My Expiration - BNHA Bakushima Fic

10

Kirishima takes off my t-shirt and works on stopping the bleeding from my shoulder. I stare at my expiration date.

09-30

What the fuck? Two whole days now?? God damn it. Even though I tried to push him away, he still ended up sacrificing another day for me. "...Why would you even want to waste 48 precious hours on me, of all people?" I ask Kirishima. He seems surprised by my statement. He stays silent while he's holding a large cloth over the gunshot wound. "I... Because I like you, Katsuki." he says. I look down at the floor. "That doesn't mean you should waste it on me. I'm literally a ticking time bomb. In two ways." I say, unamused by the pun I accidentally made. Kirishima thinks it's a little funny, though, and he laughs just a bit. He'd probably be wheezing if the situation wasn't so dark.

"I'm willing to give up all of my time if it means you keep living, Katsuki." he says while smiling, completely serious. I widened my eyes. He's really thought about this. Over and over again. And he's one hundred percent sure that's what he wants. I look down to the floor, too ashamed to look at Kirishima. Too ashamed to even think I had a chance at growing our relationship. Because I really thought we could be... a couple.

I place my hand on the hand Kirishima is using to stop the bleeding in my shoulder. He looks up at me. "Please don't give up your own time for me. I feel bad letting you do it." I say, still looking at the floor. We sit in silence.

"... I just don't want you to die." Kirishima says. I feel myself clench my jaw. "Kirishima, I'm going to die anyways. It's more painful to live everyday knowing I'm taking time from you rather than just accepting my death." I say. "I've already accepted my death anyways..." I trail off. Kirishima's hand clenches. "But..." I shake my head. "Please, Kirishima. Let it go." I plead. He sighs. "Ok, fine." He looks sad and depressed. Will my death really mess him up that madly?

Just as I'm about to ask Kirishima that, Recovery Girl and Mr. Aizawa came running into the room. Recovery Girl quickly attends to the wound with tons of medical equipment, far more efficient that the first aid kit we found. Aizawa and Kirishima went outside to assist Half n Half and Deku in finding the guy who shot me. I turn to Recovery Girl. "Did you know that Kirishima was...?" I trail off. She nods without me saying it. "I was aware. It only took a look at official records and your current dates to understand what was going on. I was sure Kirishima knew, but it seems like you very recently found out." she says. I nod. "How do I make him realize that I don't want his help?" She thinks for a moment. "I'm not sure. It's very hard to predict fate, after all." she says. I nod again. Seems like that's all I can do lately.

She finishes wrapping my shoulder. "Don't put any excessive force on it for a while. You can use it, just don't use your quirk with this arm, or lift anything very heavy." she says. After that, I go outside and search for Kirishima. It takes me a while, but eventually I find the group heading back to the dorm building. "Did you extras find anything?" I ask as I walk up to them. Half n Half shakes his head. "They must've gotten away." he says. "... Why would someone target UA students? Bakugou especially?" Deku mutters to himself. Aizawa speaks up. "I want to know how they even got on the property. I'll alert Principal Nezu immediately. You boys shoulder get some rest." He walks away from us, going back to the dorm building to alert the rest of the faculty about the break in. This is freaky...

We all listen to Aizawa and go back to our dorms. I close the curtains, a little paranoid of keeping them open. I immediately go to bed, careful not to lie on my wounded shoulder.

The next morning, I'm woken up by a knocking on my door. I groggily stand up and open the door, revealing Four Eyes. "Good morning Bakugou, I hope you slept well. Aizawa Sensei is asking that we all come down to the common area for a meeting. Attendance is mandatory. Class 1-A will not be attending classes today. " he says, moving his arms in a robotic movement. I nod, then close the door.

Is this about last night? Well, that's understandable, but cancelling classes for us? Isn't that a bit much??

I change into some comfortable clothing, careful with my shoulder, then make my way downstairs. Once I get there, I realized everyone else in class was already there, and were waiting for me. I sit on a sofa next to Kirishima.

"Ok everyone, there's a reason why you don't have class today. And it's not because we were feeling nice today." I hear a few quiet groans come from the morons of the class. "Last night, on his balcony, Bakugou was shot in the shoulder." Aizawa says, pointing towards me and my shoulder. Everyone looks at me. I sink back into the sofa. "We were unable to locate or identify the villain responsible." Ponytail raises her hand. "Aizawa Sensei, doesn't UA High have a security system that goes off if anyone who doesn't have a school ID enters the property?" she asks. Aizawa nods. "I was going to get to that. That leaves three possibilities of what happened." he continues. "One, the villain somehow found a way to get in, such as hacking. Two, the villain was let into the school by someone inside. Or three, the villain is someone from the inside." he says. Everyone goes quiet.

He's basically saying there's a traitor in UA. So why is only class 1-A being held "hostage"?? "The reason why you don't have class is for an investigation. We have some officers and pro heroes coming in to conduct some investigations on every one of you. So do not leave the dorm building under ANY circumstance, or we'll immediately consider you a suspect."

This is literally house arrest... With all that said, Aizawa goes to another part of the building. I guess he's not allowed to leave, either. Makes sense, I guess. We all sit together, still in the common area. Kirishima leans over to me. "... I kinda hope, if there is one, the traitor is Mineta." he says. I raise an eyebrow. "I really don't like him." Kirishima says. "That's pretty understandable." I responded. I take out my phone and fiddle with it for a while, browsing multiple different websites while we wait for the investigators.

Eventually, some adults come into the building. Aizawa greets them at the door. "Ok, this is how this is gonna work." one speaks up. "We're going to pull each of you one by one into a separate room, where we will ask you a few questions. We have someone whose quirk is to identify lies, so don't even bother lying to us." he says. We all listen carefully.

They start at the top of the list, starting with that French Guy. They continued calling people until they called my name.

I walk into the room and take a seat at the desk. There's one man sitting on the other side of the desk, and a woman standing behind him. She must be the lie detector?

"So Mr. Bakugou, we are aware that you were the victim of this crime. Do you have any idea who the person who shot you could be?" the man asked. I think for a moment. "Well, the only person I can think of is a group of people, the League of Villains. But other than that, not really." He nods, turning around to the lady. She nods her head as well. He turns back to face me. "Now, out of anyone in UA, who would you immediately think would be the traitor?" he asked. I raise an eyebrow. "How should I know? Might as well be that stupid grape thing, he's fucking disgusting." I growl, leaning back into the seat. The man gives me a confused look, then turns to the lady. She shakes her head, confusion and disappointment written across her face.

"Ok...?" he says. They ask me a few more questions that I give pretty vague answers to. Not because I felt uncooperative today, but because I really didn't have any deep answers to give. The lie detector lady confirmed that everything I said was true, despite being pretty useless information.

At the end of the interrogation, the man sighs. "Alright, one final question." he says.

"Has anything strange been happening in your life lately?"
