C R I M I N A L | K. Bakugo x Reader

Chapter 31

I walk in silence beside Bakugo, not really sure what i'm supposed to say. We are about 15 minutes from UA meaning it's going to be awkwardly quiet for that long.

"Sorry for... getting you involved in my shit" I mumble, mostly talking about the mission that he doesn't know about.
"What shit? that you're basically in an abusive relationship?" his scowl deepens and i bite my lip.
"It's not a relationship"
"Can you stop? It really doesn't make a massive difference to what's going on." he hisses.
"Are you mad at me?"
"The fuck? Not at all! Why would you even think that and why would i be?" his venomous eyes drill into me.
"You're just acting angry that's all"
He was about to cut back with a sharp reply but he stops himself mid breath "sorry"

He stays silent for a bit.
"I just want you-" He slightly gags at his own words and i smirk slightly "Iwantyousafe"
"Gross" i snort.
"I know, gross" his face distorts as he looks down at me.
I gasp at his rude comment and smack him on the arm "i'm not gross"
"Yeah... you are"
"For someone with such an ugly face, you have a lot of confidence" I smugly smile and he smiles with his teeth as he looks away, shaking his head.
"Take it back, you know it isn't true" He squints as the morning sun is eye level with us.
"Mmm i'll be willing to deal if you take back what you said i'll take back what i said" I cross my arms over my chest.

He doesn't say anything for a bit but then looks at me again "Fine, you're okay looking"
"You're okay looking too" i grin sarcastically.
"Maybe more than okay looking" the corner of his mouth tugs up.
My face grows hot and i snap my head away, hiding it the best i can.
"Do i make you nervous?" he chuckles.

"Nope" I pop the 'p' but avoid his gaze. I hum as i take steps, singing a song i've forgotten the name of but the same part had been playing on repeat in my head.
"Shut up- wait, is that Play With Fire?" his eyes light up. I've never seen the boy like this.
"I think thats the name" i nod.
"That song" he inhaled with his eyes closed "so good"
"Oh yeah? What other songs do you like?" I bump into him as we walk. At first he leans away from the contact but soon just accepts it.

"Uhmmm to name a few, Somebody Told Me - The Killers, Warriors - Imagine Dragons, Doubt - Fall Out Boy, Get Out Of The Way - Mother Mother" he holds his fingers up with every one he lists.

I laugh slightly.
"WHAT?"
"Nothing, we just have really similar music taste" I shrug before glancing up at him "How about Paramore?"
"I love their music" he grins.

So that's the boys passion, it's music.

"Awh, you little cutie" I tease him and reach up to squeeze his cheeks but he whacks my hand away, pink gently smoothing across his nose and cheeks.
"Don't fucking call me that" His smile leaves his face, being replaced with an unimpressed stare.
I throw my hands up in defence "Sorry, emo boy"
"What makes you think i'm fucking emo" he scoffs.
"When i was a young boy~" I reference and he rolls his eyes before smacking me around the back of my head. I let out a high pitched yelp and elbow him in the side in return.
He lets out a laugh before throwing a punch at my shoulder. In reply i kick him in the shins to which he lets out and 'omfph' sound.

He gives me a deadly look and that's when i knew i fucked up.

"Well- I'm off" i do awkward ginger guns in the other direction.

I begin running, gradually building up to a sprint. I glance behind me and he's running at full speed. I let out a screech and push myself to run faster but it's not enough. I'm more stamina than speed.

I hear his footsteps become louder as they approach me.
"P- LEASE! HAVE MERCY!" i cry out while laughing, my running slowing down as we approach the school.
He catches up to me, kicking me in the back of my knee, causing it to buckle. I fall onto the floor, clutching my stomach from laughing and being out of breath.

"It's not that funny" he attempts to stop his smile from intercepting his moody facade.
"You're such a bore. Don't lie, you found it funny" I giggle from the floor.
"Weirdo" he scoffs and starts walking inside.
I get onto my feet and jog to catch up with him. He gives me a fake disapproving look as i smile widely at him.

"What happened with you and Bakugo? Didn't you literally hate each other two weeks ago?" Todoroki asks quietly as he flips through his notebook as we sit at the library tables.
"I don't even know when it happened but we just... suddenly clicked i guess" I shrug as I eye the Maths questions, not even bothering to look up at the dual haired boy.

"I've been thinking" He starts. The tone of his voice causes my eyes to follow the sound, my gaze landing on his hetero chromatic eyes.
"Oh? About what?" I watch him, his cheeks becoming strawberry coloured.
"Maybe we should go out sometime" he asks almost inaudibly.

My eyes widen at the suggestion and my cheeks heat up "yeah that would be cool"
He clears his throat "cool"
"cool" i smile to myself. Might as well have some fun while i'm here right?

He opens and closes his mouth a couple time, debating whether to say something.

"What would Touya think?" he asks, his view now on his school work.
"Touya? You mean hookup Touya?" i smirk but my heart beats ferociously as he asks about his brother.
"Mhm"
I notice his eyes aren't reading the words, meaning he's just avoiding my stare.
"I don't- huh?? he's just sex" I answer as nonchalantly as possible. Todoroki nods slowly before his eyes find my injury.

"What happened to your wrist" he points at the bandage.
"I just burned myself. Why?"

He shuts his eyes and inhales.

Fuck, i think he knows. Is that the only reason he wants to hang out? To grill me further?

"I am very interested in you, L/N but i have a few things on my mind" he says shyly, picking his pen up and nibbling his lip.
"Like what?" i feel myself start to sweat but a caramel scent drifts around me.
"What're you guys doing?" Bakugo leans on the table and i internally thank him for showing up right as the conversation started to get risky.
"Doing some maths" I groan and rest my head on the table.
"Maths? or flirting?" he snorts, bonking me on my head with my own ruler.
"Jealous?" Todoroki says which takes me by surprise as usual.

Around literally everyone else, he doesn't say a word. But, as soon as it comes to Bakugo, his confidence soars.

"Guys stop fighting over me" i say playfully.
"Why would i want to fight someone for you?" Bakugo laughs obnoxiously.
"We are in a library." Todorokis monotone voice fills the air.
I lift my head up and stare at them both.
"Yeah, library my ASS" Bakugo reply's angrily.

"Shhhhh" the library shushes him.

"Yeahhh Bakugo, shhhh" i hold my finger up to my lips and narrow my eyes at him in a teasing way. He just messes up my hair through ruffling it before taking a seat next to me.
"Wanna eat lunch with me?"

"I already promised i'd sit with Midoriya, sorry" I cringe with my face.
"Fucking Deku" he grumbles.
"I like Midoriya, i'll sit with you too" Todoroki smiles.
"In that case so will I"

They exchange glares and i laugh to myself "okayyy guys you know i can have more than one friend right?"
They both give me a deadpan look and i raise my brows in confusion. Am i not allowed more than one friend?

"uhm, on second thought it's just going to be me and Midoriya since you both can't accept that fact"

As if it was coincidence, the bell rings for lunch and i rip my eyes off of them, packing my work away and then slinging my bag over my shoulder.
