My Hero Academia Imagines

Observant (Bakugou Katsuki)

Bakugou Katsuki:

Bakugou Katsuki was strange and constantly contradicting himself in matters involving none other then the current holder of his affections and possibly his heart if he would ever admit it to himself.

While his words struck him as the type to not really care about her or the people around the two of them, anyone who knew Bakugou knew that this was the furthest from the truth. In fact, the boy only had a bad way of expressing himself and as such... he constantly made himself seem like a malevolent person as a result.

Aside from his rather vulgar tongue, Bakugou also was thought to rush into things and not be observant of his surroundings. Another false statement. While he did act quickly, it was only because he was quick-witted and quick on his feet, as was his own intelligence.

He was one of the hardest people to hide something from and would notice any and all little things. He knew when you were sad, when you were happy ,when you were frustrated. It was always written right over your face and with a simple word or two from him, you'd confess it all to him like he was a priest.

So why in the hell were you lying to him recently? He could see the marks on your skin and the bruises under that concealer. He knew you were not at any 'extra training' or had fallen down earlier... he knew because he got those same marks from when someone gave you a beat down and you could do nothing about it. Something he learned when the number one hero himself decided to teach him a lesson during midterms.

He was quick to find out about the bullies as well, as rumors and comments traveled fast in high school. Apparently, the bullies were some jealous girls in general ed who were beating you over the fact that you had gotten into the hero course.

He knew you had a bit of a passive attitude, the total opposite to his, but you tended to focus more on rescue then fighting. Which explains why you were getting the shit knocked out of you. And like him, your pride would not let you admit to the harassment to anyone, probably even to yourself.

But what made it worse, was the small little inkling of anger that swelled in his chest that these girls thought they could get away with it because they knew you were passive. They assumed nothing would happen to them because you didn't like to cause trouble.

And that made him pissed.

These girls were taking advantage of you, on top of the bullying. He never understood how female grudges go, but he did understand that unlike male ones, females ones tended to be buried more in emotions. So he already had an idea that these girls were mostly taking out their own insecurities on you. You had done nothing wrong, and he had trouble trying to understand why you were chosen for the target.

There were plenty of others they could have started bullying... but the only difference between these people and you were that you were known to stay peaceful. A perfect target.

However, what these girls didn't know or expect was for the Bakugou Katsuki: resident beast of class 1-A, the scariest student, and most violent hero to suddenly call them out after school one day.

He had noticed them walking towards you and made sure to block their path before you noticed any of them or himself. The girls visibly shook, knowing the rumors around him were some of the absolute worse surrounding any UA student. And now here he was, sadistic smirk and boiling crimson eyes looking at them.

"Let's have a little talk, you got me?" He walked forward, letting off an intimidating pulse of heat.

The following weeks after his little talk, he was more attentive to you and those around you. The bruises had stopped as did the excuses, but the confusion seemed to grow on your face.

Not only had those girls suddenly stopped, but they seemed rather scared of you now. And to top this all off, Bakugou had gotten a bit clingy as well. Now you didn't mind this last part, as you liked having him close to you. But this was sort of a strange set of coincidences.

"Did you do something I should be aware of Bakugou-kun?"

You looked at him suspiciously one day at lunch, the two of you sitting under a tree. He had been distant when those girls suddenly walked by, and he pulled you into him protectively. The girls only nodded hurriedly before dashing off.

"Why would you think that, dumbass?"

"Well... you're actually acting like a boyfriend... for starters."

"The hell do you mean?! I always act like a damn good boyfriend!"

You giggled, gently poking his blushing cheeks. He scoffed and pulled you away, no longer want to embrace you. All he did and you go and say that... though in your defense you didn't exactly know what he did...

"I don't know exactly what you did... if you did anything- but if you did-" You kissed his cheek sweetly. "Thank you. You're my hero."

Bakugou got up, grabbing his stuff and quickly walking away, his own heart threatening to bounce out of his chest if he sat there any longer.

"I have no fucking idea what you're talking about!"

You giggled and watched him go, a happy look on your face and a warm feeling in your chest. He tried to act like a jerk so hard... but you knew he was nothing more than a dedicated and loving person underneath that front.
