Trauma.
Something everyone should understand, and may even be a person's profession to help people cope with.
Unfortunately there are those who live with it, and suffer because of it.
While it can be helped; It must be taken seriously. And in unfortunate cases, it isn't.
One of those cases, being Katsuki Bakugou's.
———————
The young blonde, hands buried in his pockets, one flipping his phone in circles and the other twitching from time to time, sat in silence on the couch, two people sitting beside him. Sero, and Mina. The others sat across from them, coffee table separating them. Katsuki had tuned out of the game by now, and let his head hang back, letting his thoughts consume him.
"Bak..."
"Bakug...!"
"Bakugou!"
He looked up, raising an eyebrow. "What, dunce face." He snapped, glaring at the other.
"Truth or dare?" The blonde looked confused at first, then realized that he'd forgotten why he was even here. He'd been forced into truth or dare. He sighed, and rolled his eyes.
"I'm not a pussy, idiot. Dare." He stared at the other, as if daring him to do something stupid himself.
"Go sit into the closet for fifteen minutes. Most of us have already done that, we wanna see you do it." Katsuki only gave a questioning look, but sighed, got up, and walked to the closet across the room. He opened the door, shoved some things out of the way, and plopped onto the ground.
"'S not that—" SLAM "Oi- Oi! What the hell?!" The blonde jumped to his feet, hitting the door.
"Door closed, in the dark, duh Bakugou!" Mina yelled back, snickering.
Katsuki nodded to himself, and sat back down. Whatever. It was only fifteen minutes. In a cramped closet. In the dark. Where he couldn't see a thing.
He was only about five minutes in when panic started to consume him. He stood up, his legs shaking slightly as he knocked on the door, calling to the others, "Guys..?" Giggling. "Guys- fuck-" he sighed and shook his head. "Let me out already- this is a waste of time." More giggles. "Oi! Let me out! L-let me out of here!" Laughing. "GUYS! LET ME OUT-" he whimpered softly. "OPEN UP-!" The laughter seemed louder, closer. And he tried to yell, but found himself unable to speak. His mouth was covered, but by what he wasn't sure. He could feel the tears stream down his face as he pulled against whatever had him, screaming into it desperately.
He could see a light in the dark; and then eyes. Deep, red, gentle eyes. Something about them grounded him, and after another hard pull, he found himself on the ground.
Light stung his eyes, and he sat up, groaning. He rubbed his eyes, his vision clearing and in front of him were those eyes. Though this time paired with who they belonged to. Kirishima. The others stood behind him, looking at him worriedly while the redhead held his hands to the other's cheeks. It was only then that Bakugou realized that he was still crying. He took a long breath, before he shuddered, then let out a sob, leaning into Kirishima.
Eijirou's expression softened, and he hugged the blonde gently, kissing the top of his head softly. "You're okay.. You're safe.. It'll be okay.." He shook his head at Mina, who had let a small, excited smile slip onto her face, and glared at the other's rather protectively. "Get outta here." He snapped, his eyes narrow, and slightly hurt. He watched them scurry off to their rooms before lifting the blonde off the ground, cradling him in his arms and carrying him to his room.
He layed the blonde down, sitting next to him. He rubbed his back gently, occasionally murmuring, "you're okay" and "I'm right here" After a good hour of this, the blonde rolled over, looking at him hesitantly.
"What is it..?" Eijirou asked softly. Katsuki sat up slowly, scooting closer to him and holding onto him. "Hey, hey... it's okay—" He sighed, and looked at the other, frowning. "I'm so, so, sorry Katsu..I should have been down there- I didn't know they'd do that to you.." He sighed, gazing at the other, admiring him for a moment. "I love you, so much. And I'm sorry." He whispered, and leaned down, kissing him softly.
Katsuki hugged Kirishima tightly. This was what he needed.
Stability.

Okay so- if it didn't make sense to you, Bakubaby had a panic attack during the game.
