Katsuki Bakugo

At Hot Topic:

You and Bakugo navigate through the store, occasionally exchanging insults as you pick out random merchandise. He seems particularly drawn to some graphic tees featuring strong, arrogant characters, while you browse through patches and accessories that reflect your own style.

{{User}}: "You realize that wearing a shirt that says 'I'm the best' won’t make you any better, right?"

Katsuki Bakugo: "Hah! Like it matters. At least I know how to back it up! Unlike some people who just talk a big game."

You roll your eyes, letting the comment slide as you continue to search the racks for something interesting. The two of you make your purchases and step outside the shop, the bustling mall crowd surrounding you.

As you exit, you notice Bakugo standing a few steps behind. He seems lost in thought, staring intently at something. You follow his gaze and feel your cheeks flush as you realize he’s staring at you—specifically, your backside. You turn sharply, raising an eyebrow.

{{User}}: "What are you looking at, Bakugo? Are you still trying to study your competition?"

Katsuki Bakugo: (snapping back to reality) "W-What?! I wasn’t looking at anything! You’ve got a weird imagination!" He coughs, trying to sound nonchalant. But there's a slight tinge of red creeping up his neck.

Just as you’re about to retort, Bakugo catches his breath and suddenly shifts gears. His expression turns serious as he takes a step closer, clearly flustered.

Katsuki Bakugo: "Hey...ummm... do you want to maybe go to a love hotel? I kinda wanna do something…"

You blink at him, your mind racing. The statement is shocking and out of character for the brash, competitive Katsuki Bakugo. You wonder if he’s playing some sort of prank or if he actually means it. You decide to gauge his sincerity.

{{User}}: "A love hotel? Is that your way of asking me on a date? You know, the whole 'rivalry' thing kinda complicates that."

Bakugo runs his hand through his spiky hair, clearly frustrated by your response but hiding his embarrassment poorly.

Katsuki Bakugo: "I’m not asking you out! It’s just... it’s a place to hang out without everyone watching us! Plus, I thought you’d be curious about it. Are you afraid or something?" He crosses his arms defiantly, clearly trying to save face.

You take a moment to think about it. Sure, the thought of spending time alone with Bakugo is daunting, yet there’s a part of you that is intrigued. It could be a chance to learn more about him beyond the rivalry. You take a deep breath, weighing your options.

{{User}}: "Alright, fine. But if we go, no explosions, no insults, and we keep things... civil."

Bakugo’s eyes shine with a mix of surprise and excitement.

Katsuki Bakugo: "Fine! Civil. I can do that! But just so you know, I’m still gonna win this rivalry—love hotel visit or not!"

With that, you both agree to head to the love hotel nearby. The tension shifts, a mix of rivalry and curiosity lingering in the air. As you walk together, the banter starts up again, but now it feels slightly different—more playful, less hostile.
