Fall. (K.Bakugou ff)

Chapter 20 | A Mare

*Unedited

Third Person's POV,

'You've returned, that's good.'

Yuki doesn't know where she was and who is this person talking to her.

Just, she could see that they were inside a laboratory. There were a lot of tubes and machines around.

'Fa...ther." she covered her mouth when she heard her voice but it wasn't her who talked. Roaming her gaze, she found a little girl in front of her. She was lying in a bed, the machines and tubes she saw earlier were connected to the little kid's head. Yuki trembled when she saw the tears coming out of the girl's eyes as she tried to lift her hands towards the man who she is calling her father.

She tried to squint her eyes to see the man's face but it was all blurred, like it was meant to be that way.

Suddenly, the machine made a blaring sound, it was deafening that she had to cover her both ears as she screamed from both pain and grief.

All of a sudden the lights in the room goes out engulfing the room in a horrifying darkness. It took a few seconds of silence before it decided to come back simultaneously with an element of surprise. It made her eyes widened in fear when the man who's face was previously blurred bolted up in front of her with a strangely unrecognizable face although stepping out of the shadows made his face a bit more visible. Yuki couldn't help but to let out a gasp. The unknown man had his face deformed, it was mostly made up of scar tissue that covers his entire head. But what's really more frightening was his presence. He gives off a very intimidating aura that is making the hair in her skin stand.

She stumbled down while trembling in lethal despair as she back away from the frightening existence towering over her but the man did not stop at that, instead, he squatted down to her level and touched the trembling girl's cheek revealing an antagonizing smirk pasted his lips as he gently whispered.

'...you have to do it for me, Yuki.'

His hand crawled its way to her stiffed neck, choking her with his large strong hand. He stood up slowly bringing her up too in the process. Yuki wasn't able to respond quickly when her feet were lifted from the ground. She squirmed from his strong grasp which only tightened as she continue to fight back despite the despair and fear that was ruling in her chest.

It heaved and heaved deeper as the time passes by, her tears escaping down her eyes... She was choking to death.

'Get back my quirk for me.'

At the cost of her breath, those were the last words she could hear as she loses her vision. The next second she woke up, she could feel the heavy emotions filling her chest, it was eating her up that she couldn't even notice she was covered with sweat sticking all over her.

Bakugou who was there in front of her right from the start calmed down too when he felt the danger gone away with her sleep.

"What happened to you, dumbass?" Bakugou was obviously concerned by the sudden change she had undergone. He saw all the squirming she did on her seat as she tried to breathe.

In fact, he tried to wake her up by shaking her hard but in no result would she open her eyes.

His questions though did nothing to get her attention, the girl was still out of her focus.

Sighing, Bakugou squatted down and leveled his face to hers.

"Hey... Breathe." He said as he tap her shoulder a little. He clearly doesn't know how to comfort someone but he too, had his own one or two dose of mares, sometimes it tend to go so bad, you can't decipher what's real or not. "Calm down..." He continues to give soothing words for a few minutes until Yuki finally manage to calm herself down, she stared into his red but soft looking eyes that she ended up crying silently, she held unto his nape and engulfed him in a little hug. "...it was so scary." She can only utter as she ended up in a sobbing matter.

Bakugou who only recovered afterwards gave her an awkward but soft pat in the back. "...E-everything will be fine, dumbass."

He doesn't really know why but he didn't like it when she cries.

A few minutes passed but the girl still didn't say anything and Bakugou was getting annoyed by their current position, he sat there awkwardly patting her back for quite long now but Yuki still ain't letting him go. It irked him, he felt something strange was going on since she really wasn't letting go and his conclusion's proven right when she heard her little snore.

The way she felt peaceful though made his heart beat loudly, but he dismissed such thoughts and took off her arms from his nape, he turned around in his position and lifted his hands to look at the watch in his wrist. Fortunately, it was time to go out. He decided not to leave the girl alone even though he wants too, since something like earlier can still possibly happen and so he wrapped her arms around his neck and carried her on his back. Surprisingly, Yuki wasn't heavy. Bakugou with the sleeping girl left out the detention room rather noisily as he kept complaining how she managed to irked him every single time.

Arriving at the dorm, eyes found Bakugou and stayed on his back where the sleeping Yuki could be found.

"What happened?" Kirishima asked wondering how he ended up carrying the girl.

But Bakugou can be really short tempered sometimes that he didn't answer Kirishima's question instead told the guy to follow him and open the girl's door.

Bakugou entered the room with the girl sleeping peacefully in his back. He was so annoyed. He was wondering to himself why he keep doing the girl favor when all she did to him was annoying him. Though in truth, he just probably can't admit to himself that he's getting used to her presence or that she's tolerable. It was fun being with her and she doesn't make him feel icky but calm and comfortable just sometimes she gets into his nerves but there's no freaking way he could tell that to himself. Not when he doesn't know what to feel about it.

He sat on the bed and remove the girl's arm around his nape and fixed her position in the bed. He huff in irritation as he stared at her.

'This brat.'

A fringe of hair had unknowingly made its way to the center of her face and seriously he was irked by it and has been hesitating for a while now whether to tidy up her messy hair or just let it be. Bakugou has not been, since the start, a messy type of person, he likes things organized, well except his hair, and a slight change to that order brings a deep crease in his forehead and thus, not being able to take it anymore, he brought his hand to her face and slipped that escaped fringe behind her ear.

The action made her move waking up slightly, so he retracted his hand immediately.

Blinking her eyes, she smiled a bright and peaceful one that it didn't feel like she was just crying moments ago.

"Thank you...once again." She muttered as sleep softly took her consciousness.

Her smile led him to turn his gaze away as it does something unexplainable in his chest. Bakugou lifted his hand to his chest feeling the slight thumping of his heart. He became more baffled as he glanced at the girl.

"What is this?" He was confused as he blurted out a question he doesn't know an answer to.
