Make it stop!

Chapter 17

"I hope you don't hate me for what I did."

"What?" Bakugo blurted out in response, wholly unaware.

He sat waiting for an explanation. The other girls didn't intervene, the room was closing in with only Bakugo and Jirou in the confined area. Mina was hesitant to say something to diffuse the tension and decided to stay quiet. She had to trust that the two would figure this out, all they needed was to communicate.

Bakugo crossed his arms with impatience whirling around him. "Oi, earphones. Don't just ask me that without an explanation. Why do you think I hate you?"

"You don't? It's for the argument we had." She sulked.

Oh, it was about that argument. It was a significant memory that etched in Bakugo's mind but it didn't have her attached to it or to blame. Simply, it was a moment of feeling too overwhelmed and losing himself when ripping his legs apart. As usual, a shiver rolled down his spine as he remembered that dreadful day. He takes a moment to close his eyes before speaking. It made it easier without seeing the eyes staring. "Yes, things happened but we were both stressed. I don't think about you being responsible so you shouldn't either. Shit blows out of proportion."

"I see..." She breathed raspy. Was it assurance or the remaining fear inside?

The blonde could tell from her face that she still worried about the situation but he struggled with emotional support. This was more of a Kirishima suited task. As the shitty hair wasn't nearby, he would have to try his best to be some sort of comfort - he wasn't heartless to leave her like that. Like a light bulb turning on, Bakugo got an idea on how to go about it. He looked around at the girls and harshly grabbed Mina's phone. She shrieked and tried to tackle the blonde into getting it back but he was pushing her head away with his knee as he scrolled for Jirou's contact to send a message. Once finished, he chucked it back to Mina who had her eyebrows pressed. "BAKUGO-"

"Shut it Pinky, I didn't look through your shit, I just needed to type something."

Mina turned her head and saw Jirou smiling and realised. He texted her something as he did struggle with being vulnerable verbally, she knew that so it can't be denied on the smart idea he came up with but with her phone? She couldn't find how that part became necessary.

The boy stood up and trudged away with his hand on hip. "Hah, now I have places to be so you're little make-up session will have to wait. Later extras." He shuts the door and cackles, quickly walking to the lift and pressing the fifth floor. The girls left behind resumed their conversation about pineapple on pizza. They also felt hyped that Bakugo didn't decline the offer to have a makeover. It was definitely going to happen!

The tape-user named Sero was sitting next to the lovebirds, the third wheel he was, while his friends made out next to him.

Kaminari traced along the spiky hair that he's grown to love. They pulled apart and looked at each other lovingly. Sero sighed. "Vida de soltero para mi," (single life for me)... he mutters to himself.

"Babe can we go on our first date tomorrow?" Kirishima grins.

"OF COURSE!!" Kaminari squealed at the top of his lungs, nearly combusting in happiness. There was nothing else he wanted!

"I have an idea where to take you."

"WHERE, WHERE?!" He bounced impatiently, wishing for answers.

"Shut up Denks you're gonna bring the whole class over." Sero teased.

"Eee, sorry sorry! I'm just so excited! I don't know if I'll sleep tonight."

Kirishima chuckled at his adorable boyfriend. He deserved the best and he was sure he could provide that or well, try his best to. A joke spread around the class used to be about the pair sharing brain cells but they never knew that it was hearts too that they shared. Luckily, Kirishima had a few days to think of where they could go and the best place would be the theme park nearby. The Pikachu adored going on roller-coasters so it was a perfect choice, plus he can also show off his manly skills at the mini games!

It wasn't going to go well, Bakugo thought. It's definite he will be told off by his teacher for leaving without permission. Was it worth it for a monster can? Yes, it was.

You fucked up. You fucked up.

Bakugo bashed his hand against the door to silence the chatter inside. He heard footsteps and then watched as the door swung open. Eyes met each other.

"Hey... sensei." Bakugo looked at his shoes.

"How? What?" Aizawa paused. It made no sense as he was sure Bakugo was in the spare room. How did he even...? Shit, he really needed some sleep. Talk about being sleep deprived.

The blonde takes a few steps inside. "Okay, so I sort of left without telling you but... I was thirsty for a monster."

He was willing to risk it all for a damn monster. Aizawa sighed. "You are such a problem child. If you do this again I'll have you on a leash."

Bakugo chuckled in relief, he knew he was let off the hook. He ate a plate of his sensei's delicious stir fry and then went under his blankets to sleep. The full Monster Can was left inside his bag, whilst the duck sneaked out and slept in his arms.
