Chapter 3: Friends
(after reading, scroll to the bottom for a surprise 👀)
_______________________
Of course you were curious on who Bakugou had befriended over the years. The boy was more than a handful. Growing up over the years, he didn't have many people he called friends. If anything, you and Izuku were his only true friends in his childhood. Sure, there was others who called him their friends but they were mostly just followers of his.
So when you were introduced to the adorable redhead named Eijirou Kirishima and the Pink-skinned Beauty named Mina Ashido, you three instantly clicked. You seriously wondered how Bakugou befriended sweet people like them, and how they even put up with him. Nonetheless, you were internally grateful. Even if he wanted nothing to do with you and absolutely despised you, you were glad that he had pleasant friends.
"Wow, If I had known she was your guest, I would've brought more snacks. You should've informed me beforehand that she'd be this beautiful!"
"SHUT IT SHITTY HAIR BEFORE I THROW YOUR ASS OUT MY HOUSE!"
"Okay, okay! jeez... just calm down man."
"Yea, it's not that serious calm your nuts."
"That's if he has any."
"THE HELL YOU JUST SAY THUNDER THIGHS? AS IF YOU HAVE ANY ROOM LEFT TO BE TALKING SHIT."
"Nah, you talk too much. I just don't talk enough. Your attitude is as hot as your breath."
"Damn, I've never seen anyone besides Todoroki to be this nonchalant towards him."
"Yea... It's almost scary."
"I'LL KILL YOU!"
Bakugou made an attempt to approach you as you were sitting on his couch, smirking down at him as if he was some kind of peasant, but was stopped short by Kirishima.
"Get out of my way, shitty hair."
"Come on, bro! you can't treat your guest L/N like this. Let's just rest this tension and watch a movie.."
"No way! I will kill that useless nerd."
"Who are you calling useless?"
"You fuckface."
"He must be talking to Casper, because I know damn well he isn't talking to me."
"Don't test me, extra."
"Extra? that's new."
"You've been here less than a fucking day. Don't worry, there's more insults along the way you Wench."
"Excuse me?"
"GUYS CHILL! LETS JUST PUT ON THE MOVIE TANGLED!"
Ashido frantically stood up and announced this, an attempt to change the subject and simmer down the tension in the air.
"You're lucky Ashido is here, I would have killed you with my thighs."
Bakugou simply muttered profanities, a scowl plastered on his face while following Kirishima to the couch and sitting down next to him. You were on the right end of the couch, while Ashido was next to you, with Kirishima on her left and Bakugou on the left end of the couch. Good thing they separated you both, you wanted to kill him on the spot just for calling you a Wench.
You decided to take your mind off of him and just enjoy the movie. Tangled was indeed one of your favorite Disney movies. you loved how Tangled teaches its audience about finding courage within oneself, accepting yourself, and self-sacrifice/selflessness. If only you weren't self conscious about your appearance.
You hated seeing your stomach and arms. Your chest was medium size, making it very annoying whenever you had to run in gym. There were mix opinions on your size. While the boys referred to you as "thick", There were girls that referred to you as "fat". Boys would constantly call your body curvy, while girls said your appearance made you ugly. You've had people say that you needed to lose weight while there were others saying they were envious of your voluptuous body. Honestly, you thought of yourself as fat. You didn't think you were "thick" at all.
"Awwwn, that is so cute!" Ashidos whimper interrupted your thoughts. You heard her sniff a bit, and decided to check up on her.
"What's wrong, sis?" You said as you rubbed her back soothingly. She wrapped her arms around yours, clinging to it as tears strolled down her face.
"She kissed him, and he's dying in her arms!" She wailed out loud, with Kirishima flinching and shedding his own fair share of tears. You stood up, and motioned Ashido to scoot over as you sat down in between the two of them. You let them both lean on your shoulder, and embraced them both into a hug as they cuddled around you.
"That's so sad.."
"Disgusting."
You heard a gruff voice from the end of the couch, automatically knowing who it belonged to. You ignored him, knowing it would be better to comfort your friends instead of arguing with that hothead. He looked like he didn't want to be here anyways, so why bother? The boy was on his phone, typing away.
"Hey, don't worry. You both should keep watching. It gets better."
You felt them nodded against your shoulders. A few seconds passed by, the movie showed Eugene waking up, which immediately resorted to Rapunzel embracing him once again.
"YES!" Kirishima and Ashido both shouted in sync, and full on embraced you. Even though you were getting squished from how tight they were squeezing you, you found it cute how happy they were at the moment. You smiled, seriously wondering how Bakugou found such innocent hearted friends. It was very strange.
You didn't have many friends back in America. You weren't the type to befriend everyone you see on sight. Sure, you had a friendly personality and was polite, but you were very cautious about everyone. You can't trust every single soul in this world, especially with being a Celebrity's daughter.
"Keep your circle small, Do not befriend everyone you meet. Do not get too comfortable and share your business with everyone. People are fickle and many do not have good intentions anyway."
Your fathers words echoed into your head. He had always told you to be careful and cautious of people, since he knew there will be times he won't be there to save you. He wanted you to learn how to cope with certain situations by yourself, and not to panic.
"so L/N, how does it feel being a foreign exchange student? we haven't had any in years!" Kirishima suddently blurted out, turning around to look directly at you with his buoyant attitude.
"There isn't much that I've experienced yet, except for an autograph by my taxi driver."
"I can relate on that, many paparazzis always want to see the students of Class 1-A and 1-B since we are the Boxing Course."
'Ah, so those are the boxing classes..'
Wait a minute, Did he just say we?
"Yea! I heard someone tried to hack into our school to find out who were all in the course!" Ashido exaggeratedly flaunted her hands over her head.
"It was a security breach, you idiot."
"What do you mean by 'we'?"
"Huh? Did the school not inform you?"
Kirishima seemed to be genuinely confused as you noticed the initial shock in his face.
"I thought U.A was just a regular highschool?"
You were confused at this point. From what you heard from your father, U.A was a private highschool that had a program which included Foreign Exchange students from all over the world who travels to a foreign country to live and study abroad, as part of the foreign exchange student program. You heard they had boxing courses, but it didn't seem to be that much of an importance to where there was a potential breach in the system and paparazzi floating around? What exactly was your father hiding from you?
"Bakugou.. you didn't tell her?"
"Tell me what?"
All three of you turned your attention towards indifferent teen, who just so happened to be smirking carelessly at his phone. Without even tearing his attention away from his phone, he he chuckles, leaning back on the couch, putting an arm behind the back of his head.
" I take it your hags didn't tell you, huh?"
He turns his body facing the three of you, unreadable intensity in his eyes.
"Pathetic."
You were starting to get irritated just by the way he was acting nonchalantly. It was as if whatever the information was hid from you, mocked you to the point it made you look like
a total idiot from not being informed.
'hes not making a fool out of me, not today sir.'
You stood up from your spot, moving to stand right in front of him, taking a fist full of the top of his shirt, and dragged him up to stand up tall and facing you front and full. To the others, it may have seemed ridiculous since you were way shorter than him. But at this point, you didn't care. He irritated you way too quickly for you to just sit there and look stupid like a fool.
"Listen here, motherfucker, I don't know what the hell you thought this was, but this ain't that honey. You got five seconds to speak your truth before I smack the shit out of you."
He narrowed his eyes at you, amused by your undaunted approach at him. Usually by now, if it was anyone else, he would've have them flying by now and pleading for him to not tear them completely to shreds. But you? he would've never thought you'd have the balls to confront him like this. Hell, back then you didn't even dare to defy him. There was a time, but that isn't important at the moment. Nonetheless, He didn't care for your intrepid energy. He lifts a hand, slowly trailing it up your arm and to your throat, wrapping his hand on it and gradually to have a steady yet rough grip.
"Make me."
"....."
"Woah! woah.. G-Guys let's just settle down and talk this thr-"
"No."
You both say in a synchronized manner, staring each other down fiercely. Not an ounce of fear, nor anger resonated in either of you. With you, still gripping a fierceful of his shirt, and him still gripping his calloused hand on your smooth throat.
"Careful, wench. You don't want get on my bad side."
You arched an eyebrow, clearly not buying his statement.
"Thought I was already on it.. You made that clear last night."
"Eh? Tread lightly, or you'll unleash something you wish you fucking hadn't."
"Guys—"
"Shut up!"
Bakugou growled at Kirishima, not daring to take his eyes off you. His grip on your throat tightened a bit, nearly cutting off your air supply. It was his could the the flames igniting in his is red eyes, no sign of it waning down any time soon.
"You think you'll last challenging me? think again."
"Square up then, pussy. I got time today."
"You'll regret it."
"THATS IT, ENOUGH!"
You both faced your attention towards the feminine voice that boomed throughout the living room. Ashido for once, looked as if she was ready to pounce on you both. Which, you would let her anyways since you were on a thin string away from killing him.
"STOP IT THIS INSTANT! YOU GUYS NEED TO BEHAVE YOURSELVES BEFORE KICK YOU DOWN WITH MY DEADLY DANCE KICK, PERIOD!"
'He wouldn't last a millisecond if I smacked his grumpy ass face.'
"L/N please back down for now, he may be a dickhead, but you'd only be entertaining his antics."
Bakugou had the nerve to smirk down at you, knowing you wouldn't go through with anything you were thinking on your mind right now, and he absolutely loved it. He loved being the one to make you suffer.
"Let each other go. Please.."
"You're right Ashido. He ain't worth my time, and I don't like having it wasted on people with major anger issues."
It was inevitable, despite you not wanting to let his pretty little face get away with disrespecting you, you didn't want him to win. You would rather die than to ever have someone make you look like a fool. So you decided to let him go. He, on the other hand had different plans.
With a swift move, he had you pinned onto the ground, and his body hovering right on top of you. You felt his breath fanning against your face, and his hand his still gripping around your throat.
"I'm not done with you, brat."
"Bakugou! let her go man.. this isn't manly at all!"
"You're all bark with no bite. What you gonna do huh, doggie? You gonna roll over for me? Sit boy!" (inuyasha reference.) He moved his hand away from your throat, snatching both of your wrists together and placing them right over your head tightly with a large thud.
"L/N no! don't provoke him, he really won't hesitate to knock you out!"
"Bakugou please, just let her go bro. You're not usually like this man, what's up with you today?"
He simply stared down at you, eyes narrowing into slits and a deliberate menancing frown on his face. He seemed as if he was lost in thought without realizing his companions calling out to him. You weren't sure what exactly was going on in his head, but whatever it was, he must be debating in his head to whether let you go, regarding his pride or not.
"Tch. Weakling.."
He eventually got off of you, simply standing up without bothering to help you up. You didn't care, since you didn't want anything to do with him at the moment. It was more so as if he did decide to "help" you, first thing on your mind would be to kick him in the nuts.
You stood up, accepting both the support of Kirishima and Ashido. In the corner of your eye, you spotted Bakugou already sitting on the couch, acting as if nothing ever happened. That honestly felt like a mock to your pride, but you weren't going to be sensitive about it. You weren't weak minded.
I'm gonna go use the restroom, I'll be back."
You told the others and headed straight to the bathroom. You just needed a minute to get away, and to have a sense of relief. It was also an excuse to get away from that tension, not wanting to be near him any longer.

"Hey, Bakugou?"
Bakugou tore his attention from his phone, to the voice that called him. He sighed, irritation sparking just from someone interrupting his gameplay of Among Us on his phone.
"What do you want, Shitty Hair."
"What's up with you and L/N?"
He scrunched up his nose, confusion in his eyes from the sudden question.
"What do you mean?"
"You treat her differently from how you treat the others, as if you actually despise her."
It was unusual for him to see Kirishima question him so quickly about a situation. Usually he was too dense to notice some type of unusual behavior.. not that he was being unusual in the first place.
"It's none of your damn business. I treat everyone the same."
"I wouldn't say that.. even Midoriya's treatment is worse, but you seem to despise her way more than you do with Midoriya." Kirishima says, deep in thought and tapping his chin with his finger. Ashido also starts to notice where Kirishima was getting at.
"Yea.. you're right Kiri. He seems grumpier than usual. Do you two have some sort of hidden history?"
"Shut the hell up, don't dig your nose into things that has nothing to do with you. I don't give a flying fuck about that damn brat. She's just an extra nuisance that i'm going to get rid of like the rest of you."
"That's not nice Bakugou, what if you hurt her feelings? she's not even that bad at all, L/N is super sweet and kind!"
"Yea! we're so used to seeing you treat Deku bad, but with that altercation earlier, that definitely doesn't even compare to half the times you've treated Midoriya in a while.."
"SHUT UP! Does it look like I give a damn about her feelings? that extra can go rot for all I care."
Bakugou got up from the couch, storming off towards the direction of his room. Why did they care about how he treated you? It wasn't any of their fucking business. They didnt know anything, and should mind the business that pays them. It wasn't his fault he treated you like shit. It wasn't any of his fault. He blamed you for everything that happened between you two. You left him. You betrayed him. You promised you would always stick by him, no matter what. The sense of betrayal was lodged inside his heart, deep down with no chance of ever simmering down.
He felt pure hatred for you. You were the cause of his anger and pain that he started to experience every single day of his life. He would be damned if he let you back in just to ruin his life all over again. But he wasn't going to dwell on you any longer. Nah, he would rather watch you suffer from everything you caused him to feel. Just like that damn Deku. Crash and burn..
_____________________
It was now the evening, approximately 8pm. You were waving goodbye to Ashido and Kirishima at the door. They didn't want leave yet, but had to go home soon before their parents started to worry.
"Bye, L/N! I'll see you school!"
"Don't forget to text me L/N!"
They both said as they ran and looked back at you one last time, waving goodbye. Soon their figures faded as they ran further down the street until you couldn't see them anymore.
You sigh, closing and locking the front door. School will resume for them in two days, but for you it will be your first day and you felt very nervous. Since you were the foreign exchange student, you wouldn't receive your school schedule until the first day of school for you.
''Hope that it's very likely you will have class with Kirishima and Ashido.'
They were both lovely and kind. The complete opposite of Bakugou. Speaking of him, you haven't seen him ever since you came back from the bathroom. You asked the others where he went, which they responded saying he got bored of the movie and went to his room. You've been debating with yourself ever since if you should go up there and check up on him, but knew you shouldn't since he hated your guts. Especially after what happened earlier, knowing the tension is still at it's peak. His parent's haven't arrived home yet, and with the other two who just left, the house was eerily quiet.
'checking up on him wouldn't hurt, right?'
You tip toed up the stairs, and down the hall being cautious with every step so that he isn't alarmed with you coming. As soon as you stopped right in front of his door, that was cracked open with faint light shining through, you felt nervous but also curious.
The nervousness you felt started overwhelm you, not even sure if this was a good idea. His mom did say to take care of him while they were gone, but in reality he didn't need anyone to watch over him. He wasn't a child anymore. Sike, he still has his childish banters.
Curiosity got the best of you though. This is wattpad honey, what did you expect.
You slowly pushed the door open, a creak of the door echoeing. But before you could see what was inside, you felt a force pull you back out, roughly shoving you to the nearby wall. The wind got knocked out of you, literally. Your eyes were tightly shut, trying to slow down the blood rushing inside your head.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?"
Frustration was an understatement, so you decided not to look at him. You faced away from him, letting your attention fall onto the door. He took notice of this however and narrowed his eyes at your behavior.
"Hey, look at me idiot."
Your stubbornness refused to look at him, neither did you want to look at him the eyes. Being in this position was also making you grow very nervous, and you were starting to slowly lose your mind. Is he even aware of the position we're in?
"I said look at me, damnit!"
One of his hands cupped your chin, making your face turn towards him while his hand grabbed both of your wrists, keeping them secured.
Bakugou was fighting himself with having you trapped like this. He thought in his mind, with you ignoring his command to look at him, you were trying to make a fool out of him. He Wanted you to look at him. He wasn't sure if it was for reassurance to know you're here and with him, or if it was the thrill of knowing you were bound and defenseless in his hold. So when he grabbed your chin, he was letting his guard down for just a second.
"Useless.. you're more cowardly than I thought."
You were hesitant, not knowing why he even wanted you to look at him in the first place. Eventually, you resisted and slowly fluttered your eyes open.
The sight in front of you made you felt shivers down your spine. Bakugou was staring intently at you, as if he was trapped in a trance of some sort. His thumb was slowly rubbing circles on your chin, soothing your nerves and letting you relax. His lips was slightly parted, letting his tongue be faintly visible to you.
"Finally, you dumbass. was that so hard?"
You weren't in the mood to argue with him at all, and the throbbing headache wasn't making it any better. With the close proximity between you two, you thought you would lose your mind any second now.
"What do you want."
He rolled his eyes at you, toying with your chin with his thumb at this point while he observed your body movements.
"Funny.. I should be asking you that. After all, you were about to snoop into my room."
"No, I wasn't gonna do anything."
"Still got the nerve to lie right in my face? You really are an idiot."
"And what about it? let me be dumb in peace then. It ain't bothering you."
"Oh it is.."
His hand left your chin to squish your puffed out cheeks with his fingers. Why were you letting him do this exactly? You didn't know why. Were you going to do anything about it? Absolutely not. But one thing you knew for sure was that this was a one time thing only.
"In fact.. it's been bothering me ever since I set my eyes on your pathetic presence."
"Why do you care exactly? If It bothers you so much then just ignore me. It's not that difficult."
His eyes roamed down to your neck, with his hand slowing trailing to your jaw.
"Where's the fun in that.. hah?"
Slowly with his fingers touching the side of your jaw, he stared right into you eyes, an expression that was unreadable.
"I'd rather.."
Fingers dragging lower under your jaw, to your neck.
"Watch you.."
His hand started to wrap slowly around your neck..
"Suffer."
His hand fully gripped onto your neck squeezing tightly. He wasn't trying to fully cut off your way of breathing, but it was tight enough to make you choke a bit.
"You gonna choke for me? Hah?"
He watched as you started to choke on the loss of air, satisfied with himself to see you under his command like this. He's very possessive man, even with his own enemies. His manipulative tendencies were cunning, sly, and put anything under his spell within the snap of a finger.
Weirdly enough, you hated to say it but you honestly didn't mind this. You felt like you were crazy for even admitting it in your mind, but anyone being able take control of you was a hard task, even for your father. So to witness him having you in such a trance, was devastating to say the least.
That is, until he suddenly stopped. He let go of you, turning around and walks away from you without uttering another word. You were left speechless.. and confused. What the hell was all that? The grabbing, the choking, his very vocal vocabulary and his devious way with you. Was it all an act? no.. that definitely wasn't an act. He was toying with you. Playing with you as if you were a breakable toy, to be used and disposed of after it had been broken.
He stopped in his tracks, turning head over his shoulder to glare at you.
"U.A.. prepare yourself."
"..Why?"
"You asked if it was a regular highschool. It's not."
"Then what is U.A exactly?"
He turns his head back around, facing what was in front of him. He puts his hands in his pockets, steady walking further and further away from you.
"U.A isn't just a highschool you idiot, it's the #1 ranked prestigious school in Japan. One of the best of teachings.. Art.. Music.. Criminal justice.. Martial arts.."
"Boxing."
boxing..?
"The boxing classes needed another student to complete the boxing course requirements.. and you can guess what our best option was."
"The foreign exchange student.."
"Someone that knew the outside world, different skills, greater aspects and has seen more of the world than we ever have."
"What-"
"I'm more than enough for those idiots, but their too fucking blind to see it. I don't see how a weakling like you could benefit us."
"Clearly it starts with that ego of yours. Get rid of it and maybe they'll want to see what's under that skull."
"Shut your damn mouth." He stopped and stared at the ground.
"Doesn't manner anyway. I don't care what invisible skills you supposedly possess, but i'm not backing down, I'm gonna be the number one champion, and I will destroy you in everything you do. You're gonna fight me one and one, Got it!?"
"Mhm.. whatever you say. Don't cry when you accept defeat gremlin."
"WHAT WAS THAT YOU SHITHEAD!?"
You chuckled, walking away from him and going straight to your room. There definitely was a lot of things you needed to discuss with your father, and it wasn't going to be a pretty one. He owed you an explanation for lying to you, and letting you go blindly into this program. There were still many unanswered questions you had, but you'd have to wait until he had time to speak with you.
Whatever the case may be, you had a major problem in your hands, starting with this boxing program you were placed into without being informed of this. With the current information you had in your hands, why did they need you exactly? They couldve picked any other foreign exchange student that asked to be in there. Was it because of who your father was? Still.. it didn't make sense to you, but you were going to find out, and that would be sooner than you thought.
