"𝐁𝐚𝐤𝐮𝐠𝐨." "𝙒𝙝𝙖𝙩 !?" "𝐒𝐡𝐮𝐭 𝐮𝐩 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲." ---- When (y/n)'s best friend Jiro asks her to fill in as lead guitarist for a one-night charity concert, she expects awkward rehearsals, maybe some stage fright, and definitely a headache or two. She does not expect to be stuck teaching Katsuki Bakugo-explosive, loud, annoyingly talented Bakugo-how to sing and drum at the same time. He's passionate, intense, frustratingly competitive... and absolutely clueless about keeping tempo while opening his mouth. Somehow, that becomes her problem. Between late-night practices, chaotic band drama, and the confusing warmth that keeps growing whenever Bakugo looks at her, (y/n) finds herself swept into a rhythm she didn't know she was missing. It was supposed to be one concert. One night. One favor. But sparks fly when opposites collide, and soon (y/n) learns that some accidents... create a chain reaction you can't stop.

" 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜, 𝙤𝙧 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙮𝙖 𝙜𝙤𝙣𝙣𝙖 𝙗𝙚 𝙖 𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙤, 𝘾𝙖𝙩 𝙀𝙮𝙚𝙨? " " 𝕀.. 𝕌𝕙𝕙.. 𝕀 𝕘𝕦𝕖𝕤𝕤..? " " 𝘿𝙖𝙢𝙣 𝙧𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩 " •─────⋅☾ ☽⋅─────• He's explosive. She's quiet. 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
