Bakugou Helps You With a Stalker

You were listening to [music of choice] as you walked back to the dorms at 5 A.M., having just finished a walk through the nearby park, when you noticed that one of the people you'd seen at the park was still behind you. You would've shrugged it off, except that he'd finished his walk the exact same time you'd finished yours, and you'd made many different turns along the way back, but he was still behind you. You pull out your phone, acting as if you're switching songs while you secretly open Bakugou's chat bubble. You call him, but act surprised, as if he'd called you randomly.

"Hey, babe. What's up?" You say loudly, looking up at the sky while discreetly glancing at the man behind you.

"What?" Bakugou's rough voice greets you as he picks up the phone. "Since when were we dating?"

"I'm heading back to the dorms now, don't worry. Just give me a few minutes." You speed up your walking, noticing the man speeding up as well. "You'll be waiting for me outside, right?"

"Why the heck would I be waiting for you? You just called out of the blue--" he cuts off suddenly, something clicking in his mind. "Is someone following you?" His voice is sharp, and you hear him stomping down the stairs at the other end of the line.

"Yeah, that's right. Oh, I'm almost at the dorms." You see U.A. a little ways off, sighing internally as your body relaxes just slightly.

"Listen, do not hang up. I will be at the gates in less than a minute. How far away are you?"

"Not long, now. I'd estimate about two more minutes," you say with a smile, noticing the man slow down slightly at the estimate of how long until you reach your destination. You speed up in response, and catch sight of Bakugou in short order. You hang up the phone, running up to him with a grin. "Babe!"

Katsuki hugs you, glaring at the man over your head as he pauses and turns around. He can feel you shaking in his arms, so he tightens his hold on you.

"Are you alright?" He asks in a low voice, glancing down at you in concern. "He didn't do anything, right?"

"Yeah, I'm alright. He didn't do anything to me." You let out a shaky breath, burying your face in his chest as you tremble. "I noticed him following me on my way back here. I almost blanked and just froze. It took all my willpower to keep it together..." You grip the back of his shirt tightly in your hands.

"Come on. Let's go inside," he says gruffly, leading you through the gate and closing it behind you. He holds your waist as the two of you walk back to the safety of the dorm building, only relaxing when you make it inside.

You immediately crumple in front of the door as soon as it shuts, the exhaustion weighing down on you as the adrenaline fades from your blood.

"[Name]? What happened?" You hear Momo's voice as you bury your head in your knees, just shaking your head.

"Ponytail girl, go get Aizawa. We need to talk with him." Bakugou demands, crouching down in front of you.

"What? Is everything okay?"

"Now." You hear the sharpness in his tone as he glances back at her.

"Uh-- yes. Alright." Momo hurries off, leaving the two of you alone in the entrance.

"[Name]. [Name], look at me," Bakugou says, glaring at you lightly.

You raise your head from your knees, looking at him tiredly with shimmery tear streaks on your face.

"[Name], Ponytail girl's getting Aizawa. We need to tell him what happened. And we should probably get you off the floor. Can you stand?" He asks, his eyes roaming over you as he assesses the state your in.

You swallow, nodding as you stand up shakily. You slam into the door as your knees give out, causing Bakugou to catch you.

"Idiot. That's not walking. You can't even stand," he sighs, shaking his head with a frown as he carries you into the common room.

"Sorry," you murmur as he sets you on the couch and sits next to you. "You're warm," you notice, leaning into him--much to his surprise.

"Tch," he clicks his tongue, looking away from you. "You're just freaking cold. What sort of idiot goes for a walk at 4 A.M. in the winter without a coat?"

"I was already through the gate by the time I realized how cold it was outside," you sigh happily, a smile touching your lips as he puts his arm around your shoulders. "You have no idea how nice that feels."

"Whatever," he murmurs as Aizawa walks into the common room, Momo trailing behind him.

"What happened?" He asks, directing his question to you as he notices how shaken up you look.

"Uhm, well, I just noticed a guy was following me on my way back from my walk this morning. I kinda feel like a fool, now, because I feel like I'm making a much bigger deal out of this than necessary...." You trail off, your cheeks heating up in embarrassment.

"You're not." Aizawa, Bakugou, and Momo say immediately, Momo looking at you worriedly while Aizawa and Bakugou give you a small glare.

"When did you notice him following you?"

"About seven minutes away from the dorms. He was behind me the whole time I was at the park, but I didn't realize he was following me for a while." You wrap your arms around yourself, looking at the floor. "I called Bakugou as soon as I realized, then. He met me at the gate, and the guy turned around and walked away."

"Quick thinking," Aizawa approves with a nod. "What did the guy look like?"

"Uhm... I think he was about 5'7 with brown hair. He had a, uhm... a red hoodie on, I think?" You frown as you try to recall what he looked like through your hazy memory.

Bakugou nods. "Red hoodie, black cap, and he had a stubble for facial hair. I couldn't see his eye color, though. He was too far away to see that clearly."

"Alright. I'll send that out to the police, tell them to keep an eye out for that man. In the meantime, [name], you're dismissed from class for today. You're welcome to come, but you don't need to. Next time you go out, though, take someone with you. We don't know if he's targeting you specifically, people that fit your profile, or just anyone walking alone. Understood?"

"Yes, sir." You nod. "Bakugou, will you accompany me on my walks when I restart them?"

Bakugou looks surprised, but nods anyway. "Sure. No one'll dare touch you when I'm here." He grins, a malicious look in his eye.

"Thank you, Bakugou." Aizawa nods, feeling better now the he knows you'll be accompanied by someone. "I'm going to go report this to Nezu, and we'll talk to the police about it in a couple hours. Get some food and warm up, [name]. You look like you've seen a ghost." He sighs, muttering to himself as he walks off.

"Ah, yes, Sensei!" You call out, leaning into Bakugou some more as he leaves.

"I'll go brew you some tea and make breakfast, [name]. Anything you want?" Momo asks sweetly, hesitating between the common area and the kitchen.

"Just some [breakfast item], please, if that's okay." You rub your eyes tiredly, your head on Bakugou's shoulder.

"Alright. I'll be back with your tea." Momo heads into the kitchen as she prepares your food and drink.

"Hey, don't fall asleep on me," Bakugou complains, noticing how you looked like you were going to pass out at any second. "I don't want to have to carry you to your dorm!" He nudges you with a glare.

"Sorry," you yawn. "You're just... so... warm..." You doze off on him, exhaustion overtaking you.

"Great," you hear Bakugou mutter before you pass out. "Now I'll have to carry you again," he grumbles, though he seems to not sound too upset about this.
