Red Love (Bakugou x Fem Reader)

Ch 4: Count on Me

Bakugou POV

"Fine lets go since you're so desperate." I huffed and followed her as she laughed. Her e/c eyes glowed brighter when she laughed. She pities me. We walked in silence to her house. We entered and she showed me a bathroom i could change in. I put on a black tank top, grey sweatpants, and sneakers. I entered the hallway and i saw her.

Her outfit showed more of her dark skin. It was so smooth and pretty. She was wearing black spandex shorts and a long sleeved dark blue t-shirt. Her (hair texture) h/c hair was pulled away from her face. She looked like she could conquer the world. I could feel my damn face heating up again.

"So what are we gonna do?" I looked down at her.

"Follow me. I have a gym with a door to the backyard. Both are pretty big so you can really let loose, quirk and all." She smiled as she led me into the gym. On one side there was standard workout equipment, dumbbells, barbells, resistance machines etc. On the other side was an open floor with all sorts of kick bags and dummies and targets of varying sizes. Out the door was the backyard split into 4 parts. There was a small lake, an open grass area, an area with charcoal,  and an area covered in rocks. I turned to l/n.

"Can you throw rocks at me? I wanna blow something up." I demonstrated with mini explosions in my hands. She smiled and nodded and ran outside. That smile was gonna be the end of me. I followed her and we began. 

Y/n POV

He seemed to calm down after a few rounds of me chucking rocks at him. He was actually helping because he was creating smaller rocks for the rock section. I braced my self to throw another when i saw Bakugou had stopped attacking. I dropped the rock and walked towards him.

"That damn nerd...making a fool outta me.." His fist clenched tightly at his sides. I approached him and grabbed each of his hands in one of mine. I uncurled his fist and massaged his palms. He inhaled and exhaled. I sighed.

"Let's go inside. I'll make you something to eat." He nodded and let me guide him back inside. I sat him down in the living room and gave him the remote. A few seconds later i heard the tv playing. I went to the kitchen and i made spicy ramen. I plated it so well Gordon Ramsey would be proud. I brought it over to the living room and sat next to Bakugou. He took his plate and started eating. His eyes opened in surprise.

"It's good..," he said quietly. I smiled at him and we continued eating. After we finished eating, i cleared the dishes and came back to see Bakugou sitting with his head between his knees. He was breathing shakily. I ran over to him and sat down next to him. I patted his back and murmured things to try and control his breathing. When his heart rate slowed down he spoke.

"I was always the best...And then damn Deku comes along with a powerful quirk and he just...blows me out of the fucking water." He looked up at me and he had tears in his eyes again. I kept my hand on his back.

"Midoriya is no where near your level of quirk prowess. Yes his borrowed quirk is powerful objectively, but he still cant control it. And even if he gets really good with it, it doesn't erase all the progress you've made. You were and still are a prodigy by anyone's standards. And you've still got so much more you can achieve and make your self even better." I'd never talked like this to anyone. Shoto never looked for my reassurance like this, and i never had other friends. I only flattered to make Uncle happy. But this time i really meant it. His eyes met mine and we stared at each other for what felt like hours. Then he hugged me and put his head on my chest. It honestly surprised me, but i hugged back and stroked his hair. 

"It's totally ok to feel this way. And if you ever need me, count on me to be there ok?" He let go of me and sat up.

Bakugou POV

"Yea whatever dumbass. Don't tell anyone about any of this." She smiled that smile that made her look like an angel. I cant believe she did this for me. Maybe she cares about me too? What the hell wait i dont care about her. I stood up and went to go grab my bag. She followed me and watched as i put on my shoes. I was about to leave when i turned around.

"...thank you. I owe you one." She giggled and shook her head.

"Dont worry about it. And you're welcome to train or blow off steam here any time you want." I blushed and turned to leave. I paused, took a breath, and turned around and kissed her on her right cheek, under the scar. Then i closed the door and left.

I ran home and entered my house. Katsuki Bakugou! You did not just do that. You dont even know how you feel about her.  

"If your face is that red, then you love her idiot." My mom was standing in front of me.

"Shut up you damn hag. You dont know anything." My face got even redder. Mom laughed.

"I'm your mother i know everything. Just make sure you tell her before its too late, and use protection sweetie." She ruffled my hair and i smacked her hand away. She walked away laughing. I stomped upstairs and took an angry shower, and angrily brushed my teeth. I got in bed and turned off my phone.

I couldn't sleep tho. I kept thinking about her. Did I really love her? And more importantly did she love me back? And most importantly, what the hell do i do about it?!?
