12: 抱っこ

Katsuki's time with Dabi was something he enjoyed despite his emotional rollercoaster. The man had a comforting, older brother air to him. Similar to Shigaraki, but Katsuki had to admit, Shigaraki was his brother. His little self absolutely loved the decay-quirked man.

"Bakugou?" Speak of the devil.

Dabi scoffed, pulling Katsuki closer, "I got him first, Crusty, so back off" Shigaraki ignored the man, kneeling in front of Katsuki and wiping at his tear tracks with his sleeve.

"You okay?" Katsuki nodded. "Did Dabi make you cry?"

At Dabi's highly offended face, he laughed, "No. I was feelin' down, I guess" Shigaraki frowned and Katsuki's heart thumped. Had he upset the man? "But– But I'm okay now! Don't worry about it"

"Kid. You can always talk to us. Even crispy here. But I'm your favorite. Dabi shut up. You can always come find me, okay?" Katsuki nodded and Shigaraki brushed mostly gloved fingers through his hair

"Shiggy? I wanna take a shower" Dabi laughed at the subject change, causing Katsuki to fidget.

"Ah I forgot about that. Uh...  You can just borrow my clothes. I'll have Kurogiri go get you some boxers and essentials. You're probably feeling gross, huh?

"Mnhm. Can I go get clothes?"

"Go ahead" Katsuki smiled and stood up, going into Shigaraki's room again to rummage for comfortable looking clothes.

Tomura glared at Dabi.

"I'm his favorite. So stop tryna pull something. I'll turn your ass to dust in two seconds, no hesitation" Dabi only laughed.

"You're so whipped"

Tomura sputtered, giving refutes and excuses. He got up and stomped to the bathroom to find a clean towel for Bakugou to use and ended up with a navy blue, ridiculously fluffy one. Perfect. There was a knock on the wall and he turned. Kurogiri held the toiletries.

"I didn't even ask yet" Tomura breathed.

"I could anticipate your actions. You're very predictable" the bartender told him.

" I am not" he insisted. Kurogiri shrugged and handed him the items before disappearing. "Come back here you heathen!" Tomura called. "I am not predictable! Just admit you were spying!"

"Shiggy, what the fuck?" He heard a laugh.

"Okay, okay; ha, ha" he mocked. He gestured at the shower, "So you can use any soap you want except the green bottle, that's Magne's and she gets mad when it's used. Uh your towel is here and Kurogiri got your shit here by spying"

Bakugou laughed, and Tomura took a moment to take in the kid. His blonde hair was in desperate need of the shower. The kid's clothes were the same from before. Tomura had a theory that the kid's quirk had to do with the lack of smell and smooth skin. The kid was clutching the change of clothes to his chest, the dark grey clothing bleeding into the kid's black shirt.

"I'll be out in the bar so go ahead and take your shower and whatnot. When you're done you can come out to the bar to hang out"

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ Bakugou ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙

"Okay" Katsuki replied, allowing Shigaraki to step out of the bathroom and start sauntering to the bar area.

"Yell if you need anything" the man said. Katsuki closed the bathroom door and locked it, placing the clothes on the counter neatly and placed the towel on the it closest toilet seat so that it was within arms reach of the shower. He placed the provided washcloth on top of the towel.

Katsuki then slipped off his shirt and turned on the water. He finished stripping and stepped into the warm shower, sighing at it. He stood for a minute before looking at the bottles of soap. He skipped over the green bottle as he mentally laughed at it. It was green tea scented. As if there wasn't enough of it to drink. He picked the blue shampoo bottle that was 'ocean breeze' scented. How was that a thing?

"Well this sure as hell isn't Shiggy's" he murmured. He lathered his hair and let it sit while he grabbed the washcloth. He searched through the bottles again for body wash which was apparently 'outdoor' scented. Whatever that meant. He washed himself then rinsed his hair and body in one swoop. Easy peasy. Katsuki turned off the water and grabbed the towel, wrapping himself and drying what he could before he stepped out of the shower and dressed. The pants were loose on him but the shirt covered the slight slipping. Once dressed, Katsuki brushed his teeth.  When he deemed himself as clean, he left the bathroom, quietly walking through the halls to the bar. He stood at the door way and listened.

"-and obviously that twat didn't want to meet but it's his loss. When his little gang is about to fail we're gonna deny him. Plus, we've already got Bakugou. Kid can be the new mascot"

"I know! Isn't he so cute!"

Katsuki stepped into the bar, his bare feet padding lightly.  Shigaraki sat on the counter, holding a phone. Dabi was nowhere to be seen. Kurogiri stood behind the bar, washing something; probably dishes. Magne and Toga sat together at the bar, both with drinks in front of them. Magne's had a pink straw. He spotted Mr. Compress in a booth, half a sandwich in his hand with the other half on a plate.

Shigaraki noticed him first. "All set?"
