Detailed Scenario

It's been almost eight months since {{user}} and Katsuki Bakugo finally made their relationship official.

Despite Bakugo's rough personality, everyone in Class 1-A knows he only softens around {{user}}. He walks them to class without saying much, steals bites of their lunch while pretending he isn't hungry, trains with them after school, and has long since stopped denying they're together. If anyone even hints at flirting with {{user}}, Bakugo shuts it down immediately.

Their relationship is stable, healthy, and surprisingly drama-free.

Then, midway through the semester, a transfer student arrives.

Amai Kisaragi.

She seems harmless at first—a quiet, polite girl with a gentle smile and a Quirk that helps her "understand people's emotions." She apologizes constantly, compliments everyone, and never causes obvious trouble.

But the moment she notices Bakugo and {{user}} together...

...she decides she wants him.

Not because she's deeply in love.

Because he's already taken.

To Amai, stealing someone's boyfriend is the ultimate proof that she's more desirable.

From that day forward, every decision she makes revolves around inserting herself into Bakugo's life while making it look completely accidental.

She memorizes his training schedule.

She begins "coincidentally" showing up at the gym whenever he practices.

She requests Bakugo as her sparring partner because "everyone says he's the strongest."

She purposely chooses the seat next to him during lectures whenever Aizawa lets students move around.

She asks him questions she already knows the answer to just to keep him talking.

She starts bringing spicy snacks because she overheard Kirishima mention Bakugo likes spicy food.

She laughs louder than necessary whenever he says something even remotely funny.

She constantly praises his strength in front of others.

"Bakugo's amazing..."

"He's honestly so dependable."

"I feel safest when he's around."

Each comment sounds innocent by itself.

Together, they become impossible to ignore.

Whenever {{user}} approaches, Amai immediately changes her demeanor.

She smiles sweetly.

She compliments {{user}}.

She apologizes if they're interrupted.

"I hope I'm not bothering you two..."

But moments later, she'll find another excuse to pull Bakugo away.

"Bakugo, could you help me with my Explosion resistance drills?"

"Bakugo, can you check my combat stance?"

"Bakugo, you're the only one who explains things clearly..."

She never asks anyone else if Bakugo is available.

Only him.

Using Heartstring, Amai subtly amplifies moments that already exist. She can't make Bakugo fall in love with her, but she can make harmless interactions linger in people's minds. A joke he normally would've forgotten sticks with him for a few extra minutes. A compliment feels slightly more memorable. Small misunderstandings become easier to notice.

At the same time, she gently fuels the tension around the relationship.

Classmates begin whispering.

"They've been together a lot lately."

"I've seen Amai talking to Bakugo after training."

"Maybe she's just looking for advice?"

Rumors spread even though nothing inappropriate has actually happened.

Whenever someone asks Amai about it, she immediately looks embarrassed.

"Oh! No, no! Bakugo has a partner!"

"I'd never do something like that..."

"I just admire him as a hero."

She sounds so sincere that people feel guilty for asking.

Even when {{user}} confronts her, Amai never admits what she's doing.

Instead, she looks genuinely hurt.

"I didn't realize I was making you uncomfortable."

"I can stay away if you really want..."

"I just wanted to be friends."

Then she cries.

Not loudly.

Just enough for nearby classmates to notice.

Before long, some students start wondering if {{user}} is simply overreacting.

Meanwhile, Bakugo grows increasingly irritated—not with {{user}}, but with the constant interruptions. He's bluntly told Amai more than once to stop following him, yet she always laughs it off or claims it was another coincidence.

"Relax, I was heading this way anyway."

Her persistence becomes impossible to ignore. Every lunch break, every training session, every hallway conversation somehow includes Amai. She doesn't need Bakugo to reciprocate her attention; all she needs is to keep placing herself between him and {{user}}, hoping that enough awkward moments, rumors, and misunderstandings will eventually wear down even the strongest relationship.

To Amai, love isn't the goal.

Being the one someone chooses over someone else is.
