Villain Rehab. . . ? |A DekuBaku Tale|

-Newspaper-

  The group had gone their separate ways. Deku and Bakugou had gone to their dorm to change into some normal clothes. Once they both had changed Bakugou started to clean the dorm as it was still a mess. Deku on the other hand was going to talk to the principle about getting another bed into the dorm soon.

"Bye, Kacchan, I'll be back soon." The green headed boy stated heading out the door.

"Ok!" Bakugou replied having his back to Deku.

  Once Deku was gone the ashy blonde continued his cleaning when he came across an old newspaper from when he was in middle. The day he found out Deku had gone missing. He let out a sigh of relief. the boy he had try to find for a few years was finally back in his life. As the blonde boy was cleaning he was humming a little tune with a small smile on his face as he put some papers in the drawers of the desk. As he cleaned he came across the knife he had put away. 

'Where should I put this? I don't want it to be in the way.' Bakugou was thinking to himself and didn't notice that Deku had come back.

"Kacchan?" The shorter male spoke looking at the taller one with a questioning look.

  Bakugou was standing with the knife in his right hand and his left placed on his chin in a way that made it look like he was deep in thought. The freckled boy approached him and tapped him on the shoulder. That had gotten his attention and turned around.

"Oh! Sorry didn't hear you come in." The blonde said while rubbing the back of his neck with the knife still in his other hand. 

"It's ok. What's with the knife though?" Deku asked looking at knife in Bakugou's hand.

"Huh? Oh, I was cleaning and found it. Now I'm thinking of where to put it." Bakugou answered looking down at the knife placed within his hand.

"Hm. . .ok" The emerald eyed boy replied now going to his makeshift bed and tidying it up.

  The two boys didn't talk a whole lot while they were there. Bakugou was still cleaning up and organizing his stuff. Deku was a little curious about all the things Bakugou had. He always saw lots of newspapers and papers writing with on it. 

'Maybe I could just ask?' The taller male thought as he got up and walked towards Bakugou.

"Hey, Kacchan, I have a question" Deku said coming up behind him.

"Ok. What's the question?" Bakugou asked stopping what he was doing and looking towards Deku.

'He didn't stutter' The green haired male thought. "Well, I was wondering what's with all the newspaper?" Deku asked looking down at what was in Bakugou's hand which happened to be one of the many newspapers.

"They're j-just um. . . interesting to. .u-uh. . .read!" Bakugou stuttered out moving the newspaper out of Deku's sight.

  Deku looked at him. He didn't believe him, because of the way he was talking. He wasn't stuttering, but as soon he was asked about it he started stuttering again. Deku moved closer to Bakugou and reached for the newspaper he was holding.

"Can I read them? I mean, if you think it's interesting then it must be." The curly haired male stated.

  Bakugou kept the paper out of Deku's reach. He really didn't want him to see what it was, since it was a newspaper about the police giving up on the search on Deku. He had scribbled on the newspaper out of anger and pain. He backed up from the desk.

"Um. . .maybe another time?" The blonde asked with a nervous giggle. Deku gave him a glare

"Kacchan. . ." Deku said in a warning tone making his way to the ashy blonde.

  Bakugou had officially ran out of excuses. Him and Deku ran around the room with Deku saying "let me see it!" or "stop running!" They chased around for a bit more before Deku had finally had enough and cut Bakugou off. He backed the shorter male into a corner and ripped the newspaper right out of his hands. The blonde boy looked away out of fear. Once Deku saw it he couldn't believe his eyes. The newspaper had been scribbled on with red ink. He looked at Bakugou with a sad-ish smile.

'He did care' The green head thought as he backed up letting Bakugou out of the corner. "You cared about me?" He asked with tears forming in the corner of his eyes.

"Yeah. I-I know it d-din-n't seem like it but I did" The red eyed boy said looking down. "I-. . .I wish I di-dn't do al-l those t-things." He continued on with a tear streaming down his face, while looking down at the ground.

  Deku smiled at him and hugged him. He had no other response he was just happy that he actually cared, that he actually didn't hate him, that he regrets what he had done. Bakugou was shocked standing completely still for a few seconds before hugging back, Deku sinking his face into the fluffy blonde locks letting a few tears fall. They stayed like that as Bakugou continuously apologized to him. 

"Shh, Kacchan, it's ok." Deku said with a reassuring smile.

Was everything really ok though?
