Work Text:
Nobody knew how this was possible. How did the hot-headed, anger issued, rude boy end up with the sweet, calm and discreet girl?
Well it all started pretty simply.
Y/N was a very calm and collected girl. Even though most people in class 1-A liked her she didn't talk much. She never really tried to make herself noticed, she just wanted to be a hero like everyone.
Things started to change when Mr. Aizawa called her up after class to tell her that her grades in math were catastrophic.
"You're an overall good student, but if you keep failing in math, I'm afraid you won't graduate." Aizawa told her with his usual tired tone.
"But mister," she retorded, "All might said I was doing fine with my quirk training and super hero classes... " The girl was becoming hesitant.
"You're doing average in these classes, you need to step up your GPA." He corrected, "But don't worry, I'll have one of your comrades tutor you. You'll show me your progress in the upcoming test in two weeks. Got it?"
The H/C haired girl nodded and bowed to her teacher "Thank you very much Mr. Aizawa! I won't disappoint you!" She spoke with determination.
The next day, Mr. Aizawa announced to the class about the upcoming test, and gave them exercices to do for training, resulting to several grunts and "Oh no's" from the students.
"Okay kids, open up your books page 213 and solve the entire page's problems. You have 30 minutes until we correct." Aizawa ordered.
After 5 minutes, Bakugou, being the Prodigy, straight-A student he is, finished his work before everyone, and started glaring daggers off into the distance with his feet put on his desk.
Aizawa noticed and inquired "Bakugou are you done?"
"Hell yeah I am, that was fucking easy." the explosive boy replied cockily.
"Well good news I have a task for you" Aizawa's bored eyes moved from Bakugo to Y/N "Bakugou, you'll help L/N do her exercices."
The H/C haired girl perked up at this, and the whole class stared at the two.
"WHAT?? NO FUCKING WAY!! WHY ME??" Bakugou could feel steam coming out of his ears as he heard whispers and giggles from the whole class, especially from Kirishima, Kaminari and Ashido.
Unfazed, the teacher said "I didn't ask you questions this is an order, you'll tutor her, end of story."
With that said, Bakugo growled and let out a "tch" meanwhile Aizawa started to nap on his desk. The H/C haired girl came up to Bakugou with her stuff and softly spoke.
"Um, Bakugou-kun?" He barely even glanced at her "Thank you for tutoring me, sorry if it bothers you..." she added with a nervous smile while putting her stuff down gently on his desk.
At this point the boy felt tingly inside. Something about this girl felt very soothing, maybe it was her hushed voice, her soft manners or her delicate scent?
"Whatever." he grunted. She placed a chair next to him, sat down and got back to work.
After a moment of silence she muttered. "Oh I left my book on my table..."
Without thinking the boy just put his own between them and said reluctantly. "Here, just read that one and solve it or whatever and I'll tell you where you fucked up."
She smiled a tiny smile at his choice of words, such a tough cookie he was. She subconsciously leaned close to him while trying to read the problem before her.
Bakugo started to feel uncomfortable as her soft (h/t) hair slightly brushed his now flushed face. He looked at her with an eyebrow raised while she softly asked.
"I solved the first part of the problem and found X, but at the second question my results just don't match and I can't use the formula."
He leaned close to read what she wrote, while struggling to concentrate on her work with her mesmerizing charm distracting him.
After a moment he grabbed her pen to scribble on her paper to explain where she messed up. His large calloused hands brushed her small soft ones while doing so and he could swear his heart skipped three beats.
"Yeah you used the wrong formula, you stupid. You were supposed to use it if there were two unknown variables, here you have just one, so you should have used this one." He then scribbled the formula with is messy shaky writing "Don't forget it next time or else you're fucked."
"Oh I see!" she exclaimed, "You explain well Bakugo-kun! Thank you, you're the best"
She beamed at him and softly looked into his blood red eyes with her (e/c) ones.
The blond boy fought back a ghost of a smile and turned his head to hide his evergrowing blush —and miserably failed— while muttering.
"Damn right I'm the fucking best, who the fuck..." He paused, "...do you think I am?" He wanted to slap himself for nearly stuttering there.
That never happened before, he felt so weak and confused as to how this girl could shake him up while barely doing anything but existing.
She continued on working while the boy just rest his face on his hands, thinking about how stupid he felt because of her.
'After this I'm DONE with this tutoring bullshit!'
30 minutes passed and Aizawa was asking students to correct the exercices at the board, then went to the moment for Y/N to be chosen.
Nervously she went to the board and wrote all the calculus and formulas, without making any mistakes. Some students cheered for her, glad that she finally aced a math problem.
The girl happily smiled at Bakugo and shot him little thumbs up, which in response, Bakugou scoffed but couldn't help but shoot her a tiny thumb up too
'Quit that cute bullcrap already, goddamit...'
"Very well done L/N, I see Bakugou didn't fail you, I'm proud." Aizawa smugly glanced at Bakugou.
The boy flinched and yelled "WHAT DO YOU MEAN FAIL HER? SHE'S THE ONE THAT DIDN'T FAIL ME!"
Silence.
"Whaaat? Did I hear correctly?" sneered Ashido.
"Did THE Bakugou Katsuki compliment our L/N Y/N? " added Kaminari with a sly smile.
"He said it loud too, like a proud parent! " said Kirishima.
"How sweet!" squealed Uraraka.
"I SHIP IT" yelled Yaoyorozu.
Afterwards the entire class started commenting and laughing at how Bakugou has acted awfully nice to the silent girl, who was dying of embarassement on the spot, but who was also pretty grateful that Bakugou had treated her well.
Meanwhile said boy was getting extremely impatient by now, with explosions shooting out of his hands.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP ALREADY YOU LOSERS I'LL FUCKING END YOU!" No words could explain how heated his face was right now.
Class finally ended, students were going out slowly, some still sneering about the newly made ship. The classroom was nearly empty when Y/N caught Bakugou up before he could leave.
"Bakugou-kun, I'm... Sorry about the commotion today, but I'm really grateful you're helping me." she said with a nervous laugh.
The blond boy couldn't bring himself to get mad at her, it wasn't her fault in the first place, and he was too tired to shout anyway. He just roughly patted her head with a small smile and said.
"Yeah yeah don't sweat it L/N, next time I tutor someone it'll be out of these assholes' sight."
The h/c haired girl hesitated "Um.. Actually Mr. Aizawa said you'll be tutoring me until the exam so...Let's see each other often... Katsuki-kun."
She showed him a beautiful smile and Bakugou's eyes widened as his cheeks reddened and his heart pounded in his chest. He couldn't believe it.
More sessions like today? But this time they'll be alone?? And...and... 'Katsuki' ???
This boy is SO not ready.
