You call him your boyfriend
His eyes widened, a mixture of surprise and confusion crossing his face. "What the hell did you just say?"
You tried to brush it off, nerves kicking in. "I meant best friend! Slip of the tongue, you know?"
Bakugou's stern expression softened, but a lingering curiosity remained. "Yeah, yeah, whatever. Just watch your words, idiot."
Despite his attempt at nonchalance, a subtle shift occurred. Bakugou started going out of his way to be there for you, whether it was training or just spending time together. Grateful for his support, you found yourself unintentionally slipping into the habit of casually calling him your boyfriend.
After a particularly challenging mission, you couldn't contain your gratitude. "You're amazing, Katsuki. Lucky to have you as my boyfriend—uh, I mean, friend."
Bakugou's demeanor changed instantly. He arched an eyebrow, a mixture of irritation and something else in his eyes. "What the hell did you just call me again?"
Your cheeks reddened, and you stumbled over your words. "I, uh, friend! Best friend! Slip of the tongue, seriously."
He grunted, but this time, a faint blush crept onto his face. "Yeah, yeah, just be more careful with your damn words, idiot."
Despite attempts to smooth things over, the tension lingered, and Bakugou distanced himself. Frustrated and realizing your true feelings, you decided to confront him.
"Katsuki, are you avoiding me because of what I said?"
He scowled, a rare vulnerability flickering in his eyes. "I don't need people thinking we're something we're not. It's annoying."
Taking a deep breath, you spoke honestly. "It's not just about the words, Katsuki. I... I have feelings for you. But our friendship matters more to me, and I'll be more mindful. You're still my best friend, no matter what."
His expression wavered, and after a beat, he grumbled, "Yeah, yeah, best friends or whatever." Slowly, the tension eased, and your relationship found a new equilibrium, leaving room for the unspoken emotions that lingered between you.
Weeks passed, the air between you and Bakugou thick with unspoken emotions. One day, as the sun dipped below the horizon, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink, Bakugou asked if you could meet him at the spot where you both used to watch sunsets during your academy days.
Nervously, you agreed, your heart pounding with anticipation. When you arrived, Bakugou was already there, staring at the horizon with a contemplative expression.
"You wanted to talk?" you asked, trying to keep your voice steady.
Bakugou sighed, his usual fiery demeanor replaced by a rare vulnerability. "Look, about everything... I've been an idiot."
You tilted your head, waiting for him to continue.
"I've been avoiding you because I didn't know how to handle what you said. But the truth is... I've been thinking about it," he admitted, running a hand through his spiky hair.
Your heart raced as you held your breath, waiting for him to continue.
Bakugou took a deep breath, his crimson eyes meeting yours. "I'm not good with words, but... I've got feelings for you too, alright?"
Surprise washed over you, and a grin spread across your face. "You do?"
He scowled, a faint blush dusting his cheeks. "Yeah, yeah, don't make a big deal out of it. It's annoying."
Unable to contain your excitement, you laughed. "Well, you're the one who made it a big deal in the first place."
Bakugou rolled his eyes but couldn't hide a small smile. "Shut up, idiot."
From that moment, the awkward tension melted away, replaced by a newfound understanding. The two of you continued to watch the sunset, knowing that this friendship had transformed into something deeper and more meaningful. Bakugou might not have been the best with words, but his actions spoke volumes, and you were both ready to explore this new chapter in your relationship.
As the sun dipped lower, casting long shadows across the ground, Bakugou broke the silence. "So, are we, like, officially a thing now?"
You chuckled, enjoying the playful banter. "I guess so. Officially the best hero couple, right?"
He rolled his eyes, but a smirk played on his lips. "Whatever. Just don't expect any sappy crap from me."
You nudged him with your shoulder. "Wouldn't dream of it, tough guy."
As the conversation flowed, Bakugou's guard seemed to lower even more. "Seriously, though, I've been an idiot. I should've just said it earlier."
You smiled, appreciating his honesty. "Well, better late than never, right?"
He grunted in agreement, but there was a softness in his eyes that spoke volumes.
The two of you sat in companionable silence for a while, the colors of the sunset reflecting in both your eyes. Then, Bakugou, seemingly out of nowhere, blurted, "You know I'm not good with this emotional crap, right?"
You laughed, gently bumping your shoulder against his. "I figured. But actions speak louder than words, Katsuki."
He huffed, but there was a hint of gratitude in his expression. "Yeah, yeah, just don't go getting all mushy on me."
As darkness settled in and the stars emerged, Bakugou stood up, offering you a hand. "Come on, idiot. Let's get back. We've got hero work tomorrow."
You took his hand, the warmth of the gesture sending a pleasant shiver down your spine. "Yeah, hero work. Together."
And with that, you walked side by side, ready to face whatever challenges came your way, hand in hand with your newfound partner in both heroism and romance.
In the days and weeks that followed, your relationship with Bakugou blossomed into something beautiful and dynamic. The city lights that once witnessed the tension between you now shone upon a partnership that seamlessly blended friendship and romance.
Bakugou, true to his nature, didn't indulge in grand gestures or sappy confessions, but his actions spoke volumes. He continued to have your back during hero missions, his explosions a force of protection and reassurance. The city lights, whether illuminating the night sky or casting a glow over your shared moments, became witnesses to the evolution of your connection.
One evening, as you both patrolled the city, Bakugou stole a glance at you. "Stop grinning like an idiot, it's distracting," he grumbled.
You nudged him playfully. "Can't help it. Just thinking about how lucky I am."
He rolled his eyes, but there was a subtle warmth in his gaze. "Yeah, yeah, don't get used to it."
As your hero duties continued, the support and camaraderie between you and Bakugou deepened. The city lights, whether reflecting off his determined expression during battles or creating a cozy ambiance during quiet nights, became an ever-present backdrop to your shared experiences.
One day, as you both stood on a rooftop overlooking the city, Bakugou spoke with a rare sincerity. "You're not too annoying, you know? And I... I care about you."
You smiled, appreciating the vulnerability in his admission. "You're not too bad yourself, Katsuki. And I care about you too."
The city lights below seemed to shimmer in response, as if celebrating the connection between two heroes who had found something beyond friendship amidst the chaos of their lives.
As your relationship with Bakugou flourished, you faced new challenges together, both as heroes and as partners. The city lights, witness to your journey, reflected the highs and lows, each flicker symbolizing the resilience of your bond.
One evening, as you both sat on your apartment balcony, the city lights below creating a mesmerizing scene, Bakugou turned to you. "This... whatever it is, it's not bad."
You chuckled, appreciating his attempt at expressing his sentiments. "Yeah, it's pretty great, Katsuki."
He huffed, a small smile tugging at his lips. "Don't go getting all sentimental on me, idiot."
You leaned against him, the city lights below twinkling like stars. "Wouldn't dream of it, tough guy."
And so, beneath the city lights that had witnessed the twists and turns of your relationship, you and Bakugou continued to navigate the challenges of hero life together. Your love story, though unconventional, was uniquely yours—a tale of friendship, resilience, and the quiet warmth found in the glow of the city lights.
