AN: CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T GOTTEN TO EPISODE 9/CHAPTER 12!

'I tackled him…

To the ground.

Spaced out staring at his shitty cute face multiple times.

We even grappled for hours.

Lost track of time, and sparred two hours past the end of class.

And he still hasn't a damn clue I like him.

Deku is the most oblivious fucking nerd in the world.

If it had been anyone else, I wouldn't be nearly as invested.

…Thank the gods he's a fucking idiot sometimes.'

Last Thursday had been a whirlwind of emotions for Katsuki, and he couldn't be happier that Deku had been chosen as his partner. Though he was shit scared of the rest of the world finding out that the bomber was in fact gay. He was loving the easy reason to spend one on one time with his crush. It wasn't easy for Katsuki to show his emotions, especially acting on them in a positive way. But this was definitely starting to give him the chance to maybe pursue at least a less painful friendship for all involved?

Katsuki was thrown from his thoughts as a press member jostled him, probably not recognizing that he was a student just yet. Scoffing at the inconsiderate actions of the paparazzi trying to get a whiff of All Might, the bomber slipped into the school.

This was getting ridiculous. The press had been camped out for about a day now, since they'd found out about the #1 hero getting a job at Yuuei. Katsuki thought they'd be more thankful and less obnoxious, but how fucking wrong that thought was.

"Fucking vultures."

The bomber murmured to himself as he walked towards the 1-A classroom. Something bad was probably going to happen soon.

There were too many hours in the fucking day for the bomber. Katsuki sat in Aizawa's class twiddling his thumbs and resisting the urge to set off mini explosions along his fingertips. This class representative stuff was bullshit. Katsuki didn't give a damn about who was chosen, his vote towards the nerd being a complete whim. The bomber certainly hadn't expected it to be the reason he'd actually get chosen.

Point blank, now that Katsuki was out of the running? He was bored. Interest completely lost, his being instead itched to be doing something more active. His last work time with Deku had been perfect. They'd sparred for hours, and the little shit had made more progress than he would have ever dreamed possible.

It's like his elementary school crush that had just magically fucking appeared finally made sense. After ten years of outright denying his attraction to the hero obsessed boy, Katsuki was finally willing to admit it. However, the bomber admonished the fact that it took Deku receiving a quirk for him to accept it. At this point, the bomber felt he didn't deserve his nerd's affections. Their past was filled with more bad than good at this point.

"…Bakugou. Bakugou Katsuki… Were you even paying attention?"

Snapping out of his thoughts at the sound of Iida's voice, Katsuki focused more intently at his spot on the chalk board. Finally noticing that Aizawa-sensei and Deku were no longer occupying the space in front of him, the bomber snapped his attention to the uptight student's face.

"The fuck do you need?" Katsuki snarled at Iida. Not wanting to interact with him if he could help it, the bomber grabbed his bag and stormed out of the classroom. Lunch and then All Might's class time. Absolutely perfect.

Slipping away towards the stairs to the roof, Katsuki allowed himself a quick smile. Deku should know by now to meet him at the roof, so it was only a short thirty minutes before the bomber would get to see his nerd.

Break

It wasn't long into Yuuei's lunch break that the alarm sounded.

"There has been a Level 3 security breach. All students please evacuate outdoors promptly. I repeat-"

Katsuki's heart leapt into his chest. What the fuck was a Level 3 security breach. Why didn't he read the god damn handbook so he knew these things? The bomber was already outside, but where would everyone else go. Would students come here? Would Deku come to the roof?

Katsuki didn't believe so, but he had the urgent feeling to find the status of the school's situation and safety. Jumping to his feet, he ran to the sides of the roof, using a succession of quick explosions to increase speed.

Scanning the edge of the area, the bomber honed in on the state of Yuuei's wall at the entrance. It was destroyed, and somehow the press had broken through, invading the steps of the school. A breath Katsuki didn't know he was holding released. Izuku should be fine then right?

Right?

A nervous energy filled the usually confident bomber, as he wondered how Deku was doing. But with the known knowledge that lunch was nearly over, and seeing the police beginning to arrive at the scene, Katsuki began to feel calmer. He just needed to wait until the panic dissipated. Then Izuku would show his shitty face on the roof. He'd have to.

So Katsuki waited.

And waited.

And continued to wait far longer than the bomber's patience would typically allow for.

Katsuki waited a total of fifty-two minutes before his fucking nerd finally showed his face on the roof. The emerald hero was red in the face and huffing horribly, completely out of breath. The bomber angrily ignored his partner, waiting for the boy to finally fucking explain why the hell Katsuki had to wait thirty-seven more minutes than his patience ran for.

"K-K-Kacchan! I'm so sorry I'm late! There was the alarm, and everyone was in a panic. Plus we had a class meeting to make Iida the class representative instead. I'm really sorry I didn't come here first, but when I saw that you weren't in the classroom and I just- I'm sorry!"

Izuku blurted out his apologies in a hurried manner, still pink in the face with a fucking horribly cute, pleading face. Katsuki, still wanting to be angry, turned his head to the side and crossed his arms. The bomber was planning to ignore the emerald student for as long as he see fit. Though Katsuki's reactions may be childish, he felt completely within his right to do so.

"K-Kacchan?"

His partner's timid voice peaked Katsuki's interest, so he slid his eyes over to look at Deku. His head was cocked to the side all fucking cute, his eyes wide full of confusion. The hero trainee's brows were scrunched together as if he were trying to understand the bomber. Still too pissed off to answer, Katsuki merely scrunched his nose while remaining quiet.

"Are you not going to hit me? Or yell at me like you typically do? I don't ever think I've seen you this quiet, to be honest." Sincere curiosity rang out in Deku's voice, but that didn't change the fact that it pissed off the bomber.

"Why the fuck would I hit or yell!? I don't always fucking do that!" Eyes skirting to the side, his voice quieted slightly, "I was worried about you, shitface. Lunch ended almost a full fucking hour ago, and I waited for fifty-two god damn minutes!" Katsuki's voice was as harsh as always when he rambled. He was always so fucking nervous and angry around this shitty excuse for a crush, that the bomber couldn't control what he said or did really.

Though once again, Katsuki had been screaming, but possibly for the first time ever Izuku didn't seem phased. The nerd was completely frozen, but his eyes showed confusion not fear. Possibly understanding? The bomber couldn't tell, and it was pissing him off like crazy.

"Fucking what, Deku?!"

The usually timid Izuku was slowly walking towards him. Typically, when the bomber yelled, it was a look of fear paired with running. He'd never once advanced towards him. What in the world was going on through the dumbass's mind? The bomber's nerves skyrocketed for the first time in his short life.

Katsuki immediately decided that this was not for him. His crush was officially the last person he wanted to face. Especially not now as he stood so closely in front of him that he could see Deku's freckles up close and personal for the first time since being a toddler.

"Deku-" Katsuki's voice was gruff and slightly panicked, but quickly cut off by the swift kiss Izuku placed on his cheek.

"It's okay, Kacchan. I'm fine! See?"

A/N: Sorry this took a while to get out! I've been really busy with work lately. Oh my god it's exhausting working full time ;-;

BUT! How'd you like the chapter? I'm not 100% happy with how it turned out, but I enjoyed writing it nonetheless c:

The next chapter will regrettably a slight filler chapter. But the next Katsuki chapter is going to be soooooo much fun to write! I'm super stoked for it :D

Hope you enjoyed~
