Bakugou Katsuki X Reader: Feelings.

Bakugou may or may not be OOC here.
~~~~~~~

Bakugou doesn't understand love.

Who he loves, what he loves, who he hates, and what he hates were clear to him. He loves his family (even though he doesn't show it much, especially to his mother), spicy food, his quirk, and himself. He hates anyone who orders him around, anyone who mocks him, anyone who talks back to him, anyone who thinks he's weak, and Deku.

When you came in, however, he became unclear.

He hates it, when you always make a retort at him. He hates it, when you always insult him. He hates it, when you always stand up for Deku.

That's all Bakugou hates, so why doesn't he hate you?

At first he didn't care about romance or that smushy, cheesy affection between two couples who don't even understand privacy and go full on out with public display of affection.

However, lately he's been thinking about the future with you. How he'll make you fall in love with him. How you will go on a first date with him, eating cake and have frosting on your mouth. He would wipe it off you and laugh. How you will be crying and laughing when he propose to you. The thought of it would always make him blush in anger. It was annoying to Bakugou, but he couldn't stop thinking about it.

He said he hates you, so why in the world would he be fidgeting right now, standing in front of you, having something to confess?

"L-Listen, you e-extra." He stammered, glancing away as he crossed his arms.

His heart was thumping. It was as if it wanted to be free from its cage.

'Your cage is my rib cage, you stupid heart.' Bakugou looked down angrily at his chest. 'You're going to kill me!'

His head followed the same rhythm. It was throbbing nonstop. To end the pain, he must tell you how he feels.

He needed to tell you his feelings. If you like him, then he'll be happy. He would probably want to kiss you and hug you, but that doesn't sound like him. He would probably do something stupid and embarrassing if you did. Whether be it shouting or crying, he wouldn't know until he tries.

However, on the downside, you could reject him. I mean, who would want to be with a boy who acts like a villain? Who would want to be with someone who wouldn't settle down for a moment to think about something else aside from becoming number one? Who would want to be with a boy who is angry all the time? There is an one in a million chances that you would actually like him.

You're the complete opposite of him, so how can he win your heart? He has the lowest chance out of all the boys in Class 1-A (well, probably except for Mineta), even Deku has a higher chance. In fact, he won't be surprised if you like Deku. You were always with him after all.

"Bakugou...? You need something?"

Bakugou pulled his lower lip between his teeth. He digged his nails deeper into his skin. It could start bleeding, but Bakugou didn't care. "Listen here, because...I'm going out say this once." He said after taking a deep breath. "...I....I hate you. So much."

You furrowed your eyebrows as you smiled confoundedly. "Uhm... okay...?"

"Hey, I'm finished yet!" He glowered. "I hate you, and I....I..."

This is it. The moment of truth. To know whether or not you would accept him, he would know after he says the next three words.

"I like you!" He spat it out with all of the courage he had trouble collecting. It was harder than facing with a villain. He can handle that thing with his eyes close. This, however, was much different. "Even if you're so annoying all the time, always pissing me off, I just— I like you, alright?!"

Silence was the only thing he can hear. He didn't know if you got the message or not, or if you misinterpreted the message. Surely, you would know that the word 'like' is something much more than it sounds?

Without having eye contact, Bakugou continued. "There! I SAID IT! don't make me say it twice!"

Silence was your response. He was confused. Are you deaf? Are you mute? Why weren't you answering? What was your reaction to his confession?

He won't know until he looks.

Slowly, he lifted his gaze to you.

You stood there, stunned. Unable to say anything at all.

"D-Don't just stand there! Say something!"

Nothing.

You couldn't really hear it, but Bakugou's voice slightly wavered. He should've known that you don't like him that way. How stupid of him to confess his feelings when it was obvious you don't like him.

Finally, you reacted. It was as if your brain shut down a moment ago. You blinked a few times, before relaxing your body. "Bakugou...I don't think I can return your feelings..."

Those words broke Bakugou. Of course. He knew the answer, yet it hit him like a ton of brick so badly. He knew it from the start, yet he did it anyways. Why was it so surprising to hear those words coming out of your mouth? Was he expecting a different answer? A different reaction?

"F-Fine. That's— pfft, that's nothing. I don't care." Bakugou lied.

He does care.

"Just...forget about this conversation and--"

"Bakugou, that doesn't mean I will never like you back."

Bakugou immediately closed his mouth, eyes as big as a dinner plate.

"W-Wait, what? This better be not some kind of a joke, or anything out of pity. Because I don't need your pity."

You simply smiled reassuringly.

"I don't like you, because...well....I'm not that close to you. I only know about your quirk and a little bit of your attitude, and that's about it. Plus, there's a chance that you'll not like me anymore once you learn more about me. Maybe if we can get to know each other first, things will change."

Bakugou stood there for a minute or so, and the longer he stayed silent, the more you felt awkward. Shifting your weight from one leg to another, you looked at Bakugou for a response.

"....Alright. I'll try." Bakugou grunted, looking away. "I'll try to get to know you better, but don't fall in love with anyone else till then, alright?!"

You giggled, "Alright, it's a deal."
