Sweat (Villain Bakugo x Reader)

Chapter 4

You fell asleep crying, tormented by the flashbacks. Your relationship with your father was never the same after that incident. Despite him reaching out to you, you've always felt like he blamed you for the death of Xion.

You dreamt of Xion, sneaking into the kitchen pantry to get your favorite caramel bars. You remembered when this happened. It was only after your birthday that your mom scolded you for eating the caramel cake frosting late at night when you snuck to the fridge. Xion remembered how caramel was your favorite in the world. As a matter of fact, the dream felt so real that you were awaken by the smell of caramel.

As you slowly opened your eyes you see Bakugo's ruby eyes staring at you, his face about an inch from you. You figured this was a chance. You quickly latched towards him with a fist. However, your actions were in vain. Bakugo catches your fists and choked you with his other hand, slamming your head on the wall.

"Your highness certainly doesn't know how to give up now does he?" 

Bakugo said as he squeezes your neck harder. You gasped for breath as he releases you.

"What are you doing watching me sleep you creep?"

"Is that really a way to talk to someone who just tended your wounds?"

You noticed your ankle, bruised by your tantrum last night, bandaged. You also realized that Bakugo had placed a blanket over you when you slept.

Bakugo went near the exit door.

"Oh, your father must've really loved you your highness. It hasn't been 24 hours yet and he has handsomely sent the ransom payment just last night when you were sleeping like a princess."

"So you'll let me go then?"

"Of course, a deal is a deal. I maybe a criminal but I ain't a liar. The key to your ankle chain is just under your pillow. When you're ready to leave, head out this way.

Everything seems too easy to be true, you felt nervous as you see Bakugo head out. What might be beyond that door? You don't even know where you are, maybe just outside is Bakugo's lackeys and goons waiting for an ambush. You unlock the chain and started to approach the exit. You felt your heart pound as you reached for the doorknob. Is this how your life will end? You ask yourself. No, a hero never backs down, you will fight until the very end.

You opened the door and a bright light hits you, and you hear people, no not people actually, but children. Laughing, screaming, and crying. You hear them. The place was an orphanage, a pretty run down place too. You see Bakugo wrestling with a few kids like an older brother would, then a little girl approached you.

"Mister, you look scary."

You looked down at the child and realized your quirk had slightly activated due to the anxiety before, exposing your short fangs.

"Hey look everyone Mr. (F/N) is awake. He's the reason you get to eat well for the next few days, he's also the one who bought you your new toys."

The children cheered for you. You felt the little girl hug you and thanked you for the doll she was holding in her hand. The whole situation seemed bizarre. What is going on?

"Mister! Carry me!"

The little girl asks. You picked her up and she introduced herself. Odd, you thought, she seems lighter than a normal kid would, you also noticed how thin she was.

"My name's Poppy!"

You feigned a smile. The reality of the situation still doesn't make any sense to you. You glared at Bakugo.
