    Summary

    “Better than you, at least!” Todoroki responded, “In fact, I bet I understand romance better than you too.”
    “Prove it, Strawberry Shortcake,” Katsuki said, “I bet I'm better at this whole love and feelings bullshit.”

    The unthinkable has happened: Midoriya Izuku and Kirishima Ejirou, previous social caretakers of the most unfriendly introverts in Class 3-A, have gotten girlfriends. This, of course, means that a chaotic new companionship gets formed in the echo chamber of a pair of extremely reclusive and socially bizarre classmates when their "normal" best friends leave them to their own devices.

    One night, Todoroki Shouto and Bakugou Katsuki, said introverts, come up with a highly competitive romantic bet while nursing broken hearts over the sunshiney yet apparently straight dudes in their lives. The game: play matchmaker and find the other the perfect "gay and insane" boyfriend by the school festival. Naturally, due to their extremely competitive natures, growing closeness with each other, and complete mutual lack of social and emotional skills, The Bet immediately goes off the rails and spirals into something that U.A. has never seen before.

    Summary

    " And yeah, no, he’s not wrong. They haven’t done anything like that, truthfully. It’s not that surprising, either, considering they’ve only been together for such a short amount of time. Plus, they’re busy students, so they didn’t really have crazy amounts of time to be a sappy couple during the daytime.

    Now that he thinks about it, Katsuki doesn’t even think that either of them have kissed the other in any context whatsoever. But it’s not that he didn’t want to, though. Sure, it was never a huge, crazy need, but he’s certainly not opposed to it. Again, they’re fucking dating now, so of course he wants to do stupid romantic shit with Eijirou. He’s thought about it once or twice, letting his mind wander when he doesn’t have to be paying attention in classes or when he’s not training. And he’s certainly dreamed about it an annoyingly embarrassing amount (the count is now up to five dreams starting from the one from his stupid pining shit, yes he’s keeping track, fuck you). "

    ----

    Finally, a first kiss!

    The idiots finally are together. "Shut up" kiss trope, excellently done.

    "Momo wanted to know if you could maybe do her hair for the dance," she stated simply.

     

    "Fine," Katsuki grunted, not bothering to open his eyes again.

     

    "So do Uraraka and Tsu," Kyouka continued, "they were both really impressed by your secret skills."

     

    "It was a fucking braid," Katsuki responded. Why the fuck was everyone making it out to seem like such a big deal?

     

    "Well yeah, but knowing your perfectionist ass, you could probably do a bunch of fancy updos if you tried," she pointed out.

     

    He wanted to tell her to fuck off, but that seemed rude. Instead, he opted for a gruff, "Damn right I fucking can."

    or "Bakugou knows how to do hair (and it helps him make friends)"

    Summary

    Sero nods. “It’s the chance of a lifetime, really,” he says. “We want you to date Bakugou, for the sake of his reputation with the press. Some public appearances, a few ‘candid’ photos. For at least a couple of months.”

    “Bakugou sent you to ask me to date him?” Kirishima asks, baffled.

    “Of course not. We, his people, are asking you to date him. He’s going to have to get on board, if he wants his career to survive. And in the bargain, Riot will get all sorts of publicity, because their lyricist will be dating one of the industry’s hottest stars. A win for everyone.”

    When Kirishima Eijirou's band hits the big time, he's not prepared for his newfound fame. He's even less prepared to meet the actor he's been crushing on for years, or to start dating him as a publicity stunt. The closer Kirishima gets to Bakugou Katsuki, the more he realizes he's in over his head. But it's hard to stop, once his heart is in it.

    He clicked the pen his therapist had given him, opening the first page. In big letters, he wrote, “Reasons To Live: 1-100.”

    Then, he flipped to the middle of the journal. He paused, felt-tip inches from the page. This was gonna be another mistake to add to his long-running list, wasn’t it?

    Caving, he put the pen to the page.

    “Reasons to Die: 1-100.”

    The idea was simple; old as time.

    First to one hundred wins.

    ***

    After being kicked from the friend group his second year, radio silence from Bakugou over the summer, and a suicide attempt, Kirishima starts to spiral when he returns to UA.

    Bakugou walks back into his life wanting to know why his hair is black all of the sudden.

    So heartwrenching, one of the few fics that's actually made me cry. Some of the feelings hit almost too close to home.

    Either the best or the worst thing to read during a depressive episode, I'm not sure.
