Chapter 34

Well, you did it. You are wearing the swimsuit and staring at yourself in the mirror. Before you can let your brain run wild and convince yourself to show up to the hot tub in sweatpants and a sweater, you cover yourself with your towel and begin heading over.

You troll cautiously down the hall, looking around to see if anyone's upstairs right now. Thankfully, no one was there. That means that they're either all on the main floor or already in the hot tub. You reach the elevator, stepping inside before accidentally getting a glimpse of yourself in the mirror along the wall.

The towel doesn't help very much, as you can see every bruise and gash on your arms, legs, and chest. But it covers your most of your back and stomach for now. You look upwards, watching the number of the floors flick from floor two to floor one before the elevator dings and the door is already opening.

Immediately your eyes scan the area downstairs, and no one is there. You let out a breathe of held in air before walking out.

"Hey." Your soul leaves your body. You jump so hard you expected to fall to the ground when you saw Bakugo standing to the side of the elevator. You notice that your towel fell to the floor and Bakugo's eyes fall down to look at your outfit. Your cheeks turn red, and you wrap your arms around your waist and look away.

"I look like a zombie," you mumble, Bakugo stays silent. You feel like you're about to cry, you don't know what to say. Or if he will say anything. He wears black swim shorts with a green waist band, a towel hangs around the back his neck and he wears black slides.

"Turn around," Bakugo speaks. You look up and glare at him for a moment before you see the look in his eyes. It's not full of heat or lust, but instead he looks like he's sadly admiring you. You slowly turn around and keep your head to the floor.

You close your eyes, you can feel his eyes on you. And suddenly you wish you could read minds, just to know what he is thinking right now.
You close your eyes before tensing your back when you feel Bakugo's warm hands delicately touching your skin.

He runs fingers very gently from stitch to stitch on your back. Your breath increases and he can start to feel your body anxiously shake. His eyes and hands run from your back up to your bruised shoulders, down your discoloured arms and he grabs your left hand to turn you around. He kisses the cuts on your knuckles before looking down at your eyes.

Your head is still pointed downward as he towers over you. His hand is brought to under your chin and he lifts your face, he kisses your forehead.

"Beautiful," he whispers.

Suddenly, you hear a loud scream. It echoes down the hallway on the other side of the living room area straight to your ears. Bakugo flinches and steps away from you quickly, you look up to him and his eyes are wide and he looks... scared.

Quickly, you turn around to see Denki giggling, heaving and bolting into the living room. Kirishima laughs, running behind him. His arm is extended when he gets closer to Denki, chasing and attempting to reach out and tag him.

You let out breath of relief, quickly grabbing the towel off the floor and wrapping it around yourself again. You look up to Bakugo who looks like he's on the urge of a full blown panic attack.

"Hey guys!" Denki zooms past you, "Come to the hot tub!" He screams before both of the boys disappear down the hall again.

Before you can speak, Bakugo walks past you and straight down the hall. You stay still for a moment, your eyes watching him walk away.

What happened?
.
.
Bakugo already disappeared to the hot tub when you had walked over. Now you stand in the changing room, avoiding the mirror as you put your towel and slides on a shelf. You were quick to walk to the door that entered the hot tub, but froze when your hand wrapped around the metal handle.
