Hihi!!! I hope you’re having a good day ! I was wondering if you could please do friends to lovers texts with Bakugou and a weird, energetic reader? i really hope im doing this the right way lol and if im not im really sorry!! TvT
bite first | k. bakugo
you're the weirdest part of his routine, and lately, his favorite.
You always thought you had to be strong. That vulnerability was a weakness, that love was something to be proved instead of something to be felt. But I knew better. I saw the way you stayed, even when I pushed. I saw the way your hands curled into fists when I wavered, like you wanted to hold on but didn’t know how.
You loved me in silence. I wish I had told you it was okay to be loud about it.
But maybe, deep down, I already knew the answer. Maybe if you had said it, I wouldn’t have been able to leave."
The letter slipped from his fingers, landing soundlessly on the floor.
"You bastard," he whispered, voice raw. "You should’ve stayed. I would’ve told you. I would’ve told you every damn day."
Warning! This contains spoilers for season 8 of My Hero Academia, this is a quick oneshot of Bakugo after the war!
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
After the war, a calm has settled over the people of Japan. The victory over the villain All for One and Tomura Shigarki soothing the ramped fear of people all around the world.
It seemed everyone was happy to settle down and take a quick breather, everyone except Kastuki Bakugo that is.
He hated every single moment of being stuck in this hospital bed. Hated the smell of all the different antibiotics being pumped through his veins. Hated the sounds of all the machines strapped into him. And he especially hated feeling weak.
He hated everything one could hate at that godforsaken hospital... until he met his nurse, you.
He blamed it on the lack of blood when he felt dizzy when you smiled at him. You seemed so... genuine. Asking how he was doing, talking to him when his classmates and family members were busy that day.
He hated the way his heart fluttered when you rewrapped his head bandages, hated the way his breath would catch when you tied your hair up and concentrated on your work. Your eyes holding a steely edge of confidence in your own capabilities.
He especially hated it when you took the weekends off. You would always tell him a funny story about something that happened while you were away, and he supposed it was worth it to see your face light up as you laugh softly.
So he supposed not everything about this hospital was shitty.
Maybe it was the dimmed lights that day, or the soft warm breeze through his window that made your expression tighten up as you looked at his arm.
"You're gonna get better alright?" Your eyes were fierce as they looked into his, and he swore he had never seen someone to fierce and beautiful before in his life. He swallowed.
"Damn right doc."
He grinned, and you smiled back because Bakugo had this habit of surprising you in all kinds of ways.
Maybe that's why you stuck around to talk to him after your shift even though you were exhausted. Or why you couldn't help but smile when he complained about the shitty hospital food or the stuck up doctors.
Because you truly did like Kastuki Bakugo, even when he was wrapped from nearly head to toe in bandages. Even when he acted like a two year old sometimes.
It had been a few months since he had arrived at the hospital. He now visited U.A at least three times a week and was much more steady when he stood. His arm was still badly injured, but he worked past it all the same, that was him for you.
You knocked on your favorite patient's door, stepping in quietly and offering him a smile like you always did.
﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌﹌
"..."
Bakugo was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed, furiously trying to tie his tie to his suit. It was quite hilarious, the way he sometimes used his teeth when he got angry, helplessly using only one arm. He was so focused on his daunting task that he didn't even realize you were there. You stifled a giggle and his eyes shot up.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?" His ears tinted red, and he looked almost panicked. You covered your mouth to hide a smile, he looked so cute flustered it was hard not to.
"Need help?" You ask instead of leaving which he was not thrilled about. He scowled at his bed sheet, glaring at everything but you as he solemnly nodded.
You rolled your eyes, stepping and taking the tie out of his hands. You folded it neatly before wrapping it around his neck, looping it gently under his collar before flipping it neatly into a crisp finish.
Your fingers brushed absently against his neck and he shivered, daring to look at you once more. You were... perfect, to him. Part of him hated how weak he was, how surely you must judge him for not being able to get ready for a U.A graduation? But your small smile and warm eyes never faltered, never gave away to pity or disgust.
By the time you pulled away, he was flushing and looking anywhere but you again, he later was released, and although you were sad to see him go, it was safe to say he would definitely have a close assistant whenever he became pro!
How they would ask you out - Midoriya, Bakugou and Todoroki
A/N: I will probably be doing this again but it will be with different characters but if you guys would like something else you can request it in the requests tab, this is my first time making head cannons about bnha characters so please be kind in the comments or notes.
CW: Light swearing

Bakugou asked you out 2 minutes before class started. The whole class was already there (except Aizawa, he was still sleeping in a hot dog).
You felt a scrunched up piece of paper hit your back so you turned back to see who was most likely to throw it at you.
“Oi, Y/N read the fucking paper”, Bakugou ordered, a stupid smirk on his face. Rolling your eyes, you assumed it would say something childish like, ‘you’re so stupid’.
Even though you thought the paper would say something that would reflect Bakugou’s immature brain, your curiosity controlled your actions, making you open the paper.
As you opened the letter you heard 2 boys giggling behind you. ‘You’re my girlfriend now’ as you saw those words on the paper you wanted to rip the paper and throw it back at Bakugou but before you could even rip the paper Aizawa walked in ruining your chance to put Bakugou in his place.

Midoriya thinks you’re the best fighter in 1a and always praises you about your quirk, he even spent 6 whole hours trying to use one for all at 30% just so you would notice and be impressed but he sadly just ended up injuring himself.
‘‘Iida-kun isn’t Y/L/N amazing at using their quirk. They won against Kacchan and Todoroki, no wonder they got into UA through recommendations. I still can’t believe I’m in the same class as them, I for sure thought they would be in 1a and I would be in 1b.’’ ‘‘Midoriya-kun do you like Y/L/N?’’ Midoriya’s pencil and notebook fell out of his hands as he blushed and froze.
Midoriya would freeze if he was 2 meters close to you so you would have to ask him out (He is going to literally going to blush crazy and look the other way with his hands covering his cheeks)

A few hours after class, you were finishing your homework and you got texted by an unexpected person. You and Todoroki don’t usually talk so you were surprised to see his name in your notifications.You clicked on the notification and you were pretty shocked at what he wrote.
He lacks social skills so he asked you out in the most worst way which was by texting you.
Mentions & Implications: This is a Bakugou x Fem!Reader fic. This is part of the BNHAREM collab. This month is all about our favorite blasty boi, Bakugou! Also I hope all of this makes sense. I wrote this in many parts over the past few weeks and I'm eternally distracted. So while I normally spell check and grammar check everything, this fic did not receive any of that lol.
No warnings really unless you count language because let’s face it, this is about Bakugou and according to fandom, he curses. But since this a fluff, I kept it to a minimum. Also, I really suck at fluff, so if you actually like this, please let me know. I could use the serotonin and dopamine.
He watched her glide on water and come sliding to a stop, spraying water in the villain’s face. For the first time he was starstruck. How had he not noticed her before? They were in the same class together. They graduated together, right? Surely he’d trained with her at some point. So why was today the first day he actually SAW her?
She felt eyes on her. Cold, calculated, crimson. Her breath hitched and she almost lost her footing if it weren’t for the fact she remembered she was in the middle of apprehending a criminal. After the handoff to police, Y/N wondered if it actually happened. Did he really look at her? Did he finally notice her after all these years? A side glance from behind her shades told her that yes, he was most definitely looking at her.
He was angry at himself for not remembering. Affirmations about you from Kirishima solidified that you were there. You’d always been there. You’d been quiet, while he’d been loud. You’d been slow and steady, while he rushed ahead. He had Mina speak about you. She eagerly complied and caught him up on everything that made you-you.
“Did you really forget about Y/N being in our class? She hung out with everyone!” Mina laughed.
“Not with me. Tell me more about her.” He filled out paperwork as Mina chatted on, while on the opposite side of the building, Kirishima was having the exact same conversation with Y/N.
“It’s disheartening that he’s just now noticing that I exist. But that’s okay. He’s been hyper-focused on trying to be #1. No one should fault him for that.” Y/N played with the hem of her shirt before sighing and picking up the sandwich on her plate.
“He’s still a good guy, Y/N. He’s just never been good at socializing.” Kirishima took a bite of his food and downed it with a gulp of lemonade.
“Oh I know. It’s okay. I’ll just keep watching him from afar. I don’t want to give him a reason to lose his focus.
/*-+-*/
He watched her in the office. She gave him side glances on patrols. They would discreetly help each other while taking villains down. And then one Winter day he asked her to train with him.
"Oh! Oh sure, that sounds like fun!" He and Y/N made their way to a nearby facility and lost themselves in a few hours of teaching how to support the other with their quirks.
/*-+-*/
"I wanna ask her out on a date, but I don't at the same time."
Kirishima looked at his friend with confusion. "You know it's obvious that you two like each other, right? I mean... literally everyone can see it. You two spend almost every waking minute with each other. What's stopping you?"
"I really like her. I don't wanna scare her away." He rose from his place on the couch and frustratingly ran his fingers through his hair as he made his way to the oversized window.
/*-+-*/
"Can I borrow this? Mine got ripped to shreds when a villain fought me on my way home the other night." Holding up a black sweatshirt, Y/N waved it in front of Mina's face. Mina blinked in thought before breaking out into laughter and nodding. Y/N slipped it over her head, inhaling the faint scent of smoked caramel. “Thanks! I’ll keep it until I can get another one!” With a sly smile, her pink alien friend waved her off and told her not to worry about it.
The cold wind was sharp on her face when she pulled the hood over her head and inhaled. The scent calmed her like a warm hug as she hurried home. Thoughts of a spiky haired man invaded her mind, making her already pink cheeks burn. She loved the man since their first year at UA. He never looked her way, never knew she existed. But she watched him as they faced trials and tribulations as a class, as individuals, and now as heroes. What made him finally look at her? She entered the dark apartment and kicked off her boots in favor of the memory foam bunny slippers, sighing as she shuffled to her room. She fell against the pillows and plushies on her bed and fell asleep still wrapped up in the black sweatshirt, a smile on her face as visions of Bakugou invaded her dreams.
/*-+-*/
“What’s so funny?” Y/N tilted her head, looking at a giggling Mina as they entered the doors of the agency.
“Oh nothing!” Mina sang as she skipped into the room. Bakugou was already stationed at the coffee pot, glaring at it as if willing it to drip faster with the black gold. A side glance stilled his heart for a fleeting moment when he saw Y/N walk in. All smiles and sunshine next to her friend. Then he saw it. Bakugou couldn’t help but notice the familiarity of the pullover. There was a certain tear by the pocket with a singed edge. “Where did you get that sweatshirt?”
She hugged herself in the oversized sweater, “Mina let me have it, why?”
“It’s mine.”
“Oh. … OH!” Shrugging off the garment hastily, she folded it over and offered it to him, “I’m so sorry, Bakugou! I had no idea!” Keeping her eyes down, she heard a soft ‘tch’ and a shadow moving away.
“Hurry up and get changed so we can go train.”
She watched him walk away, and heard stifled laughter behind her. Turning to see Kirishima and Mina huddled together at a corner table, Y/N walked up to her friends and hissed, “What is so funny? He’s clearly upset that I have something that belongs to him!”
“Oh sweet summer child, you really are clueless, aren’t you?” Pinky beamed and grabbed Y/N’s hand. Kirishima shook his head and laughed, “He really likes you!”
Stars lit up in Y/N’s eyes as she turned in time to watch Bakugou turn the corner. “He...likes me too?” Still clutching the pullover in her arms, she quickly followed after him, only to see him enter the locker room. Turning around, she noticed the door to his office was open. She entered his room and left the sweatshirt on his desk before leaving to get ready to train.
/*-+-*/
Hours later, Bakugou walked into his office, narrowing his eyes at the black bundle on the desk. He picked it up to examine it when soft notes of jasmine and vanilla wafted up to his nose. He narrowed his eyes and tucked the shirt under his arm as he took a folder into his other hand and left the agency.
The entryway of his home lit up when he turned the key and opened the door. Kicking off shoes and padding down the hall, he deposited the jumper and folder onto the table before unwinding for the evening. Once evening chores, dinner, and paperwork were all caught up, it was time for bed. He started for his bedroom when he spied the hoodie on the table. Gingerly picking it up he took it to his bedroom and slipped into bed. Cuddling the garment close, he inhaled the vanilla jasmine scent, and all thoughts of Y/N consumed him as he fell asleep.
Bakugou walked into the agency the next morning and took notice of Y/N wearing a new sweatshirt in an ombre gray. Scoffing to himself, he poured himself a cup of coffee. “...look better in black.”
Y/N turned at Bakugou's mumbling, “Hmm? Did you say something?”
“I said you look better in black!” Narrowing his eyes he gave her a severe look and stomped out of the room to his office, slamming the door behind him. He never did see the small smile and blush that crossed her features.
/*-+-*/
Weeks of lighthearted flirting turned into months, and the cool morning of Spring kissed Y/N’s skin as she walked into the lounge room of the agency rubbing her arms for warmth. He was already pouring a cup of coffee when she came in. He cocked an eyebrow and scoffed. “It’s not even cold outside anymore.” He watched her sunshine smile as she stepped near him, only to open the refrigerator door.
“It is to me!” Y/N blushed as she hid her face on the other side of the door, before pulling out a bottle of orange juice and retreated to her office. A bundle in black was draped over her chair. It was the hoodie she had returned to Bakugou months ago. She turned the covering over her arms, the scent of caramel and smoke filling her senses, a smile of giddiness on her face.
“Just tell him already!”
Y/N jumped to find her pink friend leaned against the doorframe. “Mina! I-I can’t do that. He’s got to focus, remember? I don’t want to get in the way of him trying to achieve what he wants the most.”
Mina crossed her arms and shook her head. “You’re so dense sometimes, Y/N. He gave that back to you. He clearly likes you. And you! Your cheeks might as well be permanently pink, and you have hearts in your eyes! Everyone in this building can see how in love you are. I’ve been talking to Kirishima and he agrees with me. We’ve been watching you two flirt for a long time, and it’s agonizing! And you know what? He’s scared of asking you out. He’s afraid to run you off. You’re going to have to be the one to do it. You’re going to have to ask him out.”
Floored by the new information, Y/N sunk into her chair, clutching the hoodie close to her heart. Her mind faltered and unable to form words, she stared dumbly at her best friend. “But- I… He’s scared of running me off?”
/*-+*/
“You just left it in her office? Why didn’t you just give it to her? Everyone in this building already knows you like each other! Be manly and just tell her already, bro!” Kirishima exclaimed, zipping up his duffel bag. “You know what? If you don’t go ask her out, I will. I think she’s pretty cute and I bet we’d have a great time at this new ramen shop that just opened across the street.”
A low growl emanated from the explosion hero, “Don’t you dare.” Still in his hero uniform, Bakugou stormed out of the locker room leaving his best friend to snicker and shake his head.
/*-+-*/
Hearing a familiar stomp down the hall, Mina gleefully smiled before moving aside to allow Bakugou to enter. “I’ll see you later Y/N! I expect a call or text soon!” Mina shut the door as she waved her goodbye, leaving both heroes to stare at each other, their voices trapped from shyness.
Remembering the sweater in her arms, Y/N rose from her chair and slowly walked toward the tall blonde. “You left this for me?”
“Yeah.”
“Are we sharing this hoodie now?”
“I’m letting you borrow it. It’ll keep you warm better than that crappy one you had. It’s going to be cold tonight when we go to the ramen shop across the street.” Shoving his hands into his pockets, he turned away in an attempt to hide the slight blush that formed on his face.
Eyes enlarged with disbelief, Y/N brought the pullover up to cover the astonishment expressed on her face and mumbled, “We? Are you asking me out on a date?” Gazing up at the man before her, she couldn’t help but notice the tips of his ears were turning red. He didn’t look at her when he nodded, but once the bells of her happy voice rang out, he turned and couldn’t stop himself from smiling.
/*-+-*/
*15 YEARS LATER*
“Remember I’m going to be late tonight because Todoroki is holding a study group at his house! Hurry up Harumi, I don’t wanna be late to school because of you!”
“Sorry Raiden! Bye Mom, bye Dad! Love you!”
The door slammed and all was quiet. Y/N stuck her thumbs through the torn holes in the sleeves and started clearing the table when she heard the door of the bedroom shut. Picking up a cup of leftover orange juice, she brought it to her lips when two arms snaked around her waist and she felt a kiss on the back of her head.
“You still have that? It’s worn all to hell. Let me get you a new one.”
Y/N glanced at him mid sip. Smiling into the cup, she finished her drink, her other hand lovingly patted her husband’s arm. Finishing her drink, she wiped her mouth on the sleeve. “A new one? But this is my favorite! I plan on wearing it until it completely falls apart!”
Rolling his eyes, Bakugou peppered Y/N’s face with kisses, ignoring squeals of laughter and the playful pushes against his chest. “Move so I can help you with the dishes before we head to work.”
/*-+-*/
Filing paperwork was the best way to wind down after a long day of apprehending villains. Huddled over her desk Y/N was writing up the last report of the day when the door to her office swung open and her sweaty husband swaggered inside. She narrowed her eyes at his appearance.. Was he wearing a new pullover?
“Just got done going for a run. You ready to go home yet?” Bakugou removed the hoodie, a hint of his waning abs peeking from under his shirt. “Tch. Put those eyes back in your sockets, woman.” Holding out his hand to a giggling Y/N, he pulled her away from the desk and against him for a quick hug before leaving hand-in-hand from the agency.
A sudden breeze blew against the two, causing Y/N to rub her arms. In a side glance, she saw her husband putting on the sweater.
"Sharing is caring, now give me the sweatshirt!"
“Hell no! You chose to not bring your old piece of shit hoodie even though I said it was going to be cold tonight. Suffer the consequences, ya brat.”
“Please sweetheart? I know I should have listened this morning, and you’re right of course. I’m just so cold. You don’t want me to get sick, do you?” Her sugar sweet words twisted around his heart as she gently wrapped her arms around him and tilted her head up and batted her eyes in a most heartfelt manner. Bakugou glared at his wife and paused before grunted his displeasure. With a sigh and an eye roll it was all over. The man scoffed and shook out of the sweatshirt and slipped it over Y/N, pulling the hood over her head.
Face flushed red, the towering blonde pillar looked anywhere but at her. “Dammit woman, why do you do this to me? Next time listen to me and don’t be so stubborn. You’re lucky I love you.”
Enveloped in the warm hug scented of woodsy caramel, she pulled the oversized sleeves over her hands and cupped the tall hero’s cheeks and turned him to face her, “I am the luckiest girl in the world, aren’t I? Thank you for my new hoodie. I love you.”
Lowly growling at the woman before him, Bakugou cocked a brow before breaking out into a smile, shaking his head. “You’re ridiculous, woman, tricking me like that. I love you too. Now let’s get home and have some quiet time before those brats get home.” Putting his arm around her shoulders, he pulled her against him and felt Y/N’s arms wrap around him. He smiled against her hooded head as she giggled and together they walked, their steps in sync toward home.
here’s another “tiny” headcannon i have and ill be surprised if it hasn't been mentioned already XD
i have it in my head if quirks didn't exist and they were both in a modern world like us they they would be obsessed with comics.
like Bakugou would be a hard core DC fan and Deku would be a Hard core Marvel fan.
Baku constantly arguing that DC is better when Deku is like they both have their merits but i like Marvel better. Baku getting upset as DC is superiors.
i dont think they would like fist fight over it or anything it would just be a small bicker thing they do from time to time.
i feel like Bakugou’s fave hero would be Superman and be VERY defensive of anyone who says hes not the best.
Deku’s favorite i feel would either be Iron man or the incredible hulk. as i feel like he would relate to them most. (iron man because hes the closest to All Might and Hulk because green and hes intelligent and strong)
you could view this platonically or romantically it still works XD
