Crimson Eyes {{Katsuki Bakugo X Reader}}

1 *updated/edited*

I sat still, frozen in fear and concern. I watched the news in my room as Izuku ran to save my former best friend and hopeless love interest, Katsuki, form the sludge villain. I immediately texted Izuku.

Me: OMG IZUKU I SAW THE NEWS ARE YOU OK

Izuku: yes (y/n) I'm ok. I'm worried about Kacchan tho, he seems upset.

Me: want me to check on him? I'm about 15min walk away form his place

Izuku: plz. Maybe don't let him know tho

I quickly pulled up Kacchan's number, but hesitated. I knew he wouldn't like it. I'd have to disguise it somehow. I took a deep breath and started to text.

Me: hey Kacchan. Mind if I stop by? I need help prepping for the test next week. And you do have the best scores..

I hit send then sat in anticipation. My phone buzzed and I mentally prepared for rejection.

Kacchan: damn straight I have the best. I AM the best.

Me: so is that an ok?

Kacchan: whatever.

I quickly gathered my backpack and slowly crept out the bedroom door. My father was asleep because he worked all night. mother had passed away when I was young, so it was just the two of us. i tiptoed down stairs and scribbled a note to dad saying where i was headed and stuck it on the fridge. i stepped outside, locking the door behind me for safety. The Bakugous lived just a few corners away so it was an easy walk there. gently, i knocked on the door and Mitsuki, Kacchan's mother, answered.

"Oh (y/n)! I didn't know you were coming over."

"I need help prepping for the test coming up.." i shyly admitted. It wasn't a complete lie, i really did plan to have him help... But also wanted to make sure he was ok. She stepped aside, letting me into their beautiful home.

"He's in his room resting. There was an.. incident today." i nodded my head in understanding and whispered,

"I know.." She smiled at me, knowing that was the real reason I came. She lead me to the stairs.

"You know which room is his, the last door on the right." i thanked her and headed up. His door was shut, but i could see light peeping through the space at the bottom. i took a deep breath then gently knock.

"WHAT?" i heard him yell. i slowly creaked the door open. "Oh. It's just you." He said rolling his eyes. Although I were use to it, his lack of care still stung a little. i've had a super crush on him sense we were little, but no one knew. Not even Izuku. I was shy, always the quiet one. Im surprised he still even acknowledged me to any degree. I knew i wasn't special, yet i still feared his rejection.

 He was laying on his bed.

"H-hey Kacchan.." my soft voice barely came out. i stepped into his room and delicately shut the door behind me so as not to be rude. i stood there awkwardly for a second. it had been a long time sense I was in his room. We hung out a lot as kids, even Izuku was with us. But when Kacchan's quirk developed he became more... harsh. He completely rejected Izuku due to his lack of quirk. I tried to be friends with both of them, which ultimately led to Kacchan targeting me too. I was a late bloomer with my quirk and it developed slowly, so i'm pretty sure Kacchan wasn't aware I had it. Or he just viewed me as weak. So i didn't come around as much unless i needed help with classwork. Even then, the distance between us felt endless. He sat up and pointed to the chair at his desk.

"Sit," he commanded. i cautiously nodded my head and obeyed. "What part do you need help with?"

"Math.."

"STILL? For fuck's sake (y/n) you never understand it," he said in annoyance. i lowered my head in embarrassment. i heard him "tch". i quickly fumbled through my book bag and pulled out my notes from the past two days and text book. "Start working the problems for our homework and if you need help you better fuckin speak up." i softly spun around in the chair so i could work off his desk.

i was already stuck. Two problems in and the confusion was overwhelming already.

"K-Kacchan?"

"What."

"I need help.." i heard him get up. He leaned over my shoulder and looked.

 
"Both are wrong," he flatly stated. He wasn't as harsh to me as he was Izuku, but the aggravation was definitely apparent In his tone. Like always. i started to erase my work, when i realized he still felt close. i looked over and met his crimson eye's gaze.
