Chapter 17: Kacchan's Conflicted Feelings

[U.A Sports Festival]

Miyuki's voice disturbed Bakugo from his thoughts, her excitement for the Sports Festival was quite contagious since he caught himself smiling at her joyful mood. He of course had a reputation to keep, no one needed to see his soft side.

His voice rose as he exclaimed that he was going to win the whole thing anyway, telling everyone they shouldn't be getting their hopes up high for nothing. Bakugo looked away but furiously turned back to his friend when she started mocking him.

Fuck her.

The first game of the Festival was an obstacle course race. Bakugo had no doubts that he was going to win this. His crimson eyes scanned the area in search of the familiar pink hair. Once he saw her, he watched as she pushed her way to the front of the crowd.

He had no time to think about what her strategy was going to be as the sound of the buzzer was heard and everyone ran at once. Bakugo could feel the temperature drop, instantly blowing himself high into the sky and into third place. He had to think about what her strategy was going to be.

By the third obstacle, Bakugo was just a few inches from being in first. All he had to do was pass that half and half bastard. He flew his way passed the mines, sending a blast towards the other. The fight would've kept going, Bakugo only stopped when he heard the familiar voice of his friend reminding him of his main goal of winning... which didn't exactly happen. Instead Deku had taken first place and there she was congratulating him.

The ash-blond couldn't help the abhorrent taste in his mouth as he watched at how close Deku had gotten, this wasn't jealousy; it was more like hatred but Bakugo wouldn't admit something like that.

As soon as Bakugo heard that the next game was going to be a team battle; he looked around for the familiar pink haired girl amongst the crowd. Immediately, he had found Miyuki and made his way over to her. He had been stopped by multiple people to be on his team; but he didn't care about them, he just wanted her.

The boy got what he wanted; Miyuki was on his team and he'd do anything to not only win himself but to bring her to winning as well.

The weight of someone on his back was something new. It had taken him aback by surprise and he was a few seconds away from blasting whoever it was up. But then Miyuki's voice called out his name like honey. He didn't bother with her weight as it was like feathers to him. His face burning, a hand came up and gripped one of her arms so that she didn't fall. But as it came, she hopped off of him. Dammit.

Lunch came around and Bakugo had wanted to eat alone; however, his crimson orbs had made their way back to the familiar pink wavy hair. Miyuki wasn't eating but instead heading outside. He followed her outside, but not before stealing one of Kirishima's sandwiches. Bakugo made his way over to the cherry blossom tree she was sitting under, deciding not to say anything as he didn't want to disturb the girl. The silence between them was something he always enjoyed.

"Do you... I mean, I know you will but... do you think I can win?" Her voice was soft, almost if she was scared of his answer. Of fucking course he thought she could win. If she managed to hold her own when they were sparing then he damn knew for sure that she could! There wasn't a doubt in his mind about that.

He gritted his teeth for giving his response in a sentimental way; but it was true and Bakugo nothing but the truth most of the time. His body froze at first, feeling Miyuki's arms wrapped around his waist, but soon softened into it. She smelled like jasmines and that's when Bakugo realized he loved the smell of jasmines.

[Miyuki's Birthday Party]

Bakugo was eyeing the purple envelope, ripping it and seeing the neatly decorated invitation. He also saw who she invited and scoffed. He wasn't expecting to be invited and even had second guessed the idea of even going. But he knew that if he didn't show up that he'd never hear the end of it. Which also meant that he had to bring a present.
