Bakugou X Kirishima's sister (Reader)

Chapter 37

You heard your door open and then close. You were greeted with silence, still too preoccupied with your reflection to notice who had walked in. When whoever had entered your room still didn't speak you glanced up, seeing the reflection of spiky, ash blond hair.

Your body turned slowly as you moved to face him. Not entirely sure what to expect. Especially after your encounter on Thursday.

"Don't go out with him," he spoke finally breaking the silence. His voice soft, even his expression didn't hold a single ounce of anger as it did the other day.

"What?" Your voice barely above a whisper, your heart picking up its pace, that anxious feeling stirring in your stomach as you tried to process what was happening.

"Don't go out with him." His eyes pleading with you as he looked at you from across the room.

Thoughts of everything that had happened the last few days spinning in your head. After everything you've learned about your breakup, what were you supposed to say?

"Bakugou, I-"

He took a few steps towards you, slowly. Stopping in front of you causing you to have to look up at him. You could see the distress in his eyes as he looked down at you, his eyes searching your features for some kind of clue as to what you were thinking.

"If you have any feelings left for me, you won't call me that."

You wanted to hide from the scrutiny of his eyes, but you couldn't look away as your gazes locked, sharing a conversation unsaid. You took a deep breath in through your nose, you could smell his familiar clean scent before sighing your exhale.

"Katsuki..." you started, but that was all he needed before his mouth met yours. Hands cupping your face to bring you closer as his lips hungrily found you. You couldn't stop your eyes from fluttering closed as you leaned towards him. You missed this, you missed him and for a moment your mind went blank, every thought in your mind evaporating.

The both of you pulling away to take a breath, your thoughts coming back to you. Placing a hand on his chest to stop him as he leaned back down towards you.

"Wait." He stopped, eyes meeting yours. "You can't just act like nothing happened." His head dropping, forehead pressed against yours. "Katsuki, I know why you did it. And I'd be lying if I didn't say it hurt. But I can't-"

"Stop," he cut you off, he didn't say it angrily or harshly, just in a way to get you to stop talking. His thumb running along the side of your face. Tracing the light scar along your cheek, from when you got in your fight with Eijiro.

"But I don't want to be the person who gets in your way."

His face scrunched up perplexed as he pulled back slightly to look at you. "You won't get in my way."

"But you said-" he sighed putting a finger over your lips to get you to stop talking again.

"I know what I said," his eyes closed as if the memory pained him, his voice taking a harsher tone. "But I made a mistake. My insecurities got the better of me and I was wrong."

You wanted this more than anything, but you couldn't help but feel hesitant. He had left you with no explanation and you were afraid that it could happen again.

"You say this now, but what if in the future you end up resenting me anyway." You had excuse after excuse made up in your head. Your heart was barely healing, it couldn't deal with something like this anytime soon.

"Listen to me," he wrapped one of his arms around you, pulling you closer. "I have had nothing but time to think about these what ifs that are running through your mind right now. And I've come to terms with them. How I want my life to turn out is up to me, and however it ends up is only caused by me. And right now what I want is you." He paused, taking in any change in your expression. "I want to be the best. You know it and I know it, but I can't be the best unless I'm the best version of myself. And I can only be that when you're around. I messed this up terribly, and I'm sorry. But I care about you so much, so just let me."
