Hero | Katsuki Bakugo

Change

It had been a very long week since the Kamino Ward incident. I had holed myself up in my room as I recovered from the fight as well as adjusting to knowing everything. My friends had tried to text and call, even coming to see me but I'd shut them out anyway. I didn't mean to self-sabotage everything, I just needed time to get my shit together.

I was packing away any essentials I needed into boxes, UA had been dorms that way the students would hopefully be safer under the care of UA themselves. I was upset seeing as I would only see one parent mainly, but my dad did promise to still teach as much as possible on days he had time. I was thankful Aizawa would be living there long term as well, he's just as much of a dad to me and I was thankful for him all the same.

I packed all my photos away, tucking them into my bag so I could put them up in my new dorm. After Kamino Ward and my secret becoming known by literally everyone, not much has changed when it comes to how my classmates treat me. In fact, they don't really mention it when we talk which is really nice. I heard a knock on my bedroom door, not exactly wanting to see anyone so I ignored it hoping they would go away. Who ever it was knocked again, but I still ignored it.

"You're an ass." Katsuki said as he barged into my room and roughly pulled me into a hug. I stood stiff, scared he was going to yell at me before I felt his shoulders slightly shake. "Katsuki?" I said as I hugged him back tightly as we sat on my bed.

"You get into a huge fight, you regain your memories and then you disappear at the end and ignore us all for a week!" His cheeks were tinted red and his eyebrows knit together as he looked at the ground.

"Kats, I'm sorry. I'm just overwhelmed I didn't know what else to do." I said, my voice dripping with guilt as I came to realize all the damage I had been causing. He pulled me into another hug as we sat there looking at my boxes thrown across the room half packed. After a few moments we finally stood off the bed, I went towards one side of the room while Katsuki went to the opposite side and helped me finish packing.

By the time we were done it was seven o'clock and I was extremely fucking tired. I had been moving everyday and my body was slowly giving out on me, seeing as I hadn't let myself rest fully yet after the fight. I sighed as I slumped onto the living room floor, laying on my back as I listened to the TV. The news was still talking about the fight, me, All Might, and who would become the new 'Symbol of Peace'. I scoffed as I sat up, both mine and Endeavors faces displaying on the screen as they talked about our strengths and weaknesses.

"Well, The Spider is young and agile and definitely one helluva fighter for sure. But she's only seventeen so she still has a lot of time to mature." The man on the screen said as his annoying and blonde co-host stepped in. 

"Yea, but Endeavor has a short temper," I snort at the comment, "He's too rough around the edges, but he has more experience in this kind of stuff. It's definitely a tough decision for the citizens to make, but I know in the end it'll be alright either way." I turned the TV off, not wanting to hear anymore bullshit.

"I don't want to be number one, I just want to be normal." I mumbled into the air, the front door opening as Aizawa and my dad walked in, smiling widely at the sight of me finally out of my bedroom. "I'm sure it'll be alright, kid. Besides, give it to Endeavor and then become tied with Hawks for number two. I'm sure people won't be mad." Aizawa said as he jokingly nudged me with his foot as I crawled towards them as if I were dying in the trenches. I giggled, pushing his foot away as I forced myself to stand up.

"Maybe, we'll see how it all plays out." I turned back to Katsuki, who leaned against the wall, smiling at me as we looked at each other. Before I left, or was kidnapped anyway, Katsuki and I had talked about dating. We both liked each other enough, and that was all we needed. Now it's a bit different, a lot has changed and I have no idea if his feelings are still there. I knew deep down in my own heart they were, and even just getting to know him all over again the last few months have definitely had me thinking a little too much about him. But I didn't want to talk about it now, not after everything that's happened to me.
