Chapter 41

"What a dork." You mutter to yourself whilst chuckling and begin to make your way over to your classroom.

You stop at the doors and open it a crack to take a peak. And low and behold Bakugou is sitting improperly in his seat as he stares out the window whilst resting his head on his hand.

'Aw, he actually looks quite peaceful.' You thought as you stared at his unusual state.

In a heartbeat, you decide to break that state and raise your hand in a gun-like shape to squirt water pellets at Bakugou's head by using the tip of your finger.

"Pew, pew, pew." You cutely make firing sounds.

You giggle as you fire the little water droplets at Bakugou and watch as he gracefully snaps out of his calm composure.

"What the hell?!" He jumps out of his chair and scans the room until his eyes land on you. Surprisingly, he seems to calm down and slumps back into his chair.

"Oh it's you, finally decided to wake up huh?" He asked whist he tutted.

You scrunch you're eyebrows with a smile and make your way to your seat.

"So." You sit.

"So." He swivels round in his chair and sits on it in the opposite direction to face you.

"We won." You stated with a blank expression.

"Hell yeah we did, we beat his ass!" He says with a pumped-up tone before clearing his throat and going back to his gruff voice.

"Yes, we did." He spoke again as if it wasn't a big deal.

"So during the exam, I kinda let something about myself...slip out." You said averting your eyes from him. He grunted in affirmation so you continued.

"Well. I'm sure there's stuff that you'd like to ask me, sorry for inconveniencing you with my problems by the way." You say whilst staring out the window not wanting to meet his eyes.

"Eh? Why the fuck are you apologising? If anything I-" He cuts himself off with an irritated look on his face.

"Ok so I can ask whatever I want and you'll answer?" He asked making sure you were prepared to reveal this side of your life.

You took a deep breath and nodded.

"Ask away."

You fanned your eyes to stop tears from spilling.

"Aha, sorry I tend to get emotional when talking about stuff to do with my parents." You said with a sheepish smile.

"How can you even call them your parents?" Bakugou almost whispered to you.

After hearing mostly everything that has happened to you in the past, from the questions that he asked, he seemed to still be trying to process it all. Not like you could blame him, it was a lot to take in.

"Well, they are the only parents I have." You jokingly replied back.

He ignored your response and began to ask some questions relating to the present.

"So who are you living with now?" He asks looking curious although slightly concerned of you really examined his features carefully.

"Aizawa-sensei." You respond feeling the tension disperse gradually as you are brought to a lighter topic.

He slowly nods his head in approval but seems to be focused on something else.

"Something else you wanna ask? This is the only time you're gonna be able to before all the others come in." You joke lightly but still feel a bit anxious upon what was going through his mind.
