I Lived, Nerd【Katsuki Bakugou x Reader || Zombie Apocalypse AU】

【18】Planning A Train Wreck

When we finally got to Katsuki's house, the guys in our group were heavy-laden with shopping bags full of clothes, accessories, makeup, shoes, and wedding decorations.

The next morning, we sent them out again for hors d'oeuvres and food for the reception.

"Katsuki!" I walked up to him. "Did you bring the ice?"

He held up a plastic bag full of water.

"Uh. . .what's that?"

He glanced at it and mockingly gasped, "THE GOLDFISH ESCAPED."

"So, why did the ice melt?" I folded my arms.

"You sent a guy out in the middle of the day in July whose body temperature exceeds the boiling point of water and you ask me what happened to the ice."

I said, ". . .And your point is?"

"If you wanted a boyfriend who could bring you ice, maybe you should have dated Icy-Hot!" He then stormed off.

Shouto was behind him, grinning. "Who's needed? This guy~" He said as he pointed his thumbs to his chest. "Hey, (Y/N). If you wanted ice, all you had to do was ask."

"SOMEONE JUST GET THE ICE!!" Tenya screeched from across the room, his arms chopping more than ever.

But all I could do was yell at Shouto, "Ah, stay out of it!" And I ran off, looking for my boyfriend. He was lying in his pirate ship bed, throwing darts at the poster of Deku on the ceiling. "Katsuki, what's got you down?"

"Sorry, babe. It's just all so surreal, y'know? All those idiots down there are preparing for a future that's a lie. But is that what we're all doing? Why are we all here just to suffer? Are we just preparing for a future that doesn't exist?"

I took his hands. "I thought you said it doesn't matter what the future holds as long as we're together."

"Yeah, but how can I become King Explosion Murder, the best hero since the guy who invented Taki's, if there ain't any other heroes to compare to? I mean, All Might's a homeless bum getting married to that idiot Deku's mom and Gran Torino looks like he has rabies." He then sat up. "I can't just save the world all on my own. I at least need the others to use as bait for the bad guys."

"True, true," I replied. "Maybe you could use Mineta as bait or something."

"Who'd want him?"

Once again, he had another point. So, I just sighed and said, "Look, let's just try to have fun. At least everyone's alive!"

He then let out a loud, drawn-out groan. "Yeah, now they're just gonna live in my house and eat all my chips!"

"At least you have, uh," I started to think of what he had that could have made him feel better, but nothing came to mind. ". . .You can explode things?"

At that, a smirk crossed his face and he hopped onto his feet off the bed. "Speaking of which, I think I'll use Deku for some more target practice today." He then ran out of the room, calling out Deku's name. "DEKUUUUU!"

I giggled, though I felt a bit scared for Deku. But I guess he could handle himself.

Mitsuki walked in the bedroom and said, "Oh, hey, (Y/N). I didn't know you were here. Don't mind me." She said as she opened the closet door and threw a dart at her husband's picture. "I just had to get that off my chest~ So, dear. Is there anything you'd like to talk with me about? Y'know, woman-to-woman since I never had the daughter I always wanted?"

"If you don't mind me asking—why didn't you have more children?"

"Well, you know, after Katsuki—you just kinda give up."
