realities. (bakugou x reader)

part 21

y/n's pov

i woke up at my normal time, and started my morning. it wasn't until i got to the bathroom that i realized how much i messed up. now that my hair was growing back out, it became abundantly clear how badly shigaraki had killed my hair. it could have been worse but he was no great hairstylist. 0/10. 

i decided that after school i'd have to go get a haircut and get it fixed. but for now i'll have to put it up and call it good. i finished getting ready and left early, as per usual. i walked the path to the school and began prepping the classroom for the day. 

hero work studies would begin soon, but if i remember correctly, todoroki and bakugou wouldn't be working with any heroes because they didn't get their hero licenses. they'll be doing extra classes instead of the work studies. 

i got everything set up and then i watched everyone start trickling into the classroom. no early bakugou though, since he was still suspended for another day. midoriya had come back from his suspension with the same smile though. he was the first one in the classroom today. 

"hey midoriya, how're you holding up? you okay?" i asked him, still writing the lesson on the board.

"hi y/n! good morning! yeah of course i'm okay, why wouldn't i be?" he responded.

"well you have so much on your plate all the time and nobody knows it except for you know who, and not even they really check up on you."

"i guess you're right. yeah i'm okay. i just feel bad that bakugou has been dealing with this all on his own."

"I understand. it's not your fault though, okay? he's learning. he'll come around, trust me." i said with a smile. he nodded, and then more people started arriving. 

i carried on the day normally, ready to go home. my hair had been making me feel upset all day because it looked bad. i was tired of having problems with my life. it was one thing after another. 

it's alright. i'm not gonna let this inconvenience make me spiral. i thought to myself as i took a deep breath. 

soon enough the school day ended and i walked back to the dorms. i went back up to my room to find bakugou reading on his bed. "hey katsuki, how was your day alone?" i asked as i set my things down and went to change in my closet.

"so you're back huh? it was fine. not like cleaning will get the best of me. still annoying as hell how filthy everyone is though. quite frankly if i have to clean up someone elses mess one more time im gonna lose it."  he responded, loud enough so that i could hear him through the door. 

i came out of the closet and sat on his bed, leaning against him. "seems like you need to get out of the house! speaking of, i desperately need a haircut and i can't leave on my own so we need to go out." 

"why me? why can't you get raccoon eyes or something to go with you?" he protested, however not rejecting the fact that i was leaning on him.

"because you're the one thats supposed to go with me in-case you need to protect me from evil! remember?" i said in a teasing tone. 

he rolled his eyes and groaned. "you can't wait until the damn weekend?"

"look." I said. i let my hair down and ruffled it. then i flipped it back and grabbed his hand and put it on the back of my head, and then faced my back to him so one, he could feel how dead and gross it was and two, he could see how choppy and butchered it was. 

i figured he'd just take his hand off my head immediately in retaliation, but i felt his hands feel around my hair gently like he was actually checking out the damage. "it really got dried out back then huh...well i guess it wouldn't of happened if it weren't for me, so fine. i'll take you to get a damn haircut. let me change and we'll go."
