Him Again (Bakugou Katsuki x Reader)

43. Is He Okay?

You were sitting in the Bakugou's living room. "I can't believe you children!" Mitsuki lectured the two of you. "Katsuki, I can't believe you let yourself get caught by villains! And Y/N! You recklessly went to save him! You two h-"

"Shut up you old hag! I was perfectly fine! Mind your own business." Katsuki yelled. You quickly apologised on Katsuki's behalf before they could get into a screaming match.

You were already excepecting her to yell at you. Memories of Aizawa shouting at you, Midoriya and the rest of the rescue team the previous night flashed through your brain.

You squeezed Katsuki's hand. He had laced his fingers between yours. He rolled his eyes but decided not to argue with his mom anymore.

After dinner, Katsuki was exhausted. But he didn't want to sleep. Not with you around. He didn't want to waste his time being asleep when he had you present there to spend time with intstead.

So he stayed up till 2 am with you. He was teaching you how to make his favourite ramen. "Not like that, dumbass!" He said.

"You have to whip it gently." He walked over to you from behind and placed his hands on either of yours and guided you, whipping the batter beautifully.

But you were too focused on how his hot breath was caressing the side of your neck when he whispered instructions to you and how he had his body pressed against your back and how his calloused hands were gently wrapped around your delicate ones and how he was so close you could practically taste his caramel scent.

You turned around. "Katsu." You breathed. His ruby eyes bore into yours. "Yeah?" You reached for the collar of his shirt and pulled his lips into yours.

Instinctively, he slipped his hands slightly under your sweatshirt and pulled you deeper into the kiss.

When he pulled away, you were left light headed and breathless. How did he manage to make you swoon after every kiss no matter how many times you kissed him?

But he held onto your hips, stabilising you. He smirked. The same cocky smirk he always gave you that grew to love so much. The one you had missed so much over the past few days.

"Missed me that much huh?" He teased you. "Yeah, I did." You said, making him blush. You raised your hand up to his face and gently ran your fingers over a small bandage on his face. Your eyes were focused on his. He was smiling at you but they were filled with pain.

You wondered what he must have had to go through and you began thinking about how he had to go through it because of you. You knew how he was, how he hated being the damsel in distress to save. He probably blamed himself for causing everyone trouble and getting himself captured even though it wasn't his fault at all. He was probably scared, confused, lonely. Your expression turned solemn.

"What?" He said, hugging you. "Was the kiss that bad?" He joked, making you smack him. "Are you okay?" You sniffled with a few tears welling in your eyes. "They didn't do anything to me. I promise I'm fine." He reassured you, running his fingers through your soft hair.

"I know they didn't physically hurt you much but are you okay?"
"..... Yeah." He said and buried his face deeper into the crook of your neck. But you knew he was lying. You could see it in his eyes. He was suffering and it was slowly killing himself from the inside.
"Don't lie to me."
He just hugged you tighter. How were you always able to read his mind?
"Katsu... Don't you dare leave me again."

"I won't." He promised. And he didn't. The two of you spent the entire night together. You had some ramen and ice cream while watching a movie on the couch until you fell asleep in his arms and he did the same.

The next morning, Katsuki was rudely woken up by the sound of the doorbell ringing. Who the fuck was at his door at the crack of dawn?

Shit. It was almost 3. You were still asleep in his arms. You looked so adorable, he decided not to wake you up. He would never say it out loud but he was so grateful for you, he couldn't even put it into words. Somehow you always knew exactly what he needed. No matter how much he tried to hide it, you always saw through it. You knew he wasn't okay and stayed the night for him.

If it wasn't for you, he didn't know what he would've done. The guilt, the pain, the trauma of what he had gone through was eating at him but you just being there had taken it all off his mind. He never realised just how much he needed you until now. God he loved you so much.

"SOMEONE GET THR DOOR!" Mitsuki's voice echoed from upstairs. He groaned and stood up, gently slipping out from under you and resting your head on a pillow instead.

He opened the door. It was Aizawa and All Might.

You awoke to voices booming from outside. "-I trust you guys." You heard Mitsuki say. You cracked open the door slightly and saw All Might and Aizawa talking with the Bakugous.

You watched as Mitsuki held Katsuki's head down, forcing him to bow. "He's a hopeless guy but please train him hard to be a good hero." She said.

You chuckled at the interaction. All Might and Aizawa left soon after but realisation hit you. You were at Katsuki's house, wearing his clothes, sleeping on his couch, staying the night over.

You began panicking. Mitsuki and Masaru probably had no idea. Just then Katsuki walked in. "Y/N." He hissed. "You need to go home. All Might and Aizawa are probably going there."

"What's going on?"
"Just go home. You'll know."

Katsuki made sure his parents weren't around and quickly snuck you out.

You entered through the back door and got back home just before All Might and Aizawa had reached.

"H-Hi!" You said, opening the door, breathless from all the running.

They began telling you about how UA was implementing a dorm system. "Woah! That's awesome!" You said.

"It's great that you approve, Y/N," Aizawa said sarcastically. "But the problem is that we need a parent or guardian to sign off on it. And in your case...."

"That's my grandmother." You said. "Right." All Might said. "So when should we expect her to be here?"

"W-what?" You said. " What do you mean be here? She doesn't have to come here and sign off on it in person right? I could just give her a call right now and -"

"We need to talk with her Y/N." Aizawa cut your rambling short. "But-"
"They're the rules, Y/N."

As soon as they left, you began panicking. Fuck. No no no. This couldn't be happening. You could not face your grandmother. After the efforts you had taken to get away from her, how could you just call her to your house?

But you had no choice. You had to do it. You picked up the phone and dialled her number. You gulped. "Hello? Grandma, it's me, it's Y/N."
