Burning Love (Bakugo x reader)

Chapter 88

The lesson was quite uneventful, Mirio just showed us his quirk and how powerful he was but that was pretty obvious. I mean why would he be in the big three if he was strong? Fighting him seems pointless to you.

The next few days, you slept alone, still trying to stop thinking about Bakugou but failing miserably.

During Training, Mr. Aizawa has been working with you again. He has been making you move and throw water balloons which sounds absolutely stupid to you. But, the water balloons were extremely delicate so you really had to focus on keeping the water in them still enough so you don't pop them. At the moment he was throwing a bucket of them at you so you could catch them with your quirk and set them gently on the ground.

After a while, he let you take a break. You went over to the side of the training area and sat on the bench, drinking from your water bottle. You sat observing your classmates for a while before you noticed Jirou coming up to you.

"Hey." She said as she sat down.

"Hey." You said with a slight smile. You always thought she was really cool but you two don't really talk much alone. The awkward silence was eating you up until she finally said something.

"So...trouble in paradise already?" She asked before taking a sip from her water.

"What?" You asked, very confused.

"You know. You and..." She says and then turns her head to stare at someone. You follow her eyes and realize she's staring at Bakugou. You still didn't understand.

"Can you just tell me what you mean, I have trouble with social cues." You said, not joking but she still laughed a little. She scoots closer before she speaks.

"I mean, what's up with you and Bakugou?" She says, staring you down. You and him didn't really interact outside of your room, especially in front of our friends so what is she talking about?

"Nothing?" You answer confused.

"Oh come on Y/n, I thought we were friends." She said still trying to get it out of you. "Something had to be up. He hasn't been coming to your room." She says calmly, taking another sip as you process what she said.

You froze, she knew? Well it's not like you too we're doing anything bad but sneaking into others dorm rooms after curfew is breaking many rules.

You try to open your mouth to defend yourself but you don't know what to say.

"What? Your room isn't sound proof. I mean I can't hear everything but I can definitely hear the sounds of two pairs of footsteps." She lightly laughs. You feel your face get hot and you can't even look at her. "You're just lucky that Mina and Uraraka are pretty heavy sleepers so I think I'm the only one that knows." She adds.

"It's not like that I promise." You try to explain.

"I know." She says with a sly smile. "I heard some of your fight the other night."

You slightly slouched, looking down at the ground and taking a sip of water to not answer her.

"This is just my opinion but, I think there was a lot of misunderstanding, on both of your ends. Maybe you two just need to talk it out. Properly this time." She says, placing a hand on your shoulder as she gets up. "I'm positive that you both want the same thing." She says then walks away.

You lean back against the wall finishing your water. You glance over at Bakugou, he was sparring with Kirishima. You didn't really know what you wanted, but you think you missed him. You haven't been sleeping well at all, and it shows. He looks like nothing happened.

You watch as he manages to sweep Kirishima off his feet, a wide smirk plastered on his face as he helps Kirishima up. It was so cute. You didn't know why, but you miss hugging him, his warmth, his scent.

You wondered what they were talking about, noticing that Kirishima whispered something to him and then Bakugou lightly shoved him, then brought his hand up to cover his face.

After training, you were making your way to your room when Mr. Aizawa stopped you.

"Y/n, I need to speak with you." He said in his usual monotone voice. You thought it was for arguing with Monoma but to your surprise it wasn't. "We have an important secret mission tomorrow that only a few students here are assisting with. I think you should come." He says.

"Why do you want me to go?" You ask, still confused about this 'secret mission'.

"I just think that this is a good experience for you and could increase our chance of winning." He says as he notices you contemplating the idea. "Your brother isn't going, he has his remedial classes." He answers before you can even ask.

You were seriously thinking about it. If he was just asking you to go then the mission shouldn't be that bad. And you kind of want a distraction from the whole Bakugou situation so why not.

You agree and he hands you an envelope with the information, and he tells you that Midoriya and Uraraka are going too.

"Be ready by 7:30, we want to get an early start." He says as he turns to leave. "Oh and Y/n?" He gets your attention again. "At least try to socialize, you won't be a kid forever." He says then walks away.

Was it really that obvious? You always just go up to your room after training most days while the others hangout for a while before going to bed. You didn't think it mattered much.

You think about Mr. Aizawas words as you step into the kitchen for your usual snack before you go to bed. It's usually an orange. You couldn't find any oranges on the counter which is where they have been before.

Everyone else was sitting on or around the house so you couldn't even ask anyone. Before you gave up, you decided to check the fridge and to your surprise, there was one lonely orange on the door of the fridge.

Then, out of nowhere, a hand comes from behind you and snatches the orange before you grabbed it.
