Smoke Screen (Bakugo x Reader )

Chapter Twenty-One: He Knows

"Alright class," Uncle Ai says with a glorious eye-roll. "I have a few announcements before we get started today. Starting next Monday, class 1A and 1B will swapping teachers for a week. Please don't ask me why, but for some reason the principal thought it would be a good idea. I've learned not to question decisions like these." He glances sidelong at his banana-colored sleeping bag. "Also, not this weekend, but the next the school will be hosting a 'Parent's Weekend'. It's exactly what it sounds like. Your parents are invited to come spend a weekend on campus. I'll have more details as the event gets closer. Now, suit up and meet me at Ground Beta."

       "What do you think your parents are going to think about Y/N?" Kirishima asks while securing his headgear.

       "Hell if I know what goes on in the old hag's head." Buckling my utility belt, I move onto my knee pads. "My dad better not bore her with his lame stories." I wonder how she feels about Parents Weekend considering...

       Shitty-hair closes his locker with a stupid grin. "You haven't told them about her, have you?"

       I slam my locker shut and pick up my gauntlets. "We don't talk every damn day!"

       The conversation ends the moment we exit the boy's locker room and run into Y/N. She's propped up against the wall, looking out the window over her shoulder.

       Fuck. Her hero costume really gets my blood pumping.

       I can't stop myself. Wrapping my arms around her waste and cupping my hands on her ass, I crash into her mouth. I feel her melt into me and it turns me on even more.

My mind flashes back to yesterday and the way my body was settled against hers. If I don't stop now...

Someone behind me clears their throat. I take a step back and grab her hand.

"Damn," Kaminari whistles. "What are you two going to be like in two weeks when the extra courses for the provisional licensing starts?"

"I knew you had to make it up but you never told me how," Y/N says, tripping over the toe of her boot.

Narrowly I'm able to stable her balance without breaking contact. "Icy-Hot and I have to take extra courses after school and on Saturdays for a month since we didn't pass. So, on top of our normal class work and training, our workload will be doubled."

"It's only a month, right?" She smiles. "We'll still have time between classes and Sundays."

       Damn it. I thought I was mad when the results were first posted, but now I'm even more upset. If Michael and Harrison were to try anything while I was away...

       "Ow," Y/N cries out, pulling her hand from mine. "Katsuki, are you okay?"

       Why is she the one asking if I'm okay? I should be asking her that. I let my anger get the best of me and ended up sparking up my hands without thinking. I bring the palm of her hand to my lips. "I'm sorry."

       We reach Ground Beta before I can ask Katsuki what's on his mind. There's still a slight sting in my hand. I can tell he feels really bad about it so I bite my tongue and swallow the pain. I've had several broken bones, bruises and cuts before, but I've never been burned. The lingering sensation left behind from the heat allows even the light breeze to irritate my palm.

       "Today we are working on hostage situations," Uncle Ai says. He ensures he has everyone's full and undivided attention as he explains how the training exercise will work.

       Before he finishes his explanation I feel a cloth cover my nose and mouth, then suddenly... black.

       "Thank you all for listening," Mr. Aizawa scoffs. "Now, if you take a look around you'll notice that a few of your classmates are no longer present."

       My heart stops beating. Y/N was just by my side. Looking around I see that Kaminari, Momo and belly-button boy are gone too.

       Midoriya and Todoroki share the same expression I do. Even though the chances of those Americans pulling such a ballsy attack are slim-to-none, until we find Y/N we won't be treating this as just an exercise.

       "This isn't any normal hostage training," Mr. Aizawa clears his throat. "This is a high-profile kidnapping situation. Please form groups of two to three people. Once your group is assembled, come to me to receive one of these that will tell you where to begin your investigation." He holds up nine black envelopes. "Now, generally with situations like these the police would handle it, however there are times that heroes are called in to help with the investigation. There are villains that like to treat their crimes as if it were a game. Even though the Hero Killer has been stopped, there are many villains that like to target heroes. Combine those two types together and you end up with situations like the one we are training for today. I hope none of you ever have to face an investigation like this in real life."

       The look in his eyes tells me all I need to know. He knows something about what's happening to Y/N. We were stupid to think we could hide it from him.

       Mina, Kirishima and Tokoyami team up, while Todoroki and Deku stick to my side.

       We grab our envelope and before I can follow my partners, Mr. Aizawa grabs my arm.

       "I'm not an idiot," he whispers. "I won't interfere for the time being, but just know that I won't sit idly by either."

       My eyes widen.

       "She's the only family I have left. I trust you, Bakugo."

A/N: Sorry this chapter is a little shorter than usual! Also sorry it took a few days. It took me some time to figure everything out for the direction I want to take this!!(: Also, I think in the next week or so I might be debuting my Todoroki X Reader: The Elite. Don't worry, I won't be letting Smoke Screen end or go hiatus any time soon(: xoxo- Sayori Kaede
