Binding The Truth (MHA Shinsou Angst)

A Good Day (Chapter 3)

Hitoshi POV

  I was silently hugging my knees while sitting in the dark in complete silence and crying when my alarm startled me out of my thoughts. I turned it off before quickly wiping my tears, I grabbed my uniform and binder before heading to the bathroom to get ready for the day. Once I finished getting dressed I checked on myself in the mirror, I had a busted lip, a few noticeable bruises on my face, and the same bruises I had from the other day. I sighed quietly before heading to my room, I grabbed my makeup and applied a little bit lightly on my face, not much to make them completely disappear just enough to make them seem not so bad. Once I finished I grabbed my stuff and left the house, I made sure to be extra quiet when I left to prevent from angering them any further.

  The school morning continued as normal, no one paid any attention to me which I was thankful for. The free period came around quicker than I expected so I quickly made my way to the library and to my table where Bakugou said to meet him. When I arrived he wasn't there so I grabbed my books to study before sitting down and waiting for him to arrive. It was about 10 minutes later when he joined me, he sighed annoyed as he flopped into the chair across from me pulling out his books as well. "Nice of you to join me, I was starting to think you stood me up," I say with a slight smirk, his head jerks to me "You make this sound like this is a date or something, Eyebags," he says annoyed making a 'tch' sound.

  I laugh quietly "What you don't find me attractive, you break my heart Bakugou," I say fake pouting before a smirk returns to my lips. He scoffs a laugh before looking down hiding his smile "You're such a dork," he says shaking his head, I laugh quietly before going back to studying the smile on my face never leaving. We continue to study the atmosphere around us becoming a comfortable one, "Do you know how to solve this problem," I ask him, and he sighs before nodding. He showed me how to solve it and explained it until I understood, he even asked me for my help which I was glad to do. Eventually, the bell rang much to both of our disappointment "I'll meet you here on Monday or whatever," he said making a 'tch' sound after, he tried to hide it but his voice held hope, I smiled "Of course, see you then," I say before leaving after packing up my stuff.

  Eventually, the day came to an end, and training with Aizawa Sensei began, since it was going to be the weekend we decided to train for long hours for today. I didn't mind the long hours of training, it made me stronger, it taught me how to save my energy in long battles, and it meant I didn't have to go home until later. It was around 7 when we finally called it a day, once I changed into my uniform I met up with Aizawa Sensei who was waiting for me. "Good job with training today, would you like to join us for dinner," he asks, I smile "I don't want to be a bother," I say bowing to be polite. "For the hundredth time kid, you're never a bother to us, we're very glad to have you join us, come on, Hizashi and Eri miss you," he says heading towards his car, I smile to myself before following him.

  The ride to his house was peaceful, he and his family lived in a very beautiful neighborhood so I always enjoyed the change in environment when I went to his house. Once we arrived at his house we quietly got out and I followed him, I could already hear Eri and Mic Sensei. They lived in a very nice house, with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, I asked about the 3rd bedroom since they never use it, and they told me it was the guest room but hoped it was a room for another child one day. "I'm home and I brought a guest," Aizawa Sensei says as he enters taking off his shoes, I copy his actions and set my bag down next to my shoes. "Shinsou, so nice of you to join us, it has been a while," Mic Sensei says as he pops his head out of the kitchen giving his husband a peck on the lips. "Thank you for having me," I say as I follow into the kitchen "Shinsou, you're here," Eri says excitedly hugging me, I smile "Hello Eri," I say greeting her.

  We all enjoyed a peaceful meal together, I couldn't eat much which I felt bad about but I guess that's what happens when you go almost weeks without eating. When we finished eating Eri got ready for bed while I enjoyed a peaceful conversation with the husbands. "Anything new happened recently," Mic Sensei asks while smiling, I smile to myself as I think back to my new friendship with Bakugou. "I think I have a new friend," I say smiling "Really, with who," Mic Sensei asks excitedly "Bakugou," I respond "Bakugou, really," Aizawa Sensei repeated. I smile nodding "We sort of just started studying together and now he asks to meet up every day, we even joke around," I say excitedly "Awe, that's so sweet, I never knew Bakugou had a soft side," Mic Sensei says in slight shock. "I think it sounds like y'all two might like each other more than just friends," Aizawa Sensei says smirking, I blush at what he was implying "W-what no, it's not like that, I don't think," I explained whispering the last part quietly. They both laugh "Just calm down and get to know him more, I heard he's bi so just know it's not impossible," Aizawa Sensei says smirking lightly.

  I walked back that night, and even though Aizawa Sensei said he would drive me I still denied it but I proved my point when he started yawning. I didn't mind walking, I enjoyed it, it was peaceful a good way to just think so that was what I was doing. I couldn't help but let my mind wonder what Aizawa Sensei said, Bakugou was bi, he was nice to me, he joked with me, and he even willingly hung out with me but I shouldn't get my hopes up after all I'm not who he thinks I am. I made it back to my place around 10 and I didn't mind that, I knew everyone was asleep and yes, I was going to face punishments tomorrow but that's tomorrow's problem. I had a good day today and these good days are what keeps me going, even on my worse days, even when I know I get beat every day, I get forced to be someone I'm not, and I'm starved every day, these good days are what keeps me going, I'm thankful for these days, these days are what drives me to be a hero.
