Toxic Thoughts

Chapter 20: Aftermath

Bakugou ended up falling asleep on the couch in Kirishima's arms not much later. The red head was a blushing mess and both Kaminari and Ashido teased him about it while taking pictures. Everyone was relieved to have the ash blonde gremlin back, even if he was beat up. They were glad he'd never have to return to that house again and never see that abusive witch anymore.

Later that evening, the boxes from the Bakugou household arrived. There were plans to renovate Katsuki's part of the dormitory, seeing as he was a permanent resident now. He had an empty room next to his so the wall between those two would be broken down. The part of the hallway in front of those two rooms would also become part of the bigger whole, making the hallway shorter than others in the building. He would get his own bathroom and living room, together with a small kitchen. It would be like a small apartment of his own, his little home within the dormitory.

Katsuki slept right through the rest of the day though and the class decided it was better to leave him be on the couch. They put a pillow under his head and a blanket over his body before leaving to their own rooms to go to bed. When Bakugou was still sleeping the next morning, the students decided to make that whole brunch thingy over again. They had most of the ingredients anyway and there was a supermarket not so far off.

It was quite a sight, seeing class 1-A try to cook together while being as silent as possible so Bakugou wouldn't wake up. When they were almost finished, Katsuki started sleep-talking. Something he did often if the class had a say in it.
"Kiri... Kirishima..." he mumbled, his face still neutral, unlike the times he was having nightmares. The red head blushed as he heard his name fall from Bakugou's lips. He always called him Shitty Hair or hair for brains but never Kirishima. It almost sounded strange coming from him...

"Eijirou... S-stop... Tickles" he continued, a small giggle escaping his mouth. The class fell silent. Did the Bakugou Katsuki just giggle? Impossible. But then it happened again, and Bakugou turned around on the couch, laying on his back, smiling.
"Seems like he's having a good dream" Denki muttered, elbowing Eijirou with a smirk.
"Oh hush" Kirishima muttered, his face the colour of his hair.

Katsuki squirmed before laying still again, his eyes slowly opening. He sighed, dragging a hand down over his face.
"Fuck" he muttered, letting out a small yawn as he sat up. He squinted his eyes at the rest of the class, glaring a little.
"What the hell are you all staring at? I fell asleep on the damn couch, so what?" he grunted, standing up.
"Ugh, I feel like shit..." he added as he rubbed his eyes, glancing at the table.

"What the hell is this?"

"We made you brunch! Again!" Mina smiled, guiding the ash blonde to the table.
"The chocolates are still in the making though"
"And you're not allowed to walk out on this one!" Denki added. Katsuki silently sat down and everyone began the chatter happily while sitting down around him, enjoying the brunch they made together.

Bakugou started gathering some things on his plate he remembered to be good the last time he ate it.
"Hungry?" Jirou asked, raising a brow.
"Fucking starving. I only ate, like, 4 protein bars yesterday and they tasted awful" Katsuki mumbled, making Momo choke on her drink.
"I did sleep better than ever so I'll have to thank the old healing lady for exhausting me"

"All Might told me you'll have to go back today for a second healing" Deku spoke up, making him huff and mutter out a sarcastic 'great'.
"You seemed to be having a great dream before waking up" Sero chuckled as they continued to eat.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" Bakugou barked.
"You talk in your sleep blasty" Ashido laughed.
"Yeah, you have the cutest giggle, oh my God! It was so adorable, I still can't believe it came from your mouth" Uraraka smiled.
