Bakugo had always struggled with his temper—a fiery explosion of anger that was difficult to control. But keyword: had. Sure, he still had moments where his frustration bubbled over, but things were better now, and it was all because of you, his partner and biggest supporter.

Your classmates never understood why you were with him. They saw the arrogant, brash Bakugo who always seemed to be angry and pushing others away. They saw a bully, someone impossible to like. But you saw something different. You saw the boy behind the anger—a boy who had trouble expressing himself and needed someone to help him.

It wasn’t easy, but you helped him learn to manage his emotions, to channel his frustration into something more constructive. You gave him space when his rage flared up and showed him that it was okay to be vulnerable.

Bakugo hated being angry all the time. It made him feel weak and out of control—things that didn’t fit the image he tried so hard to uphold. He didn’t understand why everyone seemed to push his buttons. Except you. You were the one person who never set him off. When you were around, he could breathe.

And while he might never say it out loud, there was no doubt in his mind that he adored you. It wasn’t in the way he showed affection—Bakugo wasn’t one for grand gestures or sweet words. But in the quiet moments, in the subtle touches, in the way he softened when you were near, his love for you was clear. It was in the way his heart raced when you smiled at him or how his temper barely flared when you were there to calm him down.

You were his support, his peace, his constant, the calm to his storm. And though he could never find the right words to express it, you meant everything to him.
