Katsuki Bakugou grumbled as he looked at his phone. He penciled in gym time for Kirishima and himself at precisely noon. Since he was the future number one hero he figured that he should arrive ten minutes earlier to get to work immediately. As Bakugou stepped into the weight room he spotted the girl with the orange hair from class 1B. He remembered seeing her name on the list just above him with some others and wasn't surprised that the lazy asses were in the changing room. The fact that this one was still working out proved that she may not be a total loser.

Still, Bakugou needed his time and this girl wasn't going to cut into any of it.

"Hey! Queen of the extras! The one with the huge man hands!"

She ignored him

A vein popped up on Bakugou's forehead. Was this girl seriously ignoring him? He moved in closer

"Hey! I'm talking to you!" Kirishima put his hand on his best friend's shoulder "Dude, chill out. She still has like five minutes here."

Bakugou grumbled back at his friend "She's apparently really fucking rude ignoring me like that!"

Kirishima rolled his eyes "I'll pretend I didn't hear that"

Bakugou marched up to the woman who had three minutes left in the gym to give her a piece of his mind "I know you think you're "too good" to talk to me since you're the class rep of your loser class but I just want you to know that I could've became the class rep for 1A easily! I just didn't give a fuck about babysitting the rest of the extras, got it? Alright so you can take your-"

Itsuka Kendou removed the earbuds from her ears before turning towards Bakugou "I'm done"

Bakugou flinched at her sudden desire to talk "W-What?!"

"My time is up...and also, you're boring me."

"The fuck you say?!"

"You're boring man. I had to turn my music up because you couldn't stop whining about everything. You're like Monoma, you know that?"

"Don't you fucking dare compare me to that-"

"Bye" Kendou lazily waved him a goodbye as she disappeared in the girls changing room. Bakugou just stood there astonished that this girl just sandbagged him. She didn't care about him at all. She didn't care about the future number one hero in all of Japan and that made him angry. Angry wasn't the right word for it, he got angry a lot but this was something much more than anger.

He was goddamn furious!

Kirishima noticed his best friend standing dumbfounded for several minutes and walked over to him "Hey man, you alright? You seem pretty shook…"

Bakugou exhaled a hard breath out of his nostrils "I'm fine Shitty hair, let's just work out…"

Kirishima wasn't convinced but he felt that it would be better to just drop it all together.

As they were working out Bakugou couldn't help but keep thinking about the conversation he had with Kendou. Aside from Deku, nobody got him as aggravated as she did. The way that smug face looked at him like he was a damn extra and not the strongest person in the school. The fact that she ignored him when he was talking to her. The way her beautiful face curved into a smile as she told him that he was boring-

Wait, what?!

Bakugou was so surprised by the rogue thought that he forgot that he was bench pressing and the weights almost crushed his chest before a frantic Kirishima lifted it off of him

"Yo, what the fuck was that?!"

It took Bakugou several moments to catch his breath "It...It was fucking nothing shitty hair."

"Uh-huh, so you just like the rush of almost killing yourself like an idiot?"

"It won't happen again…"

"It never happened before and that's why I'm worried! You've been sloppy since we came here and don't try to lie because I noticed. The only reason why I helped you as fast as I did was because I knew sooner or later you'd fuck up. You wanna tell what's up?"

"Nothing! Even the greatest of heroes have off days, Shitty hair. Tell you what- I'm not feeling anything today so let's just cut this short. Besides, you could go back to Round face's room and go suck face with her."

Kirishima felt his cheeks heat up when his best friend mention his girlfriend "You sure you wanna leave now? We have like twenty minutes left."

"Nah, I'm good…"

The next day, Bakugou spent some time looking for Iida only to find him in the school library with his head between the pages of some novel. When Iida noticed him, the speedster noted how extremely random it was for bakugou to meet him so early in the morning.

"You know Kendou, right?"

"Indeed I do. Do you have a problem with her?"

"Yeah! That smug prick thinks she's so much better than me because she's the class rep of her shitty class! Can't you tell her that that fucking air of superiority she gives is so fucking annoying-" Bakugou noticed that Iida was still reading away

"Hey, Four eyes! Did you even hear me?!"

Iida looked up from his novel "I believe everyone in this library heard you…It sounds like you think about kendou quite a lot."

Bakugou nervously scoffed "In your dreams Four eyes! It's not like I laid awake last night thinking about her-" Bakugou's hand slapped over his mouth as Iida raised a single eyebrow in interest.

"That was quite telling…"

Bakugou's shoulders slumped "Okay fine...I may have a slight crush on her. It's just the way she completely didn't give a fuck about me; kinda hot, you know?"

Iida's face scrunched up in confusion "I don't…? So I figured that you came here to ask for advice on how to woo her?"

"Well you two seem to hang out a lot...Come to think of it...Are you guys like…?"

Iida understood what Bakugou was implying "We're both class reps, so it's a given that we meet up frequently and we're just friends, I assure you. In fact, you of all people should know that my heart belongs to another…"

"Yeah...I guess you're right. Any idea of how I can get her to not hate me after I yelled at her?"

"You could apologize sincerely if you're serious about your affections towards Kendou. She trains in the gym on Saturday since there is no sign in times during the weekends. You can catch her there."

"Alright, thanks man" Bakugou bid him a farewell before walking out of the library.

...Just in time to miss kendou who was several yards away looking at some auto magazines.

"Did you hear what Bakugou said about you?"

"Did I! That guy has a crush on me!"

"How do you feel about that?"

"Well he's not bad looking and I really think the confidence is nice. The anger issues could get annoying but he seems to regret his shit talking."

"What are you going to say to him?"

"I guess I'm gonna tease him a bit more, you know really make him squirm"

"That's quite malicious…"

"He's into me because I didn't care about his bluster, he might like that stuff."

"I have to admit I never thought of the idea of you and Bakugou as a couple"

"You're one to talk. I didn't know your type was stacked and blonde, seemed more of Mineta's type don't ya think?"

Kendou giggled when she saw Iida glare at him "I'm just kidding you goof! But thanks for telling Bakugou to meet me at the gym."

Iida sighed "It's not problem. Now we should really talk about the field trip both of our classes are supposed to attend next month!"

Kendou nodded in agreement

Bakugou spotted Kendou doing stretches alone in the gym. He silently thanked whatever deity that was kind enough to have him and Kendou be the only two people in the room. It took him a couple moments to work up the nerves to walk up to her.

"Hey Man hands-er, Kendou!"

Kendou looked over to him and shot him a smile and Bakugou felt that he was going to melt

"Hey, you called me by my name instead of your usual dumb nicknames! What's up? And where's Kirishima? You always tend to hang with that guy."

"Shitty hair is on a date with Round face today."

"Kirishima is dating Uraraka? Huh...so anyway, what do you want to talk about?

Bakugou looked down at the ground "I...I just want to apologize for being a dick a couple days back. I had no reason to act like such an asshole. So let me make it up to you by buying you a cup of coffee!"

Kendou was honestly taken aback by his offer "Uh...thanks but this is random…"

"My hag of a mom always does shit like this for my old man whenever she fucks up and wants to apologize. I figured I should try something like that"

Kendou honestly thought it was pretty sweet Bakugou seemed like such a momma's boy (despite calling her a hag) but she didn't want to sound too into him already."

"Alright, It's a crime to turn down free coffee so I'm down."

The two found themselves sitting in a local cafe soon afterwards. The server approached them and asked them what they would like.

"Black coffee" they both answered simultaneously before awkwardly glancing at each other. The server simply nodded and left them.

"You like black coffee, too?" Kendou asked, bewildered

"Yeah...I don't like that sweet shit."

"Same here. It also allows me to go first in line whenever my friends and I go to a coffee place. Setsuna and Pony always order some macchiato crap that I just can't understand."

That statement earned a chuckle from Bakugou "Fucking tell me about it! The extras in my class are the same way! The worst part is they have their complex as fuck drink preferences memorized while they can't memorize their fucking school work!"

"That sounds about right…"

"You're the class rep right? I gotta say I'm sorry that you have to deal with Four eyes that much."

"Oh? I thought you were friendly with him considering you helped him score his current girlfriend."

Bakugou waved off her statement "I just did that because she kept whining about not having a boyfriend to me…"

"He seemed to appreciate it because he told you where to find me…"

Bakugou's face fell "...So that fucker was playing stealth wingman, huh?"

"To be fair- everyone in the library heard you pining over me. Including me."

"W-Wait...You were in the library?"

Kendou grinned "Uh-huh" then she put on a deep voice, imitating Bakugou "it's not like I laid awake last night thinking about her" before laughing "I know I'm pretty irresistible but I didn't know I could do that to you!"

Bakugou felt his cheeks heat up so much he almost pulled a Todoroki and burst into flames "Fine...you got me!"

"You don't have to get so flustered. I think it's cute that such a "badass" like you gets so confused by his feelings because let's face it- I could tell that I'm your first crush.

Bakugou crossed his arms indignantly "What do you mean?"

"You're acting like a freakin' kid who had gone through life thinking girls have cooties finally seeing a cute girl and you don't know how to deal with it."

"Hey! That's not...completely true."

"And you're already at the denial stage"

"Okay, maybe I think you're pretty cool don't let it get to your head, got it?"

Kendou rolled her eyes "Oh man, I was just going to call my parents and brag about how the great Katsuki Bakugou decided to give me the time of day!"

"I mean I wouldn't mind if you bragged-"

"That was sarcasm"

The coffee they ordered finally arrived and two took their first refreshing sips before Bakugou spoke once again.

"Tell you what- we should be gym buddies. Shitty hair needs more time with Round face and I need a spotter "

"I know how you feel...Sometimes I feel like a third wheel around Tetsutetsu and Pony"

"That's fucking great! If things work out well, we could move past gym buddies and become something greater!"

"That's not a bad idea…"
