Please Stay! //~Baku x Todo

chapter 14

~6pm~

I wake up at home, in the training room.

Guess I blacked out.

I stand up, or more try to stand up.
I recall all the memories.
I took a serious beating. Worse than ever.
I can barely stand, I think I have some cracked ribs, bruises and burns everywhere.

'Hah! Weakling'

The voice mocks me again and again. Throwing insults at me, while I make my way to the bathroom.
I wash my face and wash of the blood. I look in the mirror and lift up my shirt. A huge bruise on over my stomach. I touch it lightly and throw up.
I start crying. I see my cosmetic bag on one of the shelves. I open it and empty it on the floor.
After finding what I was looking for, I roll up my sleeve.

'Just end it already. You are too weak to protect anyone anyways!'

Maybe?

'What do you mean maybe? Pussy'

I'm just gonna cut like normal. I don't wamt to make a mess and burden my sister and brother. If I kill myself, I'll do it some other way.

I start cutting
1 for being weak
2 for not being able to protect anyone
3 for showimg someone how weak I am
4...10.
I feel a little better now.
Though it is very much effective, it's nothing special anymore. Like it's not a big deal.
I just wish that image of Katsuki would disappear from my mind while doing that.

I wash off the blood and put the blade in the pocket of my blazer. I'm surprised 'father' didn't hit my face.
I walk down stairs. He is sitting on the couch, watching the news.

"There is a cab outside. It will take you back to school. I already paid. You should train your reflexes."
I just walk out and get into the cab.

When I enter the busy lounge I see the Bakusquad, without Bakugou tho.

"Hey Todo, you wanna sit?"
I'm not sure who said it.
I can't think.

"No I'm tired."
I say, with an emotionless face.

"Oh okay."
One of them said, with a worried undertone.

"Bakugou is in his dorm by the way..."
Another one of them says

I shrug.
"OK"

~Bakugou POV~

I'm laying on my bed. Watching a youtube video on the TV.

I hear my door being yanked open.
I jump up.
"OI EVER HEARD OF KNOCKING ASSH-"

I see Todoroki giving me a weak smile and slowly falling forward.
I manage to catch him by jumping across half of the damn rolm.

"Sorry. I lied."
He whispers, tears in his eyes.

"Hey, come on lay down."
I pick him up and kick the door closed with my foot.
I carry him to my bed and when I lay him down, he's already passed out.
I go to the supply closet down the hall to get bandages.

When I get back to my room, I get a cooling ointment from my closet and go to the bed.
I sit down and make him sit up, as carefully as I can. When I take off his shirt, I see what I'd already expected. He's covered in bruises.
My eyes become sweaters when the awareness of what must've happened kicks in.
I put the ointment on the bruises and treat him the best I can. I see the cuts.
Tears are now running down my face, but I wipe them away. There's no one else he can rely on, so I have to be strong for him -eventhough I could just throw a crying fit-, so I take one of my hoodies and pull it over his head.
After, I lay him down again.

Despite being a bit conflicted about it, given the circumstances, I call revovery girl.

"Hello"

"Hello, it's Bakugou Katsuki."

"Oh Bakugou, how can I help you?"

"Could you maybe come to my dorm? Icy- I mean Todoroki was in a bike riding accident on his way back home and passed out. Could you maybe heal him of something?"

"Sure. I'll be right there."

"Ehm- I doubt he wants to worry the others, could I just let you in through the emergency exit in the stairway."

"Oh ehm- sure. I guess I understand. I'll be there in 10 minutes."

"Thank you. Hurry you old hag!"
With that I hang up.

"I'll be right back okay?"
I stroke his cheek and smile a little, then go to meet recovery girl.

I let her in and we go back to the room, unnoticed.
"Wow. Did you patch him up?"

"Yeah. What's it to you?"
I growl at her

"You did an astounding job."

"Well I had to fucking learn how to do that stuff. Sometimes when I overdo it with my explosions and hurt myself with them."

"Well I'm just going to heal him and leave on the bandages. But I'll have to heal him again tomorrow."

"Okay. Thanks i guess."
She heals him and hands me pain meds.

"Please stay with him. I'll go out of the emergency exit."
she sighs
"But, this was a bikeriding accident right? You- You didn't beat him up right?"

"NO I DIDN'T! WHY ON EARTH WOULD I BEAT HIM UP AND HOW COULD YOU FUCKING THINK THAT YOU DUMB OLD HAG!"

"Calm down. Please no yelling. But do you understand now why I would think that, I mean you just yelling and cursing at me proves it."

I grunt and nod.

"If you want I can take him to the infirmary, but it would be better if he stayed. He has serious wounds on the inside and outside."

"I can handle it."

"Good. he also has to change into comfortable clothes, since he wont wake up for a while."

"I'll take care of it."

"Good. You're a huge help, my dear."
And with that, she leaves.

I change him into sweat pants and tuck him in.

I sit on the floor, leaning on the wall, next to my bed. I put on a movie and watch it while I put one arm on the bed and stroke Todoroki's hair, which eventually, helps me calm down a bit.
