Misuse of Power (Yandere My Hero Academia x F!Reader Oneshots)

Dark Horse (Bakugou Katsuki)

A request from my Quotev!

I'm not entirely sure how to write barbarians, so it might sound a little like a pirate- please forgive me XD

Title: Dark Horse

Pairings: Barbarian!Bakugou x Fairy! Reader

WARNINGS: Yandere themes, mentions of violence (not towards reader), Bakugou let her go you jerk

Summary: Bakugou is a bloodthirsty human and, you, a sweet animal-loving fairy. Can you really expect a barbarian to move on without you?

"So you wanna play with magic?

Boy, you should know what you're fallin' for

Baby, do you dare to do this?

'Cause I'm coming at you like a dark horse

Are you ready for, ready for

A perfect storm, perfect storm?

'Cause once you're mine, once you're mine

There's no going back"

-From "Dark Horse" by Katy Perry

It was no secret that Bakugou was a killer. A bloodthirsty beast of a man. A barbarian.

He lived his days like a carnivorous animal- ripping and tearing others apart for his own gain. Betraying his own comrades if necessary, killing his enemies with a savage, sadistic grin. Notoriously known throughout the world as a merciless monster. The only thing he cared about was wealth and materialistic treasures he took as his own by threats or his blade.

At least, that's what he thought.

He was sure his heart had rotten away and numbed to every human emotion long, long ago.

But then he saw you.

At first he'd thought you were just another village girl but, one day, when he'd been napping under a tree on a hill overlooking a meadow, he'd discovered that you were much more.

You sang a song with words he couldn't understand, and beautiful wings sprouted from your back. All of the animals in the area, even ones he hadn't seen before, ran or flew to you at full speed and waited for your attention.

After gently stroking the fur, feathers, and scales of each creature, you began to glow brightly, shrinking down to the size of a small mouse as your wings grew even larger. If Bakugou hadn't watched you transform, he'd assume he was just seeing a particularly beautiful butterfly.

At first, Bakugou was content to watch. He discovered that you did this multiple times a day and he tried to be present for each transformation. He discovered that you glowed at night. He discovered that you could talk to the animals that surrounded you.

He discovered that you made his heart twist and soar in ways he didn't think was possible.

Was it fascination that drove him to watch you? Magic was something many barbarians sought to control to multiply their powers. And fantasy creatures like you were beyond rare.

Somehow, he knew it was more than that. His dreams all featured you in his lap as he pet your soft flower-woven hair and delicate wings, after all.

He longed for you, but he couldn't bring himself to interrupt your routine, too content to watch you undisturbed like some sort of voyeuristic creep. However, his comrades grew restless staying in the same boring town, and Bakugou knew he had very little time left to watch you.

It made him feel sick, to think he'd have to leave you behind, the unexplored lands no longer bringing him any joy to think of. He went so far as to confide in his closest comrade, Kirishima, about you.

The redhaired barbarian grinned, his sharklike teeth glinting in the light, "Bring her with."

Bakugou wished he could bring you with him at your full size, but he doesn't know how to stop you from shrinking and escaping him or getting yourself hurt. Therefore, he only has one option.

You were never aware he was watching you when you did your daily rituals before, so perhaps you won't notice if he gets closer. If all goes well, you won't notice until it's too late.

Until the glass jar becomes your prison for the rest of your
