Chapter 11: Explanations
As you stood there in front of Todoroki, you did not know who's house you should or wanted to stay at. One thing for sure was that Bakugo's form was quickly disappearing into the distance.
You couldn't choose based on feelings alone so instead you did what seemed like the best option at this point.
You quickly wrap your arms around Todoroki and give him a tight squeeze. Even he wasn't expecting it because it took a second for him to hug you back.
"Sorry, Shoto. Everything's been arranged so that I stay with Bakugo for now...but I promise to make it up to you!"
Why did saying something like that to Todoroki hurt so much?
You felt Todoroki immediately release you. "I still don't think it's a smart idea but if that's what you want y/n...I respect you too much to force you to change your decision." He reached out and moved a strand of your h/c hair that had fallen out of place. He had on a smile which conflicted with the way he felt.
"I don't deserve you." You mumbled as you turned your head away and ran off to try and catch up with Bakugo.
Todoroki watched sadly as you left his sight. He wondered why he was always the one to be abandoned.

It didn't take to long for you to catch up with Bakugo. He seemed to have been walking at a very slow pace.
He sighed internally in relief. He thought you had decided to stay with the half and half bastard.
"We're about half way to Aizawa-sensei's house." You pull up right next to Bakugo.
"Good. It's starting to get fucking dark." Bakugo replied.
The rest of the walk was a little uncomfortable because you were still trying to sort your feelings out in your head.
Did I make the right choice? You turn your head to look at the boy next to you. Your stomach was doing flips.
He felt your gaze on him. "WHAT, FURBALL?!"
You blushed and turned away. You didn't answer him and just kept walking towards Aizawa's house. This just earned a loud annoyed groan from Bakugo.
Soon enough, you reached Aizawa's place.
"Did you want to come in while I pack stuff...?"
Bakugo merely squeezed past you and went inside. "Yeah. Since you'll probably need help packing, cat girl!"
You led him up the stairs and into your room. You began packing the essentials and you noticed that Bakugo was oddly quiet at first as he surveyed your room.
"So what's your deal...that you have to live with our teacher?" Bakugo had opened a drawer and threw a few pairs of socks at you for you to bring.
You caught them with ease and began packing something else. "Long story short...my father left my mother and I while I was little...and my mom left me right before I started at U.A."
Bakugo was quiet for a second before he piped up again. "They're divorced then?"
"Not exactly. My mom left to go look for my dad. But I think it's stupid...trying to look for someone who obviously doesn't want to be found..." You trailed off as you watched in horror as Bakugo was about to open your lingerie drawer.
You tried to yell at him not to open it, but it was already too late. He held up your matching f/c colored underwear and bra with that shit eating grin on his face.
"You're definitely taking these!" He threw the matching pair at you.
"YOU PERVERT! I can handle packing the rest of my stuff on my own!" You blushed furiously and threw yourself over the drawer to block him from going through any more of your 'personal' belongings.
"Suit yourself then, kitten!" Bakugo plopped himself on your bed, looking through his phone.
You shake your head in annoyance and went to the bathroom to pack your toiletries.
"Why'd he leave?" You suddenly hear Bakugo ask from your room.
You were taken a back. You stuck your head back out to look at him. He had stopped going through his phone and was giving you a serious look.
"My dad...? I don't like talking about it...kind of brings up painful memories..." You tell him.
He went silent for a bit so you shrugged it off and continued packing again.
A few seconds later, you heard his voice again. "It's not like I care or anything...but you could tell me, ya know?"
It was your turn to be silent. You heard Bakugo hop off your bed and stomp over to you. He looked straight into your e/c eyes. You could tell he wasn't going to let it go so you finished packing the last of your belongings and gestured him back to sit on the bed. You sat down next to him.
You explained everything you could remember. The night your parents were fighting...how your dad was a pro Hero but lost it and cut your tail off, how he mistreated your mom, and how he had gone 'missing' because of all that happened.
While you were explaining everything to Bakugo, he had a stoic face but you could tell he was listening intently to every word you said.
After you finished your story, you looked into his crimson eyes but it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. No matter what his reaction would be, you felt a lot lighter now that you were able to talk about it.
"...does it hurt?" He finally spoke up, pointing toward your backside where your tail should be. It was weird hearing him sound so concerned and...almost gentle.
You shook your head. "No."
"Can I see it?" Bakugo stood up from the bed.
"No, it's not a pretty sight...you might be grossed out." Your ears flattened against your head.
"The fuck I will?! I want to see!" This was something the explosive boy was dead set on.
"OK...just turn around for a second."
"Fine." Bakugo muttered and turned his back towards you.
You lightly blushed while you pulled down your skirt a little. "OK, you can look."
Bakugo turned around, his eyes falling and staying on your stub. You started feeling uncomfortable so you pulled your skirt back up and faced him.
"No one deserves that...especially not you! And especially not from your own shitty father!" Bakugo began as he clenched his fist. "FUCK! Heroes are supposed to be there to keep you safe from villains...not from things like that!" He punched the wall which left a crack or two. "And you go on all happy with that stupid smile of yours all the damned time..." Bakugo finished, looking away from you.
You smile softly. "That's why...I want to be a hero. So I can protect others."
