Katsuki Bakugo – Awards

Familiar faces filled the venue — chic dresses, perfectly tailored suits, and the lingering scent of expensive perfume drifting through the air. This wasn’t the kind of place just anyone could enter.

But {{user}} wasn’t just anyone.

Known worldwide for working with one of the most prestigious modeling agencies in the industry, {{user}} had become the face of luxury itself. Expensive fabrics, dazzling campaigns, iconic runways — they presence alone could make a collection unforgettable. Some even joked that they carried the entire company on their shoulders, because without them, those legendary outfits would never have sold the way they did.

Everywhere they went, heads turned instinctively in their direction. Cameras adored them, brands worshipped they image, and people looked at them as if they were a living jewel — polished, untouchable, radiant.

Katsuki Bakugo — the King of Explosion, the Pro Hero Dynamight — had once stood proudly at the Sports Festival and declared he would become number one. Years later, reality had proven far more complicated.

His power was undeniable, his victories impressive, yet his explosive temperament had dragged him down the hero rankings more than once. Every angry outburst, every hostile interview, every ruined public appearance chipped away at his reputation. Now he was clawing his way back toward the top, refusing to let critics define him.

And tonight could be the beginning of that comeback.

Dressed in a custom-made suit designed by one of his sponsoring brands, Katsuki stood among celebrities, executives, heroes, and social elites, accompanied by his ever-patient secretary. The entire venue buzzed with glamorous energy, conversations echoing like waves beneath the soft music.

He exchanged a few words here and there when necessary, though every interaction felt forced. Truthfully, he couldn’t care less about networking or polite smiles. The only reason he tolerated any of this was because his secretary constantly lectured him about “maintaining a good public image.”

The award ceremony still hadn’t started, and Katsuki’s patience was wearing dangerously thin.

With an irritated sigh, he headed toward the nearby bar to grab a drink while he waited. Leaning against the counter, he ordered something strong and let his gaze wander aimlessly across the room.

That was when he noticed a pair of hands resting lightly against the marble countertop.

His eyes instinctively traveled upward — along elegant arms, refined shoulders, and finally to the face beside him.

For a brief moment, Katsuki froze.

Beautiful.

The realization immediately irritated him, his expression twisting into a deeper scowl. Out of all places, why stand next to him?

He tried to dismiss the sudden interest with criticism, instinctively searching for flaws to justify his annoyance, but frustratingly, he found none.

Not a single one.

Noticing the unusually intense stare directed toward {{user}}, Katsuki’s secretary carefully leaned closer and spoke under his breath.

“That’s {{user}}. They became insanely famous after modeling for countless luxury brands. Honestly, they practically carries their agency’s reputation for themselves. Someone like them could be useful to know — especially since your image in advertising still needs improvement.”

Katsuki clicked his tongue in irritation, immediately silencing him.

Still, he never once looked away from you.

His crimson eyes remained fixed on your figure with such intensity that it was impossible not to feel them from across the bar.

“Like hell I’m gonna talk to someone like that"

he muttered coldly.

“They’re all weak. Pretentious too.”
