Bakuhatsu ✓ (⛔☁)

7; Cards of Life

"I really, really missed you"

"I missed you too, kid" His father figure pulled him even closer.

"Is– is Shiggy mad?"

"No" The man reassured behind his mask, "Not in the least. He's worried, yes, but he isn't mad"

"Oh.... Good" Bakuhatsu mumbled as he slumped down, burying himself into the man. "'M sorry"

"Don't be sorry, you did what you needed to. We know Toga and you are okay now"

At the mention of the girl, he finally sobbed. The action surprising the man.

"She doesn't like me an'more! I fucked up! I wasn't strong! I– I was weak in front 'f the heroes! I'm sorry! I promise I won't do it again! Promise! I'm still useful!"

Mister Sako pulled him down so that they sat on the ground. Bakuhatsu found himself being held in the man's safe embrace. "Hey, you're the strongest kid, ever, out of all the kids in the world. You don't need to be strong all the time though. And that doesn't mean you're useless. If a card gets bent, do we throw it away?"

"No"

"Exactly. We give it a little TLC and help it get back to normal"

"I'm a card, then?"

"No" His father figure laughed. He pulled out cards similar to Bakuhatsu's own. "Let's play a game, okay? Distract you a little"

He shrugged, "Okay"

As they played, Bakuhatsu found himself thinking. If Toga didn't love him anymore, did anyone? Mister Sako seemed to like him, but they were always closer then the rest. He owed Mister Sako his life. He placed down a card. Tomura too, he let a sad, murder prone kid in. All of them, really. He owed them his existence. If they didn't need him anymore, he wouldn't have a purpose. No reason to continue on.

"Muster Sako?" He asked, voice in a whisper. The man hummed to let Bakuhatsu know he was listening. "Am I gonna go home?"

"Of course. Why?"

"It fucking stupid here. There's all rules and eyes. Everyone's always lookin'. Oh. Guess what"

"Is it something good?"

Yeah. Remember that kid I told you about? My childhood friend?"

"Midoriya? Yeah, why?"

"He's here!" He smiled. "Zukkun's here. He really got in"

"I see"

"How did All Fuck find you?"

Mister Sako burst out laughing. "All Fuck! Thought it was Fuck For All" Bakuhatsu could hear Miss Midnight laugh. He turned to smirk at them. All Fuck was frowning with a depressed look. "I was out looking for you and heard him talking about you. He said you were looking for me and I was allowed in and whatnot"

"That's mad cool" Bakuhatsu breathed. He set down his cards. "I believe I win"

"Funny, I had the same thought" His father figure places down his own cards. They were exactly the same as Bakuhatsu's. He grinned. They recollected the cards into one stack

"Alright honey, we've gotta go back in"

"Here" The man said, using his quirk to compress the cards. He tossed the marble at Bakuhatsu.

"Thanks. See you later" He was about to step away when the man pulled him into one more hug. He felt warm and safe.

"See you, kiddo"

He waved as he walked backward with Miss Midnight. "Tell Shiggy we're fine"

"Will do"

"Oh and All Fuck. Touch Mister Sako and I'll kill you. Number one hero or not, I'll string you up if you ever touch him" He took joy in how the hero shifted uncomfortably.

He swiveled back to face forward and followed Miss Midnight in.

They stepped back into the classroom and Bakuhatsu immediately, on instinct, threw a card at the kid who had their hands on Toga's thighs the card sun into the kids back.

"What the fuck is going on here? Who said you could touch her? Huh?" The kid was the little purple 'haired' fuck. He kicked the kid away like you would trash on the street. No one stopped him, surprisingly. No one even moved, not even Eraserhead.

"Toga. You should've strangled him, you crazy fuck"
