A Spy Among Them (ShinsoxBakugoxDabixAizawaxReader and more..)

Ch. 37 An Apology?

The next few days passed in a fog of sadness and regret. Most of my time was spent avoiding Shinso, which wasn't hard because it felt like he was avoiding me as well. I showed up just on time for school and then speed walked home as soon as the day ended. I ate my lunch outside by myself, hoping that I could blend in behind the bushes in the courtyard and everything that happened could be forgotten as quickly as possible.

Even though I couldn't forget...

To make matters worse, others obviously had picked up on the fact that something had occurred between us. Even Aizawa gave me a stern look one morning before class, stopping me to tell me that, "Whatever happened, you need to fix it."

About a week of my self-imposed isolation had passed. I still didn't feel like eating, so one day at lunch I was simply staring at my food, wondering if I was going to eat it. I had just decided on "no" when I saw Katsuki heading right for me.

Once he reached me, he grabbed my arm, roughly pulling me to my feet. "That's it. I've had enough of this."

"Huh?" was all I could say as I tried to collect my things.

"Man up. You and purple hair broke up. Time to move on."

"We weren't together..."

"Wow. You really are a moron."

"Katsuki, I can't with this today, okay? Just leave me alone," I said, trying to sit back down.

"Hell no."

"Please?"

"Why? So I can watch you mope around for a few more weeks? Forget that. I'm over it. You're coming with me." He started pulling me inside, and all I could do was follow him.

He dragged me over to where Shinso was eating lunch by himself. Ever since that day in the library, pretty much everyone had been avoiding both of us.

"Stand up, loser," Katsuki said to Shinso when we got to the table.

Shinso just stared at him, not moving from his seat.

"Fine, don't. Whatever. Here she is," Katsuki said, pulling me over and shoving me down onto the bench at the table by my shoulders. "Now make up. Apologize to her or whatever you have to do so I can stop watching this moron cry over you."

Shinso looked from me to Katsuki and back again. "This has nothing to do with you," he said with a politeness laced with venom. "So I'd like you to please mind your own business."

"Like I care. I ought to break your face just for making her sad, but I won't. You're not even worth it."

"Wow, what a hero," Shinso shot back.

I could hear Katsuki emit a low growl.

"Katsuki," I pleaded, growing more and more embarrassed. "He didn't do anything wrong. This is all me."

"I don't give a shit. I don't know the story and don't care. All I know is that you haven't smiled in days and this asshole had something to do with it."

Shinso finally stood up at that. "The story? The story is that we had sex and then she ended things. That's it. Happy now?"

"Shinso!" I yelled, appalled that he was telling him that.

Katsuki only laughed. "Ha! You caught feelings and she didn't, get over it and stop making her miserable."

"Like you know anything about her feelings," Shinso said, calm as ever.

"Well, you certainly don't," Katsuki barked back. 

"Stop this!" I interrupted them. "Shinso, I'm sorry, I didn't know he was going to do this. Katsuki, I appreciate the idea, but this is really between us and it's just going to take some time. This is getting out of hand."

"Don't apologize to him."

"We're walking away now. I'm sorry again, Shinso," I said, pulling Katsuki away with me.

"I hate that guy," Katsuki grumbled as we walked out of the lunch room.

"No one said you have to like him."

"Or you either."

I shrugged.

As we walked, I could feel his level of frustration growing with each step. We had made it as far as the stairs when he suddenly stopped walking.

"Come here."

"What are you – "

With his hands on my waist, he pushed me under the stairwell, up against the wall. Instantly, Katsuki's mouth pressed against mine, and after a moment of surprise, I felt all the tension and sadness I'd built up inside slowly start to melt. My shoulders relaxed with his kiss; tension was leaving my body as I felt his hands feeling down my side and arms. My arms wrapped around his neck, pulling him closer, as I softened, knowing that no one would know we were here; everyone was at lunch and this spot was hidden anyway.

I grabbed his face to kiss him harder as he pushed me back against the wall, pulling up one of my legs with his hand. More than anything, I was so tired of feeling sad, I wanted to feel... anything else. And right now I felt desire, lust, passion. Katsuki's warm, hungry kisses somehow felt right. 

I wasn't thinking about the future.

I was only thinking about his touch, his kiss. Our bodies pressed together.

I don't even know how much time passed. I didn't want him to stop.

Then I heard the bell.

I pushed him back, gently separating us. "If we don't stop now, we'll be late for class."

"If we don't stop now, I don't think you'll be able to stop me at all."

I chuckled.

"There it is," he purred in my ear, still gripping my thigh with one hand. "That's the smile I've been waiting for."

Meanwhile, at the League of Villains hide out...

"So you're telling me that you had the girl, but let her go?"

Dabi shrugged as he stared at Shigaraki. "The timing wasn't right. I was having too much fun playing with her."

Shigaraki put his feet up on the table in front of him and sighed. "I'm starting to think that we scrap this plan and just attack outright again. Who needs a hostage when we can just destroy it all?"

"Been there, done that," Dabi said back. "Time for something new."

"You didn't enjoy just burning it all to the ground? Endeavor's office in flames was such a sight for sore eyes. I could watch those heroes running around through the flames, desperately trying to save people, all day."

Dabi shook his head. "But the pleasure of burning it to the ground feels even better when you know they've been destroyed emotionally as well."

"Whatever," said Shigaraki, standing up and putting on his red coat. "They're all still dead in the end. Besides, how do we know Endeavor would even care if we took her?"

"Shiggy, you should have seen her!" Toga exclaimed. "She is so pretty! And she'd look even better with a few cuts here and there. She'd make such a fun toy around here," she said beaming. "Can we please get her??"

"My sources," said Dabi, "tell me that Endeavor would care, very much, if we took his toy away."

"Fine," Shigaraki said, walking out of the room. "Then you're responsible for this toy, Dabi. But if this plan doesn't work, you're the one who is going to kill her."
