Infected (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

2) Revealations

"Y/N! Over here!" Mina yelled trying to get my attention. I slowly pass through the cafeteria to the table she was at. She patted the seat next to her as I neared the table. I slid into the empty seat, my hands clasped nervously in my lap. I glance around at the people seated around the table. Mina began introducing me to everyone. I already knew Kirishima and had vaguely encountered Bakugo. Hanta Sero was a slender dark headed boy with a tape quirk and Denki Kaminari has an electrical quirk. I quietly introduce myself to everyone and Bakugo's gaze narrows when it meets mine.

"What's your quirk, Extra?" he scowls. A knot forms in my stomach. They didn't need to know just yet.

"That's for me to know and you to figure out." the retort was out in the open before I had a chance to bite my tongue. A light flush flashes across his cheeks, clearing as quickly as it appeared. Kirishima's laugh broke the silence.

"Damn Baku-bro, sounds like some competition." Mina and Kaminari joined in the laughter.

"Tch, whatever. I'm not worried about some quiet extra." Bakugo scowls, returning to his lunch.

Kaminari slid into the seat beside me. With an eyebrow raised, he leans in. "So, tell me, does a pretty thing like you have a boyfriend at home?" He wraps an arm around my shoulders. What the fuck, I literally just met you.

"Fuck off Kaminari." I snap, pushing his arm off me.

"Ooooh, Y/N has more fire than I thought." Sero laughs.

"Hey, you can't blame me for trying." Kaminari shrugs, turning his gaze back to me but not meeting my glare.

"Atta girl!" Mina laughs. I see Bakugo glance up from his lunch briefly meeting my gaze. Why did he seem so angry all the time? I try to laugh along with the groups jokes, but spending so much time alone the last year, I am quite a bit behind on a lot of the shows and music that's popular. Mina pulled out her cell phone and began showing me quite a few different things.

"Hey, let me get your number real quick!" Mina exclaimed, turning towards me from her seat.

"Oh, uh, I don't have a cell phone." I answer quietly, not meeting anyone's gaze.

"Well, that's okay! What's your dorm number? I can come over after school-"

"Uh, that's okay, I can go to your dorm instead." I cut Mina off, hoping to change the subject. I didn't want anyone to know I didn't exactly have anything. Walking into my absolute bare dorm sometimes put me into a funk, I really didn't need a new friend seeing that either. Mina didn't seem to notice, excitedly nodding as she grasped my hand in hers, a soft squeal of excitement leaving her lips. I smile softly and realized Bakugo had looked up from his lunch again. But this time, his expression was softer.

"Y/N, I need to see you after class." Aizawa's voice called as he dismissed the rest of the class. The familiar knot of anxiety forming in my chest as I nod. I throw an apologetic smile to Mina as she pointed to the locker, mouthing that she would wait for me. I watched as the other students slowly filed out of the room, Aizawa closing the door behind the last student as they left. A soft sigh left his mouth as he sat on the edge of his desk in front of me.

"Don't be so nervous, you're not in trouble." he says, his dark eyes looking up into mine. "I'm aware of your situation and I want to make a deal with you." The knot of anxiety grew bigger.

"Aha, what situation? Everything's fine." I laugh nervously, placing a hand on the back of my neck.

"Cut the shit, don't lie to me." his eyes narrowed looking down into mine. " I know you didn't eat lunch and that your parents aren't around. It's okay to accept help."
