Remedy: Katsuki Bakugou x Reader (Sequel)

Chapter 6: Ark's Final Stretch

Bakugou howled with excitement, "fuck yes I can move my arm again!" The boy had his hand held within the air, a bloodied bandage wrapped around his wrist, balling his hand into a fist then relaxing as he felt the muscles within his arm contract and loosen with his desired actions. Bakugou couldn't express how relieved he was to have gotten rid of his elastic sling. For the better part of a week he's been running around with one useless arm, even though he has you to thank for making it useless in the first place.

You found his excitement to be... Adorable. Of all things this explosive boy could be, he had to be adorable. Who knew one boy could get so overly excited over something so little? It beats the usual all so easily aggravated Bakugou you've came to know, especially when Bakugou's finally treating you as his equal. Bakugou no longer called you Ark either. Being his equal felt like more than a title, it was a sense of accomplishment. Meaning you've came so far from where you originated just one week ago having not even a clue as to who Bakugou was, now it felt as if you were falling for him all over again.

Ark is nearly dead. (Y/n) isn't all that far away anymore. If anything, you could reach out and touch her at this very moment if you so desired. All it needed was something, anything, to jumpstart your brain. Like a gentle push...

You grinned, amused with Bakugou and his momentary antics. "You may have your arm back, but I'm still sick. If anything I've learned to appreciate the little things."

"Something tells me you're milking it," Kurogiri spoke, handing you a chilled washcloth he pulled from an ice bucket within the bar sink.

You pout. "Why would I milk this?", you pressed the chilled washcloth to your searing forehead. The cold prickly fabric gave birth to an array of goosebumps along your forearms; the water ran down your face like a trickle of spring rain. "If I could leave the bar I would! I'm starting to get cabin fever..." You may be acting fine for the most part, but your fever, if agitated, would make you pass out. Assuming you're fine led to Shigaraki asking you to go on another hostage mission after his last one with a handful of UA students fell through. You fought hard, only to pass out half way into a brawl with a male student from Shiketsu High with a raging wind quirk. Although the wind felt nice, refreshing, running around and throwing punches didn't help your already sickly frail position.

Bakugou claims that your constant need to pass out is a result of an accident back when you went to UA. Apparently there was a ceiling collapse during a class exercise, you got a head injury, and since then you've been more prone to headaches and more sound sensitive too. Makes perfect sense actually, normally flashbacks would come in and help you out with remembering everything, just mentioning a certain subject would trigger them, except you haven't had a single one since Bakugou had devoted himself to getting your memories back. There has to be a reasonable explanation for such, right? Unless it was (Y/n) taking off the training wheels assuming you can ride everything alone from then on. If so... You appreciate the inner decision.

Unfortunately, Kurogiri had dropped the conversation as a whole. He really was persuaded that his fellow villain-child was milking the hospitality that came with being ill. Afterall, he's noticed Bakugou and yourself had gotten inseparably close out of the blue. Not that that's a bad thing, Kurogiri has been patiently awaiting for your memories to return so that he can 'let' you both escape. However, he can't let you go all so soon; Kurogiri can tell you aren't exactly 'ready' yet. It's just a hunch though...

Kurogiri stepped out of the room, desiring a moment of secluded silence. "With Mommy-Giri gone," you hummed upon hearing a distant door open and close. Your eyes wandered the bar to make sure nobody else from the League was here besides Bakugou himself. Toga is known to hide around, Dabi is rarely here unless necessary or if he feels the need to edge you on, Twice is almost always with one of those two with no apparent reasoning behind it, Compress is almost always with Shigaraki who also isn't here due to matters with the Big Man as you like to call him. Shigaraki encouraged you to come along saying that 'father' can fix what he broke in the first place. He's alarmed with how your mental state is doing, despite how unempathetic Shigaraki comes off to be. In reality though, he's just tired with how many episodes you tend to have on a daily basis and wants them to stop. Plus, even if Kurogiri was here, he wouldn't rat you two out. "Tell me more about my memories Bakugou!" You encouraged the boy.
