"Kacchan, Kacchan!" Katsuki ignored the calls from Izuku as the class dispersed from being dismissed after a long day of training their quirks.
"Kacchan wait!"
Katsuki loses his short temper and does an about face, small explosions firing in his palms "WHAT IS IT, you damn nerd?"
Izuku stops from running after Katsuki and his smile disappears, slightly intimidated now.
"Oh, y-you d-dropped this." The green haired boy stutters while extending his arm out to the blonde, holding a notebook. Katsuki immediately blushes from embarrassment, his eyes wider now from panic. He snatched the notebook away from Izuku.
"DON'T TOUCH MY THINGS, DEKU!" Izuku stood idle now, wide eyed watching Katsuki turn away quickly and continue walking a little faster now towards his dorm room.
What was that reaction just then? Izuku thought to himself.
Relaxing now that the angry childhood friend of his is now farther away and almost out of sight, Izuku makes his way to the common room where Iida greets him over-enthusiastically as always, along with many others from class 1-A.

Katsuki, now in his dorm room, opens the notebook he had dropped earlier. In the back pages were news paper articles and pictures of the number one hero All Might and old class pictures of himself and Izuku as kids along with a few pictures with some other friends he used to have.
Katsuki, his face red now again, thinks about what awkward situation he would have been in if Izuku had seen it. This was a notebook his mom had put together for him years ago when he was younger and she must have slipped it into his bag thinking he would have wanted to bring it to his new dorm in school.
"Tch" He scoffed and tossed the notebook on top of some other books he had inside of his closet, "Morons" he thought of his mom and Izuku both.
To him, Izuku was more like a lost puppy who followed him around in awe just like any other kid did in school back then. Except more pathetic and quirkless. At least, until he applied for U.A. and miraculously aquired a powerful quirk similar to All Might's.
*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK* His thoughts were interrupted by a knocking on his door. Sighing, he then walks over and opens the door to see the spiky red haired guy from his class.
"Kirishima, what?" He said slightly scowling at the boy still irritated from his thoughts earlier of Izuku's new quirk. "Uhhh, oh, hey Bakugo!" He said after being distracted by the shirtless blonde who stood before him.
"Huh..?" Katsuki said quietly now aware that he noticed Kirishima was staring at his shirtless body for a few seconds, "What do you want, you spiky haired loser?" He scoffed, obviously irritated and confused.
"Well, you seem a little stressed" Kirishima laughed exposing his sharp teeth and charismatic smile, nervously rubbing the back of his hair.
Katsuki only replied with a blank face.
"Kaminari, and I were about to hit the pool. We got permission. Wanna join?" Slightly amused, Katsuki accepted.
--
When the three boys arrived at the pool they noticed a few others were already there. Tsu was swimming around like a natural, due to her frog-like abilities. Izuku and Uraraka were being lectured by Iida and training on the other side.
The three guys trained with each other until they were almost completely wore out and the others left. Exhausted, Kaminari suggested they hang out in the hot tub for awhile.
"So, Bakugo. What do you think about Uraraka?" Kaminari asked with a sly look on his face.
"Ew, no. What are you even asking?" Katsuki replied disgusted.
"I saw she was looking at you quite a bit earlier, haha." Kaminari laughed.
"Isn't that Izuku's girl though?" Kirishima asked.
"I dont know, and i dont care about that nerd and his little girlfriend." Katsuki replied.
"Well you cant blame her, you look very manly Bakugo." Katsuki's eyes widened at Kirishima's remark and Kaminari looked at the red head judgingly.
Katsuki remembers the way Kirishima looked at him earlier at his dorm and blushes a bit from the compliment.
"Okaaay? Anyway, im off. Ive got to finish settling in to my new room. See ya later!" Kaminari says with a smile and a wave to the other two boys.
"So.. Bakugo." Kirishima says and Katsuki looks up from the water, still blushing a little, "I think i know why Uraraka was really looking at you."
"What..?" Katsuki says confused.
"Its because YOU were watching Izuku." Kirishima says, smirking.
"That nerd is up to something, and im gonna figure out what it is. That quirk, it-" Katsuki starts explaining, staring off at the wall but is interrupted.
"But is that really all there is to it?" Kirishima says smirking still, making even more intense eye contact.
Katsuki's concentration is broken and he snaps back into reality, now ready to fight the red haired boy sitting next to him in the tub. "WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU GETTING AT?"
Katsuki stood up with his palms now exploding with fire. Kirishima uses his hardening quirk and laughs and puts his hands up in defense.
Katsuki's angry expression changes and he becomes embarresed and flusted as he notices Kirishima studying Katsuki's body like he did earlier, but now less subtle about it.
"You dont have to keep lying to yourself, Bakugo." Kirishima says calmly, looking up at Katsuki.
Katsuki stood stunned for a minute looking down at Kirishima, his blood red hair was wet and not so spiky anymore that it was flat and scattered around his face.
He looks kind of adorable like this.. Katsuki thought to himself and felt his face get hot.
"BakaaaaAA!" Katsuki insulted Kirishima and quickly left the hot tub and started walking aggressively to the exit but stops in his tracks, fuming with anger.
"Meet me tomorrow after class.." Katsuki says threateningly, and continues walking out of the pool area.
--
Back in his dorm for the night, Katsuki strips down to his boxers and lays in his bed. Staring at the ceiling, he can't stop contemplating what had happened today.
What was Kirishima trying to say to me exactly? What's with those looks he was giving me?
Kirishima and Katsuki became friends almost immediately after meeting. Kirishima was the only one he can really stand to be around more than the others. Everything seemed normal, until today. Something just felt off.
He thought about how Kirishima looked at him in the pool area earlier and started to feel his face get hot again. Not only that, but his stomach felt like it was turning in on itself.
He thought of the way his best friend looked up at him through his wet, dark red hair, his face level to Katsuki's waist. He thought about the way Kirishima's eyes studied his body today.
As he was getting carried away in thought, he noticed his boxers felt tighter and immediately sat up and put a pillow over his lap in embarrassment, even though it was only him in his own room.
He had panic written all over his face and his mind was racing.
What the FUCK.
He then quickly grabbed the cold water bottle on his nightstand and fumbled to get it open, then splashed it all over his face in a desperate attempt to make the hot and heavy feeling leave his body.
Not today, Satan. Katsuki doesn't lose to anyone, not even his own feelings.
He let out a short yell of frustration and threw the empty water bottle away across the room.
He changed his now wet and cold sheets and blankets and angrily forced himself to sleep, avoiding anymore thoughts about quirkless nerds or red haired losers.
