"UA has... Dorms?" You blinked.
"Apparently," Bakugou grumbled. You didn't want to be rude and stepped off to the side to allow your boyfriend within your home. Bakugou followed after your lead and shrugged off his boots just to throw himself atop the much neglected couch compared to the recliner across the way whose cushioned seat were sunken and faded. Bakugou'e feet soon made themselves comfortable atop the coffee table and hands to comfort his bush of blonde. Even before the kidnapping, Bakugou is known to get comfortable within your home with or without an invitation. Not like you mind, he's always welcome in your eyes. But apparently today Bakugou has an earful of information to deliver.
"I'm assuming Aizawa hasn't told you a thing has he?" Bakugou assumed correctly. Of course you had no clue that UA has dorms on campus.
You frowned, "not a thing." You answered all the while taking a seat upon Aizawa's recliner chair just to stand back up immediately. You knew the cushioned seat was worn out visually, but you could feel the springs push up against your behind roughly as if no cushion remained. How could that man find that thing comfortable enough to sleep? Well... Then again if you're tired enough you'll sleep anywhere, heck you've fallen asleep standing up before.
"Get over here, " Bakugou pats the seat next to himself after realizing your poor choice in seating. You couldn't get anymore thankful that he had practically read your mind and sat down as instructed.
Bakugou's orbs of crimson locked on your form and hadn't faltered. You've noticed he's been doing this an awful lot lately ever since you're conciousness came back from being Ark for who knows how long. Bakugou claims you were mentally gone for two months, yeah, more it felt like an eternity! And so you rested your head upon Bakugou's shoulder, snuggling into his side. For some reason he's so calm around yourself in particular, it's almost sweet how he let's you do whatever you want without backlash... Most of the time. When alone, he's sweet like candy, with others he's a ticking time bomb.
"So... How'd you learn about the school dorms?" You hummed. "I've been left out of the loop alot lately with all of my counsellor visits and... Stuff," stuff being Aizawa's usual nagging about school and how many meetings and court cases he's been dragged into lately. You block him out half of the time cause who wants to listen to that for hours on end?
"All Might and Aizawa were just literally at my house saying that because our asses got kidnapped the school needs to live in dorms. Apparently everything is our damn faults..." Bakugou rubbed the side of his head with a hiss thereafter. "My mom beat my ass in front of them too... Stupid Bitch."
"I haven't even seen let alone talked to Toshi once since our rescue..." You couldn't help but to bring that point into the light. You've called him, even begged Aizawa to set up a time to see Toshinori but they're both too busy to do anything with or for you in particular. It brings back sour memories, memories you never wanted to revisit.
Your silence stained the atmosphere, Bakugou read your troubles with ease. "All Might looks like shit right now! Honestly I'm surprised he's even able to walk around," a wish to settle your nerves backfired.
"That bad?"
"Yeah..." Bakugou grumbled before holding his right arm out before himself. "Said it himself that he's always in pain and it'll take a miracle for him to be able to use his arm again," you gasped leaving the room for a moment to let everything sit in. Once again, you're probably blaming yourself for All Might's bitter yet honorable end to more than a few decades of hero work, Bakugou understood perfectly, he's blaming himself a little bit as well. You got kidnapped first, then kidnapped Bakugou, resulting in All Might's end. You're suffering more and he knew it well.
Wasn't before long that you came stumbling back within the room in a sniffling mess and glossy eyes. "You done?" Bakugou glared at you. You nodded and sat back down beside him. "Aizawa told me he had to deal with Shitty Hair and a few more extras before he'd come home to tell you well... Everything I just did-"
"Of course," you huffed throwing your head back.
"Oh what now bitch?" The blonde growled. "I'm tired of your moody ass. I thought I got (Y/n) back but no! I still have Ark-"
You threw yourself at Bakugou, pinning him down to the couch. "Don't compare me to Ark again!" You seethed in anger and made sure to liquify your hands to his wrists.
Bakugou had the strength to fight back but it's not like thrashing around would help in this situation. "Then what's your damn problem!?" He grits his teeth.
"Ever since I came back Aizawa has been nothing but a teacher to me! All I want right now is comfort! I'm hurting so bad right now and he hasn't even bothered to comfort me at all and always up my ass about school and-"
"Because he's got himself stuck in the same hole you're in (Y/n)!" You gasped, giving Bakugou the opening he needed. He used all his strength to throw you off him, just to pin you onto the floor the same way you did him. Well... Sort of, you're still 'welded' to his wrists. "You said it yourself, you killed people while you were Ark! Aizawa's been working to keep you out of prison let alone in school. You can't say he's NOT there for you! Now shape the fuck up the world doesn't revolve around you!!!" If Bakugou could punch let alone slap some sense into you right now, he would in a heartbeat. He doesn't play by the gender rules and if a girl deserves to get hit he'll gladly oblige.
Click, went the front door. "I couldn't have said that any better," you gasped once again in a struggle to see Aizawa from beneath Bakugou's hold. The man was dressed in a suit and tie, his hair trimmed and combed back. He looked ten years younger with his face freshly shaved... You disliked Professional-Zawa. "Until we get you caught up with the school you missed (Y/n), you cannot return to UA. That means I cannot be your guardian anymore since I have to live on school property with the rest of your class," Aizawa knelt down to match your level, although he was still looking down on you. "Either go to school or go to prison... Your choice. What am I saying?" He shook his head. "You don't get a choice here."
"School please," you whimpered, completely giving up on the fight for dominance against Bakugou.
"Now get off her Bakugou," Aizawa instructed. He didn't mind at all how exactly Bakugou ended up pinning you to the ground, Aizawa just knows nothing sexual happened and that's good enough for him.
Bakugou tried to get up, but yeah, you're still stuck together. "Release me (Y/n)..." Bakugou hissed into your face. You followed his order. "If she attacks me again I won't hesitate," Bakugou stood up with reluctance, as did yourself. It was like a game of follow the leader.
"And is she attacking you? I don't think so," Aizawa shook out his hair, letting his hair of uniform go back to it's normal disarray just how everyone liked it. "As much as I'd like to give you the welcome wagon, the next semester is right around the corner and time is running out."
"I'm aware now..." You rubbed your bruising wrists. "I'm sorry for thinking so selfishly and all..."
"Your behavior was well understood," and thus you were forgiven just like that. "Now do you have your hero name yet?" Aizawa held out a turquoise folder he's had wedged beneath his arm. It had your name printed in bold letters across the cover. "Your next hero costume is in there. All you got to do is choose one."
"Ark the Iron Fist," you opened the folder without a thought. "Wait! Why a new costume? I have a costume," You huffed. You were wearing Zack's brown jacket right now actually.
"And you got mad at me for calling you Ark..." Bakugou commented on your choice in names.
"It's in the past, it's in the past!!!" You pushed to change the subject.
"Your first costume doesn't fit your new quirk," Aizawa held up his index finger, then his middle. "Toshinori told me you changed costumes again during your internships and we all know what happened after that-"
"I got kidnapped now can we please stop revisiting the past!!!"
Aizawa held up his ring finger, "lastly your villain costume as Ark is a clear no-no."
"Yeah yeah I'll choose another one," only to open up the folder to three costume designs you're assumed to hate since this decision is out of your control. "You want me to look like a hero yet they're all black and white. And what's up with this one!? It looks like a ninja! I'm no ninja!" Its practically the same outfit you wore during the attack in the mountains except more white! Knee high boots, black leggings and a black skirt, those remained the same. Now your top half has a white scarf instead of red and a black long sleeve shirt with an armoured white vest. It even has the same mask you wore then...
"Atleast it looks more heroic than your Ark costume," Bakugou comments. "Still hate it though... I hate everything related to that bastard."
"It was still me!" You punched him. "But Fine, what do you think about this one then?" You held up the second of three designs. It was a really flowy costume of a deep grey and white blouse. It had a sheer grey lace cape that doubled as a shawl based on the picture provided. If It had any special functions was a lost cause. The directions and side notes weren't in your native language and had arrows pointing all over the place.
"What is this? Red Riding Hood meets Tim Burton?" Bakugou threw the design back in distaste. Both Aizawa and yourself were laughing. But hey, Aizawa never said these designs were good.
"Fine then there's one last design... I'm not even gonna look at it just tell me your thoughts," you just handed the entire folder to Bakugou. At this point, you were just gonna let him decide the new costume since nothing was lighting your rocket and you visually hadn't a problem with any of them.
A moment had passed and well, Bakugou hadn't said anything insulting for a change. You leaned over, peering into the folder with your head rested against Bakugou's shoulder. "What's up Bakugou? Is it a good design?" And there sat the final design, it was gender neutral and almost entirely white minus the near black boots and belts that lined the white form fitting suit from head to toe. Stylish yet not too over the top.
Yes the new costume is Levi's cleaning outfit... Within reason. The Reader will gain a new gadget in future chapters that honestly matches this costume.
"You better wear this one," Bakugou handed the folder back to you. "Now get your ass caught up!!! I didn't risk my ass for you just to say goodbye!"
"I'm getting caught up don't worry!!!" You paused, shifting your attention to Aizawa. "Just what exactly do I need to do to get caught up?"
"A written and physical exam," he groggily answered behind a yawn. "You were supposed to take the exam with Midoriya but Bakugou got thrown under the bus thanks to that."
"Oh God I'm sorry Bakugou! That must've been torture..."
"I was used as a human weapon!" He snapped. "All Might used MY body to beat the shit out of Deku! Imagine being used as a human baseball bat!!!"
"Again... Sorry," at this point you had no words. You royally screwed things over. However, trying to imagine Bakugou as a human baseball bat got you rolling.
Afterwards, that same day you took your written exam and passed with a... Fair score. Nothing to gloat over yet it wasn't anything to be upset about. The physical exam came the following Monday and since everyone in the class got a partner, Aizawa openly asked everyone in the class who would like to retake the exam for a better score. Sero and Kirishima stepped forward since they were one of few who failed the exam. Although the rules state only teams of two, Aizawa agreed to bend rules if the three of you were alright with taking on two Pro Heroes instead of one, in which the three of you agreed. In the end you and your partners were paired up to fight Present Mic and Aizawa since the other Pros weren't free at the time and came out with flying colors!
Now you were caught up with school, and the date of moving into the dorms came sooner than expected. The very next day actually. No wonder why Aizawa was pushing to get you caught up from last semester.
"Bakugou! (Y/n)!" The class, as expected, were smothering the both of you in hugs and welcome backs. Those who've seen the two of you before today: Todoroki, Momo, Kirishima, Iida, Midoriya, and Sero all kept off to the side since they're sure you're getting annoyed with all the welcome back hugs. Plus, any second now Bakugou is bound to get unchained from your soothing hold and murder someone...
"Get off me ya bastards!!!" There was a sudden shift, the group hug wasn't as tight as it was just a second ago. Turns out, you're somehow no longer roped up in this web of kids anymore. Peering past the sea of heads, you're standing behind Shoto, using him as a human shield. Shoto was mildly annoyed but overal didn't mind. "B-bitch if I can't escape you can't!!!"
"Sorry Bakugou!" You waved, pressing your head into Shoto's back. "I'm starting to hate hugs more than anything..."
"Hate to say it but you look even more rough than when we rescued you," Iida rubbed your back nicely and frankly you cherished the small action.
"My eardrums are blown out... again," fighting Present Mic made you go near deaf again. Yeah, the hearing aids are back to say hi. "I'm also still adjusting to living with a new quirk and costume and finally I have a hero name! Just don't worry about me guys, it's too much for me to handle right now but I'll be okay," Shoto didn't like most of what you just said and spun around to face you.
"New quirk?" Shoto furrowed. "I thought everyone was joking but did you really lose your first quirk?" Since when did Shoto care?
"It was either have a different quirk or be quirkless," you puffed out your cheeks, this conversation was painful. "It's not like I had a choice to keep my quirk Shoto, not like you care anyways-"
"When we were little you made a big deal out of having your mom's quirk after she passed but now it's gone. Wasn't that the last piece of your mom you had?" In the back of Shoto's mind he knew he was in the wrong for bringing up your mother at a time like this but the subject was eating away at him. Right after you lost her at a young age you isolated yourself from everyone, explaining why you never made friends with Shoto in youth even though his sister babysat you often. He just reunited with his own mother not so long ago, and now you've lost all contact with your own even further than death.
You have no memory at all of the Bubble Hero.
You fought off a tear, "I have nothing left of her now thanks for reminding me yet again..."
"I'm sorry (Y/n)," he grabbed you by the shoulder. "I just remember how hard you took it when she died back then and I've learned that holding back emotions doesn't help anyone. So... You have friends if you need them-"
"I've been venting to Bakugou for the last few weeks I'm aware," you slapped Shoto's hand away. "Mind your own damn business Shoto."
"I got pictures of your mom if you want them," Todoroki groaned. "Endeavor dug them out just for you since they used to be partners."
"Wait whoa what!?" You jumped back into the picture. "Your dad and my mom used to work together?"
"I-I didn't know either until he showed me the pictures," the pictures are rare that's for sure. Due to your Pro Hero mother's status as a mother she disliked pictures of herself in action. When she wasn't in action she still didn't like photographs of herself, that's why she photographed Toshinori and yourself together all the time back in her days to make up for it.
"I'll keep the offer in mind," you smiled ear to ear before bolting from your spot with your phone at hand.
"W-where are you going (Y/n)!?" Iida hollered from the pit of his stomach, more than catching Bakugou's attention.
"Prison!" You waved.
"Why!?" Iida faltered.
"Visiting a guy who knew my mom!" You finished up the phone number you typed within your phone, pressing the screen to your ear.
"It better not be who I think it is!" Bakugou fought his way out of the sea of classmates.
"Runnaway student!!!" Momo cried.
Bzzt
Bzzt
Bzzt
"Hello? (Y/n) why ya calling so suddenly? Something happen?"
"Shinsou I'm visiting Zack! You in?"
