Sparks (Katsuki Bakugou X Reader)

Chapter 25: Tournament Matchups

'Welp, there goes my dignity...' You sighed. You were pretty sure you died a little on the inside too.

"Bakugou, we're here now, and everyone can see your hand on my ass, can you let me down now?" You asked completely done with trying.
"Not yet," He replied.
"Pleas-"
"Hey Bakugou!" You heard a feminine voice shout.

'Oh no. Is that Ashido? I swear to god if she sees me like this I'll never hear the end of it.'

You started squirming around. "Oh god, Katsuki please put me down for the love of- eep!"

He squeezed your butt.

"Be careful now, wouldn't want me to drop you," He teased in a low voice, very content with himself.
"Hey Bakugou... is that... (L/n) you have there?" Ashido wondered. You could hear the amusement grow in her voice.
"Yeah, she wasn't behaving so I had to put her in her place," He replied.
"Oohh~~ is that so, (L/n)?" Ashido teased.
"Sh-shut up," You mumbled, too embarrassed to actually retaliate.
"Oh hey, would you look at that, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero are coming over," Ashido stated for you to hear.

You just groaned, knowing you were completely helpless here.

"Hey guys- woah, Bakugou maybe you wanna move your hand somewhere else?" Kirishima nervously suggested.

Bakugou scoffed but obliged. He moved his hand from your rear and instead put it on your lower back.

"Uh, someone wanna explain this?" Sero asked.
"Yeah, why's Bakugou carrying (L/n) like that?" Kaminari wondered. "Are you hurt?"
"No," You answered, "But my dignity is."

"Now that lunch is over, it's finally time to reveal the last game!" You heard Present Mic announce.
"Bakugou, can you please let me down now?" You asked.
"Fine," He grumbled.

He set you down next to him. You straightened your clothes and tried to regain your composure as much as you could from that humiliating experience. You looked around but didn't see Ashido in your little group.

"Huh? I thought Ashido was here?" You questioned.
"Yeah, well she had to leave for something," Kaminari answered with a sly smile.

"But first, there's good news for all of you who didn't make it to the finals! This is a sports festival so we've prepared recreational games that everyone can participate in, too! We've even brought real cheerleaders from America to liven things up! Huh?"

You looked over at the American cheerleaders that weren't doing anything until you realized, they were your female classmates. They were all wearing the cheerleading outfits, but it looked like they were forced into it or something.

"What are they doing?" You wondered aloud.

"What's the matter, Class A? What kind of fan service is that?" Present Mic exclaimed.

You looked over at Kaminari who looked proud as he held a thumbs-up at Mineta. You understood what had happened, and it made your blood boil. You wanted so badly to punch Kaminari and Mineta for tricking your classmates, but for the sake of your good-girl image, you didn't. You were just glad that you weren't humiliated like them. Wait, never mind, you already had been humiliated thanks to Katsuki grabbing your ass.

"All right, everyone! Let's have fun competing in the recreational games!" Present Mic announced, "When that's over, the sixteen from the four teams that made it to the final round will duke it out tournament style, one-on-one!"

"The last round is a tournament where we fight one-on-one, huh?" Kirishima said. "I'm gonna stand on the stage that I watch every year on TV!"
"Was it a tournament last year?" Ashido asked.
"It's different every year, but there's always a one-on-one competition every year," You explained.
"Yeah, last year, it was a sports chanbara match," Sero added.
