2 WEEKS LATER
I'm on my way home from the store. Brought me a new video game I'm ready to try out! I can't be a super hero in real life but I can at least in video games. I can hear yelling as I continue down the street. Wow, someone is in a really bad argument. I get closer and realize it is coming from Bakugou's parents house.
"It's my life mom!" yells Bakugou.
"You stupid brat!" she screamed. "How could you not tell me!"
"Honey, calm down," says Mr. Bakugou. "It's going to be okay. Bakugou is strong tough kid, he will be fine."
"Thank you!" exclaimed Bakugou. "Someone knows how awesome I am!"
"Get the fuck out of my face!" screamed Mrs. Bakugou. "My only shitty fucking child is going to fight some pointless war." She starts crying before screaming and swinging wildly to get at Bakugou out of anger. She looks really hurt making me feel so bad for him.
"Mom your being ridiculous!" exclaims Bakugou. I finally get close enough and his mom spots me.
"Midoriya, talk some sense into him!" she demands. I don't even know what to say as I freeze in place.
"He agrees with me!" says Bakugou proudly. Yes and no. I mean I can understand Bakugou wanting to say lives but I don't want him to die. He has a bad temper and I'm not sure how good he is at fingering out other's quirks. I know for a fact I'm better at it than he is.
"You liar!" yells his mom trying to get at him.
"Son, take a walk while I talk to your mother," suggests Mr. Bakugou holding her tightly. He begins to lead his wife inside their home.
"Nothing you say is going to make this better!" she screamed. "Get off of me!" She is very upset and I knew she would be. Bakugou walks towards me growling.
"She is overreacting," he huffs.
"I'll show you overreacting!" she says waving her fist.
"Come on, let's get out of here," I say afraid to see what will happen if she gets lose. We're walking towards my home in silence for a few minutes. "So you actually did it huh."
"Really Deku," droned Bakugou. "You know I mean what I say."
"I know but…"
"Nothing to think about" he states. "I'm the best hero and soon to be best war hero. What the fuck is in the bag?" I forgot I was even holding it.
"I just brought a little something for myself," I state holding up the bag. "Just some video games."
"You would be into something so childish" he states before clicking his tongue.
"You should really try it before you start judging," I reply. Bakugou snarls in response but continues to follow me to the house. I pull out my keys unlocking the door.
"Where's your folks?" he asked.
"I think mom is working a late shift and dad is out of town for work," I reply. "I really hate him travelling with the war going on and everything."
"Things will be fine once I get there!" brags Bakugou. "War will be over in 2 years tops." Glad he is so confident but I really don't think he knows what he is getting himself into. Bakugou follows me to my room. I head over to my desk pull out scissors to open my new game. "I can't believe you actually changed your room." I turn around and noticed Bakugou is actually looking around. He has been over but not since last summer. That was only because he wanted back some shirt he lent me. It's a long story I would rather not get into.
"I changed a few things," I reply turning on my game system. Bakugou chuckles.
"What? Didn't want the girls to see how obsessed you're with All Might" he says. I start blushing. That is not why I wanted to change my room. I have never had a girl in here. Sure I have kissed and done a few things here and there but nothing serious. Somehow, I always ended losing the girl to some other guy who had a quirk. What girl would want to have a child with me and I don't have a quirk.
"I wasn't obsessed," I reply putting my game into the system. "He was my hero, I looked up to him."
"Yeah whatever," stated Kacchan sitting on my bed. "What the fuck are you playing?"
"You mean we," I said tossing him a controller. Bakugou catches it looking at it like I tossed him shit. "Come on live a little, let's kill some zombies."
"Zombies?" he questions.
"Yeah," I reply sitting on the bed. "We're going to save who we can and try to take back our city. This game is called Surviving City Of Apocalypse. You can pick which character you want to play."
"This sounds so savage," said Bakugou looking at me like I'm crazy.
"It's survival!" I exclaim. I go to the main menu and select my character who is young doctor. Bakugou picks some young student who is really strong but also a bully, pretty fitting.
"I can't believe I'm even playing this," says Bakugou. I just smile glad that he is. As expected he ends up getting really into the game. "Deku shoot that fucker!"
"I got it!" I yelled. I had my character in the game load up their gun and aim when a zombie comes out of nowhere. Bakugou shoots it in the head.
"Oh man" he says. "Now if I can get a gun like this in real life." He begins to laugh. "I'm still saving your ass."
"Shut up!" I exclaim feeling like a total dork. Bakugou laughs and I feel my heart flutter slightly. I look at his face lighting up. We finally get to a saving point and Bakugou pulls out his phone. He rolls his eyes.
"My mom is crazy," says Bakugou. "She is literally blowing my phone up. God I'm going to be a damn war hero. I'm helping to save this country!"
"We know that," I said sitting down my controller. "I mean she's your mom, she's going to worry." Bakugou snarls.
"I'm starving, what you got to eat?"
"I don't know," I shrug. "My mom usually cooks."
"You're a shitty host," says Bakugou folding his arms. "I'm going to piss." He walks out of my room and I go and turn on my computer. I can't help it that I don't know how to cook. I bet his ass doesn't know how to cook either. I pull up a menu looking at what to order. I remember what Bakugou likes for the most part. I'm paying for it so he will get the fuck over it. I place an order for a burger and fries for the both of us, should be here in 30 minutes. I wonder if we will be able to finish the game tonight? I'm use to playing these by myself and I'm liking this whole playing with someone else. Bakugou comes back into the room.
"I ordered us dinner," I tell him.
"I'm not paying for it," he says shoving his hands in his pockets.
"I didn't say that to ask for money," I reply almost wanting to smack him. Let me finish my sentence, jesus. "It should be here in 30 minutes."
"I guess you're a good host after all," he smirks. I look away going to grab my controller.
"You ready?"
"Me?" he asked. "You ready for me to keep saving your ass."
"Or the other way around!" I reply.
"Spare me," says Bakugou grabbing his controller. I sit back down and get comfortable before having us continue the game. I managed to save Bakugou only once but it was enough to have me beaming with pride. He was not happy of course. I had to pause the game to go get the food.
"You want a soda?" I asked walking to my nightstand to grab my wallet.
"Tea," he replies. He looks mighty comfortable on my bed. I head to the front door paying for the food. Smells so good. Bakugou never asked what did I ordered, in a way I'm kind of glad. I don't know if I could withstand him talking shit about the food I order. I grab some cold sweet tea out of the fridge. I grab everything heading back to my room.
"I'll be home tomorrow mom," states Bakugou into his phone. "What difference does it make where I am? You told me to get out of your face. I'm only following instructions. No, no I'm not being a smartass! You said it!" I sit his food on the bed and the drinks on my nightstand. I feel like I shouldn't be here listening to this. "I'll see you tomorrow mom. No I'm not resigning my parotitic duties. Bye mom." He ends the call. "God damn that women." He notices I'm back in the room. "What the fuck are you looking at?"
"N-nothing," I stammered. "Food here."
"Great," he replied. "I'm starving." He opens the container and looks surprised by what he sees. I see him lift the top bun to see what is on the burger. I order his burger rare, with pickles, onions, ketchup, and lettuce. He is not a fan of cheese on his burgers. "You actually got my order right. Not even Kirishima can remember to tell them not to put cheese on my burgers."
"I'm sure it's the cook's fault," I replied. "Most people like cheese on their burgers. Anyway tea is on my nightstand. We can finish playing after we're done eating. I don't want to die with a mouth full of fries." Bakugou smirks as he begins to eat. I turn to regular TV to see what is going on. Of course they happen to be talking about this damn war. I can't help but to stop since they are talking to All Might.
"All Might, do you see this war coming to an end anytime soon?" asked the female reporter. All Might appears to be leaving the main headquarters. He looks at the camera giving his famous smile that I loved so much as a child.
"Everything is going to be fine!" he smiles before laughing. "We're getting plenty of fresh soldiers that will help us even further to achieve our goals. Everything is under control!" The reporter tries to ask further questions but All Might politely decline. That makes me nervous. Why would All Might decline to say anything further, unless it is something bad.
"I can't wait to fight side by side with him," said Bakugou. "It's like he knows I'm coming. Did you hear that! He said new soldiers to help achieve their goal, that's me."
"Did you notice how he didn't want to say anything else?" I asked. "It's like he was trying to avoid…I don't know telling the truth."
"You're over thinking it," said Bakugou. "All Might can't give away anything to our enemies, they could be watching." He has a point but still…something didn't feel right to me about it. I decide to let it go. We enjoy our meal and play the game until we can't anymore. We have a lot more of the city to explore and possibly more people to save. Bakugou drifts off to sleep before I do surprisingly. He is on the side of my bed closest to the window. He fell asleep wearing his clothes but I'm sure enough not going to wake him to have yell at me. I get dressed in my night clothes and climb into bed.
