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

Chapter 14: Another Surprise

"And the Prince and Princess lived happily ever after". You closed the book then turned to Eri and Kouta. "So what did you think of the book"

"It was amazing". They both said in a unison. You were reading to them in the library. Bakugou also joined them but seemed to be in another part of the library doing whatever.

"I like the part when the Princess saves the Prince. It was so cute". Eri chirped. She always liked the sweet, adorable moments in books.

Kouta rolled his eyes. "That part was so lame. I like the part when the Prince kills the bad guy". Kouta like the action, and fighting. Both were like complete opposites.

"That was scary though". Eri shivered a little. Violence was just not her favorite thing. It honestly scared her a little.

"But awesome too". Kouta smiled.

Eri shook her head, disagreeing with him. "Nu-Uh. The Princess saving the Prince was the best part"

"No, it wasn't. You like that sappy stuff"

You listened to the two barking at each other on what was the best parts and the worst. It warmed your heart that they enjoyed the storybooks and are able to discuss it. Honestly, they always ask you to read them a story. You were like a big sister to them and they looked up to you. Almost reminds you of home.

"You two really remind me of Akio". You smiled, placing the book right next to you. They looked at you, curiously, wondering who you were talking about. You forgot that you never told them about him despite the three of them being close in age.

"Who's that?". Eri was the first to speak.

"Well he's my little brother"

"I didn't know you had another brother. I thought the tall one was the only one". Eri recalled back to the time where Kazuo first entered the castle. Feels so long ago.

"Yeah. He's my older one. I also have a little brother. In fact, you three are close to the same age". You chuckled. Think in about that, it would be nice if they met. Akio wouldn't be so lonely.

"What does he like?". Eri asked. You placed a finger on your chin and thought about the things he liked. Akio was a small boy so of course,e he liked a lot of things.

"Well reading, toys, exploring, just to name a few. We both used to venture out into the woods. He would sometimes reenact some scenes from the books he read. I usually join him since he practically begs me to play with him. Couldn't say no to him, but not only that, I just really enjoyed the outdoors. More than indoors in fact". The memories were painful to playback. You missed that stuff. You missed role-playing with him, reading to him, even taking him out to the bookstore to check out the large varieties. Akio was like a best friend to you even though he looked to you as like a mother.

Both Eri and Kouta sensed that you were sad. Although they were young, they understood everything that you lost was heartbreaking. But since then, you seemed a little bit more comfortable with the castle.

Eri shooked the sad expression off her face and forced a smile."I hope we can meet him one day. He could be our new playmate". Hopefully, that made you feel better.

You leaned your face in hand, your elbow was on the table. "I hope so too". You sent them a smile back. However,r the smile was sad.

From the distance, Bakugou noticed this. One of his beastly characteristics was a heightened sense of sight. As you two were talking, he looked down at one of the books in his hand. He gripped it tightly.

He hates to admit but he kind of gets irritated when you're sad. You're usually happy and cheerful, expressing your love books, and helpful. Just seeing you all depressed and sad made him feel some type of way and not a good feeling either.
