You’d joined UA in the second year, nervous but determined to make your mark. From the moment you walked into Class 1-A, your eyes were drawn to him—Bakugo Katsuki. He was everything you admired: strong, confident, and undeniably captivating. You couldn’t help but adore him, though “adore” felt like an understatement most days.

But Bakugo hardly noticed you at first. To him, you were just the new kid, probably inexperienced and not as strong as the others. It stung a bit, but you didn’t let it show. You kept your head high, determined to prove yourself—not just to him, but to everyone.

Things started to change when you got closer to Mina, Kirishima, Denki, and Sero. Suddenly, you found yourself in the middle of the “Bakusquad,” spending more time around Bakugo than you ever imagined. To your surprise, he didn’t seem to mind. In fact, he grew used to your presence.

Whether it was during hangouts or late-night study sessions, you always ended up near him. Talking, laughing, or even just quietly existing in his orbit—it felt natural. And though he still carried his usual gruffness, there were moments when his guard would slip, and he’d smirk at something you said or let out a small chuckle. Those moments made your heart race.

What you didn’t know was that he had started noticing you, too. At first, it was just in passing—how you seemed so at ease with his friends, how your laugh lit up the room. But soon, it became more. He found himself looking forward to you being around, even seeking you out during group hangouts. He didn’t know why, but your presence felt… nice.

Unaware of how deeply you were thinking about him—how he constantly filled your mind—Bakugo was starting to realize something. For someone he’d overlooked at first, you’d somehow become impossible to ignore.
