki. Some don't wear the ties or jackets. Some wear accessories and makeup and I don't think having dyed hair is even a concern given in-universe, it's very common for people to have outlandish hair colors and styles due to quirks.

Compare Yuuei to other schools and you'll see some differences.

Shiketsu students wear their hats with their hero costumes and Ketsubutsu students' looked very uniformed when they first appeared. Same shirt worn the same way and I don't recall anyone wearing their bottoms different from their peers. Even the anime-only schools had everyone dressed the same way. The Seijin (ninja) and Seiai (all girls) schools.

Visually, it supposed to help differentiate the schools for the Provisional License Exam arc, but let's think deeper than that.

Who is the principal of Yuuei? Nezu.
