another request!
these were all requested by the lovely @NatiSet , with the prompts 'a whisper in the ear', 'with no space between us', 'during a storm' (instead of making separate ones for each prompt, i decided to combine them all again, i hope that's okay with you!)
enjoy!
*note: y/n is a female in this : )

Bakugou had a secret.
Behind the layers of pride and confidence, there was a small, insecure, terrified boy. A boy who didn't feel strong enough, smart enough, qualified enough to stand where he stood.
Instead of using his achievements as confidence boosters, they acted as nervous 'what ifs'. What if he isn't strong enough for the next sports festival? What if Midoriya surpasses him with the power that still drove Bakugou crazy with questions? What if?
These questions fill his mind in the dark hours of the night when there's nothing that keeps him company other than the quiet ticking of his clock and the sound of cars passing by his window, and they've only gotten worse and worse as the year progressed, as he saw how far Midoriya has come and how quickly he is to surpassing him.
And tonight, he felt as if he was drowning.
---
Bakugou sighed as he stared up at the ceiling, the rain slamming against his window. With each raindrop came a new what if. A new question. A new doubt.
He sat up and looked out the window, gazing at his reflection. For the first time in his life, Bakugou had no idea who was staring back at him. It wasn't him, no, it couldn't be - Bakugou couldn't remember the last time he had seen himself cry.
Shaking his head slightly, he wiped his eyes with the sleeve of his tank top and got out of bed. "If I'm just going to be here crying my ass off, I might as well go outside and take a walk or something, right?" He murmured to no one in particular.
Bakugou pulled on his shoes and hurriedly left his dorm, looking down the hallway to make sure nobody could see him. He then opened the door silently and slid out, but not before double checking the main room for anybody who could be lurking nearby.
Luckily or unluckily for Bakugou, someone did see him.
---
Ever since Y/N agreed to be Bakugou's girlfriend, she couldn't help but notice that he wasn't exactly the over confident, arrogant boy that he seemed to be.
It started off as expressions of doubt that passed across his face during class, until it progressed into several nights of Bakugou shutting himself in his room to "sleep", and Y/N fell for it at first. Until she heard crying coming from the other side of the door.
Y/N was worried. She just knew Bakugou had to be insecure and doubtful of himself, but she knew that he would never let that side of him show. Especially not in front of her.
So when Y/N woke up to see Bakugou leave the dorm in the middle of the night, she knew this was her time to take action. She was going to talk to him.
She was going to turn Bakugou into the confident person he tries so hard to be.
---
Bakugou made his way across the dorm grounds and to the school, each step bringing forth a new doubt. He suddenly stopped by the training grounds, where class 1-A had their first physical exam.
Midoriya was so weak back then - he failed nearly every test. Bakugou stared at the ground. He was so much more stronger than Midoriya.
"What happened? Have I really become that weak?" Bakugou said to himself, pushing his wet hair out of his eyes.
"Yeah, that's gotta be it, right? It wasn't Deku that improved so quickly - it was me. It was me all along. I've become weak." Bakugou said, much more loudly than before.
Bakugou laughed at himself. "You're so fucking stupid Bakugou. Can't you see? You can't become the #1 hero if you're this weak."
He laughed again, and again, and again. But he was confused - he was laughing, but why were tears streaming down his face?
Suddenly, Bakugou felt someone drape a jacket over him.
Bakugou turned around.
Y/N.

Bakugou's eyes widened as he quickly rubbed his eyes with his sleeve. Not that it mattered anyways - he couldn't tell what were tears and rain anymore.
"Bakugou, I-
- what, Y/N? What? Are you surprised that I'm not the person that you had a crush on? Well, I'm fucking sorry that I can't live up to your expectations, that I've become so weak that even fucking Deku can beat me."
"Bakugou, that isn't what I-
- it isn't what you were going to say? Well, you thought about it, didn't you? I'm so fucking weak and powerless I don't know what to do with myself anymore."
Bakugou's voice softened. "I-I don't deserve you, Y/N. You had a crush on the strong, powerful me, but now even that's gone. You deserve someone who will always be strong, for you and everyone around them, and I'm not that fucking person-
Y/N grabbed Bakugou's face and kissed him, refusing to let go and listen to the utter nonsense that was coming out of his mouth.
After breaking off the kiss, Y/N wrapped her arms around Bakugou's torso, burying her face in his chest.
"Please, don't ever tell me that I don't deserve you." She whispered.
Bakugou looked down at the girl.
"Why?"
Y/N looked up, her E/C eyes gazing into Bakugou's red ones.
"I love you."
For a moment, the doubts and what ifs that plagued Bakugou's mind disappeared - along with the tears that washed away with the rain.

aaah this was very bad yikes
i know i've been MIA (again) :( i was focusing on exams/projects as school started to end, which gave me no time to watch/read bnha or any other anime, which made me start to slip/lose interest in anime altogether.
BUT, i've started watching anime and getting into the swing of things again (mainly watching the second season of aot and opm !!) and i'm back!
after going through the comments, i think i've found all of the requests i've gotten since i was gone. for now, i'm going to work on finishing all of the 'i love you' requests and then i'll tackle the general requests i got from you guys!
but until then, that's it for now!
toodles,,
