Bakugo was sitting in the cafeteria sitting with the rest of the bakusquad when he noticed Deku's excited voice from two tables over. He glazed sideways trying not to seem too obvious, though he couldn't help but look, seeing Deku smile wide as Uraraka handed him a pack of strawberry pocky. Katsuki could feel the twinge of jealousy as he watched the scene, she made it look so easy-accepting smiles like that from him-and all Katsuki could do when Deku looked at him like that was prunch the stupid nerd and walk away.

"Hey, man. What're you looking at?" Bakugo broke from his train of thought, and looked up at Kirishima.

"What'd you say, shitty hair?" He gave a halfhearted agitated look as he stared at Kirishima.

"I asked what you were staring at? We were talking about training after lunch and normally by now you'd be yelling about how you were gonna crush everyone." Eijiro pinched his face trying to mimic Bakugo, and flailed his arms a little.

"Tsk. None of your damn business, shark week!" Bakugo hit his hand on the table as he got up and exited the cafeteria. Kirishima watched him walk away, he looked over to where he was sure Katsuki had been looking and saw Midoriya munching on his sweets and laughing with his friends, Eijiro gave a knowing sigh before continuing on with his lunch.


Izuku entered the class room the next day, nothing overly out of the ordinary as everyone chatted before the bell. As he approached his deck though he noticed Kacchan with his favorite treat sticking out of his mouth.

"Good morning, Kacchan! I didn't know you liked strawberry pocky, It's my favorite!" Izuku smiled wide hoping the blonde was in a good mood. Bakugo looked up as Deku and tsk'd.

"Well you can have the shitty things, they aren't nearly as good as sour candy anyway." Katsuki shoved the box towards him and turned away, resting his chin in his hand to hide the small blush rising on his cheeks. Izuku however couldn't hide the redness across his face, and the smile that grew.

"Tha… thanks, Kacchan!" Deku took the sweet and hopped into his seat, missing the small smile on Katsuki's face.


The next couple days were no different, Izuku would come into class and say hi to Kacchan, and Bakugo would shove the partially eaten box of pocky towards Deku while saying how they still taste like shit. On the third day though Deku came into class and sat in his seat without taking the snack that was shoved in his direction. Katsuki turned in his seat to see what the hell was wrong and saw Izuku with a small bag of sour candy in his hand, which happened to be Katsuki's favorite cola flavour.

"What the hell is that, Deku?!"

"Oh! Um… it's just the other day you said sour candy was better and so I thought I'd try some." Izuku smiled and scratched the back of his head, before popping one of the candies in his mouth- and immediately regretted it, his face twisting and the candy hit his tongue. Katsuki smirked, watching the different faces he made before finally swallowing.

"Really, Deku? Your face looks like shit. Give me those," Bakugo snatched the candy from his hand and shoved the pocky in it's place, "stupid fucking deku." He grumbled and shoved a bunch of candy in his mouth. Izuku smiled wide at how cute the site was, taking one of the pocky and lightly nibbling on it.


That change continued on in their little routine that they-Bakugo- had started. Izuku would bring in his candy and force down a couple before Katsuki would snatch them from his hand and place the partially eaten pocky in his hand. And if it didn't happen in the morning, then it would happen at lunch when Kirishima started inviting Deku and his friends to sit with them.

One lunch day in particular though, Krishima decided to have a little fun with the two. Their little candy exchange had already happened, so Eijiro looked at Izuku and smiled, "Hey, Midoriya, we should play the pocky game. Since you basically have a whole box there." Bakugo almost choked on his drink, looked between the two, agitation clear on his face.

"I… I guess… if….if that's what everyone wants to do." Izuku laughed nervously, the deep blush on his face reaching his ears.

"Of course it's not, you stupid shitty hair!!" Bakugo jumped in before Kirishma had time to respond.

"And why not, Bakubro? Izuku seems to be fine with the idea." Kirishma smiled at Bakugo innocently. But before anything else was said, Katsuki growled grabbing Izuku's wrist-a small squeak coming from the greenette- Kasuki dragged him all the way down the hall and around the corner before dropping to the ground, taking Deku with him.

"Kacchan? Are you okay?" Izuku spoke softly, trying not to set the blonde bomb off. Not that that was possible most of the time when it came to the freckled boy.

"Shark face is a fucking idiot!" Bakugo was obviously seething but Izuku couldn't help but giggle, he was just being so cute. This time he didn't miss the slight pink on the blonde's face.

"It was just a game, Kacchan." Deku smiled slightly at him and fiddled with his fingers. Katsuki continued to grumble, before looking over at Izuku with a thought that's been on his mind the last couple weeks. "Give me one of your stupid pocky."

Izuku paused for a second before handing him the strawberry stick. He watched as Katsuki took an aggressive bite, only leaving the plain end. He then offered Deku another sour candy, which Izuku accepted, trying not to be rude and winced as he tasted it. Bakugo finished his and watched as Izuku's face scrunched up with his eyes closed and saw his chance.

He kissed him. It wasn't gentle, he grabbed him by the face roughly and the only thing he tasted was his favorite candy. Izuku didn't even have time to react, by the time he realized what was happening, Katsuki had already pulled away. Izuku stared at his smirking face with wide eyes, his face feeling hot.

"Kacchan….. You stole my candy.."
