Reconciled Love [Bakudeku]

Chapter 1

"You're coming back?"

Katsuki yells in the middle of their lunch break, resulting in the attention of the entire cafeteria on him. He hadn't realised the sudden silence, however, presumably too focused on the phone call.

Katsuki had his eyes wide, his phone clutched so tightly that for a second you could swear you heard the screen break. He had knocked his chair down in a frenzy and was standing near his untouched lunch with the craziest expression imaginable on his face.

The Katsuki Bakugo they knew, would never get excited. It wasn't just confusing, but also concerning to his friends. For all they knew, he could be talking to an ex-prisoner or something.

"Dude, what was that? Everyone is staring at us." Kirishima mumbles, glancing around with an awkward smile. Katsuki mumbles a quick 'I'll call you later' and cuts his call, completely ignoring Kirishima's question.

Why? Because he didn't have to answer. It could be anyone. Why do they care what Katsuki does and who he talks to? Honestly, as any sane person would've assumed, he was simply embarrassed, however, to his luck, his friends were nowhere close to sane.

"Sorry for the disturbance everyone, you know him," Sero adds with a teasing smile. "Please continue your work."

"Does it look like I give a fuck?" Katsuki snaps, a few flinching at the sudden voice while the Bakusquad has gotten used to it, he's just like that, can't help it.

"Aww my Bakubabe, got himself a girlfriend~" Mina squeals, ignoring the glare from the other end of the table.

"Shut the fuck up before I make you." Katsuki gives an empty threat, with a horrifying aura. (It wasn't frightening for them, if anything he looked like an angry chihuahua. But don't tell him they said that.)

"Anyway, who were you talking about Bakugo? For the first time in my life, I saw you get excited over something." Kaminari sings in a teasing tone, his lips curved to a sly smirk.

"None of your business, dumbass," Katsuki grumbles, turning away with a clicking tongue. His lips bloom into a wide smile as he starts texting someone, completely ignoring the others seated in front of him.

Kaminari tries to make a harmless passing joke about his smile, however, it reaches Katsuki's ears.

And you know the drill, Kaminari had to hide from him for the rest of the school day.

As the day progressed to a calm evening, the Bakusquad was already buzzing in excitement. They were planning on hanging out at Katsuki's place. Katsuki usually never pays attention to them, today it was even worse.

"Dude? Are you even listening?" Unfortunately for the others, Katsuki was too intrigued by his phone. It was abnormal of him.

"The fuck do you all want?!" Katsuki questions, his face falling back into a frown on seeing his friends.

"Are we still hanging out at your place, Bakubro?" Mina, he presumed, asks.

"Whatever, not like I care."

Katsuki's house is the Bakusquad's hangout place. It's like a base. They didn't really ask for Katsuki's opinion, and he didn't mind either. It's not like he could stop them anyway.

"Welcome back home Katsuki!" Mitsuki yells from the living room, upon hearing the door creek open and the shuffling of shoes heard.

"The fuck are you doing here?!" Katsuki was surprised to see his mother here, usually at the office or on a business trip around this time.

"Don't talk to me like that, brat. Besides, Izuku said he is visiting, did you hear?" Mitsuki asks with a huge smile.

"Of course, I did." Katsuki tends to be a little overprotective and jealous, when Mitsuki says as if Katsuki wouldn't have known it was just frustrating him.

"Whatever, Have fun with your friends. Are they staying over?"

"Nah, they are just hanging out." She still hasn't looked up from the rolls of paper she was drawing some sort of sketches in. Katsuki remembers when he used to help her with designs sometimes too, it had become a soothing hobby then.

Katsuki's parents are fashion designers who own a company called the 'Bakugo Co'. His parents are definitely exceptionally talented, Katsuki himself accepts that. He had always wanted to follow in his parents' footsteps, he loved drawing and designing.

"Dude, you are so rich!" Kirishima exclaims with sparkling eyes, emphasizing the word 'so' for what seems to be the umpteenth time since they all started hanging out together. Katsuki couldn't help but chuckle as always. The Squad has of course seen him laugh, but that's quite rare, which is exactly why, these kinds of moments are precious to them.

They love Katsuki no matter what, he could have a rough fuck-off exterior, but actually, he is a very big softie on the inside. He never lets people see the worst of him, no matter what, he's happy being who he is, and that's all that matters.

He doesn't give in to unjust or bullying though, especially when it comes to his friends. Like the one time, Denki was called dumb and useless. Denki has had a rough past and the Bakusquad knew about it. So they are always there to help him or anyone for that matter. Everyone was special in their eyes.

Katsuki beat the shit out of the bullies that day, he also consoled Denki, a little awkwardly, but that didn't matter, it's the thought that does. Katsuki believes he should be proud of the person he has become. He sure has progressed a lot.

Upon reaching Katsuki's room, everyone starts doing their own thing, just as usual, playing Mario Kart or some sort of game. Katsuki won most of the games, while Kaminari, always lost to the others, they definitely had a fun time. Everyone was used to each other by now, they didn't push each other away.

Which gave Kaminari the liberty to ask the question, "Who's Izuku, again?" a small smirk dancing on his lips. Katsuki had already flipped him off, yelling at him to shut up. He would never give up though, it's not like this guy is a huge deal, right?

He sighed before replying in a normal tone "You wouldn't stop until you get what you want from me, right?" He questions, already sighing as he drops his controller, now turning around to face them.

"Yup" He hears them answer in union.

"Fine, he is just- not someone that important just, a kid I knew from childhood." Katsuki trails away, a shy smile adorning his face that he quickly masks before the others notice.

Author's note:
This is my first ever story and has been through intense editing. It still has a lot of flaws in the plot and storyline itself, but it's no longer correctable. I've tried my best to make the story less cringey and I hope you guys like it.
