My Hero Acadamia Short Stories (Volume 1)

Blindness is Key: Part 8 (Bakugo)

"Wake up, already." I heard Bakugo say and I was being shaken awake. 

"Where are we?" I asked and sat up. I had fallen asleep on Bakugo's arm.

"We're at the training grounds." Mr. Aizawa said, and I stood up and waited until I got lead off the bus. Bakugo handed me my bag and I wanted to fall over. I stretched and popped a couple of spots in my back.

"Are you okay?" Denki asked me, and I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm just sore." I said and placed my hand on Bakugo's shoulder. I let him lead me towards a building, while we walked I reached over Bakugo's shoulder and grabbed my glasses that were hanging on his shirt.

"You know it's dark out right?" Someone asked, and the tension that built up around me was crazy.

"You know I'm blind right?" I asked, not turning my head towards the guy that said it.

"Monoma, fuck off." Sero said. 

"What can't introduce myself to the new student? Especially after today's events?" Monoma asked and jumped in front of me and Bakugo with his hand out. "You were rather impressive on the bridge." I went to shake his hand, but Bakugo grabbed my hand to stop me.

"Don't touch him." He told me and pulled me around him.

"Why not?" I asked and got dragged away. 

"He has a copy quirk." Kirishima answered. 

"And he's an asshole." Denki added.

"Noted." I said. 

"Oh come on guys don't be like that." Monoma said and chased after us. He then suddenly grabbed my hand and pulled me away from Bakugo and the others. His arms wrapped around me, and I tried pushing on him. "I just want to be friends. Friends among enemies aren't always a bad thing." 

"Let me go." I warned him.

"Oh, come on don't be like that." He told me and got really close to my face.

"Let my student go." Mr. Aizawa told him, and his hair was floating. Which I guess meant he was using his quirk on Monoma.

"Oh come on, no one's getting hurt here." He said and I stomped my foot in the ground, hard, and a small pillar shot up and hit him between the legs. Everyone around me tensed up, as he fell to the ground.

"Don't touch me again." I told him and stepped away from him.

"Nice shot." Denki said behind me.

"I'm sorry about him." A girl said as she walked up to us and picked him up by the back of his shirt. "My name's Itsuka Kendo." She held her hand out to me, and I turned my head around a little.

"Can I shake her hand?" I whispered to the boys behind me.

"Yes she's fine." Kirishima told me. I turned back to her and shook her hand.

"It's nice to meet you Kendo." I told her.

"Although I've got to say, if this idiot is right anywhere in his brain it's that you were amazing today." She told me, and everyone started heading towards the buildings again.

"Thanks, I try." I said and shrugged.

"Alright lets go." Bakugo said and dragged me away from her. I waved to Kendo and we went separate ways. It looked like each class was staying in different buildings.

"We're going to be staying in rooms of two." Mr. Aizawa said, once everyone was inside.

"Hey y/n, you want to stay with me?" Someone asked from behind me and touched my leg, it was Mineta. "We could have some fun."

"Please don't touch me." I said and stepped away from him. 

"What did I tell you yesterday?" Bakugo said and stepped in front of me.

"That's enough!" Mr. Aizawa said. "Mineta you're going to be staying in a room by yourself." Mineta started crying, and Mina tapped my shoulder.

"Y/n, do you want to stay with me?" She asked me, and held my hand.

"Sure." I said and she pulled me up the stairs, and I ended up tripping halfway up them. "Easy Mina, I can't see wood stairs." I said and rubbed on my knee, and felt something wet.

"Good job Mina." Sero said and they helped me up. I limped up the rest of the stairs and got led to the bathroom. I sat up on the counter and Mina started panicking.

"I'm sorry!" She said over and over.

"Mina, I'm okay. Calm down." I told her, and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Jeez raccoon eyes, you're a mess." Bakugo said and pushed her out of the bathroom. He shut the door, and dug through a cabinet. I felt some liquid get poured on my knee, and I grabbed his jacket at the feeling of it burning.

"Ow, easy damn." I said. I took a couple of deep breaths, and the stinging faded. "Bakugo?"

"What?" He asked me, he sounded agitated.

"Think I'm a burden yet?" I asked him. I felt him freeze and I knew he was looking at me.

"You're not a burden." He told me.

"Mhm." I hummed, and winced when he pushed on my knee with a cloth to wipe it off.

"Don't say that again." He told me.

"Why do you care what I say about myself?" I asked him. 

"Because you sound like an idiot." Bakugo told me, and placed a bandage on my knee.

"So you're allowed to insult me, but I'm not?" I asked. "That's messed up."

"No what's messed up, is that you keep calling yourself a burden." He told me and washed the blood off my hand.

"But I am." I said. "My Dad's an honest drunk."

"Yeah, and he's still a drunk." He said and dried my hand. "Don't say it again."

"What are you going to do if I do?" I asked him, and laughed. He placed his hands on either sides of my hips on the counter, and he was right in my face. "Yell at me?"

"Yeah." He said, and him saying that hurt me. I dropped my smile, and gripped into the counter.

"Please don't." I begged. My chest hurt, and I felt like collapsing on myself. I've been yelled at a lot in my life, and I didn't want it to continue anymore. He sighed, and I felt his breath roll of my face before he helped me off the counter. 

"I won't, if you stop." He told me.

"Stop calling myself a burden, or making jokes all together?" I asked him.

"The first one." He told me.

"Good cause these jokes aren't going anywhere." I said and walked out of the bathroom and Mina lead me to our room, still apologizing for making me trip.
