Fight Fire With Fire || Bakugou Katsuki x Reader

15- Not All Bad

The rest of the day passes as a blur. The class decides to stay after the bell to teach Midoriya what he missed, but you were much too exhausted to stay, so you excused yourself.

"Sorry, I have stuff to do at home." You tell them. There was no way you'd tell the you had been on the verge of passing out for the past few hours.

"Oh okay... Well, see you tomorrow than, L/n-chan!" Uraraka waved to you as you walked out the door.

Bakugou had just left, and just as you turned to walk down the hall, you bumped into someone.

"Watch it- oh Midoriya. Everyone's waiting for you in the class." You say blankly, and continue on your way.

"What's up with her...?" Midoriya murmurs. He failed to see Bakugou, the person he was looking for, turning down the hall.

As you were walking down the stairs outside, someone bursts through the doors and runs into you. You fall forward, and hit the ground hard. "Oww... What the fuck man?!" You prop yourself up on your elbows and look up to see Midoriya.

"I'm so sorry, L/n-san!!! I didn't see you!!" He tries to help you up, but like Todoroki, you swat his hand away.

"Great now I'm going to get even more bruises... Don't ever do that again, got it?" You were in a really bad mood now. Things just kept getting worse.

You stand up and continue walking. Midoriya sees Bakugou about to walk off school grounds and runs towards him. You can't understand what they're talking about, but you can tell that whatever it is, the both have strong feelings about it.

Before you continue walking, you pull out your phone and ear buds so you don't eavesdrop. As you start to pass by Bakugou who was now walking away from Midoriya, Allmight swoops down and grand his shoulder. He was right beside you, so you were quite startled.

"Whoa!" You jump back, and feel yourself falling. Not again...! An arm shoots out, and you feel a hand on your back underneath you. Looking up, you make eye contact with a red eyed Bakugou. Is he... Crying...?

"Geez, can't you go five minutes without tripping over yourself?" He asks angrily.

"You didn't have to catch me!" You huff. "But... Thanks..." You add quietly. A light blush tints his cheeks, but you failed to notice. Bending down, you pick up your ear buds, which has fallen out. When you stand up, you continue on your way off school grounds.

A few minutes later, and Bakugou is walking next to you. The two of you walk in silence, until he takes one of your ear buds out. "Hey! What was that-"

"This fell out of your bag." Bakugou shoves something in your face before speed walking away.

"E-eh...?" You look down to see a note in your hands. "I don't remember seeing this... Maybe someone put it in my bag when I wasn't looking...?"

When you unfolded and read the note, you were surprised by what it said. The only words on the page were "I'm sorry" in messy handwriting on the center of the page. For some reason, you found yourself smiling at the thought of the note being from Bakugou. But there was no way it could be from him, right?

The only people you could think of that had wronged you were Yaoyorozu and Midoriya, but Yaoyorozu wouldn't have apologized or had this bad of handwriting, and Midoriya wouldn't have had time to write the note. Plus, both had already verbally apologized, even if Yaoyorozu didn't mean it.

If Kaminari or Kirishima did anything, they would have just said it, or texted you. "That leaves... Bakugou...? But he wouldn't have... Would he? He did run off pretty fast... What was he apologizing for then? Maybe calling me names... No. He calls everyone names. Oh! The first day when I fell on him! That would make sense because he caught me when I fell!" You were proud that you figure it out, but mortified when you realized you said all of that out loud. Luckily, no one was around to have heard what you said.

When you finally get home, the first thing you do is grab your favourite snack. As you chow down, you check to see if you have any new texts. You have a few from Kirishima and Kaminari, who tell you to cheer up, and how well you fought Todoroki.

Smiling and already feeling better, you text them back thanking them. You feel your eyes starting to close, so you trudge to your room. As soon as your head hits the pillow, you fall into a deep sleep.
