My Hero Academia x Readers

One or the Other: Kirishima x Reader x Bakugo

This is a chapter from a book I had unpublished, of course, I edited it to fit the x reader format better. But now I have reuploaded the book this is based on. If you plan to read my book Ignition: Bakugou x Reader, then you may want to hold out from reading this.

"V-Day is tomorrow... You going to ask him out?" Uraraka nudged you on the shoulder.

"M-Maybe," your face flustered into a fit of red with eyes squeezed shut with great force it began to hurt.

"Nothing to be ashamed over, we all know you and Bakugo have a thing for each other," Momo tagged in overhearing the conversation with a pat on your shoulder.

"Is it that obvious?" You whined with your head hung low.

"You're the only person Bakugo will go out of his way to protect and support," Momo hummed recalling events from the past. The days you broke out into a fit of tears, unable to share a room with your father of whom barely gave you the attention you needed. Too busy with hero work to be at home for his daughter, it slowly ate away at you until you succumbed into despair.

"Yeah," Uraraka grinned. "Hate to bring it up again, but he really helped you through that adoption process," everybody knew about your adoption. Everybody in school that is.

"It must be pretty hard changing homes all so suddenly," Momo pats you on the back lovingly like the good friend she was.

"It was..." You sighed. "But I'm happier with Mr. Aizawa now, especially when All Might didn't have the time for me."

"That's good to hear," Uraraka smiled. "You've been noticeably happier since-"

"But do you think Bakugo actually likes me?" You questioned cutting Uraraka off very suddenly. "Maybe he's so nice to me because he's a good friend and nothing more."

"That's a possibility, but I highly doubt it," Momo claims.

"Bitch," Bakugo called you out over the semi quiet conversation you kept with your friends. You peered over their shoulders to face the fiery blonde head on. "Time to head home, we leave now, or else I'm ditching you," you bit your lip with a small whine, snatch your bag from your seat and join in at Bakugo's side in a worried rush. The girls shook their heads wondering how you could deal with him. Kirishima soon caught up with you both for the long walk back home with his closest friends. There wasn't much conversation, but the boys happily watched you with your arms outstretched while you walked on a thin strip of sidewalk to keep balance. You were so pure, so happy, so childlike, they couldn't help but smile.

"What's your plans for tomorrow?" Kirishima questioned Bakugo to break the silence.

"Like you need to know," Bakugo grumbled.

"You asking out (Y/n)?" Kirishima dug deeper knowing his best friend will be as difficult as always.

"I don't need to," Bakugo grumbled again. "She's going to do all the work, so I have no need to go out and buy a valentine," Bakugo's explanation really made Kirishima think twice. Does Bakugo think lowly of girls? The type of guy who thinks of women as maids or means to populate? Oh he hopes not.

"Bakugo... You really shouldn't assume that she'll ask you out-"

"You have some nerve telling me that," Bakugo gave Kirishima the death glare.

"I mean it," Kirishima frowned. "(Y/n) is a really shy girl, maybe she's expecting you to ask her out instead... Or, you could be nice and get her a valentine anyways. I'd hate for her to get hurt, we all know how fragile she is," Bakugo knew Kirishima made some valid points, but he never took them to heart. Nothing was going to motivate him to butter you up for a change. So the boys walked you home in silence, then continued to their homes.
