I’m gonna be sooo self indulgent here, I have an ‘affectionate cat overwrite’ as I like to call it. My person is my person and the only one I get clingy and cuddly with sorta thing. I’ll still get overwhelmed by touching, but not quite as much and I’ve been wanting to write something with that in mind

Warnings: qpr, y’all just gaslight everyone who think you’re dating with no remorse

Pairing: Katsuki Bakugou x reader

-Honestly confuses everyone around them

-Bakugou isn’t the most openly affectionate person

-And (Yn) seems to not really like touching all that much, but is known to be more open with emotions

-So it’s strange to see them practically glued to each other’s side

-Whenever he was agitated and ready to snap, they seemed to know just what to do to soothe his nerves

-And he seemed in tune with them, always offering distractions and things to do when they were getting overwhelmed

-It looked like puppy love to everyone else

-Like the very beginnings of a deep and passionate love

-And no one knew how to mind their damn business about it and kept nosing around trying to find out more

-There’s nothing to find out though

-They are in love, just not the way anyone else is thinking

-The idea of that is mortifying to both and the one time they entertained the idea they both felt so gross and weird about it that they agreed to never think about it again

-Hard to do though

-Not when hanging out together always leads to someone trying to catch them being ‘romantic’ with each other

-If Bakugou has to explain his complete disinterest in sex and romance one more time only to be told that he clearly has a thing for (Yn) because he’s the only one that can get in their personal space without problems and he returns the favor

-He’s gonna lose it and actually murder someone

-Can’t a guy be close to someone who feels like he does and understands his boundaries the way he does theirs without their relationship to each other being analyzed?

-Definitely (Yn)’s idea to confuse them right back

-Oh? One of rare occasions they’re hugging because (Yn) actually wanted one and Baku makes an effort to make them feel comfortable about touching?

-“Aww, I knew you loved each other!” “The hell are you on about? I’m just trying to teach this idiot how you actually grapple someone!” “B-but you’re still—” “they’re really shit at it”

-Said while maintaining eye contact and playing with (Yn)’s hair and a look that says try to call me on it I dare you

-Up until they’ve met their touching limit and no longer wants the hug

Ok so we’re in for a treat because I get to talk about head canons of mine real quick.

This courtship looks so different because they’re a Beta. Betas don’t have the same type of rituals around partnerships and tend to be a lot more straightforward.

I think he’d be so nervous about it due to this, he doesn’t want his Beta to think he’s comparing them to an Omega but wants them to know how serious he is so his gift is actually a little unusual and not technically traditional.

A cool rock he’s found while hiking.

You know how some penguins collect pebbles as offerings/gifts for their mate?

That. That’s kinda what they do.

They have each other’s taste and personal interest memorized and pick up little trinkets for each other as a thinking of you gesture and will stop whatever they where doing just to buy that one thing that they’re certain they don’t have yet simply because they need it.
