ix. cause of death: katsuki bakugo
GAME ON GEMG! bakugo katsuki
synopsis you love streamer dynamight. you do not love student katsuki bakugo. there may or may not be a difference between the two.
it’s not like you were expecting much, or anything at all to be quite honest. with knowing the four boys, you were expecting something a little less furnished and a little less… beautiful? but the apartment you were let into was refreshing. the first thing you notice was well-maintained plants on the windowsills, hanging from the ceiling, even outlining bookshelves that were full of world-renowned novels and various records. fairy lights and sunset lamps illuminate the roof and walls, providing the perfect mellow atmosphere for the rest of the room. the couch, which denki, hanta, and eijiro were sitting on, seemed soft and clean, blankets draping themselves and the rest of the pillows. they were so focused on the smash bros on the screen that they didn’t notice katsuki letting you in, but you were so awestruck that it hadn’t bothered you.
it seemed to bother katsuki though, letting out a sharp “oi” that grabs all of their attention at once. “it’s y/n, say hi.” this in turn prompts the three of them to get up to greet you, giving you a dap up and a side hug.
“hi y/n, so nice to see you!” denki takes a look around the apartment before redirecting his gaze on to you, “do you like our apartment? it took forever for us to plan everything, but in my ahem humble opinion, i think it looks magnificent!”
you let out a small laugh, “did you just say ahem aloud,” getting a nod from the blonde, “but yeah it looks amazing. i wasn’t expecting you guys to have such a,” you gesture around yourself, “well-furnished place. most college students i know can’t afford to decorate like this. fuck, i definitely couldn’t afford decor like this.”
katsuki lets out a sound of disapproval, “well we aren’t lame like other fuckers.”
hanta and eijiro flick their heads in his direction, wondering where the hell the gall came from to both insult fellow college students and you. they go to apologize for his behavior, but before they could let out a sound, they see you just cover your mouth to stifle your laughter before you can’t hold it and just let it out. you lightly push on his shoulder (though he doesn’t move), before dismissing his comment altogether, “whatever, you know i’m way cooler than you’ll ever be.”
this time it’s denki who reacts, widening his eyes, waiting for the ticking time bomb that katsuki is about to explode onto you in the form of a torrent of insults, but katsuki just smirks and rolls his eyes, before responding to you, “keep fucking dreaming baby.”
even though you aren’t the biggest fan of katsuki, being able to banter with the guy is something you admire, so you continue back and forth with him, trading insults (while he slips in pet names for you…?) and small jabs at one another.
the three boys watch you two dumbfounded, wondering who the man that claims to be katsuki is before turning to each other and creating a mental connection:
wow, they’re perfect for each other.
“you know,” you start, grabbing katsuki’s attention from the macbook screen that is playing a walkthrough of chongqing, china, “you aren’t as bad as i thought you were.” you put a hand in front of his face before he could say anything, “still pretty fucking awful though.”
katsuki just scoffs, rolling onto his back to stare at the ceiling, “and here i was thinkin’ i was doing a great job as a host,” and then he turns gaze to you, “but ya basically just told me to kill myself, fuckin’ great.” you nudge him, getting a laugh from him, “just teasin’. you aren’t as bad as the extras, definitely much cooler too.” he sighs, going back to staring at the ceiling, “just dont tell ‘em i said that, they’ll start crying on the spot.”
“can’t make that promise, katsuki. what if i get hit by a magical spell that forces me to admit everything that specifically you told me.” you hit your forehead with the back of your head and fall onto his bed dramatically, “oh the horror, what would you ever do? your friends would die of shock, and it’ll be your name as the cause of death: katsuki fucking bakugo.”
he returns the nudge with a grin, “you’re such a lil shit, you know that?” you move onto so that you’re facing the same direction as him, being able to look at him face-to-face.
he’s… honestly really attractive. the blonde hair seems to suit his facial features nicely, accentuating his crimson eyes. not only that, but his jawline is a lot more prominent now that you’re closer, and the way his body is much bigger than yours… his personality, though explosive and blunt, is still somewhat intriguing to you, and you can admit that it’s actually entertaining being able to talk to him. everything together makes you feel a flutter in your stomach, something you haven’t felt in a while.
“hey, nerd, i can practically see yer brain is processing at light-speed. what’s goin’ on in that noggin of yours?”
“nothing, it’s just nice to have a friend.”
“oh, so we’re friends now.”
and before today, you would never even think of those words.
now though, in this very moment, you answer, “yeah, we are.”
a/n: starting slow! had to do writing parts for this as well cus… yeah! and yes in my mind the boys have a great eye for interior design (plus it helps them in relationships sooooo) also pls let me know if u want to be in the taglist!!! and if i forgot anyone pls let me know as well sometimes i miss the notifs ;-;
