Tenya isn't sure of what part of his situation leaves him with a thumping heart and a dry mouth. This isn't his first time laying eyes on Katsuki Bakugou by a long shot. In fact, he's been looking at him almost every single day for several semesters now---sometimes with eyes much too inappropriate to be becoming of a future hero. It could be the oddly shocking new knowledge that the explosive teen is working a part-time at some no-name diner against the rules of U.A's hero course. But he's willing to bet it's everything to do with that skimpy little uniform he's wearing. or, Iida pines over our favorite blasty boy and is actually really bad at taking hints.

Bakugo may have one of the strongest quirks in class 1A but his quirk has some serious side effects. Side effects of his quirk include burns, headaches, muscle cramps, and the most concerning, hearing loss. Using his quirk for years that close to his ears has left him now almost completely deaf. One day, after a battle, he becomes quiet and his classmates start to worry. What was happening to their dear friend?
