Everyone knows Baku likes you.
His friends know it. Your friends know it. Even random people passing by can tell from the way he follows you around with a stupid grin on his face.
The only person pretending not to notice is you.
When Baku asks for help studying for his math final, you agree, hoping he'll finally focus on something other than flirting. But after a harmless reward system involving kisses on the cheek, Baku suddenly becomes the most motivated student alive.
Turns out, he'll do anything for extra credit.

Baku had been crushing on you for a long time.
He always found an excuse to sit next to you, wrapped an arm around your shoulders whenever he could get away with it, and smiled more around you than anyone else.
You ignored it, of course.
The truth was that you liked him too.
And unfortunately, exactly your type.
“Come on, Y/N!” he whined dramatically, putting both hands on the table.
You rolled your eyes, though a smile tugged at your lips as you looked down at the math problems spread across the table.
“Baku, I told you. I just don’t want a relationship.”
The problem was that he’d asked you to help him study for his upcoming math final.
The bigger problem was that he’d spent the entire session flirting instead of studying.
You’d made absolutely zero progress.
“Did you ask me to come here so you could flirt with me or so you could actually study?” you asked sternly.
Baku immediately pouted and dropped his forehead onto the table.
After a moment, you scooted your chair closer and sat beside him.
His head instantly shot up.
A grin spread across his face.
“Suddenly I’m way more focused.”
He grabbed a worksheet and stared at it.
You were pretty sure he had no idea what he was looking at.
You picked up one of the sheets.
A simple algebra problem.
You tapped your chin thoughtfully.
His eyes narrowed suspiciously.
Then a small smile appeared on your face.
“How about I kiss your cheek for every question you get right?”
The next thing you knew, he was clapping excitedly.
Several people looked over.
You immediately grabbed his wrists.
He lowered his voice dramatically.
You laughed despite yourself.
For the first time all afternoon, Baku actually started working.
A few minutes later, he shoved the paper toward you.
Before you could even reach for it, he leaned toward you and tapped his cheek.
“I didn’t even check it yet.”
“I can feel that it’s right.”
“That’s not how math works.”
You pushed his face away and laughed.
Baku groaned dramatically.
The second he saw your expression, his shoulders slumped.
“I’m not passing this final.”
You chuckled and ruffled his hair.
His expression immediately softened.
You began walking him through the problem step by step.
Or at least he pretended to.
Because every time you looked up, he was staring at you.
“I think…” he muttered after a while. “I get it.”
This time he actually focused.
His pencil moved across the page.
A few minutes later, he practically slammed the worksheet onto the table.
The smile on his face was immediate.
“Unfortunately..” you said, “that means I have to give you your reward.”
You made a disgusted face.
“Don’t act like it’s a punishment.”
You laughed and leaned over.
A quick kiss landed on his cheek.
But the moment your lips touched his skin—
The smug grin disappeared.
His eyes widened slightly as he stared at you.
His face slowly turned red.
“Solve another question.”
Without another word, Baku immediately grabbed his pencil.
You laughed so hard you nearly dropped your worksheet.
An hour later, he proudly handed over an entire stack of completed questions.
“You solved all of them?”
He looked at you like you’d asked the dumbest question imaginable.
“So I can get more kisses.”
You looked over the answers.
Every single answer was right.
Baku leaned back proudly.
“Of course this is what motivates you.”
“That was ten questions.”
You reached over and gently held his jaw.
The confidence immediately vanished.
His entire body went rigid.
His ears turned bright red.
Yet he stayed perfectly still.
You couldn’t help smiling.
By then he looked ready to pass out.
A mix of cheek kisses, forehead kisses, and one along his jaw.
When you pulled away, faint lipstick marks decorated his face.
Baku looked like he’d just won the lottery.
You leaned back in your chair.
He touched one of the lipstick marks and grinned.
A few moments passed before he spoke again.
You already knew where this was going.
His face immediately fell.
“that’s literally the point.”
Baku crossed his arms and pouted.
But judging by the giant smile he couldn’t hide…
He was already planning on getting a hundred.
