Poison || Katsuki Bakugou

20.

I had paced my living room for what felt like the hundredth time as I debated my own thoughts. It had been a few days since I had said the thing so said to Shoto, yet I couldn't let the words leave my mind. How could I be so cold to someone who has always been so kind.

Then again, the way he looked at me in disgust and quickly jumped to the conclusion of me having a one night stand with Bakugou was more than I could take. How could he act like he knew me when he really didn't know me at all. I wasn't the same shy wide-eyed girl from the small village. After he left, I had to learn to fend for myself and stand up for myself. Sometimes that resulted in my saying things I regretted. My defense mechanism became hurting people so badly they would eventually leave me alone, but I never thought I would do that to someone I considered my best friend.

Hearing a knock at my door I rushed over. A small pint in my stomach hoped it was Shoto, but was pleasantly surprised to see Katsuki.

"Hey Pouty, still moping around?" Bakugou was wearing a grey hoodie with the hood covering his blonde locks as dark jeans hugged against his legs. I loved seeing him in hoodies because it was always so warm when he hugged me.

"Hush" I say waving him off before he grabbed the back of my head gently pulling me into his chest. Even though that day with Shoto was upsetting, Bakugou and I had decided to give his whole thing a try and I hadn't regretted that decision yet.

Katsuki and I were probably an unlikely pair, but so far we worked. After the incident with Shoto, Bakugou had stayed the night and held me close as the tears poured from my eyes. He never said much, but the simple fact that he was there changed my whole perception of being with him.

Taking in a deep breath I let the familiar smell of him fill my lungs as his fingers brushed back my hair behind my shoulders.

"Guess we gotta get this whole thing figured out before it turns into a bigger shit pile than it already is"

I chuckled at his use of phrases unsurprised by his terms that have become normal in my mind at this point.

"I just, I don't even know where to begin ... I mean you heard what Shoto said about me, about us... didn't that piss you off too Katsuki?"

My head turned up to look at him as he shrugged his shoulders. His lips pressed tightly together as he processed my words. Shoto was mad, but he was more mad at the fact that I was with Bakugou of all people. That had to have upset him, yet he wasn't making any mention of it.

"You both said some fucked up shit Misaki, it's best to just clear he air before it becomes worse..."

I squint my eyes at him trying to read any subliminal message in his nice tone. It was unlike him to be so nonchalant about things. Especially when someone insulted him. It made me suspicious but I didn't want to press further. Katsuki's eyes gleamed down at me as he gave a half smile.

"I have thicker skin than you think Misaki, I'm not some wimpy little fucking baby you know.."

"Yeah I know Katsuki" I sigh pulling away from his embrace and walking towards the living room. I could hear Bakugou behind me as I plop down on the couch.

"But why am I the one who has to apologize first?"

"Cause you said the most fucked up shit Misaki... Do you even know about his family issues?"

Turning my head at Bakugou as he sat on the couch across from me. He looked stern like some parent punishing their child. I knew about his family issues, why else would I have fucking said that.

"Well yeah... I've known him forever Katsuki.."

"Fucking A Pouty I'm not just taking about the shit with his mom. Everyone in our class knew about that in high school..."
