I Lived, Nerd【Katsuki Bakugou x Reader || Zombie Apocalypse AU】

【15】It's A Trap

Katsuki and I were walking to Kamino Ward which was where the League of Villains hideout was located. I decided to strike up a conversation.

"Katsuki, I just wanted to say—thank you."

"For what?"

"For everything. You've been an amazing zombie team leader and boyfriend. And you're willing to go back to get my Quirk."

"Well, you are my girlfriend, so-"

I laughed, "True."

I leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. I wanted to hold his hand, but his grenade gauntlet was in the way. Thinking the same thing I was thinking, Katsuki took off one of the gauntlets and held it under his other arm so he could take my hand. It was so sweet of him!

"It's weird not having my Quirk anymore," I told him. "I mean, I didn't use it much in the first place, but still. It's weird knowing those creepos have it. . . I feel more vulnerable now."

"Don't worry, they won't have it for long. Besides, I'll protect you."

I couldn't help but smile again.

"Hey, Katsuki," I began. "Remember when my diary fell back in the military base?"

"Oh—we're gonna talk about that?" he cringed, squeezing my hand tighter in nervousness.

"Well, I wanted to ask something."

Taking a big gulp and trying to swallow the lump in his throat, he choked, "Yah?"

"You said that there were so many things you wanted to tell me. What were they?"

"You and your photographic memory," he sighed.

"I'm waiting~!" I sing-songed.

"So, just out of the blue in the broad daylight, I'm just s'posed to bore my soul?"

"What if we die and I'll never know?"

"If we die, it won't matter anymore."

"Well, it must be juicy!" I grilled.

"Isn't getting your Quirk back enough?" he tried dodging.

"Aw, c'mon!" I begged desperately.

"Fine." He readied himself to tell me what he had been meaning to say, but then decided not to. "Actually, I can't."

"Why not?" I frowned.

"I'll say it when the time's right. Not just because we're in some apocalypse which could kill us in the next two minutes. I'd rather wait to say it in a place where it means something. . .or whatever."

At that, I smiled and said, "Alright~"

He awkwardly cleared his throat, "Ahem, ye."

Then suddenly, Deku and Yuga started singing the Titanic song. Katsuki casually swung one arm backward, shot out an explosion at them, and kept going as Deku and Yuga flung into the air.

Katsuki went on, "Point is, I'm going to get your Quirk back. I swear."

I blushed and smiled. How did I ever get someone as great as him?

He then randomly said, "Excuse me while I pulverize this tree to oblivion."

Before I could comment, I heard a blast that would have awaken Nessie. I guess he needed to get that off his chest.

"You know, Katsuki," I responded. "Back when we were battling the League of Villains yesterday, a clone of you came up and I immediately knew it wasn't you."
