"Hi! I'm Utsushimi Camie! I'll be a part of your team as a representative from Shiketsu company!" A beautiful fawn-haired woman said. Her eyes landed on you and you could've sworn you saw the immediate change of her demeanor.

All throughout the day, Camie was visibly flirting with you, the rest of the team could see that, but you were quite oblivious with this.

The last time you thought someone was flirting with you was when they were just seeing you as a brother figure. You ultimately embarrassed yourself when you told them you weren't into romantic relationships and ended up getting brother-zoned instead.

But nonetheless, Camie performed well in the needed tasks for the team. She was carefree but she was intelligent, creative even.

"I heard there's a gym here, Y/N. Care to show me around?" Camie says as the meeting for today's project ended. You nodded, you were heading there to workout anyway.

Bag slung on your shoulder, you and Camie entered the gym, greeted with the smell of sweat, metal, and sometimes paint.

You scanned your I.D., producing a beeping sound and Katsuki glanced over and saw you.

Who's she? Katsuki could definitely see Camie's flirtatious vibe around her, and she purposefully bumps her shoulder on your side as you help her with the application form.

Camie says she also wanted a membership like yours, even if it was just for a few weeks or months in her stay here.

Your eye slightly twitched when the available trainer for Camie was none other than Katsuki.

"What happened to Hagakure?" You asked Sekijiro.

You were more comfortable with her training with Katsuki than Camie.

"Ah, that girl. She canceled her plan with Katsuki and just settled with the normal membership in the gym." Sekijiro explained.

Camie didn't bring any workout clothes so she settled on starting tomorrow. "Can I meet my trainer?" She asked and your mind immediately answered 'no'.

"Of course! Bakugo!"

Don't come here don't come here don't come here don't come here

"What?" Katsuki says with crossed arms. His biceps flexed unintentionally.

"Wow, you're so hot!" Camie immediately says, beaming. Your eyes widened as well as Katsuki's while Sekijiro only laughed.

If you were such an asshole you would've pushed Camie away from Katsuki.

"Huh?!" Katsuki says with an irritated expression.

"Now now, Katsuki. She's your new client starting tomorrow, be nice to her." Sekijiro says, stressing the word 'nice' which irritated Katsuki even more.

Sekijiro left to handle some things in his office.

"Say, do you have a girlfriend? Or a boyfriend? I don't judge." Camie flirtatiously said as she clings on to Katsuki.

You could feel a visible tick mark on your forehead right now.

As Camie asked, Katsuki's gaze unconsciously went to you and this didn't go unnoticed by Camie. She inwardly hummed in amusement.

"Silence means yes!" She cheers. She let go of Katsuki and went back to stand next to you, which was undesirably close for Katsuki's liking.

"See you tomorrow, Y/N!" Camie says and gives you a side-hug. She waves at the both of you and leaves the gym.

What shocked Katsuki was how she casually said your first name and you were even chill about it.

And what shocked you was how she casually clung so close to Katsuki and he didn't even brush her off.

The both of you weren't in a good mood. In fact, you didn't even feel like talking to Katsuki. But that would be a dick move for you and you weren't one. You cleared your throat and glanced at Katsuki who was frowning.

"I'll give you a ride later." You said.

"Nah, I'll be hanging out at Kirishima's tonight." Katsuki said. It was kind of true, there was a planned boys' night-out at Kirishima's place with Denki, Katsuki declined but by the looks of it, he might have to go now.

"I see." You said. Gladly for you, you probably couldn't bring yourself to talk to him properly, much more, hold a proper conversation with him.

Your sudden motivation to workout was gone too. You turn around to scan your I.D. again.

"You're not working out?" Katsuki asked, trying to hide the disappointment in his tone.

You faced him properly. "Yes. The new project today was quite tiring and we need to come here early tomorrow."

Katsuki slowly nods. "Aight." He says. You nodded and turned your heel to exit the gym.

Katsuki was still standing there. He was waiting for you to say something. Anything to calm his frantic nerves.

Say something, you stupid four eyes!

You stopped, your hand on the handle. You look at Katsuki over your shoulder.

"I'll see you tomorrow." You said and finally left.

Katsuki let out a breath he didn't know he held. He felt so relieved and he didn't know why.

Katsuki continued coaching. Then he realized he couldn't find Kirishima anywhere.

He excused himself from his client and went to ask Sekijiro. "Kirishima? He asked for an early leave." Sekijiro said.

He immediately went to his bag in the changing room to call Kirishima. "Where the fuck are you?!" Katsuki asked.

"Oh? Katsuki! I'm at home with Denki, why?"

Oh. Katsuki told them he wouldn't go over at Kirishima's and he didn't get the chance to tell Kirishima that he changed his plan.

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I'd leave early since you were talking with L/N and that other girl."

Katsuki felt himself getting mad again when he remembered how she called you by your first name and kept on standing so dangerously close to you.

"You wanna join?-"

"No. I'm hanging up." Katsuki says and puts his phone back in the bag.

Looks like someone's taking a cab home.

After Katsuki closed the gym, he begrudgingly walked to the elevator, sighing all the while. His thoughts keep coming back to the fawn-haired girl who was obviously flirting with you. He couldn't get it off his mind.

He steps out of the building, waiting for a cab when a familiar car stopped right in-front of him.

Katsuki's eyes widened as the windows rolled down.

"I'll take you home." You said. Katsuki choked on his words trying to figure out why the fuck were you still here.

"Get inside and I'll tell you." You said.

"No, I'll just take a cab." Katsuki stubbornly said.

"You should accept help when help is offered, Bakugo." You said, stealing his line.

"Tch." Katsuki reluctantly opened the door and got in. You began driving to his place.

"I saw Kirishima going out of the gym. I knew you were going to lie the moment you declined my offer." You said.

"And? You waited here for an hour? Are you sick in the head?"

"I don't mind."

Katsuki stared at you in complete shock. "Something's really wrong with you." Katsuki muttered and faced the front.

I know, and I want to put a name with what I'm feeling when I'm around you. You thought.

Silence fell and no one knew what to say.

Katsuki decided to bring up that topic. "You have another girl clinging to you, huh?"

"Camie?" You asked.

Is that her first name? No fucking way, they're on first name basis? Katsuki unbelievably thought.

"Yeah or whatever her name is. But I'm not surprised. You're..." Fuck. Katsuki couldn't bring himself to say you were hot as hell.

For at least 3 months your body changed drastically. Your muscles got more defined and you grew taller as well.

"I'm what, Bakugo?" You queried.

"Nothing." He answered and looked away.

You hummed. "I think you've got it all wrong. She seems to like you a lot, she even called you 'hot'."

"No! She doesn't..." Katsuki stammered.

"Hm? She's right. So, there's no doubt why she'd like you." You sincerely said.

Katsuki's jaw dropped. He found it so shocking that you just casually complimented him, although indirect but still.

But why were you saying that? It was obvious that Camie was flirting with you.

And why would Katsuki deny? It was obvious that Camie was flirting with him.

The both of you were obviously oblivious.

You arrived outside his apartment, pressing the button at your side of the door to unlock all doors.

"Goodnight, Bakugo."

Katsuki didn't like the name you're calling him anymore. He wanted you to call him by his first name. He was beginning to feel selfish.

"Bakugo?" You called when you noticed that Katsuki was deep in thought.

"Thanks..." Katsuki mumbled.

"Y/N."

Your eyes briefly widen. Then ever so lightly, the corner of your lips tug up to form a genuine smile. Oh God, Katsuki could stare at you forever with that smile on your face.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Katsuki."
