Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

35. Staying up

"Katsu. You're so cold!" You said, taking the towel from his hand.
"No..." He said and wrapped a towel around his own body.

You had stupidly locked yourself out of your house. You watched him trying to wipe his hair. "What are you doing? You're not drying anything."

You laughed at him and picked up a clean towel. You knee walked your way over to his side of the couch and placed it on his head and began drying his hair.

"You're shivering. You idiot."
"You're the idiot!  Why did you willingly let your umbrella blow away?"

You blushed. You couldn't tell him that the way he had kissed you had had such a great impact on you that you weren't even able to hold the umbrella tight enough so that it wouldn't fly off.

Katsuki was trying his best not to stare. You were wearing a thin white shirt which was now soaked, making it almost completely see though. To make it worse, you were standing on your knees right in front of him while leaning over and drying his hair, giving him a full view of your body.

"Y-you should change into some dry clothes." He said, standing up, flustered. "I don't have any..."

You stood in Katsuki's bathroom with his oversized shirt and a pair of shorts.

They smelt like him. You pulled your drenched shirt over your head but just then the door swung open.

Katsuki. You didn't say anything and just stared at him. "Oh." He said, going completely red in realisation. "I-I'm sorry- I'll-" He slammed the door shut.

You quickly changed your clothes and made your way downstairs. "H-Hi." He said. "Uh.. sorry about that. I thought you were in the guest bathroom."

"It's okay." You said. Somehow, the fact that he had seen you half naked didn't seem to anger you.

"You don't care?"
"It's okay."
"You liked it, huh?" He smirked, walking towards you. "You wanted me to walk in on you?"
"N-No!"

He slapped an arm on the wall above your head and towered over your body. "You wanna keep l-"

Before he could complete his sentence, the front door flung open. Oh no. Mitsuki and Masaru. The two of you jumped away from each other and tried to play it off.

"M-Mitsuki!" You rushed to her. "Hi Y/N! What are you doing here?"
"The idiot locked herself out of her house."
"Katsuki!" Don't speak to her like that!"
"You don't tell me what to do, you old hag!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME?"

And the two of them began bickering as usual. "How are you not deaf by now, Masaru?" You asked him. "It's a wonder to me too." He shook his head and walked inside.

After dinner, you and Mitsuki sat on the couch, having chocolate ice cream while Katsuki and Masaru did the dishes in the kitchen. You had offered to help but they wouldn't let you.

"Y/N." She said, looking at you skeptically. "Before Masaru and I came home.... what was going on between the two of you?"

Your face went red. "W-what? Nothing! Nothing at all!"
"Are you dating my son?"
"N-No way!"

She sighed. "I support it." She said, completely ignoring your denial. "W-What?"
"I know he has feelings for you. Its obvious. You're the only one he ever listens to. You've practically got him wrapped around your finger."

You blushed. "It's not like that!"
"Oh yeah. You should've seen him when you were in the hospital. I've never seen him care for another person's existence this much in his life." She said. "Y/N. Take care of him. He's a stupid brat. But he's my son and you're perfect for him."

"We're not dating!" You said. "What're you two gossiping about?" Katsuki walked into the room, yawning. It was almost nine.

"Isn't it past your bedtime?" You said to him.
"Yeah. I'm suffering cause of you." He complained, referring to your insistence that he had some ice cream with you.
"Aww poor baby. Is little Katsu sleepy?" You teased him
"Shut the fuck up! I'm a grown up. I'll sleep when you do."

And that's how you and Katsuki ended up staying up in the living room till 1 am.

"WHAT? So Jack's dead?" You exclaimed. "Yes, Y/N. How have you never watched The Titanic?"
You shrugged.

"What do you want to do now?"
"Wanna go for a walk?" He asked.

You and Katsuki made your way to the park. It looked almost eerie at that hour. "Y/N, remember when we scared kids away by telling them that this place was haunted by a ghost that kidnapped kids?"

You snickered at the memory. "Yeah! We'd tell them about the little boy who stole kids to play with them. But that wasn't even necessary. You were probably enough to scare them away just by looking at them."

You expected him to yell but he didn't say a word. You looked up at him. He was frozen in place. His face was completely pale and his mouth was agape.

You followed his gaze and thats when you saw it. "..........w-w-w-whats that?" You stuttered. "D-don't be a scaredy cat, Y/N! Its probably nothing.

There was a little boy crouched down in the corner of the park. His back was turned to you and he seemed to be sobbing. Except, he wasn't normal. He was glowing. His face, his hair and his clothes were all milky white.

"Hey!" Katsuki said. "What're you doing outside at 1 in the morning, kid?" You got closer. The bog wasn't sobbing. He was laughing hysterically. Katsuki stepped back. "Who are you?" You said.

The boy suddenly stopped laughing. He looked up at you. His eyes were completely red. You and Katsuki were frozen in fear. "Y-Y/N. It's him."
"W-who?"
"Th-The boy..... The boy who kidnaps people..."
"W-what are you saying? We made that rumour up!"
"Look at him..."

The boy stood up, maintaining eye contact with you. I'm going to die. You predicted. You had accepted your fate.

"What do you want?" Katsuki yelled.
"You!" The boy hissed. He sounded like a venomous snake, waiting to strike.
"What do you want from me?" Katsuki said.
"Not you! The girl. Give her to me."
