📸 Caught on Camera

College AU – No Quirks | Y/N x Katsuki Bakugou

It was just coffee. One tired morning, one quick run, and one unlucky click of a student photographer’s camera.

The photo went live within hours—you walking out of the café, but the focus wasn’t you. It was Katsuki Bakugou in the background, leaning against a wall, hoodie up. One blurry angle made it look like you’d walked out together.

The caption sealed it:

“Mystery Girl and Bakugou? New campus couple?”

By lunch, it was everywhere. You weren’t even in his department. You had one shared class—physics. And he’d never spoken to you.

Now? Half the campus was looking at you like you were famous… or cursed.

You avoided the dining hall and ducked into the garden behind east hall. Less crowded. Quieter. You picked at your food, hoping the storm would pass.

Your friends found you anyway. “Heard someone crying over you in the bathroom,” one said. “They think you stole him.”

“I didn’t steal anyone,” you muttered, eyes glued to your phone.

“Then why is Bakugou staring at you right now?”

You froze. Slowly looked up.

Sure enough, there he was—walking past, then pausing. He looked right at you, sharp eyes narrowing slightly like he’d just realized something.

You quickly looked back down, heat crawling up your neck.

He didn’t come over.

But he didn’t look away, either.

And somehow, that was worse.
