Bombs Go with Wings

Shoto and Kai

Kai's POV

I put my hand over my mouth as Bakugo marched into my bathroom and closed the door. A wave of embarrassment and panic washed over me.

Kiri looked at me, "Is this a thing now? Or what?"

I shrugged, "Not sure."

"I think its a bad idea"

"Kaminari!" Kiri scolded

"What's gonna happen to our bro time? Our friend group! Plus, Bakugo is a dick" He plopped on my bed then hurriedly got up "wait, this is sacred ground" he made a gagging noise

"Grow up spark plug"

"Jesus, she sounds just like him now" Kaminari sounded horrified

Kirishima hugged me, "I think it's fine. He seems a bit calmer and a lot less 'die die' around you. I can appreciate that someone else sees Bakugo as more than an angry ball of fire. He's strong and a great friend. A lot of the class just thinks of him as a dick."

"I don't think I want to tell anyone though. I don't want people to pick on him."

"I wasn't planning on saying anything" Kirishina nudged Kaminari

"Same"

"Oi," Bakugo came out of my bathroom still in his boxers

"Can you please get some clothes on?" Kaminari covered his eyes

"I got you," Kirishima pulled some clothes out of his backpack and threw them at Bakugo

"You were in my room?"

"Yeah and I got your shit so don't yell at me."

Bakugo grumbled in protest as he got dressed.

"What happened with Todoroki?" Kaminari asked

Kirishima sent him a dirty look

"Nothing. Lets go." Bakugo walked out of my dorm

"Something happened with Shoto?" I looked at Kirishima

"I guess they got into it when he was trying to come see you?" Kiri shrugged, "It was right by my door so I could only hear bits and pieces."

"Oh" I wonder why he didn't say anything

"Hey you got the flowers! Hope you liked them." Kaminari put his hands in his pockets, "I picked them out for Bakugo to give to you. They were in better shape when I got them I swear." He pointed to the flowers falling apart on my shelf.

I laughed, "I love them, thank you."

I didn't like attention like this. I followed Bakugo out of my dorm and the boys followed suit. We couldn't go far from the dorms because of house arrest so we ended up running along the perimeter of the building. We ran for what felt like hours, I was feeling sore and my wing stung.

"Hey, I'm tapping out. I'm still healing from the fight." I smiled weakly, "I'll meet up with you guys later?"

Bakugo started like he was gonna follow me, but I nodded, "I'll be fine. I have other things I need to do anyway. I'll see you later."

I think he was hurt by my reaction but I just really wanted time to myself. I had a lot on my mind, and I didn't really want to talk to anyone about it.

The rest of the dorm was just waking up. I smiled to all that said hello and got into the elevator. On the way up it stopped and stepped in Shoto.

"Oh hey, you're up early." he smiled, "I was just on my way to check in on you."

"Oh, I'm okay. Thank you."

"Heading back? Mind if I walk you to your room?" He put his hands in his pockets

"If you have time, I don't want to hold you up."

"No, it's okay, I was heading over there anyways."

The elevator stopped on my floor and we stepped out together. I watched Shoto as we walked to my dorm. He sent glares towards Bakugo's room.

I was at my dorm, "Well here I am."

Shoto smiled, "I'm assuming you're acting weird because of Bakugo."

"Huh?" My blood rushed to my face, How'd he know?

"I was heading to your room just as he was about to knock, we had an argument in the hallway."

"Honestly, Shoto I didn't really hear any of it."

Shoto sighed, "Ok, well let me be honest then. I can't explain it but I feel close to you. It's weird because we barely know each other. I see you as a close friend. Feeling this I was horrified and angry that Bakugo would hurt you. With such brute force and harsh words," He trembled, " I came from a rough home. My father bullied my mother and it drove her mad, it caused her to hurt me and since then she's been in the hospital. I wasn't able to help her when I was young. I'm making my peace with her now. I don't want to watch that happen to anyone else."

I hugged Shoto, "Shoto, I appreciate you so much. You're such a good guy, I'm not used to having people care so much about me, so I'm sorry for not seeing this sooner."

Shoto smiled.

"I want to promise you that I don't believe Bakugo is like that. Actually, we had a conversation about it and I could tell he was being genuine."

Shoto eyed me seriously,

"Shoto, I can manipulate energy. I felt the energy when he was talking to me. I know he wasn't faking, I'm confident he'll never put me in that position ever again. I appreciate your concern."

Shoto seemed satisfied with my answer, "Kai I trust you. I've seen you in action. If you wanted to, you could've ended all of us. You're powerful in that way." He nodded his head. "If there is ever a time that that power is too difficult or if there's ever anything bothering you, you know where I am."

"I will. Thank you." I gave him another hug, "I'd invite you in, but my room is trashed."

Shoto laughed, "Not that I'd mind, but class starts in 10 minutes. I'll see you after though?"

I smiled, "You know where I'll be."

He waved and I watched him walk away. I went into my dorm and sighed at the mess. My clothes and Bakugo's clothes are all over the place. I picked up mine and threw them in the hamper. I picked up Bakugo's and sighed. He's been in my life for less than a month and I'm already doing his laundry?

The laundry room was in the basement so I had to gather my things and head out of my dorm. Just as I exited, the elevator dinged and out stepped Bakugo.

I couldn't even get 5 minutes to myself huh?

To my surprise he didn't even acknowledge me. He walked to his dorm and closed the door. I let out an exasperated sigh. 

Why was I sorta pissed? He didn't acknowledge me? That's what you wanted isn't it? BUT he definitely saw me, and he didn't acknowledge me. That's NOT what I wanted.
