The Back of My Hero (Bakugou Katsuki x OC)

Trouble in Paradise

I stretched my shoulder joint up in the air then I did light dropping and raising exercise to release the build up lactic acid on the back of my shoulder through my neck. Feeling in higher spirit, I caught up with Bakugou who walked slightly in front of me. I was pleased to see a reddish bit on both corner of his eyes, it reminded me of his amusing tough expression when he held his tears so badly during the sad scene.

"Did you enjoy the movie?" I asked gleefully. The boy glanced to me in his usual frowning face,

"It's not thrash." My eyes widen from his honesty. Though, I knew he was enjoying it very much considering his ups and downs emotion and his loud laugh I heard throughout the entire movie. "The ending is bullshit but the villain's quirk is super crazy."

The day got better than I had expected. It was as if Bakugou was another person completely, as if I wasn't this girl who poured him hot spicy broth to his head. It mademe beyond merry when he continued the conversation. "Sonaht you mean? I think it's incredibly awesome," I added. "Owning multiple OP quirks like that is beyond logic, don't you think?" I waited for his comeback, but instead Bakugou frowned down. His mind somewhere else. "What's wrong?"

"Multiple Quirks...," he mumbled. Though he was soon given it up since from the looks on his face he never get what it was.

"Haah~ having multiple quirks, huh?" I looked down to my hands: my powerless, 'useless' hand according to my middle school classmates. "If I had just one quirk like All Might, I guess I'll become a Hero too," I turned to him. My eyes stared straight to his, "Together with Bakugou-san."

His reaction was unexpected. Bakugou's beady red pupil constricted, eyes widen. It wasn't directed at me but to someone or something in his mind. His teeth gritted. His expression showed an incredible disapproval, a pain that disgust him to the core. The muscles of his hand tightened, trembling as his palm clenched. Small crackling sound could be heard from inside of his palm, along with slight sparks and burning smell.

"Bakugou...san..."

KRUUUUK!!

Sudden comical embarrassing  sound of my stomach broke the tension instantly. I pressed my stomach, awkwardly glanced at Bakugou's bamboozled look. My face temperature raised together with my willingness to jump into Grand Canyon.

I forgot that I skipped breakfast that morning out of nervousness. Somehow this interview coinciding with the time that I did not have even a slice of bread. Also I was too busy mixing and matching my clothes for the last time, rehearsing my plan and my questions several times before realizing it was time to go (and yet still came 45 minutes early).

Bakugou suddenly laughing hard. The same free laugh as the one at the theater when the movie jokes appear. I was bewildered at first, yet a smile slowly bloomed on my face. His laugh somehow equals to an injection of morphine to me. It's highly addictive, making me happy, somewhat relaxing and heals every pain existed.  I'm glad I skipped breakfast~~ At least Bakugou didn't have that scary expression again. I was really glad.

"That's cruel, Bakugou-san," I pouted, but very happy inside.

"I want to eat at Hero Planet and you are paying," Bakugo snickered at me as he continued strolling the grey path of Shibuya with his hands in his pocket.

"Ha!!" My jaw dropped. Hero Planet is a trending planetarium theme cafe. It's spectacular projection of popular hero in constellation together with dim atmosphere and cool temperature really capture the essence of space, but with heroes. The food there was ethereal with 'higher-than-high-schooler's-budget' price and the drinks matches the star, colorful and beautiful.
