Burning Love (Bakugo x reader)

Chapter 96

"What do you mean?" You ask, if you weren't friends then what could be? He let out a deep exasperated breath.

"Maybe we should just talk later. This was stupid anyway." He gives up, letting go of your hand and continuing to walk.

"No, I want to talk. We don't have class tomorrow so there's no rush." You say grabbing his hand and stopping him from walking. You look around and notice a small playground you didn't notice when walking to the train station. You drag him over to the swing set and sit down on a swing, gesturing for him to do the same, he rolls his eyes but sits down anyways.

"This is dumb." He pouts.

"No it's not, I see it all the time in the movies." You reply, starting to swing back and forth.You couldn't believe how fun it was, this wind blowing in your face, the cold night air, it was just like in the movies.

"God you're acting like you've never been to the-" He stops himself as he realizes that what he's saying might be true. Looking at your smiling face, so amused by a simple swing, he always forgets just how sheltered you were raised.

You slow your swing to a stop when you notice Balugou stop talking. You look at him, he's looking at the ground. You notice him take a deep breath and remember what he said early.

"Bakugou, what's wrong with being friends?" You ask, remembering he didn't answer you before.

"We're not friends Y/n." He finally says standing up, slightly raising his voice. "You and Mina are friends, me and fucking shitty hair are friends, but us...I don't think we've ever been friends." He continues, but his voice isn't angry, it's hurt.

You've always felt that you and him had a different kind of relationship than the rest but you don't really know how.

"Can you just stop speaking in riddles and tell me what you want already?" You say standing up as well, tired of him not getting to the point.

"God, you're so dense." He says, bringing his hands to his face. You furrow your brows. "How about I show you what I want, maybe that would help you understand." He says, walking over to you.

Once he gets close enough he brings a hand up to cup your cheek. You're still wondering what he's doing. He takes a final step closer and gently pulls your head towards his as he closes his eyes.

Wait...IS HE TRYING TO KISS YOU??? You've never done that before. Why does he want to kiss you? What if you mess up?

These thoughts cause you to hesitate and stop your head from moving, unconsciously putting your hands up against his chest. He felt your stiffness and quickly opened his eyes again.

"Wait. Bakugou I-" You try explaining yourself but he quickly lets you go and begins walking away.

"Just forget it. That was s-stupid any-way." He said, his voice cracking as he tried to hold back his sobs. You felt your heart ache when you heard him sniffling as you ran after him.

"Bakugou please listen to me." You said, stepping in front of him, but he wouldn't even look at you. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to do that." You defend, walking backwards in front of him since he won't stop walking.

"Leave me alone. Stop trying to make me feel better." He says, still looking away from you but you could see the tears in his eyes and how flushed his face is.

"Bakugou." You say before wrapping your arms around his neck and basically throwing yourself against him. "I'm so sorry. Please listen to me." You say burying your face in his neck and hugging him tightly. He fell silent and didn't push you off so you took that as a sign to speak.

"I...I've never done that before and I got scared. I didn't know you were going to do that and I don't really know what to do, and I was afraid of messing it up. I'm sorry. Please don't cry because of me." You say, feeling tears prick your eyes now too. You never thought that Bakugou would want to be with you in that way but now that he proved he does, you can't stop picturing him in that way. He stays silent for a moment before you feel him wrap his arms around your back and waist.

"You're an idiot." He says with a small laugh. You take your head out of his neck and look up at him and smile softly. Then you bring your hands up to cup his cheeks and wipe his tears away.

"Can we try again?" You ask, prepared for it this time.

"Well since you're practically begging me I guess." He says with a smile, rolling his eyes. This time you were the one gently pulling him closer as you closed your eyes and leaned in. His lips on yours were soft and gentle, you didn't want it to end, but it soon did. You pulled him back in for a second one right after and you felt him smile against your lips.
