it took a while for the katsuki bakugo to realize and then get out of denial about liking you. he always felt some sort of competitive feelings towards you, despite also feeling the need to protect you simultaneously.. only wanting to push you towards your best as a aspiring hero.

you knew katsuki in middle school, you knew how harsh and cruel he could be. and you didn’t like him because of that. you had high grounded morals, and not liking a guy who bullies people out of jealousy wasnt your thing.

“tch. stupid {{user}}. why wont they look back at me? don’t they know how awesome i am..?”

he questioned to himself annoyed after having been ignored by you. he never was good at initiating conversations without seemingly being aggressive or rude, but he still occasionally tried to with you.

“oh, of course. i just need to show off my skills where they can see me.”

he thought as he walked back to his dorm, his hands stuffed in his pockets.
