Save My Soul : Bakugou x Reader

27 - Exhaustion

"Ah, fuck!" You rolled across the ground and slammed into a tree. Who told that pussycat hero that chucking a bunch of kids off a cliff with a landslide was a good idea? Your pretty sure you felt both your back and right arm release a crunch, so you looked down at your arm to see it bent in the wrong direction. You used your left arm to push yourself up to stand against the tree. You cringed in pain as the mangled limb snapped back into place, "shit!" You cursed, why did it have to hurt when it heals?

You focused on your classmates again to see Midoriya save Mineta from getting whacked by a large mud beast. They were really going to make you guys battle your way to camp! You pressed forward as everyone else faltered, deploying your wings. You began to just fly over the whole forest but when you heard the battle cries of your classmates, you decided to help out. You saw Koda back up against a tree as a mud beast barrelled towards him. You dived, manoeuvring yourself to spin as you flew, with your momentum you brought your wings into yourself to create a sharp point above your head and you drilled straight through the monster. You smacked into the ground for the second time that day because you forgot to take landing into account. The beast crumbled around you, and Koda looked like he was seconds away from feinting. This was going to be a long walk.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Panting and groans were all that could be heard from your class as you all emerged from the forest of beasts. You dissolved your wings and leant against Kirishima who also leant against you. The blonde pussycat started to fuss about dinner and four of your classmates but you were way too tired to focus on anything she said. The amount of sleep you get, which is basically none, is only just about sufficient for a normal day so you were currently absolutely shattered. You perked up slightly at the smell of food and ran to get a plate, though to your dismay, the only utensils they had were chopsticks. Now, despite the fact that you've been in Japan for years, you couldn't use chopsticks. You stuck to what you knew; knives and forks.

You gripped the thin sticks in your hand, trying to get a proper handle on them but whenever you did, you couldn't sustain it while picking up the food. You groaned and slammed your head against the wooden table you were sat at. This drew the attention of the people near you, who looked at you worriedly.

"You ok, (Y:N)?" Sero asked and shook your shoulder from beside you. You placed your chin on the table and let out the longest sigh, the tape boy had ever heard.

"I can't use chopsticks!" You wailed and face planted the wooden surface again. The students around you began to laugh at your defeated attitude towards something so small. They couldn't believe that you couldn't do something so simple. You started to whine about how your hunger was going to eat you alive when Shoto voiced a suggestion from beside you.

"I've finished, would you like me to feed you?" You sat up in hope and looked at his, indeed empty, bowl. You averted your desperate gaze back up to his eyes, he was being serious. You wrapped your arms around his left arm that was right next to you and repeatedly thanked him. He picked up your chopsticks as you let him go, picked up some of the hot, delicious food and brought it up to your lips. You opened your mouth and bit down over the food and the boy pulled the chopsticks from your closed mouth. You moaned at the tasty food and chewed excitedly, almost choking from your hastiness. The peppermint haired boy smiled softly at your food filled cheeks as you stared up at him with your shining rainbow eyes. He could get lost in your eyes forever. You playfully opened your mouth at him and waited for him to feed you again, which he did.

"Ahhhh" you let out a satisfied sigh as you sunk into the hot springs. It was a perfect reward for a day of hard work, the girls seemed to be just as happy about it as you. You all lazily chatted before hearing Mineta's annoying voice exclaim something perverted. Your eyebrows furrowed together when you heard quick thuds against the wooden separation. You used your aura sight to see him climbing the wall. He reached the top only to be punched by Kota, who fell backwards after being thanked by a shamelessly naked Mina. You chuckled as you watched Midoriya catch him and take him inside.

"Midoriya caught him." You informed your worried looking peers before going back to relaxing with your eyes closed. Although, you kept your aura sight on since, you've always been paranoid about being snuck up on when your eyes were closed. Your quirk could see through anything and that included your own eyelids, it was quite handy for when you've been blindfolded in the past.

"So who do you think looks best then (Y:N)?" Hagakure asked from in front of you. They had been discussing who they thought looked the best their hero suit out of the boys. You didn't realise that now the boys were also listening in on the conversation. You mulled over the question in your head, their answers consisted of Bakugo, Shoto, Kirishima and of course Uraraka said Midoriya. You pictured each boy in your mind, you stopped on one and in your opinion he did look the best. The entire class waited with bated breath for your answer.

"Which guy in the class do I think looks the best in their hero costume?" You paused for dramatic effect as the girls leaned in closer to you. "Sero... I think it's a cool design and it really compliments his physique." It was true, you thought he looked really attractive in his hero suit. The girls were surprised with your answer, Sero fist pumped in the air in the other hot spring and Bakugo and Shoto tried not to let their disappointment show.

As soon as you hit your futon after readying for bed, you pass out. You laid on your front with your head head turned to the right and your limbs starfish-ed out around you. The rest of the girls quickly fell asleep as well and for a time the room was silent and peaceful. This only lasted about an hour before your breathing became laboured and your face scrunched up in fright. You tossed and turned your sleep before lurching and waking yourself. You gasped and curled in on yourself, you tried to catch your breath and block out the images from your dream. No matter how well you managed to block out your past when awake, the demons of your past always caught up when you succumbed to the abyssal void of slumber.

You reached for your phone and shoved your earphones into your ears. You opened Spotify and shuffle played your relaxation playlist, you laid back down normally as the vocals of Frank Sinatra singing My Way filled your ears. You closed your eyes and focused on the beautiful melody and his rich voice, your heartbeat returned to its resting rate. That was how you spent your night, letting the soothing music guide you to sleep before startling awake and the process repeated itself, over and over.

Once it reached morning, the other girls awoke and you all got ready for the exhausting day ahead. You tried to push yourself to the limit whilst training your quirk but you were tired, more tired than you've ever been before. Your body ached as you tried to create masses of Anoddium from your hands, you stumbled around and clutched your head. You shook away the need for sleep and marched on, figuratively. Before you knew it, the gruelling day of training was over and you were all making curry together as a class.

"How can you be bad with a knife?!" You laughed at Bakugo's retort to Uraraka's compliment as you chopped up peppers next to him.

"Calm down, Gordon Ramsay." You chastised teasingly. The blond whipped his head to you and began to shout at you, obviously not getting the reference.

"Huh?! Who the fuck is that?! If I find out he's lame, I'm gonna beat you up!" You burst out laughing at his response, which caused him to get even angrier. He continued to shout, you continued to laugh, that's just how you two were.

None of you knew of the ominous figures at the top of hill that looked down at your little camp, though. The ten of them ready to strike, two people on their capture list. By the end of this night, no laughter would fill the air anymore and no one would be able to smile lightly and carelessly. It was time for the villains' plan to be set in action and there would be only one winner at the end of this battle.

A/n - you know now I'm pretty sure they were at the camp for three days not two but... meh. Also, Sero does look the best in his costume, fight me.
