Work Text:
It was the first day of UA high. Y/n has been excitedly awaiting this day ever since she’s gotten accepted. With quick strides, she makes her way past the enterence and onto the campus.
It’s even bigger in real life! Photos online don’t do this place justice. She exclaims in her head.
She watches as the other students make their way inside the building. Many of their quirks fascinating her as she stares around in awe.
Y/n barely slept a wink as excitement would not let her body rest. She wondered about the teachers and how it would feel learning from pro heroes everyday, what kind of classmates she’d have, and most importantly, making friends.
Making friends is always something that has come easy to Y/n. With her bubbly personality and friendly nature, people find her fun to he around.
I hope there’s a lot of girls in my class . She wishes in her head. Y/n found it harder to befriend boys than it was to befriend girls. But now that she is officially a UA sudent, struggle came part with the job and that included making friends.
Here goes… She mentally braces herself as she grips the handle to her class’s room tight. ‘1-A’ the sign above the door read.
Y/n opens the door to allow herself in, slightly panicking as she spots the class almost full. Am I late?!!??! She takes out her phone to check the time, only sighing in relief once she sees she 5 minutes early.
A pink-skinned girl with matching short pink hair and horns makes her way to Y/n. “Another girl! Yes!!!” The girl jumps, looking back to a group of girls that sat together. They watch as she energetically greet Y/n.
“Hi! I’m Mina Ashido! What’s your name?” She grins.
“I’m Y/n!” She replies back just as eager. Was she already making a friend?
“Come here let me introduce you to the other girls!” Mina drags her over to the cluster of girls curiously observing Y/n.
“I’m Y/n. Nice to meet you all!” She smiles, the girls share their excitement and introduce themselves to her one by one.
“My name’s Kyoka Jiro.”
“I’m Momo Yaoyorozu. Nice to meet you Y/n.”
“I’m Tsuyu Asui. Ribbit.”
“And my name’s Toru Hagakure!”
“We’ve literally all met just now! How funny is that!” Mina laughs.The first day of school is when everyone is looking to make new friends. It has only been 20 minutes since the girls first met, eagerly greeting eachother and sticking to one another as more and more boys entered the class. When the girls first caught sight of Y/n, they hurriedly pushed Mina to bring her over. Not wanting to overwhelm her if they all went to say hi.
Now that the six of them chatter amongst themselves, a thought weighs deep in their minds as class became minutes and minutes less until it officially begins.
Are we the only girls? They stare at the classroom full of boys.
“Hey!” A gravely shout is heard, the classroom is silent as a certain blond haired boy angerly stomps over to the girls.
Intimidated, they all freeze seeing the boy approach with a killer glare. What’s got him so mad this early in the day?
He stops dead in front of Y/n, his right hand reaching to firmly grip and title her face up to examine. The class stare in stunned silence. He slowly turns her face side to side, closely eyeing every detail of her face.
He instantly recognized her. Remembering the girl he thought he’d never see again. But something about her ticked him off, and he didn’t know what. When she walked in the room, all his attention was on her. She hadn’t seen him so he took his time catching the differences on her.
Locking eyes when her face is brought back to the middle, Y/n lets out a soft gasp. “Kacchan?”
The door slams open to reveal a green haired, freckled boy along side a cute, rosy cheeked girl, entering the classroom while deep in conversation.
Immediately recognizing the boy, Y/n quickly pushes away from the blond and rushes to the freckled boy.
“IZUKU!!!!” She shouts, jumping mid-air and crash landing on him in a tight bear hug, squeezing all the oxygen out of his lungs.
Dazed and confused, Midoriya shyly returns the hug. Who is this girl? He shriek in his head. Clearly she knew him, so why didn’t he recognize-
“Y/N?! IS THAT YOU???!!!!” His eyes pop out of his head.
Pulling away from the hug and gleefully jumping up and down, Y/n frantically nods her head. “It is! It’s me! What are you doing here?!?!?”
“I- I got accepted!” He blinks, staring at his childhood friend.
Midoriya, Bakugou, and Y/n were close friends long before any of them began developing their quirks. They’ve always an inseparable trio. Despite Bakugou’s extreme harsh personality and bullying, Y/n always found a way to bully him more into hanging out with them. However because of Bakugou’s unfriendly tendencies, Midoriya and Y/n were far closer to eachother than they were to the blond. But they never left him out of anything.
That was all until Y/n’s family had to move out of Tokyo during middle school.
Four years ago
“You can’t leave us Y/n!” Midoriya cries out, tears welling in his eyes.
“I don’t wanna go!” Y/n blurts, rushing to hug the now crying green haired boy.
The two held eachother close on their last time together a week before their 1st year of middle school begun. The three stood in front of Y/n’s now empty house. Her parents moved in the last remaining items from the house into the moving truck parked in the driveway. Bakugou uncharacteristically watching silently from the side, blinking as the two embrace eachother.
“Will we see you again?” Midoriya hiccups, arms not leaving her side.
After a long pause she softly replies, unsure of the future. “I don’t know.”
“Y/n! It’s time to go!” Y/n’s mother calls out, opening the passenger door to the truck and motioning for her to enter.
As a final goodbye, Y/n plants a soft kiss on Midoriya’s cheek, rushing to meet Bakugou to repeat the action.
With tears in her eyes she walks to her mom, looking over her shoulder to see her two best friends watch her leave their lives.
Present
“Y/n, you look so different! I almost didn’t recognize you!” Midoriya blabbers eyeing her up and down in disbelief.
“Did I? You and Kacchan look the same to me!” She giggles, glancing back to the blond only to be suprised when she found him already looking at her.
Ringggggg .
The bell rings indicating the start of the first day, Y/n taking a seat beside Midoriya as their new Pro Hero teacher slumps into the front of class, tired and exhausted.
He introduces himself as Shoto Aizawa, their homeroom teacher.
Y/n turns her head as she hears a small gasp escape from Midoriya. She can practically see the fanboy clogs in his head turning at the sight of their new homeroom teacher. Smiling fondly at her friend, she misses the deadly stare from across the room by a certain explosive boy.
“So, this is your seating chart. I didn’t make it so hurry up and find your actual seat.” Mr. Aizawa calls out, holding up a paper with the students names listen in specific order.
Catching her name, Y/n finds the desk assigned to her only to halt in her steps when she spots Bakugou watching her from the desk behind hers.
“Oh! We’re together!” She cheers before sliding down into her seat. She could feel his intense gaze from behind her head, making her awkward in her movements.
That Deku’s finally right about something. Y/n does look different. I knew it was her when she first came to class but even I couldn’t believe it. Ha.
What happened to that messy, big-headed, snot faced idiot girl from before? And why’d she get so pret-
WHAT THE FUCK?! NO. Y/n is anything BUT pretty! Don’t you remember the time she threw up all over you on a school feild trip?! Like hell that thing’s pretty!
Get a grip Katsuki. His mind raced, subconsciously glaring at the girl in front as if she could read his mind.
Ringggggg .
It was now lunchtime. Y/n got up from her seat, she had planned to eat with Midoriya and force Bakugou to join them just like old times. She had so many questions she wanted to ask them now that they were back together.
“Y/n!” Mina calls out.
“Hey Mina!”
“You wanna eat lunch with us?” She motions to the group of girls plus the girl that entered with Midoriya.
“Not today. Sorry Mina but I promise I’ll join you guys tomorrow!” Y/n felt bad for rejecting to eat lunch with them but this was her first time seeing her two childhood best friends, there was no way she could miss this reunion.
“Oh that’s alright, see you!” The girl skips away to the goup of girls.
“Kacchan.” Y/n turns to Bakugou who was still sat in his seat.
“What?” He growls.
“Can I eat lunch with you?” She asks. Even though she was asking him, she’d join him anyway even if he said no.
“… Do what you want.” He barks, quickly getting up and brushing his shoulder against hers while moving to leave the class, not waiting for her.
Bakugou makes it to the cafeteria. He glances behind him only to see no one, expecting her to follow him. Whatever . He rolls his eyes, lining up for the food.
He drops his plate down on an empty table and eats comfortably alone. The foods okay . He thinks, slurping his soup. Bakugou knew he could totally outcook whatever ‘chefs’ cooked the food up, but for now he’d settle.
“There you are!” Y/n skips over to his empty table.
Bakugou looks up from his soup and sees Y/n grinning sheepishly at him with Midoriya standing nervously beside her.
“I brought him over so we could hang out like old times!” She cocks her head towards Midoriya before taking a seat across from the blond and scooting to make room for Midoriya.
Suddenly feeling irritated, Bakugo angrily shouts. “WHO SAID I WANTED TO HANG OUT WITH YOU NERDS?”
Accustomed to his outbursts, the two are unfazed.
“Mmmm… This is good.” Y/n gulps down her soup, downing it with an ‘ah’.
“It is!” Midoriya pipes, nodding his head in agreement after tasting the soup himself.
“Here Izuchan, eat more. You used to be so small, what if you go back?” She places a peice of meat from her plate to his with her chopsticks, encouraging the boy to eat plenty.
She watches as he bites down on more food, nodding in approval before returning to her own plate.
“ARE YOU IGNORING ME?” Bakugou slams the table with his fist.
“Do you want some too? Here, say ‘ahh’” Y/n picks up her chopsticks holding a peice of beef up to his lips.
As Y/n stares at his mouth waiting for him to open it so she can shove the peice of beef to shut him up, she misses the slight flush on the blonds cheeks.
Reluctantly, Bakugou quickly bites down on the beef. Grumbling profanities to himself as he focuses on finishing his food as fast as he can.
What the hell was that? He rages in his head.
Y/n and Midoriya take their time eating, opting to chat instead of eat. The two talked like she never left, updating eachother with their current life and hobbies and any incidents of interest. Reminiscing of the past and making plans for the future. It wasn’t long before Bakugou finished his food.
The two wave him goodbye as he goes to do god knows what, earning a “Shut up losers!” along the way.
In the washroom, Bakugou splashed his face with cold water. Today had him messed up. His thoughts were all over the place, clouded by Y/n and only Y/n. He found himself unable to listen to Mr. Aizawa, unable to take notes, unable to eat, unable to blink.
The cold of the water did nothing to help his racing mind as he stared at himself through the mirror.
