Stupid Wolf (Discontinued)

33. Isolation Breeds Desperation

It was a rare sight to see the heroes in training relaxing together, watching a movie with popcorn, blankets and bottles of coke spread around.

Kirishima was laying back with Mina curled up in his lap with Kaminari beside him, sandwiched between them and Bakugo.

The boys had all pushed the drama under the rug for the sake of their friendship, able to enjoy being around each other without thinking about the Omega who put them at temporary odds... Well not all of them.

Bakugo was in a hump, but he always seemed to be, so it was easy to hide his irritation at holding off from being near you... His eyes would flick to the stairs every now and then, hoping you'd come down and join everyone...

His eyes flicked to Mina and Kiri as they cuddled and felt jealousy spasm in his chest.

He wanted that to be him and you...

With Sero perched on the arm of the chair, the Bakusquad was complete for the first time in weeks, watching the cheesy comedy play on the large TV of the Dorm, dominating one of the sofas while Tenya, Momo, Ochako and Midoriya took up residence on the other one with Tsu, Tooru and Aoyama lounging on many blankets and pillows across the floor.

Tokoyami had even joined in, settling himself into an armchair with Mineta, Shoji, Sato, Kota and Ojiro scattered around, having been begged to all join in by Tooru.

The only ones who weren't there were you, Jiro and Todoroki, the earphone jack hero having taken the weekend to go visit her parents and enjoy a family concert.

Todoroki was locked up in his room, working away on some paperwork while you were in your own room, proof reading your application for the WWP.

You wanted to go ASAP and get away from here for a while to be in the wilderness... The quicker you sent it off, the quicker you'd get a response, praying that they would take you on for a month...

Reynard had even said she would be adding a recommendation letter with the application, along with Aizawa to speed up the process for your own sake...

The two could see the defeated and exhausted way you were behaving at school and were concerned with getting you outside and working with some pros to pull you out of your funk.

'Funk'...

You scoffed bitterly as you gently put the application in a folder with the intent to take it to Aizawa in the morning before class began.

Funk was not the word you'd use to describe this isolation.

You'd kept your head down and got on with your studies this week, trying your best not to burst into tears.

Your texts to Shinso had been left on 'read' for days, your attempt to talk to Mina were met with cold shoulders and any eye contact with any of the Alphas was avoided harshly.

Ochako had been absent too, having been spending more time with Midoriya and comforting Mina whenever she began to breakdown at Kirishimas scarred arms.

The weight of your fuckup was heavy on your chest every day and you just curled into bed every night to sleep away that pain and guilt, only to wake up the next day and have to get through it all again.

Bakugo had lingered silently near you a lot, but never spoke to you or tried to touch you in any way since the other day...

Instead of satisfied that he was doing what you told him to do, you felt hollow.

You found yourself craving Shinsos laughter and jokes, wanting to smile and laugh again so carefree.

To be happy again.
