Ground Zero

I don't need help

T.W. mentions of abuse and self-harm 

Bakugo's P.O.V

I run out of class once Deku was talking to Tod-icy-hot. I didn't want to talk to him after what happened earlier, i can't face him now that he knows that I cut. I'm going to have to add to that after my father has finished beating me and because of mom it's probably going to be worse, he's probably going to blame it all on me... 

~skip to when he gets home~

I walked in the house and saw my father at the top of the stairs, he started walking down the stairs towards me so  closed the door and took my school bag off and put it on the floor.

"h-hello sir.."

I stuttered and walked backwards as he came closer to me. He stood directly in front of me and looked at me. He shook his head.

"i can't believe you would drive your own mother to kill herself... This is your fault"

He started to take of his belt and i just stood there doing nothing because i knew that if i did try anything then it would just be three times as bad. I looked up at him then he hit me across the stomach with the belt. he kept hitting in the same spot and then he turned me around and started hitting my back. I tried my best to stay quiet because i learned that if i was to make a noise he would only hit harder. After a while he dropped the belt and punched me in the gut then started kicking me. I winced in pain, i thought he didn't hear it until i felt a harsh kick on my back. I was in absolute pain, my body was shaking violently.

~a hour later~

I was still laying on the floor, I couldn't move I was in so much pain, i slowly and carefully stood up and staggered to my room and closed the door. I walked to my bed and layed down on my side and started crying, I didn't have any energy to do anything else so I just layed there in agonizing pain. 

'your dad was right it is your fault that your mom killed herself. It's all your fault'

I cry harder trying to get that thought out of my head but i can't, it is my fault that she's gone, if i tried a bit harder and wasn't such a disappointment then she might still be here.

~the next day at UA~

i sit in my seat and listen to music, not paying attention to who was coming in the class i didn't want to talk to anyone. after a while there was a shadow standing over me, i look up and my gaze is met with todo-half n' half's. I take my earphones out.

"what the fuck do you want half n' half!"

i yell at him but not to loudly because i don't want to much attention brought onto us, he just looked at me with a 'you know what' look. i looked at the door and that's when Mr aizawa walked in, thank god i don't have to talk to icy-hot.

~another time skip to lunch bc im lazy~

i stand up and go to walk out the door but Mr Aizawa called me back because i was the only person left in the room. i turned to look at him.

"yes..?"

i say getting anxious 'what if todoroki told him?'

"i need to talk to you, can you sit down please"

'Dammit he knows doesn't he...' i sit down in a chair and he stands in front of me.

"Bakugo.. do you know why i want to talk to you..?"

i shake my head no and look away from him

"is there anything going on at home that i need to now about?"

I freeze up thinking about what my father would do if i said anything but i also thought about if i did tell. I would get out of there. Aizawa must've noticed that something was going on because he was now kneeling in front of me 

"Bakugo..i can't help if i don't know what is going on"

i stood up

"I don't need help, i'm fine!"

I yell before walking out the class up to the roof because i didn't want to talk to anyone, especially icy-hot. i sat down and looked out over the city and put my music back on.

Todoroki's P.O.V.

I walk out of the class after the bell and wait outside the class for Bakugo to walk out and when i heard him yell i sigh quietly and look towards the door. When he walked out he obviously didn't notice me because he just walked past and headed towards the roof. I felt concerned and i want to talk to him as well so i follow him but not too close so he wouldn't notice me

 I made it to the roof I look around and spot him. He looks peaceful and calm, i sit down next to him and wait for him to notice me. Which he did not too much later. he took his earphones out and looks at me

"what do you want icy-hot.."

Bakugo was calm surprisingly i thought he was going to scream at me and tell me to fuck off which is what he normally does.

"can we talk?.."

I spoke softly like i did yesterday.

"about what? about how weak i am because i cut myself?"

I look at him in slight shock and shake my head

"Bakugo you are far from weak you are one of the strongest people i know... I just have some questions"

he looked at the floor.

"it's just going to be the same bullshit that Mr aizawa asked me...."

i sigh and take his hand softly he flinches slightly and i give him a questioning look.

"i just want to make sure you're okay.. i want to help you"

he looks at me like he has just seen a ghost but soon relaxes and sighs.

"i-i uh i don't need help to- peppermint"

he looks away blushing i can see that his ears are red, 'wait why is he blushing.?.'

"bakugo look at me... please"

I'm still speaking in the same soft tone that i was earlier. He slowly turns to look at me.

"It's okay to need help it doesn't make you weak, okay, please trust me.."

i can see the tears in his eyes, they slowly fall down his face, i pull him into a tight hug and he hugs back

"shh its okay. I'll help you through this mr aizawa will as well we will stop whatever or who ever is hurting you. i promise that i will be here for you bakugo.."

he looks up at me with teary eyes as if he's asking me if i'm telling the truth.

"i mean it bakugo and im not leaving anytime soon"

i look in his eyes and see a glimmer of hope in his eyes before he hides his face in my chest and squeezes me tight. The door opens and Mr aizawa walks out and looks at us.
