Paralyze |Bakugou Katsuki x Male!Reader|

75

Time passed as I was still sitting on the couch with Katsuki asleep on my lap, I talked a bit with Eijiro, sometimes with Jiro too, discussing the song and whatnot until I saw Yaomomo coming in followed by Sato and Koda, each one carrying a box.

The dancing team had two of those boxes, while the band and stage team had the last one, and that's when I saw them taking the clothing from inside.

"Come on, (M/n), we have to get dressed." I nodded at Mina and looked down at my lap where Katsuki was still fast asleep. I took a quick glance around the common room, noticing that everyone was focusing on getting dressed, I leaned down and placed a kiss on his temple, moving his hair away from his face.

"Wake up, puppy~," I whispered in his ear, caressing his skin softly. He frowned slightly, blinking and looking up at me. I smiled at him and kissed the tip of his nose, "Get up, baby. I have to change." He growled and sat up, rubbing his face and yawning, I stood up and walked towards where Mina left my outfit. I grabbed it and walked to the first-floor bathroom.

When I got dressed and looked at myself in the mirror...

Why does it have to be yellow? Why? Who designed this?

Now I was dreading this performance even more. I have to dance and sing... with this outfit on?

Oh god.

I took a deep breath and decided to just walk out either way, I wasn't the only one wearing this, after all. Well, I was already nervous and when I walked into the common room I heard how everyone was trying to calm their own nerves. I walked and sat next to Katsuki again when I overheard something that I hadn't realized until now.

"Midoriya isn't back yet?" I turned to look at the rest of the dance team, and I realized that Izuku had left an hour ago, and... he hadn't come back yet. Did something happen?

Just thinking about anything going wrong made me feel even more nervous than before.

Like that, half an hour passed, and it already was 9 a.m, everyone was in the dressing room, waiting for Izuku who wasn't here yet, and my heart was racing inside my chest as I felt nervous and worried about the green-haired male. I flinched when I heard Present Mic announce the start of the Festival, which made me feel more on edge.

I looked around and spotted Katsuki, so I dragged my feet towards him and stood close to him, at least he could work as moral support. I could feel his crimson eyes glancing at me every now and then in complete silence until he nudged my side slightly. My (e/c) eyes shifted to look at him, trying to show him a smile.

"Why are you so nervous?" A breathy chuckle left my lips and I swallowed my saliva, looking down at the ground.

"I-it's just... I ha-have to dance and si-sing... I'm kinda scared, p-puppy." I bit my lip feeling my hands shaking, I was starting to feel my breath speeding up and I was getting lightheaded.

My vision was turning dizzy when I felt a tight hold on my hand, I tensed and looked to my side. Katsuki was looking away with a subtle blush on his cheeks, biting his lip and stroking the back of my hand with his thumb. A small smile grew on my face when I saw his shy expression.

I moved my arm back, pulling him closer to me and making him face me. I leaned down and kissed him deeply. He gasped against my lips, his eyes wide and his free hand on my chest, trying to push me away. After a few seconds, I broke our kiss and stared into his wide crimson eyes.

"I love you, Katsuki," he ended up choking on his words, blabbering nonsense until he just covered his face with his free hand, making me chuckle at his reaction.

We stayed there at the back, resting against the wall, while the stage and band team put on their orange t-shirt. Well, Katsuki was the only one who didn't want to wear it, but he'll have to eventually.

Like thirty minutes later, the feeling of panic came back because Midoriya wasn't here yet, and Sero explained it to Aizawa when he came to check up on us. Togata senpai and Eri were here too, I smiled at her and she waved her little hand at me.

Time went by until it was almost time for us to go on stage. I was nervous, once again, but at least seeing Kaminari force Katsuki to wear the t-shirt made me feel a bit more relaxed. When there were ten minutes left, Yuga decided to leave and wait for Izuku outside.

And like a miracle, as everyone was leaving the changing room, I decided to stay behind a bit longer to wait for Yuga to come back, and far ahead I saw them. He and Izuku were running with Ectoplasm sensei right behind them, and they stopped right outside the door to walk in, that's when I saw the greenette's state.

"What happened to you, Izuku?" I dragged him inside quickly, getting stuff to clean the dirt and blood on his face, he let out a quiet chuckle while he began taking off his dirty clothes.

"Don't worry, (M/n)-kun, I'm fine." He answered as he started to get dressed in the performance outfit. "By the way, shouldn't you be with the others? Why are you still here?"

"Because I was worried about you, dummy. Now, quick, get dressed so we can go. We'll barely make it," I helped Izuku get dressed, fixing his outfit and tying his tie, I tried to fix his curls a bit but that didn't really work.

"We have to go, guys." I held Izuku's hand as we followed Yuga to the gym where we'd be performing, and we got there just in time. Everyone was already in their positions, so we rushed to our positions on the stage. I was standing between Yuga and Shoji, at least for the intro of the song.

When Yaomomo saw me, she rushed to me and helped me put on the wireless microphone she made for me. I made eye contact with Katsuki while she was doing so, and he smiled at me, making me blush and smile back.

Momo went back to the keyboard when she made sure my mic was on and the curtain started to open, revealing all of us standing on the stage.

I took a deep breath and gulped when I saw everyone in the audience. That's a lot of people... but, Eri is here too, I could see her clearly. I smiled when I saw her being carried by Togata senpai, and I got ready for the song to start.
