Burning Love (Bakugo x reader)

Chapter 77

Still Bakugous POV~

I stood still for moment, not wanting to go along with their dumb plan but I had to go back sometime. 

I saw Jiro coming to the kitchen and just hoped Y/n wouldn't catch on. To my surprise she so engulfed in the movie that she didn't even notice once I sat down next to her. I couldn't help but watch her usually monotone face as she was almost smiling at the TV screen. What a weirdo, why does she like horror movies that much? I couldn't help but smile as I thought about her love for this movie. 

"Why do you like horror movies so much?"  I whispered, so only she could hear.  She turned to look at me and her brightly lit face dropped.

"Why do you care?" She whispered bitterly. I almost forgot she was still mad at me. 

"I don't." I scoff, turning to look at the TV now. But that not what I wanted to say at all. I can never say what I want to say and I hate it. Why is it so fucking hard to talk to her?

The movie ended and everyone started to leave. Y/n stayed to helped clean up and Shitty Hair pulled me aside to talk.

"What happened?" He said in a whisper, grabbing my shoulders.

"Nothing, just fuck off alright." I brushed him off, angry at myself. He sighs and puts his hands on his hips. 

"Dude, you got to be a man, I think you two would be good together." He says, and I, about to get angry about him telling me to 'be a man', but then I hear the last part. I tried to stop it but I was already feeling my face get hot and looked away from him. 

"Shut up." I tried to say but it was more of a whisper as I brought my hand up to my face to try and cover it. 

"Awww dude are you blushing?" Shitty Hair has the audacity to say. 

"No I'm not, I told you to shut the fuck up!" I say a little louder than expected and he just laughs.

"Oh, Goodnight Y/n." Shitty hair says and I turn around to see her wave and walk to her dorm. "I think you have a solid chance dude, just don't get caught." He said, quieter, now looking a little more serious. 

"Whatever, just shut up." I say, watching her figure disappear. We both start walking to the boys side of the dorms but I don't want to leave things like this with her, especially the night before a big day. "Oh Fuck it." I say as I start walking to the girls side of the door. 

"Bro you better be quick and silent when you sneak back to your room, Iida is a light sleeper." Shittyhair warns me as he guesses exactly where I'm going. I don't respond, continuing to walk, silently hoping that I won't have to go back to my dorm. 

Your POV~

When you made it to your room, you started getting ready for bed. You hated to admit it but you were still thinking about Bakugou. You were in the middle of untangling your hair and thinking about how you were going to sleep tonight when you heard a couple soft knocks on the door. 

You got up and opened the door quietly and there stood Bakugou, hands in his pockets and eyes looking anywhere but yours. 

"Can I come in?" He asked quietly. You thought about it, should you really being doing this instead of resting before a special day, but at the same time, you might sleep better if you resolve this issue. You must have taken too long to reply because Bakugou spoke again. "Please?" He added, this time with his head down.

You didn't answer, just opened the door wider and stepped out of the way. He understood and walked in. You two stood there for a moment in the middle of your room not knowing how to start. You were tired so you just said what's been on your mind. 

"Have we not been friends this whole time?" You say plainly, you unconsciously cross your arms as you question him. "I know you know that my brother told me what you said." You add for good measure. 

"Look I didn't mean it ok?" Is all he said as he placed his hands in his pockets still not looking you in the eyes. 

"Then why did you say it? I thought we were friends, I mean we acted like friends so I thought we were." You say, getting slightly angry. 

"I-I just...I have trouble saying what I really mean, especially when being questioned by your brother. I'm sorry Y/n." He said, you were taken aback. You've never heard him stutter before. You two have taken down some scary villains before and he's never even showed any emotion, so this told you how honest he was being with you. And you knew your brother could get a bit carried away sometimes.

"Can you at least tell me how you really real?" You asked, wanting to get to the bottom of this now. 

"I want to go back to how we were." He said, not looking at you. It would be a lie to say that you didn't want the same thing. Although you were able to sleep last night, it wasn't as comfortable as it was when he was there with you. 

"Does this mean we're friends?" You asked, not wanting to miscommunicate anything. He nodded. 

You didn't know it at the time but he almost didn't want to say yes, friends didn't feel like enough for him, but he didn't know if you felt the same, so he agreed. 

He was looking down and you now felt guilty for questioning him so harshly so you walked over and hugged him. He slowly accepted it. Hugging was still new to you but you quickly learned to love it, Mina has got you the most accustomed to it and you two were friends so you thought that this would be the same. 

But to Bakugou, this wasn't friendly in the slightest.
