Bakugo Katsuki, the shipper of UA
Chapter 6: Memories and new plans
Kakashi: Hey, could you help me a little? I think that I need some advice to confess to someone…
EdgyBird: Bakugo, if you don't mind, I would like to request your advices. I might need them for something that I have planned for.
PatricksPet: Bro! Could you give me a hand like you did to Kaminari?! PLEAAAAAAAASE?! I'd like to confess to Mina as soon as possible. I don't want Pikachu bragging in my face or calling me coward. PRETTY PLEAAAAAASE?!
KatyPerry: Bakugo, could you lend me some advices? I'd like to invite Yaoyorozu to a date but don't know how.
FourEyes: Dear Bakugo, I would like to solicit your advices. I might need them to clarify my thoughts a little…
Deku: Kacchan, there's some leftovers from today's dinner on the microwave. Sato cooked lasagna, it is delicious.
"Well, well, well…looks like there's more work to do." Spoke to no one in specific, before putting a pair of pants and heading downstairs for his dinner before starting to plan a new batch of strategies and ideas to pair people up.
Rain. Peaceful yet strong. Powerful yet calming. Dangerous yet soothing. The sound of constant little droplets of water crashing with the dormitory's windows relaxed more than one of the students of Class 1-A and, despite meaning that it was going to be a day in which people had to stay inside, excited some of the future heroes of the world because it meant a lot of things. Chillier days, not being affected by a suffocating heat due to the strong solar rays at the afternoon, water puddles and much more things.
For Katsuki Bakugo, this was the perfect weather to be alone in his room with his thoughts. It had always been like this, ever since he was a little kid. He had always enjoyed the sound of the droplets against his window, the smell that came before, during and after the rain and even the sound of thunder. He found that relaxing. Even if some people couldn't imagine him being in a calm and peaceful way, he enjoyed this things a lot when he was alone.
It had started raining at midnight, just minutes after he had arrived from his late night supper in the dorm's kitchen. When he got back into his room, he started hearing the distinct sound of the water droplets hitting against the window. As soon as he heard them, the tension and problems that had been in his mind from his earlier nap disappeared and, consequently, he calmed down.
He decided that he would start elaborating some strategies for the new couples that needed help, so, he sat at his desk and started analyzing and thinking about different ways to bring the people that requested his advices closer to their crushes. He started by prioritizing the future couples and organizing his efforts based in this list.
"Alright..." he whispered to himself in the loneliness of his room and below the light that the moon brought inside it, whilst the raindrops kept hitting his window. "I'll start with Kakashi and FeatherHead. Those seem the easiest of all and I'm curious about who is Kakashi behind."
"Maybe I'll speak with Four Eyes about his psycho crush..." continue whispering to himself before a big yawn escaped his mouth and started drafting him towards a peaceful slumber. When he was dreaming, he began to see different scenarios and memories inside his head. Good and bad ones. Happy and sad memories. But one in particular stuck in his mind that night.
He was playing some stupid game that he couldn't remember with his friends in elementary school, or well, followed by them, as well as by Midoriya at the playground in their school. After trying out his newly-acquired skill of propelling himself with the explosions that he could produce at that age to gain an advantage in the game, he fell flat in the face.
He just groaned and tried to ignore the pain, until he heard laughter. A soft and high pitched voice was laughing at him. "Geez, do you really love the ground that much, Katsu?" Spoke a little girl whilst continuing laughing at him.
He recognized the voice and the unique way of speaking and replied with his face still on the ground. "Shut up, blondie."
"Huh? Hey! I told you to call me by my name." Replied in an irritated voice while getting near to the boy that continued lying face down.
"I don't have to and I don't want to do it, so, sucks for you." Replied casually while he started to get up. Using his recently discovered quirk in that way for long periods of time, drained his stamina a lot, so he had to rest for a while before attempting to move.
"You're mean! I'll tell the teacher!" Replied the little blonde girl with a pout and a fake frown plastered in her face. She turned around after crossing her arms and decided to try the 'silent treatment' on her crush. Yes, she was crushing on this boy that wasn't treating her very nicely.
The recently red-faced due to the ground kid, stood up and saw that she was turned around. He then shrugged his shoulders and simply replied with "I don't care". He then started to walk away, until he felt a tug in his right arm.
"Hey! Don't ignore me, Katsu! You're mean!" Said the other blonde, trying to get her crush's attention back and completely forgetting about her attempt of a cold shoulder by grabbing him from his right arm before he could walk away.
"Hey, let me go!" replied Bakugo as he tried to get free from her grip. As he did, after a few tries and constant pouts from the girl, he was about to free himself. But before he could run away, he turned to yell to her, only to stop yanking his arm and see that everything around him started to banish and turn into smoke, even her face. After that, he woke up in a sweat. It had been a disturbing ending to what started as a nice dream to remember his childhood days.
"Holy shit...was that...?" Started to speak lowly into the air the hot headed kid, before the bomb exploded. "GOD FUCKING DAMNIT! WHY?! WHY IS IT THAT I CAN NEVER REMEMBER HER FACE OR HER NAME OR ANYTHING ABOUT HER?!"
And just before the waterfalls from his eyes started to pour his current emotions, there was a knock on his door.
"Bakubro? Everything's fine? Just checking in because I heard you screaming differently than everyday. And also I came to call you for breakfast. Sato made some pretty delicious pancakes. I'm sure you don't want to miss on them before Kaminari or Sero finish all of the batch or call dibs on them." Spoke the redhead from outside his door with a little concern on his voice, which he tried to hide with a cheerful tone.
"I'll come down when I want, Shitty Hair." simply replied the blonde kid. After hearing a soft chuckle from outside his door and an "Ok" coming from the redhead before he left, he relaxed.
That dream had just shocked him. It was as clear as day, almost everything, before seeing her face again. But rather than feeling down about it, he felt motivated to help others with their love lives to prevent them from this kind of suffering. Yes, he cares about his classmates. He just decides to not show it. Too much.
Therefore, the spiky blonde haired hero stepped out of bed, picked out some clothes and walked towards the bathroom inside the dorms to take a shower.
After a quick bath with the fortune that there wasn't another guy in the bathroom, he returned to his bedroom to retrieve two things: his cellphone for obvious reasons and a blue notebook in which he was scribbling ideas for the future couples or, as Mina would call them, ships, before passing out due to tiredness last night.
Whilst he started walking downstairs to hopefully get some of those pancakes that the hardening hero was bragging about, he put on his earphones and started blasting some music in his phone. Weirdly enough, he was really motivated that morning. He didn't know if it had anything to do with his dream or if it was the music, but something seemed different.
Once he finished his way down, he faked an angry face and directed towards the kitchen in silence. When he arrived, he was grateful that he had brought his earphones with him. It looked as if all those other morons were having a chaotic breakfast party, which wasn't really surprising. He simply ignored their antics, went towards the counter and started serving some food for himself.
While he was concentrated in his stuff, most of their class was debating about what to do that rainy Sunday morning in or outside the dorms throughout the day.
"We should stay inside and play some games!" Shouted excitedly before stuffing a pancake in her mouth the pink haired girl, whilst being surrounded by the girls at the table. She had Tooru, Tsu and Ochako by her right side, whilst Momo and Jirou were by her left, the sound quirked heroine being closer to Bakugo.
He noticed when he first lifted his gaze from his plate that all the other boys were either on their rooms or surrounding the TV whilst playing a videogame. 'Idiots' he thought to himselft 'I could wipe the floor with them easily.' And as soon as that thought left his head, a new song started to play on his cellphone.
It was a song that was recommended to him from an American band. It wasn't really the usual style of music he liked or heard, as he didn't listen to American stuff usually, but it caught his attention. So, without even noticing, he started tapping his feet to the beat of the song, mimicking the drumming pattern.
He really was in a good mood. Good music blasting on his ears, eating a good breakfast, rainy weather and nobody trying to disturb him. He was in peace, as weird as that may sound.
Whilst he was concentrated in finishing his meal, Jirou noticed that he was basically playing a song in the air with a really nice beat. That caught her attention. She tried to get a glimpse of Bakugo's phone, but failed miserably. She had tried to look at the screen when Kirishima came towards them and started trying to talk to Bakugo about sparring or something. He just turned down his phone and answered the red head without trouble.
This, in turn, caused the purple haired girl to release a slight frustrated sigh. She then started to listen to the beat and his patterns to try and guess the song. When she noticed that she didn't knew the song, her curiosity grew even more. 'Damn, that's a really nice beat. I need to know which song he's listening to!' thought to herself before trying to do what a lot could consider stupidly dangerous.
Bother Bakugo when he's having his breakfast.
There had been several instances in which the short tempered blonde destroyed or almost injured badly one of his classmates when they interrupted his first meal of the day. The only one that was "allowed" to do that was Kirishima, being that he could take the hit without a lot of risk.
So, even whith that huge waring and memories of her now boyfriend, which she still couldn't belive that confessed to her the day before, being hurt by his explosive classmate, she decided to risk it. She poked him with her left jack lightly in his right shoulder whilst he continued speaking with Kirishima.
When said redhead saw this, he started to panic, as well as all the girls surrounding the rocker girl. One had to have a pretty good reason to risk their lives by disturbing Bakugo in the morning. So, when they all saw him stiffen, turn slowly and take his right earphone off to look at the culprit of his newfound anger, they all prepared to protect the sound heroine due to her high sensibility to loud noises. Even more if they were from a point blank fired explosion.
And just before anyone could do something stupid and ruin a beautiful, rainy morning, they heard someone speak from the living room.
"Hey Kaachan! I have something for you that I found in my room. Some of our stuff when we were…kids…" Stated happily the greenette of the dormitories whilst approaching his brother in everything but blood, before noticing the tense atmosphere. "Ummm…is everything okay? Was I interrupting something?"
"No, Deku, just enjoying my breakfast. Rainy day. You know about it." Bakugo said towards the curly haired teen after releasing a soft sigh and directing his attention towards his rival in everyone's eyes. "Now, what the hell do you want Earlobes? I'm in a good mood, so ask quickly before it changes" concluded the blonde after turning to look to the purple-haired girl.
Said girl only shook her head a little and replied with fake calm outwardly, whilst inside she was trembling in fear, as if she was looking directly into the eyes of a curious predator. "Relax. I was just gonna ask about the song you were listening. You were playing along and the beat got my attention, Blasty."
"First of all, stop calling me that. I blow your idiot boyfriend's ass everytime he does it. That means I will gladly do it to you to. Mostly because he'll get in the way protecting you and end up being blown instead." Stated Bakugo whilst looking her directyly into the eyes, before contemplating the answer a little bit. "Actually, scratch that. Just because you're one of the idiots here that doesn't bother me as much, I'll give you a pass. Only if I get to blow Dunce Face's ass when you say it."
Jirou just stood there quiet, as if contemplating her answer. On one hand, she would see her boyfriend being blown up by Bakugo and suffer. On the other hand, she will see straight up comedy and can call Bakugo a nickname like that. She didn't falter with her answer. "Deal."
Whilst this happened, the others surrounding them either visibly paled at the image of poor Kaminari being blown up everytime his girlfriend talked with the resident explosive teen or relaxed at seeing that the situation was difused before a disaster could occur. Surprisingly, by Midoriya's appearance. This thought left Asui glancing in between the two childhood friends silently.
"Fine then. Here. This is the band and the song. Figures you'll like it." Bakugo continued after he unlocked his phone and showed her the album and name of the band.
Doing a quick search and a thumbs up later, both resumed their activities with music in their ears and happily playing the rhythm of the songs that they listened to.
To say that people around them were surprised due to the exchange between them was an understatement and before anyone could ruin the moment with a question, like Mina or Kirishima were about to do, Midoriya intervened. Again.
"Huh? Which group is it Kaachan? Is it the one I suggested?" asked with high hopes the greenette, although a little nervous of the opinion of the resident music expert girl of the dorms.
"Yeah, nerd. Not bad." Answered the blonde while nodding his head to the rhythm of another song. Both didn't notice the stares that they were gathering from the people not only in the kitchen but from the living room as well or the amused and happy smile plastered in Jirou's face. "Remind me again how you knew about them."
"Yeah Green, how did you find them?! They're awesome! We should totally exchange some bands!" Jirou spoke towards Midoriya, who looked a little bit embarrassed and nervous after becoming the center of attention of the room. This comment also got a certain antigravity heroine a little bit jealous. Not that she'll say it out loud anyway.
"Well, you see haha…" Midoriya started, with his embarrassment pretty clear but happy to know more people that may have similar tastes in music. "It's actually a band that Tokoyami, Shoji and I found in one of our playlists by accident. We were listening to some music one day in Tokoyami's room with a playlist on shuffle and…well, we found it."
"Wait…Deku…when do you gather with them?" Uraraka asked a little confused. She didn't know that her crush got along that well with those two.
"Well, Tokoyami and I are neighbors, so…hahaha one time I walked past his room and recognized a song. I knocked and they were inside listening. After that, well, we started listening to some bands together." Replied the green haired teen with a smile towards the brunette, whose cheeks gained a dust of pink after seeing his smile. Which didn't go unnoticed by Bakugo, who smirked a little at this, before putting his tough persona up again.
"Anyway, you all are disturbing me. Be glad that I've finished eating or your collective asses would've been handed to you by now. "Calmly spoke the blonde before getting up from the table, earning some stiffness and loud gulps from everyone. Except Midoriya and Kirishima.
"Geez bro, relax, we're just having fun here." Answered the enthusiastic redhead whilst Midoriya just sighed. "Anyway, wanna train a bit? Working out in a rainy day is manly as hell!"
"Fine. I'll kick your ass though." Replied with a feral grin the explosive Pomeranian. "Deku! IcyHot! Both come too so that I can kick your asses too! In fact, every guy in this room should come."
Without hesitation and somehow getting pumped by the challenge, every guy in the living room complied with Bakugo's plans and decided to accompany them training, leaving the group of girls confused for a second. Where were they going to? The gym. They were planning to train with some weights not outside. They weren't that stupid.
After a few minutes of walking and getting near the gym, Bakugo stopped everyone and spoke with them.
"So, fucktards, as we now know, Dunce Face somehow got a girlfriend and Tails basically confirmed his relationship. I got some messages from all of you last night and I decided to help you lot."
This last sentence made some of the guys relax and practically cheer in emotion due to this. Anyone that saw a group of teenagers outside the gym practically cheering for one of them when it was raining, well, could've seen this as weird. But they didn't care about this. Their morale and spirits were lifted and most were pumped about it. At least until…
"But, there's some stuff that we need to do first." Spoke in a serious voice the explosive blonde, causing the rest of the boys to give him their full attention. "First of all, we have to create something to communicate about this in secret instead of using the excuse of training every time. Someone might get suspicious about it."
"We could always create a groupchat or a server for us to talk about it. With privileges and secrecy involved as to prevent people finding about this stuff." Answered the stoic and usually calm Shoji.
"That's a great idea! It'll help us all and let us discuss more about this in moments that we might need help." Complimented Midoriya. "Exactly, nerd. Now, who'll create it?" Asked Bakugo towards the group, not really expecting an answer, until someone did.
"I'll do it. It's pretty easy and we can discuss about the specifics later. A server perhaps." Replied the raven headed hero.
"Good. Now that that's clear, there's two more things to do, idiots. First, we really are going to work out because it is a fucking beautiful day and I won't waste it doing nothing inside the dorms. At least excersise a bit." Continued with a calm tone the teenage hero leading the pack, scaring and surprising some of them due to his choice of words, but no one decided to intervene.
"Second, you have to tell me specifically who are you crushing on. Man up. If you can't acknowledge it to your friends, then you'll never be able to speak your feelings to them." Finished with a serious nod and eyes closed the explosive blonde. What he was expecting as a reaction included cheers, shouts and more of his classmates' shenanigans towards his comment. What he didn't expect, though, was silence. Complete. Silence.
As he opened his eyes to get why the fuck where they so quiet about, he noticed all the shocked expressions plastered in their faces.
"The fuck do you want suckers?" asked with an eyebrow lifted high into his forehead.
After his question, some seemed to regain composure and then…
Chaos followed.
"HUUUUUUUUH?!~ Are we your friends now Blaaaaaasty?" Sero and Kaminari said in a sing-song tone of voice simultaneously. This caused an embarrassed blush in Bakugo's cheeks to appear.
"S-shut it you bastards! I will kill you!" was the only answer that came from his mouth. Shit, he had revealed that. To all of them.
Those idiots would start teasing him nonstop from now on. This was gonna be awfully difficult to keep quiet. Shit. He fucked up. And just before more laughter and teasing came, a single but soft chuckle silenced them all.
"Hahahaha damn, hadn't seen you like that in years Kaachan. Not since elementary and…you know who…" Midoriya said with a nostalgic but happy smile plastered in his face, although the last part of the sentence was spoken with a softer tone, as if it was sympathetic.
Bakugo could only sigh and relax after listening to that. At least that part of their lives was still intact. They were good friends back there and were now trying to show that friendship to the others. But that didn't mean that the comment didn't embarrass him less. In fact, he wanted to get revenge to his rival right now. Scratch that. He would start right the fuck now.
"Oh?~ Is that you wanting to act bold Zu-chan?~ Might I remind you of your little adventures when we were little or your misfortunes with a certain white haired girl from our class?~" Smugly retorted the blonde, which made the greenette explode into a huge stuttering, blushing mess.
"K-Kaac-chan! That's secret! Stop!" Replied hurriedly the younger teen whilst trying to prevent his oldest friend from spilling secrets of his life. This in turn made both teens start to wrestle a bit in order to stop the other from speaking too much from their lives, while the others in the group sweatdropped at their antics.
"Even if this is entertaining and all, I think we should comply with Bakugo." Spoke Todoroki out of nowhere, which silenced the rest of the teens. "I don't have problems admitting that I like Yaoyorozu, is that all you needed?"
'As always, IcyHot is fucking weird' thought Bakugo whilst giving a deadpan look to the bicolored haired teen as he had Midoriya in a playful headlock from their little back and forth teasing from before.
"Yeah, sure IcyHot. You already told me yesterday, but well, it's better if everyone knows. Who's next?" Bakugo encouraged the other boys from the group who were still struggling to voice out their feelings for the girls.
"I have a crush on Uraraka, but you all knew this already." A little bashful and embarrassed Midoriya spoke to the group.
"I admit that my feelings for the lady of the lake who graces our existences in the doorms are quite deep. Just like my soul. Or the void." Were the words spoken from Tokoyami, which elicited a huge round of 'Huh's' in the group until Shoji intervened.
"He means Asui. He doesn't speak normally just to mess with you guys." Clarified the six-armed hero, eliciting a little pout from Tokoyami and some light laughter from the group. "I do have to admit that I have a crush on Reiko, from Class 1-B. And before anyone asks, yes. The mask had something to do, but it isn't all that's there."
"Huh, that was unexpected, but good for you man. I think I'm on the same boat as you, though. Tokage's the one I'm crushing on." Admitted a really red faced Sero.
"I mean, I think I'm obvious with it, but I like Mina. I have liked her for a while hehehe" Spoke the redhead with a little pink dusting his cheeks.
Sato, who joined the group to train and also knew about their plans, admitted to having a crush on a middle school friend whom he was in a more than friends' zone but not quietly lovers. That was a special case.
As everyone finished confessing their feelings and leaving them out in the open, all eyes were placed in the class president due to the fact that he was the last one to speak.
Succumbing to peer pressure, he admitted "Fine. I might be a little fond of Hatsume. Are you all happy with it?"
"Yeah, Sonic. With this I can help you all. I think that we should start with Feather Head next. I'll text the details and stuff once the server's ready." Answered the blonde after writing the pairings in his notebook. The irony didn't escape his mind as he knew he was acting like Deku, but ignored it completely.
"Now, fuckers…" Spoke in a low tone with a feral grin starting to form in his face, which gave some of them a slight chill in their spine. "Let's workout."
After a REALLY long workout session, most of the boys were almost dragging their asses to get to the dorms. The few exceptions were Bakugo, Todoroki and Midoriya, which didn't surprise the group of teenage heroes. Those three were probably the strongest from all of their grade, practically destined to be the next "Big 3". The latter of these, was remembering something that was on his mind last night while walking towards the dorms and enjoying the light tapping of rain falling in their bodies.
"I will help you find her, Kacchan. I promise." Spoke silently the greenette before opening said item to search for a specific girl that his best friend needed to get back on his life.
And with that thought in mind, he remembered what he was going to do in the morning before all the music mess happened.
Once they all arrived to the dorms, they were assaulted and reprimanded by Yaoyorozu about possible sickness that could occur to any of them from being exposed to the rain that much. Therefore, every one of them went towards the bathroom to clean themselves.
After all the ruckus, they all gathered downstairs to enjoy the rest of their Sunday. Even Bakugo was there, albeit reluctantly, because he had better stuff to do than pass time with his classmates.
Time passed with the usual shenanigans happening, involving a dumbed Kaminari after a bet lost with Sato so he had to stuck his foot inside an electric socket for a few seconds, a reunion between Tokoyami, Shoji, Jiro and Midoriya to exchange music, Todoroki having tea and a conversation with Yaoyorozu whilst watching the remaining ones involved in a board game with some concentrated and some frustrated faces.
Overall, a pretty common day for Class 1-A.
After seeing Bakugo head up towards his room, Midoriya excused himself telling the rest of the class that he was feeling a bit tired and wanted to rest a little bit. Uraraka, ableit a little disappointed due to the little time she had been spending with her best friend turned into crush, bid him goodbye with a huge smile, which made his heart skip a few beats as he returned the gesture.
Once upstairs, he went to his room quickly to grab a specific item and then headed towards the blonde's room. When he arrived, he knocked the door four times, signaling that it was him. They had spoken about how to join the other's room without the others noticing, so a little knocking code was developed.
As the blonde opened the door to let the greenette inside his room, he could see the huge grin plastered in his face.
He closed it behind his back and spoke in a teasing tone. "Huh?~ What's with that smile nerd?~ Did Round Face finally kiss you?~"
The shy teen became a blushing mess and stated that it had nothing to do with something like that. "Although…she made my heart skip a beat a few times. Fuck, I have it bad for her Kaachan." Answered a little embarrassed the ninth holder of One for All whilst scratching the back of his head. "Anyway, that isn't why I'm here."
That sentence caught Katsuki's attention. If he wasn't here to talk about Round Face or his crush on her, why the hell was he here so happy about? Not that his company bothered him. Well…It did, but not that much lately.
"I think I have found some clues to find your mystery girl again, Kaachan!" spoke happily and proudly the greenette while holding an old elementary school album in his hands.
After listening to this sentence, Katsuki's mind broke in pieces. Was that true? Could he find her again? C-could she see her again? His emotions were filling him almost to the brim. His excitement and anxiousness were through the roof.
"FUCK! What are we waiting for Deku?! Open that shit now!" Were the words that came out of his excited mouth, eliciting a light chuckle from his "brother" whilst he started opening the album.
'We'll find her Kaachan. I promise." Thought the greenette before sitting next to Bakugo and starting to rummage through the album. Both of them ignoring a ping from their cellphones that occurred at the same time, indicating that probably Tokoyami had created the server.
