Hey guys! There has been some ongoing world problems revolving around the rapid spread of the corona virus lately, and because a lot of people have been panicking and going stir crazy and what not, I figured I'd do my part as an author to help quell the panic and uneasiness and negative emotions by writing something humorous, something that helps everyone feel better about this whole ordeal even though we are going through some pretty difficult times right now.
As such, this is not the only fic revolving around this particular subject that I'll post. I'm already working on another one, and I have ideas for at least two more that may or may not be published.
School has been cancelled across most of the USA, and where I'm at in New Mexico (yes that is a state) we have a stay-at-home order that prevents us from going outside unless it's for essential trips, like grocery runs or doctor trips. I know conditions are similar, if not worse, across the globe. I just want to start off by saying I'm so sorry. I know it sucks being stuck at home because of this stupid virus. But remember: everything will be fine within a few months and we're going to get through this. Quarantine sucks ass, I hate it too. It's absolutely awful. But remember not to panic and to wash your hands frequently. That's all you need to do to protect yourself. That, and I highly encourage social distancing. Social distancing is currently helping to slow the spread of COVID-19, so keep at it! Let's crush this funny-lookin' corona virus!
So I got a wonderful idea. How would Class 1A handle being quarantined? And that's how this story was born. I hope it makes you laugh or at least smile a little. Smiling is good for you, especially in rough times like this. The world is a seriously fucked-up mess right now, I know. But we're gonna get through this. If you get bored and want to talk, my contact information is in my profile. I'm always available to chat! Enjoy the story!
Kirishima sighed. He was so damn bored.
He and everyone else at U.A. High had been ordered to stay in their dorms, isolated from everyone else because of the rapidly spreading corona virus. He was fine with it at first, but as time went on, he became increasingly lonelier and more desperate to get out.
"Dammit." he grumbled, pacing back and forth across his dorm. "I hate this."
He missed all of his friends, especially his two best friends Bakugou and Kaminari. They had been texting, of course, but it wasn't the same as face-to-face interaction and Kirishima was sorely missing that. He was missing socializing with his classmates. Hell, he was even starting to miss Mr. Aizawa's teaching and the homework he assigned! That's how bored and desperate he was.
He grabbed his phone from where it was sitting on his bed and sent a text to Bakugou.
Their conversation reads as follows:
Kirishima: man I'm so goddamn bored.
Bakugou: you and me both pal.
Kirishima: how are you dealing with it? Got any bright ideas for things to do? I'm desperate.
Bakugou: lol nope. I'm so fuckin bored that I asked Kaminari to spam my phone with those memes of his, just so I'd have something to look at!
(At this, Kirishima chuckled because Bakugou usually got all kinds of mad when Kaminari spammed him, so Bakugou must've reached a whole new level of boredom never seen before by humankind if he wanted Kaminari to spam him.)
Kirishima: lmao dude wtf. That ain't like you at all. But that idea ain't half bad, I might have to try it. We all know Kami has like an endless supply of memes in his phone.
Bakugou: I wonder where does he get them?
Kirishima: I asked once, he wouldn't tell me. Only hinted that he makes more than half of them himself.
Bakugou: hmmm suspicious...
Kirishima: it's too bad we have to social distance otherwise I'd probably go over to his place right now and beat the answer out of him.
Bakugou: lmao you'd have to get in line. Was already planning on doing that the moment we're allowed to get within six feet of each other.
Kirishima: and when we're allowed to leave our dorms. Jesus Christ, dude, this sucks.
Bakugou: ugh I know don't remind me. Bruh you know what's funny tho?
Kirishima: what?
Bakugou: the other day, Kaminari and I discovered that the walls of our dorms aren't very thick. Because our dorms are side by side, if we sit close enough to the same wall and talk loud enough, we can have an actual conversation through the walls.
Kirishima: oh damn! Love that! Aren't you and I neighbors or something? We could all totally have a conversation! You'd just have to tell me what Kami says since I doubt I can hear him from back here.
Bakugou: oh hell ya! Hey go over to the left wall of your room and let's see if it works.
Kirishima: k...
With that, Kirishima got up and scurried over to the left wall, the one that connected with Bakugou's room. He sat down near the wall and listened closely. Only a moment passed before he heard Bakugou's voice faintly coming through the other side.
"Kiri? You there?"
Kirishima smiled so widely his face might've stretched out of shape. It had been so long since he'd heard his friend's voice. "Yeah, I'm here. Dude! It's been so long since we've last talked!"
"Yeah, I know." Bakugou grumbled. "It sucks ass. Damn this stupid corona virus."
"The corona virus can go to hell." Kiri agreed.
"Kaminari says he misses you a lot." Bakugou said, after a moment's hesitation. "And that he's gonna spam you with memes. Says he can probably keep you entertained for hours with all his memes."
The redhead chuckled, leaning his head against the wall. "He's not wrong. Tell him I said I miss him too, can't wait to harshly judge all the memes he sends me."
"Will do." Bakugou agreed. "But first..." Kiri frowned, he could practically sense his blonde friend's smirk even through the wall. "Should I also add that you are hopelessly crushing on him?"
"Dude, what the fuck?" Kirishima turned as red as his hair. "We've been over this! No!"
Bakugou's amused laughter carried through to the other side of the wall. "Okay, okay. You're no fun."
A few moments passed. Kirishima could hear some muffled, faint conversation from the other side. Then Bakugou returned.
"He says he'll go ahead and start sending them. Rapid-fire, so you might want to put your phone on silent so it doesn't blow up." Bakugou's familiar gruff voice said, with a hint of amusement.
"You didn't tell him anything else, did you?" Kiri asked, skeptically.
There was no response. Kiri choked on his own saliva and slapped the wall to get his friend's attention.
"Bakugou!"
"How badly would you kill me if I did say anything else, Kiri?" the blonde asked.
"I would kill you so dead that the only thing left of you would be a puddle of blood and guts on the floor, you dumb fuck." the redhead snarled.
"Uhhh... Then let's just say I didn't tell him anything at all, kay?"
"Bakugou! What the fuck did you do?"
"I... May or may not have subtly hinted that you've got the hots for him." Bakugou mumbled.
"You slimy piece of shit!" Kirishima exclaimed, punching the wall as hard as he could without putting a hole through it. He activated his quirk in just his arm, hardening his skin and bones so that he didn't split his knuckles or experience any pain when his fist connected with the wall. "You are so lucky I'm not allowed within six feet of your dumb ass! If I were, I'd throttle you!"
"Jesus, dude, calm down! You hit the wall so hard that even Kaminari heard it!" Bakugou laughed.
Kiri paused his outraged shouting for a moment to listen. Indeed, he could faintly hear Kaminari's familiar, high-pitched, musical laughter. It made him smile a little.
"Did he hit the wall?" Kaminari's voice asked, although he was far enough away that Kiri could Barnet make out his words. "Did he actually? I'm dying, that's too funny!"
"Yes, Sparky, he actually hit the wall. About scared the shit out of me." Bakugou replied.
"I didn't put a hole in it this time, at least." Kiri pointed out, helpfully.
He faintly heard Kaminari's confused "Wha-a-at?"
"He said he didn't put a hole in it this time at least!" Bakugou replied.
"Oh! Good job, Kiri! I'm proud of you!" Kaminari shouted.
"Thanks, Kami!" Kiri shouted back. "Where the hell are those memes you promised me, man?"
"I'm working on it, man!" Kaminari replied. "So far, I've got a message going with a grand total of 55 image attachments and I'm still adding to it. I won't be surprised if my phone explodes when I try to send it though."
"Jesus Christ, Sparky, how many goddamn memes do you have in your phone??" Bakugou sounded absolutely revolted.
Kaminari's response: "Uhhh... I've got a trilobite of storage on my phone, and half of that is memes..."
"Bwahahaha!" Bakugou and Kirishima burst out laughing.
"Holy fucking shit, Kami..." Kiri wheezed, laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.
"Wait, wait, wait, you mean to tell me that you have half a trilobite worth of memes on your phone?" Bakugou was practically howling with amusement. "I always knew you were a nut job but I had no idea it was this bad!"
Several moments passed before the two boys had calmed down enough to hear what Kaminari had been trying to tell them for the past two or three minutes.
"Kiri should check his phone, I finally got it to send and my phone didn't explode surprisingly..."
Kiri obediently grabbed his phone and unlocked it, still chuckling to himself. Despite the fact he had been expecting it, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets when he saw he now had 93 message notifications from Kaminari alone.
"Did you get the memes?" Bakugou asked, from the other side of the wall seperating them.
"All 93 of them, thanks, Kami!" Kiri shouted.
There was a long pause, and then Kaminari's adorable voice replied, "You're very welcome, broski!"
Now all three of the boys were laughing hysterically, both with and at each other. Kirishima was feeling better than he had in a long time about this whole corona virus thing.
Even though he and his friends were quarantined in their dorms, doomed to spend the rest of the school year separated by thin walls, they had found a way to connect with one another. They had found a way to make the loneliness of quarantine not seem so lonely anymore. And this method promoted social distancing, because the corona virus can't pass through solid walls, even if those walls are thin enough that Kaminari's musical laughter can be heard two rooms away.
The end (for now...)
Thanks so much for reading! Remember to stay strong, socially distance yourself from others but don't lose contact with your friends, and wash your hands frequently! We'll get through this together! We've got this! Love y'all, keep your chins up and try to enjoy life a little. Stay safe!
