"WAKE THE FUCK UP, YOU DUMBASS!"

Katsuki smacked you in the face with a pillow causing you to jolt awake.

"HUH?!" You sat up and rubbed your eyes, your vision was still blurry. You looked up to see Bakugou standing next to your bed, fully dressed in school uniform with a grimace plastered on his face.

"You slept past your alarm, goddammit!" He grabbed your uniform from the hook on the back of your door and threw it at you, smirking as he watched you fumble trying to catch it.

"I slept through my alarm?!" You jumped out of bed and began to shove your belongings into your backpack, running towards the door before Katsuki grabbed you by the collar of your pajamas.

"AT LEAST PUT ON YOUR UNIFORM?!" He pulled you back into your room before fleeing into the hallway and slamming your door behind him to give you privacy.

As soon as you were dressed and ready you ran out of your dorm to find Katsuki waiting for you in the hallway.

"How the fuck did you sleep through your alarm?! It woke everyone else up EXCEPT for you!" The ash blonde scoffed and walked along side you, making your way downstairs.

"I went to bed at like 3 am-"

"Again?! Why the hell were you even up that late?!"

"I was watching movies with Shinsou?"

"Oh, gross."

"Gross?! You're just jealous!" You dramatically crossed your arms and Katsuki furrowed his eyebrows at your statement.

"AM NOT!"

He was jealous. He was definitely jealous. He remembered how you used to always beg him to stay up with you, to watch movies or fool around. And yet, he usually declined and claimed that it bothered him. But now, you never came to him for that kind of stuff anymore. You always went to Shinsou, and that hurt him.

He pushed all of his feelings to the back of his head, trying not to let himself get "vulnerable."

"Can't believe your stupid ass tried to go to school in your pajamas. This isn't kindergarten."

"Well I WISH it WAS!"

"I wouldn't worry about it too much, Y/N. From what I've heard, I don't think Shinsou will let that happen, he's like madly in love with you!" Mina rested her chin in the palm of her hand as she leaned over the cafeteria table.

Lunch time had finally come and you were explaining the good news to Mina, but you were also explaining your doubts. To which she did her best to get rid of, and it was kind of working. Kind of. 

"What do you mean by worrying about it 'too much'? Does that mean I should still worry a little??" You whimpered as you picked at your food with a plastic fork, only for you to accidentally flick it off of your plate.

"What- NO- Ok, listen, Y/N, I'll admit, this situation doesn't sound all too amazing with the whole distancing thing- BUT LOOK, in the end it will all work out! And y'know, Shinsou really likes you!" She gave you a hopeful smile which ceased your anxiety a bit.

"What situation?! Did that purple-headed freak hurt you? I swear to fucking-" Katsuki towered over the end of the lunch table and fumed over the misunderstanding as you quickly waved your hands in denial.

"NO! No, he didn't hurt me!" You shook your head. "I'll explain!"

As you ranted about the great news and your annoying worrying that came along with it, Katsuki sat there with a grimace on his face, trouble in paradise? Already?

He didn't want to be that kind of person, but if he was in Shinsou's spot, you would always be the top priority. No questions asked.

The more he listened to your rant, the more he realized that you were just being paranoid. Or were you? He never trusted Shinsou in the first place, why should he trust him now? A part of him wanted to tell you that it would all be okay and that you didn't need to worry. But another part of him wanted to take your side, maybe that could land you in his arms?

The ash blonde mentally kicked himself for thinking such a cruel thing. He was supposed to look out for you and support you no matter what. Even if it meant supporting the "love of his life" with someone else.

"I think you worry too fuckin' much," Katsuki scoffed as you finished talking, still standing at one end of the lunch table, tray in hand.

"See!" Mina smiles in reassurance.

"I guess you're both right, I was getting so worked up over nothing- speaking of Shinsou though, I should go find him. These days I need to see him every opportunity I get!" You stood up and tossed your trash into the garbage bin on your way to put away your tray.

As soon as you were out of sight, Mina turned over to Bakugou with an apologetic smile plastered over her face.

"You did the right thing, really! It was super cool that you didn't feed into her anxiousness, even though it could've helped benefit you in a way. Thank you!" Mina rested a hand on Katsuki's shoulder.

"Shut the hell up." Katsuki dumped his entire tray of food into the trash bin before storming off into the opposite direction that you left in. The way that Mina spoke with such pity made him want to explode, he hated it.

Of course he did the right thing, he loved you. Why did Mina make it sound like he would've chosen a different option?  Did she really think that low of him? He wished that nobody ever found out about his crush on you. The way people pitied him for it and praised him for acting fine all the time, it was driving him insane.

'How else should I act? Dammit. If you really love someone then you always want what's best for them and you always want them to be happy! No matter how much I just wanna get in between them, that would just hurt her and I don't think I'd ever forgive myself.' Katsuki thought to himself as he walked outside of the building.

Maybe he just needed some fresh air. That would definitely stop his stomach from churning, right?

"What do you think is gonna happen?" Denki whispered over to Sero. The two of them were hiding behind a bench, they had followed Bakugou outside to make sure he was okay and didn't do anything destructive.

"I dunno. Personally, I think this whole situation doesn't feel right. I always thought that Y/N and Bakugou would end up together." Sero furrowed his eyebrows and the two boys sat and watched as Bakugou stopped in his tracks in the middle of the sidewalk.

The silence did nothing but let Katsuki be swallowed by his thoughts. The only noises outside being a slight breeze making the grass sway and some distant cars.

'Are Y/N and Shinsou really gonna last? I mean, there are couples who have long distance relationships, and this isn't even long distance. But Shinsou doesn't fuckin' understand, Y/N needs to be loved and taken care of, you can't just leave her on delivered for a day and expect her not to feel lonely.' Katsuki kicked a rock on the floor, which immediately backfired after it ricocheted off of a lamp post and hit him on the cheek.

One thing that you should know about bottling your emotions is that once one small inconvenience happens, that might just be your last straw.

"Is he... crying?" Denki squinted his eyes to try to get a better view of the ash blonde who was standing in the middle of the pathway, frantically wiping his eyes with the back of his wrists, trying not to let the tears fall.

"We should probably get out of here, like right now." Sero grabbed Denki by his wrist and rushed back inside.
