You keep talking about Deku and Bakugo hates it.
Okay, you arenât ALWAYS talking about him, but you had a friendship with Deku before Bakugo. Deku was like your little brother and bestest friend since childhood and growing a bond that couldnt be broken.
COMPLETELY. PLATONIC. NEVER ROMANTIC.
He practically introduced you both back in high school and after a long cat and mouse game you guys finally dated and you and Deku turned into you and Bakugo.
Deku obviously didnt mind, the same thing happened when he got with Ochako, and you both are still good distant friends since getting into a relationship and this being your first romantic one you still had much to learn about boundaries and understanding how to be a proper girlfriend.
Bakugo has gotten a decent amount of patience since doing therapy after and during the end of high school and even having girlfriends prior himself, but youve been testing it.
âOh yeah that cafe! I remember Zuku and I went like 10 years ago when it first opened. Oh my gosh im so sad itâs closed!â
âZuku invited me to speak for his class too.â
His eye twitches a little bit when you mention him at this point. You have told him you and Deku never liked each other, nor done anything.
âI think Zuku still has that, I need to get it back from him.â
Itâs definitely not intentional, but at this point Bakugo twitches seeing your face light up when you talk about âzzuuukuuuuâ.
Itâs all platonic though.
Deku even insisted you should go for Bakugo when you admitted you liked him. And your boyfriend believes you, he doesnt distrust you at all.
The last straw was when you and him were getting ready for a date and you were browsing through your jewelry box and Bakugo seen this beautiful diamond necklace that you donât wear anymore.
You turn and see the pretty jewelry dangle from his fingers, you slightly panic and rush to take it, Bakugo notices the glint in your eye as you look at it, âItâs Zukuâs! Oh wow I thought I lost it. I swear it wasnât in there last time I checked. I should wear itââ
âOh my fuckiâwhy?âŚ.Why exactly do you need to wear this? Are my gifts not enough?â
âWhen did he get you this?â
âOn my 16th birthday heââ
âWere you two dating then or something? Is that why he gave you that kind of gift? Because thatâs around the time we metââ
âNO?! Gosh no Kat, whatâs wrongââ
âNOTHINGâSâ-nevermind.â
His tone was aggressive, Bakugoâs never been this genuinely annoyed, at least not at you so when you shoot your eyes at him, all you see is him turning around to leave the room.
For a moment you didnât understand, itâs just a necklace right? His gifts are amazing though why did he sound so upset?
Your stomach felt heavy now. AlmostâŚlike guilt? But for what??? You just couldnât pin point it so you follow him.
As you watch him through the hallway grabbing a beer, he started mumbling to himself. Bakugo isnât really a drinker, if fact the beer is usually far behind in the fridge due to this. He only ever does when he needs a cop out from stress.
When he takes his sip by the couch he sighs to throw his head back, âYou donât have to hide, Y/NâŚ.Iâm not ganna blow you up.â
He watches you slowly approach him from behind through the mirror, once youre in arms reach he pulls you next to him, but doesnât speak.
When he puts his drink down he turns to face you, fighting back any embarrassment and putting his pride to the back burner he wanted to just lay it all out for you, âI know you and Deku hadâ-have a long relationship and past. And I believe you when you say you and him never âŚwere together, butâŚâ
You just watch him find the words as he takes a pause to look up, his eyes glossy from frustration and eyes scrunched in annoyance, âThe way you talk about Deku to or around me isâŚ.a lot.â
âThe way you talk about him IâI just want âŚâ He sighs, the words are there, he just canât spit them out.
Bakugo always struggled with this, but what made him fall in love with you was your personality, and part of that was how you were so able to read and understand him. Translating the words he couldnât say.
âThe way I talk about Deku is how I should talk about youâŚyes?â
You begin to giggle, and hold his cheeks, âBabyâŚ.Iâm so sorry I made you feel this way. I really didnât realize how much it bothered you. Me and Deku NEVER, ever did anything besides be good friends, and now youâre my best friend so I will make more of an effort to show that more to you.â
It was a weight off his chest you helped him rid of. That jealousy he held and that guilt you felt slowly being washed away.
âYouâre still pouting after I apologized.â
He kisses you, very annoyed, but he does. Thatâs all he really wanted to properly reassure him.
A few weeks since your heart to heart, he wanted to have lunch with you so he stopped by your job to see if you wanted to join him.
At the receptionist desk, he already recognized him, but not because he was a pro hero, but because he was YOUR boyfriend.
âSo, thatâs the famous and amazing boyfriend Y/N swears about. He is tall.â
The small whispers here and there irked him in a way that he wanted to confront, but before he could act he spotted you down the hall.
âOh my gosh hey you!â It was almost like you felt his presence before he could make himself known, turning almost immediately to greet him. âWhat are you doing here?â
âI wanted to see if you were hungry.â
âOh yes! I can go to lunch with you. We can try that restaurant down the street you been wanting to try. Come with me to get my stuff in my office real quick.â
In passing he met your boss, he made a sweet comment of how happier you have been for a while now since you two started dating and it made his cheeks warm. Youâve been talking about him?
It wasnât a lie either. When youâre at work all you do is talk about Bakugo, youâve been at this job for years and everybody noticed how more lively you became since. It was like a whole 180.
When you entered your office he looked around the decently sized room decorated with your personal belongings, but mainly noticed the photos you had of you both on your wall and desk, the flowers he bought you were still alive and doing well, you even had one of his little funko pops. He did notice that you didnât talk about Deku as much anymore, but he had no idea you did the same thing about him (if not more) to others around you.
âOkay.â You grab your purse and shut off your computer, âYâready?â
Bakugo nodded, and grabbed your hand in pair with a forehead kiss.
Youâve always been a proud girlfriend of Bakugo since the first day of your relationship, but nobody was more proud and blessed to have you as their partner than Bakugo.
