Bakugo's PoV

I just watched while everyone in class scrambled to their seats after hearing the bell ring. But, even when everyone in the class sat down one seat was still empty, Deku's. The teachers decided to give him a day off in order to adjust back to a normal schedule. I was told by Aizawa that he claimed he didn't need it after 'already missing a day', but he was forced to anyway.

Thinking about this I turn to the window, looking in the direction of the dorms. I never really got to talk to him did I?

I walked downstairs stairs to see everyone gathered in a big circle, chatting up a storm. Through the crowd of people I could see someone in the center, Deku, he looked kinda frantic as everyone bombard him with questions. But all I could see where the bandages the covered his skin.

" So Deku! Where did you go anyway? You had all of us worried for a bit!" Floaty questioned the already nervous looking greenete.

" O-Oh! Um... I went on a trip to America with my mom to visit some distant family...?" his answer sounded more like a question, as he frantically thought up a lie.

" OI!" I shouted making the whole circle turn I'm my direction. My eyes instinctively meeting with Deku's before I peeled them off to glare at the group. " First of all, its just shitty Deku! I don't get what the Commotion is about! Second, it's too early for all this crap! So will ya quiet down!" I spun around and started walking towards the door.

" Huh? Bakugo, I thought you where more of a morning person?" I heard round cheeks question me.

" Well it still doesn't mean I want to hear all that crap this early!" I growled back at her as I made my way out the dorms.

Urg,damnit! I still haven't been able to talk to him since yesterday! He must think I'm a wimp or something-

" Bakugo!" My head spun up to see Mr. Aizawa staring at me. " Are you gonna keep ignoring the lesson or are you gonna listen and answer the question I asked you?"

With that I made my mind focus on something other then Deku. The day was going by quick until lunch came. I walked in with my group of weirdos only for my named to be called out by someone.

" Kirishima, Kacchan!" I turn my head to find Deku running towards us still wearing his bandages. He's right infront of our faces before I can even process what's happening. " Uh-Um-! I was wondering if I can talk to you guys for a little bit?" As he asks he seems less then confident, I can also see a little blush flush his cheeks.

Embarrassed I turn my head and gruff out " Sure nerd, but don't think you can just waste all my lunch time." I hear Kirishima respond with an nervous sure, and then we're off following Deku outside to talk.

We head over to a bench (A/N A picnic table outside lunch table type thing) where we all sit in silence for a minute. I keep glancing from Deku to Kirishima, wondering who would speak up first, knowing it wouldn't be me.

Out of nowhere Shittyhair launches to his feet, then turns to Deku and bows. I see Deku's eyes widen and he looks like he's abot to speak, but before he could Kirishima spoke up. " I'm so so so so SO sorry! I can't believe we- I left you there! It wasn't manly, or even something that a superhero would do! I know I messed up, and you don't have to forgive me, or even continue to be my friend! You could even punch me if you feel like it, but I just want you to know how sorry I am! I'm really sorry Midoriya!"

Silence yet again envelopes us, I watch as Deku slowly stands up, he then walks over to where Kirishima was bowing. I see Kirishima glance up as he slowly rises, he seemed ready to get slapped in the face as Deku lifted his hand. But instead wraps both his arms around the red head. Kirishima seems shocked before he accepts the hug, and returns it with one of his own.

All I do is sit there and watch as I see tears leave Kirishimas face. They separate and I soon come to realize that they're both crying. Wait-! What the fuck am I spoused to do?! Why are they crying??? ( A/N this is what I actually think when people start crying around me! I literally just straight up panic;;) I stare at them knowing I'm unable to do anything, but soon Deku speaks up, wiping his tears in the process.

" I'll admit that the situation was pretty terrifying," he admits rubbing the back of his head. " But, is do it 1000 more times if it meant I could save you guys." As he speaks his head turns towards me, and my eyes go a little wide. So I quickly turn my head away in order not to see his face.

It seems to go quiet for a minute, before I hear someone sit down next to me. Thinking it was Shittyhair I turn my head to face him, but I am instead met with a green bush of hair, and emerald green eyes that seem to look into my soul. I'm shocked as I look around for Kirishima but he seems to have vanished.

" Sorry I asked him to leave, I kinda wanted to talk with you alone..." I look back at Deku to see him turned away from me, as he fights with his fingers. " Uh- I... um..." he fumbles with his words, trying hard to get the right words to say, so instead I speak up.

" You shouldn't be sorry," I say surprising him and making his head turn back to face me, in embarrassment I turn away. " I'm not mad at you for not telling me, I'm mad at myself. I wasn't able to help you and... I'm sorry. Not only for that, but for so many things, that I never really said sorry to. I know you must hate me, and you have the right but I just want you to know I...." I choke on my words and as I turn my head slightly making sure I meet his eyes.

Damnit now snot the right time to confess your feelings Katsuki! With that I let out a sigh and turn my head to look back at him." I'm truly sorry." I watch as a a sad smile stretches across his face.

" it's alright Kacchan-!" His voice and smile say he's happy, but his eyes tell me other wise. Why does he look so disappointed?

But after that he headed back to the dorms. I watched him leave till he turned a corner and was out of m6 sight. I sighed slamming my head on the bench table. Damnit, you coward! You finally got him back and you still can't say shit! I felt a tap on my shoulder, and I turned my head.

Shitty hair looked back at me with a slightly worried face. " So how'd it go?" He questioned me.

" Shitty," I grunted. " I still couldn't say shit, like a coward."

" well at least he's back now! So now you've got all the time in the world!" He spoke sending me a big grin.

I sent a little one back knowing he was right. " yeah yeah whatever. Let's get back before lunch ends."

I have to talk to him more. I have to tell him. I have to tell him tonight.

And with that we where on our way back to lunch, and to finish the rest of the school day.

OKAY YES DID IT!! Okay sorry for being late but I actually have a good reason this time! So I haven't seen my dad in like 4 years right? So the last two weeks I was visiting him! I was really fun! But I don't regret taking a break from writing to just hang out with him. So sorry but kinda not really sorry lol.

Also I think next chapter might be the last, but I also want to have like two extra chapters one showing the after math, and the other a different story line of how'd it be like if Bakugo turned into the cat!
