SATURDAY.
// 8:30 PM

━━BAKUGOU'S PHONE NOTIFIED a message.

The blondie clicked his tongue, ignoring the notification.

Until his phone bursted out what seemed like an endless chain of notifications.

So he gruffed and picked it up.

Turning it on, his already puffy eyes squinted by the brightness.

Not when he saw your contact name.

Almost immediately did he open the notification to see a lot of voice-mails from you.

. . .

Teddybear sent a voice-mail (5)

. . .

Bakugou wore an emotionless look but he was beyond curious and half-worried since you sent tons of voicemails that were long.

He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair.

Although the boy wanted to ignore you, who was he kidding?

He could never bring himself to ignore your voicemails. Especially when this is his first time getting one from you.

Plugging in his earphones, he put them on. "What is this idiot sending me-"

Until he heard your voice from the voicemail.

"Whoa, I'm actually doing this. Oh wait shoot, focus!"

He heard you let out a small excited giggle making him unintentionally smile.

(A/N: Just imagine its late at night hehe)

"Umm uh- Don't go yet Katsuki! Ah, wait... What was I supposed to say-" You laughed and facepalmed making him let out an accidental chuckle.

"Wait wait let me redo it hehe." You sheepishly spoke before the voicemail ended.

That was when he noticed a message below the first voicemail.

. . .

Teddybear
I didn't remove it because
you'll probably enjoy
making fun of me so there!
୧ʕ•̀ᴥ•́ʔ୨

. . .

"What an idiot." Bakugou chuckled, thinking how adorable you were.

He even almost forgot the worries he had. Just... almost.

Pressing the second voicemail, he listened closely.

He heard you clearing your throat. "I fell in love with a boy."

This caught Bakugou's attention.

"He wasn't all that lovely. Rather, he was mean and selfish."

The blondie rolled his eyes, scoffing.

"But I find that beautiful about him. He yells and talks the way he wants, not caring what anyone thought of him." You paused.

"And for someone like me, who often cares what others think- I found him... fascinating."

Bakugou's face softened, heart drumming in his chest.

As the second voicemail ended, he quickly pressed the third one.

"I wanted to be friends because I wanted to know what it takes to be confident in showing my true feelings.

Though as time goes by, I suddenly found myself wanting to see him more. To be with him more and to to talk with him more.

In other words, I found myself growing in love of him."

The voicemail ended and Bakugou had to pause for a while, trying to calm the beating of his heart.

How gentle your voice sounds made him also remember the soft touch your hands would give off.

Hearing your voice right now, it felt like you were hugging him.

Then he pressed the fourth voicemail.

"So when I saw the odd and new look in his eyes- I knew he was in pain.

I didn't care if I knew all about him.

All I want is for him to happy. It doesn't matter if he tells me why he's in pain or not.

I wanted to hold his hand and say that everything is alright- that I'm here."

Fifth voicemail.

"I love you Katsuki. And I'll spend the rest of my life reminding you.

It's alright if I don't hear it back, I just want you to know that you're loved.

Cause honestly Katsu, you are not just in my heart. You are my heart."

. . .

You pressed your knees unto your chest while staring at your phone.

Specifically, you were staring at both you and Bakugou's messages.

He left you in 'seen' and you were wondering if he heard it or not.

"Maybe I was too cringey..." You mumbled, pouting.

After a few moments, a knock was heard by the door.

Your ears perked and you slightly jolted.

Who would be knocking in front of your room door late at night?

Well, could be you but it was your room.

Cautiously did you open the door- and when you did, you heard someone's voice.

"What the hell- Where do I fucking start-"

You widen your eyes and immediately opened the door to see Bakugou in his glory with his phone in his hand, his height hovering you.

And before you could say anything, the palm of his other hand quickly covered your lips.

You looked up and saw him resuming his record.

"Ah shit. Just so you know I'm doing this cheesy shit because I'm not gonna lose over some loser like you." His gruff voice resonated from the phone while he continued to seal his lips.

You blushed from your boyfriend's ember eyes darting right through you soul.
"I... I also fell in love with a girl. Who was much more than pretty. She was funny, she was brave, and was fucking gorgeous.

Basically she was the cutest weirdo in the world and she's mine."

Until Bakugou stepped a bit closer to you and slightly leaned in, sending palpitations to your heart as he continued to bluntly stare at you.

"I never believed in love. I thought it was all bullshit and cringey crap.

And the fact that I promised myself as an arrogant kid that... I would never fall in love-

But fuck-"

The soft shade of pink grew in Bakugou's cheeks but it didn't stop him from leaning forward to you.

"-We were under the stars and you were in my arms.

My heart felt like it was going to explode cause it couldn't take all the happiness I felt being with you.

I fucking love being with you. I feel so so happy." His deep voice softened.

It was true.

Back before when Bakugou was hit by the realization that you were really his, he had to stop himself from jumping up and down like a kid.

It was embarrassing so he wouldn't dare tell that to you.

"Y/N I... I'm such an asshole.

I-I was scared. To see you fall for someone I knew who was fucking better than me."

Katsuki's forehead met with yours and his face slowly closed the gap in between his lips and yours, making your noses touch.

"I just really want to make you happy. Yet it sucked I didn't know how.

I'm new to love. So if you want to... please teach me how to make you happy."

Until your boyfriend's lips pressed yours.

And then, you both melted.

"I wonder where I would've ended if you hadn't walked into my life-"

Bakugou was touchstarved.

So he shoved his phone into his pocket, not caring that the recording was still going on.

When he did, quickly did his hands found themselves caressing your cheek and hips.

You arched back when you felt his rough calloused hands rub your waist making your hands go up to his chest and shoulder.

That was when you felt his tongue push its way to the entrance of your mouth making you squirm.

Bakugou smirked to himself, clearing missing the adorable manner you hold.

Fire and sparks lived within his kiss, he had a way of melting every part of you.

But that was until you both needed breath.

You pulled away making him growl a bit but you knew he was at his limit too.

Panting, your hand made its way to your chest to feel your heart beating quickly.

You didn't even hear the rest of the words the recording said.

Excluding the last line.

"So to the girl who made me see wonderful things I could never see alone, I'm sorry Y/N, I love you."

You widen your eyes in surprise at the finale.

Bakugou blushed and simply hugged you, nestling his face in your neck making it tickle you a bit.

"I wanna cry." You sniffed.

"Baby."

"Now is not the time for pet names."

"Hah? That wasn't a pet name, that was an insult. Boo hoo." He teases making you gasp.

"Whatever! I'm letting this slide because I never knew you were such a romantic." You teased back.

"That was fucking cringe. And I only did that because you just sounded cute when you recorded yourself." His gruffy voice mumbled.

You shyly laughed. "No I'm not... And how am I a weirdo."

"You just fucking are. No questions, no buts- just cause I said so myself." He scoffs.

Oh how you both missed this.

"I may have been a weirdo, but I'm not really that stupid you know..." You murmured.

Bakugou hummed in a questioning manner.

"See, I knew you disliked Akihiko-senpai. I even knew he was my online friend yet I pretended I didn't." You shrugged your shoulders.

The blondie furrowed his eyebrows as he pulls from the tight hug a bit just enough to see your face.

"Hah..?"

You giggled at his confused look. "That time... when I asked him to meet up with me. I wanted to confront something that was bothering you for a while. And I had to do it quickly because I didn't want to see you hurting."

He continues to listen.

"I asked Ryo-senpai for help and he willingly did so. He told me Akihiko liked me so he did me a favor and pushed Akihiko into confessing. I wanted to hear his confession as soon as possible since I wanted to end the intense aura in between you two quickly."

"Th-then what about that fistbump..?!"

"Katsuki... it isn't even a hug. The poor guy who got rejected just asked for a simple thing."

Bakugou deadpanned. "So... you rejected him and I misunderstood what happened that day."

You laughed and threw finger guns at him. "Bingo!"

"What the fuck-"

"It's alright! Even though being without you sucked, I guess it's okay now since I got to hear you actually confessing your love for me in such a way." You clasped both of your hands, dreamily.

"Ew. I'll delete the recording anyway."

You gasped, angry. "No you can't!"

"One condition. Can I sleep in your room tonight?"

You blushed but your lips curved upwards. "And tomorrow too."

Bakugou chuckled and kissed your eyelid. "I'm glad I have you Teddybear."

"And you'll always will..." You lovingly replied, kissing his lips again.

In a world that seeks connection, we oddly avoid eye contact, we time our text responses in order to protect ourselves from seeming too eager or too interested, and we hold our feelings back because we don't want to seem overly emotional or unreasonable.

We silence our instincts and at the end of the day instead of feeling good about ourselves, we feel alone, we feel misunderstood.

Remember- it is okay to be emotional, to seek help, to confidently tell someone you enjoy being around that you are infatuated with them.

There is nothing wrong with vulnerability, with being human, for that is what creates depth within our relationships, and that is what ultimately unifies us.

So when you love, let it be sweet.

Do not ask yourself what you need and want from someone.

Ask yourself if you are happy with him.

Because one of the sweetest ways to love, is to let each other grow.
