You knocked on the door to a large, futuristic looking home, glancing at your phone. The door opened and you looked back up, grinning at an annoyed looking Bakugo.

  "Heya, Katsuki! I'm ready for my mind to be filled with knowledge! Well, knowledge about school."

  "Just hurry up and get inside. I don't want anyone to think I'm hanging out with a loser like you." Bakugo hissed, stepping to the side so you could walk in. You did so, gasping as you looked around the house, eyes filled with wonder. You whirled around to face Bakugo, eyes sparkling.

  "You live in the future, Bakugo!"

  The ash-blond couldn't help but snort, eyes momentarily glimmering with amusement.

  "Dumbass, this is a normal house. Now hurry up and sit down so we can study."

  You nodded your head, eagerly complying. Bakugo sighed, flopping down next to you. You opened your bag, taking out a stack of papers. He eyed them, then glanced at you.

  "What exactly do you need help with?"

  You smiled sheepishly, rubbing the back of your neck.

  "Everything."

  ☁︎︎☁︎︎☁︎︎

  "K-Katsuki, I can't anymore!"

  "Suck it up. I don't care if you're tired."

  "Katsuki, I-I'm gonna...I'm gonna..."

  "Hah?"

  "I'm gonna lose my mind! What the hell are quadratic functions, anyways?!" You whined, flopping against the couch. Bakugo grumbled, pinching the bridge of his nose.

  "I'm gonna explain this to you one more fucking time. Y is equal to X squared, and that's the parent function."

  He leaned close to you, furrowing his brows as he stared at the paper and traced lines over it. You turned red, feeling your heart thump as you felt his breath fan over your neck lightly. "You use that as the guideline on the parabola, and it makes the function. Got it?"

  You turned your head, E/C eyes connecting with his ruby red ones. His eyes widened for a second, just realizing how close you both were. But neither of you moved away.

  'Shit, she's...actually not that bad looking. Is this why all those idiots at school fawn over her?'  Bakugo thought, gazing into your eyes. You blushed, not taking your eyes off of him.

  'Uh, hey universe? What the fuck? What the fuck do I do in this situation? He's so close to my face, do I like...pet his hair or something? I don't know what to do, man!'

  Your eyes traveled down to his lips.

  'Oh, no, eyes, go back up! Go back up!'

  Your eyes complied, gazing back at him. You couldn't help but smirk, satisfied with your body's compliance. Bakugo took in a sharp breath, cheeks flushing. Your eyes widened slightly and you internally face palmed, realizing what you had just done.

  'I just gave him the look. I gave him the look. Why are my thoughts so noisy today?'

  Meanwhile, Bakugo was also panicking, although not as badly. More of in a Bakugo sort of way.

  'Did she just give me the fucking look? The look? Fucking airhead, who does she think she is, where does she get off looking at me like that? What, does she think I'm a pussy or something? Like I'm not gonna do anything about it? Like hell I'm not!'

  Bakugo's face slowly started to move towards you, and your eyes widened to the size of saucers. You froze up, mind and face blank. He parted his lips, crimson eyes staring at you challengingly, as if to say 'kiss me, you won't'. You gasped quietly and unfroze, also starting to move towards him. And just as your lips were about to meet...

  "Oi, brat! We're home!" You heard a woman's voice shout, the door slamming open. You squeaked and both you and Bakugo quickly turned away from each other, pretending to do homework.

  "A-anyways, you get it now, right?" Bakugo coughed, face red.

  "Y-yeah! The parabola thingy...and stuff..."

  Mitsuki walked past the two of you, stopping suddenly in her tracks as she noticed you. A smile grew on her face and she sat down next to Bakugo, eyes sparkling.

  "Well, if it isn't Miss Y/N! How's it going, kiddo? What're ya doing here?"

  You gulped, a shaky grin on your face. "Katsuki offered to tutor me since my grades started to slip, so that's what we're doing right now! Yep!"

  "Aah, quadratic functions, eh? I had trouble with those when I was your age, too." Mitsuki hummed, staring at the stack of papers in front of you. She looked up at Bakugo, eyes narrowing. "You haven't been causing her any trouble, right?"

  "No." Bakugo grumbled, averting his eyes from her. You heard a ding from your phone and quickly stood up, grabbing the stack of papers and shoving them into your bag. You smiled at Mitsuki and Bakugo, slinging your bag over your shoulder.

  "Well, sorry to cut this short, but my parents told me that dinner's ready. Nice seeing you again, Mr. and Mrs. Bakugo!" You turned your head to Bakugo, blushing slightly. "T-thanks for tutoring me, Katsuki. See ya!"

  And with that, you rushed out of the Bakugo household, making sure to carefully shut the door behind you.
