(Bakugou)
They were both released from the hospital a few days after that. They didn't talk at all really. After he broke his phone, there wasn't very much way that they could talk to one another.
That and neither of them really wanted to be able to talk to one another. After he shouted at Sh*tty Hair, neither of them really knew what to say, leading to him simply cursing Sh*tty Hair out every time they interacted.
So they left each other alone when they got back to the dorms. They didn't speak to each other.
Alien had picked up on helping him with his classes. She honestly took far better notes than Sh*tty Hair did anyway.
She slid another paper to his side of the desk, vaguely describing everything Aizawa was talking about. She quickly started on another piece of paper, writing as fast as she could manage to make sure he got everything that was said.
Bakugou simply read over the paper, having to lean in close just to be able to see it. He hadn't gotten his new glasses yet.
The following week he was supposed to go to the eye doctor to see if his eyes were improving, or getting worse so they knew whether they needed to adjust the new glasses or not. Then on the same day he was supposed to go with his parents to the doctor to see the results of his hearing aids testing, to see if it would be possible for him to hear or not, and how much he would be able to hear with the aids.
The alien slid another page over to him and then laid down on the desk, panting exhaustedly, signaling to him that class was over. He examined the page with a frown and then stood up. They were moving on to another hero training class.
This was one that Pikachu usually helped him with.
They stood outside, all of them in their gym uniforms, forming a half circle around their sensei. Dunce face stood right against Bakugou pretty much, their shoulders touching. Bakugou growled under his breath but there wasn't much of an option. He would rather be squished up against Pikachu than being within a three four radius of f*cking Deku, who was standing on his left.
'We're going over quirk weaknesses. Aka my weakness~Kam'
Bakugou huffed as he watched the boy type it in. He still didn't have a phone, so instead he was forced to watch Pikachu type everything out, show it to him, and then erase it.
'Sensei: All of our quirks have things that can backfire on us. We already know a lot of our quirks drawbacks and weaknesses, but today we're going to train to see if we can combat those weaknesses. The class rep can take it from here. - bro I'm going to have a heart attack typing this all out - ~Kam'
Of course he was the type of guy to make faces. Bakugou grunted in annoyance and nodded.
He already knew plenty about how his quirk worked, and several side effects it could have. His body could produce Nitroglycerin-like sweat. Nitroglycerin itself was something that was both used in dynamite and certain types of medicine, though it had many side effects. Bakugou didn't typically get many of them, saying as he wasn't usually swallowing it, but instead of producing it from his body.
Thanks to his parents, he was actually a perfect combination of quirks, his father being able to create sweat with explosive-like properties. Though his father could never forfully produce such sweat to do this. His mother, was the Glycerin side of his quirk, she created a sweet scented medicine that could be made into lotions that helped the skin greatly. And it somewhat acted as a fuel, making her pretty powerful when it came to combat, and Bakugou was most certainly aware of that. Though when it was combined with his father's miniature explosions, it acted as a fuel, making them far larger and more powerful.
This left Bakugou with the ability to forcefully sweat Nitroglycerin to create large explosions with mass destruction power, and would actually leave him smelling like sweet caramel afterwards.
((Yes all this information is canon, I researched ;-;. I did much research. I might have described it wrong buT at least I learned the facts ._.))
Though a drawback of his quirk that they'd found was that his explosions were…. Explosions, they were bright, and they were loud, meaning that he could blind himself and deafen himself, or others. Lucky enough for him, someone had already done that for him and he didn't have to worry about that.
And yes. That was sarcasm.
He had noticed several of his classmates drawbacks as well. All of them obviously had them.
Pikachu nudged him to get his attention.
'Iida: As Sensei said, we all have our quirk drawbacks, I myself can have a lot of trouble with my engines, I have to- I'm not typing all this out. He's going into a tangent about cleaning his engines…~Kam'
Both boys groaned and rolled their eyes boredly.
'The only important stuff he said was that we need to find the biggest flaw of our quirk, and try to combat it, we'll be split into teams and all that good shiz to test out how we're defending. That's about it. ~Kam'
Bakugou nodded. He swore he would end up being paired with f*cking Deku. The f*cking teachers always thought it was f*cking funny to pair him up with the sh*tty kid he was oh so tired of hearing about. And tired of hearing him save the day and being the hero. All the other kids in the class were aiming for the same thing he was, yet he was the one who was still declaring he was going to be top hero, he was still the one that got special attention from All-Might. He was /the/ student. And nobody cared.
Nobody else realized it.
Deku looked at other people as though they needed help, even when they didn't. He looked at other people as weak. He took everything into his own hands when there were other people more capable of doing it.
He took notes on heroes but still didn't even realize that one of the biggest things about being a hero was teamwork, and assigning people to where they were needed.
He was tired of it. He was tired of dealing with him, he was tired of being forced to work with him, he was tired of hearing- oh. Well he already couldn't hear Deku's annoying-a*s voice anymore.
At least there were some perks to this.
'Aizawa: For now just learn about your quirks weaknesses, we'll pair up tomorrow for the actual training part. You all will have the gym for a few hours today to do this.~Kam'
Bakugou nodded at that and followed the others as they began to move towards the gym. He glanced at where Sh*tty Hair laughed along with his group, grinning happy as him, Pikachu, and Pinky all talked to Tape, who was officially being brought back into classes.
His gaze moved to the scar along his elbows where his quirk centered from. He was still barely healed, the scars from his surgery still looked too fresh for him to be doing too much with his quirk.
He must just be around to watch.
Bakugou looked back at where they had begun discussing what the weaknesses of their quirks were, though it was obviously all silent for him. He shoved his hands in his pockets, leaned against the wall by where IcyHot was.
IcyHot signed something to him, though he only understood one word of it; Signing.
"I'm assuming you're questioning my ability to sign Half n Half?" He questioned with a raised brow. The boy nodded. "I only know the alphabet, and-" He proceeded to do the signs for 'die', several curse words, and finished with flipping IcyHot off.
IcyHot nodded, not saying anything else on it, but instead turned his multicolored gaze to where the others were discussing their quirks.
"You don't know your weaknesses do you?" Bakugou questioned. The ever so slightly taller boy shook his head and took out his phone, beginning to type something.
He eventually offered his phone over to Bakugou.
'My cold side can frost if I use it too long, but I've already discovered ways to combat that, that was one of my main flaws. I have a lot of control over my quirk thanks to training I've had with my father.~T'
Bakugou grunted and handed his phone back to him. "If you can't think of any other flaws then you haven't reached your ultimate capability yet. Or just haven't paid enough attention." Bakugou muttered.
'Then what are your flaws?~T'
Bakugou frowned and stared at him blankly. "I'm deaf and can barely see due to an explosion dumba*s." The realization seemed to hit half n half like a train, he frowned a bit and nodded, motioning a small 'sorry'. Bakugou shook his head and shoved his hands in his pockets.
Bakugou stared at the door as Pikachu's image appeared, Acid's coming up next to it and then Tape's coming up below theirs. He grunted a bit and sat up on his bed.
"Come in losers!" He called to them, watching as the three of them poked their heads in the door before stepping in and surrounding him. Pikachu sitting on the bed with him while Tape leaned against the wall and Pinky sat on the floor.
She held out a white box to him with a bright smile, all three of them seemingly excited.
"What the f*ck do you all-" He cut off as he took the box and examined it. A new phone.
They got him a phone.
Pikachu took out his own phone and typed something before handing it to Bakugou.
'After we heard that your phone was broken, all of us pitched in to get you a new one! It was Kiri's idea. ~Kam'
Bakugou grumbled quietly as he set the box to the side and looked at the three of them, a frown moved across his face and he moved to yell at them for thinking he was too weak to get it by himself but- they would have been right wouldn't they?
His family couldn't afford to pay for all of his hospital visits, his hearing aids, and a new phone, so they had asked him to choose between the aids and the phone, naturally he chose the f*cking hearing aids because that was what he needed.
"Thanks…" He said quietly instead. "Where's Kirishima..?" he spoke. He opened the phone box as Tape typed it out.
'He didn't come, didn't say why.~Sero'
Bakugou grunted and handed the phone back to Tape, returning to opening his own.
"Tell him to get his a*s up here when you guys leave." He spoke. The other three nodded and watched as he turned his phone on, their stupid grins growing larger by the second.
Pikachu handed him a phone case, obviously the perfect size for the phone. It was black with two orange stripes over to back, making an X.
He smirked ever so slightly. They up his hero uniform on the back of the phone case.
'We thought that would be fitting, Kam was the one that painted it. Turns out he's actually pretty good at it.~Mina'
Bakugou gently clicked the phone case onto his phone as he opened the contacts and handed the phone to the boy sitting next to him.
Pikachu looked up in surprise.
"Put your number in there dumba*s. And your name." Bakugou growled as he smiled. At this point the three morons surrounding him were losing it and were doing everything in their power to contain their excitement.
He watched as Sparky put 'Pikachu' as his name. Bakugou grunted again. "Your name. I don't f*cking know it and I f*cking want to." Bakugou snapped.
Oh g*d they were going to cry. He was so glad he couldn't hear them, as he knew they were all losing their collective sh*t.
Alien and Tape were practically bouncing up and down in their spots waiting for their turns to put their names in his phone. Each of them obviously added a picture as well, so he'd at least be able to know which was which.
'You need us to add Kiri's?~Sero'
He read as his phone was handed back to him. He shook his head ever so slightly as he placed Sh*tty Hair's number into the device, putting his name with two emojis on either side of it.
"I already know it." He spoke aloud, watching as all of them continued to flip the f*ck out. He eyed them all. "What the f*ck is wrong with you all?"
Within the next moment they added him to a group chat.
'GC~You know his name!?~Sero'
'GC~More important than that you know his number by heart!?~Mina'
'~Kaminari has set the name to 'Bakubro is Gay'~'
Bakugou threw an explosion at the boy sitting next to him without even looking up from his phone.
"What the f*ck is wrong with that f*ckos!? F*cking Sh*tty Hair just so happened to be the first name I f*cking learned a*sholes!" He shouted as he threw his pillow at them, watching as they all laughed and scattered away from him.
He hissed and laid down on his bed, looking at his phone and at the three names. "What the f*ck kind of name is 'Mina'?" He muttered.
Moments later his light lit up for only a second before his door was thrown open and a redhead was thrown in, followed by three other excited little children.
Bakugou huffed and stood up. "Why did you bring Sh*tty-" He cut off as he examined the boy in front of him. His hair was down for once. It wasn't Sh*tty. It was kind of like how it was before he changed it. Which Bakugou barely even remembered, as he had dyed it and changed it only a few days after classes started. "Kirishima." He finally finished as he shoved his hands and his phone in his pocket.
The redhead turned and said something to the other three, to which they all nodded.
What the f*ck were they saying? He hated not being able to hear them… He reached and grabbed the side of Kirishima's face to force him to look back to him, all of them going quiet very quickly. "I don't like not knowing what's being said." He grumbled, Kirishima just kind of stared at him like an idiot. "Someone f*cking translate." He growled as he took his hand back and shoved it back into his pocket.
Eventually Kirishima stumbled to get his phone out.
'I was asking the others if they had given you the phone yet~Kiri'
'they did~B'
'They said you already had my name and number?~Kiri'
The two boys made eye contact. Bakugou didn't even have to look at his phone to know the other three morons were sending stuff in their little group chat.
'correct ~B'
Bakugou simply moved his phone up and took a picture of Kirishima to set as the picture in his contacts and then gave him a slight smirk, watching as he freaked out about not looking Manly in the picture.
Bakugou didn't even have to hear him to know that was exactly what he was doing. They all looked to Pinky as she jumped up and down and shouted something. He started typing to Kirishima to translate but the redhead had already sent a message.
'She wants us to all take a picture for your lockscreen. She apparently thinks you'd be ok with that?~Kiri'
Bakugou stared at the text and grunted ever so slightly, looking at all of them as they made puppy dog eyes. He frowned and then handed his phone to Kirishima. "You're all a bunch of losers." He huffed, scoffing at all their dumb a*ses.
Kirishima slung his arm over Bakugou's shoulders, holding out the phone as the others gathered around them, squeezing into the picture as best they could.
One of the idiots put their hand on his shoulder and tugged him back, causing him to lose his balance and send all of them to the ground to lay there. All of them groaning and cursing under their breaths, Kirishima took the picture.
That night Bakugou looked at his lockscreen on his brand new phone, eyeing how they had all been in a hell of an amount of pain, but still were all laughing, and how he was actually smiling in the picture.
Him and Kirishima were in the front, Kirishima laughing so hard there were tears in the corners of his closed eyes, his mouth wide open and revealing all of his shark-like teeth, Acid was squished slightly under Kirishima, one of her eyes closed as she too laughed happily. Pikachu was nearly entirely crushed beneath both Kirishima and Bakugou, his laugh looking to be a lot more pained than everyone else's, but still just as happy. Then Tape had somehow managed to avoid getting stuck under anyone and tooked just fine in the picture, being above everyone else.
Bakugou smiled slightly at the picture, opening his contacts and sending it to both of his parents.
'my friends got me a new phone~B'
Was what he decided to send under the picture. There was a moment of hesitation in their replies after it was seen. He already knew their thoughts.
He had friends.
Ones that he referred to as friends.
G*d they read too deep into everything he said.
'dont make a big deal out of this h*g~B'
He made sure he added onto it before he placed his phone to the side and rolled over on his bed, still smiling ever so slightly.
