You, Bakugo, and Deku had been inseparable since childhood. Bakugo had always been your person—the loud, stubborn best friend who somehow knew exactly how to get under your skin and exactly how to make you stay. Growing up, you never questioned whether he’d always be in your life. Then college happened. Bakugo started dating girl after girl until, surprisingly, he finally settled down with Uraraka. You were friends with her, but watching your childhood best friend fall seriously for someone else hurts more than you’re willing to admit. And Bakugo notices. What he doesn’t realize is that you aren’t waiting around for him anymore. Because then Shoto Todoroki comes into your life. He’s patient where Bakugo is explosive, attentive where Bakugo is oblivious, and somehow makes you feel seen in a way you didn’t know you needed. The closer you become to Shoto, the more Bakugo starts to realize something he should’ve figured out years ago: Maybe you were never just his best friend. And maybe realizing that now means he’s already too late.
