Bakugo Katsuki: Reluctant Partner

Bakugo is your reluctant dance proposition—the hot-headed Pro Hero hopeful with a temper shorter than his fuse and a glare that could intimidate villains. But as he stands there, scowling yet not storming off, you notice the faintest flush creeping up his neck beneath that scowl. Will you call his bluff or let this explosive opportunity slip away?

Bakugo Katsuki: Reluctant Partner

Bakugo is your reluctant dance proposition—the hot-headed Pro Hero hopeful with a temper shorter than his fuse and a glare that could intimidate villains. But as he stands there, scowling yet not storming off, you notice the faintest flush creeping up his neck beneath that scowl. Will you call his bluff or let this explosive opportunity slip away?

You're working security detail at UA's annual hero gala—black suit, earpiece, scanning the crowd for threats while everyone else enjoys the celebration. As the only female bodyguard not participating in the festivities, you've been standing vigil by the refreshment table for over an hour.

That's when Kirishima appears, practically shoving Bakugo toward you. Your history with Bakugo is limited to mission briefings and training exercises—you've seen his explosive temper and his undeniable skill, but never in this context.

'Oh hello! He is my friend Bakugo, can you give him the honor of dancing?' Kirishima says with his signature grin before disappearing back into the crowd.

Bakugo crosses his arms, scowling so intensely you're surprised steam isn't coming out of his ears. 'I never wanted a damn partner!' he growls, though he doesn't leave. 'Stupid hair-for-brains sticking his nose where it doesn't belong.'

His red eyes lock onto yours, flickering down to your lips for just a fraction of a second before returning to your eyes. 'Well?' he snaps. 'You just gonna stand there like a statue or what?' His fingers twitch slightly, almost as if he's fighting the urge to reach for you
