new girl in town (bakugou katsuki x reader)

46 - storytime

(y/n) p.o.v.

Is he serious?

In the back of my head, I wonder how . . . how okay this is.

Is it really ok for me to just leave? Isn't that a little selfish? Especially when I'm their only shot at getting answers?

I don't want to break the connection, but maybe I should. I lift my head and slightly pull away. Bakugou's hands slide down from my waist to my hips, not letting me get too far away. I rest my hands on his chest and he assures me, "Forget about everybody else for a second. If you don't want to do this, you don't have to."

I . . . don't know what to say.

I gaze into his soft crimson eyes, beautiful and haunting, yet full of sadness and pain.

I finally find my voice, "I don't think they'll let me leave."

He scoffs, "I dare them to try and stop us."

I lightly chuckle at his cockiness, it's oddly reassuring. If I decide to go through with this, I'd feel a lot better with him by my side. I feel like I can do anything when I'm with Bakugou. His confidence gives me confidence.

"I don't think I can be alone with Toru," he nods and waits to see if I'll continue, instead I look down at our feet. I can't believe I'm about to ask him this. I really hope he won't flat-out reject me. I let out a shaky breath, "Can you . . . be in there with me?"

I feel his body stiffen up and he doesn't respond, he just stays silent.

Yup, he's rejecting me. He's trying to find a way to let me down easy.

I can't believe I actually thought he would say yes. I shake my head at my stupidity. He's just being nice. They all are. If Bakugou hadn't whisked me away like a knight in shining armor, then I'm pretty sure one of the others would have.

I step away and try to get away from him, I don't want to make him any more uncomfortable than he already is. But he pulls me right back and embraces me in a tight hug once more. It's my turn to stiffen up.

Does he really have to hug me while he tells me to fuck off and face Toru alone?

"You really are an idiot."

My heart stops. Here it comes.

"I was planning on going with you this entire time."

My jaw drops and I calmly search his face for any signs of deceit. I don't find anything, but sincerity.

He's telling the truth. Huh, go figure.

He smirks at my reaction, "What? You really thought I was gonna leave you alone with that fucker?"

Kinda, ya.

I just blink at him, not able to produce any sound from my lips.

Then his forehead creases, "I'm actually a little offended that you thought I would."

Oh no. Is he mad? Please, don't be mad at me. I can't take that right now.

But before I can start spouting apologies, he playfully smirks and winks at me. Was he faking that?

Ha, no way.

Who would've thought that Bakugou Katsuki could act?

I can't stop the smile that forms on my face. 

My eyes twinkle with amazement as I cheerfully gush, "I think you and I are gonna be best friends."

His smirk slowly fades away and is soon replaced with a sad smile.
