Kiyomi Bakugo has always been seen.
Pretty enough to turn heads, sharp enough to keep them there, she learned early on that attention was the only thing she could rely on. So she built herself around it-perfect, untouchable, and just cruel enough to stay in control. If people were going to call her a bitch, then she would be one. It was easier that way.
Easier than letting anyone get close enough to see the cracks.
Because beneath the polished image and cutting remarks, Kiyomi is fragile in ways she refuses to acknowledge. Her quirk mirrors it perfectly-beautiful, precise, and quick to shatter under pressure. And at U.A., where strength actually matters, she can feel it more than ever. The attention fades. The whispers change. And for the first time, being seen doesn't feel like enough.
So she sharpens her words. Plays her role better. Keeps people at a distance.
Until Eijiro Kirishima.
He doesn't react the way he's supposed to. Her insults don't land, her tone doesn't faze him-he just keeps going like she never said anything at all. No irritation, no admiration, no fear.
Just steady, unaffected normalcy.
And somehow, that unsettles her more than anything else.
Because if her words don't work-
if her act doesn't land-
then what is she left with?
