Dear Diary (Powerpuff Trio x Reader)

Deserve

Katsuki fell to his knees beside her with a groan, his dazed eyes rapidly blinking as he tried to come to terms with what just happened. Small blood droplets mixed with sweat splattered onto the ground and he firmly pinched the bridge of his nose before tipping his head back. He winced. Shit hurt like hell, more than his arms.

He saw (Y/n)'s leg twitch from the corner of his eye and he looked down at her. Her back was turned to him but he could tell that she was starting to gain consciousness.

Sitting back on his heels, he scoffed to himself as he looked back up. Although she lost, he couldn't deny that she was one hell of a fighter. Took him by fucking surprise too. When she challenged him to a fight, he had envisioned it to end differently; with him subduing her in one move, forcing her to admit defeat and her submitting to his demands. What he didn't expect was that she was a sneaky little shit who knew how to use her Quirk and surroundings to her full advantage, even if she was outmatched in terms of power.

His mouth curled down in a scowl. What the fuck was he thinking? Underestimating her and thinking she needed protection, making her the bait when she could perfectly hold her own against him of all people.

Just when he thought he had her all figured out, she comes around and damn near breaks his fucking nose. Twice!

Next to him, (Y/n)'s eyes fluttered opened and light flooded her blurry vision. She blinked her glazed eyes as she gradually registered where she was and what had happened. It all came in at once. The memories, the fatigue, and worst of all, the pain.

Her head felt like it was about to explode, all her muscles in her body ached and her chin was on literal fire. Wincing, she set her shaky palm on the ground and weakly tried to raise herself into a sitting position. Her hand gave out on her and she collapsed back to the ground. She let out a pained groan and she slowly rolled over on her back.

Her lidded eyes fell on Katsuki. The boy lowered his chin and met her gaze, his fingers still around his nose's bridge, and lips parted to breathe. He looked like a mess, she noted, with blood coating his lips and throat. His skin and costume were covered with dirt, sweat, and grime and several grass particles clung to his wet costume. At least she could relax and take comfort that she wasn't the only one who looked a wreck.

Breaking the uncomfortable eye contact, the girl shifted to her side and tried getting up again. She finally managed to push herself into a sitting position but with a lot of difficulty. She winced when a crippling pain radiated from her back but she powered through it and struggled to get to her feet. All through, Katsuki stayed silent while he watched her struggle.

Once she was on her feet, she stumbled forward a few steps. She felt dizzy but managed to get the hang of it as she began trudging towards a nearby tree. She went around it, making sure that Katsuki couldn't see her anymore and her back fell against the tree trunk. She slid down to the ground and leaned her head against the tree trunk.

Huffing out a hefty sigh, she closed her eyes and allowed herself to rest for a second.

Katsuki frowned and released his nose. He wiped off the blood that was on his lips before looking back at the tree (Y/n) had disappeared behind. She had probably gone there to sulk since she had lost a fight she had started. He couldn't blame her. He would too.

Rising to his feet, he followed after her.

(Y/n)'s eyes shot open when she heard rustling behind the tree and she curiously peered around it. Katsuki had come to sit on the other side, his back against the trunk. She looked back in front and stared down at her lap. She brought one knee up to her chest and leaned her head back against the trunk.
