𝐀/𝐍: Yes, absolutely!! Admittedly, I’m not too good at angst stuff but I’m gonna do my best!! I also added Shinsou because I love him and in my imagination, he’s in the bakusquad against his nonchalant will.
𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐠𝐨
- slowly losing his ability to hear clearly after years of neglecting how loud his explosions actually are. realized it one day in class when his ears started ringing during aizawa’s lecture, he just had to sit there internally panicking
- feels like the biggest jerk after he and his mom fight. like he would never outwardly say it but he has cried alone a few times after in his room because at the end of the day, he loves his mom.
- definitely developed claustrophobia from the sludge incident
- sometimes he’ll wake up tangled in his sheets at night and immediately panic because of the sludge villain incident. kirishima, his dorm neighbor, heard it one night and asked him if he was okay the next morning. he told him to “fuck off” on instinct but really wishes he would’ve just let it all out.
- always has his guard up, preemptively planning how to tell someone to “fuck off” because he honestly hates social interaction
- the sad truth is that when he got older and maybe had a soft spoken kid, that poor kid got relentlessly bullied and despite being this explosive dad, he internally felt so painstakingly guilty because this was the universe getting back at him for bullying Midoryia for so long.
𝐊𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐦𝐚
- adopted this sense of “manliness” because he didn’t grow up with a father figure in the home. it was just his mom trying to figure it out on her own.
- constantly feeling like he’s gonna be left behind all of his classmates. he feels like his quirk is dead weight and nothing useful.
- him dying his hair red was the equivalent of some girls cutting their own bangs at 3am in the midst of a mental breakdown. yeah, he had a mental breakdown and on impulse dyed his hair red so that he could stand out in a crowd
- struggles with actual diagnosed depression that gets worse between november - february. like in middle school he felt that this was the end, that there was no way out. the only thing that kept him around and going was his mom.
- struggled with body image after gaining a bit of weight during his internship with fatgum
𝐃𝐞𝐧𝐤𝐢
- always makes it his goal to be the most approachable one in the room because he knows what it’s like to not have anyone to approach.
- constantly in an ongoing battle with himself to not forget anything. this leading him to forget his adderall almost every morning and struggling throughout the day.
- i feel like he is mentally abused and manipulated by his parents. like it’s a constant ongoing struggle where he can never please them.
- a regular disassociater. it most often happens when he’s trying to be productive with schoolwork in his dorm room.
- he can’t control the way he acts when he fries his brain after overusing his quirk, but he remembers everything. The way people laughed, the way everyone made fun of him and nobody stepped in to help when he needed it
𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐚
- 100% deals with anxiety. like yes, she’s the first person to jump in and save a situation, but the whole time she’s ready to collapse, heart pounding, sweating uncontrollably
- deals with a calorie obsession. is unhealthily obsessed with how many calories she’s consuming a day or how much sugar is in something because that’s what she’s learned from the internet as a teen girl
- always has this internal fear of “was I too loud? was i too much?” she’s so outgoing and sweet but when she’s alone with her thoughts they race.
- accidentally ruins perfectly good situations for herself. if someone likes her and she likes them back, she doesn’t know why but she will immediately friendzone them after months of pining. she gets nervous but can’t explain why her mind decides to shut them out.
- she is terrified to simply exist as a woman. she is the loudest and proudest feminist in a room but still doesn’t understand why her rights aren’t just given and her life isn’t taken seriously like her male friends. she is ready but so deeply afraid for the rough journey ahead of being scrutinized and misunderstood in the hero industry while her male friends will get to breeze by like it’s nothing. it’s simply unfair.
𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐨
- he is the second oldest of 4 kids. meaning that he’s part of the older half, the half that’s supposed to be “responsible” while his two younger siblings get treated in ways that he and his older brother never got treated. it kinda hurts..
- he was a gifted kid who burnt out. it may seem like he’s not smart when it comes to his studies, but he is. he’s just so tired of trying.
- he wanted to become a hero like spider man. his brother who is 6 years older than him showed him the movies for the first time when Sero was 9. his brother is his best friend. but unfortunately he moved out for college when Sero was 12, and he doesn’t see him that often anymore while he’s out living his life. sero misses his brother.
- is so sick of being seen as comic relief in his friend group. like he would never say that outwardly because he loves all of his friends but he wants to be taken seriously so badly and is mad at himself for not expressing that from the beginning
- is unfortunately seen as the mediator between his parents and siblings. like he goes out of his way to keep the house running smooth with no issues. his younger siblings are a pain in the ass, and his parents are emotionally unstable and unavailable, he’s just trying to hold it all together
𝐒𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐨𝐮
- his dad is a neurologist and a psychiatrist meaning that shinsou tries to show little emotion out of fear that his father is analyzing him. his father isn’t, but that’s just the way shinsou feels especially after his dad made him start seeing a therapist for his diagnosed anxiety disorder. his father means well though.
- his mother is a photographer, always trying to take pictures of him because she loves him. he hates the pictures, he thinks he looks ugly, he can’t see the beauty in himself. he just asks her not to post them.
- suffers from caffeine withdrawal due to late nights of training and studying to not fall behind in the hero course. he has gotten so used to running off of energy drinks and espresso that if he doesn’t have one by noon, he’s extremely irritated and jittery
- he had to be homeschooled as a young kid because of his quirk. he was accidentally brainwashing the other kids without even realizing, leading all of the parents afraid of their children being around him
- constantly suffering from migraines and eye twitching, leading to sleepless nights which in turn lead to insomnia issues. he barely gets any sleep anymore and is constantly running on spite and caffeine. he doesn’t want to tell his dad, his dad is so clinical about all of that without realizing shinsou just wants to be held by him and told “it’s going to be okay”
tags : Bakugou/Denki x f!reader (separately) college au, fluff n angst, hurt/comfort, smau with some written parts, bakugou is bad at feelings and a lil toxic, two endings, denki has more character depth, baku squad as student council
a.n : bit of a filler episode already ik im sorry but it is very much needed 😔
<- previous part next part ->
you reached the admin building a few minutes early and leaned against the wall, aimlessly scrolling through your phone. your mind was already spiraling. what if the walk was awkward? what were you even supposed to say? you didn’t know anything about him—he didn’t know anything about you. maybe it’d be a chance to get to know each other… maybe it’d be a chance to get to know each other or maybe it’s a total flop and-
you looked up, startled, as denki practically bounced over to you, grinning like you’d been friends for years. he waved, then came to a stop right in front of you—way too close for a first time interaction.
“uh—yeah?” you blinked. “how’d you recognize me?”
“oh,” he said, scratching the back of his head like he’d just been caught. “you just… look like someone who’d be named y/n.”
“names have vibes now?” you raised a brow, pushing off the wall to catch up as he started walking, completely unfazed.
“they totally do,” he said without missing a beat. “i like to match names to faces when i get bored in class. makes lectures more fun.”
you gave a short laugh, half surprised at how naturally the conversation was going. he didn’t seem the type to let silence settle for long. he was bright—like, human-sunbeam bright. the kind of person who strikes up conversations with strangers in line at the convenience store.
you, on the other hand, were still a little stiff. being around people who all already knew each other made your chest feel a bit tight. but denki made things feel lighter. easier.
and if the rest of the group was anything like him, maybe this day wouldn’t be so bad after all.
“there’s probably a student here who does music, maybe we could ask them instead of just playing songs off the speakers?” you suggested, glancing over at mina.
the meeting had been going on for a couple of hours now. it wasn’t exactly productive—felt more like a casual hangout than anything official—but you didn’t really mind.
what surprised you the most was how quickly you’d settled in. mina was sitting cross-legged on the couch next to sero, who was mostly scrolling through his phone. kirishima was leaned back against the armrest, and you and denki were both comfortably settled on the carpet, the table sitting infront of you.
you gave them a quick wave before slipping inside and letting the door close behind you. you hadn’t even taken a full step when it swung open again.
“wait—!” denki jogged up beside you, adjusting the strap of his beat-up messenger bag as he caught up.
“mind if i walk you to your dorm? we’re in the same building, so…” his voice trailed off as his eyes searched your face, checking for any sign that you weren’t okay with it.
you shook your head right away, offering a small smile. that was all he needed—his expression relaxed instantly, and he returned the smile, just a little brighter.
the walk to your dorm was pretty quiet, perhaps it was the warm summer night that made it feel light, or maybe it was his airy presence. either way you found yourself enjoying the atmosphere. there wasn’t much said, but it didn’t feel awkward—just… easy. comfortable in a way you hadn’t expected from someone you barely knew. the kind of silence that felt chosen, not forced. every so often, your arms would brush, and neither of you pulled away. it wasn’t loud, it wasn’t dramatic, but something about it felt… right.
you kept sneaking glances at him, trying to figure him out, wondering if he felt it too—that calm stillness that somehow made your chest feel full. maybe it was the way his hands stayed tucked into his pockets, shoulders just slightly slouched, like he didn’t want to seem too eager. or maybe it was how he looked up at the sky once and smiled at something probably only he understood.
when the building came into view, you slowed your steps without meaning to. the familiar steps reminding you that the day was over. and suddenly, you didn’t really want it to. not yet. there was something about walking next to him that made everything feel a little softer. a little lighter. you paused at the top of the steps, fingers brushing the strap of your bag, heart hesitating where your feet stopped. you didn’t know what you wanted him to say—but part of you wished he’d say something just to keep you standing there a little longer.
he rocked back on his heels a little, eyes flicking from you to the ground and back again. he didn’t look like he was in a rush to leave either, but neither of you moved. the silence stretched, not heavy, just uncertain. he scratched the back of his neck, that familiar nervous gesture you’d seen earlier in the evening, and let out a soft breath that could’ve been a laugh.
“well… guess that’s your place,” he said, voice low, almost careful, like he didn’t want to break the calm either. you nodded, lips pulling into a small smile. “yup it is.” there was something different in him now—something quieter. he wasn’t as loud, not as bright. the spark was still there, but dimmed just a little, like he was treading more carefully. you wondered if he felt the shift too. the soft change in energy. like somewhere between the noise of earlier and the stillness of now, the air between you had taken on a weight it didn’t have before.
maybe he was unsure what to do with it. maybe you were, too.
you didn’t know what you were waiting for—an excuse to linger, a reason to drag this moment out. maybe he was thinking the same thing, because he didn’t step away. just stood there, close enough that you almost felt his warmth.
“thanks for walking me,” you added, softer this time. not because it needed to be whispered, but because anything louder might’ve shattered the quiet.
he looked at you then, really looked, and there was something almost thoughtful in his eyes. “anytime,” he said, and you wondered if he meant it the way it sounded—like he actually would. like this wasn’t just him being nice.
you gave a small nod, turned halfway toward the door, then paused again. “goodnight, denki.”
“night,” he said, and waited until you were inside before turning to leave.
and even with the door closed behind you, you swore you could still feel that shift lingering—subtle, but there. like something had settled between you, and neither of you quite knew what to call it yet, something so quiet and small that you couldn’t even figure out what it was.
-> comment on the masterlist to be added to the taglist !
you said “i’ll be alright”
i knew by the look in your eyes
but anytime you want to know i’ll be the one
racing to your door even against the odds
ᯓ★ in which you can’t ever seem to find a good date and denki always shows up to save the day…
-> kinda angsty, unrequited (?) love, ending up to interpretation, denki calls you “missy” once (no pronouns used)
dividers by @/saradika-graphics — i never have any trouble writing denki but when it’s angst??? he’s running away from me. i might possibly hate this but i needed to get it out of my system sooooo :)
A/n: I apologize that it took me so long to finish this, I just started college and I decided to do 8 am classes (sobbing). But I still hope you enjoy this work :D. Reblogs, likes and such are appreciated and I love to see your comments btw, y'all funny asf! Thank you for being patient and without further ado, here we go :D!!!
Kaminari DENKI -
You had disappeared from the campus after Midoriya left. You haven't bothered to call or text him at all, he had no idea if you were alive or dead. Even when Midoriya was back, you didn't return. He was beginning to lose hope and everyone could see how it was effecting him.
When they had to fight the LOV, he noticed a masked figure slipping through the shadows. Flashes of navy and aqua could be made out from the outfit. A large hero was chasing after them but as they approached the water, several spears of water pierced through their body. Something inside of him told him to follow the figure, so he did.
When he was stopped behind them, they let out a gasp and started to run through the woods. He gave chase and almost grabbed them. As he picked himself off of the ground, you peeled the helmet off and looked at him. The way he looked at you was full of shock, betrayal, fear and even love.
"Y/n?"
You could see the tears building in his eyes, it hurt. But only for a while. You simply nod your head and walk back to find a stream. He follows behind you like a puppy, a lovesick little puppy. You wish he wouldn't, you wish he would just move on from you. You had already thought he did.
"Why are you following me Denki?" You don't even have to peek to know he's there.
"'Cause I have many questions and I know you have the answers."
You just sigh and lean against a nearby tree. You look at him and wait for his mouth to move.
"Why are you working for them?"
"I was tired of trying to be something I'm not."
"So you wanted to be a murderer and murder your classmates and teachers?!"
"If I say yes, will it change your view on me?"
His pupils pan down to his hands before finding you again. He shakes his head. You couldn't help the small chuckle that escaped from you.
"You're just as sick as me. Yes, the answer is yes."
His eyes are now filled with just fear and trying to look for a way to escape from you. You smirked and sighed.
"What's wrong? You don't love me anymore?" The water behind you starts to form into a katana. Your hand finds it and grips it tightly.
"I don't think I can." He starts to back away from you before his back hits a tree. He can't even move, he just keeps his eyes on you as you approach.
"Was it even love?"
Electricity goes through his fingertips and he fires a couple of volts at you. You wrap yourself in water and click your tongue.
"Don't worry, I'll make your death painful and slow."
With a snap of your fingers, a water dome surrounds Denki. He tries to use his electricity but it just shocks him, repeatedly.
"You're going to kill yourself if you keep doing that."
From a distance you see Jiro approaching on Tokoyami, her ear is bleeding.
"Oh, Jiro is here to save you, how nice. Bye-bye for now."
Using the built-up electricity from Denki, you dash as quick as lightning back to the battlefield. Denki is released from the dome on the ground panting. Jiro and Tokoyami helped him up and lead him to a safer spot in the woods.
"Hey, hey. Are you okay? Who was that?"
"Y/n."

Midoriya IZUKU -
You were very eager to join the fight with Midoriya against Shigaraki. It was thrilling to you and you lived for the adventure and adrenaline. You pecked him on lips and walked to your dorm to room to prepare for the fight.
The day of the fight came and you felt prepared enough. You both knew the risks but still wanted to save the world from Shigaraki's grasp. Then you were taken off guard. You were fighting with all your might until you got pinned down by Shigaraki. Then Bakugo got hurt. All he could do was watch in anguish. He couldn't get to you both and his friend stopped breathing because of it.
Shigaraki let you up and you smiled at him. Midoriya looked confused and hurt. Mirio was checking in on Bakugo with Edgeshot and Best Jeanist.
"You know what to do. Stick to the plan."
"You know I always do, All For One. I always do."
You peel off your cape and sprint towards Bakugo, using the built-in skates at the bottom of your feet to increase your speed. With a graceful jump, you're in the air. With one leg pointed, you start to come down with speed right over top of Bakugo. Before you can even get close enough, Midoriya's whip grabs you by the leg and pulls you away. You hum and look over at him.
The poor boy is hurt by your actions. He pulls you in, tying the whip tight around you, preventing your movements.
"Why are you doing this? This isn't you Y/n."
You couldn't help the scoff that spilled off your wicked tongue.
"You don't know me, you left me! You left me alone in my fucking dorm!"
"You know why I had to leave."
You let your head droop. His eyes noticed the tears falling from your eyes.
"You're so fucking selfish." You say barely above a whisper.
"Y/n..."
You feel the grip of the Black Whip start to loosen and you smirk before using your quirk to slow time for everyone else. You practically teleport away from him, now at the edge of the battlefield. Your eyes were wet with teary remains as you stared at Izuku then you drifted over to Shigaraki. A simple nod was all you needed to jump off the Coffin in the Sky.

Keigo TAKAMI (HAWKS) -
While he was flying around the battlefield, he spotted you on the roof. It appeared that a villain was sneaking up behind you.
"Y/n!"
He sped up his flight towards you with his weapons at the ready. When you looked over and saw him, you put your palm upward and blew cold air in his direction, obscuring his vision. He's confused and uses his wings to clear the mist, you're gone. The villain is gone too. His eyes widen and look up to see you coming down on him hard.
Your heel presses against his throat as you both crash land on the building.
"What the hell, Y/n." He coughs.
Your hands clasp together causing them to be sharpen with cold, hard ice. You sprint forward for a swift attack which he blocks with his feathers and rolls away. You suck your teeth and remove the ice from your hands. You replace it with a dual-bladed staff, spinning it in your hands skillfully.
"Do you seriously want to do this?"
"No, I don't want to fight you. I just have questions."
"I'm on a mission Hawks, I don't have the time for questions."
His eyebrows perk up at that. "Hawks?"
"You heard me, I know you did."
"I- Look what you're doing is wrong-"
"I know what I'm fucking doing Hawks! Leave me the fuck alone, I'm actually trying to focus on my mission."
"Y/n, please." He grabs your shoulders and shakes you lightly.
You push him away and blow cold mist at him before disappearing again when the air clears. He looks off the side of the building, watching you move swiftly towards the main building. As he looks at his weapon, he knows what he needs to do. He needs to stop every villain in there, including you.

Katsuki BAKUGO -
"Oh my gosh..."
Your voice trailed off into a body-shaking sob when you saw him lying there, dead on the ground. You run to his side immediately and cradle his body to yours, not caring if the blood stained your clothing. Best Jeanist and Mirio were shocked but they didn't interrupt the moment you were having. Midoriya even looked over at you and said your name in a whisper.
"Y/n?"
Tomura watched you with a blank expression on his face and then he proceeded to walk towards you. Midoriya was trying to stop him but his tendrils were protecting him.
"Come on now, Y/n. Stick to the plan."
"This wasn't part of the fucking plan! You said you wouldn't hurt him!"
"What plan, Y/n?!" Midoriya yelled at you over yonder.
"I made a deal with Shigaraki and All For One. I did it for him, so we could be happy and peaceful!"
You eyed Shigaraki with disgust and betrayal before moving away from your boyfriend's body. You peeled your jacket off and threw it to the ground, keeping your eyes on Shigaraki.
"Come on! Fight me!"
"She doesn't have a quirk..." Midoriya whispered to himself.
"Do you think I give a damn?! Huh?! Fucking fight me Shigaraki!"
"Stupid quirkless brat."
You were just running and distracting Shigaraki while the heroes helped Bakugo get back on his feet. You went to jump over one of his tendrils but got grabbed and plunged to the ground. When you picked your head up off the ground, you could see him, he was looking at you. He whispered your name. You couldn't help the tears flowing from your eyes.
"He's okay, that's wonderful."
You smile into the grass, blood staining multiple blades of greenery. You felt your breath get held in your throat as you were being lifted. You were face-to-face with Shigaraki before he looked over at Bakugo and then turned you in his hand in show you to your boyfriend. His mouth was moving slow, he was saying your name. You smiled at him before being thrown to the ground again.
You looked up at him and saw the heroes holding him back, saying he had to rest. Your vision was becoming blurry but you wanted to be near him. You started to crawl towards him, slow but you knew what you wanted. You wanted him, you wanted to be near him just one more time.
Shigaraki is making direct eye contact with Bakugo, now realizing that was his loved one. He smirks before raising a tendril high into the air. A small no could be heard escaping his throat. A slightly louder call of your name could be heard if you were just a little closer. The tendril smushes you harshly once, twice, then three times turning you into a bloody mush of the human you once were.
'Bastard' was the only thing said before he watched Midoriya fight him, watching his movements and remembering everything. He stood up and decided to join the battle again, even if it killed him.

A/n: some of these took longer and some of these were bad, I was rushing to get it done so I didn't keep y'all waiting. I'm sorry but I felt the need to, I still hope you enjoy this angsty ass story thing and thank you for doing the poll. Love y'all and have a great day/afternoon/night. :D
