Listen (Bakugo Katsuki x Reader)

Chapter 22

"And then I finished the rest of the stacks of paper for the first year." I narrated as I hovered the phone over my mouth.

"That's it? That's what you did the whole day? You did your work, bought ice cream for your shitty colleagues, they did your work, gave you a fucking jacket, did more work and then went to the dorms. Are you sure that's everything, dumbass?" The ash blonde warned on the other line. I sweatdropped. I can't tell him I met Shouto and then learned that his father, Endeavor, actually owned the agency. He hates the boy.

"Y-Yeah. That's it. Hehe." I replied as my mouth twitched. You fucking liar! The ash blonde sighed heavily.

"Just as long as you're fucking safe. Next time text me as soon as you start your shitty break. I almost broke my phone trying to contact you earlier." Katsuki demanded to which I weakly smiled at.

"Thank you for worrying about me, Katsuki." I responded earnestly and he snorted in response.

"Well it's your fucking fault anyway, dipshit! Being so far away. How'd you get your shitty ha— mom to agree knowing you're such a wimp?" The ash blonde chided to which my heart felt a familiar ache. I wonder how...

"Oh, you know her. Always the supportive mom she is. When I told her about the internship and the agency I chose, she just continued sipping her tea and brushed it off." I joked as I gently clasped my pained heart. It's not that she agreed, she just didn't care.

I frowned, scrolling through my messages and call logs, all of them were from my friends and none from her.

"Don't get all sulky with me, dumbass. Fuck! This is why I hate being away from you. You're such a fucking cry baby." The ash blonde growled in anger making me flinch a bit.

"I can't... hold you." He continued as he gritted his teeth, breathing through the mic. I closed my eyes as I clutched the phone tighter to my ears. I miss him so much. It's at these moments that I need him to make me feel okay.

"I'm sorry. For making you feel shitty. I should've fucking known better." The ash blonde apologized, his jaw still clenched.

"It's not your fault." I whispered, hoping to calm the tensed Katsuki down.

Minutes passed with just us listening to each others' breaths. It's as if he was right here next to me. However, I felt that my eyelids were getting heavier by the minute.

"Do you like it there, dumbass? Were you happy?" The ash blonde spoke again, breaking the silence. Remembering the blithesome moment I had with everyone in the agency, the corners of my mouth instantly curled up.

"I do, Katsuki. Very much so." I replied, replacing the ache in my heart with joy.

"Then that's the only thing you should think of. Nevermind the other bullshit in your life." Katsuki reminded me as he grunted in amusement. I grinned at his remark.

"Yes, Master Porcupine." I replied, yawning as my eyes pleaded to be shut. I must've been more tired than I thought.

"Good. Now go to sleep, dumbass. Don't fucking forget to message me tomorrow." He demanded firmly to which I nodded at. I sluggishly grabbed the blanket as I positioned myself to sleep.

"I still think you should've chosen Rainbow Dash. Damn you." The ash blonde teased me again to which I sluggishly chuckled at. Seriously, this boy...

"Good night, Katsuki." I hummed as I shut my eyes. I heard muffled speaking on the other line but was too drowzy to pay attention to it and drifted off to sleep before the call ended.
