TRIGGER WARNINGS

Hello! I'm here to put a trigger warning in the beginning of the chapter. Some themes inside of this may be upsetting or triggering.

️TW: PSTD Episode/ PAST S.A. / Gaslighting / Manipulation ️

I thought making a detailed trigger warning would be better than to write it in the title. Since the subjects are a lot more intense.

Chapter Twenty One: Help

The rest of Bakugo's patrol Deku tried to talk to him but he continued to blow him off. Bakugo didn't want to talk to him. If he did, Bakugo would probably throw hands at him as well. He needed to calm down and constantly hounding him throughout his patrol was only adding fuel to the fire. Kirishima tried his best to get Bakugo to calm down but it was just making it worse. Bakugo was angry about a lot of things. He was livid at Hawks and Deku but most of all he was angry at Elvira. Of all the people to tell him about Elvira's dirty laundry it just had to be Hawks. Here he thought that she wasn't lying to him anymore but he was wrong. Bakugo clenched his jaw as he slipped his mask over his eyes and his forehead. He ripped it off his head before sitting down on the bench in the locker room. With a loud curse underneath his breath, he slammed his foot against the locker. Kirishima jumped at the loud sound and looked back over at Bakugo.

"Hey man, are you going to be alright?" Kirishima asked as he put his hand on his shoulder.

"I'm FUCKING great!" Bakugo growled underneath his breath. "NEVER BETTER."

Kirishima rubbed the nape of his neck. "Kats-"

"No, you know what? I'm so fucking pissed!" Bakugo yelled as he turned back to Kirishima.

"Whoa, calm down-" Kirishima tried to touch his shoulder but Bakugo slapped it away.

"You don't understand! I have done EVERYTHING Elvira has ever asked of me. I've done A LOT. I would risk my life for her." Bakugo slammed his fist into the locker. "But she can't tell me the FUCKING truth."

"I don't know what's going on between you two..." he sighed at Bakugo. "But I'm sure you'll get to the bottom of it."

"Do you know how it fucking feels to find out shit from someone else? Fuck, I just can't believe I had to hear things from Hawks."

"Hawks?" Kirishima frowned. "What does he had to do with anything? Am I missing something?"

Bakugo let out a sigh. "He's one of her exes. It's a long story and I don't have the right to tell you about Elvira's secrets. As much as I am pissed off I won't."

Kirishima pats Bakugo's shoulder. "I won't pry. I just don't like seeing you like this, man."

"I...I just need to talk to her."

After showing up in the locker room, Bakugo decided to just go back home after he was done. Kirishima said his goodbye before Bakugo headed into the shower so he didn't have anyone waiting on him. He quickly unpacked the duffle bag he brought and slipped into a pair of clean jeans, black shirt and a pair of sneakers.

DING.

Bakugo looked over at his phone on the bench and grabbed it. He figured it was Elvira texting him so he opened up the message.

His heart dropped.

Unknown:

I told you Elvira was full of lies.

When are you going to get it through that thick skull of yours?

You're just giving her what she selfishly wants.

Bakugo:

Fuck off you dirty bastard.

Unknown:

I told you that you shouldn't get too comfortable with her.

Has she told you everything or has she chosen to lie again?

Did she tell you I was the one she called?

I was the one that fucked her and took her virginity the night she graduated.

Bakugo:

Again.

Fuck off.

I don't even know who you are, dumbass.

You can't get to me.

Unknown:

Her persona can only go so far before she has to recoup.

Elvira can keep that pretty face up all for the media

but behind closed doors she's a pathetic woman.

Don't you think so?

Bakugo glared at his phone before rolling his eyes and shoved his phone into his pocket. His phone vibrated in his pocket again as he walked out of the locker room. With a clenched jaw he left the building and hurried over to his parked car. He unlocked the trunk to throw his duffel bag inside. He slammed the trunk shut before walking over to the driver side to unlock it. Once he sat down he pulled his phone out of his pocket and opened up the phone screen. The moment he saw the new messages his heart sank.

Unknown:

| Sent (3 Photos) |

There were various photos of Elvira. Some of them were older pictures, she had shorter hair in most of them. All the photos were of her doing various lewd things. Bakugo ran his fingers through his hair. Every single photo that was sent, Elvira looked off and distant.

Bakugo:

Why the fuck do you have these?

Unknown:

Keeping tabs on her.

I've been holding onto these gems for quite some time.

Bakugo:

You are fucking pathetic.

Unknown:

| Video 0:00-5:20 |

A video was sent to Bakugo and it made his stomach drop. It was of someone with the camera on Elvira while they were fucking her in a missionary position. They pulled out of her to jack off their cock to finish on her breasts. Bakugo froze as he watched it, she looked miserable in it. She looked away from the camera but the person behind the camera grabbed her chin to pull her back.

'Don't look away...' An edited distorted voice said behind the camera. 'I know you were thinking about him while I fucked you.'

'Stop...' she moved the person's hand away and grabbed a nearby cloth to wipe her chest.

The person grabbed her face again but more roughly. 'Cocksleeves don't have permission to speak.'

'Fuck off. Don't talk to me like that.' Elvira glared at the person behind the screen.

'I can talk to you however I want. Admit you were fucking thinking about him. You don't give a shit about me. You fucking used me because I wasn't good enough.' the distorted voice snapped.

'I didn't use you. Now you are throwing a tantrum because you aren't getting what you want!' she pushed them off of her.

'You've always been like this since high school. You couldn't get over him. Ever.' the voice was stern. 'I don't understand how you can love someone who was an asshole to you. Do you like being degraded? Is that what you are into?'

'It has NOTHING to do with my sex life.' she yelled back even louder.

'I can give you everything you could ever dream of. I've told you before that I can marry you and we could have a family. You can throw this childish phase out the window and you can be with me.' the person said and Elvira glared back.

'I'm not your TOY! I don't want to marry you and I don't want to have a family with you. Are you fucking insane?" she scoffed at him.

'You don't mean that...' the distorted voice sounded hurt.

"Guess what? You will never BE him. You will never REPLACE him.' She said before the persons hand grabbed her wrist.

'FUCKING watch me.'

The last thing Bakugo saw before the video cut off was Elvira's terrified expression. Bakugo's entire body trembled in anger. He felt like he was going to be sick from how they talked to Elvira. He shoved his phone into his pocket in a panic and started the car. The rage he felt inside of his body made him shake as he drove. He felt his hand on the steering wheel and gripped it hard as he clenched his jaw. The images flashed through his head and he growled underneath his breath.

This isn't good.

Bakugo took a deep breath as he turned the corner into the parking lot of his apartment complex. As he looked around for a spot he saw Elvira's car parked in a spot in the back. He took the spot next to it, slamming his car door shut and locked it with a grunt. He marched his way towards his apartment and unlocked it with a frown.

"Honey?" he called out.

No response.

"I'm home." he called out again as he set his car keys next to hers on the counter.

No response again.

"Elvira?"

Bakugo spotted a shoe box on the couch and a dress in a protective sleeve over it. He walked over to it to look through the clear plastic to see the dress inside of it. It was an emerald green with a velvet fabric. There was a tie next to the dress in the exact color. He rubbed the nape of his neck as he looked at the tags and it was from his family's fashion company. With a soft sigh, Bakugo gently took the dress in his arm before walking down the hallway. He didn't want her dress to get all wrinkled draped over the couch.

The gala is in a few days, isn't it?

He opened the door to his bedroom and saw Elvira laying down on his bed with her back toward him. She must have crashed on the bed after she got home. He smiled to himself as he put the dress inside the closet. Elvira mumbled something underneath her breath in her sleep. Her body was moving a little while she was breathing heavily. This must be another nightmare but this time she was doing a lot more than mumbling. His hand gently grabbed onto her shoulder. He felt her body stiffen at his touch before her breathing hitched.

Something isn't right here.

His heart pounded against his eardrums as she moved around, this nightmare was different from the rest of them. Bakugo managed to move her so she was facing him. Elvira's eyes were closed shut but she was still crying in her sleep. His hands gently grab onto her shoulders to stop her from thrashing around and her hands shoot up to push against his chest.

"Honey, it's me. Katsuki." he breathed.

"P-please..." she sobbed in her sleep.

He tried to cup her face but she continued to push. "Stop pushing-"

"Stop! I-it hurts...!" Elvira's nails dug into his shoulders and he let out a hiss.

"I'm not gonna hurt you. Wake up, baby."

"Please... don't do this..." she whispered in her sleep.

He quickly tried to cup her face again, "Elvira! Wake up."

"I...I don't want this." she choked on her words. "It hurts..."

The the fuck was she having a nightmare about?

Elvira thrashed around against him as she sobbed in her sleep.

"Fuck." he hissed underneath his breath.

Somehow she rolled over on the bed and she was on top of him. His eyes widened as he looked up at her, her eyes hooded but she was terrified. She wasn't fully awake. He opened his mouth to say something but her hands quickly grabbed his throat. Her hand squeezed down hard against his windpipe, causing him to groan. She was still experiencing an episode in her head and he knew it. He felt the energy inside of his body being slowly drained as she choked him. He needed to stop her and fast.

"El..vi..ra.." he tried to breathe but her hand was tightening.

"I'm not going to let you hurt me again..." she whispered in a very soft voice.

"S-stop...!" he choked out as he reached for her arms. "It's...Kat...suki...!"

If I don't stop her she'll drain all of my energy...

He managed to lift his hand to grab onto her forearm through his gasping. Bakugo propped his legs and used what strength he had to lift her with his lower half. He quickly flipped their bodies so he was on top of her and her hand released from his throat. It was a move he learned years ago for self defense in a training course. He didn't think he'd ever have to use it. Bakugo struggled to catch his breath. The energy she took snapped back into his body, making him gasp harder for air.

"Fucking hell..." he panted.

Bakugo slowly used his free hand to move her face while the other rubbed his throat. Elvira looked up in a daze as the tears fell down her face as she looked back at him. It looked like she was a deer stuck in the headlights.

"Elvira..." he coughed. "Don't scare me like that..."

He moved in closer to check Elvira. She flinched at his touch and moved back. Bakugo moved his hand back, frowning as he clenched his hand into a fist. She looked back down at her hands, trembling as he looked and looked back at him. Bakugo breathed as he moved to grab her hand but she slapped his hand away. Elvira only sat there not saying a word, tears brimming her eyes and she quickly cleared her throat.

"You did a lot more than mumbling this time. You said things. Things that..." his hands grabbed onto her arms. "Things that fucking scared me."

Her body started to tremble more and he watched her eyes starting to disassociate. He gently slipped his hand behind her neck and she flinched because of the bruise which snapped her back.

"I... I should leave..." she said softly.

Wait, what?

Bakugo scoffed. "Huh?"

"It's best for both of us. I need to figure my shit out and you need to recover from your injuries." she walked past him but he grabbed onto her waist.

"No, you aren't leaving. We need to figure this shit out." he snapped at her.

"Do you not see me?" she snapped back. "Last night fucked me up more than I thought. Look what I did to you!"

"You can't be serious. I don't want you to leave, honey." he breathed.

Bakugo reached for her hands again but Elvira pushed Bakugo off. She quickly walked out of the room and Bakugo followed her out. She reached for her keys on the counter in the kitchen. Bakugo quickly grabbed the keys out of her hand.

"Give them back, Katsuki!" Elvira gasped as she tried to reach for her keys.

"You aren't fucking running away again. You ran away from me this morning and I'll be damned if I let you do it again!" he gave her a stern expression.

"Katsuki!"

"No!" he growled.

"Give me my fucking car keys!" Elvira snapped.

"Don't you dare put up another wall because I'll fucking destroy that shit here and now. We are NOT doing that again, Elvira!" his voice raised as he clenched onto the keys in his hand.

"I don't have time for this-"

Elvira reached for the keys again but this time Bakugo threw them across the room. The keys slammed into the wall with a thud before hitting the ground. She looked at him with shock and tried to move to get them back.

"ELVIRA HART!" Bakugo yelled at her. "I'm not as stupid as you think I am."

"WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!" she snapped back.

"You must think I'm really that stupid, ha?! You think I can see the signs?!"

"Stop yelling at me!" she yelled back.

"No! You are going to listen to me. I have been trying to talk to you since this morning. All you did was clam up on me. I've had enough!" Bakugo growled. "Please tell me the truth!"

"Katsuki!" she started to tremble as she ran her fingers through her bangs.

"Elvira, I think you've held this long enough from me." his arms wrapped around her tightly, shaking in anger.

Elvira only looked away while trying to keep a tough face but Bakugo can see through it. She was breaking in front of him and she was struggling to maintain her control.

Bakugo frowned as he looked up at her. "Why don't you like it when I dominate you in the bedroom?"

"What? What do you mean?" she glared.

"Hawks said-"

"Why are you letting him get into your head?" she rolled her eyes at him as her tone changed. "That's not like you."

"Neither is your behavior, Elvira." Bakugo sighed.

"What did he say to you?"

"He said that he was the one that took your virginity. That you called him the night Tamaki's girlfriend caught him in a lie with you."

"And those are both lies. I lost my virginity at 18 and I met Hawks when I was 21. I did call someone after that whole thing but it wasn't him." she rolled her eyes again as she crossed her arms.

"He also told me that you don't like being dominated by men because it scares you."

Elvira froze. "He said what?"

"Hawks said that whatever the 4th person did to you fucked up mentally." Bakugo looked back up at her.

She moved her hand to cover his mouth. "I heard enough..."

Bakugo glared up at her and bit onto her hand. She flinched as she pulled back her hand with a gasp. He frowned as he pulled out his phone from his pocket with his free hand and handed it to her. She looked back at him confused.

"Look at the messages. I got sent some photos and videos of you. They look old."

He watched her face turn white as she looked through the photos and the video. Her hands started to tremble as the video played. She quickly paused the video before looking back at Bakugo. Her expression was as if she was defenseless.

"P-please tell me you didn't watch it..."

"I...I did." He frowned.

Elvira looked away from him, slowly getting down on her knees with a soft sob. It was her breaking point and Bakugo could see it clearly. He knelt down to her level as she cried, gently taking the phone from her hand. Elvira only continued to sob.

"Honey..." Bakugo gently cupped his hands against her cheeks.

"I never wanted anyone to see that video..." she slipped her hands over his as she cried.

"D-did it bother you that I took control a few times during sex?" he asked softly. "Based off that video and how you reacted to how they spoke to you-"

Elvira let out a sigh through her sobbing.

"The first time you dominated me when we fucked on my dining room table it startled me. I was scared because I didn't have control. That's why I told you to leave the blindfold on. I didn't want to look pathetic to you." Elvira explained as she kept her head down.

"I would never think that. You aren't pathetic." Bakugo clenched his jaw. "Elvira, you could have told me. I would have backed off."

Elvira quickly cupped his face with her hands, catching him off guard. "Every moment we spent together intimately I cherished. Please don't ever think I regretted being with you in any way."

"Remember when I had a panic attack? You helped me through that. You were so patient with me that night. Every time I woke up, you were there to help me calm down." he looked back at her with a smile. "I can be here for you, Elvira. Always."

Elvira smiled back but she looked down. "You want me to be truthful? I...I wake up before you in the hotel."

"What?"

"I woke up to your hand was caressing my side and I moved away in a panic. I got scared seeing you next to me. I got up out of bed and started to gather up my things but you mumbled in your sleep. My hand was on the door knob when you said my name in your sleep. My instinct was to leave the hotel but I couldn't bring myself to leave you there alone." she scoffed softly as she wiped her cheek.

"You didn't want to wake me up?" he whispered and used his hand to wipe her tears. "Later on you bit me. Were you awake then?"

Elvira shook her head. "No, I fell back asleep after slipping back into bed with you."

They sat there for a minute until Bakugo lifted her head to look at him again.

"Baby, from that video I could see how terrified you were from what they said to you. I know you don't-"

Elvira put her hand in front of his face and let out a sigh. Bakugo opened his mouth before he could say a word Elvira spoke first in a soft voice as she turned to him.

"I... I was sexually assaulted by my last submissive before you, Katsuki."

There was a moment of silence before Bakugo registered what she said. He knew deep down that's what it had to be but hearing her say it out loud was like a kick to the stomach.

"Why do you think I'm so weird when it comes to rules?" Elvira's voice was soft.

"I knew you had your reasons but this..." his body boiled in anger at the thought of someone hurting her.

"It started off slow. Everything about the relationship was fine. I dominated when needed and they were almost a perfect submissive. That was until one day they wanted more of me."

"What do you mean?" he frowned at her.

Elvira looked back. "One day they wanted to go public with our relationship but I said no because I had never agreed to a committed relationship. We only fucked and that was it. They didn't like that much. In which they stormed out of my house. I didn't talk to them again until one night they came back. They tried to propose to me and I refused."

"Honey..."

"That's when I started to notice that my birth control pills were going missing." She sighed softly and Bakugo froze.

"I ended up making an appointment to get an implanted birth control to avoid missing a pill again. I said I would only do anything if we used a condom until I went to my appointment. That's when everything went wrong." she continued to explain the tears rolled down her cheeks.

Bakugo didn't say a single word, he only held onto her as she let it all out. Her shaky hand slowly moved up his back and held onto him. Almost too tightly against his bruised ribs and he let out a hiss but didn't dare to move her.

"I told him to stop. He only held me down saying I'd have such beautiful babies. That I would be such an amazing mom and wife. That I needed to throw away my silly fantasy and give in. I used my quirk on him to drain as much energy I could from them. I managed to take enough from him so he couldn't finish inside of me. It nearly killed me when the energy shot back to them." her hands trembled against his back.

Elvira took a deep breath.

"Since that day I cut ties with them. They threatened me and that they could ruin my career. I've kept it to myself because I was terrified. I ended up getting that implanted birth control soon after that because I didn't want any man to try to hold a possible pregnancy against me. I stopped letting subs sleep in the same bed as me. I closed myself off from people and only used them when I needed sex. I'm not proud of it."

He looked back at her with a frown. "I... I finished inside of you that night I confessed to you. You didn't have to force yourself-"

"That was completely different, sweet-face. You always have made me feel safe." she kissed his palm and sniffled. "I'm sorry that..."

"Fucking dumbass." he muttered as he held her close.

He quickly grabbed onto her face to kiss her lips, for a moment he felt her body flinch against him before she returned his kiss. The more he kissed her the more her body slowly started to relax against him. He quickly lifted her up to wrap her legs around his waist. He carried her to the couch as he continued to kiss her. He grabbed the back of her neck and kissed her more deeply.

"I wish you would have told me sooner." he said in between his words and pressed his forehead against hers. "I don't want you to be afraid. I'll protect you with my life."

"Katsuki..." she breathed.

Bakugo quickly moved his head up to smash his lips into hers. "I love you. I want you. I need you. Give me everything."

Let me help you forget.

Even if its just for a moment.

My sweetheart.
