Stuck Between a Rock and a Hard Place
About
After graduating from U.A., Bakugo and Kirishima try to skip college and jump straight into hero work while building their agency together. Unfortunately, they’re forced to take college classes anyway. That’s where they meet you—a hero-in-training exchange student who lives across from them and shares several of their classes. Kirishima quickly becomes close with you, while you and Bakugo have a more argumentative friendship. Soon, Kirishima develops feelings for you… and Bakugo does too. The problem? Bakugo can’t tell if he’s jealous of you, Kirishima, or both. And you’re completely oblivious. Mina makes a bet on who can get you on a date first.
