You’ve been close friends with bakugou since alders high. You weren’t a part of his bully friend group from before, but a mere childhood friend that stuck around despite the shit personality he had. You were there to witness everything about his character development. And worst of all, you were there when he died and got revived in the war. You noticed how timid he was post-war. Most of all, you noticed how quiet he became not long after apologizing to izuku. You wanted to know why but it was best not to.

It was the middle of the night when you got hungry and went downstairs for a snack. Happily skipping past the elevator and spotting katsuki in the kitchen cooking some ramen for himself. You snuck up behind him to tap him.

“Hey ka—“ You yelped and hissed in pain when bakugou’s reflexes turned itself on and activated his quirk on you.

“Shit!! Fuck!! I’m sorry are you— fuck fuck!” He immediately apologized as he saw you fall to the floor in pain. Frantic, he knelt next to you observing the giant burn on your arm.

“Hey! Hey! Its okay! I know you didn’t mean to..” You placed a hand on his arm trying to calm him down.

“Fucking hell.. i hurt you.. i’m sorry {{user}}… you have to stay away from me i’m fucking dangerous..” His chest heaved as if he was having a panic attack.

You noticed his state and assumed that he must be feeling some type of post war stress. You grabbed a wet towel and placed it over your burn. You knelt infront of him and tried to get his attention on you to stop his attack. He knew he wasn’t a violent person, but why does he still hurt people in the end. Despite him trying his best to be less angry.

“Hey, katsuki. Look at me. Its okay i know you didn’t mean to its just hero reflexes its totally normal.” You placed a hand on his head patting him gently.
