.𖥔 ݁ ˖ Bakugo has a crush on you- Headcanons .𖥔 ݁ ˖
He has no rizz, slight angst?
—
1. It starts with confusion
You’re always on his mind, for no damn reason. He hears your laugh from down the hall and his chest tightens. Why? Why does it matter?
⸻
2. He hates how you make him feel calm.
The world is chaos, his brain is chaos. But when you’re around, it gets quiet. Peaceful. And it terrifies him because he’s never let anyone make him feel safe.
⸻
3. He starts avoiding you.
Not because he doesn’t want to be near you, but because he wants it too much. And wanting something so badly makes him feel weak.
⸻
4. He overcorrects.
He yells more. He snaps at you. He’s colder. You look hurt, and his stomach drops, but he can’t stop himself. He thinks if he pushes you away, maybe he can stop feeling.
⸻
5. You touch his arm casually one day.
And he freezes. It’s not even romantic, but the warmth of it lingers like a brand. That one moment replays in his head all night, and he doesn’t sleep.
⸻
6. He catches himself looking for you.
In crowds, in class, in missions. His eyes always wander until they find you, and then he scolds himself for it. “What the hell is wrong with me?”
⸻
7. He starts getting angry.
With himself. With his heart. With the way you make him feel like he’s 15 again, like a dumb kid who doesn’t know what to do with emotions.
⸻
8. He picks fights with Deku.
Not because of Deku. But because fighting is easier than sitting still with all the feelings clawing at his chest.
⸻
9. He wants to talk to someone, but he can’t.
Kirishima would listen. But how is he supposed to say “I think I like them and it’s driving me insane”? So he bottles it up and pretends he’s fine.
⸻
10. He ruins a moment.
You smile at him one day, just you and him, quiet. You look soft and open and maybe even hopeful. And he says something sharp and defensive. You flinch. He hates himself immediately.
⸻
11. He thinks he’s not enough.
He’s loud, angry, explosive. You deserve someone gentle, someone who doesn’t shove people away. The thought eats at him.
⸻
12. He watches you laugh with someone else.
You’re happy. And he knows he doesn’t deserve to ruin that with his mess of emotions. But it feels like being punched in the gut.
⸻
13. He starts writing it down.
Not to show anyone, but because the words are too heavy in his chest. Pages full of scribbled, ugly, furious confessions: “I think about you all the time.” “I hate how much I care.” “Why the hell do I want to hold your hand so bad?”
⸻
14. He starts dreaming about you.
And not even in that way, just soft dreams. You brushing hair from his face. You laughing at something he said. Waking up hurts.
⸻
15. He breaks one night.
After a long day, after seeing you smile at someone else, he ends up sitting alone in the dorm stairwell, fists clenched, heart racing. He whispers, “I like you. God, I f*cking like you,” like it’s a sin.
⸻
16. He can’t keep pretending.
He tries to act normal, but everything feels fake. His jokes fall flat. His temper’s worse. He’s cracking under the weight of feelings he never asked for.
⸻
17. He remembers how kind you are.
And that’s what finally breaks him. You’re so kind. To everyone. Even to him when he doesn’t deserve it. And it makes him want to be better, makes him want to be worthy.
⸻
18. He wants to tell you but doesn’t know how.
How do you confess something that feels like your soul? How do you tell someone they’ve changed the way your heart works?
⸻
19. When he finally confesses, it’s raw.
It’s not romantic. It’s not planned. He’s pacing, breath shaky, and suddenly he just says it:
“I can’t take this anymore, I like you. It’s stupid, and messy, and I don’t know how to fix it, but it’s real. You’re in my head all the damn time and I don’t want anyone else. I don’t want to feel this way but I do.”
⸻
20. He waits, terrified.
For the first time in a long time, Bakugo is afraid. Not of villains. Not of failure. But of losing you. Because you matter. More than he ever thought someone could.
