The second part of the training was placed in the Ruins Zone. Katsuki, once more, remained looking straight at me like some kind of maniac while we were waiting for our teachers to continue the class. He got the chance to be right at my side, so it was easier for him to stare at my figure.

It was awkward as fuck.

'B-But what the hell...' Some sweat drops were running down my forehead, I didn't like being observed, and even less when it was like that. 'Did I do something wrong, or what? I don't understand why he keeps doing this...'

The only answer I could give to that weird behavior was that he wanted vengeance due to the fact I embarrassed him in front of everybody a few minutes ago. He was only staring at me looking for some inspiration about what he could do as revenge... That, or he was just directly rehearsing his deathly stare to see if it would work with me.

'Katsuki's giving me chills...' I complained, still sensing his fiery crimson orbs on me. 'Don't look at him, (f/n), don't enter into his game, keep your head straight forward, he deserved that, he was the one who started it all...' I tried as much as I could not to let my curiosity win this round.

"Alright, kids, pay attention to me!" Thirteen called us. "The purpose of this scenario is to give a more genuine experience! The injured can be anywhere and we don't know in what state they may be." He said. "You'll have eight minutes to spread out and four of you will be the rescuers. The other seventeen must hide in whichever place they wish, but I'll select eight of the hidden and those may not speak." The pro hero explained quickly.

'Finally! This time I can be one of those four rescuers!' I said to myself with excitement, sighing in relief because I had another chance before the training was over. I could feel how the determination that just died before was starting to come back to life again.

"Okay, the four that will search are..."

'Say my name, say my naaaame~'

"... Bakugou, Mineta, Uraraka and Midoriya!"

'BUT WHY THE WORLD TREATS ME THIS BAD!?'

When Thirteen announced the four rescuers and my name wasn't between them, it made me scream internally and want to rip my hair off. Again, I had to play the injured person role and to make it worse, Katsuki was one more time one of the saviors.

'WHY THE FUCK IS THIS FUCKING WALKING-GRENADE A RESCUER AGAIN!? WHAT DOES HE HAVE THAT I DON'T!?'

Hah, but we're not finished there.

To top it all, I was also chosen to be one of those eight that weren't able to speak. That meant that I had to play a boring role, similar to the previous one.

'BIIITCH!! BUT WHAT DID I DO WRONG!?'

I'm going to be an unlucky shit for the rest of my life, that's for sure.

"HAAAHH!? WHY DO I HAVE TO DO IT WITH DEKU!?"

Suddenly, Katsuki's yells of complaint reached my ears, though it didn't take me by surprise. This time, the King of Explodo-Kills leveled up and had to collaborate with his Deku.

However, in my case, I decided it was best to accept defeat and instead of wasting time with something that had no remedy, occupy my thoughts with the search of a place I could hide well...

I took a quick look at my surroundings to come up with an idea, but I was so damn unlucky that while I scanning the zone, my (e/c) eyes encountered those red ones I had been trying to avoid since we arrived there.

'Shit.' I cursed internally; all my hard work was for nothing, I caught Katsuki's gaze on me once more.

However, even if the way his eyes stared at my figure was still awkward, this time it was far different from before: he seemed as if he were trying to figure out what I was thinking.

'Why is he looking at me... like that?'

I thought I was going to get killed by the ferocious gaze of the hot-headed boy, but instead of that, I found a pair of eyes that were revealing something that I was sure their owner wouldn't like me to know.

'H-He's going to look only for me... right?' I said to myself with a hint of fear.

A chill ran through all my body, I didn't realize that Katsuki and me had high probabilities of ending up inside an isolated and destroyed building, far from the attention of our teachers and classmates.

The male kept staring at me, making me feel even odder. Suddenly, I found quite difficult to keep locked my eyes with his. It felt as if they were saying that he was planning on waiting for me to be alone inside one of those destroyed buildings to take advantage of the situation.

I could feel how my cheeks became warm. It had been a long time since that problematic boy and me were alone together, and to be honest, I wasn't prepared for it at all.

'(F/n), calm down, please...' I ordered to myself as I cupped my face with my hands, feeling a bit nervous.

His expression didn't show any emotion apart from his characteristic frown, it was the typical Katsuki. Although, all the time I had spent with him has helped me to learn how I should interpret even the smallest gesture...

"Are you ready? You can hide now!" Thirteen sensei informed, instantly making the injured students spread around.

'I think I know a good place...' I said to myself, turning my head around a bit while I was running, only to find the boy watching how I was getting away, and somehow confirming my suspicions about the fact that he would only care to find me.

'No one is going to find me there...'

- - - - -

Thanks to my Super-Speed quirk, in a blink of an eye, I was already in front of my hiding spot. The same building where Kurogiri sent me through one of his portals the day the villains kidnapped us was the place I had thought of.

'Let's go...' I gulped, trying not to remember the ungraceful events that took place there.

I pushed the cracked door cautiously, not wanting to break it more than it was, and without further delay, I entered inside. I took a look at my surroundings, looking for the stairs to go up to the next floor. It was true that the building was hard to find in the first place, but in case some explosion-boy had the great idea of coming there, he wouldn't find me so easily right in the ground floor.

It was just that... I didn't want to be in the same place as him all alone. I wasn't prepared for more emotional burden. Because every time this man is involved, there is some emotional shit that threatens my security and mental stability. That's why I decided to go to the top floor and hide there.

'H-He's not going to find me.' I thought, trying to convince myself.

I used my Super-Speed quirk again to reach there. The floor was as unstable as the last time, and I couldn't allow myself the luxury of having high probabilities of falling. There wasn't any Katstupid Bakahoe to be used as a pillow to cushion my whack.

So, as soon as I got there, I sat down carefully and leaned my upper body against the broken wall, waiting until the end of the trial.

I left my eyes half opened and sighed in relax. "This place is quite far from where our teachers are. I think nobody hid near here..." I commented aloud, hoping that no one had taken the same direction as me. "Aaah... To think I've ended up as the injured one again..." I couldn't help but sigh in defeat, rubbing my temples to help me to forget it. "Dammit, this is boring."

I planned on remaining there in that position until the training was over. I wanted to return to the main zone all proud because nobody was able to find me.

And so, there I was, sensing how the time was passing and nobody had appeared there yet. I didn't even hear any footsteps or similar. It was the perfect scenario to make me sink into my own thoughts...

'I can't believe Katsuki and Shouto got into an argument because they wanted to save me... And in front of everybody!' I facepalmed, remembering how I wanted to die at that moment. 'If we're talking about Shouto, I understand it, since he has saved me many times already and also said he would do it as much as needed...' A sheepish smile was adorning my face when I realized that it was actually true, again wondering how I could be that lucky. 'But... if it's Katsuki...'

I trailed off in the middle of the sentence; I couldn't go on with what I was going to say, thousands of questions were hitting me at the same time and didn't let me finish...

... As always.

A rush of warmth invaded my cheeks, making me wrap my arms around my legs and bring them closer to my face in attempting to hide it between them.

'What were you thinking, Katsuki...? Why didn't you like the fact of Shouto saving me instead of you...?'

I closed my eyes and kept wondering the same again and again, unable to stop blushing at the only thought of him.

Lately, I had been doing nothing but ask myself strange questions about the male. I was worrying about things I didn't use to be before, as well as my body felt strange every time Katsuki was around. This new odd feel was far different from the one when I had to deal with his presence after he told me he hated me.

And I didn't know why, I didn't know what to do with this new sensation that was growing inside my body, but I was sure that I had to forget about it as soon as possible.

'What do you feel when you see me...?'

My heart was beating fast, and my cheeks were still warm.

'Do you have the same problem with me...?'

Many similar questions were popping up in my head, making me sink so deep in my own world that I didn't notice that someone was looking straight at my figure through a big breach in the wall in front of me.

"I knew you were here."

'Uh?'

A sudden voice I recognized perfectly reached my ears, instantly snapping me from my thoughts. I turned my head up and gasped when I realized it was him.

'K-Katsuki!'

My breath hitched at the moment my (e/c) eyes found his beautiful red ones, and my heart began to beat even faster. I brought my right hand to my chest, fearing like a fool that the boy could hear my loud heartbeats. I didn't expect that anyone could find me there, and even less that he would be the one who could do it.

'Why it has to be you!?'

I desperately wanted to move backwards and run away from him, but my back was already touching the wall.

The male arched an eyebrow at me. "Oi, why aren't you talking?" He asked, being tired of my silence.

I started to hyperventilate, I was nervous; I was looking at Katsuki in a way that I wouldn't have done if it wasn't because I started wondering all these strange questions about him while I was alone.

'Why can't I stop blushing!?'

I cupped my face with my cold gloved hands in attempting to cool my cheeks, but with no success.

"You can't talk?" He insisted, slightly tilting his head to the side.

The more I stared at him, the more difficult it was for me not to admire his features: my eyes trailed from his sculpted arms and shoulders to his strong neck, from the way his hair rested on his forehead to the shape of his fiery red eyes, from the tip of his nose to his soft lips...

What's wrong with me?

"Oi, answer me! I've found you already, stop acting." He ordered harshly, but still, I was unable to move any muscle.

'Calm down, stupid girl! A-And stop thinking weird things!'

I was panicking. Katsuki was getting impatient, and in my case, I was just there, almost having problems to remember my name.

The boy, seeing that trying to talk to me from a distance didn't work, decided to try another way: he raised his arms and grabbed the ledge over him, checked its stability, and with a quick movement, swung to enter the room.

"Don't make me waste my time and stand up and speak." He commanded, shaking the dirt off his hands.

The fact that Katsuki thought of looking for his injured classmates inside this building in particular, only made me confirm once more that I was his main objective... but why?

'D-Don't come here!'

I jumped in fear when the ash blond boy approached and stopped just a few inches from me, too close to my comfort. He expected some notable reaction after shortening the distance, but he didn't get me to do so.

"*Tsk*, why don't you move already!? Are you really gonna make me carry you!? B-Because I know that's what you want!" He exclaimed all of a sudden, taking me off guard.

My eyes widened when I heard those words coming out from his mouth, he left me totally startled.

'W-What the fuck!? Of course not!'

I shook my head in denial, even more flustered than before. Although it was true that deep inside me, I knew I'd love to be carried by him, something that just thinking about it made my blush harder to hide. I didn't know that my behavior was insinuating something like that; I wasn't trying anything at all. To be honest, I only wanted him to leave me alone, I preferred being saved by Minoru rather than him right now...

The poor Katsuki was too oblivious to the fact that he had just blurted out what he had wanted to do since we got there, and somehow expected an affirmative answer coming from me.

His frown became more pronounced after my reply. "No?" He asked upset. "You didn't seem to complain when shitty hair and the half-and-half bastard did it when your ankle."

'Uh?'

My breath hitched in my throat, I wasn't prepared for that either. Katsuki had just brought back to my memory something I had already forgotten. Why what happened between Eijirou, Shouto and me was still in his head? He surprisingly sounded as if he was... jealous?

"I was right beside you, remember? I could have carried you... instead of them..." He muttered, a pink blush adorning his cheeks and unable to look directly into my eyes.

'Katsuki...' I gasped.

My eyes widened in realization, that's when I finally understood why the male had been looking for me so bad: he felt upset because I chose other people over him and, even if he was in his 'I still hate you' form, he wanted to know the reasons that brought me to ignore his help at that moment.

"Why didn't you want me to help you, (l/n)?" He asked with a hint of sadness in his words.

I couldn't help but avert my eyes from his. It really hurt me when trying to protect All Might from being caught in his true form, I did that fake acting about a pain in my ankle and had to ignore his uncommon moments of care towards me... but I promised I would keep the secret at all cost.

'I didn't mean to do that...'

I couldn't help but feel repentant, that day I foolishly lost a chance to feel the old Katsuki with me again, a chance to wrap my arms around him and melt into his touch, a chance to hug him and think that nothing else matters...

Silence took over the room; Katsuki was waiting for me to give him an answer, but I didn't say a word yet. I was trying to be sure that my next move wasn't going to evoke any feeling of regret later.

'Forgive me, please.'

Although, he didn't need to wait much longer.

"Dammit, (l/n)! Say somethin-!"

The sudden slow movement I did with my arms made him stop in the middle of the sentence. I raised them in his direction, hoping I would make the boy understand what I wanted him to do right now.

'I'd love to be in your arms, Katsuki...' I was unable to meet his eyes, too flustered to turn my head up. 'P-Please...'

I wasn't sure if I should consider myself a bad person for taking advantage of the fact that we were in the middle of the Rescue Trial to make him do what I wanted. But I didn't care to be honest; I wasn't going to miss this opportunity, too.

I remained like that for a few more seconds and waited for a response from him, my face red as a tomato.

"What's that?" Katsuki jumped in surprise at my insinuation. "Y-You want me to take you...?"

It sounded more awkward than I thought, but I nodded anyway.

Even if he was the one who mentioned it, the boy's cheeks turned red, sure because he didn't realize until now that he actually confessed what was bothering him. "A-Alright, b-but this is because you want it, you hear me!?" He yelled.

I nodded again as a reply, still very nervous.

The male stared at me a few more seconds, too embarrassed to even make a move. "Y-You're gonna pay for this..." He growled.

'S-Sorry...'

Katsuki kneeled down in front of me and reached my wrists slowly. He grabbed them delicately and brought my hands behind his neck, closing the distance between our faces a little. Then, he placed his hands on the floor between my frame and used them as a support while leaning forward, strangely positioning his head over my right shoulder and slightly brushing my cheek with his mouth in the process.

'W-What is he doing!?' I wondered all flustered; my heart was going to break out from my chest at any moment.

The tension was killing me. I could feel his hot breath against my skin as well as his soft lips brushing my earlobe, automatically giving me intense goosebumps. I thought he was going to carry me bridal style, but he truly seemed as if his plan were different...

"Hold me tight." He whispered huskily in my ear.

Almost by reflex, I did as he ordered and tightened my grip on his neck, not knowing at all what his intentions were. With a quick move, Katsuki grabbed my right thigh and wrapped my leg around his waist and right after that, he did the same with my other leg, lifting me up when he stood up and drove his gloved hands dangerously close to my ass to not let me fall.

Just imagine my face after that.

"BAKUGOU, TH-THE HELL YOU'RE DOING!?" I yelled with agitation, my face couldn't be any redder. "PUT ME DOOOWN!!"

The boy chuckled victoriously when he heard me. "The little mouse knows how to speak after all." He commented with sarcasm, a cocky smirk on his face.

"WHY ARE YOU HOLDING ME LIKE THIS!? IT'S WEEEIIIRD!!" I tried to struggle, but with no success, his grip on my thighs was too strong to release.

"To make you speak." He answered bluntly. "And I got you to do so."

"THIS IS FUCKING SEXUAL HARASSMENT, KATSUKI BAKUGOU!! LET ME GO IN THIS INSTANT!!" The more I tried to push him away to set me free from his grip, the harder he grabbed my thighs to not let me go.

"Haah!? The fuck are you saying!? Calm down and don't take things out of context, rat!" He replied annoyed.

"I'M NOT GOING TO CALM DOWN UNTIL YOU PUT ME DOWN!!"

I kept struggling, the situation was embarrassing. Katsuki was aware of what he was doing, but he also knew he didn't have bad intentions.

"*Tsk*, stop moving already!" He growled annoyed, instantly pressing my back against the wall behind me.

"AAAAAHHH!! BUT WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO ME, PERVERT!!" I cried with fear.

I felt absolutely vulnerable; Katsuki wanted to immobilize me by keeping our bodies stuck with each other. I could feel how my lower parts were pressed against his abs, something that mixed with my messed up feelings about him, made everything worse.

He grunted again, feeling unjustly accused. "What are you saying, woman!? If I were a fucking pervert, I'd be cornering you!"

"AND WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING THEN, SMARTASS!?"

That was the last straw.

"DAMMIT, (L/N)!! I'M NOT GOING TO HURT YOU!! FUUUUUCK!!" He yelled with desperation.

My words made him explode. The last thing he wanted to make me feel around him was fear. I stared at Katsuki with wide eyes, moved by the tone of his voice. His body was shaking and had his head turned down, avoiding my gaze. I couldn't help but feel bad, I shouldn't have called him something like that.

"I'm not going to hurt you... I could never lay a hand on you. It's incredible you don't know that already..." He said with a broken voice.

'Katsuki...' I stared at the boy with a shy smile, touched by his words. I didn't know how I could be so stupid. 'Of course I know...'

I brought my right hand to his neck, driving my fingers behind his head and intertwining them between his soft blond locks. "I'm really sorr-"

*BOOOOOM!!*

"WHAT THE FUCK!?"

A sudden explosion shook the building, catching us off guard. Almost by instinct, I wrapped my arms around his head to keep my balance, taking something important totally unnoticed.

"There must be problems! We have to get out of here!" I cried with fear, but he strangely didn't reply or move.

"..."

"What!? Why aren't you moving!?"

"..."

"Hey! What's wrong with you!?"

"..."

I kept calling him, but with no answer. Though, fortunately, the earthquake stopped soon.

I released his head from my grip and stared down at the boy with annoyance, I didn't know what could have paralyzed him when he clearly knew it wasn't the moment. "What the fuck, Bakugou!? What happene-!?"

But quickly, it hit me.

I had Katsuki's face squeezed between my breasts.

"UH-WAAAH!!" I pulled away from him, feeling totally embarrassed "I'M SO SORRY!!" My face was adorned with a deep shade of red.

Little by little his grip was loosening, letting go of me. He seemed as he was having a hard time recovering from the shock and lost his strength.

As I landed on my feet, I leaned forward and drove my hands to his shoulders. "Are you okay!? I-I'm really sorry! I didn't mean to do that!" I apologized while shaking him, but still, he didn't move. "H-Hey!"

Although, a sudden warm and red liquid on his face caught my attention.

"Aah! Bakugou, you're bleeding from your nose!"

- - - - -

~Meanwhile~

"Alright, now the terrain is clear. No one will escape!"

A villain who was hidden there since the attack of the League of Villains was the cause of the earthquake. The U.A. students were recovering from the gust of wind that made them move backwards and were desperate to save Shouto from his claws, who was captured by the tall villain. The teachers weren't prepared to fight, that's why they kept telling them to run away to the entrance.

However, this one explosion-boy wouldn't run away without fighting.

"You run! I will defeat him!" Katsuki ordered after trying to attack him from his back.

In a blink of an eye, thanks to Katsuki's explosions and my Super-Speed quirk, we already reached the place our classmates were in. But the ash blond boy, instead of listening to me and stay back, he decided to attack.

"What happened!? Who's this!?" I asked with agitation while approaching Eijirou.

"It's a villain! He was hidden in the USJ and managed to capture Todoroki!" He answered.

"WHAT!?" I exclaimed, I couldn't believe how a person as powerful as Shouto could be caught. That villain must be really powerful...

'I can't believe this!' I didn't know how this could be happening, but we had to think and act fast. Our teachers were unable to fight, and one of our friends was captured. The only option was to fight!

I wasn't sure of what I had to do, Katsuki was the only one fighting and tried to punch the villain with his explosions, but the man moved as fast as him and didn't let the boy touch him.

It seemed as we were in a dead end.

"Iida, Mineta, Uraraka, Tsuyu, (f/n)... I have an idea!" Suddenly called Izuku.

The green-haired male explained quickly his plan and waited for the exact moment to act. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that Katsuki was distracting the villain to put his plan into action.

"Now!" He commanded.

The smoke of a bigger explosion maintained the villain blind for a few seconds. Ochako made the green-eyed boy's float and Tsuyu propelled him with her tongue directly to the villain. Izuku had one of Minoru's sticky balls in his hand and managed to stick Shouto with it, saving him.

"(F/n)!"

"Got him!"

I quickly appeared at Izuku's side, grabbing Shouto by his waist and bringing him with the others. 'Finally!'

Right after that, he shot him a Smash with his finger, making a big gust of wind. However, it wasn't until a super big explosion when the villain flew out to a rock full of Minoru's sticky balls, leaving him completely immobilized.

"Great! The plan worked!" All of us exclaimed.

Katsuki approached the now captured villain with one of his scary faces, clearly furious. "Now it's time for the final touch!" He announced.

The villain panicked. "W-Wait! I... I...!" He struggled, making his head come out of the mask and revealing his identity. "I am here!"

'WHAT!?'

"ALL MIGHT!?"

Who would say that the person under that disguise would be All Might himself? He explained that he wanted to surprise us, but he only received a deathly stare from us. After what happened that day, the last we wanted was to experience the same again.

"That... I'm sorry." He apologized, but the poor man didn't get rid of the beating his students gave him.

It was a relief that it wasn't anything serious and Shouto was okay, but I couldn't help but facepalm. "Aah... To think it was only him..." I sighed.

Suddenly, I noticed Katsuki coming my way. That boy knew what he had to do even if his childhood friend didn't tell him about his plan.

'You're truly impressive, Katsuki...' I thought with a smile on my face, a pink blush adorning my cheeks.

The male reached my side and I got the chance to stop him by grabbing his arm. "Hey."

He slowly turned his head to me a little. "What do you want?"

"You've been amazing there." I said.

"I'm always amazing."

I chuckled at the way he responded me, it was the typical Katsuki. "You may be amazing at this but... are you planning on rescuing people the same way you did with me? Because they may take things out of context..." I teased him.

The male turned his head straight forward again and took a few seconds to respond. "Only if it's you." He muttered.

'Uh?'

I froze in place at the moment he blurted those words from his mouth. He continued walking, leaving the shocked me there, still processing what he had just said. My face exploded in a deep shade of red when I realized what he meant.

"EEEEEEEHHHH!?"
