Chapter 46

I relaxed without realizing it, leaning into Bakugo as he kissed me. Then he pulled back, leaning his forehead against mine.

I slowly opened my eyes. Bakugo didn't move and his eyes were still closed.

"Katsuki...?", I whispered.

He didn't respond right away, but he deeply exhaled before opening his eyes.

"You're driving me crazy, (y/n)", he whispered. "Every time you're around it feels like my heart's going to explode."

Wait, WHAT?!

I was dumbfounded at the confession. I didn't know what to say, but I could feel my face heating up.

Bakugo closed his eyes again and stroked my cheek with his thumb. I reached up and covered his hand with mine.

"I'm sorry", Bakugo said before stepping back. "This is fucking stupid, I'll just-"

He turned around to leave, but I grabbed onto his hand.

"Wait!", I quickly said.

Bakugo stopped moving, but he didn't turn to face me. I tightened my grip on his hand.

"I...", I stammered. "I think I like you, Katsuki."

His breath audibly hitched, but he still didn't turn around.

"I just...", I continued. "I... I think I need some time. I just need to figure out exactly what I feel right now."

"Right", Bakugo said, barely audible.

He still refused to face me, so I gently tugged on his hand. He finally turned around and looked at me. I walked up to him and stared up into his red eyes.

I gently brushed his hair to the side, and traced his jawline with my fingertips. Then I cupped his face with my hands, his eyes never leaving mine. I slowly pulled him down until our lips met. My eyes fluttered shut at the sensation.

His lips are so soft.

Bakugo was surprisingly gentle. His hands gripped my waist carefully, as if he was afraid I'd break.

The kiss felt like it lasted an eternity, and yet it was over way too soon.

I pulled back to breathe and let one of my hands slowly trace down Bakugo's chest. I could feel the blonde's eyes on me, but I'd dropped my gaze to the floor.

"Goodnight, (y/n)", Bakugo softly said.

I felt him press his lips to the top of my head in a sweet peck. I gasped in surprise at the gentle gesture. When I finally looked up, I could see Bakugo walking into the elevator. He turned around and looked into my eyes as the doors closed.

My heart was racing, and even long after the elevator had moved to the fourth floor, I was standing in the hall.

What the fuck just happened?

I shook my head and spun on my heels. I strode into my room and changed into my pj's. I let myself fall onto my bed and stared at the ceiling.

The moments replayed in my head over and over. When I thought about it, I realized Bakugo had seemed extra irritated with me the past few days. Especially during classes like PE and hero training where we had to move around a lot.

I was driving him crazy...?

Does he... Like me? I mean like like me?

I shook my head and buried my face in my hands. I could feel my face burning bright red as I remembered how Bakugo stepped out of the elevator, not giving me any time to react before kissing me. I blinked a couple of times and touched my lips.
