A Shared Delusion || Kacchako

Chapter Fourteen: Changing

I wrote a chapter and it was super long so I decided to spilt it into two chapters, so this is relatively short

When they walk through the doors Ashido immediately runs up to Uraraka and embraces her in a suffocating hug.

"Uraraka!!!!! Are you okay?! Everyone is catching up! What happened to you during the whole thing?! Tell me all about it!"

Uraraka nervously chuckles and is about to speak but is saved by Aizawa Sensei.

"Everyone..." he pauses to yawn. "I'm glad that you're all safe and hope that all of your loved ones are the same. Today's schedule will be quite different than normal. There is an assembly first, and then lunch, and then your academic classes. There will be no hero classes today." A groan rumbles throughout the whole room. "Quiet down," he says in monotone annoyance. Everyone lowers their volume and picks up where they left off. Uraraka and Bakugou look around the room and notice that everyone is there. Jiro's listening to music next to Kaminari, who's talking with Kirishima. Aoyama's looking at himself in the window reflection and Mineta's trying to sneak looks at Yaoyorozu, who's doing homework next to Todoroki. Sero's asking Koda if he would try to use his quirk on Tokoyami. Midoriya's chatting with Asui and Iida about the recent events, and Ojiro, Sato, Shoji, are trying to guess how long Hagakure's hair is. As soon as Kirishima sees Bakugou, he rushes up to him.

"Yoooooooo Bakugouuu! What's up?!"

"Fuck off Shitty-Hair," Bakugou replies in annoyance.

"Oof, someone's grouchy today! I shall relieve you of my presence Sir Bakugou." Kirishima says unfazed.

"Tsch."

Uraraka steals a glance at Bakugou while Ashido deafens her. Bakugou gives her a secret smile and walks away toward his seat. The rest of advisory goes on as usual, the only thing out of the ordinary is the tension between Bakugou and Uraraka. Throughout it, they keep looking at each other and blushing–and people notice. The bell rings and they all head to the courtyard for assembly. Principle Nezu stands in front of the microphone and greets all of the students. He starts off on track: talking about the recent events and hoping that everyone and their loved ones are okay, but eventually he goes off on a tangent about his sleek, white fur. This is the cue to most of the students to zone out. Midoriya is standing next to Uraraka and they begin to whisper to each other. Uraraka giggles at something he says and Bakugou jerks his head up from staring blankly at the ground. Once he sees Uraraka talking with Midoriya, rage fills his entire body. He coughs loudly to get her attention. Recognizing the sound belonging to Bakugou, Uraraka tries to subtly look back at him. She's startled when she's greeted with a glare. She raises her eyebrows as if to question and he answers by violently shifting his glance toward Midoriya. Uraraka follows his gaze and frowns once she realizes why Bakugou is angry. Midoriya notices the strange interaction between the two, and looks back at Bakugou, who immediately flips him off. This being normal for their interactions, Midoriya just looks back at Nezu and tries to listen, but can't help thinking of all of the weird ways Bakugou and Uraraka have been interacting since they got to school. He remembers that he had seen them walking to school together and a feeling builds up in his chest. He isn't quite sure what to label it. Uraraka is trying to communicate with Bakugou via a series of spastic eyebrow movements, but both of their attentions are quickly brought back to the principle at the mention of villains.

"Can we please applaud the valiant efforts of all of the authority figures and Pro Heroes that worked hard to apprehend the villains and protect the citizens," Nezu says. Everyone applauds, and the hero teachers up on stage smile and wave kindly at the recognition. "Now, I would like to say that everyone was accounted for today and for that I am extremely grateful. Countless others were not as lucky. It was indeed all human made, which is why there weren't multiple preemptive warnings. That is all the information I am disclosed to share with you all. Let us all please take a moment of silence for those affected by this tragedy."

Everyone bows their heads and partakes in a few minutes of dead silence.

"...Thank you. I hope that you all have a safe day. You're dismissed."

They all file back into their homerooms where they wait for the advisors. Bakugou slumps into his usual chair and stares daggers at Uraraka and Midoriya. Uraraka ends the conversation with Midoriya and turns in Bakugou's direction. She widens her eyes at him and then walks out to 'go to the bathroom'. A few seconds later, Bakugou follows. He's walking down the hallway when a pair of hands grabs his shirt, and pulls him into a corridor.

"I'm allowed to talk to him!" Uraraka whisper-yells. "I know you guys have history, but it's not my fault that you guys aren't mature enough to work it out. And anyway, it seems like you're the one who is causing all the problems!"

"Oi Round-Face shut it with that. Did I fucking say you weren't allowed to hang out with him. I just can't stand it when you let such a fucking piece of trash hang out with you–"

"He's not 'fucking trash'. He's a really great person who is trying his best to achieve his dream, which I admire him greatly for. And by the way, it's not very heroic of you to bully someone. Get over yourself Katsuki."

Bakugou's fists are clenched and he's holding back the sparks from evolving into a higher grade explosion.

"IF YOU THINK SO HIGHLY OF HIM WHY DON'T YOU JUST FUCK HIM ALREADY. YOU JUMPED INTO BED SO QUICKLY WITH ME, AND I'M SURE THE KID HASN'T SO MUCH AS HELD HANDS WITH SOMEBODY!"

All the passion that had shown on Uraraka's face vanishes. Sheer disappointment takes its place.

"....wow... I thought you knew me better than that Bakugou."
