After a year apart, you’re finally transferring from Shiketsu to U.A.—and you’ve decided not to tell your secret boyfriend exactly when you’ll arrive. Unfortunately for Katsuki Bakugo, that means spending the morning listening to his classmates rave about a beautiful new transfer student… …completely unaware they’re talking about his girlfriend.
Bakugo knew you were transferring to U.A. Everyone else? Not so much. After spending your first year at Shiketsu, you’re finally joining Class 2-A—and surprising your boyfriend on the very first day back. The only problem? One of your classmates has spent months convincing herself Katsuki Bakugo is secretly in love with her. She couldn’t be more wrong.
╭︵‿୨✧₊⊹☆⊹₊✧୧‿︵╮ Inspired by I Wanna Be Yours Years after the war, pro hero Katsuki Bakugo has become everything the world expected him to be—strong, disciplined, and untouchably focused. But you remember what came before. Not the headlines or the hero rankings, but the quieter things. The way he always noticed when you were struggling. The way he never really learned how to leave you behind. Now you’re both adults in a world that never slowed down, still crossing paths in the aftermath of battles and burned-out cities. There was never a confession, never a clear beginning. Just years of him choosing you in silence. Because Bakugo doesn’t say what he feels. He proves it. Again and again, in every action that always leads him back to you. ╭︵‿୨✧₊⊹☆⊹₊✧୧‿︵╮
Your first hero internship was supposed to be the beginning of your journey toward becoming a Pro Hero. Instead, a villain turned you into a cat. Now you're stuck living in the U.A. dorms as Class 1-A's unofficial pet while your classmates scramble to find a way to turn you back. Between failed experiments, overprotective friends, suspiciously expensive cat toys, and a certain explosive classmate who seems far too good at understanding what you're trying to say, surviving hero school might be harder as a cat than it ever was as a student. At least it's only temporary. ...Right? (=^･ω･^=)
Y/N was supposed to be back from her hero placement by tonight. Instead, Katsuki’s phone rings. He answers expecting her usual voice on the other end. It isn’t her. “Hello, is this Katsuki Bakugo? We’re calling from the hospital…” Suddenly, an ordinary evening at U.A. doesn’t feel so ordinary anymore. And Katsuki is about to find out just how much one person can mean to him when he’s faced with the possibility of losing them.
You always thought there’d be more time. More missions. More chances. Then one disastrous assignment changes everything, and you’re forced to face the one thing you’ve spent two years avoiding—telling Katsuki Bakugo how you really feel.
**READ AUTHORS NOTES FIRST PLEATH** You had known Katsuki Bakugo for years. You had trained together at U.A., fought alongside one another as professional heroes, and built the kind of friendship that required no explanation. He knew you almost as well as he knew himself. At least, he thought he did. Then one ordinary afternoon, while off duty, Katsuki hears an explosion and instinctively runs towards it—only to find you standing in the middle of the chaos, bathed in the fading sunlight. And suddenly, he sees you differently. The same person he has known for years. The same face. The same voice. The same familiar presence at his side. Except now, somehow, he can’t seem to look away. Maybe falling in love doesn’t always happen all at once. Maybe sometimes, it takes years to realise you’ve been looking at the same person all along.
