Sometimes They Yell Back || Trans Bakugou AU

Chapter 4

     I woke up to the sound of my alarm, the way I usually do. I'm glad I slept a full night, I don't even remember what time I went to sleep. The sun shined through my window, and I sat up and yawned. I stretched my arms out and felt pretty alright. Today was a new day. I had a solid two hours to do what I needed before I had to head to class. I put on a large jacket, as I wasn't ready to put on my binder yet, and walked out to the common room. There probably wouldn't be many people up yet, so that was my time to get some breakfast. I went into the kitchen and just got some cereal and bananas. I think bananas can help with testosterone production or something, and even if they don't, I know they're good for other things. I decided to have multi-grain Cheerios as the cereal of choice, which is a good choice because muli-grain is the best form of Cheerios. Honey nut tastes like slightly sweet cardboard, and the original is the same but not sweet. I pour the cereal into a bowl and pour milk in after it. I quickly finish the bowl and eat a banana to follow.

     I threw the banana peel away and brought my bowl to the sink to start washing it. Washing the bowl didn't take too long, and honestly, I preferred to wash things by hand than in a dishwasher. Washing by hand can be good light exercise for my arms and it's kind of relaxing since I'm so used to it. Once I'm done I just set it on the drying rack. Before I even turned around, I heard something behind me. I whipped my head around to see what it was and I saw Kirishima walking out from his room. Thank god it was just the idiot. He was probably just going on a morning jog or something, which I should probably do too. I usually go on jogs as well, and since I finished eating I could potentially go on a jog with him.  He looks up and notices me, he then smiles and waves while starting to walk my direction. 

    "Hey dude! Whatcha doing? I was about to go on a jog, wanna join?" 

     I walked over to the fridge and got out a water bottle, and without looking at him replied "Sure." I opened the bottle and drank some of it before looking over to him again. "I need to change into something better, then I'll be back out. Give me about ten minutes." I probably sounded fairly monotone, though that's likely expected of me by now. I feel like I'm either aggressive or monotone. It'd be weird to stop doing that now; though I think maybe things could be a bit easier if I didn't yell so often. Oh well, it's how people respect me. He nodded to me and smiled so I went back to my room to put on my binder. 

     Once I walked back into the main area, I saw him waiting by the door. We didn't say much to each other as we went outside, which I preferred really. I can deal with Kirishima, though I don't like talking much. I think he's probably given up with small talk at this point anyway.

     We jogged around for a bit, not much happened. Once we were about five minutes away from the dorm entrance, we had decided to race each other. It was pretty close honestly, but I think I won by just a bit. 

     "Awesome job man! I think you won!" He stood up straight and put his hand up to give me a high five. I decided to comply with the high five, I feel like he wouldn't have stopped bothering me if I didn't. I think I smiled. Or, at least smirked. I could feel it, I felt my self smile at least somewhat. 

     I guess, it's not that bad. He just smiled and walked into the dorm building, as if it wasn't a big deal. I guess it's not. It almost feels nice to let loose, even for just a moment. 

     I go back inside and up to my room, I probably need to shower and then head to class. Today's Wednesday, so I should be able to train after classes. Once I got into my room, I closed the door and went straight to the bathroom for a shower. I had about half an hour before I needed to head out. I hate showers, so I usually try to make them quick anyway. I finished up in about 10 minutes and got dressed again. Maybe today wouldn't be so bad. Once I got dressed, I slung my bag over my shoulder and started heading out. 

     I ended up walking by Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, and Mina. I wonder if they think I genuinely forget their names? They were talking about their favourite types of ice cream. Do I even have a favourite type of ice cream? They probably think I just dump tabasco sauce on whatever I'm given and call it a day. A fair assumption, I suppose I haven't given them anything to let them assume otherwise. 

     "I like chocolate fudge brownie!" Kirishima smiled over at Sero, "What about you man?" 

     "Chocolate chip cookie dough is my favourite, Mina?" Sero likes chocolate chip cookie dough? I mean I guess it makes sense, basic flavour. 

     "I like this one called rockin' candy! My mom used to get it for me all the time when I was a kid." She smiles, probably while thinking of when she was younger if I were to guess. The fuck is rockin' candy? 

     "I don't think I've heard of that one, what's in it?" Guess Kaminari wondered the same thing. 

     "It's this ice cream that's flavoured like cotton candy, and it has pop-rocks in it too! It's like a whole flavour explosion!" Oh. That makes sense, it sounds kinda gross though. Who the hell eats cotton candy ice cream? Just freeze cotton candy if you're gonna do that. 

    Kirishima chimed in, "Oh alright, I've never been one for pop-rocks myself, I think they're cool and all but they kinda taste bad." 

     "That shit's nasty." Guess I decided to throw myself in there. Pop-rocks are interesting, he's right about that, I just don't really think they work. They taste like shit and I choked on some when I was like seven. 

     I could feel them look at me until Mina spoke again, "What kind of ice cream do you like?" She probably looked over at Denki, since he responded. 

     "Strawberry." No wonder I don't trust him, anyone who likes strawberry ice cream doesn't deserve ice cream. 

     I almost expected them to ask me as well, I still wouldn't have had an answer if they did. Salted caramel was the closest thing I had to a favourite, but I wouldn't even really count that. I almost wanted the attention from if they were to have asked. If I were to say something like 'those flavours are shit,' then I'd probably be able to insert my opinion. I stayed quiet though. Maybe staying quiet will let me keep what I have.
