Prom — 𑣲кatsuki Bakugou
When UA announced that they’d be hosting a prom this year, all of the students were ecstatic! including you, your boyfriend Katsuki? Not so much. Still, he knew how much it’d meant to you and how badly you wanted to go, so he asked you to be his date anyway. He went out and got his suit fitted and even added little orange details—his tie and handkerchief — to match your dress. How sweet.
It’s now one day before prom—exciting, right? Wrong. Your immune system has quit, letting every nasty germ make you sick. You can hardly breathe and your head aches; there’s no way you can go. When Katsuki heard, he was grateful—not for your suffering, but because he “wouldn’t have to go to some lame dance with those losers.”
But when he saw your face on FaceTime, talking about how much you wished you could have gone, that look changed everything.
God. He just had to be an amazing boyfriend, didn’t he?
Emotionally unregulated? Sure. But Katsuki Bakugou is an incredible boyfriend. So incredible that when you were feeling better, he went down to the store and came back with bags of decorations—everything he needed to turn his backyard into a makeshift prom. Just for you.
Fairy lights were hung along the fence, a few paper lanterns—mostly orange, of course— hung between them, swaying slightly in the nightly breeze. He created a small, makeshift “dance floor” using a cheap but surprisingly neat string of lights laid around the edges of the grass. There were streamers, some a little crooked; a small table sat off to the side with your favorite snacks and drinks, and a Bluetooth speaker played a playlist curated from all your favorite songs. He spent 2 hours making it.
He was dedicated to making you have a good time. There was even a banner he made that had the word “prom” on it in big glittery letters. It wasn’t perfect; some tape was visible, streamers were uneven, and not all of the decorations matched.
But when you arrived, wearing the dress he told you to wear “just because” you loved it. It felt better than any real prom could have, and the fact that your Katsuki did all of this for you? That made it perfect.
“Tonight, we could spend forever under the stars.” A faster-paced song plays through the speaker, a little distorted since it’s a cheap one, but it’s loud enough. You’re already spinning and trying to pull him along with you. He’s half-assing it, stiff, very off-beat… but he tries. “How long are we gonna stay out here, Kats?” You ask. He just shrugs his shoulders, “As long as you’d like…dork.” Truthfully? He was already a bit tired and wouldn’t mind going inside right now.. but he’d stay out longer for you. “As long as you’d like.”
“…The radios on, they’re playing our song.” The song changes—slower now. More familiar. The one that was playing softly in the background of his car when he asked you to be his girlfriend. He notices it before you do, of course, he does. “Oh— Katsuki! It’s our song, come on!” You grab his hands; this time, he isn’t as stiff. He’s trying.
“This feels like prom.” It’s not fancy or grand, streamers are uneven, the banner is crooked, and the snacks and juice have been left untouched. Yet somehow, all you can think about is how this is much better than the real thing could ever have been.
“I’ll be the homecoming king to your queen.” “Come here, come over here for a sec.” He brings you over to the snack table, and a plastic tiara and crown sit in the center. He takes the crown and places it on his own head before placing the tiara gently onto yours. “There.. queen of prom or whatever.” He pulls out his phone and holds the camera up towards you, “Don’t make it sappy.. just smile.”
“Nothing but you and me and the stars.” As another slower song drifts in, he’s the one who steps closer this time. Your hands find each other naturally. He rests his chin on your head, closing his eyes, swaying gently with the melody of the song. No extra noise, no pressure. just him, his favorite girl, his favorite person in general, really, dancing under the stars.
“Photo Booth with the phone light, making it last for a lifetime, memory looking so bright in your arms.” “Here, take this.” He hands you his phone, the camera app already open. You smile and pull him close, cheek to cheek. Snap. Another. This time, a peck on his cheek. Another. This time, making funny faces. One more snap. You’re at the camera, and Katsuki is looking at you with a subtle smile and a look of love in his eyes. Though he pretends to be annoyed by the entire situation… and he complains “okay that’s enough! You’ll take up all my phone storage..” but later he’ll secretly look at every photo with a stupid grin on his face and commit everyone to memory like he always does. He loves you so damn much, and he’d recreate a thousand+ proms if it meant seeing you smile
Tysm for requesting! I tried my best really this song was so hard to match with Katsuki and I wrote it at 3am 😭
Thank you for reading, hope you enjoyed.
I’ll see you in the next one ദ്ദി (๑>•̀๑)
