Enemies- Bakugo x Reader

Boxing

Bakugo is training in the gym after school as usual. He's in the school's boxing team, the best player of all. He was recommended into the college team during his freshman year in UA High by the chairman of the Central Boxing Association himself, which also guaranteed him getting into UA College. Having won tons of medals, he's a star in the college team.

But the coach, Sekijiro Kan, doesn't favour him at all. He favours the new guy Neito Monoma, a guy that gets on Bakugo's nerves.

~flashback from morning training~
"Bakugo, are you getting weaker?"
The coach asked him.

He clenched his fist.
"What do you mean I'm getting weaker? I'm stronger than ever, and I'll surely beat the shit outta that Monoma guy,"

"Yesterday you fell onto your knees when you battled him, how do you explain that? Bakugo, if you don't get yourself together and train, your post will be replaced,"

Thinking about when he was fighting Neito, his head was hurting in a sudden and he fell onto his knees. Is something happening to him? Is it making him, weak?

"No I won't be. Never."
He growled, clenching his fist even tighter. He's always did everything to strive and be the best at boxing. He's not letting some newbie like Neito get ahold of him.

He glared at the smirking Neito and left the stadium.

Why didn't he win Neito? He's sure that he is a hundred, or not, a million times stronger than that filthy bundle of sticks.

His headache. It's been getting him lately. The coach noticed it and got a new boxer to replace him. The coach has always despised him, wanting to get rid of him. This thought made his blood boil. He might be bad mouthed, but he never did anything actually bad.

After showering, he went to the cafeteria to fetch himself some mineral water.

"Thank you for your purchase,"
The cashier handed him a receipt which he denied.

Turning around, he saw a familiar face not so far away, by herself. Her dyed brown hair tied up into a messy pony tail. Her face was buried into the pile of books beneath her.

He walked towards her while gulping the water down, seeing her fast asleep.

Weak, he thought. Can't even stay awake again while studying? How weak. He hates seeing people giving up. And this is a type of give up in his eyes. If one's gotta do something, they should finish it in one go. Giving up into tiredness is letting weakness slip in.

And he's not weak. He's strong. That's why he's different from everyone.

He went back to his dorm, started his schoolwork and started working until whatever the time is.

He has to keep his mind busy from thinking about that shitty Neito.

Y/N is finally awake. She looked up and saw the clock pointing at 7. Oh Jesus. She's gonna be late to the counselling session with Miss Emi.

She ran back to her dorm room and took out her iPad.

Logging in, she gave out a little smile and waved.

"Hello Y/N, how are you doing today? How's school life been?"
Miss Emi waved back with a warm smile.

"It's alright Miss Emi, I'm a little worn out, thoughts always drifting...it's fine,"
She smiled with eye bags.

"Have you been up lately, Y/N? Are you really ok?"
Miss Emi insisted, worried.
"You know you can tell me everything, Y/N,"

"I'm really fine, thanks,"

They continued to talk for the next half an hour. Y/N talked about meeting new friends and trying to get her studies on track.

"See you, Y/N, I hope you're getting better, don't push yourself too much. Also, get some sleep! I don't want to see your eye bags next time we meet!"

Y/N smiled and waved goodbye.

She was lying. She's not okay. She's not been able to sleep at night, having nightmares whenever she's asleep in bed. She'll always wake up to the horrible scene.

The horrible scene that absolutely torn her.

This has been going on for two years, and it's been keeping her from functioning normally. She has gone from being a great student to a student who always fell asleep in class. It's also difficult to maintain her grades.

Life has been been awful since then.

She covered her teary eyes with her sheets. It's too difficult.

She hates to be weak.

To not being able to take control in her own life.

And she's trying so hard.

She slides out the drawer and took a pill.

The next day

"Yo Y/N! Wassup? Let's go to the lecture room together,"
Kirishima summing his arm around Y/N again, making her blush a little.

"Of course, Kirishima,"

"I think you should start calling me Kiri, since we're best friends now,"
Lol, he's really a social bug.  It's been a week and he's already calling her his best friend.

On their way to the lecture room, they came across Bakugo.

He's death stares are no joke.

"YOOO BRO SUUP!" Kirishima wrapped his hand around Bakugo, too. Now he's in the middle of y/n and Bakugo. It's so awkward.

"Get your arm off me, and don't make me go near that dumb girl,"

Y/n rolled her eyes.

Kirishima ignored him. He grabbed Bakugo even tighter and marched them into the lecture hall.

They sat at the lecture hall, Kirishima in the middle.

"Where's Uraraka?" Y/n asked Kirishima.

"She's got some stuff to do, so she's not coming to class,"

"Alrighty then," Y/N sat her head onto her palm with slight disappointment.

She's been trying so hard to focus on the lecture, but it's really hard to fight her lack of sleep. It's finally got to her and she fell asleep onto her notebook.

Bakugo squinted at Y/N.
"Tsk."

"Hm? Did you say something?"
Kirishima asked Bakugo.

"Nothing. Pay attention stupid,"
Bakugo crossed his arms.

He despises people. People like the Y/N he knows by now. He thinks that Y/N is just lazy and doesn't like to fight for her grades. Everyone's almost the same, but she's worse cuz sleeping every day seems like she's not trying even a tad bit. Maybe she doesn't even care about it, she might have rich parents who can support her damn life. How miserable.

It reminds him of Neito, that jerk. He's in the boxing team cuz his dad is the main sponsor of their team. He does nothing, sleeps during his trainings. Bakugo must've won the fight if he hadn't had the headache.

Why did that headache come at the worst moment of all damn time?

He shook his busy mind off and tried concentrating in class.

Looking down, he realised the tank top that he's wearing is sewn by Y/n.

Tsk. What a nosy girl too.

Never mind.
Stay focused, Bakugo.
He thought.
