Autophobia || Katsuki Bakugou

Chapter 3

About 15 minutes later, he makes it to his house and walks in. The second he steps inside, his mom throws a shoe at him and it hits him in the forehead.

"Ah- WHAT THE FUCK, OLD HAG?! WHY'D YOU THROW A SHOE AT ME?"
"WHERE THE HELL WERE YOU? WHY DIDN'T YOU ANSWER YOUR PHONE? AND WHY DOES IT LOOK LIKE YOU FELL DOWN THE STAIRS?"
Bakugou takes off his shoes and sighs. Mitsuki walks over to him and pulls him into a hug. "I was worried sick, Katsuki!"

The boy pulls away and walks off, talking over his shoulder. "Don't touch me, old hag. I got jumped, I was found unconscious in an alleyway by a... Friend... And she brought me to her house. Cleaned me up and stuff."
"Wait wait wait, rewind. First, you lost a fight? Since when?"
"Are you deaf? I said I was jumped. Four drunk, grown men."

He opens the fridge, looking for something to eat. Mitsuki follows him as he moves around the kitchen. "Alright, well... Second, did you say 'she' brought you to 'her' house? As in, a female? Why haven't I met this girl before? Why haven't you mentioned a girl? And how is she able to put up with you?"

He sighs and closes the fridge, making his way to the pantry. "I don't have to tell you anything. Besides, you've met her before. Remember that girl Kaori? Elf ears, different colored eyes, long black hair, really short?"

Mitsuki smirks, loving how much detail he payed attention to. "Oh her. Didn't you guys like each other or something? In middle school?" "What? No. She liked me, it wasn't mutual." He grabs a piece of bacon off a plate that was on the counter; he completely overlooked it. "Are you sure? There was one day you were hanging out with those two boys, and you said something about her. What was it?" The woman asks herself, trying to remember.

'I said she was short and a pain in the ass, but cute.' Bakugou answers in his mind, but he just shrugs and walks to his room, obviously done with the conversation.

His phone vibrates and he checks the notifications. Seeing a message from Kaori, he clicks on it.

Elfy: You alive, Pomeranian?

Pom Pom: yeah, just got home
a few minutes ago.

Elfy: Ah okay, good. See
you in class Monday.

Pom Pom: bye

I guess she just can't help but care, especially since what happened to her sister. He thinks, sitting down on his bed. He turns off his phone and watches some TV.

Soon enough, the weekend is over, and they are in class. Kaori's sitting at her desk, scrolling through her phone when Bakugou strolled into the classroom with the rest bakusquad. Mina runs over to Kaori and gives her a hug.

"Hey elfy!! How was your weekend?" She asks, standing at Kaori's desk. "Uh... It was fine I guess, nothing out of the ordinary." She replies bluntly, before thinking a little. "Well, something did happen, but you'd have to ask Bakugou about it."
"Ask Baku..." She gasps. "OH MY GOD, DID YOU GUYS-"

"SHH!" Kaori replies, quickly throwing her hand over her friend's mouth. "We didn't do anything bad, but you seriously have to ask him about it not me. I'm not sure if it's really my story to tell. But, something else happened." "Oh really? What?" Mina asks, intrigued. Kaori smiles a little.

"Kenzou came home a day late on Saturday. He apparently 'slept at a friend's' but I don't believe it. I saw a hickey on his neck, but I didn't say anything about it. Maybe he has a girlfriend~" she teases, knowing Mina still kinda likes her brother. Mina's face reddens and Kaori laughs.

"Well, I don't think he could ever pull a girl." She states, looking away. "Oh please, you're only saying that because you wish it was you." "Well, I- It's not my fault your brother's fucking hot." Kaori's mouth gapes open, and a few classmates glance over. "Wha- ew... Ken? Thats- ugh. No matter how many times you've said it I still don't see it." "Well you should, you two look like twins! Despite being 5 years apart." Kaori laughs a little, momentarily drawing Bakugou's attention. "Thanks, Mina."

The blonde returns to his conversation. More like acts like he's interested in what they're saying. "Oh, Bakubro! What's wrong with your forehead, man? Fall down some stairs or something?" Denki asks, head cocked to the side. "YOU TRYING TO SAY I LOOK BAD, PIKACHU?! AND WHAT'S UP WITH PEOPLE THINKING I FELL DOWN STAIRS?!"
"Hey, man. It was just a question! Did you get hurt?" Denki replies, putting his hands up. Bakugou scowls, making him drop the question.

"Do you guys wanna hang out this weekend? I know the week just started, but we haven't hung out as a group in a while." Sero comments. "Sounds good to me, but what would we do?" Kirishima asks. Kaori and Mina tune in on the conversation, walking over to join the boys. They had nothing else to do anyway.

"How about roller skating?" Mina suggests, secretly plotting. "Skating?" Denki repeats, and Mina nods. "Mhmm! But- maybe the whole class could do it if they wanted."
"How the hell would that work?" Bakugou asks, paying a little more attention. "We don't even talk to all those damn extras."
"Maybe you don't~" Kaori teases with a smirk, and Mina nods.
"Yep. I have everyone's number, except for grapevine over there."

They all glance over to Mineta, who's drooling at something on his phone. "I don't even wanna think about what he's looking at..." Kaori says, shuddering. They all turn back to each other.

"So, I could create a group chat with all of our classmates phone numbers, and we could discuss it. Plus, it wouldn't hurt to be able to have a way to talk outside of school." Mina says. "Sounds good. And since it's not an event the school organized, we don't have to do permission slips or anything, right?" Sero asks. "Yeah that sounds right." Kirishima adds. "Okay, I'll make the group chat now." Mina says, starting to tap away at her phone. "Done!" She exclaims and Aizawa walks into the classroom.

"Phones away, everyone back in your seats. Class is starting now."

They all do what they're told, sitting back in their seats and putting away their devices.
