Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

17. Off Day

You woke up to the smell of caramel flooding your senses. Bakugou stirred next to you. Your hand was still in his.

You pulled away quickly standing up before he awoke. It was Sunday that day which meant you didn't have school.

"Hey..." His morning voice rasped. "Hi." You responded.
"When did you wake up?"
"It's been a while." You lied.

He got out of bed and the two of you decided to go on your morning run together.

Bakugou's face flushed when he began to recall his words from the previous night. He had almost kissed you. Fuck.

He watched you running next to him, singing pop music in the most croaky voice ever. You looked perfect.

"Hey Katsu," you said, "Do you know Marlo's?"
"Mmh?"
"I work there as a waitress."
"Hmm- WHAT?"

His jaw hung open. "I don't want to burden my grandmother financially." You said. "You should know that. Before you get any closer to me."

He stared at you blankly and then started laughing. "Are you stupid or something?" He said, "Why do you think I would ever care about you working as a waitress? Do you really think I'm that shallow?"

You looked at him and smiled, joining him, laughing at yourself. Honestly. What were you thinking? Bakugou would never judge you for something like that. It sounded stupid to even think about.

When the two of you went back, you saw a car pulling into Bakugou's driveway. His parents were home which meant he could go home.

You felt disappointed for some reason that he wouldn't be with you.

Mitsuki spotted you and walked up to the two of you. "Y/N! It's been a while!" You had met with her the day before.

"Yeah." You agreed, as she pulled you into a hug. She tried to hug Bakugou but he made a disgusted sound, pushing her away.

"You brat, why are you wearing these clothes while running?" He was wearing a grey sweatshirt. Crap. He couldn't change his clothes that morning since he had locked himself out.

"I'll do whatever I want, old lady!" He snarked. "You're the one suffering, you idiot" she shrugged and the three of them went inside.

"Bye, Y/N." He said to you, shocking Mitsuki. "HUH. Did you just say bye to Y/N?"
"Yeah. Is your hearing deteriorating? You're growing older day by day."
"WHAT A BRAT I'VE RAISED! You don't even wish me a goodbye!"

"Bye, Ka--Bakugou." You said, not wanting Mitsuki to find it any more suspicious than she already did.

In the evening, you and Bakugou went to Marlo's. You had a shift there and Bakugou just wanted to tag along.

He was watching you work while pretending to read a book. You came over to him. "You're staring." You stated.
"And?"
"Stop it!"
"Make me."
You rolled your eyes and served him his pizza. You made it extra spicy just the way he loved.

Just then, your green haired friend walked in. "Izuku!" You chirped.
"Hi, Y/N! I was around the corner and I remembered that your shift was around this time so I- EEEEK!" He squeaked when he saw Bakugou there who was staring daggers at him.

"K-Kachhan." He stuttered, "W-Wh-What're you doing here?"
"You gonna tell me where I can and cannot go Deku?"
"N-n-n-no!" He stammered. "Y/N! I'll see you tomorrow at the Festival! See you later!"

He sprinted out. "Katsu!" You smacked him. "You scared him away!"
"Yeah it's Deku."
"He's a customer!"
"Hardly." He was being pissy. You wondered why.

"Why did he know about this before me?" That was why. "Oh- he used to visit this place even before I got the job..." You explained. He scoffed and looked away, upset.

He was being bitchy. "You can't be an ass about Izuku finding out before you did when you were the first one I voluntarily told , Katsu." You scoffed too.

"I'm being an ass?" He repeated. "Why don't you go bitch about it to fucking, 'iZuKu'?"

So that's what it was about. Midoriya had found out before he did and you were on a first name basis with him from day one while it took you a month to call Bakugou by his first name. But you only did that because you didn't want to overstep your boundaries.

You snickered. "You jealous, Katsu?"
"WHAT?"
"You jealous i called him Izuku?"
"NO!"
"You think I like him more?"
"HAAH? SHUT UP! NO I-"
"Relax. I'm only teasing you." You interrupted, wanting him to keep his voice down at the restaurant.

"You know I'd put nobody above you." You winked at him and walked away, leaving him speachless, gaping at your back
