The Outlet (Depressed/Suicidal/Abused Bakugou)

Chapter 9: Sleepover

It is fairly late, the sky outside the windows of the dorm common room pitch black when the door opens. The students, the entirety of class 1-A excluding Mine*a, are splayed across the living space and look towards the door as they hear it swivel open.

"Bakugou!" Kirishima shouts happily, leaping from the couch and running toward his friend. He stops just in front of him, asking, "How are you feeling?"

Bakugou scoffs, rolling his eyes, "I'm fucking fine, Shitty Hair. Recovery Girl released me and she doesn't release you until she's okay with you leaving. Which takes a hell of a lot of recovery," he says, which is a slight fib.

He did get released by Recovery Girl, and he is better than before, but all she could do for him was give him pain medication. No actual healing.

"Okay, bro. We are planning on having a class sleepover. Want to join?" the redhead asks happily, pounding his fists together.

Bakugou shoves his hands into his pockets. "Why would I do that?" he asks rhetorically.

Kirishima takes him seriously, however, or assumes it is a challenge, and responds excitedly, barely preventing himself from jumping up and down, "Because it's going to be so fun! We haven't had one in a while, it's Aizawa approved, and Yaomomo is going to make us stuff for a fort! And Sato is making cupcakes!"

"Dammit, fine! I'll come! I don't want that sugary crap though. I'm only eat real food." Bakugou stalks off toward his dorm to get changed into his pajamas.

As Bakugou begins to walk away, Kirishima turns and winks to his group, giving a small thumbs up, and calls after the blonde, "Hey, wait up! I'll go up with you!"

Only Midoriya sees the signal, and he furrows his brows in thought, beginning to mumble as he heads to his own dorm to change.

"Hey, Deku, whatcha mumbling about?" Uraraka asks curiously, leaning close to him, hands folded behind her back, to try to hear his mumbles as they head to the elevator.

Midoriya blushes and nearly falls backwards, flailing with his arms, "N-n-n-nothing!"

She hums disbelievingly, but does not ask again as Todoroki narrows his eyes slightly at the green-haired boy, contemplating the words he overheard.

Soon the students are all back in the common room, wearing pajamas and chattering happily as they situate themselves either on the couch, a chair, or one of the five mattresses Yaoyorozu made and pushed together as one massive mattress in front of the tv. Kaminari, Sero, Kirishima, and Bakugou take over the couch, Tokoyami perches himself on a chair, and the rest of the students, besides Mine*a, who was not told about the sleepover, choose their spots on the mattresses.

As soon as spots have been decided, everyone gets to work on building a massive fort around everything, Yaoyorozu creating blankets, pillows, and posts to set it up and many more blankets and pillows to fill it with.

Everyone laughs together as they build. Bakugou finds himself grudgingly enjoying the time as soon as he is dared to make it the best fort he can. Previous to the dare he was grumpily saying that fort building is "childish" and "dumb," in typical Bakugou fashion.

He finishes with his part soon and observes his masterpiece, built up with the poles and blankets, but with "defense" pillows at the base and surrounding it. He wipes his hands off against his baggy pajama pants and fort-fitting shirt and places them on his hips. "Hah! You damn extras can't build forts as well as I can!" he announces triumphantly.

"Bro, that's some awesome fort-building skill! So manly!" Kirishima cheers, pumping an arm in the air from where he crouches, trying to make a pillow stay standing in place.

Bakugou smirks. "Of course. I'm the best fort builder there is."

From the other side of the fort Midoriya calls, "Yeah, Kacchan was always the one making forts for everyone when we were little!"

The girls coo and Bakugou's face goes red. Ashido giggles like a maniac, an evil expression coming over her face. "Hey, Mido? What was Blasty like as a kid?"

Midoriya looks surprised by the sudden question before becoming thoughtful. A large smile then graces his face. "Kacchan was my best friend! He would always save me if I was in trouble, too! He always hated when people picked on me..." he trails off nostalgically.

"So... do you have pictures of baby Bakugou?" Ashido pushes.

A bit confused by why Ashido would ask, Midoriya respons, "Um... yeah. We've known each other forever, so of course I have pictures."

The pink girl squeals, begging to see them when a roar comes from the other side of the fort. "DEKUUUUUU!"

Midoriya pales. "Uh oh..."

An angry Bakugou comes stomping around the mass of pillows and blankets and yells angrily, small explosions coming from his hands, "You better shut up before I kill you both, dumbasses!" Midoriya cowers, apologizing and bowing ten times a second as Ashido laughs hysterically, clenching at her stomach and barely able to get a full breath in her lungs before she coughs it out again in a laugh. "Tch. Idiots," Bakugou scoffs before he turns and enters the fort, going to his spot on the couch.

The blonde boy was allocated his own spot on the couch, taking up about a half of it, where nobody else could touch him. The other three sit down on the other side from where Bakugou lay, still laughing from the "baby picture" incident, Kirishima closest to Bakugou, then Sero, then Kaminari at the other end. The three boys are quite squished, but they are fine with it.

Kirishima slides over a bit closer to Bakugou. "Hey, man. At least you have a good rep in fort making." Several barely concealed laughs come from outside the tent. Bakugou crosses his arms grumpily, pouting. "Haha, alright! Alright! I'll stop!" the redhead chuckles.

Kirishima smiles and slides back to his spot as Sato brings over cupcakes. The class, besides Bakugou, leaps for the sweet little cakes and the blonde watches as they scarf down the disgustingly sugary "food."

After finishing the treat, Kirishima relaxes into his spot, laying down on the couch, arm under his head. Bakugou scowls harder as he looks down at the gap between himself and the redhead. Clicking his tongue, Bakugou looks up at the tv which is beginning to play some dumb movie Todoroki wanted to watch.

The guy literally chose Frozen.

Bakugou rolls his eyes before he closes them, allowing his consciousness to fade into darkness as he ignores the laughing students around him.

As soon as the blonde falls asleep, head lolling to his shoulder as he stubbornly stays mostly sitting up in his sleep, arms still crossed, others begin to succumb to the night as well. It is quite late after all the preparation they did, including waiting for Bakugou's arrival.

Soon, the students are asleep, most cuddled together except for the single blonde boy.
