Dark Reciprocation (Katsuki Bakugo x OC)(Villain Bakugo)

Chapter 56

It's the morning after the mission, and the group is gathered in the common area, eating breakfast and chatting casually. Kirishima and Kaminari are joking about something, while Rose is sitting next to Bakugo, seemingly relaxed. However, Bakugo is lost in thought, his mind still turning over the file he found on her the night before.

Bakugo sits quietly, his food untouched as his mind races. He glances at Rose, who seems unaware of his inner turmoil. "How much do I really know about her?" he wonders. The file from the mission revealed almost nothing—just fragments of who she might be. But even with her being so close to him, he feels like there are parts of her life he hasn't uncovered.

"And then there's Todoroki..." Bakugo's stomach tightens as his thoughts drift to the messages he saw before. Has Todoroki messaged her again? The question nags at him, jealousy stirring in his chest.

Bakugo can't help himself. He glances at Rosalia's phone on the table, fighting the urge to check. He doesn't want to be the kind of person who snoops, but the thought of Todoroki still trying to get close to her makes his blood boil.

"I just need to know", Bakugo thinks, grabbing Rosalia's phone when she's distracted for a moment. He checks her messages quickly, expecting to see something from Todoroki, but instead, he finds... nothing. No messages, no contact information. Todoroki's number is gone, along with all the previous conversations. Bakugo blinks, momentarily confused. "What the hell?"

Bakugo sets the phone down, his mind racing. Why are Todoroki's messages gone? His jealousy flares up, and without thinking, he looks at Rose, his voice sharper than intended. "Did icy-hot message you again?"

Rose looks up from her breakfast, startled by Bakugo's sudden question. She furrows her brow in confusion for a moment before realizing what he's talking about.

"No," she says, shaking her head. "He didn't message me again." She pauses for a moment, then adds, "I blocked him."

Bakugo blinks, surprised by her answer. "Blocked him?" he asks, his voice a little softer now but still tense. "Why?"

Rose sighs, setting her fork down. She knows this has been bothering Bakugo for a while now. "Because I'm done with it," she says simply. "He kept messaging, and it was just getting in the way... of us." She meets Bakugo's gaze, her expression serious. "I blocked him because I don't want to deal with the drama, and I don't like seeing how upset it makes you."

Bakugo stares at her, his frustration easing slightly. "She blocked him for me." He feels a strange mix of relief and guilt. He didn't expect her to take such a step, but knowing she did it because of him calms his jealousy, at least for the moment.

Despite Rose's explanation about Todoroki, Bakugo's mind drifts back to the file they secured during the mission. He realizes this conversation needs to go deeper. There are things they need to discuss—things about her past, things he doesn't know.

Bakugo stands up abruptly, his chair scraping against the floor. The group stops talking, all eyes turning to him. "Rosalia," he says, his tone more serious now. "We need to talk." He doesn't explain further, and the group exchanges confused glances as Bakugo gestures for her to follow him.

Rose frowns, a little thrown off by the sudden shift in Bakugo's demeanor. She glances at the others, who look equally puzzled, but she stands and follows Bakugo without question. Whatever this is, it seems important.

Bakugo leads her into his room, shutting the door behind them. The tension is thick, and she feels her heart race, sensing that something heavier is weighing on him than just Todoroki.

Bakugo pulls out the file they retrieved during the mission and holds it up for her to see. "This," he says quietly, his voice tight. "We found this in the hero agency. It's about you." He hands her the file, his jaw clenched. "They don't know much, but... neither do I."

Rose takes the file,her stomach dropping as she sees her own name and picture staring back at her.The realization hits hard—she's been targeted, and the heroes are trying topiece together who she is. But what cuts deeper is Bakugo's words: neither doI. She looks up at him, a mixture of confusion and fear in her eyes.
