I groaned as I opened up my eyes and rolled over, instantly sitting up rather than falling back asleep. I stared at myself as I now had two tails like the land-dwellers. I began to panic trying to move back towards my tank. I began to crawl for it when the door opened and Kacchan walked in.
"I'm back De- WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?!" He yelled, small explosions in his palms. I squeaked and looked at the tank trying to go for it but he blocked my way there and glared. "Answer me! Where is he?"
"K-Kacchan?" I said upset as I felt tears streaming down my cheeks.
"Deku? What happened?!" He asked me alarmed as he looked me up and down.
"I don't know," I said crying harder. He held me in his arms and shushed me. I cried harder gripping to him.
"You're freezing." He took his white shirt off and put it over me and then held me again. I snuggled into his chest feeling his warmth and the light thumping of his heartbeat.
"Hey, Bakugo! We're all going to the mall are you-" I looked over Kacchan's shoulder and saw a boy with blonde hair walk into the room with a girl completely pink behind him. They both seemed star-struck as they stared at us.
"Kacchan?" I said confused by who they were meant to be addressing.
"Who's this cutie?!"
"How many times do I have to tell you two to fucking knock!" Kacchan yelled angrily. I squeaked and he began to play with my hair.
"Yeah, yeah. Who's this Bakugo?"
"This is Deku, he's a... friend." I looked at Kacchan confused.
"What's a friend? Is it a type of food? Are you going to eat me?!" I asked panicked trying to escape his arms.
"No, it isn't you dumbass! And stop squirming you're naked!" He said holding me tightly.
"You can understand him?"
"Yes. He can understand us he just hasn't learnt how to speak the language yet." Kacchan explained.
"Well, I think Deku should come with us too."
"Mina's right!" The blond cheered.
"No. We're busy." Kachan stated.
"Bummer."
The two looked at eachother upset and sighed before leaving again. I gulped and looked at Kachan and he seemed relieved as he picked me up and put me into my tank.
The warm water hit my human tails and scales began to appear. I smiled and soon I had my tail back, swimming around in a little circle in my tank happy.
"Your tails back?" Kachan asked confused.
I leant up on the side and smiled at him.
"So how did you get legs anyway?"
"Legs?" I questioned.
"Like what I have. How did you get them?" He asked sitting on the floor infront of me.
"I have no clue... I went to sleep and woke up with them."
"So is it that you fell asleep out your tank?" He asked thinking.
"Maybe... I don't know. But I'm happy I have my tail back now! I was scared I was gonna be stuck on land forever." I said splashing a little.
"What's wrong with land? Knowing we could find a way to give you legs... you could hide easier and live a normal life."
"Hu? But I don't want to be trapped here forever. I wanna go home... to my mum..." I said looking down.
"You have a home?"
"Yeah! And it's beautiful. I'd love to show you!" I smiled thinking about all the vibrant colours.
"Right... ima have a shower."
He got up and left before I could say any more. He seemed sad but why? What is wrong for me to want to go home...
