Bakugou is actually a very tactile, ‘love language is physical touch’ kind of person. However, when he was younger and his quirk developed, it suddenly became very apparent to him that people didn’t want him to touch them. Often they were concerned about being blown up or burnt, but some were just grossed out by the sweat on his hands. 

Eventually he just stopped trying and resigned himself to the fate his quirk had given him. He pretended as though he didn’t like physical contact in order to protect his pride. Bullying sessions with Deku, combat practice, and Masaru (who knows better than to believe him) were often the only source of contact he got. 

The idea of his hands being weapons was firmly drilled into his head until the first time Mina hugged him. 

The entire class wondered for a moment if he and Kirishima had accidentally swapped quirks with how stiff he got. Everyone was expecting some sort of explosion but he just sort of… froze?? then left?? as soon as she let go??

Later that night she came to his room to apologize, thinking that she made him uncomfortable, only for him to tackleher in a hug as soon as she shut the door. He didn’t say anything, and neither did she, but Mina could feel how hot his face was against her. They stayed in that silence for a long time before they broke apart.

They didn’t say much to eachother afterwards, but the two got into a habit of going to each other for hugs when they needed it. For Mina, it was because Bakugou gave surprisingly good hugs and was incredibly warm. For Bakugou, it was because he knew that Mina didn’t mind. 

Eventually the other boys caught on and took it upon themselves to initiate that first contact with their friend. 

Kirishima went first, having had a good practice together and bypassing their usual nod of approval for a good old fashioned bear hug. Again, Bakugou went stiff as a board, but soon relaxed enough to awkwardly hug his friend back with a spoken: “Yeah, yeah, whatever Shitty Hair.”

With Sero, it happened accidentally during rescue training. Bakugou made a bad pivot in mid-air and he used his tape to grab him before he crashed. The trusty ‘protect the victim’ instinct took over Sero and he pulled Bakugou into him. When the dust settled, the exercise was over, Sero was still holding Bakugou… And Bakugou wasn’t pulling away. 

Kaminari, naturally, made it happen through his own methods. He flat out refused to charge Bakugou’s phone without a hug first, so the more explosive of the two took it upon himself to try and shove the cord into Kaminari’s mouth. When he got in close, Kaminari jumped onto him like a koala and grinned. “Didn’t say you had to hug me!”

He never said a word, but as Bakugou found himself all but crushed by his friends in the third cuddle puddle that week, he knew that those idiots understood. 

Archive of Our Own has finally given me clearance for an account. I can now finally post my fix, BUT FIRST, a quick snippet of what I’m working on. It’s Bakushima/ Kiribaku trash :) and I love trash cause I’m a fucking dumpster :)

Caffeineted Revelry

“Bakugou took a few steps towards the countertop, and dusted off his black v neck before slipping it on. Seeing as how the weather made it impossible to get any work done, Bakugou decided to come back during night time. Even though he’ll risk the chances of not getting enough sleep, and probably dealing with the occasional hobo, at least that means he’ll get something done. And with that, Bakugou locked up. After checking the back door, once, twice, and maybe for a third time, he finally locked the front door. The young mother from earlier was struggling with her child, a young boy who struggled between keeping his shoes on, off, or maybe just half way. Across the street was a suspiciously charming building. Thick panes of white, and yellow surrounded the entrance to an inviting flower shop. Large, clear windows boasted decadent bouquets. Floral arrangements comprised of roses, peonies, irises, and calla lilies were wrapped gently in taffeta. The store exudes an energy too happy, too light hearted; Bakugou hates it.

And yet, here he was, crossing the street because anything is better than 95 degree weather. A rush of cold air blew through Bakugou’s hair, freezing the sweat on his skin. Good to know the A.C. works. This place is pretty tacky though. Smells like fertilizer, and vanilla. This “tacky” interior featured a plethora of fauna encased in glass vases; each leaf and curvature of a stem seemed to beckon Bakugou. “Just a touch, a quick look.” The door closed with one, swift movement; the gentle jingle of a bell was heard before Bakugou was heartily greeted by one of the employees. Some guy, probably 23 or 25, came from the back room. His hands were slick with water, and he was wearing a pastel pink t shirt with the word “Buds” emblazoned on a violet peony. His hair was distinctly red, and his smile proved to be just as vibrant. On his chest was a nametag that read “E. Kirishima.”

“Hi, glad you came by! Welcome to Buds!” Kirishima made an enthusiastic, albeit half-hand wave as he reached for a towel in the same motion.”

My Hero Academia, season 3 episode 10? You mean: 

Kirishima: “Babe, come over”

Bakugou: “Can’t, I’m being held hostage right now”

Kirishima: “My parents aren’t home” 

Bakugou:
