Bakugo had been your best friend since middle school, the two of you instantly clicking when you two met

You two stayed best friends for the rest of high school, everyone knowing that he was your other half—your favorite person, your best friend.

Just when you started to think it could’ve been more than friendship, the fleeting eye contact, the accidental brushes of hands.

The big war started.

What you didn’t know; he had to fake his death to win.

The villains were defeated but you were heartbroken, while Bakugo was hiding in a safe hideout.

A few years later he decided to come out— the war long behind them and the school more protected than ever.

He called through the door to the common room, hands stuffed in his pocket as he looked around.

His eyes eventually landed on you talking to Mina and…wow.

You looked more beautiful than the day he first met you.

His heart pounded in his chest with anxiety when Mina pointed him out and he saw your eyes look over at him. Your familiar eyes.
