RESILIENCE | K. BAKUGOU X READER STORY

Debut

With a final click from the computer, you were able to get Bakugou a spot for a state-wide boxing competition near the outskirts of Tokyo. After confirming everything with the agency, you called in Hikaru to approach your office once more to collect copies of everything the management team would need to know in order to prepare before arriving and once at the competition. A knock at your door interrupted your train of thoughts, allowing them to enter.

"Hikaru great timing, here are some copies of what management should expect and our schedule." You say, your back facing away as you were retrieving the paper copies from the printer.

"Unfortunately not Hikaru cutie." The person says, your head perks up at the nickname however you know exactly who it is.

"I thought you'd drop the nickname." You reply smiling, turning towards him after all the copies from the printer have been successfully obtained.

That jittery feeling once more overtook Bakugou, trying not to show his confidence falter a bit as he spoke once more.

"Thought I told ya' I wasn't going to." He replies to you, once more that smirk overtaking his handsome face.

"Should've taken your word seriously hm?" You reply, your smile not disappearing from your face once.

That damn smile of yours made Bakugou feel as if his stomach was doing backflips but he tried to indistinct his feeling, he'd make sure you'd always smile like that around him. He loved your smile.

"What can I say, I'm a man of my word." He says with a slight shrug.

"Is that so? Well since you're here again might as well put you to work." You say

"Already? I was enjoying my time off for a bit." He says in a sarcastic tone.

"Mhm, I called Hikaru but you're already here so make yourself useful Bakugou." You state, handing him the stack of paper copies within your hands which he takes brushing your hand just slightly. If only you knew how he felt about you, that slight skin contact made his pulse beat faster than it already was around you.

"Oh? Is this for my 'debut' as you were calling it earlier?" He asks, slightly raising an eyebrow towards you.
"That's right, I was able to get you a spot in. Heard it was a state wide competition and I thought it was the perfect opportunity to gain some spotlight within your career." You beam happily.

"Oh– I mean wow–Thank you." He says gratefully.

"Of course, as I have said before, you have talent." You reply to him happily.

"Seriously though, I appreciate it you've done a lot already and it's barely your second day here." He says.

"You don't have to thank me Bakugou, it's my job after all." You say.

"Still I appreciate it. I'll go take these to management, see ya' later cutie." He says bidding a small farewell on his way to management.

Once Bakugou exits out of your office you feel as if a weight has been lifted off your shoulders. In truth you felt nervous about debuting Bakugou's career so early into your day of working here. Nonetheless, him expressing his gratitude towards you felt as if you were going into the right direction.

Management had gotten your paper copies successfully from Bakugou. The schedule stated that in 2 days you'd be traveling towards the outskirts of Tokyo for the state wide competition. The management team took it well enthusiastically as they'd finally do something. The day came by fast and thankfully the agency covered most of the spending costs of providing everyone hotel rooms.

Management, you, and Bakugou all arrived at the arena on time.

Management would prepare everything for Bakugou to get on stage properly and in style.
