Unveiled Winds || Katsuki Bakugou x Reader

Chapter 26 - Crossroads

"The hell you nerds find so funny?"

Kirishima, quick to try and defuse the situation, stammered, "Uh, we were just... discussing some of the hero stats. You know, the usual."

Bakugou's glare remained fixed on them. "Well, whatever it was, it better not be about me."

Camie, noticing the tension, stepped in and approached you with a friendly smile. "Hey, Tempest, right? I've heard so much about you," she said warmly. "I have to say, you're even more impressive in person. I've heard you're quite a hero in your own right."

You blinked, taken aback by the unexpected compliment. "Oh, uh....thanks! That's really nice of you"

Camie's smile widened. "No problem! I've always admired how you handle yourself. Keep up the great work."

As you listened to Camie's compliment, you couldn't help but take a closer look at her. Up close, she was even more striking than you'd initially thought.

Her presence was impeccably maintained, with an elegance that was both refined and effortless. Her smile had a warmth that was almost magnetic, making her seem even more beautiful in person.

You found yourself reflecting on the kind of person Bakugou would be drawn to. It was no surprise that he'd been involved with someone like Camie, someone who exuded confidence and charm with an air of sophistication.

Despite your earlier attempts to push it down, you couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy.

Camie's voice broke through your inner turmoil. "So, you two came here together, huh?" she asked, her eyes gleaming playfully. "Cute."

You stiffened slightly at the comment, unsure of how to respond. "Uh...well we came as a group"

Bakugou, clearly uninterested in the conversation, scoffed. "Mind your own damn business."

Camie only laughed, clearly unbothered by his usual bluntness. "Relax, Katsuki . I was just making conversation."

She calls him by his first name!?

The thought sent a ripple of unease through you, but before you could dwell on it, Camie suddenly lit up with excitement.

"Hey!" she exclaimed, reaching out and grabbing your hands. "We totally need to get a photo together!"

You blinked, momentarily caught off guard by her enthusiasm. "Uh, a photo?" you echoed, trying to keep up with the sudden shift in energy.

"Yeah!" Camie beamed, pulling you a little closer as if you were already best friends. "Come on, it'll be fun! You're killing it in that outfit, and we need to commemorate this moment!"

You smiled widely, nodding. "Sure thing!" It was like the energy Camie gave off was contagious, and you couldn't help but get swept up in it.

"Awesome!" she exclaimed, her eyes lighting up. Before Bakugou could even realize what was happening, she had already pulled out her phone, shoving it into his hands with a cheeky grin. "Take a photo of us, won't you, Kats?" She winked playfully, leaving Bakugou staring at her in disbelief.

He opened his mouth to protest, but Camie had already positioned the two of you, her arm draped around your shoulders, practically bouncing with excitement. Bakugou scowled but reluctantly raised the phone, muttering under his breath as he snapped the picture.

He held the phone out with a scowl, already done with the entire situation. "Here."

Camie, still buzzing with energy, pouted playfully. "You gotta take more photos than that!"
