Toxic Thoughts

Chapter 6: Sick

After a while, Katsuki finally found the strength to move. He crawled up from his spot, stumbling over to the staircase and letting the warmth fall over him. He sniffled, wiping away the last of his tears as he slowly descended the stairs. He didn't need a mirror to know his eyes were puffy and red from all the crying. Some of his make-up had rubbed off in the snow too, making some of the bruising visible where the layer of foundation was thinned out.

He prayed nobody was in the hallway as he opened the door and for once his prayers were answered, there was not a single soul to be found. He sniffled again, wiping his nose as he strolled down the hallway to his room. When he arrived, he found his door slightly ajar, making him frown. As soon as he pushed it open, he could see why. There was a large container standing on his desk, filled with smaller transparant containers.

He recognized it as the brunch those idiots made. Didn't he lock his door? He must've forgotten... With a click, he made sure the door was certainly locked before walking over to the food. A small note laid on top. He recognized it as Ashido's handwriting.

Hey blasty! Sorry for entering without permission! Your room is super clean though! (I'm kinda jealous) Anyway, we saved most of the food for you if you still want it. We could eat together or you can eat it alone, your call XD
-Ashido Mina (Raccoon eyes)

PS. You gotta lend me some of that make-up some time!!

His eyes widened and his gaze shot towards the small bathroom, seeing the door open, its contents on display for all to see. She saw his make-up... Did the others see it too? Were they here as well? He took a shaky breath as he laid the note aside, seeing there was a backside as well.

PPS. We placed your math book back in the drawer

PPPS. You're drawings are great!!

His breath hitched and his crumbled up the paper, exploding it in the palm of his hand before tossing it in the trash. Staring at the box in front of him, he realised how hungry he was. He clicked it open, taking out one of the top boxes. It was filed with chocolate dipped strawberries. After clicking that contained open as well, he settled down on his bed, pulling his blanket around him as he leaned against the wall, nibbling on the strawberries.

They were sweet, but he didn't really mind in that moment. Slowly, he started gathering more containers around him, spreading them out on his bed as he ate. The food was good... He liked it even though he still felt like he didn't deserve it. Katsuki was glad no one bothered him for the rest of the day and he fell asleep, wrapped up in his blanket, the empty containers littered throughout his room.

"Has anyone seen Bakugou?" Kirishima asked, looking at the empty kitchen. It was almost time for dinner and the blonde hadn't made an appearance yet. He'd been missing ever since the failed brunch and nobody knew whether he was in his room or not.
"Not since he ran off this morning" Jirou answered him.
"Maybe someone has to go check on him?"
"I'm not sure if he would appreciate that..." Midoriya frowned.

"Well, I'm not gonna sit here and do nothing. Wish me luck you guys" Kirishima smiled, getting up from the couch.
"Don't get killed!" Kaminari yelled as the red head walked into the elevator. Eijirou rolled his eyes, pressing the button for the top floor. When he arrived, he saw the ash blonde boy shuffling out of his room, a wide smile appearing on his face.

"Bakugou!"

Katsuki flinched at the loud noise, glaring at the red head as he approached him. Eijirou noticed that Bakugou was wearing a hoodie now, unlike the shirt he was wearing this morning. And his face seemed pale, besides his nose, which looked a little red.
"Don't yell at me" he grumbled, but there wasn't the usual anger behind it.
"What are you doing here anyway? It's almost dinner time..."
