Puppy Love || A BakuDeku Story

2 : Park Encounters

Bakugou looked down, hearing his alarm go off. King was lying on his legs, sleeping. The blonde grumbled, before moving his legs around violently, making the animal wake up. 

"Since when are you allowed to get on the bed, huh?!" He yelled, chasing the pet out of the room. He knew that most owners let their pet sleep with them, but not him. He hated the idea of an animal on his bed sheets. After all, King loves to go around and play in mud. Bakugou would usually try to clean him, along with his paws. But they would never get 100% clean. 

The man stood out of bed, stretching his arms as he yawned loudly. A whine was heard from the doorway, where King was sitting, seemingly ashamed. Bakugou rolled his eyes, shooing him away. The animal quickly scurried out of the blonde's sight, before Katsuki walked out of the room. He looked around, trying to figure out what he was going to do today. After a long week at work, he had another weekend, free to himself. He knew one thing was for sure : He'd bring King to the park again. 

The blonde quickly got his breakfast ready, and ate it as quickly as he could. He then proceeded by getting the bag ready, and tying the leash to King's collar. Both him and his pet walked out of the house, heading towards the park, which was about a mile away. It took about 20 minutes to reach their destination, but it felt like forever. Once the man arrived, he sat down at his usual bench, and threw a stick for his dog to chase after. 

The blonde quickly pulled out a book, flipping it open. He had borrowed it from his mother, and had gotten obsessed with the collection. Therefore, on weekends, he's usually flip on open, and read. It was a romance book, but it also had crime in it. Something that Katsuki somewhat loved. 

The blonde looked down, hearing a happy huff from the ground. He bent down, throwing the stick away again, staring as King ran after it. However, this time, King didn't return. Of course, the man only noticed after several minutes, that his dog hadn't brought back his stick. Therefore, he looked up, in search of his pet. He then spotted King, lying on the ground with Izuku petting him. Next to the boy, was sitting his own dog. Mochi. 

Bakugou smiled softly at the scene, before standing up and walking towards the boy. 

"Ah! Hi, Kacchan!" The greenette cheered, letting go of the German Shepherd. Bakugou waved, before snickering. 

"My name's Katsuki." He said, earning a disappointed look from the other. 

"Right... Sorry. I have a hard time remembering names. I promise, I'll get it right next time!" The greenette said, looking back down to King, before standing up. Izuku sighed softly, scratching the back of his neck sheepishly. 

"I saw him playing with a stick, so I came over and decided to pet him a little." The small male said. Bakugou nodded, smiling back. He looked down, seeing King sniff the female dog, who didn't seem to mind. At least he wasn't growling at her, like last time. 

"Anyways, I've been coming to the park every day, in hope of running into you." Midoriya continued. A long silence followed, before the green haired boy started to panic. 

"Uwah! Sorry! I know that sounded really creepy! I- Uh... I didn't mean it that way at all! Guh, I don't want you to think of me as a sort of creep or anything... I was just, you know... Hoping to be able to talk to you again. After all, you are the one who kept an eye on Mochi, here. I don't know what I would've done if I wouldn't have found her." The greenette rambled, blushing madly as he looked down to the Golden Retriever. Katsuki scoffed. He hadn't thought of the boy's comment that way, but now that Izuku mentioned it, it kind of did sound creepy. 

"Nah, don't worry about it." Bakugou shrugged, smiling at the freckled male, who seemed relieved. The blonde looked down to his dog, seeing him roll around in the grass, along with Mochi. 

"Uh, by the way... I'm curious... What did you do with my number? You didn't contact me all week. I guess... I was just waiting for you to reach out or something. I know it's kind of weird. But, just- I run into an attractive guy like you, and I get my hopes up... Oh, Stupid, stupid Izuku!" The greenette muttered, slapping his own forehead. Katsuki stared at the boy for a few seconds, before replying. 

"Nah, I just didn't get a chance to message you. And, to be honest, it slipped out of my mind... With work and all." The blonde said, bending down to pet Mochi. The dog whined happily, before running off to play with King once more. The two boys stared at the dogs for several minutes, before Katsuki spoke up once more. 

"Want to sit?"
