No Strings Attached

Kye's Plan

"I mean, it would be a lot of work to do that on top of drawing too. It would keep me busy, so I suppose I could think about it over the weekend." Midoriya replied with a simple shrug. The thought of it made his anxiety sky rocket even higher, if that was possible. He had to think about it more when his anxiety wasn't so high.

"I also heard you were going to be doing some tours this weekend." Kye said with a small smile.

"Yeah, I'm going with Kirishima, Kaminari and Kaachan." Midoriya said with a small smile. Kye had to do a double take to make sure that was really a smile.

"I hope you have fun and find a school you can envision yourself at." Kye said as he opened the notebook in his hands.

"Thanks.."

"Let's get into this notebook." Kye said with a satisfied smile. He wasn't expecting Midoriya to say yes right off the bat, but he was happy he was considering it. "So Monday after our session, you ended up writing filling the page out. I remember that was a rough day for you, you didn't even make it to your classes." Midoriya didn't answer as he scanned the page. "You hung out with Bakugo after our session? You also rated your depression at a seven and your anxiety an eight. What happened that changed your mood so much you felt that it outweighed how you felt the rest of the day?" He questioned as he looked up to Midoriya once more.

"N-nothing." Midoriya replied as he hid his face with his hands. He said he would be honest in these sessions, but he couldn't tell him about that. Kye however thought he was being very suspicious, but chose to ignore it for the moment as he turned to the next page.

"Yesterday you hung out with the whole class. You watched a movie and ate pizza." To anyone else, that would seem like normal stuff. However to Midoriya, it was world changing. Simple stuff like that did truly scare him. "Your depression was a four and your anxiety was a six." Kye said with an impressed tone. That was the lowest number he had seen by far. "Did you have fun hanging out with your class?" He questioned as he slowly turned to the next page.

"Yes." Midoriya replied quietly. "It was the most relaxed I have felt in a long time." He said as he looked to the ground, embarrassed to admit it.

"And yesterday, you helped Todoroki with a new drawing technique." He stated simply as he looked over the page. "Your depression was a 10 and your anxiety was an eight." Kye said with slight shock as he looked to Midoriya.

"Yeah.. It was a dark day in my head." He replied quietly. Kye slowly began turning back page after page. He truly thought it was Todoroki that was helping Midoriya with his depression, but he was so wrong. Being around anyone he was comfortable with helped his anxiety, but there was only one person that really helped his depression. Katsuki Bakugo. Everytime his name was on the page, Midoriya's depression was at a lower number. Kye had been barking up the wrong tree the entire time.

"Are you okay if we end our session a little early today?" Kye asked suddenly as he slammed his notebook shut.

"S-sure." Midoriya replied hesitantly after Kye's demeanor had changed drastically.

"I'll see you on Monday. If you need to talk over your weekend, feel free to call me." Kye said as he handed the notebook back to Midoriya. He watched his patient gather his things before leaving the room with a confused expression. As soon as he shut the door behind him, Kye pulled out his phone. He quickly punched in a number before bringing the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" A tired voice echo'd through the phone.

"Hello Aizawa. Can you do me a favor?" Kye questioned with a smirk.

"Depends on what it is." The art teacher replied.

"Can you discreetly send me a student?" Kye questioned.

"Now?"

"It would be appreciated." He replied with a smile that Aizawa couldn't see.

"Is someone in trouble?" Aizawa asked in return.

"No, I just need to talk to him." Kye replied.

"Alright, who?" He questioned with a groan as shuffling could be heard on the other end.

"Katsuki Bakugo."

"Why the hell am I here?" The fiery blonde questioned as Aizawa practically shoved him into the room.

"Ask him." He replied as he pointed towards Kye before shutting the door.

"Why the hell am I here?" The blonde spat once more towards the school therapist.

"Have a seat please." Kye said with a soft smile. The blonde stared at him in shock for a moment. Who the hell was he to pull Bakugo in here for no reason? The blonde reluctantly took a seat where his childhood best friend was sitting only a few minutes ago.

"I'm Kye Sugoki, but you can just call me Kye." He said with a small smile.

"Katsuki Bakugo." The blonde muttered in reply as he clenched his fists. He had tried therapy a while ago and it didn't really work out. He sat there, still unsure of why he was even there.

"So a friend of yours is a patient of mine and I just wanted a chance to meet you." Kye explained as he grabbed a new file for the fiery blonde. Bakugo questioned which one of his friends needed therapy before it dawned on him. So this is where Deku comes? He questioned to himself as he stared Kye down across the room.

"Why did you want to meet me?" He asked as he folded his hands in his lap. He truly wasn't happy that he was ripped from his packing to be here.

"I just wanted to know more about you." He replied with a simple shrug as he began writing in his new file. "So tell me a little bit about yourself."

"Like what?" The blonde scoffed. What could he possibly need to know? His favorite color and his hopes and dreams?

"You're hoping to get into UAE for your music, correct?" Kye questioned as he recalled that from memory.

"Why are you asking me if you already know the answer?" Bakugo spat in annoyance. He hated therapy. He hated that somebody sat down and tried to read you like an open book while you were telling them your deepest, darkest secrets.

"Just wanted to make sure I had the right information." Kye replied with a soft smile. Katsuki Bakugo was a spit fire, but he didn't really think that was a bad thing. He had obviously wormed his way into Midoriya's daily life, and it seemed to really he helping.

"Yeah, music." Bakugo replied as he ran his hand through his sloppy hair.

"I also heard you and some friends are doing some campus tours this weekend." Kye informed.

"Yeah, what about it?" The blonde spat.

"I was just curious is all. You're leaving tomorrow after classes?" He questioned.

"No. I got permission to skip my classes. I was thinking about leaving tonight." Bakugo replied as he looked to the ground.

"Don't you think that would he a lonely drive?" Kye questioned with a sad smile. The blonde however, knew what he was up to. He closed his eyes and debated for a second. He was trying to distance himself from Midoriya since recent feelings have began to submerge, but there really was no use in it. If bringing the nerd along would make him feel better, he would do so happily.

"I'll take Midoriya with me." The blonde said with a defeated sigh as he stood from his seat.

"I think that would he a splendid idea." The therapist replied with a wide smile as he slammed the blondes file shut. "Also, his birthday is Saturday." He reminded.

"I know his fucking birthday." Bakugo spat back as he made his way to the door.

"Have a safe weekend." Kye said as he watched the blonde storm out of the room. Kye let off a satisfied smile as he looked to the ceiling, watching the fan spin in a circle. "They couldn't be more different, but maybe that's what Midoriya needs in life right now.. someone who will give him a push that nobody else can." He mumbled to himself as he slid Bakugo's file next to Midoriya's with a satisfied hum.
