Texting At Midnight

Chpt: Seven

Bakugou lays on his bed staring up at the white ceiling in his room. It had been a long day at school for him, since summer vacation was coming up that also meant finals were nearing. He wasn't too worried about passing his classes but finals always made him stress.

What his plan was is to just study and try to be as less stressed as he can, he will try to be. Bakugou was also worrying about another thing, his mom.

Bakugou's mom has yet to come home in about a week. This was normal but usually when she came back he would get yelled at or have things thrown at him.

She wasn't abusive; he knew that for sure, he understood why she acted like this. She only started to act out when her husband died, Bakugou's dad.

Bakugou's dad died of a tumor that was found on the right side of his brain. It was devastating finding out that he only had a few months to live. Bakugou tried not to rely that one day he would be without his dad.

Both him and his dad were very close to each other, they would always talk about random things and watch tv together and even go to the park. Bakugou never understood why he picked his mom.

His mom was loud and always in a bad mood. He knew his dad could do better but never said that to his face. When he died Bakugou tried to keep his head held high because he knew his dad would have wanted that.

The week after his dad died his mom started to act up. She started to get less sleep which caused her to snap a lot. She started to leave for weeks before coming back to just yell then leave again. Bakugou knew she left for work but sometimes he wondered if she left to just leave him behind.

The day she finally snapped on him was Christmas. What happened was that Bakugou got his father flowers for his grave but his mother started to yell and scream at him that he would have hated them even if he was alive.

Bakugou knew that he shouldn't let these words get to him but that night he cried himself to sleep. After that day she would always yell at him.

Only recently she started to throw things at him, nothing that could kill him but books and random things around the house would cause bruises on him.

Bakugou only had one year until he could leave and finally be in a home that had no hate.

Bakugou took after her mom, he was short tempered but tried to handle it on his own. He had a few tricks here and there to help calm himself down.

At school he wasn't popular due to always looking pissed off or just not having friends.

He had friends now, well he thinks he does. The chat that he goes on feels like they are his friends. They even called him one but Bakugou just feels like this is just going to last for a little bit longer.

He was fine with that, he was just glad that he could feel wanted for just a little bit longer.

A buzzing noise breaks his thoughts, it was his phone. He opens his phone and sees that Kirishima had texted him.

Just Kirishima, no one else. This made Bakugou's eyes widen with shock. He wondered why Kirishima, the nice and cool guy, would text him.

Without another thought Bakugou opened his phone and went to text him back, trying not to smile too wide.

Bakugou's face felt as though it was on fire, he had idea why he was feeling this way. He had only known Kirishima for a couple weeks now, in Bakugou's mind he didn't believe that it was possible to have a crush on someone he's only known for a while.

The blonde has always liked guys, he's just never dated one before. Bakugou just never found the right guy, also he didn't like people. Bakugou hasn't even held hands before, he felt like it just wasn't for him.

Bakugou knows that he shouldn't let this get in the way of making friends, that is if they become friends. He doesn't want to ruin something that could be great. Bakugou knew that Kirishima just would never feel the same about him.
