Bombshell [ Bakugo x Reader ]

Chapter Sixteen

"Weee!" 

"Why are you doing that?" Katsuki's dull voice asked as he stared at me. I could tell he was judging me, but I didn't care. I was having fun.

I slid down the slide, face first and on my belly, landing on the ground at his feet. The feeling of being a small child made me happy, and I couldn't help but laugh. Especially at how he was looking at me.

Katsuki and I ended up stopping at a small playground. Whether or not he actually intended to be here, I wasn't sure. But once I saw the swing set and slides, there was no stopping me. I had dashed across the street before he could even retaliate.

Now he watched me from the bench like a bored parent. Watching my every move just in case I would fall or hit my head.

It wasn't until I had slid down the slide did he get up and walk towards me. I looked up at him, looking into his eyes once more, smiling and holding my hands out. "Help." I said like a helpless child.

He groaned, reaching down and grabbing me by my hands and pulling me up to my feet. I was still laughing, enjoying myself when he rolled his eyes. 

Finally calming down, I tilted my head to the side. I was still wondering why we were out here, in the middle of the night. The only street lights were down the street, and the moon and stars above us. So it was pretty dark for where we were at.

Shaking his head, he let out a sigh and walked over to the swings, plopping down on one. I followed him, sitting beside him and swinging myself lightly.

"Why did you say that?" He asked.

"Hmmm?" I looked over at him, acting confused. But I knew exactly what he was asking.

"You told me not to fall in love with you. Not that I fucking would." He looked to his other side, facing away from me.

How do I explain my situation to him? I looked down at the ground, brows furrowed as I thought. I could be honest, but, I doubt he would believe me. Plus, everything was supposed to be secret. I wasn't supposed to get close to anyone, including making any friends. I was supposed to just do my job, and then I could finally go home. I could see my dad again, and my friends.

"Well?" He looked back at me, sounding impatient.

"I can't.. Really tell you. At least, not right now." I sighed softly and looked up at the stars, continuing to swing on the swing set. "It's.. It's all complicated."

"What the fuck kind of stupid answer is that?" He angrily asked. 

I looked over at him. My soft (H/C) shining against the stars, and my (E/C) almost glowed against the moon. Katsuki's anger almost disappeared, noticing my features in the night. 

"It's a long story. There's just.. Some things I'm not ready to share about myself just yet, Katsuki. Maybe, just maybe, one day I can tell you everything." I told him. I gave him an apologetic smile, clenching to the chain of the swing.

He sighed, closing his eyes and his shoulders dropped slightly. Kicking at the dirt, still a bit frustrated but understanding. "Fine. I won't press it anymore." He growled lowly. I chuckled. "Thank you." I said as I stood up.

"We should probably head back." I told him as he huffed, not really wanting to go home.

Regardless, he stood up and followed closely behind me as I lead us back to our houses. We both walked in silence. Katsuki was deep in thought, and I was just enjoying the night air and stars.

After some time, we made it back. "Thanks for today." I told him, smiling softly at him. He shrugged, turning away from me. I could tell he wasn't too satisfied with my responses right now, but he would just have to deal with it for the moment.

"Hey, Hot Head." I heard him call just as I was about to turn around and leave for Midnight's house.

"Yes?" I asked him, raising a brow.

"Let's hang out tomorrow. No extras." He said before walking towards his house, hands buried into his pockets.

I smiled at him. "Sure." I whispered as I walked towards Midnight's. I couldn't help but feel a small tinge of warmth in my chest. Was this happiness? I didn't think it was love. Regardless, I found myself feeling excited and nervous for tomorrow. Just us, alone, and together.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I wanted to apologize now for the small wait, and there may be another one after this. Maybe just a few days, I'm not sure.

My dad passed away on Monday, and tomorrow is the funeral.Because I'm his oldest kid and he was single/never been married, I had to do all the decision making and planning and it's semi taken a toll on me.However, writing has helped me a lot during this time. Even though this chapter is super short, it's pretty much taken me all day to write this. But it has helped a ton with everything going on.
That being said, I am sorry this chapter is so short. x-xTomorrow is the funeral, so I wanna take a few days after that before posting again.I do apologize. I promise I'll be back soon.
