Crimson Eyes {{Katsuki Bakugo X Reader}}

17 *edited*

It was a nice Wednesday morning. I walked up to the school entrance and was expecting to see Mina waiting outside again, but instead saw Kacchan leaning against the wall. I debated on walking up to him and seeing why he was standing there. Suddenly his eyes landed on me and walked up in his signature slouchy "tough guy" walk.

"fucking took you long enough," he growled.

"um... w-were you waiting?" I asked hesitantly.

"No shit dumbass. who did you think I was talking to?" Even this early in the morning Kacchan is as grouchy as ever.  I gave him a sleepy smile.

"Thank you, Kacchan." He quickly looked away, still acting tough.

"Whatever just get walking." we walked beside each other through the school. I didn't really say anything, because i had the feeling he didn't really want to talk. I checked my phone and saw mina texted saying she was running 5 minutes late and for me to go on without her. I giggled to myself imaging her saying that in a dramatic way. "The fuck you laughing at?" We walked into the fairly empty classroom as i responded.

"Just mina. She's funny." He rolled his eyes, and to my surprise walked me over to my desk. I sat down and started to grab my supplies for the upcoming classes. 

"so you're all buddy-buddy with her now?"

"I guess so," i said smiling to myself. it was so comforting to have a female friend. I looked down into my bag to grab my pencil pouch, when i heard a very aggravated Kacchan say

"The fuck you want Half and Half?" I looked up at todoroki had walked over and was meeting Kacchans gaze.

"Im not here for you," he simple stated, with a hint of annoyance ever so present in his tone. He then looked down at me. "(y/n), do you need another penicil today?" I could feel the tension in the air smack me like a train. Kacchan started to get defensive.

"If she needs one she'll ask me," he barked. Todoroki didn't even looked at him and kept talking to me, thus fueling Kacchan's rage even more.

"I don't mind lending you one again, should you need it," he calmly said. It was like he didn't even acknowledge Kacchan, and something told me that was in fact what was going on. I could practically see every vein in Kacchan's neck popping out. He started raising his hand, preparing to use his quirk.

"Did you not hear me you fucking assho-

"Its ok! I remembered today!" I blurted rather loudly while holding my pencil pouch up. I was trying my best to diffuse the situation. 

"see she doesn't need you," Kacchan sneered. This caught Todoroki's attention, and his glare.

"Oh? And i suppose you think she needs you?" he said with a hint of venom in his voice. This remark caught Kacchan off guard, and that made him kick into full throttle rage.

"LISTEN HERE FUCK FACE! IF YOU DONT SHUT THE HELL UP RIGHT NOW I'LL FUCKING KILL YOU!" he threatened with little explosions going off in his palms. Todoroki didn't even bat an eye.

"Sounds a little villainous, don't you think Bakugo?" Oh no. People calling Kacchan a villain always sent him over the edge. He was about to try and fight, when suddenly Mr Aizawa's voice cut through the air.

"Thats more than enough." we all looked over at him and he had is erasure quirk activated. All the other students had arrived and class was ab out to start. I mentally thanked him a million times over for stopping the escalation.

Morning classes ended up being very uneventful, much to my appreciation. I paid close attention to the lessons and tried to act like the before class antics didn't happen. At lunch I was dragged away by Mina to sit with all the girls again. As we took our seats all their eyes were on me.

"Ok, what was that about this morning?" Mina asked.

"yeah, Bakugo got really fired up, Ribbit."

"It was kinda scary," Uraraka said with a nervous laugh.

"It was too early for all that," Jiro added, with Yaoyorozu nodding in agreement.

"What started it?" Hagakure asked. They all leaned in closer to hear my response. I blushed really bright red.

"i... i honestly don't know. Kacchan was just talking to me when Tododoki walked over..."

"and?" they all asked in unison

"he asked if i needed to borrow a pencil again, because I had forgotten mine before and he let me borrow one.." they all nodded following along. "Kacchan didn't like that so he snapped at todoroki, who ignored him. So Kacchan got more upset." 

"No surprise," Jiro mumbled, causing a giggle from all of us. I continued.

"He snapped at Todoroki, who surprisingly snapped back, and i think you all saw the rest..." I finished softly feeling embarrassed about the situation all over again.

"Oh. My. God," Mina said with a dropped jaw.

"I'm not surprised by Bakugo getting upset, but Todoroki too?"  Yaoyorozu said, trying to evaluate the whole ordeal in her head.

"Sounds like a drama," Hagakure said sympathetically, earning some "mm-hmms" from Uraraka and Tsu.

"girls, you're missing the point!" Mina gasped.

"there's a point?" Jiro asked in confusion. Knowing exactly were mina was going with this i felt my chest tighten.

"They both like her!" She whispered excitedly as if it was the juiciest gossip in history. They all made a face of shock, as if it was such an obvious answer. I sunk down in my seat some. I didn't want this. They all bounced comments off each other and different takes on who liked me more, and theories on why one was better than the other. Suddenly there was a big pause in the conversation, and they all turned the attention to me. I knew they wanted my input, and i started to feel panicked by all the sudden attention. 

"do you have feelings for either?" Jiro asked calmly. I covered my face wishing to disappear. But i wanted to get this conversation over with, so i decided to answer.

"honestly, i don't really know how i feel." I slowly dragged my hands down my face in stress. "I grew up with Kacchan, and have known him for a long time. Honestly, i have liked him for a while.."

"But?" Yaoyorozu asked. I sighed.

"I don't really know Todoroki, so it's hard to really say. He's attractive sure. plus he seems polite and level headed, which Kacchan isn't exactly known for being. I would like to get to know him, in a friendly manor." I sat back in my chair and ran a shaky, stressed hand through my hair. "this is too much..." I grumbled. They all gave me sympathetic faces, sensing my distain for all of this. They changed the subject quickly to try and help me, and i appreciated it so much.

We got back to class and i felt a little better thanks to the girls. We all took our seats and waited for class to begin. As Mr Aizawa began to go over our afternoon schedule, All Might suddenly burst through the door. I felt my jaw drop. I was such a fan, a deeply looked up to him. He started going over what our subject was for the day- combat training. I felt butterflies in my stomach. He started to talk about how every hero needs a costume, and panels came out from the wall with cases. Each one held our hero costume. We all grabbed our assigned case and bolted to the changing rooms. All of us girls were excited and showing off our costumes to each other. My costume wasn't very complicated. I had a black bando- like top with a sweetheart neckline it was just a bit longer than a bando but still bery form hugging. it had a low back so i didn't have to worry about my quirk ripping my shirt. Over the top of it I had a light purple kimono-like cover that had a short hem. it had short, flowy sleeves and was opened in the front so i could easily shrug it off if i need to. I had it loosely held together in the front with my black utility belt. My shorts were black as well and came up to my mid hip bone and stopped mid-thigh. I wore fishnet mesh as knee-high socks and comfy combat boots. It wasn't meant to be super stylish, but rather logical and efficient for my quirk. That said, the girls seemed to love it. We all kept complimenting each other because lets be honest, we had super cool costumes! I was really looking forward to this training now.
