Vow [Katsuki Bakugou x Reader]

[Chapter 29]: Tranquil

"Thank you so much for the food Mitsuki." It had been such a good night. Eventful for damn sure. She set the dish she was cleaning down and ran over, pulling you into a big hug.

"Oh course, anytime (y/n)! Do you really have to go? I was thinking we could all watch a movie together." She put you down and you smiled brightly at her as you pulled your shoes on.

"I'd really love to, but my brother just got back tonight from a business trip and I've been missing him." She glanced at you with a pouting face, causing you to chuckle a bit. "But I'll definitely come by soon again."

"YEEEEE!" Mitsuki squealed in excitement, causing Katsuki to cover his ears.

"God shut the fuck up ya old h-"

"Katsuki." Your eyes darted at him before he could finish his statement. He clicked his tongue and grabbed your arm.

"Whatever, let's go already." He opened the front door and started out.

"Eh? I don't need you to chaperone me, I only live a few blocks away."

"Shut up idiot. I'm walking you home like the fucking gentleman I am." He practically dragged you away from his mother and down the sidewalk.

"Wow so gentlemanly." You jokingly chuckled at him with a raised eyebrow. Katsuki took no time throwing your arm away and pivoting around.

"ON SECOND THOUGHT, WALK HOME YOURSEL-" You intertwine your fingers in his tenderly, causing his face to heat up. The way he squeezed his fingers against yours signified that he wasn't actually mad. For someone who screamed half the time, it was amazing how much louder his actions spoke. The walk felt too short. As you arrived at your door, you began to unlace your fingers. But Katsuki didn't let go. You glanced up at him a bit confused.

"Uh Katsuki, we're here." He appeared to snap back to reality, quickly releasing your fingers. He found himself a bit embarrassed by how clingy he had been acting. You just took a moment to observe the way he sheepishly ran his fingers through his hair, a faint blush across his cheeks. A chuckle escaped your throat.

"You're cute Katsuki."

"Eh? What the fuck do you mean by that?!" You didn't answer verbally. You only reached up, wrapping your arms around his neck and pressing your lips against his. Although shocked at first Katsuki didn't take long to close his eyes and wrap his arms around your waist, melting against you. It was sweet and gently, innocent almost. You pulled away, dragging your hands down his chest and pressing your forehead against him.

"Thank you Katsuki..."

"Huh? For what?" He looked down at you puzzled.

"Just for being you. I haven't been this happy in a long time." Your voice was soft and gentle against his chest. His heart strained at your words, warming his entire body.

"(Y/n)... I..." He whispered, causing you to lift your head from him and gaze into his crimson eyes. 

Is he gonna... 

Katsuki removed his hands from your waist, reaching up and pinching your cheeks.

"Of course you're happy. I'm fucking great."

"KATSUKI THAT HURTS DAMMIT!" You whined, pounding your fists against his chest. He laughed. It was a laugh so genuine that it warmed your soul.

"Tomorrow..." You started. Katsuki paused his cackling to glance at you, releasing your cheeks. "Tomorrow, I'll tell Aizawa that I want to start using my quirk in class." Another torch had been lit within you, causing a fire to burn in your eyes. Katsuki smiled.
