warning(s): its kinda depressing, angst, smut, fwb, drugs (not too much)

‘when is it ok to steal something?’ - bakugo katsuki x (fem)reader

you didn’t know when you started noticing it all. but you did, whether you liked it or not. the way that the newspaper cut outs would hang lazily off his dull yellow walls, the gravity forcing them to bend over like worshipers. or the way that the green big grenades on his desk were more roughed up than you were with the drugs in your system. or the way that his left calloused hand was always so tightly held onto your waist, leaving bruises for the next day as memories, while his right robotic one barely ghosted your skin, as if he was trying not to accept the truth. 

but the biggest thing you noticed was how empty everything was inside of him. you believed that you didn’t have any choice but to notice these things, because you were constantly only being fucked doggy style, never to face him and only the blank sheets beneath you. or maybe because it was to distract you from the cold droplets of water that would rain onto your back in small amounts. he always cried and maybe that’s why he never wanted you to face him, to never see how his tears pulled out his broken soul for you to see.

it was always like this, and each time, you would never get closer. you’d meet him in the parking lot near your apartment. it was a big and lonely parking lot, the streetlamps barely working as they flicked on and off, like the universe was sending you a morse code. he would always be ten minutes late no matter what time you would reach. maybe it was because he wanted to guarantee your existence, to know that you’ll be there waiting for him, like he was scared that if he showed his eagerness, it would make you run away.

was he even eager to ever meet you? you wouldn’t really care, not because he was a good fuck and gave good prices for your drugs, but because you couldn’t. he was always a mirage, there for you to see but not touch and despite how hard he would rut his hips against your ass, he could never be close enough to capture.

there was never any time for ‘talking’. he always got straight to the point once he picked you up. smoking a few blunts in his living room before taking off both of your clothes and proceeding to his bedroom. neither of you would ever mutter a word yet you both knew what each other wanted. it was a ritual now. you always picked the easiest clothes to take off, not even bothering to wear a bra, and he liked it that way. most boys would, they’d find it hot and alluring, always aroused with how you planned to get down. but bakugo liked it because it meant he would spend less time close to you. it would mean he would have to use his prosthetic arm less.

you felt like you knew nothing about him. or maybe you knew too much to be true. the news paper cut outs would be all about the pro-heroes’ stories. deku, uravity, red riot, grand and many more. but most of them were about all-might. at first, you would’ve thought that he was just a fan boy and loved to keep track on the hero society. but the more times you came over and looked at them, the more you realised that they were pinned up so wrong. they were hung with sorrow and regret, pins in the wrong positions like he was playing darts while drunk. why did he do that? why did he pin them up with more pain than joy? was he actually drunk or was his past controlling his future?

it was amusing to you, the way he would make you feel so good and satisfied yet so lost and yearning. you weren’t even yearning something for yourself, rather for him. no matter how hard or how longed you yearned, you could never understand what it was for, and neither did he. of course, you never asked him about it, because the first few times you did, either you were told to leave or he would just straight up ignore you.

however, this night was different. you were going to hold your ground against him and find out the truth, because while it felt so good to be filled by his warm actions, it was all so empty and felt like there was no purpose as time went on. maybe this new found confidence was due to having the pro-hero deku walk by you on the street during patrol, or maybe because you wanted to desperately know what was on the photo frame that he always put down before giving into your urges.

“katsuki!” you moaned softly, moaning as he pressed a searing hot kiss against your neck, smoke gliding out of his mouth and tickling your chin as his hands massaged your ass.

you had gotten to the use of the cold metal of his prosthetic hand against your skin, in fact you found it slightly pleasing of the contrast in temperatures of both of his hands. maybe that’s why he kept you around; you were the only one who accepted him like that without questioning it. you couldn’t care to question it, you were a quirkless girl in a quirk filled world, nothing was shocking anymore. besides, you found it kind of cool. if only you knew how cursing it was.

the night was hot and urgent, the both of you were tearing each other’s clothes as you sat atop his lap on the sofa in the living room. the cheap material of the sofa dug into your knees as you grinded against his hard and restrained boner, moaning against his cheek, not caring for the sweat that accumulated on his forehead. you both had never kissed. it was one of the two rules that he had put from his side. no kissing, and no facing him. you had respected them as he respected yours, but the time you both spent together wanted you to be a rebel and break down those walls.

you giggled softly, the feeling of your high running through your body like silk on freshly shaven skin overriding your usual thoughts and stresses as you heard the familiar tear of your panties, a rough mark being left behind on your skin.

“you’re giving me the next 10 grams free, that was expensive, katsuki” you whispered, tugging on his hair as he growled softly at your name, leaving rough kisses against your collarbone and breasts.

katsuki liked having you around. you didn’t talk too much, didn’t question the mess of his room and silently adored his prosthetic arm, no matter how much he hated it. you were simple and not demanding yet you could pull out so many explicit moans from him. but the most important part is that you didn’t push about the tears that always seemed to find their way onto your bare back. you were comforting, almost too comforting that at times it alarmed the scared animal in his heart.

after sharing a few more rounds of blunts and hickeys, you felt the familiar nudge of his arms, his signal to tell you to go on all fours, never to face him for the rest of the night. but something inside of you stirred up, almost like you were being controlled from an outside force. you found your hands pinning his against the backrest of the sofa, a confused look shooting through his red eyes, his blonde eyebrows furrowing underneath his matching hair.

he moved to speak up but you cut him off, “please, just for tonight. i promise, i won’t judge, just please.”

you didn’t realise you were closing your eyes tight until you saw the sudden intrusion of red and blonde in your vision once his gruff answer snapped them open.

“why?”

least to say, bakugo was nervous. he had never felt this nervous since his surgery day. he couldn’t even believe you made him nervous, it was so stupid to him. his younger self wouldn’t be as nauseous as he is now, but then again, lots had changed and he wasn’t like him anymore.

“your face is just so pretty, i wonder how much prettier it gets with tears falling down” you muttered, holding his face in your palms as your thumbs brushed his cheekbones.

you were so close to him, much to close for his liking. well at first, it was too close, but he soon recognized the spike in his heart was the fact that he was exhilarated by your statement. he knew that you knew he cried, and he felt too ashamed to show you. but there was no hiding now, there was no point.

despite the soft blush that adorned his cheeks and the furrowing of his brows, he kept his face the same. it was like he had the inability to change his face, like he was wearing those clay face masks that would restrict movement. it was the expression of when you get laid-off from a job that you worked so hard for and was praised by your bosses for.

you nearly thought that you ruined the night as he backed his face out of your hands, his eyes looking elsewhere. now it was your turn to be nervous. the air was so still, unlike his red eyes as they tried to look for something to lock onto, to anchor him and help him make his decision.

“fine” was all you heard before you felt him lift you up slightly, aiding him and standing on your knees as he shifted his sweatpants and boxers down, his eyes still not on yours.

you couldn’t comprehend what happened, not only because of how surprising his reaction was, but because of how less time he gave you before slipping his cock into your wet hole. the action was so simple yet so satisfying, just like you.

“katsuki!” you moaned loudly, your fingers going over the small scars that littered around his undercut till they reached his blonde top, pulling on them.

it was hot and desperate, the way that he would quickly get to work on your nipples as he would thrust up into you and how you would roll against his hips, tugging on his hair and nipping on his ears. you fully understood how much you had been missing out on, how close it finally felt. the way that his arms would snake up against your back, pulling your chest closer to his face, even managing to angle his cock deeper. there was just one bridge left to cross and it was the man himself below you.

he was thankful for how loud your moans were to cover up his sniffles, and it was an odd feeling as his cold tears raced down your chest to your belly rather than on your back. and like before, you weren’t going to ignore this.

and like before, it didn’t feel like they were your actions as you had tugged his face up, connecting his lips to yours before he could say anything to stray you away. his lips were chapped and motionless against yours and you tasted the saltiness of his tears that had reached the cavern. it was so hot yet empty, just like him.

“what the fuck, y/n?” he asked, the nature of the words contrasting from how soft his voice was and how tired his eyes looked.

neither of you noticed how both of you stopped, the lust gone just like the rules that you had broken. if you could describe his face in terms of a colour, it would be grey. it was so sullen, tear marked and conflicting, just like thunderstorms.

“who are you, bakugo katsuki?” you asked, hands gracing his bare collarbones as you searched his face for answers. but it wasn’t like you were going to find any, because there weren’t any. hopefully one day though, you could make some for him, or at least he hoped that.

he completely ignored your question, sighing softly as he rested his forehead on your chest, not bothering to clear up his eyes.

“tell me, y/n, when is it okay to steal something?”

when was it okay to steal something? maybe it was okay when people got what they wanted through injustice manners. or maybe if it was something needed for an emergency, of course not that the cost of others. but then again what was stealing? poets would call it love, judges would call it a crime, thieves would call it a life.

you had so many answers that you didn’t want to say any, because what if the other was a better choice? so you stayed quiet, letting him fill the silence this time.

“tell me, y/n, when was it okay to steal my parents? when was it okay to steal my arm? when was it okay to steal my fucking life?”

the pain that rippled through your body was enough to ignore the snot and the buckets of tears that fell down your chest. in fact, it was too much, making your own eyes water, your hands instinctively rubbing his warm and firm back. who was he? the answer was too broad. too complicated. too scarring. it was all about him and nothing about him.

you didn’t mind the way that he gripped your arms, because the bruises would be nothing compared to what he went through. so, you pulled him close to you, letting him shake against you and cry against your neck.

bakugo didn’t know why he was opening up to someone like you. you both were just supposed to be fuck buddies, nothing else, and yet you had broken him down, and he fell voluntarily. maybe it was because of your quirklessness, or how observant and patient you were with him. but like many other unknown answers that night, it couldn’t matter to him, because you understood or at least wanted to. he needed you.

he needed a reason to live again.

DEATH CITY DAYS CHAPTER 74

after the stain incident, its going to take a while to come down from the chaos

[[cont from part 73]]

Stain: *leaps over the ice wall at Todoroki* Iida: "..." *Time seems to freeze...* Iida: ("...Ingenium...would protect his friends...Not have them bleed in front of him...This is like before...") {Iida: *kicks down a robot*} {ochako: ....!! } {Iida: *turns--to see the largest robot* "!!!" ("I can't hope to attack it. Time to depart--")} {student: *about to get crushed* *wince*} {Iida: "!!!" *runs past the student*} {student: !!! ah-} {izuku: *MEGAPUNCHES THE ROBOT* O-O } {Iida: "!!! Such power--from that awkwardly walking scrawny student from earlier?"} -...- {tensei: you want to become a hero too, tenya?} {Tenya: *nods, motioning his hand* "Yes! Will you teach me how?"} {tensei: well, it does run in the family, so i guess it's to be expected. its really simple, actually. people who find a lost child and take them to a help desk to find their family, i always thought people like that were the coolest.} {Tenya: "...But you didn't work to find lost children?"} {tensei: ^-^; that's too literal, makes me wonder if you really are a robot. *hair ruffle* you're a lot smarter than i was when i was 10, better reflexes too.} {Tenya: "..." .\\\. } {tensei: you look up to me that much? guess that makes me a great hero or something. *smiles*} Iida: ("...He was right...That murderer was right...I'm nothing like Midoriya and Todoroki...I'm a novice...") Todoroki: *keeps blasting ice--* Stain: *but he's up against him now --* Todoroki: "!!!" ("Too close--can't dodge--") Stain: *swings the blade, landing right at Todoroki's armpit--* Todoroki: "!!!" *Foot to the head* Stain: *knocked back* Todoroki: "..." Iida: *standing...huffing...holding his shoulder* ("Despite it all...a hero stands up!") izuku: iida! Iida: ("Not again...Never again...will anyone, not my brother, not them, will leave me in the dust!") "Recipro...BURST!" Stain: *blocking with his arm--* *CRUNCH* Stain: "Ah!" *holds his own--and slices at Iida* Iida: "No!" *kick--* *CRACK* *The portion of Stain's blade flies up and lands right at Izuku's feet* izuku: O-O;;; meep. Todoroki: "...The Hero Killer's blood quirk hardly lasts. Not so great--" Iida: "Enough to stop me..." Todoroki: "..." Iida: "I'm sorry. Both of you had no reason to get involved--" izuku: iida... Iida: "--because I refuse to let you lose any more blood." Stain: "..." *tosses his blade* "You tumors." izuku: ?? Stain: "...on society, a cancer spreading to warp the concept of 'hero' into a system to support your own selfish desires. Someone needs to correct this system..." Todoroki: "...Take your radical fundamentalist nonsense and shove it." Iida: "No. I...can't call myself a hero..." *Blood drips from Iida's shoulder* Iida: *clenches his fist* "But even if I can't be one yet...I can't let his words break me...or else Ingenium will really die..." Stain: "..." *rushes forward* Todoroki: *fire-blast, directly at Stain* native: just run! it's me and iida he wants! just get out of here! Todoroki: "It won't work: he's got a taste, now he's fired up to take us all out...And he hides in shadows because he's too weak against multiple opponents. Even with his tenacity, we might scare him off--" Iida: "Right!" *tries to fire up--* "No! My engine...Todoroki, how can you control temperatures?" Todoroki: "Not as well with fire." Iida: "Good--because I need your ice. Freeze my leg! Without blocking the exhaust!" Todoroki: "?!" Stain: *leaps, tosses a knife* Iida: "!!! Todoroki!" Todoroki: "!!!" *sees the knife coming at him--* *SHNK* Iida: *knocked to the street--as the blade lands through his arm* Todoroki: "Iida--!" izuku: IIDA! Iida: "DO IT!" izuku: *examining the area* (i think i can get two jumps in...) Todoroki: "..." *lays a hand along Iida's leg* Iida: *grabs the blade's handle with his knee--and pulls* *screams muffled by the blade* izuku: *starts running* Iida: ("I will give up this arm...because what I need--") izuku: *jumps up* *wincing* (i can worry about the leg later, right now, what i need....) Todoroki: "...Go! Now!" *fires one last blast* Iida: "My legs!" izuku: (my fists!) Stain: "!!!" Iida + Izuku: "All I need!" Stain: *punched and kicked, then flame-broiled* izuku: *wince* (sore...but my arm isnt broken...) Stain: "..." *LOUD SCREAM, his fist heading to Izuku's face* izuku: !!! Iida: "Duck!" *slams his foot right into Stain's mouth* izuku: *doing so* -KO- Iida: "Be defeated, like the criminal you are, by the hero I am!" *falling--and can't land* izuku: *flailing* OH FRICK! *An ice slide appears* izuku: woah! *Iida and Izuku slide down--* *CRASH* Iida: "Ow!" izuku: you ok? wait, he- *looks up at the unconscious stain*..... 0_____________0;;;; oh craaaaaaap i think we killed him! Todoroki: "...No. I can feel his heartbeat along the ice..." -a while later, after they met up with the pros- gran torino: honestly, what were ya thinking, running off like that?! Izuku: "Gran Torino, sir! I'm happy to--" -SCREEEAWWWW- gran torino: !!! EVERYONE GET DOWN!! Izuku: "!!! A Nomu!" winged nomu: *grabs izuku and flies up* Stain: "..." *"unconscious"* gran torino: !!! winged nomu: *looks at izuku* d....e...k........u..... *Blood drips from the Nomu onto a hero's face* Izuku: "?!!! How..." hero: what the he- *LIIIIIIIICK* hero: .__________________________. i need all the showers. -the winged nomu falls to the ground- Stain: "Got you." Todoroki: "!!! He escaped!" winged nomu: *looks at izuku* ...d....de....k....uuu..... Izuku: "How do you know my name..." Stain: *running to where Nomu and Izuku are* Iida: "Midoriya!" winged nomu: d...dek- *STAB* winged nomu: *SCREEEEEEEE* Izuku: "!!! No!" Stain: "This society...full of crime..." -the winged nomu twitches violently.....then goes still- -two onlookers observe from the water tower- tomura: *scritch scritch* why...why is that jerk killing the nomu? why are those brats there? this isnt fair....isnt fair isnt fair isnt fair isnt fair..... *scratching so hard he is bleeding slightly* Kurogiri: "Now may be time to retreat--" -on the ground- Endeavor: "Why are you all over there?!" *doesn't see Nomu yet* gran torino: !! Hero #2: "You finished, sir?" Endeavor: "More or less. I had it rough. Shoto! What the hell are you--" *looks to the right* "...What the fuck is that?" Stain: *grabs Izuku's neck* Izuku: "!!!!" gran torino: !!! Endeavor: "Hero Killer!" *summons a flame* gran torino: WAIT! Izuku: *turns, stares hard at Stain* Stain: "...You fake..." *Something falls to the sidewalk* -they all stand frozen with shock- *From a nearby balcony* Bystander: "...You seeing this?" *recording on their phone* person: y-yeah! holy fuckin' shit.... *Stain stands, drooling...his nose is missing* Stain: "If I don't fix this..." Todoroki: "!!!" ("My body...I can't move...") gran torino: (w-what the hell?!) Stain: "...even if that means I'm stained with blood..." Iida: *falls back* Stain: "If I don't reclaim my hero status..." *stomps his foot down* Izuku: "!!!" gran torino: !!!!! Stain: "Come at me! Try it...you fakes! There is only one allowed to kill me..." Endeavor: "..." Stain: "AND HE. IS. ALL MIGHT! THE TRUE HERO!" eiko:....*snaps picture.....grin* *The tension is felt throughout--then stops* Izuku: *blinks* "...???" Todoroki: "..." Iida: *shakes slightly* Endeavor: "This guy...He's...out cold?" Stain: *frozen...his blade drops from his hand* Todoroki: "..." *falls back* -the next morning- Izuku: -_- "Ow..." nurse: sirs? you have visitors. manual: hey. gran torino: *grumble* Izuku: "S-Sir!" Iida: "Mr-Mr..." tsurugamae: hello. Iida: "Police Chief Tsurugamae..." Izuku: ._. tsurugamae: so you three are the ones who stopped the hero killer, right? Iida: "..." Todoroki: "..." Izuku: ._. tsurugamae: seems he ruffed you up. but it seems you ruffed him up as well. burns, broken ribs, and other serious injuries. Iida: "..." *holds his arm* Todoroki: *stares* tsurugamae: while quirks have existed for a long time, the phenomenon of 'heroes' is still a fairly recent phenomenon in the past hundred or so years. however, it doesnt negate the fact that such powers have the potential to kill. Izuku: "..." ("He's reviewing such a long history that I know...but in the heat of battle...") tsurugamae: those who do not have permission, inflicting harm without the say of the authorities and powers that be, even if they were to face someone like the hero killer, would be going against the law. the six of you, you three and your mentors, will have to be dealt with. Todoroki: "Hold on." Iida: "!!! Todoroki--" Todoroki: "Had Iida not intervened, Native would have died. Had Midoriya died, both of them would've died." Izuku: o_o; Todoroki: "No one knew the Hero Killer was here. Should we have let them die, all in the name of _your_ law?" tsurugamae: ...you still have much to learn about the world, young man. Todoroki: "...You dog--" Iida + Izuku: "WOAH!" gran torino: SETTLE DOWN! Todoroki: "..." tsurugamae: *unfazed* that...is what im obligated to tell you as chief of police. Izuku: "???" tsurugamae: the question is, do we make this incident public? if we do so, while you will be lauded by the public, you wont be able to avoid punishment. Iida: "..." tsurugamae: but if we keep this under wraps, then the burns he received will support the evidence that endeavour was the key factor in his capture. fortunately there weren’t many witnesses to the incident. and those who _have_ witnessed can be bribed to keep silent. but if we were to do that, your achievements in this battle will be swept under the rug. so what will it be? Iida: "..." *bows to Manual* "I am sorry, sir." manual: Y-Y it was our fault for letting you go off like that, so we'll take the blame. gran torino: *grumble* Izuku: *bows* "Thank you, sir." Todoroki: -\\\\- "...My remark was completely out of line and bigoted. I'm sorry, Police Chief." tsurugamae: not to worry, its not the first time i've heard it, hoho. -elsewhere- tomura: ugh...so annoying.... himiko: so cool~<3 Dabi: "...He almost fried Endeavor..." tomura: the media didnt even care about the nomu. ahhh it pisses me off so much... Kurogiri: "Maybe it's not all bad..." *holds up an article* "It was reported...on Page 2." tomura:.......aaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!!!! *flips a table* twice: wow, salty much? tomura:.................................................im going to take a nap. *slams the door, causing a framed poster to fall* fang: ga? himiko: so cool, right fangy? fang: *babble* Dabi: "...Hmm..." -at the hospital- izuku: iida? Iida: "...Yes?" izuku: how did it go? Iida: "...My left hand...my have permanent damage." izuku: !!!! (first his eyes...now this....?) Iida: "He...severed the brachial plexus nerve. I might regain most feeling and use of my hand and fingers with a nerve transplant." izuku: ..... Iida: "When I found him, my mind went blank. I should have done as Manual said...and the Killer was not completely wrong about my failure to uphold the standards we as heroes must have...Therefore, until I become a true hero, my left hand should be a reminder." izuku:....*looks at his scarred hand* iida. *offers fist bumb* then lets get stronger together. Iida: "..." *smiles* Todoroki: "Sorry..." izuku: ?? Todoroki: "Whenever I"m involved...people's hands are damaged. I'm cursed." izuku:....*chuckles* Iida: "Hee hee..." Todoroki: ._____. "...I'm not joking?" izuku: ^^; Todoroki: "What if I'm the Hand Crusher?" Iida: *laughing hard* "I-I think we found your superhero name!" izuku: *laughs so hard milk comes out his nose* O///x///.; Todoroki: "..." *grabs his phone* "I'll get you some tissues..." *exits* -somewhere, in death city- thug: so whacha got for me? Giran: *holds up his phone* thug:...is that a bunny phone case? Giran: -_-# "Watch the damn video." *presses play* thug: ? Video: "Hero Killer Stain. Real name: Chizome Akaguro. Impressed by All Might's debut, he sought to be a hero. Upset at school over the 'corrupt view of heroes within the educational system,' he dropped out after his first year." thug: so? Giran: "IT'S NOT DONE! WHAT, YOU GOT SOMETHING ELSE TO DO?!" thug: oxo; Video: "He would spend his teen years standing on a soapbox at the public square, insisting on the need for a 'hero revivial,' until he realized 'words fail without power.' For 10 years, he trained himself in the art of killing." woman in video: i cant believe XXXXX would become a hero killer, how frightening... Video: "According to Akaguro, a 'hero' must not seek reward or recompense except through tireless self-sacrifice. 'Only by purging society can this truth emerge,' he printed in his own 'zine." *The video now shows footage of Stain against the Heroes--* Stain on video: "--'stained with blood--'" thug: .... Giran: "Look at this...10,000 hits. And this is at least the fifth time it's been uploaded." thug: shit....
