Don’t Ignore Me! (Bakugou x Reader)
Pairing: Bakugou x Reader
Requested from my Wattpad: “Can you please do a fluffy Bakugo x reader chapter where the reader was dared by her friends to try to do ‘ignore your boyfriend for 24 hours’ challenge? If you don’t know, this challenge makes it so that the reader would have to pretend that Bakugo does not exist and they can’t respond to any of Bakugo’s questions or anything. Look up videos of the challenge if you want to get a better grasp of what the challenge is.”
Genre: Fluff (and slight crack?)

a/n: This ended up being longer than I anticipated… And was a bit difficult to start, but the more I wrote, the more I wanted to write, so I guess it worked out! I kind of imagined at least 3 different ways this could’ve turned nsfw, but THIS ISN’T THAT KIND OF ONE SHOT SHAME ON ME!
The next post will also be a slightly crack/fluff Baku request from my Wattpad then a Kiri angst, but I miiight not be able to post until Friday or Saturday. I’m taking a mini road trip down to Florida and it’ll take almost 14 hours, so hopefully I can get some writing done on the drive or once I get there.
Why did I let Mina convince me to do this?
I wanted to text Katsuki earlier and tell him not to come home just so I won’t have to ignore him, but that wouldn’t be ignoring him! She told me it would be fun just to see his reaction, and while I initially agreed, it didn’t sound as appealing the more I thought about it. This will probably end in screaming or tears rather than laughs.
The door opens and keys rattle. "I’m home!“ his voice booms out.
I keep my back turned to him as I stir the curry on the stove. You can do this, it’s just a prank, it’s only temporary. You got this, just pretend he’s not there.
His heavy footsteps approach me, the hairs on my back tingling as I anticipate him coming up behind me as he usually does. His puffy hair brushes the side of my head as he peers over my shoulder. "Sweet, curry! Wait for me, we can eat together.” Without hesitating, he kisses my cheek and leaves.
I have to resist the urge to answer him back. Since part of the challenge is to ignore him, I decide to eat without him. I spoon out some curry on rice and sit at the table by myself. I don’t know how exactly he’s going to react, but I know he won’t be happy. We always have our meals together and we talk about our day. This is gonna be such a jarring break from routine; it’ll be difficult for both of us.
He comes back into the room and I don’t even look up at him, just scrolling through my phone as I eat. His footsteps stop short of the table. "What the- I thought I told you to wait for me!“
I focus on chewing my food so I don’t say anything back to him and try to keep a straight face.
"And you didn’t even leave a plate for me, what the heck,” he grumbles to himself, swaggering into the kitchen to grab one from the cabinet. He finally sat down with his plate of rice, his pepper paste concoction, and curry. "So, how was your day-?“
I’d already finished my dinner, so I stand up, cutting him off. I feel his eyes on me as I casually put my plate in the sink and start cleaning up.
"What the hell?” I catch him mumbling to himself. "Babe? What’s up?“ He sounds genuinely confused at my behavior.
I don’t answer him, continuing to just do my dishes and put away the leftovers into the fridge. I debated whether or not I should prepare Katuski’s lunch for work tomorrow as I usually do. I mean, I’m just supposed to be ignoring him, not pretending he doesn’t exist. I start taking some of dinner out into one of his containers wordlessly.
As I do that, Katsuki slowly stands up with his finished plate and places them into the sink. Even as he washes his own dishes, I feel him eye me with his crimson orbs, raking my entire figure over. When he’s about to say something, I put his food container into the fridge and leave the kitchen, strolling into our shared bedroom and settling on our bed. There’s a twinge of guilt as I lay around without him. Usually, we’d be attached at the hip from the time he gets home to when he leaves in the morning. He’s so perplexed over the whole ordeal.
As I’m scrolling on my laptop, I notice him tentatively tiptoe into the room. He hesitates every step of the way as if he’s testing the waters. Maybe he’s thinking I’m angry at him? It’s almost cute the way he slowly gauges my reaction to every move he makes like he’s expected me to explode. I’ve never given him the silent treatment; when we argue, we just yell at each other one minute and the next minute we’re fine. This is brand new territory for him.
The bed sinks in next to me as Katsuki rolls in. At first, he’s just staring at me, scanning for any trace of anger. "Why are you so quiet today?” When I don’t answer, he frowns. "Hello? What’s going on?“ He half jokingly pokes the side of my head.
I have to furrow my brows and bite my bottom lip to pretend like I’m too invested in what’s on my screen so I won’t laugh.
"Are you ignoring me?” I hear the annoyance growing in his voice. "Did I do something?“ At my continued silence he throws himself onto his back and groans. "I don’t get it! I don’t know what I did!”
Aw, he’s blaming himself. I feel kinda bad. I know he’s beating himself up for a stupid prank I’m trying to pull on him, but I wanna see this all the way through, or at least as long as I can hold out.
His hand suddenly slams my laptop screen closed. It takes my entire being to keep a blank face and not glare at him. "Are you gonna talk to me now?“ There’s a hint of a smirk in his voice. I bite my tongue and open the screen again, but he pushes it back down. "Wonder what you’re so engrossed in to talk to me.”
I don’t even huff as I pull out my phone and start scrolling through it instead. He groans out again and snatches my phone away from me. Hoe-
“I thought we solved our problems by talking about it? Why are you ignoring me?”
I turn over onto my side and show him my back.
“What the f-” The weight releases from the side of the bed and I shut my eyes just in case he wants to show up in front of me. He’s getting angry now.
He paces around the room for a while, and the soft rustling tells me he’s threading his hands messily through his hair. I feel proud that I know him so well, I can read him like the back of my hand. Katsuki’s stomps finally approach me. "(Y/n).“ His voice is close to me, so he’s kneeling down, but his tone is more somber. "Talk to me, please? If it was something I did, I need to know, I really can’t think of anything. I’m going crazy here, just say something for me?”
My heart sinks. This isn’t something I was expecting from him. I thought he’d be louder about it.
“Seriously, I don’t want to go to sleep while you’re angry at me, that’s not right. How do I know something didn’t happen to you? Talk to me!”
His desperate pleads almost weaken me completely, and I want to break down and put a stop to this, but I’m gonna be strong. I keep my eyes closed even in the face of all this and swallow my emotions down.
He sighs and his footsteps retreat. Then they stop. Wait, what’s he-
Suddenly the bed sinks at the foot and the weight travels up to my back. "Fine. Try to keep ignoring me, we’ll see what happens.“
Crap, what have I gotten myself into?
Katsuki first drops his heavily muscular arm over me, looping it around my shoulders so his thumb brushes the top of my collarbone buried into the mattress. My fingers itch trying to ignore my reflex of placing my hand on top of his. "Anyway, my day was okay. I really missed you though. Shitty Hair was there, annoying the hell out of me as usual. Phone battery was even there too. By the way, leftovers from last night still tasted really good a day later…”
I want to laugh. So hard. But if I even so much as shake from laughter, the jig is up. Every time I feel like laughing, I hold my breath. He’s too funny, going on about his day as if I was actually talking to him. It’s killing me!
Breaking off his monologue for a brief second, he throws a leg over my hip. "Where was I? Oh right-“
My eyes shoot open. WHAT THE HELL KATSUKI!?
I want to yell at him for being such a child, but I can’t help thinking it’s kind of adorable. He’s hogging his favorite toy in the world, clinging to it like a lifeline. At this point, the laughter is just sitting in the back of my throat ready to explode at the drop of a hat.
Katsuki breaks off again and sucks his teeth.
Damn it, what’s he planning now?
My body is rolled over onto my back and his full body weight suddenly crushes all the breath out of me. This idiot only smirks down at me. "You can’t ignore a crushing weight on your chest, can you?”
“Fuck’s sake! I can’t do this anymore!” I finally break down and scream. "Get off me!“
He clings his arms around me again so neither of us can move. "Oh, look at that, you can talk!”
“Katsuki, your giant tits are suffocating me, get off!”
“Not until you tell me why you’re ignoring me!”
I groan, utterly defeated anyway. "Fine! It was a prank! Mina dared me to do it!“
His eyebrows furrow. "Pinky put you up to this?!” He rolls off so I can breathe properly and sit up. "Why would you even follow through with that?“
"I don’t know, I thought it would be fun?” I recognize the genuine anger and hurt in his eyes and reach for his hand. "It was stupid, I know, I’m sorry.“
He turns around and gives me his back like a pouting child. "I really thought I did something, dumbass! Do you know how confused I was? That wasn’t cool.”
I crawl up behind him and slither my arms around his neck. "I know, it was hard for me to stay quiet knowing how upset you sounded.“
Katsuki’s voice gets softer. "I thought you were gonna break up with me.”
My entire body gets cold at his somberness. Considering our track record, this is a strange occurrence for us. I can’t imagine the thoughts going through his head, especially knowing how insecure he can feel. I bury my head in his neck. "I knew this would probably happen.“ I kiss the taut skin. "I’m sorry I hurt you. I love you, Katsuki.”
He turns around in my arms and stares me down, his lip still slightly jutting out. "You have to make it up to me with cuddles for the rest of the night.“
A relaxed smile spreads across my face, relieved that he’s more or less recovered from it. "Deal.”
We lay back onto the bed again, his head pressed into my chest and his arms constricting around me so I can’t move away. Fingers brush against the side of his head, in his hair, and on the exposed skin at the hem of my shirt. "Don’t do that to me again, dumbass.“
A light groan vibrates from his chest. "Tell me you love me again,“ he mumbles out the order.
I tilt my head down and press a kiss to his forehead before placing my lips near his ear. "I love you, dork.”
