Chapter 4 What's Your Damage?

Katsuki POV

Friday couldn't come fast enough, I just asked her out and I can't help the giddiness filling my chest. I don't know when I fell hard for her. It could have been at the sports festival or even way before that.

All I can say for sure is that I'm into this girl and if Deku thinks even for a minute that I'm going to give her up without a fight then he was so wrong. I don't get why he is getting all pissy anyways. He had the whole beginning of the school year to try and get with her but he didn't.

I mean really he must have a screw loose somewhere in his brain. She's driven, strong and determined to get what she wants. Not to mention that she is drop dead gorgeous. Why wouldn't he make a move on her it really doesn't make sense.

"Hello, earth to Katsuki" I could hear Eijirou energetic voice ripping me from my thought as I learned firmly against the wall. As I shifted my neck I could feel my muscles stiffening, man how long have I been staying in this exact position.

Eijiro red eyes scanned my face as his red backpack hung casually over his shoulder. While an amused yet impatient grin formed on his face. A mischievous twinkle formed in his eye as a devious smirk formed on his face.

"You were thinking about Uraraka weren't you" his accusatory tone is filled with both excitement and joy. Man the only person happier than me about asking Uraraka out is Eijirou. "Shut up and what is taking Mina so long I won't keep standing her all day Eijirou."

Just saying his first name out loud wasn't my first time but still, he grinned like a fool everytime I said it. We had gotten close ever since the USJ incident so first name basis we went. Mina, on the other hand, is a new thing for me. I only played nice before because she and Eijirou are dating.

But I don't know since the sports festival I can see her as a rival one day. She ain't beating me any time soon but I know that she would put up a good fight. Hence why I bothered to learn her name.

"Jeezy don't get pissy Bakugou I'm right here. I was busy talking to Uraraka she is going to walk back with us so try not to be a total ass." Mina light-hearted tone told me that she is joking but as my eyes scanned her pink face it took all my willpower to choke down my rage.

I let my eyes run I've her horns for a moment before nodding my head slowly. But as I looked to her right and left all I got was air. My heart began to quicken did she ditch me.

But as I learned firmly against the wall. I noticed that she was apologizing to Deku off yo the side. A gentle smile plaster on her face as an apologetic glimmer formed in her eyes. I don't get why she hangs out with him. Though I'm not better I have known the guy since I was a kid and I still don't get why I hung out with him.

I shook my head sadly as a sly and cocky grin took over my face. The grin only seemed to widen as I watched her walk over to us a dazzling heart-stopping smile lit up her face as she turned her bright gaze to me. Her smile shines brighter than the sun.

I couldn't help but smile back as I shifted my gaze past her thin shoulder to see Deku glaring daggers at me. Rage burned in his eyes as he glared at me. Unspoken rage filled his eyes as I stuck my tongue out at him before walking or with the guys.

The birds soft yet sweet melody filled the air putting me at ease as the warming air for nitro sweat to drip from my fingertips. Some crackles erupted in the air as my sweat came in contact with the ground.

But I had to say that I haven't been this content in a while maybe there is something in the air. "So what was that with Deku? What is his problem with you walking home with us? We all live in the general direction." I looked up from my nice peaceful moment for it to be ruined by Mina's laid-back tone.

Her toned pink arms were tucked firmly behind her head as Eijirou held onto her bag, man if there is one thing that I will never do is hold Uraraka bag, it is bright pink and I wouldn't be caught dead being that whipped. I shifted my vision to the blue jays filling passed us. There was beating effortlessly against the sky man what I wouldn't give to fly away from this conversation.

The last thing that I wanted to deal with is Deku and his bullshit yet here we go again bringing it up, I couldn't tell you how many times Eijirou made me play nice with that loser just cause he is friends with the dork.

"I couldn't tell you, I told him that I couldn't walk home with him today and he started to yell at me. Something about you can't just cancel on your friends and then replace us with a bunch of other people. I didn't take him for the jealous type but I guess that I was wrong."

I turned to look at Uraraka she shrugged her shoulder casually before moving closer to me, are arms lightly brushing up against each which for some dumbass reason made my heart flutter. Katsuki man the fuck up this shouldn't get you happy this should be nothing. I shook my head slightly as I looked up to see Eijirou and Mina grinning at me like an idiot.

"Maybe he is just stressed out, the amount of homework that Eraserhead gave us is nuts, Katsuki I might need another study session what do you say?" I laughed but nodded my head if there is one thing that I can't allow to happen is for Eijirou to fail and get left back. That means that I'm going to be stuck to deal with a bunch of losers without him and that didn't seem like a good time to me.

"Well then if Kiri is going then so am I! What about you Uraraka you want to tag along to Bakugou's house. It's huge you just have to come, right Bakugou?!" I looked at Mina as I willed my face into an impassive mask. But on the inside, I wanted to kill her what the hell is her problem she is so not suttle with anything she does.

"Yeah, that is if you don't mind Bakugou?" I grinned down at her, her doe-like eyes widening with worry that I might say no or blow up on her but I would love any reason to learn more about her.

"Sounds good to me just to, and just to warn you though my mom can be a bit much." I laughed sheepishly as I rubbed the back of my neck gently. That is putting it mildly when she met Mina she thought we were dating and nearly bit the girls head off.

I shook my head sadly as we turn to walk back to my house, each of them chatting about something that didn't seem interesting to me. In fact, I wasn't really listening much I just enjoyed the peaceful walk. Things have been so wild and upbeat since the sports festival. Not only did we do our internships last week. But between the hero killer bullshit and now all of this, it's nice to have one day of peace.

That feeling of being at ease dropped the moment that I notice a bright forest green roof of a four-story house. Neither cars were in the drive which means that mom and dad were both out. Which should buy me a couple more hours of peace but if they got home and Uraraka was still here... The cold hand of trepidation gripped my heart at the thought of my mother meeting Uraraka. That would ruin any shot that I have with her.

"Well you lucked out lover boy, your mom isn't here" I snarled angrily as my eyebrow knitted together in rage. "SHUT THE FUCK UP MINA" I started to walk casually to the door letting my keys slid into the metallic lock. Turning effortlessly as the tumblers shifted and unlocked in a matter of seconds.

The cool ac kicked in blasting me in the face forcing a cold chill to go down my spine, but even in the winter my mom as the ac this cold. Between me and my dad if either one of us gets a little too warm. There tends to be explosion especially when I lose my temper or he claps a little too hard.

I sucked in a heavy breath as I moved into the living room with the other following after me. Each of them let out a calm sigh as their bodies were engulfed with the cool air. I'm sure to them this felt great. Way better than the heat that is rolling in from the beginning of summer. "Our finals are coming up soon we should start studying for that too."

Eijirou groaned heavily at his own comment as Mina and Uraraka broke out into a fit of giggles, I simply smiled as I collapse heavily in my dad's black recliner chair. The cold leather seeped deep into my pores. Whisking away some of my nitro sweat that covered my skin. Man, I would have to take a shower this nitro sweat is starting to aggravate my skin.

I sucked in a breath as I slowly close my eyes for a moment, as I feel myself drifting off I hear a slapping sound. "Wakey wakey bro you have to tutor us and you can't do that if you are sleeping," I grumbled lowly under my breath as Eijirou carefree tone and that is why this guy is failing. He rather has fun than sit down and study.

I shook my head sadly as I went to work teaching them what they need to know for not only the homework but the upcoming midterm. Soon Eijirou and Mina left leaving me and Uraraka alone.

I caught myself staring at her a lot as she got lost in thought of how to solve a problem, this current problem we have spent more than 20 minutes on and while I'm finished she still hasn't got it figured out yet.

Soon the sun would set and it would be too late to walk her back but my parents still aren't home yet so I would have to walk her back just to be safe. Which would mean more alone time with her?

Honestly, I couldn't hate that, I could try but why would I want to do that she is an amazing girl and there is nothing I love more than spending time with her. "Katsuki we are home!" That was my mom great. I felt a cold shiver go down my spine as Uraraka looked up form her paper for the first time in 10 minutes.

I got so used to staring at her furrowed brow as she got lost deep in thought or the way that her eyes lit up every time she solved a problem right. That I got shocked when I saw the new look on her face. Her brown eyes seemed to darken as a bright red tint started to form on her ears. Was she worried about meeting my mom? e

It forces a laugh to leave my lips as I looked up to see my father walking into the room. He calm brown eyes looked me over for a moment I doubt that he even noticed Uraraka till my mother came storming in the room. She looked close to yelling at me when she noticed Uraraka and a kind smile formed on her face.

"Hello, I'm , Katsuki mother you must be a friend from school right?" Uraraka nodded as she rose from her couch bowing politely to both of them forcing a gentle smile to form on my dad's face as he turns to me. He didn't say a word but his eyes became cold as he focused on me.

In his eyes, I could see a silent threat "Play Nice!" Let's just say that he didn't appreciate what I did at the sports festival. So lately his temper has been running short with me, but that is fine I could take the man at any time. But instead, I nodded my head as my mother grabbed Uraraka by the chin.

Gently lifting her face up so that her crimson gaze met Uraraka bright brown gaze, "Are you the cutie from the sports festival that Katsuki pummeled? What are you doing with my son? What are your intentions with him?" I felt my face brighten up as I growled angrily at her. "Get out we are trying to study!"

Mom turned her head to me slowly her red eyes filled with fiery determination as Uraraka stood there in complete shock. I don't think that she could move at this point "Watch it you little brat I know what "studying" means. I watched as she did her air quotes and it forces my entire face to lit up. "MOM!"

But it was nothing to the bright red mess that is Uraraka she started to wave her hand frazzled as she shook her head no. Saying something that I couldn't quite catch from her. My mother on the other hand simply rolled her eyes and glared at Uraraka "Well it's late and you should head home."

At this, my father frowns as he gently grabbed my mom's shoulder and glared at her like she had done something wrong. The only thing that she did wrong is I don't know opening her mouth and coming into the room. Other than that she did nothing wrong. "It's too dark for her to walk alone, Katsuki walks with her then come straight home."

I sighed out in relief thank god for dad, I gripped Uraraka stuff putting it into her book before grabbing her hand and taking her out of the room. Soon the cold stuffy air was gone and replace with humid summer air. But anything was better than that stupid room with my nutjob mother. I took in a heavy breath looking at the sky for the first time in a while, the bright blue sky turned into a bright orange with splashes of twilight purple.

"It's pretty" I listen to the awestruck voice of the most gorgeous girl in the world, her bright chocolate brown orbs stared in amazement and awe as we slowly shuffled back to her place. Her arm wrapped firmly around mine as I slung her bright pink bag over my shoulder. Damn my mother for making me do this she has to be the worst.

"Sorry about early, Mina wasn't kidding when she said that you caught a break earlier. I'm sure that if it wasn't for the setting sun she would have integrated you for god knows how long." I shook my head sadly as Uraraka looked up sporting an ear-splitting grin formed on her face.

I don't know what it was about her smile but it seemed so infectious as a smile on my own formed on my face. "Don't worry about it Bakugou I get it my dad is the same way a little too high strong when it comes to boys. But he is a really good guy, anyway I'm sure that things between me and your mom will work out soon."

I let out a gruff laugh as I noticed a set of apartments coming into view soon she would be home and I would have to head back to my hot-headed mother. "You can call me Katsuki, Eijirou already does so…" I scratched the back of my ear as she let out a cute little giggle. Her perfect pink lips turn into an adorable pout.

"What? Did I say stupid? " I look up flustered which only caused her to break out into a fit of giggles as the melodic sound of her laughter filled my ears. Warming my heart no matter how much of an idiot I must look to her right now. "That's not fair if I call you Katsuki then you have to call me by my first name. It only seems fair."

I laughed but nodded my head, soon I was standing in front of her door and I couldn't bring myself to walk away not yet. I can't let it end like this so before I knew it. I started to lean forward as Uraraka bag started to slip off of my shoulder. My lips were inches from hers, I could practically feel her soft lips as I bridge the gap.

Letting my lips come crashing on her soft and gentle lips as they began to intertwine, at that moment I felt an eternally at peace and when we both pulled away I could feel her panting heavily under me. "I'll see you tomorrow in class Ochako." I waved cooly to her before walking off, even as I made it back down the road I knew that she was probably still standing there awestruck.

Now that is how you end the day, I smile to myself as happiness burned in every part of my body. I felt like I am on cloud 9 that was till I noticed that there is an obstacle in my path. Standing there with curly black and green unkempt hair and a burning rage glowing in his bright green eyes. Was none other then Deku?

What the hell is his problem now I so didn't have time for this, so I kept walking just going around him. Or at least that was the plan till his right hand gripped tightly to my arm. Tightening his grip a little to tight for my liking. Forcing my body to react before I could think about it. I had swung out into the air slamming hard into his body forcing a light explosion to go off.

Even as the black smoke filled the air I could hear the wheezing coming from the little nerd as he sat in the dirt. Staring up at me with hatred in his eyes. "I don't know what you are planning on doing with Uraraka but I won't let you use her to get to me" Really is he that conceded that I can't hang with her just for me.

"Whatever! Don't get in my way again Deku or I won't be as nice!" I couldn't believe he managed to ruin my joy. Damn him, I continued to walk as I growled lowly under my breath. I can't believe he thought so low of me that I would use her to get to him. As if he is that important.
