ALERT [ BAKUGO X OC/READER]

Creeper

Crystal was sleeping on one of the two beds when the speakers announced, "We will be serving dinner in the dining car from now until 11 pm. Room service is also available."

Bakugo approached her bed to wake her up. But Crystal would do that herself.... "Food!" Crystal sat straight up on her bed, eyes wide and mouth watering like she had not just been sound asleep seconds ago.

Bakugo jumped but he recovered. "Room service?"

"I just want to eat something," Crystal said, hungry.

Crystal and Bakugo sat upstairs with their feet in the hollow beneath the table as he passed her the menu.

"I think I'll be getting the gindara teriyaki... or should I get the okonomiyaki.. Gah! I can't choose!" She whined.

"Just take the okonomiyaki. Fancy-ass places don't serve big meals so that's the wiser choice."

"Okay mr. Brain Juice..." She kicked his shin below the table mischievously, expecting him to do the same. But he didn't. Weird. "How about you, Kacchan? What are you getting?"

"I'm getting the tan tan ramen."

"That's so typical of you. If you were a dish, that's what you would be."

"Random but I'm curious. Why?"

"Well, you're always angry and hanging out around you isn't exactly pleasing... But well, something about you is pleasant. I don't know what it is... The same way people usually get stomach aches after eating tan tan ramen, but they keep coming back for more. Otherwise, I wouldn't be so attached to you.... Also, you a snacc." Crystal did her best to wink, squinting instead.

Bakugo blushed, "You- What are you saying, idiot?"

"What?! Don't act like you don't know you're hot. And don't act like you don't know I think you're hot.

Slowly Bakugo's shyness slowly developed into arrogance, sprouting a wide, proud grin on his face. "That's right!"

"Oh, God," Crystal sighed.

When the food came, they sat across from each other. It was silent except for Bakugo's loud slurping. Crystal could only stare in wonder as he ate up the spicy dish.

"Hey. " Bakugo interrupted the silence.

Crystal crunched on her okonomiyaki, "Hey?"

"Y'know if you want to talk about it.,."

"Talk about what?" Crystal was not liking the shift in atmosphere....

"Whatever happened that left you so upset."

Crystal's hand stopped mid-reach to her Italian strawberry soda for a second, before she took it in her hand and chugged some down.

"Well... My mom confirmed what I thought. So...that's that. And it's okay. I've had enough time to process it. Y'know how it is. Not like we can do anything about it, can we?" Crystal laid eyes on both their dishes, each almost finished, "Do you wanna get dessert?"

Bakugo didn't know what to do -- what to say to make her feel better.

Crystal saw the concern in his face. She knew how difficult it was for him to be gentle, yet he did it all the time for her. She bent over and gave him a light peck on the cheek, "You make it okay. Thank you, for the millionth time today."

"I know what you want for dessert so lemme just order for both of us," she got up to do so but Bakugo clasped his hand around her arm.

All that ran through his mind was a repeated loop of both "Say it you coward" and "Don't be a dick, don't do this now."

"I..." Was all that left his mouth.

"What? What are you trying to say that you're so nervous about? You look like you want to confess ?" She joked as she chuckled...

Bakugo froze. His widened eyes screaming in panic at hers. When she noticed his expression, her jaw went slack. She never thought she would have hit the nail on the head. "Hu-huh?"

Then a glint of light brought her attention to the window. The city and its nightlife whooshed past in blurs of color, and against that was a single silhouette against the glass, seemingly on the wall above Bakugo and Crystal.

As soon as Bakugo saw the alert in her eyes, he followed her gaze to their reflections. Before the two could even turn to see the owner of the silhouette, it striked first.
