Vow [Katsuki Bakugou x Reader]

[Chapter 21]: Stay

"Then don't." You mumbled. Katsuki's eyes shot up to look at you. Your head was slightly turned away, and a blush ran all the way from your ears over your nose. He sighed before pulling you down the stairs into his embrace.

"Don't say something like that when you can't even look at me directly you idiot." He said against your hair. You nuzzled your face into the crook of his neck. "I don't expect you to be okay with someone touching you after all that's happened. Don't lie to me."

You couldn't help it, your eyes began welling up with tears. Clutching at Katsuki's shirt you pulled yourself into him closer, more desperate than before. He pulled away and glanced down at you.

"Keep the dress on. You uh... look cute." 

You peered into his eyes and took in all the features of his face. You knew he was good-looking, but you had never really gotten to examine him so closely. His skin was clear, his jawline was sharp, and his eyes, oh man his eyes were something else. It was as though his gaze could see the thoughts and feelings you had forever hidden. 

"What the hell are you looking at?" Katsuki huffed.

You shook your head and stepped back a bit before sheepishly rubbing the back of your neck.

"Sorry, it's just... You're really handsome Katsuki..." 

He gasped, blushing profusely before turning quickly and stomping towards the door.

"ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE THIS IMPOSSIBLE FOR ME YOU DAMN IDIOT. COME ON LET'S GO ALREADY!"

- - -

Katsuki didn't really have a plan and you were okay with that. You knew he wasn't the type to plan a whole day of activities in advance, so you both just went with the flow.

"Before we do anything, I need coffee." You were a coffee fiend. It helped you run on the minimal sleep you usually got.

"This is why you get enough sleep you fucking idiot." He groaned. "WHO THE HELL GETS UP AT 5 AM TO TRAIN EVERY MORNING?!" 

"Hush Hush. And I don't wanna hear you say a damn word until you beat me in a fist fight." You knew what was coming. Katsuki didn't hesitate before taking a swing at you. You ducked and jumped back before chuckling. "Damn Katsuki, you have a strange way of flirting." He clenched his fist and was visibly shaking.

"THAT'S IT LET'S GO RIGHT NOW." 

"I guess I could use a little exercise this morning." You smirked, cracking your knuckles." Whoever pins the other first wins. Loser buys coffee?" 

"Sounds like a deal to me!"

- - -

Katsuki groaned as he handed the barista his cash. You laughed before walking up behind him and patting him on the head.

"It's alright, you'll get me next time champ." 

"I'll kill you."

- - -

You walked through the city and happily sipped on your coffee. Katsuki was still clearly pissed that he lost to you. You chuckled a bit seeing his pouting face.

"The fuck are you laughing at?" He mumbled grumpily at you. 

"Oh, nothing at all." You looked away and sarcastically responded.

He huffed before swiping the coffee from your hand and taking a sip. A moment later he spat it out.

"WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT?!"
