A Gap Towards A Good Relationship

CHAPTER 2: An end to a beginning

<in the dorms>
{Midoriyas POV}

Knock Knock

I knock on bakugos dorm room. I wonder why he wanted me to meet him here. I think to myself as I open the door to see Bakugo. He sat on his desk reading something on a page of his notebook. Whatever it was, it made him look sad, but when he noticed I came in, he looked like he always did mad full of anger. He looks at me and puts the book away like he didn't want me to see it.. or see me. Probably both

"Hey Kac- I mean Hey Bakugo..." I realize I keep calling him kacchan, but now it hurts to call him that I know I called him that in middle school when we didn't like each other or he didn't like me but now it's different like it feels like I'm forbidden to say it and when I do it feels like a insult but not to him. to me.

"Why the hell does the whole class know we broke up? Why couldn't you just keep your God damn mouth shut for once." Bakugo said in an angry tone but also calm at the same time. Like he didn't want to hurt my feelings but wanted to sound angry. It confused me why would he sound so calm to something I knew made him mad?

"I'm.. sorry Bakugo, I didn't mean to cry, but everyone was stressing me out. I didn't know what to d-"

"Just shut up, alright!? It's my fault- I thought you could keep your mouth shut about something like this. " A little bit of sparks came from his hands when he talked, looking a bit more angrier than he did before.

"I just wanted you here so we can fight. Maybe if i beat you hard enough, you can shut up." He smirked, and the small sparks became bigger.

A.. fight!? In the dorm room? Is he going crazy? First, the new cuts, then he wants to fight..? I don't know what has been going on with him, but something is off.

"Kacchan, what's been up with you!? You've been acting so different since yesterday when we broke up."

"Shut up and fight me!" He said, getting up and into his fighting stance.

"I don't want to fight you!"

"Then I guess you'll just have to dodge or run away, you damn nerd, huh?" Bakugo said as he immediately blew an explosion at me.

I dodged. Luckily, I wasn't too distracted. What is going on!? I can't fight him.. not right now... but I need to stop him somehow, but how? I sit there trying to dodge his explosions, but the anger in his moves makes it impossible to get room to speak.

"ARE YOU JUST GOING TO RUN YOU NERD!?" Bakugo says in a raging voice

I keep trying to dodge but it's starting to get even harder to even move without getting caught in his explosions. I fall onto the ground. Hard. Bakugo throws me against the wall and smacks me across the face.

"STOP IT AND FIGHT ME LOSER!"

I sit there using my quirk at 5% to make it do less damage to my body and to him. He tries to hit me again, but I dodged and while he's still running toward me I try to say something to maybe distract him.

"BAKUGO, STOP! you're just getting out of control. You broke up with me and started to cut yourself again. If there is something wrong you don't need to tell me, but you're different than before maybe you want to explain what's going on with you!?"

I know i said I was not going to be there for him, but he's not the same and it's all my fault he's now like this even though we're not dating we can talk because we're friends.. right?

I look at him.. we're both standing in the silent room. The only thing heard is the sound of our breathing. He paused before he inhaled and spoke again.

He looks at me, and he talks to me again in a calm voice he says, "What are you talking about, Deku?"

"Don't act like I didn't see them. You're cutting yourself because of me. Am I wrong Ka- I mean.. Bakugo?"

He lifts his arms slightly and looks down at them. The bandages wrapped around them falling off slightly. He looks back up at me with an annoyed face and speaks again.

"Don't act like you know what you're talking about. It's none of your business what I do to myself, and dont think im going to talk to you. We're not friends and I'm not planning on being friends with you ever again.. It was my fault thinking you were ever worthy of being "friends" with me."

He looks tired after that tears start to come out of his eyes. He wipes them off his face and walks over to the door and opens it. He gestures to me to leave.

"Get the hell out, and don't get in my way. I'm going to be the best hero you have ever seen you hear me, not even you can stop me got it?"

I tried to get up, but it's hard to move. I start to look at Bakugos room while I begin to leave. It's plain.. not a single thing on the wall and nothing to decorate his room other than a desk bed and closet. I limp to his desk and find that notebook he was writing in. I know it's not right but I smuggle it while he was not looking towards me. I leave and go straight back to my dorm.

When I get to my dorm I go to my desk and open up the notebook. A diary..? For almost every single day... I get lost in my own thoughts as I read.

X/XX/XX ( Three days before the breakup)

Dear diary,
"It's all going to be my fault I'm going to have to break up with the one person I ever really loved, but it was going to happen anyways right? I don't know what to do I have no choice but I can't tell him straight forward that will just hurt him even more than I already am. If only I wasn't like this I wouldn't have...."

The rest was unable to be read because the ink was completely smudged by.. water? Wait no... Tears..?

I close the book and set it down on my desk. I mutter to myself thinking of what that diary entry could have meant....

"Well it was written 3 days before we broke up... And it sounded like the break up was planned... So does that mean he wanted to break up sooner? No.. that's not like Kacchan.. so that must mean... No.. but there's no other option.... Does he.. still love me?"

I snap out of it and decide to maybe just go down to common area to get a glass of water and take my mind off of this.. Walking down the hallways I tripped and fell... I feel so weak after that small fight with Bakugo.. maybe I should go see Recovery girl tomorrow....
