pairing: fem!reader x katsuki bakugo; mutual pining
summary: nervous bakugo. nervous bakugo. nervous bakugo. nervous bakugo. nervous bakugo. nervous bakugo.
a/n: this is honestly just self indulgent.
Bakugo doesn't typically get nervous.
He felt confident in his academic ability. While Yaoyorozu took the spot as the top ranking student from the recent math test, he was still near the top with a near perfect score.
As for his quirk, he's come a long way being a third year and all. He continues to surpass his limits every day. He feels satisfied while looking at the gradual progression of his physical ability.
Regardless, there's no preparation when he sees you walk into homeroom.
He can feel his heart beating a bit faster than usual. Hearing his heart beating in his ears.
So he tries to slow down his breathing.
But that makes his head go dizzy.
So he throws that plan out the window.
He tries to breathe like normal. But then what's the normal pace for breathing? Or what was normal for him?
He can feel his palm get sweaty as he was gripping his pencil. He quickly wipes his hands on his uniform pants.
Small, almost silent, pricks can be heard from the combination of Bakugo's quirk and his pants.
All while he is trying to remember how to breathe normally.
He almost didn’t realize that you sat next time to him if it wasn't your perfume.
It was sweet.
You were sweet. Always considerate and kind towards your friends.
Friends.
Pretty sure you guys are somewhat friends, Bakugo likes to think.
You guys don’t talk much though, Bakugo tries to keep the conversation to a minimum, not because he doesn't like you.
Quite the opposite, actually. It's because he will turn into a stuttering, blushing mess if you look at him with those pretty eyes of yours.
Don't believe me? Let's take a look at last week incident, shall we?
It was a day at gym gamma for class 1-a, typical quirk-strengthening session for them. Everyone was occupied with their own physical abilities.
Kirishima, in particular, was tearing up a rock wall with his hardening quirk. The wall began to have multiple cracks, in fact, a large one was scaling to the top.
A piece of debris was about to fall.
Kirishima looked up a bit too late and saw that the slab of rock was leaning above Bakugo.
Bakugo, on the other hand, was absorbed in his training as he was perfecting his aim for his AP shot move. His arms felt heavy and his arms were getting tired of the weight of his gauntlets.
"Bakugo, watch out!" Kirishima calls out.
Bakugo quickly looks to his side, listening to Kirishima's warning, but he realizes what used to be a sunny spot, was overshadowed by something.
Bakugo looks up and sees the upcoming rubble.
He didn't have time to blink before the falling debris was pulverized.
Bakugo looked in awe yet confusion at how sudden all this was, and wondering how did he not get smushed?
"You're a real damsel in distress aren't you?"
Bakugo's eyes widened at the familiar feminine voice and the source as to why he wasn't just crushed right now.
He looks to his left side and sees you smirking.
Actually, he wished the boulder crushed him.
"Y-you're the real damsel in distress here!"
"Yeah? Will you be my knight and shining armor, then?" Y/n said while nearing Bakugo.
Katsuki's face felt like it was on fire. He developed enough sweat to blow up a small village.
"No, of course not! Save yourself!"
"Aaah so you don't want to be number one then, huh?"
"Huh!? I-I never said that! Don't put words in my mouth, extra!"
Y/n only chuckled a bit and as the moment passed, she looked at Bakugo with a look that he couldn't really describe, but she looked like she was on the cusp of asking something.
But she blew out some air and walked away, returning to her spot in the gym to resume her training.
And you being effortlessly stunning doesn’t really help.
“Pst, Bakugo. Did you study for today’s quiz?”
Bakugo nearly jumped out of his seat. Hearing you say his name was music to his ears. His heart beat feels like a rising crescendo on a drum set.
"Tch, of course."
"Damn, I kinda forgot" Y/n laughed a bit and sent an easy-going smile his way.
Bakugo feels like he's melting at that smile of yours. It's like you want him to embarrass himself.
Before Bakugo can reprimand you, Aizawa enters the classroom and begins class.
The bell rang, signaling it's time for lunch.
Class 1-a made their way to the cafeteria, splitting to different groups as such.
Bakugo was observant. Well, specifically towards Y/n. He felt like whenever he got the chance his eyes always gravitated towards her.
Y/n typically sat at Midoryia's table, so she was walking beside Uraraka towards the line to get food.
"Ooo! Y/n, c',mon, hurry! They are going to run out of curry buns!" Uraraka urges her friend to join her in running to make the line.
"Alright, alright. I'm coming!" She starts to pick up the pace.
However, there was a small puddle in Y/n's way, of course, she didn't notice this.
One wrong placement of her foot, and she was slipping backwards.
Uraraka looked back and realized, but it was too late as she reached out her hand, hoping to help.
Y/n squeezed her eyes shut at the impact, but it never came.
Someone did catch Y/n.
And it was a certain spiky haired kid with sandy blonde hair who had the biggest crush on her.
Y/n opened her eyes and looked into Bakugo's.
It took a couple seconds to realize how close they were.
They were so close, so close that if they were any closer, they would probably touch-
Oh, boy, did they turn into ripe tomatoes.
Bakugo immediately raised Y/n so quickly as if her skin was scalding hot water. Y/n letting out a small yelp in response.
Now, they stood facing each other, letting silence take over.
"Um-"
"Thanks for catching me!" Y/n spoke quickly and began to speed walk in the opposite direction, trying to catch up with Uraraka.
While Bakugo was still trying to process at how close in proximity they were just a few seconds ago.
It was quick, but Y/n turned back to see Bakugo still standing there.
She looked sorta conflicted, but she ended up quickly making her way back to Bakugo. Until she was right infront of him once again, but was a lot closer.
She quickly got on her tip toes and kissed his cheek and said, "I guess you really are my knight in shining armor." And once again, turned and left as fast as she arrived, leaving Bakugo speechless.
He felt like his world stopped for a good minute.
He touched his cheek where you kissed, trying to savor the feeling.
“You okay, y/n?” Ochako asked as her friend finally caught up to her.
“Yeah, just a bit flustered is all.” Y/n reassured with a small smile.
It was the end of the school day, class 1-a was retiring to their dorm rooms.
Y/n was walking with Mina while Bakugo and Kirishima were behind them.
"How well do you think you did on that quiz today? I guessed on some of them, but I feel like I got most of the concepts down." Mina questions.
"Let's just say I'd be surprised if I got anything right on that quiz." Y/n said with a scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.
Mina throws her head back and laughs, as Y/n looks down with a small smile playing her lips.
"Hey Y/n, you should get Bakugo to tutor you. He may not look it, but he really gets the material." Kirishima refers to his explosive bestie.
Kirishima knew the little crush Bakugo had, it was obvious to see. Nonetheless, Y/n felt that maybe her feelings weren't reciprocated.
Y/n looks behind at Kirishima, head nods, then turns her attention to Bakugo.
Bakugo took a self note to blast Kirishima into the sky later for putting him on the spot, especially in front Y/n.
"It's not that hard." Bakugo mumbled.
Y/n noticed Bakugo's face to be redder than usual, but she chalked it up to the cold weather at the moment.
Kirishima and Mina shared a knowing looked, which led to Mina exasperatedly say, "Okay, well we'll let you guys sort out of the details. Let's go Kirishima! Let's see what we are having for dinner." Mina and Kirishima walked off to the dorm building.
Y/n made a mental note to scold Mina about leaving her alone, especially with Bakugo.
There was some silence.
Bakugo felt like his mind was going a million miles per hour at the moment. Trying to find the right words to go about this.
"So, I hear you're a tutor" "We can tutor in my room"
They spoke at the same time.
Then the silence erupted again.
The mere thought of being alone in a room with Bakugo, even just studying, made Y/n turn into a tomato.
While Bakugo thought he jumped the gun at offering his room to study. She didn't even ask yet!
"That sounds great!" "N-no I mean."
Again, simultaneously.
Y/n let out a breathy laugh at how awkward this is going. If only the pair weren’t so awkward with each other.
"Oh, so you can't tutor me?" Y/n asked slowly to make sure she's clear.
"No! I mean, yes!"
Y/n titled her head to one side in confusion at his dual answers.
Bakugo thought it was the cutest thing, though.
"I mean, I can tutor you” Bakugo lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding, “if you want”.
Y/n let out a sigh of relief as well, trying to calm her racing heart.
"I'd like that." Y/n smiles at Bakugo and he feels his legs turn to jelly. He merely nods, trying to act cool.
Y/n turns to walk into the dorms. As soon as she is inside, Bakugo finally lets up on his stone-cold feature and jumps up in excitement at being successful in talking to Y/n.
He even raised his fist in the air for the achievement, doing his happy dance.
The moment of success was short lived as he turned back to the entrance of the dorms and spots Y/n through the window, staring at him with wide eyes.
Bakugo is beyond embarrassed.
However, y/n just offers a lighthearted smile and a wave.
He returns the favor and walks in.
As much as he thought that he was an absolute dork in front of her, he couldn’t help the smile that reached his face.
todays ship : shinkamideku
so!! many!! cuddles!!
suprisingly hitoshi prefers being in the middle of the cuddle pile
but they take turns (he just ends up there most often)
denki tries to bake them cupcakes often
it never goes well
izuku has to be pulled away by his boyfriends to stop him from buying entire candy stores
all 3 of them LOVE to read and write and will usually be found sprawled over one another literally anywhere doing so
yes they all write on ao3 and yes they dont tell their boyfriends about it and yes they all unknowingly hype up each others works
denki and izuku both keep balloons for as long as possible, even if they’re mostly deflated as long as its not touching the ground it stays in their rooms
“please. dear god please throw them away” “hitoshi you’re being unreasonable we’ve only had these ones for 2 weeks”
they pass notes in class and it’s never a secret, aizawa just doesn’t care
its usually just dumb drawings or says variations of “ur pretty”
denki is constantly posting on twitter, tiktok, and instagram stories and it’s the only way his boyfriends know what he’s actually feeling
hitoshi is a sucker for sour candies and he’s spoiled with them CONSTANTLY
izuku has a stash of legos in his room and they have friday lego night
their favorite date of all time : star gazing
going to the movies is a close second
izuku is shy around them in public, but when it’s just the three of them denki is the shyest
they’re just so in love
I have decided to write out my Bakugo x reader fanfic idea!
It’s name will be...
Indeed a very magical name 😌😌(based off a BTS Song cause I can-)
Hopefully I can get the first chapter out today!
Stay tuned 😉😉

tenko shimura x reader
“mist stop w all of the domestic bliss drabbles!” NO!!!!!! n e ways here’s post rehabilitation tenko :)
cw’s!!: gn! reader, bathing together (nonsexual), not canon compliant!! (he’s in rehab and staying w UR family :]), he is so emotionally constipated i luv him, andddd i think that’s it!! ^.^
wc: 673
“are you sure this is okay?” tenko’s voice is soft from his spot behind you. there’s a quiet sound of the lukewarm — not either of your preferences for temperature, but it was better for his skin — water sloshing when he shifted to hook his chin over your shoulder, his rough cheek lightly brushing against yours.
you know why he’s asking that, but you act oblivious. “it’s late, i’m sure my family doesn’t mind us hogging the bathroom while they’re asleep.” his arms unconsciously tighten around your middle.
“no, like-“ he lets out a small huff, cutting off his own words. it sounds like he’s about to drop the topic altogether just because he can’t find the right words, but he continues. you’re happy he’s learning to grow out of that habit.
“is this okay…? staying here, i mean.”
“tenko, my family really likes you.” he falters.
“i don’t understand how they could…”
“because i love you, so they love you too.”
his lips pull into a small frown at that.
“they can’t just ignore what i’ve done, they’d be stupid to do that.” there’s a lilt of irritation behind his words but you know better than to take it personally.
“they’re not ignoring what you’ve done. they trust you, tenko.” there’s always this annoying adoration in your voice whenever you say his new (old?) name that he has to stop himself from snapping back at. it’s not that he disliked it — not at all — but it just… didn’t make sense to him. it made him feel oblivious, like you were keeping a secret from him despite how vocal your praise always was.
you sigh softly when his brows furrow, your hand coming up to gently smooth out the familiar little wrinkle between them.
“they trust us.” you reiterate.
“well they shouldn’t.”
you raise a brow at that.
“why not?”
his lips pull into an unconscious little pout (a habit you didn’t dare bring to his attention even after all of these years. not out of fear of him getting angry — out of fear of him forcing the small vulnerability away).
“because obviously i’m still evil and you have some sort of weird stockholm syndrome that you refuse to acknowledge.” you have to bite back a laugh at his sudden petulance.
“no, baby, i don’t have any sort of stockholm syndrome.”
“see.” he grumbles, clearly convinced by his own astute observations.
you can’t fight the small snicker that leaves you at that, but you decide to humor him for a moment.
“alright, so i have stockholm syndrome. how exactly are you still evil?”
he thinks on your question for a second.
“i’m mean and antisocial and i dusted your brothers game controller the other day…” your smile grows.
“and i still hate heroes and i-” he continues for a moment only to stop when he sees the widening smile on your face. god, you’re so irritating…
“what?” he grits out, unable to hide the small flush on his face. he’d blame it on the steam from the lukewarm bath later.
“no, nothing.” his eyes narrow in suspicion.
“really, tenko, it’s nothing.” a small laugh laces your words when he continues glaring at you. he doesn’t say anything, expecting you to fold and tell him what’s on your mind with just a look (you would, of course. neither of you were known for having strong resolves against each other).
“it’s just…” you pause, contemplating how to word your thoughts.
“… you’re human, tenko. last time i checked there’s nothing evil about that.”
he pauses, considering your words for a long moment. he’s human. he has preferences and flaws and makes mistakes because he’s human — not because he’s evil. it’s common sense but it still takes him aback for some reason. how irritating.
he brings up his hand from under the water, pressing his wet palm to your cheek to push your face away from his flushed one.
“that’s a stupid thing to say.” is the only thing he says in response. you smile.
“i know.”
have u guys seen that one vid on tiktok where it’s like the person just repeatedly saying “full bush. in a bikini!!!” yea aizawa is the #1 advocate for that shit!!!!!
like i have such a strong belief that that man is a rug muncher LMAO. like he doesn’t mind either way!! bare, trimmed, full bush, whatever!!! he’s a grown man, something as silly as that isn’t gonna phase him whatsoever (plus, it’s not like he keeps his body hair super well maintained, so who is he to say anything?)
but. BUT. i do believe he’s partial to a good bush.
like okay okay imagine him scrolling through his phone during his lunch break, swiping through video after video on the godforsaken app that you had begged him to him download (“you have to keep up with the times, sho! plus, i wanna send you cute cat videos.” you had insisted. so guess what he did?)
and his for you page was just that!! cute cat videos with an occasional repost of yours (usually just an edit or some sort of silly meme he didn’t understand), so it wasn’t really surprising when a tiktok you had commented on made its way to his for you page. and honestly? he didn’t pay the video much attention! … until he saw your comment. who knew a simple declaration of “me this summer” with a silly emoticon would be the thing to temporarily put eraserhead out of commission?
you didn’t see the way he had to collect himself for a few minutes after seeing your comment, but you did see the notifications of him liking the video and the texts he sent you seconds later!!! (“let me know when you go bathing suit shopping for the summer.” another message. “i’ll go with you to help pick some out.” short, sweet, and to the point. charming.)
random bf texts!!
touya todoroki x reader
just silly little domestic-y texts teehee ^.^
cw’s!!: gn! reader, loverboy touya, not canon compliant!! (he’s in rehab and is staying w his family :]), he threatens to burn down the house. hehe.
older bf! aizawa fixing all of my daddy issues. yeeeea. yeeeeeeeeeea.
i don’t even mean sexually!! like imagine opening up to him for the first time. you’ve been dating for a while and he knew some of your familial relationships were… strained to say the least, but he didn’t know the extent of it. you’re recalling some of your experiences — maybe a specific event, maybe just an overview — and he’s humming and nodding while listening to your words, his brows knitting together in a pitying expression. you think he’s pitying you anyway, you’re kind of avoiding his eyes as you speak.
your voice starts shaking after a moment and you’re internally cursing yourself for tearing up because why are you still so affected by the actions of your father? you pause for a second, swallowing against the lump in your throat and it’s so humiliating to fall apart in front of your boyfriend like this and—
and shota places a hand over yours. his hand is rough and calloused from hero work but so warm. he’s gazing wistfully at where your skin meets, his thumb so gently grazing over your knuckles before giving your hand a small squeeze. “i’m so sorry that happened to you, baby. you didn’t deserve that.” oh and his words are just barely there, but they ring louder than what anyone has ever told you in response to your past.
your eyes meet his after he speaks. you want to snap back out of some deep seated need to defend yourself (to make yourself seem less vulnerable, less pathetic, perhaps). of course you didn’t deserve what happened to you, that’s a dumb thing to point out. that’s what you’re about to say when your lips part, but only a small, shuddering breath leaves you.
you don’t even notice the tears rolling down your cheeks until shota brings up a warm hand to wipe them away, his body leaning closer to yours to press his lips against your forehead. you want to curse at him, to push him away and storm off for even daring to see you in this state… but you don’t.
instead you wrap your arms around his middle and hide your face in his neck (shame, maybe?) and cry. you’re not sobbing, but you can’t help the hiccuped breaths that leave you when his hand slips under the hem of your shirt to run his warm palm up and down your back. he doesn’t say anything after that.

cw’s!!: some angst and fem! reader (reader is referred to as a woman and uses she/her pronouns) :]
wc: 916 (my longest posted yet!!!)
imagining shigaraki who announces to the league that he found a temporary place to stay a few weeks after the base gets destroyed, answering zero questions as to how exactly he found a place for a group of villains to stay after they had seemingly exhausted all of their options (“someone owed me a favor” was all he had said. none of them believed him).
they’re all confused when they arrive at a relatively residential neighborhood. they’re even more confused when their boss walks up to the front door of a random house as if he’s done it a thousand times before (he has. he’d always crawl back to this doorstep, always looking a little small and wounded).
and — not to be repetitive — but imagine their shock when the sweetest looking woman opens the door. you. you’re all smiles and sugar, giving their boss a wide smile before greeting the rest of them and inviting them inside. they’re practically gawking at the way you dote on them as if they’re normal houseguests and not a group of strangely dressed villains.
the blonde girl and the two men in masks are the only ones that introduce themselves (himiko, jin, and ‘compress’. you recognized them from tomuras previous explanations. he thought they were all pains in their own right, you couldn’t bring yourself to agree). the others stay close by tomura, allowing him to guide them through the new environment (as if they had much of a choice). he hadn’t said a word since the nice woman opened the door, even ignoring spinners insistent, whispered questions.
tomura suddenly stops, gesturing to three doors. “we’re taking up these two rooms, the garage, and the living room.” he points to the last door in the hallway. “that’s the bathroom. figure it out amongst yourselves.” he explained flatly, making his way back to the main area of the house with nothing else said. they were left with more questions than when they had initially gotten there.
their boss had settled into a couch by the time they wandered back into the main area, slouched against an armrest with that blank look he wore whenever he was lost in thought. you had taken to the more talkative three, smiling softly as you answered their questions while offering them mugs of something warm (you couldn’t help the softened look in your eyes when you saw the brief shock in their expressions at the gesture).
it was quiet for a while after that. peaceful, even… until you dropped a mug while trying to tidy up your kitchen. it had been a while since the league had seen their boss suddenly so alert, no hesitation in his movements when he briskly made his way into the kitchen. they had braced themselves to hear yelling or some form of harshness. anything to express his displeasure towards the sudden interruption to his thoughts. only, that’s not what happened. at all, actually.
you were a little more frantic, murmuring soft apologies while crouched down and picking up the larger shards of ceramic. only the three at the table could see what was going on, but the quiet way everything was handled was enough for everyone to connect some dots. tomura hadn’t said anything, simply moving down to your level to help you pick up the bigger shards.
when he finally spoke, it was like witnessing a different person. ‘soft’ was an adjective the league wasn’t familiar with. they didn’t have the privilege of really knowing what that word meant… they understood it better now though, with the way their boss was reassuring you in a quiet voice. his words were scolding as per usual, (even you weren’t immune to his small lectures urging you to ‘be more careful’) but he said them with a lightness none of them had heard before.
and then you touched him and suddenly they understood (those who witnessed it, of course). the contact was brief, just a small, grateful squeeze to his shoulder. something so easily overlooked by the general population… but they knew their boss well. they knew the weight of the small gesture. it was so painfully normal, he didn’t even blink an eye at the small touch.
the three at the table — who usually had had so much to say — could only spare each other small, knowing glances. the others that had settled on the couch still looked expectant, as if waiting for the storm that was soon to come pouring down (they could’ve waited years, it was never going to happen).
the league stood at your house for two weeks after that, the interactions between you and the members short but sweet. tomura had bunked in the garage, walking into the house throughout the night with the weak excuse of having to use the bathroom.
they decided not to call him out on his lie.
you remained kind even as they were leaving, wishing them well and softly urging them to stay safe. only himiko noticed the look you and tomura shared as he walked past you. a secret something she was sure only the two of you knew the meaning of. she found herself foolishly hoping that the pretty lady who had taken care of them would be okay.
you found yourself foolishly hoping to see them again (in another life, maybe. things would be better then.)
