I'm In Love With A Criminal (a Bakudeku story)

Chap. 3

Does anyone else think Izuku looks like he is about to murder Bakugou in this pic? It's still cute tho.

"Shigaraki?" Bakugou mumbled. "What does he want now."

Izuku looked over. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just have to take this call, it's important."

"Oh, okay! I can take care of the kids for a few minutes!"

Bakugou walked outside the back door and accepted the call. "Shiggy, what do you want?"

"Is it true?"

Bakugou furrowed his brow and then talked into the phone. "Is what true?"

"That you accepted a job at "Happy Children" daycare?"

"Yeah, how did you know?"

"Come on, you are part of my organization. You really think I don't have a way to track your every move?"

"YOU TRACK MY EVERY MOVE?!"

Shigaraki laughed his weird laugh. "Yes, chill. And you're the only one who knows this by the way, so keep it a secret."

"Okay, but why are you so curious about my job? It's just a daycare."

"Well, I've heard strange rumors about that daycare. Most of them are centered around the manager. By the way, why did you decide to get a job here?"

"How is that relevant?"

"Just answer the question."

"I took a wrong turn on the way to school and-"

"Don't go into the full story. Just tell me, were you or were you not forced to take this job."

Bakugou took a deep breath. "I was. The manager, Hizashi, blackmailed me into taking the job."

"Okay. So the rumors say that Hizashi is planning something that requires a lot of people, and that's why he is forcing people to take that job. They also say that anyone who tries to leave is never seen again."

Bakugou laughed loudly, and then covered his mouth. "What a bunch of bullshit! That just sounds like a plot straight out of a horror movie! I can't believe you, of all people, actually believe those rumours!"

"Well even if they aren't true, just be careful. We can't stand to lose a member of the League, especially one as powerful as you."

"Fine. I'll be on the lookout for anything suspicious. Bye."

"Bye."

Bakugou hung up and went back inside.

The next day at UA, Bakugou was walking onto campus when he saw Mina running at him.

"H-hi." Mina panted, out of breath.

"What do you want Raccoon Eyes?"

Mina finally caught her breath. "Did you hear that there is going to be a new student today?" she said excitedly.

"What?" Bakugou was actually curious. "No."

"I heard that the new student is a boy. Ooh, I hope he's handsome!" Mina squealed. Bakugou rolled his eyes. "Stop simping for someone you haven't even met yet." Bakugou started dragging Mina towards the school building. "We're gonna be late, let's go." Mina looked confused. "But it still ten minutes before school st-"

"Shut up."

Mina and Bakugou made it to their classroom five minutes before school started. After those five minutes passed by, Aizawa walked in.

"Students, as you must have heard, we will be having a new student join our class today. You may come in." Bakugou's eyes widened as he saw who walked in. It was that worker from the daycare, Izuku. Bakugou and Izuku made eye contact for a few seconds before Izuku broke his eyes away and turned to face the whole class.

Izuku waved smiled. "Hi! My name is Izuku Midoriya! I'm so honored to be part of this amazing class!"

Bakugou heard Mina squeal from a few seats down. "OMG!!! He's so adorable!" It seemed like Izuku had heard it too, because he blushed slightly.

"Okay, enough with the theatrics. Izuku, go sit in between Bakugou and Uraraka." Aizawa pointed to the seat in between Bakugou and Uraraka, where Mineta was sitting. "Wait, where am I going to sit then?" Mineta asked, concerned.

Aizawa facepalmed. "Literally no one cares, go sit in the corner or something."

"But there's no seat there-"

"GO. SIT. IN. THE. CORNER."

Mineta gulped. "Yes Aizawa-sensei." He walked over to the corner and sat on the ground, looking short as ever.

Bakugou could hear small chuckles from everyone in the room besides Izuku, who just stood there with a confused look on his face.

Aizawa sighed. "Okay, now that that's over with, you can go sit in between Bakugou and Uraraka." Izuku slowly walked over to the now-vacant seat and sat down. During the whole class, Izuku catted with Uraraka. Bakugou watched them whisper in each other's ears and laugh, and felt a small twinge in his chest. Could it be that he was jealous?

No, that's impossible. I just met this guy yesterday, why would I be jealous of him talking to Uraraka?

Bakugou ignored them the rest of class. After everyone else left, he went up to Izuku. "Seems like you made fast friends, huh?" Izuku jumped and turned around. "Oh, hi Kacchan! You scared me for a second there!" It took Bakugou a moment to register what Izuku had just called him.

Bakugou raised his eyebrows. "Did you just call me Kacchan?"

Izuku blushed. "Oh um, it's just a nickname I came up with last night."

"You took time out of your night to come up with a nickname for me?"

"W-well, I thought since we got along so well yesterday-"

"It's fine." All of Bakugou's jealousy (yes, he admitted he was jealous) slipped away and he felt himself blushing slightly. "I'll make sure to come up with one for you too."

Before Izuku could answer, Bakugou went past him and out the door not believing what he just said.

Am I going soft because of him?
