Body Swap (Katsuki Bakugou x Reader)
Summary: Training with a partner that you didn’t get along with was never easy, but you were dependent on working with someone else, since you weren’t as trained with your quirk as other students. After failing a training mission you were body swapped with Bakugou and both your worlds were turned upside down after your teacher suggested, that keeping you swapped for an entire week would be the best way of you two finally getting along.
________________________________________________________________
You found yourself on the training grounds of UA with your training partner for the day. As usual both of you didn’t talk cause of course you were paired again with the one person you couldn’t get along with. Bakugou walked right next to you, angry looking as always and scanned the area for danger while you tried to regenerate your energy. Having a tranquilizer quirk was really handy when it came to taking out enemies quick but it took a lot of energy. Since you weren’t as trained yet as other heroes it was still hard for you to control how much energy you use each use of your quirk so you always had to have someone more trained to keep an eye on you. And for some damn reason Bakugou always ended up as that person. You weren’t sure if it was just Mr. Aizawa trying to get you two to finally get along or if he just wanted to test your abilities to adjust to situations where you had to work with people that you didn’t get along with. Whatever it was you were sure that one day you two were going to be at each other’s throats. Bakugou hated having all his tests and lessons with you just as much as you did. He was sick of having to look out for you cause it distracted him from paying attention to his surroundings.
Today’s lessons focus was keeping yourself safe in a fight with a potential villain so both of you were extremely careful while walking through the training grounds. The result of your training was necessary for you to pass your test, so it was extremely important to not fail this.
“Idiot, are you done with regenerating your energy yet?”, Bakugou asked annoyed as he shielded you with his body as he heard footsteps.
“Almost. Just a bit more. Jesus christ”, you spat back just as annoyed about his dumb question.
You knew that he knew exactly how important it was for you to slowly regenerate your energy because otherwise the use of your quirk might make you pass out or weaken you too much.
“Just focus on keeping us safe so we don’t fail this fucking test”, you added and heard him gasp angry.
“If we fail it’s your fucking fault cause you can’t control your quirk properly. You’ll never be a hero at this point. Just a stupid little extra”
You couldn’t believe your ears.
“Are you for real? Do you think I want to have someone constantly stuck to me because I’m not as trained with my quirk yet?”
“Well if you would want to train harder I wouldn’t have to need to keep your ass safe all the fucking time. So just try harder!”
You were fuming at that point. It wasn’t because of the lack of training that you weren’t in control of your quirk. Your body had suffered from some severe consequences some times already because you used your quirk too much and he should know about that if he ever paid attention.
While you continued to bicker with that stupid blond spiky hair you didn’t even notice another person approaching you two. Just as a wave of energy hit the both of you, you turned your attention to the person that had just hit you with their quirk.
“Got you”, they said before they were already out of your view.
“Good job idiot. Now we failed the test”, Bakugou said and as soon as his words left his mouth both of you looked at each other in confusion.
“Uhm…Bakugou”, you said before you continued.
“Why are you in my body?”, you both asked in unison and looked at the other.
It was weird to see yourself right in front of you. You looked down at your body now. Staring at your hands you turned them from side to side before you looked back at Bakugou.
“What the hell are you looking at?”, Bakugou asked and covered his chest (or your chest) with his hand as you scanned him with your eyes.
“First off all that is my body and second of all you sound really adorable this angry with my voice”, you said laughing and took a step forward.
Bakugou must have felt intimidated by you towering over him for some reason since he took a step back.
“Shut up, idiot. You sound fucking stupid with my voice”, he fired back angry with a slight shimmer of pink on his cheeks.
You weren’t sure if that was because he was angry or because your words flustered him. One thing was sure. You were going to definitely enjoy this.
“You know. I actually quite like your voice. It suits me and this body isn’t too bad either”, you said and puffed your chest smiling.
“You…argh…let’s go find Mr. Aizawa”
Seeing Bakugou this angry was way too amusing. You followed him towards the exit of the training grounds and had to laugh as you watched him constantly pulling his skirt down to cover his thighs. As you two reached Mr. Aizawa he already shook his head.
“You both need to stop bickering like an old married couple. If this continues then none of you will pass this year’s test.”, he scolded you both.
“Sorry Mr. Aizawa but I think we have a bigger problem than our bickering right now. He is in my body and I’m in his”, you explained and watched as your teacher couldn’t hide a smile.
“Well looks like you were hit with a body swapping quirk. I could get the student to swap you two back but”, he paused for a second before he looked at the screen next to him.
“I have a better idea.”, he explained and both Bakugou and you looked at him knowing that he was up to no good.
“You two are great in battle together when you actually concentrate on the mission instead of each other. So I propose we need to finally make you two get along so you can both use your full potential in battle. To test that we’ll keep you two switched for an entire week. If you manage to get along during the next 7 days I’ll let you both redo the test after we’ve switched you back.”
You looked over to see Bakugou already fuming with anger. You didn’t really like the idea of being stuck in his body for an entire week but at the same time you really needed to pass this test. Apart from that maybe getting along with the spiky bastard wasn’t as bad as you imagined. Outside of training you didn’t really talk a lot so maybe if you actually got to know each other it wouldn’t be that bad. Bakugou looked at you for a second before he grabbed your arm and pulled you to the side out of reach from Mr. Aizawa to hear.
“Forget it. I’m not doing this”, he said his arms crossed in front of his chest now.
“Come on. It’s just 7 days and he’ll let us do the test again. We both know we need this test”, you tried to argue.
Bakugou rolled his eyes and groaned. He knew just as much as you that this wasn’t going to be easy for the both of you but looking at your face made him rethink his doubts. Maybe this wasn’t going to be as bad as he might have imagined. He let his arms fall to his sides and sighed.
“Fine, idiot. But we have to put up some rules while we’re in each others bodies”
You smiled at his suggestion and nodded.
“Rule Nr. 1: We are switching rooms for this week, but we won’t touch the others shit, other than clothes. So no rummaging through drawers or something and if you really need something, we’ll call the other or let them give the thing to us.”
“Alright. I can live with that”
“Rule Nr. 2: You’re allowed to look but not to touch. So no doing weird nasty shit to neither of our bodies. I know we’re both probably curious but for the sake of this not getting extremely fucking awkward let’s just keep our hands to ourselves”
You had to smile at what he just said. Seeing him admit that he was kinda curious somehow made you feel something, you just couldn’t explain what exactly.
“I don’t know what nasty things you were thinking of, you pervert. But I’m fine with keeping my hands to myself.”
Bakugou rolled his eyes at your assumption. He couldn’t believe you just called him a pervert.
“Whatever, dumbass. Then lastly Rule Nr. 3: Whenever one of us leaves campus we’ll take the other with us to avoid awkward interactions with people that might recognize us. We don’t have to let everyone know that we have switched bodies. Understood?”
You nodded. His three rules sounded completely reasonable. Hell you thought this was the first time he actually said something intelligent to you that didn’t involve mocking you.
“Fine by me. It’s gonna be awkward enough for us already.”
“We just need to act like we get along these 7 days and then this is over in no time and we’ll pass the test with ease.”, Bakugou said and for some reason your heart ached a little.
Maybe it was because you kinda hoped to actually get along with him starting from now but it seemed the boy had no intention of that.
“Yeah. I mean why would I want to actually get along with you. You don’t want that either”, you said awkwardly scratching your neck trying not to show too much that you actually felt a little hurt.
“Exactly, nerd. Just know that even if I act nice with you for now, that we won’t be all buddy-buddy when we get changed back alright?”, Bakugou made clear and you nodded understanding.
Guess you really could forget the chance of really being friends with him. You both walked back to Mr. Aizawa and agreed to his suggestion.
“Great. Then get changed out of your hero costumes and get accompanied with each other’s rooms. You’re dismissed for today”, he said before he left the two of you standing there.
“Alright let’s get changed before someone spots us.”, Bakugou said and already started walking to the men’s changing room.
“Katsuki. Wrong room”, you said and smiled as he glared at you.
He stomped towards you and looked up at you pointing his finger at you.
“Rule Nr. 4: No calling me that, alright? I only let my friends call me that and I don’t remember us being friends”, he said and poked your chest with his finger.
“Understood. No friends. No Katsuki”, you mumbled and watched his anger rise.
“Whatever, idiot. Just don’t fucking get on my nerves”
Just as he was about to go into the women’s changing room you heard a familiar voice from behind you.
“Yo, Bakubro! There you are”, Kirishima said and came running at you.
“Wrong person, Kirishima. He is there”, you said and pointed at Bakugou whose face instantly changed from being angry at you to slightly flustered.
Kirishima looked between the two of you confused before you could almost see the lightbulb light up above his head.
“Body swap? Yo that’s fire. So you’re literally in her body now, man. How’s it feel?”, Kirishima asked Bakugou.
“Shut up, shitty hair. I can’t deal with this now. I’ll get changed. Don’t talk shit about me behind my back alright? Or I’ll kill you both”, he said before he vanished in the women’s changing room.
You looked at Kirishima who now walked over to your side. He stopped next to you and leaned against the wall behind him.
“You two still can’t get along, huh?”
You shook your head and sighed. You explained your situation to Kirishima and watched as he smiled.
“So you’re stuck in each other bodies for an entire week? Man, that’s rough. But hey, maybe this will actually get you two to get along. I mean it’s starting to get hard to watch you two bicker day and night. Like damn, you would make such a cute couple if you’d like each other”, Kirishima explained.
Your eyes widened at his last sentence. You and Bakugou? A couple? You couldn’t even imagine that.
“What do you mean? A couple? Us? Never. We can’t stand each other for god’s sake. If the day comes that we become a couple please end me”, you said and dramatically placed your hand in a gun motion against your head.
Kirishima just laughed before he nudged your shoulder.
“I’m just saying what we’ve observed. Your bickering sometimes really looks like that of an old married couple. Mr. Aizawa wasn’t wrong about that. If we didn’t know it better you could even think that you two are flirting with each other in a really fucked up way with all that bickering. I mean there’s definitely tension between the two of you. We just don’t know what kind”, he continued to explain and you noticed your cheeks slightly heat up.
Kirishima noticed that he made you flustered and playfully ruffled your hair.
“I never thought I would ever see what Katsuki would look like with red cheeks. Man, if he would see you right now he would die from embarrassment. I’m sure about that”
“Kirishima stop teasing me, please. I just want these 7 days to be over as soon as possible. You stay here and wait for us. I’ll go change too. And no word to Bakugou about this ok?”
“My mouth is sealed I swear.”, he said and gestured locking his mouth with an imaginary key.
You shook your head before you walked into the boys changing room. You looked around to find Bakugous locker. You rummaged around your pockets and found the locker key. You unlocked his locker and started to change. As you were out of his hero outfit - which was surprisingly easier to take off than you had imagined - you looked at yourself in the mirror on the inside of his locker door. You really had to admit that his body really wasn’t bad and that if you were to see him like this you would probably find him really attractive but of course you would never admit that in front of him. Seeing Bakugous visage smile back at you in the mirror was weird but as you looked at yourself you kinda wished you would see him smiling more often. His smile really was pretty. Before you lost yourself in your reflection you quickly changed into his school uniform before you grabbed his bag and left the changing room. As you arrived outside you already saw Kirishima and Bakugou invested in a conversation. You walked over to the both of them and smiled as you saw how uneasy Bakugou looked.
“I’m done. We can go.”, you said and smiled at them.
“Dude, I have to say. Seeing a smile on your face really in nice. When you get your body back you should smile more”, Kirishima said towards Bakugou and earned a hit to the back of his head.
“Shitty hair. I swear to god you are on thin ice”, he threatened and grabbed both of us.
“Let’s get out of here before someone else spots us like this.”, Bakugou added before we walked towards the dorms.
Bakugou dragged us to his dorm room and closed the door behind us as we had arrived. He walked towards me and held his hand out.
“Phone”, he demanded and I pointed to my backpack.
He rummaged through it, found it and unlocked it with his fingerprint. You really had forgotten that he was able to do that now.
“Wait hold on what are you doing?”, you asked and tried to grab your phone from his hands.
“I’m just putting my number in nerd. What? Are you scared I might find some nudes on your phone?”, he laughed and looked at you.
As your face dropped, he shook his head in disbelieve.
“You’re kidding right? You have nudes on your phone?”, he asked and quickly handed you your phone again as if he was disgusted for some reason.
“No! I don’t! Just don’t do that again without asking.”, you said and looked at what he had saved himself as on your phone.
“’King explosion murder’ really Bakugou? Was there no other thing you could think of?”, you mocked his name and earned a growl from him.
“Just change the name if you don’t like it, idiot. I don’t care.”, he spat and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
Bakugou started to explain to you which drawers you were allowed to touch and which not. After you were done with the tour through his room Bakugou held his hand out to Kirishima, who just looked at him confused.
“Key, shitty hair.”, he said and you watched as Kirishima removed a key from his keychain and handed it to Bakugou.
He then walked over to you and gave you the key.
“I’m not giving you my key so here is the spare key. Shitty hair only has that cause he is my best friend. I’m keeping my key to myself. I promise I won’t come unannounced though”, he explained and you nodded.
“Then let’s go to your room, nerd”
You put the key into your pocket and then left the room with the two boys behind you. You weren’t sure why Kirishima tagged along but you guessed he just wanted to make sure you two wouldn’t bash in each other’s heads. As you arrived at your room you walked past Minas room as she left it.
“Y/N, Bakugou and Kirishima? Together? I never thought I would see this day during this lifetime”, she exaggerated and smiled at the three of you.
“Shut up pinky.”, Bakugou spat at her and her face dropped for a second before she started to laugh.
“OMG YOU HAVE SWITCHED BODIES HAVEN’T YOU?”, she asked excited and ran over to you.
“Yupp. Mr. Aizawa made us promise that we’ll get along the next week while we are switched so we can repeat the test we failed today”, you explained and she smiled at both of you.
“Now that sounds really interesting. So how is it as a woman, Katsuki?”
“Can we please stop talking about this?”, Bakugou asked annoyed and slipped into my room as I opened the door.
Kirishima followed him while you stayed outside with Mina for a little longer.
“He is a hundred percent embarrassed about this situation. He would never admit it though”, Mina said and made you smile.
“He isn’t the only one. This really is awkward. I can’t wait for this week to be over”, you said sighing before you said bye to Mina and joined the boys in your room.
Bakugou stood in front of your closet and looked through your clothes while Kirishima couldn’t stop laughing at Bakugous terrified look. You joined him in front of the closet and he flinched as you suddenly towered behind him.
“Seeing anything you like?”, you teased and watched as the now smaller boy hid his face behind his hair.
“Shut up, nerd. Don’t fucking get so close to me. You’re weird”, he said before he pushed you further away from him to get some distance.
You stepped back and leaned against your desk. As Bakugou finally turned towards you again you began to speak.
“There isn’t really anything you can’t look at. So feel free to rummage through everything. There is nothing I’m hiding.”, you announced and Bakugou nodded.
“Understood, nerd.”, he said before he sat down on your bed.
“You can have my original key. I don’t mind. If I need something from here I’ll just knock.”, you said and placed your key on the desk.
“I’ll be leaving then. I’ll be in “my” room then.”
You left right after you said that. Back in “your” room it felt really awkward. You changed from your uniform into something more cozy and sat down on the bed. You grabbed your phone and checked your messages. Kirishima had texted you asking if you were doing ok. You texted him back that you were still feeling a little awkward but you were gonna be ok.
While you got accustomed to your new room for the next week Bakugou went through your closet with Kirishima.
“WHY WOULD YOU WEAR SOMETHING THIS SHORT?”, Bakugou screamed at Kirishima while showing him a skirt that barely covered anything.
“I don’t know man. Maybe she really likes that. I mean try it on and see how she looks like with it on if you are so curious”, Kirishima suggested and watched as Bakugou instantly put the skirt back.
“What are you implying, shitty hair? I’m not curious about that. So shut up”, Bakugou denied, his face turned away from his friend in embarrassment.
Kirishima was amused by Bakugous reaction. After changing into the only pair of sweatpants Bakugou found he texted you.
Hey nerd. The others are planning a game night in 2 hours so be there. In Dunce Faces room.
As you received the message you had to smile. You knew it was gonna be awkward since you hadn’t really done anything with the entire Bakusquad before but you knew that Denki, Mina, Sero and Kirishima all appreciated as friend so maybe this was gonna be a nice evening. You made sure to be there not to early but for some reason you still got there 10 minutes before the agreed time. You knocked on Denkis door and waited patiently.
“Coming. Just a sec”, you heard him from inside.
You waited a bit until he opened the door. As he saw you he looked confused.
“Bakugou what are you doing…oh nevermind it’s you. Sorry I already forgot. Mina told me. Come in”, he said with a smile and opened the door wider so you could enter.
“Thanks, Denki. I’m sorry I’m too early”, you said as you walked inside and sat down on his desk chair.
“Ah no problem Y/N. How are you feeling btw? Heard swapping bodies can be pretty tough.”
Denki walked over to you and stood next to you.
“I’m ok. Kirishima also asked me that. Are you guys worried or something?”, you asked and watched as he scratched his neck awkwardly.
“Kinda yeah. You know cause of what happened with your quirk we are all kinda more aware of your health. Don’t want any of that happening again”, Denki explained and smiled at you apologetically.
You weren’t aware of that at all. Now you felt even more awkward. You really didn’t want others worrying about you. You were pretty glad that it knocked on the door soon so you didn’t have to continue this slightly awkward conversation. Denki went to open the door and Kirishima and Bakugou came walking inside. As soon as you saw him you had to smile.
“Don’t say a word, nerd. Your clothes are fucking awful. I would rather wear mine even if they are too big but I don’t want anyone spreading rumors so I guess I have to bear with this now.”, he said and pointed at what he was wearing.
“Hey don’t insult my taste in clothes like that. I just wear what I like and think is comfortable. If you don’t like it that’s not my problem”
He rolled his eyes at you and sat down on Denkis bed with Kirishima. It didn’t take long until Sero and Mina arrived with you.
The evening flew by faster as you could even imagine. You played all kinds of games like Uno and Monopoly and had lots of fun with the entire Bakusquad. And even though it was awkward at first for all of you that feeling soon was gone. You went back to your room after the game night was done and fell asleep almost instantly.
You woke up the next day with the strongest migraine you ever had in your entire life. The pain was killing you. But after downing a few painkillers you felt fine enough to attend todays classes. The Bakusquad and you had agreed to keep quiet about the body swap to the rest of the class and Bakugou and you agreed to just act like the other person during the classes. It was pretty easy for you to imitate him but it was hard for Bakugou to act nice. After half the school day was over you received a text from Mina.
You ok? You kinda look like something is wrong
You looked up from your phone to look at the girl who now looked in your direction awaiting an answer. “I’m ok”, you mouthed and she nodded.
You didn’t want her to worry. The truth was that your head was killing you. You really just wanted to get through this day. After the classes were done you walked back to your room and decided to just spend the rest of the day there.
Over the next few days more people started to notice that something was wrong. Not only Kirishima and Mina kept on asking about your condition but even Denki and Sero kept on coming back to you to “check up” on you. Bakugou had caught up with your behavior pretty quickly and decided to speak to you during training.
“Hey, idiot. Not that I care or something but you look pale and you haven’t really eaten a lot these past days. Are you alright?”, he asked and you almost thought you were dreaming as his words reached you.
“It’s nothing. Just a headache”, you explained and tried to ignore the slightly worried look on his face.
“Come on if it were nothing you wouldn’t be acting like this. Idiot we can see something is wrong. You think these are side effects from the body swapping?”
The migraines and pain had started since you body swapped so maybe they really were side effects. But Bakugou seemed to be fine so maybe you just had to adjust some more even if it was already the forth day of you being swapped.
“Maybe. I don’t know. I’m sure it’ll go away again on it’s own”, you explained.
Bakugou didn’t believe you. After you were done with your training he went to talk with recovery girl about side effects that might occur. He didn’t want to admit it, but he really was worried about you. Before he wouldn’t even care that you existed but now that you basically stuck around the entire time he didn’t hate your presence anymore. Recovery girl told him that it was possible that side effects happened especially since you were a person that was already weaker because of the fact that your quirk used your energy to work. What worried him even more was a thing she said to him.
“There is a possibility that the person who is more emotionally involved with the other person might experience far worse side effects. Just imagine being in the body of someone you have strong positive or negative feelings for. It would be really hard for that person to deal with getting up in the morning every day.”
Did you really hate him that much that it made you actually sick? As Bakugou returned to his room that night that thought was haunting him all night.
It was now the fifth day of being swapped. You woke up that morning after having a way too vivid dream and realized that you had slowly started to develop strong feelings for the blond haired guy. The fact that you were always reminded of him cause you were still stuck in his body didn’t make this any better. Besides that you woke up with another really bad migraine, this time this bad that you didn’t want to move out of bed at all. You decided to stay in bed and texted Bakugou that you wouldn’t come to class today.
I’m not feeling so well, so I won’t come to class. I’m fine though
You laid your phone down next to the bed and tried to sleep the pain away. While you were trying to sleep through the day someone started to get really worried about you. Mr. Aizawa had noticed pretty quickly that Bakugou wasn’t really paying attention to the lesson ever since he noticed you weren’t coming and he didn’t know why. The fact that you said you were ok even though you were sick made the boy pretty confused and wreck his brain to figure out if he should check up on you later.
“Y/N. Go check on Bakugou”, Mr. Aizawa addressed the boy and brought him back to reality.
“What?”, he asked still a little confused.
He was still not used to being called by your name in class so your body swap wouldn’t be noticed by the others.
“You should check up on him. I can see you are not concentrating on what I’m saying. So just go”
“Thanks Mr. Aizawa.”, he thanked his teacher and instantly left.
Bakugou instantly walked towards his room hoping that you were ok. He couldn’t understand why he felt so worried but he didn’t care at that moment. He just wanted to know if you were ok. As he arrived at your room he knocked.
“Y/N. Are you there? Can I come in?”, he asked and awaited your response but you didn’t answer.
You always replied instantly when you were there so you staying completely silent made him feel even more uneasy. He really didn’t want to intrude without your permission, but he just really needed to know you were ok.
“I’m coming in now”, he said before he opened the door with his key and peaked into the room to see where you were.
You were laying on his bed wrapped into the blanket like a burrito and peacefully sleeping. He slowly walked towards you and placed his hand on your forehead.
“No fever”, he mumbled quietly before he kneeled next to the bed and watched you for a while.
He didn’t know why but he felt really uneasy while he watched you. He sat there for some time until you started moving. You slowly opened your eyes and saw him sit right in front of you.
“Bakugou? What are you doing here?”, you asked and slowly sat up.
“Nothing. I just came to check up on you”, he said and sat down on the edge of the bed.
“How are you feeling, nerd? You need something?”, he asked and wondered himself why he asked you that.
“Not too well but it’s ok. I’ll just sleep more later.”, you explained and rubbed your sleepy eyes.
“We should talk to Mr. Aizawa.”, Bakugou said and you looked at him confused.
“We need to change back. Your condition is getting worse every day and we can all see that you are trying to hide how you really are feeling. I’ll go talk to him. I’m sure if he hears how sick you have gotten since we changed he’ll agree”, he explained.
“But what about the test. If we change back we wont be able to take the test again”
“FUCK THE TEST”, he screamed which made you flinch.
“Sorry for raising my voice like this but jesus christ. Who cares about the god damn test when you are like this? I’ll try to convince him to let us take the test again. I’ll find a way. You on the other hand should go to recovery girl. You really don’t look good”, he added and got up from the bed.
You looked up at him confused. Why did he care so much suddenly? Bakugou held his hand out for you to take and you grabbed it and let him pull you up from bed.
“I’ll take you to the infirmary and then I’ll go talk to Mr. Aizawa.”
You nodded and let Bakugou help you get to the infirmary. He would have carried you there but sadly in the current body he wasn’t able to. Recovery girl instructed him to lay you down on one of the beds and assured that you were in the best hands before Bakugou left to talk to your teacher.
“You know your body is weaker than others. Why didn’t you come here earlier?”, she scolded you.
“I just didn’t want to burden anyone”, you said in a quiet voice and watched her shake her head.
“You wouldn’t burden anyone. But instead of coming here you made others worry about you. Next time just instantly come to me if you are not feeling well. We don’t want what happened back then happen again right?”
You recalled the previous events in your brain. The last time you overused your quirk your heart had stopped beating and they had to perform CPR on you. Ever since then you had to watch out for your health.
You shook your head as an answer and watched as recovery girl brought you some medicine.
“Good. Now take these and rest”
You downed the pills she had given you and then laid back down.
While you rested in the infirmary Bakugou waited for Mr. Aizawa to finish the class. After class he confronted him about your condition. He accompanied Bakugou to the infirmary and consulted recovery girl about your condition. She advised that a quick change would be the best for your condition. Bakugou listened to the conversion attentively and was shocked as he heard about what had happened before with you. He didn’t know that your health condition was this serious. As he returned to your side and watched you peacefully sleep he cursed himself. Why did he always have to be so mean to you and ridicule you with the fact that your quirk made you weak. If he had known how serious it was he would have never said all these things. He felt bad about how he had treated you before and decided then and there that as soon as you would change back he would never treat you like that ever again. Before he left you he wrote a little note and laid it onto the table next to you.
You woke up a few hours later to a handwritten note next to your head.
“I talked to him. We’re able to change back tomorrow morning and we can redo the test in a few days. Rest until then, nerd. If you need anything, call me”
You had to smile as you read the note and noticed your heartbeat pick up. You really had fallen for him but you weren’t gonna confess to him while still in his body and especially not while being in this bad condition. Recovery girl let you stay in the infirmary over night and had brought you some light food cause you hadn’t really eaten anything the entire day. After eating a little bit you went back to bed hoping that your mental and physical condition would get better til the morning. As you woke up you couldn’t wait to be changed back. You were still feeling sick and for some reason you barely managed to meet up with Mr. Aizawa, Bakugou and the student that had turned you. Bakugou was standing right next to you looking at you with worry written all over his face. He could see that your condition was even worse than yesterday and he really hoped you would get better after changing back.
The student smiled at you two and explained how this was gonna work.
“You just have to hold hands and I can change you back”, they said and you hesitantly held out your hand towards Bakugou.
He slowly grabbed your hand and slightly squeezed it as if he was letting you know that you were ok with him right there. Your heart beating fast in your chest made you feel lightheaded and you were so glad when that wave hit the two of you and you finally were back in your own body. Bakugou let go of your hand and looked down at himself.
“Hell yeah. I’m back in my body. This feels good doesn’t it, nerd”, he said and looked down next to him.
But instead of meeting a happy face you looked at him even more sad than yesterday. You avoided his gaze as you answered.
“Yeah. It’s nice being whole again.”, you said quietly and looked around for a bit.
For some reason the whole world was spinning and you really just wanted to lie back down on your bed and sleep for the rest of the day.
“You’re dismissed. And don’t worry about going to class today. You two just rest for the rest of the day. You deserve it”, Mr. Aizawa said and as soon as his little speech was over you rushed towards the dorm.
But instead of rushing to your room you almost instantly found yourself in front of Bakugous room.
“FUCK!”, you swore and leaned your head against the door before you heard quick steps following behind you.
“Idiot where the fuck are you rushing off to? Are you still not feeling better?”, Bakugou said behind you as he caught up with you in front of his room.
“Just leave me alone Katsuki”, you said and started leaving as he stopped you by your arm.
He was shocked himself that he grabbed your arm but you calling him Katsuki suddenly made him want to not have you leave in that state right now.
“Tell me what the hell is wrong. Why are you avoiding me? Did I do something shitty? I thought as soon as we are changed back you’ll feel better but it doesn’t look like that. Just tell me, dumbass. I just want to help you.”, he pleaded with you and you looked at him confused.
“Why do you care so much? These past few days were all just for show right?”, you asked angry and moved your arm away from him.
Bakugou stood there asking himself why he cared so much. He couldn’t explain why with words. He just had this feeling that he needed to know what your problem was.
“What do you mean just for show? You think I was just pretending to tolerate you?”, he asked and you nodded.
“Are you really thinking that lowly of me? You really think I’d just go and pretend to be your friend and then just change back to how we were before?”
You were even more confused now after hearing his words. So he actually wanted to be friends? He didn’t just pretend so you could repeat that test?
“I don’t understand. You were the one saying once we change back we won’t be all buddy-buddy. Those were your words. So then why do you fucking care about my wellbeing?”,
“BECAUSE I FUCKING LIKE YOU”
You froze right at your spot and slowly turned your head to look at him. Bakugou stood there just as frozen as you.
“What?”, you asked aloud and took a few steps back.
“I said I care because I fucking like you, you goddamn stupid nerd.”, he said this time way quieter.
You couldn’t believe what you just heard. Your heartbeat got even faster than it already was and you suddenly got really dizzy. Bakugou noticed that you were everything but ok right now and acted fast as he noticed your body collapse.
“You goddamn idiot.”, he mumbled as he scooped you up into his arms and carried your unconscious body into his room.
He placed you on his bed and wrapped you up in his blanket before he checking your pulse again. Thank god your heart was still beating. He left to get you some water and came back as quickly as possible. He sat down on the floor next to the bed and reached out to softly caress your head. He sighed and leaned his head against the edge of the mattress.
“Why did you have to faint right when I told you how I felt? God fucking damnit”, Bakugou whispered and lifted his head again to look at you.
After some time you slowly opened your eyes. Your head still felt dizzy and it took you some time to come back to full consciousness. Bakugou had already grabbed the glass of water he had brought and held it towards you. As soon as you noticed that you were in his room again a blush creeped onto your face as you sat up. You were really embarrassed that you collapsed right in front of him.
“Here drink this. You fucking scared me there, dumbass”, Bakugou said and you took the glass from his hand.
You gulped down the water and handed it back to him. He placed the empty glass on his nightstand and got up from the floor and sat down on the bed next to you.
“I’m sorry”, you apologized and were confused when he playfully ruffled your hair.
“Don’t apologize for collapsing. Jeez, I’m just glad you woke up again.”, he said and you watched his cheeks turn a light pink as he kept his hand on your head slightly caressing your hair.
You were so embarrassed you wanted to disappear right then and there. But Bakugou wouldn’t let you. He moved his hand from your head to your back and pulled you against his body.
“You think you’re gonna be ok or do you want me to get recovery girl?”, he asked and softly caressed your back.
“I think I’m fine. I think it was just too much”, you explained and leaned against him shyly.
“Alright. If there is anything I can do for you just tell me ok, nerd?”
You nodded quietly and looked up at him. Bakugou looked directly at you and you noticed your cheeks heat up. You were still trying to process what happened before you collapsed. After some time you spoke up.
“Did you really mean what you said?”, you mumbled and didn’t dare to look at Bakugou.
You nodded and hid your face behind your hands.
“Yeah. I meant every word I said, nerd.”
You looked at him for a second before you avoided his gaze again.
“Idiot, look at me”, he demanded and softly squeezed you.
“I can’t”, you mumbled and hid your red face.
“Why can’t you?”, he asked concerned.
“I’m scared I might faint again if I look at you. I get lightheaded when my heart beats too fast.”, you admitted and Bakugous heart skipped a beat after hearing your words.
Did you just admit that he made your heart beat faster? Did that mean that you liked him too? He needed to know right now.
“Y/N. I just need you to look at me for a little bit. Can you do that?”, he asked in the softest voice you ever heard from him.
You took a deep breath and slowly nodded. As you turned your head to look at him you already noticed your heart racing. But it wasn’t just your heart racing. Bakugous heart was racing just as much as yours.
“Does that mean you like me too?”, he asked and you nodded.
Bakugou couldn’t help but smile like an idiot. He had no control over his face anymore, his cheeks were fire red like yours and he looked extremely happy.
“I actually don’t know. I just noticed yesterday. It’s not like I was swooning over you, I just…I like when you are around. I thought you were a rude asshole but you are the opposite. You were actually worried about me.”, you answered and heard him chuckle.
“What about you?”, you asked.
“Pretty much the same. I never really thought about you any other way than being a damn extra but after I found out about your history and noticed that you weren’t as shitty as I thought I guess I kind of got attached.”, he explained and softly pet your head.
“But don’t interpret too much into this ok? I don’t like you because I pity you or something. Don’t get me wrong. You’re just actually not that annoying”, he added and you had to smile.
Even in a situation like this he was still the same old Bakugou. You wouldn’t wanna change him for a thing. It was quiet for some time until he removed his arm from around you and got up from the bed.
“Uhm…so do you wanna go get something to eat together? We can either go eat out or I could make us something down in the kitchen”, he suggested and scratched his neck awkwardly.
“I’d love to taste your cooking again.”, you said truthfully and watched him smile for just a split second.
“Alright. Let’s see what we have down in the kitchen. I’ll go first. You just come when you feel a little better, alright nerd? Don’t want you fainting again”, Bakugou said and already walked to the door.
“OK. I’ll be right there with you in a bit”, you answered before you watched him leave.
As soon as the door closed you laid back down and buried your face in the pillows. You squealed happily while rolling around on the bed with a huge smile on your face. You still couldn’t believe what just happened. You weren’t sure what both of you confessing to each other meant for your relationship but you would figure that out eventually. As you slowly got up from the bed you noticed that you were getting a little cold. You didn’t want to take a detour to your room so you just walked over to Bakugous drawer as if it was the most normal thing to do and grabbed one of his sweaters. You put it on and wondered how you never noticed that his clothes were this big. You left his room after looking around if someone was around to see you while you made your way to the kitchen.
In the meantime, Bakugou had rummaged through the fridge and drawers to figure out what to make. Since there wasn’t really a lot to work with but he found the basic ingredients for pancakes. As he was preparing a bowl for the dough you reached the kitchen.
“Can I help you with anything?”, you asked as you arrived at the doorframe.
“Nah. Just sit down somewhere and don’t get in my way. I’ll whip up some pancakes for us. You like those right?”, he instructed and turned towards you.
He stopped everything he was doing as he saw you. You were standing there with your hands nervously fiddling with the sleeves of his sweater that was way too big on you.
“Jesus fucking christ”, he just said his mouth still open from surprise.
“I was getting a little cold and I thought it was fine just to borrow a sweater from you. But if I shouldn’t have done that I can take it off. I should have asked first”, you started explaining yourself.
Bakugou walked towards you and as he stood right in front of you he looked down at you. You looked fucking amazing in his clothes and he cursed himself for not seeing you like this earlier.
“Jeez. Don’t fucking take it off. Just…warn me next time, idiot.”, he said and playfully ruffled your hair.
“No I don’t. It looks…fine on you. Just next time give me a heads up, ok? Did anyone see you like this?”, he asked.
“Good”, he mumbled and picked you up from the floor before carrying you over to the kitchen counter.
He sat you down on it and as you locked eyes both your cheeks flushed a beautiful pink.
“Just sit here. You won’t be in the way and I can still watch you, ok nerd?”
You nodded and watched as Bakugou got back to work on making the pancake dough. You didn’t really know what to do so you just grabbed your phone and looked through your messages. You had a new message from Mina asking if you were alright after swapping back. You quickly answered her and looked through the other chatrooms. After Bakugou was done with the dough he grabbed a pan and started making the first pancake. You had taken a few secret pictures of Bakugou and hoped he hadn’t noticed. Bakugous phone made a sound and he checked his messages. He turned to you for a bit and caught you taking a pic. He just shook his head before he began to speak.
“Shitty hair is asking how you are feeling. Don’t know why he texted me and not you but yeah. How are you feeling?”, he asked before turning back to turn the pancake so it wouldn’t burn on one side.
“Oh it’s probably because he doesn’t have my number I think. I’m fine. My head still hurts a bit but besides that I’m a lot better”, you said truthfully and watched as Bakugou gave you his phone.
You nodded and quickly texted Kirishima. While already at it you wanted to send him your number but as you looked through Bakugous contacts you couldn’t find it.
“Uhm…Bakugou what have you saved me as?”, you asked and he turned to look at you.
“Why do you want to know?”, he asked back and stepped closer to you.
“I wanted to send Kirishima my number so he can text me but I couldn’t find it”
Bakugou smiled before he grabbed his phone and went to his contacts. As he found your contact he handed you his phone again and your face turned into a stupid smile as you read the name for you.
“Stupid nerd? Really? Couldn’t you come up with something nicer?”, you asked and sent the contact to Kirishima who was of course saved as “Shitty hair” in his phone.
“Well you were just a stupid nerd. But if you want I can change it. How about adding “my” to it?”, he suggested and it took you a little to understand what he meant.
As you realized your face flushed and you handed him his phone again.
“Do whatever”, you said as you tried to calm down again.
Bakugou smiled and put his phone away again after changing your name to “My stupid nerd”. While he continued to finish up the pancakes you had a question on your mind.
“Hey Bakugou?”, you asked in a quiet voice.
You could hear the smile on his face as he called you that.
“Is it ok if I call you by your name now?”
He chuckled lowly before putting the last pancake on it’s designated plate and turning off the stove. He grabbed both plates before turning around to you again.
“I don’t know if you can. But you can try”, he said and walked past you to place the two plates on one of the tables in the common room.
You had to shake your head at his dorky comment. You still sat on the kitchen counter as Bakugou came back to you.
“Can’t get down alone?”, he asked with a huge smile drawn on his face.
Before you could even comprehend his question he had already grabbed you and placed you back on your feet right in front of him. His hands lingered on your hips for a little longer than intended and as he realized he quickly let go of you. He didn’t want to make you feel awkward.
“Let’s eat before the food gets cold”, he said and grabbed some extras to put on the pancakes before you both returned to the table.
You sat down on one side of the table while Bakugou sat down opposite of you. The both of you ate in silence until nothing was left anymore. Bakugou was constantly watching you to make sure you were eating properly since you hadn’t really eaten a lot the past few days.
“Thanks for the pancakes. They were really good”, you said satisfied and leaned back in your chair.
“You’re welcome, nerd. Any time you want to have some I can make them for you”
“I mean if you want me to that is.”, he added.
You had to smile. The way he was acting around you still felt so foreign but it was nice having him talk to you in this nicer way. You were about to say something when your phone rang. You picked it up confused.
“Hello?”, you asked as you picked up the call from an unknown number.
“Hey there, Y/N”, you heard Kirishima on the other end.
“I just wanted to check in and see if you are still alive or if Katsuki has already killed you”, he joked.
Bakugou must have heard his best friends voice since he got up from his chair and sat down next to you. He then grabbed your phone from your hand and held it to his ear.
“Shitty hair what non-sense are you talking, huh? I would never kill her”, he said slightly offended.
“Bakubro, so you still ARE with her, huh? Not wanting to let go I see”
“Shut up, shitty hair. That’s none of your business”, Katsuki said with his cheeks shimmering in a slight pink.
“So I was right. Have fun you two, but don’t go too hard on her if you know what I mean”
Bakugou angrily hung up the phone and gave it back to you. As you looked at him with a questioning look he felt the need to explain himself.
“He was just talking shit again. Nothing important”, he said with a blush still permanently drawn on his face.
You pretended not to have heard the entire conversation anyways and just decided to change the topic.
“So what now? The day still has some hours in store”
“We could go watch a movie in my room. I mean if you’d want to only, of course. If you want to rest more that’s fine too”, he said and awkwardly scratched his neck.
“I can rest more later. I’d rather spend more time with you”, you admitted and shyly smiled at him.
“Alright then let’s go”, Katsuki said and grabbed your dirty dished and put them into the sink.
“I’ll clean them another time”, he added before he grabbed your hand and pulled you up from your chair.
Before you could even comprehend what was going on you already found yourself on Katsukis back being carried back upstairs to his room.
“Katsuki let me down”, you protested for the thousands time already while clinging to him scared to fall.
“Nope. I’ll let you down again once we are in my room. You need to rest more so let me carry you upstairs, nerd”
You finally gave up as you noticed that he wasn’t going to give up. As you finally arrived at his room he gently let you down on his bed. He turned around and smiled at your pouty expression.
“Oh come on, idiot. I was just carrying you. You basically don’t weight anything”
“But I can walk by myself. I’m not made of sugar, you know.”
“I know but in your condition I just want you to rest as much as you can”
After going back and forth slightly arguing like in the old times you finally decided on a movie. Both of you positioned each other on the bed with the laptop resting on each of your legs. Around halfway into the movie Katsuki noticed that you were slowly getting sleepier by the minute. He paused the movie and put the laptop to the side.
“Why did you pause it?”, you asked and rubbed your eyes as you looked at him.
“Because you were basically falling asleep on my shoulder”
You looked at the time on your phone. It wasn’t even 2pm yet but you were suddenly really tired. Maybe these still were side effects from the body swapping.
“You should get back to your room and sleep for the rest of the day. I’m sure you’ll feel way better tomorrow”, Katsuki suggested.
“But I wanted to spend more time with you still”, you whispered and watched as he smiled at you fondly.
He pulled you into a hug and placed his head on yours.
“You can spend more time with me tomorrow. You really need to rest, nerd”, he said and softly stroked your back.
“Mhm…I wanna stay with you though”, you mumbled against his chest.
You really didn’t want to part with him. Katsuki looked down at you as you separated from the hug. The pout drawn on your face was way too adorable for him to ignore. He sighed and shook his head smiling.
“Alright. You can stay here, but only if you go to sleep.”, he explained and you quickly nodded.
He smiled at your enthusiasm. Guess you really didn’t want to leave him today. He grabbed the laptop from the bed and moved it to his desk before he returned to the bed.
“What are you doing?”, you asked as he laid down next to you.
He stopped in his movement and looked at you with slightly red cheeks.
“Oh. Uhm. I assumed you wanted to cuddle, was I wrong?”
Now your cheeks were burning too.
“I-I didn’t think you would…just…You just surprised me. I’d really like to cuddle”, you admitted.
Katsuki was relieved that he didn’t misunderstand you. He laid down comfortably and opened his arms for you. You scooted closer and placed your head on his chest, put an arm around his body and snuggled into him. He put his arms around you cautiously around you and began to draw patterns on your skin.
“Is this ok for you?”, he asked again to make sure you were really comfortable with this.
You hummed happy and snuggled even closer.
“Good. Now get as much rest as you need. I’ll be right here with you when you wake up”
It didn’t take you long to fall into a deep slumber. The sound of his heartbeat and the soft touches on your arm and back slowly made you drift into the land of dreams. Katsuki still watched you for a while before he noticed that the exhaustion from the body swapping slowly started to creep up on him too. Before he closed his eyes, he moved his hand from your arm up to your cheek and softly caressed it before leaning in and placing a soft kiss on your forehead.
