Sometimes They Yell Back || Trans Bakugou AU

Chapter 7

     He held his phone up to my eye level, and I could see his hand shaking as he did so. I took the phone out of his hand so it would be easier for me to read; it was a document. There were a few links and pictures, along with blocks of text. I felt my face drop from annoyance to shock as I read what it said. Phrases like, "She's been lying to you," and "She's not actually a guy," stuck out to me as I read. I clicked on one of the links, and it led me to an article about the sludge villain. An article in which they didn't specify who I was, but they didn't use gender neutral pronouns like all the articles did. How did someone get this? How did this even exist? I was wearing a binder, and I had been on T even then. Whoever wrote it must have known me or my family personally, or they were just stupid. That's not proof of me not being cis though, I mean certainly I could just say that whoever wrote the article was just dumb. I went back to look at the document and looked at some of the pictures that were there. One of them had a picture of my hero suit and some scribbles on it, when I looked closer, those scribbles were pointing out how I could easily bind with the costume I have. Some of the text under the image was also addressing how I always wore more baggy clothing, which could be used to conceal my figure or allow me to wear a sports bra some days if I needed to. Why were they going through this much trouble to prove that I'm trans? I know I'm a dick, but no one has gone through that kind of trouble to tear me down before. I scrolled further in the document and saw the picture of me in the gym. Then it clicked.

     Monoma. Monoma went and combed through everything he could to get proof or at least sufficient evidence of me not being cis. He has so much. There's parts talking about how I could have a binder, how I'm cautious and distant from others, even why I go to sleep early. He has everything. How did he get this? Who did he ask to get this info? How did he find all of this? No, the answer to those questions were not my main concern. What is he going to do with all of this?

     I realised I had been frozen in place since I started reading. I pulled myself back into a neutral expression, and handed Deku's phone back to him.

     "Were you the only one who got this?" My face was stern as I asked him, he still had the same look as when he first knocked; he hadn't relaxed at all.

     "I-I'm not sure. I don't know if they have the numbers of everyone in the class, b-but they could have also sent them to our school emails if they don't." Just after he finished with his answer, I heard my phone buzz from back on my nightstand. I haltingly made my way to my phone, and looked to see what the notification was from. Kirishima had texted me, and that worried me immediately. He usually isn't up at this time. I opened the message and read over what he said.

     'Hey man idk if u have seen this but if you havent you probably should.' Attached was a link to the same document I had just looked at a moment before. I slammed my phone back down on the table, and punched the mattress of my bed out of frustration.

     "K-Kacchan? Is there anything I can do to help?"

     I could feel my eyes become watery, and the rage I had been able to lower so far had festered once again. I didn't even turn around to yell at him.

     "GO THE FUCK BACK TO YOUR ROOM DEKU!" After that I heard my door close behind him as he timidly walked away.

     I slumped down beside my bed, and pulled my knees up to my chest. I had lost, hadn't I. I lost the first fight with him, and he was able to keep the picture. I lost my privacy and sense of personal space. I lost the one thing I was able to maintain. I lost just about everything I had. Even if they didn't believe this completely, there was enough there to at least make an argument, and that would stick with people. No one would talk to me now that they've seen this.
