⚠️ WARNING: Bakugo being an asshole for 5 minutes straight, but he cute so you're gonna forgive him anyway... You need therapy, hun 🫶

The grip meter looked harmless, until I realized everyone was pulling twice their own weight.
I wrapped my fingers around it and squeezed. The metal stayed stubbornly still. 44 kilograms. The number blinked at me, almost mockingly.
Bakugo barked a laugh. “Pfft! Forty-four? You kidding me? What’s your quirk again—cuddling? You’re like a little teddy bear. Soft and useless.”
A few kids looked away, uncomfortable. Others chuckled nervously.
My tail flicked once, sharply, and I bit the inside of my cheek until the heat in my throat cooled down.
Aizawa didn’t even glance up. “Low physical output,” he muttered, writing something down. “Quirk-based augmentation likely required.”
That felt worse than the insult. Low. Like he’d already decided I wasn’t enough.

The first time Bakugo called you “teddy bear,” it was meant to hurt.
It wasn’t cute. It wasn’t affectionate. It was a jab wrapped in a laugh.
He used it to mock everything he thought made you weak: the fluffy tail the kitsune girl just couldn’t hide, the soft ears that gave away every emotion, the way your quirk didn’t make you look powerful. He saw something gentle and decided gentle meant fragile.
A teddy bear was soft. A teddy bear was harmless. A teddy bear didn’t belong on the battlefield...
But neither of you knew then that the nickname would outlive the insult. Because someday, “teddy bear” wouldn’t be something he threw at you to make you feel small. Someday, it would be the name he said when he was worried. When he was relieved. When he needed to make sure you were still there.
The same words that once made your chest ache would become something you secretly waited to hear.
And the funniest part?
Bakugo Katsuki, the person who first used “teddy bear” like a weapon, would be the one who made you believe it was never an insult at all.
