Who Would Have Thought?!

Ch.65

—Author's POV

Kaneko with widen eyes stare at Bakugo who grip her collar with both hands.

'Weird'

She thought staring at him, this made no sense, none at all.

He isn't even hurting her but his hands tremble gripping her sailor collar.

The tears escape down his cheeks as he glare at the girl front of him.

"You... why...?" he grit his teeth as the tears kept rolling.

Down to his chin where they dripped and sank into his clothes.

Kaneko in shock could only stare at the blond.

She had no idea, no idea that he would cry front of her like this, like some broken toy.

She had no intention or idea such thing would occur but something in her switch, something changed seeing Bakugo cry like this.

Such a new feeling that grew inside her, a seed that was planted in soil but never broke out of it's shell and never grew... till now.

And the blond eyes widen.

He felt her hand caress his cheek.

Her small cold hand on his tear stained cheek wiping at his tears, wiping them away gently.

So he quickly shoved it away, shoving her hand away and grabbing her collar again, pulling her into his face while glaring at her.

"You...  how dare you...?! I hate you...! I hate you so damn much!" The blond grit his teeth glaring into her face but the girl did not show any reaction.

Even the glint of fear in her purple eyes had disappeared.

And once again her hand touch his cheek, although this time the blond couldn't pull away as she clasp both her arms around his neck and pulled him close.

The blond eyes widen as she hold him close, just hugging him.

Resting her chin on his head, in his soft blond spikes.

"It's okay."

Something change.

He wanted to push himself away from her, he really, really did but... but he couldn't.

Her arms just wrap around him as he hugged her, somewhat tight but gentle.

Definitely isn't a gesture anyone would have expected from Kaneko of all people.

But she didn't happen to be the only one...

Because instead of pushing her away from himself and hurting her, threatening her and what not.

He grip her blazer, clinging to the small girl who hugged him and stroke his back gently while he kneel front of her on the ground between her legs.

The girl cold wet clothes didn't seem as irritating as he thought it would be, just resting his head on her small shoulder.

Interestingly, it just really did not bother him.

"I'm  sorry, but it's all okay, I promise."

She talked gently, so gently it's somehow hard to believe she is the one talking.

After all she always been an out casted weird girl, even if she wasn't directly cast out, she was never really part of the girls she hung around with.

She was just there, existing, but never truly part of it.

And her gentle gesture somehow really got to Bakugo who just let her hug him, he would never admit he hug her back... but his hands are clinging to her blazer.

Holding onto her tightly, his head on her shoulder as his tears had soaked into her already drenched clothes.

Probably water, no smell or stickiness other than some lingering perfume and smoke.

Being comforted by some small fry girl who just got bullied and almost killed by him.

Now how weird and silly that is?
