Before I Forget || Bakugo X fem! reader X Todoroki || Discontinued

Chapter 35

There's kind of a lack of Katsuki and Shoto here, and I know that. I'll try adding them in in the small moments when (y/n)'s at school or at the dorms, but I also want to do justice to the actual story line of Boku No Hero Academia itself. This arc, the Shie Hassaikai Arc, really just isn't about them. At all.

So, yeah. That's that. I'll focus on Shoto and Katsuki after this arc again! It'll only be a few chapters.

I dashed for the door as soon as the bell sounded, announcing lunch time. I already told Todoroki I wouldn't be eating with him earlier, so that wasn't a problem either.

"(y/n)!", Iida immediately said. "Don't run through the halls!"

I vaguely acknowledged him with a hand gesture and ran out of the classroom. I rushed through the hall, effectively dodging students leaving their classrooms. However, I yelped when I almost bumped into All Might coming out of the break room.

"(l/n)-shoujo?", he questioningly said.

"Sorry, All Might!", I replied as I ran past him. "I have to hurry!"

I saw the retired hero chuckling to himself before continuing on his way. I looked back ahead and kept running until I reached my destination.

"Tamaki-kun!", I cheered as I barged into the butterfly garden.

Tamaki, who was standing near a small flower field to watch the butterflies, turned to me with a disturbed expression.

I sheepishly smiled when I noticed the butterflies quickly flying away.

"Sorry", I mumbled.

"Why are you in such a hurry?", Tamaki asked.

"I wanted to talk to you!", I chimed. "Is your quirk back yet?"

Tamaki nodded.

"It returned this morning", he said.

"Mine too!", I cheered and I let some darkness come out of my hand like a small fountain.

Tamaki frowned at me when the sand fell onto his head, getting stuck in his hair.

"Sorry, sorry!", I quickly said and I closed my hand. "Let me just... Uhm."

I stood on my toes but hesitated to actually touch Tamaki, since I knew he didn't like that. Then I decided to do something else. I focused on the darkness and let it fade. Tamaki blinked and carefully combed his fingers through his hair.

"It should all be gone now", I said with a smile. "Sorry about that."

Tamaki put his hands in his pockets again.

"Tamaki, (y/n)!", another familiar voice greeted us. "How're ya doing?"

"Great, Mirio", I answered.

The blonde smiled and looked at Tamaki, who just shrugged.

"Why are you suddenly in such a good mood?", Mirio then asked me. "You weren't in school yesterday."

"I- How do you even know that?", I asked.

"Your dual-haired friend was eating lunch with the problem child", Mirio answered. "He's usually with you, even though you're always late."

"That's not- Izuku is not a problem child!", I stammered. "And how do you even know all that? Do you always keep such a close eye on me? This is bordering on stalking behavior, you know?"

"Nevermind that!", Mirio cheerfully said. "Why weren't you in school? And why are you so happy now?"

"Well you see, the other day when we-"
