Flower Girl || Bakugo x Y/n

Chapter 5: Damn nerd

Bakugo's POV
—————————————————————————

"That fucking nerd lied to me! What was he keeping this a secret while silently laughing in my face?! What does he think he's better than me!?" I was furious. It's been two days since the entrance exam and I'm still pissed at the damn nerd. I'm pacing around Y/n's room and she sits on the bed. She's weaving a flower crown, with a cat she found on the street a few months ago purring next to her.

"I dont think he was laughing at you, Kat. He admires you more than anyone." Her voice was soft, and if it was anyone else telling me that shit i'd be mad. But this is Y/n. And everything she says sounds like music to my fucking ears.

"It doesn't change the fact he kept it a secret. What's the point of that anyways? Does he like being picked on? Like some kink shit?"

Y/n gaped at me. "Katsuki Bakugou! That's disgusting. Izuku probably doesn't even know what a kink is." She made a face that told me the idea of what I just said was gross. She stands up and puts the finished flower crown on my head. "The flowers are red like your eyes. It's pretty on you." She says softly, her eyes sparkling as she looks up at me. Suddenly I feel my anger go away as I push a stray piece of hair away from her face, running my finger along her pointed ear.

"I'm bored. We should go do something," We haven't gone out and relaxed in a while. We've both been training extra hard recently.

"You're not tired? We've been training all day." I shook my head and she hummed. "Well then let's go do something! We can go for a walk? There's that ramen place not too far. We can go there?"

We both put on comfy clothes and headed out the door. I still had the stupid flower crown on my head. I've grown to love them over the years. Y/n has one on too, with light pink flowers that go nicely with the pink streaks in her hair.

She had on a matching hoodie and sweatpants set. Both being a dark brown color. The sun was setting and the lighting made her glow so beautifully. Times like this made me wish we were more than just friends who didn't really act like friends. Times like this made me wish I could kiss her and it would be completely okay.

"You look so pretty in the sun, Kat." she spoke barely over a whisper. I didn't even realize she was looking at me the way I was looking at her.

"HAH? I'm not pretty I'm a man. I can't be pretty," I grumbled.

"Why not? You are pretty. Among other things of course." She smirked and made a show of looking me up and down.

I pushed her face away with my palm, turning my face so she couldn't see my cheeks reddening. "You're crazy, woman."

After we ate we ended up at a park. We walked past a cherry blossom tree that Y/n said she just had to climb.

"Be careful, dumbass." I called out as she made her way up the tree.

"Aww are you worried about me, Baby?" her voice was teasing as she said the pet name, clearly messing with me. It didn't stop me from blushing though. "Come up here with m— Oh my god a birds nest!" she exclaimed excitedly.

I made my way up the tree and sat next to her on the branch she was on. She had three birds on her chirping happily and a squirrel nestled on her lap. She looked so happy and at peace that I couldn't help but smile. I don't smile much but when I do, i'm always with Y/n.

She moved one of the small birds that was on her finger and placed it on my head. "What are you doing, woman?!"

"Shhhh don't yell, Kat. You'll scare them."

"Well why is it on my head?"

"Cause your hair looks like a birds nest. They like it." She laughed at my shocked and angry expression.

"How dare you." That only caused her to laugh harder.

After a while she sighed wistfully and laid her head on my shoulder. "I love our moments like these. Whenever shit would be bad at home, I couldn't wait until I could see you again." Her voice trailed off and I placed my arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to me. "You know that day? The day I came to the house and everything changed.?"

"Yeah I know the day, Angel." It'll haunt me for the rest of my life. Hearing her cry and scream. Her blood from where her mother branded her all over my hands. I'll never forget how I felt in that moment.

"I thought she was going to kill me. The way she sounded. How slowly she slid the knife through my skin..." she took a deep breath and snuggled closer to me. "I thought about you, you know. I thought about all of our happy moments. How happy you've made me my whole life. If I was going to die that day I wanted to go out thinking about you."

I feel tears stinging in the back of my eyes and try to blink them away quickly. The thought of a world without Y/n in it was fucking terrifying. I don't know what I'd do without her. "Well she didn't kill you. You're safe. Right here with me. She won't ever hurt you again, Angel. Me and you will stick together and I'll protect you."

I turn and wrap my other arm around her and pull her even closer, burying my face in her hair. "I can protect myself. I've gotten real strong."

"Mmm you have. But i'll protect you anyway."
