Little Kacchan

Part 7: Information

Deku POV:

I wake up the next morning because of the sunlight in my eyes. It was Sunday. I sit up, and realize that Kacchan is still next to me.  Should I wake him? I figure that I should.

I poke his nose a few times. His little face scrunches up, then he yawns. "Morning, Kacchan!" He looks up at me and smiles. He sits up, stretches, and gives me a hug. "Hi Deku."

I get up, and he follows. I take his hand. We go down to the first floor to eat. When we get there, only a few of our classmates are seated and eating. "Where's everyone else?"I turned to Iida, who answered my question.

"Most of them have already finished eating. You two slept in late today." I looked down at Kacchan. He was looking at Iida.

"Thanks Iida." I pick up Kacchan and walk over to a table. I sit him next to Kirishima. Suddenly, I feel my phone vibrating."Can you please watch him for a minute?" Kirishima looks at Kacchan, then back at me. "Yeah, sure thing!"

Bakugo POV:

Deku pet my hair and left. What was he doing? I feel a hand on my shoulder, and I look up to see Kirishima. "Hey man, it's okay. Midoriya will be back soon." I was about to ask what's going on, then someone came over.

"Awww! Hey Bakugo!" I look over to see Round Face- I mean Uraraka. I just stared at her. I didn't know what to say after yesterday. I really quickly looked away, then looked down. She must have known that I felt uneasy.

"Hey, I won't hurt you! The other girls and I talked about yesterday." She put her hand on my leg, but not her pinky. She probably didn't want to make me float. The other girls appeared behind her.

Ashido started talking. "Yeah, we're really sorry about before. Can you please forgive us?" She bowed her head down. All of the other girls started saying their own apologies. Then, they waited for my answer.

I spoke the best I could. A small tear went down my face."Yeah, it's fine." I quickly looked away to hide it. Why were they all so nice to me? They should hate my guts, but they don't.

"Hey, don't cry." Yaoyorozu walked over, and Uraraka stepped back. She gave me a hug. She smelled nice.

I slowly lifted my arms and wrapped them around her neck. All of the other girls looked at this and smiled. They all said "Awwwww!"

Yaoyorozu pulled away. She smiled and gently pinched my cheek. I smiled back. All of the other girls walked over and pet me. It was a little weird, but at least they weren't flinging me around.

They all cooed, called me cute, and giggled. Jiro, I think her name is, played with my hair and said that it was soft. This led the other girls to pet my hair.

"Are you girls sure he's fine with this?" I looked over to see Kirishima. I had completely forgotten about him. The girls looked back at me. Uraraka asked "Are you fine with this, Bakugo?"

I wasn't sure how to answer. The attention did feel nice, but I didn't want to be touched so much. I opened my mouth to say something, then Deku came back over. "Deku!"

He smiled and came over. All of the girls turned to see him. They moved aside so that Deku could get to me. He bent over and picked me up. "Thanks for watching him!" He smiled at everyone and walked away with me.

"Deku, what about food?" I was really hungry. "Sorry Kacchan, but we have to eat later. Mr. Aizawa called, and he wants us in the principal's office soon."

We went up to Deku's room. He got me dressed in one of the outfits that my classmates got me. It wasn't really that bad. It was blue shorts and a black t-shirt. Deku then got dressed and grabbed his backpack.

He took my hand, and we started walking to UA. What did they want? I guess I'll figure that out soon.

Deku POV:

As we neared the doors of UA, Kacchan asked "So what do they want?" Honestly, I didn't know. Mr. Aizawa didn't give me any details. He just told me to bring Kacchan with me to the principal's office. "I'm not sure. We'll just have to see when we get there."

We reached the office and knocked. "Enter!" A small and cute voice that sounded like Principal Nezu answered. I opened the door and walked in, still holding Kacchan's hand.

We walked to the center of the room and stood in front of the principal's desk. On one side stood Mr. Aizawa, and on the other was Recovery Girl. "You wanted to see us, principal Nezu?" Nezu's expression didn't change.

"That I did. I called you in today to talk about Bakugo's current situation." I was about to speak, but Nezu kept talking. "Recovery Girl told me what happened. Based on the details that were given, I say it's safe to assume that Bakugo was attacked by the villain who escaped yesterday. Is that correct?"

I nodded in agreement. Nezu kept talking. "We are still unaware of the villain's identity, but we do know that Bakugo will stay like this until the villain is captured and changes him back herself." I looked down at Kacchan. He just stood there listening to Nezu speak. "Up until now, we had no idea  what this villain's quirk was. Before she was first captured, she had killed thirty-two children, which we can now tell were all once adults and teenagers."

I felt Kacchan's grip tighten in my hand. I rubbed it with my thumb to make him feel better. He soon relaxed.

"Also, each of her murders were exactly thirty days apart. We can only assume that this is the downfall of her quirk. Once she uses it, she must not be able to use it again until thirty days is up." Nezu got off of his chair and walked over to us. He stopped in front of Kacchan. Surprisingly, Kacchan was shorter than Nezu.

"I'm sorry Bakugo, but you are going to be like this for at least another month. There is nothing we can do about it for now."

Kacchan said nothing. He just looked down at the floor with a sad expression on his face.

Bakugo POV:

I can't believe what I'm hearing. Another month of being like this!? I could hardly stand a day. I looked back up at principal Nezu. Wait, was he actually taller than me?

I tried to show them that I was fine, but I ended up sounding quiet and disappointed. "It's okay..." I wanted to leave. I couldn't be here anymore.

Deku broke the silence. "Thank you for the information, principal Nezu." I couldn't tell what he feeling. He didn't have any emotion in his voice. Deku turned around, still holding my hand. We walked out of the office, and started back towards the dorms.

About halfway back to the dorms, my stomach started to growl. I still hadn't eaten anything today. "Deku, I'm hungry." He stopped and looked around.

We walked over to a bench. I tried to get up myself, but I ended up falling backwards. Deku caught me, then sat me on the bench. Why can't I do anything myself!?

Deku opened his backpack and pulled out a small plastic bag with cookies in it. "Here, you can have some. My mom made them. Even though I left home, she still likes to cook for me." He had a slightly embarrassed look on his face.

Deku POV:

Kacchan was hesitant, but he took the little bag that was in my hand. He opened it, and took out a cookie. When he bit into it, his face lit up! "Deku, these are good!" He started to take bigger bites. Kacchan had always liked my mom's cooking.

"Kacchan, I get that you're hungry, but please slow down. You're going to choke." He didn't hear me. He was happily munching on his cookie. He looked so cute!

I pulled out my phone and took a picture of this. Kacchan looked up, confused. "Did you just take a picture of me?"

I giggled. "Yes I did. I want to remember this when you get back to normal." Kacchan just looked at me, then went back to eating his cookie.
