p class="MsoNormal"While the teachers thought that they "Core Four" were asleep, they had instead started a group chat./p

p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal"The boys waited until about 6am, when Shinso dialed up one of his fathers, Aizawa, and asked if they could go to the gym./p
p class="MsoNormal"Shota responded./p
p class="MsoNormal""You and Midoriya may go after breakfast. Take Todoroki with you, but Bakugo has orders to stay until 7:30 this morning."/p
p class="MsoNormal""OK, thanks." Hitoshi replied./p
p class="MsoNormal"He was about to hang up when his father added, "If Katsuki gives you any trouble, send me a message."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Mn." Shinso nodded, before hanging up, officially./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p

p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"em /em/p
p class="MsoNormal"Izuku heard the phone buzz, next door in the other boys' room. Shoto responded./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"emK. -Shoto/em/p
p class="MsoNormal"There was silence. Midoriya and Shinso looked at each other. Quickly they scrambled to their phones again./p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"…annnnnnd strong Lord Expolsion/strong is just OK with this? -ShinMan/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"Oh, no. He's just changing out of his briefs. -Shoto/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center" /p
p class="MsoNormal"Suddenly they heard a door swing open and the unmistakenly aggressive phrase of, "I'm not kicking ass in a diaper!" shouted across the bottom lobby floor./p
p class="MsoNormal" /p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center"There he goes… -Shoto/p
p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;" align="center" /p
p class="MsoNormal"The doors across the halls opened up, and all of the boys jumped out of bed to see what was happening./p
p class="MsoNormal"Bakugo was seething./p
p class="MsoNormal""You think you can keep me in chains, old man?!" He shouted, banging on the door./p
p class="MsoNormal"Eri opened up and rubbed her eyes. "Good morning, Mr. Bakugo."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Katsuki froze and dropped the fist that was still banging precisely where the door hadem been, /emonly a second before. He was thwarted by the sudden energy change of anger to cuteness./p
p class="MsoNormal""Uhhhhh…" He looked back at the three heads popping out of the suite room doorway and threw up his hands before pointing./p
p class="MsoNormal"Izuku tried to wave him back, whispering hoarsely. "Kacchan! KACCHAN! THEY'RE GONNA GET YOU! COMEspan style="mso-spacerun: yes;" /spanB A C K!"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Hitoshi was filming. He was going to replay the video of the inevitable pro-hero throwing down a student in .5 seconds on REPEAT./p
p class="MsoNormal"Bakugo instead turned back around. He looked down at Eri and frowned. "Uh yeah-. Morning, little girl. WHERE're yer dads?" He asked./p
p class="MsoNormal""Welllllll." Eri began, widening the doorway. "Papa's brushing his teeth and Daddy said he's gonna 'kick yer butt if you're not in bed.', but he's getting dressed." She shrugged, leaning on the door handle. She continued. "You can come in, if you want to, but they already know you'd come over and said that I am allowed to shout if you somehow make it past—"/p
p class="MsoNormal""YOUNG BAKUGO!" Came a lively, if not slightly bothered, boom of a voice./p
p class="MsoNormal""Fuck." Katsuki said, rolling his eyes, upwards. He looked down at Eri and pointed, accusingly. "YOU emstalled me?!/em"/p
p class="MsoNormal""Bye-bye." She waved, dropping the heavy door in his face. The roommates across the hall hid, too./p
p class="MsoNormal"Slowly, Bakugo turned to look All Might in the face. Katsuki glanced down to see that Toshinori had brought breakfast./p
p class="MsoNormal""C'mon. Let's get you fed and then you can make the decision." All Might said, pinching the top of Bakugo's ear and dragging the teen towards the suite. He let go of the ear to allow Katsuki some semblance of relief and to open the door. The other boys were huddled around Shinso's phone, laughing, and Hitsohi smartly enough, put it AWAY./p
p class="MsoNormal""Enough." Toshinori sighed. "Sit on the couches. Breakfast is delivered." They sat in a similar arrangement to how they had been, covered in blankets, hours before, as they waited to see if Katsuki had been abducted again. THIS time, they were in higher spirits, though./p
p class="MsoNormal""What decision is Bakugo making?" Shinso asked All Might. The teen was well aware that just that question and phrasing was enough to annoy Katsuki and not enough for Hitsoshi, himself, to be given any warning./p
p class="MsoNormal""It's none of your fucking business." Bakugo clapped back./p
p class="MsoNormal""Stop that." Toshinori warned Katsuki. "Shinso just asked a question."/p
p class="MsoNormal""To annoy me!" Bakugo whined./p
p class="MsoNormal""YOU'RE annoying." Todoroki muttered, rubbing his eyes after failing at trying to pray in peace for his meal. He pulled apart his chopsticks./p
p class="MsoNormal"Katsuki twirled a chopstick and went in for a stabbing motion "I'll stick you in a—"/p
p class="MsoNormal"Shoto blocked it, as All Might warned Bakugo./p
p class="MsoNormal""Stick me in a WHAT?!" Todoroki dared./p
p class="MsoNormal"Midoriya prayed silently for them to knock it the fuck off./p
p class="MsoNormal""A fucking looney bin with YOUR MOM!" Katsuki said, not realizing that the room was now officially against him./p
p class="MsoNormal""Don't talk about other people's mothers! You're being a prick!" Izuku shouted, flicking an air canon at Bakugo's head./p
p class="MsoNormal"It threw the teen back and damaged the wall./p
p class="MsoNormal"Everyone froze./p
p class="MsoNormal"Midoriya broke the silence, immediately, leaping over the coffee table and going to see if Katsuki was alright. All Might reached for the door. Bakugo was dazed for a SECOND, allowing Yagi to call for another teacher./p
p class="MsoNormal""ERASER!" He bellowed, while pulling Izuku out of Bakugo's fist range, dropping the door, and seizing Katsuki's wrist./p
p class="MsoNormal"Aizawa appeared and calmly summoned for Hitsohi to come out./p
p class="MsoNormal""Shin. Bring your food. C'mon. Go find Papa."/p
p class="MsoNormal"All Might sent Izuku to the hallway, and Shoto to his room to cool down. Bakugo had his wrist seized and tried to free it, only to get pulled off balance and yanked over to the doorway./p
p class="MsoNormal"Now Todoroki and Hitoshi were separated, and Midoriya, in trouble for using his quirk in anger, was waiting in the hallway with Bakugo, who felt 'fine', but was getting disciplined for coming out of his room and: straight-up disrespectful behavior./p
p class="MsoNormal"Eraserhead looked back over his shoulder at Present Mic. "His pupil function is normal. No bumps on the back of his scalp, and he's not confused."/p
p class="MsoNormal""I'm gonna murder you!" Katsuki yelled at Midoriya./p
p class="MsoNormal""No personality changes." Mic noted, nodding. "Yeah, he's definitely okay. He just has quite the noggin, I guess. It was a sizable hole. I saw it happen on the cameras."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Then why'd you take so long for backup?" Shota asked./p
p class="MsoNormal""Shin was being a shit to instigate this whole thing, so he got a talking-to. He's going to his room after breakfast."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Serves him emright/em." Katsuki muttered, having heard the entirety of the matter. The husbands ignored the boy./p
p class="MsoNormal""Take him to your office. I'll discipline Izuku in mine. Shin and Shoto can be watched by Mic." Aizawa ordered to All Might./p
p class="MsoNormal"Tohinori looked hesitant. "His appointment was cancelled last night- you still taking him tomorrow?" All Might asked./p
p class="MsoNormal""Yes." Aizawa responded, unlocking the door with his keycard. "Don't you THINK about running- either of you. Now, go."/p
p class="MsoNormal"Bakugo followed All Might beside Midoriya and they were trailed by Aizawa./p
p class="MsoNormal"Izuku skipped up a step to Katsuki. "Um. Kacchan- is your head okay? I'm really sorry."/p
p class="MsoNormal""Yeah. It's fine. It's whatever." Bakugo grumbled./p
p class="MsoNormal"Sooner than the boys would like, they split down the hallways with their respective teacher and got ready for their punishment./p
