Marking the Territory

Izuku received a text message from [y/n] saying she had to work late. It was out of nowhere, but being a workaholic himself, he knew better than to try convincing her to postpone, though he was looking forward to spending the evening together. Katsuki owned a chess set, which is why they decided to play at his place.

[y/n] was a/an [your expretise] at chess. Although she had lost touch, She had to do this; For her; For her boyfriend. Or at least that's what she thought.

It appeared like [y/n] had control over the game at the beginning. But somehow, Bakugou managed to turn the tables and call 'checkmate' on her. Only after losing, [y/n] wondered about her side of the deal.

'Claim something of mine as his?' She was sure she didn't own anything interesting, And, even if she did, he'd only be taking it for ten minutes. She didn't think it was a big deal until he announced his prize.

"Looks like you're used to losing," Bakugou smirked.

"Now.. what should I claim?" He rose from his chair and circled ger, slowly, as he rubbed his chin.

"Umm... Your neck!" He states and pulls the chair close to hers. He sets the timer and wraps his fingers around her neck and, gets close to her. He tightens his grip around the neck as if he was going to choke her. He lets go when she begins to gasp for air. [y/n] cough up a bit, trying to supply air to her oxygen-deprived lungs.

Bakugou winced a bit, seeing her struggle. But, didn't show it in his face. [y/n] looked at the timer that lay on the bed now.

'Eight minutes forty-two seconds to go! Oh God! what did I get myself into!?'

As expected, her face looked horrified. Bakugou was keenly studying her reaction. He laughed and said

"I am only getting started, loser. (Why him? Why him of everyone!?)"

'****'

Bakugou leans to kiss her neck this time. He plants a few more kisses followed by nibbles, careful not to cross his boundaries or touch any other part of her. He then began picked a spot and started sucking on it.

'He can't be! ****! ****! ****!'

BEEP. BEEP.

Bakugou withdrew immediately. He took a final look at the hickey that he worked on, he was proud.

"I had fun, teddy bear(It sucks you don't think the same)." He wasn't lying.

In fact, I had so much fun that I am gonna let you take as many chances as you want to win that apology."

He got closer and whispered in her ear,

"And, don't worry, I will take my sweet time to claim the whole of you."

[y/n] picked her bag and stormed out of his house without a word.

Bakugou punched the wall, finally letting go of the frustration that had bottled up throughout the day. He wanted to have a fresh start. No, he didn't want things to go down this way. He hated it. He hated it all.

[y/n] was at a local coffee shop, trying to apply concealer on the mark.

'That cunning bastard!' She thought. The hickey was going to be in sight unless she wore a turtle neck or wrap a scarf around. She was already so guilty about lying to Izuku and, what would happen if he saw the mark!? She had no choice but to hide. She prayed it healed soon and called up Izuku to check on him.

[y/n] wore turtle necks or paired her outfit with a scarf even on the hot days for the obvious reasons. Izuku had pointer it out, but he didn't push it further.

[y/n] spent a reasonable amount of time thinking if she should have a rematch. Being an Amine binge-watcher, she couldn't help but think,

'If I don't, then the humiliation I endured in the first one will go in vain.'

She waited a few days before approaching Bakugou for a second match. He wasn't surprised that she went to him, almost as if he knew that would happen.
