Lies (Cheater!Bakugo x Reader)
Your heart stopped.
A wave of adrenaline rushed to the pit of your stomach. You felt dizzy.
Nauseated.
You couldn’t move.
You scrolled through Bakugo’s phone, hearing the shower still running. He had come home from a late training session with the boys, immediately running to the shower before he settled down with you for the night. Just like he’d done for the past 3 years.
He’s been distant lately, getting more agitated with you, calling you names. You brushed it off, thinking that he was stressed out. It was both your senior years at U.A., so of course he was stressed out. He was constantly looking at apartments, houses, agency locations, and constantly training and doing homework.
But something was eating at you.
This fear.
This..anxiety.
You sat there, staring at his phone, for about thirty minutes before you decided to lunge for his phone and unlocking it. You had never done this before, your heart was already beating like crazy. You found a recent text thread from Kirishima and scrolled through it. Your heart started to beat normally as you realized it was normal conversations. Asking about homework, training, how each other’s days were. Your eyes quickly scanned the messages, listening to see if Bakugo was out of the shower yet. Your thumb moving fast on the screen, eyes darting right, left, right, left, right, left…..
Shitty Hair: So when are you going to tell (Y/n)?
Your eyebrows furrowed and you stopped scrolling, taking the time to read the text conversation. You had known both the boys since your freshman year of school, what could they have been hiding from you?
Katsuki: I don’t know. It’ll crush her.
Shitty Hair: Why’d you do it then?
Katsuki: I don’t know.
Your heart thumped in your chest. You heard the water turn off from Bakugo’s shower but you couldn’t move. You felt tears form in your eyes. Your hands were shaking.
Shitty Hair: You have to tell (Y/n) that you cheated on her bro..
Shitty Hair: She’s going to find out sooner or later..
Shitty Hair: Might as well be sooner than later, right?
A single tear fell down your cheek as Bakugo opened up the bathroom door. You whipped your head towards him, his phone still in your trembling hands. You made eye contact with him. You blinked to make the tears disappear, your face red with anger and despair. Bakugo studied your face for a minute before his eyes trailed down your arms to see his phone in your hands. He clenched his jaw and muttered quietly. “(Y/n), did you go through my phone..?” Your breathing became heavy, you were trying so hard to keep your cool. Bakugo stepped out of the bathroom doorway, watching you closely. Your eyes never seemed to leave each other’s. You could not figure out the emotion on Bakugo’s face. “Did you go through my phone?” Bakugo said, louder than the first time. You didn’t even notice you were crying until you felt tears fall off your jaw and on your arms. You opened your mouth slightly, fearing what would come out of your mouth. Your mind was racing.
“You cheated on me..?”
Bakugo furrowed his eyebrows, staring at you for a minute before he quickly walked over to you and grabbed his phone from your hands. He walked towards his dresser, fumbling with his phone before he turned it off and stared at you again, his arms crossed against his tank top clad chest. “Why the hell did you go through my phone, (Y/n)? You know how I feel about that.” You tried to take a deep breath, more tears falling onto your cheeks.
“Bakugo..did you cheat on me?” You whimpered, looking at the person you’ve loved for 3 years. You felt like your heart was breaking into a million pieces. Like you had just been hit by a bus. “So what if I did, you shitty girl?!” He barked back at you, his cheeks becoming red with anger. Your mouth hung open in disbelief, your whole body was shaking, your heart dropped to your stomach. You slowly forced yourself to look down at your hands. Do I ask him who he cheated on me with..? Do I ask why? You quickly thought to yourself as you stared at your hands. Thousands of thoughts ran through your head, trying to figure out what you did wrong to make him cheat on you. You didn’t even realize that Bakugo was talking..well, yelling at you until you saw his feet in front of you, making you look up.
“...and you’re constantly, CONSTANTLY, nagging me about everything! I dated you to date YOU not my mother. I feel like I constantly have a babysitter around! And now you decide to go through my PHONE?!?!” You watched as the man you loved ripped your heart apart more and more with his words. You saw his mouth moving, you felt the anger from him, you took this as your cue to leave. You slipped under his arms, his yelling becoming background noise as you felt yourself cry harder. You slipped your shoes on and grabbed your phone and backpack. You opened his bedroom door, hearing him follow you as you walked down the hall to his front door. You couldn’t focus on his words. They hurt too much. You should have seen this day coming from miles away.. You figured it would just be best to leave and never look back, and that’s what you did. You opened his front door, looking out at the beautiful night sky before you stepped onto his porch and closed the door behind you. You could still hear him yelling, but your heart wouldn’t let you turn around and forgive him. As you walked home, you pulled out your phone and texted Kirishima, letting the cold night wind dry your tears. You shook your head slightly as you typed out your text.
Me: I found out what happened. Thanks for the lies.
Your thumb hit the send button and you stuffed your phone back in your pocket. You’d make sure to delete Bakugo’s number when you got home.
