Unable To Rest: Vessel Trilogy(My Hero Academia)Bakugo X MaleOC

Leap of Faith...

"So, let me get this straight... Bakugo's Mom is currently under the effects of some unnatural super virus that gets more potent the closer you are to her location?" Eijirou wondered while he spotted me. Pushing the heavy load of weight without my supernatural strength, I breathed out. "Well, that's the jist of this perdicament" I admitted. 

In the past two days, Eijirou kinda dragged me out of my room. But being him, he went another Mile further and pestered me about the situation. Think of it like Blackmail for the greater good, that is what he did. So far, Eijirou knows about my new third Alter, the infection in Mitsuki that I had researched after calling my Grandfather on the Dark side. Yes, I bitched out on calling my brother and settled for my very level headed grandfather, nobody can blame me for that. 

Eijirou has been a literal guidance counsellor for me. 

Let's just say, if the hero business gets boring... He could thrive as a shrink...

"That is so fucked up" Eijirou exclaimed in the middle of the school gym. It was late. Everyone has been training for the class requirement that is happening in about a week and a bit where everyone is supposed to head for their second internships. "Well, you could say people are fucked" I placed the weights on the bracket to sit up. 

"When are you gonna tell Bakugo?" He asked as he grabbed his water bottle. Shaking my head, I took a sip from my bottle. "I don't know. At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if he burned my face off after everything"

Eijirou sat down next to me and placed his hand on my shoulder. "Come on, Dude... You have to tell him. It will only be worse if he hears it from somebody else. You need to take a leap of faith. Won't know unless you try" I hate that he's right.

"Alright... I'll tell him soon. But don't be surprised if he hates me" Eijirou rolled his eyes playfully. "Dude, I don't think that guy can hate you... You could probably do something unspeakable and you'd have to do is flash one of those eye variants" 

We sat in silence, "Maybe not red..." I suddenly said to lighten the mood, "Yeah... Not Murder Mode" My hand lightly backhanded his bicep, "Shut up Asshole... You have red eyes" Eijirou shrugged with a sarcastic smugness. "Yeah but red is my colour" 

"Then why haven't you flashed the ruby red towards Mina?" I teased in which he blushed, "That's unfair. You sensed my emotions, didn't you?" Shaking my head, I grabbed my bag. "I don't need my powers to read you. It's called being your best friend and having a good set of eyes. Just ask her"

Eijriou and I both left the gym. I heaved a deep breath as I caught a glimpse of my third alter was in my reflection grinned for a moment. Pretending not to see him, I walked back to the dorms. 

Upon walking inside, I saw the class all take glanced towards me. Mina was the first to speak up. "Adrian! You wanna join us in a game of Smash?" I took a quick moment to think, "Maybe later... I... I have somebody to talk too" My vague answer seemed to be translated since Mina grinned. "But Eijirou would love to play Smash with you" The distinct sound of Eijirou choking on something he was drinking was heard. 

I hope he saw what I did there because that joke was too easy to make...

.....

After my shower, I stood in front of Katsuki's room. I think I have been standing here for fifteen minutes straight without moving. I just brain farted on what to say. How do I start? What do I say? How do I approach this? I hate teenaged drama...

Well, last time I checked, not every teenager has a psychopath hellbent on destroying everything they care about that doubles as a mental roommate...

"That's not very nice" I heard him mumble from behind. Losing the hesitation, I knocked on the door. After knocking, I stood still in silence for a few seconds but then realised my stupidity on not announcing who was at his door. "Hey, Katsuki... It's me. As in me, I mean Adrian. Y'know, the asshole..." 

I'm digging myself a grave... Upon realising that, I sweatdropped.

After a moment of self-regret, the door swung open and as expected I got hit in the face with a fist. Taking the hit, I turned to look at him. "I deserve that" Another fist knocked on my face. "And that" I said without actually feeling the pain. His furious red eyes, looked downward and he threw his fist at my male parts. "Naaahh..." I grabbed his wrist, "That's just getting borderline cruel" 

Oh My God! Shut your mouth! You're only making it worse!

Katsuki pulled back with a glare, "Can we talk?" He scoffed, "Talk? You wanna fuckin' talk? I'm surprised you remembered I fuckin' exist!" Taking in a calming breath, I took the verbal punishment. "I never forgot you existed. If you just give a chance to explain myself, then you'll understand why I've been distant"

"Distant?... You've been absent" I silently cursed my third alter like entity thatw as casually leaning on the wall to my left. Katsuki crossed his arms, his walls were built up only making this harder. "Go on" He sternly demanded.

Sighing, I met his gaze with my own. "I know what's causing your Mother's condition" Katsuki's features softened for an instant, his frown became inquisitive. The silence began to piss me off so I just said it as it is. "She's sick because of me. Before you ask, I'm betting she's stable but still bed ridden. Well, that's only because I'm not near her"

"What the fuck does that even mean!?" 

"I'm a fucking Proximity Injector! The closer I am, the worse it gets for her! That asshole who attacked my father is the reason for it! He infected everyone that night but my brother, Dad and myself shielded most of you but I now know I wasn't fast enough to save Mitsuki... I'm so sorry" I began to crumble upon the last sentence as it came out like a weak whisper. 

"Katsuki, I'm killing her... Like a fucking cancer and I hate myself for not being able to stop it. All Perfect Vessel Bullshit and I'm powerless! Life and Death? I got piss poor control over it, don't I?!" Katsuki stood in silence as I rambled. My eyes didn't dare meet his. "I'm seeing him... He taunts me, fucking with my head. I feel like I'm spliting in two..."

My eyes closed as I let my words sink in, "I... I wish I could help but I'm better off not being around. Especially when I'm the detonator" I took a step back, ignoring the sinister grin of my Third Alter. "This is all my fault" I began walking away without taking the moment to look at Katsuki. "Your fault?..." My fleeting being halted. 

Katsuki sniffled, "Don't do that... Don't fucking say that" The sound of approaching footsteps were heard as he approached. "I feel like an asshole... Hating you for something when all you were doing was being a fucking hero" I felt a warmth brush along my right hand. 

"Sure... You're kind of a dick for avoiding me and a bit of an asshole for not telling me sooner but..." I felt myself get pulled back as I could feel Katsuki's walls begin to crumble. "Don't ever call yourself a cancer, ever again. You fuckin' got that?!" 

I'm so tired of feeling weak... Tired of feeling scared... I remember the moments between the Sport's Festival and Training Camp, I felt strong, untouchable... I want to go back...

"Adrian... Do you hear me?..." He turned me on my heel, holding me extremely close. "You are not a cancer... You are... You're the guy that smiles even after all the shit you've been through. The guy that taught me what being happy feels like. Adrian, you bring this class together" 

"I'm sorry..." I mumbled into his chest as he pulled me close. "Damn it... You don't to be" The distinct sound of Katsuki pulling himself together, using everything to hold back the dam was easily picked up. "Katsuki... Do me a favour..." 

He hummed in question, "Even though I can't visit Mitsuki... I couldn't bring myself to let you go alone. You're Mom needs you and even though you have your moments where you fight, you need her. So, please ask somebody in the class to come with"

Katsuki seemed to almost let his pride take hold but I spoke, "Please? I need to know you're not alone. Ask Eijirou, you can trust him. He's the reason I was able to come to you just now" I stood up straight, becoming taller once more. I snaked my arms around his form and he did the same. "Fine... On one condition" 

"Anything..."

"You tell me what's wrong. No sparing me from all the shit. Becuase I'm not letting you jump into hell alone" I nodded into his shoulder. 

"Okay... I'll tell you"
