Dumbass || Bakugo Katsuki ||✔

Chapter 17

The next day I was at school, behind Bakugo as always. Dad was asleep at the front, savouring the small nap as much as possible.

When he first saw me he stared at me for a whole ten seconds before turning away. Jees, wasn't dad thankful that I didn't die?

But then again he has way more important duties than me. I appreciate such a hard working man so I stuffed my emotions down my throat for the whole day, keeping a fake smile that no one could see through.

After school was finished, I saw uncle Hizashi standing in front of the main gates, probably waiting for another teacher.

I quietly creeped up from behind him, poking his arm. He didn't scream, only checking who it was. His manic green eyes lit up when they landed on me. I was always curious as to how he never flinched away.

People usually assume my uncle is a loud-mouth who belongs in the side of the story but there's more depth to him... there's depth in everyone but us humans tend to have such little intelligence and such huge ego's.

"Susu! What are you doing out here? School finished fifteen minutes ago." He said, checking his phone and shooting a wide grin at me with his finger guns.

"Just a bit salty." I stood next to him with a sigh. "What's with the depressed look?" He inquired, softly pinching my cheek. I giggled, loving his fun way of affection.

"Nothing..."

"Are ya sure? Usually you're matching my energy."

Always am, he's been my best friend ever since birth, we've spoken to each other about everything and when an issue happens, I either tell him or dad- and Shinsou. He's too loud sometimes, but I liked that, it balanced out the crushing silence at home.

"It's just"-

I turned around at the sound of familiar footsteps, the black boots reminding me of why I was mad the whole day. My slightly rising mood immediatily plummeted at the sight of him.

Dad stopped right in front of me, the same glare he had in the morning lingered on his face. I rolled my eyes, not caring if he gave me a punishment or not.

Uncle blinked confusedly at the both of us, unsure as to why we were communicating through silence. But then again, he's used to me getting in a fight with dad usually about his health.

Without warning I was pulled into a warm hug. I immediatily burst out crying, clinging onto him tightly.
I thought he didn't care, that I had done something so shameful that he'd not want to even look at me.

"Don't run into danger, I can't lose you too." He mumbled lowly so that only I could hear. I sniffled and nodded frantically, not letting go.

Before he could loosen his arms fully, I tiptoed to kiss his cheek, cupping his face. "I'm sorry!" My face scrunched up as I proceeded to ugly-cry.

Uncle Hizashi and him burst out laughing hysterically. I couldn't help but chuckle along with them. Glowering jokingly.

"Why do you make a grinch face before you cry?" Uncle said. I snorted and wiped my tears. "Oh, be quiet."

That night I was able to sleep properly, the nightmares slowly became less scary as weeks passed by. Some nights were still horrific, leaving me to go to school half-awake.

However... I was somewhat getting the hang of it.

It was now Spring, rainy and cold yet sunny. I loved it but my favourite season was Winter, it was easier to cool down after training in Winter, besides the naps were infinite!
