Save My Soul : Bakugou x Reader

21 - Competition

"Woah (Y:N), you look great in your costume!" You heard Hagakure squeal as you joined the class who were stood waiting for the rescue lesson to begin. Her compliment caused the others to look in your direction. They all took in your appearance as you pushed Mina who let out a wolf whistle. You could practically hear Mineta's drool hitting the floor but you ignored him and hoped for All Might to turn up soon. You stood unaware of the two boys who continued to drink in your form, they didn't know why but they just couldn't look away.

Bakugo's jaw was almost hitting the floor when Kirishima chuckled, "Stop staring bro, you're being obvious." Bakugo averted his stare, which quickly became a glare, to the redhead. He cursed at him and told him to mind his own damn business. He felt embarrassed at being called out, he didn't even think of you that way, he just never noticed you were hot. Wait what? That's not what he meant.

Shoto on the other hand only stopped staring at you when All Might appeared, he didn't know what was wrong with him today. He just felt his gaze drifting to you constantly, you were just happier than usual. You always used to look bored or annoyed but for some reason you didn't look like that today, your expression was lighter. It made him happy to see you like that.

Today the class would be racing to rescue All Might who was stood in the middle of a large metal labyrinth. The first group had raced and no surprise to you, Sero won but, Midoriya's progress over the past week had shocked you. I mean he wasn't able to use his powers without injuring himself before but now he was actually utilising it in a way that was effective for both speed and power. His little display had just confirmed your suspicions that he had the same quirk as All Might. Also, the way that he sometimes yells 'smash' does nothing to quell your suspicions.

It was now your turn, you were racing Bakugo, Shoto, Tokoyami and Tsu. If you had done this a week ago you would have definitely lost but now you had a few tricks up your sleeve. You rolled your shoulders back and grinned to yourself. You could hear Bakugo cockily declare that he was going to win and you scoffed, 'we'll see about that.'

When the start signal sounded, you immediately deployed your wings and thrusted them downwards to soar upwards. You swooped and twisted around any obstruction that appeared in your path. Sure your flying was probably a bit more show off-ish than it needed to be but you couldn't help it, flying just felt too euphoric. Your eyes locked on to All Might as soon as he appeared in your line of sight, 'gotcha.'

You saw his eyes turn into big saucers at the sight of you which made you chuckle, it felt good to be on top again. You landed gently in front of him as he congratulated you on your victory before you heard Bakugo's signature battle cries from behind you. You swivelled around to face him, confusion and frustration written all over his face. You offered a condescending wave with a lazy smirk. You stepped aside to let him land, feeling your wings scratch against the floor as they dragged along it.

"SINCE WHEN IN THE HELL COULD YOU FLY?!" He went to grab the collar of your uniform but when faced with the reality that you weren't in your uniform and you had no collar for him to grab he settled with gripping your waist. He pulled you towards him threateningly. You were on your tippy toes now, your face just inches from him. Your gaze flickered across his furious face, smirk never leaving your face as you leaned further in to whisper in his ear.

"Always could." You placed your hands on his chest, pushed him away and walked away to Shoto who had seen the entire interaction between you and Bakugo. He felt an ugly feeling building in his gut at the sight of Bakugo's hands on your waist, your bodies were far too close for his liking. Bakugo locked eyes with Shoto and the two glared at each other.

"Shoto!" You snapped him out of his daze as he returned his attention to you, who was staring up at him with your mesmerising rainbow eyes. Bakugo almost growled when he heard you refer to the icy hot bastard by his first name. He wondered when that had happened. Everyone was progressing so fast in so many different areas and if he didn't do anything about it then he'd be left behind. He was not going to let that happen and he sure as hell wasn't going to let that half and half bastard be the one that beat him. Though he wasn't quite sure what he was trying to beat him at.
