Silence

~Chapter 5~

"Stop walking beside me extra."

Katsuki grumbled, trying to walk faster and outpace him. It was Killua's first day of public school, and he was already hating having to wear a uniform. I don't see what the point of going to the last few weeks of middle school is. But whatever. Killua grumbled internally, picking up the pace to keep up with Katsuki. "I don't know where the classroom is. Moron." As they were walking, two teens approached them. One of them had long brown hair, and the other had black slightly curled locks. "Hey Katski!" The brown-haired one said, with a grin. "Who's this?" Katsuki scoffed. "Some stray the old hag picked up." Killua rolled his eyes at that remark. Is he insistent on hating me for no reason?

"Oh, man that sucks. So you're like his babysitter or something?"

The other one chuckled, eyeing Killua's cast. Killua let out an exasperated sigh, just wanting to get to the damn classroom already. "I mean kind of. I just have to tolerate him for now." Killua was just so fed up with this jackass that he didn't even bother replying, just strolled on ahead of him as the three began chatting amongst themselves. Fine, I'll just find the class myself. As he was walking through the halls a plain-looking messy-haired teen nearly bumped into him, too busy muttering to himself to watch where he was going. Killua had to take a step back to avoid it, snapping his fingers to get his attention. "Ah I'm sorry, I got a little lost in thought-!" The boy paused as he laid eyes on Killua, appearing confused. "I've never seen you before."

Killua slid his phone out of his pocket in order to respond, although it was really starting to piss him off how slow communication was, especially because he could only use one hand. "I'm new here." The messy-haired boy's face contorted with confusion for a moment, before he had a moment of realization. "Oh- can you not speak or something?" Killua nodded, glancing around for his room number. As he was doing that, the plain-looking boy began to speak. "That's kind of inconvenient, what if you're doing something like running or eating?" Killua shrugged, he didn't really see a reason why he'd need to speak doing either of those tasks. "Oh, sorry. That's not important, is it. My name's Izuku Midoriya!" He said, with a friendly smile. Killua grabbed the form with his class number, showing it to Midoriya and hoping he'd take the hint.

Midoriya peered at the form, before glancing up at him. "Oh, we're in the same class! I can take you there if you'd like. Oh- what was your name again?" He asked. "Killua" Midoriya smiled. "Alright just follow me Killua." And with that, he was off down the hallway. Killua followed behind him as he made his way to a room further down the hall. There was barely anyone in there yet, just a few other students "Most of the seats are full, except for the one behind Kacchan..." Killua could hear the nervousness in his voice and he glanced up at Midoriya. That's a weird name. "Oh, it's a nickname," Midoriya said hurriedly, reading the confusion on his face. "His real name is Bakugou. He can be kind of a jerk sometimes, just as a warning."

Oh, I'm gonna have so much fun with this.

A cutesy nickname to harass his new roommate with was the perfect way to get back at that blonde jackass for ditching him when he was supposed to be showing Killua around. Killua took a seat in the chair right beside Midoriya's, ignoring the conversation he was currently trying to start. Killua wasn't too fond of small talk, he'd only really spoken to the guy so he could find his classroom. To Killua's delight, Katsuki was one of the next five people to walk in the door. It was far too early though, he had to wait until the room started filling up. His roommate didn't so much as glance in Killua's direction as he sat down heavily in front of him with an unpleasant scowl on his face. Killua waited until 90% of the class was in the room before beginning to type out his first response, a catlike grin finding its way to his face.

"Hey Kacchan."

Immediately several students in the class began staring at Midoriya, who had a deer in headlights look on his face. Assuming he was the one who had done it, since he was presumably the only person who used the nickname. Katsuki however, knew exactly who had done it. Having memorized the sound of the specific app Killua used to speak through. "Do you want to die today cloud hair?" He threatened, refusing to even look at him. Killua found it amusing that despite knowing his name, Katsuki still refused to call him it. "That doesn't sound very hero-like. Kaachan." Killua replied, smirking at the back of his head. Katsuki began to twitch, hands clenching on the desk. "Why the hell are you hanging out with Deku of all people?" Killua assumed he was talking about Midoriya. He shrugged in response, typing quickly into his phone.

"He was showing me to class. You know, that thing you were supposed to be doing Jackass."

"So you're only doing this to piss me off!?"

Katsuki shouted, finally whipping his head around to glare at him. Killua still had that catlike smirk on his face, causing his roommate to stand up so fast his chair slammed into the front of Killua's desk. "It's bad enough I have to share a fucking room with you. The least you can do is keep your damn mouth shut while we're at school!" Poor choice of words. Killua thought, with a snicker. "I'm mute, dumbass. My mouth is closed." Katsuki suddenly snatched his phone and slammed it down onto his own desk with a haughty chuckle. "There, problem solved." He's such a pain in the ass. The only reason Killua hadn't been quick enough to grab it before him was because doing so would've wrenched his healing arm. Killua flipped him off with his free hand, kicking the chair so it slid hard into the back of Katsuki's legs, causing his knees to buckle.

But he's kind of fun to mess with.

To Be Continued...

I decided to give Killua and Bakugou a more of 'asshole cat loves messing with dog' kind of dynamic. except the dog is also rabid, if that makes sense. I just think it fits
