I had a game when i was a kid where I'd pretend to be a blue cat that explodes if you press her too hard or if she hits anything, killing everyone and destroying everything around her excdpt herself
yeah i changed my mind honestly im really starting to love the idea of Watari being the only person ever trying so hard to bring a little joy into L's life by encouraging him to do things like go to the park and idol concert and art gallery and go for a nice fresh walk. Watari says "I think you'd benefit from a pet. how about a cute rabbit ? wouldn't that be lovely ?" and L turns to him from his 1000 screens with his big wet eyes void of any emotional reaction and mumbles "yes. that would be lovely."
summary ~ after the war, bakugo is forced to wear a heart monitor. Is it a coincidence that his heart rate always spikes when he's around you?
fluff, fem!reader, bakugo is lowkey a simp, pining!bakugo, post war, no smut, pure fluff, his friends tease him about his crush on you
warnings: none, fluff
---
after the war, doctors closely monitor his heart beat in and out of the hospital. they had forced him to wear a heart monitor at all times, just to track if he had any abnormalties or if he was good to live without it.
usually, bakugo is great at keeping everything under wraps. but this heart monitor isnt. while talking about some of their favorite quirks of class 1A, you came up in him and his friends conversation. BEEP, BEEP, HEARTRATE ABNORMALLY HIGH !! shit. he takes deep breaths, trying to get it to stop beeping. eventually, it does.
"bakugo, are you alright?" kirishima says first, his voice laced with worry. "im fine, shitty hair. it was just..a random spike." after ensuring he's okay, they went back to a normal conversation, forgetting their original conversation of you.
another instance was before class. typically before aizawa arrives, most everyone stands with their friends and chit chats. sero, kirishima, and denki were the ones "bothering" him today. (though he didnt mind their presence). you'd arrived a little later than usual, but it didnt really matter. you walked over to bakugos desk, where his friends were surrounding. "hi everyone! bakugo, sero, kirishima, denki." you smiled and got a friendly greeting back from all but one: bakugo.
"i meant to give this back to you, kirishima. thanks for letting me borrow your notes!" you said as you handed him a notebook. "of course {name}! any ti-" BEEP! BEEP! HEART RATE ABNORMALLY HIGH! you heard from katsukis heart monitor. "katsuki? are you okay?" you put a gentle hand on his back, trying to comfort him, but the message came again. BEEP! BEEP! you took your hand back. "a-ah..sorry..!" he missed your hand on his back, even if he wouldnt admit that part. you seemed to be blind, but his friends looked as though they just obtained the most sacred piece of information ever. "i-i can go get a teacher, do you want me to?" "you can go try to find one in the halls, {name}. it would help out." denki said to you. "mhm..!" you turned around and headed for the door, leaving to find a teacher.
Just like magic, his heart rate slowed back down to normal. he seemed like he was blushing. his friends smirked. "what are you bastards smirking about?" he said, trying to sound annoyed, but knew he had been caught deep down. "you like {name}." sero said, acting smug. "no i dont," "yes you do, it cant just be a coincidence that it always spikes when shes around or gets brought up, can it?" "yes it can, pikachu. shut up."
soon, you came back with aizawa, who had just been on his way. "bakugo. are you alright?" "yes, sir. im fine now." he said with flushed cheeks.
--☆--
but his teasing was far from over. you think that annoying people such as his friends would leave THE katsuki bakugos cute little school girl crush alone? absolutely not.
"whens the wedding?"
"am i invited to your wedding?"
"how many kids?"
"aw how cute hes getting all red"
"careful with that heart rate bakugo"
"calm down guys he might go into cardiac arrest."
"oohh its {name} bakugo, they're comingg"(even if he knew that one was fake everytime, his posture would still straighten. that always made them laugh.)
"so seriously bakugo, when are you telling them how you feel? you cant wait forever." "when the time is right, okay?" "yeah and you said that forever ago too." he rolled his eyes. "oh look whos in the kitchen, go say hello," he said like his mother who was teasing him about the girl he liked. "fine." he finally gave in and went to say hello to you. they all collectively gasped as they leaned forward to watch. how unserious could they be?
"em...hi, {name}.." was he, katsuki bakugo, stuttering? that couldnt be right. "hi, bakugo!" you said with that bright smile of yours. "i was just grabbing a snack. whats up?" "i..*ahem*...wanted to tell you something. kind of important." "oh? whats up, bakugo?" you turned to face him, giving him your full attention. "so, {name}..i-.." he paused and took a deep breath. "youre really damn pretty and i fucking like you, okay?" you laughed, and he felt his heart drop for second before it rised up quick as ever when you kissed him on the lips, quick and sweet. "i like you too, katsuki."
