Hanahaki

Chapter 31

Bakugo's pov

This is fan-fucking-tastic. I didn't know the counselor was gonna have that sappy sweet voice. It's so annoying, I only asked for her because it's free.

I don't know if putting up with her voice is worth it though, I would pay the same amount for a therapist for her to shut up.

"So, why don't you guys explain the situation to me while we eat?" She asks as I sit down with my bowl of spicy noodles. I pass Todoroki his bowl of cold soba that I got for him as she starts to settle down into her seat across from us.

Todoroki thanks me before he starts eating and I grumble out a whatever as I start eating as well.

It's silent for a few minutes before she pushes on saying, "Aizawa explained it, but very briefly. All I know is that it involves you two and Izuku Midoriya, who is currently hospitalized. I can't help you if I don't understand the situation."

I glance at Todoroki and he looks at me. He shrugs and continues eating his food. Really? This guy wouldn't open up to a pet, let anyone some random stranger. That leaves me.

Yay.

I sigh and set my chopsticks down and look at Amy. "All three of us had Hanahaki, Deku got it first and was in love with me, Todoroki was helping him and he fell in love with Todoroki as well, I just realized not too long ago that the admiration I had for him was actually love, that's when I got Hanahaki, I'm guessing it's the same for that bastard, "I say pointing to Todoroki.

She looks like she has something to say about that but I continue without letting her speak. "I'm guessing he collapsed or something, the bastard threw me against a wall, I followed him when he left, read Deku's letters, then we both realized he loved us back. We both rushed to the hospital and confessed in time to save him but he'll still be hospitalized for a while due to how bad his condition was. The end."

She nodded her head and then said, "What about this morning?"

"What about it?"

"You both arrived at the same time. Have you spent any time together since the events of yesterday?"

Nosy bitch. Why does it matter?

"Why were you at my house this morning?" I look over at Todoroki who paused eating his soba to ask the question and hold eye contact with me.

"To get you so we could get to school and get this over with."

"Were you worried I'd get lost? I know the way to school...also how did you figure out where I lived?"

"Why does it matter," I reply, rolling my eyes and taking a bite of my food.

"Bakugo, I think he's just trying to understand whether this is a part of your grieving process or not. If it'll become a regular thing and if so why, is that right Todoroki?"

Bitch, you don't know what he's thinking. If he has something to say, he can say it himself. Besides, why would this become a regular thing? We live in the dorms.

...I should probably be more compliant. We are here to get help or something after all. Besides...it's not for me, it's for Deku.

I sigh as I push away from the table and grab Todoroki's collar, hauling him up and out of his chair and towards the back area where there's a door separating us from where we just were.

"We'll be back in a second," I called to Amy over my shoulder as we step through the door and it closes behind us.

I let go of Todoroki and he goes over to the counter, hoisting himself up and sitting on it. I prop myself up on the counter in front of it and face him.
