Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

11. Closer

A week had passed since the day of the match. After school, you and Bakugou began walking home.

"Ah! Im exhausted. I didn't understand anything in class today. Did you?" You ranted.
"Tch, of course a dumbass like you wouldn't get it." He snarked.
"Oh yeah? Did you get it?"
"Yeah i did!"
"Then teach me!"

And that's how you ended up at Bakugou's doorstep again. About to enter to take tutoring lessons from Bakugou.

You didn't know why but you were nervous. You had been to his house countless times before, but this time it was different. You were entering as his guest, not his parents. It felt weird.

"Oh!" Mitsuki exclaimed when she saw you. "It's so nice to see you here! I'll prepare something for the two of you. You can go to Katsuki's room and study, kay?"

You smiled at her politely. She was so sweet. How'd she manage to raise such a gremlin? "KATSUKI!" Her voice boomed, startling you. "KEEP YOUR SHOES ON THE SHOE RACK!"

"I'LL DO WHAT I WANT, YOU OLD HAG" He yelled back, just as agressively, making his way up the stairs. "Bakugou!" You smacked him. "Don't speak to your mom like that!"

"LEARN FROM HER, YOU BRAT!" She howled, making you regret your words instantly.

Bakugou then rushed you up the stairs and into his room. "So this is your room, huh." You pretended to look around and act like it was your first like seeing it. Like you had definitely not peeked into his room before. The two of you placed your bags on the floor.

"Don't act like you havent seen my room. I've seen you looking in." He said, making your face go red. "You could only have known that if you'd been looking back, Bakugou." You retorted, regaining your composure. "Plus, you'd been stalking me in the mornings for ages even before that. You got a crush on me, Katsu?"

His face flushed. Your childhood nickname for him was doing something to him, but he took a step towards you.

"Yeah. I've been looking back. What about it?" His ruby eyes bore into yours. His face was inches away from yours at this point.

"KATSUKI" a voice interrupted. "GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE. LUNCH'S READY."

He laughed darkly, pulling away from you. The two of you made your way down the stairs, flustered by what just happened.

What the fuck was that. You both thought to yourselves. What had possessed you to say that? Wait why did he also react that way? He looked back at you? 'What about it?' What did he mean 'what about it!?'

After lunch, the two of you retreted back to his room.

Bakugou completely ignored the interaction from earlier, seemingly unbothered by it. He coolly told you to take out your book and began explaining the concept to you.

A few hours later, you seemed to have grasped the concept completely. "You got it pretty fast, you know. You didn't even need me to teach it to you." He was being nice for once.

"No, I got it thanks to you, Bakugou." You grinned. Gotchya. He thought. "Not quite. You trynna spend time with me? Sounds like you got a little crush on me." He teased you right back. He had to get you back for what you had decided to pull an hour earlier.

You blusher profusely. "W-wh-" you stammered. He just cackled, standing up. "I should get going." You said to him, standing up as well and walking out of his room.

Shoot. Had he gone too far with that? Were you mad? Wait what am i even doing? What am i saying to her? What's wrong with me?

He was now realising the gravity of what he had said. He rested his face in his hand, embarrassed by his words.

You got home, your heart was still beating faster than ever. You had just flirted with Bakugou Katsuki. You glanced out of your window and saw him looking right back.

I've been looking back. What about it. His words echoed in your brain. The two of you looked away simultaneously.

You went to sleep, thinking about him.
