Failure {(grown up) Katsuki X Reader}

"I'm fine, just like I said I'd be." As he stares at you you feel as if he examining you. Like he's trying to figure something out.

"Deku why dont you walk me back to my room I'm feeling tired." You knew exactly what she was doing and by the looks of it both men did as well.

"Uh sure." As the two of them walk off your left standing awkwardly with someone who seemed suspicious of you. Though at this moment he had very right to be.

"Bakugo there's something I should tell you." You can see the dread frame his features. "I found a bottle of cold medicine in the cabinet and-"

"How fucking dare you! I trusted you in my home-" you cut him off.

"Let me finish asshole!" You can tell he wants to argue but reluctantly lets you speak. "I was tempted, really tempted but I didn't drink it! Because I knew that if I did I'd break your trust in me. And I couldn't do that again." You spoke the last sentence more quietly. His face is void of emotion but his eyes show how hard he's thinking about what you'd said.

"If you had drank it you wouldn't be sitting here admitting you even thought about. I can't say I'm happy you thought about it in the first place but you didn't do it," He pauses his features softening. "And that means a lot to me." You let out a shaky sigh.

"Yo bakubro!" You hear kirishima's voice behind you. You turn to see him entering the building one hand high waving at bakugo.

"Jesus Christ I told him not to come." You turn back to see bakugo pinching the bridge of his nose.

"Man you got outa there lucky huh?" Kirishima says seeing Bakugos bandages, those of which you only just noticed. His hand was wrapped and you could see the bulk of bandages on his torso under his hero costume.

"Luck had nothing to do with it." Looking back up to his face you can tell he's exhausted. Checking the clock on the wall you see it's almost five in the morning. Then an idea pops into your mind.

You stretch your arms above your head letting out a large yawn that was only half fake. This gets both men's attention. "I'm pretty tired how about we head back to the apartment?" You give bakugo a look and he seems to understand instantly.

"Yeah I'm sure your tired from staying up all night worrying about me." He smirks down at you, and you roll your eyes at him.

"Oh, well I guess I'll let you two go then." Kirishima seems suspicious of the interaction but leaves none the less. Once he's gone you turn to face bakugo.

"Angel sent a driver to pick us up." You go to continue to explain angels absence but bakugo speaks first.

"Thanks." You stare at bakugo slightly confused and shocked.

"For what?" He shakes his head.

"I don't know." You stand for a moment trying figure out what exactly is going on with him. "Let's just go home, I'm fucking exhausted." He takes your hand in his and begins walking. It takes you a moment to catch up to him after a moment of shocked flustered panic. Despite the pounding in your heart you felt calm, and secure.

Bakugo had always had that affect on you. He made you feel safe and at home.

"It's been a week kat, you said you'd be back in a few days." You hear him sigh through the phone.

"I know, and I thought I would be, but there's some real shit going down right now." He pauses and for a moment neither of you speak. "Look I wish I could be there but they need me here."

"I know, I know I'm sorry, it just feels cold without you here." You laugh. "That sounds kinda stupid doesn't it?"

"No it doesn't. It's been to quiet without you around. It's easy to just relax when your talking."

"Jesus Christ you two act like the others dead!" You hear aizawas voice through the phone.

"Can it old man! It's not our fault you don't know how to love!" Katsuki calls back at him defensively. You hear Aizawa go on to throw a slew of slurs at katsuki. "Anyways, I'll be home really soon I promise."

Later that night you tossed and turned. This was how it was every night since katsuki had left. It felt cold and uncomfortable in bed.

Just as you begin to doze off you hear the front door open and close. You sit up heart pounding. You stand from the bed and race to the living room to see none other than katsuki. Without hesitation you run at him wrapping your arms around his neck and your legs around his waist.

"Holy shit!" He exclaims while hastily trying to steady you. Warmth, all you could feel was warmth. You press your nose into his neck taking deep breaths of his ashy caramel scent.

"God I missed you." You say not removing your face from its position. He chuckles and you can feel the vibrations from his throat.

"I missed you too."
