- 4 days later -

Finally, after a long while, Bakugo Katsuki and Midoriya Izuku could be called friends.

They attended their classes together, hanged out every day and studied their homework. Then they played videogames or hung out with the others, talking and chatting happily.

Each and every day they forgot more and more about the anger from the past, about grudges and hatred... Because new memories were coming in, replacing them: playing board games together, having the time of their lives, cooking together.

And to the duo it was so new to see each other as friends... But it also felt like they were friends since forever.

Bakugo, though, was still very relentless in showing openly the affection he felt for Midoriya, because he thought that if he attached himself too much to him he couldn't have gotten over his silly crush on the boy. Although, it actually worked: in fact, the weird feelings and the random blushes faded away, leaving only some affection as friends.

It was finally the weekend and so all of them were free for the rest of Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Friday was over, it was late at night and all the class had just finished watching an action/thriller movie. Everyone headed to bed besides Midoriya and Bakugo. Midoriya felt really weirded out for some reason, the movie left a strange vibe on him. Although, even before the movie he started having an eerie feeling. Bakugo felt the same, but didn't tell Midoriya so that he wouldn't worry him.

<Deku, are you okay?> Bakugo asked, seeing his friend zone out.
Midoriya shook his head and got up.
<Yeah, yeah... I'm fine, don't worry Kacchan.> he said, his voice a little shaky but convincing enough. Well, convincing enough for a random person, but not for Katsuki. He's lying... Ugh dammit. He thought, looking at him
<All right... Let's head to bed, it's kind of late.> he added, starting to walk towards his room. Midoriya nodded and did the same.

They waved each other goodbye and said goodnight. Midoriya got into bed, curling up into the sheets, not being able to shake off the odd feeling he had earlier.

He closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Images of painful memories he didn't remember ever having flashed before him. And also a strange succession of bits from the movie he had watched and dreams of being chased flooded his mind.

He was so confused as to why that was happening all of the sudden. He moved around in his bed a lot, slightly sweating and whimpering.

Why... What... What is happening?

He felt confused, as a painful sensation ran through his body. Then, the sentence he had tried to leave behind the most came back into his mind.

<Just pray you'll be born with a quirk in the next life and swan dive off a building!>

It hurt him so much, because he heard it so loud and clear, as if he was back there again and hearing them for the first time. He started crying, remembering the pain and suffering he had been through.

Wake up, Izuku. WAKE UP! WAKE UP! PLEASE!

Finally his eyes opened up, while tears rolled down his eyes. His entire body was aching in pain.

I think... I think we're going back to normal... There's no other reasonable explanation for all this pain and weird stuff to be happening all of the sudden. It was about time... Let me go find Kacchan, probably he's in the same situation... He thought, getting up and wiping his eyes.
