Text Back (Katsuki Bakugou x Reader)

Side Story #2: Ease

You sat slumped at your desk resting your jaw on your propped hand. "For the millionth time, I'm not gonna be your fuckin' valentine."

"Come on! What have you got to lose?" Mineta pressed on.

"My dignity, now get the fuck out of here, you rat!" You exclaimed just as a familiar group of students entered the classroom. Upon seeing the spiky set of blonde hair the grape's eyes went wide with terror. He wasted no time in scurrying away as they approached.

Kirishima raised an eyebrow. "What was that about?"

"The little fucker wouldn't leave me alone."

"Is it the about the Valentine's Day thing?" Mina questioned.

"Yes."

"No way, he asked you to be his valentine?" Kaminari laughed aloud.

"Yes."

"Well we know he's gonna be alone on Valentine's Day. Is anyone else doing anything?" Sero said, taking a seat on the top of your desk.

You and Bakugou both made a face that caught all four's attention. They glanced at each other in confusion before looking back. "What? What is it?" Mina inquired.

"Valentine's Day sucks ass," You sighed, disgusted. "I don't need a day specifically designed to remind me I'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life."

"And it's fucking annoying seeing all those damn couple's faces. Who the fuck is ever that happy?" Bakugou scoffed in agreement.

"And then schools make it worse by making us give out pity cards to one another," You went on.

"And you can't go out 'cause it's packed everywhere!"

"And then people feel sorry for you if you don't have a date for Valentine's Day! Like no, I don't need a fucking date to enjoy myself today!"

"Exactly! That's some bullshit!!"

"I KNOW!"

While you and Bakugou were brewing in your own mutual hatred, Kirishima, Sero, Mina, and Kaminari all stared at one another. "Wow, you guys really have something against this holiday," Sero spoke with a nervous chuckle.

"It's nuisance," You said bitterly.

Bakugou sat down at desk and kicked his feet up. "Damn right."

"Maybe you guys should start your own singles holiday," Kirishima joked.

Mina gasped. "Or like an Anti-Valentine's Day!"

"Hmm, that's actually not a bad idea..." You pondered. "But that's what I do every year. I sit at home, watch a movie, pig out."

"It doesn't seem like Bakugou's doing anything though," Kaminari pointed out. "Why don't you two celebrate Anti-Valentine's Day together?"

You and Bakugou locked eyes for a moment. The blonde shrugged, turning away to mask his crumbling indifference. "It's not like I have anything better to do."

"I guess I don't either," You nodded self consciously. "Do you wanna hang out?"

"Sure, my mom's going on a stupid date with my dad that evening so you can come over then."

"Alright, I'll be there."

"Cool."

"Cool."

As soon as Aizawa stepped into the classroom, the students quickly found their seats and commenced class. However, the trio eyed one another one last time to convey the same message going through all their heads:
