15 Chapter Fifteen

Bakugo groaned as he walked back to the dorms . Sun had set and the stars had come out . As usual he was busy practising for hours for the festival . So he felt huge relief to see the entrance to the dorms . He opened the door , everyone was here before him , so they were busy eating and talking . But Bakugo noticed that a particular seat was empty . He wanted to talk to her about what happened today with her fight with Aiziwa . So he decided to go to her room to look for her . He knocked on the door loudly " Hey , extra . Open up , I wanna talk " he said but he got no response . He knocked loudly again but didn't get anything in return . So he tried to open the door and succeeded , katsumi had forgotten to lock it . The room was dark , no light coming in anywhere . But Bakugo could make out a few shapes . He could see her bed and that someone was laying on it . After a while his eyes got adjusted to dark . He walked in and closed the door behind him . He could see who it was laying on the bed . The exact person he was looking for . He put the lamp on in the corner of the room . The extra moved a bit but didn't wake up . Only then did he notice that she wasn't wearing any pants . His face got hot and turned blood red . He looked away and covered his hand with his mouth . ' What the fuck , I never get this way with girls ' he thought . His eyes looked back at his sleeping soulmate . In that moment he noticed the tears streaming down her face and the look of pain . ' she's crying in her sleep ' he thought . Without thinking he walked towards her . He climbed onto the bed next to her and held her close . He rubbed her hair as her head laid against his chest . She seemed to calm down a bit . He got in a more comfortable position and suddenly two arms rapped around his torso. He looked down , she was still asleep as she rubbed her head against him and pulled him closer . He looked down again at her legs and blushed again . He looked around and found a blanket on the bed frame . He grabbed it and covered her up . He didn't know why she was crying or for how long . But he held her close nonetheless . If anyone walked in , he would never hear the end of this . He continued to rub her head , trying to sooth her . His mother did this when he was younger and when something bad had happened . He heard a breath of relief and looked down . The look of pain was gone now and a small smile was in its place on her face . He felt himself smile , he felt extreme relief knowing she was ok again . He didn't understand why he felt this way towards her . There was always something alluring about her. Maybe it was because she was the most beautiful woman he's ever seen or maybe because she's his soulmate . He didn't know which to believe . He put his chin against her hair , this close she smelled wonderful . He breathed the smell in , feeling warm and fuzzy inside . This feeling was completely new to him but he wasn't angry at it but rather happy to have this feeling . He looked at her features , feeling amazed at the sight before him . He closed his eyes and held her closer . He didn't want this moment to ever end . He slowly begun to fall asleep with a happy smile on his face .

Meanwhile ~

Kirishima looked towards his best friends seat . "Where's bakugo ?" He asked . " Who knows , probably sleeping in his room . You know he sleeps early " Denki said to his friend . " Yeah , you're probably right ." Kirishima said and continued on with his night .

Time skip ~

Katsumi opened her tired eyes to a chest covered in a black shirt with a skull on it . Her eyes went wide and tried to back away . But two strong arms just pulled her back closer . She looked up to find a sleeping Bakugo . Her face turned blood red . He looked so peaceful and happy . She smiled and sub consciously up got closer to him . This close to him she could smell him . He smelled like caramel , she didn't know why . But it was intoxicating . She breathed it in and put her head against his chest again . She could hear his heartbeat and feel the rising of his chest . She didn't know how he got here or when . But she didn't want him to leave . This was the closest she's ever gotten to him . She wanted to stay in this moment forever . She took one last look at his face and took every detail in about it . The moment ended when she began to think of all the times he ignored her , or didn't look at her . All the times she felt alone and had no one . Was this really a good thing that she was so close to him? She wanted him badly but if he didn't feel the same , then she would get hurt even more .She started to cry without any warning . The tears went silently down her face and she hid her face into his chest . ' If that's true then … then will she ever get this close to him ever again ?' she thought and just kept him close . She suddenly felt a hand rub her head and another on her waist pull her closer. She looked up with shocked eyes and found two crimson eyes staring back into hers. She could stay lost in them forever . But instead she looked away . She didn't want him to see her in this state . So vulnerable , so weak . Especially if he had no interest in her what so ever . But a hand made her look back at him . "Why are you crying ?" He said to her , his voice sounded deeper than usual . If she wasn't crying she would've probably blushed . "It's … it's nothing " she said and looked away from his face . Nothing that you would care about . " Hey , hey . Look at me " he said making her look back . His hand left her chin and instead held her cheek . He whipped away her tears . " Please don't cry " he said softly . " Why do you suddenly care ? I thought you hated me … I thought that I was a nuisance to you … " she said sniffling . " I … I don't know why I care " he said and looked down , averting his eyes . "And I would never hate you " he said looking back at her . " But … but don't you think I'm a-annoying and w-weak " she said through sniffles . " You are annoying … sometimes but I wouldn't hate you for it . " He said " And no , I don't think you're weak " he rubbed her cheek with his thumb . " I think that you're one of the strongest people I know " he said . He smiled softly at her . She blushed sub consciously and looked away . " You … you really think so ?" She asked and put her hand over his , holding it close, scared that he would move it away . " Of course I do , I don't know many people who are able to leave their home and everyone they love and still be able to go on " he said and bent down , kissing her forehead . He looked at her , his eyes staring deeply into hers. She stared at him with awe . Inch by inch their faces got closer to each other . Katsumi could feel his warm breath against hers . She looked down at his lips before looking back up at his eyes . He was truly beautiful to her . Her hand held his cheek . His eyes looked down at her lips and returned slowly back to her eyes . Their lips were so close that they could almost brush against each other when a knock on the door interrupted them . They stopped in place and looked with wide eyes into each others . Katsumi felt her face burn red . And bakugo's face had a pink blush dusted on his cheeks . The knock happened again . "Katsumi ?" It was kirishima . Bakugo groaned and looked away from her , towards the door . " Go away !" Bakugo said with furrowed brows . " Bakugo ? " Kirishima said " we wondered where you were … " he trailed off putting a few things together . "Oh , oh ! Sorry ! Just forget I was here " he said and they could hear his footsteps walking away . It was quite again , except for their breathing . They looked back at each other and blushed red , this was awkward . Bakugo faked a cough and looked away . Katsumi looked away as well and blushed even more . " I guess … I should probably go" he said not looking at her . Katsumi felt her face drop . She didn't want him to leave . He didn't wait for her response as he stood up . Katsumi wanted to whimper from the absence of his touch . It was only for a short while that he held her and she felt like a piece of her soul was taken away from her . He headed for the door but stopped when his hand touched the handle . He looked back at her , she couldn't make out his expression . She frowned more and wanted to hold out her hands , to reach for him , she wanted to tell him to stay . But she couldn't speak , afraid of rejection . He sighed and walked out the door , closing it behind him . Katsumi sighed and looked away . She looked at her alarm clock . It was time to get dressed for school . She'd forgotten to put on the alarm yesterday . She sat up and looked at the door with sad eyes . This was probably the first and last time that this was ever going to happen . She wanted to crawl back into bed and cry herself to sleep , but instead chose to stand up for school . Only then did she notice the cold that nipped at her legs . She looked down and saw that she wasn't wearing any pants . She blushed and held her hands against her face . They slept next to each other and she was basically naked . She only wore a shirt and underwear . He held her , while she was almost half naked . How was she supposed to look him in the eyes after that .
