Baka!

Chapter 8: Movie Night

2 Weeks Later:

"Come onnnnn, Hayato! It's just movies and snacks, and it's been forever since you've hung out with us" I tucked pieces of hair back into my bun, Yaoyorozu grabbed my shoulders
"It will be fun! It might even pull you out of this weird slump or whatever you're in" 2 whole weeks had passed, Bakugo hasn't been at school for 2 whole weeks.

I couldn't decide whether to be angry, or scared, or.. I don't even know. I also can't help but feel like it's my fault, did I say something? Or do something? Then again I feel like I'd be stupid for me to even consider that I was the reason he wasn't showing up... right?

"See, now you have to come. We will come to your house and draaaag you out!" Ochako said, I let out a breath

"Fine. I'll come, but I'll go to your house earlier though because it's supposed to rain so I want to get there before then. I'm not walking to your house in the rain" she smiled widely

"Of course! This is going to be so fun!" We rounded the corner entering the lunchroom and Yaoyorozu nudged me slightly with her elbow, Kirishima threw his arm over my shoulder pulling me into his side. The girls said bye to me and he led me over to his table, with his arm still around me. Kirishima and I have been getting closer and closer, and it's starting to get a little weird for me. He has this kind of... thing? For me and I thought it was a crush but at this point it's grown into more for him, which is awkward because I consider him my best friend more than anything.

"Emi-Chan!!How are you today?" He asked, settling beside me.

"The same I guess. I-" any words that were going to come out of my mouth stopped all at once, I stared at the entrance to the cafeteria. He walked in with his hands in his pockets and a bored look on his face, I was frozen in my spot and despite my internal protests I couldn't help but watch as he approached the table.

"Oh, Bakugo!! Hey, where the hell have you been?!" Kirishima yelled waving him over, I snapped out of my daze whipping my head down to face my food. Oh shit. My stomach was doing fucking back flips and I felt a flutter in my chest, what the hell is going on with my body?! I pushed my hair behind my ear and took deep breaths, he sat across from us next to Kaminari. I began eating my food, refusing to look up at him.

"Hey. Why the hell is she sitting here?" He asked in a bored tone, I braced myself before looking up at him. My heart began pounding as I started to remember everything that happened on the roof, I-... I think I missed him? When I was silent, Kirishima spoke up. He slid an arm around my waist and pulled me into his side, Bakugo visibly tensed gripping the edge of the table.

Normally I would've set Kirishima straight, but for whatever reason my voice wasn't working, I groaned internally. What the hell is going on? Stop being an idiot! Bakugo stared holes into the side of my head, daring me to look up at him. I could feel how pissed at me he was

"Yeah, she's been hanging around with us for a while now. She's like- Kirishima's girlfriend or something but she's really cool! She not like those other girls" Mineta spoke up, I mentally face palmed. Dammit.

"We're not together! Not yet at least-"

"I have to go" I finally cracked under pressure and stood up, Kirishima grabbed my wrist

"You alright, Emi-Chan?" I looked at Katsuki. His expression read two words : Fucking run. I pulled my wrist from Kirishima's grip and speed walked away from the table, completely ignoring his question. I walked into the girls bathroom and locked myself in the stall with my head in my hands, what the hell just happened?! How did I just let Kirishima insinuate that I liked him?

"Oh god" I groaned letting my head fall gently against the wall of the stall, why did I completely loose all control around Katsuki. I was fine around him before! That memory of the fucking roof is messing with my damn head. I should just forget it, especially since it probably meant nothing to him anyway. If it did, why didn't he text me? Or call? Anything, he just went missing! I need to get him out of my head, I refuse to upset myself over this anymore.
————————
The rest of the day went by pretty uneventfully, aside from the death glares I received from Katsuki which I tried my hardest to ignore. He almost blew his fuse when he heard Kirishima was coming over, which was planned way before I even knew that Katsuki was returning today, on the way to my house Kirishima was explaining to me that he had been sick and that's why he wasn't at school.

"Oh. That makes sense.. do you know if he's feeling any better?" Kirishima shook his head as I unlocked my door

"No, he said he's still feeling a little sick but it wouldn't be good if he missed anymore school" I nodded, we walked in and my house was empty. Kirishima and I studied and watched movies for 2 hours before he fell asleep on my living room floor. I took out my contacts and leaned back relaxing into the couch. There was some time before we were to head over to Yaoyorozu's house, so I decided I'd take some soup over to Katsuki. We need to talk, even if he's mad at me... I made some hot soup and left my house, he lived up the street if I remember correctly. I saw a car parked in the driveway with an 'UA High' sticker on it and figured it was Kasuki's house, I knocked on the door and a woman opened it. It was his mom

"Hiya! Is there something you need?" I pushed some hair behind my ear

"Is Katsuki home?" She gave me a surprised face and noticed the thermos in my hand

"Yeah, one second hun- KATSUKI! THERES A CUTE KID AT THE DOOR AND SHES ASKING FOR YOU, YOUD BETTER COME QUICK!" She shouted over her shoulder before giving me a charming smile, I fought back the blush creeping into my face. She disappeared into the house and Katsuki appeared, my breathing hitched. He was wearing a tight black shirt and grey sweatpants. Good lord. I clenched my hand around the thermos tightly, I took a small step back and looked up at him

"I-... heard you weren't feeling well. So I-um. Brought you soup" stuttering idiot. Pull it the hell together! He glared at me in disgust, completely ignoring my outstretched hand

"..Kirishima told you that" he stated, I nodded clearing my throat

"Yeah, about that-"

"Get away from my house" my stomach dropped. I clenched the thermos in my hand

"What?" I asked, he scowled clenching his fists

"I said get the fuck away from my house!! Don't say another word to me, now get out of my fucking sight!" He exploded making me flinch backwards, I missed the last step and fell on my butt in the grass. The thermos flew out of my hand and hit the ground with a crack making the soup spill out onto the ground, I glared up at him and she shook his head at me

"What the fuck is your problem, idiot!" I shouted back, getting to my feet

"GET OUTTA MY FACE, DUMBASS" I growled raising my hand and throwing the discarded soup in his face, he swore at me wiping his face

"And to think I fucking liked you. Don't you ever even look my way again, fuck you" he looked at me confused

"You.. like me?" I stormed off leaving him where he was, that fucking asshole! I got back to my house and Kirishima was just waking up, he looked at me confused

"Emi-Chan where'd you go- woah hey what's wrong?" He grabbed my shoulders to stop me from walking, but instantly flinched away burning his hand on my exposed skin
"Emiko....what the hell is going on with your eyes?" He whispered, backing away cautiously. I stared at him, my chest heaving with anger. Dammit, my contacts! I inhaled sharply clinching my fists, I felt fire start to envelope my body slowly. Kirishima trembled lightly and his eyes went wide

He's scared.

Of me...

"Kirishima-" he swallowed hard shaking his head at me

"Yeah, I forgot my phone charger at home. I'll see you at Yaoyorozu's, okay?" His voice shook and seconds later, he was gone. I stood in my living room by myself, my anger slowly subsiding. I looked down to see that I had completely burned the carpet around me
