Paralyze |Bakugou Katsuki x Male!Reader|

39

When the alarm went off, I groaned and rubbed my eyes, turning around to sleep some more, but a soft hand touched my hair and then the alarm was shut off.

"Come on, (M/n), we have school," Katsuki said in my ear making shivers run down my spine, and I hugged his waist, lowering myself to hide in his chest.

"I don't wanna~" I whined while pecking his exposed skin. When I felt Katsuki's hand on my side, my mind went like, 'Oh, he changed his mind and will stay with me'.

But nope.

First, it was the burnt smell and then my skin getting a bit warmer, until at last, it made me jump from his bed and take my t-shirt off.

"Katsuki!" I yelled at him, and he just laughed sitting up, resting his weight on one arm.

"That's what you get for not listening to me." I groaned and walked into his bathroom to look at the new burn on my side.

It wasn't really big, Katsuki made the heat focused just in one place of his palm but it burned. Really badly.

"There's an ointment for burns under the sink," I looked at my boyfriend, standing against the door frame and pointing to said sink.

"Thank you, sweetie," I said sarcastically and he laughed, walking away, probably to get changed. I found the ointment and rubbed a bit on the burn, putting it back in its place when I was done. I walked out, and I saw Katsuki on his bed, sitting crisscrossed and looking at his phone. "I'm going to my room to change."

"Why? You can borrow one of my shirts." I glanced at him and then at his closet.

"Your clothes are tiny." He growled and stood up, walking to one of his dressers and opening it.

"That's a lie, you are just a robust guy who doesn't like wearing tight clothes." For a moment my aura went depressed. "What now?"

"You indirectly called me fat, didn't you?" Katsuki groaned in a frustrated way and threw his t-shirt at my head.

"Wear it before I get you real burns," he went back to sit on his bed and I sighed. The t-shirt was black and said All Might on the front, I snickered and put it on. It was tight, but it also was bigger than the rest of Katsuki's t-shirts, so I didn't complain. "Now I have a new wallpaper." Katsuki hummed as he walked out of his room, probably to eat breakfast.

"What...? Katsuki, what do you mean?" I followed him and looked over his shoulder, staring at his phone screen which was in sight. Instantly my body felt like it was on fire and I covered my face. "I look awful, why, Katsuki~, change it, please." The wallpaper was a picture of me.

I was standing with the shirt in my hands about to put it on and my body was visible.

"My boyfriend has a fuckboy body, how lucky am I," Katsuki got in the elevator by himself and I just stood in the middle of the hall, contemplating life and death.

"Hey, Katsuki..." I trailed on, slowly walking behind him. Eijiro looked at me and Katsuki just hummed.

"Oi, pay attention to him," Eijiro nudged him, probably because I was looking down at my shoes, standing still.

"What?" I flinched a bit at Katsuki's voice but I just gripped my backpack's strap. "(M/n)...?"

"Can you leave us alone for a bit, Eijiro?" I glanced at him, the red-head was confused for a bit, but smiled and nodded.

"Don't take too long or you'll be late for class." He added before walking ahead.

I stood in front of Katsuki and held his hand. "You know about..." my words got stuck in my throat. I wasn't sure why I couldn't ask him, it's not like I wasn't aware, Izuku explained it to me last night, "About... All Might and Iz... Izuku, right?" I looked up at him, and he was staring confused at me.

"What do you mean?" My eyes stared down again.

"About Izuku being All Might's successor..." I whispered and I heard his breath hitch.

"What are you talking about, (M/n)...? Ha, you're funny today," I held his wrist before he walked away.

"Izuku told me already, I just wanted to make sure what he said was true, about you knowing it too," he groaned and kicked a pebble on the ground.

"Yes, I know. But how did you find out, anyway? Did that asshole's tongue went loose again?" I chuckled but shook my head.

"I kinda... overheard a conversation..." he stared at me and then scoffed, looking ahead.

"That asshole again... it's supposed to be a secret, and there he goes, talking about shit with unknown people," I chuckled at that and stood beside him, wrapping my arms over his shoulder and shuffling his soft spiky hair. "What-?! What's wrong with you?! Stop it, (M/n)!" I laughed and made him walk with me towards U.A. where Eijiro was waiting for us at the entrance, along with the rest of the Bakusquad.

"What were you two talking about?" Mina asked us and I just shrugged, like it was nothing important.

"About homework." And that was when three of them screeched.

"There was homework?!" I couldn't contain my laugh when Kaminari, Mina and Eijiro yelled at the same time, gripping their hair, and Sero laughed too.

I heard Katsuki chuckling beside me and I looked at him, smiling softly. "I love you," I whispered into his ear and he went silent, blushing furiously and pushing my arm away from him.

"What are you doing?!" He yelled and I cracked with laughter again, the rest of the squad now staring at us, soon laughing too, Katsuki was trying to contain his smile, but he showed us a tiny grin. "You all really are dumbasses, fucking hell, let's go already." Katsuki walked ahead of us and I went to stand by his side, Eijiro on his opposite side, Mina beside him, and Sero standing with Kaminari at my side. And like that, we entered U.A. talking and goofing around the halls together, heading to our classroom while everybody stared at us as if we were aliens or something weird.

It was during moments like these where I couldn't stop thinking about Hitoshi... it seemed like only yesterday was the Sports Festival. It's been so long. I have to talk with him. I shouldn't let my transfer get in the way of a twelve-year friendship.

//////

I can't...

My thumb was hovering over the send button, but I just couldn't do it.

Hitoshi wasn't the type to hold resentment or anything like that but... I'm scared.

Because even if don't talk at all, we're still best friends. What scares me it's the thought, that maybe, if I talk to him, he wouldn't want anything to do with me and we won't be friends ever again. So I'm gonna wait a bit more until my cowardly self goes away.

And like that, I closed the messaging app and focused on what the boys were talking about during lunch. Katsuki was looking at me, and I just smiled at him, he tsked and turned away, but I felt his hand touching mine under the table, a tingly feeling there where his touch graced my skin. I bit my bottom lip, and slowly, hold Katsuki's hand, intertwining our fingers.

That's how we spent our lunch, talking, laughing and playfully arguing.

Don't hate Paralyze for forgetting about Hitoshi...

Because I was the one who forgot about him 🙂
