Chap 10: Equals

Life ain't daijobu. Either way!
This was fun to write, like really fun. So I hope y'all have fun reading it as well.

Y/n's POV:

I stood there motionless, trying to register All Might's words and letting them sink in. My palms grew sweaty as the spotlight shone on me as well.

Great, Live a quiet life my butt.

Bakugo seemed to have the same reaction but he snapped out of it when he saw the crowd approaching us, "Shit ...Oi let's go. Woodpecker? Are you deaf? Fuck it let's go."

He grabbed my hand and dragged us into a vacant balcony, immediately pulling the curtains in and glaring at the crowd to give us privacy.

I stood in the nice spacious balcony. Nobles would usually come here away from the public eye.

Mostly couples came here...

I let out a disgruntled sound and covered my face with my hands as the groaning continued and grew louder.

"gaaaaaaaaaHHHHHHHHH—OOMPH!" My scream of frustration was immediately shut down by Bakugo's hand with him glaring at me, "What in hell's name is wrong with you?"

My face was flustered as I pulled his hand down, "What's wrong with me? What's wrong with YOU! Why are you so calm! Honestly I thought you'd be the one raging not me."

He let me go and turned away from me, walking towards the bench decorated with flowers as he sat down. I followed pursuit and sat down next to him, the space between us evident. He stayed silent, his hands interwined while he was in deep thought.

Until he broke the silence, "This could work in both our favours ya know?" He mumbled and I gave him a skeptical look, he immediately retaliated, "I'm not in it for your riches smartass. It's going to take you decades to come close to the amount I'm worth."

I rolled my eyes, "Give me time, I'll overthrow your worth one day....but what benefit do I get by marrying you?"

He scowled and turned his head away, "It's not marriage. It's an engagement. Something that temporarily binds us or do u not know what marriage is you big BABY."

Even when explaining shit, he still mocks me, "How dare you! I know what marriage is! And you didn't answer my question or are you deaf gramps!"

He tsked, "All Might has a point, people will be after you. Just to take hold of your estate and title and I'm the best candidate in keeping them at bay so be grateful to me got it?" He smirked, raising his head full of pride.

I raised an eyebrow at this, "Okay...and what do YOU get out of this. Last time I checked, marriage was the last thing on your mind."

"Engagement."

"Whatever."

He got up and started pacing, "You're a chick repellent yourself brat. The way those noble ladies think you're some witch who curses everyone with death. Heh... I don't have to worry about that old hag setting me up with some other rando either."

He walked to the balcony railing, glaring at the people below, "Bloody snakes."

I silently made my way towards him, propping myself up onto the stone railing and looking down at the nobles laughing their worries away, drunk, lazy.

Pathetic.

Shaking away that ominous thought, "What makes you trust me enough to engage with me?"

"I don't trust you."

Now I was silent.

Ofcourse, how can I forget. Bakugo doesn't trust easily, no one hardly comes in that category except the few that have been with him through it all.
