A Spy Among Them (ShinsoxBakugoxDabixAizawaxReader and more..)

Ch. 85 Dinner at Aizawa's

Pressed this close to Katsuki, I could feel a low growl starting to form in his chest.

This was not good.

"Right about what, asshole?"

For a moment, no one said anything, the three of us motionless in the hallway.

"I said, right about what?" Katsuki asked again. "Or are you too scared to say it to y/n again now that I'm here?"

"Is this what you want, y/n? Is he what you want?" Shinso said, his voice full of disgust. 

Katsuki didn't move and I didn't answer. I knew better than to answer any of Shinso's questions right now.

I was fairly certain that he wouldn't use his quirk on me, but then again I was so confused by the way he was acting that I didn't know anything for sure any more.

"Maybe your meathead brain isn't comprehending the situation, Bakugo, but for the hundredth time, stay out of our relationship. Or are you too dumb to understand that?"

The growl was becoming louder.

Shinso kept at it. "Were you just hanging around down here waiting for your chance to swoop in? Do you really think she likes you, Bakugo?"

"Or could ever like you?" Shinso continued to ask. "She's using you like she apparently uses everyone. And besides, how could she ever like some short, angry..."

"Katsuki, don't answer him," I whispered, fearful for where this was going.

"...Brainless, weak..."

Katsuki's whole body was tense, clenched tightly around me.

"Please don't respond," I begged. "No matter what he asks."

"I know, dumbass," he whispered.

I needed to diffuse this situation before it got even more out of hand and all of us got in trouble.

"Shinso," I said, maneuvering out of Katsuki's arms. "I think we're all just really tired. I think everyone should just go back to their rooms."

"I'm going to the gym."

I shot Katsuki a glare. Dude, get the hint.

"Fine, go wherever," I said, "but let's just talk later. Okay?"

"What's going on out here, guys?" a messy head of red hair asked as he stepped into the hallway, also dressed for the gym. Rubbing his eyes to wake up, he glanced up and down the hallway at the three of us.

I had a feeling Kirishima wished that he had just stayed in bed.

"It's all good, Kiri," I said, trying to be as calm as possible.

"Okay..." he said hesitantly. He seemed to pick up on the tension pretty quickly. "Bakugo, you still have my water bottle that you took by mistake, right? Can you and I look for it in your room? Like... right now?" Kirishima's eyes were wide, obviously hoping that Bakugo understood that he was trying to get him out of the hallway and end this stand off.

Katsuki grunted in response, taking a last look at Shinso and I before walking back into his room, Kirishima following him.

The standoff was over.

I breathed a big sigh of relief and then met eyes with Shinso who stared at me from down the hallway. I'm not sure what I was expecting, but whatever it was, I didn't get it. He just seemed sad.

Without saying a word he turned around to go back up the stairs.

Once in my room, I flopped face first on my bed. What a night.
