The Tempo Life Brings

Destructions

⚠️ Warning ⚠️

The following chapter contains minor drinking irresponsibility and minor references to it. Read with caution if it bothers you.

Words aren't communicated between all the men as they try and figure out how to help Bakugo in any way possible. The odds of them running into Kirishima were inevitable, but Bakugo and Kirishima interacting the way they did, soured the night practically altogether. The four men try to get some chatter going, but they feel horrible for leaving the ash-blond male out of the conversation. None of them suppose there's a way to get his mind off what he witnessed back at the club. They do as much as stall their pace so Bakugo can keep up with them since he's been dragging his feet, but they still don't know if it's assisting anyone.

"He's gone," Bakugo mumbles after not talking for a few minutes, "he's fucking gone."

"But he was–"

"Todoroki," Midoriya cuts him off, commenting, "not now, okay?"

"And to Louise," Bakugo expresses more audible, "of all people to date in this big fucking world, it had to be her?"

"I'm not surprised," Sero considered, who isn't blocked by Louise and Kirishima on social media.

"I'd say he moved on too fast, but you can check out her social accounts and judge," Kaminari jests, "if she doesn't have you blocked, that is."

Speechlessness takes over the group, making the golden-haired male realize his wisecrack was far from funny.

"Anywho," Kaminari voices, trying to cut the tension, "if you decide on heading home, Bakugo, we'll get you a ride. The rest of us will continue this party at my place."

"Care to add one more person, though?"

All five men turn around and notice Ashido standing a few feet away, and the group is happy yet surprised to see her since they initially know who she was with earlier. No one can apprehend why she would leave, but Bakugo has an opinion why and it's most likely because Louise aggravates her so much.

"Yeah," Kaminari responds, "that's fine."

Everyone else is on board with Ashido joining them besides Bakugo, who is dead set on heading home and being done with tonight. He was the moment he ended his conversation with Kirishima, not when Kaminari suggested it or when Ashido decided to show up, too. In his mind, he could go to take his mind off of what just happened, but he's not in the mood to socialize some more and ruin the night.

"I'm heading home," Bakugo announces. "I'll find a ride."

🥁🎶🥁🎶🥁🎶🥁🎶🥁🎶🥁

Bakugo finds a ride back home and arrives at around 1 AM, which is considerably better than any other time during a night out. The moment he closes his front door, giving into temptation, he checks one of his social media pages to look up Louise's account to see if Kaminari's statement was true. Once he goes to the search bar, her name doesn't emerge; only her fan pages do. He goes to his inbox to a saved conversation between them months ago, before their tour together even commenced. He clicks on her profile picture, and the words in big, bold letters where all her photos would say "user not found" to let him know one thing: she blocked him.

A/N: Play the song now

"No surprise there," Bakugo thinks, "she blocked me."

He has a weird sinking feeling that Kirishima would have something suggesting the relationship on his page. Still, the ash-blond male thinks that's impossible because the redhead barely posts anything.
