Chapter 13

Day 4 of training

Morning awhile before sunrise

Bakugo jolts up breathing heavily near tears. He looks around and sees his friends around him asleep.

Bakugo stands up and carefully and quietly makes coffee before stepping on the patio staring at the night sky.

Tears fall down his cheeks as he looks where the sky and sea meet each other.

Before he knows it he's few tears turned into streams and he's shaking with a cup of coffee on the small table. Bakugo sits on the ledge and dangles his feet wondering how high he has to be to die from a fall.

Only a moment later Bakugo leaning on his friends shoulder still silently crying.

"It's okay Bakugo. When you're ready you can tell me."

Bakugo gulps "A-after I had the nightmare about the villains I had another. I… was killed by villains… I saw and felt it… I woke up terrified…so I came outside to think. What about you Kirishima?"

The red head sighs "I don't know. Just couldn't sleep and I saw you gone so I came to check here."

Bakugo nods but doesn't say anything.

Kirishima "Hey? Bakugo you know… if you ever have a nightmare or just need someone… I'm here. Even if I'm asleep just wake me up. Please?"

Bakugo answers quietly "Shut up Shit hair. I can't."

"Why can't you?"

"I'm weak that's why. If I face it alone I could get stronger right…"

Kirishima turns Bakugo's head to face him

"Shit hair?"

Kirishima grabs his shoulder "Fighting this on your own will make you weaker. Yes I know that in battle you could be alone so I understand to a certain point. But Bakugo you have a team. Your team will be there for you no matter what. Who's your team right now Bakugo. Who's your friend. Who's your boyfriend who loves you more he loves the hero he looked up to his entire life. Huh? Answer me Bakugo."

Bakugo Let's his tears fall once more as he clings onto Kirishima's shirt "I love you Eijiro I mean it. I love you."

Kirishima hugs him "I love you too Katsuki."

Bakugo lets go and stares off where the land meets sea and smiles as a gentle wind blows. But the wind gets stronger

Bakugo's tears stop "Wait. Something wrong. Kirishima get inside."

"No. I'm a hero too. What's going on."

"The wind. It shouldn't be this strong. That windy bastard isn't here so it couldn't have been him."

"Villains?"

"Eijiro let's get inside. We can't fight what we can't see. You're a short range fighter and I can fight short, mid, or long range if I could see my target."

Both teens go back into their room.

Bakugo "Red Riot wake them up. I'm going to sneak to the roof to try to get a better view."

"I don't think that's a good idea Lord Explosion. We should notify Fruit Basket and Eraser Head."

Bakugo looks at him "I could be wrong. It could just be a strong wind. Or maybe a hurricane. Or maybe villains. I'm going to the roof to get a fucken idea on what's fucken going on."

"Be careful my lord."

"If I'm not back in 10 minutes tell the pros you tried to stop me but I pushed you away and blasted off. I'll take the punishment when I get back."

Red riot nods and watches his boyfriend sneak out quietly.

A few minutes later on the roof

Bakugo's looking around trying to get an idea on what's going on.

"You shouldn't be here. Bakugo."

Bakugo turns around and sees shoji standing there tall.

Bakugo "Octopus? The fuck you think you're doing."

Shoji forms a mouth on one of his pods "I noticed the wind changed. And I heard Jiro saying that Tsuyu started being weird and hibernating."

Bakugo rolls his eyes "Whatever."

"What do you think it is Bakugo?"

"A fucken meteor shower. How the fuck am I supposed to know?! It's either a villain or hurricane."

"Probably a hurricane. There was one coming towards Japan but it's small and shouldn't hit this part to hard. Either way we should go back inside."

"Go ahead octopus."

Shoji "Might want to go back inside before Aizawa-sensei-"

"I fucken know! Tck! I'm not a fucken idiot. I know he'll ground me again."

A few minutes later Bakugo sneaks back into his room since it's still before sunrise.

Mina "Bakugo? You're back!"

He raises a finger to his lips "Shut the fucken fuck up."

Sero "So Kiri filled us in. What you find out?"

"Most likely the hurricane. It's not hitting us directly. I remember it was supposed to barely hit north Japan and move on. We'll probably get strong rain and wind though."

The Bakusquads confused but goes with it.

Training wasn't canceled though they still worked on durability and mobility.

They end around 6pm though.

Bakugo sits in the commen room not binding but in a sports bra. A note suddenly appears beside him.

"We're the same" written in glitter pen with dazzle marks around it

Bakugo looks around the room for the only person who'd write like that

"Oi?! Frenchy! Get your mother fucken ass over here now."

Aoyama turns over to him scared but goes over "Yes Baku-san~*?" He says in his normal sparkley way.

Bakugo holds up the letter "What the fuck do you fucken mean but this fucken shit?"

"Non non! You're not as bright as you seem! Baku-san*"

"Speak Japanese you fucken croissant!!"

Aoyama's vain pops and he hands Bakugo another paper

"Meet me in your room in 10"

Bakugo explodes the paper and storms off after a quick "Fuck off croissant."

10 minutes later Aoyama knocks on Bakugo's window

Bakugo groans and opens it "The fuck."

Aoyama invites himself and paces back and forth nervously which irritates Bakugo.

"Spit it the fuck out frenchy."

"I'm trans too."

"Eh?"

Aoyama "Well not trans. I'm non-binary genders don't suit mwa!"

Bakugo blinks "Okay. And why're you telling me? So I could start referring to you as they or them?"

Aoyama nods going into his sparkles "Yes and non. I wanted your help Baku-san!"

"Why."

"Because! You're a transboy! I need help telling the class I'm non-binary!"

Bakugo groans rubbing his temples "Does anyone know."

"Non."

"Fuck. First off. Do you actually want everyone to fucken know?"

"Oui oui!!"

"Speak fucken Japanese or English goddamnit!!! I don't fucken speak croissant!!"

"Vous avez un fusible court Baku-san!"

[you have a short fuse Baku-san!]

Bakugo lights an explosion "JAPANESE OR GET OUT!!!"

Aoyama shields himself from the explosion

Bakugo sits back down and sighs "Answer the question."

"I want them to know."

"Why haven't you told them."

"…I was afraid."

"Afraid?"

"Could I still be a hero if I was non-binary?"

Bakugo smirks "What's in pants or shirt doesn't fucken matter. All that matters is kicking villains asses and saving people! If you can do those then you're a hero."

Aoyama smiles widely "Really?!"

Bakugo crosses his arms "That is? If you're fucken good enough to be a hero. I'm not sure if an extra like you has what it takes."

Aoyama knew that's the nicest thing they'll get. Bakugo's Bakugo after all.

Aoyama "Thanks Baku-san! Is it okay if I talk to you if someone about being non cis comes up?"

Bakugo's vain pops annoyed but he's secretly touched (he wouldn't even admit that to Kirishima's though) "Fuck you. No way."

Translation: Not in front of anyone other than maybe Kirishima but preferably not.

Aoyama smiles "Bye bye Baku-San! Mwa appreciates your help!!"

Bakugo watched them leave and after the door closes he smiles slightly

"Dumbass… Non-binary huh…?"

'Maybe we aren't all that different?'

End chapter

Honestly no idea. My friend came out to me as non-binary so I was like "Well. New chapter idea!!!" I was planning on making Aoyama transgender but I couldn't decide if I wanted to make them a transboy or transgirl.

Summary of each in case you don't know

Transboy: born female but uses male pronouns (he, him, his)

Transgirl: born male but uses female pronouns (she, her, hers)

Non-binary: born male or female but doesn't use either pronoun (they, them, their)
