information you may need is that this is a quirkless AU. It follows the same lore as my singing academia (another book I wrote) but not the same timeline. Thank you.

"She's clearly into me."

BRIGHT, INVADING LIGHTS danced over the large sum of people gathered for the dance department's party. Every person in the crowd was either smiling, dancing, or loudly conversing...almost all of them intoxicated.
Bakugou Katsuki stood towards the center of it all, surrounded by his friends as they all enjoyed themselves. When the dance department held a party, they were usually pretty large, filled with teens and alcohol that lived the ideal lifestyle of going to U.P.A.A.
Yueei performing arts academy had many different departments...dancing, singing, photography, art and many more. Each department would go to the other's parties and enjoy themselves almost every weekend, being able to hold them in the dorms without raising any suspicion with the teaching staff. It was a normal thing, and everyone mostly assumed that the teachers must know that the teens would be consuming alcohol, but as long as they were safe on campus nobody was truly getting hurt.
So there the blonde boy stood, nearly top of his year group for the dance academy, specializing in hip-hop. Surprisingly, the boy wore a smile as he danced with his friends comfortably. Denki, Kirishima, Mina and Sero. They were all in the dance department as well, having spent three years together.
The third years were enjoying themselves, relieved to let loose.
Before long, Sero grabbed Bakugou's shoulder, shaking him slightly. "Wheres Kami!?" He asked over the lost, bass boosted beats drilling into their ears. The blonde looked over, realizing that Kaminari was in face gone. He narrowed his eyes, also seeing that Kirishima was missing as well.
"The fuck?" He said with a slight laugh, not knowing how the two could disappear so quickly. The only remaining ones were Mina, Sero, and Bakugou himself. He stared at the pink haired girl, her tan skin glowing in the fluorescent light as she smiled wide. She was talking tot someone, someone unknown to Bakugou. She was also blocking them, Bakugou only being able to see their (H/c) hair.
"Oh, (Y/N)!" Sero shouted with a huge grin, pushing Bakugou's shoulder so he could greet the girl.
As Mina moved to allow Sero to speak, Bakugou felt his world shift.
Bakugou never believed in that love at first sight bullshit. It was, in fact, bullshit after all. he spent his high school life hooking up with random girls at parties and either being taken to their dorm or taking them to his dorm after some party for senseless fun. He rarely approached women for the offer, they usually came over to him.
But with this girl...he couldn't remember what name Sero just said...but she was different. Her (s/c) skin looked beautiful to Bakugou, his eyes not being able to stay away from lingering to her outfit. The party was rave themed, her outfit fit accordingly. She had a red fishnet top on, a smaller black tank top on top of it to cover her chest. Checkered pants covered her legs and she wore colorful socks, glitter splashed over her arms and face.
Mina wore a similar outfit, neon colors flashing with the lights.
Bakugou himself wore a loose tank top, the sides cut down extremely low and bright white shorts. He wore some random bandana Kirishima had just to somewhat relate to the theme, and Mina made them all bracelets for fun.
"Hey Sero!" the beautiful girl chimed, throwing herself into the boy for a hug. Katsuki was stunned, not being able to introduce himself as he watched the girl pull away from Sero and jump around, screaming along the lyrics with his friends. Katsuki clutched his drink in his hand, eyes staying on her body.
He nearly choked once Mina turned her around, bending her over and forcing the girl to throw it back on the girl. It was average party behavior, girls getting extremely comfortable as boys wished they were one of them. And god, how Katsuki wished he was in mina's position.
So, as any average teenager would do, he shook his head, snapping himself out of his trance. If he wanted this girl, he was gonna get her. So, with a confidence t step forward, he sent a knowing look to Mina.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, now pressed up against the girl who had her eyes closed. She shook her head, but Katsuki just took that as a sign that she didn't want Katsuki to hook up with one of her friends.
Katsuki leaned forward, next to the girls ear so she could hear him loud and clear over the music. "I'm Katsuki," he said, making the girl open her eyes and gasp slightly. She pulled her face away, eyes wide with excitement. "You're that third year, aren't you!? Katsuki Bakugou!?" She shouted with glee, not being able to see Mina pinch the bridge of her nose for the impending doom about to come.
"Yeah, I am," He stood tall, much taller than the girl in front of him. He had grown a significant amount through high school, now taller than most of his friends. She smiled wide, excitement bubbling inside her. "I'm (Y/N) (L/N)!" She explained back with a enormous grin. Katsuki had heard her first name before, he wasn't sure where.
Mina leaned forward, "Second year, ring a bell?" She asked, making the boy shrug.
"Heard it before," he said back, looking back to the girl with a smirk. She couldn't help but smile back. She looked up the the blonde in so many ways, she had reached the top of her class to just maybe get on his radar.
The girl watched his crimson eyes, her heart unintentionally speeding up. So, with another confident strike in Katsuki's heart, he faced the girl entirely. "So, why don't-"
"Katsuki! You're finally meeting (Y/N)!" A loud, breath voice spoke. The girl straightened up, grinning as Kirishima came over in hilarious attire. He wore fishnets on his arms, his sweatshirt sleeves sloppily cut off and plain grey shorts. He had some colorful neon paint on his face that glowed under the LED lights of the room, his sharp teeth in a huge smile.
Katsuki watched as Kirishima walked over to the girl, putting his arm around her shoulders. Confusion bolted into his brain before he saw the red head bring her face over, bringing her into a short kiss.
Katsuki's word crumbled around him in that very moment. He knew shitty hair currently had a thing with someone, but he never cared to meet her. Now knowing it was the girl Katsuki thought moments ago was the one to prove love at first sight to be correct. He felt idiotic, falling for this girl so easily.
But everything vanished once she pushed him away bashfully, looking to Katsuki with a sorry gaze.
She's clearly into me.
Was the only thought in Katsuki's mind. He actually wasn't the only one who thought it, Kaminari and Sero giving Mina a look that read 'oh fuck.' The red head started to get clingy over the next few minutes, hands secure around her waist as she blushed profusely. Katsuki hated the sight of it, his blood boiling at his best friends next words.
"This party is getting lame," He shouted primarily to his girlfriend. Nobody would have heard it unless they were reading Kirishima's lips, which Katsuki's eyes were staring daggers into. "Wanna come back to my dorm?" he asked, his arms bringing her ass into his hips. She laughed loudly, understanding the memo as she nodded. "Sounds fun, can you get my jacket though? I don't know where you put it when you took it," she said. The boy nodded, eagerness filling him as he turned on his heels and jetted through the crowd.
Katsuki looked around. Kaminari was hooking up with some random person, Katsuki didn't even let his eyes linger long enough to know if it was a girl or boy, and Sero and Mina were flirting. He groaned, the two always had sexual tension, plus they always fooled around with each other...but neither of them asked the other out yet.
Luckily they were distracted as Katsuki moved slightly towards (Y/N). She looked up with a smile, her eyes reading nothing but 'please fuck me right now' in Katsuki's mind. Now, he was truly the only one seeing that, it was really only admiration in her eyes. He leaned forward, knowing the affect he had on women and keeping his next few words vague.
"I don't know why you stick around with guys like him, you could do much..." his grand grazed her waist, "Much better."
The girl nearly died right then and there, a bright red blush on her cheeks. She chuckled nervously, not able to say the words on her mind as Kirishima ran up, bear hugging her with her coat. She shook out of her daze and thanked the boy, slowly pulling it on as she kept her eyes scanning Katsuki.
Well, at least his plan worked.
Kirishima grabbed the girls hand, saying goodbye to his friends. Kaminari separated from making out with the stranger for five seconds to get out a "Have fun fucking your girlfriend!" that made everyone laugh, except (Y/N) and Katsuki.
The words made Katsuki feel slightly jealous, eyes meeting the girl's one last time before she was pulled through the crowd. As much as she wanted to think of her boyfriend, she couldn't.
(Y/N) (L/N) could only think of Bakugou.
