The Faker (Katsuki Bakugou x Reader)

Chapter 9

I drug my feet as I walked behind Kirishima and Bakugou. Dread and fatigue weighed me down. A crippling anxiety bubbled and brewed in my soul as we got closer to this Momo girl's house. 'Why did I agree to this...' I knew I was just going to be standing there awkwardly until it was acceptable for me to leave. Sigh.

-

My predictions were almost spot on. I stood to the side as I waited out the time. "Ne, (L/n)! I'm so glad you came! I don't know if I introduced myself, but I am Uraraka Ochako." The brunette from before came up to me with a heart melting smile. "I'm (L/n) (F/n), but you already know that, guess..." I faked a laugh. She seemed to buy it. "So are you having fun then?" She leaned in a tad. "Of course." I smiled. 'Not.' I couldn't bring myself to be an asshole, even if I was miserable. "Do you want a drink? Momo made punch." She motioned to a black haired girl who was talking with Todoroki. "A-Ah, sure I guess. I will go get it for us." She thanked me as I walked over to the table with concessions.

I checked the time on my phone, it had been close to an hour. 'How much longer until someone else leaves...' I groaned internally, not wanting to be the first to leave. It wasn't long before Uraraka came back, two drinks in hand. I said a small thanks and took my drink.

Casual small talk filled the air between us, it was just a normal conversation between, essentially, strangers. After a while, we noticed everyone sitting in a circle. 'This can't be good.' I thought to myself. An arm around my shoulders caught me off guard. "We are going to play a game, come and join us." Kirishima said to me an the brunette

"No." I said quickly. There was no way me participating could end well. Uraraka laughed an grabbed my hands. "Come on, it will be fun!" Kirishima laughed and gave me a shove. "You heard her, it will be fun."

In the end, I was forced into participating.

-

A pink girl made her way to the middle of the circle and put down a bottle and clapped her hands together. "Alright everyone! We are going to play spin the bottle!" She said excitingly. It was at that moment I felt my soul leave my body. I weighed my options and both weren't ideal. 'Why do I always get myself into these situations...' I sighed.

The dread weighed down on my with every spin and pass of the bottle. I was lucky in the sense that nobody landed on me, but the inevitable was my approaching turn. Sure I could just come up with some excuse to leave, but my mind was blank.

"(F/n), it's your turn." Kirishima nudged me, bringing me back to reality. Against my better judgement I played my fate and gave the empty bottle a spin. I slightly closed my eyes as it twirled, hoping it would change the outcome.

It was like weight off my shoulders when I saw it pointing right back at me. I picked it up and passed it to Kirishima, who was the next one to go. "Wait! (F/n) has to spin again since he landed on himself." The pink girl who started the game declared. "It's fine, Kirishima can go..." I trailed off as I was handed the bottle.

However, the outcome was the same. "Here let me spin for you." Kirishima said and gave me a thumbs up. I might as well just bite the bullet. It couldn't possibly be that bad, right?

Wrong

Of course it landed on one of the only people I didn't want it to. Bakugou. He glared at me from across the circle. "No fucking way am I kissing that shit stain." He said and crossed his arms. Maybe this would work in my favor after all. "He landed on you so you have to kiss him." The pink girl clapped.

We were both shoved to the middle of the circle. I hoped he would keep refusing and they would just let us move on. "I bet he won't do it because he is scared to kiss another guy." Kaminari said, knowing it would push Bakugou's buttons and he would get a reaction. "I'm not a coward!" He said angrily grabbed me by the collar of my shirt and pulled me forward off my knees.

Our lips collided for the second time.

My eyes shut as if on instinct and I could feel my face heat up. The sparks in my stomach ignited, just from the simple act of our lips touching. I could hear the digital snap pictures being taken, but I didn't mind.

After a few seconds he shoved me away. It caught be off guard and I fell back, trying to catch myself by putting my hand down. A sharp pain in my wrist was a strong indicator that I shouldn't have done that.

I looked to Bakugou who had stood up. "I'm leaving." He was clearly embarrassed. I could tell Kirishima wanted to go after him but he stayed put. I just quietly scooted back to my spot and the game continued.

after a few more rounds went on, the pain became more noticeable and I decided it was a good scape goat. I leaned over to Kirishima, "Hey, I am going to head out." He looked at me as I started to get up. "Why not stay a little longer?" I shook my head and before I could say anything he noticed my wrist. "You're hurt, why didn't you say something?"

At this point the game had stopped and everyone was looking at us. "I'm fine, it's just when Bakugou pushed me down I fell on it." I explained. 'So much for a stealthy escape...' I sighed to myself. "Come with me, (L/n). I will help you tend to it. It's only fair to you since you were hurt in my home." Momo said as she motioned for me to follow her.

I sat down on a stool in her kitchen as she got out a first aid kit. "I am fine, really. You don't have to d-" She cut me off. "Nonsense. As the host it is my job to make sure all of my guests are tended to." The black haired girl took out the bandages and started to wrap my wrist.

"Thank you." I said with a slight bow. She just waved me off and smiled. "Don't worry about it. It was nice to meet you, (L/n)." Momo said. I was finally free to go.

"How do I get home from here?..." I looked around at the unfamiliar surroundings. It was going to be a long night...
