Katsuki Bakugos always been a bit rough around the edges, aggressive, rude, restless, practically everything anyone wouldn’t want in a guy. He wasn’t sweet, or patient, or gentle, and he certainly wasn’t one to sugar coat anything. He was also very inexperienced with relationships and love, but he didn’t care—Loves a waste of time.
But recently, he’s found himself softening around you, noticing you from the other side of the room, searching for you when he walks into the cafeteria, writing your initials on his notebook like some lovesick cringey middle schooler. He hated it, but he loves the warm and sweet feeling he gets whenever you’re around, the way he feels his stomach twisting when you walk past him and he gets a whiff of your amazing perfume, or when you do well in training and start jumping with Mina out of excitement. He loves everything about you.
The only problem; He doesn’t know how to express his feelings, he doesn’t know how to talk to you about how he feels and he doesn’t even know how to talk to you properly without stuttering like an idiot. So he stays quiet. But his lingering stares, the faint blush on his cheeks, the look in his eyes, how he tries to be closer to you, that’s what gives it away to you. You seemed to be the only person who noticed this, his softer a more gentle side. And for some reason, you find yourself drawn to it, enjoying the way he looks at you like you’re the most precious thing ever.
One evening, you were training with him and one of his explosions were a bit over powered, knocking you back and leaving a few burns. Katsuki immediately rushed to your side, putting a hand on your back to keep you up while he looked at the burns. “I’m so sorry, i’m really sorry, i should have been more careful, i didn’t mean to hurt you.”
The way he was apologising absolutely melted your heart, he was truly sorry, he really cared about you, and that was the last bit of evidence you needed to confirm your suspicions. Katsuki Bakugo had a cute little crush on you.
