The 9 Millimeter Kiss

Chapter 56

"Welcome back everyone! Today is the beginning of a new school year!"

Yuki was seated almost directly in the middle of the class.

"Today, I'll be going over... Um...." she went to look down onto her roster. "Satori-kun was it?"

Yuki nodded. He'd raised his hand, and was still holding his hand up.

"May I go to the nurse's office?" he softly asked.

The teacher smiled in confusion, "Is something the matter?"

"Sensei! His shirt is red!" a classmate shouted.

"Blood!"

"He's Bleeding!"

"What--" spotting the growing red stain on his white uniform shirt she let out a distressed cry.

"Satori-- Oh my-- Hospital! You need to go--"

"Sensei! I'll be okay." Yuki calmly told her, slowly putting his hand down.

"I just need to go to the nurses office."

He was pacing. He'd been told to wait in the dorms as they went to look for him.

But he just couldn't shake the feeling he had, something was wrong.

It was by pure chance he'd woken up. Maybe it was even because of the cold. But he was glad he did. Otherwise it would have been until morning he'd discover Yuki was missing.

"You should go back to sleep." His homeroom teacher suggested.

"I can't." Bakugo almost snapped.

Aizawa sighed. Rubbing the back of his neck.

It was late at night and he'd finally been able to get ready for bed when Bakugo called.

Yuki had reportedly jumped from his balcony and ran. Bakugo's first instinct was to run after him but against his 'better' judgement, he called Aizawa. The police had been notified to be on the lookout and Hound Dog was currently trying to trace the boy down.

Aizawa was glad someone had been keeping an eye on the boy. This boy, Satori Yuki, had been a complete mystery regarding background checks. Now that they were able to have access, he understood why.

It wasn't until early morning, when the sun hadn't risen yet, did they come back with the boy.

He was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping peacefully. Contrast the panic the authorities and school teachers had just gone through. Once all was settled and everyone had been informed they'd found the boy, everyone went back to get whatever sleep was left before the day began.

Bakugo didn't. Aizawa had tried to reassure the boy that he wasn't likely he would wake up again, having exhausted himself. But Bakugo didn't believe it.

-.-.-

So now as the night sky was slowly being painted blue, he sat at Yuki's bedside. Holding onto one of his fingers as a reassurance he was there. And also to occasionally check if the boy still had a pulse
