sypnosis ᢉ𐭩 bakugo hides his feelings for u, only letting his emotions out through drumming. until his feelings for u get too strong..
“so, how’s your band going?” you ask, not looking up from the textbook you were studying. katsuki’s eyes flicked up to yours. gosh you were so pretty. he imagined how your fingertips would feel against his, he fantasized about how warm you’d feel against him. his heart skipped a beat as he thought about it— “katsuki?” your voice interrupted, now staring right into his ruby eyes
“how is your band going?” you ask again, the pencil in your hand forgotten as you look up at katsuki
“I— uh.. yeah.” katsuki stammered. he never got this nervous, but you made him stutter over his words. “yeah?” you echoed, tilting your head with a small smile, “oh— uhm, I meant.. it’s going fine” katsuki said, clearing his throat. katsuki tried to ignore how warm his ears felt, opting to look back down into his own textbook
you nodded, looking down at your textbook, underlining the important details. “that’s good to hear. when’s your next concert? I wanna come.” you say, scribbling down notes. the date was blurry in katsuki’s head as he got distracted by you, “next week, 6pm friday,” he nearly sputtered to avoid embarrassing himself even more, writing down half-assed notes in the textbook, “d’you wanna wear sum of my merch?..” he mumbled after, not looking up
“really?! you’d let me wear your bands merch?” you exclaim, a smile spreading across your face. a small smirk threatened to appear on katsuki’s face, “duh.” he deadpanned, looking up at you with a mock glare.
you guys finished your studying session and katsuki went to the kitchen to get water, only to come back with two bottles of water and a shirt in his hands. your head perked up, only for your face to be covered by a shirt. you pawed the shirt off from your head, holding it up and gasping in awe. “your merch is.. so cool!!” you exclaim, still staring at the shirt. “yeah? ya think so?” katsuki asks, sitting back down beside you
“of course!!” you reply, throwing the shirt onto your bed so that you could wash it later
the days leading up to his concert were a blur between wanting to get done with exams and making it to the weekend. until, the day finally came! you threw on the shirt from katsuki and a nice pair of bell bottom jeans that hugged your body just right. you had already asked katsuki where the location would be, about to start walking before your phone buzzes. looking down, you see a text from katsuki and open your phone to look at it
bakuhoe: I’m picking u up. I’m already outside so hurry up
you: okay!! I’m coming lmfao
you hit send before grabbing your purse and slinging it onto your shoulder, twisting the doorknob and excitedly yanking the door open. you practically skip with every step as you make your way to the entrance to your dorm building, seeing katsuki’s car from outside the glass doors. you smooth down your hair and any fly aways before leaving the building and walking towards katsuki’s car
“katsuki!! you look very..” you see katsuki leaning on the car door, causing you to stop and admire how he looks. hes dressed so nicely you feel almost underdressed, but you remember it’s his concert. he’s wearing a tank top with a cool graphic design painted onto it, a beaded necklace completing the upper outfit. you see baggy jeans hiding his legs, bunching up perfectly when his jeans meet his sneakers, “cool” you say breathlessly
just as you finish eyeing him up, you notice him also ogling at your outfit. “yeah yeah, you look decent yourself.” he glared appreciatively at the way your jeans hugged your plush thighs and flared flawlessly at your calves. he thought it complimented your figure, the shirt he gave you of his band’s merch hugging your body just right
he opens the car door for you before going around to get inside the car himself. the drive to the place was filled with light conversations and jokes, like it’s always been. though, after tonight, katsuki doesn't know how much he can keep his feelings hidden for you
“so, what song are you opening with? or is it a secret?” you giggle, looking over at him, “surprise. it’s something I wrote.” katsuki replies and cherishes the moment you smile even bigger. after a few minutes, he parks the car at a small club bouncing with muffled sounds of another band performing inside. people yelled over the music to talk to their friends, a wide smile on their faces. it reminded you to live in the moment and relish in the multi-colored lights shining against your face
the two of your get out of the car and you follow katsuki. he stops when his band members greet you and then him, “hey!!— oh my gosh!! yn, I didn’t know you were coming!!” jirou exclaims, hugging you. you chuckle and wrap your arms around her, pulling away after a moment, “katsuki gave me your guys’s merch, why didn’t you tell me it was so cool??” you yelled to try and cut through the loud music
you and jirou chat before her, katsuki and the rest of their band members need to set up, you wish them luck before seeing them walk into a door with “stage crew only” plastered onto the wood
you watch as they quickly get set up, a good handful of people waiting to see what kind of music they would play. you were lucky to get front row so quickly, wanting to see katsuki as he plays. it was your guilty pleasure but you did enjoy seeing katsuki sweaty and dripping after performing
it wasn’t long until you heard them warming up, a light chatter filling the atmosphere as people besides you made small talk. you went on your phone in the meantime
after a while you heard jirou, the lead singer, “thank you guys for coming out tonight!! it means a lot to us! we’re gonna be opening with something our drummer made!” she said into the mic, looking behind her to katsuki. he had a mic to infront of him aswell, a small scowl on his face. his grimace softened when he spotted you in the small crowd. you stood out to him, like you were the only one he cared to look for in a sea of people
you smiled at him when you saw him staring at you, cheering and clapping. katsuki gave a small smile before the music started. the lighting changed into an orange hue, more lights flashing in your peripheral but you keep your gaze set on katsuki
let it out. been building up you better let it out
say everythin’ that youve been meaning now
his gruff voice sang into the mic, youve never heard him sing but all you know is that you want to hear it more. denki was playing his own instrument before katsuki continued singing out the lyrics
everything you do makes my heart race!!
I can’t even think straight
he sang, hands slamming the sticks onto the drums effortlessly. the song was perfect. katsuki looked up to you as he sang and that’s when you understood why this was a surprise. everything that katsuki had been holding back was now coming out in a raging fit of love, all for his perfect girl
sing these words for the girl ive been dreaming of
is this just another song about love?
his eye contact had your heart skipping every two beats, your cheeks flushed into a rosy tint as your body betrayed how flustered you felt. katsuki made a whole song about you to express his love, slamming all of his loves into his drums as he sang
you started cheering for him, a wide smile on your face. your smile only widened with every lyric of the song
I need your touch! I have no doubt
I want your love til it all runs out!!
he smiled at you as he sang now, feeling even more confident when he noticed you cheering for him. jirou and the rest of the band exhanged knowing looks but kept playing, for the sake of katsuki and his love for you
the song was over and it felt like you had went through a rollercoaster, which, you kinda did. you instantly cheered and clapping, being the loudest one there in the crowd of people that had increased throughout the song. your heart swelled with affection, the feeling was mutual. you could feel the warmth and love radiating off of katsuki, or maybe it was your love-filled haze
when katsuki’s band finally finished all of their songs and finally, you saw katsuki in the crowd of people. you pushed your way through the sea of people, stepping on some people’s feet. once you were finally out of that herd, you practically jumped onto katsuki with how fast you ran into his arms. you giggled into his chest, arms wrapped around his neck
“lemme ask properly now since I’m tired of hidin’ it, be my girlfriend,” he more like told than asked, “of course, katsuki!! you really made a whole song for me!!” you say before pressing your lips to his in a soft, loving kiss
he reciprocated with a smile, chuckling raspily against your lips before melting into your touch. he’s waited so long to feel your skin against his, your lips against his own. now he’s finally got you in his arms
