Unspoken // Bakudeku

Chapter two

"To start your official first night at the dorms, you could come with us to the frat—" he begins, but I interrupt him."Sorry, Kiri, I don't think that's my scene," I say, trying to be polite but firm."Come on, Midobro, it'll be fun! Just a couple of drinks, some music, and getting to know people. No pressure," he says with a reassuring smile.I hesitate, thinking about how uncomfortable I am with parties and crowds, but also realizing that this could be a good way to bond with my new roommate and make some friends. Just as I'm about to agree, I get a call from Shoto. I choose to surprise him at the frat house. He'll probably be there since he lives there and is dating a guy he met there."Okay, maybe just for a little while," I finally agree."That's the spirit!" Kirishima cheers. "We'll head out in about an hour. You can shower first. I'll call Mina to help you get ready." His excitement is palpable. I sigh and laugh as I take my toiletry bag and head into the bathroom. I take my time to wash my hair and body properly. When I come out, Mina is already in the room."Hey Midoriya! Ready for the makeover?" she asks, excited. I'm unsure about her doing too much, but I guess it's about time for a change."Sure, just don't go too wild. Please?" She nods, and I feel a little relieved.She chooses a white compression shirt that's a little see-through and too short, but it looks nice. My tattoo on my waist is easy to spot. It's a pretty big spider on the side of my waist. No one but Shoto and the guy who did the tattoo know about it, and Shoto only knows because he went with me to the shop. She pairs it with black baggy jeans, a belt, and my trusty Dunks."That shirt suits you, Midobro!" Kiri says, but when he notices my tattoo, he stops and then starts talking again. "Damn, Midobro, didn't know you had tattoos." I flush at his remark and stutter out, "Thanks, Kiri." He keeps doing his hair."Now to the face. Are you okay with putting on some makeup? Just some eyeliner to enhance your eyes," she asks lightly, giving me confidence."If I don't like it, I'm taking it off," I tell her, warning her a little, worried. She nods and starts working on it.Once she's done, I look in the mirror, and damn. I look good."I think you're going to have to teach me how to do this," I say, waving my hands in front of my face."I'll teach you everything sometime," she says, smiling brightly.After we're all done and ready, we chill and talk for a bit when someone walks in. Wow. It's a guy taller than Kiri and Sero. He has purple hair, and there's something attractive about him. Maybe his eyes? Or the way his veins pop out or the piercing on his lips?"Ready to go?" the mysterious guy asks."You really should start knocking, Shinsou. But yes, we are," Kirishima says jokingly. "This is Midoriya, by the way," Mina says, leaning on me, smiling. I smile at Mina and look back at him. "Hey," I manage to stutter out. I'm not sure why, but it looks like he flushed a bit. "Hey," he says, giving me a soft smile.We walk to his car and drive to the party. When we get there, it's a completely different world from mine. The music is loud, and there are some drunk people in the yard."We're here," Shinsou tells me. "C'mon." He gets out of the car and walks over to open the door for me. I thank him for the small gesture and wait for him. Mina and Kirishima already went in. He holds out his hand for me, and I hesitate to take it at first. "It's going to be crowded in there. I don't want you to get lost on your first time here." I smile at him and take his hand. As we walk in, the music gets louder, and it's a lot more crowded than I expected. We walk into a room with some couches, and the music seems to be muffled. I see Kiri's and Mina's familiar faces, but my eyes flash to one of the couches where a guy with half white and half red hair is sitting. Suddenly, our eyes meet. He jumps up from the couch, and I let go of Shinsou's hand. We run to meet each other."Izuku, what are you doing here?" he says, letting go and giving me a soft smile."Well, since I moved to the dorms and I knew you'd be here, I decided to come!" I smile brightly at him."Hi, everyone!" I already know the other guys. Denki works at the library with us, and last year me and Jirou were in the same college band, but I ended up leaving. I already met Sero at the dorms. As I turn around to see if I missed anyone, my heart drops to the ground. I never thought this moment would come so unexpectedly. After four years, the moment I feared most has arrived."Right, you haven't met yet. This is—""Katsuki Bakugou." Kirishima starts the introduction, but I won't let him finish."Hey," he says somewhat softly."Don't fucking 'Hey' me, you dipshit," I reply, my words coming out a bit harsher than I intended."I see, pissy as ever, Deku." My heart twitches at hearing the nickname I've avoided for years."Uhm, two questions," Kirishima interrupts. "One, you two know each other? And two, since when do you curse?" Kirishima asks, directing the second question to me."We know each other from middle school, so what?" Bakugou says. His tone is still aggressive and powerful, unchanged over the years."Yeah, and about number two, I've despised that fucker ever since," I say to Kirishima, not breaking eye contact with Bakugou. He looks different now. He's taller, more muscular. His hair looks softer and a bit longer. He's covered in tattoos and piercings—his ears and a septum."So you really got expelled, huh? I thought Auntie was just exaggerating when she told me," I say, laughing."Shut up, Deku."I sit down next to Shinsou, and we talk for a bit about school and our majors before Denki suggests an idea. "Guys, what about a round or two of '7 Minutes in Heaven'?"Everyone agrees but me, of course. I had to be the party pooper. "I don't know, I think I'll skip.""What? Are you a virgin or what, 'Bunny'?" Kami says, the nickname shattering my heart again. She's sitting on Bakugou's lap."Oh, what a surprise, Kami 'the whore' is here," I mutter loud enough for everyone to hear. Some try to keep their laughter in, and some just respond with "burn," "cooked," and other comments."And you should know better than anyone here that I'm a virgin, right? Or did Shindo miss to tell you something?" I say harshly. "I'm not fucking anyone in there, but I'm playing."First round, Shoto and Sero go in. Second round, Kami and Denki. The third round comes, and luckily, I get Shinsou to go in.In the closet, it's hot and tight. I surprise myself by pulling him even closer, and we share a kiss. It's not my first time making out, but it is the first time doing it with a stranger. He moves down to my neck, and my grip tightens around his."Time's up!" Mina screams from outside the closet. We both finally let go of each other. I come out, still red, feeling the eyes on me. Shinsou is holding my hand, walking me to the couch and sitting me down on his lap.Denki spins the bottle again to decide who goes in. "First one's Bakugou." The bottle spins again. "And the second one is Midobro."As I hear the announcement, I choke on the drink Sho got me while I was in the closet. "Hell nah. Not happening. I quit this game." I stand up, down the drink, and walk myself to the kitchen.
