🎃☁️Katsuki x Reader: The Hunted

Halloween Special: For Shiniganshi

Description: Get robbed by a pirate, ride a lion, defeat a terrifying creature of the night. 

The cool evening air chilled your legs on the walk to the school building. 'Who's stupid idea was it anyway to wear a short skirt in this kind of weather?!' But then you remembered that it was almost required that girls wear cute semi-revealing outfits on Halloween. And it would all be worth it if it could secure you a dance with Katsuki. You smirked with new resolve, empty prop picnic basket bouncing in hand as you picked up your pace.

UA's Halloween mixer was an event that every student looked forward to during fall semester. Fun dance music, spooky themed decorations and food, all of your friends dressed up in costumes- this was bound to be a night to remember. Through the glittering cobweb-adorned doors you walked, hearing the Monster Mash play in the background. The music got louder when you entered the gymnasium, taking in everyone's costumes. All the girls had similar outfits to yours, tight fitting with plenty of leg showing... well... all except Momo.

"Love your outfits!" You walked up to her and Mina, smiling widely. They had coordinated so that Mina was a very-sexy Snow White and Momo was the haggard old witch.

"Thanks!" Mina exclaimed. "You too!"

"I uh... didn't get the memo that we were supposed to dress sexy..." Momo blushed at the ground, feeling out of place. You couldn't help but laugh at that. There was just something terribly funny about how her haggard appearance starkly contrasted her usual statuesque beauty.

"Well it's probably for the best. You would have made us all look bad by comparison." You admitted honestly.

"You flatter me... But I don't think that-"

"How precious!" Your attention was drawn outwards to the dance floor. Ochako and Midoriya had gone together as Dorothy and the cowardly lion. Finally, your gaze fell upon a familiar boy, some sort of animal ears nestled into his blonde hair. "I uh... think I'll go get some punch." You made the necessary generic excuse to leave and approached Bakugou at the snack bar.

"Hey, Katsuki. Nice ears." He turned around enough for you to see a tattered shirt, patches of fake fur poking out beneath it. "What are you?"

"A werewolf." He replied, handing you the glass of punch he just poured. It would have been polite, save for the way he violently shoved it into your hands.

"AW! Your outfits are so cute!" Uraraka and Midoriya stood behind you beaming. "Little red riding hood and the big bad wolf! What a great couple's costume!"

"Ah! Um..." You blushed at the ground. "We uh... didn't come together..." Katsuki eyed you curiously, thinking about how cute you looked when you were flustered. "I'm uh..." His scrutinizing gaze only unhinged you further. "Gonna go to the bathroom!" And with that, you dashed through the double doors, fanning your flaming cheeks. You sighed in front of the mirror, realizing you had missed your chance to ask Katsuki to dance. That was the whole reason you went over to the punch bowl in the first place. "...I'm an idiot."

Outside the window of the bathroom, you could see the twilight sun setting, flickering stars besprinkled across the orange and purple autumn sky. The harvest moon glowed full and red, a rare sight to behold this late in the month. Before your eyes, the last flicker of light disappeared over the horizon. A strange sort of green flash filled the darkness. Did you imagine it? It was hard to be sure, because all of the sudden the picnic basket in your hand felt heavy enough to nearly topple you over.

"What the..." An appetizing aroma filled your nostrils. Your jaw dropped when you opened your once-fake picnic basket to find a smorgasbord of hot delicious foods. "That... wasn't there before..." What kind of magic was this? You ran out to show it to your classmates but collided with someone. "AGH!" You were met with the lovely eyes of Todoroki, who looked vey dashing- and strangely realistic- as a pirate. Without a word, he snatched the basket from your hands and high-tailed it toward the exit. "Wha-" You were speechless. "Did you just plunder my picnic basket?! ...SHOUTO!" But he had already disappeared out the door.
