#1 In My Heart

Rules

(Bakugou POV)

"Bro. You gotta tell someone other than us. It's been a week since the incident." Ei says laying Sho's legs across his lap. They're on the couch leaving me no room to sit. "It feels like I've been banished" I say sitting at the kitchen table. "Also did you just 'bro' our sweet and innocent Sho??" Ei and Sho both chuckle. "First off, you're not banished. You're eating. We're no longer allowed to eat in the living room. We'll get bugs. Second off, you know damn well that the man sitting on the opposite end of the couch is NOT innocent. Sweet maybe. Innocent?? Definitely not."

I let out a sigh as Ei finishes his sentence. "Oh come on. The living room is like a foot away from where I'm at. That new rule is stupid." "If you think the new rule is stupid, then you must think I'm stupid since I came up with it" Sho says in an innocent voice. "Sho, that's not fair. You can't do that." I say back. "Do what? I'm not doing anything" he says with a pouty face. "Uh huh." I laugh and roll my eyes at him. "You get away with too much" I respond as he smiles and giggles. "You love me and you know it" he says. "That's why you get away with too much" I say again as I stand up to put my plate in the sink. I walk over to them and kiss Sho on his head. "You changed your shampoo, huh?" I say to him. I suddenly feel a pillow hit my face. "You're creepy" Ei says with a laugh. "Oh shut up, idiot. I was just making an observation" I say throwing it back at him. "Missed me. Guess you're losing your touch, Dynamite" he says provoking me. I see Sho let out a sigh and put his head in his hands. "Shut up" I say again to Ei.

I've been working on my 'anger problems' that I apparently have, secretly. For a couple months now. I think Sho changed me a little bit. I like the person he's becoming. And I like that he's open to change. It made me want to be open to change too so I secretly also meet with a therapist now. Of course the secret part is hard. Especially when you're basically a celebrity who never gets any privacy. And you have two nosy boyfriends.

"Ei's right though. You do need to tell someone" I say to Sho lifting his legs up to sit with them. "What would I even say?? I have no information. I don't even know what the person looks like. I need more information before I can confidently say anything to anyone. I barely wanted to tell you guys but I needed to talk about it" he says bringing his knees to his chest. "Don't tell me you're going to investigate" Ei says sitting up. "Okay. I'm definitely not going to investigate" He says looking away from us.

Ei and I both look at each other and then look back at him. "No." We say in unison. "I said I wasn't!" He argues back. "We know when you're lying. We've known you for years. And you're a terrible liar" I say to him. "Good liars don't have a smile when they're lying" Ei laughs back. "Ugh. Fine. Why can't I?" He looks back at us. "Because we said no. It could be dangerous. You could get hurt" I say. "Then by all means come with me" he looks at us. "What?" Ei questions. "If it's too dangerous to go by myself, then come do investigating with me. It'll be fun. Like Sherlock Holmes or something" he laughs. We both roll our eyes at the reference. "Fine. But only because we both know you were going to do it anyway. You like to defy us." I say the last sentence under my breath with a smirk. "Cute little double entendre there babe" Sho says leaning over to kiss me. "But you're right. I do like to defy orders, don't I?" He winks at both of us. "Keep it up and you won't be able to do any investigating" Ei says standing up. "Oh?" Sho questions. "How so?" He asks slyly. Ei bends over to kiss him. "You can't do any investigating if you can't walk" he says kissing him and then walking away. "That's not fair. You can't just say that and then walk away" Sho huffs. "I can and I did" he says down the hall. Sho looks at me and all I can do is laugh. "Not so fun when it's happening to you, huh" I laugh again. "Now, do you have a plan for this investigation?" I question him. "Well... Uh... No... I was hoping you'd agree to come with me and then you guys could think of something. Because my mind is drawing a big blank over this whole situation." He responds shyly. I glance over at him and notice he looks nervous. "It's gonna be okay babe. Obviously Ei and I are gonna help with whatever we can" I grab his hand and smile, trying to calm him down. "I really do love you two. You know that?"

I hear Ei's footsteps down come down the hall. He quickly wraps his arms around Sho. "Didja hear that, Kats??? He said he loved us!!" He laughs out kissing Sho on his cheek. "Ugh. Shut up. Don't start this today" Sho groans out while simultaneously accepting the plethora of kisses Ei is planting on his neck and face. "Come on guys. We really need to figure this out" Sho groans out again. "Fine. Fine." Ei says, stopping. "Let's think this over while getting ice cream" Ei says again. "You're always hungry" I laugh out. "But ice cream does sound pretty good" I say while Sho is already grabbing the keys.

"I'm driving" Sho says in a hurry as he rushes out the door before either of us can interject or argue. Ei and I look at each other and race after him. Sho usually sits in the back, but if he's driving that means either Ei or I will have to sit in the back. And I'll be damned if I'm sitting in the back. Of course I beat Ei to the car. "Who's losing their touch?" I say with a smirk as I hop into the passenger seat. "Oh shut up" Ei pants out as he climbs into the backseat. "Took you two long enough." Sho says turning on the car. "Oh. There's a new rule. Whoever sits in the back, has control of the music. I'm trying to minimize both fights for the passenger seat and the Bluetooth at the same time." He laughs out as Ei and I look at each other. "You know what. Actually. I think Ei should take my seat." I say with a pout. "Nice try. Nope. You won the passenger seat fair and square. It would be rude of me to take it" Ei says connecting his phone. "Ugh fine." I say back, turning back around to buckle my seatbelt. Sho grabs my hand. "You'll be okay" he says in a sarcastic voice. I roll my eyes at both of them.

Sho suddenly pulls the car over. "Did you hear that?" He questions us. "Hear what babe?" We both question back. "The voice. It's back. You both swear you didn't hear it?" He seems frantic. "No. We didn't hear anything babe" Ei says, placing a hand on his shoulder. "Maybe it's their quirk?" I question. "Like being able to talk in your head or something." "If that's the case then we need to work fast on gathering information. What if they can also plant things there too. Like make you see things that aren't there or try to toy with memories or something" Sho says. "We also don't know if there's a distance requirement or anything. It'll be impossible to track them." Ei says out. "You're right. Nor do we know what they look like. All we have is their voice and so far Sho's the only one that has heard it" I look at both of them. This is becoming a bigger problem than I thought. "I really think we should tell someone now, babe" I say to Sho. "I don't think we should investigate this without backup or the rest of the heroes." I squeeze his hand. I keep getting reminded of what happened with Sho. This seems all too familiar. I don't like it. "We need to be careful, yanno?" I say again.

"We always are, babe" Sho says looking at us.
