QUIRKY! (MHA x Reader)

S2 Part 17 - Young & Hungry

The stars were out by the time you finished training.

Much of that time you spent alone, running through the woods. The solitude was good for your head, especially after your argument with Aizawa. You weren't sorry about looking for answers, but you did feel guilty for challenging your teacher like that.

Thinking more clearly also brought a wave of embarrassment when you thought about Bakugo. Of course, you didn't regret it in the moment... the moment was hot.

But now?!

I never even got that far with Shinso... and I've been kissing him for a lot longer. AND we've been on one actual date!

When you stopped to think about it, you didn't know much about Bakugo, except that he was an excellent fighter and had a rage meter that went from zero to a hundred - no numbers in between.

He was also surprisingly good with physical affection, but it actually made perfect sense. It seemed to be his only way of communicating - either beating people up or kissing the crap out of them.

You also knew, now, he was developing feelings for you outside of wanted to fight you, which was romantic?

I guess?

Dinner preparations began back at camp, but this time you all had to cook for yourselves. Stations were set up for you to cook over fire and picnic benches for sitting. You showed up a little later than everyone else, tired and dirty, and Uraraka was kind enough to offer to save you a spot at the fire pits while you took a quick bath.

When you returned, everyone was still figuring out the knives and cutting boards. Except Shinso, who looked too comfortable with a knife. You watched carefully as his eyes gleamed when the blade sliced through various vegetables. You froze when his eyes looked right up at you.

"(Y/N)," your tall, icy hot hero approached you just in time, "How was your training?"

"Good! Lots of cardio... You? I couldn't help but notice you practicing more with your fire - I'm glad."

His eyebrows raised, "Oh. Yeah. I'm trying to take full advantage of my abilities. It was nice having a day to only focus on our quirks."

You had to agree. Besides Aizawa, you didn't have to worry about fighting against anyone all day. It was just you, the forest, your quirk, and meditation.

"I never thought I'd say a ten mile run was relaxing," you chuckled, "but compared to our usual lessons it was like a stroll on the beach."

Shoto smiled, "Need any help with that?"

He pointed to your cauldron of water sitting over an unlit pile of wood. You nodded, "That would be great, thanks."

He crouched down and stuck his hand into the pile. Warmth radiated from him and flames burned in his hand. After a moment, you had a healthy, glowing fire to start cooking with.

"I'm amazed that it doesn't burn your skin," you said.

"I still have to be careful," Shoto said, "Remember, it's only half of me."

"Will your other half burn?"

"I haven't tested it thoroughly, but I seem to be immune to my own fire."
