You Don't Have To Face It Alone [Abused!BakugoxTodoroki]

Twenty Four- Slight Revenge

    3rd POV

Todoroki watched as Kirishima stopped climbing down the stairs once he was in view of Kirishima, and Todoroki was staring Kirishima down while wrapping his arm back to hold a trembling Bakugo. Kirishima huffed and glared at Todoroki, then turned and stomped back up the stairs. Todoroki stayed still and didn't move until he heard the door open and close, then he turned around and looked down to Bakugo.

"He's gone, lets go back to my dorm yeah?" Todoroki asked Bakugo, who looked off in the distance then hesitantly nodded. Todoroki held his hand and slowly walked him back to his own dorm, going at Bakugo's pace and waiting for him whenever needed to stop from the pain.

They got to Todoroki's dorm and Todoroki sat Bakugo down at the top of his bed, then went to the other side of the bed and sat down with about five feet between them, to keep Bakugo from feeling uncomfortable.

"So... how're you doing?" Todoroki asked, but Bakugo just kept quiet and looked away. "Hey, it'll be alright. Whatever you're reason for going up there was, I'm not going to hold it against you, alright?"

Bakugo nodded and slowly looked over to Todoroki, his eyes glossy with tears that he violently rubbed away with the fabric of his shirt. Todoroki wanted patiently for Bakugo to be done, and when he was Bakugo moved before anything could be said.

Bakugo shifted himself so he was closer to Todoroki, turning himself so he was facing him. Todoroki turned as well and now they were staring at each other, not saying a word.

"I'm sorry" Bakugo whimpered out as his body shook and his shoulders fell. Bakugo brought his hands up to his eyes, wiping harshly and hitting his head with the bottom of his palm. Todoroki didn't want to scare him, so instead of grabbing his wrists he grabbed a pillow and held it up to Bakugo. Bakugo looked up at the pillow then Todoroki.

"Just for now. Punch it" Todoroki offered, to which Bakugo hesitated. He looked at the pillow questioningly the back to Todoroki, who nodded.

Bakugo carefully took the pillow from Todoroki, placing it in his lap. He gave it a few slaps, his eyes welling up and shining after each slap. Bakugo balled his hands into fists, giving the pillow a test punch. He felt a wave of relief splash of him for a very brief second, and his eyes lit up at the feeling. His face scrunched up and he started wailing on the pillow, grunts and small sobs escaping Bakugo's mouth with every forceful punch.

Todoroki watched as the blonde got out some of his welled up feelings. Bakugo landed a forceful punch to the pillow, then gripped the sides tightly and shoving the pillow into his face. He screamed into the pillow and even though it was muffled it could battle against Present Mic's quirk. Bakugo let his face fall to the bed while it was in the pillow, his shoulders trembling as sobs were starting to be heard.

"Bakugo?" Todoroki questioned. He had hoped that the pillow would help calm his nerves and get things out of his system, but he had never expected it to be this much. "Are you feeling better?"

"No! I'm not 'feeling better'! You don't know anything!" Bakugo yelled, lifting his face from the pillow to yell and harshly throw the pillow at the wall. Bakugo let himself fall back on the bed, turning to his side and curling up to his chest.

"Well whatever he did will never happen again. He's going to be expelled" Todoroki explained, though Bakugo already knew that.

"I know! He, he already told me" Bakugo was struggling to keep his voice steady, but was close to giving up on that.

Todoroki slowly inched himself closer to Bakugo, resting a hand on Bakugo's foot. Bakugo tensed for a second and just as Todoroki was starting to pull away he was told to stay. So Todoroki let his hand lay on the blonde's foot, wanting to comfort him but not make him uncomfortable.
