"Shit." You groan to yourself, staring down at your quiz that the teacher just handed back. "What is it?"

Bakugo peers over your shoulder, glancing at your paper. You snatch it away, not letting him see your score. This is bad. You have a unit test in less than a week, and you failed your quiz. But you don't want Bakugo to know. He'll just nag you, and tell you how dumb you are, which is the last thing you want to hear right now.

So you don't let him see, asking to see his score instead. And of course, he got a 100.

"Ugh, this is bullshit! I barely even understand any of this unit and it's too hard." You groan, not even in the mood to make a that's what she said joke. That's when Bakugo knows things are bad.

"I showed you mine, now show me yours. Lemme see." Reluctantly, you hand him your quiz. You didn't do horribly, just made a few honest mistakes.

He frowns to himself, before passing the assessment back to you. "You're making dumb mistakes. You understand it, you're just rushing yourself, dumbass, so stop whining."

"Really?" You ask, feeling some hope linger in your heart. He tries to hide the way he's enjoying how you're looking at him, with such desperation, like he's the only person in the world.

"Can you tutor me? The test is coming up soon and I really don't want to fail. And also, I know you can do it because Kirishima tells me you tutor him all the time." You tell him.

You're giving him puppy dog eyes, which is annoying him, but he can't help but want to give in to you. Tutoring you? Being alone with you? It's an offer he can't refuse.

Still, he doesn't want to seem all too excited, especially considering how much of a pain tutoring is, and how much of a pain tutoring you is gonna be. So he lets out a long groan, giving in.

"Fine. And quit looking at me like that, it's creepy." He says to you, and you grin victoriously, wrapping your arms around him and pulling him into a hug. "Thank you! I owe you one!"

"Yeah, you do, and let me go!" He snaps, pulling you off of him. With a grin and apology, you release him from your grip.

It's hard to explain why Bakugo likes you so much. He doesn't have feelings for many people, and when he does, he deals with it. He's not the type to pine after people like Kirishima or Kaminari.

He's driven towards his dreams. Not his dreams..his future goals, which he knows he'll achieve.

He wants to play major league baseball. Not just play...he wants to be the best. And nothing's going to stop him. Not even some stupid crush, no matter how intense his feelings are.

But you...you're different. There's something about you, maybe it's how energetic you are, how you actually like him and can handle his attitude. Or maybe it's the shitty jokes you make, or how you fight back when he argues with you. Or maybe it's how soft you look, your lips, your skin...

Or maybe it's all of it combined. It doesn't matter. All he knows is that he wants you badly, more than he's wanted, anyone. And he'd do anything to get you.

Now here you sit across from him, in some shitty cafe, with Kirishima by your side. This was supposed to be just you and Bakugo, but of course, Kirishima has to tag along.

Things have been awkward between him and Kirishima, ever since their confessions. There's always been some unresolved tension, but now that everything's out there, things are even worse.

Bakugo doesn't get it. Kirishima's dating Mina. It's not like he can have you too. Then again, Bakugo knows how Mina can get...and Kirishima isn't the best when it comes to telling people stuff like that...

"So, I don't get this." You say to Bakugo, showing him a question on your homework, sliding the paper across the table to him. "Which part?"

"Uhm, all of it? I just don't get what you did wrong." You tell him, making him groan. He looks at the paper, going through the steps and seeing how you solved it.

"You did this part right, but you messed up here. You multiplied the x and y when you shouldn't have." He explains, but you still don't understand.

"What? No, that's not right. You have to multiply x and y. That's the main thing." You reply, but he still disagrees, sparking an argument between you two.

"I'm telling you, you have to multiply x and y!" He snaps, and you're getting angrier by the second. "But that doesn't make any sense!"

Kirishima's trying to calm you two down, but you're both ignoring him, too wrapped up in your argument to pay attention to what he's saying. With a frown, you pull out your math notebook, where you have all your notes written down, smacking it onto the table.

You flip through the pages, before you reach the page you want, showing it to Bakugo. "Here! Look! You can't- wait a second, I'm confused."

Bakugo groans and writes out an example problem, re-explaining it to you. When you finally understand it, you murmur a small "ohhh."

"Finally! It took forever to get that shit through your thick ass skull." He snaps. "Hey! You don't have to be mean about it. I just didn't understand it and you weren't giving good directions!"

You lean back in your seat, noticing that Kirishima and the rest of the cafe is practically staring at you. It's just then that you realize how loud you two were being. It's a miracle you didn't get kicked out.

"Are you okay?" Kirishima asks with a small chuckle watching as you drink your water in thirsty, desperate gulps. Your throat was dry and you feel exhausted from yelling and arguing with Bakugo.

"Yeah, I'm fine, I just wanna punch Bakugo in his stupid face." You murmur angrily, making him giggle.

"Let's try to be nice to each other, okay?" He wraps an arm around you, hugging you close to his side. You roll your eyes, smiling to yourself, getting a heavy whiff of his cologne.

Bakugo watched from across the table, glaring at Kirishima. When Kirishima notices, he can't help but flinch slightly, looking from you to him. "And why don't you hug Bakugo too? To make up with him?"

Rolling your eyes, you slip out of your seat, and Bakugo reluctantly gets up too, wrapping his arms around you. You hug him back, resting your head on his chest, before pulling away.

"I like your boobs." You grin, eyeing his chest, before looking up at him. His cheeks grow pink, and he furrows his eyebrows, glaring at you. "What the fuck are you talking about?"

"Nothing, never mind." You murmur in embarrassment. Yeah, that's definitely your word vomit talking. You'll save the discussion of his nice pectorals for another time.

"Why don't we head out?" Kirishima offers. You two agree, and with that, you're all leaving the cafe and walking over to Kirishima's car.

Kirishima opens the door for you, helping you inside. Bakugo stares him down as he does, and Kirishima waves him goodbye. Bakugo doesn't wave back.

Yeah, they're going to have to talk this out real soon.
