Bakugou’s Pov

“Hey, Katsuki It’s going to rain soon, right?”
After school one day in junior high, y/n was walking beside me when, all of a sudden, she spoke. I blinked a few times and looked at her puzzled.
“The weather forecast said it’s only going to be cloudy all day.” I
Unconsciously reached for my book bag, where I had a folding
Umbrella. My old hag had given it to me, telling me to “ hold on to it just in case cause I do not want my house’s floors to be damaged because of your irresponsible ass” like if I give a fuck about her floors, I mentally rolled my eyes
“Weather forecast? Is that what it said? I didn’t check it.” y/n stared blankly at me for a moment and then looked up at the sky. She sniffed:
“I’ve been smelling rain for a while now,” she said with her eyes closed.
I was captivated by her profile.
Without opening her eyes, she drew a deep breath and then released it.
Finally, she raised her eyelids and looked at me. Seeing her big round e/c eyes trained on me all of a sudden caught me off guard, and I quickly looked away.
“ you try to smell it too, Katsuki. The rain.”
“ but why do I want to smell the rain, I do not even know what it smells like or I want to find out.”
“You’ll see when you smell it. Go on. Close your eyes and inhale slowly through your nose.”
“ I better not fucking regret this, and if I do, I  am going to hate on your ass for making me look like a dumbass like you.”
She giggled “ Katsuki, you won’t regret this okay”
I gave her one last glance at y/n, and she had this stupid look on her face. I cursed myself for doing this.
I did as y/n suggested and closed my eyes. My vision blurred my view of the heavy, thick clouds overhead.

“Breathe in…, “ y/n said next to me, sounding like a yoga instructor, and not fucking ask me how they sound, 'cause I do not watch videos or go they’re in real life.

I slowly inhaled through my nose. The air was moist. What surprised me the most was how sharp my sense of smell was once I closed my eyes; I could now pick up something I hadn’t before. It had a bit of a sharp fragrance, like the earth or plants… but at the same time, it was mellow. It reminded me of when it would suddenly rain during the monsoon season. It was a unique smell that I wouldn’t usually notice unless I focused on it.

“ Is this what rain smells like?”I asked after opening my eyes. She nodded happily.
“Isn’t interesting? There are so many mechanisms and rhythms in this world we can’t understand. Only their very tip reaches us, as a scent or something else .”
“Mechanisms..rhythms” I repeated the words to her, not having a clue what she meant. She looked up at the sky with sparkling eyes.
“It’s so fun to see so many smells out there. Each season has its own scent… There’s the scent of rain and sunlight…” She closed her eyes again, then drew another deep breath through her nose.
.
.
.
Drip.
And then a drop of water struck her face.
“Oh!” her eyes flew open in surprise and she turned towards me with a gasp.
Drip, drip. Raindrops were falling from the used-to-be not that cloudy sky.
“Ah-ah-ah!”
She smiled gleefully and started skipping around on the spot.
“See?! It’s raining !” She burst into laughter and stretched out both arms as if she was a goddamn bird. 
The rain grew stronger in the blink of an eye, and suddenly it was a complete downpour.
I hastily opened my book bag. ‘ I won’t admit it but I am glad that my old hag got my umbrella’
I thought as I opened up the umbrella.
“ OI, y/n! You're going to get fucking wet!” I angrily called out to her.
She was still skipping around with her arms outstretched. She shook her head with a smile. “ I don’t have an umbrella!”
“Yeah, but I fucking do! Bring your ass over here with me!”
When she saw me tilting my umbrella towards her, she smiled again.
“ if both of us get underneath that tiny thing. We’ll both get wet”
“ I not fucking care. It’s better than you winding up completely soaked.”
“ Hey, let’s wait out the rain somewhere. It’d be a waste to head home so soon.”
I could tell by her smile that she was enjoying the shitty rain. She ignored my warnings and walked off ahead as I quickly jogged after her.
“ hurry up, Katsuki!” she turned around and flashed me a carefree smile, her hand outstretched.
I made my ‘tch’ sound. It suddenly felt stupid for me to be the only one using an umbrella, so I folded it back up and put it away in my bag before chasing after her. It always felt like y/n lived in a different world from me. She wasn’t tied down by anything. She was free. And because of that, people whispered shit about her at school and called her weirdo and other shit that pissed me off. But to me, those qualities were what made her beautiful. She accepted everything about the world head-on, and the way she described it seemed to give each element fresh life. It felt like I was internalizing bits and pieces of that mindset until my fucking world started to sparkle too. Even though we were standing on the same ground, everything looked different when I was with her. She seemed blindingly bright… so much so that I unconsciously narrowed my eyes whenever I looked at her. Y/n was unbelievably beautiful, and she saw the world in so much more detail than I did. I wished I could experience the world as she felt it…with her by my side. I wanted to see the same things and smile the same way.
But every time I tried to get closer, her sparkle seemed to grow distant, and I found myself constantly trying to catch up to her.
And at some point…I stopped chasing
