My Hero Academia Imagines

Childish Whims (Bakugou Katsuki)

Bakugou Katsuki:

Small little legs happily ran behind a pair that were a bit taller. Another few running behind them. A cry of joy followed by a few gasps of awe from the remaining members of the party. And as four pairs of eyes watched as a head of ash blonde emerged from the pond, it was clear why he was their leader.

"And we can swim here all summer!" A much younger Bakugou cried, throwing his arms up and splashing water all around. "The trees keep people away, and the water is really nice too... it's like a secret base!"

"Ah! Kacchan is so cool!" Midoriya beamed, seeing his two other male companions next to him nodding in agreement.

"Bakugou is the best!"

"Leave it to Bakugou to find such a cool hangout!"

Bakugou smiled to himself as the attention and praise hit him like a healing spell, his legs feeling like they could allow him to float in the water until dusk. But, one voice was missing from the chatter, the one voice belonging to the person he had been trying to impress.

Though, being so young he wasn't aware he was trying to impress her. In his mind, he just assumed he was trying to be her favorite friend out of the bunch... he was kinda the best after all.

"What do you think (Name)-chan?" The wet boy spoke towards you.

You nodded to him slowly, holding your stuffed rabbit in front of your mouth, the worn out ears hanging at its side. Bakugou waited patiently for her to speak again, but instead, the little girl moved towards a little area of flowers.

Bakugou felt his chest fall, a slight pain having bubbled in. Did she not like the pond? Did we think this place was stupid? What if she didn't want to be his friend anymore cause of this place...?

"Look out!" One of his friends cried, jumping into the water next to him.

Several more splashes sounded and soon, Bakugou was among the other two boys in the pool. Deku was sitting at the edge, his feet tangling in, not wanting to get his clothes wet like the other boys. He was worried his mother would get mad if he came home soaking wet.

Bakugou happily played splash war with his friends for a while, and when they both had given up and forfeited to him, the sounds of Deku excitedly congratulating him, he was ready to climb out and dry off.

The summer sun was still high in the sky, his parents not expecting him back for a while. And since the other boys seemed occupied, his mind wandered back to (Name) and where she had gone and what she was doing.

His ruby hues searching the treeline until he spotted her sitting in a patch of flowers by herself. Her stuffed rabbit against a tree as she seemed to be working on something. Curiosity getting the best out of the blonde lion cub, he made his way over.

Bakugou sat down next to her with a thud, his heart pounding a bit fast as she continues to fumble around with her hands. He rose a brow, seeing her twisting and turning stems of flowers. He watched her for a minute, not saying anything, just watching silently.

"What are you doing?" He finally spoke, voice soft and curious.

"For you." (Name) told him, placing a bundle of flowers on his untamable locks.

"W-wha...?" BAkugou's face turned pink, touching and seeing the flowers were acting like some sort of crown on his head.

"It's for the best person I know." You told him. "Therefore only you can have it!"

Bakugou's dazed mind cleared, a bright smile coming to his features. She thought he was the best person in the world?! That was amazing! Sure he already knew he was... but knowing she thought the same made him want to jump for joy at the thought.

She made him feel weird... but he liked it. And he liked her. That's why she was the only girl to be allowed to hang out with him. Plus... she thought he was the best...and that made him feel so amazing.

"Ohhhh!" One of his friends called over to the two. "Bakugou and (Last Name) sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G!"

"What does that spell?" Deku asked, still trying to learn his letters and words.

Bakugou, however, did know what it spelled and his already pink face flushed bright red. He stood up, careful to not hurt the flower crown (Name) had made for him. He stomped his foot, pointing to his friends angrily.

"We were not kissing!"

"Bakugou's got cooties! (Last Name) gave him cooties!"

"Shut up! I'd never let (Name) kiss me! Kisses are gross!"

You listened to the boys continue to argue, only you and Midoriya remaining quiet. Bakugou getting more worked up by the second, though... he never once got mad at you or hurt your present to him. He was nice...

And that's why he was your favorite friend...

~~~~~

Bakugou's arm rested around your shoulder comfortably, his eyes wandering to his idiot friends who seemed to be having a laugh or two about some random thing. You gently scrolled through your phone, not paying much attention to the boys around you.

Bakugou sighed, tugging you a bit closer to him, trying to hide the fact that he was feeling a bit ignored by his girlfriend at this moment. Even his buddies seemed occupied with whatever joke they thought was hilarious.

You took notice of the ash blonde lurched closer, nearly having you sit in his lap, despite that the both of you were sitting in the UA cafeteria. Not the best place to be sharing a seat together... especially if your boyfriend had as little patience as Bakugou did.

You turned to look at him, raising a brow at the boy. He shrugged, face seeming to ask you what your problem was. You could only chuckle to yourself, and lean in close to the male who seemed to be strapped for your attention and affections.

Your rosy pink lips graced his cheek, making the male's skin turn the same shade. He didn't dare push you away though, possibly wanting this sweet gesture in the first place. However, you were nowhere done yet.

"Hmmm." You spoke, leaning in close to him, making sure only he could see and hear. "It's strange, isn't it?"

Bakugou clicked his tongue, deciding to take your bait. He was curious as to what stupid thing you'd say after all... "What the hell's so interesting, moron?"

You giggled, making his chest tingle. How nostalgic... but still as annoying as when he was five. Bakugou rolled his eyes, playfully pinching your cheek for you to tell him, as he hated being left in the dark.

You batted his hand away, looking back at him as you spoke. "It's just strange to think about how much you like these sweet little kisses now... because I remember vividly a tough boy telling his friends that 'kisses were gross'."

"Shut up...I was dumb as a kid..."

You snorted, pressing another kiss to his cheek, and then another and another. IT eventually stopped when Bakugou started to notice his friends chuckling at how awkward and red he was. He pulled you away, gritting his teeth.

"Stop it dumbass... you're too damn touchy..."

"At least it's not cooties this time, huh Katsuki?"

Bakugou groaned, looking at your smiley face, a thought passing letting him know he was screwed so much with this one. She was his worst everything... but not the bad kind. The kind that made her bad for his heart, his pride, and most importantly his embarrassing past.

But as she burst out laughing at his angry red face, he couldn't help but forgive her. His little puppy love of a crush having bloomed into a mature infatuation with her... and he couldn't help but become more and more invested in his feelings for her....

...because he loved her with all his heart. And for Bakugou Katsuki... if it was you... he'd make the exception... because you would always be the best damn thing to ever come out of his childhood.
