"Wouldn't it make your fans jealous?" Kirishima asked.

"Tch. I already make them jealous of my existence. With you, it'll add fuel to the fire." Bakugo wears a devilish smirk as he interlocks his hands with Kirishima's.

Katsuki Bakugo is well known for his time drumming for Jiro's band Deep Dope. After a short run of shows in Japan, their last show brings them back to their hometown of Tokyo and to a nearby bar after said show. After Kirishima left him for unknown reasons, he kept his emotions under wraps.

After a sleep disturbance at around 1 AM, Bakugo gets a call indicating his friends were in trouble. He didn't expect to see his face again after so long, and soon enough, Bakugo will understand why his former flame made those choices.

I got this idea from the Cultural Festival Arc! A Kiribaku fanfic is what we need!

*NO QUIRK, AU*

Reader Discretion Advised: the story will contain alcohol use, minor drug references, death discussion, suggestive themes, and other topics that may be sensitive to some readers. There might be a warning.

I recommend using whatever kind of headphones/earbuds you use for listening to music. Some artists are personal favorites of mine or songs I enjoy outside of most genres (i. e., rock, metal) covered in this story.

[Indefinite Hiatus/ Discontinued?] :( Bakugou is an upcoming famous rapper. One night, instead of staying in the recording studio until the break of dawn, his friends drag him out to go see a movie. Kirishima was working a late shift at the local movie theater. It was a slow night and he was starting to get tired. That is until his favorite rapper walks in with a group of friends. Was Ground Zero really there, or is Kirishima just hallucinating? Nope. It's really him. And he's making his way over to the bubbly red head to buy a snack or two. This is absolutely amazing. He's actually talking to his favorite rapper! The only problem is that he isn't exactly striking up a conversation. Only the usual "Hello, what would you like?" and "Have a nice day!" are coming out of his mouth. Little does Kirishima know, Bakugou can't talk either. He's too awestruck to even think straight. But of course he can't think straight, he's gay... and in the closet. Kirishima on the other hand, is completely out. If Bakugou's secret gets out to the media, it could end his entire career. What happens when an exclusive relationship blooms between the two? And how long can Kirishima be kept a secret? Will Bakugou choose his career or the red head hotty behind the counter? ⚠️WARNING⚠️ This book contains: Ships include: •Fluff • Kiribaku/Bakushima •Smut • Tododeku •Explicit language • Shinkami •Angst •Homophobic scenarios •Bl (boy love/ boyxboy) If any of the above bothers or triggers you, then I suggest that you don't read this book.

Hiraku Nakahara had made a lot of choices throughout her entire childhood. She had chosen to live happily despite her tragic past. She had chosen to follow her guardians. She had chosen to be a pro hero. And she had chosen to accept that her life would end earlier than others. But meeting Katsuki Bakugou made her regret some choices. She regretted not meeting him earlier. If she had, then maybe they would have more time. She regretted following her guardians. If she refused, then maybe she wouldn't lose a lot of people. She regretted being a young pro hero. If she waited, then maybe she'd go to school and make wonderful friends. But she would never regret dying earlier. Because meeting Katsuki Bakugou made her realize that her early end was worth it. He showed her that she deserved everything that she was owed. He showed her that he would do anything to save her from her tragic end. And he loved her. He loved her. Not because she was strong or beautiful. He didn't love her because she was Asra. He loved her because she was her. He loved Nakahara Hiraku. That is when she realized how it was worth every second of pain to die for someone like Katsuki Bakugou. She would do everything for him. And if she died saving him? Then it was worth it. ... OCxKatsuki Warning: There are a bit of vulgar words since it is Katsuki, but I tried to lessen them as much as possible.
