Author's Note

Okay so I guess I should clarify. Remember when I said I would post every so often. Turns out it's gonna be sporadic. The chapters will either be a bit shorter or take longer...

Sorry about that but hey! New chapter! Now. Let's see what's been going on while Izuku and Mina have been gone.

Bakugo watched All Might and the Ashido's drive off the campus from his window. To say he felt better would be a lie. He felt terrible! He knew it was stupid to lose his cool and explode Mina like that. Now his only question was... Where was Aizawa?

In front of the 1A dormitories

Cementoss looked to Aizawa as he overlooked the plans for the house.

"I almost can't believe we are actually building a house for just two students" Cementoss stated.

"It's not two students. It's three people." Aizawa corrected "Okay good... We should be done right on schedule. Thankfully you don't need me. Tell Mic to handle the rest, it's so simple even he can understand it." Aizawa said as he tossed the construction plans to Cementoss

Cementoss looked a bit confused "What are you going to do?"

Aizawa looked at the 1A dorm "Dish out punishment..."

In the dorms of class 1A

Everyone was trying to figure out why Izuku and Mina left so suddenly. All Might had promised to explain later but they were still curious and as such, rumors fly.

Uraraka looked to Toru "Do you think they got in trouble?"

"It could just be something relating to Eri." Toru responded.

Momo joined in "Maybe it's got something to do with how Bakugo treated her this morning."

Kirishima sighed "Why does Bakugo always have to be so stubborn..."

Iida chimed in with a stiff chopping motion "He is the exact opposite of a model student for UA!"

Sato tried to intervene "Wait guys! What if this has nothing to do with Bakugo at all?"

Yuuga smiled "An excellent point, mon amie!"

Jirou grit her teeth at having to hear all the debating over the last 20 minutes.

Mineta giggled "I bet they're taking those two to a courtroom~"

Kaminari raised an eyebrow "Why would they do that?"

Mineta growled "Isn't it obvious! To tie those two together!"

Momo gasped "That can't possibly be it!"

Sero sighed "I mean it's not THAT unbelievable."

Shoji, Tokoyami, Koda and Jirou sat at the kitchen table only for Tsuyu to join them.

Tsuyu sighed "It's pretty crazy today huh? Ribbit".

"That depends" Shoji added "I personally think those three will be fine."

Tokoyami and Koda nodded in agreement while Jirou searched the room, wondering where Bakugo was.

The door to Class 1A's dorms suddenly burst open revealing a stern looking Mr Aizawa. The classroom froze as they noticed his look.

"Where. Is. Bakugo." Aizawa said with venom in his tone.

Denki was the only one brave enough to speak up "uhh... In his room?"

Aizawa nodded and marched to his room while everyone dealt with the chills, they just got from seeing Aizawa that way.

Bakugo just stared at his window until a hard knock came from his door. He didn't even look at the door before saying. "Go away!"

"Open. The door" Aizawa stated.

Bakugo panicked a bit but his stubborn spirit poked through again. "I said go away!"

The door was instantly kicked in by Aizawa at hearing Bakugo's words. "You don't give the orders here" he used his scarf to grab Bakugo who tried his best to escape it.

Aizawa dragged him from his room to the hallway, past the confused students, to the outside and took him all the way to principle Nezu's office before sitting him down.

Bakugo grumbled as he finally bothered to see that Midnight, Vlad King, Thirteen and of course, principal Nezu were all there. "The hell am I doing here..."

Vlad grumbled "Don't try and pretend like you don't know exactly why you're here!"

Midnight pushed her glasses up "You do know that UA looks at all of your previous schools' records, right?"

Thirteen played with her fingers "Usually we overlook some minor stuff, but when we looked into your file a long time ago, we were shocked to see you were referred to as a 'model student'.

Midnight sighed "Sadly, it's not unheard of for schools to see someone with great potential and push them to being heroes so it reflects positively on the school itself. That said, you are far from a model student."

Thirteen spoke up once more "We've let you get away with a lot but the one thing we refuse to let you get away with is-"

"Bullying" Principal Nezu interjected. Everyone turned to him as he stood on his desk walking a bit closer to Bakugo. "Tell me, Mr Bakugo. Why would a hero in training with so much potential, use their quirk to bring harm to others who didn't deserve it." Nezu's calm expression started to really unnerve Bakugo.

Nezu walked right up to Bakugo's chair "Care to know what I think?" Nezu looked into Bakugo's eyes. "You lack conviction."

"Perhaps expelling you is the best choice. What do you think, Mr Bakugo?" Nezu kept replying calmly.

Bakugo would never show it, but he was nervous right now. He wanted to show how determined his will was by standing up to Nezu but that would likely get him expelled. "I... I don't want to be expelled."

Midnight was about to speak until Nezu raised his paw. "Then tell us why you used your quirk on Ms Ashido."

Bakugo grit his teeth. 'Don't say a word, not one word! They wouldn't get it!' "I... I can't"

"Bakugo" Aizawa spoke up, getting his attention. "You're a smart kid. Don't let your ego get the best of you on your journey to be a hero."

Bakugo put his head in his hands and started scratching at his head nervously "Damnit... Fine..."

Everyone suddenly held attention.

Bakugo sighed "Not a damn word of this, leaves this room. Got it?"

Nezu nodded "We promise to keep this all confidential, Mr Bakugo."

His head began pounding. Bakugo was basically about to admit defeat... But it was either that or quit his dream...

"... For the first time since I was four, I feel like I have real friends... And they're total idiots. Kirishima, Kaminari, Sero, Ashido and Jirou... They could have been friends with anyone else, yet they chose me... My old friends... I don't consider them friends ... But my point is. When Deku and Ashido started hanging out. Ashido began to hate me for what I thought was no reason but then... Jirou started to hate me when she overhead a conversation between the two. Once I realized what Deku and Ashido said I was livid..."

Nezu tilted his head "And what did they say?"

Bakugo sighed "... They talked about a time when I destroyed Deku's journal... And told him to jump off the roof of the school."

Thirteen shot up "YOU DID WHAT?!"

Midnight was furious "HOW COULD YOU!"

"ENOUGH!" All the teachers froze and looked to Nezu. He never shouts! "Mr Bakugo... Continue."

Bakugo was startled but continued. "I... I got mad and... I wanted to talk to Ashido but... I'm not good with kind words. I wanted her to tell me to my face what she and Deku talked about... But she refused time and time again. So, I thought... If she wants to comfort him for something I did, he can comfort her in return."

The teachers were furious, based on everything they heard, it sounded like Bakugo really put Deku through the ringer and he was willing to do the same to Mina!

"Mr Bakugo..." Nezu spoke softly. "Based on this information alone, I think it's safe to say you are expelled from U.A."

Bakugo's eyes shut tight, trying to suppress any emotion he had for what he saw as only a matter of time.

"However, I will forgive you and allow you to stay at our school."

Bakugo looked at Nezu in shock. The teachers were stunned. "Now Mr Bakugo, isn't it special... How one person's decision. Can change your life? Who knows what kind of person Mr Midoriya would be if you had shown him kindness instead..."

Nezu went back and sat on his chair. "Speaking of that conviction I talked about earlier. Each teacher will take their time to put you through their own rigorous versions of intense training until Mr Midoriya and Ms Ashido return. Upon their return they will be greeted by you with an apology at the ready. From here on, your bullying will not be tolerated, and you are to visit Hound Dog every Monday, Wednesday and Friday until we see your behavior improve.

Nezu leaned toward Bakugo "And lastly, I'd like you to know this... potential or not, I've no problem removing you from the Hero Course here at U.A.. Do I make myself clear, Mr Bakugo?"

Bakugo stood up and acknowledged Principal Nezu. "Understood, Sir..."

Nezu gave a nod of approval. "Erasure head, you're up." Aizawa nodded and guided Bakugo out of the room.

Midnight finally slammed her hands on her desk. "Principal Nezu, you can't be serious! You're just going to forgive him like that?! After all he's done?! He's practically a villain to the poor boy!"

"Midnight. Are you questioning my methods?" Nezu stated calmly. This silenced Midnight almost instantly. "I saw it when I approached him earlier... Confusion... Sorrow... Regret... Mr Bakugo is not perfect. None of us are. Now keep in mind... I want him to be monitored for the next two days, so train him as you see fit. We resume classes soon so no more holding back. They've had enough rest."

In the UA gym, Bakugo was lifting weights as Aizawa watched.

"... I would have expelled you" Aizawa stated.

"I know..." Bakugo huffed as he kept training.

"You're a sharp student Bakugo. You always were straight to the point; you knew what you wanted and earned it... To say I'm disappointed is an understatement" Aizawa shook his head in disapproval.

"I KNOW ALL RIGHT?!" Bakugo threw the weights to the floor. "DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO GET OVER WHAT I DID?! TO LOOK MY FORMER FRIENDS IN THE EYES AND KNOW THEY HATE ME?! TO SEE EVERYTHING, I'VE EVER WANTED! ALL IVE EVER DREAMED OF GETTING! AND WATCH IT BE PASSED ON TO THE SAME GUY I TOLD TO JUMP OFF A ROOF?! NO! YOU'LL NEVER KNOW! But I'll tell you right now! I HATE THIS! I HATE YOU! I HATE MYSELF! FUCK EVERYTHING!" Bakugo's knees had given out on him as he faceplanted into the floor. 'First Deku gets All Might's quirk, then he gets a girlfriend, stealing one of my friends in the process! and on top of all that, He beat a supervillain! and is being looked at as a hero by that brat!'

At the 1A dorms

Most of the class did what they usually did. Whether it be Iida reading, Kirishima and Kaminari playing video games or Sato baking. It was all fairly normal except for the absence of all the girls. Currently all the girls were in Toru's room, discussing certain things like school, upcoming events and whatnot.

"I will say, I'm a bit excited to go back to class soon. It's been so weird lately" Momo said.

Ochako nodded "Yeah. I wonder what Eri is gonna do though. Maybe Aizawa would watch her?"

Tsuyu croaked "That was my guess, but do you think she'd be too scared?"

Jirou chimed in "Eri is strong. Though she might not look it, she's tough, she believes in her parents and knows they'll be there for her. As far as watching them fight. I think she'll understand that it's training."

All the girls were surprised for a moment before nodding in agreement confidently. Suddenly the construction next to their dorm kicked up.

Toru looked out the window "What do you guys think they're building?"

Jirou smirked "Probably a house for Deku, Mina and Eri."

Tsuyu put a finger to her chin "That would be a good idea. Bakugo-chan can get out of control here."

Uraraka smiled "It's great too because Eri will finally get to live in a house!"

Momo looked nervous "But... Isn't putting two pubescent teenagers in the same house, alone, risky?"

This thought made all the girls blush until Jirou spoke up. "I think it's just to make sure that those two are always there for Eri."

Everyone relaxed at that. Toru suddenly spoke up "Hey Jirou? Do you know anything about this Bakugo situation?"

Jirou froze for a second "... Why?"

Toru shrugged "Well you and him have been getting into it lately. Did anything happen?"

Jirou sighed "No... Nothing happened..."

Meanwhile in training ground Gamma, Aizawa and Bakugo were walking to the heart of the fake city.

"Bakugo... I want you humbled... So, you will confess what you've done to Izuku and Mina to your entire class after that, we will train here. Understood?" Aizawa said sternly. He knew the class was promised an explanation and figured this was the best way to speed things up.

Bakugo's heart was pounding "W-Why?! I ... I don't wanna lose my friends..."

Aizawa sighed "I'd prefer if the whole class was on the same page, I also want you to take their feelings into consideration on this. Plus, if they're really your friends, they'll stay by you, though honestly, I don't think you deserve them. Now stay here while I make a call to bring them here." Aizawa pulled out his phone and called one of the teachers, asking them to bring the students of class 1A.

In about 30 minutes, the whole of class 1A was in the middle of training ground Gamma.

Aizawa raised his voice for all to hear "As we all know, I don't like repeating myself, so I'll say this once. To my understanding, All Might promised you all an explanation about why Midoriya and Ashido currently aren't with us. He's currently watching over them while UA builds a house for their small family of three. However, the reason we wanted them off campus was due to Bakugo laying down his version of law. Bakugo... Tell the truth, if you can't do that, start packing... I'm not as forgiving as Nezu."

The whole class was confused, wondering if this was as serious as it sounded. Bakugo, however, was NOT ready for this. It was all happening so fast and like pulling a pin from a grenade, he was about to burst in mere seconds.

Bakugo was about to put his hands up and aim them at his classmates, but he knew that would only get make things worse.

Bakugo tightened his fists as guilt began to seep through his arrogant facade. "... Deku and I... Have known each other since age four... We hung out... Until Deku came back from the Doc's one day, he told me he didn't have a quirk. They didn't know he wasn't ready for his own quirk yet... And so... I saw him as inferior... the worthless little Deku who would look down on me. He thought I needed his help! I don't need anyone's help! So... I reminded him of his place every day until we got into UA..."

A few classmates had assumed as much but others were still appalled to hear it, nevertheless, Bakugo continued. "I destroyed his notebook..." Bakugo's fists were clenched so tight that he was hurting the palms of his hands "I told him that if he wanted a quirk... To take a swan dive off the roof of our old school and wish for one in the next life."

The class gasped, those who were silent were still shocked.

Iida immediately grew furious "HAVE YOU NO SOUL?!"

Uraraka shivered "Y-You're kidding... Right?"

Todoroki clenched his teeth "You bastard..."

Kirishima wanted to cry. His best bro would never do that! ... Right?

Throughout all the muttering though, Jirou remained silent.

Aizawa gave the class a glare "Quiet!"

After the chatter calmed down. Bakugo continued. "Later on,... He discovered his quirk... And almost as if to spite me, he got into UA and bested me in battle on his first try! ... I would slowly watch as he kept rising past me... Even now... I'm ... struggling to keep up with him... But... in my anger, I started getting... can't believe I'm saying this... I started getting jealous of Deku... Racoo-I mean... Ashido and Jirou used to hang out with me and the guys... once they knew the truth though... they started avoiding me..."

Jirou looked to Bakugo who had pressed his forehead into the concrete in a bow, to say sorry.

Bakugo tried to take deep breaths. "When they started to avoid me... I got mad... I knew! I knew Deku told Mina everything... Honestly, I was surprised he didn't do it to someone earlier. I wanted her to tell me what he said... When she didn't... I exploded her face, thought that if she wants to comfort him for a problem I started... Then deja va right?"

People started looking at Bakugo like he was demented or insane! Why would he do this?!

"I realized soon after... What I did was horrible... But I was too prideful to admit it... Now I'm here, in front of the only people I like and tolerate that aren't my family and I just ask... No... I-I'm begging you... Please... Forgive me... No matter how long it takes."

Bakugo kept his head down for what felt like forever.

Kirishima took a deep breath. "I... I guess I should have figured out what you were doing to him wasn't just a friendly rivalry thing but... that's a lot to take in man."

Momo walked up to him "Do you plan on apologizing to Izuku and Mina later?" Bakugo raised his head, swallowed in fear thinking about it for a moment but quickly nodded yes.

Tsuyu walked up to Bakugo "... Do you promise to change?" Bakugo again, nodded yes.

Kaminari was still thinking about the whole thing "I dunno man... I... I don't know how I feel about this."

Aizawa then stepped forward "Don't worry, you've got time to think. Bakugo will be enduring a two-day long training regimen as punishment. Hopefully he thinks on and reflects upon his action lest more drastic measures be taken place. In the meantime, if any of you feel uncomfortable with Bakugo still being around. I implore you to talk to Nezu about this." The students simply nodded before going back to the dorms.

Bakugo was henceforth trained until nighttime where he was told to be up very early for training with Midnight.

As Bakugo made his way into the Class 1A dorms, every member of his class gave him odd looks.

Kirishima greeted Bakugo "Hey bro! I thought about it and... well. I know Midoriya would forgive you, so I do too." suddenly though, Bakugo's stench had reached Kirishima "Phew, you reek dude. Take it you were training all day?"

Bakugo nodded "Part of the punishment. I'm willing to accept it."

Sero came forth "Let the guy breathe. He's probably exhausted." He said, pulling Kirishima back a bit.

Bakugo was thankful for Sero's intervention as he dismissed the others and went upstairs. As he walked past Deku's room though, he decided to go in and check Deku's room out. It was weird and felt like an invasion of privacy, but he was merely curious.

He saw a photo on Deku's desk. It wasn't super noticeable, but he saw a picture of Him and Izuku as kids next to their moms. Bakugo hardly remembered the times before his quirk manifested but this photo said a lot. He began to wonder if Deku would even forgive him after all he's put him through.

"... That nerd probably forgave me long ago... But still..." Bakugo said with doubt.

Bakugo decided to leave the room as he took a breather from his long day. Stumbling to his own room until he ran into Jirou.

"Oh uh..." Jirou began.

"It's fine it was my fault, sorry." Bakugo interrupted.

Jirou took a breath "Hey... While I've got you here... I just wanted to say, that took guts."

"Yeah? So what. Does that mean all is forgiven?" Asked Bakugo.

Jirou scowled "Hehe, In your dreams."

Bakugo then began to walk away. Trying to pay no attention to her as he clenched and unclenched his fists to try and relieve some anger.

This left Jirou to wonder if she could trust literally anything about him.

He took a quick shower and sat on his bed, sitting in silence and thinking about all that happened today. Needless to say, if he wanted to be a hero, he had to mend things with his class first. Though... He's rapidly losing hope in that plan... Maybe... If Deku vouched for him...

So!... As we all know now... This is a very peaceful story. I wrote it this way because my life is so crazy that I dream of simple situations and solutions like these. But I wanted to ask, would you want more action? Let me know in the comments.

See you guys later!
