Save My Soul : Bakugou x Reader

29 - Friends

"Well I think that's all for now." The giant, you now knew as Hayashi, wiped off his blood covered hands on your back and sauntered out of the room. You weakly flipped him off before flopping back into the puddle of your own crimson blood. You coughed up some more and closed your eyes. You had no idea how long you had been down there. There were no clocks, no natural light and you were unconscious for quite a bit of it but you guessed you had been there for three days at least. During your time here you had been strangled, cut, beaten and had some of your fingers literally ripped off. You could feel your skin melding back together but it was agonisingly slow. You had been starved and barely had a drop to drink, only the bare minimum to survive, because of this your healing abilities were slow and using up all of your energy.

You suddenly heard a commotion from above something powerful had gone off you guessed, since it completely blew the door off it's hinges. You recognised the opportunity and started to claw your way to the opening. It was excruciating to feel your open wounds scrape against the rough and less than sanitary floor but all you were focused on was escape. Inch by inch your hands dragged you forward, loud crashes sounding above accompanied by the distinct bangs of explosions. 'Bakugo? Please let it be Bakugo.' You lifted yourself to your feet with the use of the banister at the stairs that were just outside the door. You climbed the staircase cringing with each step, it felt as if blades were shooting through your legs. Once you reached the top and the banister ended, you collapsed to your hands and knees.

You looked up and the building was completely ruined and the surrounding area had also been flattened. It was nighttime, the moon hung high in the sky but your eyes were glued to one distant figure. Bakugo Katsuki. He was surrounded by the league and was fighting them off, looking for a chance to escape. The sight of the explosive boy gave you just enough energy to clamber back to your bloodied feet and haphazardly rush to him. You reached your arm out towards him as a large spiked mountain of ice appeared ahead of you. You gasped as you watched Iida, Kirishima and Midoriya run off the edge and soar across the sky. Before you could react or call out to anyone, Bakugo detonated a huge explosion which sent both you and him flying. He flew into the sky where as you crashed into what was left of the wall of the building next door. You let out a pained grunt as you crumpled to the floor pathetically.

"(Y:N)!" You managed to crane your head to Shoto who was stood next to Yaoyorozu and had called your name. You grinned at them weakly and tried to stand up but collapsed once again but this time the peppermint boy caught you. He wasted no time in scooping you up into his arms bridal style and signalling to Yaoyorozu for you guys to get going. As he carried you through the streets you wrapped your arms around his neck, rested your head against his shoulder and stared up at his handsome features. He looked down at you in concern, "Where are you hurt? What did they do to you?"

"Oh you know, just some good old torture. I'm hurt everywhere by the way but I'll be fine once I get some food in me." You coughed after rasping out a snarky remark, you didn't want them to worry and you definitely didn't want their pity. How could they not worry though? Shoto had never seen you look so frail, your clothes were drenched in blood and you were covered in scrapes and cuts, some quite deep. You drifted in and out of consciousness as you were carried to a group of paramedics. They tried to get you to lay down on a stretcher but you refused, someone else might need it. You kept telling them all you needed was some quick energy converting food and drinks like carbs and an energy drink. Shoto, knowing how stubborn you could be, sat you on a bench and went to go to the nearest vending machine but was stopped by your grip on his sleeve.

"Please don't leave me." You muttered quietly looking down at your shoes. His eyes widened before he nodded and sat next to you. He wrapped an arm around you and brought you into his chest, he had never seen you in such a vulnerable state. He felt a strong urge to protect you against anything, all he wanted was for you to be happy. You both stayed in that position until Yaoyorozu who had gone to fetch food instead, returned. She handed you some energy bars and a drink, thanked her and practically inhaled all of it. You were starving and you needed the energy desperately, it should kick in in about fifteen minutes. You leant back onto Shoto's shoulder and nuzzled even closer, he was so warm.

"Todoroki! Yaoyorozu!" Midoriya called out to the pair as he approached them, along with Bakugo, Kirishima and Iida. You lifted your head in the direction of his voice and saw the quartet. About half an hour had passed and some astonishing revelations had come to light regarding All Might, this evening was turning out to be quite eventful. You got up hurriedly as your eyes met with concerned red ones, you stumbled to the ash blond and flung your arms atop of his shoulders and buried your head in the crook of his neck.

"You're ok." You breathed out as his arms encased you around your waist and pulled you closer. You inhaled his caramel scent and relaxed into his hold, his well-being was the only thing that had been on your mind the entire time in the basement.

"Of course I'm fine, dumbass." Despite his harsh words he only drew you closer, he was so relieved that you were safe. He had thought that you'd have been dead by now for sure but you were stronger than that and he was thankful for that fact. He let you go and you laid back down on the bench with your head resting on Shoto's lap. You closed your eyes and listened to the chatter of your friends... friends? Could you actually consider these hero wannabes your friends? They were discussing your injuries and Bakugo sounded seconds from blowing up Shoto for not making you be treated by the paramedics. Yeah, you thought that it was safe to finally call these idiots your friends.
