Heated- a Bakugou x Fem Reader

Chapter Seven: Winner's Streak

Thursday finally came, this week has been dragging by. Hopefully, Sensei would lift your house arrest to Bakugou's side soon. Avoiding him is as difficult as outrunning the plague. You manage to lose him and strut down the hallway feeling full of yourself. You turn the corner and come face to face with Sensei. His dull expression left you with a feeling of impending doom.

"Uh hello, Sensei."

"L/N."

You nod and walk calmly down the hall attempting to throw him off.

"Where's Bakugou?"

You stop quickly, turning around to make eye contact with Sensei.

"Uh, I, well...I ditched him."

"Funny isn't it? You spend the beginning of the year picking fights, and never failing an opportunity presented to you. But now you spend your time avoiding him. Did he finally scare you off, or even less possible, get through to you?"

You look at the ground scowling.

"Bit of both."

He chuckles softly and walks up to you, patting the top of your head.

"I know you're trying L/N, as hard as anyone else. These people, your classmates will be your only allies one day. It will be you versus all the bad this world will relentlessly throw at you for the rest of your life."

"Sensei, why did you put Bakugou and me together?"

"I think you can learn from each other. You are different in the right ways, and the same in the wrong ways. You can humble each other, and I can tell it's already happening with you."

You nod silently, he smiles and turns back around heading to the classroom. You let out a long sigh and head back to the courtyard. You turn the corner and nearly yelp as Bakugou's red eyes stare you down. I swear if one more person corner scares me!

"You think you can run from me?"

"Bite me."

"Hmmm, don't tempt me."

You roll your eyes and shove past him. He speaks up, bringing you to a halt.

"You think he's right?"

You look over your shoulder narrowing your eyes at him. Studying his expression before retuning his question.

"Do you?"

He smirks and walks up to you, backing you against the corridor wall.

"I think you're more scared than you let on. Scared to death to let anyone get close, to let them in. I think you're weak because if you ever took a chance it would kill you. I think I'm the last person to be worried about. Now here's my question."

He leans in closing the distance while staring into your E/C eyes intensely.

"What the hell makes you think I'd ever let anything happen to you?"

You stare at him quietly, your mind all but blank from his question. He stands up, taking a step back while holding his gaze.

"Class is going to start up, let's go."

You nod slowly while peeling yourself off the wall and following him to homeroom.

***After School***

          You walk up to Bakugou, who's sitting on the couch in the dorm. Midoryia looks over at you and smiles.

"Hey y/n."

"Sup."

"I was wondering if I could ask you a few questions about your quirk."
