Chapter 17 - Dominant

Bakugo

"That bastard will pay for what he did yesterday, but before that..."

I walked out of my room and waited a moment to calm my nerves. There's a monster inside me that's ready to explode, but I want to handle this properly.

"I'd better find out what punishment that cow got."

If Deku gets a harsh punishment, it will be because of me. This shouldn't be happening.

***

As I was walking towards the dormitory's garden, I saw Deku coming out of the school gate.

I walked towards Deku as fast as I could and finally got to him, I couldn't see his face as his back was turned to me. Instead of his school uniform, he was wearing one of his All Might t-shirts that he always wore.

When I finally reached him, I grabbed him shoulder and turned him to face me. I noticed the tears running down his face, I realized he was crying. Apparently, he had been scolded badly.

When he saw me, his eyes widened and he pushed my hand away from his shoulder and took a few steps away from me.

"Kac-Bakugo what are you doing here?"

He haphazardly wiped away the tears that were all over his face.

"What am I doing here? You seem to have forgotten what happened yesterday."

"..."

"Aren't you going to answer? After everything you've done."

"But you gave me no choice, and I played by your rules. You were the one who wanted to fight."

"OF COURSE O WANTED TO FIGHT, HOW ELSE COULD I GET ONE FOR ALL?"

"But you still didn't get One For All. Did you?"

If he keeps getting on my nerves like this, last night will happen again.

"I may not have gotten it, but it will be mine."

"No you can't, have you forgotten the deal we made yesterday?"

"What the hell are you talking about, a deal?"

He looked at me in surprise, then crossed his arms over his chest.

What was he talking about?

My body went rigid as I remembered what had happened. That's right, we had made a deal... And he won.

What do you mean, am I supposed to stay away from him until I graduate from school? Nonsense, he won't go that far, will he?

"I understand that you want to not give One For All, but why do you want me to stay away from you?"

"I want you to stay away from me because you're only hurting me. Look at what happened, I got suspended and almost expelled from school because of you.If it hadn't been for the first days of school, my punishment wouldn't have been just suspension. Tell me why would I want to keep you around when you're so annoying?"

I could feel the tiny explosions in my hands. He was practically begging me to die; one more wrong word and he wouldn't make it out of school alive.

"WHO WOULD WANT TO STAY WITH A COW LIKE YOU? YOU ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ME."

"A LOT OF PEOPLE, BAKUGO, A LOT OF PEOPLE. JUST STAY AWAY FROM ME"

LOT OF PEOPLE, FUCK. WHO WANTS TO BE FRIENDS WITH THIS SHIT? IT SEEMS THAT I NEED TO REMIND YOU OF WHAT REALLY YOU ARE.

MY NERVE LEVEL HAS CROSSED THE RED LINE RIGHT NOW AND HE STILL ANSWERS WITHOUT FEAR. IT APPEARS THAT THIS ASSHOLE HAS LEARNED COURAGE SINCE HE HAD ONE FOR ALL.

"GIVE ME A REASON WHY I SHOULD NOT KILL YOU?"

"Do the best you can, Bakugo."

"HAAA? YOU ARE SERIOUSLY TRYING TO DIE."

I grabbed him shoulder hard and pushed him against the wall. He pushed my arm away from him and looked at me the way he looked at me last night.

We were just looking at each other, but these looks were a battle for dominance and I had no intention of losing.

"Don't forget who's the villager and who's the king, Deku."
