My Hero ||Beauty And The Beast|| (Bakugou X Reader)

Chapter 21: I Love Her

You two exited to the balcony. Bakugou escorted you to sit down before he did.

You sat down first then Bakugou sat right next to you. Silence filled the air.

Bakugou wanted to confess. He wanted to say something but he didn't know how to approach it. After that dance, he realized that his feelings for you were love. Now the hard part was explaining it to her without seeming pathetic. He decides to just start off the conversation with something else and then when the time is right, he'll confess his love.

His mouth began to move. "You know....my birthday is coming up"

"O-oh it is. Well, Happy Early Birthday". You had already known that his birthday was coming up and you had a surprise for him too. That quilt you made will surprise him-

"However, it might be my last". He deeply sighed averting his gaze away from him.

Might be his last? You wondered.

"Why?". You asked.

"I don't know....just a hunch". He weakly shrugged. He couldn't just say 'Well you know an Enchantress cursed me and now I have to find love by my 23rd birthday'. That would seem too desperate and he didn't want to force her.

You saw that he was hiding something. You weren't stupid. Whenever he was in deep thought, he looked like he wanted to say more. You wanted to ask him but you didn't want to press him on the topic. But still....that small part in you wanted to know more- What was troubling him.

Sighing, you looked out into the starry night.

While he was thinking about his own problems, you were thinking about home. This night was magical, definitely one of your best nights but home was also something you couldn't forget about.

"Y/N?". Your attention turned to him. "Are you okay?". He asked in concern.

You sighed, lowering your head and facing into the night sky. "No...I'm not". You said lowly.  Your voice sounded cold and depressed in his ears.

"You're....not happy here...Are you?". You shot your eyes back at him. His voice sounded a little bitter but also hurt. You...You wouldn't say that you're not happy here just..missing the life you had before.

"I..I wouldn't put it in those words". You confessed. "I'm not unhappy here. It's the opposite. I'm happy here. You and the others have treated me nice, and I enjoy the time we spend together but...". You shut your eyes then open them back up. "I just miss my brothers that's all"

Bakugou then suddenly took your hand into his, firmly gripping it. He felt guilty. The Bakugou before wouldn't have cared about your feelings. He would have ignored you and not give a damn. But now, ever since he spent more time with you, he began to realize the error of his ways. That including taking you away from the people you cared about.

His face remained emotionless as he looked at you. He didn't what to say to you. Suddenly, an idea popped into his head. "Follow me". He stood from his spot and walked back into the castle.

You were confused. Curious as to why he said that. Does he have something to show you? Or something might have come up maybe?

You followed behind him.

-x-x-x-x-

"The West Wing?". You mumbled to yourself. Now you knew something was up. Nothing bad but it was weird that he brought you to the forbidden room. The room where you two didn't have the best encounter. Just thinking about his extreme outburst made you shiver a little.
