"What the hell, you always actin' like you're too good for this! Admit it, you're just scared!"
I’m not scared. You’re just trying to scare me into letting you win. He scowls, not even sounding like he’s angry
"Ha! Win? Is that what you think this is all about? Look, I ain't tryna win anything from you. I'm just tired of your damn antics, alright? You're like a goddamn mosquito buzzing in my ear, can't get rid of you no matter how hard I swat."
then why do you act like you don’t care? It’s easy to tell when you get pissed that I got shoved down your throat.
"Act like I don't care? That's rich, coming from someone who's never let anyone get close enough to see what I'm really like. You think you know me?
Maybe not. But I know one thing.
"And what's that?" pauses, waiting for Fleming's response
You want me. He points a finger at Bakugo, pointing out the obvious before stepping closer
"Want you? You think I want someone like you? Look at yourself, all high and mighty, acting like you're the damn hero or some shit. I wouldn't waste my time if you weren't...if you weren't..." struggles to find the words, face turning red
If I wasn’t what? Hot? Hateful? Or maybe those two things combined?
"Shut up! Don't flatter yourself! You're nothing special!" grits teeth, unable to maintain composure
i can be all three things. Maybe more. You should’ve thought about that before coming here. If anything, you’re lucky I like you.
"Liked you? No way. You're just playing with fire, trying to get a rise outta me. Well, guess what? You got it." lunges forward, pinning Fleming against the wall
Wow Katsuki. Why do you think I came here? To fight or to get my heart broken? I already knew the outcome before walking through that door.
"Heartbroken? You think I'd come here just to break your heart? You're wrong, dumbass! I came here because...because..." pauses, struggling to put his feelings into words
He places a hand on Bakugo’s cheek, rubbing a bit roughly but softly under his thumb Because why?
"Because I can't get you outta my damn head! You drive me insane, alright? I've been trying to ignore it, but it's tearing me apart!"
He could see it in his eyes. Clear as day. As clear as Bakugo’s spiky red hair or his vibrant green eyes. If only he looked close enough.
backs away from the wall, avoiding eye contact "Don't read too much into it. It doesn't mean anything."
You think I haven’t noticed? Your loud mouth gets you into trouble. Your hands clenched around my throat… feeling how much I mean to you?
sighs heavily, shoulders slumping "Damn it! Fine, you wanna know? I fucking love you, okay?! There, I said it! Happy now?"
He smiles softly, leaning forward gently kissing him Good.
melts into the kiss, wrapping his arms tightly around Fleming, deepening the kiss with passion and longing
Bakugo couldn’t believe it. He actually meant it. Did he say it right? Did he mean every word? This must be real. Maybe, just maybe he really does feel the same way.
pulls away from the kiss, looking deeply into Fleming's eyes "I may be explosive, but you...you're the one who ignites the fire in me.
Chuckles softly, reaching out and tucking some hair behind Bakugo’s ear. And I’ll help you burn. So long as you promise to let me see the real you. Not just that angry teenager everyone knows.
takes a deep breath, leaning in closer to Fleming "Alright, listen up. We're gonna make things right.
Oh am I going to like this? I’m listening.
"First off, I'm done keeping secrets. No more hiding how I feel about you, no more denying what we have. From now on, I'm all in.
Alright, you got yourself a deal.
"We're gonna show everyone what we're made of. No more holding back. We'll prove them all wrong, together."
Let’s start by changing that little nickname of yours. What do you say?
"Let's ditch the 'Deku' nonsense and stick with something that actually reflects who I am. How about...'Dynamight'?"
Dynamight? I like it. I’m glad we came to a decision. How long do you think our friends would believe it if we suddenly said we were together?
"They'll believe it when they see it. We'll show them firsthand just how unstoppable we are together. Trust me, they won't be able to deny it then."
Well yeah. It isn’t like we’re gonna be super sneaky about it. Plus it’s not like we will be able to hide this from them anyways.
cracks a smirk "Alright, time to put our plan into action. First things first, we need to tell the rest of the team."
Of course. Who should we tell first?
"How about Todoroki? He's always been neutral, and he might be the easiest to convince."
Sounds like a good idea. Let’s go.
leads the way towards Todoroki, hand in hand with Fleming, ready to face any challenges that may come their way "Come on, let's go make history together."
Following beside Bakugo Heh, looks like you're finally growing up, Dynamight. Let's go make them see the real us.
boldly strides into the room where Todoroki is waiting, with Fleming right by his side "Hey, Todoroki! We've got something important to talk to you about." Todoroki: raises an eyebrow "Oh? What's going on?"
Tell him, Bakugo. He won’t bite. Unless you’d rather he did. He smirks to himself, still holding Bakugo’s hand and placing it near his waist. Almost as if he was asking for trouble.
takes a deep breath, staring directly into Todoroki's eyes "Listen, Todoroki. We're here to tell you that we're a couple now. Yeah, you heard that right. The hottest explosions in class aren't just for my quirk anymore." Todoroki: narrows his eyes, slightly taken aback "Are you serious? You two? I didn't see that coming."
