Dumbass || Bakugo Katsuki ||✔

Chapter 9

"Girl, what took so long?"

My jaw dropped to see almost everyone in front of the bus station. Mina playing rock paper scissors with Kirishima and Sero, Ochaco, Momo, Todoroki and Midoriya talking about some shit only a scientist could understand. Lastly, Iida and Denki pissing Bakugo off.

"Just went to check on stuff at home y'know?" I smiled, turning to Bakugo who was for some reason silent. "And what made you come, pomeranian?"

His frown deepened and he burst out listing reasons about how and why he wasn't a pomeranian. "FINE SHALL I GO HOME THEN?!" He stormed off. I grabbed the back of his collar and dragged him onto the bus that had just arrived.

As I predicted, he chose his seat right next to the window and I sat with him, my arm over his shoulders. He twitched at first but relaxed a little.

In fact, I was a bit taken back when he didn't shove me off of him. The laughter and conversations I heard from my classmates assured me that they were too distracted to hear anything I'd say.

I leaned into Bakugo's ear and whispered, "Can you come with me to the manga shop... I need recommendations- aH!" He suddenly elbowed my stomach, I hunched over to comfort my poor belly.

"What if they heard you?! Damn dumbass!" He shouted in a hushed tone. My stomach throbbed. Why did he use so much power?!

"Ahhh, it hurts so much." I exaggerated, trying to get some sympathy from him.

"Karasu, are you okay?" Todoroki asked, he held onto a pole connected to me and Bakugo's seats rather than sitting down.

"Yeah... thanks." I smiled politely. This was the first time I've heard him speak other than in class or with Midoriya. A look of serenity and peace on that scarred face of his.

He had the aura of a wise old man, one who's words had meaning in every single sentence.
All I could assume was something happened to him that forever changed who he was.

I mean, all humans go through a phase that changes them, but the one he had to deal with must have been horrid!
A vivid purple flaming around his soul, I was starstruck by the sight.

So much so that I hadn't noticed the amount of time I spent staring at him. I doubt he noticed, he was glowering outside the window the whole bus ride.

When we got off, the whole group was ahead of Bakugo and I. The guy walks like he has a stick up his butt of course we were behind.

"Bakugo come on, let's get boba and then we can both go manga shopping." I jumped in front of him and skipped backwards facing him.

"Watch how you fall on that thick head of yours. Tch." He fastened his steps, making it seem like he was avoiding me.
I wouldn't allow it, I was consistently on his trail, either behind him or next to him.

The group split up after getting our boba and we agreed to meet up at the icecream shop later.

"Bakugo, you promised!" I whined, the two of us were alone since Kirishima and Denki left for the gaming centre.

"I didn't promise you shit." He grunted, glaring into space like there were ghosts only he could see. "Come on! I'll even buy you something~ take your pick just come with me!"

Hope lit my face up when I noticed his gaze averted onto me curiously. "Anything?" He smirked.

"Anything." I grinned. Feeling a little bit sketched out.

When we arrived I instantly dragged him to the shoujo manga section, asking questions on which ones he liked best.

Surprisingly, he's read more than I have. I've only ever gotten ten of them, he has a whole four shelves full of them.

"And that one." He chose four for me, telling me about how I'd enjoy it because they were as cheesy as I was. I did get offended but I kept it in case he'd leave the book shop.

"And now... for your shitty reward, what do you want?"

That very same smug look made its way on his face. Tilting his head back, he let out a small laugh dramatically.

"I want you to leave me alone."

...

What the-

"Bakugo don't be a dick, let's go catch up with Denki and Kiri." I abruptly draped my arm over his shoulder, forcing him down to my height.

There wasn't much of a height difference, I was somewhat up to his chin.

My eyes scanned the huge mall, loving the design and shops I rarely got to see. But a part of me was still puzzled.

"Do you really want to be left alone?" I felt his heavy stare fall onto me again.

Silence, not a response to be heard. I sighed, I can't blame him, it's only been a week since I joined and I've already made friends with almost the whole class.

Shouldn't that be enough for me? It's somewhat toxic of me to try and get Bakugo to smile when he clearly doesn't want to.

I let go of him and walked ahead into the gaming shop, finding Kirishima and Denki by the consoles.

Still, this doesn't mean I've given up. I now have four goals.

Help dad get some sleep. Get Bakugo to feel better about himself, find out why Midoriya seemed so secretive and glum and then become stronger.

That's just how my soul works. I feel better when I help others. Which is selfish in my opinion but most deeds are done out of selfishness, whether it be bad or good.

"Hey dumbass, don't walk in front of me. Do you think you're better or something?" He glowered at me. I glared back, making his brows soften a tiny bit.

I understand why anyone would be surprised if I frowned- I rarely ever do.

"Where were you guys?" Kirishima said, I noticed Denki covering his mouth with his palm, following his gaze to the bag I was holding.

Fuck-

"You guys were at the manga"-

Make up a lie quick!

"Yes but Bakugo waited outside- nngh-" a heavy weight crushed down on my foot. Why was this guy so violent with me?!

Fucking gremlin.

"Of course he did, he doesn't look like an anime geek at all," Denki added, making my face go red. Do I seem like an anime geek-

I-

"Come on, let's see where the others are!"

When the two finally were in front of us, Bakugo leaned down to whisper. "Fucking idiot, do you not know how to lie?!"

I huffed and grabbed him into a headlock. "Fucking idiot, do you not know how to treat a lady?!"

"Let go of me!" He demanded, voice slightly muffled.

"Guys, what are you doing?" Before Kiri could turn around I let go of his head. Bakugo sprung back up and ruffled his own hair.

Authors note:

This chapter there was no mention of Tsuyu and personally, I think she would go out with them too but for some reason, she didn't.
