Summary: Struggles with your soon to be ex boyfriend lead to an unsuspecting relationship with the one and only Katsuki Bakugou.
I had this random idea for a one-shot for about 2 months now and I finally decided to share with thoe amazing people of Tumblr 👍🏾.
“This is so stupid”. You were currently outside the U.A building on a Saturday night, muttering and complaining to yourself on and on how stupid love is. But at every little noise your perked up a little with hope building inside, only for you to be bursted like a bubble when it was just a small animal or creature among the bushes. You checked your watch again: 7:56. You had been waiting for nearly an hour for your (ex) boyfriend to show up. Sighing you slouched back on the spacious bench behind the U.A building.
“Well waddayah know” the familiar voice rung in your head. Without having to look back the voice which belonged to a certain blonde haired boy was recognizable to you. Rolling your eyes you didn’t even look behind you. “Oi, I know you hear me! I’m talking to you dimwit!”. You just shook your head as Bakugou grunted, and walked to the right side of the bench to face you.
“What are you still doing here? I thought you were supposed to be on a date with what’s his face?” Bakugou said. “I don’t want to hear it Bakugou, if you want to rub it in that you were right just do that nothing can make me feel worse than I already do.” Instead of the usual boasting, not a single word was said out of Bakugou. “I’m not going to say that, but you should’ve listened to me I’m almost always right.” You coudn’t respond to that (no matter how untrue that was) he was right this time.
Just earlier that day you were going on and on about how your boyfriend had planned to take you to the seasonal carnival that night. “That’s great! But are you sure you want to go with him?” Your best friend Mina had asked. She knew about your boyfriend’s “communication” problems, and frankly she didn’t like him (but she never told you that). This guy has sent you into so many heartbreaks and lonely nights leading you to be comforted by your friends. Heck this guy has even been caught eating dinner with other women MULTIPLE TIMES! Once Denki and Kirishima stopped by to pick up their food at their favorite restaurant and saw him feeding another female. But your boyfriend saw them he tried to convince them that the lady was his cousin. And you believed it! Actually you just wanted to believe he was telling the truth.
“Yea it’s fine, he’s really changing himself for me.” You reply.
“I’ve heard that one before.” Bakugou snorted walking behind Mina into the main room holding a half full water bottle in his hand. “Bakugou!” Mina screeched while elbowing him in the stomach. “OW! WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!?”
“No it’s fine Mina if Bakugou wants to hold a grudge against my boyfriend then so it be it.” you stepped in. “How is the man that cheated on you twice your boyfriend?” Mina sighed and rolled her eyes at Bakugou’s response. “He didn’t cheat on me those are his cousins you idiot!”. You gave Mina a ‘Time to walk away look’ as she nodded, and waltzed away slowly.
“Why do you hate him more than you hate me?” You asked, Bakugou scoffing as he took a gulp of water. “If you don’t see the problem with him you’re blind and stupid.” “Then I guess I’m blind and stupid because I’m going out with him to night.” Bakugou just stared at you. Not a single word just the smallest curve on the side of his lips. “Is something funny?” You ask. “Yea, the fact that you think this boy is actually going to show up.” Bakugou chuckled.
You just stared at this man in disbelief. But you wern’t going to give him what he wants, no it’s best to respond with something he doesn’t expect. “Aww you sound jealous” you reply, as Bakugou’s eyes grow wide. “Me? JEALOUS?” he yelled as you nodded. “WHY WOULD I BE JEALOUS OF YOUR FAILING RELATIONSHIP?!” You shrugged as you walked toward the exit of the room. “TO HELL WITH IT! DON’T COME CRYING TO ME WHEN HE DOESN’T SHOW UP!” ‘That boy will do anything to ruin anyone’s day’ you thought leaving the room to a still angered Bakugou.
It was only moments like this when you were sitting on the bench all alone that you wished you’d listen to Bakugou. It was quiet as Bakugou waited for a response from you, as you waited for one from him. “So what? You’re just going to sit here by yourself at night depressed all dressed up over some damn idiot?” Bakugou questioned filling the silence.
“Yea at this point” you said fidgeting with the bracelet your ex had given you. Bakugou tapped his foot for a minute before grunting, and grabbing you by your arm and pulling you off the bench. “BRO! Let go of me!” you refused trying to pry your arm out of his hand. But he was was too strong for you to escape his grasp (but lawd was his biceps kicking 😩). He didn’t say anything, he just began walking with you to the exit of the school’s area.
As you exited the school’s premises you noticed Bakugou’s car outside on a curb. It was a shiny black Range Rover, with black rims. He had recently got it for his 17th birthday, and when he did he boasted about it a lot. Whenever his school work would be done you could sometimes catch him riding around in it further in the town, and you had to admit he looked hot.
Bakugou stopped at the car, let go of you and opened the passenger door. “Get in” he said. You just stared at this man who had the most dead serious look you’ve ever seen.
“What so you can carry me off to the woods and murder me? Heck no I think I’ll stay.” You said planting your feet in the ground and crossing your arms. Bakugou shrugged and walked over to the drivers side of the car, he started it up as your pout seemed to not affect him at all. You rolled your eyes as you entered the car. You took a nice look around at the car before plopping down in the seat and closing the door.
“So where are we going?” You asked him as he started the engine, not answering your question. You started tapping your foot a bit as you realized you were being ignored. Instead of spazzing off on him you looked to the back of his car. It was huge and had a lot of room and space. He had car scent in the air event trying to cover up the new car smell.
As Bakugou got on the road he seemed a bit more relaxed and laid back. He didn’t say much during the ride, you thought that he was probably annoyed with you which is why you were surprised when he gave the aux cord.
“Play something good not girly.” You took the cord and hooked it up to your phone. You tried to find something suitable for the both of you to enjoy. You ended up playing “Worth It” by The Weeknd which soothed your mind. Bakugou grunted, “Not bad taste I guess”. You sunk back in his leather seat pleased by his first given compliment. When the song came to an end you decided to try something suitable for the situation you were in.
Bakugou looked at you with a (tiny but fairly noticeable) smirk, as “Kill Bill” by Sza filled the silence in the car. You couldn’t help mouthing the words and motioning your hands no matter how embarrassing it may be. “I’m so mature, I’m so mature, I’m so mature I got me a therapist to tell me there’s other men…”. Bakugou began tapping his hand on his armrest imitating the beat. “I might kill my ex, not the best idea. His new girlfriend’s next how’d I get here?” You sung quietly, shutting up quickly after the verse was over. “Why’d you stop?” Bakugou chuckled a bit, as you laughed in response. The rest of the song was tapping and singing between the both of you until it ended.
Along the ride more songs were played until Bakugou came to a red light and turned the volume down after the last verse of a Steve Lacy song. You looked at Bakugou as he looked at you. “Hey, what I’m about to do; don’t take it seriously. I’m just trying to get your mind off that little boyfriend of yours.” He said facing the road again when the light turned green.
“Ok?” You replied confused. You looked out the window and read the signs to the places you were passing by: A shoe shop, a small outlet mall, and the fair that everyone at school had been talking about. You hoped to go there with your boyfriend one day but you knew there was no chance of that happening. As you watched the signs get closer Bakugou began slowing down as you watched in shock as he turned into the parking lot of the fair.
Once he found a parking spot he stopped the car and exited. You were shook. ‘There’s no way that Katsuki Bakugou is taking me to the fair.’ You thought as Bakugou began walking towards the entrance of the fair. However he stopped in his tracks when he noticed you weren’t behind him but still in his car with your jaw on the floor. “ARE YOU COMING OR NOT?” Bakugou yelled loud enough for you to hear even in the car. You mouthed ‘sorry’ as you quickly exited the car.
You caught up to Bakugou and began to walk to the stand with him. When you arrived you were behind a couple who had just received there wristbands. “Enjoy your time!” said the lady in the booth handing out tickets. “About damn time.” Bakugou said as you hit him. Before Bakugou had a chance to throw a hissy fit the lady asked for what you would like.
While Bakugou continued to sputter angrily you decided to speak for him. “Two wristbands please!” You said. “Oh another beautiful couple! You must be a very lucky lady!” She said as the sputtering behind you came to a quick stop. “Uh I’m sorry did I say something wro-?” “WHAT THE HELL DID YOU JUST CALL US?! LISTEN UP I…” You sighed and faced the woman tuning out Bakugou. “Please just give us the tickets” you said handing her the money Bakugou had given you as she quickly handed you the wristbands . “Thank you” you said taking the wristbands while taking Bakugou by the arm past the gate.
When you came to a stop Bakugou had calmed down. You handed him his wristband as he looked down at your feet. “How are you supposed to stand in line for a long time with those?” He asked pointing down at your chunky black stiletto heels “I mean don’t they get uncomfortable?” You were pleased with Bakugou for even caring about you. You pulled a pair of black and white checkered vans and slipped them on your feet, as Bakugou lifted your black heels off the fair ground. When you rose back up he handed you your heels and you placed them in your bag.
“So what do you want to do first?” He muttered. “How about the Scrambler?” You asked pointing to one of the rides with multiple arms, lights, and people on it. It rotated and revolved at the same time moving around constantly. “Starting off small eh?” Bakugou said smirking. “Only for you” you replied beginning to walk towards the ride’s line. “Oh we’ll see.”
Once the wait in the line was over you two got in the same cart and strapped yourselves in. The cart was pretty tight so you too were thigh to thigh. The pole that was put over the two of you was small as well so your hands were also interacting. When Bakugou noticed it he turned his head away so you wouldn’t see him flustered. When the ride started you two began to spin around. Every second that passed the ride would get faster and you would laugh and throw your head back. Bakugou rolled his eyes but couldn’t help cracking a smile at the sight.
Once the ride was over Bakugou stopped you in your tracks. “So what’s next?” “I don’t know yet but I’m not getting on a ride with anybody who just ate, I want to leave this place with a clean outfit.” “Alright how about something a little bit more rough princess?” He said sarcastically. You were no fan of his sarcasm but this time you wern’t complaining.
For the next 40 minutes you and Bakugou rode multiple rides but after the Swing Ride you were famished. “Where we going next?” Bakugou asked you. “Food” you replied pointing at one of the concession stands. “Alright if you’re that hungry already” Bakugou chuckled. He took you over to the stand where a man worked behind the booth preparing food. “What may I get for you?” He asked finally turning his attention to you both. Why were you hungry but hadn’t decided what you wanted? You looked up at Bakugou letting him know you were unsure. He grunted as he looked through the options for food.
“Fríes and a pink lemonade” he said knowing you loved both foods. You smiled at Bakugou as you reached for your purse. You grabbed your wallet out of your purse before Bakugou smacked your hand and threw it back in. “Ow what was that for?” You asked shaking your hand. “I’m paying, not you” he replied taking yen out of his pocket. Although you were just smacked you couldn’t help but like this new attitude change of Bakugou’s.
Once your food was finished you were given a cup of fries and a cup of lemonade with two straws. “Um” “Why did you give her TWO straws, are you that dumb?” Bakugou said saying the words you wanted to say. “Oh are you two not a couple? I thought maybe you would drink out of the same glass, you know like in the movies?” The chef replied. “We’re not a couple thank you though goodbye” you quickly said taking Bakugou by the arm who was already heating up. Even though you dragged him away you couldn’t stop his mouth from running.
After you finished eating (and don’t tell anyone but Bakugou let you feed him french fries 🤭) you told Bakugou how you longed to go on the Ferris Wheel more than anything. “So the Ferris Wheel was the ride you looked forward to the whole time, you’re a little bundle of fun aren’t you” he said sarcastically, but still lead you into the line.
You were the last people to get on the ride so when it started you had to make no stops. Bakugou watched you as you looked out the glass windows and watch as you got higher into the air. He also turned to look out the windows, looking down on the tiny people and stands in the crowd. In the crowd he spotted someone with yellow hair and a black streak. “Hey is that dunce face?” He asked you looking back at you, only to notice a tear rolling down the side of your cheek.
“Hey, what’s wrong?” He asked you as you quickly wiped your tear. “Nothing” you replied still facing the opposite way. “I’m not stupid, I said tell me what’s wrong” he said grabbing your chin now facing him. “And I said I’m fine” you replied pushing his hand away. He scoffed as you rubbed your eyes. “Just ask me one more time” you said smiling through your tears. Bakugou rolled his eyes chuckling at how stupid you were acting but he didn’t mind.
“I guess it’s hard to see other couples together when I had planned to come here with my ex” you explained. Bakugou didn’t even react, he already knew what you were going to say before you said it. The whole point of him taking you here was to get your mind off of him, he hadn’t realized 60% of the fair would be made of couples. He hadn’t thought much about it since the two of you looked like a couple anyways. He knew you two looked compatible but he coudn’t let you know that, his ego is too big for that.
“Who cares about him?! People make mistakes everyday and that idiot made the biggest one of his life if he didn’t choose you. Understood?” You nodded smiling and wiping the last of your tears. “I don’t even know why you’re crying, I’m right here…” Bakugou muttered under his breath.
“What was that?” You cocked an eyebrow.
“What was what?” He asked you blankly. “Don’t be stupid now, you know what you said” you replied crawling your fingers up his arms. Swatting them away he replied, “I wasn’t talking to you I was talking to myself, stop worrying about my crap and worry about yourself!” “Aww you do care about me” you said fawning over him. “Tch” Well he didn’t deny it. You looked at him his hand holding up is chin as he peered out the glass. Without thinking or regrets you laid your head on the arm closest to you. You felt Bakugou slightly jump for a moment in surprise before settling and sinking his hand in your hair.
After multiple stops the ride had finally came to an end and you and Bakugou left the ride closer than you were before. You decided to get on a couple more rides before the fair closed. This time when you walked with Bakugou you grabbed his hand. His palm was a little sweaty but you thought it was cute how nervous he was ( or maybe it was his quirk 🤔).
“The park will be closing in 20 minutes” said the voice over the loud speakers.
You and Bakugou were now looking for the nearest exit of the fair. You and Bakugou’s hands were intertwined while your other hand had a cotton candy cone , and Bakugou’s had a giant stuffed bear in his. Before you left you had decided you wanted a stuffed bear so you went to one of those booths with the balls and the bottles. Of course when you tried to do it, it failed. You didn’t know the game was rigged (the bottles were on coil springs), Bakugou however did. He didn’t care, he wanted to see you happy so he used his quirk. Unfortunately because of that the game was taken down but you were allowed to get the biggest stuffed prize there.
“Thank you Bakugou for this amazing dat- er…um night!” You said covering your mistake. Bakugou shrugged in response. He stopped for a moment in a place with very few people, and tugged you closer to him. “Bakugou are you ok?” you asked getting no response from him. He just looked straight into your eyes as you stared back. Trying not to look away he spoke, “There was one more thing I wanted to do” he said voice calm and slow.
“Another ride? Ok but I’m pretty sure we’ve been on every ride except for the roller coaster with the huge drop. You know I’m not getting in that” you chuckled. He still didn’t respond just stood there. You could tell he was thinking, you could practically see the gears moving in his head. “I-” you coudn’t even finish your sentence looking into his eyes. His ruby eyes were so hypnotizing espically when they were calm instead of narrowed. The fair began emptying out as the last person left the area you were at.
You were unaware that when you two were alone your faces were close than ever. “Bakugou-” you were interrupted by Bakugou smashing his lips against yours. The kiss was deep, hungry, and passionate. Both of you slowly following each other’s motions. Your hands found there way to the back of his hair while you twisted it in your fingers. Bakugou had to pull away before anything more could happen since you had to leave the park so soon.
“Tch whatever” he replied lips tugging into a cheesy smile. He went back for another kiss this time taking you by your jaw and kissing you once more. Without noticing the chef who had made your fries and lemonade walked by you both still devouring each other.
“I thought you two said you weren’t a couple!?”
