"I don't know how to be like this. But I'm tryin'. For you."
Y/N grew up learning how to disappear.
She stayed quiet when it hurt. Took up less space. Learned how to smile when she wanted to scream.
She knows how to read people - their moods, their shifts, their silence - but she's still learning how to listen to herself.
Now she's twenty-one.
A pro hero with steady hands and a soft voice.
She tells herself she's fine. She always does.
Twenty-two, Pro Hero.
He's the same rough edged, explosive, quiet and aggressive guy.
But around her, it's different.
She's quiet, steady - and something in him wants to protect that.
So he keeps his distance. Not because he doesn't care,
but because he does. More than he ever had.
He's scared she'll get hurt.
Scared he will, too.
But no matter how far he pulls back...
she lingers.
In his head. In his chest. In all the places he thought were locked..

Reading Between the Screams
Being Katsuki Bakugo's childhood friend means you know the truth: his anger is a language, and you're the only one fluent enough to understand it. But as you both navigate the demanding world of U.A. High, the lines of your simple friendship begin to blur. He doesn't want to feel these feelings. He'll push you away with cruel words and a cold shoulder, determined to prove he doesn't need anyone. But the further he pushes, the more he realizes he can't stand the silence. This is a slow-burn story of hurt, comfort, and the agonizing realization that some bonds can't be broken.Complete
"Please.. Be Mine" // K. Bakugou x female reader
You, a girl who is socially awkward, undeniably introverted and a bit shy. Meets a guy who's explosive, aggressive personality and straightforwardness makes him stand out from everyone else, (well at least to you anyway) he's the exact opposite of you. Trying to get along might be a bit of a challenge as your relationship is a little complicated, and he's not exactly known as the friendly type but who knows? Only time will tell. Bad days happen to everyone, but when secrets unfold and bad days get too out of hand, it takes quite a toll on how you see yourself in the world of heroes.

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 15/11/25Complete

katsuki bakugo x f!reader 𔘓 slowburn ── .✦° ────────────────────── The first time you saw Katsuki Bakugo was at the UA Hero Course entrance exams. You two both attended Aldera Junior High, but had never spoken before. You two had never even been in the same class. Only once during your school's sports festival were you ever in the same vicinity. You didn't really care about the other classes, but Katsuki Bakugo was so loud he was almost impossible to ignore. It didn't help that some girls in your class had crushes on him. Loudly. They had a habit of asking you what you thought of him, wanting you to join in on their fangirling session. Your first impression of him was obnoxious. Very obnoxious. He was cute, sure, but so incredibly obnoxious. - or: You enter UA and begin to feel sick whenever you're near Katsuki Bakugo. Spoiler: you're in love. ♡ ∩_∩ ╭ („• ֊ •„)♡ ୨୧ ┈┈ • ┈╮ U U started .ᐟ 1 sept. 2025 ended .ᐟ ?? ╰┈ • ┈ ┈ ୨୧ ┈┈ • ┈╯ also on ao3 .ᐟ user: violetsatellite![Blood, Sweat And Tears [Bakugo x Reader] Katsuki Bakugo](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/255509572-256-k842043.jpg)

❛︎You're exhausting Bakugo.❜︎ ━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎ Y/n wasn't the most academically inclined, didn't have friends either. But that was no matter, her family dictated her destiny. All she needed to do was become their mindless puppet and obey. But obeying proved difficult with the constant buzzing of Bakugo's loud insults. She didn't time have for him, she couldn't waste a single second of the brief 6 hours she had away from duty and annoyance. But of course, Bakugo constantly pulled her from tranquility with his brash personality and crude words which Y/n took as an unspoken challenge. ━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎━︎ 𝘐 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘵 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘔𝘏𝘈 𝘐 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘺/𝘯 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘭𝘪𝘧𝘦.

Alexitheymia - (a Katsuki Bakugou fanfiction)
𓆣-Alexitheymia: (n.)the inability to express your feelings. ________________________________________ °°° "cowards,the both of us..." °°° ________________________________________ In the years following the Second Hero War, Japan's pro heroes are rebuilding their world-and themselves. When Mina Ashido hosts a quiet reunion with old friends, two unexpected guests cross paths for the first time: Katsuki Bakugou, the explosive #5 pro hero with a temper as sharp as his instincts, and Lola Miyori, the composed water manipulator from Hawks' agency, known for her calm strength and quiet reputation. Their first meeting is anything but smooth. A simple dinner turns tense, and pride burns brighter than reason. Yet beneath their sharp exchanges lies something neither can name-curiosity, recognition, and an undeniable pull. As fate keeps forcing them together-on missions, in crisis zones, and through moments of raw vulnerability-the line between rivals and allies begins to blur. Each encounter challenges their ideals, forcing Bakugou to confront his guarded arrogance and Lola to face her fear of being underestimated. Through tension, teamwork, and loss, their connection grows-slowly, painfully, beautifully. And when war rises again, explosions and waves will have to decide whether to fight alone-or burn and move together. °°°
When Gods Fall
She wasn't supposed to break. Not for him. Not for anyone. She's spent her life building walls, turning pain into armor, making sure no one gets close enough to see the cracks beneath the surface. But Katsuki Bakugo isn't like the rest. He doesn't ask-he demands. He doesn't comfort-he challenges. And maybe that's why she can't stop herself from slipping, from sinking into something that feels too much like losing control. Because falling for him isn't soft. It isn't safe. It's a wildfire-one that threatens to consume everything she's spent her life trying to protect. And she knows, deep down... once she falls, there's no coming back. - Katsuki Bakugo x OC - Aged up characters **NSFW** - Slow burn - slight enemies to lovers - Suggestive mature actions ** DO NOT READ IF UNDER 18** - I don't own any mha characters just MilanComplete
