Ignite {A Bakugou x Fem Reader Story}

Chapter Thirty Four

You yawn as you slide the classroom door open and drag your feet over to your desk. Your bag slides off your shoulder and you groan at the effort of having to pick it up. Denki is quick to pick up your bag and place it back on your shoulder, accustomed to the clumsy way you've been showing up to school recently.
You offer him a tired smile, "Thanks, Denks."
As you barely make it to your desk without collapsing, you slump into your chair and rest your head on your desk.

Patrolling with your father late into the night and waking up early for school these past three days has proven to be taxing. You're used to not getting much sleep but having to fight off a variety of villains every night is extremely different than staying up late reading and watching movies. Your father has told you multiple times that he'd excuse your absence from school, but if he could manage balancing a teaching job and his work as a pro, you could handle being a student and somewhat of your father's sidekick. Though, you did manage to convince him to excuse you from any homework during your work study.

Aizawa enters the room, sluggishly taking his place at his podium. A few papers slip out of his hands and he groans as he bends to pick them up.
You watch through half lidded eyes as your classmates look between you and their teacher.
"Creepy."
"They're like...identical."

The rest of the day is a blur. Sometime during the last period, the idea that maybe you should have taken today off hits you like a brick. You fight with all your might against your falling eyelids. It isn't until the last bell rings and your lashes flutter open that you realize you'd lost the battle at some point. You rub your eyes and slowly stand, the movement sending a wave of dizziness over you.
A curse slips past your lips and you pinch the bridge of your nose, attempting to ward off the start of a migraine.

Mina takes hold of your arm as she guides you out of the classroom.
"Wait...my bag..." You toss a heavy hand pointing back towards your desk.
Bakugou scoffs, "I've got it, idiot. And I'm putting the notes from last period in your damn folder."
Denki throws a glance in his direction, "Can I get a copy of those, too?"
"What the hell is your excuse?!" Bakugou's voice sends your head reeling.
"I ate too much at lunch and was suffering from a serious food coma." Denki explains as he pats his stomach.

The four of you make your way back to the dorms. Upon entering, Bakugou goes straight to his room to get his assignments done while you, Denki, and Mina grab something to drink from the kitchen.
"Wanna watch a movie in my room?" You ask as you pour coffee into a mug.
The two look at you wearily.
"Shouldn't you sleep or something?"
You shrug, "The nap I took last period actually helped. And I don't have my work study tonight, so I'll just sleep then."
Denki smiles, "Good. I'm glad you get to rest tonight."
"So what movie should we watch?" Mina asks, poking the straw into her juice.
You clasp your hands together, "Please, can we watch Star Wars. I promise you're going to like it."
Mina groans, "Fine, only because I really love you.
Your electric friend shrugs, "I'm down. I finally get to watch it."

After the three of you all go to change into comfortable clothes, Mina and Denki knock on your door. You finish setting up the movie on your laptop and prop it atop your desk as your friends plop onto the bed, getting comfortable.
"Okay, I am telling you right now, you are going to have questions." You explain, sitting down in between the two, "And I promise, they will be answered. Just pay attention."
You reach over to hit play on your laptop and sit back against the wall.

The movie hasn't even hit the one-hour mark when the heavy breathing and soft snoring of deep sleep taunts your ears. A disappointed sigh slips past your lips as you push Denki's head back every time it dips forward in his sleep.
'I guess I'll save you from the inevitable neck pain.'

Just as you're turning off the movie and closing your laptop, someone knocks gently at your door.
You get off the bed, careful not to wake your friends, and swing the door open.
"I have your bag..." Bakugou's voice trails off as he finds Mina and Denki knocked out on your bed, "This is why you idiots are always failing! Did you do the assignments?!"
You step out into the hallway, closing the door behind you, "My dad excused me from all assignments during my work study. We were watching a movie and they fell asleep."
He scoffs, shaking his head as he hands you your bag, "Here."
The strap slips past your fingers and Bakugou is quick to catch it. You don't miss the soft hiss that slips past his lips when he catches your bag with the hand he'd been keeping in his pocket.
