13: Deku

I woke up to a surprising scene. Once my eyes opened, I registered someone's hand on my waist, with the other on my shoulder, and a slight pressure on my head. I remembered what had happened last night. Oh. I was in Bakugo's room...lying in his bed...while he cuddled with me. Knowing I wouldn't be able to move without waking him up, I stayed where I was, staring out the balcony door. Until, finally, Bakugo woke up. I waited until he had removed his head from on top of mine, and turned over to look at him, smiling softly. "Morning." He looked at me, his expression actually soft for once, and I nearly melted. I'd never seen him look so soft! It was adorable! Bakugo smirked, and played with my hair, then sat up to kiss me on the forehead. I brushed a little, but settled for taking his hand, and then realizing something. "Wait-how are we going to get out of here without anyone else seeing?" Bakugo raised an eyebrow at me. "I don't know. But why did you ask that?" "I'm, uh, not ready to tell everyone about this new development. That we're dating-I mean, uh, we are dating, aren't we? Sorry for assuming, but-" He silenced me with a kiss on the lips. "Idiot, of course we're dating. I mean, I didn't confess for nothing." I chuckled as he pulled back, and looked at the time on his phone, then said, "Its still too early for anyone else to be awake. He'll, it's too early for me."

After I closed the door to Bakugo's room, I snuck back into mine, and plopped down on my bed, smiling to myself. Sometime in the morning, I ended up falling asleep again, only to wake in a cold sweat from a nightmare, and have Balckwhip break out of my hand. But I took a breath, reminded myself it wasn't real, and willed Blackwhip to come back before getting ready for the day.
