Bakugo groaned as he slowly opened his eyes, only to squeeze them shut once more when the sunlight intensified his headache. He sat up slowly before opening his eyes just enough to see his surroundings. Unfazed by the fact he woke up in a different room and next to a different person, he pushed himself from the bed slowly. He looked around the floor, quickly locating his clothes. He slipped his shirt on before his boxers and jeans, double-checking that his phone and earbuds were still in his pocket. Without caring to look back at whatever extra was laying in the bed, he quietly opened the bedroom door and stepped into the hallway.

The smell of alcohol drifted through the air, filling his nostrils. He made his way down the hallway, internally laughing at the retro blue and green wallpaper as he walked into the main part of the house. The kitchen was filled with empty and crushed beer cans while the living room was littered with red solo cups and passed out people who were trying to sleep away their hangover. Bakugo didn't spare anyone a glance as he walked to the fridge, ripping it open and grabbing a bottle of water. He's been hanging out in the 'Party House' since his ex had gotten on a flight and went across the world. It quickly became his second home. He wanted to go back to his real home, but he didn't know where it was anymore.

With a heavy sigh, he grabbed the bottle of painkillers from the top of the fridge and swallowed a few before chasing them down his throat with the bottle of water. He walked to the front door and slipped his shoes on. He looked back to the house with a heavy sigh. He knew he was going to miss this place, but he still had a commitment. He had band rehearsal today and he needed to be there for Kirishima and Kaminari. After all, it wasn't their fault that he gave the love of his life an impossible ultimatum. He began walking back to his dorms to get ready as his ex floated through his mind.

He knew he messed up by trying to force him to make that choice. If he could go back and undo it, he would. He told him to go, encouraged him and then tried to rip it away. He knew it was everyone's dream, but he just couldn't handle the thought that he was going with Shinso of all people. Now instead of being here with him, he drove him away. He broke both of their hearts and sent him to the arms of the man he wanted him to avoid so bad. He shook his head as he grabbed his blue tooth earbuds from his case and connected them to his phone. He scrolled through his recent song album until he found the duet he had just finished and submitted with the green haired man a couple of days ago. He wanted to walk around and be in his feels for a little while, sue him.

By time the song had ended, he stood in front of the door to his dorm building. He hadn't talked to any of his friends since he left and he wasn't looking forward to doing so. He knew they were going to ask questions and try and cheer him up, but he didn't want them too. He thought he deserved the pain for what he had done. He had made the biggest mistake of his life and this was his consequence. With a heavy sigh, he slowly walked into the building. As soon as he stepped inside, he could hear his friends talking in the common room. He internally groaned as he took a deep breath, not ready to face them. He slowly made his way to the common room, pausing before revealing himself completely. He heard them say his ex's name and he wanted to know what they were talking about, but he didn't want to ask and make himself sound interested.

"I'm just worried I guess.. he was drinking whiskey at like six in the morning before having to do a twenty hour drive." Kirishima said with a frown. "He even snapped at Midnight guys.. that's not the Midoriya we know."
