Jeanist's Fury

The ride back to the Genius Office was intensely quiet Bakugo in back next to Red and me in front with Jeanist. I couldn't get a read on him, he was humming merrily, but his knuckles were white from gripping the steering wheel so tight. My own head was spinning with everything that happened after Bakugos confession on live television. At the time I wasn't really hearing anything anyone said, but my brain absorbed the information for later use.

"Well that seems like a rather unfair reason to keep the two of you apart, what about you Miss L/N are you in love with DynaMight as well?"

"Ma'am we really need to go to commercial"

"What now? He just confessed to being in love with his coworker."

"It's too late we cut the feed right after you asked her if she loved him too."

"L/N, are you ok?"

"All well, look at her, in so much shock she can't even seem to breath, have you not told her how you felt before?"

"Hey, it's not like you to go all quiet on me like this. Hey, L/N."

"You've rendered her speechless."

"Do you mind? She's not the freak out kind of person I'm worried and don't need you yammering in my damn ear."

"Wow, snappy much?"

"L/N, come on beautiful, please look at me."

"DynaMight, You've done enough, let Red Riot and I move her away from the stage."

"For what so I can't be in the office when she is for another two weeks? I know you told her to avoid me after that fight you know. Why do you keep trying to keep us apart?"

"Because you have other things to focus on right now besides some pretty face. You don't love her. You don't know anything about her. You just like how it feels to spend time with someone who puts up with your little mood swings."

"My little mood swings? You know what fuck you Jeanist, I know a lot more than you think. I know that she misses her cat and keeps pictures of him in her purse. I know exactly how she likes to flavor 12 different cups of tea and how she takes her coffee, I know she gets frustrated with herself for messing up her conversions, that she likes to listen to Muse when she's angry, that she hates Wasabi for its taste, she loves Karaoke, she prefers softer pastel colors yet puts in so much effort to match my aesthetic. I know the difference between her real smile and the one she gives for show, the way her voice gets more high pitched if I stand too close, and that she always knocks on the door exactly four times because that was her dad's college basketball number, it became good luck to her and even after he divorced her mom she still didn't break the habit." He moved from yelling at Jeanist to wrapping his arms around me "Don't cry. This was probably the worse interview ever, I'm sorry I let you down."

"Let me down? I didn't even realize you were listening when I was talking about my dad that day." He pulls away from me, placing both hands under my chin lifting my face to his. "I listen to everything you say, even when it's pissing me off." When his lips met mine I wrap my arms around him holding him close, this time when he licks my lip I opened my mouth to him instead of pulling away. If not for the voice that started speaking we probably would have kissed a lot longer. "A first on Good Morning Japan everyone, a pro hero confessing their love. A lot was missed during the break. She was shocked and silent at first and he moved to her side to try to pull her out of it, as you saw when we came back in at the end of his argument with Jeanist about how much he does in fact know her, his words touched her heart reaching past the shock and now the two have shared a passionate kiss on screen for all of Japan to see." My eyes widen hands grasping Bakugos harder with every word the hostess gives to update the very large live TV audience an update on why I was kissing him. When I turned to Red he looked shocked but wore a large goofy grin while Jeanist stood stoic, half of his face unseen. From there it was just a shit show of her teasing us about being a couple now while Bakugo started to get angry that she wouldn't accept that a kiss didn't necessarily mean I've accepted him and that he could do better about asking me to than that.

When we finally arrive back at the office we all follow Jeanist into his office where he promptly sits then places his hands together as if to think for a moment. "Red you have no reason to be in here, you can wait outside for Miss L/N." He bolts out the door so fast you would think someone just said there was a villain terrorizing citizens. "Two weeks, two weeks I've talked to you every day Bakugo, and not once did you ever actually try to tell me any of those things in order for me to have a better understanding of how you really felt."

"I assumed you took me at my word, until that bullshit you said to me earlier."

"Bakugo I'm putting you on suspension for three days with no pay for making me look like a fool on National Live Television. Miss L/N I've worked you to death these last two weeks just to know you couldn't see him, take a few days for yourself to rest. Bakugo I understand your apartment is ready in Musutafu yet you haven't actually taken the time to move into it. I want you resettled before your suspension is over. I'm sure if you ask real nice Miss L/N will help you. When you're both back in the office next week I want you to meet me here first thing. I want you both to stand there and tell me what the hell it is you two want to do with all these feelings you've both been trying to hide or decently well hiding in your case Miss L/N. If you decide you want to be together I want to know what it really means to you, what you would be willing to put up with to have it. Now Bakugo go home and start packing. Miss L/N Red is waiting to take you back home. Get the hell out of my office."
