a lot can happen

part 8

    Next day: bakugos pov

I didn't sleep much last night, i was to busy thinking of stupid deku to even think of sleeping. I walked down stairs dragging my feet slightly as I got into the kitchen. It was still pretty early so people were either asleep or on a run. I had grabbed myself a light breakfast and decided to change and go for a run to try and wake up.

As I was putting my shoes on at the front door I heard someone walking up to me. I looked up to see shitty hair rubbing the back of his neck, "I was wondering if I could go with you on your run". I looked at him for a second, he nervously laughed as I stared at him, I just shrugged standing up and walking outside. I don't particularly like running with someone up if i had said no he would have followed me anyway since we take the same route. "Just don't talk too much, I'm still tired," i said in a monotone voice. He shook his head giving me a shark toothed grin. We started jogging to the gates to see round faces and deku there talking. Shitty hair had slowed down and said hi, i just nodded as i jogged past. Deku looked just as tired as i was, it looked like he was struggling to keep himself smiling. Shitty hair catched up with me as I saw round face and deku run in the other direction. I guess their running together as well.

Shitty hair kept silent for most of the run just glancing at me every once and awhile. Anytime i would catch him he would blush slightly and look away. I rolled my eyes not really knowing why, "hey i was wondering since...you no you have nothing to do would you like to go out to eat on friday?" he asked, not meeting my eyes as he ran next to me. I really didn't have anything else to do, I didn't really want to go but otherwise I would get bored. "I guess I have something to look forward to," I said bluntly. He looked at me surprised and happy at the same time giving me a large toothy grin that made his eyes close. "Cool, 6 then?" he asked and i nodded, i already know he wants it to be a date.

I have to at least try, I don't want deku to be stuck with someone that was never there for him in the first place.

I don't want to wake up one day and to have hurt him again like when we were kids. No matter what deku says he can't get rid of the guilt i've lived with for all these years. The rest of the time on the run shitty hair was too excited to shut up. I grumbled to myself getting a headache. He's a good friend but his talking alone wouldn't even make me think of dating him. I like the quiet when I can get it, and just being in comfortable silence gets me a long way when i'm angry or upset, or in this case tired. "Ok ok, can you shut up, i'm already tired and you're giving me a headache" i said grumbling.

He chuckled nervously, finally stopping his chatterbox. Once we got back to the dorms a lot more people were up. I went to the kitchen and put a pot of water over the stove and went and changed, making myself a mug of tea . My headache resided in a small sting so I sat in the living room where deku was reading a book. Pikachu and the tape dispenser were watching something on TV and others were either talking or not even in the dorms. I was staring into space when I heard a scream and raccoon eyes jumped onto the couch making me jump up and spill the tea. "What the hell you damn deku!" I froze realizing I hadn't said my nickname for her. Everyone stared at me as raccoon eyes rolled off the couch, a very shook candy cane said "wow now i know how it feels when you yell at midoriya" he had been sitting on the couch and had been in the direction i had yelled at". I heard a snicker from behind me and I turned to see deku was trying to hold back laughter hiding his face with his book. I felt everyone following my movements the the shaking deku who you can plainly see trying to hold back laughter. I got right behind his book and said "got something to say deku" in the most menacing voice I could muster seeing how adorable he was.

He yelped and the next thing I knew I got a face full of book and I stumbled back landing on my ass. My face stung slightly as my eyes focused on a very shocked looking deku. His was closed and he was frozen in the end of a swinging motion kneeling on the chair he was sitting on seconds ago. It was silent for a few seconds till I growled as everyone looked wide eyed not knowing what to do.

I stood to my feet as deku gulped looking slightly worried. "Deku..." i said through gritted teeth. Next thing I knew he threw the book and launched himself from the chair and sprinted out of the room with me on his heels. Everyone was screaming for me to stop and other shit but I blocked them out.

We played a game of cat and mouse, he dodged my explosions as we ran around the dorms first floor, most of the others chasing behind us trying to get us to stop. He ran into the staircase next to the elevator bounding up three of them at a time. We both exit on the second floor, the others trailing behind not being able to keep up as they were still in the stairwell. I finally caught up to him tackling him and pinning below me. He gave a nervous smile, sweating as I glared down at him. I sat on top of him holding his hands above his head. I let go of them and grabbed the collar of his shirt, I didn't really wanna punch him. He gave a sly grin as he said "you look good on top of me, we should try that out sometime, i would love to watch you ride me all night" he said in a seductive tone as my face heated up. "You little twat!" I yelled, but before I could actually do something there was arguing from the staircase and our classmates ran through the door, no wonder it took them so long it looked like they were fighting to get in front. Deku went back to his little innocent look holding up his hands, his lips trembling.

My face kept burning, I tsked and let go getting off him, they all looked at me shocked as i walked away trying to hide as much blush as possible. "Whatever just don't do it again nerd!" I yelled as I walked away glaring at everyone that looked in my direction. I sat back down, putting my spilled mug in the kitchen and rubbing my head as my headache returned. I popped a pain killer and sat back down, everyone else came back down a few minutes later with deku. They eyed me but didn't try and talk to me knowing i would blow up on them.

The rest of the day went by faster, my headache had gone away but i was still irritated. I couldn't get what deku said out of my head, i tried to get some air at my little hiding spot to let off some steam but it hasn't worked as much as i hoped it would.

Whyyyyy

I wanted to stay away from deku but I kept gravitating towards him. Now that i spent that week locked up with him i've been catching things. Sometimes when round face would jump on him or surprise him I could see his act falter slightly, to think I never noticed it before. Now sometimes I can catch him staring into space before someone walks in and talks to him. I even catch him staring at me!

I groaned loudly, scratching my head, my friends looked at me worriedly, they've never seen me work up like this. Sure they've seen me angry tuns of times up, never this irritated or wracked up about something they can't even begin to understand.

After an awkward but nice dinner some of us went our separate ways while others stayed on the first floor hanging out for a little while longer. I went to my room, still feeling frustrated. Today was eventful not gonna lie, i felt like shit.

I sat on the edge of my bed with a sigh, rubbing my face with one of my hands. I changed into sleepwear to go to bed when I heard a knock at my door. I grumbled to myself just wanting to sleep my worries away. I trudged over to the door and opened quickly, delu was standing there in his pajamas rubbing the back of his neck smiling. Suddenly I felt my mind become calmer, that smile could probably make any person's day better no matter how bad it is. "I was wondering if i could sleep with you tonight...i had a hard time sleeping" he slightly mumbled but was loud enough for me to hear it.

I looked at him squinting, but after a few seconds opened the door wider for him to come in. "Sure why not, maybe I'll get a better night's sleep" I grumbled as he walked in. We both got into my bed and I snuggled close to him. He let me get as close as I wanted as he nuzzled into my hair sighing. We fell asleep without a word, all my worries slowly melting away.
