Bakugo Katsuki has never been known for losing. As one of the most infamous guys in Alpha Sigma, he’s used to getting whatever—or whoever—he wants. So when his fraternity brothers make a bet that he can’t get the one girl who couldn’t care less about him to actually date him, Bakugo doesn’t hesitate. Challenge accepted. The problem? Y/n isn’t impressed by his reputation, his flirting, or his ego. But after Mina drags her to one of the frat’s parties, Bakugo finally gets his chance. What starts with a few flirtatious conversations quickly turns into late-night texts, unexpected hangouts, jealousy, stolen moments, and feelings that Bakugo refuses to name. Because somewhere along the way, the bet starts becoming less important. And y/n starts becoming something he never planned for. Then Shoto Todoroki enters the picture. Unlike Bakugo, Shoto isn’t playing any games. He knows what he wants, and he isn’t afraid to make it clear. Suddenly, Bakugo isn’t worried about winning anymore. He’s worried about losing her. But every game has rules. And eventually, y/n is going to find out that the relationship she thought was real started with a bet. Because the hardest part of falling for someone isn’t realizing you love them. It’s finding out they had a reason to make you fall in the first place.
