The first week of college didn't go as Bakugou had planned out in his head.

He found out that Deku, his childhood friend (victim), had also got accepted to UA. Though he left him alone due to the incident in middle school.

He absolutely hated his classes, because almost every one of them had at least one of the idiots in there, all of them being in his last class which was creative and business psychology.

And because everyone either hated him or was scared of him or both, Bakugou was already labeled as the bully and the delinquent even though he barely even talked to anyone since the first day. He was isolated from the start.

He was in the middle of getting ready when his phone rang. He picked it up to hear his dad on the other line.

"Hey Katsuki, how's college life treating you?" Bakugou put it on speaker so he could tie his shoes.

"Pretty shitty. There was an thing that happened a few days ago and now I'm called trouble," he said, snatching his keys of of his dresser.

"Oh Katsuki—....I hear keys. Are you going somewhere?" Masaru asked curiously, making him roll his eyes as he turned his wrist and wiggled the sharp item in the keyhole to get his door locked.

"Yeah, it's Friday remember?" He slumped away to the stairs, the reason being the elevator usually takes forever even though it just opened up to reveal the 4 familiar teenagers that he despised. Bakugou, however, didn't notice and checked his pockets. "I'm goin' to anger management. Even though it hasn't really done much to help me. Countin' to 10 and deep breaths aren't enough to calm my ass down and it shows. Damn it! Fuck you wallet!" He reaches into one of his jacket pockets and pulled out the item he thought he forgot.

"Katsuki, you need it." His dad chuckled a bit.

"Well duh, how else am I gonna pay for it? Though, the piece a shit don't do anything except talk about the same ways to calm down. I either need to learn how to control my anger, or people need to learn how to stop pissin' me off." After counting the cash in his wallet, he stowed it away and pushed open the stair door.

"I understand, but think of it as meditation."

"I don't need meditation, I need medication." He stepped out into the street and opened his car. "I have to go, Imma bout to drive."

"B-Be careful Katsuki. I love you," Masaru stuttered.

"Will do, bye." The blond hung up and started his car, driving out to his therapist.

Kirishima POV

"Guys, he drove off," Kaminari said looking out the window of the redheads dorm room. They had accidentally eavesdropped on Bakugou's phone call and were now discussing if they should befriend him or not.

"I think it's worth a shot," Kirishima said, Sero nodding in agreement.

"Do you guys have brain damage?! He assaulted me!" Mina argued, "He'll only bully us and make us feel like trash!"

"And plus he's kinda scary..." Kaminari added, rubbing the back of his neck as he slid down from the window.

"It was partly our fault. We were being rude to him so he got defensive. It doesn't excuse his actions towards Mina, but we now know he's trying to control himself," Sero retorted.

"Yeah, lets give him another chance. I bet once he warms up to us, he'll be an awesome guy," Kirishima added, trying to convince himself the same thing. To be honest, he just didn't want to be on bad terms with the blond. He disliked being hated before he even had a chance to prove himself.

     "Exactly, we don't really know him enough to make assumptions. And too be honest, I don't see him walking around campus pushing anybody around." Sero crossed his arms. "Trust me."

     Kirishima was slightly surprised at how pushy Sero was being. He was usually laid back and quite lazy.

     "I mean, I guess you're right...." Kaminari unsurely said. Though Mina was still dead set on avoiding him.

     "I'll only befriend him once he shows he'll be a good friend. Until that happens, count me out," she stated, crossing her arms. Kirishima understood her judgment, as she usually judged based on first impressions. However, that usually got her into trouble.

     "Okay, we'll start tomorrow," Sero smiled, getting up and stretching his back. "My class starts in a hour so I gotta get ready for that."

"Have fun!" the three of them waved him bye and they sat in silence, thinking on many things they usually wouldn't think about.

Katsuki POV

     "See you next month, Mr. Bakugou," said the woman with glasses at the reception desk. Katsuki didn't pay any mind to her, instead paying attention to the drawing on a sticky note and the inside of his forearm. He hadn't listened to a thing his therapist said, instead doodling on his skin and pad with a ballpoint pen. It turned out nice: nice as in tattoo artist nice. It was a skull with a a lily crown. There was also some calavera like designs on it. And on the note pad was a Sakura tree that had very little flowers hanging off it's branches.

     He smirked to himself, shoving a hand in his pocket to fetch his keys.

     "Mr. Artist!" Bakugou turned around to see a young black haired girl run up to him with a smile. Katsuki recognized her from a few weeks ago. There was also a woman behind her, most likely her mother or an older sister with the striking resemblance between them.

     "Do you need something kid?" Bakugou asked, holding his tongue. He wasn't in one of his moods thankfully so it was a bit easier.

     "Ayana, don't bother the man," the woman said and Bakugou instantly confirmed her was the child's mother. The kid looked sad as she gazed up at her mother, her small brows furrowed as her lips wore a deep frown and a trembling lip. He sighed before squatting down.

     "Ayana, right?" Bakugou said, turning her attention to him. He took out his pen and wrote something on the back of the sticky note before holding it out for her. "Call me someday in the far, far future so I can draw you and your ma, kay?"

     The girl lit up, taking the tiny piece of paper with a bright smile before jumping onto him with a childish giggle.

     "Thank you mister!"

     "Ayana, I don't think I can afford..." the mother said warily, obviously not wanting to disappoint her daughter. Katsuki internally rolled his eyes.

     "It'd be free. I don't have the legality to make you pay for it cause I'm not a professional. It's up to you," Katsuki stated as he gently pushed the girl off his leg. "I gotta run."

     "Thank you...um..." the mom trailed off as she was silently asking for his name.

     "Bakugou Katsuki."

     "Thank you Bakugou." She bowed slightly as she took the child's hand. "Have a wonderful day."

     "Will do." They walked off and he got in his car and sat there for a minute before banging his head on his steering wheel.

     "Why the fuck did I do that?! I HATE children!!"
