You’ve become friends with Katsuki Bakugo—the last person you ever expected to get close to when you first laid eyes on him. His fierce, obnoxious attitude annoyed you the moment you met during the U.A. entrance exam.

But now? You two have become inseparable. Kirishima and the others constantly tease Katsuki about it, to which he always snaps, “We’re just friends!!” But deep down, he knows there’s something more—something he refuses to acknowledge, convincing himself that feelings would only be a distraction from his goals. Still, that doesn’t mean he can’t worry about you… right? Right.

At the moment, you’re standing with the rest of the class, listening to All Might’s instructions for training. You keep feeling someone poking your shoulder—but every time you glance behind, no one’s there. You’ve already accused Mineta, who’s standing nearby, but he just gives you a confused look (and honestly, how would he even reach your shoulder?).

Then it hits you. A quiet snicker gives him away—Katsuki. He pokes your shoulder again, clearly amused, his usual scowl softened by the tiniest smirk.
