[ON HOLD] Soft Boi Katsuki - A Bakugo x reader College AU 18+

Chapter 45 - I've Got You

Katsuki POV

Determined to find Y/N, I get into my car and start driving to her last known location. I slam the door to my car and walk around in the dark using my phone as a torch.

I had been searching for over an hour and the sun had started to rise so with a sigh, I get back into my car and start to continue down the road to see where it leads in the hopes of finding her.

A few other cars pass my own on the road and I look into them as they pass with a hope filled heart, just willing for her face to be in one of them. Staring down the road ahead of me a see a car in the distance swerving slightly then readjusting its course.

I raise an eyebrow at it, my interest piqued and I step on the gas slightly to get myself closer to it. An invisible string is for some reason pulling me closer and closer.

Again the car ahead swerves, but it doesn't correct itself this time. What the fuck are they doing? Are they crazy?

All of a sudden the passenger side door of the car jerks open and I see someone jump out and then get up and make a run for it. The car continues off the road at full speed and collides with a tree.

"Oh shit!" Immediately I pull out my phone and dial 911 and call it in. I pull over quickly near the car and rush out to inspect it.

From the distance I can see y/c hair shine in the morning light and I feel my heart start to pound. "Oh fuck no..."

As I get closer the more and more my heart pounds and I feel myself start to panic. "Please... No!" Your facial features come into view and that's when I notice you raise your arm shakily and place it to your head and pull it away again, covered in blood.

"Y/N? " I call to you, but you've blacked out again.

I open the door, calling out to you again, touching your face softly. "Y/N! Oh God, please no." I put my fingers to your neck and try to feel for a pulse like I've seen them do in films.

I can feel a faint pulse beneath your skin and try to calm myself. "Can you hear me?" I try to unbuckle your seat belt, but my fingers fumble with my nerves and finally it comes undone.

"Y/N? Please!" I touch your face and move your hair out of your still closed eyes. That's when I notice the blood on your forehead and a huge gash just below your hairline.

"I've got you Y/N. I won't let you go, never again." I wrap my arms around you, bridal style and pull you out of the car and your head falls onto my chest.

"Can you hear me, Y/N?" You turn your head up to me slightly and I sigh in relief until you grunt out in pain. "It's okay, Y/N. Don't try to move, I've got you, okay."

"Katsu..." I hear you mumble with a croaking voice and I feel my heart swell in elation.

"I love you so much, Y/N. Don't ever do this to me again, you hear?" I chuckle softly and place you gently on the floor, keeping your upper body in my arms and your head against my chest. I cradle you with warm tears dripping down my face in both happiness that I've found you, and in sadness that this had to be how it happened.

Sirens sound in the distance but are getting closer by the second. "It's okay, I'm here to help you now and so are the paramedics. You can relax now, go back to sleep." I place my fingers on your face and start to stroke it, I plant small kisses on your head, then I feel your body going slack once more as you drift back out of consciousness.

I pace the corridor of the hospital, your parents(/guardians) are sat in the chairs, waiting just as anxiously. Mina and Kiri had met me here as well but were currently on a drinks round.

A doctor approaches us and your parents get up quickly to stand by my side. "Any news dr?" One asks.

"Yes, I'm sure you'll be glad to here Y/N is now in a stable condition. The operation went smoothly and hopefully Y/N will be awake in just a few short hours." I can feel a smile make its way onto my face for the first time in what feels like forever.

"Thank you so much, Doctor!" Your parents gush.

"Can we go in to see her?" I ask impatiently.

"Yes, but for now, it will be just two at a time and close relatives. If you have any questions please let one of the nurses know." He says and walks away.

"What? But I'm the one that found her! That's not fair!" I ask dumbfounded, getting frustrated.

"Katsuki, you are classed as family. You are always welcome to see, Y/N." Your parents tell me.

I look to them and nod my head in silent thanks and my shoulders sink in relief with that Kiri and Mina return with our drinks.

"I'm sure as much as you'd love to go and see her, we do just as much as you, so we will come and get you in twenty minutes is that, okay?" I can feel my heart pound and my hands clench as my body tenses but I nod my head at them and look away.

This is the first time meeting them and I know I will see you soon, so twenty more minutes of waiting to see you for the sake of your parents is okay even if it will feel like a lifetime.

They walk away from us, small smiles on their faces and they are holding eachother up. "Did something happen?" Mina asks me softly, placing the hot cups down on a table next to us.

"She's going to be okay." I reply just as softly and give her a smile.

"Really?!" She jumps up and holds me, both arms around my neck and I wrap my arms around her, leaning my head into her shoulder. "I'm so glad. I don't know what I would have done without her." She pulls away and hugs Kiri next, her face is streaming with tears.

"Me either..." I say sadly.

"Hey man!" Kiri drops his hand onto my shoulder. "It's all good! You can see her soon, yeah?" He gives me his signature grin. I smile back and nod. "Did they say how long she'd be out for?"

"Just that it would be a few hours or so. Her parents are in there, right now. They said they'd let me know when they're out, but its just relatives for now." I shrug.

"What? They can't do that! You deserve to be able to see her, you found her for god sakes!" Mina exclaims.

"I know, Mina, they said I'm like family so they want me to see her. It's fine." I smile at her warmly and she visibly relaxes and returns my smile.

We take a seat and I sip from my steaming coffee cup while we wait. I'm staring at the clock on the wall, watching it tick away ever so slowly. I hear footsteps approaching and look up to see your parents. They give me a small nod and smile. "She's awake and she's asking for you. She's in Room 221."

I jump up from my seat and head straight to your room without another word.
