BLAST (Katsuki Bakugou x Reader)

Chapter 18

"Can you pass me my water bottle please?"

She was gasping for air as she's laying flat on her back staring upwards but now looking at her sparring partner.

"Get it yourself."

Bakugou scoffed, acting as if he wasn't tired at all but it was visible that he was sweating more than usual. He knew too that no one else in class 1-A was a better match for him than the girl in front of him but he would never admit that, not out loud at least.

"Nevermind then."

She pouted, too tired to move. She had kind of blackmailed him into training with her, in exchange she would never bring up what happened at Midoriya's place so I'd had been a while since she'd started training with Bakugou and it wasn't the first time that she'd ask him to pass her her bottle as he always succeeded in getting her exhausted to the maximum.

The first time she asked that he yelled at her that he wasn't her butler, the second time he laughed at her for being that tired, the third time he didn't even bother replying but just rolled his eyes. At least his replies were getting less rude.

"Are you going to intern with Best Jeanist?"

She spoke again after a while now sitting up and stretching on the ground and looking at the boy who was stretching a bit further away from her.

"What's it to you?"

He retorted but his voice wasn't as angry as usual, their conversations had improved to normal ones as he had started to lower his walls, knowing that they were no use against her.

"I just thought you would as he's one of the top pro-heroes and he'd probably be able to learn you a lot. I'm still contemplating where to go."

"Just go to the highest ranking one dumbass."

Bakugou could've ignored her but answered nonetheless. He had expected her to make a snotty remark or something but instead she frowned in thought.

"Yeah I was thinking the same but... it's Endeavor."

"That Half-and-Half-Bastard's old man?!"

Bakugou couldn't fully hide the envy in his voice.

"You already got All Might's training, and now number two too?"

"All Might? I haven't gotten his training, just some tips."

"Oh who are you kidding shorty? I've seen you train with him on the beach during one of my jogs."

He crossed his arms and had his daily glare on, not falling for the lie she told everyone else.

"Fine, yeah I've had some after school classes because I had trouble controlling my Quirk and I asked him since he has a similar one, I just didn't want it to look as if he's favorizing me-"

"Yeah yeah whatever, just go with Endeavor, you still have shit tons to learn."

A grin appeared on his face as he teased he but again he didn't get the reaction he was hoping for, she didn't fight back or say something stupid, she just sighed and nodded.

"Yeah you are right, thanks Bakugou."

Said boy clenched his teeth at the hearing of his name instead of the usual nicknames, he knew something was bothering her deeply but his ego didn't let him ask what was wrong, instead he left the girl behind as he turned to walk to the exit.

"Whatever, I'll continue to beat your ass after the internships are over Loser."
