·˚ ༘₊· ˚₊· ͟͟͞͞ ➳ YOU LOOKED AROUND, ATTEMPTING TO FOCUS YOUR VISION. the light was bright, but you were sure of one thing— the blond that stood in front of you. you didn't know why, but even his gaze gave you butterflies. you had just met him and you couldn't understand what was happening.
unable to stop yourself, you looked up at him through your lashes. "hi, what's your name...?" you giggled.
bakugo groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. ignoring your advances, he turned to the two girls who were in the right state of mind. "great. just great. this is what i'm talking about!"
unleashing a string of swears under his breath, bakugo eventually turned his attention back to you. he didn't want to answer your question, but he knew bad things would happen if he continuously rejected your advances. "bakugo katsuki."
"bakugo katsuki..." you pushed yourself off your friends and stood up straight. "well, bakugo y/n has a nice name to it, right?"
the words slipped from your lips and left your friends jaw dropped in shock. in all the years they had known you, they had never seen you be so straightforward. it was sort of amusing, but nonetheless, they knew had to get you back to your regular self.
"alright," akilah began, "let's get you back home."
you and your friends began to make their way back when bakugo stopped you. "wait, that villain's quirk is more dangerous than you think." he said, pointing back to the villain who was currently being detained by the heroes who had finally shown up.
charllote stopped and looked at bakugo with a confused look. "what do you mean?" the girl questioned.
and so, bakugo began to explain. the quirk you had been hit with was called lovestruck. like the name suggests, it's a quirk that strikes their victim and forces a romantic feeling for the first person they see— regardless of age, gender, or sexuality.
if the victim's love doesn't get reciprocated within a month, it can cause them to fall into a deep depression, one that can't be reversed. and eventually, the victim will take their own life.
akilah's face stiffened. instantly, every logical idea flooded through her mind. "can't you just say you love her or something?!"
"YOU IDIOT! fake love will shorten the time span left!" bakugo blared.
"well, what do we do...? the villain can't reverse it?" charllote asked.
bakugo scoffed. "after that beat down i gave him, i doubt it."
your friends stood there in distress wondering what to do. they couldn't reverse it and obviously this guy wasn't going to be falling in love with you anytime soon.
"there are two things left."
akilah and charllote looked up with hope in their eyes at the sound of bakugo's voice. urging him to tell them what they should do.
bakugo explained that you could fall out of love with him on your own. behind that overwhelming feeling of love stood your real personality. if you fell out of love with him on your own accord, you could move on with your life. in addition, whenever you're not around him, you are your original self. so the possibility that you could fall in love with someone else is rare but there. that could also break the quirk.
"so you being a complete jerk or y/n falling in love with someone else will do the trick?" akilah asked.
charllote scoffed. "well, he's got the first part down, no problem."
bakugo's quirk went off before he blasted it in another direction. your two friends looked at each other and decided that it would be the quickest route to go with the first one.
so before he left, bakugo gave the girls his contact information and told them to contact him when they knew what they wanted to do. the blond felt responsible for the situation that unfolded in front of him. he felt that if he had been stronger, he wouldn't have let that stray arrow get away.
as he was walked away, you stared at his figure with a longing in your eyes. you could hear what they were saying the whole time so you knew it was the quirk that was making you feel this way but it felt so real to you.
and that made you upset. these feelings that you had never felt before were all due to a stupid quirk.
when bakugo had finally left your sight, you felt the fog in your brain clear up. fixing yourself, you turned on your heel and walked away from the scene.
your friends quickly followed you in pursuit, worried for you. the whole walk back, you refused to speak about the situation that had happened and they both felt like they took part in it.
charllote for being the one to pull you to the area of the fight and akilah for not being sensible enough to notice the arrow coming her way— the same one you took for her.
feeling guilty, both girls continued to apologize but you didn't think it was either of their fault. after all, everything you did was on your free will. what was really confusing you was bakugo. you weren't new to who he was.
the ua sports festival was an international event and although most americans didn't stream it, you did. the school you went to back in america was a hero school but it was nothing compared to the complexities and specialties that was ua high.
you loved the place and made sure to consume any media they put out, so the sports festival was one of your favorite.
last year, bakugo was deemed as the winner for the first years. it wasn't until he told you his name that you recognized who he really was.
"bakugo katsuki..." you mumbled to yourself.
you were sure that the blond had said when you were away from him, your consciousness would be returned to you. so why was it that you currently had the same bubbly feeling you did when he was standing in front of you?
unbeknownst to you, today marked the first day of your story with katsuki bakugo.
