Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

10. Close

The next morning, you stepped out of your house, plugging in your earphones, getting ready for your morning jog.

You were half expecting Bakugou to bail on you considering the fact that he had completely ignored you the previous day and refused to respond to any of your texts.

To your surprise, you saw him making his way towards your house. "Good morning, Bakugou!" You chirped, flashing him a toothy grin.

He stared at you blankly for a second. Then, "Hmm," he hummed in reply.

You were shocked by his gentle behaviour. You thought he would be upset or lash out and yell at you or something but he was oddly calm.

The two of you began jogging towards the park.

In reality, Bakugou was really upset about his loss. But he had been ignoring you the previous day because he didn't want to say anything that he would regret later to you out of all people.

He didn't know why but the thought of you being upset with him was something he couldn't tolerate. He was really pissed that morning too, but after you had wished him a good morning so cheerfully, he had forgotten all about the fight with Deku.

After a while, the two of you took a seat next to the playground as you sang along to the tunes playing in your ear.

Bakugou yanked your earphones out of your ears just before the chorus, quite rudely interrupting you.

"HEY" You yelled, "give it back!" "Not a chance. I'm not listening to you sing that stupid song again." He shoved your earphones into his pockets.

"What do you mean again? This is the first time you're hearing it!"
"Last night. You left your window open and my ears had to pay for it. Ouch" He pretended to grimace, shielding his ears.

Your face turned tomato red. Oh god. You hadn't even realised you had left your window open. You were dancing to pop music, screaming your lungs out, rather embarrassingly and judging by Bakugou's facial expression, he had seen you.

Bakugou had indeed been watching you. He had locked himself up in his room, sulking about the match when he heard your voice. He had peeked outside his window and had seen you, dancing, making a fool of yourself.

He had chuckled at the sight, forgetting about the day completely. You had cheered him up while he was having a tough time and you hadn't even known it.

"EEK!" You squeeled. "I- THAT WASN'T ME!"
"Alright." He said, flashing you a crooked smile.

You smacked his chest in embarrassment a few times, and he held your wrist in defense.

He gazed at your face. Your silky hair prettily curled around your neck and framed the sides of your face. Your cheeks had turned rosy, your eyebrows furrowed from humiliation.he glanced at your eyes, the golden rays of the morning sun bringing out its colour.

Beautiful. He thought but then quickly pushed the thought away, flustered, blushing profusely, letting go of your hand.

You noticed that though. Oh crap. Your face twisted into a cocky expression. "What're you staring at, Bakugou? Are you blushing? Cause of me?" You teased.

"YEAH RIGHT!" He howled looking away, "YOU WISH! SHUT UP!" He babbled on.

"I saw you." You sing songed. He stood up, with his face burning scarlet, and took off sprinting without a single word, leaving you behind.

You smirked in triumph and reached for your headphones- Oh crap.
"H-HEY WAIT!" You scrambled to your feet and took off running after him.
"BAKUGOU KATSUKI!"
