First “I love you”s with the BNHA Boys
Bakugo, Shinso, Kirishima
Summary: How I think some of my favs would say their first ily and when it would be in the relationship. Pretty much first major confession stories...
A/N: So sorry for inactivity. I always get way too carried away with these sorts of headcanons... Let me know if you guys want a part two with maybe some pro heroes, villains, or maybe more students??

Bakugo:
Yeah, Bakugo sucks at words
Bakugo said his quite far into the relationship, let’s be real
To begin with, his love language was actions, not words
So when he realised that he needed to say it at some point or you may get upset with him, he panicked
I’m sure you were incredibly accepting of his form of affection, slightly aggressive or not, that you weren't pressing for him to say it
You knew he would be uncomfortable with it, so you make it your mission to say it to him first
That way he could feel either relieved that you said first, confident enough to say it himself when he was ready, or let it out at the same time
Spoiler: it was the latter
You both blurted it out together
The two of you were in a fight, nothing unusual
However, it wasn’t one of the playful ones that more commonly end with you giggling and pleading for his mercy as he tickled you
You’d never yell in those sorts of fights, and neither would he
But this one was serious
The points and arguments attacking each other were incredibly personal, but both sides were very unselfish
For example, you said: “Your inferiority complex is what makes you this way and you’re gonna push yourself too hard one day!”
To which he’d reply with: “Look at you, if you want to play hero let me do what I want and focus on yourself. Don’t waste your time on me when I’m perfectly fine”
You get the idea
All you wanted was for him to look after himself
Once you believed the fight was incredibly stupid, you stormed off
Bakugo of course tried to catch up with you only for you to slam a door in his face, which you instantly regretted
It took you a good half an hour to open the door again
Bakugo stood up immediately at the sight of your puffy eyes
He felt awful
But the three words came out as follows:
“Katsuki... I’m sorry”
“No, I am”
“Katsu, please, you know that I get worked up”
“And I do too”
There was a pause, neither of you knowing who would speak first
That’s when you spoke at the same time
“I only said what I said because I love you and care about you”
“I almost pushed you away because I love you so much, dumbass”
“What did you say?”
“Huh”
You got him to repeat himself, and he mumbled it shyly
You awed, hurrying up to him to pull him tightly into your chest and reassured him softly
He was too shocked to get emotional or cry
He was mainly relieved that you said it too, because as soon as that fight picked up, he was afraid you didn’t
Now that it was off his chest, he was relieved
And knowing everything that you did was because you loved him back made him feel so much better
But he made sure that you both said it often enough to avoid doubt

Shinso:
My soft purple boy...
He knew he loved you instantly, much like most of the boys on this list
He had finally found someone with similar interests as him, same sense of humour, same goals, and loved cats too
Best of all, you never assumed anything because of his quirk
And with Shinso’s childhood, encountering someone who thought nothing like those other kids, he wanted to hold onto you forever
You feeling safe around him wasn’t something that grew over time after meeting him
It was instantaneous
You had introduced yourself to him and he cocked an eyebrow at you
“Aren’t you scared?”
“Scared? Why would I be scared?”
“Don’t you know I’m the kid with the brainwash quirk that everyone says to ‘beware’?”
“Oh, yeah. I knew”
“Then why did you approach me?”
“I don’t know, I thought your quirk was actually really cool and wanted to know why your in the general department and not in the hero department”
That was the first time he had ever heard someone talk about his quirk in such a way
He’d be lying if he said that he didn’t fall in love instantly as you took a seat next to him and began ranting about how rigged the entrance exam was
I didn’t mean to get into a whole backstory so lets hurry with the confession:
You two weren’t even dating yet when he said it
And it wasn’t even that far into your friendship that he let it slip
The two of you had stopped into a cat cafe on the way home from UA
You had already finished eating and were busy playing with the numerous cats surrounding your table
After all, Shinso was a cat magnet
You cooed at a kitten in your lap, talking to it in your baby voice
Shinso sat across from you, chin resting in his hand smiling fondly to himself
The fact that he loved you was so apparent to him that he almost forgot that you didn’t know
For some reason, he had forgotten that you really couldn’t read his mind, even though you were so similar to him
At this point, your teasing but genuine affection had made Shinso forget that you weren't dating
Being around each other was so comfortable
He never had been so blessed
While you played with the cat, he sighed
“Damn... I love you...”
“:0”
“:|”
The boy had the audacity to clear his throat and pretend he didn’t say it, like it was a ghost or something that had whispered it so softly and meaningfully in a voice that sounded just like his voice..?
Of course you knew it was him
“Do you mean it?”
“Mean what?”
“>:[”
“Yes?”
“This is so sudden... I mean we’re not even dating? Do I say it back now? How long have you felt this way? Do I have to meet your parents now? Wait, do you even want a relationship? No-”
Shinso leaned over the table and placed his hand over your mouth to hush you
“It was an accident, okay? I didn’t mean to say it so soon”
You peel his large hand off your mouth
“No, it’s fine... I’m kind of relieved...”
“Why’s that?”
“I was going to ask you out after this... and I didn’t know if you’d say yes”
You laughed nervously, turning back to the cat and avoided Shinso’s eyes
Let’s just say that he definitely said yes and that spot in the cat cafe became his favourite place ever
You said that you loved him right after he agreed to date you

Kirishima:
Kiri! Kiri! Kiri! Kiri!
Words are 100% his thing!
In fact, after you started dating, he couldn’t wait to say it!
He would have said it as soon as you agreed to date him if it wasn’t for his plan that he had come up with as soon as he realised he had a crush on you
This plan of his consisted of him confessing that he loves you after a long date that ended with you two stargazing on a hill with candles and sandwiches and blankets and-
Argh, it was going to be perfect!
Originally, he intended jump right into it and ask you to hang out then take you to the arcade, then to lunch, then the festival, then across the lake, then to the park as friends!
Denki thought it was stupid that he’d go through all that effort without knowing if you even liked him back!
So, with Denki’s “experience”, he instructed Kirishima on a new 20 step plan in order to say it at the right moment
Kiri, being so lovestruck, he could only listen to him
The first date he asked you on was a simple study date
According to Denki’s plan, Kiri was to take baby steps in order to build up to a date of that magnitude
With Kirishima being the sunshine boy he is, every date was a blast (even the study one)
As it came to the completion of the 20 step plan, Kiri began to grow nervous
Remember how I said words are 100% his thing?
Well, at least they were
Before the big day at least
He was incredible fidgety the entire time, from when you got to the arcade to when you hopped onto the boat to cross the lake
You weren’t stupid, you noticed how his laughter faded out quickly as how he avoided your eyes more often than not
It caused you to get a bit anxious yourself, making the boat ride over to the park incredibly awkward
You usually relied on him to bounce back on, but now...
Why was he even anxious? The date had gone perfectly!
You looked like you had enjoyed yourself, so why was he questioning if you would love him back?
Nonetheless, he led you to the exactly place on the hill he had planned it to happen three months ago
You rolled out the picnic blanket, lit the candles, ate the sandwiches and waited for the sun to go down
The temperature dropped, causing you to shiver, just like Kiri planned
So he took out the blanket and wrapped it around your shoulders, much more awkwardly than he had watched on repeat in his head for months
But you took it with a smile, and he loosened up a bit
When it became dark enough for you to see the stars, you lay down on wrapped in the blanket
Your eyes were filled with wonder as you found yourself absent-mindedly telling Kiri about the different stars
That’s when Kiri found his hand itching for the speech that he stashed into his pocket after rewriting it over and over again
He was sure he had formulated his words right
But at that moment, seeing you just as he had dreamed in this perfect moment, but only more beautiful, he realised it would never go as he planned
“And I think that one is Sirius. It’s got to be the brightest star”
“Y/N”
“Yes?”
“I want to tell you something”
You’re heart dropped
“What is it?”
“I’m so in love with you, you have no idea. Ever since I met you, I thought you were incredible and beautiful... It’s not very manly for me to admit this but... I have literally dreamed of this moment. But none of my dreams could have never prepared me for this. I love you, Y/N, and it’s okay if you don’t love me back”
“Oh thank goodness, I’m so glad that was what you wanted to say”
“Huh?”
“I noticed how fidgety you were and I feared the worst if I’m honest!”
“Oh, no I didn’t want to make you feel that way! I was just nervous that you wouldn’t accept my confession...”
“Of course I do! I love you too!”
He was so relieved, and never regretted the way the confession when down
Since he recovered from his initial nerves, he’d say it constantly and you’d always laugh and reciprocate his words
