Sedative (Katsuki Bakugo x Reader)

Moving In

Your POV

My dad told me that UA was building a dormitory for the students and teachers to live in. I didn't know how to feel about it. We would be moving out of our house and living full-time on the UA campus. So, in just a few days, we packed up our house, sold it, and waited a couple days for the dorms to be finished.

It was hard for me to be happy about anything these days. My normal outspoken and cheerful personality had dulled since I was captured. I was just so tired and anxious all the time. I never got more than 4 hours of sleep at a time because of my nightmares, and it was starting to show. My eyes had grown a pair of dark circles under them.

However, I was glad to see my friends again. Maybe being around them would help me get back to normal. I had gotten better at controlling my reactions to my nightmares, so I wasn't worried about waking them up throughout the night. I knew they were bound to see how worn down I was, but hopefully I could fix it before it became a problem.

After all, I was supposed to be a hero. How could I save others if I couldn't save myself?

Anyway, my dad and All Might had to go to all the students of Class 1-A and convince their parents to let them move into the dorms and continue going to UA. He asked me if I wanted to go with him and All Might, just to try and get me out of the house. He said I didn't have to come in if I didn't want to, I could just wait in the car.

I agreed, shocking us both. In all honesty, I really didn't want to go. But I hoped that getting out of the house and maybe being exposed to some sunlight would help.

I quickly put on a pair of jeans and a tank top, seeing as it was still pretty warm outside. I also put on some make up to hide the dark circles under my eyes and make me seem more alive. It wasn't too much, just enough to hide what I was going through.

My dad and All Might both wore their dress pants, dress shirts, dress shoes, and ties. My dad also pulled his hair back away from his face in a professional manner. All Might's arm was still in a sling and his head was bandaged around the top, but he looked much better than he did a few days ago.

We all made our way to the car and sat down in our respective seats. All Might sat in the front next to the driver, while my dad and I sat in the back. I didn't say much, just looked out the window as the car drove.

I didn't come in any of the houses they went to so far, just sat in the car with the driver. Neither of us talked to the other, but it wasn't really awkward. I'm pretty sure we both didn't want to be here.

They had just finished talking to Jiro and her parents. They had come back out with another yes. Every one of the student's parents so far had said yes. I was shocked, but happy about it, nonetheless.

As we got back onto the road, my dad spoke to All Might, "Y'know, I thought the parents would come down on us a lot harder. I suppose... I owe you a drink."

All Might chuckled before replying, "No thanks. I can't drink. Besides, it's not a contest. Plus, the next family... probably won't be so easy."

My ears perked up at the sound of that, "Are we going to see Katsuki's family?"

My dad and All Might glanced at each other wide-eyed. This is the first time I had spoken since we left today. "Uh, yeah. Do you want to come in with us?" My dad asked cautiously.

"Yeah... If that's okay." I hadn't seen Katsuki since the police station. We had texted a bit, but I had kinda dropped off the grid for a bit. I barely even had the mental strength to pick up my phone and answer a text most days.

"Yeah, of course. I'm sure Bakugo will be happy to see you," All Might said, turning slightly to give me a smile. I nodded in reply.
