Go Beyond (Bakugo x OC)

Stop It

BAKUGO'S POV
"Where the hell is she?" I ask as we arrive at the abandoned bathrooms. The mall is closing and is being surrounded by police.

"Maybe she met up with the others when the commotion started." Kirishima shrugs.

"No way, we would've seen her leave this area. Haze!" I call out. I refuse to come to any conclusions about what I saw. I could end up doing something stupid and losing her again. I can't do that, not when I'm so close to getting her all to myself.

We see her appear at the end of the alleyway. Her fists are tight and her head is down.

"What the hell was she doing back there?" I ask.

"From the looks of it she probably just needed a minute." Her body looks tense, what could've set her off?

"Hey, we gotta go." I gesture. She seems almost startled, as if she didn't notice us approach her.

"Yeah, some villains showed up and threatened Midoriya. The place is going to be crawling with police." Kirishima says, holding out her bags for her to take.

Her eyes dart between us before she turns to look behind her at where she just was.

"Come on, no time to act mysterious." I start. I grab her hand to pull her towards the exit. She yanks her hand away, leaving the two of us a bit shocked. What happened? She was so in love with being touched and it's been so long since she's refused me like that. No one says anything for a while. The three of us stand there in an awkward silence. The sounds of footsteps behind us grow louder before stopping.

"Hey! You three need to evacuate! Get moving!" An officer commands.

"Will do, sir!" Kirishima answers, scratching his head. "We're just waiting for our ride to get here."

He shakes his head at us. "Sorry kid, you're going to have to tell them to meet you off the property. No one is allowed on the premises. So get moving."

I groan. "Alright, rent-a-cop," I say quietly. "We're going."

We start walking to the exit. She still hasn't said a word since we found her. Neither of us have attempted to touch her since she snapped at me. I still can't understand why. She's been a bit off all day, but not at this level. She seemed angry. When she was just uncomfortable with physical contact, her mannerisms were different. She would almost instantly apologize for snapping, so the person wouldn't feel bad, but today is different.

We exit the parking lot and start to walk along the street with no real direction.

"Did you call Mr. Aizawa?" Kirishima asks her. Her eyes lift slightly and the usually gleam that is present in her eyes is replaced with a sense of disdain.

"No."

"Well, how the hell is he supposed to come pick you up?" I ask. Kirishima nudges me and shakes his head. He glances to her hands and there is a hint of smoke seeping between her closed fist. I sigh. "Alright, we're not too far from the campus. We'll walk there."

"Not me. I should probably get home before my parents worry." Kirishima shrugs. He pulls me in slightly. "You got this?" He asks, gesturing to Haze.

"Tch, don't I always?" I say obviously.

He raises his eyebrows and pulls away. "Uh, anyways...I'll see you guys!" He smiles, handing me Haze's stuff. He goes to hug her, hesitates, and abandons the idea. He waves and walks off.

The two of us stand on the sidewalk. I put my hands in my front pockets. "Well, come on." I gesture for her to start walking with me. She's practically dragging her feet. We walk in silence. She doesn't even lift her eyes to see the surrounding area. She does that shit all the time. Personally, if I was locked up for months I still don't think I'd have an aneurism over a damn streetlight, but it makes it her happy so whatever.
