Everyone stands in front of the dorms that are installed quickly and [Name] looks up at the building. She's excited, but she'll definitely miss her father and their conversations as well as spending time with him. She supposes that she could see her father over the weekends when she isn't busy which is fine, but his cooking was definitely the best.
"For now, I'm just glad that we were able to bring Class 1-A back together again," Aizawa started, standing in front of his students. He looks more tired than usual.
Sero looks around. "Everyone was allowed to enter the dorms, huh?"
"I had a hard time!" Hagakure sighed, slouching her shoulders.
"That's normal..." Jiruo commented.
"The two of you were directly affected by the gas," Ojiro mentions, looking to the two girls.
"We were all able to be together again because of the teachers," Asui added. "When I watched the press conference, I thought we'd lose them, and it made me sad."
[Name] looked down, her ears falling flat at the memories when the villains attacked the training camp. She reaches a hand to her neck, the wrappings still around as she's afraid to show the blotch that could be easily seen as a hand print burnt onto her neck. She doesn't want to show that and have people question her about it.
"Yeah," Uraraka voiced.
"I was surprised, too," Aizawa informed. [Name] looks to her teacher. "Well, I'm sure everyone has different circumstances. Now, I'll explain briefly about the dorms, but first--" Aizawa claps his hands. "For now, we will focus on getting the provisional licenses we were planning to have you get during the training camp."
"Oh yeah, they did talk about that!" Sato mentions.
"So much happened that I forgot about it," Ashido adds.
"This is important. Listen up," Aizawa stated. He looks around. "Kirishima. Yaoyorozo. Todoroki, Midoriya, Iida. These five went to save [Last Name] and Bakugo that night." [Name]'s eyes look to her friends, concern on her features as she's afraid what might happen to them. "Your reactions tell me that you all were at least aware of it. I'm going to set aside a number of issues and say this: If it weren't for All Might's retirement, I would've expelled everyone except [Last Name], Bakugo, Jiro, and Hagakure. Of course the five that went, but also the twelve who knew, but didn't stop them betrayed our trust, no matter what the reason. I would be grateful if you could follow the proper procedures and act properly in order to regain that trust. That is all." Aizawa turns his back to his shocked students and walks towards the dorms. "Now, we're going inside. Let's have some energy!"
"No, wait, how are we supposed to right now....?"
[Name] looks down, feeling absolutely horrible that most of her class could have been punished if it weren't for All Might's retirement. Now it just seems like [Name]'s creating problems for everyone and especially All Might. If she wasn't so scared, she could have transformed and asked for the Hellhound's help, but she was afraid. She closed her eyes, lowering her ears and her tail hangs.
Bakugo's eyes snapped to [Name], seeing how sad she looks and he grits his teeth. He also looks to Kirishima, also seeing the sad look on the redhead's face and Bakugo couldn't stand it. The two people he actually considers his friends and cares for are sad. Because of him? Bakugo isn't going to stand for that since he's used to seeing [Name] and Kirishima so happy and carefree.
"Come," Bakugo ordered.
Bakugo grabs Kaminari's shirt and starts dragging the boy towards the bushes. Everyone's confused as they watch Bakugo drag Kaminari against his will and [Name] could only watch and raise her eyebrow. Kaminari is desperately trying to free himself from Bakugo's grasp, but Bakugo is physically stronger than Kaminari.
[Name]'s eyes widen once the two are behind the bushes and seeing Kaminari's electricity flash until it stops. Kaminari is then pushed forward, his stupid and idiotic self as it seems that Bakugo forced Kaminari to use his Quirk until he turned stupid. Jiruo covers her mouth as she spits as she laughed. [Name] smiled, a giggle leaving her lips as she's happy that Bakugo did that to make the gloomy air disappear and to cheer everyone up.
"What? What did Bakugo do...?" Sero questioned.
"Kirishima!" Bakugo exclaimed, walking towards the redhead with a not so friendly look. Bakugo holds out money for Kirishima.
Kirishima's eyes widen. "Wait, you're scaring me! What is this, did you shake someone down for money?"
"No! I withdrew this money," Bakugo stated, that not so friendly look still in his eyes. "You used up all your allowance, right?"
"Yeah... Where did you hear about me buying night-vision goggles--?" Kirishima questioned. He stopped himself when Bakugo pushed the money into Kirishima's chest.
Bakugo walks past him. "If you keep having to scrimp and save, then it'll make me feel bad. Show your dumb side, as usual."
Bakugo stops in front of [Name], dropping that not friendly look and just gazing at her. [Name] raised an eyebrow, tilting her head in question and one of her ears flopped over almost resembling a puppy with her ears and look in her eyes. Bakugo lets out a sigh, closing his eyes so he doesn't have to keep looking at that adorable expression.
He places his hand on her head, right between her two ears and gently rubs her head. "There's something on your mind. If you need to talk to then come talk to me, Mutt."
[Name] blushed, shocked as Bakugo walks towards the dorms as almost everyone is paying attention to Kaminari. She wasn't expecting Bakugo to do that to her and her eyes widen in realization at the nickname he called her. Her blush disappears as a scowl and glare are present on her features. She turned around, glaring at the back of Bakugo's head.
"I'm not a mutt!" [Name] yelled.
"Sorry, everyone! This won't make up for it, but let's all go eat yakiniku tonight with this money!" Kirishima exclaimed.
"Seriously?!"

"Each student dorm buildings holds one class. Girls on the right, and boys on the left. But the first floor is the common area. Food, baths, and laundry are on this floor," Aizawa explained.
The first floors are spacious and huge for the common area. Although the color is mostly predominantly green and [Name] didn't think that green could be used so much as this, but she doesn't find it disgusting. Everyone's excited as they look around and [Name]'s just glad that she isn't the only person living here. Imagine living in a dorm like that and it's only just you.
"There's even a courtyard!"
"So spacious! So clean! And a sofa!"
"It's like a mansion!"
"Uraraka!"
"Did my ears deceive me? Baths and laundry are in the common area? Is this a dream?"
"They're separated by gender. You better watch yourself," Aizawa scolded.
"Yes, sir."
---
"Rooms start on the second floor. There are four rooms per gender on each floor with five floors in total. Everyone gets their own room. They're luxurious spaces equipped with their own AC, toilets, fridges, and closets," Aizawa explained.
"There's even a balcony!"
"This is about the same size as the closets we have at home."
[Name]'s eyes widen at Yaoyorozo's words, pondering what Yaoyorozo's home looks like because [Name] knows the girl comes from a rich family, but she ponders how rich they are. Also, who needs a closet that big if you're rich?? [Name] can do fine with a normal sized closet and not a closet the same size as a room.
"It's like a mansion!"
"Uraraka!"
---
"These are your rooms. The belongings you sent ahead have already been placed in your rooms, so unpack and get settled in today," Aizawa explained.
[Name]'s on the same floor as Kirishima, Bakugo, Shoji, Ashido which is on the 4th floor. [Name]'s positive that it'll be fun since Kirishima and Ashido are really fun people to hangout with and [Name] is already friends with Bakugo. She isn't sure if she'll get closer to Shoji since they barely talk or even hangout.
"I'll tell you more about what will happen from now to tomorrow," Aizawa informed, holding up the sign of the dorms layout. "That's all. Dismissed!"
"Yes, Mr. Aizawa!"
***
[Name] decides to stay in her room, already changed into her black oversize hoodie and shorts. She didn't feel like wearing the PE pants since she would like to not wear pants. She settled with shorts and she's sitting in the hammock chair in her room, slightly swinging back and forth as she couldn't stop thinking. She didn't think her father would have also send the hammock too since she figured there wouldn't be enough space, but she was wrong.
She figured the whole class is hanging out in the common area since Ashido had asked if [Name] wanted to come along. [Name] had politely declined and now here she is, swinging in her hammock and thinking about how she gets everyone in trouble. Bakugo. All Might. Her classmates. If she was strong enough, this wouldn't have happened. She could have saved Bakugo from the villains at the training camp, but she was too scared of Dabi.
[Name] lets out a loud sigh, lightly hitting her head and she knows it's only going to bug her. She stands up, deciding to take Bakugo's advice about talking to him since they've been through the same thing together. He would understand and [Name]'s afraid to tell her classmates because they might tell her the same thing about how it's not her fault when she believes its her fault.
She leaves her room, closing the door behind her and walking to the boys' side on the 4th floor and towards Bakugo's room. She's nervous although she shouldn't be because she's been to Bakugo's house once and his mom thought they were dating. But she shouldn't be nervous right now since Bakugo is her friend and she sees him as a friend. Right? [Name] sees Bakugo as a friend?
Does she?
[Name] knocks on Bakugo's door, waiting in front and she looks down the hall. She hears the click and she turns her head right in time to see Bakugo open the door. He slightly narrows his eyes at her, but not in a rude or mean manner and he raised an eyebrow. [Name] looked down, holding her hands behind her back as her ears fall flat just a little.
"I... I thought about taking your advice earlier," [Name] started, gazing up at him. "About talking to you. I just have a lot on my mind right now."
Bakugo doesn't say anything and he goes back to his bed, leaving his door open and [Name] raised an eyebrow. She looked inside, seeing as it looks exactly like his bedroom from his home. Her eyes land on a bookshelf, seeing multiple books on there, but she couldn't read the titles as they're close to Bakugo's bed.
"Are you just going to stand there or come in?" Bakugo snapped.
[Name] jumps slightly, entering Bakugo's room and she closes the door behind her. She stands awkwardly, not sure if she should sit at Bakugo's desk or on his bed. She looks between the chair at Bakugo's desk and Bakugo's bed that already has a Bakugo on it. She isn't sure which one she should sit on or she could possibly sit on the floor.
She ended up sitting on the floor and Bakugo lets out a sigh.
"You don't have to sit on the floor," Bakugo grumbled, holding out his hand.
[Name] takes his hand and he pulls her up until she's sitting on his bed. Bakugo sits criss-crossed and [Name] has her legs hanging off the side of his bed, looking down at her lap. She isn't quite sure how to start the conversation, but she has an idea to start from the very beginning. She closes her eyes, her ears falling back.
"Take the time you need," Bakugo started, observing the girl in front of him. "But if you keep me up, I'm kicking your ass."
[Name] chuckled. "Whatever." She drops her happy demeanor and the smile when she chuckled. Her gaze still on her lap. "I wanted to talk about everything that's happened, but I wanna start from the beginning." [Name] looks to Bakugo and he nods his head. "When I first smelt the smoke and saw it, I immediately ran to it. I wasn't thinking straight and it was stupid, but I didn't think and acted first. When I had gotten there, I was cornered by the blue flames and that scarred villain, Dabi. I wasn't afraid of him, but rather that I knew he was powerful and I couldn't transform because I wouldn't be able to dodge those flames in my form. So I decided to fight with my fists and ended up losing."
"It's the same bastard that burnt you, huh?" Bakugo questioned.
She didn't answer, only nodding her head. She continued to talk. "He had knocked me out and when I came to it, I saw Shouto and them trying to save us. I was terrified because if I had done something, I knew was going to be burned by Dabi, but when I saw that you were also being taken, I knew I had to do something." [Name] sniffled, tears swelling in her eyes. "I couldn't do anything though. I tried! And I got burnt on my neck which hurt like hell. I was so scared, Katsuki! I knew I had to do something, but I did nothing when I got burnt! It's my fault that we got kidnapped because if I had transformed and used the Hellhound, then we wouldn't have been kidnapped."
Bakugo opened his mouth, but when he heard [Name] talking, he stopped himself to let the girl continue to talk.
"In front of those villains, it was scary," [Name] confessed, wiping away the tear. "I was afraid they were going to do something to you and I decided that if they decided to hurt you then I would protect you, but they didn't. They just wanted us to join them and deep down, I knew you wouldn't. Then when All Might came, I was so relieved until we saw that boss villain." [Name] let out a bitter laugh. "Now, he was scary and when we stood our ground, I wasn't scared because I knew you wouldn't let anything happen to me after seeing how angry you got when Dabi was near me and you said that you promise that you wouldn't let them hurt me. I believed you and that gave me the courage to make sure you aren't hurt either. Then Kirishima and the others come in and save us." She lowers her head. "But watching All Might fight that boss villain, I was so terrified that All Might would lose, but All Might pulled out and won. Unfortunately, it's my fault."
"[Name--"
"It's my fault that we got kidnapped, my fault that All Might has to retire, my fault that if it wasn't for All Might's retirement that our class would have been expelled!" [Name] cried, tears swelling in her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.
Bakugo stares at her with a shocked expression, watching the girl in front of her break down and letting out her feelings. She cries loudly, covering her face with her hands and her shoulders shake as she cries. It's almost like a crack could be heard in Bakugo's stone heart, seeing a girl that he cares about a lot cry in front of him as it's his fault that everything happened. He understands how she feels and Bakugo cannot withstand seeing this girl cry in front of him.
He reaches out, grabbing hold of [Name]'s wrist and tugging her towards him until the girl is in his arms. He wraps his arms around her, holding her close to his chest and curling above her. She cries into his chest, wetting his black shirt with her tears and Bakugo could care less even if she had makeup and it got on his shirt, he wouldn't give two fucks.
"[Name], listen good because I'm not going to fucking repeat myself," Bakugo started, [Name] quietly crying into his chest. "It's not your fault we got kidnapped, okay? So stop telling yourself that. I didn't do anything either when I knew I could have saved us both from being kidnapped. You were afraid and scared, but I was too and I thought I was in deep shit after attacking that one fucker. But we didn't give up did we? We were strong against them in not giving up at all." Bakugo starts rubbing the back of [Name]'s head, trying to soothe the girl. "We stood strong against those villains when we fought them. You were beyond badass in using your Quirk, but we held each other's backs. But it's not your fault that All Might retired. I promise it's not your fault."
'Because it's my fault.' Bakugo wanted to say that, but decided not to.
"Stop blaming yourself when it was never your fault," Bakugo finished.
[Name] looks up at Bakugo, her eyes red from her crying and he could see the trail the tears left on her face. Her ears are still flat as Bakugo's hand is resting on the back of her head. He gazes down at her with a soft look, a ghost smile on his lips and [Name]'s eyes widen at the soft looking Bakugo in front of her. Bakugo scoffed, a smirk pulling on his lips and the hand behind her head moves to the top of her head.
"Will you be a good girl and stop blaming yourself?" Bakugo questioned.
[Name] blushed heavily, the realization hitting her. She's lying against Bakugo's chest and in between his legs. His arm is around her waist as his other hand is between her ears and patting gently. Her tail is wagging behind [Name] as those words that Bakugo said made her body react without her mind telling her body to. It would definitely be inappropriate if someone walks in on them and sees them because it would look like they're about to kiss.
"Well, are you a good girl?" Bakugo teased, his smirk widening.
[Name] drops her head, hiding her face in Bakugo's chest as he laughs and throws his head back. Bakugo could see that [Name]'s tail is still wagging and her head is resting against Bakugo's chest. Although Bakugo isn't one for affection like this, but he'll accept it if it's for [Name] or if it's for comforting her. She's rather comfortable.
A knock on Bakugo's door scares the both of them, jumping at the sound of knocking. [Name] looks up, sitting on her hands and knees as she looks at the door over her shoulder with shock and she looks back at Bakugo, seeing the male just stare at his door. [Name] listens to who's outside the door and it seems like most of the class is out there.
"Katsuki, most of the class is outside," [Name] whispered.
Bakugo lets out a groan, looking to [Name] and a slight blush rises to his cheeks. From what Bakugo can see, it looks like [Name] isn't wearing any pants since the hoodie is hanging at the hem and covering her shorts from his sight. The blush on [Name]'s cheeks are still predominant and the look of concern flashes over her eyes. Her ears are standing tall in alert and her tail swaying slowly from side to side. She's even between his legs and if those idiots come into his room, they'll definitely think that [Name] and Bakugo are about to do something intimate.
"Stay here and I'll scare them away," Bakugo mumbled.
[Name] shuffles away from Bakugo and he gets up, walking towards his door and he glances over at [Name] before he opens it. He opens it and quickly steps out, making sure none of them would look into his room which he doesn't want. [Name] lays down, curling into a ball as she stares at the door, softly hearing the conversation between Bakugo and most of the class that's outside his door.
At some point, [Name]'s eyes feel heavy as she has a hard time trying to keep them open. She lets out a yawn, snuggling her face in Bakugo's blankets and she feels herself slipping into sleep. After all, when someone cries and they're done crying, they feel tired and eventually fall asleep which is what happened to [Name].
