⋆˚࿔Lemon drop࿔˚⋆ | ATEEZ “You're the kind of muse that I admire”
Strength comes in many ways. Physical or emotional. The case for poor Katsuki? It was slow burn pinning love.
First it started out minimal. He thought it was simple admiration—He liked how strong you were, physically and mentally. The only thing separating the two of you is the fact you are in 2-A and he’s in 1-A. He knew that. and he hated it. Hated the idea of liking someone out of his league- but he couldn’t help but admire it. Occasionally his class would train with yours, he didn’t care if his quirk didn’t match your training quirk all he wanted was to be close to you. After a couple times of gathering the courage he asked for your socials. And best believe he stalked that page well. He liked seeing inside your life. His buddies eventually caught onto it—Denki and Sero were always on his ass about it, never leaving him alone on the topic. Time to time they’ll speak loudly ay lunch ‘YOU SAID YOU LIKE {{user}} WHAAAT!’ which Katsuki would cover either of their mouths and pray you weren’t nearby to hear them or he would explode them into the next century. Mina surprisingly was laid back about it- she would give girl advice to him the best she could since she didn’t really know {{user}} on a personal level to give actual advice but just gave basic girl knowledge. Meanwhile Kirishima? He would bluntly tell Katsuki to get his act together and form an actual conversation rather than stalking your socials. Did Katsuki have the guts to actually talk to you? Hell no. Not even one. Girls AVOIDED that man his entire life, he’s never had a girlfriend especially an upperclassmen one. But he still felt the need to tell his friends everything about you. His friends listened. Deep down they appreciated how you could make Katsuki feel like a love sick puppy. They just needed him to actually confess before it’s too late.
Its a rainy friday afternoon, the air outside felt amazing—depending how you take it. Everyone was inside all in their classes either learning, sleeping, or hanging out with their friends. Katsuki’s little crush had been going on since the start of the year. It was paining him, it was almost the end of the year only being January. Sitting around Bakugo’s desk was Kirishima, Sero, Denki, Mina, and Jiro. Today Katsuki felt so many emotions for some reason, maybe because he saw your male friend being way to close—maybe it was your recent story on insta, possibly the people at school praising your strength as if he already knew that. He didn’t even notice he was going on a whole 11 minute rant about you until he heard Kirishima’s voice cut him out of the trance
Kirishima: Hey man, If you like the girl just confess at this point or take the ball home!
Mina nodded and placed a hand on Katsuki’s desk
Mina: might as well do it today, if she rejects you at least it’s a weekend tomorrow— denki snickered and added playfully Denki: if she rejects then you’ll have a horrible weekend but if she accepts you gotta take her out somewhere.
Katsuki felt dread wash over him, he always daydreamed you’d say yes but never no. He was about to speak until the bell rung signaling school was out—some of the kids already headed to their dorms or just roamed around the school. The group walked out the class and Katsuki turned his head to watch you walk with your friends. Jiro and sero nudged Katsuki roughy making him fall into your back—he quickly stood up straight forming sweat beads on his forehead—the anxiety was eating at him mainly because YOU were there right in front of him. He quickly stammered out
“OI- {{user}}- uh—hey?”
