Vow [Katsuki Bakugou x Reader]

[Chapter 40]: Vow

"And after that, when we graduate... I want you there with me too."

Those words echoed in your mind for what seemed like forever, but in reality was only a few seconds.

"K-Katsuki... What do you... Do you mean..." The words just wouldn't form a sentence. Katsuki tilted his head, somewhat puzzled. An awkward silence befell you both.

It took him a moment to actually realize what he just said. He dropped your hand and stumbled back a bit, a blush exploding across his face as his jaw began quaking in an attempt to make out words.

"WAIT W-WAIT, LEMME REPHRASE THAT. I UHHHH I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT I MEANT IT L-LIKE I RESPECT YOUR CAPABILITIES AND I THINK YOU'LL BE A TOP HERO LIKE ME!" When his words ceased he just stood there in silence, waiting for you to say something. The only thing you could really do was laugh at that point.

"PFFFFFTTTTTT you're such a dork Katsuki."

"THE FUCK DID YOU SAY?! I'LL KICK YOUR ASS." You just observed his raging for a bit before holding out your hand to him. He paused and looked down at it with questioning eyes. "What is it?"

"A promise." You responded. He raised an eyebrow. "I promise that I'll rise to the top with you." You anxiously awaited a handshake that never came. Rather the boy grabbed your wrist and yanked you into his embrace, wrapping his arms around your back.

"You idiot, we're past handshakes now." He nuzzled his nose into your hair, only squeezing you tighter against him. His embrace never failed to make you feel safe. You nuzzled your face into his chest and smiled warmly.

"Mmph..."

"What is it?"

"I was just thinking that I like the way you smell Katsuki..." You could feel his heartbeat instantly get faster. Without warning he released you and took hold of your wrist, pulling you down the sidewalk.

"Come." Eh?

"What do you mean? Where are we going?"

"My room."

It took you a moment to realize what exactly he wanted. 

Wait... wAiT... WAIT WHOA WHOA MAYDAY MAYDAY!

"W-WAIT A SECOND KATSUKI..."

"What is it? Do you not want to?"

"No... It's not that I don't want to..." He was still pulling you down the sidewalk.

"Good, then there's no problem."

"YES THERE IS!"

"THEN WHAT THE HELL IS IT, SPIT IT OUT ALRE-"

"I'M ON MY PERIOD YOU FOOL!" That made him stop. He just stood there for a moment before turning back at you with an extremely flushed face. He brought his hand up to rub the back of his neck.

"So uhhh... Does it hurt?" He muttered.

Oh my gosh he really is a dork...

"Eh, a little." You chuckled. "But I mean if you still wanna hang out, I've got Pokemon and snacks at my house."

"The fuck do you take me for? Let's go."

"KATSUKI HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU? YOU CAN'T BEAT THE GAME WITH ONLY FIRE POKEMON." You were leaning up against your bed with Katsuki between your legs as you watched him play your DS.

"SHUT UP WOMEN, IF I LEVEL THEM UP ENOUGH I CAN!"

"YOU IDIOT, YOU HAVE TO USE THE MOVE 'SURF' TO GET TO OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD. NO FIRE POKEMON CAN USE SURF."
