Work Text:
well-renowned pro-hero, dynamight, rarely ever talks about his private life in public.
what hobbies does he have outside of saving citizens and showing off his power? what food does he like? what are his likes and dislikes? does he have a romantic partner?
whether it was in interviews, tv shows, or gatherings with his co-workers, he preferred to keep to himself. he tended to just get those things over with, really, immediately tidying up to go home when he’s done with patrolling or taking care of another feeble-brained villain that decided to run amok in the town he’s located in. big mistake.
bakugou didn’t like unnecessary attention. best believe he thrives when eyes are on him, but there’s exceptions.
he wasn’t new to the crowds of fans surrounding him and gushing over him constantly. when he’s outside on patrol, or he has to run an errand, or the thousands of messages stuck unread in his social media inboxes, which he doesn’t even use anymore because he didn’t really give a fuck about using them. he was just forced to create those accounts to stop denki and mina from constantly bugging him.
situations like those only made him want to go home more, adding to the exhaustion of work. his co-workers had questioned him at some point, wondering why he was always in such a rush to leave.
“i’m not gonna reprimand you or anything, but you always seem to be eager to go home. do you have a girlfriend, perhaps?” his senior asked, his voice gradually turning to a teasing tone towards the end.
the rest of the people in the locker room they were in had looked at their way in interest after hearing this, also wanting to know such an intriguing piece of information from a person that was a complete mystery outside of their work set-up. especially the popular, handsome, mr. bakugou katsuki.
bakugou raised an eyebrow. “the hell you care about it?”
ding! his phone screen lights up suddenly, a notification of a text message popping up.
fishing the device out, he scans over the message. in the process of reading it, his mouth starts to subtly curve upwards, the corners of his eyes crinkling slightly. his co-workers weren’t sure if they were seeing it right. should they get their eyesight checked?
bakugou was smiling. and, it wasn’t the menacing type he would wear at the face of villainy. it was barely there, but soft almost. weary, similar to a manner of a huge burden being lifted from his shoulders right after a long day.
he probably noticed the stares that were laser-focused on him, having shoved his phone in his pocket right away after sending a reply. bakugou pursed his lips again, and gave a quick nod of goodbye. “i’m off.”
and, away he went, leaving them in shock and confusion.

headlines: dynamight, the privy pro-hero, is spotted wearing an engagement ring!
the internet collapses. japan is in chaos. the fandom and conspiracy theorists are baffled. where did this come from?
what was bakugou katsuki doing with a ring on his finger? is someone capable of doing that at all? who was the lucky person that was deemed worthy of bakugou’s affection and commitment? everyone was dying to get the answers for the millions of questions they had for him.
bakugou only released a single sentence as his public statement. he hoped the message got across.
“i hope the ring speaks enough.”
it was no engagement ring, actually. bakugou just wanted it to be brief and loud.
