how were you ever a stranger?

Katsuki turns toward him, only notes his name because it’s written in Sharpie on the guy’s cup. What a nerd. A cute one though, Katsuki thinks.

“Mommy taught you to write your name on what’s yours?” he teases, “Now you're something I'd like to put my name on.”

Shouto looks up, startled. His pretty dual-colored eyes widen and Katsuki steps closer.

“There was a Sharpie,” Shouto says but it sounds more like a question.

Katsuki laughs, “I’m sure, pretty boy.” Shouto’s cheeks flush slightly and Katsuki grins, “You new here, never seen ya before.”

Shouto looks defensive, “Well, you just uh don’t remember me.”

Katsuki clicks his tongue, leaning in to meet Shouto’s eyes at the shorter boy’s height, “Right, well. I think I’d remember you, princess.”

or: Katsuki Bakugou spots Shouto Todoroki at a party, flirts (rather meanly), and the rest is history.
