You Make Me Strong || DEKU X READER

40- Late

Heyyyy remember when I said I'd update soon? Well, here's the tea. I had a nasty ass summer cold that wouldn't go away Bleh. My wisdom teeth came and are infected so they're being removed tomorrow and depression got the best of me but I'm trying I really am and I'm so sorry but here I am with an update and hopefully more to follow. Also anyone seen the new season yet? Me neither SO HUSH NO SPOILERS IF U HAVE SEEN IT. ANYWAYS ONTO THE SHOOWWWW

There was a heavy thud from beneath me making me force my eyes open and let out a heavy sigh of relief once I realized we were on the ground again. We were so late Kacchan decided to use his explosions too propel us to school and to say the lease, I am not happy. I pushed myself out of his tight embrace and dusted myself off, grumbling as I dusted off pieces of dirt off my uniform.
              "Your welcome." He rolls his eyes at my behavior and begins to make his way into the school.
            "Thank you for making me late, for flashing half the city my underwear, and getting me filthy!" I snap at him as I follow him into the school.
              "I MADE YOU LATE?!? THAT WAS YOUR FAULT DUMBASS!!!" He yells at me angrily. I use my bag to slap him in the back of the head.
             "Will you shut up!!?!? It's bad enough we're late, I don't need another reason to get in trouble!" I shout at him in a hushed tone. He lets out his signature "tch" as he rolls his eyes. We both remained silent as we made our way to home room.

        As we approached the large door, a pit in my stomach grew and I felt as if I was going to be sick.
          "You think he's going to be mad?" I ask Kacchan. I look up at him and honestly I've never seen Kacchan look like that before. HE WAS SCARED TOO?!?! He doesn't respond, instead he just slides open the door, revealing us to the entire class.

       They all stares at us as we stood there. Before I could say anything, I could feel Kacchan's large hand slap my back, forcing me to stumble forward into the classroom. My face began to heat up, my body trembled as I stood before the class and......Mr. Aizawa. I couldn't even look him in the eyes, I just stared at the floor and tried my best not to hurl right there.
         "You're both late. And disrupting my class." Mr. Aizawa says, breaking the awkward silence since the door opened. I took a deep breath as I bent my body forward into a bowing position. But before I could say anything, a voice from behind me spoke.
          "It was my fault, I thought I found a short cut to the school. We ended up getting lost. It won't happen again." Kacchan lies. I stand up straight and look behind me to see Kacchan wasn't even looking at me, his head was turned to the side and he had his usual mean glare on. The tough front he put up for everyone else. The Katsuki Bakugou. Not Kacchan. But I couldn't help but smile at the fact that he covered for us when he didn't have to.
"Just take your seats and don't let it happen again...or else." He grumbles In disapproval before turning away from us. We nod and quickly take our seats silently. I glance over at Izuku who had been staring at me the entire time in concern. I flash him a tight smile before focusing back on the board. I thought I'd feel embarrassed coming into class like that but with Kacchan by my side....I was okay.

Once the bell finally rang for class, I waited up for Ochako to finish up a paper before we headed down the halls to the cafeteria.
"I can't believe you crashed with Bakugou. He seems like the last person I'd be relaxed with." She comments from besides me.
"I know right, we must've just been so exhausted from training that day. Speaking of, how's studying and all that going for the exam next week?" I ask her. We enter the cafeteria and find a spot in line to grab our food among the crowd of other students.
"It sucks! The more I study the stupider I feel." She whines. I nudge her shoulder and shake my head at her.
"Come on Ochako, don't be like that. You're probably just over thinking it. It's probably because you're spending too much time with Izuku, soon you'll start mumbling like him." I joke with her. Her cheeks flush a bright pink and she stares down at her tray in front of her.
"Yeah." She chuckles awkwardly. My stomach and chest tighten but I push away the feeling and give her a bright smile.
"If you want I can help you study or train. Maybe we can hang out this weekend." I suggest.
"Really?! That would be great!"

Once we finally got our food we sat with Todoroki, Iida and Izuku at our usual spot. Once I sat down I got a lecture from our class president the one and only Iida. I looked over at Todoroki who just shrugged and proceeded to eat his soba while Izuku attempted to keep Iida calm. I just sat there and listened, knowing this was going to happen no matter what. I couldn't help but smile as he did it though. He moved so stiffly with his robot arms.

Okay this chapter is super duper short because I want to move into training and then the exams so we can get to the best arc aka the camp one. I'm going to update ASAP but since I'm getting my wisdom teeth removed and I'll be drugged up it might be a bit. But hopefully I can write enough to keep y'all occupied for a bit. This was just a filler and to let y'all know I wasn't dead
