MATURE WARNING!! BE WARNED!! (Listen to song for best experience~)

Narrator's POV:

After their little water fight, Izuku had went to go take a needed shower while Bakugo waited for the other to finish. Bakugo took this time to think. He needed it, he felt like his mind was all over the place and he needed some thinking time.

First, there was the stalker situation. They couldn't just hide out forever, the public would get confused and wonder where Bakugo went, and he knew Izuku's mom would get worried.

Then, there was his feelings towards Izuku. He didn't know what to call it, was it love? Lust maybe? He also had a familiar feeling, like he had known Izuku before, he just couldn't put his finger on it.

And then he couldn't possibly forget, the anniversary of his best friend's death was coming up fast, he at least had to go visit his grave sooner or later, he had been putting it off for a while now.

Before he could conjure up more things to over think about, Katsuki heard the bathroom door open and he heard little patters of Izuku's feet on the marble floor. He sighed and stretched, standing up and going into the bedroom to get his stuff together so that he could shower. 

Izuku was in the closet changing, and he came out in a long shirt with shorts on. Bakugo yawned and looked over at Izuku. "What do you want for dinner?" "I don't really mind what you make! Just...not too spicy?" Izuku added and smiled a bit awkwardly, Bakugo shaking his head.

Izuku reminded him of Reno a lot, no fucking spice tolerance. At all. "Jesus, what's wrong with spice small fry??" "It burns my tongue!" Izuku pouts while Bakugo chuckles and ruffles the others head.

"Okay whatever, weak ass spice tolerance." Izuku rolled his eyes and sat on the bed.

Bakugo went through his clothes, trying to find something to wear. "Hey, so we need to talk. I'm thinking we're gonna be hidden out here for a little bit." Izuku looked over at him, his eyebrows furrowing a bit as he went to grasp what Bakugo was saying.

"What...what do you think is going on?" "...I'm thinking it's a stalker, they saw me and you together, they didn't like it, and now they're pissed, looking for revenge and shit."

Bakugo took some sweatpants and stripped off his wet pants, only being in his wet black boxers. Izuku tried to focus on the problem at large instead of the hot male in front of him.

"So...what now I guess?" Izuku questioned, watching the other put his sweatpants on. Bakugo sighed and shrugged, getting in the bed and laying on his bed. Izuku huffed and crawled over to him, looking at him with a small frown.

"What am I supposed to do?" "That's not my fucking concern Deku, go...explore or something. Watch TV. Hell, sleep." Bakugo looked at Izuku, uninterested. Izuku just rolled his eyes and got up, leaving the room without another word.

Izuku looked around a bit, peeking into guest rooms and playing with random buttons he found. He eventually wandered off and went into a room, it looked like a child's room. There were toys laid out, the walls were painted a light blue, decorated with planes and little toy animals.

He looked around a bit and saw a picture, it was the same one of Bakugo and that black haired little boy...Reno? Out of the corner of his eye he saw a little music box. Izuku picked it up and gently winded it up, and it opened slowly, the song 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' playing softly out of it.

A signed baseball rose out of the little box, along with a picture of Reno and Bakugo on the back of the little box. Bakugo had Reno on his shoulders, and Reno had a baseball glove in his hand, with a baseball inside of it. Izuku inferred the two had worked together to try and catch the ball, and he giggled softly.

Suddenly, Izuku felt a pounding in his head as picture flashed through his mind. 

'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' echoed in his mind as he heard children laughing, then screaming, then crying. A...room? It was dark, empty, cold..so very cold. Izuku found himself in the room with Reno, it was like a lab of some sorts. He reached out and suddenly Reno's face melted into a pool of blood, he screamed and...

Izuku woke up to Bakugo shaking him aggressively, he gasped for air as he clutched the baseball in his hands for dear life. All he could hear was a pinging noise as his brain tried to process what just happened.

He looked up and saw Bakugo speaking, it seemed like he was panicked. Had Izuku passed out on the floor? His hearing came back and he blinked a bit, panting.

"-zuku!! IZUKU DAMMIT ANSWER ME!!" Izuku gripped Bakugo's hand, finding his words and panting a bit more. "I-I'm here!!" Bakugo calmed down a bit, bending down and feeling his forehead a bit before looking down in Izuku's hand, finding the baseball and the music box.

Deciding to interrogate later, he picks the other up and makes him drop the music box and the baseball, carrying him outside the room, 'Take Me Out To The Ballgame' fading out in the background.
