Would you hear me out on Seiji/Bakugo?
Seiji's whole thing is he's logical and the existence of someone like Bakugo trying to be a hero makes 0 sense to him and that's mostly why he yells at him.
Seiji told Bakugo he was shameful because the way he acts doesnt fit what hes saying, from his point of view. Bakugo told him at the licence exam that Seiji just likes to hear himself talk, that he wants proof and that he wants him to show him with his actions not his cheap words if his assumed logic about Bakugo was right prove it with fighting.
Seiji thinks Bakugo has a inflated since of pride and he needs to be taught to be dignified and broken.
THERE IS SO MUCH POTENTIAL FOR ENEMIES TO LOVERS HERE
----- gonna write my thoughts out -----
Seiji sighed, feeling the weight of responsibility for the future of hero society pressing down on him. He couldn't stand by and watch someone like Bakugo tarnish the reputation of UA students with his boorish behavior like that. Shiketsu or not, it was his duty to say something so that is why he told him when he did!
That encounter weighed heavily on Seiji's mind as he walked with his classmates, Camie and Inasa, towards their exam retake location. He tried to dismiss it, but Bakugo's arrogance gnawed inside his mind ever since that day. How could his teacher let him go unchecked? It was absolutely shameful!
"Yo, chill Seiji," Camie said in her usual laid-back tone as they entered the examination grounds. "Your eyes are swimming laps my guy. You need to re-laxxx" Camie's words rolled off her tongue slow like her brain.
Inasa, ever the enthusiast, chuckled heartily. "Today's gonna be awesome! I get why you're so pumped!"
They hadn't walked far before they spotted Bakugo and Todoroki approaching from the opposite direction. Bakugo's eyes locked onto Seiji's immediately, determination in them.
"HEY YOU, i got something to say to you," Bakugo growled low as they drew closer.
Seiji squared his shoulders but said nothing.
"Your classmate apologized to me on your behalf back at the licence exam.." He began loudly enough. His voice dripped with condescension as he continued, "He said you were trying to push your stupid ideals onto me like any i was some random fucker you know off the street. And you just couldn't help yourself when it came to me, is that right?" He bared his gums in his twisted smile. Seiji absolutely hated the face he was making.
The memory of Nagamasa Mora apologizing for his outburst briefly burned in his mind, he held his composure. Silence hung between them for a moment before Bakugo broke it again.
"Well, keep your damn values to yourself, you damn meatball!" Bakugo barked.
In that instant, despite all his resolve to remain calm and composed, something within Seiji snapped. "Beast!" he yelled back fiercely. "If you keep behaving this way, you'll never understand what it means to be a true hero!"
Camie stepped forward lightly placing a hand on his shoulder. "Seiji-babe, calm down~." He barely registered her words.
Inasa laughed heartily once more behind them, clearly enjoying the early morning yelling despite its tension.
Seiji took a deep breath and lowered his voice though still intense with passion. "Warriors like us have a responsibility beyond ourselves. Step up or step out; those are your choices."
Bakugo’s smirk grew wider; he loved when people met him with fire. It only fueled him further. "Then bring it on! I'll knock those high-and-mighty ideals right outta ya!"
Todoroki stood silently beside Bakugo and Camie's hand stayed on by Seiji trying to unfuel the fire.

I'm calling them Meatbomb
I'm always amazed by the creativity here cause how do you guys come up with such solid stuff about these ships???
I can see your vision for them, I guess it could turn out to be a really interesting dynamic, they would be competitive but in different ways than Bakugo is with Izuku or Todoroki, it's hard for me to imagine them interacting all that much like that but i really like the piece you wrote, i think Seiji would be one of the few people that could pin bakugo down with just his words
