hello bakugou as a lead singer in an indie band like 5sos, a lot of the songs he writes for the band are reflective of the emotions he can’t say for himself— he speaks better through his music.
when the band first started and they were still just a bunch of dudes in his parents’ garage singing their hearts out— a lot of the songs were about love, gentle touches and late night drives with the person he loved the most. you were katsuki’s muse, the reason he put pen to paper and birthed song after song about the way your eyes shine when the sunlight hits them just right, how soft your skin is, the taste of your lips when you’re distracted.
you’re the centre of katsuki’s universe, the reason he makes music for the longest time.
but then the band blows up— bakugou, kirishima, sero and kaminari become a viral sensation almost overnight. the world screams katsuki’s name like they’ve known it his entire life, cheers for his band fill the space between his intake of breath and the lyrics he lets out to the world. the songs he wrote for you are no longer something you can cherish— they’re not about you anymore.
they’re for the people that pretend they know him, the fans that ask for the chicken scratch scrawl of his name against their chests or up their arms. bakugou’s dizzy with fame before he even realises, tapping into the Hollywood buzz and leaving you in the dust of their tour buss tires against the roads of new cities you’ve never been to. ones that you planned to visit together once the blonde got big and famous just like this — before he forget the one who’d been standing behind him this entire time.
you tell katsuki that you can’t be his muse anymore, right before the last show of his tour — you tell him you won’t be left alone, to break into pieces while he lives out his dreams and forgets the ones you had together. he clutches the phone so tight it might break, he hears the tears and the shakiness to your voice and bakugou realises a little too late that he’s loosing you. his inspiration, his reason for having everything that he does now.
the blonde doesn’t see you in the crowd that night, up in front row cheering his name while he sings his heart out for you under stage lights. bakugou feels numb, the lovesick songs on his tongue making him feel nauseous as his heart sinks in his chest— you’re gone.
bakugou doesn’t write songs about love anymore, not without his muse. instead he etches his pain and his heartache into the music his fans adore and hopes that somewhere out there— you catch the hidden message.
that one that tells you he misses you.
