Cliché [Katsuki Bakugou]

Birthday [1/??]

You don't know what it was that caused you to be drawn to Katsuki Bakugo when you were children, but something did and it kept you as his friend for some reason. It could have been his confidence or his Quirk or anything, but you just no idea what it was. At times your mom would joke that it was a crush and you would sneer a bit, shaking your head and saying that there was no way you liked him like that, no way you would ever like Katsuki as more than a friend.

What a lie. You were head over heels for him. You had no idea how it happened but it did. You had fallen for your explosive friend, and it kind of sucked honestly.

You didn't want to ruin the good friendship you had with him. While you and Izuku were best friends, you and Katsuki seemed to have a different kind of friendship, one you couldn't describe, but you enjoyed it.

Maybe that was what led to your crush on him. The fact that you were able to easily converse with him and spent a good portion of your free time with blond was probably the reason you felt these romantic feelings for him.

But even though you had these feelings, you were certain Katsuki would never like you as more than a friend.

Why would someone with such an amazing Quirk like you, the Quirkless girl of Aldera Junior High? It wouldn't make sense, not now not ever. And you were sure that if you did confess, he'd brush you off while making a remark about how he'd never date a Quirkless girl. Your mind was so certain of that, you could almost hear him say it when you gave thought to confessing.

It got to the point you were whining about it to Izuku, who just gave you gentle smiles and patted you on the back when you did so.

"He would say no and then it would be awkward and our friendship would never be the same again, I just know it!"

You may have been quiet at school and in public, but when at home or with Izuku, you showed your true colors and acted like yourself. Social anxiety be damned, it was the whole reason you were too scared to even try confessing to Katsuki, despite Izuku's many attempts to convince you that it would be better to get it out in the open than to keep it bottled up forever and not know.

After all, Katsuki was sure to get into UA when he took the exams next year, and if that happened before you confessed? Goodbye any chance you had of knowing if he felt the same.

And you agreed, which is why you decided you would confess to him.

On his birthday.

Because you were that damned cliché.

Plus you felt it was the best day to tell him. Maybe he'd be in a good enough mood that telling him wouldn't be so bad or maybe he'd be nice and turn you down politely, you weren't sure.

You were sure, however, that your heart was going to beat so hard it would fly out of your chest. Just thinking about telling Katsuki you liked him made you feel nervous, there were butterflies in your stomach and you felt like you were going to be sick.

It was awful yet wonderful at the same time, if that was even possible. Class seemed to be going by well and you would anxiously steal glances at Katsuki through class, quietly fiddling with your phone and wondering how you should tell him. You could always be even more cliché and ask him to stay behind after class and tell him, but that would be too obvious.

You two did always walk home together, maybe tell him then? Perhaps he wouldn't think anything was weird, apart from you probably being even more quiet than normal.
