Vow [Katsuki Bakugou x Reader]

[Chapter 28]: To overtake him

Shakily, you stumble out of the shower and over to the mirror. Upon wiping away the condensation, you were greeted by someone you barely knew. Your hair was tangled, your usually calm face was flushed and your pupils dilated. Even your breathing had yet to slow down. The room was still spinning as you attempted to pull on the clothes Katsuki had laid out for you.

"Wait a sec, what the..." You quickly noticed that the clothing given to you was Katsuki's. You peered into the mirror, observing how the over-sized shirt and sweatpants hung somewhat cutely against your body. 

Ah geez...

You quietly shuffled out of the bathroom and down the hallway, stopping at Katsuki's room. It took you a moment to gather yourself and calm your still racing thoughts.

It's fine (y/n). You just have to be calm and collected. This is normal, you two are dating. There's no need to be embarrassed...

And so you opened the door gently, quickly being met by Katsuki gaze.

"Ah (y/n), how was-" You turned around instantly, completely unable to look into his eyes. You couldn't help but think back to just a few minutes ago. The way his eyes glared seductively at you and the feeling of his hands traveling across your naked body. And then you remembered the plentiful moans and whimpers that escaped you as you practically begged him to touch you.

The familiar racing of your heart, as well as the blush you thought you had dismissed returned full throttle. Katsuki tilted his head, confused. 

YOU'RE NOT BEING CALM AND COLLECTED (Y/N).

"Oi (y/n), what's your fucking deal? Why are you facing the wall?"

"JUST APPRECIATING THIS FINE PAINT COLOR YOU HAVE HERE."

"Uhhh my walls are white you idiot." He walked up behind you and placed a hand on your shoulder. "Turn around." You could only shake your head no in response.

I can't let him see me like this...

"Oi did you hear me shit for brains?" He forcibly yanked you around to face him. However, you still kept your face turned as far away as possible from him. It was to no avail as Katsuki already noticed your flushed cheeks and hazy eyes. He could tell you were still in a daze over what happened.

He even found himself starting to blush. Katsuki always tried to appear cool on the outside, but internally he had been freaking out ever since the ordeal. There was a moment of lingering silence, where Katsuki just found himself lost in your beauty. His craving to touch you once again returned. Reaching out to you, he softly spoke.

"(Y/n)..."

"DINNER'S READY KIDS!" Mitsuki called down the hallway, pulling you both out of your trance. Katsuki pulled his hand away to scratch the back of his neck and muttered.

"Those clothes..." You glanced up at him, noticing his eyes now avoiding yours and a crimson tint across his cheeks. "They look cute on you..." It was rare for you to receive a compliment from Katsuki. It made your heart nearly jump out of your chest. You smiled warmly and lightly punched his arm with a chuckle.

"Aww look at you being all romantic and shit. I didn't know you were so sappy Kacchan." The blush vanished almost instantly from his face and his eyes narrowed. He grabbed your arm and pulled you closer, bringing his face up to your ear. He smirked and breathily whispered.

"Actually, I think those clothes would look a lot better on the floor..." A shiver shot through your body. It startled you but you managed to hold it together.

"MITSUKI, YOUR SON IS WHISPERING WEIRD THINGS TO ME!" Not a moment later, she kicked down Katsuki's door.

"KATSUKI BAKUGOU I SWEAR TO FUCKING GOD, IF YOU RUIN YOUR CHANCE WITH THE ONE GIRL WHO WILL DATE YOU..."

- - -

"Well now that that's settled, let's enjoy some delicious curry!" Mitsuki smiled brightly and passed a plate to you. You were practically drooling over how it smelled.

Katsuki's father Masaru had also joined you at the table. The two had been making small talk with you about school, work, and everything in between. Katsuki was pouting in the corner and had barely touched his food, still upset over getting yelled at.

"So (y/n). You're in class 1-A with Katsuki, right? What's your quirk?" 

Oh boy. 

You took a moment before speaking, pushing your food around the plate.

"My quirk? Uhh well, you see... it's uhhhh..." Both parents eagerly waited for your answer. You gulped, questioning how much you could really tell them.

"Her quirk is called Fission. She can produce energy and use it for various things by splitting atoms with her palms. It's fucking sick." Katsuki calmly stated.

"HOLY SHIT FOR REAL?! THAT'S AMAZING (Y/N)!" Mitsuki exclaimed. 

Amazing huh? 

You blushed and shyly rubbed the back of your head. "Wow, you and that idiot must make quite the power couple then!"

"I HAVE A NAME YOU OLD HAG!"

"HOW BOUT YOU USE MINE FOR ONCE YOU LITTLE SHIT!" You couldn't help but laugh. Masaru sighed.

"Now now you two, (y/n)'s gonna think we're a crazy family..." Katsuki fumed while Mitsuki tried to laugh it off. 

How nice.

You smiled and took another bite of the curry. It was warm. Everything was warm. Their house was a home, complete with a loving family. You glanced up, seeing Mitsuki silently continuing to scold Katsuki as Masaru chuckled. I... A tear ran down your cheek and you felt a tightness in your throat.

This must be what it's like...

"EH, (Y/N) ARE YOU OKAY?!" You stopped eating and reached up to touch your face. You didn't even realize that you had started crying. "You don't have to eat the curry if you don't like it (y/n)..."

"NO NO NO, Mitsuki it's delicious..." You wiped the tears from your cheeks quickly and placed your hands on your lap, gripping your sweatpants. "It's just..."You bit your lip, trying to prevent any pathetic whimpers from escaping. Your mind raced to thoughts of your family. The fact that they never truly loved you and they're all gone. "I just..."

Crap...

You jolted a bit as Katsuki placed his hand on top of yours beneath the table. He gently circled his thumb around the top of your hand, causing your shaking grip to release the sweatpants. Katsuki looked up at his mother and gave her the signature, 'Don't make her talk about it, her whole family is dead' look. Mitsuki furrowed her brow and nodded.

"Mom, why don't you go grab my baby pictures." Her face instantly lit back up.

"WAIT HERE, I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!" She excitedly jumped up from her seat and ran down the hallway to grab as many albums as possible. She came back in a hurry and pushed the food out of the way, plopping a few of them in front of you.

You sniffled and began to flip through the pages, jaw-dropping wide open at the sheer adorableness of it all. Katsuki had turned to face the other way out of sheer embarrassment. He crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in annoyance.

But as he heard your warm laughter, he couldn't help but allow a gentle smile to overtake him.
