My Hero Acadamia Short Stories (Volume 1)

Blindness is Key: Part 11 (Bakugo)

"Alright, everyone!" Mr. Aizawa said loudly. "We're done for today!"

"Yay! Now we can go swimming!" Mina said as she wrapped her arms around me and basically tackled me to the sand. "Come on y/n, lets go get our bathing suits!" She said and started dragging me somewhere.

"Wait Mina." I said and held onto her as best as I could. "I don't have a swim suit."

"What do you mean you don't have a swim suit?" She asked me, and suddenly I could see and feel the ground. I collapsed on the ground with my limbs out stretched.

"Mina what did you do this time?" I heard Denki ask as him, Sero, Kiri, and Bakugo stepped out of the sand.

"I can see!" I screamed into the ground, and they all laughed at me.

"Guys, we're going to have to go shopping real quick." Mina said, and the boys picked me up off the ground. "Y/n doesn't have a swim suit."

"Mina, I'm not going to go swimming." I told her, and we started walking back towards where we were staying.

"Why not?" She asked me, and started stomping around like a little kid.

"Because I can't even see in sand, and you want me to float around in water where I have an even worse sense of direction." I said, and she was quiet.

"She's got you there." Kiri told her and we walked into the building. Mina slapped him, and I made my way for the stairs.

"You know what y/n?" I heard Mina asked, and I stopped walking up the stairs. "I have an extra bathing suit." I hung my head and whined.

"I should just throw myself over the railing now." I said and tried swinging my leg over the stairs railing. Mina rushed up the stairs and pulled me off, and then pulled me up the stairs. And surprisingly, I didn't trip this time.

"Come on, I promise you'll be fine." She told me and handed me a two piece bathing suit. "We'll be there the whole time. And you don't have to do anything more than getting your feet wet."

"Mina, I don't even know how to begin to explain how scary that is to me." I told her and sat down on my bed. "When I get in the water, I have zero sense of direction. I can't tell which way is up or left. And to top it all off, I can't swim." She came up to me and wrapped her hands around mine.

"I promise you don't have to even get in the water." She told me. "At least come get some sun, you look like you could use it."

"Well I wouldn't know." I said, and we were both quiet for a moment before we both fell into a pit of giggles. "Fine. I'll go, and I'll plant my butt on a towel and I won't move." I told her.

"Yay!" She said and we changed.

After we changed Mina packed a bag for the two of us, and we both headed back down stairs.

"Took you long enough Mina." Sero said, and I slowly made my way down the stairs. Once I stepped off the step, the boys were staring at me.

"You guys are staring, what?" I asked and covered myself. "Mina, I swear to god if you set me up in something bad!"

"No no no!" The boys yelled.

"We just weren't expecting you to come with us." Kiri said and I stepped towards them.

"I got to say though, I'm not very comfortable like this." I said and crossed my arms across my chest.

"You look great though." Mina told me and hooked her arm around mine, and we walked out of the house.

"I don't like this." I said quietly to myself as we walked towards the beach, and I could see the barrier.

"I promise you're going to be fine." Mina told me. "We've got you, right boys?"

"Yeah, don't worry about anything." Denki said, and I turned towards him.

"Shouldn't I worry if you sneeze while in the water though?" I asked him, and we all laughed. But my joke wasn't working.

I took a deep breath and held onto Mina tight, as I stepped back over the edge of my vision. And I walked with her through the sand, trying to keep my breathing under control.

But my breathing stopped when a pair of hands wrapped around me and ripped me from Mina.

"Bakugo, what are you doing?" I asked and he threw me over his shoulder.

"What do you think?" He asked, and I heard Mina yelling as she ran after us. I tried grabbing onto Bakugo as best as I could, but with him running I couldn't get my arms around him tight enough.

"Bakugo stop!" Mina yelled.

I heard water splashing from him walking into the water. And the part I wish never came, happened. He lifted me into the air and threw me.

"Bakugo! She can't swim!" I heard Mina scream before I felt cold, and was completely surrounded by water.
