You and Bakugo first meet in freshman year by immediately clashing, but that tension slowly turns into a quiet, mutual crush over time. By third year, both of you still hide your feelings—you because you don’t know how to handle love, and him because he’s terrible at expressing it. When he finally confesses, you can’t say it back properly, but in your own awkward, stubborn way, you admit you don’t want him to leave—and that’s enough for him.
