Listen (Bakugo Katsuki x Reader)

Chapter 34

Eijiro then turned towards Izuku to continue explaining his plan of rescue.

"To tell you the truth, Todoroki and I came yesterday, too. While walking to your room, we saw All Might and a police officer talking to Yaoyorozu. She said that with the help of Awase from Class B, she had attached a tracking device upon one of the villains that night. Yesterday, she handed over the receiver to the heroes." The redhead narrated which irked Iida within our group as he realized what Eijiro and Shouto were planning to do.

"Don't tell me you want to have Yaoyorozu make another receiver!" Iida bellowed to which Shouto stood his ground as he answered coldly with "What if I do?"

This made the raven-haired boy grit his teeth in anger. Iida-kun. I get that maybe he was reminiscing the amount of pain he had caused the heroes and everyone around him when he, too, tried to do something reckless.

"It's like All Might said! We should leave it to the pros! It's not our place to act, fools!" Iida roared as his eyes darkened.

"I know! But I couldn't do anything! After hearing that my friend was a target, I couldn't do anything! I didn't do anything! I felt so guilty that I tried to console myself by taking care of Y/N for Bakugo, but I figured that's just me making excuses again!" Eijiro retorted as he clasped his chest in pain, his eyes frantic and could not stay in place.

"If I don't act now, I can no longer live as a man, let alone, a hero!" The redhead concluded, his voice echoing throughout the room. I felt his remorse and worry seeping through his words. He, too, must have been deeply affected by Katsuki's absence.

"Kirishima, this is a hospital, calm down! It's fine to be upset, but this time..." Denki spoke in hope to pacify the troubled Eijiro.

"Iida-chan is right, kero." Tsuyu continued as the room quieted. By this time, the class was separated into two factions. Those who sided with Iida, and those with Eijiro, which, at the moment, included only Shouto and I.

All of us were then startled by a knock on the door. "Sorry for interrupting, but it's time for Midoriya to be examined." The hospital staff informed us as he went inside.

This helped us break the tension in the room as each of our classmates were ushered outside. Eijiro, Shouto, and I stood at the edge of Izuku's bed as the boys spoke all of a sudden.

"I talked to Yaoyorozu yesterday."
"If we must act, we must do it tonight."

Their sentiments left me in surprise as well. They had planned this all along?! Izuku bit his lip in response as his frame quivered. As his eyes met mine, he frantically lowered his gaze before I was able to say anything.

"We'll be waiting for you tonight, in front of the hospital." Eijiro remarked towards our green-haired friend as the redhead held me lightly by my arm, pulling me towards the door.

Upon leaving the room, it felt like our hearts were drowning in their own burdens. But, even though I knew Iida and the others had a point, the thought of finally getting to see Katsuki again was all that mattered to me at the moment.

"We're going to save him no matter what Y/N. Just you wait." The redhead reassured me, slightly pinching my arm as he plastered a sad smile. I gently placed my hand above his, weakly smiling back at him. I really hope so, Eijiro-kun.

Outside of the Hospital

Eijiro, Shouto and I stood by the entrance hoping, praying, that at least Yaomomo would come by and hand us the receiver. Even if it's just us three, as long as we have the villain's location, the plan's doable.

"I wonder what Yaoyorozu decided." Eijiro muttered under his breath, his eyebrows twitching upon his tensed state.

"In the end, it's up to her. No matter how we—" Shouto's remark was cut off by the sudden opening of the hospital's doors.
