Purple Band-Aids (ShinKami)

Chapter Twenty-One

Kaminari had gone back to the dorms without his phone the next day. He was mad to say the least.

It's his phone. He uses that to get through the day and listen to music.

It's comforting.

He can text his friends or watch videos until he falls asleep. They help.

The good thing that came from all of this was the fact that the school kicked out Mineta. That meant that with the new open slot in class, Shinso was able to finally be in the class. Well, officially.

He even got his own dorm room. Right next to Bakugo.

When he'd gotten to the dorms late at night the next day, Bakugo walked up to him angrily.

"What the fuck? I've been texting you to come study for hours. You dumbass," Bakugo scolds.

"He thought you were dead," Sero calls from the couch.

"My mom took my phone away."

With that, he walks over to the kitchen, not exactly hungry, but a snack sounded great.

"She fucking what?"

Kaminari sighs from where he is in the pantry.

"I didn't want to do some test thing for them to find out if I'm lying about the shit with my dad or not, so she got mad. I guess it also didn't help that I said no to going to court. Oops."

Bakugo breaks what Kaminari thinks is a pencil behind him, only hearing the snap.

Kaminari feels as though Bakugo is going to yell so he turns around tiredly.

"I don't want to deal with all of this. I think she's giving my phone to the police. It's whatever. I'll get it back and if not then fuck my life. Oh well," Kaminari breathes out.

Bakugo looks him over.

The other blond has not been doing well at all. He's acting weird, weirder than usual, and it's not sitting right with Bakugo.

After Bakugo scolded Kaminari and gave Kaminari his apologies, Bakugo had not treated Kaminari any differently.

"Come with me," he suddenly says, turning and walking out of the kitchen. A quick look behind him told him Kaminari was following him so he kept walking out of the dorms.

From there he led Kaminari to a training ground.

Kaminari stands far away from Bakugo, stretching and getting ready to fight. The other blond just stands there, looking at him, and he stops stretching. He drops his arms and looks curiosly at Bakugo.

"Uh?"

"You've been acting weird."

Kaminari feels his heart drop slightly.

"Yeah, but don't think I won't give you all I've got," he says, smiling.

Bakugo shakes his head.

"I didn't come here to spar," he finally says.

Kaminari's face falls. "Oh? What?" He asks confused before he smiles again. "You just gonna beat me up?"

Bakugo laughs, and Kaminari feels proud for being one of the few people who can make him actually laugh.

"No, dumbass, but that does sound fun. We're gonna scream."

"Huh?"

"You have a lot of pent up emotions and screaming helps. So get over here," he says, motioning Kaminari to get closer to him.
