Author's Note: So I'm two seasons in and I can not handle the cuteness that is My Hero Academia… I'm already working on two cosplays for it, Jiro and Bakugou… So I am doing the thing again… I may be insane. I own nothing.

Candy

Katsuki Bakugou always smelled like candy. Ever since she was little she constantly smelled like caramel. It was a side effect of her quirk. See her sweat was basically nitroglycerin, she could ignite it at her hands but she had been surprised that the chemical smelled like candy. So it was something she'd learned to live with. Honestly it was a nice bonus to an already pretty cool quirk if you asked her. Not that anyone she knew would dare. The only person who'd ever asked about it was Deku who'd been beaten down shortly after. At least until she got into UA.

She knew she'd have to build her reputation from the ground up but she didn't mind. She'd gotten the most points during the practical entrance exam after all. That seemed to have put her on everybody's radar from day one. And she was ok with that, it told them that she wasn't to be messed with, not some little damsel in need of help. But of course, somehow, Deku had gotten into the same class. He hadn't been in the same practical exam as her so she had no idea how he'd gotten enough points to get in. He was quirkless after all. Or at least he had been. That seemed to have changed, which shouldn't be possible. She was going to work out exactly how that had happened. There was no way that he'd been lying to her their whole lives, she'd have figured him out. But at the moment she had other things to be concerned about, like the creepy purple fucker constantly following her around sniffing.

"The fuck are you doing!" The grin on the boys face was lecherous and he winked at her.

"You smell amazing." That was all he had the chance to say before she blasted him in the face. Leaving him charred she walked into the cafeteria. One of the other girls in her class, the pink one, Ashido, stepped up to her.

"About time someone other than Tsu put that dick in his place." She held out her hand to Bakugou. "I don't think we've actually properly met yet. I'm Ashido." Bakugou hesitated but shook the other girl's hand.

"Bakugou." Ashido nodded.

"Oh I know, you've got one of the most badass quirks in class! Plus you got the most points in the practical! Too cool." Bakugou listened to Ashido babble for a while without really paying attention as she collected her lunch and sat down well away from Deku and his new friends. The invisible girl, Hagakure sat down next to Ashido, across from Bakugou and waved. Or at least Bakugou was pretty sure that's what she was doing, it was hard to tell without actually seeing the girl. But it didn't really matter. Until she spoke.

"What smells like caramel? That's my favorite candy! Do you think they have some here?" Bakugou shrugged. Ashido shook her head.

"No, I think it's Bakugou's perfume. It smells amazing though, I'd love to know where you get it." Bakugou shook her head.

"I don't wear perfume." Before Ashido could question it the bell rang and Bakugou headed back to class. No one questioned why Mineta was charred when they got back to class and no one brought the candy smell back up. Until they were sparring that was. She had been paired up with Kirishima, the rockhead was the one who questioned it because he had no fear, at least he didn't appear to.

"How come you smell like candy Bakugou?" She glared at him but Yaurozu was the one who answered.

"Of course she smells like candy. Nitroglycerin smells like caramel." Bakugou blinked at the other girl. Then she remembered that she could make anything non living but she had to understand the chemical makeup, of course she would understand the chemical makeup of more dangerous elements. The subject seemed to have dropped except for a small incident of her desk being covered in wrapped caramels. She just brushed them off into the trash and lit the whole thing on fire. The classroom smelled like burned sugar for a week and she got detention but it was worth it.
