Hanahaki

Chapter 38

Bakugo's pov

As soon as I got down to the commons, Shinso came in the front carrying a few cases of beer. "Wanna give me a hand?"

A few people jumped and started to get the others from outside the door. Kaminari kissed him before trying to get him to come and sit on the couch with him.

Shinso shook his head and picked up a case, "I'll be back in a second."

"Hey, where are you going bro?" Shitty hair asks as Shinso kisses Kaminari again.

He breaks away and smiles before heading towards the elevators. "I'm giving this to Bakugo."

"Bakugo?" Shitty hair exclaims a bit surprised.

"Yep," was all he said before stepping onto the elevator and leaving us all stumped.

"Hey...do you think Baku will be okay?" Pink cheeks asked the others. A motherly concern etched on her face.

"He'll be fine," was round face's unhelpful reply. "Oh, Todoroki, what happened between you and him yesterday? Also, where's Deku?"

"Ask Aizawa," was my unhelpful reply.

It was silent until Shinso came back down and it stayed silent for a bit. That or maybe I just wasn't paying attention.

I was more focused on Deku. He went through so much within the past few months, he hid it so well too. I feel...guilty about it.

He was in so much pain. He almost died.

Then there's Todoroki, he's been in pain his whole life.

Him and Deku have suffered so much. Their pain is something I can never understand. They both went through traumatic things...and what have I been through?

I lost my sister when I was little...and that's it.

I feel guilty for losing her, but is that pain even comparable with the suffering those two went through?

No...it can't.

"Todobro!"

I jump a bit and look around at the others, making sure to keep my face neutral as the others looked at me.

"So, truth or dare Todobro," Sero asks me.

Oh...maybe I did space out.

"Dare."

"I dare you to...kiss the hottest person in the room."

A few people snickered and others whispered. This isn't how Todoroki would answer but...this is how I would answer, so that's how I'm going to answer.

"For me to kiss the hottest person in the room I'd need a mirror, you can't kiss yourself without one."

A few people just stared at me before erupting in laughter... it wasn't that funny?

"THAT WAS SUCH A DAD JOKE OH MY GOD," Kami raged as he almost fell over laughing.

"Because you have a heat quirk!" Shitty Hair yelled as he also started laughing.

Well...I guess my joke backfired.

After everyone settled down again Sero looked at me and said, "I'm gonna give you a different dare. I dare you too..."

Before he can decide on his dare I stand up and say, "I'm tired, I'm going to head off to bed."

I ignored their chorus of good nights and made my way to the elevator. I'm gonna check on Todoroki before going to bed.

While I was waiting for the elevator, I got a text on my phone from Shinso.

Eyebags: Just letting you know, you might wanna leave Todoroki's room. He's going back because he's tired.

Todoroki must have told him he was in my room so he...actually I have no clue why.

Me: Thanks

I get on the elevator and stop on Todoroki's floor. I don't knock before going in and the sight was honestly quite shocking.

Todoroki...or rather my body was laying on the bed, unclothed, with beer bottles spread around me. Looks like he emptied all of them. Clue was playing on the tv and it looks like he emptied out every nook and cranny in his room. Everything from his closet, drawers, literally anything and everything was piled across the floor.

I sighed as I tentatively stepped around everything and picked up my body, draping a blanket over it. I tried to quietly close Todoroki's dorm and head back to the elevator.

After arriving at my dorm, I gently place him onto the bed and make a pallet on the floor for myself.

After all he's been through...he deserves to be the one to sleep in a bed tonight.

Another short one, my apologies.
