Not a Quirk, It's Science

Chapter 4

WARNING: Manga spoilers, only a single sentence really, but a pretty big plot point so...

"Fuck this" Bakugo's eyebrow twitched, because that was apperantly the best way to start a chapter, while Senku simply raised a brow at him.

A futon was spread on the blonde's floor.

"They wouldn't let me continue sleeping on the couch" he shrugged.

Bakugo grumbled but flopped on his bed either way.

"You better not be muttering a bout your pneumoultramicroshit or whatever"

"Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, you mean?"

"Why the fuck would something need that long of a name!?"

A few weeks have passed ever since the two green heads have moved into the Bakugo household, and for the most part, things have been going fine.

Inko and Mitsuki have been getting the papers sorted out, and Bakugo has stopped hating Senku's guts. In fact, the blonde had managed to develop some respect for the scientist, not that he would ever admit that. Occasionally, he would accompany Senku to the beach, granted, he would be very tsundere about it, but hey it was something. The said scientist, meanwhile, had fun tinkering with all sorts of things there.

He would also visit the library, because he was one big science nerd. He even had a library of his own, well, a library of notes about quirks written in notebooks Inko had bought for him. Mostly the heroes quirks, because civilians couldn't really use their quirks, and getting clear footage of villains quirks was hard, so the heroes were the easiest option. He wished he could ask them themselves though, there was only so much he could speculate about, after all.

Yeah, Bakugo wasn't ecstatic about that.

Today, Senku was digging around the trash by himself. That is, until someone suddenly appeared behind him.

"My, what a dirt boy~"

He whipped his head behind him, staggering a bit at the sudden action. There, he was faced with a female with what one would call an hourglass shaped body. She had on an extravagant outfit and was leaning her weight to her left side, an arm on her waist.

She smiled at him, seductive, a normal teen would call it. Kinda creepy, is Senku's assessment.

He recognized her, "Midnight" his brow was raised in surprise.

"Oh? You know me little boy?~" she leaned down, giving him full view of her cleavage, it was kinda annoying, obstructing his vision and all.

"Yeah" he nodded, standing up straight. A thought came to him, ang it made a smirk creep up his features.

"My my, what a smirk you got there! Thinking dirty thoughts?~"

But Senku ignored her in favor of pulling out a mini notebook he decided to keep on him at all times "Say, hero, mind if I ask a few questions?" His grin was larger now.

Midnight was intrigued, the boy hasn't even blushed once since she came, she decided to indulge him for now "Ask away"

"Great! Now first, your quirk is known as Somnambulist, and it lets you release a perfume from your body that puts your targets to sleep, correct? Now I've seen articles and theories, but since I haven't experienced them first hand I'd like to ask you what–"

And as the green haired male continued to talk, giving detailed accounts of her quirk, she felt as if this was going to be one long day.
