It Isn't Easy

Missions (Chapter 7)

Part three of four.

Bakugo's P.O.V

I slid my shirt off my shoulders, looking over at a dazed, shirtless, Kirishima.

"Oi shitty hair, you okay over there?" My voice was quiet, I didn't want to startle the red head.

He blinked quickly and shook his head, putting on a fake smile and looking over at me.
"Oh...yeah I'm fine."

I rolled my eyes and walked over to him, wrapping my arms around the boy. He buried his face in the crook of my neck and I began to pet his hair gently.
"You can talk to me you know..." I sighed, rubbing his back.

"I know I just...I want to tell you so bad but I'm worried..." The muffled mumble sounded and I pulled back slightly to look at his face.

"Eijiro, I'm calling you that now, you better tell me. If I find out later and it isn't from you, you better know you'll get your ass kicked." I said, jokingly threatening the boy.

He nodded, a small smile playing on his lips.
"Do you want to know the real reason I came to join the League of Villains..?" He averted his eyes, shame lingering in the scarlet depths.

I took his chin in my hands and turned his face toward me again.
"I knew something was up, why'd you do it Kiri?"

"Fat Gum asked me to spy. I said yes, I hoped that I wouldn't see you. I didn't want to have to do this..." The red head began to cry, his shoulders shaking.

I pulled him back to my chest, sighing and I ran over the different ways I could react to this.
"So you joined, and hoped it'd run smoothly. What's the problem now?"

"Bakugo I don't want to do this. The running back and forth, choosing between the sides. I want you, but I want to be a hero. And I don't think the latter is a choice anymore. After what happened a few hours ago...I think I'm going rogue..." He cried harder, clutching my sides.

I nodded slowly and kissed his cheek, drawing small circles on his back.
Words pushed at my throat and I opened my mouth, ready to let them spill out.

I closed it again, procrastinating on if this would really make the situation better.
Would this stress him out more?
Is this really going to help?
Goddamnit Katsuki go for it!
I cursed at myself, pulling the boy back once more.

I kissed him lightly and he kissed back, his eyes fluttering closed.

After a couple minutes we pulled away, and Eijiro stared at me silently, taking in my features.
He was trying to read me.

I closed my eyes and exhaled slowly.
"Eijiro I don't know if this will help at all but...I think I love you..."

I bit my bottom lip nervously, feeling him tense up.
And you've done it once again dumfuck.
You messed up.

"Katsuki I think I love you too," His head fell forward and came to a rest on my shoulder.

I smiled and lifted him up from under his thighs.
Almost on instinct he wrapped his legs around my waist and I carried him to the bed, laying him down and curling up beside him.

Eijiro wrapped his arms around me and I rested my head on his chest.
"Night Bakubae," He mumbled into my hair.

"Night Ei."

I woke up and glanced around.

The angel beside me barely stirred and I rolled by eyes at him.
I carefully unwrapped his arms from around me, and stood up, checking my phone to see the time.

"Hm?" He asked, his eyes opening and closing almost immediately as he saw how bright the room was.
"Fuck...time?"

"It's already ten, get your ass up." I tossed one of my shirts at him and he grinned, revealing his shark teeth.

That may have been a slight turn on, but I fought it down and continued rummaging through my clothes.

"Smells like you too," I heard a laugh and I looked over, my eyes narrowed.

"What?"

"I said the shirt smells like you. You smell like caramel." He said, a hand shadowing just face as he tried to block out the light.

"Whatever, just get dressed. We're on the move today. We gotta go to the next client. Then we'll be back at HQ."

"Alright alright..." He nodded, slipping the shirt on and standing up in a stretch.

I tried to ignore the fact that the shirt hitched up, revealing his v-line and the bottom of his abs.

"So, we're going to pack up and head out. We might have some extra time then. We could watch something and chill?" The red head suggested.

"Sure." I replied bluntly, pushing down any temptation I had right now.

"Mk," He spun around and walked over to his bags.

I shook my head and continued packing up.

Today was gonna be hard.

After lots of packing up and cleaning, plus Eijiro teasing the hell out of me, we watched a movie and got on the road.

"Hey Kat, do you think we could stay at hotels more often?" The shark asked.

I looked over and he was smirking with a raised eyebrow.

My cheeks instantly heated up and I silently cursed myself.
"If you want to," I shrugged, looking back at the road.

"Sounds good." He nodded and turned his attention back to the side of the road.

I searched for any cars in the driveway, and thankfully found none.

Eijiro got out and grabbed our bags from the backseat.
"This shouldn't be too hard."

"Yep, we won't need long to set up and then we'll just wait. From what crusty said he should come back within about a day or two."

"We got this," He walked up to the from door and checked the handle. It didn't budge.

I watched as the red head activated his quirk and his hand hardened. He gave a yank and the doorknob broke, leaving the door to swing open.
"As I said, easy."

He looked back at me and winked. "We'll ave lots of free time."

Damn you shitty hair.
