Protect me || Dekubaku

Chapter 6 - Safety and Comfort

Bakugou's Pov:

I hear more and more people scream as the gunshots get closer. I can hear people's heavy footsteps as they run for the exit or somewhere, anywhere to hide from the gunman. I try to focus on calming my breathing but it's quite hard when the only thing around me is panic and chaos. Gunshots sound from the other side of the building and I wondered if the police had arrived and were opening fire on the intruder. I pray that they are and briefly wonder if they have identified the killer, what if they mistake a student or teacher for the attacker? I shake my head to clear the thoughts. What if they thought Deku was the gunman? He carries a gun for safety, I still don't know why he needs one but he promised me it was only for defensive reasons and I blindly trusted him on that, what if he tries to shoot the attacker? What if he gets hurt... I quickly shake my head with a small whimper, no, that won't happen, he said he will come get me and that's what he is going to do without a doubt in my mind.

I jump from my skin and let out a very high pitched scream when the door to my class busts open and slams into the wall, leaving a large hole in the plaster. The teacher screamed as well and I would have felt sorry for the old man if I wasn't already concerned about my own heart failure. I risk a glance at the door to see none other than Deku, the only person I was really and I mean really happy to see. He scans the room quickly before his eyes land on me. His eyes were so beautiful they were breathtaking but I did not have time to be cooing over my boyfriend's eyes. I could be killed any minute now if that psycho freak downstairs decided he was bored and wandered up here.

I attempt to stand but wobble and almost fall over, I correct myself and run into his arms as he walks over much calmer. He pulls me in by the waist and holds me firmly against him with my face buried in his neck. It helped calm my panic but only by a little bit because the gun shots sounded like the were getting closer and I was not at all in the right frame of mind to be dealing with this rationaly so I just opted for clinging onto to deku for dear life and letting him drag me out of the room and rush me down the hallway. Even though he was practically dragging and carrying me at the same time, he was very careful with me and made sure I didn't get hurt or trip over anything. I wonder how he is even seeing the ground properly because he was moving so fast.

He leads me down the fire escape stairs with his arm still wrapped protectively around my waist. There's a sleek, black and very expensive looking car parked in the school lot and a million thoughts go through my head. That is not the car he drove us here in, did he call someone? Does he just have people he can call for things like this? That really makes me wonder how common things like these are if he just has a driver waiting around at any moment. He pulls me over to it and a tall man dressed in a stylish black suit steps out of the passenger side and opens the back door, politely standing to the side like a gentleman. Deku gently pushed me into the car as he said a few rushed and hushed words to the gentleman and stepped in as well. The moment the gentleman returns to his seat, the car is speeding off down the road and far away from that school.

Now that I'm in a safe environment I finally have time to have a proper breakdown and slowly start to sob before eventually breaking down completely. Deku pulls me onto his lap, completely ignoring the seat belt and hugs my tiny frame to his muscular body. I clutch onto his shirt and stuff my face in his neck, my newly discovered favourite hiding place.

Once we got home, Deku immediately started fussing over me and made me take a shower to 'wash the stress away' which I honestly found quite cute. I took the shower and thoroughly enjoyed the hot water running down my tired body. Once I had washed myself, I decided to switch to the bath to soak in for well over an hour. I almost fell asleep several times but startled awake each time my head hit the rim of the tub.

I finished my bath with a sigh and really wished I could just sleep in the tub of gloriously hot and lovely scented water. But I know Deku will come to find me and he won't be happy about the fact I could drown if I actually fell asleep. Unfortunately though I was very hungry and I was missing my boyfriend's cuddles. I trudged out of the bathroom and through our bedroom over to our huge closet, looking through my options I decided I didn't like any of my clothes so I stole a full set of Dekus instead. They were huge on me and made me feel safe and secure which I absolutely loved. They smelled like him too which was a huge bonus. I gave my hair one last wipe with my soft towel, shoved my teddy bear slippers on my feet and almost tripped out of the room and stumbled down the stairs, eager to see my boyfriend again after the stressful day. I've come to realise that a hug can fix a lot of problems in life. Like a lot of problems. Cuddles are an A + on this scale, should be doctor recommended.

Running into the kitchen I spot him cooking something and don't hesitate to wrap my small arms around his muscular waist, hugging him from the back. He turns around with a smile and wraps one arm around me as the other holds onto the pan of bacon. My mouth waters as he pulls his arm back and turns off the stove.

He placed my serving on a nice green plate and I would have almost eaten it right then and there if not for the deep chuckle of amusement my chef of a boyfriend let out.

He leads me out of the kitchen and down the hallway to the lounge room. I flop onto the couch and immediately start scoffing down my food like a starving dog. He laughs silently and loads a random show on the t.v, the intro song was an absolute banger so that made my morning even better. After finishing my food I decided to finish watching the episode with Izuku. I could already tell for half a episode that I was going
to be hooked on this new show like it's my life source.

Izuku eventually gets up and takes our plates out and back down to the kitchen. I barely realise he's gone because I'm so gobsmacked that they killed off the attractive side character. I was honestly in shock, he was the jokester, the passion and the sass of this show, he gave life to this show and lifted it up from its dark and miserable hole. I honestly don't know if I can continue to watch the show after that- okay... that's a little over the top but you know what I mean.

Izuku came back after a minute and sat down next to me, I immediately snuggled into his side with my head resting on his shoulder, turning my eyes back to the show. I must have been falling asleep on his shoulder because I could hear the t.v get turned off and the glorious soft lips of my boyfriend as he gave me a love filled kiss on the forehead.
