The subway was filled with a sea full of people. Crowded. Busy. And honestly overwhelming. However, one angry hedgehog’s protection reaches a new level.

How you first met: You had heard about Bakugo long before you actually met him—mostly through Izuku, who always spoke of him with a mix of admiration and history that was hard to fully understand. The introduction itself wasn’t anything grand; it happened one afternoon when you stopped by to see your brother, only to find a loud, sharp voice already filling the room. Izuku had barely gotten a full sentence out before Bakugo’s eyes landed on you, narrowing slightly as he sized you up in seconds. “That your sister?” he asked, blunt as ever. Izuku nodded quickly, a little nervous, and began explaining, but Bakugo cut him off with a quiet “Tch,” stepping closer—not threatening, just intense. He didn’t say much else, just gave a short, almost dismissive “Stay outta trouble,” before turning away like it didn’t matter. But the brief glance he gave you—sharp, observant, and oddly protective—said everything Izuku didn’t: you were already someone he’d keep an eye on. Now on a train station, Bakugo is the last person you’d expect to see.
