Fight Fire With Fire || Bakugou Katsuki x Reader

26- Thanks and Apologizes

Bakugou's POV:

About an hour later, a nurse comes in and wakes me up. "Excuse me, but visiting hours are over now. Don't worry, your girlfriend will be home within a few days. We just need to do a few more tests and wait for her to heal a little more."

"Hm? Oh yeah sure. Wait! She's not my girlfriend!!" I feel my face go red and the nurse chuckles.

"Whatever you say kid," She let's me out of the room. "Don't worry, we'll make sure she's safe and back at school in no time." I sigh and look down the empty halls. The faint clicking of heels can be heard, as well as a buzzing from the lights and  machinery. As I make my way to the front, I call my parents and wait for them to take me home. 

Two days later... (No one's POV)

School was temporarily closed the day after the incident. No one really knew how to get over it. And then...

"All right, listen!! It's time for the morning homeroom period! Take your seats everyone!!" Iida orders.

"We are in our seats. You're the only one who's not." Sero says.

The door opens, and the students are all shocked to see Aizawa standing there. A muffled, "Morning." Comes from beneath a face covered completely in bandages.

"Aizawa-sensei you're already back?!!! Now that's beyond pro!!" The class shouts. "Sensei, you're alright?!"

"Can you really call that 'alright'....?" Uraraka questions.

"Don't concern yourselves over me. After all-"

"I'm here!" A happy shout comes from the door. It opens once more to reveal you with a cast over your arm, and bandages around your arms and head.

Aizawa sighs. "You're late."

"Sorry sensei, I had to beg the doctor to release me early and let me come to school... But I did it!" You smile.

"Alright, take your seat. I won't mark it down just this once." Aizawa sighs. Once you sit down you smile at Bakugou, Kirishima, Kaminari, and those who looked your way, and Aizawa clears his throat. "As I was saying, don't concern yourselves over me. After all, this battle hasn't really ended for you yet."

"The battle?" (Bakugou)

"You don't mean..." (Midoriya)

"More villains?!!" (Mineta)

"Yuuei's sports festival is fast approaching, boys and girls!" Aizawa says.

"Oh yeah, this is a school!!" The class shouts.

"Wait holdup, that sounds like something villains would try to infiltrate... Will it be alright?" Someone asks.

"On the contrary: since we're going ahead with the festival, it means that the school is confident it has all its ducks in a row when it comes to its crisis control now. I hear police presence will be five times bigger than normal, for example." Aizawa pauses for a moment. "What you should be thinking about is... What a huge chance the academy's sports festival presents for you all."

"No, if villains do appear can we halt it please?" Mineta begs.

Midoriya turns around in shock. "Mineta... Have you never seen the Yuuei sports festival?!"

"Of course I have! That's not it at all–..."

"This isn't some event that'll be brought to a halt by the likes of villains. The sports festival is one of Japan's biggest events!! In days past, the Olympics was the sports festivity that whipped all the nation into excitement! But now, as you know, the extent and population have shrunk and its lost a lot of substance. So what had taken the place of the Olympics in Japan is the Yuuei sports festival!"

"The country's top heroes are sure to be watching us! It's because they'll be scouting for us!" Yaoyorozu explains to Mineta.

Back to normal POV:

By the end of forth period, modern lit, you were ready for lunch. "Now I feel like the tension is flying sky high!!" Kirishima says loudly. Tokoyami nods in agreement.

"If we put in the effort and stand out to a pro, it'll be a giant leap forward!" Sero agrees.

"Hey Bakugou, can I talk to you for a minute in the hall?" You ask.

He looks up at you from his seat and shrugs. "Yeah whatever," He follows you out into the hall and waits for you to speak.

You make eye contact with him and give him a gentle smile. "Thank you. Kirishima told me all about how you saved me from the villains the other day, and how even though I was burning to touch, you still carried me. It made me really happy to hear, and I really appreciate it." He seems surprised by your sincerity.

"Uh... You're welcome..." He scratches the back of his neck awkwardly.

"Here. It's a thank you for the saving me, and an apology for how I acted when we first met. Can we start over?" You feel sweat start to form on your palms as you shakily hold out a container. It was filled with curry, and you had pastries with you as well.

"Yeah, that's cool with me, Y/n. You're actually not so bad. Better not taste like shit though." He takes the food and you smile.

"And how would you know what shit tastes like, Bakugou?" He glares at you and you laugh.

"Oi, you two ready to come eat lunch now?" Kirishima calls from the doorway.

"Yep~!" With that, you, Bakugou, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero all head to lunch.
