Eraserhead shot up out of bed to see Mic racing to the door, already. He was shrugging on a shirt, and Aizawa knew to follow.
Midnight was out of her room, already on crowd control. "Not it." She said, sighing. "It's-"
"Bakugo." Shota finished, as Nemuri stepped into the elevator to go calm the other students who had by now, no doubt, started to flee to the common rooms.
Hizashi struggled to open Katsuki's door because he could not hear the tell-tale "beep" that the combination was finished being input and had to start over again. When Aizawa caught up to him, their trouble-making child was on the floor, groaning in pain, blood flowing from his ears.
"Do you have a head injury?" Eraserhead asked, kneeling down. He looked at his injured student's face. Confusion. Aizawa clicked his tongue. "You can't hear me. You ruptured your eardrums with your explosion." He said, sadly.
Yamada knew from the start. He had the grace to set down the ASL dictionary beside the boy and put a hand on top of Bakugo's. The boy shrugged it off and Hizashi, with NO patience, tugged it back and splayed the fingers to sign "fine" before the sign that signaled a question.
Katsuki yelped in surprise when he found his fingers covered in blood, already drying, in his ear. Bakugo took an attitude out of fear and tried to slap away Mic's hand, but Hizashi plunked the boy back down onto his bottom and pointed for Katsuki to pick a hand signing "yes" or "no".
"FINE!" Bakugo finally signed back. "But. Hurt. In."
"I'm fine, but I'm in pain"- essentially
"Happened, what?" Hizashi signed. Aizawa knelt down after cleaning up what looked to be a shattered mug of boiling instant coffee. Shota typed out a question with particular disdain at the possibility of the answer being a stupid: yes.
Did you use your quirk to make coffee?!
He showed the phone to Bakugo, who was signing on the floor, with one hand, and fighting Mic to not look at his ear with the other. Katsuki froze for a second and squinted to read the phone before frowning and looking away and Hizashi took the liberty to seize the boy and throw him over his shoulder. Katsuki tried fighting, but received a warning swat to his behind from Mic. Bakugo slumped.
Shota met up with Hizashi and Katsuki in Recovery Girl's Clinic.
"It will take roughly six weeks before the ear drums are healed. I can give him a sweet tonic for the pain and to start the process. If it were something dense like a bone, I could fix it in no time, but I'm afraid the inner ear is entirely different." Shuzenji said, pulling off a glove. She gentle trickled a few drops into Bakugo's turned head and then cleaned it out with a pad of gauze. He was angered at the help and embarrassed at his plight, all-in-one-emotion. Begrudgingly, he signed "Thank you." and walked out the door. Aizawa handed him notepad and a pen. It said:
I expect you in class- when your suspension is up.
It was now Tuesday, Bakugo was not allowed back until Thursday. That, and he was expecting a spanking for exploding a mug of coffee in his room. Seeing as it was NOT Thursday, Katsuki figured he'd try his luck on getting to move back to his old room, away from the first floor, where he could not seem to STOP getting in trouble.
"You Going Where?" Mic asked Bakugo. He got a scowl-turned-frown in return. Katsuki had to set down his box from his hip and his suitcase and clicked the pen open. Hizashi lowered the paper. "Sign." He ordered.
"R-O-O-M" Bakugo signed.
"No." Yamada replied. He had his hearing aides in, but was signing only for Bakugo at this point. "You Here Stay. Bad Behavior."
Katsuki stomped his foot a tiny bit and exhaled hard while scowling. He would try to talk out loud, but he couldn't hear anything over the ringing and the bone resonance was painful. He was stuck wearing stupid headphones, too, to keep the cotton balls with antibiotics in his ear and protected.
"Practice Signing More, OK?" Mic asked.
"YoUSssiGnNITTtTTttAlLk!" Katsuki tried, angrily, turning his face away.
Hizashi scratched his head. He put a hand on Bakugo's shoulder and signed "Again?"
"YOU! Sign! I! TtalK!" Katsuki demanded more urgently. Yamada looked saddened.
"I can't understand you." The instructor said out loud. Bakugo made a face and pointed to his throat. It saddened Present Mic the Voice Hero to be the one to tell the boy. "NO VOICE. JUST HANDS." He waited for it to sink in. "Or PEN."
"C'mon, we'll bring your stuff back." Aizawa sighed aloud, signing as well.
Katsuki grabbed the ASL dictionary and flipped to the page on "Spa-"
"You Me Spanish?!" He signed fervently. "Over Coffee?!"
"Mexico?" Mic asked out loud- having learned sign language in the United States while he was prepping to become an English teacher for U.A. He recognized the sign, but not exactly what it meant. Aizawa took the book.
"Spanking." He said, before turning to the two hearing-impaired individuals. "Spanking- Wrong Word. Look."
Bakugo frowned. "DddDoNnn't WhhAnT!" He shouted, wincing in pain, before he was being dragged to the R&C.
"Strip." Aizawa signed, two thumbs up in an unzipping motion.
Katsuki took the spanking over Aizawa's knee. It was noticeably lighter than usual, but still hurt like the dickins. When he was zipping his pants back up, Shota tapped on an open face of the tablet.
"If you need help, you need to ASK. No showers. Only baths in the infirmary. You can't get water in your ears. Sign here."
With that, Katsuki signed his name away in agreement. He thrust the pen back. "What if I DON'T take B-A-T-H?" He tried to ask, indignantly.
Aizawa gave a full-force swat to the teen's bottom and then with the Y-Shape hand signed. "That."
Bakugo's eyes went WIDE as he realized he had never been hit at full-force. He nodded and scurried away. Aizawa almost chuckled. Never doubt Eraserhead, you fool. He thought to himself.
