Andromeda Nebula [Bakudeku]

Chapter 17

A Bakudeku flashback filler!

3rd Person's POV

"Thank you for staying up with me yesterday... or today, I really dont know when it was to be honest." Izuku vaguely thanks him.

"I didn't do anything you just fell asleep like immediately after you hit the bed." Katsuki replied, falling back on the bed and sighing.

"That's the thing, like when I was young my mum was hardly home because she was working since I dont have a father and I usually had to sleep by myself which was scary. I've never had someone put me to bed so I fall asleep better when someone is there with me. 

My subconsciousness believes I wouldn't get hurt like I would be protected or something I dont realy know how to explain it." Izuku awkwardly laughs it off, staring at the bed sheets as he spoke.

"I don't really know why I randomly shared about it, I've never told anyone about it actually... you make me comfortable Bakugo." Izuku says with a sincere smile.

"It's okay to be comfortable around each other, we don't even know if we'll get back home. I guess it's better we start accepting and understanding each other." Katsuki mumbles, somewhat harshly before he continues,

"I understand– more like relate I guess, my mother never really cared about me, such an old hag, had me work for her all the time yet I would say she never loved me, I was always a brat about it." Katsuki replies, a soft smile lingering in his lips when he remembered those days.

"Oh... I'm sorry-" Izuku starts.

"No don't. I don't really care and your sympathy wouldn't change anything either way."

"You are so wise Bakugo, when I first saw you, no offense, but I thought you would be like the asshole fuck-boy who wouldn't give a shit about others."

"Ah no I understand, I have seen a lot of people say that, my parents didn't grow me up you know, the internet grew me up. I was a small naive boy who was introduced to the internet when I was like 3 and my curiosity destroyed me you could say," he adds with a laugh.

"I had so many questions and theories that I naturally got deeper into everything and no matter how useful it could be, I was bound to get on the wrong side at some point and I think I did rather young.

"I got to the - harsh side of internet you could say, heard swear words and thought thats what being normal is, I started cursing and screaming thinking it was how people were, I thought it was cool but I learnt it wasn't in like middle school, because of Aizawa sensei actually.

"I couldn't stop though, I tried decreasing it, but well my quirk wasn't exactly helpful." Katsuki mutters bitterly.

"It shouldn't make you hate your quirk Bakugo, it's a normal side effect for your quirk besides your quirk is so cool! Even though I didn't get to see it, I got some footage from like last year!"

"Thanks I guess, I just hope I get my anger under control, at times I go too far that nobody could stop me, well except Aizawa sensei because of his quirk but yeah. That's what I'm worried about , if I lose control here no one can stop me."

"I will!" Izuku exclaims as Katsuki raises his eyebrows, "I mean I'll try of course." Izuku hastily adds as a yawn escapes his lips, a very long one might he add.

"Of course you can baby, like insulting way of baby, not- not the flirty one." Katsuki explains, pulling himself up and reaching over for his cup.

"Yeah yeah, of course Bakugo." Izuku chuckles standing up to do the sheets, he didn't have to but he wanted to just to continue practicing good values.

"You know you called me something else yesterday, something cuter." Katsuki says, turning around to Izuku with his empty cup, his tone smug.

"I did...?" Izuku questions with a blush as he turns away, cheeks flushing red. Of course he remembered he wasn't high or drunk just too tired to care about the embarrassment then.

"Yeah you called me Kacchan yesterday. Wonder where you got it from." Katsuki replies with a smirk.

"Do you mind me calling you...?"

"Nah."

"Okay then, Kacchan." 

"But- you need to let me finish." Katsuki adds with a smirk.

"Ugh fine!" Izuku playfully groans, walking past Katsuki towards the bathroom.

"I get to call you with a nickname too, I'm not good with names, but you don't have any choice."

"Mhm okay. What do you want to call me?"

"Well I didn't think that far so I'll let you know once I do." with that Katsuki leaves.

The team meets back up at the lobby with Alice already waiting for them. 

"So, we are gonna have to skip Hugene for now," Izuku starts immediately being hit with a series of protests.

"We can't do that Midoriya, instead of searching everywhere and exploring, we already know where it is then why not take the risk?"

"Kirishima is absolutely right Midoriya, we should do this." Kaminari defends him, glaring at Izuku.

"Guys, hear me explain, it's too dangerous-"

"So is staying here without any resources! Why do you want to take the long route all the fucking time?" Shinso screams, scaring Alice who was standing next to him.

"Because we know that there is danger there! Are you fucking insane? People who tried to land on Hugene were never found again! Why do you want to take a risk on this when we have potentially safer planets out there?" Izuku tries to explain, yet they don't try to understand.

"I don't know if you understand Midoriya but everyone here is frustrated. We want to go home as soon as possible and we are fucking scared! We are scared of dying in an unknown galaxy. Please try to understand." Todoroki tries to reason. 

"Stop trying to explain him Todoroki, this is all a human would ever do. Run away from problems."
