Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

38. The Date

Katsuki's eyes fluttered open. He groaned. Why the fuck was his head killing him? Right. All Might had been using him as a punching bag.

"Katsu!" He heard you say as his vision began clearing and you came into focus. "How do you feel? Are you okay? Where does it hurt? Should i get Recovery Girl?"

"I'm fine." Hs said shakily. Every muscle in his body felt like it had been cut open. "What happened?"

"........Izuku crossed the finish line with you." You said. "THAT DAMN DEKU ALWAYS THINKING HES BET-" He hissed in pain.

"Katsuki! Stop it. Just rest, okay? You passed. And I'm proud of you. For treating Izuku like a teammate.... albeit it was towards the end."

"Tch." He scoffed.
"Stop that. I've heard enough of that stupid sound over the past week." You said.
Oh. He had almost forgotten about that.

He didn't bring it up and neither did you. Frankly, you and Katsuki had forgotten why you were mad in the first place.

Later that day, the two of you went back home. "Ahh! The finals are over! Finally!" You sighed and threw yourself on his bed.

"What do you want to do now?" He asked. "Let's go out somewhere. Do something fun."
"Just the two of us?"
"Yeah."
"Like....a date?"
"Yeah."
"Okay." He would never admit it but his heart skipped a beat.
"But not right now. I've got an afternoon shift at Marlo's."
"What the heck? No, Y/N you can't g-"
You shut him up with a peck on his lips. "Bye Katsu!"

It was almost 6:30 when you got back home. But when you opened the door, someone was seated on the couch. You shrieked.

"JESUS. Katsuki what the fuck is wrong with you? How did you get into my house?"
"You leave the door unlocked."
"That doesn't mean you walk in!"
"Just because I leave the window open doesn't mean you peep in."
"You do it too!"

He rolled his eyes and stood up. "Just- let's go. Get ready."

You turned on the lights. You could finally see him. He was wearing a white turtleneck with a jacket paired with black trousers. It was the first time you'd seen him dressed up. You had to admit it. He looked really good.

You went upstairs to change. You put on a ruched orange top and a corduroy skirt. You put on some lip balm and pulled your hair into a half ponytail and made your way downstairs.

Katsuki was pacing and nearly tripped when he saw you. His jaw hung open. This was also the first time he'd seen you in something like that and he really really liked it.

"Woa- you- you look...good." he stammered. "Thanks." You beamed at him, making his heart clench. "Let's go."

The two of you took the train to the heart of the city. "What do you want to do?" He asked when you reached.

Something caught your eye. "What's that?" You asked. "Oh. You wanna ice skate?" Your face lit up.

"Just cmon, Y/N. Have you never gone ice skating before?" Katsuki asked, urging you to step into the ice skating rink.
"....no." you said. "You're kidding." He shook his head and grabbed your hand. He slid back a little, making you stumble forward into the rink.

"KATSU. What are you doing- I'm falling Katsu! I'm gonna fall-! you-" you stopped when you realised you weren't indeed falling.

He held your hand and began gliding around with you slowly. "This is fun!" You said. You picked it up quite quickly and began picking up speed. There was almost no one in the rink on a Tuesday evening.

You got a little overconfident and began slipping but Katsuki snaked his arm around the small of your back and steadied you as you both slid through the ice rink together, hand in hand.

Later, the two of you got dinner at a sushi place. "Don't be a psychopath, Y/N. Dip it in soy sauce."

"No i don't like it."
"What the fuck, you weirdo."
"Says you!"
"Here. Try it with some." He said, holding his chopsticks out. He fed you his sushi and you almost vomited. Your mouth was on fire.

Fuck. He'd forgotten about the spice in his. "What the fuck is this! I hate it!" You said, spitting it out and downing glasses of water. "It's horrible!"

"Hey. That wasn't the soy sauce's fault."
"No. It was yours! Are you mental, Katsuki? Your taste buds are going to burn off!"

"It's not my fault your ass has no taste!" He said, making you roll your eyes.

You both glared at each other as you continued to gobble the sushi.

The two of you walked around the city later. He bought you chocolate ice cream as an apology. It was the least he could do.

"It's so good." You relished the flavour of chocolate. He chuckled- a sound you rarely heard. "We just had sushi and you like the chocolate ice cream."

You rolled your eyes. "It's chocolate ice cream!" You said, matter-of-factly. "My parents used to bring Nico and I to get ice cream every Sunday." You smiled at the memory.

He intertwined his fingers with yours and squeezed your hand. The two of you walked to a nearby park and took a seat on one of the benches.

You raised your hand to his face and wiped something off of it. Ice cream. He blushed, embarrassed and looked away. "You're such a baby." You teased him.

"Shut up!" He said and pulled you closer by your wrist. He leaned in and kissed you, leaving you breathless when he pulled away, wanting more.

"Who's a baby?" He smirked, earning a shove from you. He noticed that you were cold and draped his jacket around your shoulders.

You smiled at him warmly and it almost melted his heart. You looked so pretty in the pale moonlight. His necklace was around your neck. You were wearing his favourite colour and you looked absolutely stunning. Your hair, your eyes, your smile, everything about you made his heart so numb. You were so perfect. He couldn't have asked for anything more.

"I love you." He said in a daze. You looked at him, starstruck. "I love you too." You said. How could you not? He had been everything to you. He was your best friend. He comforted you when you were sad, he helped you when you needed him, he protected you. He had always been there for you through everything.

You cupped his cheek and ran your finger over a bruise on his face, admiring him. He leaned in and kissed you passionately. And every time he did, it felt as amazing as the first.
