TUESDAY.
// 8:00 AM

━━CLASS 1-A'S FINAL EXAMINATION TO FINISH THE SEMESTER has gotten a week closer.

You topped 7th in the overall academic ranking so you were a bit confident that you'd do well in written exams.

Yet you still had a few ups and downs with a subject or two so you wanted to ask Bakugou for help.

"Hey Bakugou! I overheard that you'd teach Kirishima-kun for the final exams, so I was wondering if I can-"

"TCH. YOU DIDN'T NEED TO FUCKING ASK YOU KNOW?! I'LL MAKE THAT PEA-SIZE BRAIN OF YOURS FUCKING USEFUL." He wacked your head making you rub the spot.

"Aw~ You anticipated it!" You blushed.

He clicked his tongue. "Whatever, fuck off."

"See? It's never too late to show kindness Bakugou." You smiled.

"I can't fucking believe I'm influenced cause of your shitass personality." His eyebrows furrowed.

You laughed before turning to Kirishima. "Let's do our best~!"

The red head nodded and yelled in agreement, clenching his fist in motivation.

. . .

Dismissal came by and when everyone was about to leave the school, Bakugou decided to make a scene.

Basically he was intimidating poor Midoriya and that he'd show that the both of them really have a huge gap in power and strength.

Of course, this worried you so as soon as Bakugou left the classroom, you immediately catched up to him.

Outside, you gently held Bakugou's wrist stealing his attention. "Bakugou..!"

He turned around and spat, "What."

"Are... are you alright?" You pursed your lips.

The blondie's ruby eyes widened in surprise.

He didn't expect you to say that, in fact, he was expecting you to explain how it wasn't nice of him to treat Midoriya like that.

When Bakugou kept quiet, you decided to share more of your thoughts.

"I... I'm concerned. And don't worry! I'm not looking down on you or anything- it's just that, it's been a while since I saw you so serious of something. I understand that you're putting up a rivalry with Midoriya and Todoroki, which is perfectly normal! But, what I'm worried is- if you're having doubts yourself.."

Bakugou clicked his tongue, pissed.

Although deep down he was honestly glad that you paid deeper attention in his words.

So he decided to come forward with the softest reply he could muster.

"I.... I'm not doubting myself idiot." He stared at you expressionless.

Yet that response didn't satsify you one bit.

You were sure that he wanted to look strong because he didn't want anyone to pity him since he'd feel worser.

Your hand travelled from his wrist down to his hand, tenderly holding it making Bakugou blush.

But what you didn't expect is that he also squeezed your hand back.

His ruby eyes were locked onto both of your hands while yours continued to gaze at his.

"Don't lie to me Bakugou. I'm your friend and friends don't lie... But, if you do doubt yourself, just remember that I'll accept you whoever you are-- Because I look up to you, hero." Your thumb gently stroke small circles on his.

Bakugou's eyes softened before staring back at you, smirking.

"I'll become better, just you watch L/N."

Hearing him call you your last name made your cheeks bloom pink.

You smiled softly at him. "I will, hero."

And by the background, both of your homeroom teacher: Aizawa, paid close attention.

He overheard the yells of Bakugou earlier at his classroom but when he was about to join in, the explosive blondie already left the room.

That was before you came along and decided to talk with him for a while unknowingly replacing Aizawa's word of advice to the boy.

But the pro couldn't argue less.

He knew you were far more better in talking with the hot-headed boy than he ever would.

'You're getting far worser, Bakugou... but as long as L/N is with you, I hope things turn for a better.' Aizawa thoughts to himself before leaving.

. . .

You and Kirishima were having a hard time coping up with Bakugou's way of teaching for the past week.

But it was all worth it when the 3rd and final day for the written exam ended.

"Bakugou! Bakugou! Bakugouuuu!!!---"

Your cheeks were then squished by both of Bakugou's hands, making you muffle out your sentences.

'Dollface's cheeks are soft...heh, she looks dumb (cute).' He thoughts to himself before glaring back at you.

"Oi! You fucking better shut that damn mouth of yours.." He growls.

You nodded frantically as he lets go before you thanked him for everything he helped.

Then after that, the day of the practical exam came by.

You were partnered with Tsuyu Asui and Tokoyami Fumikage against Pro Hero Ectoplasm, to which you three successfully pulled out well, leading to victory.

Anyhow, you were incredibly worried about Bakugou and Midoriya since they were paired together, so you decided to stay with the blondie for a little while wanting to uplift his mood.

Their fight with All Might was tough and the injuries they got looked painful.

But they passed so you felt relieved.

Either way, you were still worried as heck for Bakugou so you sprinted your way to the infirmary.

There, you saw Recovery Girl scolding All Might.

The sound of the door caught both of the two adults attnention making them turn around.

"Young L/N..?"

"A-ah! Excuse me for the intrusion All Might-san, Recovery Girl." You bowed after closing the door.

"That's alright, why are you here?" The No. 1 hero asks.

"She's here to visit Bakugou." Recovery girl answered for you with an obvious tone.

"Oh?" All Might looked surprised.

You blushed red. "I-Is it that obvious?" You fiddled your fingers.

"Yes dear, you both visit each other when one of you gets hurt." She chuckled making you blush more.

"Come to think of it, you and Young Bakugou sure are close... Hmm, what could this mean Young L/N~?"

Your face exploded into the color of scarlet before you fumbled out words making both adults laugh.
