à»A/Nà» This is my first write since my Wattpad days 8 years ago. Some characters could be a little ooc and there may be grammatical errors. Enjoy ! <3
Bakugo Katsuki is a complicated and complex man. Itâs not new to hear of the many layers this guy has, making it incredibly difficult to break down his barriers. If youâre a new student the probability that he would even regard you as anything but an insignificant extra is slim. It would take a lot for him to even acknowledge you let alone get close to you.
Bakugo Katsuki is the type of guy that would take ages to warm up to you, if ever. If youâre lucky enough to gain his respect, which would only happen because of your powerful quirk or strong willed mindset, it could take a few months. Becoming friends with him would be an even harder feat. Halfway into the year if you managed to gain his respect, maybe just maybe youâd be able to become an acquaintance of his but nothing more.
Being Bakugo Katsukiâs acquaintance would mean you probably are friends with Kirishima as well. Maybe you are in a group chat with Bakusquad, which is how you wouldâve gotten Bakugoâs number. If you decided to text him privately, he would give dry one word responses or leave you on read. I could imagine y/n asking for homework help only to receive a simple thumbs down react and a ânoâ. Of course, if you really wanted help from him specifically it would take a week of constant pestering to get him to crack. He would probably say something like, âif I say yes will you shut the fuck up and stop bothering me?!â Or something along those lines.
As Bakugo Katsukiâs friend, youâre not going to get a lot more. He might be more willing to help you study for upcoming exams, and definitely would want to train with you (itâs more of a competitive thing to him than anything else). I could see him maybe just maybe cooking for his friends but only because youâre âeating unhealthyâ and he thinks itâll make you preform poorly while sparring with him⊠which would impact the âcompetitionâ. You might get lucky and drag him to the mall with the Bakusquad once in a blue moon, if it fit his schedule and he felt like it.
Overall, Bakugo Katsuki isnât an easy person to know on a deeper level, but I donât think itâs impossible. Iâm sure with enough time and patience, along with his personal development/growth over the years would allow you to get closer. It would never be the same as what you expect from other people, so if you want a ânormalâ friendship he wonât give you that. I think in a way he would end up pushing you to be a better person yourself, fixing any bad routines or habits you might have. Regardless, if you did stick around and managed to gain his respect and companionship he would be there for you when it mattered (in his own way of course).
Kirishima Eijiro is a kind soul, with his own set of flaws. As much of a well loved person as he is, he is also insecure. I imagine his desire to be âmanlyâ stems from feeling like he wasnât good enough, or a result of being bullied. Itâs not unfamiliar to hear him being a sweetheart to everyone, I mean this guy would love to get to know you as a new student. He would offer to show you around because how could he not help someone in an unfamiliar environment?
Kirishima Eijiro loves to help. I think in a way, being well liked by his peers is something heâs always craved yet never received, hence why he tries to be the manliest for everyone. He would hate for anyone to feel the way he did, and maybe still does? With you heâd invite you to sit and eat lunch with him and his friends, or go out to see a movie with them. Always seeking to invite you, and would offer some solid advice if you felt down about anything. It wouldnât take much to become friends with him.
Once youâre Kirishima Eijiroâs acquaintance, youâre also his friend. I think he kinda skips that part when forming platonic relationships with others. Why not if you like who the other person is, right? Being his friend would be fun. You would be able to go to him for help with anything, really. Need help doing your hair? Awesome, you can even help dye his hair. Donât want to go to the store alone? Perfect! Heâs been dying to grab these new protein bars anyways. Movie nights are a must, you both would have weekly marathons with all your favourite movies. He would also love to train with you, totally not to show off how manly he is or whateverâŠ
Overall, Kirishima Eijiro is the epitome of a green flag. Just donât forget he has his insecurities. This guy has been through it, feeling like heâs not enough or unlikeable to the rest of society. He probably doubts himself and how others see him as much as he trusts that they are honest and true. Itâs always an inner conflict with him, regardless of how he perceives to others on the outside. Thatâs why, he would do anything for the people he cares about the most. A ride or die type of guy.
Todoroki Shoto is an enigma, honestly. Not so much in a bad way, but with how complicated it is to get a read on the guy. His family troubles clearly contributed to his distance and lack of emotion comprehension. He seems even more challenging than Bakugo. This man is more detached than anyone, and his lack of ability to form proper human connection will make it hard to get acknowledgment from him. If youâre new and interested in him, youâll have to approach him first.
Todoroki Shoto is icey cold, literally and figuratively. Not that he canât warm up to you, or doesnât have the ability to get to know other people itâs just so incredibly difficult for him. He doesnât want to be a failure, having dealt with feelings like that all throughout his childhood. Never having proper support from anyone, including barely having any friends. He was a loner, so much so that itâs just how he behaves in social settings even now. Itâs routine, and his normal. Thatâs why you would have to show him or give him a reason to want to learn about others.
As Todoroki Shotoâs acquaintance I donât imagine he would initiate anything. He would probably be a dry texter, but unlike Bakugo itâs not because he doesnât care, itâs because heâs just like that. Would also find it hard to understand any jokes you might make, taking them quite literally instead. He wouldnât be unfriendly as an acquaintance per say, but you will often not know how heâs feeling or if he even likes you. Thatâs why itâs up to you to get to know him, and approach him because if you donât good luck being friends with him
Once youâre friends with Todoroki Shoto, heâll comply with any activities you want to do, nonchalantly going along with it. Most hangouts will be going out to grab soba or walks in the park. Simple things that donât require a lot of socializing or other people. A private guy, prefers to keep to himself. Youâll end up dragging him anywhere social. Since Todoroki is sort of friends with Midoriya, by default y/n would be too. Almost like a trio. Almost.
Overall, Todoroki Shoto is an emotionally distant guy. He doesnât socialize much, nor does he find platonic connections easy or simple. Despite all of that if you two did manage to become friends youâd be doing most of the work. He might not know how to deal with others emotions, but he would make for an excellent listener. Willingly listening to you rant about everything an anything, just being there and nodding along to what you have to say. He would appreciate that you try so hard to be his friend, knowing that heâs not an easy person to let others in.
