Sedative (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

New Powers and Interviews

Your POV

After our final critiques, it was revealed that Shinso would most likely be joining the hero course next year. I was happy and excited. He definitely had been working hard these past few months. My father also asked that Monoma come visit Eri to try and copy her quirk. Which meant, I unfortunately, would have to be in his presence even in my free time. 

Immediately after we were dismissed, Katsuki took me to Recovery Girl. My bones were bruised, and I probably could've healed myself in a couple hours, but Katsuki insisted. Then, we went back to the dorms and changed into our casual clothes. Currently, we were hanging out in my room.

"Katsu," I called tiredly, wrapping my arms around him from behind as he sat at my desk. He turned to look up at me with curious eyes. "Will you lay with me? You know Midoriya is gonna want us to help him with that new power later, and I need to rest before we do. I'm sure you could use a little nap too."

"Yeah, sure," he replied simply. He stood up, making me drop my arms back to my sides. I jumped onto my bed and scooted to the far side, lifting the covers for him to get in with me. He climbed in and wrapped his arms around me from behind, pulling my back against his chest. I sighed with content as I put my arm over his and laced our fingers together. He was always so warm. "I'll wake you up in an hour," he whispered against my neck. 

"Sounds good," I replied as I drifted off. 

A Few Hours Later...

A little while after my nap, Midoriya asked Katsuki and I to help him with his power, just like I knew he would. I agreed immediately, Katsuki took a little convincing though. As if reading our minds though, All Might messaged all three of us and asked us to meet.

We made our way to the teacher's lounge and Midoriya explained everything he knew to All Might, myself, and Katsuki. 

"So, it's a previous wielder's quirk, and One for All itself is evolving?" All Might asked.

Before Midoriya could reply, Katsuki asked with a certain tone in his voice, "You guys always have secret meetings in here?" 

"I was surprised to see you joining us today!" Midoriya smiled. 

"I asked young Bakugo to come because he knows the truth behind your power," All Might replied as he poured himself a cup of tea.

"So," my boyfriend continued, "Did you know about this All Might? About the dark energy and the person Deku spoke to?"

All Might shook his head, "I'd never heard of either before. A predecessor with a shaved head? The person who had the quirk before my master was a young man with black hair. I don't think she knew about the other quirks living in One for All either. I'd say this is uncharted territory for everyone."

"Great," Katsuki muttered, "This idiot scum is the first one to go out of control."

"Hey, that enough," All Might scolded.

But Katsuki continued, "Think harder. You must've noticed something that triggered the new power."

"I don't think so," Midoriya replied, "But the man I talked to said 'now's the time,' so... Maybe there's something going on in the world that's making this happen?"

"If that's true, could it have something to do with All for One?" I suggested, "This passed on ability originally came from him. Think about it. He has control over multiple quirks. Ultimately, you guys are virtually the same."

There was a deafening silence for a few seconds before All Might stood up, "That's something I've thought but didn't wanna say. At any rate, this cannot keep happening. We have to learn more about this power."
