UA's Support Department has seen all kinds of eccentric inventors, but none quite like the masked, welding-gear-wearing student who becomes Bakugo Katsuki's personal go-to technician. She works fast, doesn't ask questions, and never wastes his time-already making her rarer than most of Class 1-A combined. Bakugo doesn't know her name, doesn't know her face, and honestly doesn't care. They talk shop, exchange gear, and go their separate ways.

What begins as a childhood rivals-to-lovers story becomes something far darker. As aspiring heroes grow into adults, they discover that the world rewards compromise and punishes those who refuse to bend. Betrayal, loss, and years of separation force them to confront a painful question: how much of yourself can you sacrifice before you become the very thing you swore to fight? Spanning years of love, grief, war, and survival, this series follows two stubborn souls struggling to find their way back to each other in a world determined to tear them apart.

This is a slow-burning book. It starts when you (y/n) are just six years old. This book is planned as a series; this is Volume One. There will be a sequel; the first book is them as teenagers and children; the next will be in early adulthood. I am now posting on Wattpad, so there are a few chapters behind, and I am copy-pasting it from another website, so there may be occasional repetitive paragraphs. Love you all -Kayama

You didn't come to his fight club for fame or glory- You came to bleed. To earn fast cash. To survive. Bakugo doesn't ask why. Not at first. He just lets you into the ring, watching you destroy yourself night after night like your body's a debt that has to be paid in full. You don't tell him the truth-that you're doing this to pay off someone dangerous. Someone you once loved. But Bakugo notices everything. The pain you hide. The way your hands shake when no one's looking. And the way your eyes never stay on him long enough to see that he cares. He tells you to stop fighting before it breaks you. You don't listen. You never meant to fall for him. You never meant to let him in. But when Bakugo finds out the truth-about Shindo, about the fear you've buried behind every bruise-he does the one thing you never expected. He steps into the ring for you. Because love isn't always soft. Sometimes, it hits hard. (I don't own the story. All rights go to the original creator. I just loved it so much, I wanted to share.)

"What did you say?" Bakugou's voice is threateningly low, it's starting to seem like they might fight. And by the looks of it, Shinso won't be winning. "I said that maybe you're so fucking obsessed with y/n, and that's why you're here. Maybe that's why you asked me to stop seeing her, or maybe you're just an idiot." You decide to step in, you don't want to see either of them angry. "Hey, Shinso you're better than that. We don't need to insult each other." He looks at you dumbfounded. "You're actually taking his side?" He gestures towards a smug-looking Bakugou. "No that's not it, I'm-" "Of course, she is, no matter who you are she will always come back to me. " You look at Bakugou as his arm slithers around your waist. What the fuck was he doing? Shinso glares at you, more at the hand resting there possessively. If looks could kill you would be six feet under right now. Bakugou continues: "You wanna know why she was late?" No, he wouldn't. "Bakugou, don't." He ignores your pleading to stop and you feel your face redden. You're ashamed. "She was screaming my name, she came all over me. She only came to you for sloppy seconds."

The feelings of hate and dispise only grow when they are forced to go in an undercover mission...as a couple. ⚠️Katsuki Bakugou x Fem!reader ⚠️Aged up! ⚠️Mature themes!

Being stuck in a fake relationship with Katsuki Bakugo was, unfortunately, the last thing you ever expected to happen. You had known Bakugo Katsuki your entire life. Before he was Dynamight, he was simply the boy you grew up with and the person you had once held feelings for. But now Katsuki Bakugo is only a ghost lingering in the background, someone you kept encountering because of your careers, your shared friends, and the world you both existed in. So when a single photograph brought the two pro-heroes of you back into the spotlight and forced you into a fake relationship with him, you couldn't help but wonder how you ended up pretending to be close to someone you had already lost once.
