Don't be Stupid. BakugoxReader

Against Eachother.

I take my seat in class and pull out my pencil and paper. I look to my left and Kacchan sits up in his seat and takes his pen and papers out too. We haven't been able to talk much recently. We've been training non stop the past few days. "You all will have to go against each other." Eraserhead states and people gasp "It'll help you out with taking on the expected. It sounds easy enough but you've all been working hard on new moves and strengthening your minds and bodies. It won't be easy for some of you, just know whatever happens, know there's always room for improvement." He says in a low tone, almost sounding tired. He continues to tell us that just because we know someone's quirk doesn't always mean we will win and that it's natural to lose.

I look over to Kacchan but he's already looking at me. His cheeks turn a light pink as he turns back to the front of the room. He's been kinda weird after we slept in his bed together about a week ago. He hasn't been picking fights with me as much and has been dare I say.. Nice? I'm not complaining but it makes it hard to have normal conversations. He's been talking to Kirishima a lot recently, I'm glad he's becoming more social and not as much of a jerk to people. Well, some people. He's still mean to the "idiots" in our class but that's to be expected of him.

"Y/N? Y/N." I look up and notice Eraserhead has been calling my name, I look over and Kacchan is smirking at me. I look back to the front of the room and everyone is staring at me. "Sorry, sorry." I say and he looks down at a paper "Y/N.. you'll be going against.. Bakuguo." People gasp and my eyes widen. I look to my left, Kacchan's eyebrows are pressed together and eyes are squinted. "No." He stares Eraserhead in the eyes "I'm not fighting her." He says leaning back in his chair and crosses his arms.

We all know what would happen. We all know if I were to go against him he'd win. He's too powerful.

"And that's why you will. You two are close, have been for awhile. Sometimes it's the people you are closest too that you may have to go against. It's how life works. No buts."

He's right but that doesn't make me want to fight Kacchan. It doesn't mean I'll win. It doesn't mean I won't come out of it bruised and hurt.

I look down and start twirling my pencil in my fingers as he starts listing off who will be going against who, choosing people who are friends and people who have been flirting recently. It's cold but it's not something we've done yet. Something we didn't expect. I know everyone's quirk and how they fight but I've never experienced their quirks used against me, and that's how everyone is feeling.

"Tomorrow at 7am we will start."

*half an hour later*

The bell rings and people start to get up around me but I can't stand. I'm so worried about taking Kacchan on.. What will I do. My thoughts get cut off when I feel a hand rest on my shoulder. I look up and make eye contact with Kacchan. "It'll be ok. Get up and I'll walk you to lunch." "Right.." I start packing my stuff up and I stand, pushing my chair in and follow him out the room. "Don't worry to much about it. You'll get wrinkles." "It's hard not to stress about it. We both know you're powerful, there's no way I'll win, or even come close."

He stops and grabs my arm, making me stop with him. "I'll take it easy on you. I don't want to hurt you." "Kacchan you know that's not the point of the training." "I could care less about the stupid training." "I know, but if I can't fight you or even try who am I to become a hero." He sighs and grabs my shoulders, looking into my eyes. "I won't hurt you. If I'm getting too rough tell me." "I will."

*school ending and people are going back to their rooms*

I haven't talked to anyone all day. I've known Kacchan almost my whole life but I never expected to fight him. I've seen him go against a few people now and he's strong. Stronger than he was just a few months ago. Stronger than me. I'm worried. It's hard not to be. I get into the elevator and click the number. Other people were in the living room talking about tomorrow but I need to focus. I don't have time to sit around..

I get to my room and take my outfit off, tossing it to the side. I grab my shorts and a hoodie and sit in my bed. Kacchan.. he's going to destroy me.
