Bakugo's POV:

I arrived to our classroom, out of breath as I had ran down the stairs as fast as I could. I pressed my hand against my chest, gasping as I felt my heart thumping. My eyes were swollen up as I used my left hand to rub my eyes again, I don't know why the fuck I came in here, and I'm about to have a panic attack...God, Kiri! Why? Why? What the hell happened on that rooftop!
Steps stopped at the wide opened door, I knew who it was, no need to show him how weak I must look right now. Inhale, exhale. I closed my eyes as I slightly sniffled, coughing immediately after so Shinso wouldn't hear. His voice echoed in my head brutally:

"Bakugo, are you okay?"

Was I okay? My best friend just kissed me without any explanation under the rain like we were in a cheesy TV show. But we're not in F.R.I.E.N.D.S here, this is real life. I panicked, and then eyebaggs came...It had been a great excuse to run away from Kirishima. Damnit, Shitty hair, why did you do this? Could have I noticed it sooner? Fuck!
I didn't respond, instead I nodded and looked for a paper to start writing down so we'd finally start our assignment. I could feel Shinso's eyes pierce right at my back, but we both stood quiet as I sat down at a random table.
Work would take my mind off things...I felt emotionally drained, though. Fucking hell, how could I keep up with this annoying purple haired dumbass if—
It hit me, he had the decency to not make any comments. I guess he's not that much of an asshole after all.

He sat next to me, sighing  as he looked up to the board as Aizawa's topic had been written on it. "Working as a team huh? I have no clue. What about you, Bakugo?" Is this the first time he called me by my surname? Probably, I raised my eyebrows as I brushed my hair away from my eyes to reply to him: "I'm not very experienced ... I usually go solo." Eyebaggs agreed with a nod, a small pout on his lips as he tried to figure out something.
"Maybe that's why we were assigned this. We need to realize working by ourselves can't always have a positive outcome."
A small smirk curved on my lips as I watched him, he looked at me with surprise and I laughed dryly. "Of course it is, dumb dumb. Anyways, I don't know...I guess you can combine quirks."
Shinso picked on each words: "Right, if we were a team you'd provoke our enemies with your big mouth so I'd get to immobilize them with my quirk." He stole a straight laugh out of my mouth.

"My big mouth?"
"Damn right your big mouth."
For a second there, tension grew, but another kind of tension than usual. It wasn't anger...It was something else. I looked by my side as the rain felt against the window. "I guess it's also nice to have a partner you can count on when you're not at your best, right?" It made me think of Kirishima, I usually cooperated with him and he could help me when I unfortunately had to ask him.
Eyebaggs agreed once more, humming satisfyingly as he began to put all our thoughts into words. Well, we of course figured out other features, like out numbering...I don't remember the rest, it wasn't so important.

After a hour of brainstorming and writing, Shinso looked down at the paper. He seemed satisfied, good for him. Now that we were done, I'd have to go back to my dorms and face the consequences of my actions on the rooftop...Poor Shitty Hair, be must be terrible right now.
As we both stood up, Shinso looked at me with a concerned look. He hadn't been acting all cocky this whole hour, it was actually a bit more fun than I thought it would be. And no quirks had been used, which was a great news for us two.
"Bakugo, about earlier..."
I interrupted him, shaking my hand in the air as he began to walk down a dark path: being looked down as weak.
"I don't want your pity, it's okay, I just—" my mouth was muffled by a shoulder shoved against my lips. Shinso was apparently taller than me, and his arms wrapped around me felt so long. Usually I would be: what the fuck is he doing? Back off!
But...I'm so exhausted, and he made me smile the best he could. I owe him a little bit. So, I just let my body sink in through the hug, closing my eyes as I could listen to Shinso's heartbeat. Weird.

He finally backed off, dusting himself as he looked around. "Sorry, I thought you could use one, although I'm not used at giving hugs."
I smiled weakly, yawning and stretching out as I sent a last glance to Shinso. "It felt nice. But bring this moment up tomorrow and I will blow you up, eyebaggs."
With a grin, I left the classroom and gained my dorms as I jumped on my bed, listening at the rain.
