Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

27. The Number 2 Hero

You were sitting in Endeavor's office. "Would you like some tea?" He asked. "No, thank you." You said a little coldly.

Your talk with Todoroki had made you begin to hate the man sitting in front of you. "How are your studies? Does your leg feel better?"

"I'm fine. Please get straight to the point, I don't have much time." You said. He raised his eyebrows in surprise. Were you really telling the number 2 hero that you were too busy for him?

"Ahem. Okay. Have you noticed that out of the four thousand and something requests you received, one was from me?"
"I noticed."
"And?"
"I'll consider it if that's what you're asking."
"Alright."

"My son Shoto seemed to have an interest in you." He said. You gaped at him. What? "He was disappointed when he found out he wouldn't get to fight against you."

"I understand what he's seeing in you. Your quirk is very powerful, you're one of the top students in your class and your battle strategies are extraordinary. You're destined to be one of the top heroes."

You blushed. The number 2 hero was telling you that you were destined for success. "Y/N. I'll get to the point. Would you like to engage in a quirk marriage with Shoto after your graduation?"

You almost choked. A quirk marriage? You gaped at him. Was he kidding? You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Was this guy completely crazy?

"I-I'll pass." You said, trying to hold your laughter in. To your surprise, Endeavor seemed shocked by your reply. "Are you rejecting getting into a quirk marriage with the Todoroki's?"

"Kinda." You snarked. He stared at you, mouth agape. "Well, if that's all you wanted to talk about, I'll be on my way." You stood up and bowed politely.

He sighed. "I guess I shouldn't have expected you to say yes anyway. You're Bianca's daughter after all."

"How did you know my mother?" You asked him. "She is... A friend. A good friend of mine." He said.

"Very well. But I hope this isn't about that Bakugou kid. That kid's bad news. Loud, horrible manners."

"Don't talk about him that way." You said, and walked out of the office swiftly before he could respond, leaving him shocked.

That day you had an afternoon shift at Marlo's.

You were at a table, pouring a customer coffee. Your hair was tied in a loose bun. A little flour was smeared on your face. Your eyes were sparking as you smiled at the customer. Your lips looked so soft..... Bakugou looked away.

You came over to his table, serving him spicy pepperoni pizza. He claimed to need a quiet place to study at but he just sat there to gawk at you.

It was almost six, so your shift was about to get over. You came over and sat down next to him. "I've got so much to tell you." You said.

You began telling him about the offer Endeavor had made to you, struggling getting to the end of it without bursting into laughter.

But Bakugou didn't seem to find it funny. He looked away. "What's wrong?" You asked him. "So are you taking the offer?" He asked seriously, making you burst into laughter.

"What? What's so funny, huh?" He said, scowling.
"Katsu, are you crazy? Do you think I would ever get into a quirk marriage..... With Todoroki?" You snickered.

"Why not? You should go out with him."
"Why would i ever go out with Todoroki?"
"His dad said he likes you."
"Eh, he's not my type."
"What is your type?"
"Hmm maybe someone blond."

"Oh yeah? I'm blond."
"So?"
"That mean you're interested in me?"
"That means you're dumb."
He scoffed. "I'm smart enough to see that you've got a crush on me."
"You're also blind then. You gonna pretend like I'm the one interested in you when you kissed my forehead while I was asleep?"

He went red. "W-what? You were awake?"
"Mmhm. Looks like you've got a crush on me, Katsu."
"Gross!"
"If I'm so gross, why do you come here to ogle me everyday?
"I-I don't ogle you! The pizza here is just really good."
"Sure you don't."

He took a bite of his pizza. He knew it meant admitting defeat but he was speachless. Since when had you become the forward one? He was blushing furiously.

He reached up and wiped the flour from your face, making you turn the same shade of red as him. "It's late. We should leave." He said, taking a final bite from his pizza.

It was too late to start training since a certain somebody's bedtime was 8:30 so the two of you decided to take a walk at the park.
