Katsuki Bakugou x Marinette Kirishima

Confession

Ok... I have to confess now. I have to admit before it's too late.

It's been months since Marinette joined the U.A., and we've gotten closer. She's even gotten closer to Hiroshi, but from what I can see, they don't like each other that way. At least, I hope not.

"Alright, today's the day. I'll tell her how I feel and hope she feels the same way," I told myself while fixing my hair in the mirror in my room. My hands were shaking, and I could already feel sweat rolling down my forehead.

"Fuck... it's not that deep," I muttered, slapping my face and taking deep breaths.

I left Height's Alliance and walked to U.A. High School. I noticed Marinette and Shinso walking together towards the entrance. Today is a big test day, so Mr. Aizawa and Present Mic probably left early and let them walk to school.

"Marinette!" I waved.

She looked at me and smiled big, making my heart flutter. She told Shinso something, he nodded and walked off, while Marinette walked towards me.

"Hey, Bakugou!" she cheered, hugging me tightly.

"Hey, Blue," I whispered, patting her head.

We walked towards the entrance of U.A. High School together. She had a cute blush on her face and kept talking about everything and anything. I just listened with a smile.

"So, Marinette, I was wondering... y'know... if... you wanted to go—"

Ring!

The bell rang, making me flinch.

"Oh... sorry, Bakugou. Tell me after class, okay?" She patted my arm and ran off towards her class.

"Fuck," I groaned and walked off.

"So I was thinking, maybe if you wanted to, totally your choice, but if you wanted to da—"

"Marinette! C'mon! We're going to be late!" someone shouted, making me groan.

"Coming!" Marinette yelled back, giving me an apologetic smile.

"So—"

"It's alright. Don't apologize. Go," I gently pushed her forward. She hesitated but then, hearing her friend shout for her again, she ran off.

That went on for the whole day. Every chance I got with her, I tried asking her out. I'd get super nervous, stutter, and forget until she had to leave. It was driving me insane.

"Finally, okay, I need to tell you something!" I had Marinette all alone in an empty classroom where no one would find us.

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry! Tell me!" She was excited too.

"I... I wanted you to... if you want to don't force yourself to, but... if you wanted to, do you want to go out?" There, I finally said it.

"Go... go out? As... as in a date?" she whispered while fiddling with her fingers.

"Yes! If you want to, though! You can tell me no, and I won't be mad or anything!" I reassured her.

"Um...." She blushed.

"Ye—"

"Alert! Villains on U.A. Property! Class 2A and older, suit up! Everyone else get to safety!" The speakers blared, and alarms rang around.

"Wh-what!?" I grabbed Marinette and shoved her into a closet.

"Stay here."

"But—"
