Chapter 5 - School

Deku's POV:

I slowly blink open my eyes but groan and quickly close them as a beam of sun blinds me. I rub my eyes to try and get the morning gunk out. I hear soft snores and tiny little breaths and see my precious sleeping soundly on my chest, a little bit of drool on the side of his mouth which I just found adorable even if it is a little gross. I grab a tissue from the side table and wipe his mouth gently, careful not to wake him up.

I look over at the side table and squint my eyes at the clock before gasping at how late it was, 8:41, we have school at 9, shit. I quickly sit up and lightly shake Kacchan awake. I don't want to disturb his sleep but he won't be happy if we are late. Even though he hates school he still tries his best to be there on time everyday without fail. He groans and tries to hide his face back into my chest. I pull him away from me and tilt his face up to meet mine but I kind of want to see his reaction when I tell him the time, I feel bad but it is a little funny. I look into his sleepy eyes and try to keep my voice quiet since he just woke up, he is quite the heavy sleeper. "We have school in 19 minutes, sunshine".

He stares wide eyed and mouth agape at me like I'm some sort of an alien, I control my laugh as he almost falls off me trying to get out of bed, I fail and chuckle a bit as I slowly make my way out of bed at my own pace. I watch in amusement as he trips over clothes trying to get dressed. I stand and walk to my closet, pulling out something that looks decent. He turns to me, finally seeming to have decided his outfit for the day. He looks at me with a questioning look, I nod my head in approval and watch with a swelling heart as a bright as the sun smile comes onto his face. He's so happy over me just liking his outfit? Adorable but it makes me wonder if anyone has ever told him something nice before, surely at least one person has complimented him, right? I really hope so.

He stumbles down the stairs and rushes out the door, barely giving me enough time to cook a piece of bread, butter it and give it to him without anything extra on top. It looks so bland but at least he's had breakfast, one piece of toast is better than nothing, I suppose. I grab both our bags before opening the door for him, even in his rushed state he still has time to blush and slow down his rushing a little bit so he doesn't trip. I open the car door for him as well and wait for him to get in the front passenger seat before opening the trunk and putting our bags in. I get in the driver's seat and start the car, pulling out of the garage and driving down my driveway on the way to hell *cough cough*Sorry, I mean sChOoL. He is still blushing like a tomato even as we head down the main road, all because I buckled his seatbelt for him. Adorable.

I drive us to school and park in the very back of the car park, away from all the other teachers and students. I turn the car off before getting out and walking around to his side to open the door for him and help him out after undoing his seatbelt for him. He looks so embarrassed but I reassure him it's because I like taking care of him and not because I think he is incapable of doing it himself. He cheers up a little at that and happily takes my hand and allows me to help him out of the car. I grab both our bags and pass his to him as I take his hand and lead him towards the main entrance. I lean down and give him a kiss before we part ways and head to our different classes.

(Brief explanation of the school timetable - 9:00 to 10:00 is first class. 10:00 to 11:00 is the second class. 11:00 to 12:00 is lunch. 12:00 to 3:00 are classes. School finishes at 3:00. This is all made up and not based on any real-life school timetables.)

(Skip the first half of the day, timeskip to the class after first break.)

Bakugou's Pov:

I'm sitting quietly in class, minding my own business and not bothering anyone, just trying to complete my work so I can hopefully leave early when the school alarm suddenly rings. My head snaps up at the same time as the teacher and immediately turns towards, the teacher shoots up from his chair and rushes towards the door and slams the door shut before quickly locking it. He runs around closing and locking all the windows and shutting the blinds as he instructs us all to remain quiet. I sit trembling in my seat and quickly pull out my phone to call Deku. The phone rings and rings but he doesn't pick up. A tear slowly rolls down my cheek and I desperately call him again and again, reaching voicemail each time. My trembling increases when I hear gunshots echo through the halls and I sob against my desk in fear.

"Everyone get to the back of the classroom!" My maths teacher yells echoing around the room but falls on deaf ears. Everybody is too scared to listen to reason so yelling isn't going to be any help. I pull my phone out of my back pocket again, about to try calling Deku one my time when I get a call.... from Deku. I hurriedly answered the call and put it up to my ears, listening intently.

"Which room are you in, Sweetheart?" I would have blushed at the nickname if I wasn't such a mess, I could barely even think straight, and the mere thought of a shooter in the school was sending me spiralling.

I wipe my eyes and do my best to stop crying as I shakely reply "R-room 21"

"Okay, stay quiet and don't move, stay in that room, alright?" His voice is stern and it kind of scares so I just agree without question, trying to keep quiet. "I'll s-stay here, p-please hurry" I do my best to make my words understandable and it seems to be good enough for him.

"I'll be there in a minute, sweetheart" I hear more gun shots from his side and wince, praying he doesn't get hurt, I won't be able to forgive myself if he gets hurt trying to help me. "Don't worry about me and do not panic" He orders before hanging up. I whimper and slowly put my phone onto the floor and curl up, wrapping my arms around my knees and hoping this will all be over soon. I just want to go home, I keep wiping my face clean, soaking my sleeves in my own tears but I can't stop them from flowing.
