Chapter Nineteen Strawberry

After getting everything ready to leave, both Kirishima and Elvira insisted for Bakugo to go get his eye checked at the ER. Deku had tagged along as well but Bakugo didn't pay too much attention to him as the night carried on. His eye had swelled up more as the night went on but he didn't want to scare Elvira about it. Deku had gone on and on about how severe his black eye could be and Kirishima also joined in. With them both worrying about it only made Elvira worry even more. Bakugo didn't like that one bit and tried to shut the guys up before she went crazy. After a long back and forth session, Bakugo drove down to the local emergency room and as he sat in the waiting room. Elvira never left his side, not even for a moment and he would catch her staring at him. Her hand was holding onto his, fingers entwined with his.

He never gets to see her so loving out in public. Elvira is a very sexual and intimidating woman but when she's alone with him that mask goes down. This woman was always so sweet to him, never really giving him much grief unless it's something playful. He would every so often gently lift her hand up to his lips and kiss the back of it. All his life he never knew he could love someone this much. He risked everything for her and will continue to do so just to see her smile. Thinking back to how ignorant he was in UA and never noticed her feelings, he was happy he had her now.

I'm never letting you go.

Ever.

When they moved Bakugo into a hospital room, Elvira sat down at the seat across from him as they waited for a doctor. Bakugo slipped his sore hands into the pockets of his jeans and looked at Elvira as she glanced at her phone. She only looked at it for a moment before realizing he was watching her. He raised an eyebrow at her. She whispered a sorry before slipping it back into her pocket with a smile. They talked briefly before there was a knock on the door from the doctor.

"Bakugo Katsuki?" the female doctor asked as she watched through the door.

"Yup, that's me." Bakugo turned his attention away from Elvira to look at the doctor.

She was a petite woman with long black hair and blue eyes. Once she looked at Bakugo she got a little flustered as she asked him questions. Out of the corner of his eye he watched Elvira, her eyes were locked on the doctor.

There's my jealous girl.

"Can you take off your jacket and shirt you have on? I need to check your ribs." the doctor asked as she placed her clipboard down on the counter.

Bakugo got up to slip off his jacket and tank top as the doctor instructed. His attention snapped back to Elvira who was signaling a sign to him while the doctor's back was turned. He squinted at her as she moved her index finger down with her middle finger. His good eyes widened as he recognized what it meant.

Present?

His face flustered and whispered in a hush voice, "Are you crazy? No!"

She motioned her signal again with a smirk and Bakugo growled underneath his breath. The doctor was still doing something that had her back turned. Bakugo tugged at the top of his Jeans slightly so he flashed Elvira more of his v line. He raised an eyebrow at her, making her bite her lip with a soft giggle. Knowing full well her mind was wondering. Bakugo adjusted his pants back with a grumble.

Fucking little pervert.

Elvira looked away with a smirk as the doctor resumed examining him and her eyes never left him. From what the doctor said, Bakugo was going to be fine and he needed to take it easy for the next few days. The swelling in his eye went down a bit while the doctor treated him with a mild healing quirk. It wasn't like Recovery Girl but it relieved a little bit of the pain. Although he still walked out all fucked up and a broken blood vessel in his left eye. A couple of bruised ribs but another too terrible so he was grateful. After a long drive back to Bakugo's apartment, he finally got Elvira settled into his room before running back out to grab the bags from the car. Kirishima had followed them back to Bakugo's apartment and helped Bakugo out. It didn't take long for Bakugo to get the bags inside the house before giving Kirishima his thanks. Kirishima offered to buy Bakugo and Elvira some food before he was going to head out. Bakugo didn't refuse because he was so tired.

He closed the door behind him, leaning his back against the frame with a sigh. Tonight was a disaster and that was an understatement. Not only did the creep make himself known to Bakugo and Elvira, they had pictures now. Bakugo grunted as he walked over toward the kitchen to grab an ice pack out of the freezer. The cold feeling of the pack against his sore hands felt nice. The ache on the left side of his face was getting worse now that the adrenaline was wearing off. That punch really fucked him up but it could have been worse. He grumbled underneath his breath as he opened up the fridge to grab two water bottles. With a loud sigh, Bakugo placed the ice pack over his aching eye and left the kitchen.

He frowned as he walked down the hallway and to his bedroom where Elvira was waiting. She was laying down on the bed with her legs dangling over the side. She was staring up at the ceiling as he got closer, her mind was elsewhere in that blank expression and Bakugo didn't like it. He moved the ice pack off his face and set the waters down on the nightstand. He moved over while she was spaced out, slipped his hands underneath her legs and pressed her close to his groin.

"You fucking pervert."

She sat up a bit and propped herself up on her elbows. "Oh? You just noticed? You're slow."

"Slow?" The corner of Bakugo's lip twitched.

"Y'know, if I wasn't so tired and you weren't so beat up I'd have my way with you." she giggled as she sat up completely and got close to Bakugo's face.

He hated to admit it but she was right. After everything that happened with the creeps and their intense sex, he was completely exhausted. He smirked at her as he leaned in to kiss her lips.

"Well, the if you didn't fucking peg me..." he hummed and kissed her cheek.

"You looked so sexy on top of me riding the strap." Elvira giggled and he frowned.

"Don't say such embarrassing shit like that, dumbass!" his face grew hot in embarrassment.

"No, I don't think I will." she gently cupped his face. "Bakugo Katsuki, my little subby baby."

"S-stop it." he mumbled as his face grew even hotter. "I'm not little. You are so much shorter than I am!"

"Why? You don't like being praised?"

Bakugo looked back at her. "It's embarrassing. I'm not used to it."

"I know. You were all flustered when I did it to you earlier today. It was kind of cute." she laughed a little.

"Fuck, I'm not cute. Stop saying shit like that." he huffed.

They both looked at each other before they laughed. Bakugo wrapped his arms around her to pull her down to the bed and she got herself comfortable. Her head rested on his chest as she let out a satisfied sigh.

"How are you feeling, honey?" Bakugo whispered.

"Honestly, I really don't know."

"What do you mean?" he propped himself up on his elbow.

Elvira looked away with a frown. "I just really want to forget all about it. Please."

"Elvira."

"What do you want me to say, Katsuki?" she sat up in bed and ran her fingers through her hair. "There was a person standing at my window while we were fucking and I was terrified. I haven't been that scared in a long time..."

"What do you mean-"

There was a knock on the door that made them both jump. Bakugo's body eased as he remembered that Kirishima was supposed to come back with food with Deku. He let out a sigh before climbing out of bed.

"Where are you going?" she asked as she sat up in bed.

"Kiri said he was going to bring some food with Deku. That's probably them."

Elvira only looked at Bakugo and smiled. "You go ahead. I think I'm going to turn in for the night."

"Wait, are you sure? I'll tell them to just leave it and go." Bakugo turned to her with a frown.

"No, it's okay. I just really want to sleep and I'll just drag down the mood."

Bakugo frowned as he walked over to her and gave her a kiss on the forehead. "Please, if you change your mind I will be in the living room. I love you, honey."

"I love you too, Katsuki."

He gave her a smile before he walked out of the room and went to the front door. He opened it with a grunt and both Deku and Kirishima walked in. Kirishima walked in with a giddy smile before setting down the food on the coffee table in the living room. He handed Bakugo a separate bag with a chuckle and he resumed pulling out beers from another bag.

"Why is this one bag full of strawberry flavored candies and junk?" Bakugo squinted at Kirishima.

Both Kirishima and Deku looked at each other then back at him.

"Elvira likes anything strawberry flavored. You didn't know that?" Deku rubbed the nape of his neck with his free hand. "It's been like that since UA."

She never told me that.

"No, she was never brought it up." Bakugo frowned.

"I thought you would have known. I'm sorry."

Bakugo looked up at Deku with a glare. "Elvira and I weren't close in high school..."

Deku held up his hands in defense. "O-oh, I'm sorry. I forgot that."

He looked down with a grunt as Kirishima made a loud gasp.

"She used to eat these strawberry filled marshmallows sometimes when she used to feel faint from her quirk! I remember that." Kirishima playfully punched Deku in the shoulder. "She gave me some once. They were delicious."

"I remember those. They were very sweet." Deku laughed as he rubbed his shoulder.

Bakugo looked away with a frown. Feeling uncomfortable.

I guess there's little things I don't know about her.

"Back in high school when we used to hang out she used to carry around a small pencil bag that had strawberries printed on them too. She really liked them." Deku giggled a little.

They knew her better in high school and it started to make Bakugo feel a bit jealous. If he wasn't so busy trying to be the best at everything and relaxed a little maybe they would have talked more.

"I remember she went to school in some strawberry knee high socks until she got in trouble for being out of dress code." Kirishima shook his head. "She was so sad too. I walked with her to take her to the office."

Why does everyone know this except me?

"I felt so bad for her. She was super excited too." Deku smiled to himself.

Stop talking about her.

"Elvira said she was too tired to come out and she wanted to go to sleep. I think this whole night wore her out." Bakugo rubbed the nape of his neck.

"Definitely. I hope she'll be alright." Deku frowned as he sat down on the couch.

"Well, that type of shit can wear anyone out. At least she didn't have to fight the bastard." Bakugo scoffed and rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, that guy was tough. Both Bakugo and I were having a hard time dealing with them before they got away." Kirishima nodded his head.

"Do you mind if I still give this to her? It'll go to waste if we don't." Deku looked at Bakugo with a soft smile and held up the bag of treats.

Bakugo got off the couch. "Let me go with you. Just in case she's changing or something."

"Alright." Deku laughed as he got up to walk down the hallway with Bakugo.

They got to the door and Bakugo gently knocked on the door with his knuckle. He heard movement inside the room before he turned the handle. He opened the door a crack to poke his head through and Elvira was pulling back the blanket on the bed. She was in a pair of shorts and one of his shirts. She turned around to him with a smile.

"Did you forget something, sweetface?"

Bakugo bit his bottom lip and cleared his throat. "I have company with me. Deku really wanted to make sure you got something. Is that okay?"

Elvira only nodded her head.

Bakugo opened the door more so Deku could walk inside. He awkwardly walked toward her and rubbed the back of his neck. Compared to how small Elvira was, Deku looked massive. Elvira was always short at about 5'1" but with heels she's around 5'6". However, Deku shot up in height dramatically to 6'1". He was almost as tall as Kirishima at 6'2" and Bakugo at 5'11". It might be that quirk of his that he got from All Might that makes him a giant now. Bakugo chuckled to himself as he watched them.

"Kirishima and I thought this might cheer you up a bit." he said as he handed her the back and she took it with a smile.

"Aww, you both are so sweet. You guys remembered my love of strawberries." Elvira smiled as she looked at the bag.

Deku nodded his head with a soft chuckle. "I thought maybe it would make you happy."

"How have you been?" she asked. "I haven't seen you in a long time."

Bakugo turned around while they were talking and walked down the hallway. Deku didn't get to talk to Elvira when they were at her house so he thought he'd give them a moment to catch up. Once he made it to the living room he slumped down on the couch with a loud groan. Kirishima laid out what food he got on the coffee table and reached into the bag again to grab Bakugo a beer. Both of them cracked open a beer and drank.

"It's been awhile since I had to sit down and have a beer." Bakugo rested his head against the couch.

"Yeah? Well I'm glad I got some." Kirishima giggled and drank from the can again. "How is she? Did she like the treats?"

"Yeah, I think so. She said thank you by the way." Bakugo nodded his head.

"Awesome. I'm glad." Kirishima sighed with a smile. "Where's Midoriya?"

"He's talking to Elvira right now. He sounded like he really wanted to talk to her." he shrugged.

Kirishima nodded his head. "I bet. He was kicking himself. He felt terrible for not making it in time to help us out. I told him it was alright but you know Midoriya."

"It's whatever. We managed what we could on our own. That person was fucking strong. So I'm not mad he was late. The fight didn't last long enough anyways." Bakugo shrugged his shoulders.

"That's true." Kirishima let out a sigh after taking another drink of his beer.

"After tonight I don't know what's going to happen. I'm guessing the unknown number is going to try to use photos as blackmail." he groaned softly and ran his free hand through his hair.

"On a scale of 1 to 10 how bad would they be?" Kirishima raised an eyebrow.

"Is 100 a good number?"

"Shit, that's not good." he chuckled and placed his beer can down on the coffee table.

Bakugo wiped his mouth with the back of his hand before he set his beer down. They all talked for a while after, trying to come up with ideas of who the person could have been. Everything was just ending up in a circle with no real answer. Bakugo still had his suspicions toward Tamaki. Suneater knew hand to hand combat but he usually used his quirk during it. The creep used just his brute power alone and didn't use a quirk from what Bakugo gathered. Or they were holding back. They also were much bigger than Tamaki in weight. It couldn't have been Hawks because the person didn't have wings so that was a big factor.

So fucking annoying...

Bakugo looked over his shoulder at the hallway and at the light coming out of his open bedroom door. There were faint voices talking my back and forth. He looked down at his clock on his phone and glared.

Why is Deku taking so long?

"I gotta fish Deku out. Elvira is probably losing her mind over there."

He got up from the couch and walked down the hallway. He gripped onto the bedroom door handle and swung the door open. Elvira was sitting down on the bed and Deku was sitting down on the floor beside the bed. Elvira was looking away but he could tell she was exhausted. Deku looked at Bakugo and gave him a sheepish wave.

"I think you talked her ear off already. Let my girl sleep." Bakugo folded his arms.

"R-right. I'm sorry for keeping you up." Deku turned his attention to Elvira. "I know I tend to ramble."

She gave him a smile. "It's fine."

"Thank you for talking to me. It's nice to finally get some time to speak to you again." Deku got up to his feet and turned to Elvira.

Deku's large built figure blocked Bakugo's sight of Elvira. He leaned against the door frame while Deku pulled Elvira into a hug. From Bakugo's point of view he saw her hands do that awkward tap on the back when you don't want to hug someone back. He smiled to himself, shaking his head to keep himself from laughing. It was probably the beer that made Bakugo want to laugh.

"See you later. I hope you get some good rest." Deku said before pulling away from their hug.

"Mhmm." Elvira nodded her head and shot Bakugo a quick glance.

Bakugo raised an eyebrow at her. She turned away from his glance and Deku walked out of the room.

"I'll be just a little bit longer, honey." Bakugo said as he walked toward her. "I'm going to clean up and send them off."

"Katsuki." she said in a soft voice.

"Yeah babe?" he got closer to her.

She quickly grabbed onto his hips, hugging his lower half. She buried her face into his stomach but did not say another word. He gently caressed the back of her head and looked down at her. Bakugo wasn't used to this at all, Elvira was always so strong and confident. The layers of who she is are unveiled and Bakugo could see the high school Elvira again. He knew that it was only because she was scared of what happened. He stood there as long as he could as he held onto her until her hands went limp against him.

"Elvira?"

He looked down to see her asleep against him. He gently scooped her up in his arm and lifted the blanket to tuck her into bed. Her sleeping limp body turned on her side as he placed the blanket over her. Bakugo smiled to himself as he bent over to make sure her head was on the pillow. He gave her a quick kiss on the forehead and looked at her with a soft smile.

"Hey bro." Kirishima's voice made Bakugo's heart jump into his throat.

"Jesus FUCK!" Bakugo put a hand on his chest and gasped.

"Sorry man, I didn't mean to scare you." Kirishima whispered. "I'm gonna head out with Deku. Since he didn't drink he's gonna drive me home."

"Alright. I'll let you know if anything else happens."

Kirishima walked over to him and bumped his fist with Bakugo. "Goodnight!"

Bakugo followed Kirishima and Deku out of his apartment. He gave them a quick goodbye before cleaning up the mess in the living room. When he was done he went to the bathroom to do his nightly routine before sleeping. He smiled to himself as he heard Elvira's little snores as he got closer to his bedroom as he was done. He slipped off his clothes but his boxers before slipping into bed. He turned his alarm on for his patrol in the morning and set it down on the nightstand. Bakugo gently slipped his arm underneath Elvira's head to bring her close to him and pulled the covers over them. He gently kissed the top of her head before he dozed off into a much needed sleep.

{ * * * }

Bakugo opened up his eyes with a groan, his bruised eye was too weak to open up fully. He felt Elvira's hand on his check, up against the scar under his chest. She was still sound asleep as his alarm was going off. He let out a soft sigh as he reached over to grab his phone to turn off his alarm. He gently grabbed her hand to kiss it and used his other hand to rub her lower back. Elvira mumbled against his chest before lifting her head with a groggy smile. Bakugo smiled at her before kissing her forehead.

"I didn't know you could fall asleep so fast. You hugged me and knocked out." Bakugo teased.

"I was so tired by the time you came to the room." she whispered. "Are you going to work?"

"Yeah, I have to get up soon for a patrol." Bakugo groaned.

"With that fucked up face?" she snickered softly.

Bakugo scoffed. "Wow, thanks asshole."

Elvira giggled softly and looked at him with a smile. "Are you sure you want to work today after what happened? You still need to recover because they could only heal you so much. Since Recovery Girl wasn't there."

"Yeah, I'm still a pro hero. I need to be out there regardless." Bakugo shrugged his shoulders.

He knew he should have taken the day off to relax his body after last night. Even beaten up, he still had a duty of being a pro hero. As much as he didn't want to go in.

"If you say so..."

He pulled her in close with a hum. "Take a shower with me? I only have a bit before I have to get dressed and have to leave."

"Wait, can you drive me to my house before you go to work? I want to pick up my car." she looked up at him.

"I don't want you anywhere near your house though..." he frowned at her.

"I know but all I want is my car. Since you are going to be at work and I don't want to be alone. So I'll just go out or maybe go see my parents." she caressed his sore hips.

He shivered at her touch, there was a warm touch in her finger tips.

"Honey..." he sighed as he reached up to caress her chin with his thumb.

"Please?" she gently caressed her thumb against his hip bone.

"Fine, I'll drive you. Just take a shower with me, okay?"

She smiled at him. "Deal."

"No funny business. I don't have much time before we have to go." He leaned over to kiss her forehead. "I just want you. Even it's just being with you."

"I..." Elvira looked flustered as she sat up in bed.

"Hmm? What is it?" Bakugo raised an eyebrow at her.

"You can be pretty romantic sometimes." she looked back at him and blushed.

"I know I'm rough around the edges but give me a little credit. I want you to know that I love you, babe." Bakugo moved in to kiss her cheek. "I love you more than anything. It's not just sex, even if it's mind blowing sometimes. I just want you. Your time, your presence and your heart."

"I don't deserve you." she whispered and smiled to herself. "How did I get so lucky?"

Oh no.

We are not doing this.

"Stop saying shit like that." Bakugo grabbed onto her chin to look at him.

"What?" she looked at him confused.

"This is the second time you've said that to me. I don't fucking like it." Bakugo's brow creased in annoyance. "I think you deserve the fucking world. If I had the power I'd fucking buy it for you."

"Shut up. Now you are exaggerating." she giggled against his hold.

"Maybe. Fuck, I'm trying to be romantic."

Elvira wrapped her arms around his neck. "You are so stupid."

"Get your ass off this bed or I'll pull you off myself." Bakugo grunted.

"Yes sir." she pouted.

Bakugo gently slipped off the bed and extended his hand out for Elvira. She took his hand with a smile before getting up. He let her walk in front of him and through the bathroom door first. He stayed in the room for a bit, allowing Elvira to use the bathroom before he walked in. He heard the toilet flush and the faucet turn on before he knocked on the door gently. Elvira walked past him out of the bathroom to let him use the bathroom and once he was done he opened up the door for her.

They both undressed as they stepped inside. Bakugo looked down at her body, admiring all the hickeys and love bites he gave her.

"Do you like the water warm or hot?" Bakugo called out.

"Hot. That's if you don't mind."

He turned the knob a little bit. "It's fine."

"Hey, Katsuki? Can I try something?" she whispered.

"Hmm?"

Slowly he felt Elvira's arms wrap around his body, he felt a small surge of energy flow through him. It started off as a small burst in his gut and it flowed up his torso. He looked over at her hands and put them over hers. She was giving him a little bit of her energy to him through her quirk. It felt different than the other times she used her quirk on him. Those times she used it against him but this time it was different.

Way different.

"Is this your way of being romantic?" he asked as he slipped his hand underneath the water to check the temperature.

"In a way." she hummed.

"Is that so?"

Elvira whispered against his back. "You're the first person I've done this to. It's a little hard to find a place for my energy to go."

It feels so warm.

"Mmm, it feels nice. I only see you use your quirk in the bedroom. I never got to feel it by itself." he hummed softly. "I never really knew how it worked."

"It's like a rubber band effect. If I use it too much it snaps back in place. Sometimes I feel overstimulated if I give or take too much. I get really drained if I'm not careful. I've only ever pulled too much from someone but it was in defense. I felt like the wind got knocked out of me when it reflected back."

Now that he remembers last night when she drained his energy for a bit and it went back to him she was completely spent.

"Do you think when you redirect the energy back to another person that you give off some of yours? And that's why you get tired and overstimulated?" Bakugo asked as felt the energy source move.

"Maybe. I'm not too sure. My mothers quirk is different from mine. She feeds off the energy but doesn't give it back. But with hers she'll end up in a hibernation that lasts a few days depending how much she uses it. Luckily I only get exhausted without hibernation."

"So your mom is the one with a succubus quirk?" Bakugo asked.

"My father has an energy type quirk that gives him a boost of adrenaline when needed. He can run at great speeds but his drawback is getting extremely dizzy after using it for too long. My mother harps on him about it because she worries. My quirk is both my mothers quirk and my father's energy quirk. I still don't have a handle on certain things of my own quirk." Elvira shifted her hands up his chest. "I know I can't run like my dad."

The energy flowed through him like silk and he closed his eyes with a sigh.

"What about the wings? I saw them for the first time last night." Bakugo mumbled. "Is that what the small wing tattoo on your lower back is?"

"You mean my birthmark? Well, my mom has wings but she can't make them disappear. I don't know much about why mine come and go. It's only come out a few times in my life. My mother doesn't know why either."

He concentrated on her and eventually he could hear her heartbeat. It was at a normal pace but so soft that he could barely hear it. That was her center focus of her quirk and he knew it. The energy circled around his chest for a moment, for a moment he felt one with her. He smiled to himself as he felt the presence of her quirk leaving his body and he opened his eyes.

"Elvira..." Bakugo slowly turned around to look at her and entwined his fingers with hers.

"Thank you." She whispered.

"For what?" He kissed the back of her hand.

"For letting me in."

"Anything for you, honey." whispered softly against her ear. "Always."

He opened up the shower door and let her step inside first. He gave her ass a quick slap and she turned back with a giggle. Bakugo helped wash Elvira's body and she did the same for him. In between he would give her kisses on her shoulder and back when he could. He likes this glimpse of domestic life, with how intense their careers were he never really gets to breathe and relax. Elvira is very fast and bold along with his personality. However, this was nice as little as he got to enjoy it. He pushed her wet hair over her shoulder and froze. There was a small bruise forming in the back of her neck. It wasn't a love bite or even a hickey, it was darker and still fresh.

"Katsuki...?"

Did I do that when I held her head down during sex?
