meanie ➳ katsuki bakugou

➳ four

why must this insomnia be so strong?

i rolled in my bed once again trying to get comfortable. for the past three hours, i have fluffed my pillows, turned on my fan, positioned my comforter in ways to make me feel better, yet nothing was working. a small noise rumbled through the room.

my stomach. great. 3am and i'm hungry.

i sighed as i got up from my bed, wrapping my blanket around me to keep me warm, and sliding into my fluffy slippers. i tried to be as quiet as possible as i walked to the kitchen. before reaching there, i saw the tv in the common room on, the light slightly brightening bakugou's face as he laid on the couch. he was watching another show i like: seven deadly sins.

he turned to look at me as i offered him a little wave and he turned away after acknowledging me. i continued and rummaged through the kitchen, finding the big pack of cookies in the cabinets above my head. i smiled to myself as i ate one. delicious.

i started walking back, trying to keep the crinkling of the packaging to a minimum.

"are you taking the whole thing?" i heard him ask as i was about to walk past him.

"i'm hungry."

"who says i'm not?"

"you weren't thinking about these cookies until you saw them in my hand."

"well now i want some."

i rolled my eyes, walking over to him and opening the packaging, leaning over the couch for him to reach as we shared.

"so you like this show?" i asked him.

"i actually just started it."

"it's really good."

"you've watched? i didn't know girls watched anime."

"i mean you don't have to be a specific gender to like something."

"i guess that's true." he looked up at me, "come sit."

he moved his legs up so half of the couch was able for me to sit on. i complied, sitting on the couch with my feet tucked under my thigh, eating another cookie as my eyes averted to the television.

"so what do you think of the show so far?" i tried to make conversation.

"can i watch it first?"

i put my hands up in defense as i looked back at him.

he rolled his eyes as he sat up a bit.

"can i say something?" he asked me, leaning on his palms.

"sure i guess. i can't really stop you from talking." i smirked.

"um this isn't really easy for me to say. but it's late and it's been on my mind for a while. and since you're sitting here, it seems like this is a sign for me to say it."

"wow bakugou, are you gonna confess your love for me?"

"what the fuck."

"i'm sorry. proceed."

"i just wanted to say like... well... your quirk is cool... so you do deserve your spot here... and what you said, about me and my relationships with others... well you weren't wrong."

"is this your attempt at apologizing and admitting i was right?"

"i don't apologize."

"clearly."

he sighed before laying back down, kinda in defeat.

"thank you. for your non apology." i smiled at him, stuffing another cookie in my mouth.

he moved to get up, "i'll be right back."

"where are you going?" i asked.

"i'm gonna get my blanket. my feet are cold."

"oh so little explosion boy gets cold? here, we can share mine." i laughed, throwing my cover up so it can spread throughout the couch.

he took a few seconds to contemplate before sitting back down,
covering his lower half with the cover. our legs laid parallel to each other as we sat there.

"can i ask a question?" he asked, furrowing eyebrows.

"do you want me to give the same smartass answer?"

"do you like kirishima?"

my eyes widened and my heart started beating a little faster, "yeah, like a friend. we're just friends."

he nodded his head.

"why? does he like me?"

"i mean he hasn't told me anything. i was just curious."

"do you like me?"

he looked at me, eyebrows furrowed as he looked me up and down, before coming to a conclusion, "i don't entirely hate you."

i laughed, a little harder than i should have. and i heard him do a little chuckle too.

"you know, you're kinda cool when you're not going around and being mean and yelling at people."

"i don't need a loser like you to tell me i'm cool." he scoffed.

i laughed again, "now that i know you're kinda sweet, that doesn't really bother me."

"i'm not sweet princess."

"i'm not a princess."

"princess amaya aizawa." he chuckled with jazz hands.

i laughed again giving him a head bow, "royalty at your service."

"WHAT IS GOING ON?" i heard a loud voice boom, awaking me from my sleep.

it took me a second to realize where i was. i had fallen asleep on the couch with bakugo and i laying opposite to each other.

i looked up to see iida, kirishima, izuku, ochako, and tsu looking down at me and the now awoken bakugou.

i stretched my arms out and yawned as i sat up, "good morning guys."

"well it looks like you two had a good night." tsu laughed to ochako.

"WHAT DID YOU SAY?" bakugou's voice boomed, startling me.

"damn, dude, you just woke up. you can relax." kiri calmed him down.

"shut up, shitty hair." bakugou removed the blanket from him and got up to leave. as he flipped the blanket, i saw cookie crumbs fall to the floor.

"bakugou, who are you expecting to clean that up? this is the mess of you and amaya!" iida exclaimed pointing at the crumbs.

"you can fight over who gets to eat them for all i care." he said, turning back to look at me and giving me a head nod and a slight smile.
