Secrets

The Bus Ride

"Let's play a game!" Ashido yelled from her seat with excitement.

"Ribbit? What came can we play on a moving bus?" Tsu asked from across the isle.

"Hmm, we could play two truths and one lie!" She exclaimed.

"That sounds like fun!" Uraraka cheered.

"Yayy!" Ashido squealed. "I'll go first!" She exclaimed while trying to think of her truths and a lie. "One, I'm an only child. Two-" Ashido's game was interrupted by the sound of every students cell phone ringing at the same time. Everyone looked around the bus in confusion while pulling out their phones. Bakugo joined the class and pulled out his phone.

It was a brand new group chat with the whole class. There was a single message in the chat from an unknown number. It was a link with the text; watch who you chose to trust, I didn't and I regret it. Bakugo groaned and clicked the link as he got a bad feeling in his stomach, a really bad feeling. He heard a bunch of gasps from the bus as the link opened. It was a picture of him and Tanaka, kissing. He stared at the photo, not sure what to do. His stomach was screaming, his heart was crying, and his blood was boiling.

"Bakugo?" Kirishima questioned in surprise. Bakugo groaned as he put his phone down. Only a select few knew about the previous relationship, so he was worried for his friend.

"So much for telling us all your secrets." Yaoyorozu mumbled in the seat behind him.

"I thought you told us all of your secrets?" Ashido asked aloud.

"I never said I told you all of them." Bakugo replied loud enough for the bus to hear.

"This is a pretty big secret to not tell us!" Ashido yelled. Bakugo let out a sigh of frustration as he stood up, gathering everyone's attention.

"I didn't say anything because I didn't want to relive my days with the psycho." He said to the class.

"So you guys actually dated?" Uraraka questioned with concern. Bakugo looked around the bus to see many different facial expressions. Some confused, some shocked and some concerned.

"Yes." Bakugo sighed, shocking many students that he actually answered.

"Can you tell us about it? What happened?" Ashido asked nervously.

"Why should I?" Bakugo spat.

"Because it will help us understand the situation better." Yaoyorozu replied while looking up to Bakugo with sad eyes.

"Yeah, we don't know anything about you guys." Mineta pipped in. "The only thing we know if she black mailed you into doing stuff." He said with a bored expression. Bakugo looked at his class. Maybe they were right. Maybe he should tell them what he had told his friends. They deserved to know the dangers she pressed.

"Nerd, help me out." Bakugo spat towards Midoriya. Midoriya widened his eyes in shock as he stood up. The class had the same expression. Nobody expected Bakugo to actually share.

"Tanaka and I dated for about five months." Bakugo started. "The first three months were okay." He said with a sad sigh. "Akio transferred to our school, and that is when things went down hill. She befriended him and became a completely different person."

"So, she wasn't always mean?" Uraraka asked.

"No. She wasn't." Bakugo spat, not happy about being interrupted. "Akio introduced her to all the things she could do with her quirk. She became drunk on power as she demanded everyone to do things." Bakugo explained.

"She even got me to do things I'm not proud of." He said with a frown. "I hated the person she had become, so I dumped her." He spat curtly. "She didn't take that too well." He said with a sigh. "She became even worse. She black mailed me and put me through hell for a week before she put me in the hospital." The class gasped in surprise and concern. Bakugo frowned before taking off his shirt. The class became confused by his actions.

"A lot of you guys have asked me about this scar." Bakugo said while tracing the scar above his heart. "It was from her. She came to my house one day and literally tried to cut my heart out."

"Why would she do something like that?" Iida asked with shock.

"Something about me breaking her heart, so she was going to take mine." Bakugo mumbled while putting his shirt back on. "It landed me in the hospital for three fucking days." He spat before turning to Midoriya. "You turn." He said harshly. Midoriya gulped while looking to the class.

"When Kaachan was in the hospital, she came to me." He said with a frown. "She asked me out." The class stared at him dumbfounded and speechless. "After seeing what she did to Kaachan, I obviously said no." He said with a nervous chuckle. "She decided that she was done with me too at that point." Midoriya took a deep breath, not quite ready to explain the next part.

"She poisoned me and put me in the hospital for three weeks." Midoriya said while looking to the ground, tears threatening to escape his eyes. "I was on life support the entire time." Midoriya chocked as the tears fell down his face.

"When he was in the hospital, I ended up going back for a week." Bakugo said taking over after seeing how distraught his boyfriend was. "I won't be telling you what happened with that one, so don't ask." The blonde spat. "When I got out, we went through that hell for two more months before we had enough evidence to get her expelled and pressed charges." Bakugo explained.

"She really is psycho." Ashido said sadly.

"Tell me about it." Bakugo groaned.

"And she came back for revenge?" Hagakure questioned.

"Yes." He spat. "Obviously that text was her saying that this isn't over yet. She isn't even here and she is trying to pin everyone against me."

"We won't let that happen bro! We trust you way more than we trust her." Kaminari yelled with enthusiasm. Everyone shook their head and cheered, agreeing with the blonde. Bakugo scoffed while looking to the ground. Inside, he was happy they chose to believe him over her. It made him stronger knowing he had things worth fighting for.

"Any more secrets you wish to share while you have our attention?" Jiro asked with a smirk. Bakugo glanced nervously at his close friends before looking to his boyfriend. When his red eyes met green, he got a sudden burst of confidence. He took a deep breath before turning back to the rest of the class.

"I love dogs, my favorite color is orange, I helped design most of your hero costumes, I actually had fun when everyone crashed my vacation, I actually enjoy our stupid game nights, I miss living in the dorms, I don't hate you guys, I tolerate you. I play the guitar, drums, I sing and someone punch Pikachu for me, I'm gay." Bakugo said with one breath. The class stared at the blonde speechless. Nobody was expecting him to pour his heart like that. Hell, Bakugo wasn't even expecting to pour his heart out like that.

"And before anyone makes a joke, no Tanaka did not scare me into being gay. If anyone does make a joke about it, you'll get punched." Bakugo spat towards the wide eyed class. "Now, can we all shut up and enjoy the rest of this ride in peace?" Bakugo asked while taking his seat once more. The class sat in in awkward silence before Kaminari yelled.

"Ouch! What the hell Sero?"

"Sorry, Bakugo asked." Sero replied earning himself a bus full of laughter.

"Well, a-at least w-we know we d-didn't dream t-that." Ashido chocked out in between her laughing. Bakugo casted a look to his boyfriend. Midoriya's smile grew as their eyes connected. Bakugo leaned his head back while shutting his eyes. A small smile grew on his face as his chest felt lighter.
