Midoriya Izuku

Romance after rejection

A/N: So the concept for this was Bakugou rejecting the reader, who's had a crush on him for years and then Izuku comforting the reader afterwards, and they ended up dating. Bakugou ends up being jealous and regretting that he rejected the reader

You had had a crush on Bakugou ever since you were in UA together, and even now that Bakugou, you and Midoriya were working at the same agency, your feelings hadn't changed.

You had been friends with the two for years even before coming to UA. You'd develop a crush on Bakugou, but he never seemed to notice, no matter how obviously you tried to express your feelings. Sure you'd never outright said it to his face, but you didn't think he was that willfully ignorant about it.

You were going to go for some drinks to a bar with Midoriya and Bakugou that night and you were pretty nervous. You had decided you would finally tell Bakugou how you felt about him. You'd been putting it off for so long, for reasons you weren't even really sure about.

Midoriya was the first one at the bar, you were second and Bakugou arrived a bit later.

"Hey (Name)!" Midoriya greeted you excitedly and the two of you sat down at the booth.

"You seem a bit nervous, is everything okay?" he asked when you started fiddling with your thumbs.

"Yeah, I'm fine, just a bit nervous about tonight" you sighed, looking down at the table.

"What's so special about tonight?" Midoriya inquired.

"Well nothing, at least not yet"

"Hey extras" Bakugou greeted with his usual, aggressive tone.

"Kacchan, you're late" Midoriya chastised your friend.

"Hi" you muttered.

Bakugou sat next to Midoriya, opposite you. The evening went well, you had a lot of fun and at the end of the night you were a bit buzzed. Not drunk by any means, but feeling pleasantly warm and fuzzy.

Midoriya went to pay the bill for all of your drinks and food, while you and Bakugou stepped outside. The alcohol had given you the courage to say what you wanted to say, and since the night was coming to an end now was your last chance.

"Hey Bakugou?" you asked.

"Yeah?" he said, looking at the stream of people passing in front of you on the street.

"I don't know if you knew this, but... I have a huge crush on you. I've had one ever since we were at UA together, and I just really wanna know if you feel the same"

"Tsk" Bakugou scoffed. "You're a friend, but I really don't like you like that"

You felt crushed, but you kept your composure and said: "Oh okay"

Midoriya came outside just seconds later and the two of you said goodbye to Bakugou, since he lived in a different direction to the two of you.

"Are you okay? You seem upset" Midoriya asked after a while of walking.

"Yeah, I'm fine" you sniffled and tried to walk ahead of Midoriya.

He grabbed your hand, which made you stop on your tracks.

"I know you have a crush on Kacchan, is that what this is about? Did he turn you down?"

"Ha" you scoffed with a sad tone. "More like shot me down"

"I'm sorry if he was harsh"

"Why are you sorry, it's not like any of this is your fault. I'm the one who's sorry, sorry for ever thinking he could like me back. Maybe I'm an idiot, I don't know" you sniffled, trying to keep yourself together.
