Chapter 61: I Don't Need A Protector

Mavis' pov


"Mavis, if I wouldn't know better, I would have thought they let you starve there." Where is a Kendo when you need one? I silenced Denki with my middle finger as I fixed my gaze on the screen. Sero shook his head lightly besides me.


"Dude, never tell a girl something like that. That's not okay." Denki shrugged. "Hey man, I'm just saying-"


"Shut up, I'm trying to watch!" A pillow got thrown by me at Denki, and he silently mumbled something under his breath, placing the pillow on his lap.


Deku had the idea to film the performance for me. I don't really want to say this but he really thought about something good. Aizawa was the one that filmed everything, even though I know that he didn't wanted to. It was so loud, not even I would have wanted to be there when I had the chance. The class and I were all downstairs, in our pajamas because it was already dark outside.


We would have gone to bed weren't it for the guests that would be arriving, according to Aizawa. So they took the opportunity while waiting to show me the video.


I spooned a full spoon of rice into my mouth, chewed three times and said, "Poor Bakugo, he sounds like trash without me..."


"Don't let him hear you, he won't go easy on you because you are healed now." Kirishima warned and I grinned at him. "That's why you guys are here. Be useful and take him down when he tries to fight me."


I mean, I can fight for myself but I don't got the energy for that.


Kirishima's eyes landed on something behind me. "What was that? Repeat that for me you cunt." I set my plate down on the table and leaned my head back, smiling up at him. "I said: you sounded like trash without me."


He clenched his jaw, giving me a death glare, and went down to grab my neck. "Wow, slow down Bakugo. Not her neck." Sero stopped Bakugo's hand, covering my neck from him.


Why does everyone have an obsession with my neck? Is it so alluring?


My smile grew wider as he retracted his hand. "Stand up." He commanded.


"Hmmm, and what if I don't? What will you do to me?" He walked around the couch, everyone in the room watching him. He grabbed my top from its collar, a bit out of place when you think about it, because it is a v-neck.


"Now is the right moment to apologize before I send your ass back to the hospital."


"You just had to ask if you wanted to touch my boobs, pretty boy."


Someone knocked at the door and everyone turned their heads. "They're here everyone. Greet them." Iida said loud enough for us all to hear.


Bakugo let go of my collar and stepped forward, to the pussycats. "We heard a kittie got hurt, so we wanted to visit." I tried to squeeze myself out, up to my dorm, but Bakugo pulled me with him. "Hey, I have something to do. Let go of me." He ignored it and stopped in front of the pussycats.


"Ah! There she is. How are you feeling?"


"Pretty depressed, thanks for checking." Their smile never faded as the one with the brown hair said, "Well, looks like they targeted you now..."


"Naaah, I don't think so. I just looked too good. That's why he watched me while sleeping." I scratched the back of my head. They stepped forward as I glanced at Bakugo. He was talking to the man from the pussycats but still gave me glances from the side.


I will never remember their names... "Did he do something else to you?" The blonde one took my hands in hers, looking in my eyes with worry. Pulling my hands slowly out of her grip, I said, "He would have been already dead if he did."

"Like I said; I don't need a babysitter. Go away. All of you." Denki, Sero, Kirishima, Mina and Bakugo stood outside my door, pressuring me to let them inside.


"Come on, we will have another sleepover." Denki said with enthusiasm. I narrowed my eyes at him as I closed my door more. "You only want to be in a girl's room. If I would do a sleepover in my room, it would only be with the girls."


"Then let pinky stay with you. And stop being so stubborn." Bakugo pushed himself off the wall he was leaning on. "Yeah, no." The door closed in front of their faces.


I sighed as I turned around, going to my bed and letting myself fall on it, ignoring their mumbling between themselves behind my door. "They sounded concerned." I bolted up from my bed, turning my head to the person that was in my room.  "Didn't know people other than me and the others could stand you."


In the next moment I was hugging him with all my strength, letting him take my weight. "You are alive..."


"A hole in my shoulder won't do the job. You will never get rid of me." He grinned down at me as I teared myself off of him. An arm length space now between us. I scanned him from head to toe, pulled his dark shirt's collar to the side and gazed at the area where the hole was. A big scar was there.


"How did you heal such a wound this quickly? And your bones, they were..." My gazed switched from his scar to his eyes, "Explain."


"Hideyoshi fixed it before I blacked out. They transfused 2 packs of blood into me before I woke up. I was out for a week." Right, Hideyoshi would never stop to impress me. He broke our eye contact and looked at my room. At my violin that was still laying destroyed not mere feet away from us. At the wall with a dent and at the carpet, bloodstains from Dabi's nosebleed.


I was going to clean it today, but I don't know if I have the energy for that. "I'm... Gods I'm so sorry, Mavis. I couldn't even-"


"Stop it. I don't need a protector." I went up to my bed and sat down. When will people get it that I'm not weak? Even Akito starts now with apologizing for not being there for me.


"I didn't mean that."


"Then stop talking. Only shit comes out of your mouth right now." He sighed trough his nose and pressed his lips in a thin line. Good to see he still knows when to not argue with me. "When did you even get so sentimental? You act out of character."


"When did you get so softhearted? You even started to like heroes." Never mind... He scoffed, pinning me down with a stare. "Weren't they the one that didn't give a shit what happened to you?"


"Looks like we all change some day." I whispered, gazing into his eyes with nothing but exhaustion.
