🌸💥🌸💥

Katsuki had to end their make out session when [____] flinched at another loud crashing sound coming from the outside.

He pulled himself back to catch his breath. He had a couple of more issues in the back of his mind— his crush was acting afraid and his house was still pitch black.

He wanted to fix the electricity problem before doing anything else with [____]. "Im gonna ask you again, fat cheeks. Just to be sure you're not just saying shit to make me believe something else.

Will you really be okay staying behind while I go check on the backup generator?"

"Yes..." [____] was still a little dazed after separating from his addictive kisses. "I'll wait here..."

"It's gonna be quick. Be on your phone or something in the meantime."

🌸🌸🌸🌸

'Weather report says that the thunderstorm will remain active until tomorrow...Which means, I'll have to endure these terrible noises and lightning the whole night...'

"Whyyyyy?!" [____] complained for a second. "I mean...At least I'm not alone. I'm with Katsuki, in his house. Just him and I...."

'I haven't even thought about it— He's my first crush and its clear that he likes me back. What happened between him and I just now......Is it really okay for us to keep making out tonight?

I want us to start dating before we do more things like it, but also...

I wouldn't mind having sex with him tonight...I really wouldn't.

Does that make me slutty? Maybe Hagakure was right— But I wanna be a slut for one person only, so maybe it's not so bad...?'

"What am I thinking?! [____], you gotta relax!! I just called myself a slut! What the heck?!"

As [____] began to google 'how to be more confident' in the search bar of her favorite browser; just out of pure curiosity to see what she'll find, a message popped up— it was from her teammate.

'Why is Todoroki asking me if I'm alright, as if I was the one who got hurt earlier...?'

"I completely forgot about his voicemail...I should probably listen to it; Oh a call...Random number..." [____] hesitantly answered after letting her phone ring a few times, she was just about to look through her missed calls too. "Hello?"

"Strawberry, I am so happy you picked up because your mother might be ignoring me and I tried dialing your home but the butler told me that no one with importance was there. He gave me your mobile number in return."

"G-Grandma?!" If [____] had known she was going to answer to Himeko's strict mother; she would of let the phone keep ringing.

"Yes it is, remain proper. Hi, [____]. How are your studies? I'm glad to know Hime and your useless father finally agreed to enrolling you into UA. The hero course, obviously.

You'll finally be able to polish off your power and become the greatest female hero of all time, my strawberry."

"Yes, Nana— I mean, grandmother..." [____] had two grandmas that were still very much alive and they were both completely different from each other.

While Manato's parents were humble people who enjoyed the outdoors and spending time with their ten sons; Himeko's entire family were all heroes, great ones at that.

Generations of them having fantastic quirks— Teleportation, precognition, all sorts of psychokinesis, telepathy and everything in between.

Kumiko Kete, [____]'s maternal grandma, despised working next to these new and 'spurious' heroes (as she called them) and invested plenty of her youth trying to teach her only daughter, Himeko, the importance of becoming a real hero in her eyes.

However, all of her strict lectures about becoming a proper woman backfired when the anxious girl named Himeko met Manato in school, fell in love, changed her look and pursued fame after quitting the hero course of UA.

"Y-Yes, grandmother! I am trying my best to succeed!" [____] completely lied. She was just an average student who had average scores, besides utterly failing her first important exam. "The hero course is so much fun! I have made plenty of friends already!"

"Strawberry, don't strive for insignificant things such as friendships. Becoming a true hero relies on how much control you have of your quirk.

Please remember that you are nothing like your mother, and I am proud of that, the most."

"Thanks...." Truthfully, [____] disliked the way Kumiko talked about her only child to others. As if Himeko was a disappointment. She just had very high expectations of her once her portal-opening quirk manifested.

However, Himeko during her youth was just a shy and anxious girl who wasn't ready to fulfill duties as a pro hero, making Kumiko pour the rest of her hopes and dreams onto [____], her only grandchild. "It was nice talking to you, grandmother. I have an exam to prepare for tomorrow, so—"

"Ah, yes, I've heard about it. I do intend to watch during my travels. I love you, my strawberry. Have a good night sleep and I will see you during holidays."

"R-Right! Thank you again! ...Nighty—"

"Say it properly."

"Goodnight, grandmother..." [____] was a little afraid to admit her mother's own mother could be a tad intimidating even through a phone call.

"That's more like it. I can't wait to see you surpass your classmates tomorrow. Sweet dreams, my strawberry."

[____] was extremely relieved to press 'end' on her cell phone screen, just when the lights in the living room turned back on. "Oh, Katsuki fixed it...?"

'That was a little strange...My grandma doesn't call anyone unless she predicts something bad is going to happen and she'll warn us...After all, it's sort of her quirk.

I can't imagine 'surpassing' any of my friends tomorrow, actually. I'm pretty sure without Katsuki or Todoroki's help, I would be the last person on that scoreboard...

I'm still not over the fact that I failed the written exam...Katsuki hasn't talked much about it, does that really mean he's not upset with me..?'

"Fuck, it's cold out there!!" The front door swung open and Bakugo complained as he entered his house, drenched in rainwater once again. "—Hate this shit.. I'm gonna— Hey, what's with the long face, fat cheeks? You're still scared or something?"

"Not in particular...But I am nervous about the exam tomorrow...My stomach feels like, some weird pressure. I don't like it..."

He raised an eyebrow in slight confusion. "Well...What can I do to make you forget about that for now? Everything is gonna be fine...Our team will indisputably win, I'll make sure of it."

"Well, actually, Suki...There is one thing I want us to do tonight..." [____] placed her phone face down and next to her.

Katsuki grinned a little. "Yeah? What do you feel like doing, fat cheeks? If I like it, I'll comply."

"B-Before we can kiss again...I want to talk more about us...How you feel about me...And stuff like that..."

'Of course that's what she wants to do. What the hell was I getting all excited for?!'

He cursed himself for feeling his dick getting tighter under his pants and for no good reason. "Wait here, then. I'm gonna go take a quick shower. When I come back, we can talk all you want about this crap."

"Okay." [____] nodded once, then watched him leave her sight.

'I hope he doesn't get sick again...'

🌸🌸🌸🌸

"Amacchan! I heard what happened with Todoroki and Kacchan today. I was just calling to see if you were alright?"

"Izuku...Thank you for asking about us." [____] had answered her phone a minute or so after she heard the shower running from upstairs; again, she was about to listen to the voicemail her teammate left her. "Thankfully, no one got extremely hurt. Todoroki might of gotten some bruises, but he told me he was alright...I'm not sure if I'd be, if I was him though..."

"I'm sorry... You know? I asked Todoroki to join my team if he wanted to last week, but he said he already made plans to work with you and Kacchan. I guess he can also be kind of stubborn.

Amacchan, I remember when we were little, and you talked about being afraid of thunder...So I'm also kind of worried right now and decided to check up on you. I hope I'm not disturbing whatever it is you are doing right now."

"Izuku..." [____] could feel her chest getting tugged by his sweet words and ability to recollect something she said more than 7 years ago. "You're still my best friend! I never got a chance to thank you for helping me design my hero costume...and for your notes! Even though I got last place in the exam..."

"Don't mention it, Amacchan! I, uh, mean— Don't mention anything about me helping you! That's what friends do, right?"

"Right!"

"And your score...I'm sure you feel upset but I know Kacchan and Todoroki will work hard for your team to win tomorrow, so I hope you do the same for them. Teamwork is important, I've never seen Kacchan be more willing to be in the same group as Todoroki, too— So I think...He has you to thank for that."

"I don't know, Izuku...Maybe Katsuki is just shaping up to become a great person all on his own."

"Maybe you're right. It's Kacchan we're talking about, so it's a little difficult to think he's doing something for others...I hope one day the three of us can hang out again. I know right now you might have a lot in your plates, though."

"What a great idea! Izuku— Lets do it!!"

"Eh?!"

"If I can make Katsuki say yes— Will you be willing to hang out with us after the exam?! There's a lot of memories of us that I don't exactly remember. Maybe talking to you two about it will help me recall them."

"Amacchan..." Midoriya wasn't sure how to say no to the first girl he ever befriended as kids. Though it's not like he was even trying to say no. "Sounds like fun!"

💥💥💥💥

Bakugo walked from the bathroom to his bedroom, scanning through his closet and drawers to find clean and dry clothes to put on after his battle with the power generator outside. "Stupid ass machine, had to put up a fight with me to get this shit to work. At least the lights are back on, and [____] isn't afraid anymore..."

'But now I'm kind of shaking. What is this shit?! Anxiousness? I know I'm a virgin but I'm not one of those fucking losers who get all neurotic over a girl staying over.'

He laughed at himself for a moment, dropping the clothes he picked on his bed and staring at them for a few seconds. "She looks so damn sexy wearing my shirt.... I hate it."

'I hate how much I like her. I feel like I'm losing to her already...'

💥🌸💥🌸

"What the hell is this?!" Katsuki was greeted by a rubber cell phone strap on top of his gaming console, next to one of the remotes he was charging. "What am I looking at?!"

"It's the explosion emoji...But in a cute accessory form!" [____] took the time to clean her bag after ending her call with Midoriya, completely forgetting about the voicemail again.

She found a lot of pens she thought she had lost, crumbled pieces of sloppily written notes she takes home to rewrite in a much more organized journal.

The list Kaminari had given her about things Bakugo liked, the emoji cell phone attachment and a few other misc items like a phone charger, wireless earphones she forgot all about, pads & tampons, lipgloss, a mini first aid kit, etc.

"And why the fuck is it on here?" He examined the shitty item without touching it.

"Katsuki, it's for you." His crush spoke softly. "I bought it for you, the day you asked me to join your team."

'Cute as hell...She's so fucking cute, I might kill her.'

Even though that was all Bakugo could think about, he managed to say the opposite of what he was feeling. "Hah?! Why would I need this...dumbass piece of trash, that comes from you?!"

"Fine." [____] stood up from the couch, moving the trash she still hadn't thrown away out of her lap and reaching for the phone strap, since it was clear her crush wasn't acting as appreciative as she first imagined. "If you don't want it, I'll throw it away!"

"I never said I didn't want it. I asked you why I would need this." He toned it down after seeing how emotional she got over a few insults.

"I'm not sure. It's true that you don't strike me as the type of guy who over accessorizes his stuff...I honestly don't know why I even thought about giving this to you, all you did was be a jerk to me...

But I was just so happy. Thinking we could put the past behind us and become friends, you even acknowledged my quirk for the first time...I thought that, maybe if I show you how thankful I am for letting me work with you...and letting me hang out with you and Mina, and Sero and Kiri...even Kaminari—"

"— Stop speaking. I get it already."

[____] was trying to figure out what else she could say that wouldn't cause him to get upset.

He cleared his throat and placed the small gift into one of the pockets of his sweatpants. "....I'll take it."

"You will?"

"If those are the thoughts you had when you first bought this, then it just means you were crushing on me already, despite me treating you like that. It's an honest gift. So I'll take it."

[____] averted her eyes to the black shirt she was currently wearing; it belonged to him. She then began picking on the little pieces of cotton fluff from the clothing. "I can't deny that I thought you were super handsome, as soon as we met again...But I totally wasn't crushing on you, back then..."

"Quit lying. You were practically obsessed with me." Katsuki was smiling; it was hard for [____] to look away or even say anything at the moment. "Hahah, you even went ahead and brought me that tray of food to my room, like if that was gonna make me apologize for what I did before."

"S-So you are saying that you knew what my plan was, all along?!" [____] was mentally slapping herself for being so naive. "What am I saying..? Of course you knew..."

"You're easy to read, fat cheeks. Look, I'll even use this stupid phone thing for you, I know it'll make you happy."

"For me..." [____] went back to fidgeting with the shirt.

"Aren't you surprised that I can be this nice? It's funny how you hardly knew crap about me but you already liked me enough to go out of your way and buy me a stupid gift like this. It's fucking adorable."

"Suki, you..." [____] had been thinking about things a lot; she had been reading a few articles about relationships and what it meant to be a good romantic partner during her spare time.

So she was prepared to speak with him about her plans and ideas. "You can't just mask your insults with compliments, they can still be hurtful..."

"What? Where the hell are you coming from?"

'This is it, [____]...Tell him! Tell him everything you've been researching and talk to him about your future together.

"I want us to start dating before we have sex!" Its that simple, just tell him!' She cheered for herself.

Although she had the right idea in mind, the words that poured out of her mouth were confusing to the guy. "I want us to have a long lasting and healthy relationship, Katsuki!!

Sex, too!! but I don't want to be just a one night stand to you! It felt super good when we just kissed but not in a slutty way!! I'm not a slut, its what I'm trying to say—!!"

"Ahh?! Who the fuck said you were—?!" He quickly grabbed the dualshock from the console and went to turn off the lights of the living room. Just so [____] couldn't see that he was blushing from her plain-spoken comments.

"You're fucking mental— I'm not trying to do shit with you right now!! Damn, our first night together and you're already thinking about us fucking."

"H-How mean! We have to respect each other and be more honest, if we ever become official..." She took her time to follow him to the couch again, but left a whole seat of space between them. "I wasn't thinking about sex until you last kissed me and touched my thigh...Sorry."

"Tch." He began to browse through a variety of movies and shows on the tv. "...It's not like we're dating right now or anything. So what you said doesn't apply just yet."

'Just yet? Does that mean it will soon..?'

"Right...I want us to, though." [____] mumbled the first part. "Katsuki, if we don't end up together, then does that mean I have to wait until I give you all the kisses I said I'll owe you...before I can date another person?"

"Why in the world would you try to find another guy if you have me already?!"

"But you just said—"

"I know what I just said, but— Fuck!!" He placed the remote down and tried explaining himself. "Alright, fat cheeks, listen to me. As things are going now...if we start dating we probably won't last long. There's so much shit I wanna yell at you about, you're probably gonna cry and hate me after.

I'm only saying this to you since you're nothing like the rest of those idiots in my team; we're friends.

But I've been thinking about it, too...About us, about relationships. How do those even work? The moment we move forward and things go wrong, there's no way to turn back, is there?

If you hate me in the end, then that's it for us. Have you thought about that, fat cheeks? We can't ever be friends again if things go bad between us."

"I haven't..." For the most part, [____] had only been thinking of all the good parts of a relationship. She was a teenage girl who never had a boyfriend and the only people she's seen at play was her parents' marriage for the most part.

"You think we would have no downfalls, or something?" He smirked. "I already told you to stop talking to icyhot and you didn't listen; so you see...there's one right there."

"But that's because it made no sense to me, at the time." [____] defended herself. "He was just being nice to m—"

"— I told you that asshole was trying to ask you out! Why did you think I wanted to kill him today?!"

"Now I know, but!! I...still consider him my friend, so if he does ask me out, I'll reject him. Just how I rejected Sero. You didn't have to hurt him, if it had anything to do with me..."

He stayed silent for a few seconds, trying to see if she was going to cry or not. "Fuck. You see what I mean? I hate that you can't just do as I say. You're gonna make this whole relationship thing harder than it should be."

[____] shook her head lightly. "You're making it harder for yourself, Katsuki. You can't tell me who I can speak to or not...It's not fair. It's not like I ask you to do the same for me..."

"You wouldn't have to, that's why. If we were to be dating, I wouldn't care for any other girl but you."

'That sounds super sweet...But it's not exactly okay for him to think this way, is it? The articles I read online and paperbacks...This is what others consider a 'red flag'?

Katsuki...A relationship should be build around trust. You don't trust me around other guys, but I can protect myself just fine and stand up for myself too...'

"You don't have to stop talking to other girls, if we date. 'Cause I know I can trust you." [____] murmured. "I want you to trust me too..."

Bakugo scrunched up his nose as if he was in disgust from all her sweet words. He was trying hard not to smile, only to mock her. "Gross, don't fucking say shit like that again."

"Am I gross, really..?" [____] was feeling vulnerable in that moment, considering how well she thought the conversation was going just to have him shut her down so fast. "S-Should I just leave, then..?"

"No, stop. It was only a joke." He sounded a little concerned as he signaled her to get closer to him. "Come here, give me a kiss."

[____] was hesitant to follow his instructions, that was until he sighed.

"Relax, I won't try to do anything without your consent. I'm not a fucking monster, fat cheeks.

I won't touch you, if that's what you want. Just tell me when you feel uncomfortable and I'll move away. I just want to watch this movie with you before bed."

"Okay..."

"And by the way, I trust you already. It's those assholes I can't trust. Guys could care less who you're seeing, if they think there's an opening to get to you, they'll go for it."

'It kind of sounds like something Hagakure would do...I totally get it now. I'm jealous, he's jealous...The only difference is that he can lash out on a person so quickly, and I don't want to see anymore of my classmates get hurt...'

🌸💥🌸💥

"....Katsuki?" [____] waited until the movie he picked was already starting to play to tell him something important.

"What?" He had trouble finding the TV remote, which was buried somewhere on his couch. He wasn't paying much attention until [____] said the magic words to startle him.

"I'll give you all of my consent tonight."

"Hah??" He finally got a hold of the device he was looking for and turned to raise an eyebrow at [____].

"For you to touch me...I don't know how far you'll go, exactly. But I am okay with it. Just...to let you know."

"Idiot, you don't know even know what you're saying more than half of the time...Now you're suddenly sure about something like this??" He could feel his heart rate increasing already; he used the remote to turn the volume down before proclaiming:

"If you give me your full consent— then I'll break you. Do you want that?

Hey, fat cheeks, do you honestly believe I'm a gentle person? When it comes to fucking— I'm not gonna hold back. I won't be as sweet as you'd think anymore."

[____] gave him a firm nod. "I-I know. I'm prepared for it...."

"You sure?" He asked again, not believing she knew exactly what she was agreeing to.

"I'm sure...I really want to try..." Her face was bright red as she admitted. "Katsuki, if it's with you, I really want to try it..."

He wondered if it was normal for a person to look shy and at the same time, so dirty and louche.

'What is she even talking about? Is she really trying to have sex with me tonight? She's bold...But not enough to look confident about it.'

He smirked at her again, getting up to stretch purposely. "Ah, shit. This place is getting so boring. Let's go to my bedroom and watch the movie in there, what do you say?"

💥🌸💥🌸💥🌸💥🌸💥🌸💥🌸💥🌸💥
