Legends {Katsuki Bakugou x Reader}

Chapter eleven

I jolt awake in fear and panic. I take a deep breath and relax. I realize I'm still attached to Bakugou so I let go of him and lay on my back.

That's the second nightmare I've had about Kei..

I've had trouble sleeping tonight because I keep getting nightmares. I look at the ceiling and let my thoughts consume me.

'What could I have done?'

'Was it my fault?'

'Why did they go after Kei?! Why couldn't they have killed me!!'

I sit up and lean my back against the pillows and wall. I rest my arms on my knees and sigh. I feel my eyes starting to sting. I shake my head and put my hands on my face.

"I can't cry anymore" I whisper to myself.

I close my eyes and let my warm palms rest on my cheeks. I take deep shaky breaths to stop myself from crying.

"(L/N)?" I heard Bakugou mutter.

"O-Oh I'm sorry love. I didn't mean to wake you" I whisper.

He turns around and looks up at me.

"What's up?" He mutters casually.

I giggle slightly.

"Not much how about you?" I murmur.

"No seriously, why are you up at," He turns around and looks at his clock, " 3 am."

"I just.. it's nothing we should go back to bed" I say not wanting to trouble him.

He sits up and looks into my eyes. I can barely make out his face in the dark but I can see his dark red eyes glaring into mine.

"Spit it out" he mutters.

I sigh and lean back again. He sits up next to me and stares at my face slightly.

"I've just had nightmares tonight about Kei and I just can't stop thinking about how it's my fault" I mutter.

I feel his hand grab my chin and he gently guides me to look at him.

"Everything that has happened is in no way, your fault. You did everything you could possibly do to save everyone in reach. You did your job but it can never be successful. If it is anyone's fault it is those damn villains, they kill and hurt people. It doesn't matter what happens to the people that know or care about them" Bakugou mutters while looking into my eyes.

He grabs the sides of my face and sits in front of me.

"You are an amazing hero and you are going to be an even better pro hero. You are following your old mans footsteps, you will be a well known and great hero. But the thing about being a hero is, you can't save everyone. People will die, yes. But that's part of life that we just have to accept, shit we will die eventually too but we just have to make the best of what we have" Bakugou says.

When he finishes I realize that tears were gently running down my cheeks and onto his hands. His thumb gently runs over my cheeks and wipes off most of my tears. He sits up and kisses the top of my head.

"Don't ever blame yourself for something you couldn't control" he says leaning back down.

"Okay" I murmur.

"Let's catch some sleep or else that old bastard is going to be on our asses for not sleeping" he says getting under the covers.

I lay down next to him and look into his eyes as they look into mine.

"I love you" I say unconsciously.

His eyes widen and his mouth parts open. He quickly scoots closer and puts my face into his chest. He holds my close and kisses the top of my head.
