A Second Chance (BakuDeku Normal High School au)

Chapter 9

Tw: f slur ⚠️⚠️
Deku's Pov
I'm assuming that Kacchan picking me up is going to be a normal thing now. At 7:30 I hear his car. I rush outside and jump in the car. We have a normal conversation. We listen to the radio. That's it. I really want to tell him about Kirishima. Instead I keep my mouth shut. He must have noticed how tired I looked.

"You look like a zombie. Did you get sleep at all?" He throws a concerned insult.
"I'm fine. I just couldn't sleep last night." I tiredly state.
"No one says they're fine if they're actually fine." He tells me. "What's going on?"
"I said, I'm fine." I kind of snapped at him.
"Whatever you say."

Bakugo's Pov
Something was obviously bothering Deku this morning. I don't know what though. He snapped at me. He never does that. Even when I basically betrayed him in 6th grade. I still remember that day.

Flashback to the 6th grade~
We were at recess and I just made this new friend, Kirishima. Deku saw us and came running up to me.
"Kacchan, guess what I just found out! They're making an All Might movie!" He excitedly half-yelled.
"You mean that nerdy super hero?" My new friend jeered.
"He's not nerdy he's awesome." Deku defended.
"Yeah, he totally is nerdy. Right Bakugo?" Kirishima asks me. I didn't want to lose my new cool friend so I agreed. The look on Deku's face was pure heartbreak.
"See! Let's get going Bakugo. We don't want to contract the loser disease from him." Kirishima taunts.
"Yeah. You're right. See ya' never loser." I said straight to Deku's face. It some how looked more broken than a second ago.
Flashback over~

From that day forward we bullied him constantly. I remember feeling guilty at first, but then it just became a thing. Even then he didn't get mad at me. So, what is bothering him? Anyways I saw him walk into the cafeteria for lunch. He doesn't come to sit with me though. I decide to go over to his table. He flinches when I was about to talk. Ooh! Guilt hits me.
"Why aren't you coming to sit with us?" I question.
"I just have nothing in common with anyone there. I'd rather read comics." He simply responds.
"What is bothering you? I can't figure it out." I ask.
"Don't worry about it. It's nothing." He says.
"If it was nothing you wouldn't of said don't worry about it. What is it?" I ask persistently.
"Do you really want to know that bad?" He pleads. I nod.
"Fine. I just didn't sleep and am cranky. So, leave me alone!" He snaps at me again.
(Deku's thought: I really don't want to tell him or hurt his feelings. I feel bad. I'll just apologize later.)
After that I just got up and stormed off. I'm skipping the rest of the school day. He didn't have to get so mad like that. Who am I kidding? He should be mad at me. This is all my fault.

Deku's Pov
After Kacchan stormed off, 3 people come my way. Oh no! Kacchan can't protect me. I'm so pathetic. I need someone else to protect me.
(Kiri speaking)
(Monoma speaking)
(TetsuTetsu speaking)
(Izuku speaking)
"Oh no! Did your protector leave you? That was quite the mistake of his." He cracks his knuckles.
"Why don't we have a little chat outside?"
"Yeah, let's go chat."
I know that this is stupid but I follow them outside. We go all the way to the back of the school. I'm about to get beaten to a pulp. Kirishima holds me by the collar against a brick wall.
"Useless trash! Look at me." I quickly look up at him.
"How about we have some fun?"
"Pl-please d-don't h-hurt m-me!"
"Oh now that you asked nicely we won't.... Sike!" He drives his fist into my stomach. I cough and try to get air. Then all 3 of them start beating me up. It feels like hours. They're spitting insults left and right. It hurts so much.

"Pl-please s-st-*cough*- stop."
"How about... No!"
This probably has only been like 10-20 minutes but it feels so much longer. I think they might be getting bored. Suddenly I'm thrown to the ground and spit on by one of them.
"Learn your lesson next time, f#g!"
They all walk away. I feel my consciousness going in and out. Everything goes black.

About an hour later~
I wake up in the same place behind the school. Everything hurts so much. I don't even think I can stand. I decide my best option is to call Kacchan.
Ring~
Ring~
Ring~
"Kacchan, ugh... c-can y-you come... come t-to pick m-me u-up?" I say to the phone.
"What happened? Where are you? I'll be on my way." I hear him say in a worrisome tone.
"B-behind the *cough* the sc-school. I-I'll ex-explain *cough* the re-rest l-later." I say barely being able to speak above a whisper.
"I'm on my way now." He hangs up.

A few minutes later I see Kacchan run towards me. He picks me up and throws me in his car. Not really throws.
"Jesus, what the f##k happened?" He says sweetly but aggressively.
"I got beat *cough* u-up." I tell him.
I tell him everything that happened. Even about Kirishima calling me that horrible word.
"I will seriously f##king murder those #ssholes!" Kacchan yells in anger.
"N-no! It's fine, I'll be fine seriously! *cough, cough* It's fine!" I try to say.
"It's not f##king fine. You look terrible!" He yells. I flinch.
"Sorry. I didn't me to yell at you." He calmly tells me.
"It's fine." I say before coughing again.
"Stop saying that! You were beaten to a bloody pulp." He tells me sincerely.

Bakugo's Pov
"I'm taking you to my place to fix you up. No questions asked." I say firmly.
"Ok." He complies.
I drove us all the way there. While driving I take in the full extent of Deku's injuries. His whole face is bloody and bruised. He has no idea where his glasses are. Whatever he has others. I didn't get a great look at the rest of him but it's gonna be bad. I can tell. This is way worse than any time I've beaten him up. We pull up to my house and get him to my room before my parents can ask questions.
"Ok can you take your shirt off so I can see all of your injuries." I ask Deku. I know he's hurt but I'm kinda happy I get to see his body. Ugh! Don't think like that, Katsuki!

Deku takes his shirt off and oh my god! It is so bad. He has a big bruise across his entire stomach. Blood surrounds it. Smaller bruises are all over. I take a better look at his face. Both eyes are black. A swollen jaw. A busted lip. Bruises everywhere and anywhere.
"Oh my god! This is so bad! This is my fault for leaving you." I almost cried.
"It's not your fault. You had the right to be mad. I lied to you." Deku tries to reassure me.
"Don't blame yourself. It's the #ssholes faults." I say after a moment of consideration.
I start cleaning him up. He hisses in pain.
"I know it hurts, but we don't want them to get infected." I tell him.

After a while of cleaning up to the best of my ability, I tell Deku he should go rest. He agrees. I drop him off at home. I am so going to have a word with those #ssholes. No! Deku doesn't want that! He said if I do that then I'll be just like them. I don't want to be like them. I hope Deku gets a nice night's sleep, he deserves it. Who could hurt someone as adorable as him? I know that sounds hypocritical, but I won't ever hurt him again. Now it's time for me to sleep. I shut out my lights and go to sleep.
