My Expiration - BNHA Bakushima Fic

2

I sit at my desk, fiddling with my pencil.

It's Wednesday now. Three days till Friday. Though, it's basically the end of the day, so it might as well be two days away. Every time I think about it, it kind of makes me anxious. Which is something I don't normally feel, even around this time of the year.

I recently remembered something someone told me a while ago, back in middle school. They said that it's rumored that once you get to the final minutes of living, your expiration date gains a year. That could explain why some people die of really random stuff, like car accidents or freak accidents. Maybe they were in a rush to get out of the area in a panic, and leap right into fates arms.

I shake my head, trying to forget that last part. It kind of freaked me out. It's freaky to think about. My thoughts are interrupted by the caterpillar. "And that's it for the lesson today. I didn't think we'd finish so early. We still have ten minutes left." he says tiredly. "I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I'm gonna take a nap. I had to stay up for two nights straight grading your essays from the other day. I need to talk to... some of you later." He glares at a few people, specifically Dunce Face, Pinky, and the Perverted Grape Thing. He then zips himself into a sleeping bag and sleeps behind his podium.

We all sit in silence for a moment, not knowing what to do. Dunce Face speaks up. "I guess we can do whatever we want...?" he suggests. "As long as it isn't loud or destructive, I suppose it's fine." Sonic says. Everyone stands up and goes to their friends to talk. And just lucky me, the entire "Bakusquad" joins me at my desk. They're all so loud.

I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look behind me to see Kirishima. Suddenly, my discussion with Jiro yesterday entered my thoughts. During the first date... "Hey, I figured out where we can go!" he says, smiling. "Where?" I turn in my seat to face him. "Well, I was thinking we could do a few things, since I couldn't choose just one. So I was thinking of a movie first, then we can get ice cream or coffee or something, and then we can do this surprise I thought of!" I raise my eyebrow at the mention of a "surprise". "What's the surprise?" I ask. "Sounds like you're going to try and kill me or something." Kirishima shakes his head. "No, I'm not going to murder you, dummy! But it's a secret, so I can't tell you!" I sigh. "Fine, sounds good. When are we doing this?" I ask. "I was thinking Friday, since it's the beginning of the weekend." I nod my head. "Alright, sounds good. Where do you want to meet up?" I ask. "How about the front gates of UA, so we can walk there together!" Kirishima suggests. "Okay."

The conversation turns from the date to other things. I honestly don't remember what they were about, though, since I zoned out for the majority of it. I was too busy thinking about the date.

I scroll through my phone while lying on my bed. I'm pretty bored. I already finished all of my homework, so I have nothing to do. I've just been scrolling through Tik Tok and Instagram. I'd never admit to anyone that I use, Tik Tok. I hide the app in one of the folders on the home screen.

As I was doing that, there was a knock at the door. People don't usually knock on my door unless they want something from me. Whether it's going out with people, or a need for a loan (which I know they won't pay back), or anything like that, they always need something from me. I groan quietly and walk to the door.

I opened it to find Kirishima. His hair is kept up with a white bandanna. "H-Hey Bakugou! Um, I was wondering if you could-" I slam the door in his face. See? Told ya people only come to my door when they need something. "O-Oh, that's ok! I was just gonna ask for help with the homework... Maybe I can ask Kamin- no, that's an awful idea..." My god, he keeps muttering. It reminds me of Deku and his annoying voice. Gotta make him shut up.

I quickly open the door and pull Kirishima in, then slam it shut. I walk away from the red head and sit at the table in the middle of the room. "I don't have all night, so hurry it up. The homework was easy, so I don't understand why you couldn't do it." I state, crossing my arms. Kirishima stands in the same spot for a moment, not moving. I glare at him. "Are you gonna sit, or are you going to keep staring at me like a moron?" He snaps out of whatever he was thinking about and walks over. "O-Oh yeah. Whoops."

We spend about an hour doing the homework. I won't lie, it was quite a lot of homework that we got today. He was having trouble with a lot of the stuff, mostly math. I sigh. It's getting kind of late...

"Do you need to go to bed, Bakugou?" I look up at Kirishima. "No, I'm fine. Keep working." The red head frowns, but turns his attention back to his work as instructed. Another few minutes pass. I'm starting to get kind of tired. I yawn. Maybe a little light sleep wouldn't hurt...

I wake up to something next to me making a noise. I can't see what it is. My curtains must be closed. I look down at the thing I'm holding. It's hard to make out, but it's really fluffy. I rest my hand on it. It's so soft... I run my fingers through it for a while, until the thing moves. And it made a noise.

Oh god, what the hell is this. Don't tell me it's some wild animal that got in. I don't think my window is open? Uggggh, what the hell is this thing?

The thing starts moving up. I quickly closed my eyes, but kept them open enough to see what it was but not so much that it saw I was awake. Maybe if it thinks I'm asleep, it won't attack me. Just staying on the safe side. My expiration date doesn't really tell me about injuries. The red blob sits up, and it's until now that I realize it's a person. How the hell did I not notice that. A light switches on. "... Aw crap..." a voice mutters. The figure stands up and turns towards me. I quickly shut my eyes completely. A soft but happy sigh escapes the strangers mouth. The fuck? I feel a hand softly place itself on my shoulder and shake it. "Hey Bakugou, get up. We have school." I groan, pretending to still be asleep. So Kirishima was the stranger.

...

WAIT WERE WE- "Bakugouuuu, get up!! We're gonna be late!!"
