You walked away from Bakugou, entering the classroom. Seeing that it was lunchtime, you searched for Izuku and tagged along with him. After getting your lunches, you went with him to eat with two of his friends. Their names were Uraraka and Tenya. The four of you had a conversation about your quirks.

"Y/N! Your quirk sounds so cool! You could take over the universe or something!" Uraraka exclaimed. You giggled. Tenya scoffed, saying, "That doesn't sound very heroic, Uraraka..." The girl looked as if she were thinking. "You're right... But at least Y/N has an awesome quirk!" Izuku and Tenya agreed, and you just sat there, face slightly flushed. "It's not that amazing..."

"OI! BITCH WITH THE H/C HAIR!" The voice was none other than Bakugou's. "What do you want, Bakugou..?" You sighed, turning around to see his furious expression. "Why're you hanging out with that quirkless bastard?" You looked at Izuku, then back at Bakugou. "Why do you care? It's my choice to hang out with him, not yours." You scowled. "No wonder why no one seems to be hanging out with you." Bakugou looked away. "Whatever. You're all just stepping stones for my path to becoming the best hero." He walked away from you, and you couldn't help but notice tiny explosions coming out from his palms.

At the end of the day, you walked out of the classroom. Aizawa's house wasn't very close to the school. Your quirk was useful to get home instantly, but the exercise was worth the walk. As you walked out of the school entrance, a certain ash-blonde was walking behind you. You ignored it for a while, but when you saw that he was still following you, you turned around. "What do you want, Bakugou?" You glared at him as he stood mere inches away from you. "I just wanted to repay you for what you did earlier." Bakugou grabbed you by the collar and threw you roughly to the ground. You tried to stop time, but you hesitated. Your body hit the ground before you could activate your quirk. The sudden pressure on your side made you wince in pain. "That's what you get for being a fuckin' brat." He walked around your beaten-up body and went on the way to his house. Bakugou slowly felt remorse for what he did to you, and he ran back to see if you were okay.

You could barely stand up. Leaning against the nearest object, you used most of your strength to open a rift on the ground in front of you, leading into your house's living room. Looking to the side, you saw Bakugou running towards you. Before you walked into the rift, you scowled at Bakugou. "G-Go die, Baka-gou." You walked towards it, then you tripped and fell into it. 'At least I actually got into it.' Your injured side fell against the couch, and you cried out in pain. Luckily, Aizawa was home, and he heard your yells. "Y/N. What the hell did you do?!" He used his scarf to gently pick you up and bring you into your room. "Oh... I tripped on the sidewalk and... yeah." You chuckled softly. "I doubt that. Just lie down here. I'll bring you dinner in a few hours." Aizawa walked out of your room, giving you a couple hours of peace and quiet.

As promised, Aizawa brought your dinner into your room. He helped you lean up against the headboard of your bed, and he left your dinner on your lap. "Thanks, Shouta. I'm sorry for making you take care of me like this..." He looked at you and ruffled your hair. "Don't worry." You ate the last bits of F/F and gave your plate to Aizawa. "You know, you don't have to watch over me like this-" You tried to assure him that you were fine, but he interrupted you. "It's okay, Y/N." He noticed that there was blood on your uniform, but he didn't want you to move and hurt yourself even more.

The next day, your side was still in serious pain. Aizawa decided to carry you to school with his scarf. "A-Are you okay with this? Won't it be kind of awkward? I could just use my quirk-" The man shook his head, and he proceeded to walk to U.A. High. "Your quirk is just going to affect your injury even more. As both of you got to the school, you avoided eye contact with everyone. You finally noticed that there was a splotch of blood on your left side. 'That damn Bakugou...' To get to the nurse's office, the both of you had to pass Class 1-A. Aizawa briefly entered the classroom and set you down, leaning you against the wall. "I'll be out for a couple minutes. Y/N hurt herself after school yesterday, and I'm taking her to Recovery Girl." Bakugou shot out of his seat and walked up to you. "I'll take Y/N to Recovery Girl." He picked you up bridal style, and walked out of the classroom with you.

"You 'hurt yourself', eh..?" Bakugou stared down at you, and you looked away, avoiding eye contact with him. Your face was flushed. He was carrying you. Bridal style. "S-Shut up..." You were upset. He hurt you without remorse, and now your side was bleeding. "Why would you care about me if you're the one who hurt me IN THE FIRST PLACE?!" As you began yelling, your side felt like it was snapping. You coughed out blood, and you stopped ranting. "J-Just get me to Recovery Girl."

You arrived to Recovery Girl's office, and Bakugou set you down on the bed. "Dearie, there's fresh blood on your uniform! What happened?" You looked away from the elderly lady. "I tripped and fell on my side yesterday. This morning, I strained myself a bit too much..." Recovery Girl kissed your forehead, and your body began to feel tired. "Y/N, you should take a rest. Just lie down-" You interrupted the elderly lady. "I'm fine. I need to get to class." You stood up, and walked past Bakugou. He ran after you, and grabbed your shoulder. Pulling you back, he asked, "What's up with you?" You shoved him back. "What's up with ME? Oh, I sure didn't get thrown to the ground by a complete egoistic asshole! Honestly, I liked you because you looked kind of hot, but-" You stopped yourself from talking, and opened a rift to the area outside of Class 1-A. "Y/N, wait-" Not listening to him, you walked through the rift, and opened the door to class.

The rest of the day, you avoided everyone, so that Bakugou couldn't find you. After school, Aizawa told you to be more careful, and you responded with a 'yes'. You ran out of the classroom, hoping that Bakugou wouldn't find you. But guess who was waiting at the entrance of the school?

Bakugou Katsuki.

You ignored him completely, your face blushing slightly while walking past him. "Y/N. I need to talk to you." Still walking away, you felt a hand grab your arm. "Stop avoiding me." Your face flushed into a deep shade of red. You didn't want to look at him. Bakugou turned your body towards him. "About what you said earlier. Did you... have a crush on me?!" You were blushing furiously. "M-Maybe... W-Why'd you ask?"

"I might... also have a crush on you." Your eyes widened, and you held the hand that was grabbing your arm. "S-Since you admitted it, then... Want to go out on a d-date or something..?" Bakugou blushed in response. "I NEVER SAID THAT I WANTED TO GO ON A DATE WITH YOU..!" He squeezed your hand.

"But since you asked... My house. Tomorrow. After school." Both of you shared your contact info, and you walked to your homes the rest of the way. The rest of the walk was silent. Both of you felt too awkward to start a conversation. As Bakugou arrived at his house, you both said your goodbyes, and you continued to walk to your house.

'Am I actually going to... date him?!'

Tomorrow was going to be an... interesting day.
