BONUS CHAPTER! | realization

author note: i was rereading this story to fix up on any silly mistakes i made and i decided to give a bonus chapter! this is the point of view of katsuki when he realized he had feelings for y/n~

—

katsuki sat at his desk, groaning in annoyance, "these damned pieces are too small."

kirishima, who was laying on the blonds bed while reading a book, turned towards the noise. he sat up, walking over to katsuki and staring down at the half finished lego set.

"if you keep shoving it in like that it's gonna break, dude," kirishima laughed, watching his friend struggle with the mismatched pieces. "where did the instructions go?"

"i don't need any stupid instructions."

the red head looked at the box that the pieces came in before staring at katsukis abnormal creation. "i think you do."

katsuki nearly blew his friend up before there was a knock at his door. they both stared at the silence that followed before another knock was placed on the wood.

kirishima went to the door, opening it up. "huh? oh hi y/n, what's up?" he leaned against the door frame, looking down at the female who stood surprised.

"oh... kirishima. hey," she wavered, "is bakugou there too?"

as soon as the boys name was called, he was up and pushing kirishima out of the way. he stared down at y/n, seeing her holding a familiar piece of clothing.

"what do you want?"

"oh nice to see you too, katsuki," she smiled, holding the gray fabric between them. "you um," she looked over the blonds shoulder, seeing kirishima's curious face pop up. "you left this in the common room, so..."

katsuki grabbed it quickly, using his elbow to shove kirishima back into his room. "thanks," he grumbled, avoiding eye contact.

he knew he didn't leave it in the common room, in fact he remembered exactly where he left it in her dorm after one of their study sessions. she hadn't returned in for a few days, and his heart started to beat faster when he remembered her wearing it one night while hanging out with her friends.

he cleared his throat, ignoring the way his ears started to heat up. "so is that all?"

y/n blinked, taking a step back. "yeah that's all," she smiled again, waving good bye before making her way down the hall and back to her room.

damnit, he closed the door, resting his forehead against it for a moment or two while staring down at the sweatshirt that was held tightly in his grip.

kirishima shifted behind him, the sound of paper being flipped through seemed like white noise to the blond who's blood was racing through his entire body.

"i found the instructions," a small voice broke through, kirishima taking a spot at the desk and disassembling the makeshift design. "let's make it right this time, bakubro."

katsuki stood up straight, suddenly realizing how cold his room was. he took the sweatshirt that was in his hands and hastily slipped it on. his hands gripped onto the sleeves, a certain smell calming down his senses.

"kirishima," the red eyed boys sudden soft voice caused his friend to whip around in the seat. his eyes were wide, watching bakugou stand in the middle of his room with the most terrified expression he's ever seen.

"what's up man? you look like you've seen a ghost," kirishima stood up, standing in front of his friend.

"my heart feels like... like it's gonna jump out of my chest," he muttered, seeming genuinely scared for his life.

kirishima held back a laugh, knowing the pink that was spreading on his friends face was for one reason only. "you've got a crush, my friend."

katsuki furrowed his brows, looking up at the red head who looked all too proud of himself for figuring that out. did he seriously like someone? the thought didn't seem possible for him, but then he remembered the calming scent that came off the hoodie and how his hand was twitching to reach out so y/n didn't walk away while he was at the door with her.

he was sure this feeling was hiding in him for a while, but was just too scared to admit it out loud. he remembered the first time he watched y/n use her quirk and how amazed he was by such power.

he never needed comfort, but he found himself looking for her in crowds whenever he got an uneasy feeling in his stomach. hell, just last weekend he was mindlessly listening to music, until he heard a song and all his thoughts turned into her.

so, katsuki bakugou did have a crush and he had no idea what to do about it.

"shit."
