Dare To Love You (Bakugo X Reader)

Chapter 21

Sorry about the new name and cover, I had to change it because reasons.

As May began, flowers bloomed all over the city. As for April showers, they clung to us well past their time.

Today, rain pattered the sidewalk softly, though the dark, heavy clouds above warned of a storm

Bakugo and I scurried into U.A. sopping wet. Neither of us wore raincoats because Bakugo had an umbrella, but a gust of wind flipped it inside out, and he got so frustrated he blew it up.

So, safe to say I was not in the best mood. Going through it, if you will.

We parted ways and went to our lockers to put our stuff away, then rejoined to go to class.

On our way, Mina scurried to my side from behind. "Hey girl...you too are looking extra cozy together," she half-whispered in my ear.

"Not. now!" I hissed.

"Aw, come on!" she whined.

"Ugh, what's the chance of you shutting up till you get your way?"

"Slim to none." she smiled cheekily. Grabbing my hand, she yanked me into a girls restroom, leaving a confused Bakugo in the hall. "Tell me everything!"

"How do you know anything happened?" I bluffed, leaning against a sink.

She crossed her arms and gave me an accusatory look. "Because you to have been joined at the hip since you kissed, and I'm not an idiot!"

"Debatable-," I jested. She shoved my shoulder. "Fine, I'll tell you! So we sort of...went on a date." I was embarrassed at the childish giddiness that bubbled up inside me.

Mina squealed, then asked, "Where to?"

"That super tasty diner; you know, the one we went to after the U.S.J. attack."

Mina's face contorted into fury. "A repeat?! Already?! Oh HELL no!" she attempted storming out of the bathroom, but I held her back.

"Where do you think you're going?"

"Someone needs to get their pants melted off!"

"Girl, calm down! It's 8 in the morning!" I said. "What are you even angry about anyway?"

"You're kidding. That's the best he could do? That's so fucking lazy of him!" she hissed.

"He didn't exactly have much time to prepare! Neither of us knew that...anything would happen between us when we woke up. He remembered that I liked their food, and he brought me there. Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure it was a whim," I mused.

Mina was still visibly fuming, but I was certain I had budged her an inch out of pant-melting rage. "Ugh, whatever. We should get to class."

She stalked to class and I trailed along behind her.

"Today we're choosing hero names."

"Oh yeah!" Kiri exclaimed.

"Oh no!" Midoriya whimpered.

Hero names. Though I wasn't moved to emotional proclamations, I was excited as well. I have had mine picked for a while, and I was intrigued to see what everyone else would choose.

But why now? It seems a little premature.

As if reading my mind, Mr. Aizawa announced, "This is related to the pro hero draft picks I mentioned last time we were in class together. Normally, you wouldn't have to worry about this yet, but your class is different."
