Swiper (Bakugo X reader)

Chapter thirty two: infront of your eyes and inside of your head.

Katsuki raised an eyebrow before hoisting your dress up violently. You yelped at his actions but his expression only became more disgusted the longer he stared at those scuffed shoes. Aizawa turned around briefly to see the commotion. When he saw your choice of footwear he pulled over to the side of the road. "Absolutely not." He deadpanned as he got out of his seat and fished around for something in the boot of the car.

While your teacher was distracted you made the decision to slap Katsuki's shoulder. "Why'd you yank at my dress like that are you stupid?." You seethed at him.

At first he looked pissed at you for hitting him and calling him stupid. Then his face showed realisation and embarrassment before it settled to a deadly scowl. "Well it's not like I lifted it all the way."

You rolled your eyes and brushed the dress fabric out to straighten it against your thighs. There was a short pause before the door next to you opened. Aizawa handed you a shoe box before getting back into the drivers seat and pulling off into the road again. You opened the box to see a pair of silver sandals. They were definitely not something you expected your teacher to own.

"Uhh sir?" You asked, concerned as to why he owned such obviously feminine shoes.

"They aren't mine L/n. Perry asked me to give them to you. Whoever hosts the party always buys gifts for the guests. It a traditional thing for these events. I guess these shoes are your gift." He grumbled. Rubbing the bridge of his nose is exhaustion.

You sighed in relief before pulling your scruffy pumps off and slipping your feet into the sandals. They were a bit too tight and rubbed uncomfortably on your ankles but you wouldn't need to be wearing them for too long and figured you could take the pain.

The hour long drive was mostly silent. Not even the radio was on. The three of you sat quietly preparing yourself for whatever was going to happen.

"If viperidae is there like we assume, I ask you not to cause any trouble. Avoid being seen by him, we don't want to cause a panic. Just leave him to me." Aizawa instructed while gripping tightly to the steering wheel.

Katsuki clenched his fists angrily in his lap and his scowl was deeper than usual but you couldn't blame him. He wanted to take down that serpent doctor as much as you did. You placed a gentle hand on his forearm. He turned to look at you angrily for assuming he needed reassurance but his expression softened when he saw how you were shaking.

Of course this was hard for you, who knows what you went through while you both were captured by the league of villains. He shrugged your hand off of his forearm. You placed your hand back in your lap slowly, feeling slightly dejected.

Katsuki bounced his leg up and down furiously. Bothered too much by the situation to realise how he had shrugged you off. He sighed to himself and placed his hand on your knee. Squeezing it gently to remind you of his presence every now and then. It made you smile slightly at him but he kept looking out of the window. You could see the bracelet that matched your own around his wrist. He also kept it on, despite it clashing with his outfit.

Aizawa pulled up alongside a large country home. It had about four stories. Not quite as big as Momo's estate but definitely looked grand as a warm glow radiated into the darkness from the many windows. Large stone sculptures lines the long driveway up to the main courtyard.

You could already see a wide range of strange looking guests entering the house. Some looked obviously like the various different mythical legends you learned about as a child.
Perry noticed your car and came trotting up to the window to wave at you. Katsuki removed his hand from your knee so he didn't embarrass himself but perry had noticed the gesture already and was grinning from ear to ear.
