SATURDAY.
// 9:00 PM

━━AFTER WATCHING THAT FULL BATTLE BETWEEN All Might and All for One, you all safely went home.

Throughout the suspenseful fight, you continued holding hands with Bakugou.

What's surprising enough was that he didn't complain about it.

Because of that, you simply left it be.

Currently, you all are inside the train that leads back to your own perfecture.

"So glad the rescue mission went successful!" Kirishima grinned.

"I WASN'T RESCUED. I ESCAPED BY MY OWN AND THE BEST ROUTE WAS WITH YOU GUYS." Bakugou barked sitting beside you while still holding your hand.

You smiled brightly, showing a thumbs up. "Nice decision!"

"Ah, the train is about to stop." Todoroki confirms.

As the train halts, everyone stepped out of the vehicle.

"I'll head home now. I called my driver beforehand to pick me up." Yaoyozoru says.

"Good. We wouldn't want a girl to walk home this late in the evening." Iida smiles with respect.

"Kacchan, we should walk you home." Midoriya fumbles.

The blondie aggressively glares at the younger boy.

"I'm... FINE. I can handle myself, fucking nerd."

"B-but just to be sure-"

"I TOLD YOU I'M FINE!" He lunges to the poor boy only then to be stopped by Kirishima holding him by the back.

"Hey hey~ we just got together guys!" You laughed, easing the tension.

Bakugou lightly pushes Kirishima away before looked at you.

"Oi dollface I'll walk you home." He sets his hand on top of your head momentarily.

A small blush crept into your cheeks. "Are you sure? You already had so much to deal with for a day."

"Then you should be fucking grateful I still want to walk you home." He growled.

"Fine fine~" You chuckled.

As you both slowly faded way from the train station, Kirishima snickered.

"Manly." He pumps his fist, staring at his buddy's back proudly.

"They're still holding hands too.." Todoroki shows a small smile.

. . .

Walking back home, you both shared minimal conversations.

You badly wanted to ask him about his experience during the past two days.

But you didn't want to accidentally make him feel uncomfortable.

Especially when he just got back.

That was when Bakugou broke the silence.

"We're here."

You turned your head to see your house in front of you.

You turned back to look at Bakugou with a smile.

"Are you sure you want to walk home alone? You were targeted a while ago you know."

"I'll be fine."

You nodded.

Then both you and Bakugou gazed at your hands that still held each other.

'I don't want to let go yet..' He thinks.

Hesitating, you gave his hand a final squeeze before slowly letting go.

Bakugou's eyes saddened when your fingers loosened from his grasp.

'I'll miss her again.'

He pulls back his hand and looked away while you headed to your gate after bidding him a faint goodnight and farewell.

When your back was facing him, reluctant ruby eyes stares.

And just when you almost touched your gate,

You jolted and widened your eyes in surprise when you felt a pair of muscular arms hugged your small frame from the back.

Bakugou shuts his eyes and lowered his head to nestle his nose on your neck.

Warmth radiated not only from his body to yours but through both of your cheeks as well.

"B-bakugou..?" You stuttered, your mind slowly begin to go fuzzy.

"Don't... d-don't go yet.." He softly murmurs against your neck giving you the shivers from his hot breath.

You blushed even more but laid your hand on top of his arms that rested on your stomach.

"I won't.. What's up?"

Bakugou slowly opens his eyes and his eyebrows furrowed. "Doesn't matter."

You smiled. "Hey, can I ask you something?"

He hummed.

"Do you occupy space?"

"What kind of shitty ass question-"

"Do you occupy space?" You asked again.

He grunts. "Yes."

"Do you have mass?"

"The fuck? Yeah I do idiot."

Suddendly, you turned around so now you were facing Bakugou while he still has his arms wrapped around you.

This caught Bakugou off guard so he wasn't able to back away making your noses touch each others.

(A/N: He's taller than you so normally this wouldn't have happened- but remember that he lowered down to reach your neck!)

"See! You occupy space, you have mass- you're matter so you matter!" You giggled happily, proud of what you said.

Seeing you so happy up close while your hands rested on his chest made his heart race fast.

'She looks so... happy..' He gulped as he felt blood rushing to his cheeks.

"So never ever tell me that it doesn't matter, because if it's enough to make you upset- if it hurts you that much- then it does matter. Never think that you are insignificant or that your problems aren't important because you matter." You smiled tenderly at him.

Bakugou's eyes softens.

"Tell me what's wrong, yeah?"

The boy distances himself making your noses not touch anymore because he knew he wouldn't be able to focus with you up close like that.

"First of all, all that 'matter' nonsense you talked about was shit." He spat.

You gasped, furrowing your eyebrows.

"But I bet I cheered you up a whole bunch didn't I?" You smiled warmly.

"Yeah, whatever." He mumbles grumpily.

"Tsun~ Tsun~"

"DON'T CALL ME THAT."

"Shh! You'll wake my neighbours up!" You hushed, whispering.

"Fuck them. So will you hear me out or not?"

"I will." You replied without hesitation.

Bakugou sighs, looking away. "I don't know okay. I just feel like I.. I-I was the reason for All Might's end.."

Your breath hitched as the tension in the air became serious again.

"Hey! Don't think like that-"

"But if I was stronger, I wouldn't have been kidnapped by them!"

You furrowed your eyebrows in concern. "Bakugou..."

"I'm.. weak too you know.." He shuts his eyes and hugged you tighter again, hiding his face on your neck so you wouldn't see.

Your heart ached when he self-consciously called himself weak.

Your eyes softened and travelled your hands from his chest to his back, hugging him back.

"It frustrates me a lot L/N... I feel like an idiot.." He grunts, voice filled with resent to himself.

"Don't doubt yourself please.." Worry laced with your words.

You slightly pull away from his grasp, making him loosen too.

Your hands slowly and ever so gently held his cheek to look at him in the eye.

His beautiful pair of ruby orbs stares right back at yours.

Your small hands cupped his cheeks.

"Sure, you've been weak. But you don't know how strong you are Bakugou... coping up with this insanely terrifying encounter." You chuckled.

That was when you looked at him in surprise when tears started to stream down from his eyes.

He sniffed and looked away but you held him back.

"Don't be shy~" You teased.

"I-I'm not damn it." He grunts while his tears continued to fall.

But you affectionately wiped them off with a smile.

When his silent tears died down, your hand ruffled his soft hair locks.

Bakugou purses his lips in embarassment as a blush bloomed in his cheeks.

"It's okay you're not who you wanted to be..." You muttered.

You almost lose him and that's the moment you realize what pain really feels like.

. . .

"BAKUGOU!"

"Stay away.. L/N.."

. . .

You almost lose him and the world spins slower.

. . .

Squeezing your eyes shut, you felt yourself begin to tear up as you balled your hands into fists.

"Wh-why...?" You croaked, mumbling in a low response.

. . .

You almost lose him but you didn't- and the moment you realize it?

It almost kills you in the spot.

And god you think you almost lost it but he's right in front of you.

It brought you back.

He's real and that's all it matters..

"Isn't it fascinating and strange how the same God that created beautiful sunsets and the starry night sky thought that the world needed one of you. So don't look down on yourself okay, hero?"

You smiled softly at him.

Oh and poor but lucky Bakugou...

He looked at her like he just realized what love is.

'Shit. I think I have feelings.'
