26 - Why Can't I Hate You?

You cautiously walked over to him, his head now facing away.

"H-Hey Bakugo..."

He turned his head the same amount as before, the same cold eyes glared back.

"How are you feeling?"

He turned his head away. Not even responding to your questions.

Shocked by his sudden change in behavior you turned and walked away, immediately heading toward the person who always kept tabs on what was going on: Mina.

"Mina, have you noticed anything different about Bakugo?"

She hummed for a second before answering, "Well now that you've mentioned it he has been quieter lately, he's not picking fights as much anymore and rarely gets angry. But he seems completely different now that you're here, I've never seen him so quiet! What happened between you two?"

"It's nothing," before she could ask any more questions you hurried away to your desk.

You sat down by your seat, Kirishima turned over to face you," Did you guys fight?"

You fidgeted, "Sorta, but we didn't physically fight."

"I think he might still be angry with you..."

"Or maybe he feels bad?" spoke Momo from behind.

"It's a little more complicated than that," you glance at Bakugo again, "But we'll get over it!"

They didn't look convinced.

The class continued as normal, and Bakugo managed to get back to his normal self, slightly. To everyone else he seemed fine, sure maybe a little tired but to you, you knew Bakugo. You could see how he was, he wasn't himself.

You glance at Midoriya, He gave you a somber worried look that told you he was also concerned about Bakugo.

You felt your stomach squeeze in worry.

Lunchtime

Even your food enlaced with rich aromas and enticing flavors couldn't keep your mind off Bakugo. Chewing your food slowly and sadly while sitting alone made outsiders feel pity for you.

A clamor of a tray and the shuffling of someone moving into a seat jolted you from your sad trance.

"(Y/N)-Chan, what's going on with Kacchan?"

Izuku spike calmly but with concern, "What's going on with Kacchan? He's not himself since I got back. Apparently, he's been like this since the fight."

"Izuku -"

"I'm really worried about him, (Y/N)-Chan. I've never seen him like this, I hope you don't mind me asking but, what happened?"

Midoriya was genuinely worried about Bakugo's wellbeing.

You felt relieved to know that you weren't the only one who still cared about Bakugo despite his harsh bullying.

You glanced around and began speaking in a whisper so soft Midoriya had to lean to hear.

"I think it's because of my quirk..."

"He knows?" Midoriya gasped.

"I'm guessing so considering that he witnessed it..."

Your hand clasped at the faded memory, "Bakugo... Held me when I was injured."

Midoriya snapped his gaze from Bakugo to you, this perked his interest, "My quirk is activated by my brain sending out special signals which can activate large explosions by forcing specific atoms to react. But when my quirk is used to the extreme my brain starts to shake and vibrate from the intense signals, sometimes it even affects my whole body. This causes it to make my eyes, ears, nose, mouth, and even fingernails bleed, not to mention extreme pressure on my head, which can cause fainting, blackouts, exhaustion, or weakness. "
