a/n: this is honestly just self indulgent.

Bakugo doesn’t typically get nervous.

He felt confident in his academic ability. While Yaoyorozu took the spot as the top ranking student from the recent math test, he was still near the top with a near perfect score.

As for his quirk, he’s come a long way being a third year and all. He continues to surpass his limits every day. He feels satisfied while looking at the gradual progression of his physical ability.

Regardless, there’s no preparation when he sees you walk into homeroom.

He can feel his heart beating a bit faster than usual. Hearing his heart beating in his ears.

So he tries to slow down his breathing.

But that makes his head go dizzy.

So he throws that plan out the window.

He tries to breathe like normal. But then what’s the normal pace for breathing? Or what was normal for him?

He can feel his palm get sweaty as he was gripping his pencil. He quickly wipes his hands on his uniform pants.

Small, almost silent, pricks can be heard from the combination of Bakugo’s quirk and his pants.

All while he is trying to remember how to breathe normally.

He almost didn’t realize that you sat next time to him if it wasn’t your perfume.

It was sweet.

You were sweet. Always considerate and kind towards your friends.

Friends.

Pretty sure you guys are somewhat friends, Bakugo likes to think.

You guys don’t talk much though, Bakugo tries to keep the conversation to a minimum, not because he doesn’t like you.

Quite the opposite, actually. It’s because he will turn into a stuttering, blushing mess if you look at him with those pretty eyes of yours.

Don’t believe me? Let’s take a look at last week incident, shall we?

It was a day at gym gamma for class 1-a, typical quirk-strengthening session for them. Everyone was occupied with their own physical abilities.

Kirishima, in particular, was tearing up a rock wall with his hardening quirk. The wall began to have multiple cracks, in fact, a large one was scaling to the top.

A piece of debris was about to fall.

Kirishima looked up a bit too late and saw that the slab of rock was leaning above Bakugo.

Bakugo, on the other hand, was absorbed in his training as he was perfecting his aim for his AP shot move. His arms felt heavy and his arms were getting tired of the weight of his gauntlets.

“Bakugo, watch out!” Kirishima calls out.

Bakugo quickly looks to his side, listening to Kirishima’s warning, but he realizes what used to be a sunny spot, was overshadowed by something.

Bakugo looks up and sees the upcoming rubble.

He didn’t have time to blink before the falling debris was pulverized.

Bakugo looked in awe yet confusion at how sudden all this was, and wondering how did he not get smushed?

“You’re a real damsel in distress aren’t you?”

Bakugo’s eyes widened at the familiar feminine voice and the source as to why he wasn’t just crushed right now.

He looks to his left side and sees you smirking.

Actually, he wished the boulder crushed him.

“Y-you’re the real damsel in distress here!”

“Yeah? Will you be my knight and shining armor, then?” Y/n said while nearing Bakugo.

Katsuki’s face felt like it was on fire. He developed enough sweat to blow up a small village.

“No, of course not! Save yourself!”

“Aaah so you don’t want to be number one then, huh?”

“Huh!? I-I never said that! Don’t put words in my mouth, extra!”

Y/n only chuckled a bit and as the moment passed, she looked at Bakugo with a look that he couldn’t really describe, but she looked like she was on the cusp of asking something.

But she blew out some air and walked away, returning to her spot in the gym to resume her training.

And you being effortlessly stunning doesn’t really help.

“Pst, Bakugo. Did you study for today’s quiz?”

Bakugo nearly jumped out of his seat. Hearing you say his name was music to his ears. His heart beat feels like a rising crescendo on a drum set.

“Tch, of course.”

“Damn, I kinda forgot” Y/n laughed a bit and sent an easy-going smile his way.

Bakugo feels like he’s melting at that smile of yours. It’s like you want him to embarrass himself.

Before Bakugo can reprimand you, Aizawa enters the classroom and begins class.

The bell rang, signaling it’s time for lunch.

Class 1-a made their way to the cafeteria, splitting to different groups as such.

Bakugo was observant. Well, specifically towards Y/n. He felt like whenever he got the chance his eyes always gravitated towards her.

Y/n typically sat at Midoryia’s table, so she was walking beside Uraraka towards the line to get food.

“Ooo! Y/n, c’,mon, hurry! They are going to run out of curry buns!” Uraraka urges her friend to join her in running to make the line.

“Alright, alright. I’m coming!” She starts to pick up the pace.

However, there was a small puddle in Y/n’s way, of course, she didn’t notice this.

One wrong placement of her foot, and she was slipping backwards.

Uraraka looked back and realized, but it was too late as she reached out her hand, hoping to help.

Y/n squeezed her eyes shut at the impact, but it never came.

Someone did catch Y/n.

And it was a certain spiky haired kid with sandy blonde hair who had the biggest crush on her.

Y/n opened her eyes and looked into Bakugo’s.

It took a couple seconds to realize how close they were.

They were so close, so close that if they were any closer, they would probably touch-

Oh, boy, did they turn into ripe tomatoes.

Bakugo immediately raised Y/n so quickly as if her skin was scalding hot water. Y/n letting out a small yelp in response.

Now, they stood facing each other, letting silence take over.

“Um-”

“Thanks for catching me!” Y/n spoke quickly and began to speed walk in the opposite direction, trying to catch up with Uraraka.

While Bakugo was still trying to process at how close in proximity they were just a few seconds ago.

It was quick, but Y/n turned back to see Bakugo still standing there.

She looked sorta conflicted, but she ended up quickly making her way back to Bakugo. Until she was right infront of him once again, but was a lot closer.

She quickly got on her tip toes and kissed his cheek and said, “I guess you really are my knight in shining armor.” And once again, turned and left as fast as she arrived, leaving Bakugo speechless.

He felt like his world stopped for a good minute.

He touched his cheek where you kissed, trying to savor the feeling.

“You okay, y/n?” Ochako asked as her friend finally caught up to her.

“Yeah, just a bit flustered is all.” Y/n reassured with a small smile.

It was the end of the school day, class 1-a was retiring to their dorm rooms.

Y/n was walking with Mina while Bakugo and Kirishima were behind them.

“How well do you think you did on that quiz today? I guessed on some of them, but I feel like I got most of the concepts down.” Mina questions.

“Let’s just say I’d be surprised if I got anything right on that quiz.” Y/n said with a scratching the back of her head in embarrassment.

Mina throws her head back and laughs, as Y/n looks down with a small smile playing her lips.

“Hey Y/n, you should get Bakugo to tutor you. He may not look it, but he really gets the material.” Kirishima refers to his explosive bestie.

Kirishima knew the little crush Bakugo had, it was obvious to see. Nonetheless, Y/n felt that maybe her feelings weren’t reciprocated.

Y/n looks behind at Kirishima, head nods, then turns her attention to Bakugo.

Bakugo took a self note to blast Kirishima into the sky later for putting him on the spot, especially in front Y/n.

“It’s not that hard.” Bakugo mumbled.

Y/n noticed Bakugo’s face to be redder than usual, but she chalked it up to the cold weather at the moment.

Kirishima and Mina shared a knowing looked, which led to Mina exasperatedly say, “Okay, well we’ll let you guys sort out of the details. Let’s go Kirishima! Let’s see what we are having for dinner.” Mina and Kirishima walked off to the dorm building.

Y/n made a mental note to scold Mina about leaving her alone, especially with Bakugo.

There was some silence.

Bakugo felt like his mind was going a million miles per hour at the moment. Trying to find the right words to go about this.

“So, I hear you’re a tutor” “We can tutor in my room”

They spoke at the same time.

Then the silence erupted again.

The mere thought of being alone in a room with Bakugo, even just studying, made Y/n turn into a tomato.

While Bakugo thought he jumped the gun at offering his room to study. She didn’t even ask yet!

“That sounds great!” “N-no I mean.”

Again, simultaneously.

Y/n let out a breathy laugh at how awkward this is going. If only the pair weren’t so awkward with each other.

“Oh, so you can’t tutor me?” Y/n asked slowly to make sure she’s clear.

“No! I mean, yes!”

Y/n titled her head to one side in confusion at his dual answers.

Bakugo thought it was the cutest thing, though.

“I mean, I can tutor you” Bakugo lets out a breath he didn’t know he was holding, “if you want”.

Y/n let out a sigh of relief as well, trying to calm her racing heart.

"I’d like that.” Y/n smiles at Bakugo and he feels his legs turn to jelly. He merely nods, trying to act cool.

Y/n turns to walk into the dorms. As soon as she is inside, Bakugo finally lets up on his stone-cold feature and jumps up in excitement at being successful in talking to Y/n.

He even raised his fist in the air for the achievement, doing his happy dance.

The moment of success was short lived as he turned back to the entrance of the dorms and spots Y/n through the window, staring at him with wide eyes.

Bakugo is beyond embarrassed.

However, y/n just offers a lighthearted smile and a wave.

He returns the favor and walks in.

As much as he thought that he was an absolute dork in front of her, he couldn’t help the smile that reached his face.
