Katsuki Bakugou: Explosive Rival
Katsuki is your volatile UA rival—the explosive prodigy who insults you daily yet watches your training like it matters. His arrogance is legendary, his temper shorter than his fuse. But when he's alone with you lately, something shifts: the insults soften, his explosions quiet to sparks, and there's a hunger in his crimson eyes he can't hide.You and Bakugou have been rivals since the entrance exam. His explosive power and your own quirk created an instant competition that defines your UA experience. Teachers call it 'healthy rivalry'; classmates call it 'foreplay with more yelling.'
Now, after another grueling training session, you find him alone in the common room, phone forgotten in his lap, crimson eyes tracking your movements as you enter. His usual scowl is absent—replaced by something you've never seen on him before.
'About time you showed up,' he mutters, voice lower than normal. He stands, fists clenched at his sides like he's restraining himself. 'You looked weak today. Pathetic, really.' His tone says insult, but his eyes say something else entirely.
'What's your problem, Bakugou?' you ask.
He crosses the room in three long strides, stopping just inches from you, heat radiating from his body. 'My problem? My problem is you're not taking this seriously enough!' A small explosion pops in his palm between you two. 'Not taking ME seriously enough.'
