It Hurt.
It made his damn blood boil every time Roundface looked his way. That damn Deku was so sickly sweet,
that the hard-working Roundfaced Ochako had fallen head over heals for him, like an overcooked over-frosted cinnamon roll.
That tournament had ignited something deep within him, Bakugo found his gaze lingering on round-face, he admired Ochako.
The reasons she fought so hard were different from his own, sure, but she fought her damned hardest to be a hero.
Deku didn't see her eyes light up as she dodged his attacks, or how they glinted with mischief as she dropped the wreckage of the arena on his head. But that Damn Deku looked down his nose at her, feigning respect, and it fucking drove him nuts.
He watched the two, his brow furrowing as Ochako's eyes passed him over and instead fell on the wishy-washy bush haired scrub behind him.
He leaned back in his seat, putting on a feigned look of indifference. He watched, and waited, someone as straightforward as Round-face would soon enough see through the Wishy-Washy stance Deku took... Wouldn't she? Deku wanted to be a Hero just because it was right, but how the hell could he be a hero without the balls to make a hard call? If Deku was to be a hero, he'd know what he wanted; like becoming a hero, and just TAKE IT. And yet, Deku continued to dance around Ochako's nervous flirting, responding with halfhearted flirting of his own. And so, they continued to just talk, and stare.
He was getting real damn sick of it, considering the way his stomach churned and broiled. He knew he wasn't the only one suffering, Frog-Face was giving the two looks as well; Sad ones as far as he could tell. He grit his teeth, his boiling point finally reached.
"Dammit, just get a room you two!"
His balls had gotten him into trouble, of course. Instead of getting him who he wanted, he had probably driven an even bigger wedge between them than his temper did. He snorted, a sad frown crossing his features. His balls weren't big enough, he couldn't speak up or take what he said back,
And Damn, it hurt.
