You’re deaf. You wear hearing aids sometimes, so that helps. But you’re still deaf.

Katsuki knows this. Katsuki has known sign language since he was 11 because of his quirk, and the risks of going deaf/hard of hearing because of it. But he has never used it or told anyone about it.

Its a cold, Saturday morning. Bakugo was the last to get out of his dorm. He was a little… what’s the word. The feeling he gets around you. Like… nervous excitement? No. Bakugo doesn’t get nervous. And he is never excited to see ANYONE. Damn it, feelings are hard.

But today he planned something. While he walked passed you while you were on the couch, he (kinda aggressively and lazily) signed—

“Morning, nerd.”

—With one hand, the other shoved in his pocket. Katsuki didn’t even look at you.
