Atri P.O.V
I don't want to look at Katsuki… I embarrassed him in front of the whole class and I feel terrible. But, he caught up to me at the end of the day when I was heading back to the dorms alone with my thoughts.
Before I had left Japan I had a huge crush on Katsuki...I mean we were only 13 and I felt we weren't ready for anything. Now three years later I feel those bottled up feelings come rushing back almost worse than ever.
"Hey!" He calls out to me running behind me to try and catch up.
"Hey, Katuski," I say.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He asks me, looking furious.
"Tell you what?" I ask even though I know full well what he is talking about.
"Cut the shit, you know what I'm talking about, why didn't you tell me about your quirks drawbacks? You used to say your quirk didn't have any drawbacks," He growls. "I should have known it was bullshit…"
I continue walking.
"Just because I have drawbacks doesn't mean that I have to stop using my quirk…'Suki you of all people should know that," I say pointing out that he also has drawbacks.
"Yeah but I care about you and you shouldn't be using your quirk if it takes away your life source…" He says rather soft as we walk into the dorms. The other students of class 2-A stand around talking and laughing when we come in.
"Suki...you know that I know you care about me and I care about you too but...I want to be a hero one day so I'm not going to just stop using my quirk," I say, stopping in the hallway.
He leans down glaring at me as I stare almost uninterestedly into his face. Those crimson orbs travel over me almost contemplating what he was going to do next.
"Fine...but tonight we are having a movie night," He says unexpectedly.
I laugh. "What?"
"You heard me...you just got back and since we haven't had one in over three years we're having one tonight. And I'm picking out the movie," He says a scowl on his face that makes me want to laugh.
I reach my hand up ruffling his dirty blonde hair feeling the familiar softness. He makes almost a growl when I ruffle it out of the perfect messy organization on his head. Slapping my hand away he fixes his hair almost desperately.
I walk away greeting the class as I make my way to the elevator. Stepping in I hit number five feeling the vibration of the elevator as it lifts up to the fifth floor.
When I reach my room I start to change, managing to change out of my skirt pulling on a pair of shorts still in my bra. I hear my door open. Gasping I pull a shirt haphazardly to cover my breasts but when I see it's Katsuki I breathe a sigh of relief before letting down the shirt.
I grab the tube of ointment on my dresser that was prescribed to me whenever my stitches split open. The incident in America left me messed up worse than I had imagined because now...I really have to be careful. A couple months later and the stitches hadn't healed.
"Wow… you still love books don't you," Katsuki murmurs, closing the door coming inside my room.
"Did you expect everything to change about me?" I ask.
He shakes his head tearing his eyes away from the hundreds of books I had brought with me that now line the bookshelves adorning my room. I carefully swab the ointment over my stitches, my breath hitching when it stings.
"Wait, you still have stitches?" He asks.
"Yeah...It was only a couple months ago," I laughed, pulling a shirt over my torso.
He doesn't say anything, instead he waits until I slip on my slippers and then he pulls me out of my room dragging me down the empty hallway to a room marked number 14. We entered the room that Katsuki occupies. I didn't expect anything else.
In one corner there was a TV with a DVD player and game console. On the other side he had a black drum set placed beside his desk littered with papers. An All Might calendar hung on the back of his door; All Might with his hands on his hips grins down at us as I look around the rest of his room.
A punching bag was in the other corner beside his bed that was a punching bag; When I look back at Bakugou his face turns a strawberry as he holds two bowls of popcorn-one clearly buttered and the other spicy popcorn.
I grin taking one in a hand before grabbing his free hand bringing him to his bed pulling him onto it kicking off my slippers. He smiles, placing the bowl he was carrying on the table beside the bed before grabbing the remote.
"What do you want to watch?" He asks me almost a challenge to see if I remember our favorite movie.
I pretend to think about it before meeting his eyes. "Well… we could watch Twilight because I know you just love that movie. Edward is clearly your favorite character," I laugh as he throws some popcorn at me.
"Alright...fine, how about Fast and Furious 1?" I ask seriously.
When he turned on the TV Fast and Furious was already waiting for us to hit play and watch. I grin looking at him. I reach over him to grab the spicy popcorn popping a few into my mouth.
The movie is great like usual Bakugou murmuring his favorite lines to himself as he ate the buttered popcorn and I ate the spicy popcorn. I switched with him midway through the movie tossing the spicy popcorn in with the buttered popcorn earning a chuckle from Bakugou.
"What?" I whine just to tease him.
"You're cute you know that?" He asks me almost subconsciously. I stare at him curiously wondering if he meant to say that. Almost in an instant his face goes red even in the dark his face is clearly red.
"Cute?" I ask him.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about, you must be hearing things," He stutters, lying horribly. I grin looking at him until his eyes meet mine.
"Did Katsuki Bakugou just-stutter?" I ask.
"No-man you're so hard to be around still…" He groans.
"Why's that?"
"I don't know...you're just you and I can't help the things I say…"
"Even after three years of being apart?" I ask him seriously.
"Yeah...Damnit Atri we aren't kids anymore...So I'm just going to tell you straight up," He says. "That's what you prefer from me right?"
I nod allowing him to continue; the butterflies in my stomach acting up worse than my stitches.
"Fine...I liked you so much-no I didn't like you I loved you ever since we were kids...Alright and when you came back all of those feelings...they came back," He says not meeting my eyes. "I love you-I guess I can't really say loved because that was in the past and I currently love you…"
I bite my lip the words that I wanted to say every minute that I have been here being taken by him;his confidence wavering as I don't answer trying to not throw up the butterflies in my stomach.
"I'm sorry...fuck why did I even say that-" I shut him up placing a finger on his lips while I compose myself.
Breathing in deeply nodding.
He raises an eyebrow watching me compose myself to keep myself from laughing.
"'Suki...I love you too-" I say, removing my finger from his mouth. Leaning in he meets me in the middle, his lips surprisingly soft against mine. He kisses me uncertainty as if he's holding back everything. He pushes the bowl of popcorn off of his bed knocking the few kernels onto his rug.
I wrap my arms around his neck carefully allowing him to lay me down on his bed. He caresses my hair, his finger tracing the outline of my jaw.
Finally getting annoyed by him not going all out I move my hands from his neck and bring them up to his head adding more pressure onto my lips to let him know I'm not delicate.
Taking this as permission he enters my mouth, his tongue exploring each and every surface of my mouth now going as desperately fast as he could.
Until we both lost breath.
"That-was fucking amazing," He says against my mouth kissing me again.
"I agree…" I say kissing him again this time my tongue fighting for dominance inside his mouth but almost reluctantly he lets me copy his actions from earlier-my turn to experience him.
A knock sounds on the door and Katsuki almost flies away from me and I jump feeling my heart falter almost as if it jumped out of its cage.
"Dinners ready!" Kirishima calls inside. "Dude you might want to hurry up!"
"I'm coming!" Bakugou growls looking pissed from being interrupted.
"I bet you are~" The lisp of the pervy grape dude calls in.
Bakugou his face crimson for about the tenth time today storms off of the bed to the door wrenching it open revealing Kirishima, Mineta, Denki and Sero standing outside desperately trying to see inside his room where I was sprawled on his bed.
I watch Bakugou yell at Mineta, his voice echoing through his room and the hallway before he drags the short grape boy into the middle of the hallway, rolling him like a bowling ball down the hall where I hear screams from girls as Mineta the bowling ball nears them.
I burst out laughing just the same as the other boys. I stand up walking out of Katsukis room seeing the boy hit the wall with a loud banging sound as the vase on the table above him tips over shattering on the floor the water from the vase getting soaked up by the Grape dude.
I sigh, grabbing Katsukis hand while walking with him to the elevator making sure it was empty before hitting the ground floor where the dining room and kitchen was located.
We walk hand in hand together with him rather calmly considering the past events. Conversations echo from the dining area but when Katsuki and I arrive the conversations stop, eyes all on us, their gazes drifting from our eyes to our clasped hands.
"Damn…" Mina says laughing. "You guys should sit down."
I laugh alongside her taking Katsuki to two empty spots one beside a boy with red and white hair, a unique scar on his right eye and the other next to Mina. Bakugou sat me next to Mina where he took the seat beside the candy cane haired boy.
"Okay so you haven't met everyone…" Mina says before starting pointing out those who I didn't meet in class. "That's Shoji, Uraraka, Hagakure, Mom-I mean Momo and finally Todoroki."
I wave to each of them including the boy with white and red hair, he gives me a small tentative smile before turning back to his soba.
Momo has a long black ponytail that waves behind her as she walks to me, handing me a bowl of soba and chicken.
"So do we have cooking duty?" I ask.
"No we kind of just eat on our own for the most part but when we met you we thought we should cook a big dinner for everyone," She says smiling.
"Oh alright," I nod, smiling back at her.
Katsukis hand finds my thigh a small squeeze drawing my attention from her to him. He gives me a bottle of hot sauce that just appeared out of nowhere. I gratefully take it, dashing it onto my bowl of soba.
"You're just like Bakugou with your hot sauce," Kirishima says sitting down in a seat across from me.
"Oh trust me she's worse," Bakugou says laughing.
Everyone around look startled at the blonde haired red eyed teen who ignores them before taking a bite of his soba.
"We don't really have a schedule on anything, honestly it's just kind of like as if you were at home-except your with your classmates," Momo continues to explain.
"Okay so no shower schedule alright that's good," I grin, feeling more comfortable.
"So where in America were you from?" I turn to see Uraraka ask me.
"Well we moved a couple times but mostly California than Colorado and then New York," I explain. "I was only in New York for work studies though…"
"Oh really? I heard that the Yakuza gang was really active there last year...they apparently captured some heroes and some of their sidekicks," Todoroki says.
I clear my throat feeling it constrict over the pressure being applied to me.
"Well-yes that is true-"
"Were you working with any of the heroes that got captured?" Midoriya asks me.
"Yeah I was working at that time-" I say nodding to his question.
"Atri, you don't need to tell them if you don't want to," Katsuki says, giving me a worried look and a small squeeze on my thigh.
I nod smiling at him. I take a sip of water before continuing.
"Yes I worked with the Pro-heroes in America when the Yakuza gang was there- they were there researching something...we still don't know what but we drove them back out of America and now we don't know where they are…" I shrug. "But anyways…"
"So do you have your provisional heroes license?" Midoriya asks me.
"Well I did but it expires as soon as I migrate to another country as it is only valid in America," I say thinking of my license. "But I have a chance to work for it- isn't the licensing exam coming up here?"
They all nod looking excited. "I can't wait for it to be honest." I grin.
"Well we all figure you're going to get your license, I mean you already got it," Kaminari says laughing.
"Yeah...well standards are different here in Japan compared to America so I still have to practice," I shrug.
"Everyone here is going to do well," Midoriya says. I hear Katsuki 'tch' before saying something;
"Obviously because we are the best fucking class in the school!" He says.
"LANGUAGE!" Tenya Iida says standing up pointing his hand at Katsuki.
"Iida sit down," Tsu Asui says calmly, sighing as she drinks the rest of her water.
"Hey Atri?" Mina asks me quietly as the rest of the class starts laughing and talking about other things not including me.
"Yeah?"
"The so-called Bakusquad and I are going up to the roof to pass the greens. If you know what I mean, d'you want to come?" She asks me, winking.
I grin nodding already knowing what she meant by passing the greens as I had done that in America with friends behind the school at lunch. Funny I never knew that Bakugou smoked though. I laugh to myself taking another bite of my soba.
After dinner I head back to my room grabbing a sweater laying in my bed waiting for curfew to pass. Mina had told me to meet her in the common area after curfew because that was when they always went up to the roof to so-called pass the greens.
I see the clock strike eleven and I stand up brushing through my hair before heading out taking the stairs instead of the elevator. I see Mina, Kirishima, Sero, Denki and Bakugou waiting in the common area together clearly waiting for me.
I smile when they see me and Katsuki grins looking at me walking to where I was putting his hand on my back as we made our way back up the stairs to the roof.
Denki pulls out a credit card, sliding it into the security override. The light turns green and we head out onto the roof a couple of lawn chairs were set up on the flat topped roof.
Sero pulls out a bag and papers, handing them to Bakugou who sits me down next to him on one of the lawn chairs as he rolls a blunt. Once he finishes rolling it he holds it up to me to lick.
I lick it looking into his eyes the whole time. He smirks, turning away grabbing a lighter from his pocket holding it up to his lips. After he lights it he takes a deep drag passing it to me. I puff on it holding the smoke in my mouth before passing it to Kirishima.
Bakugou pulls me onto his lap looking at my lips, the smoke starting to escape my lips.
"Hey Atri!" Denki calls.
"Want to ghost it?" He asks me when I look at him.
I glance at Bakugou who looks pissed at Denki but seems to know better than to yell past curfew. I smirk as his crimson eyes narrow and the smoke in his mouth streams out of his nostrils looking like an angry demon.
I look at Denki before shaking my head, blowing my smoke away from Katsukis face. I gesture to Sero to hand me the blunt. He hands me it. I hold it up to Bakugou's lips allowing him to take a drag before handing it to Mina.
He took a long drag so when I kissed him he released a cloud of smoke into my mouth, the smoke drifting through my nostrils. I grin, pulling away.
"Man you are so much cooler than Katsuki, why couldn't we have sent him away instead," Denki says.
I laugh. "Because you wouldn't get him back."
The boys and Mina all laugh as Bakugou glares daggers at me, tightening his grip on me.
"Oh is that right?" He asks me in his voice; a gruff low grumble.
"Yeah it is," I smirk.
He rolls his eyes. "Dumbass…" He says this lovingly burying his head into my shoulder.
I look back at the 'Bakusquad' who are now looking at me with surprised expressions on their faces with smoke drifting from one another.
Mina suggests a game of passing the smoke which I agree and I force Katsuki to join. He starts taking a drag of the blunt kissing me passing the smoke to me. Mina was on my other side so I kissed her, breathing it into her cherry flavored mouth.
Then she passed it to Kirishima and then to Sero to Denki. I notice they don't touch lips but instead just breathe into each other's mouth. With Denki finishing he puffs out rings of smoke laughing when Sero swipes them away.
We spend the whole night playing games and getting to know each other-or rather me getting to know them and them learning more about me- until around 2 am when we all decide we better leave the roof and head back down to our dorms. Denki and Sero were on the third floor, Mina was on the second floor and Kirishima was on the fourth floor.
Bakugou and I walk together to my room, closing it quietly as we giggle to each other. He lays on my bed slipping off his shoes and pulling off his shirt. I kicked off my shoes and slid into bed next to him, my arm around his torso and his arms wrapped around me.
"I love you~" He whispers, kissing my forehead.
"I love you too 'Suki…" I murmur falling asleep.
