JOZAWA Conversation Hearts & SIDE STORIES tied to this work are on my page! (Y/n) was born with a water manipulation and creation quirk, destined to be a hero just like her mother. When her mother falls ill, she finds refuge in a childhood friend Izuku Midoryia in the fight to become a hero and stand up to their childhood bully Katsuki Bakugo. When she's partnered up with Katsuki for a big project, she struggles to deal with harsh words and fighting all the while wishing she could be by Todoroki's side instead. But Katsuki has something to say about that. Warning: Language (duh it's Bakugou) Bullying

Bakugo Katsuki isn't the type to fall in love-at least, that's what everyone thinks. (Y/n) doesn't believe she's worth anyone's attention, especially not his. But when his harsh voice softens around her, when his eyes linger a little too long, she starts to wonder if maybe she's not imagining it after all. It's a slow, burning kind of love-the kind that hurts before it heals. Inspired by Mitski's "First Love / Late Spring" - a story about quiet devotion, unspoken feelings, and learning to be loved by the person you least expected. 🥇 Bakugouxreader 06/11/25 🥇 myheroacademia 10/11/25 🥇 Bakugo 15/11/25
