𓂃 ོ☼𓂃THE FIJI HUMIDITY hits you all at once and your skin is already slightly sticky from the hot air. You had entered the villa a few days ago during a challenge, and since then you have been getting to know the islanders.
That was the name of the game, isn't it?
To form connections, and choose the strongest one.
Over the course of your time in the villa, you and Katsuki has been practically eyeing each other since the moment you entered. He was so eye-drawing, how could you not?
You pulled him for chats here and there, he made you feel good, feel seen. He made you laugh, he made you smile. The tension between you two was so thick in the air that anyone and everyone could see it. Everyone but either of you.
Now, you were in the makeup room with all the other girls doing your makeup for the day.
"Sooo y/n, who do you wanna pull first?" Uraraka had turned to you, a playful smile growing on her face. Your face slightly flushed, there wasn't really a set plan in your head, you really were just kind of going with the flow.
"Uh, I'm actually not sure yet," you laughed, glancing at your reflection in the mirror, "I think I'll just pull random people throughout the day, see how it goes." you puffed your bottom lip slightly, your fingers rubbing the primer into your skin.
"Honestly, that sounds like the best way to start," she shrugged while she continued on with her own makeup routine, "never know what connections might form, y'know?"
You hummed in agreement, the corners of your lips curling into a small smile. Your hands fumbled in your makeup bag, pulling out a tube of foundation and concealer.
"Wait, so like who do you think is the most attractive?" Mina chirped in, a big smile growing on her face, her eyes glinting up as she chuckled to herself.
Your face flushed briefly, "Most attractive? I mean they're all attractive in their own ways." you replied as you blended in your concealer, "but like I mean maybe Katsuki? He kinda fits my type a bit more."
A wave of ooh's and hums echoed throughout the makeup room, you shook your hands as they shrieked and giggled. "I can totally see him being your type!" Momo pressed her hands together.
"Really? I didn't think it was that obvious." you laughed.
"Girl, is the sky blue? It's sooo obvious." Mina replied sarcastically.
You could admit, maybe your eyes lingered on him for a bit longer. But you didn't think it was that obvious. To be fair, he was one of the two you guys you consistently pulled for chats.
The makeup room was now filled with chatter about plans for the day, but shortly died down as the guys came in with breakfast in their hands and placing them in front of their corresponding couple.
Your head perked up as a particular ash blonde walked into the room looking directly at you. A small smile on his lips as he carried the plate to your area, placing it in front of you.
"Wanted to be the first one to give you breakfast," he spoke lowly as you smiled, opting to hug him instead of a kiss despite how badly you wanted to.
"You're so sweet, Katsuki. Thank you." you thanked him, pulling away from the hug. His cheeks were slightly tinted with a rosy pink.
"You're welcome," he hummed, trying not to let the color rise in his face. "keep doin' yer makeup, wanna see that pretty face soon." he murmured low enough in your ear to where only you could hear him.
You hummed in response, watching as he left the makeup room. Your smile growing rapidly as the girls gawked and giggled. You grabbed your setting spray, lifting the cap and misting it all over your face.
You hopped out of the barstool, walking over to your suitcase and grabbing a yellow gingham bikini top with matching shorts, and chunky sandals Once dressed, you grabbed your brush and ran it through your hair before placing it up in a claw clip.
"So dolled up for just a few chats huh?" Mina teased, adjusting the top to her own swimwear.
"Gotta make a good first impression." you smiled as you grabbed your water bottle and breakfast, walking downstairs to the villa. You walked over to the kitchen island where everyone was congregating.
"First morning in the villa, whaddya think?" Kirishima turned to you as you took a bite of your breakfast. Quickly swallowing, you smile.
"It's nice here, look forward to getting to know everyone." you replied, adjusting the strap to your bathing suit. You glanced over to Katsuki, who is already staring in your direction but turns away the moment you look at him.
"Yeah? Well I'm sure anyone here would be excited to get to know you more." Denki butted in, receiving a big glare from Katsuki from across the kitchen and immediately turning back to whatever he was doing before.
The dynamic of the villa was very welcoming, everyone seemed genuinely interested in getting to know more about you. You'd think that everyone would be hesitant considering the circumstances, but it was quite the opposite. The girls were so sweet and the guys knew how to make you laugh.
You finished up your breakfast, placing your plate into the sink. Cracking your knuckles and mentally hyping yourself up, you finally walk up to Katsuki, a warm smile on your face.
"Hey, can I pull you for a chat?" you asked, he immediately perked up in his seat.
"Me? Yeah. Yeah, let's go." he practically jumped at the opportunity, taking your hand in his and walking over to the daybed. He settled on the opposite side of you, a pillow in his lap where his hands rested. You tucked your hair behind your ear, turning your head towards him.
"So, I'm the first one you pull today? Lucky me." he chuckled while propping his head up on his right hand, his crimson eyes boring into yours.
"Had to start the day off with a bang." you laughed, trying to retain the smile growing on your face by biting your lip but ultimately failing.
"Yeah? Wanna get to know you better too." he leaned back, his eyes softening with each second he looked at you. He just knew how to flatter you without even trying.
“What do you wanna know?” you leaned in, your eyes meeting up with his own.
“Anythin’, just wanna hear you talk a bit more.” He smiled lazily, running his fingers through his hair briefly.
“Well, I mean I like painting and baking.” you responded sweetly, his smile just making you slightly giddy.
“Painting? You any good at it?”
“I dabble in it, not sure I’m the best at it though.” you snorted as you looked out towards the villa, the slight breeze wafting on your face; Your hair moving along with the wind.
“I bet you’re great at it, you gonna paint me anything anytime soon?”
“Hmm, I dunno. Maybe.” you let out a laugh before taking a sip from your water bottle. “What about you?
“Ehh, I’m boring. Just be workin’ and shit.” he shrugged, his free hand reaching to the back of his neck. His eyes were focused on the villa in front of you two. His body slowly relaxing into the daybed.
"That's not boring, love a man who works." you tilted your head to get a better look at his already gorgeous face. It was genuinely so disgusting to have a man so beautiful in your presence. "Where are you from?"
"Japan, but I've been livin' here for a couple years." he sighed,
God damn it, and he's foreign? You just can't stop winning!
You might of well had just gotten married right then and there, can this man genuinely be anymore attractive?
"You're from Japan?" you raised your eyebrows, trying to play off the fact you could literally jump this man's bones. "I've always wanted to go there, it seems nice."
"Yeah, born and raised." he turned his gaze back to you, "you'd probably like it."
You smiled, subconsciously scooting closer to him. "Can you teach me something in Japanese?"
"Like what?" he tsked, sprawling further out onto the cushion.
"I dunno, something cute." you shrugged,
He pondered for a minute, his lips pursing for a moment before he parted them again. "とてもおきれいですね。" his lips curled into a toothy smile, his hand now resting on your leg and rubbing small shapes onto your skin.
"You are very pretty." his eyes glistened as he looked up at you. A rosy tint grew on your face as you threw a pillow at him.
"You're too good at this," you rolled your eyes playfully, "Gotta give the other boys a fair chance."
He leaned back, a childish pout that quickly turned into a small grin. "S'not my fault i'm so charming." he pulled himself up, his height practically looming over you now. "Can I at least get a hug before you ditch me?"
"Pfft, I'm not ditching you, I still have to give the other guys a fair chance." you snorted before you pulled him in for a quick hug.
"Feels like it." he sighed into your shoulder before pulling away, you leaned up and booped him on the nose jokingly before walking away.
You smiled to yourself as you walked away, adjusting the microphone hanging on your collarbone. Struggling to compose yourself as you're practically bubbling with energy as you walk over to main lounge where most of the girls were seated.
The conversations were so easy, they just flowed so naturally. He always knew what to say, he knew when to listen. Very few guys made you feel this way.
"So? How'd your chat go? Spill!" Mina jumped up once she saw you approaching, her eyes beaming with excitement.
You plopped onto the couch besides her and Ochako. "It went good, like the conversation just was really easy," you paused, adjusting your hair slightly. "He's really sweet."
"Sweet and Bakugo in the same sentence? Pfft, what'd you do to him?" she snorted, pulling her sunglasses over her eyes.
"That's kinda hard to believe." Jirou she raised an eyebrow, leaning over in the slightest to where the boys were working out.
'"Guys, you have to give him the benefit of the doubt, maybe he's genuinely sweet." Uraraka chirped in with a compassionate tone. You wished people got the same side of him that you just saw. Despite all his rough edges, he still had a softness buried beneath.
You just smiled sweetly, confused from all the thoughts running wild in your head.
You're in your confessional with your head in your hands. "I don't know what to do.. I really like him but like It's so early and he was legit my first chat." you groaned, throwing your head back. "This shit is so fucking confusing."
The rest of the afternoon went well, your chats with the other islanders went well and you felt like you were in a more comfortable position in the villa. Though during every chat you had, Katsuki kept lingering in the back of your mind regardless on how hard you tried to fight it.
Now, you were sat in the makeup room, getting ready for the evening events. You changed into a brown polkadot dress and kitten heels, adjusting the fabric so it would fit in all the right places.
It was like subconsciously you wanted to look good for him.
All your actions were for him, it was getting ridiculous.
The girls finished getting ready and were now walking downstairs, the guys showering compliments as each girl stepped down the staircase.
Waiting by the end of the stairs stood Katsuki, watching patiently as you walked down with an open hand. "You look great." he complimented, his eyes lingered over your dress with his hand in yours.
"Thank you, you look handsome yourself." you smiled, walking towards the center of the villa where everyone was gathered around the table. He watched carefully as you spoke with the other islanders, a drink in your hand.
He leaned down next to your ear, "Wanna go to the dock?" he whispered quietly in your ear which was low enough for only you to hear.
"Dock? Yeah, we can go." you nodded as you stood up, walking with him over to the dock. He sat down next to you, his back facing the moon and the dark water.
“How were your other chats today?” he asked, his eyes glinting up to yours a few times.
"They went good, how were yours?" you leaned into him slightly, your body relaxing onto his. This felt comforting, safe, reassuring. He didn't push, he just listened.
"Ehh, just kept finding reasons why I wanted to talk to you more." he chuckled, his hand now resting on your hip, his thumb caressing small shapes onto the fabric of your dress.
You stood up, straightening your back as you pushed a few strands of his crazy hair out of his face. "I really like you, Katsuki."
"What?" he raised an eyebrow, shaking his head as if he was trying to make sure he wasn't dreaming. He sure as hell felt like was.
"I really like you." you repeated, his eyes widening once the words finally hit him. "I like this. I like what we have." your fingers caressed over his callused palm, rubbing shapes onto his scarred, rough, skin.
He stayed quiet, just listening carefully. His gaze switching from your eyes to your plump lips. He just admired you quietly and the silence alone was eating you alive.
He inhaled before pursing his lips, leaning his head back as his arm rested on the dock behind you. He finally locked eyes with you once more, "Can I kiss you?"
And before the words can even finish leaving his mouth, you're pulling his mouth onto yours, your lips crashing onto each others. It was slow, and less rushed. Unlike the few other kisses you have shared during challenges.
No, this one was different. It was like all the tension between you two had snapped, and this was the aftermath.
His mouth burned into yours, his hand now loosely resting on your waist. You hummed contently, knowing you could savor this moment till forever.
Your lips moved passionately against each other. Your hand sliding up his neck and entangling your fingers into his hair. His hand rested on the small of your back, softly caressing your hips.
You both slowly pulled away from each other, a toothy grin growing on his flushed face. "I could do that a hundred times and never get sick of it." he grinned.
You smiled before pressing one more small peck to his lips, wrapping your arms around his neck and brushing the hair out of his face. The two of you converse for a little longer before you finally get up.
You two are now walking back from the dock, his arm wrapped loosely around your waist, pulling you closer to him. The other islanders being too engrossed in their own conversations to notice the glow on both of your faces.
You both part ways, fixing the bottom of your dress as you walk to the kitchen where most islanders were gathered. "You look happy." Mina clocked the faint smile on your face.
"Do I actually?" your grin expands slightly as you start leaning against the countertop.
"You're practically glowing." Uraraka chirped in, taking a bite of her apple that was in her hand.
"Oh my god, you are!" Mina shrieked, grabbing both yours and Uraraka's hands to a more secluded part of the villa. "Wait, cause I need to hear all about this."
You three sat down on the cushion with you in the middle as they looked at you contently. "So? What's got you smiling so hard? Mina leaned in.
"We kissed." you blurted out, covering your face with the closest pillow in your reach.
"With who?! Wait when?!" Uraraka looked at you stunned.
"Katsuki, on the dock." you peeked from the pillow as they both shrieked in excitement. Mina practically jumping out of her seat.
"Stopp, was it good at least?" her hand clamped onto her mouth.
"It was amazing, like the chemistry was there." you pressed your hands to your forehead, the corners of your lips curling upwards. "It's so weird cause I really like him but it's like I just got here." you groaned.
"No like I get it, you just got here so obviously you wanna explore." Uraraka shook her head in agreement with Mina.
"Yeah, it's still early on so I don't blame you." Uraraka chimed in.
"The spark is there, I'm just so bad at these things and I don't wanna mess it up.." you sighed, groaning into the pillow in your hands.
'I'm sure you'll be fine, he clearly likes you for you." Their reassurance definitely comforted you, but you still felt like you were in over your head.
It was so refreshing to have someone so genuine like him. He made you feel good, he listened to every little word you said, he was perfect.
And that's what scared you.
He was too perfect for you.
The high from your moment at the dock has now faded. And your mind is just exhausted from all the traffic that is happening in your head.
You sit upstairs in the makeup room, wiping off your makeup and getting ready for bed. You rubbed your eyelids tiredly, ready to just decompress from today's events.
You changed out of your evening clothes and into your pajamas. You stand up to go to the bathroom and wash your face as if that would cleanse you of all the doubts that are practically eating you from the inside out.
You stare at yourself in the mirror with your toothbrush in hand, mindlessly brushing your teeth, it was embarrassing how just the smallest things were getting to you. Yet just thinking about him could get you so giddy.
Eventually you just brush it off in hopes tomorrow you’d feel better. You ran your fingers through your hair as you walked to the communal bedroom, noticing that Katsuki was already in his bed alone. And he instantly noticed you too and patted the empty spot beside him.
You smiled and crawled next to him, your head resting on his chest as his arm slid to your back. “You’re always s’warm. I’m jealous.” you murmured into his chest, his heartbeat now beating faster as you spoke.
“Yeah? S’fine, i’ll just keep you warm.” he replied as he pressed a small peck to the top of your head.
Clearly you were being greedy cause that wasn’t enough for you. You picked your head up and placed several gentle kisses. Giggling to yourself as you got up from his bed and walking to your own across the room.
This was going to be a good summer.
