Bakugou x fem reader

“Hmmmm.” You kissed him again. Those stupidly broad shoulders were blocking anyone’s view, so you let your tongue trace across his lip as you pulled away.

“Dr Pepper.”

He laughed and ran his tongue across the path yours had just taken. “Nah, cream soda.”

“Nuh uh.”

“Yuh huh.“

“But…but cinnamon?”

He laughed again, blowing and popping a red bubble in your face. The unmistakable spice wafted toward you.

“Dammit. That’s cheating.”

“It’s called strategy.” He leaned forward, smirk in full force…ready to kiss the pout and/or puffed cheeks you were giving him in return. He halted as a loud groan erupted behind him.

“The fuck is your problem, phone charger?”

“Duuuuude, finally. I’ve been waiting for you to ask.”

You smiled and sidestepped the man in front of you to see Kaminari spinning at his desk, eyes still glued to the ceiling. The exhale from Katsuki was the only invitation he needed to continue, raising his fingers to count off in front of his face.

“First of all, me not having a cutie come in every day to kiss is a huuuuge problem.”

Katsuki tsked, slid behind you, and rested his chin on the top of your head. You ignored the gentle tugs against your waist in the direction of the door.

“It’s totally not fair. And B, the least you could do is let me watch.”

“The fuck I will, you-“ Kaminari ignored the interruption, continuing on. “Third, do you guys go grocery shopping like every day?” He stopped spinning and cocked his head to the side.

“Grocery shopping?”

“Yea, like you want Dr Pepper. It’s been weeks of you needing something every day…yesterday was mint ice cream, the day before that was coffee, and it’s always something different. It’s weird.”

You laughed, pushing away the hand that had left your waist and was now trying to cover your mouth.

“Don’t you dare tell that perv.” You laughed harder at the whine in his voice as you broke free and hid behind Kaminari’s chair.

“We aren’t grocery shopping. We’re playing a game.”

“Oh, can I play?” You clutched your side as the image of that made your laughter more intense.

“You absolutely can fucking not.” Bakugou nearly growled the words.

“Why not? You’re so mean, man.”

You wiped the tears from your eyes. “Charge, the game is guessing the chapstick flavor.” Kaminari rolled his head back to look up at you.

“Guessing the chap-“ his eyes widened as Bakugou let out a huff in your direction. “Ohhhh, I see…” He smiled and winked at your boyfriend, who was now successfully tugging you toward the door. “I could totally play that. So what will you wear for us tomorrow?”

“Not wearin’ anything for you tomorrow, idiot.”

“That’s hot, bro.”

You giggled as Katsuki’s ears became the brightest part of his costume.

“Shut the fuck up and get back to work.”

You were both nearly in the hallway when you heard one last shout behind you.

“Wait! Does that mean you have like 237 different lip glosses?”

You laughed, pushing Katsuki forward as he tried to turn and launch himself back in the room.

Finally had a story caught in my head. First thing I’ve finished and didn’t hate in a while. Hope you like it. 🖤 slowly unblocking my brain

Hi! Hope you have a great day/night,

I was wondering if you could write irl!schlatt x gn!reader (romantic) hcs where reader cooks dinner for schlatt and schlatt is just in awe at how good readers cooking skills are?

SCHLATT X GN!READER

Includes: irl!Schlatt, fluff

Pronouns: they/them

Notes: Hello!! I hope you have an excellent evening as well! Thank you so much for requesting! I pray that it’s to your liking! (And I’m so sorry I couldn’t get this out sooner!)

Warnings: use of the pet name darling

===========

He loves watching you cook

What he’s loves even more is watching you cooking up close while trying to get your attention

He’ll come up behind you, wrapping his arms around your upper body and start asking stupid questions

“What’s THIS?”

“....that’s salt Schlatt.”

He would always question what the spices are

Also doesn’t know what 90% of the utensils are

Attempts to use a baking spatula to flip an egg:/

(He probably doesn’t know how to work a microwave)

Halfway through he starts to get the hang of it

“LOOK I DIDN’T BURN THE TOAST”

“Very good darling, I’m proud of you”

He would make you breakfast on your birthday

The next thing you know you’re waking up to the fire alarm going off.

absolutely amazed at how fast you can whisk

(Kinda scared at how fast you can chop things tho)

Would challenge you to a cooking battle

I don’t think he’d be a sore loser, instead I think he’s stunned by how talented you are

At the end of the day he always helps you clean the dishes even if he didn’t help make the food

And you both watch ratatouille while curled up on the couch

“Can we make that for dinner tomorrow??”

“Sure Schlatt”

[apocalypticgargoyle]

Did someone say magical Forrest wedding???

THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND SO PEACEFUL I LOVE THIS

[torarot]

Summer has officially started for me and you know what that means. Requests have been opened again! Feel free to send some in or just come and chat!

Fluff, x reader (feat. Bakugou & Kaminari)

You blinked back at the sunlight cutting across the patio, slowly seeing more of a silhouette talking to Bakugou. You elbowed him in the side until he nodded as if you’d spoken.

“Oh. Just Kaminari.”

“Just? What kinda’ intro is that.” The blue shades slid back into his hair, showing off the creases around his eyes when his smile widened at you.

“Hel-“

“Sorry, but you are so pretty.” You paused at the interruption, tilting your head to take in his expression and features.

“Oh? Thanks. You’re pretty too.” You turned back to the man beside you. “Gonna grab a drink. See you guys inside?”

“Um…dude?”

“Hmm?”

“Did they just shoot me down or?”

“Don’t know. Don’t care.”

You heard the scraping of a chair as you wandered into the building. The air was much cooler than the summer you’d left on the other side of glass. Yet the bakery atmosphere was thick was cinnamon, meeting you with a different sort of warmth. You jumped as a hand wound around your waist. You relaxed into it as you saw the pink skin tone.

“Mina, I almost smacked the shit out of you.”

“Um, you should smack people who grab you.”

The guys caught up as you wriggled loose of your friend’s grip. She squealed just as you broke loose.

“I love your earrings!” Your hand flew up to your ears, curious which ones you’d put on earlier. You found the cool surface of clay polymer and laughed.

“Thanks, they’re my new favorites.”

“Mmm, I like ‘em too. Didn’t even notice them at first. Only saw that beautiful face.” You turned your smile to Kaminari as he fell into the seat beside Mina.

“I’ll have to let the guy know he should work harder at the earrings if my face is stealing the attention.” Your eyes darted to the table, seeing she had already started breakfast without you. “I’m gonna grab a coffee. You good?” Mina took a large bite of the muffin she’d been working on and waved you off in the direction of the counter.

“The fuck keeps happening?”

“What? If you spilled on my fur again, I’m covering you in acid.”

“They-dude, I don’t even have anything. What would I spill? Wait… wasn’t I annoyed about something other than you?” You caught the sound of a soft slap. “Ow.”

You took your time looking through the display case and menu, letting their bickering float around you. Mina seemed to have countless faux brothers she bantered with like this.

“Oh, so am I broken or are theyyy?” The blonde’s voice morphed into a whine…very younger brother of him. “I mean, NO reaction? I’m not that fuckin’ low on the hero charts, what’s the deal?”

“Hmm. Maybe they don’t like blondes…or idiots.”

“Shut your-“

You turned just in time to see a pink finger flick a forehead. You sipped at your drink, hovering near the chair they’d left open for you once you reached the table.

“They don’t have a problem with blondes.” You smiled at the way Bakugou chimed in without looking up from his phone. He always seemed to be actively listening to his friends no matter what he was pretending to be more focused on.

“Sorry, kami…they just don’t like you then.”

Bakugou finally looked up at you when you still hadn’t settled into the seat beside him. You shook your drink at him, rattling the ice.

“This is really good. Sure you didn’t want one? It’s a new spiced one.”

“What about meee?” You laughed. The whine still hadn’t left Kaminari’s tone. He really was giving off younger sibling energy.

“Spiced? You seem like you prefer the sugary stuff.”

“You’re so sweet I could skip the sugar.” You hummed, processing the information.

“So you want me to get you a spiced one?”

His mouth fell open. “What? No, I-“ You sat down, watching his desperate gaze fly from a laughing Mina to a smirking Bakugou. “What…is…happening…to me?”

“They’re just not great with that.” You furrowed your brows as a pink hand gave unsolicited head pats, tugging your head away from her reach after she got a couple taps in.

“What does that EVEN mean?”

Someone tugged your drink from your loosened grip as you swatted at the pink attack that was never ending.

“They didn’t even realize we were dating for a few weeks.” Bakugou took a long sip from your drink. “That is good.”

“Hey! I said I’d get you your own.” You yanked it back, frowning at the new level halfway down the ice. “What’re you guys talkin’ about anyway?”

“How pretty you are.” You rolled your eyes, shoving him out of his chair.

“Haha. Very funny. Go buy me another one of these, you monster.”

“Sure thing, beautiful.” You smacked his hand away as it pinched at your heated cheek. You saw Kaminari’s mouth was open.

“What…is…HAPPENING?” You laughed as Mina pet him like a dog.

“There there.”

Fluff, Bakugou x fem reader

Part of the Riot🐾 universe

"There’s no way I’m losing to you this year!"

"Ha! Shut up and prove it."

"Okay anddd go!" You both yanked the blankets off of your sections of the table, revealing pink and red piles of goods. Your annual Valentine’s clearance contest had started years ago. Whoever pulled the most savings without hitting the price cap was the winner. You had initially thought your pile looked biggest, but now you realized…

“God dammit! How did you even find that thing?”

You glared at the explosively dressed teddy bear he had sat in one of the chairs. You hadn’t realized the blanket draped over the table, hiding the proof of his victory.

“It was easy.” You didn't have to look at him to hear the smirk framing his words.

“Easy how?? The hero bears sold out before Valentine’s Day!”

“Doesn’t matter.” His red eyes shifted from you.

“You hid it, didn’t you? That’s cheating!”

“That's actually called a logical strategy. It’s not my fault those extras couldn’t find a bright orange Bakubear.”

“That’s definitely cheat-" You could barely hold in your laughter. "Wait...a what?”

“Huh?”

“Aw…Did you name him??”

“No. She did.”

"Uh huh..." You tilted around him to see the wagging tail and hungry eyes. He was already dangling bear paws in front of Riot’s face. “Oh so that one’s not for me? I thought you wanted to win?” He froze, eyes darting to you, the piles, and the dog.

“Now who’s cheating? You know we give her the animals anyway.”

“But I haven’t even cuddled him yet. Who am I gonna sleep with tonight now?”

“Howitzer impact.” Riot responded to the command immediately, launching herself at the bear's stomach before running off to one of her many beds.

“Hey!” His arms wrapped around your waist before you could move towards the kid and her prize.

“Hey, what? You can cuddle the real thing, brat.”

“It’s cute you got all jealous of Bakubear, but you still lose now.”

"Tsk. I didn’t lose shit."

Closest thing to v-day romance that I am willing to write.

Fluff, Bakugou x fem reader

Part 10 of the Broken Collection

How was this even happening? 

You stared down into the drawer that wasn’t cooperating. This would be much easier if it could just manifest the straw you suddenly needed. You groaned, setting the cup down for the fourth...fifth time. Ugh, whatever it was. You couldn’t make out the muffled words coming from the other room, but they were probably directed at Kitsune if the steady thumps of tail were any indication. The cabinet below had more promising options. You finally found a matching set that had a straw that still had a sense of duty...unlike the many others that had the audacity to let you lose them around the city. 

You paused at the sound of a much larger thump, but still took a moment to dump the water into the new, hopefully more acceptable, cup choice. You weren’t surprised to find him on the floor when you made it back to the living room. It took an unusual amount of time for him to disentangle his limbs and decide to abandon the attempts to get back on the sofa. Instead, he opted to just roll over and sit on the floor where he’d landed. Thankfully, you had put on less of a show when you’d drunkenly found your way to his place weeks ago. 

“How’s it feel to be the number one lightweight?”  

“Course I’m number one.” His smile was wide and sure as he looked up at you. He had some nerve being cute right now. Red eyes drifted down to the grenade-shaped tumbler you were holding. “So you did have a straw.”

You couldn’t quite bring yourself to roll your eyes as he snatched the cup, waggling his tongue unsuccessfully a couple times before finally getting everything lined up for optimal hydration. You made sure to wait for him to finish a few gulps before risking distracting him again. 

“Pretty sure you would’ve been just fine with the other cup.” He leaned away from you and covered the straw protectively as if you were threatening to take it back. 

“It tastes better with a straw.” 

“I see.” 

“Do you?” He squinted his eyes, either in distrust or because the light was behind you.

“Sure.” 

“Hear that? She’s lying again, Kit.” 

You ignored him, but scrunched your nose at your dog. You knew her nod was a coincidence and probably more related to watching drops of water trail to the floor from the now sideways cup, but it still felt like another betrayal from the treacherous creature.  

It was more or less her fault you were even in this situation. You huffed as she tried to crawl into his lap, quickly deciding she was completely to blame for the direction the evening had taken. She really had no business growing a habit for midnight walks due to your inconsistent schedule. She had some nerve tricking you to walk the opposite end of the park than usual. She definitely had some nerve when she yanked the leash out of your grip for the first time in her entire fucking life. She, without a doubt, acted with intent when she kept leading you towards a scent she knew. She was also unapologetically pleased as fuck when she hopped up onto a bench next to an unnecessarily attractive blonde that was cuddling a phone, but who didn’t seem to have any intention of answering the loud voice coming from it. A voice you recognized. You stepped closer, grabbing the phone to see a running face time call with a very stressed Red Riot on the screen.  

“Oh thank fuck...wait, why are you-shit it doesn’t matter. Where the hell is he?” 

“Past the river by my apartment.” 

“How the-idiot! Did you use your fucking quirk to ditch us?” 

You felt a similar level of rage to what Kiri was now trying to direct toward the hero ignoring him. Bakugou knew better than to use his quirk to travel off the clock...especially when he was this fucking trashed. Although, you weren’t positive if he’d ever been this trashed. He mumbled something that sounded like “too many wrong fucking people” into Kitsune’s fur as he continued to bury himself into her neck.  

“Fuck…how the hell did you let him get this drunk?” 

“Okay, that is actually not my fault. I didn’t know Kaminari and Sero gave him a shot every time I went to dance with Mina.” 

“They went a little fuckin’ far this time.” 

“Well...those two are taken care of already.” He shifted the screen to show Mina still towering over the culprits, attempting some form of re-education involving bops on the head and a tone you recognized but had, thankfully, never been on the receiving end of. 

“It’ll be a while before I can get over there for him.” The blonde was now almost exclusively being held upright by your dog. He was at least awake enough to blink his eyes at you slowly as he now resisted sleep. You turned at a cough from your palm, pulling your gaze back to the phone. “You good to stay with him?” 

“No.” 

“Oh...um, well I just thought-” 

“No, I mean he can just sleep it off at my place. You seem to have your hands full and I’m not close to—your place.” Of course you weren’t. When you moved last year, you had made sure of it. He lived a few floors below Bakugou. A flash of pink covered the screen as Mina took the phone. 

“Are you sure you’ll be okay with...” She looked over her shoulder to aim a glare at the men behind her before turning back to you. “Are you sure you’ll be okay?” 

“Yea, I kinda owe him one right?” 

As you watched the water bottle roll under your vintage couch and a distraught Dynamight try to dive after it, nearly toppling the entire sofa, and your dog take a similar position with her shoulders down, ass up, paws outstretched trying to help pounce what he was after...you were realizing how very wrong you had been. Your impromptu sleepover had been awkward, sure, but it didn’t seem to be a fair trade for the situation you were now taking part of. You walked past both of them, around to the wall that the bottle was resting against. You handed it to the outstretched calloused hands. He frowned at the unsatisfying sounds coming from the straw as he took a sip. He sighed a bit longer than anyone would need to before turning back to the wide brown eyes of Kit.  

“She drank it.”  

You snatched the cup back, and moved for the kitchen for water and a towel for whatever puddles were now under your sofa. You really hoped he'd fall asleep soon.

Fluff w a splash of angst, Bakugou x female reader

Part of the Cute as hell Colection

Tap

You twisted the volume higher, drowning the unexpected noise with a song you just wanted to feel the vibration of. The words washed over you, failing to grasp your attention the way the writer had probably intended.

Tap tap tap

You spun the control further to the right. The bass rattled the mirrors, flashing the reflected lights of his car parked behind you.

You jumped at the force suddenly applied to your door. You looked up at the window, finding only black. His sweater was pressed against your car. The dummy hadn’t even grabbed a jacket before following you. You tilted to see more. His hand was running through his blonde hair. You noticed a paper was tucked into the corner of your window.

Brat, I’m not fucking leaving.

You smiled at the messy letters, noticing the small heart scribbled in the corner instead of the usual angry smiley face. It looked like he had nearly ripped it off before changing his mind. It clung onto the rest of the message, despite the strong wind tugging at it. You shifted to reach for the glovebox. You scribbled your own note on a receipt, tucking it into the opposite corner as his. You tapped the window just as he shivered.

Get in before you freeze then.

You leaned over to the passenger side to unlock the door. You cut the volume in half before reclining your seat back so you could look up at the emotionless car interior. You didn’t want to meet his eyes yet. You couldn’t face whatever was waiting for you there. It would be awful to find any of the looks you’d received before you were able to numbly fill out the paperwork and get out of that office before he’d come for you. Every gaze had guilt or anger or pity or a mixture of all of them…until you couldn’t look at any eyes anymore.

You wanted someone to look at you with what you deserved. Hatred, disgust, disappointment. You were a hero who had failed. You weren’t strong enough. You weren’t fast enough. You weren’t good enough. And yet, someone else paid the price for your shortcomings. You-

Your eyes widened, finding red irises hovering above your own. You hadn’t even heard him get in. You hadn’t felt him recline his own chair. You hadn’t noticed he’d twisted his body above you so you couldn’t look away this time. His face went blurry as you saw the same expression he always gave you…as if someone’s world hadn’t shattered today.

You heard the crackling pops of his quirk before he brushed toasty fingers across your cheek, wiping tears that you had held back until now. You closed your eyes, avoiding the gaze you didn’t deserve, but you leaned towards the warm touch. The music went nearly silent, filling the car with your suffocating thoughts for a moment before his rough voice replaced it.

“A lot of people are alive today because you showed up first.” His fingers tugged your mask free. “Not everyone is in our reach.” He ran his touch through your hair, avoiding the dried blood by focusing on the cleaner side of your head. You opened your eyes again to find his scanning over your body.

“Not much of the blood is mine.”

“You let them check your injuries?”

“Let them check enough, so you wouldn’t drag me to the hospital later. Nothing serious.” You used your thumb to smooth the wrinkles on his forehead.

He chuckled, grabbing your hand to keep it in place when you started to lift it away. He turned so he could kiss your palm, somehow choosing a spot between the bandages covering them.

“This world is better with you fighting for it. Got it?”

“Hmm…can I get it later instead?” He didn’t answer right away, holding your gaze for a moment before he leaned forward. He kissed your forehead, your right temple, your cheeks, your jaw. He hovered above your lips, letting his words fall against them.

“If ya let me drive you home right now, sure.”
