Chapter Text
Sometimes Bakugou contemplates why he ever decided to be friends with such morons. But nonetheless, here he was, sitting on the floor of Kirishima's dorm room, surrounded by Kirishima, Kaminari, Ashido, and Sero. The night started out normal with them playing Mario Kart, with Kaminari finding a way to cheat, Bakugou getting way to heated with every loss, Kirishima trying his best to not get killed, Sero laughing at the whole affair, and Ashido sitting back recording it all. That was until she got bored and started to stir things up by starting a conversation about crushes. So here they were sitting on the floor, Bakugou wanting to disappear more and more as the moments pass.
"So, Kaminari, which girl has caught your eye recently, " the pink haired girl inquired.
The boy in question blushed and looked down before mumbling, "Well, I guess Jirou is pretty cool..."
Ashido squealed, "Ha! I knew it, oh, I am totally going to set you two up!"
Kaminari sputtered, "Wa? No, don't do that, please!" If the look on his face was any indication of how he was feeling, then he was mortified.
"Oh relax," the girl dismissed, "She's totally into you, I can tell."
"Whatever," the blond responded, "Can we please just bother someone else now?" he pleaded.
"Fine," she agreed, "How about you Sero?"
Bakugou just sat there, praying that they would all be too scared to ask him anything. If there was anything Bakugou Katsuki hated most, it was talking about his feelings.
The black haired boy in question spoke up, "I dunno, that girl in class 1-B is pretty, hot... what's her name again... oh right, Kendo!"
"Geez, you can't even remember her name... how romantic," Kirishima mocked.
"Well, how 'bout you, anyone caught your eye," Sero retorted to the red head.
Kirishima's eyes widened, as he looked caught off guard, "N-no, 'course not,"
It was no secret that he and Ashido have been dancing around each other for a while now, but neither has built up the confidence to actually make the first move, really, it was just getting old at this point, Bakugou thought.
Kirishima looked down not saying a word and everyone was silent for a second, before Kaminari had to break the silence.
"What about you Blasty! Any ...uh ...guys that have got your attention?" He asked awkwardly.
Bakugou couldn't help but roll his eyes, it was no secret to anyone that he was gay, as he did nothing to hide it. Though this was true, some people still made a point of being extremely awkward everytime they mentioned his sexuality.
Before Bakugou could even think of a response, Sero spoke up, "Is there even any guys in our grade that you know of that are gay?"
"Well, I heard something about Midoriya being bi," Ashido stated.
"That's sounds like just a rumor," replied Kirishima.
"What do you think Bakugou?" asked Kaminari.
"What do you mean 'What do I think?'" He said rudely, "I could not give less of a fuck about that nerd and his love life," it was clear that Bakugou was getting increasingly more irritated.
"Yeah, but you're gay right? Don't you have like a gaydar or something?" Kaminari inquired like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"I don't have a fucking gaydar you dumbass. What kind of stupid question is that?" Bakugou looked like he was about to snap at any moment now.
Kirishima smiled, "Well, let's just say Midoriya did in fact like guys, what would be your thoughts?"
That sent Bakugou off the rails.
"AS IF I WOULD EVER FALL FOR DEKU, SHITTY HAIR," he screamed.
"Whoa, never said you would, it was just a question," Kirishima said in his defense.
"Tsk, whatever, like I care about shitty Deku anyway," the ash blond boy dismissed.
"Well, I dunno, from your response it seems like you care at least a little bit," Ashido commented bluntly.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP PINKY," the explosive boy shouted.
"No, Mina is right," Kirishima agreed, "Why do you hate Midoriya so much?"
"NONE OF YOU FUCKING BUSINESS DUMBASS," Bakugou continued to yell, "I just don't like him!" As he screamed at his friends they could see little explosions coming from his palms and they started to get scared.
After his outbursts nobody dared mess with Bakugou for the rest of the night. They didn't want to risk possibly being exploded into oblivion after all.
Later that night when Bakugou was back in his room he was laying down on his bed and staring at his ceiling for what seemed like forever. He usually had no problem falling asleep yet tonight was an exception. It was almost 2:30 AM and all he had been doing is tossing and turning. He kept thinking back to Kirishima's question from earlier. Why did he hate Deku so much? From the way he talks to the boy most would just think Bakugou thinks of the other as weak, or is simply annoyed by him, but that's not true. No, the real reason that Bakugou hates Midoriya Izuku started a long time ago.
