Flower Girl || Bakugo x Y/n

Chapter 10: Battle Trial

Y/n's POV
—————————————————————————

Teams of two. Heroes and villains. Heroes either have to capture both villains or secure the faux weapon before the time runs out. I was on a team, as a villain, with Kaminari. We both successfully protected the bomb and our team won.

Katsuki and Iida as villains.
Izuku and Uraraka as heroes.

This is bad. My hands are shaking as I watch the fight escalate. Silently telling Katsuki to stop as he progressively gets more and more angry. Deku refuses to use his quirk, using fucking tape to fight Katsuki.

"It wont kill him if he dodges." As he charges up what I know is about to be a huge explosion. Shit. I hear our classmates calling him crazy. Telling All Might to tell the boys to stop, he doesn't listen.

Deku ends up okay after the explosion. But Katsuki doesn't stop. Grabbing the boy by the arm, smashing his gauntlet against his elbow, flinging the boy on his back. He just doesn't stop. All might needs to stop them.

I put my shaking hand over my mouth, but I can't look away as I watch the two boys I grew up with fighting like it's life or death.

Izuku finally uses his quirk, but not to hit Katsuki. Uraraka ends up securing the bomb right before the time ticks zero, securing the win for the hero team.

I watch as Katsuki freezes, his hand in front of him as it shakes, his eyes blown wide. He's having a panic attack.

"Oh god." I whisper as i put my hands over my face and shake my head.

Bakugo's POV
————————————————————————
I can't fucking breathe. My chest feels tight, my throat starts to close and my eyes sting. Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck. Stupid fucking Deku.

I feel numb as I make my way out of Ground Beta. Can't fucking breathe. Can't think. Useless Deku beat me. The quirkless hero wannabe.

"Katsuki!" My Y/n. What is she doing over here? I look up at her as she runs toward me. "What were you thinking, Katsuki? Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere? Come here you big idiot." She grabs my forearm and pulls me toward her, wrapping her arms around my neck and whispering reassuring phrases in my ear. She pulls away and grabs my hand. "Let's go. We can talk at home." Her voice is kinda flat? Is she mad at me? She hates me. She would always get so sad when I was mean to him in junior high. Now I basically tried to fucking kill him.

"I'm sorry." My voice was barely above a whisper and cracking.

"I'm not the one you need to apologize to."
————————————————————————
We're lying in Y/n's bed. My head is laying in her lap while she brushes her hand through my hair. She ended up going to see Deku, asking if he's okay. Most of the damage to his body ended up being from his own damn quirk. Their relationship is strained but she still cares about him. I refuse to apologize. I will beat him. He'll use his quirk and I will fucking beat him.

Y/n hasn't said much since we got home. I can't tell what she's thinking and I can't stand it. She's comforting me but seems mad at me at the same time. Is this how Deku would feel when she stood up for him and then told her they'd never be friends? I think I'm finally realizing how confusing this girl is.

"You shouldn't have done what you did today." Her voice was soft and didn't sound mad at all. Just disappointed. That's somehow worse. "You have to stop reading into things so much, Katsuki. Not everything that boy does is his way of 'looking down on you'. This has gone on for too long. He's not useless, quirkless Deku anymore. Now the goals he's had his whole life are finally achievable. But that doesn't mean you won't be able to achieve your goals either." She takes a deep breath and starts again. "All of us are training to be heroes. As much as you hate it, Deku is too. And once we finish our studies and get out into the real world, we're all going to be working together. You're on the same team, Katsuki. Whether you're number one or number one hundred, you guys are both heroes that'll have to work together at some point. So you guys have to stop this rivalry bullshit. Wanting to be better than each other and friendly competition is one thing, but what you guys did today is something completely different."

I bury my face deeper in her lap. I hate that she's right. She's always right. "I know, Angel. It's just.. complicated. Complicated as fuck."

"I know. And you guys will work it out. I'm not saying you guys have to be best friends tomorrow, but eventually you'll have to drop this." I just nodded.

We sat there on her bed for a while, eventually Clover, her cat, hopped on the bed and snuggled up with us.

"Okay I'm exhausted. I need to sleep. Are you sleeping in here or going to your room?" When I didn't answer and made no move to get up she lifted my head from her lap and placed it on the pillow. Then she slid down, getting under the covers and comfortable, then wrapping her arms around me and sighing in contentment. "Night, Katsuki."

"Goodnight, Angel." I whisper, place a gentle kiss to the top of her head, before drifting to sleep.
