I think to myself as I tap my pencil on my notebook.
Ever since that night after our friends found out about my real appearance a little over a week ago, he's been really off around me.
That night was strange, for sure. He was soft and gentle, and really kind to me. It was Bakugo in a parallel universe to be sure. He even held me in his lap and hugged me to his chest... weird behavior honestly.
I felt safe though, I felt really safe. I'm surprised he gets nightmares about his kidnapping, but I mean if anyone was kidnapped, it would only be natural to be afraid.
I find myself blushing remembering that night so often. My mind often drifts off in class, just like now, thinking about it.
I always wonder why he felt a sudden need to pull me onto his lap, but I can never find the answer. I mean there is one, but it's obviously not true.
Bakugo Katsuki liking me romantically, is the craziest thought I've ever had. It's not possible since he doesn't like people in general, and he's too focused on becoming number one to even consider having time for a relationship.
I decide to tune out my thoughts and to focus on Aizawa's lecture. Ten minutes later, the bell rings and I head to lunch. I reach the lunchroom and I sit down with Momo and Jiro as usual.
I open my bento, and begin to eat. In the corner of my eye I see Mina and Sero laughing their asses off about something stupid, and Bakugo looking like he wants to die from how loud they are.
I laugh under my breath at the irony that he's upset they're being mad, like he's never been loud and annoying before. It's his subtle cluelessness, that I've come to find a little charming.
Don't get me wrong, he's no Prince Charming, but he has his good sides. He's been trustworthy with my secret, and I've seen him become kinder and kinder towards me and I'm still shocked with every little nice thing he does for me.
I never pictured to be so caring and gentle behind closed doors. He doesn't need to be nice to me or anything, but he still kind of is. He stills calls me dumbass, but it doesn't really feel like an insult as much anymore.
I feel someone come up behind me and I see Kaminari. I look at him confused, but smile anyway, since he's sort of my friend.
"I seem to have lost my phone number. Can I have yours?" He says to me and I pause... did he really just flirt with me.
I look back at Momo and Jiro and they look at me like it's normal. Sure it's normal, but it's not for me. He never talked to me before I started doing group tutoring sessions with them.
"Um no?" I reply and he looks slightly defeated.
He heads over to Bakugo's table and quickly discusses something with them before coming straight back. Oh no... I wonder how many times he's going to do this.
"I'm good at algebra; I can replace your X and you wouldn't need to figure out Y." He tells me confidently and I try to figure out what that even means.
"Sorry Kaminari, I'm not good at math." I tell him honestly, and Jiro starts laughing super hard before returning back to focusing on Momo.
"Wait, I have another one! Are you a campfire? Because you're super hot and I want s'more." Kaminari tries again and I blush at the compliment.
"I GOT HER TO BLUSH! YES!" Kaminari yells in delight and I try to signal him to quiet down, honestly I think if anyone said that, I'd be blushing. I don't get compliments usually.
He sits down next to me and wraps his arm around me and I immediately tense. I look at Momo and Jiro, but they seem too wrapped up in whatever they're talking about to notice my uncomfortable state.
"You're so cute when you're shy~" Kaminari continues to flirt and coo at me but I grow more and more uncomfortable.
I don't like it when most people are this close to me... but that just makes me question why I was okay with being so close to Bakugo not too long ago.
"BACK OFF DUNCE FACE!" I hear Bakugo yell as he pulls me up and away from Kaminari.
He's now carrying me over his shoulder, which seems a little overboard, and he's lucky I'm wearing shorts under my skirt, or else I would've murdered him out of embarrassment.
"Woah Bakugo! Calm down she seems to like me!" Kaminari tries to reason and I roll my eyes. He can't see it, so I don't care.
"You're fucking awful at reading people, she seemed like she wanted to die on the spot." Bakugo retorts and I realize that he observes people pretty well.
He walks out of the lunchroom with me still on his shoulder, for whatever reason, but I comply since I don't want to argue with Bakugo. He sets me down, in a secluded hallway behind a vending machine.
I barely catch my breath for a second before he pins me in between his arms, against the wall. I stare at him confused, but not afraid. I don't think Bakugo would hurt me, unless it was in training.
"Bakugo?" I say quietly to grab his attention and he looks up and his eyes are very hard to read right now.
"Don't let idiots touch you..." He says under his breath and I try to understand what he means by that.
"I get uncomfortable a lot when people touch me and he didn't mean harm, it's not a big deal-" My words are stopped when my breath hitches, feeling Bakugo's hands hold my waist.
"Are you uncomfortable by me?" He asks me genuinely and I pause for a moment.
Am I? No... I'm not. I wouldn't have let most people thrown me over their shoulder or hold me on their lap. I didn't really think too much of it when he just pinned me, I'm comfortable around him.
"No, not at all. You don't make me feel scared or anxious so... I don't mind your more affectionate side." I smile at him with a light tint of pink across my cheeks.
"I'm not scared of you either." He mutters under his breath staring right into my eyes.
"Bakugo... I think that's the first time I've heard someone say something like that besides my dad..." I tell him with a bittersweet smile and he returns it with a small grin.
"You know, you're pretty sweet secretly... I just wish more people knew that." I say to him and he looks at me slightly surprised.
"I'm not here to be nice, I'm here to learn how to become the number one hero." He explains briefly and I look at him confused.
"Then why are you so nice to me?" I question him curiously and his face turns beet red.
"Because you don't suck entirely." Bakugo responds and I laugh at his reply.
Only Bakugo would reply like that. He literally has insults for all his friends nicknames, he's definitely built different.
"Thanks for the compliment." I joke and he snorts under his breath.
"You're the only idiot I want to be around, and can tolerate." He tells me and I immediately heat up and *POOF*... I switched back to normal... a-fucking-gain.
'The only idiot I want to be around' wow. I- I'm not sure what to think other than he really likes my company. To the point where he's touches me casually, he's super soft towards me, and is respectful to me.
All things Bakugo isn't known for, but is how he acts towards me... well in private. He doesn't like to act like we're good friends in front of a lot of people.
"Did that embarrass you?" Bakugo snickers and I try to shove him away gently while he keeps a firm grip on my waist and ends up pulling me closer.
"I'm so fucking embarrassed..." I mutter under my breath.
"(Y/n), wrap your hands around my neck, now." Bakugo demands of me and I comply, as he pushes his body weight against me against the wall.
I hear footsteps coming down the hallway besides us and I feel my heartbeat increase, in fear of getting caught in a weird position and looking like this.
The footsteps disappear eventually and I sigh in relief as Bakugo backs away... but only a small amount.
"Good thinking, thanks." I tell him and he only hums in response.
"I should probably cover up again, just in case..." I mumble to myself and I see Bakugo furrow his brows.
"Don't." Bakugo simply states and I stare at him a little puzzled.
"Wouldn't it be easier to just come clean to everyone about how you look?" He tries to reason with me and I sigh in frustration.
"It's not that simple. I know Kaminari, Kirishima, Sero, and Mina were all accepting, but the world isn't full of good people like them." I tell him and he nods a little before smirking.
"Then don't worry about some shitty extra's opinion on how you look. Just prove them wrong by being a great hero." Bakugo states and I look up at him surprised by his words.
"It kind of sounds like you're trying to encourage me." I laugh out and he stares at me completely serious.
"Oh so you were trying to..." I whisper quietly and he nods his head slighlty.
"Yeah, and to be fair you look much better without the boring disguise." Bakugo tells me honestly and I blush intensely at his words.
"Are you blushing?" Bakugo smirks at me and I shake my head 'no' while trying to calm down my extremely red face.
He tilts up my chin with one of his hands, and I feel butterflies in my stomach staring into his crimson eyes.
I'm luckily saved by the end of lunch bell and I sigh slightly in relief.
"I'll see ya in class." Bakugo says and I was about to respond before I felt a soft kiss to my left cheek. I look up and he's gone... since when could he teleport?
Wow... how the hell do I respond to something like that?
a/n: uhhh hola? idk. anyways thank for reading :)
