More Than Friends ~ Katsuki Bakugo x Reader

Chapter 33 ~ Permission

After the fight, we took Katsuki to meet the police. The whole way there, he was silent. After all that was done, we finally went home. My mom looked worried, and we talked for a bit. After that, I eventually went to my room.

I scrolled through my phone for what seemed like hours and drifted off to sleep. It wasn't hard to sleep, I was tired after staying up so late, not to mention all the stress that I built up.

I woke up right before dinner. Apparently, the doctors called my mom, and I was allowed to remove my bandages the next week. I sat down, and we ate our food in silence.

My sisters still hadn't said a word to me since I got back. Assuming that they were still shaken by the fact that they almost lost me, I didn't bring it up.

I went up to my room and went back on my phone. My friends from America called me so we talked a bit. They sounded like they were crying. It was 4:00 in the morning over there, so I hung up, telling them to get some sleep.

It was only 6:00 in Japan so I sat and read a book. It felt like a while since I've been able to relax. I changed into my usual summer outfit of a crop top and shorts, making a desperate attempt to cool off.

The bandages didn't help, so I went to sleep a hot and sweaty mess.

I awoke from the sun in my eyes. I did my morning yelling at the sun, telling it to fuck off and let me sleep, and then just laid there.

A few minutes passed and I walked over to the mirror. Standing in front of it, I took off my bandages. My legs were barely scared, only the two scars from Hosu, and a few from the surgery, my arms didn't gain any new ones either. The real problem was my stomach. I huge scar was strewn across my abdomen.

It was extremely noticeable. I didn't really care if people saw it though. I walked back to my bed and face planted, hoping to get a few more minutes of sleep.

"(y/n)!" My mom screamed, it sounded like she was in the living room, right at the bottom of the stairs. In my house, screaming was the usual form of communication. The next thing she did, really pissed me off.

"What!" I yelled back to her, "What!" I yelled again, demanding an answer. This bitch had the nerve to ignore me. "What the hell do you want!?" I yelled for the last time, No, fucking, answer.

I shoved my knee brace on my knee and walked to the stairs. I stomped the whole way, pissed that she made me come down. Once I got to the top of the stairs, I failed to notice the slippery liquid that stood before me.

With one last step, I stepped on the liquid and went falling down. I tumbled down the stairs, doing twists and turns and other summersaults. "Oh, there you are," My mother said looking over at me. I growled and scratched my head while standing up.

"What the hell is so important? You didn't even fucking answer me. I was trying to sleep. Also, someone left a puddle at the top of the stairs and I almost busted my goddamned head open!" I yelled, "Watch your language!" My mother screamed back. "We have guests," she said through gritted teeth, I sighed and looked to the two other figures on the couch opposite mom.

I choked as I saw two of my teachers staring at me with wide eyes. "How are you?" All Might said, trying to break the uncomfortable silence. "Never better," I said shakily, hoping they wouldn't judge me on my outburst. "How's your stomach?" Aizawa asked plainly, "Fine," I said, another silence.

They looked tired and annoyed, they must have just had to deal with the Bakugous. "We would like to move the students into dorms," Aizawa said. My mom gave them a look that said 'are you fucking kidding me', "we think that this would be the best course of action for the students," All Might added on.

"We hope that you would give up the honor of continuing to teach (y/n), we believe she has great potential," Aizawa said, my mom sighed and continued.

"My daughter died, and If it wasn't for the paramedics, she wouldn't be standing here right now, I'm not too sure about her continuing at UA," My mom said "Mom," I hissed under my breath, she glared at me and I looked down.

"We are aware that we acted negligently as supervisors, and we hope you accept our apology, we are trying our best to keep the students safe," Aizawa apologized.

After a bit of convincing, my mom gave in. She agreed to let me move into the dorms and the teachers left. As the teachers were leaving, my mom smacked me in the back of the head, "you need to learn to watch your mouth!" she yelled at me.

I swear to god, this woman used to be all sweet and nice, but once she started to hang out with Mitsuki, she turned. I ran upstairs and threw myself on my bed once more. (After re-watching the episode, I wanted to point out that your house has a similar design to the Bakugous, so It's pretty big.)

I called up Katsuki and asked him how his meeting went. He said that his mom was happy for him to go and that she didn't hesitate. He didn't seem surprised when I told him that they practically had to beg my mom.

We talked for hours on end, not getting bored in the slightest.

Katsuki Bakugou Pov

We talked for what seemed like hours. I realized that I felt something more for her, more than the friendship we shared. Most of the time I try to push it off, but I can't help but feel my chest tighten or head spin when I'm around her.

I don't want to love her, I don't want to feel something more, we worked so hard to create this bond in such a short time, and I don't want to waste it.

Sometimes, I try to deny it, but as each day passes, the realization sinks deeper, that maybe, just maybe, I want us to be something , something more than friends.

A/N: this may not seem like much, but I feel like this is the first chapter in a while, that I feel fully content with.
