The Many Lives of Bakugou-Sensei

Summary:

“I heard that Sugimoto-chan was gonna give Bakugou-Sensei a love letter on Valentines day!”

“No way! Bakugou-sensei has a wife, I asked! He said he eloped when he was 17 to marry her.”

“What?? You must be thinking of someone else, he told my older sister that he wasn’t married. He lives alone with two dogs and six cats! Never thought of him as a cat person, it’s weird right?”

“No, I heard him telling Kimura-kun that he was gay and had a boyfriend.”

“I literally just saw an article naming him as one of Japan’s hottest bachelors, he’s single!”

Bakugou chuckled discreetly at his desk.

-

Or: Bakugou tells each of his students something different (and completely untrue) about his personal life, just to mess with them. Until it all comes to a head when his idiot husband ruins his fun by showing up during a class.

Work Text:

“I heard that Sugimoto-chan was gonna give Bakugou-Sensei a love letter on Valentines day!”

 

“No way! Bakugou-sensei has a wife, I asked! He said he eloped when he was 17 to marry her.”

 

“What?? You must be thinking of someone else, he told my older sister that he wasn’t married. He lives alone with two dogs and six cats! Never thought of him as a cat person, it’s weird right?”

 

“No, I heard him telling Kimura-kun that he was gay and had a boyfriend.”

 

“I literally just saw an article naming him as one of Japan’s hottest bachelors, he’s single!”

 

Bakugou chuckled discreetly at his desk. His students thought he never listened in on their conversations, but they always talked about the most bizarre things, he couldn’t help but be interested sometimes. He would never admit it, though. 

 

When he first got this teaching job, it was after he’d been a hero for quite a few years, when he got a really bad injury and couldn’t stand being home and doing nothing for months. He didn’t even apply, he just called Nedzu and demanded a job, and got one pretty quickly. His first few students thought he was way too unapproachable to ask questions, but as they got more comfortable and he got a bit softer with them, they started to ask about his personal life. At first, he just said it was none of their business and changed the subject. After all, while gay marriage had finally been legalized in Japan, it was still pretty widely frowned upon, and there was no way he would allow his students to lose any respect for him.

 

But after a while...he started to have some fun with it. A student came up to him right before lunch one day and offered him a bento that she’d made, hiding her blush poorly. He pulled out his own bento (that he had made himself that morning) and apologized, insisting that his wife had already made him one that morning. The girl looked surprised for a second before her shoulders slumped and she walked out. He chuckled to himself, realizing how much fun it could be, if he told every student something different about his personal life. 

 

A few weeks later, a group of male students came up to him and asked what his wife looked like. They had heard it from the girl and wanted to know for themselves. 

 

He had looked at them with a quirked brow. “Wife? I don’t have a wife, she must have misheard me. I only have a few dogs at home, tell her to get her facts straight.”

 

Things continued similarly for years, with students asking questions every once in a while and him giving completely different answers each time. Some students thought he was single and would never be married, some thought he lived 2 hours away with his 17 reptilian pets, others thought he had two girlfriends and was cheating on one, another thought he was a single father of 3 kids, the list went on and on. 

 

It was hilarious, watching them argue about what his home life actually was, when none of them knew the truth. Of course, it was nothing exciting. Being married to the quirkless vigilante Deku was pretty chill, especially when they’d known each other their whole lives. He lived maybe 20 minutes away from UA, in a nice condo with Deku and his golden retriever, Hanabi. 

 

He stood up from his chair, ending the chatter of his students immediately as he started the lesson. Sometimes, he thought of just telling the truth, but every time that thought crossed his mind, a group of students arguing about his life and not a single one of them being correct made his day and quickly shifted that thinking. He couldn’t wait for the look on all of their faces if they ever found out the truth.

Valentine’s Day came up quickly, much too quickly than Bakugou wished. It was always right at the beginning of the school year, so it wasn’t even like he knew the kids enough to shut them down easily. (He would never admit that he does try not to hurt their feelings. He loves kids and always feels bad when one of them is upset because of him.) So here comes Sugimoto-chan that the kids were talking about last week, a pink letter that was sealed with a heart sticker in hand. He sighed and prepared himself for the upcoming conversation. These things never got any less awkward, even if it did open up an opportunity for him to tell another lie about his life.

 

“B-Bakugou-sensei,” she started. Here we go. “Please accept this letter of my feelings! I’ve admired you since you debuted, since your quirk is just so cool and flashy! But you’re even better in person, and I know it might be a little weird coming from a student, but I really think we could-”

 

“Sugimoto.”

 

“Yes, Sensei?”

 

“You and I both know I can’t accept this.” He said, hating the way her face fell into a deep frown.

 

She pulled the letter back into her chest. “Are...are you sure? I really think it could work out if we tried to-”

 

Bakugou’s heavy sigh interrupted her. “Even if I wanted to date you, which I absolutely do not, I’m old enough to be your father, kid,” her eyes widened and then she blushed, “I have a girlfriend.” He didn’t even want to know what she was imagining when he said that first bit.

 

“A girlfriend? Tanaka-kun said you were single, though!”

 

“He must have heard me wrong, I never said that bullshit.” Bakugou scoffed and leaned back in his chair. He had definitely said that bullshit. 

 

“He also said...ah, nevermind,” she stopped herself and made to turn around and leave.

 

Bakugou cleared his throat, effectively stopping her in her tracks. “Tanaka said what about me?”

 

She gulped and then shook her head. “He said you were gay, but if you have a girlfriend I guess it’s not true. Anyways, I’ll go now. Thanks for listening to me.” She turned around and left the room quickly.

 

Bakugou broke into a fit of laughter after he couldn’t hear her footsteps in the hallway anymore. He didn’t think he would ever get tired of doing this. He got his phone out to text the squad group chat about it, he had always told them whenever he tricked a student, and they even gave him new stories to tell when he could. They all responded with their own bouts of laughter and responses. After they had all responded, the conversation somehow shifted into Kaminari telling everyone about his younger sister getting into a fight at her school, so Bakugou put the chat on Do not Disturb before locking his phone and getting out papers to grade until lunch was over.

When his class came back from lunch, it was time for general hero training. He had a tournament set up, randomly assigned spars would go on and everyone else would watch and take notes on how the fight went down. It was similar to the sports festival, but with much lower stakes and a slightly more relaxed environment, at least as relaxed as class could get with Bakugou running it. 

 

The first few fights went well, and he only had to yell at a few kids for not taking notes. He hadn’t needed to interject yet, but he kept his eyes mostly on the fighters, especially since this class had been particularly aggressive for some reason, and a few of them tended to get carried away in fights, much like himself as a student. 

 

As the fight ended on a pretty peaceful note since one of the students didn’t really have much of a fighting quirk, Bakugou gave some notes to the one who lost, telling them to work on getting up their physical strength if they wanted to make it in his class. While his expulsion count was nowhere near that of Aizawa’s, he was still not afraid to make the necessary cuts to make everyone be successful, and he didn’t want to have to expel this kid. He had good potential to use his quirk as a fighting one, but he never put in the effort to do that analysis, so he stayed weak. 

 

As he was talking to the kid, the next two in the bracket went up to the field. Both were giggling uncontrollably, which distracted Bakugou as he finished up giving the kid advice. He looked over, ready to tell them off for not taking it seriously when he caught a flash of green as they started sparring without his permission. 

 

There was green all over the place, as someone who was most definitely not in one of the school uniforms was sparring with his student as they laughed up a storm. Bakugou felt his cheeks heat up as he watched his husband spar, he didn’t really get to watch him in action much anymore since his fights didn’t generally get televised. He did, however, not know what to say at all as he watched. 

 

He opted for a yell, as in usual Bakugou fashion. “Deku!” The fighting stopped as soon as the word left his mouth and Deku beamed at him with a cheeky smile. “What the hell are you doing to my students?” 

 

Deku cracked his knuckles and he and the kid shared smiles as they jogged over to the fuming Bakugou. “Ah, why so dramatic, Kacchan? I wanted to surprise you for Valentine’s day!” He said, eliciting gasps from every student in class. There were murmurs of “Kacchan!?” and “Valentine’s Day?” that erupted immediately, loud chatter cutting off as soon as Bakugou sent a glare across the field. 

 

“Y’know, class ends in barely an hour. Could you not have waited at all, you damn impatient bastard?” Bakugou said, crossing his arms over his chest.

 

Deku pouted. “But Kacchan ! School lasts like a million years, I didn’t feel like waiting until you got home to talk to you,” He said. “Plus, I like embarrassing you in front of your students. You’re blushing so hard right now, it’s adorable.” He wrapped his arms around Bakugou’s waist, much to the teacher’s chagrin. 

 

“Shut up, nerd! I’m not blushing!” Bakugou could feel his face heating up even more as the children snickered, talking quietly amongst themselves on who they guessed this stranger was. 

 

“Whatever you say, Kacchan.”

 

Bakugou pushed Deku away by his forehead, stepping back to keep him at arms length as Deku struggled to reach him, arms shorter than the distance between them. 

 

Anyways , this is my stupid husband Deku-”

 

“Kacchan I literally beat Nezu at his own tests in high school.”

 

“Shut up, anyways he’s annoying and was not supposed to come in today, why did you guys even let him in ?”

 

The student who had started sparring with him burst into laughter. “I’m, like, obsessed with his fights. I knew he wouldn’t cause any actual harm, he’s like 160 centimeters tall. What would he do, bite your legs?” Deku stopped struggling against Bakugou to stare open-mouthed at the student. 

 

“I was very much winning that spar until Kacchan interrupted us, I could beat your ass if I wanted! And I’m 166 centimeters, thank you very much.” He playfully glared at the student until they both burst into giggles again. 

 

Another student raised their hand. “Wait, so you don’t have a wife?”

 

“Yeah, you told me you were single!”

 

The girl from earlier piped up. “You literally told me today that you have a girlfriend!”

 

“Kacchan! I thought I told you to stop lying to the students about me!” Deku whacked his arm lightly. “Tell them the truth.”

 

“Damn, you’re ruthless,” Bakugou murmured. “Whatever, I would never have any girlfriend, girls are disgusting. Deku is my husband, and if you give me any shit about it, I’ll expel you on the spot, you little shits.”

 

“Once again, what a drama queen.” Deku sighed, dramatically, just to prove the point. “There are a million better ways to tell people you’re gay.” 

 

“And there are a million ways for me to pummel you into the ground right now. Anyways , if I could get on with my lesson, that would be great.”

 

“Ooo, can I give them quirk advice at the end of class?”

 

“Knock yourself out.”

 

Deku practically squealed in excitement, hugging Bakugou again and giving him a quick kiss on the nose before he sat down on the grass and got out his notebook from his jacket, ready to take notes. 

 

Bakugou couldn’t help but smile at his husband’s antics, only to quickly wipe it off his face when he heard some students giggling about him being “whipped” or something. What was he to do, when his adorable, no longer secret husband was sitting right there being all cute? He has a reputation to uphold!

 

“Alright, now will the students who didn’t waste my time go up for the next match?”

 

“Kacchan! Don’t be mean!”
