Promise (Bakugou Katsuki)

Bakugou Katsuki:

Writing Prompt # 46- 'What if I told you I've been in love with you since we were kids.'

Looking back, the promises made in one's childhood should never be taken seriously. For example, if one had promised themselves at a young age that they would fall in love with a Prince and be married off happily by age 16, chances are one would not see this as a serious promise.

However, if one had promised to marry a close childhood friend at an early age, that should also be taken lightly right? It was a simple toddler idea of love and how marriage works, not an actual proposal right?

Or at least that's what Bakugou had wished his childhood friend (Name) would take into account and realize. His stupid declaration of puppy love and marriage was enough to make your small heart flutter at the time and both of your mother's squeal with delight. Though in reality he only wanted to marry you because he had been there when your quirk emerged.

And to the four year old Bakugou, you suddenly became someone much cooler, thus he wanted you all to himself. And what's the best way to do that? Marry them. But when he got his quirk, the thought had all but vanished from his mind.

Or at least he wanted too, but you would always bring it up when he least expected it.

"So Kacchan, I was thinking..." You had started during one of the breaks. "Do you think pink and ivory or blue and ivory would be better for our wedding colors?"

"For the last fucking time... I'm not marrying you!" He huffed.

By this time and after hearing about it for over a decade, his explosive calls had ended whenever you brought it up, and now were instead retorted with an exhausted and frustrated tone. Like a parent after a long car ride with a young child.

You giggled and scurried away before he would actually blow up at you. You had known him since the two of you were newborns, thus you knew his tendencies fairly well.

"Y'know... you've never explained why they always brings up this marriage thing? You two in an arranged one or something?" Kaminari asked.

"She fucking wishes..." Bakugou growled and scoffed at the thought of his parents actually trying to have him in a quirk marriage. If that ever happened... there would be more swearing than usual.

"So what's the deal then bro?" Kirishima pressed on.

"When we were little, according to my shit mom, the moment they got their quirk I asked then to marry me... to which they accepted."

Kaminari let out a snort and Kirishima beamed excitedly. This was quite a piece of information!

"Well I suppose it makes sense then." Kirishima mumbled.

"Yeah it sure does!" Kaminari agreed.

"What are you fucks going on about now?"

"Well they're waiting for you dude!" Kaminari exclaimed like it was obvious.

"Huh?" Bakugou huffed and got worked up on his cryptic words.

"Well it's pretty obvious that they still like you. It's not like (Name)-san is not popular amongst the students at UA. But they always turn down the people who ask them out."

"So do you like them?" Kirishima asked, poking the explosive student as he did so. "Come on bro! You have to like her, that bond of childhood only grows stronger as you get older!"

"What does it matter? They never told me, so it must mean I'm not good enough to be fucking told!"

"Naw man, (Name) just doesn't want to risk losing your friendship. So instead they've relied on the promise you made to them to see if they should or not."

"Wow Kaminari! You're pretty smart when it comes to romance stuff!" Kirishima complimented his friend.

"It's my specialty!"

"You're both so fucking dumb that it's driving me mad..." Bakugou stood up and paced towards the classroom door.

"You going to confess to (Name)?" Kirishima called.

"WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I? THEY'RE JUST SOME SHIT I GREW UP WITH!?"

He slammed the door shut and the red haired and blonde haired boy exchanged knowing glances.

"He totally is... and he's gonna fuck it up." Kaminari chuckled.

"Good thing (Name)-san knows the type of person Bakugou is." Kirishima responded.

During this whole confrontation, you had been at the vending machine idly sipping on a strawberry milk. Break would be over soon, but you were in no hurry to get back.

"Hey shit eater, move over." Bakugou called out and you moved to the side so he could make a purchase.

When he had bought a drink he popped it open and leaned against the wall near you. He watched as you lazily sipped your drink and stared down at your phone.

"Hey." He said suddenly and you looked up at him.

"Hmmm?" You asked back, not sure why he suddenly wanted to make conversation now.

"You shouldn't hold onto such a dumb thing I said to you when we were kids, it shows how fucking ridiculous you are." He scolded you.

"Hmmm but that's the problem Kacchan." You swung your finger in front of him.

"And what's the fucking problem?"

"Well you see, that proposal changed everything for me."

"How so you dumbass?"

You giggled and shrugged your shoulders.

"How would you react if I told you that I've been in love with you since we were kids? Because you told me that?"

He choked on his drink and nearly blew up the can as a result.
