Liability ~ Bakugo X OC

Liability

"She woke up last night. No, she's asleep now but I'll keep you posted. Yessir," Bakugo said.

    Yuki stirred. She looked over and noticed Kirishima was gone and Bakugo paced back and forth across the room. "Katsuki?"

    "Oh my—Haruta, she's awake. She's actually awake. Talk to her, I'll go grab that shitty nurse."

    Bakugo handed his phone to Yuki before he cupped her cheek. His gaze was so gentle, like if he was harsh with her, she'd faint for another eight days. The cold froze when Bakugo ran out the door.

Yuki slid the phone up. "Dad?"

    "Yuki?" Her father sounded like he was crying. "How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

"Yeah," Yuki said. "I'm okay. In pain, but okay."

Bakugo returned with a woman who's blouse was unbuttoned a little too far. She kept smiling at Bakugo, who did not look at her once. Instead, he watched Yuki. Worry poked at Yuki's mind like a child poking their parents. It was constant and insistent.

"I'm okay, Katsuki."

He shook his head and sat. The bed rose and the nurse plastered her sickly sweet smile across her face. Yuki hissed. Her ribs seared and she shook her head. The nurse immediately stopped.

    "Dynamight, I have to administer a pain shot. If you don't mind leaving the room."

    "No."

    "I insist. It's in an indecent location. I'm sure Miss Tanaka would appreciate the privacy."

    "There's no indecent part on her. I'm fine to stay," Bakugo grumbled.

    Yuki nodded her head. Jealousy from the nurse was an arrow hitting its target and Yuki couldn't contain herself from saying, "yeah, it's fine. He's seen every inch of me, it won't bother him."

    Bakugo found himself nodding proudly. Yuki rolled her eyes and the nurse frowned when she rolled Yuki to the side. The nurse pushed Yuki's hospital robe open and counted to three before injecting right above Yuki's butt, on the hip bone.

"Stay like this for ten minutes and when the pain eases a bit you may roll back onto your back," the nurse said and tucked the hospital gown back under Yuki.

    And then they were alone.

    Yuki's lip quivered. She faced away from Bakugo, but he quickly remedied that when he carried the chair around. He stared at her with his crimson eyes and exhaled slowly.

    "I know...I know you're in no condition to talk about anything," he began, "but dammit, Yuki, I thought you were dead."

Her eyes were cloudy and Bakugo wiped furiously at his own eyes. "You didn't respond and fuck..." Bakugo wiped his hands on his pants. "I didn't even think to check for a damn pulse. My fuck I'm a fucking idiot."

"It's okay—"

"Don't fucking say that!" Bakugo snapped. "It's not okay! Dammit, Yuki! The doctors said just three minutes earlier and there wouldn't have been a problem saving you. But you were so fucking gone when we got here they told us to prepare for the fucking worst. Riot and I were picking out your fucking funeral flowers four days ago."

"But I'm okay, Katsuki."

"No." Bakugo seemed like he were walking on thin ice and the only way to escape was to inevitably fall in the icy water. "I couldn't stop, Yuki. I couldn't fucking stop and think for one minute. I fucking killed him. I was so angry I killed that shithead. Did you know his name was Kazuhiro? He died a few afters we arrived. The other one's on life support still. The Tada's were gonna sue me but one strand of luck in this shit mess is they're not allowed to press charges because there's too many fucking witnesses. She's missing two fingers and three toes."

Sobs croaked like a rusty engine from Yuki.

"I thought you were dead and if Deku hadn't fucked me up, you would've been."

Finally, Yuki rolled on her back and lamely reached for Bakugo's hand. "We're okay, Bakugo. We're gonna be okay."

"How...how were you able to sit idly by every time I was in the hospital? I can't fucking stand it."

Yuki laughed. It was sad and full of tears, but she laughed. "It's because I know you're stronger than anything."

He shook his head. "I'm not strong. Not when it comes to you. You're my fucking liability."
