My Fantasy (Katsuki Bakugou x OC)

Wanna chat?

Ainu's POV
~Time skip~

Fall starts to approach us as time passes after the Hassaikai incident and things go back to a normal pace. I slept for more hours than usual that night, but steadily got back to full strength within that week. We went back to class like nothing happened. Even though everyone was alive and well, I could tell that the ones that were a part of that mission were changed from it. I hope they're okay.

I noticed something after that day as well. I kept noticing Bakugou staring at me. I wonder if he wanted to say something, but I was never able to get to him during a reasonable time.

I'm NOT going to make him stay up late a third time.

So today, I've decided to get a cafeteria lunch to see if I can talk with him. I know he said he needed time and I still plan on giving him that. There just might be something else he wants to talk about and I will be happy to listen.

I walk into the cafeteria and get my lunch. I then scan the room for Bakugou and when I find that familiar poofy blonde hair, I sit next to him. He's sitting alone today.

"What do you want?"

I pick up my chopsticks. "I wanna talk."

"If you're looking for an answer, I don't have one."

"That's fine." I take a bite. "Either way, that's not why I'm here."

"Well, what is it?"

"I've noticed you looking at me a lot for a while now. It seems like you have something you want to say."

Bakugou tsks and takes a bite of his food. I continue to eat as well.

Just give him time..

After a bit, I feel anxious. I feel the want to talk and get to the point he has been signaling to want to get to for a while now, but before I even open my mouth-

"Not only did you heal All Might, like you said you would that night, but you healed an entire hospital as well. Including Nighteye, All Might's former sidekick, who was presumably on his deathbed until you arrived."

I nod.

"Do you still think of yourself as weak?"

I pause for a second to think. "Maybe my power is the one that is strong." I look at my open right hand. "Maybe I am weak for relying on it so much and that my strength comes from it and not me."

A moment of background noise. I look over at Bakugou and he's staring at me. He's in thought.

His eyes...

Those rose colored eyes stare at me with understanding or familiarity maybe. I feel warm from it. My body feels jittery from it as well. I want to look away, but I choose to keep the stare.

Wait for him to break it.

"What did you learn from Mirko?"

"A lot, but most importantly: That I'm the one in control and that I should not fear the power I have been given."

He nods. "Glad someone finally nailed that into your skull."

I sweatdrop. "Yeah, it was a long time coming, huh?"

A small smile subtly stretches across his face. I decide to not bring attention to it as hard as that may be.

"Well what about you? What have you been learning from the remedial courses?"

And just like that, the smile was gone. He breaks our gaze and looks forward. "Nothing much really. Not anything interesting anyway."

"Oh come on! Surely there's at least one day where things went differently."
