hurt

Two days had gone by, and I was able to lift the barbell for a few seconds before dropping it. I knew that if I wanted to bring it all over to where Bakugou was training, I needed more time alone with the weights. So before going to sleep, I'd go outside and lift them for a few minutes. And now I'm proud to say I can lift the damn thing above my head now.

When we all finished for the day, both class 1-A and 1-B were obligated to make our own food together as a team. Though I made my own lunch because the ingredients they prepared their food with didn't really have much iron in them, so I made myself some cooked beef and a side of spinach leaves. I didn't really know how to make food, and this was the only thing they had that had enough iron that could last me for the night.

I ate alone in a corner, lifting a weight under the table to keep my muscles active for that night's training. Though just when I thought I had some time for myself, Bakugou walked up toward me with his plate of food, and I raised my look as I hid the barbell behind me.

"What are you doing here?"

"Well, if you don't want me here then I can just leave!" Bakugou yelled.

"You know I was only kidding," I grinned.

Bakugou grunted, but sat in front of me nonetheless.

"I'm really looking forward to our fight, firecrackers."

"That's if you bring that weight to me!" he laughed, mockingly, "I bet it doesn't even weigh that much! You're just flattering yourself here!"

"Well just so you know," I followed along, "I can already lift them above my head."

"Heh!" Bakugou chuckled, "I'll believe it when I see it!"

Suddenly, both Sero and Kirishima walked over to our table. But for some reason, Bakugou wasn't happy to see them.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Bakugou barked, "Go away! You're both annoying me with just being here!"

"What? We can't join you now?" Kirishima inquired, "I thought we were all friends here."

The two of them sat beside Bakugo despite his fiery entice, all facing towards me.

"Oh. I see," Sero smirked, "You want some alone time with (y/n), is that it? Because if that's the case..."

"O-Of course not!" Bakugou complained, "You can have her for all I care! I could care less about her!"

For some reason, hearing those words coming out of Bakugou's mouth made my heart ache. I felt a tight grip against it; almost as if it had stopped beating. With each painful throb, I watched him argue with Sero. I knew Bakuogu probably didn't mean it and just said that to make Sero back off. But it still hurt me for some reason. Even though I only saw Bakugou as a friend, his words were like knives.

"I was just joking," Sero said as he stuck the tip of his tongue out, "No need to be so aggressive there, Kacchan~"

"What did you just call me, you punk?!"

I suddenly stood up from my seat, looking down.

"I-I'll be right back..."

I walked away from there, still hearing what they were saying on the table.

"Look what you did, Bakugou!" Sero scolded, "You really are heartless! Now (y/n) is hurt!"

"Me?! I didn't do anything!"

Though just when I was about to leave the grounds, Kirishima stopped me by placing his hand on my shoulder, turning me around as I saw a worried expression across his face.

"Are you ok, (y/n)?" Eijirou frowned, "Did Bakugou say something you didn't like?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm fine," I reassured, "Don't worry about me."

I forced a smile, still hurt.

"Bakugou didn't upset you or anything, did he?"

"No," I shook my head, "I-I just feel a little tired from training. That's all. I'm just going to the bathroom. I'll be there soon."

Eijirou nodded, not convinced of my words.
