My Hero Acadamia Short Stories (Volume 1)

Pity Party: Part 9 (Bakugo)

I walked out of the classroom and before anyone could say anything, I rushed down the hallway and out of the school. I walked behind the school and entered the school's green house.

I liked coming here, not many people knew about it. Which meant that it was almost constantly quiet. I set my bag down and walked towards the back of the green house where there was a cement bench.

I sat down and leaned my head backwards. Looking up at the sky, I loved the silence the flowers held. Loud and extravagant with looks, and very loud with words as well. Each flower finding a new way to speak, without ever having lips or making a sound.

"What are you doing back here?" Someone asked and I lifted my head to see Bakugo walking towards me.

"What about you? Stalker." I shot back and went back to looking up at the sky through the glass roof.

"I wanted to check on you." He said and sat next to me. I could see out of the corner of my eye he was staring at me, but I didn't take my eyes away from the sky.

"I just wanted some silence." I told him.

"Here." He said and I felt him nudge me with his arm. I looked to see that he had brought me a sandwich. I took it from him, and held it in my hands while he started eating one for himself. I went back to sky gazing, and ignored the sandwich in my hands. "Please eat." He said. No, he begged.

I shot my head forward and looked at him. He looked sad, but he wasn't looking at me.

"Maybe later." I told him, and set the food down beside me.

"Promise me you'll eat more today." He begged me again, but I didn't answer him. "Y/n."

"Will you sky gaze with me?" I asked him, and looked over at him. He looked at me too, and looked a little annoyed. But I didn't care.

"Only if you eat." He told me. 

"Later." I told him, and looked back up at the clear ceiling.

"Then I'll sky gaze later." He told me, and continued to eat his sandwich. 

I didn't care if he sky gazed with me, or not. I didn't care if he talked to me, or not. I didn't care about anything right now. I felt numb.

But what I did know, was that I didn't want to be alone.

I felt something on my cheek and flinched. I looked over at Bakugo and he had the back of his fingers on my cheek. I looked at his hand, and there was water running down his finger tips. I was crying. 

I sat up and wiped my face dry. My eyes were sore, almost like I had been crying for hours. I sniffed, and took a deep breath before I looked down at the sandwich Bakugo brought me.

A few bites can't hurt.

I took it out of the wrapping and took a bite before looking up at the sky once again. I sighed into the silence, and closed my eyes.

"I reported that picture and the comments. They're going to be taken down." Bakugo said, but I didn't open my eyes. I felt too drained to do anything right now. "Not that it changes anything."

"I appreciate the gesture though." I told him, and I could feel myself starting to drift slightly.

"Then can I offer another gesture then?" Bakugo asked me.

"Hmm?" I hummed, and still didn't open my eyes. I felt something on my cheek again, but this time I could tell that it wasn't his fingers wiping tears away. I opened my eyes, and saw Bakugo was kissing my cheek. I moved back and away from him, and looked his face.

Once again, I saw that beautiful look on his face. And all I could think was that I'm probably the only person to get to see that look.

I leaned into him, and kissed him on his lips. And this time he was shocked. After a couple of moments, he became unfrozen. But it felt as if the whole world around us stopped.

I could feel myself crying again, and I needed to breath. So I pulled away and took in a breath but Bakugo immediately started kissing me again, not giving either of us time for air.

I felt his hands touch my body, moving around my waist and around the back of my neck, pulling me closer to him. His hand travelled up my back, just before he froze.

"I'm sorry." He said, and removed his hand from my back. But his hands, they were so big, they themselves made me feel small.

I grabbed his hands and put them back where they were, and buried my face in his neck. I hugged on him, and he sat still on the bench frozen.

"Is it okay to-?" He started to ask me, but I interrupted him by nodding. He placed his hands back on my body, pulling me a close as he could to him, and then some. And his arms reached all the way around my body, and then some.

If I was as huge as I thought I was, how would it be possible for him to hold me like this?

I sighed and laughed at the same time. For once, nothing mattered. 

My weight? Nothing.

My shoulders? Nothing.

My ugly features? Nothing.

Every little thing I've hated since I was a child? Meant absolutely nothing.

For the first time in forever, I felt small. And normal.

I felt happy about who I was in this moment.

I laughed some more, and I couldn't stop crying.

"What are you laughing at?" Bakugo asked me in my ear.

"I feel really happy." I told him, and I couldn't stop smiling.

"Can you make me happy too?" He asked me, and I pulled away from him to look at him. "Will you be my girlfriend?" I smiled, and nodded to him. Bakugo cupped my face, and used his thumbs to wipe away my tears. "Will you eat too?" I smiled a little wider, and I could feel my stomach growling. And for the first time in years, I wanted to answer it.

I reached behind me, and grabbed the sandwich again. And we sky gazed together in the green house.
