-Cloud 10- A KiriBaku Fanfic

Chapter 3. -A Quick Change Of Thought-

That's right, still Kirishima's POV:

Bakugo continued to look out the window of the bus. Well I now had nothing to do so I took out a book and started reading it. About an hour passed and I noticed Bakugo was already leaning his head back on his seat. He looked tired. Probably wasn't getting much sleep recently. I wonder why. Soon enough he fell asleep, sitting upright for quite a while. He seemed uncomfortable due to the position he was sleeping in. I'm guessing his neck is going to hurt when he wakes up, well that is if he doesn't wake up till the end of the trip. I continued to read my book, and plot twist it made my eyes start to hurt. I mean they always did, that's probably why my test scores are so low. I hate studying or even reading in general, so why am I reading you may ask, well that's because I simply have nothing better to do. About half an hour later, I felt some pressure on my left shoulder, so I looked down at the source of weight. Bakugos head was now leaning on my shoulder. Sleeping quietly, this was the first time I have ever seen him this calm. I should probably wake him up or he'll be mad at me when he wakes up. But I couldn't get myself to do so, he looked like he really needed this. Deciding that I should just let him be, I closed my book and looked out the window. I tried to forget the fact that my friend was casually sleeping on my shoulder but his calming breathing didn't let me do so. I could feel his warm arm touching mine. It was nice to see Katuski like this sometimes. So relaxed, as if he let all his worries wander away though I knew that he wouldn't let that happen. But maybe if I believe that he is finally at peace, maybe I would stop worrying for him. Why is that a good thing you may be wondering, well if I stop worrying he would stop thinking I am pettying him, though I know I am just looking out for him. Looking out for him, you know the thing friends do for each other. His breathing slowed down and his leaned more into my shoulder. I felt his soft hair that always looks so rough against my neck. Honestly kind of comforting despite all the times he snapped at me. I distracted myself by listening to music and looking out the window, where the clouds started to cover the sky. I could see the wind picking up, blowing the leaves from the trees. Observing the beautiful fall trees as we darted pass them. The weather was looking more like "Fall". Or whatever I considered Fall anyway. Time passed quickly, and we had already spent 5 hours on the bus. Why did they pick a camp so far away from the city? The sun was setting and the moon started to creep up. It started to get dark early recently. Well not much of a surprise. The bus got slightly colder and no one seemed to be putting on their lights so I guess I won't either. In his sleep, Katsuki moved his hand closer to mind, it felt so cold. I pay more attention and notice that he is shivering, trembling slightly. He was cold, wasn't he? Knowing him he probably didn't bring any blankets because he's so "tough". I carefully got a blanket out of my bag making sure I didn't wake him up. I gently laid it over his body, covering his legs and most of his chest. I didn't know what possessed me to do this, but I had to. I knew Katuski didn't like the cold, he never explicitly told me why but I'm pretty sure that it's because of his quirk. A defect I suppose? I felt him relax more and slightly grip onto the blanket as if he didn't want to let go. Soon enough we arrived to camp. Trees surrounded me everywhere, the moon shining brightly down on us. I carefully and cautiously shook Bakugo awake. He slowly fluttered his eyes open and sat up. He looked so dis-coordinated and confused. His confusion was quick to disappear as he looked around the bus then at me. He didn't say anything, then he looked down and noticed he was under my blanket. Not knowing what to do I simply say "We're at camp". He looked out the window pausing for a moment to admire the darkness lurking the forest. To my surprise all he said was "okay". But why, I thought he would freak out and start yelling. A soft beeping sound slightly audible, whose only purpose was to receive attention yet not startle. After the quiet sound, a speaker went on the bus intercom. "Everyone get your stuff and go to your assigned cabins to drop stuff off, then meet up at the fire ring." A voice said, Mr Aizawa's voice it was. Everyone started to get up and walk through the aisle to the door of the bus in order to exit. It was obvious that Katsuki was avoiding eye contact with me. Well I did just put my blanket on him, but did that even matter? We quickly left the bus, and walked to cabin 4 where we were assigned to stay. It was silent the entire walk there, though I didn't mind it. At all. I got to admire the dark lurking shadows the tree-filled forest held. The forest was surrounding me, so I might as well say hello and get to know it. I observed the dark spots between the trees that seemed to be filled with even more trees in the background. Crickets and frogs were heard in the background oh and owls were too. Taking the lead, I walk up to our cabin and slowly open the door. It's a pretty cabin, definitely a cozy vibe. Almost a place where I could spend all day with my friend. But wait, Katsuki would never, he would never want to spend a whole day just sitting and talking. As Katsuki walks into the cabin, from behind me he throws his stuff on one of the two beds. "I'm taking this bed dumbass" He tells me. I nod and smile, then I put my stuff down on the other bed. "Here let's go to the campfire ring, or wherever Mr.Aizawa told us to go" I say suggestively. He nods and we both head outside. As we met up with the class at the fire ring, everyone was already there. Why are we always the last ones? No idea. "Hello everyone, again. Before I set you guys free there are rules for camp. One, stay in the same cabin as your assigned person. Two, no training or overusing quirks. The whole point of this camp is to fully heal you from recent villain attacks. Three, no breaking, destroying and or damaging anything on the property." Mr. Aizawa explains. Everyone nods, and soon enough the crowd dissolves. Most went to the cabins. Honestly, I wasn't tired but I could tell Katsuki was. Even though he slept for so long on the bus, he still seems worn out. "So what do you want to do to pass time?" Bakugo asks me in a more apathetic and bored tone. "We could go to the pier" I suggest remembering yesterday's memories hoping he would agree. "Sure" The simple words came out of his mouth. Though they were simple, they had a tint of emotion. That's all I care about though. We walked to the pier which stood on top of a large lake. It was completely dark outside, yet the stars illuminated everything so brightly. We peacefully walked along the pier, admiring the calm water. I wonder if the water is cold. We reached the end of the pier and Bakugo sat down on the edge. It was so quiet. Time has passed, wait a lot of time has passed. I didn't even notice. However, I did notice Katsuki yawning. "Let's go back, you need to rest." I say gently hoping he wouldn't get mad. "Sure, we'll train tomorrow." He says his voice sounds exhausted. I wonder if he was sneaking in extra workouts. He has to be, if he wasn't he would still have energy at this time. Going back to the dorms we quietly talk about quirks. I hope he likes talking to me. Because I sure love talking to him. I wish he would have more normal conversations with me. Like about friendship, instead of quirks. Sometimes it feels like he does want to talk like friends, but I guess he's not really the emotions type. I get it, totally.
