Chapter 4: Feelings unleased
That night, Bakugo couldn't sleep. He had stayed up late doing homework, but Recovery Girl's advice kept his head spinning every time he tried to relax. Each time he did manage to slip into unconsciousness, the dreams would wake him up again. Dreams of telling Izuku how he felt, and the look of disgust on his face, the rejection, and the pain. Though they were not all like that. The hardest ones were where Izuku accepted his feelings, pulled him into his arms and they melded together. Those dreams made his heart jump and ache.
Finally, he sat up in bed, a light layer of sweat coating his skin. He looked at the clock.
'Three fourty-five' he thought, he looked outside his window. A light drizzle was coming down on the campus.
'A perfect time for a run' he thought. He changed into some workout clothes and grabbed his headphones and shoes.
He was not sure how long he had been running. He ran the inner circumference of the campus, and when he was back at the dorms; he ran the outer circumference. The rain was helping his head to clear. By the time he got to the dorms the second time, the sun had broken over the horizon. He entered the dorms and went over to the elevator, punching the button for the fourth floor. His plan was to get his uniform and then to head down and take a shower before class. He leaned against the back of the elevator and closed his eyes as it lifted. When it stopped, he stepped out as Tokoyami entered the elevator. That is when he realized he had made a mistake.
He looked around the floor, he had accidently gotten out on the second floor; instead of the fourth floor. He slowly turned and pressed the button to call the elevator once more. He looked down the hallway absentmindedly.
'People should be starting to get up about now' he thought. That's when he saw her.
Uraraka's head poked out of one of the dorms. She looked left and right before slowly slipping out, carefully closing the door behind her. She walked down the hall and nearly ran into Bakugo.
"B-B-Bakugo?! What are y-you doing here?" she stammered, raising her hands slightly as her cheeks went red.
"Shouldn't that be what I'm asking you?" he said, "This isn't your floor."
She looked around dumbfounded, her cheeks blazing red. "You are absolutely right! Silly me" she said, the elevator dinged and she rushed inside, "See you in class!" she called as the doors closed. He rolled his eyes and pressed the button to call the elevator again. He stepped back to see which room she had come out of. The teachers allowed the students to hang white boards next to their rooms and write their names on.
'Now the board associated with the room is hung on the left…' he thought as he scanned the names. That is when he saw it, the board next to the room she had come out of was labeled.. Izuku.
His heart stopped. Sure they were friends, but there would be no reason for a girl to be in a guy's room this early, especially to be sneaking out of a guy's room.
'Unless…' he thought, but his mind didn't let it go farther than that. Suddenly, a fire burst inside him. The elevator was far to slow now.
He bolted down the stairs and out over by the gymnasium. One thing he negotiated in his therapy agreement was that he was granted an area to use his quirk on school grounds. The principal agreed that the open air next to the gym would be appropriate. The staff moved old safety dummies and torn training bags to that area. So if he wanted to use them, he wouldn't get in trouble for damaging school property.
Once he made it to the area, he grabbed one of the large torn bags. He threw it in the air like a baseball and sent a massive explosion its way. He grabbed one of the safety dummies from box and threw it straight in the air, blasting to meet it and punch it down into the ground. By the time he was finished, the area looked like a war zone, and his muscles twitched from over exertion. But the pain was in his muscles were nothing compared to the pain in his chest.
Back at the dorms, Izuku sat up in bed and began to stretch. His normal alarm having gone off moments ago. He and Uraraka had studied till nine and then she said she had laundry to do. So he stayed up till ten thirty to finish his homework and was a little late getting to bed. He had heard the dorm door next to his close, so Aoyama must have already left to take a shower. Off in the distance, he could here the explosions.
'Is that Kachann?' He thought, 'Man he is up early, I hope everything is okay' he got up and gathered his stuff to go and take a shower.
Oh the pain, the agony! Hope you enjoyed it!
