Bakuhatsu ✓ (⛔☁)

6; Human Too

"Oh. I killed him" He simply said.

"Wh–What?" His friend stuttered out, too shocked to comprehend. 

"Mm. He liked little boys. Little boys who were my friends at one point. I stopped him. He won't touch anyone else. I saved them"

"That's..."

"I... I saved them. Didn't I? D–Didn't I? I saved them..."

"You did" Eraserhead monotoned. Bakuhatsu's breath hitched. Many of the students gaped at their teacher. "How old were you?"

"Seven"

"They say the age of reason is seven. You could've sent him to jail, but that would've taken longer. You did what you thought was right in the moment. You did save them" 

Bakuhatsu nodded, attempting to blink away the stinking tears collecting on his eyelashes. He'd never really told anyone his insecurities about the act until now. And damn it felt good to be reassured by a hero. He didn't like them, but somehow, he was still left searching them out. Seeking their approval. He clenched his hands, attempting to stop their shaking. The tears that were collecting were becoming a real threat. Arms wrapped around him. It smelled sweet. 

"Oh honey" It was Miss Midnight. Toga hadn't said anything , further adding to his pit of despair. Had he upset her, being weak in front of the heroes and accepting their presence? His breath hitched violently. Did... Did she not want him anymore...?

"Miss Midnight?" He asked. "You guys aren't going to let me go home, are you?"

He looked up and could visibly see her face soften. "You're gonna go home"

"I– I want Mister Sako" He whispered. "Please" He watched her look to Eraserhead, communicating through looks alone. He didn't bother deciphering their looks. He rubbed at his eyes. Miss Midnight's body was shielding him from the eyes of the hero students. He just wanted Mister Sako. 

"Okay hun', We'll let you see him. As long as you promise nothing will happen. Then, you can call him over" Like a playdate. They were in control.

Bakuhatsu nodded vehemently, "Promise. Can I... Can I see Mister Sako now?"

"You can" Eraserhead confirmed from the side. Miss Midnight led him out. 

"See ya" Toga waved, though her face didn't mach her cheery tone. Bakuhatsu paused when they were in the hall. Toga hated him now, didn't she? Even though everything he did was always for the league. Couldn't he just be safe and happy without providing something? 

"Miss Midnight?"

"Yes?"

"How do you do hero work in heels?" She chuckled at the question.

"Lot's of practice. You're the first one to ask about that. I usually get questions about other parts of my costume"

"Mnhm. I think it's cool, your boots"

"Y'know, you'd be pretty cool too if you weren't someone I have to go against. I'd love to take care of you"

"Mister Sako does"

"That's good then. Does he love you?"

By the time they reached the front entrance and Mister Sako was already there. All Might stood with him. He burst through the door, running towards his favorite person. 

"Mister Sako!" He was pulled into a tight hug. He made his shoulders shake and Mister Sako rubbed his back. He whispered to the man. "The window on the second floor, the classroom thats about ten meters from the the front entrance area. Class should end around three pm. We'll be there"

"It's okay" The man responded in his normal, caring voice. The only indication that he got the message being how he moved to pat Bakuhatsu's head twice.

"I missed you" He said truthfully, not needing to create a watery, waving voice. He already had one. "I really, really missed you"
