Bakugo x Jealous female reader
Synopsis: When you realize you're in love with your childhood best friend, but force you're feeling's down for the sake of your friendship.
Author's note: This is a short one, but I think it's so cutie, more Bakugo interaction, BTW.
Summer break has faded away, replaced by the crisp air of fall. Leaves have begun to turn, the days growing shorter. The drama with Kimiko has died down, or at least, people stopped talking about it, but her relentless flirting with Bakugo hasn’t.
Lately, though, he seems more annoyed than anything. Maybe she’s finally starting to get on his nerves.
You’re curled up in your dorm, textbooks open but barely registering as you absentmindedly tap your pencil against the page.
A sudden knock breaks your focus. Furrowing your brows, you get up and open the door to find Bakugo standing there, hands shoved into his hoodie pockets.
"Bakugo?" You blink, surprised. "Hey…"
"Hey. Come on, let’s go."
You stare at him. "Go where?"
He exhales sharply, like this is harder than it should be. "Just... hang out. You and me."
Your heart stutters at you and me, but you school your expression before he can notice. He’s not the type to just ask people to hang out. Not unless he has a reason.
Still, you nod. "Alright."
The two of you leave campus together, the cool autumn breeze rustling through the trees. The scent of fallen leaves and distant bonfires lingers in the air. After walking in silence for a bit, you finally ask...
"So… where are we going?"
"I saw this café ad a while back. Figured you’d like it." He mutters it like it’s not a big deal, but the fact that he even thought about it means something.
A small smile tugs at your lips. "Oh. Alright then. Lead the way."
He grunts in acknowledgment and keeps walking.
The café is small but inviting, its exterior adorned with warm string lights and an old wooden sign. He holds the door open for you without a word. The scent of fresh pastries and coffee wraps around you like a blanket as you step inside.
You both order hot cocoa, Bakugo grumbling about how "coffee’s just burnt bean water" when the cashier hands it to him, and head back outside, walking toward a nearby park.
The world around you is quiet, save for the crunch of leaves beneath your feet. The pond reflects the golden hues of autumn, rippling slightly in the breeze.
Despite being the one to invite you out, Bakugo hasn’t said much. Not that you’ve been any better.
You tighten your grip around your cup, the warmth grounding you. "What’s going on with us, Katsuki?" The words slip out before you can stop them. They taste like salt on your tongue.
Bakugo glances at you from the corner of his eye. "The hell are you talking about?"
"You know what I mean." You exhale.
"We don’t talk like we used to. We barely spend time together. It’s like, we’re drifting apart."
Bakugo scoffs, but there’s no real bite behind it. He doesn’t say anything right away, just stares out at the water.
The silence is unbearable.
"You’re my best friend, Katsuki," you say quietly. "But lately, it doesn’t feel like it."
For a long moment, he doesn’t respond.
Then...
"For one, you keep calling me ‘Bakugo,’" he mutters.
"What?"
He exhales, shaking his head. "You’re not a damn stranger. Call me by my first name."
The request, no, demand, hits you harder than you expect.
"Second," he continues, voice lower now, "yeah… we’ve drifted. I’ll admit it."
His jaw tightens, and for once, he looks almost uncomfortable. "But I don’t wanna stop being friends. Alright?"
You feel a weight lift off your chest. "I don’t want that either, Katsuki."
"Good." He takes another sip of his cocoa, eyes fixed on the pond. "Promise me something?"
"What?"
He suddenly reaches over, grabbing your pinkie with his own and locking them together. His hand is warm, rough from years of training.
"Promise we’ll spend more time together."
A small laugh escapes you. "A pinkie promise?"
"Tch." He scowls but doesn’t let go. "Just shut up and do it." You squeeze his pinkie with yours.
"Promise."

Since the night of the hero gala, you and James had thrown yourselves headfirst into the Moretti investigation. The memory of that evening—the balcony, Bakugo’s wounded expression, and his retreating figure—played on an endless loop in your mind, but you shoved it down, burying it beneath layers of work and sleepless nights.
You’d left the gala alone, and since then, Bakugo had been a ghost. He didn’t show up at the gym during your usual hours, and you hadn’t dared to reach out. You figured he needed space, and honestly, you didn’t blame him. If he hated you, you deserved it. After all, you had rejected him in the cruelest way, withholding the truth under the guise of protecting him.
Now, every waking moment was devoted to unearthing the evidence you needed to take Moretti down. You told yourself it was for justice, for closure, but deep down, you knew it was also for Bakugo. You needed to make things right. To come clean, to apologize for the lies, and maybe, just maybe, to give him a reason to forgive you.
One long, grueling night, James managed to secure access to confidential Japanese case files—likely crossing a few legal boundaries in the process, but you didn’t care. Laws and rules seemed inconsequential when the only thing that mattered was unraveling the threads of Moretti’s web.
The files contained a chilling revelation. The man with the tattoo on his wrist—the one burned into your memory—was linked to a series of brutal murders in Musutafu. Innocent women, each life stolen with a message carved into the crime scenes that only you could understand. The weight of it crushed you, the realization that these killings weren’t random. They were warnings. Moretti was taunting you, forcing you to see his reach, his cruelty, and his power.
The guilt was suffocating. Every face in those files felt like another strike against your resolve, but you couldn’t let it break you. You wouldn’t. The pain was a reminder that you were on the right path, that you had a chance to end this. And now, finally, you had something to go on.
The new information gave you a flicker of hope —a trail of locations and timestamps where Moretti’s men had been sighted. It was the first solid lead you’d had in weeks, and it was enough to rekindle the fire inside you.
Your hero costume still fits like a second skin, the all-black material hugging your body with an almost suffocating precision. The suit’s sleek fabric molds to your frame, firm and supportive—like it’s designed just for you, like it was made to measure. You had always admired the way the costume looked, and now, years later, your vision seemed to reflect everything you had become: strong, sleek, and dangerous. The mask that covered your face didn’t leave much for anyone to see, except your eyes—piercing, determined eyes that told anyone in your path exactly who they were dealing with.
It’s been six long years since you last wore it. Six years of training, of staying hidden, of learning to control a power so dangerous you feared it more than anything. But tonight, slipping into the familiar black fabric and feeling it stretch over your body, you couldn’t help but feel that rush of energy surge through your veins. It never got old. The suit felt like home, like a part of you, and the weight of the mask reminded you of everything you had fought to become—and everything you had left behind.
As you pull on the gloves, the cool metal of your utility belt clicks against the fabric. You can’t help but admire the intricate stitching that runs along your waist, the design perfect down to the finest detail. The fabric is laced with minerals, rare and strong, designed to help control your quirk. The quirk that you never fully trusted.
Your quirk, gravity manipulation, gives you the power to shift and bend forces of weight, to manipulate objects, people, and even entire structures. It’s the kind of power that could move mountains or level them, depending on your emotions. When you’re calm, you have control—but when you’re upset, when anger and fear take hold, your quirk becomes a ticking time bomb, ready to explode. That’s what happened the night you blacked out and woke up with a bleeding head, unable to recall anything.
Training has made you cautious, teaching you to keep your emotions in check. Years of discipline and self-control have allowed you to control it, but you always feared that if you lost that control, everything would come crashing down. But tonight, you hoped it wouldn’t come to that. Tonight, you needed to keep your head.
After weeks of silence, you’d received a tip—a whisper on an old, secured landline that one of Moretti’s men would be at a bar tonight. The man was important, connected, and you needed to know where Moretti was. So you and James decided to follow the lead. He had urged you to involve the pros again, but you quickly shut that down.
The car in the alleyway feels like a cage, your hands gripping the leather seats as you watch the shadows stretch across the pavement. The waiting game never gets easier. It gnaws at you, especially tonight, knowing that the man you’re hunting could be anywhere. Anxiety coils tight in your chest, the thought of confronting a ghost from your past, churning your stomach.
“How long have we been sitting here?” James asks from the passenger seat, his voice low but edged with a hint of impatience. His eyes flicker toward the bar’s entrance.
“Two hours,” you answer, your voice steady but the tension in your muscles betraying you. You’re not letting your nerves show, but inside, you feel like a coil ready to snap. “He won’t leave yet. We haven’t missed him.”
James glances at you, clearly unconvinced. “Are you sure you’re okay with this? I can go with you.”
“No,” you say sharply, the word final. “I’ve got this.”
You stare at the bar’s entrance, your eyes narrowing. Isaac. The name rolls off your tongue like poison. Isaac, blonde-haired, with the face of a man who has seen too much. He was Moretti’s right hand for years, and you knew him all too well. His cold, calculating eyes never missed a thing, and his loyalty to Moretti was only rivaled by his ruthlessness.
Your instincts tingle. He’s here. You can feel it. A subtle weight in the air, the tension building in your bones. It’s like a sixth sense, honed from years of practice. You don’t know how you know, but you trust it.
Then, like clockwork, he steps out from the bar, his sharp profile cutting through the neon lights. He stands on the sidewalk for a moment, glancing around before shouting for a taxi.
Your heart pounds. This is it.
Without a word, you unlock the car door and slide out, ignoring James’s muttered warning. “YN, stop! Stay in the car!” His voice is laced with concern, but you don’t hear him. You’re already striding toward Isaac, your body moving with purpose.
Isaac doesn’t notice you at first, too busy fidgeting with his phone, but as soon as he slides into the cab, you’re there. You don’t hesitate. You pull open the door, stepping into the cab with a practiced fluidity that only someone like you can manage.
“Hey, this is my cab!” Isaac barks, but you don’t flinch.
You glance at the driver, your expression cold and unwavering. “We’re sharing,” you say smoothly, tossing a few bills into the front seat. “Take me up the block. Doesn’t matter where.”
The driver, clearly unbothered by the tense atmosphere, nods and shifts the car into drive. Isaac remains blissfully unaware, but that doesn’t last for long. You slide a knife from your belt, its cold steel glinting under the low lights.
“Say one word, and I’ll put this knife through your crotch,” you murmur, your voice laced with venom as you hold a knife to him.
Isaac freezes, his gaze finally snapping to you. His eyes widen and the realization slowly dawns on him. Recognition flickers in his pupils, and you see the hate burn brighter.
“I always knew you were a crazy bitch.” Isaac hisses, his voice trembling with anger and fear.
“Yeah?” you reply, “well I’m about to get crazier.”
He opens his mouth to retort, but you’re faster. With a swift movement, you grab his chin and force him to look at you. You see the fire in his eyes, the stubborn defiance, but it won’t save him.
“Tell me where Moretti is,” you demand, your tone chilling. “Or I swear, I’ll cut you open right here.”
Isaac snarls. “Fuck you.”
“Okay” Taking the knife you pull it away and plunge it into his thigh, being careful to cover his mouth.
“Tell me, Isaac,” you growl, “Or is that man-crush of yours so strong you’re willing to lose your dick over it?”
Isaac’s jaw clenches, his eyes flickering with defiance. “You want to know where Moretti is? Find him yourself. I don’t work for him anymore.”
“Bullshit.” You twist the blade deeper into his leg.
“Now fucking tell me, or I’ll send Moretti a gift next,” you hiss, your voice dripping with venom.
Isaac’s muffled whimpers are all you hear as you give him one last warning.
“Fine!” he gasps, “He’s staying at the Musutafu motel, on the outskirts of the city.”
“If you’re lying to me,” you warn, “I will kill you.”
He’s sweating now, breathing hard, his face pale as a ghost.
The cab pulls to a stop, and you yank the knife out of his leg, leaving a pool of blood behind. The driver, still unaware of the tension in the backseat, waits for your next command.
You exit without another word, tossing a few more bills toward the driver before slamming the door behind you. As the car pulls away, you spot a black SUV pulling up beside you. You don’t need to look twice to know who’s behind the wheel.
“Well?” Tucker asks, his voice steady but with an edge of impatience.
“He’s at the Musutafu motel,” you reply, your voice curt and emotionless. You slide into the car, the bloody knife still clutched in your hand.
Tucker notices the weapon, his eyes narrowing slightly, but he doesn’t say anything.
“Don’t ask,” you mutter, slumping back into the seat. “Just drive.”
---
The crime rates had doubled in the past two weeks, ever since word of a serial killer leaked to the public. The Hero Committee had tried their best to keep the case under wraps, but someone in the department had let the information slip.
With the city spiraling into panic, the pro-heroes were stretched thin. So focused on this case, they’d nearly lost sight of everything else unraveling around them.
“Shoto, any updates on James Tucker?” Deku asked, standing at the head of the conference table. His fingers pressed against the bridge of his nose, the telltale sign of an impending headache.
“Not yet,” Todoroki replied, flipping through a folder of old files. “The only intel I’ve managed to pull are outdated case records and images. If Tucker’s gone into hiding, it’s clear he doesn’t want to be found.”
“Why the hell would he be in hiding?” Bakugo snapped, slamming his hands against the table as he rose from his seat. Weeks of fruitless effort were taking their toll, and the tension in the room was palpable.
Bakugo had been more frustrated than usual lately, and everyone unlucky enough to cross his path could feel the searing heat of his anger. His temper, usually sharp and explosive, seemed to have an added edge now, as though something was festering beneath the surface. The smallest inconveniences sent him into a spiral of irritation—training dummies obliterated into smoldering debris, doors slammed with enough force to rattle the entire building, and curt, venom-laced words that made even his closest friends keep their distance.
At the agency, he barked orders more than usual, his voice cutting through the air like a whip. Kirishima, ever the peacemaker, tried to crack a joke to lighten the mood, but Bakugo’s glare silenced him before the words could fully leave his mouth. Mina would whisper to Sero, “What crawled up his ass and died?” only to quickly clam up when Bakugo’s piercing crimson eyes flicked their way.
It wasn’t just work either—his frustrations followed him home. The gym became a battleground, weights clanging loudly as he threw himself into his workouts with a reckless intensity. The punching bag in the corner stood no chance, shredded after one particularly heated session. Yet no matter how much he pushed his body to its limits, the tension inside him never seemed to dissipate.
The truth was, Bakugo wasn’t just angry. He was hurt. And the wound festered deeper than he was willing to admit.
He hadn’t seen you since that night at the gala. Since you’d looked at him with those beautiful, unreadable eyes and told him—what, exactly? That he didn’t matter? That you didn’t feel the same way? It didn’t make sense. The way you looked at him didn’t match the words you said. The way your voice trembled, the way you avoided his gaze—it was like you were running from something. But what?
The questions plagued him, chasing him into his restless nights. He hated not having answers, hated how powerless he felt, hated how much space you were taking up in his head. Damn you. Damn your stupid, gorgeous face and your laugh and the way you felt so perfect next to him that night.
But more than anything, he hated the gnawing feeling in his chest. The one that whispered he might have lost you for good.
“Actually, Kacchan,” Deku interjected, sliding a photograph across the table toward him. “I might have something.”
Bakugo picked up the image, his crimson eyes narrowing as he examined it. The picture showed a young girl, no older than eight, with wide, curious eyes and a small, cautious smile.
“That’s Anthony Moretti’s daughter,” Deku explained. “We found her in an adoption database. She’s here in Japan.”
Bakugo’s eyes lingered on the photograph, his brow furrowing. There was something about the girl that tugged at his memory.
“I’ve seen her before,” he said, his voice quieter than usual.
“What? Where?” Deku asked, leaning forward.
“At the gym,” Bakugo replied, placing the photo back on the table. “Y/N is her boxing coach.”
The revelation sent a ripple of unease through the room.
“Who put her up for adoption?” Todoroki asked, breaking the silence.
“It’s anonymous. Adoption records don’t disclose that information,” Deku replied.
“How old was she when she was adopted?”
“She couldn’t have been older than two,” Deku said, flipping through his notes.
“Six years ago,” Bakugo muttered, piecing things together. “Right after Moretti was arrested.” He looked up, his gaze sharp. “What about her mom?”
“There’s no record of a mother,” Deku answered, his tone heavy.
“Dammit,” Bakugo growled, his frustration mounting. “We need to find Tucker. He’s the key to this.”
Todoroki chimed in, hesitant. “Maybe... maybe Y/N knows something about the girl. She might be able to help.”
“No,” Bakugo barked, his tone leaving no room for argument. “I’m not dragging her into this, and I sure as hell ain’t questioning a kid.”
The room fell silent, the weight of the situation pressing down on them. Time was running out, and with every passing moment, the lines between their responsibilities and their morals blurred further.
“I’ll find Tucker myself if I have to. Got a photo, Icy Hot?” Bakugo demanded, his tone sharp with determination.
Todoroki flipped through his folder without hesitation, pulling out a slightly worn photograph of James Tucker and handing it to him.
Bakugo’s grip tightened around the photo as he stared at it, his blood running cold. His entire stance stiffened, and for a moment, the room seemed to hold its breath.
He knew this man.
The realization hit him like a freight train, his mind reeling. He’d seen Tucker before—seen him with you.
Everything started falling into place, the fragmented pieces of the puzzle forming a picture that Bakugo could no longer ignore. The explosion. Moretti’s daughter. Tucker. You.
The timeline fit too perfectly to be a coincidence.
Bakugo’s jaw clenched, his crimson eyes narrowing as his thoughts raced. You were connected to Moretti—there was no doubt about that now. But how?

Ok so this trope might be my new fav obsession
hiii I haven't posted in months, so I tried to get this done super fast and never proofread anything, so I apologize for everything lol.
k. bakugou x kirishima's sister reader
words: 800+
warning: injuries, mention of blood
---
When your brother, Kirishima, finally connects the dots and realizes that you have a crush on his best friend, he is deeply conflicted.
He wasn’t exactly surprised that you’d liked Bakugou– he knew that you’d always ask him about Bakugou, whether he was going to be at certain 1A events, if he was invited to your family dinners, and sometimes you’d just ask him what Bakugou had been up to, but he only saw your questions as you trying to make some comfortable small talk. He probably would’ve never figured out about your crush had he not overheard you talking to one of your friends over the phone.
“Yeah, I mean he’s really cute, I just can’t–”
A mumbled voice interrupts you.
“I would, but I just can’t go on a date with my brother's best friend. I know that Eiji would say that it’s fine, but if he isn’t okay with that, he’s just going to pretend that it doesn’t bother him, and I’m not going force him to pretend that he’s okay with it, you know? Bakugou was his best friend first, and I’m going to respect that.”
—
Months passed, and you still hadn’t found out that Kirishima had listened in on your phone call.
He was sitting on a bar stool in your bathroom while you attentively brushed red hair dye onto his bleached roots. There was a natural silence as you focused on covering his scalp in the thick concoction.
“So… you like Bakugou?”
You were taken by surprise by this sudden question. You knew that you liked Bakugou. You’d liked him for years at this point, but you just couldn’t justify jeopardizing what you’d already had for something that could result in disaster.
You sigh.
“I don’t know, Eiji. It’s complicated.”
He doesn’t pry further, sensing the disappointment and confusion laced between your words.
“Okay.”
—-
Bakugou had paid your household a visit for the weekend, offering to make mapo tofu for another one of your weekly family dinners. As you and your brother got older, friends became regulars at your dinners, and it wasn’t surprising to have Bakugou, Denki, or Sero sitting at the dinner table every weekend.
However, your mom was out of town on a business trip this week, leaving you and Kirishima to run the household alone. The house was fairly clean, with just a few dishes left in the sink from breakfast and lunch and a pile of freshly washed laundry lying at the foot of your couch, waiting to be folded, but the two of you knew that Bakugou would stay to help you clean up around your house after dinner.
You sat at the kitchen island, watching Bakugou hunched over the stove while Kirishima cut the tofu into cubes. The three of you mindlessly talked about recent drama and little things that had happened in your lives recently.
“Well, it turns out that she was actually walking to this guy from the next town over who’s been dating this girl for FOUR years. Crazy.”
Kirishima listened to your stories with a few “yeah”s and “Oh I remember her, she’s the one that used to live down the street, right?”, while Bakugou grumbled and summarized everything you said.
“So you mean to tell me she was talking to her friend's boyfriend of four years and didn’t know? Sounds like a lot of bullshit to me.”
Once dinner was over, Bakugou grumbled something about having to clean up your “nasty ass house” and made his way over to the kitchen sink alongside you, grabbing the dish towels stored in the drawer beside the sink and drying off the dishes as you washed them.
He focused on the bowl you had just handed him, drying it with ease until…
“Fuck!”
He saw you run out of the kitchen, and down to the bathroom, droplets of blood trailing you as you fumbled with the bathroom door handle.
“Y/n? What the fuck happened?”
He quickly caught up behind you, cracked the door open, lightly pressed the small of your back to lead you into the bathroom, and lifted you onto the marble countertop to examine your bloodied hand.
“Damn. Ya really got yourself good, huh?”
Not expecting a response from you, he found the first-aid kit and shuffled through the contents, finding gauze to wrap around your hand.
He applied the gauze and put pressure on your hand, a stinging sensation making itself known as he tentatively held it.
When you hiss in pain, Bakugou’s eyes dart up to see your tear-stained cheeks and glassy eyes.
At this moment, something about you has changed. You’re something far greater than just Kirishima’s annoying little sister.
Luckily, your older brother has made it to the door just in time to see how differently he looks at you, and he realizes that it wasn’t just you who was catching feelings.
