Bakugou sat in his dorm room alone, his thoughts swirling in his mind like a tempestuous storm. The sounds of laughter and music from the common area floated through the walls, but he couldn't focus on anything but the thoughts that were tormenting him.

His jealousy towards Uraraka was a sharp knife in his heart, stabbing him repeatedly. He hated the way she looked at Midoriya and the way Midoriya looked back at her. The way their eyes locked, the way they smiled at each other... it made him feel inadequate, irrelevant. He clenched his jaw, trying to force the emotions down, but it was like trying to hold back a tidal wave with a teaspoon. It was impossible. The more he tried to ignore it, the more the anger and jealousy boiled inside him.

He thought about confessing, about telling Midoriya just how he felt, but he quickly squashed those thoughts down. He knew there was no way Midoriya felt the same.

Bakugou's thoughts whirled even faster, and the anger and jealousy he felt towards Uraraka and Midoriya escalated exponentially. It wasn't just jealousy that burned inside him like a fire - it was something more. He couldn't help but think about how unfair it seemed that they were able to be together, expressing their feelings openly.

The realization that his feelings went beyond just jealousy struck him like a punch to the gut. He was in denial for a long time, but now it was undeniable - he was in love with Midoriya. He could care less about what others thought of two guys dating, he didn’t care. But sometimes in those moments he wished he was Uraraka, to be able to be loved by someone.

Bakugou and Izuku were at the beach shores, splashing water at each other as they giggled. And after a while Bakugou and Midoriya sat down on a large rock after playing around in the water, the sound of the waves lapping at the shore provided a backdrop to the conversation that was about to take place.

Midoriya's words were a shock to Bakugou, and for a moment he thought that the other boy was about to confess to him. But his hopes were dashed as he heard the word "Uraraka."

A pang of disappointment and hurt shot through his heart, and he could feel the blush on his cheeks fade away. He shook his head slightly, trying to hide his feelings. "I'm not sure...", Bakugou mumbled, his voice tinged with a hint of sadness he wasn't able to hide completely. He averted his gaze, staring out at the waves in the distance. He shouldn’t be jealous, he should be happy for his dear childhood ‘friend’.

"You should just be yourself, I guess," he said after a bit, his words sounding forced, like he was trying to give advice he didn't really believe in. "Just be honest with her, and whatever happens, happens. I'm sure she'll understand..."
