With Gloves On [K. Bakugo]

To everyone in Class 1-A, Kozue Takami is a force to be reckoned with. She's fiercely confident, brilliant in a fight, and walked into U.A. High through recommendation scores that rivaled the top of the class. She commands respect, wears a sharp smile, and never, under any circumstances, takes off her custom-made gloves.

They think it's just hero gear.

They think her confidence is absolute.

They're wrong.

Beneath the armor and the bold attitude is a girl fighting a daily war against her own hands and a past she'd rather leave in the ashes. Kozue is determined to be a shield for the world, but keeping the facade from cracking is getting harder by the day. Especially when Katsuki Bakugo starts watching her just a little too closely.

In a world of heroes and villains, the most dangerous thing Kozue can do is let her guard down because some powers aren't meant to be handled with care.
