"Take Me" | Bakugo

Chapter Twenty Two: Forever and Always (NSFW)

Everywhere was loud.

It took a while to get Todoroki's ice out of the gymnasium and Bakugo hated every minute of it. He moved along to grab large pieces of pics to the barrel with a few curses under his breath. He didn't understand why Todoroki couldn't just melt it all. His shoulders slumped with a loud sigh before reaching for another piece of ice. Another hand touches his and startles him. He looked up to see Elvira, the short girl with a succubus quirk standing there. She was frozen in place before pulling her hand back. Her cheeks flustered as she rubbed her arm apologetically.

"Sorry! I guess we both reached for the same one." she laughed softly.

"It's fine, dumbass." Bakugo rolled his eyes.

"I can help you if you want—"

"I got it. Go bug some other extra," he grunted.

"I'll leave you to it." Elvira gave him a soft smile.

He froze.

Bakugo stared at her up and down, her body was different than before. He remembered her being tiny and quiet. This time her body was curvier than before. From what he heard it was something to do with more of her quirk manifesting. Bakugo didn't listen to much of the conversation but he was curious about it. Not that he cares about that stuff in the first place but he was a little smitten.

Not because of her body.

It was that damn smile.

The rest of the time during clean-up duty that's all he could think about. Elvira's smile was on his mind and he was getting frustrated with himself. Kirishima and Denki pulled Bakugo along to go to the carnival-style games. It took his mind off the distraction until he did one mini-game.

It was a balloon-popping game with darts. The prizes all around were small teddy bears and some other inflatable prizes. Nothing he necessarily cared for. Bakugo watched Kirishima fail at the game a few times before Denki had a try. He turned his head to the side and out of the corner of his eye he saw Elvira again. She was standing by herself a few booths down.

Her stare was distant.

She was smiling but it wasn't like before. It was a fake plastered smile and he knew it.

"Bakugo, did you want to have a crack at this game?" Kirishima asked.

"Yeah, I'll show you extras how it's done."

He took three darts from the stand and held one up. With a shifting hand, he threw the first one and it was a hit. His eyes focused on the bird again before throwing the next dart which was another hit. He felt people gathering around them now as he aimed his last dart. Bakugo rolled a deep breath before throwing the last one.

Hit.

"Wow.."

A gasp came from behind Bakugo and he turned his head.

"That was impressive." Elvira smiles back at him with a giggle.

"Of course it was. I'm good at everything, nerd." Bakugo was handed a teddy bear as he spoke.

"I don't know how he did it. Denki and I sucked it." Kirishima laughed.

"You can say that Bakugo is good with his hands." Denki nudged Bakugo's shoulder.

"Shut up, dumbass!"

"I'm going to get some food. Do you want anything, Bakugo?" Kirishima asked.
