Metamorpho (Mha x OC)

Chapter 16: Bored outta my mind - Oh hey Bakugou?

Days go by since I started going back to school. I caught up with all the schoolwork I'd missed with ease. Moving around was a hassle, but I got by. Aside from homework, Mr. Aizawa explained to me what's been going on while I was away. Everyone's been training because the UA sports festival was coming up. This fact alone made me determined to heal myself faster. I doubled my treatments with Recovery Girl, no matter how hesitant or against it she was.

I couldn't miss the sports festival, it's way too important. And I'm not going to hinder any of my chances of healing regularly, risking the possibility of having any residual aching due to my injury. I made sure to get plenty of rest and even began eating more than I already do, along with focusing on the foods that'll boost and replenish my energy levels so so my quirk wouldn't do me any harm.

I had gone back to eating alone. But with my bruised ribs, I didn't bother going outside. I just ate my lunch in the classroom.

Right now the class was once again training outside on Mr. Aizawa's 'watch.' Everyone was training their powers or physical abilities on their own or with a partner or two, while he slept peacefully in his sleeping bag that I guess he just carries everywhere.

I get that sleep is precious- he's said that once before -and I get that. I do. For the love of Kami, I'm a cat. I know a thing or two about loving your cat naps. But this is ridiculous.

But who am I to complain- I think he's got a soft spot for cats or something. I don't know if it's just because I'm injured or because I took out one of the biggest threats during the USJ incident, but I kind of felt like I was getting special treatment.

I don't bother asking him for permission to eat in class, or if I could leave for a few minutes to go to Recovery Girl because he said that it was just as necessary as his sleep. Uh-huh, sure.

Had I known being a kitty got you brownie points or a discrete form of favoritism from this guy, I would have wanted these ears and this tail a long time ago!

He might love cats as much as Sebastian Michaelis! As long as he doesn't start petting me, we're all good.

But I was bored out of my mind. I was pretty certain that I was almost healed up completely, and that I would only need another 2 sessions with Recovery Girl. Yet he still won't let me participate.

So here I am, sitting up straight on the bench, 'reading' The Woman in the Window, while my eyes trail now and then off the pages, glancing at my classmates and their training. I tried all I could to not think about that conversation with All Might and that encounter with Bakugou. But it kept slipping into my thought now and then.

Just when I finally managed to keep my eyes on the book, and my mind finally went along with the storyline; someone ends up sitting next to me, drinking water.

I didn't have to look up to know who it was. I felt their energy level, and their scent flooded my nose. Burnt sugar, very much similar to caramel, and dry wood.

I know a while back during the exercise I was mentally gagging when I followed Bakugou and Izuku's scent, but it was more against the thought of smelling a guy's BO rather than having a problem with the smell. I mean, who willingly enjoys the idea of smelling sweat? No matter what the fragrance, the idea is just gross.

"Well, you look bored outta your fucking mind." He spoke in his bland tone. I didn't think he was talking to me. "The fuck are you reading?"

"A book," I said as I tried to keep my eyes on it. "I hope you're smart enough to know what it is. Then again, I've never seen you pick one up before unless you were throwing it at someone's face."
