“Bro. You have got to say something soon or I’m gonna combust,” Kirishima whispered, leaning across the cafeteria table.
“I have said something!” Denki hissed back, clutching his juice box in agony. “I say things all the time!”
“‘You’d look great in my hoodie’ doesn’t count if she thinks you’re offering it because she’s cold,” Mina said dryly, sipping her smoothie. “Which she did.”
“Okay, but in my defense, she was cold.”
Sero rested his face in his hands. “She literally told you she’d marry Shrek for five bucks. You need to spell it out. In memes. Maybe she’d understand that.”
“She just sent me a TikTok about a raccoon stealing chicken nuggets and wrote ‘this is us.’ What does that even mean?” Denki whisper-yelled.
Bakugou, from across the table: “It means she’s a dumbass, and so are you.”
You slammed your hands on the desk in front of Jirou. “Denki said I’d look hot in his hoodie.”
Jirou blinked. “Yes. Because he likes you.”
You scoffed. “No, he was just being nice. That hoodie is like, universally flattering. Also he said the same thing to that old lady we passed outside the convenience store.”
“That lady was wearing his hoodie because you gave it to her when she got cold, remember?”
You paused. “…That was sweet of him.”
Jirou sighed the sigh of a girl watching two people willfully avoid happiness.
Denki was pacing outside the classroom with a death grip on his phone. Sero and Mina were behind him like emotional support cheerleaders.
“Okay, what if I just say it?” he asked. “Like, direct. Super simple. No memes. Just: ‘Hey, I like you. Romantically. Please date me and be my girlfriend and let me hold your hand sometimes.’”
“That’s perfect!” Mina said. “Say it exactly like that!”
“Unless she thinks it’s a bit,” Sero offered. “You know, because she never takes anything seriously?”
Denki froze. “Oh god, you’re right. What if she thinks I’m joking?”
You walked up right then, headphones in, scrolling your phone and grinning.
“I’m sorry, did you guys see that one edit of Bakugou and a rotisserie chicken? I can’t breathe.”
“Hi,” Denki said weakly. “I… like you.”
“I like you too, bro!” you said cheerfully, punching him in the arm. “Bestie vibes. Solid friendship. Top tier.”
Denki turned to the others, looking haunted. “She friendzoned me in real time. I watched it happen.”
Sero patted his back. “Pour one out for our fallen soldier.”
It took Bakugou snapping.
You were hanging out with the squad in the common room, half-asleep on Denki’s shoulder, laughing at a stupid cat meme while he stared down at you like you hung the moon.
“He looks at her like she invented electricity,” Mina whispered.
“She’s literally using his chest as a pillow right now,” Kirishima whispered back. “How does she not know?”
That’s when Bakugou, across the room with a twitching eye and zero patience left, exploded.
“FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, HE’S IN LOVE WITH YOU.”
“He’s in love with you, you sentient potato chip! Romantically. He wants to date you. Hold hands. Probably kiss you. The whole damn package.”
You looked at Denki, wide-eyed. “You do?”
Denki looked like he was buffering. “I—I mean—yeah! I thought it was obvious! I complimented your hair and you said ‘thanks, it’s attached to my head.’”
You blinked. “I thought you were just being sweet!”
“I asked if you wanted to do a TikTok couple challenge and you said ‘haha yeah we’d be such good fake internet clout partners’!”
“Oh my god,” you groaned, slapping a hand over your face. “I’m the problem. I’m the whole problem.”
“Shut up, Katsuki,” you muttered automatically.
You turned to Denki, cheeks flushed. “Wait. So… you actually like me? Like, for real? Not for meme reasons?”
He nodded, rubbing the back of his neck. “Like, so much. Like, maybe-too-much. Like, I thought about writing a poem but it was just ‘ur pretty’ over and over.”
You smiled, heart fluttering, and leaned into him. “Okay. Then you’re allowed to hold my hand now.”
He lit up like a Christmas tree. “Wait, really?!”
You laced your fingers through his. “Yes. And I want your hoodie too. Because now it’s romantic.”
Everyone: cheering noises
Bakugou: “Finally. God. I can breathe again.”
