Why You, Why Me? Chapter 7: Turmoil

“DUDE! It’s HER!” Kaminari had called Kirishima and Bakugou in a confeeence call the minute he left the store.

“Who’s ‘her?'” Kirishima had asked.

“Y/N!” Kaminari yelled, almost jumping down the phone with excitement.

Bakugou nearly dropped the phone when he heard your name. “Where is she?!” He demanded.

“She works at the corner store around from the school!” Kaminari said, excitement still very evident in his voice.

“Well did she say anything about me?!” Bakugou asked. Trying not to sound eager but failing.

Kaminari’s face fell. “Nah dude sorry, she didn’t even really recognize me.” He said sadly.

Bakugou snorted through the phone. “That’s because you don’t matter! She would definitely recognize me.” He puffed his chest out confidently. “I’ll see her tomorrow.”

“I’ll come too!” Kirishima added, jumping in at the last minute.

“Make that three then.” Kaminari chuckled. “I want to be there when Bakugou comes face to face with his girlfriend.”

“She’s not my fucking girlfriend, dunce face, I don’t even care about her.” Bakugou snapped. That was a lie. He did care. He just didn’t want to acknowledge it. “I’m going. Bye.”

And with that he hung up.

“What do you think dude?” Kaminari asked Kirishima. “Do you think she will remember him?”

“Well they swapped bodies for a long time so I’m guessing she would! She knows his body better than any of us.”

“That’s true.” Kaminari mused. “Well I guess we’ll see tomorrow then.”

…………

The fated day came and Bakugou waited Impatiently for school to end. “Why is this day taking so fucking LONG.” He thought, tapping his pen angrily against his desk and glancing at the clock again.
Time was slowing down. Well that’s what it felt like for him.

He glanced at the door, signaling his desire to leave but he couldn’t go anywhere.

Finally the bell rang and he stood abruptly, marching out the door and grabbing his bag from the locker before heading out the front door. Kaminari and Kirishima scrambled to keep up, bags and books flying everywhere as they chased Bakugou down the hall.

“Where’s this store?” Bakugou asked abruptly, not looking at either Kaminari or Kirishima.

“It’s this way, just keep walking dude.” Kaminari encouraged, falling into step just behind and a little to the side of him. Kirishima was on the other side.

All too soon they reached the store and Bakugou felt his nerves straining. He gritted his teeth and balled his fists to try and keep the anxiety at bay. He hadn’t really thought of anything to say to you but he pushed the door open anyway, walking in purposefully with his chest out.

You looked up at the boy trio and recognized Kaminari from the day before. “Bought your boyfriend’s I see?” You quipped playfully.

Bakugou marched over to you and leaned down on the counter looking you dead in the eye. “Oi.” He growled. You looked his face over, knitting your brows in concentration. You had seen this guy before…. you tilted your head and squinted at him. His brilliant red eyes piercing your soul. Then it happened.

A fuzzy feeling came over you and you could feel yourself staring blankly. You tried to speak but you couldn’t and your consciousness slowly slipped as you fell into a seizure.

You blacked.

………………

“Y/N? Y/N are you ok??” Your mum called to you. You opened your eyes and blinked at her. Looking past her around the room.

“Where am I?” You asked groggily.

“You’re at the hospital sweetheart you had a seizure.” She said softly, placing a hand on your arm.

You thought back to what happened just before you blacked out and all you could remember was two red eyes staring at you.

“Those boys!” You said looking up at your mum. “I was at the store and they had just walked in….”

“Yes love, they called for help. I got their numbers so you could thank them if you liked.” She smiled at you.

“Thanks Mum.” You said smiling back.

She handed you a piece of paper with three names and numbers on it and you read the names aloud. “Kaminari, Kirishima and Bakugou… that last name on the list sounds so familiar.” You said, frowning in thought.

You sent them all a message that night to thank then for calling for help and they all responded courteously except for Bakugou. Who just sent back. “Whatever.”

“Rude.” You thought. “I wonder which one he was? He was either the red headed guy or the one with the brilliant red eyes.”

You sat there pulling forth the image of his face. His brilliant red eyes staring into your soul. His masculine features and sharp blond spikey hair. He was definitely good looking but his personality seemed a little arrogant.

You felt another strange fuzzy sensation and slipped under again, monitors beeping wildly.

………..

Bakugou was a mixture of pissed and elated. It was you alright! But you didn’t seem to recognize him. How dare you not recognize the guy you had swapped bodies with for 9 months. Or did you not care? Was that it? You had found someone better and just opted to ignore his very existence? He couldn’t fathom the thought.

Why did he care though? You were just a quirkless nobody. You didn’t even have a hot body. He certainly wasn’t happy to have found you again… or was he? Were you ok? Why did he even care?!

His emotions were in a blender.

Stirred and agitated.

They simmered slightly though when he received a message from you thanking him for his help. “She SHOULD be thanking me. I saved her.” He had thought with a smirk. Sending you back a very curt reply before tossing his phone on the bed.

Why did he feel a pang of hurt though? Was he hoping to have continued to see you. Was he hoping you would have thrown yourself into his arms and told him you had missed him?

Had he missed you??? You bet he had but he wasn’t about to admit that! That was a sign of weakness!
