Brushed Numbers and Lingering Words

Synopsis: You were always admired by others by your sharp analysis in English. Rin itoshi, on the other hand, was known for his swift math solving skills. So what would happen if you both ended up on the same team for a quizbee? Chaos.

Tags: Rin Itoshi x gn!reader, sarcastic Rin, academic rivals trope, lotssss of teasing from Rin, fluff

The announcement came abruptly during homeroom, and with it, a new responsibility you hadn’t expected.

“The school has chosen two representatives for this year’s quiz bee,” the teacher began, her tone as bright as a fresh cup of coffee. “(Y/N), for humanities, and Rin Itoshi, for mathematics and sciences.”

Your head snapped up. You glanced around, wondering if there’d been some mistake.

Rin Itoshi? Seriously?

Rin sat across the room, perfectly composed as though the teacher had just complimented him on his haircut rather than volunteered him for a major academic event. His teal eyes met yours briefly, his expression unreadable, before he returned to scribbling in his notebook.

When the bell rang, your curiosity got the best of you. You hesitantly approached him.

“So… looks like we’re partners.”

Without so much as glancing up, Rin replied, “Partners? That makes it sound like we’re splitting the work evenly.”

Your brows furrowed. “What’s that supposed to mean?”

“It means I’ll handle the important stuff,” he said, finally looking at you with a faint smirk. “You know, things that don’t involve reciting poetry.”

“Wow,” you deadpanned, crossing your arms. “Do you always have this much charm, or is it just for me?”

“Depends,” he replied casually, closing his notebook with a light thud. “Do you always take everything personally, or is it just because you know I’m right?”

You blinked, momentarily stunned into silence. This was going to be a long partnership.

---

The first training session in the library was about as smooth as you expected—which was to say, not smooth at all.

“You know, you could try to take this seriously,” you said as Rin flipped through a set of sample questions, barely paying attention.

“I am taking it seriously,” he replied, setting the packet down. “I’m just not panicking, unlike you.”

“I’m not panicking,” you snapped, though the furrow in your brow betrayed you.

Rin tilted his head, regarding you with a mixture of amusement and exasperation. “Right. You’re completely calm. That’s why you’re holding that pen like you’re about to duel someone.”

Your grip on the pen immediately loosened, and Rin chuckled under his breath.

The two of you fell into a rhythm of reluctant cooperation. Despite his irritating sarcasm, Rin was sharp, dissecting complex problems with ease. And despite his dismissive attitude, he listened—though he rarely admitted it—whenever you pointed out gaps in his reasoning.

But it was the accidental touches that threw you off.

Your hands brushed when you both reached for the same sheet of paper, and the contact sent an unexpected spark through your chest. A quiet “sorry” escaped his lips, and for a brief moment, you thought you caught a flicker of hesitation in his usually confident eyes.

It was nothing. Or at least, that’s what you told yourself.

---

As the day of the quiz bee approached, you found yourself pacing outside the classroom, clutching your notes nervously. The responsibility of representing the school suddenly felt much heavier than you’d anticipated.

“Are you planning to wear a hole in the floor?”

Rin’s voice startled you out of your thoughts. He stood a few feet away, hands tucked casually into his pockets.

You opened your mouth to retort but hesitated, glancing at the water bottle in his hand. “What’s that for?”

“For you,” he said, holding it out. “You look like you’re about to faint. Can’t have you passing out before the competition.”

“I’m fine,” you muttered, crossing your arms. But when he didn’t move, you reluctantly took the bottle.

“Thanks,” you said, your voice softer. After a moment, you added, “Good luck, by the way.”

Rin’s lips quirked into the faintest smirk. “We don’t need luck,” he said. “We’ve got my brains and… whatever it is you bring to the table.”

You rolled your eyes but couldn’t stop the small smile that tugged at your lips.

---

The auditorium buzzed with anticipation, and you felt your nerves coil tighter with every passing minute. As the participants were seated, Rin leaned closer, his teal eyes sharp with amusement.

“You’re shaking,” he observed, his voice low enough for only you to hear.

“I’m not—”

“Yes, you are,” he interrupted. “Relax. We’ve got this.”

His voice was steady, almost calming, and you found yourself nodding despite the teasing.

When the questions started, everything faded except the two of you. Rin handled math and science questions with a precision that left you momentarily speechless, his solutions flowing so naturally it was almost mesmerizing.

“Focus,” he murmured, nudging you lightly when a question in your area came up.

You answered confidently, earning an approving nod from him. “Not bad,” he said, the corner of his mouth twitching upward.

The quiz bee continued, the two of you working together seamlessly despite your differences. Each small interaction—a shared glance, a subtle brush of hands—felt like a thread tying you closer together.

---

When the results were announced, you and Rin were just one point shy of first place.

“We were so close!” you said, laughing despite yourself.

Rin’s brows furrowed as he scanned through the score sheet, his analytical mind already dissecting what might have gone wrong. “One point,” he muttered, his tone laced with frustration.

“Hey,” you said, nudging him lightly. “It’s not the end of the world. We still did great.”

He glanced at you, his expression softening. “You’re taking this a lot better than I expected.”

“Maybe because I enjoyed it,” you admitted with a small smile. “Working with you, I mean. It was… fun.”

“Fun,” he repeated, as though the word was foreign to him. But the faint smile tugging at his lips told you he didn’t disagree.

---

The week following the quiz bee, you expected life to return to normal. To your surprise, the school had other plans.

By Monday, posters of the quiz bee results were plastered in the hallways. Your names were printed in bold letters—Rin Itoshi and (Y/N)—Second Place Winners! Teachers spoke of it during class, while students congratulated you both whenever they passed by.

“Looks like we’re the new school celebrities,” you joked to Rin as you walked together toward an assembly.

Rin shrugged, unbothered. “They’ll forget about it in a week.”

“I don’t know,” you teased. “Some people are really excited to know you’re good at more than soccer.”

“Don’t push it,” he said dryly, but there was a faint, amused glint in his eyes.

When you reached the auditorium, a staff member gestured for the two of you to come up onstage. A podium had been set up with a banner behind it that read, "Congratulations, Quiz Bee Participants!" The school wanted to make the most of your achievement.

As you walked up, Rin let out a barely audible sigh. “This is unnecessary,” he muttered.

“It’s just a picture,” you whispered back. “Smile, and we’ll get this over with.”

Once onstage, a student photographer directed you both to stand beside the podium. You positioned yourself on one side, with Rin on the other.

“Ready?” the photographer called out, adjusting the camera.

You turned toward the camera but hesitated when you caught a glimpse of Rin in the corner of your eye. Unlike his usual aloof self, he actually looked… relaxed. He even had a faint smile on his face, which somehow made you look longer than you intended.

That’s when Rin noticed.

“What?” he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Nothing,” you said quickly, redirecting your gaze. But the teasing smirk creeping onto his lips made it clear he didn’t believe you.

As the photographer called for final adjustments, Rin suddenly reached out and brushed something near your temple.

“Your hair,” he said simply, fixing a stray strand with surprising gentleness.

The soft touch sent a jolt through you. Your breath hitched, and before you could react, Rin looked back toward the camera.

The photographer clicked the shutter just in time to capture the aftermath—Rin, standing tall with a small but confident smile, and you, completely flustered as you looked up at him instead of the lens.

“Great shot!” the photographer exclaimed, unaware of the flurry of emotions in your chest.

You climbed down the stage after Rin, trying to gather your thoughts. “What was that about?” you asked, slightly out of breath.

“What was what about?” he replied nonchalantly, glancing at you with feigned innocence.

“The hair thing!” you blurted, your cheeks warming.

“Oh, that.” He shrugged. “It was bothering me.”

“You could’ve just said something,” you muttered, still flustered.

“Would you have fixed it yourself if I did?” he countered, smirking. When you stayed quiet, he added, “Didn’t think so.”

Despite his usual teasing, there was a subtle warmth in his voice. You couldn’t tell if he was doing this on purpose or if Rin Itoshi really was this obliviously charming.

---

Later that day, the photo from the assembly was pinned on the school’s bulletin board. It didn’t take long for students to notice the details.

“Is (Y/N) looking at Rin in this picture?” one whispered.

“And Rin’s smiling?! I didn’t even know he could smile,” another chimed in.

You buried your face in your hands as you overheard the gossip. Rin, on the other hand, seemed unbothered as usual.

“What’s the big deal?” you mumbled when you caught up to him after class.

He tilted his head, smirking. “You’re overthinking again.”

“That’s easy for you to say.”

“Relax,” he said, his voice unusually soft. “It’s just a picture. Besides…” He paused, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. “You didn’t look bad.”

Your heart stuttered at the unexpected compliment, but before you could say anything, he added:

“Just try not to get a big head over it.”

And with that, Rin walked away, leaving you to wrestle with the mix of emotions he always seemed to stir.

---

Days passed, but the memory of the quiz bee lingered. In class, Rin couldn’t help but steal glances at you, his mind replaying moments he thought he’d brushed off.

You were just his partner for a school event.

That’s all it was.

And yet, when your laugh echoed across the hallway, or your hand brushed his while passing a note, Rin found his thoughts straying in ways he couldn’t quite explain.

And though he would never admit it, the memory of your shared moments during the quiz bee was one he wouldn’t forget anytime soon.

Note: this story might be based on my own experience,,, :P

THE FOOL: BAKUGOU KATSUKI DEVELOPS A CRUSH

content: fem!reader, non-quirk au. fluff. they're high school students. reader is from humanities strand. bakugou is in-denial

Reader was tasked to perform a speech in a random class section. Katsuki crushes on reader first and was emotionally constipated about it. 

The first time Bakugou Katsuki saw you made him think that you're a big flirt. You know how to get boys eating at the palm of your hands, make them sit or beg and he definitely saw you giving Izuku a smile that he can call as "ethereal" as you ask him for a favor of borrowing his Math notebook. Now, don't get him wrong. He doesn't know your name or which strand were you from. He just knows he doesn't like you, at all.

The second time Bakugou Katsuki saw you was when you were with your friends at the canteen horsing around. Hugging an extra from the back as they feed you some yoghurt to which he mentally takes note of. Your hair was pulled back by a headband which exposed your forehead, making you look younger and full of life.

"You know her? You're staring too hard at her! She's from the humanities! She's a great speaker! I hope she performs in our class." Denki elbowed Bakugou as he scowled. What's so great about her? She looks like another extra. As if you sensed them talking about you, your head immediately looked at them and you waved in greeting. Another smile plastered on your lips.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

The first time you saw Bakugou Katsuki, you didn't liked him. The way his voice would startle you as he called to his friends. It's like second nature for you to flinch away from loud things and people. The reason was that being highly-sensitive, you get tired and annoyed with your surroundings. So, when you hear his voice, you shrink away. You know Bakugou Katsuki, blonde-haired and foul tempered but, intelligent and competitive. You know he's from the Science department and you don't like him.

The second time you saw him was during the Mythology Quizbee. Your group was up against his, and you almost cried when you ran out of ink. Bakugou sneered at you and heavens forbid, you almost slammed his head with your small whiteboard. But the unexpected part was that he threw you a marker, told you to get your shit together and fight him fairly.

"You know him? He's bad news." Was all your friend murmured as she caught you staring at Bakugou.

"Just curious."

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

"There are times when I would wake up in the middle of the night, after my first heartbreak, wondering and crying, where did I go wrong? I would often stop at my tracks as tears would form in my eyes and this knot in my throat gets tighter." Bakugou seemed entranced as you did your speech in front of his class. Your eyes weren't teary but, he sensed the sadness and longing in it. "My friends would say that I deserve better. That I needed someone who can make me happier and won't treat me like a toy. Pick me up when you need me and drop me when you don't." He clenched his fist underneath the desk, the quiver on your voice shocked his core.

He doesn't know you so, why does he feel protective?

"Falling in love, now that was a fun trick. Love makes you weak. It makes you patient, it makes you breathe for the sole purpose of the other person. And maybe, I was wrong in the way of loving him but, when I love,” You took a deep breath and let your eyes roam, settling on the blonde-haired boy who was staring at you with his red eyes. “I love unconditionally. You’re the only one in my eyes and I will never hurt you.” You slowly grinned before giving him a full-blown smile and Bakugou felt his heart clench in a painful manner.

What was that?!

Bakugou suddenly felt his senses in-tuned with the way you move in front of his class. The sound of the ceiling fan and aircondition was way too loud, the sun-rays seemed too kiss your skin perfectly and he was hyper-aware of your existense.

No.

No.

No. No. No. No. He is not developing a crush on you. Blood rushed to his cheeks when you caught his eyes, giving him another small smile. You were just there.

The speech was finished and you were bowing, giving his classmates a rating card that will determine your grade and everyone was complimenting you. He suddenly felt a bit idiotic for thinking that you only smiled at him. You were the star and he's an extra in the audience.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Bakugou Katsuki avoided you like the plague well, you didn't feel his avoidance because you were too busy with your studies, school organization works and hobbies to see him fumbling around you. He avoided you as if his life depended on it but, he can't help but listen to your laugh when your friend group would brush past his group.

I do not have a crush on her. I can't have a crush on her.

"Bakubro, are you okay? You look sweltering? Do you wanna go to the nurse's office?" Kirishima asked his friend and he nodded, feeling weak in the knees as you went on lightly with your steps. You reminded him of a pixie, fleeting from one flower to another. Plucking hearts of people without even realizing it.

You entered the nurse's office because you weren't feeling well from the heat. The sound of someone breathing was a good indication that someone else was with you because, you're scared of being alone in a room.

"Hi! What can I do for you?" You smiled at the nurse and told her that you're a bit dizzy from the heat of the afternoon sun.

"Just rest near that boy and I'll fetch some water. No hanky panky tho!" She giggled and hopped on her way out. You didn't mind her and pulled out a romance novel from your pocket.

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

"Really? A romance novel?" You almost shrieked when you heard a sleepy voice from the patient near your bed. His blonde hair was a bit of a mess but, the smell of cookies and caramel coming off of him made you comfortable.

It was Bakugou Katsuki.

"Of all things I could dream about, it's her. It's her. Reading a goddamned romance novel in the clinic. Ain't it a bit cliché?" He snapped his fingers in front of you and sneered. "I don't have a crush on you, got it? So get out of my dreams and ignore me. You're a playgirl. A klutz. You're clumsy. Smart. You beat me in some competitions. So, I can't have a crush on you."

You were wondering if you're the one who's dreaming because, Bakugou Katsuki is confessing to you?

"I can't have a crush on you because, you're so out of my league." He finished his ramblings, lied back down, turned his back on you and slept again. It baffled you. Adding more questions than statement in your mind.

Does he like me or hate me?

♡ ♡ ♡ ♡

Bakugou Katsuki woke up feeling refreshed and cool. He noticed someone else taking a nap on the clinic bed near his and only saw the Romance book clutched in their fists. Your back turned away from him and a blanket covering your form.

"Oh, Katsuki! Just sign your signature here and you can go back to your classroom." The school nurse urged him with a smile on her lips and he scowled. The blonde boy pulled his own pen from his pocket and scanned the paper.

I think I had a dream where I said some things to her.

He shrugged it off and signed his name on the form when he saw yours next to his. He stormed back in the rest area and gingerly lifted the blanket.

You were sleeping in a fetal position.

He was truly and utterly fucked.

Imposter Syndrome

I was an over-achiever since gradeschool.

Charot.

Simula elementary up to hs, honor student pero never ko inacknowledge yun kasi konti lang naman kami sa batch namin. Kahit nung nagtransfer ako sa public nung elementary and pinanglaban sa quizbee, di ko din pala naacknowledge yun kasi iniisip ko, masipag lang ako magsulat at magbasa ng notes. Nung pumasa ako sa scholarship sa dost, di ko din nacelebrate yun kasi nasa isip ko di naman kahirapan yung exam kaya ako nakapasa don. Nung nakagraduate ako on time sa state university na engineering school, di ko din nacelebrate yun kasi parang yun naman yung required na tapusin on time kasi wala akong choice need ko magtrabaho kagad. Nung pumasa ako sa boards na pasado lahat ng subjects, wala di ko din nacwlebrate yun kasi mas magagaling mga kabatch ko e sisiw lang sakanila tsaka matataas nakuha nila kesa sakin na sakto lang talaga. Di ko din naman nacelebrate yung pagkapasa sa boards kasi kailangan ko kagad magwork tsaka wala kaming pera nung time na yun, sembreak tsaka walang trabaho si mama, kay papa lang kami naasa ng budget nun. Kaso ayun nga etong december 2019 tinigil kagad ni papa financial support sakin. Kailangan ko kagad magtrabaho nun kasi hindi kami magsusurvive ni mama kasi wala din sya work kasi sembreak. Pinakiusapan lang namin na hanggang december man lang makapagwork lang talaga ako. Wala na. Kahit di ko field at di ko trip yung work, nag apply ako sa lab equipment provider na company. Kahit sales exec yung position, palag na kasi kailangan ko magwork. Hanggang sa wala na talaga financial support ni papa nung nagwork na ko. Unang part ng 2020 mejo okay pa kasi may income kami parehas ni mama kaso ayun nga march 2020, naglock down, nawalan ng work si mama. I did my best naman as sales exec nung buong 2020. Nagsasakripisyo magwork kahit pandemic and magcommute kasi wala naman ako choice. I did my best talaga. But ayun ang alam ko malaki sales ng lab equipment conpany na yun pero ang barat ng bonus namin. Mas mababa ng konti sa inflation. Ang rason nila, pandemic daw. E pandemic nga madami kami sales kasi ginagamit sa covid testing. Di ko talaga maintindihan.

July—August 2021. Nalaman ko na ako lang pala yung increase e ganun lang kaliit. Yung iba e malaki increase kasi lagi sila nag oot. di ko gets kasi kailangan ba more time to spend e yun na yung basehan ng performance. Naabot ko yung quota ko for the year kahit august palang. Naabot ko din quota ko last year. Di ko maintindihan bakit pakiramdam nila under performing ako kahit lagpas na ko sa quota. Dahil ba nagagawa ko mga work ko ng on time? Ewan ko basta nagtampo talaga ako nhng nalaman ko yun. Lagi ko dati tinuturn down yung recruiter sa buong stay ko sa lab equipment company na yun kasi nga nagpeperform ako ng maayos. Politics talaag nagtrigger sakin magresign dun.

Ngayon naman, gusto ko na yung field of work ko pero parang wala ako nagagawang maganda sa work kasi di ako certified. Pero nakagawa na ko ng number of SOPs. Pero di nga ako certified kaya ayun ewan para lang akong saling pusa don.
