Bakugou finally texts you as night begins to fall. “Are you still at the Commission?” the text reads. You stare at it. Already, you’re unsure how to respond. Once you tell him that you’ve been here the whole time, he’ll begin to read you. He’ll come up to your room, examine your face, take off your collar to decipher your scent…and you can’t tell him anything. He’ll see all the cracks in your facade, and you won’t be able to say a word about it.

You drop your phone on your chest and let your eyes drift back to the ceiling. How do you keep ending up here—staring at the ceiling with a gaping black hole in your heart?

A few minutes tick by. The clock on your wall makes the faintest sound, keeping track of the time you spend losing yourself. Every tick brings you closer to facing the daunting, hideous consequences of your decision. The reality of it all hovers around you and inside of you, a chilly sensation that coats your bones.

You’re alone. Even if Bakugou comes up here—even if the whole class shoves their way into your room—you’re horribly, staggeringly alone. Most of them don’t know even the slimmest details to begin to understand the weight of what you’ve agreed to do, and even if they did, even if you bared your heart and spilled all your secrets, you can’t breathe a word about the mission. They can’t know. You can’t tell them. You can’t breathe.

You inhale and pick your phone back up.

“I’m here,” you text. “In my room.”

Jealousy

How mha boys react when they’re jealous.

Katsuki B.

They could not indeed NOT pay him enough for him to tolerate the thought of someone else flirting with you. In what world would he play that? He’s not worried about you

Never that, he knows you’re loyal, he’s worried about the dumbasses flirting with you. “Babe- it’s just a photo shoot.” You said stroking his cheek “I don’t care. I’ll model.” He said frowning upon the thought of someone else modeling with you

“I- you can’t- please hon, it’s just one photo. Then we’ll go home okay?” You’ve managed to convince him “Fine. One photo then we’re done. Got it?” You nodded kissing his cheek

That would’ve been the end of it, but you model partner had to get a bit too handsy for Bakugou’s liking.

Upon seeing this before the photos could be taken he pulled you away “Yeah no. I’m not doing this.” He said and people were confused a bit “Doing what?” You asked

“Whatever this is! Either I model or no photo!” He was practically demanding the photographers and they looked at each other “Uh-.. okay.” After the photos were taken he stormed out of the building

“You did good for your first time as a model!” You said praising him and trying to cool his nerves

“Shut up dumbass.” He tched

Izuku M.

Well when he’s jealous, he gets super shy, like super duper shy.

Poor baby didn’t know what to do, he overthought a lot.

‘Do i confront them? No, they might think I don’t trust them!’ ‘What do I do? It’s not their fault’ ‘maybe I’m overthinking this.’

He started his little mutter and you looked at him a bit confused “Izu, what’s on your mind?” You placed your hand on his forehead

“Oh! Uh.. nothing!” He said quickly turning a shade of pink in embarrassment “Just… wondering..” he started and you raised an eyebrow

“About that guy from the mall. The way he looked at you.. it made me feel weird..” he continued on and he started stuttering a bit noticing your pretty eyes on his

“If you want to leave m-“ “okay shut up.” You cut him off “huh?” He got a bit flustered again “I’m not leaving you Izuku.” You said

“Right! But if you ever just-“ “Nah I don’t think I want to go anywhere.” You smiled and kissed his forehead bringing his worries to ease

Eijiro K.

So unlike the rest of them, he’ll tell you how he feels straightforwardly

He knows what to do (no he doesn’t.) so! As soon as you guys got home he brought it up no overthinking no holding back! He gots this!

“Y/n, when we were at the uhm movies, that guy you were sitting next to uh.” He didn’t know what to continue with

“What?” You raised your eyebrow “I got a bit jealous because he was uhh.” Kirishima didn’t know what to say now, he didn’t want you thinking he’s overprotective

“Oh! I get it now!” You said “I’m sorry if I’ve made you feel that way Kiri.” You apologized and that’s exactly what he DIDN’T want

“What? No! It’s not your fault baby I just-“ you cut him off with a slight peck “nobody’s better than my man, my manly man.” You said stroking his cheek causing him to blush a lot.

“Are you sure? You know I don’t wanna force you to be with me and I-“ “Relax Kiri, you’re the one I wanna be with okay? I’m not going anywhere.” You pressed your head against his causing him to smile

“Thanks babe.”

Kaminari D.

A big baby, now I mean a big baby. He instantly says something well… he doesn’t really say anything. He complains about it a sureeeee lot.

“Y/nnnnnnnnnn” he clung onto you like a needy baby

You were a bit confused by this, “What’s wrong..?” You said slightly pushing him a bit causing him to have a dramatic sigh “SIGHHHHHHHHH.”

You looked at him like what the hell? “Are you okay baby?” You asked checking his forehead “Are you sick?” You kept checking “Sick of this horrrrridddd treatment.” Denki complained

“What? What are you complaining about?” You asked squeezing his cheeks

“You don’t love me anymoreees :(.” He frowned “you love that beach guy!!” You wanted to laugh so badly “Oh shut up! You’re such a baby!”

“See you’re not even denying it!” He huffed turning away from you

“Denki I love you, and onlyyy you.” You said hugging him from behind to see if he budges but he didn’t as expected “you’re my pika man. Theee sparks of my night! My stars in the sky! My sun too my mooooonnnn” you said smothering his shoulder in kisses

“Really baby?” He finally budged “Really.”

Shoto T.

He knew what jealousy was, he’s felt it all too well in his life. But he didn’t know how to exactly express that jealousy. Even when it’s pertaining to you.

He didn’t wanna seem as controlling as his father, well he didn’t wanna seem controlling in general. He wanted you to know that if you wanna leave him, you can always leave.

You, on the other hand noticed something was wrong with Shoto, even though he’s mostly monotone there was a huge difference. You couldn’t put your finger on the difference but you could tell.

“Sho, are you okay?” You asked him “Is something wrong?” You added more to your question and he just looked at you not knowing where to start.

“Don’t be afraid to leave me.” He said so bluntly, like he didn’t care what you did, but he did. He really did. “Huh? What are you talking about Sho?”

“If you want another- I uh- don’t mind.” He said and you just smiled “Sho, honey, I love you to pieces. I’m not going anywhere.” You said rubbing your thumb against his knuckles.

Thanks so much for reading, I hope you’ve enjoyed <3.

The devil's darling : Osamu Dazai

Synposis : with your first visit to the port mafia's headquarters, you see the other side of your lover. The one that he never showed you before. It was as if you suddenly remembered that he wasn't just your sweet boyfriend . He was also the most feared man in Yokohama. He was also the youngest boss of the criminal organisation, the port mafia.

Genre/ warnings: port mafia boss dazai, fluff, angst, mentions of blood, knife, mentions of getting stabbed, slightly suggestive

A/n: this story doesn't follow the original beast au storyline. In fact I won't even call it beast au because everything else is same other than dazai being the boss.

Author's pov

You hummed a soft tune as you walked around the huge office, lightly touching the art piece that hung on the wall in fear of damaging it somehow. Now you know you just shouldn't touch the delicate art work but you couldn't help yourself. If you find something fascinating then you just need to feel it once. And you also know that your boyfriend wouldn't blink an eye even if the art piece got damaged. He's more than capable of buying a few hundreds of the same piece if he wants but you'd rather live without the guilt of ruining it.

Deciding that you should probably stop touching it, you took a step back, opting to admire it from a distance. "sweetheart" you perked up at the sound of his voice and turned around, your lips curling up in a soft smile as your eyes met. "hmm?" you hummed silently asking him to continue.

Dazai placed the papers he was going through down on his desk, looking at you with soft eyes "are you feeling bored, my love?" he mumbled and you quickly shook your head. Well you admit that you were starting to feel a tiny bit bored with him silently working on some papers but you didn't want to disturb him so you opted to look around his office to pass some time. You know he's a busy man so you cherished every moment with him that you can spend in comfortable silence.

He looked at you silently for a moment before pushing his chair back slightly and extending a hand towards you "come here angel" your smile widened and you skipped towards him, placing your hand on his. A small smile tugged on his lips as he pulled you on his lap, kissing your wrist when you cupped his face with soft hands.

He hummed raspily when you leaned forward to press a quick kiss on his lips, his one arm wrapping around your waist while the other tucked your hair behind your ear "hey samu" you whispered against his lips before pulling back, giggling when his lips chased yours "hey angel" he mumbled pulling you in another kiss "you know I can tell when you're getting bored, sweetheart. You keep looking at the clock every now and then."

You scrunched your nose smiling sheepishly. Of course he'd catch on "okay I am feeling a little bored but it's fine. Your office is so big I'm sure I'll find something interesting in here" you said tucking a side of his hair behind his hair. You love it when he tucks his hair behind his ear. He hums as his hand slips inside your shirt, lightly caressing your bare waist "do you want to go back home? I can call a car for you -" before he could finish his sentence, you cut him off quickly shaking your head "no no I'm fine. I want to stay here with you. I can wait until you finish your work and we can go home together " you paused before adding "b-but I can go back if I'm disturbing you"

He tched pulling you closer "nonsense. You're never disturbing me, angel. I'm happy that you're here. I was asking in case you wanted to go back" you smiled at that, kissing his nose "then we'll go back together" he smiled softly with his hand going to the back of your neck. Pulling you towards him, his lips brushed against your forehead before he pressed his lips on yours in a deep kiss. Your eyes fluttered shut as you wrapped your arms around his neck, kissing him back softly.

At the same time, someone knocked on the door and you pulled back startled, going to get up but dazai didn't let you. You looked at him surprised when his grip around your waist tightened and he held you firmly on his lap while someone entered the room "boss" Nakahara Chuuya's voice sounded in the room and you turned your head to see chuuya standing there with his head bowed and his one hand holding his hat against his chest "they've been taken care of as you asked" who was taken care of? You'll never know and you don't even want to know.

You were just here to spend some time with your lover "good. Now chuuya, you've come right in time" chuuya looked up, silently asking dazai to give him his next orders "see, this is the first time my sweet girl has visited the headquarters and she's started to feel bored so would you mind giving her a tour around the building while I finish my work?" you looked at dazai surprised while chuuya nodded "of course not. I'd be happy to" "samu" you whispered tugging his coat slightly to make him look at you "I'm fine staying here" dazai smiled, running his thumb across your bottom lip "I know your curious little brain is dying to look around the building, sweetheart. So go with chuuya and I promise I'll be done by the time you come back. Then we'll go home"

You hummed thinking for a moment before nodding and looking at him with a smile. He raised an eyebrow when he recognized the mischievous glint in your doe eyes . You bite his thumb lightly, giggling softly when you saw his eyes darken a shade before getting off of his lap and pressing a kiss on his forehead "then I'll see you later Samu" he hummed, squeezing your hip and watched as you turned around and started walking towards the door.

You said a small thank you to chuuya as he held the door open for you and turned around one last time to wave at dazai, smiling as he waved back. You fiddled with your fingers awkwardly as you both passed by the multiple guards whose jobs were to guard the boss's office. Each one bowed towards you and you almost told them to stop bowing so much. You weren't used to it, unlike dazai who wouldn't even glance at them.

The long walk towards the elevator was silent with chuuya walking besides you in a respectful distance. You'd seen him many times before. You're aware that he's dazai's right hand man so you've seen him besides dazai multiple times but you've never talked to him properly so you were a little scared that the whole time will be spent in awkward silence.

So when you both reached the elevator and he pressed the button, you finally decided to break the silence "I hope I'm not disturbing you while you're busy, nakahara san" Chuuya's gaze snapped at you and his smile made you feel a little at ease "of course not, y/n San. I could actually use a little walk right now too. And please just call me chuuya" you nodded smiling softly as you both stepped in the elevator, now feeling more relaxed.

"is there anything you'd like to see first?" chuuya asked before pressing any button. You shook your head and he nodded "then we'll start floor by floor" the moment You both stepped out of the elevator, you were suddenly aware of the many eyes on you and it made you feel very, very uncomfortable. It was like every person in the floor was staring at you and judging you.

Your gaze fell on the floor and you whispered to chuuya "is it just me or is everyone staring?" chuuya kept his eyes ahead, chuckling softly. He didn't need to look around the room to see what everyone was looking at. "don't worry. This is the first time the mafia is seeing their boss's partner. That's why they're all staring. They don't mean any harm" even though he said that, he still looked around the room once with his eyes cold and stern. And once was enough to make all the men look away.

You didn't notice when people stopped staring at you because you were already busy looking around the huge place. There were so many long hallways and even more doors that you were sure you'd get lost in here if you wander around alone. Every person around you stepped back as you walked past them. But thankfully you were distracted enough to pay them no mind.

"this is the security room" chuuya said stopping in front of a black door before opening it. You hummed leaning forward on your tiptoes to look at the dark room. The only light in there being the many monitors that showed each and every part of this building. "you can go inside" chuuya smiled as your eyes widened "I can?" he nodded "of course you can" he held the door open for you but before you could take a single step in, the men sitting inside were already standing up and bowing a full 90°. Ah they must have probably seen you with dazai through the cameras when you had entered the building. Your eyes widened even more and you hastily said "p-please continue your work!" before looking at chuuya who nodded chuckling softly and closed the door.

"let's not go inside any room from now" you look at him sheepishly and he nodded "as you wish" you had a feeling he was trying to be polite by now laughing at you.

The next half hour went by a blur. Walking around the building, with him showing you the various rooms. You actually managed to see the inside of their training room because it had glass doors instead of the black wooden ones. From the outside you could see various types of guns hanging on a wall and many men training. And After only seeing men on every floor, you were surprised and very happy to see a girl outside the training room. She was wearing a mask so you couldn't see her face but before you could stop yourself, you waved at her with an excited smile. Your smile softened when you saw her eyes widen for a moment before she shyly waved at you and bowed before entering the room.

"that was Gin" chuuya said as you both walked towards the elevator "gin?" you looked at him and he nodded "Gin akutagawa. She is Ryunosuke's sister" your eyes widen in recognition "I didn't know he has a sister. They seem completely opposite of each other " you smiled at the image of the two siblings "they are" chuuya replied shortly.

After walking around the building for another 10 minutes, you were starting to feel tired. You've been walking around since 40 minutes but there are still places left to see. It seems like chuuya noticed your pace getting slower and stopped before turning around and looking at you "are you feeling tired, y/n San?" you smiled slightly and nodded "a little" ''would you like some water?" chuuya asked pressing the button on his ear piece and you nodded again "yes some water would be great. Thank you" he gestured for you to follow him "this is the resting area. You can rest here for a while and then I can take you back to the boss's office" he told you before saying something in his ear piece.

You wanted to tell him that you were fine and that you can continue the tour but before you could say anything, you both heard a commotion from nearby. Chuuya's gaze snapped towards the voices and he looked at you for a second "please wait here for me y/n San. I'll be back in a second" you know that you're safe here. This building literally belongs to your boyfriend and all these men work for him. But still the idea of being left alone in between all these new faces made you a little uncomfortable so you shook your head and stood up "I'll come with you" he nodded and got in front of you. All this time he was walking besides you so you were confused as to why he suddenly got in front of you "I'd like You to stay behind me" all the warmth in his voice had disappeared and you recognized the coldness in his voice. You've heard it before when he's doing his job as dazai's bodyguard and second in command.

You followed him as he walked towards the direction where the voices were growing louder and louder, until you both reached what looked like a room made for holding different types of weapons. You peeked around chuuya to see a small group of men standing at the center of the room but your eyes widened when you saw him "dazai?" you whispered, a smile blooming on your face but it soon dropped when chuuya growled "what the fuck are you doing?" you realised that the words weren't directed to dazai but the man standing in front of him.

"y/n San don't come any closer" chuuya said without looking at you and rushed by dazai's side. Your nervousnsess seemed to grow when you sensed the tense atmosphere in the room. Dazai looked calm at once glance but if you looked closely you could see the coldness in his eyes as he raised a single hand "chuuya. Stand back" Chuuya's jaw clenched but he didn't argue and stood a step behind dazai.

"now" a shiver ran down your spin when his lips tugged up in a smile. Not the smile that he gives you. But a cold and humorless one. "why don't you continue?" his voice was calm when he spoke to the man in front of him and only then did you look at the unknown man. While dazai looked as calm as ever, the man in front of him seemed to be shaking with fear. You looked at dazai nervously when he took a step ahead, causing the man to step back "you were saying something weren't you? Cat caught your tongue?" his lips pulled up in a smirk and there was almost a pleasant glint in his eyes when the man opened his mouth to say something "you're crazy" he sneered causing an empty laugh to slip past dazai's lips "oh really? I wouldn't have known until you told me"

Suddenly your eyes caught the movement of the man's hand and your eyes widened when you noticed the shine of a knife in his belt. For some reason the only thing going in your mind was that you had to take dazai out of here. So your legs started moving before you could even comprehend it and you were already running towards him. The man stumbled back when you got in between him and dazai and you breathed shakily reaching up to cup his face "samu" you whispered, your thumb rubbing his cheek softly. You didn't know what you were feeling when his gaze fell on you. That cold and empty gaze looked at you for a moment before a smile pulled up on his lips. But that wasn't the same smile he gave you almost an hour ago. That smile was full of love and warmth but this one lacked both of those emotions.

Chuuya had pulled his gun out the moment you stepped in but you were too busy trying to find your dazai to notice that. Your eyes searched his and you felt his hand gracing your waist in a light, feathery touch. And then as you continued looking in his eyes, trying to find the same warmth, you realised with a sinking feeling that you weren't looking at your lover right now. You were looking at the most feared man in the city.

"sweetheart" he mumbled, his fingers digging in your skin slightly with his voice void of an emotion. He always calls you that so why did it feel so different right now? "go back to my office. I'll be there soon" he wasn't asking you. He was telling you to go back. But that didn't stop you from shaking your head. You needed to get him out of here. "come with me" you whispered with pleading eyes, gripping his coat and hoping that your dazai would come back.

Before he could say anything, you heard chuuya yell "oi!" and all of a sudden, your were in dazai's arms. His arm was wrapped around your waist tightly and you were pulled in his chest. Your heart was pounding when you looked up, noticing that every man standing in this room were pointing their gun at the man who was arguing with dazai. "d-dazai?" you called him turning your head back and a fearful gasp left your lips when you saw dazai gripping the sharp end of the knife with his bare hand. The knife that was inches away from touching you. You looked up at him, tears filling your eyes when you saw the blood dripping from his hand while the man holding the knife stumbled back with wide eyes "samu y-your hand-" he shushed you softly. Placing a hand on the back of your head, he pulled you in so that your face was hidden in his chest. Once he was sure that your vision was blocked, he kissed your head and mumbled the words that only you could hear "those pretty eyes were only made to look at beautiful things, angel. Not at these worthless and pathetic beings"

Because your vision was blocked, you couldn't see him flipping the knife around in his injured hand. But you heard the blood curdling scream that left that man's mouth when dazai raised his hand and stabbed straight above the man's heart. Your eyes widened and your hands trembled as you gripped his coat tightly at the same time another scream echoed the walls.

A cruel smile lifted dazai's lips as he twisted the knife in the man's flesh. His smile widening at the screams and cries of help. "you know" he mused digging the knife deeper "I would have loved to hear you talk, had you not made the mistake of thinking you could get away after trying to hurt my love" with that he pulled the knife out only to stab him again. A small whimper left your lips when you heard another scream. The one that caught your lover's attention even with all the screams and cries. It was as if your voice snapped him back from his deranged haze. He dropped the knife and looked at chuuya who nodded, ordering a few men to take away the body.

He rubbed the back of your head with his uninjured hand, mumbling "don't look back angel. I want you to only look at me. Do you understand?" your reply was a small nod as you slowly pulled back and looked up with teary eyes . His jaw clenched at the sight but he didn't said anything and wrapped an arm around your shoulder, walking towards the elevator. The whole way towards his office, you didn't say anything but your bottom lip trembled when your eyes caught the sight of his bloodied hand hanging by his side. Chuuya took a different elevator and followed you both at a distance as dazai guided you back to his office.

As you entered the room, you turned around and looked at chuuya, your voice coming out shaky "c-can I get a wet towel and a first aid kit please? " "right away" chuuya replied and you saw him speaking something in his ear piece just as the door fully closed. You didn't say anything as you took his good hand and guided him towards his desk but you felt his eyes on you the whole time. When a knock sounded, you rushed towards the door and opened it to find chuuya standing there with the things you asked for. Taking the kit and the small basket of wet towels from his hands, you whispered a small thank you and turned around not waiting for his reply.

Still chuuya nodded as the door fully closed, and he turned around, standing there on guard with his hands clasped behind him "no one is allowed to enter this floor until I say so" every guard in the hallway nodded before passing the order in their ear pieces.

You found dazai leaned against his desk, watching you silently as you stood in between his legs, holding his injured hand gingerly and started cleaning the blood off of it. He didn't as much as blink an eye but you felt your own getting teary when you saw the blood staining the whole towel. You exhaled shakily, treating the wound as gently as you could all the while avoiding his eyes.

He observed you silently. His sharp eyes not missing a single detail from your shaky hands to you avoiding looking at him. His looked away for a moment, his voice coming out eerily calm "are you scared of me?" your movements halted and you finally looked at him. Again, his face seemed calm but you didn't miss the subtle tense in his jaw and the many emotions swirling in his eyes. Holding his uninjured hand for a moment, you said "I'm not scared of you, Osamu" his gaze fell on you and he gently squeezed your hand "then why are you avoiding me?" he asked quietly and you looked down again, resuming yout work "i-i'm not'' you both know that was a lie.

Placing his pointer finger under your chin, he tilted your face up, mumbling "look at me angel" you were trying to avoid his eyes to stop yourself from crying. You didn't want to appear so weak in front of him but you couldn't help it. A single tear ran down your cheek and dazai pulled you to him swiftly, wrapping an arm around your shaking form "i-im sorry" you whimpered burying your face in his chest while dazai's brows furrowed "why are you apologizing? You've done nothing wrong sweetheart" he whispered, his hold around you tightening as he pressed multiple kisses on your head "y/n please don't cry" he buried his face in your hair, exhaling the sweet fragrance of your shampoo "y-you got hurt because of me" you pulled back slightly to look at him and wiped your tears, a smile almost pulling on your lips when you saw the visible confusion on his face "what do you mean I got hurt because of you?" his honey eyes stared in your own as he patiently waited for you to finish your sentence.

"well" you looked down "i-i feel like if I hadn't come in between, then you wouldn't have gotten hurt. It was silly of me. Chuuya and everyone else wouldn't have let you get hurt even if that man had tried to attack you. But because I came in between.." you trailed off fiddling with the buttons of his coat. He tched shaking his head with a small sigh and made you look at him "angel I didn't get hurt because of you. That shit head was thinking about swinging his little knife at me before you were there too" your eyes widened at his words "y-you knew he was thinking about hurting you?" a raspy chuckle left his lips as he nodded, taking your hand and pressing soft kisses on your fingers "of course I did" he mumbled "then why didn't you move away? O-or-" he cut you off with a small smile "because thinking and doing are two different things, doll. He was thinking about it. He wanted to do it but he couldn't. He didn't have the guts to stab the boss so he decided to be a fucking coward and tried to hurt you thinking he'd have a chance to escape" his eyes darkened at the last sentence and his arms wrapped around your form, pulling you in his deep embrace again.

You hugged him back, noticing all the tension leaving his body as he relaxed against you. His voice much more soft now "you didn't hurt me angel. You'll never hurt me. So stop worrying that pretty little head, you hear me?" you nodded pressing a soft kiss on his jaw "Samu?" he hummed nuzzling his face in your neck causing you to giggle softly as you placed one hand on his shoulder while the other stayed wrapped around him "what did that man do? Y-you looked angry when I got there" you asked hesitantly not knowing if he'll even answer it or not. He has told you many times before that the less you know, the safer you will be. But there are only rare times when dazai truly gets angry. So you couldn't help yourself but ask.

He sighed tiredly and pulled back a little to cup your face with one hand "we found out that there were a few spies in the mafia" your eyes widened at that "chuuya had managed to find every one of them expect one person" "you knew that man was the spy?" he nodded looking proud at how quick you catch on "I had my doubts but I didn't want to risk him running away so I stayed quiet until my doubts were cleared. When he saw me he got flustered and you know a flustered human will always make mistakes. He didn't have any chance of escaping so he started babbling nonsense" he didn't want to tell you that the nonsense he was speaking, included you. He was already planning on how to make him see hell on earth but you gave him a quick death by coming in between. He wasn't mad at you about it. If anything, it made him realise the difference between you and him once again. While he's out here killing people, you're saving them without even knowing. And a quick death wasn't known as a punishment in his books.

He noticed you've gone quiet again as you absentmindedly played with the locks of his hair "sweetheart" you looked at him questioningly, his hands a little desperate as he pulled you in "tell me I didn't scare you" you smiled softly cupping his face and leaned forward until your lips brushed against his "I'm not scared of you, Samu. You didn't scare me. I was just a little... I can't find the right word for it but I'm not scared of you" he looked at you quietly for a moment before exhaling and pulling you back in his arms "I love you" he mumbled kissing the side of your head and you smiled "I love you too samu"

After a few moments of him holding you, you turned around in his arms so that your back was pressed against his chest and his one arm was wrapped around your waist . He watched you silently as you gently cradled his bandaged hand close to your chest "does it hurt?" you whispered and he could only manage a small shake of his head as he felt his heart skipping a beat when you raised his hand to your lips and pressed a soft kiss on his knuckles.

He knows what you were feeling. The emotion you couldn't name and neither could he to be honest. He was damaged since the early age of 14 so blood and gore didn't have any effect on him. Catching and punishing spies wasn't any surprise either. But this was the first time you, his precious angel witnessed something like this. And he was mad at himself for every letting you see something like this. When he was walking you to his office, he was convinced that he had scared you. That you will start hating him after seeing the side of him that he desperately wanted to hide. That this morning was the last time he was able to see your sweet smile. So imagine how he must have felt when you still welcomed him with open arms. When you still kissed him and heard him and held him with that smile and gentle warmth.

As he saw you softly caressing his injured hand, he wondered how you can treat him with the same love and affection after witnessing his true side. Holding you again was another thing. He was terrified that he won't ever be able to see you and your warm smile again. It scared him more than he expected. And this was the first time his expectations had gone wrong but he was so glad they did went wrong. Because he fell for you all over again. He loved you a little more than yesterday and he held you just a little tighter as you kissed his cheek, asking if you both can go home now.

Home. He never thought he would have a place that he could call home but here he was, letting you decorate his lifeless penthouse with your yellow cushions and curtains and flower pots and what not.

Smiling softly, he nodded, holding you just for a second more before pressing a deep kiss on your lips.

"let's go home, sweetheart"

forty days and forty nights (day nine!)

(woahh day nine look at us go!!)

(read them all here!)

the next day at work, which was a saturday, you found yourself especially looking forward to bakugo’s appearance. you felt like you’d become friends with him— real, actual friends— after going to the party with him and kirishima. it was incredibly exciting.

you didn’t have many friends. it’s not like you minded; you liked being able to make your own plans and have time to yourself. but you were always accepting of new friends, particularly those that were your age— most of your current friends (more like close acquaintances) were twice as old as you, maybe even three or four times. so when you got home last night from the party, you were positively glowing, a rush of excitement washing over you (it helped that all of your new friends seemed like the type who were incredibly popular in high school; the kind of people everyone wanted to be around. and pro heroes. that helped too.) mina had actually texted you, asking you to hang out the following wednesday, which you happily agreed to.

you were snapped out of your thoughts by the familiar chime of the sweet little bells that announced the arrival of a customer. bakugo was grumbling, rubbing the bridge of his nose as he entered.

“are you doing alright?” you asked, already ringing him up.

“just fuckin’ exhausted.” he muttered. “make it a large today.”

“okay.” you hum, voiding the transaction and finding it the tiniest bit irksome that the one day you don’t ask for his order is the one day he changes it. you quickly brushed the feeling away. what a dumb thing to be irked by. “go ahead and sit down, it’ll be right out.” bakugo grunted an annoyed “don’t tell me what to do”, but obliged.

“is it from the party last night?” you ask as you hand him his coffee, which he promptly takes a drink from.

“yeah. those fuckers wouldn’t shut up in the group chat after it was over.” bakugo tched.

“ah, they must have kept you up, then.” you said sympathetically.

“no shit.”

“hey, speaking of, is mina a pro hero, too?”

“yeah.”

“what’s hero hero name? and her quirk?” you pressed.

“her quirk’s acid, and her hero name’s pinky.” he answered somewhat reluctantly.

“so do you call all your friends by their hero names?” you immediately regretted asking. after all, bakugo called kirishima shitty hair.

“hell no.” bakugo scoffed. “i called her pinky in high school and she made it her damn hero name after her first pick was rejected.”

“what was her first pick?” you ask curiously.

“alien queen or some dumb shit like that.”

“was dynamight your first pick?”

“no. they rejected my first two.” bakugo scowled, recalling the memory darkly.

“what were they?”

“lord explosion murder and king explosion murder.” you stared at him, dumbfounded.

it sounds exactly like your current one!! you wanted to scream, but you were too busy holding in your laughter.

“if you laugh, i’ll kill you.” bakugo hissed.

“i’m— i’m not laughing.” you managed to say between gasps, holding your hand to your mouth to block any sounds from coming out.

“i can see your shoulders shaking!” bakugo shouted.

“they’re not!” you didn’t even try to make your lie sound convincing.

“yes they are!”

“okay, okay, changing the subject now,” you snickered. “where did you go to high school?”

“hah?” bakugo seemed almost offended that you didn’t know what high school he went to. “ua. the best hero school.”

“i went to middle school with someone who went there, i think.” you mused airily. bakugo narrowed his eyes.

“who?”

“his name was monoma. neito monoma?” you guessed, not quite knowing his full name. bakugo immediately looked irked.

“that asshole…” he seethed.

“yeah, he had an ego to him.” you reminisced. “but there was this girl who always managed to subdue him.”

“they were annoying as fuck. they were in class b.” he spat.

“were you in class b?”

“hell no!” bakugo seemed offended at this also. “i was in class a. the best.”

“ahh, right.” you nodded as though this were obvious from the start.

“shut up.” bakugo grumbled, taking another sip of his coffee.

“so how was work?” you decide to change the subject. you were having to do this an awful lot today, you noticed. he seemed especially grumpy.

“tiring as shit.” he tched.

“did you get any villains?” you smiled. you figured that if he was feeling down, an ego boost would make him feel better. he looked up from his coffee. you had him hooked.

“…yeah.” he answered. “yeah, i did.”

“how many?” now he grinned that vicious grin of his that could, frankly, be borderline sadistic.

“twelve. beat their asses. they didn’t even stand a chance.” he boasted.

“obviously.” you smiled, leaning against the counter, “because you’re the number one hero.”

“you’re damn right i am.” bakugo smirked. “one of ‘em tried to flee like a little bitch when he found out i was gonna beat his ass.”

“did he really?” you laugh. “you’ve got quite the reputation, then.”

“damn right i do.” you found yourself smiling as bakugo answered. sure, his ego was more blown up than the villains he’d encountered today, but you were happy he was at least feeling better. “i’m number one, ain’t i?”

“that you are.” you confirm. bakugo downed the rest of his coffee.

“yeah, well, i’ve gotta go.” he stood up. he narrowed his eyes and looked away, scowling. “thanks for the coffee, i guess.”

ah, he thanked you.

“of— of course.” you stammer, not expecting him to actually thank you but recovering quickly nonetheless.

“yeah, whatever.” bakugo turned to leave, then looked back at you briefly. he didn’t say a word, but you smiled and waved. he scoffed, looking annoyed. but he waved back, and you could see the barest trace of a smile tugging at his lips.

“are you doing alright?”

“just fuckin’ exhausted.”

The Witcher Headcanon (Modern AU) - Error 404 Brain Not Found: Bonus Scene - Part 5

Jaskier pushed the last armload of laundry into the washer and started the cycle.

"Do you think that's too much in there?" he asked Geralt.

"Hm."

"Yeah, you're right. There was still some room at the top."

If Yennefer had been home, she probably would have b*tched at them for not dividing the load. But she wasn't home at the moment, and she wouldn't be back until long after everything was washed, dried, and put away.

Satisfied with the situation, Jaskier and Geralt left the machine to do its job and went to do less boring things. Geralt went up to his room to play with customize his new horse figurine.

Jaskier sat on the floor in the laundry room and made up an impromptu song about laundry, which led to him scribbling down some notes for a song about a poor laundry lass who fell in love with a tanner's son, married him, then ended up washing him and hanging him out on the washing line because she couldn't stand the smell.

Once the clothes were dry, folded, and put away, Jaskier was taking his basket back to the laundry room. He paused at the top of the stairs and turned to ask Geralt something. Then he turned back around. He stared at the stairs, then at the basket in his hands.

Intrusive Thoughts: What if we...?

Jaskier: No, that only works in movies. And they use stuntmen.

Intrusive Thoughts: If a stuntman can do it, so can we!"

Jaskier: But I'm not a stuntman."

Intrusive Thoughts: It's just physics! Center of gravity and mass and all that! It's all about balance! Come on, it will be fun! Just like going down a slide!

Geralt saw Jaskier look at the stairs, then at the basket, and before he could blink, Jaskier was sitting in his clothes basket and sliding down the stairs with a small scream.

Jaskier hit the bottom and tumbled out, then lay on the floor laughing his a** off while Geralt rushed down the stairs to see if he was alright. Jaskier got up with an excited whoop. "Geralt, did ye see that? That was f***ing awesome! Ye have to try it!"

Geralt had indeed seen it. And it had looked f***ing awesome. But his sense of self-preservation was screaming at him that it was a very bad idea. Not because he could get hurt. He was a Witcher, and he had incredible balance, strength, and reflexes. The chance of him injuring himself was minimal.

No, what he was afraid of was either breaking something they couldn't hide or fix before Yennefer got home, or Jaskier getting seriously hurt and Yennefer finding out.

The witch would straight up murder his a**, bury him in her garden somewhere, and claim he'd never come back from a contract. It was best to err on the side of caution.

But then again... Geralt watched as Jaskier took another turn going down the stairs, screaming delightedly and cackling as he got to the bottom. Geralt shook his head and marched upstairs. He retrieved his basket from where he'd dropped it and turned to march down the stairs, fully intending to retrun it to the laundry room.

He hesitated, looking down the lenght of the carpeted slope of steps.

No. He was a mature f***ing adult!

But Jaskier was standing there, smiling and laughing, and throwing all kinds of encouragement at him.

No, no he was not going to get sucked into the shenanigans!

But then Jaskier started chanting "Do it! Do it! Do it!"

All of Geralt's brain cells left the chat, leaving only one small neuron flickering just enough for him to think "LEEERROOOOYYYY JEEEEEEEENNNNKINS!" before he went bumping down the stairs in his laundry basket.

Half way down, he tipped forward and tumbled the rest of the way down. Jaskier was laughing breathlessly by the time Geralt reached the bottom and rolled sidways out of the basket. Jaskier was rolling on the floor, holding his sides and howling with laughter along side Geralt.

A look passed between them, and seconds later they were rushing back upstairs.

"You have to lean back a little, so you don't go ar*e over elbow!" Jaskier suggested as Geralt settled himself in the basket for another go.

Geralt tried the suggestion, with slightly better results. After hitting the wall hard enough to have to re-hang one of Yennefer and Jaskier's Awkward Sibling Photoshoot pictures, Geralt had piled a bunch of pillows and couch cushions on the floor around the foot of the stairs and against the wall.

They took turns sliding down with varying degress of success and a sh*t ton of laughing. It turned out Jaskier's first two slides had been beginner's luck. There were spills, tumbles, curses, and a lot of laughing.

"We should try going down at the same time!" Jaskier said as he got up after his latest trip down.

"We won't fit in the same basket!"

"For f**k's-! No, not in the same basket, just at the same time!" Jaskier had grabbed both laundry baskets and set them at the top of the stairs, one behind the other. "Like this!"

Jaskier sat in the basket in front, bracing himself with his legs over the sides so he wouldn't go flying down before he could show Geralt what to do. "Now, you sit in the back one and stick your legs in my basket."

It took a little bit of maneuvering, but they finally ened up with a very short laundry basket 'train'.

"Ready?" Jaskier asked after they were both situated.

"Hm!"

"One...twothreegooooo!" Jaskier shouted, picking his feet up and using the hand rail to pull them forward. They started sliding, and there was no going back. They had gotten the balance right, for the first two seconds, and then the leading edge of Jaskier's basket dipped too far down, and the whole thing went tits up.

It was at that moment that the front door swung open. Yennefer walked in just in time to see what appeared to be Geralt and Jaskier falling down the stairs. She gasped in horror as they tumbled over each other before reaching the bottom, landing in a heap.

She was fluttering around them in panic, bombarding them with questions, and thinking surely one of them hand broken their neck. Her concern turned to confusion as Jaskier and Geralt had untangled themselves and slowly gotten to their feet.

"What happened? Are you alright?"

Neither one of them were looking her in the eye, which Yennefer had found highly suspicious. "What did you do?" she'd asked, her tone low and almost threatening.

Geralt had looked at Jaskier, and Jaskier had started grinning like an idiot. Geralt had made a valiant attempt to keep a straight face, but the strain had given him a constipated look. Jaskier had taken one look at Geralt's "pooping face" and had giggling, which had made Geralt start giggling.

Jaskier: *giggle snort* LaUnDrY!

Yennefer narrowed her eyes at him and said flatly, "Laundry," in a tone that suggested she knew d*mn well they had been doing no such thing.

Yennefer had already surveyed the scene and taken in the little details: the baskets, the stratiegic piles of pillows and cushions, the two giggling morons...

"You two ar**holes went down the stairs in the laundry baskets, didn't you!" she'd said accusingly.

By now, the two of them were trying very hard not to look at each other.

Jaskier was practically vibrating with the effort of holding in the laughter that was trying to escape.

Geralt felt Jaskier start turning his head beside him, and hissed desperately at him through their mental link "Don't you dare f***ing look at me!"

"Look at the two of you!" Yennefer snapped in exhasperation, "Not a thought behind your eyes!"

Geralt saw Jaskier twitch out of the corner of his eye, and heard him snort. That was all it took. The two of them burst into outright laughter.

Yennefer sighed and used her magic to reinforce the laundry baskets, make them big enough to hold the two grown adults, and make them 'crash proof'.

"Here, " she said, tossing the baskets at them, "At least do it right so I don't have to bring out the Dumba** Band-aids." Then she went to take a shower and listen to them whooping excitedly as they went back to their game.

what do you think of redblood mutants

I know who this is, -^-nd if you think I don’t then you’re sorely fisht-^-ken.

I suppose I’ll -^-nswer, though.

Redblood mut-^-nts seem to be the most common type of blood mut-^-tion. Or if they weren’t culled -^-s soon -^-s they h-^-tched, they would be. Truthfully, I’ve been thinking of -^-dding them to the c-^-ste system under my reign. If they reely -^-re -^-s common -^-s they seem to be, it wouldn’t be TH-^-T b-^-d to h-^-ve to m-^-ke room for them in the empire. I’m thinking they could go right under burgundy, if we truly were -^-dding them to the system.

But it’s not my fin-^-l decision, -^-nd I’m not the empress yet, so.

[sizzlingpatrolfox]

I agree with your anon, yeah I'm sorry jk's stalked (I'd still like to remind everyone how fans were applauding him for being a rebel for doing lives however and whenever he wanted but now no one likes to mention that) but look how he speaks out once it bothers HIM. It's so funny how similar his tone was to when th b*tched on weverse when it was smth he wanted to speak out on yet both never cared for the harm their shippers cause and lets not fool ourselves they're well aware of it all. I also agree to an extend when pjms say jm had serious criminal violation of privacy involving his documents and active death threats and he never made a victim of himself and none of those things can be said to have been fueled by his own actions either.

I personally think lives from his house are okay and shouldn't pose any danger. It all started when BTS went into hiatus and I'm sure all angles were considered, both from the company and the members themselves (about doing lives from their homes).

However, I've always said that his words and behavior was dangerous. Falling asleep on camera, the continuous and excessive flirting, help me wash up, do you want me to pick you up from work, yes this is a date, we're on a date. It's all stuff he says to the fans from inside of his house. It gives people the wrong idea. He's made himself seem available to the fans. I've always said that I don't think it's appropriate of him to make such comments.

I'm not justifying stalkers, and I've said that BTS members do put boundaries but fans usually don't care anyways and they cross those lines. People will always cross the line somehow. But I do believe Jungkook could've avoided this. Of course, he probably didn't think it was possible for something like this to happen.

Everyone knows where all the members live, yet Jungkook seems to be the only one who goes through stalking and/or invasion of privacy like this. It has happened twice already in two months? I'm sure the other members also get followed around and stalked, maybe to a lesser degree, but only going from what we know, there's a pattern.

I couldn't help thinking too that there's an element of image in rejecting the fans food. Aside from the obvious danger in eating something a stranger left at your door, it would reflect really bad on him to accept people buying food for him. Fansites used to send expensive and copious amounts of gifts to BTS until 2017. After DNA, BTS said they would no longer accept material presents from fans, only letters were allowed. I couldn't help but to think about that, too. A multimillionaire accepting food from fans. He just can't, from several moral standpoints.

There is no excuse for what happened to Jimin with his insurance issue. And yes, it was criminal. As weird as sending food or gifts to someone who didn't ask for them can be, it's not a criminal act. But having your house documents and personal ID numbers stolen and leaked, it is a criminal act. Not to mention it was apparently Jungkook stans / taekookers who leaked it. Any other company would've already had something resolved on the case but instead hybe just said "oops, my bad" and moved on. I don't think there's anything Jimin could've said anyways because the damage was already done, the information was out there already, and he isn't really one to go out and talk about his personal life like that. Even more considering that it wasn't even his fault, since the company was in charge of his medical insurance.

B!tched Chapter 41 is up! 18+, Explicit, mind the tags. Excerpt:

A deep pulse of foreboding ripples through you. It’s been there since yesterday, festering under your more salient anxiety. “Um…sensei?” you venture after a pause. His eyes flick to yours. “Is…Nobody’s reputation really that bad?” “Tch,” he responds on impulse, but he leans back and considers his answer before giving you a more meaningful reply. “There are many philosophies when it comes to hero work,” he says, picking his words carefully. “For some, hero work is a path to fame and money, and pro heroes are not much better than glorified celebrities. For others…” He pauses, searching for what he wants to say. His scowl deepens. “For others, heroes are public servants who renounce all personal goals, desires, and self-interest when they go pro. Heroes are a means to an end, tools to be used for the greater good. That’s Nobody’s approach.” You furrow your brow. “But…isn’t that what a hero is? Heroes are good guys who put everything on the line to make the world a better place. Right?” Aizawa closes his eyes and sighs deeply. When he opens them again, he looks achingly tired. “Heroes are people, Kirishima,” he says. He picks up his tea again. “And that’s the problem with Nobody.”

Read on AO3!

So I watched most of B's stream from yesterday and I have some thoughts.

For one thing, I can understand why some people thought that community tab post was about Tyra. It strikes me as a little odd that B would post something like that, without context or clarification and then seemingly be surprised when other people thought it was about Tyra. I get that she may have real-life stuff that that message applied to,and that she may well have thought that other people on YT could relate to it as well. But the most obvious situation anyone looking at B's Youtube community tab would have to relate it to would be Tyra's life circumstances. I'm not bashing B here. It's just a bit obtuse to me, that she didn't realize what was going to happen there.

Now, as for Tyra's new batch of "detractors", I think Tyra's coverage of the Jessica Kent crap has introduced her, for better or worse, to an entirely new audience of people who are not necessarily familiar with Tyra's history and the things she been through over the last few years.

Of course the fact that her old channel got axed allegedly because Jessica Kent couldn't take criticism doesn't help matters because now these people who want deep dives on her only have her enemies to look to for information on her. As opposed to being able to look at what Tyra herself has had to say about a lot of the sht that's happened.

I lucked out in managing to watch so much of her older content before her channel got terminated, so I was able to hear from HER, her side of all the mess. Melissa at one point in B's chat yesterday, basically told people to go look at Steph's channel if they wanted to see Tyra get called out, to which one of the newer people said "I love Steph.". And this disturbs me, BECAUSE Tyra's older content is no longer available. Steph's accounts of certain things weren't exactly fair, and now all these people who already don't like Tyra have no opportunity to see her side of anything Steph b*tched about.

And I'm sorry, but Melissa running her mouth about Tyra, even if it's in Tyra's defense, irritates me. Specifically because she cosigned so much of Steph's unfair and exaggerated bs concerning Tyra. When Steph did things like trivializing violent hate crimes to bash Tyra for saying a word, while misleading people about Tyra's relationship with that word, Melissa was right there, cheering it on. And I also think it's bullsh*t that Melissa is "mad" about "having to" defend someone she doesn't like... It's like, you don't actually HAVE to defend this person, Melissa. If you don't want to defend Tyra, don't defend Tyra.

So many of these people act like they're just being put upon to have to talk about this sht, but actions speak louder than words. Steph told us last year, that she was leaving, possibly even going to delete her channel, and that IF she ever came back it WASN'T going to be for this community. But she's still here, saying "it's just continuous" as if she's being forced to engage.

One Moment Too Late Shoji x Suicidal Reader

"Mom, do I have to bring her with me to the park? Can't she just stay home with you?" Katsuki asked, noticing his sister walking down the stairs.

"Katsuki, she would stay here with me if I didn't have a million things to do around here. She's going to the park with you. This bitch causes me enough trouble as it is." Mitsuki said, looking at her son.

Katsuki groaned, and pushed Bailey away from him, just as she walked over. "Why do this, Katsuki? Don't you love me?" She asked, looking up at her explosive brother. Bakugo tched, and looked away annoyed.

"Come on you brats. I'm taking you to the park, and I'm asking Inko to watch the both of you." Mitsuki said, leaving the house with Katsuki and Bailey. She knew that her brother had already gotten his quirk, and she was already fully aware that her life would be even more of a nightmare.

Once the three of them arrived at the park, Bailey and Katsuki immediately saw Izuku. Katsuki ran over to him, and whispered something. As soon as Bailey noticed the look both Katsuki and Izuku were giving her, she knew what was about to happen.

She put both arms in front of her face, and was prepared to get hit with her brother's quirk. Katsuki created the biggest explosion he could, and sent it towards her. She immediately went flying across the park, and had hit a tree hard.

She rightfully groaned in pain, and tried to stand. She was able to stand....but only by leaning against the tree for support. Once Midoriya saw her standing, he told Bakugo to create an even bigger explosion and send it in her direction.

Why does Midoriya have to encourage him? He's only making things worse for me. I mean, look at me! I can barely even stand after that first hit. I can't take another one....not without getting killed in the process.

She was quickly pulled from her thoughts by getting hit with an even bigger and more powerful explosion...

By this point, she had fell unconscious, and was going to be on the brink of death if her brother sent another explosion her way. Before anything could happen, however, Inko had seen the whole thing, and immediately ran over to Bailey.

She immediately called for an ambulance, and said that Mitsuki would be hearing from her about what happened with Katsuki and Izuku just now.

"The Old Hag isn't going to care about what happened. She doesn't even care about Bailey to begin with. The Old Hag calls her a 'little bitch' all the time, anyways. And Dad isn't much better. He enjoys being around me way more than Bailey." Katsuki said, glaring at his unconscious sister.

Inko couldn't believe what she just heard. She immediately called one of her friends, and asked them to look after Izuku while she took Bailey to the hospital.

Once Wendy arrived, she told Inko to get to the hospital, and she'll watch Izuku. Inko then got in her car, and sped off to the hospital. Once she got there, she immediately rushed Bailey inside.

"Ms. Midoriya, it's a miracle that you got her here when you did. Any later, and it could've been too late. She's going to be just fine; she's just in a coma right now. What happened to her, anyways?" The doctor said, looking at Inko.

Inko explained what happened, and watched the doctor's face go from a worried look, to one of absolute horror. "Oh my god. Does her mother know about this?" The doctor questioned, not expecting Inko's next answer.

"No, she doesn't. According to Bailey's brother, Katsuki, their mom, Mitsuki doesn't care about Bailey at all. Their mom calls her the 'b' word, and their dad is just as bad." Inko said, sadly. "I have to make a call." Was all the doctor said, before walking out of the room horrified.

Inko turned to look at Bailey, and gently held her hand, rubbing her thumb on her knuckles. "I'm so sorry, Bailey. If I would've known that Katsuki was going to do that to you, I would've stepped in sooner. I'm going to do everything that I can to make sure that this never happens again." Inko said, crying.

About a week later Bailey had finally woken up, and had been discharged from the hospital. As soon as Inko heard the news, she immediately made her way to the hospital to see the latter.

"Inko!" She squealed once Inko walked in. "Bailey! You're finally awake!" Inko said tearfully, running up to the latter. The two of them embraced, and have never been happier to see each other.

As the two of them were walking to Inko's car, Bailey couldn't help but to smile brightly.

Once back at Mitsuki's house, Bailey thanked Inko for the ride, and walked up to the door. As soon as Mitsuki opened the door, she smiled at Inko, and nicely told her daughter to get inside.

Once Inko left, Mitsuki closed the door, and turned to look at Bailey. "You little-" "I know, Mom. 'You little bitch, where were you? A pathetic child like me should be able to handle Katsuki's explosions. And also, where's my quirk? I should've gotten it when I was born. What's a pathetic quirkless kid like me even doing with my life? How will I ever do anything without a quirk? I need to have a quirk if I want to be successful in this society. Blah, blah, blah. And...oh, right. How could I forget? Even Inko's kid, Izuku would be better than me. Because at least he has potential, and he might actually amount to something in the future.' Right?" Bailey interrupted, already knowing what her mom was going to say.

Mitsuki stood there speechless, and watched as the latter went upstairs to her room. "Bailey!" She finally said, after about five minutes. "Don't you dare use that kind of language with me ever again, understand?"

"Whatever, Mom. Oh, by the way, tell Katsuki the same thing! And also, I don't know if you know or not, but he calls you an Old Hag! And I'm actually starting to agree with him, Old Prune!" Bailey called from her room.

Mitsuki was about to walk upstairs, but Katsuki stopped her. "Mom, where's my bratty sister? I can't find her anywhere." "Don't bother, Katsuki. She's upstairs in her room, and in a bad mood. Wait, why do you actually care where she is? Don't tell me that you actually care for that bitchy brat." Mitsuki said, looking at Katsuki.

"Don't worry about it, Old Hag. I'm going upstairs. Tell dad to check his phone, because there's something he needs to know about." Katsuki said, walking upstairs and heading to Bailey’s room.

As per usual, Katsuki just barged into her room without bothering to knock first. "The hell do you want, asshole?" She asked, not caring to face her brother.

Katsuki smirked, already activating his quirk. "Don't play stupid with me, Idiot. You know exactly what I want. Why else would I come to your room, and just let myself in without knocking?" He said, smiling devilishly.

"Can we do that later? I'm not in the mood right now. Come back in like an hour, and then we can-" "No, we're doing that now." Katsuki interrupted, shoving his sister to the ground. She rolled your eyes, and barely had enough time to dodge his punch.

She was about to yell at him to stop, but before she could even say anything, he had punched her in the face, and burned her. The fire from his explosion was enough to give her a second degree burn, and would leave her face permanently scarred.

Without realizing that what he just did would scar, Katsuki had hit Bailey with several more medium sized explosions. Without thinking, she screamed something that she would later on regret.

"Why don't you just go ahead and kill me already, Katsuki?! I'm better off dead, anyway!" Katsuki smirked, and created the biggest and most powerful explosion he could. Before Bailey even had a chance to process what was happening, he jumped in the air, and hit her with as much force as he could, swinging his arms down, and hitting her.

All that could be heard throughout the house was an explosion, and Katsuki laughing maniacally. Mitsuki ran upstairs and immediately headed to Bailey’s room. As she was standing in the doorway, she immediately froze.

Bailey was on the floor in the middle of her room, and Katsuki was standing over her, smirking. Mitsuki immediately ran over to her daughter, and checked if she was still breathing. Once she realized that Bailey’s pulse was slowing down, she immediately called for an ambulance, and went with them to the hospital.

Or at least, that's what Bailey was hoping would happen. But nope. This is actually what happened...

Once Mitsuki heard the explosion, she just thought that Katsuki was seeing how big he could make his explosions...since that's what he almost always did; and she had gotten used to hearing his explosions from across the house.

Katsuki had ran downstairs and headed for the kitchen to look for his mom. Once he saw Mitsuki in the kitchen, he immediately ran over to her. "Mom, it's Bailey! Come quick! I think she just tried to...y'know." Katsuki said, fake fear laced in his voice.

Mitsuki just looked at him, and asked if she was still breathing. "I dunno, I just heard something drop in her room, and went to go see what happened. You need to come look."

Mitsuki smiled softly. "You really think that I'm dumb enough to fall for something like that? Please. I know you, Katsuki. I also know the little bitch, and if she did try to do something like that, well, it's her own fault if her life gets cut short. One less brat for me to worry about. Anyways, go ask your dad what he wants for breakfast. And, (loudly) Bailey, get your ass down here! That is, if you even care to eat! Otherwise, I'll just give your food to Katsuki!" Mitsuki said, seeing right through the latter.

The one time Masaru actually cared enough to be around his daughter was to get her, and tell jer that Katsuki was going to eat her food if she didn't come downstairs. But, when he walked into her room, he gasped in shock when he saw her laying on the floor, with a severe second degree burn on her face.

He walked over to her, and immediately tried to find her pulse. When he did find it, he was shocked to know that it was fading fast, but what he was honestly more concerned about was the fact that Bailey wasn’t dead yet.

He set her on the bed, and immediately ran downstairs and told Mitsuki what just happened. The both of them then looked at Katsuki with a disappointed look. At first, Katsuki thought that he was in trouble for nearly killing his sister, but was shocked when Mitsuki told him that he should've used an even bigger explosion.

He was taken aback by his mother's words.

Wow, they must really not care about Bailey if they think that I should've gone with an even more powerful explosion. I mean, it's not like I care about her either, but this isn't right. I've gotta try to call Deku's mom and see if she can help. As much as I hate Bailey, Mom and Dad are the worst parents ever for her. I mean, I know I'm not a good big brother, but at least I care enough to want to call Deku's mom.

Katsuki immediately ran back upstairs and grabbed the phone and called Inko for help. "Hello? Ms. Midoriya? It's Katsuki, and I'm calling because it's Bailey. Mom and Dad don't care about what's happening with her, but she needs the hospital. I...almost killed her. She's in her room, and she's barely breathing! She's got a huge burn on her face because of me, and she's unconscious. I don't know what to do....and my mom and dad aren't helping! They don't actually care that Bailey is on the brink of death!" Katsuki said, slight fear laced in his voice.

Inko told Katsuki to stay on the phone with her, and that she was on the way over. As soon as she arrived, she immediately flung the door open, and ran upstairs to Bailey’s room.

As she was running up the stairs, Katsuki hung up the phone and waited for Inko. As soon as she got to the doorway of Bailey’s room, she was horrified to see what Katsuki did to her. She walked over, and immediately noticed that Bailey’s breathing was slowing down, so she picked her up, and told Katsuki to tell Mitsuki that she was taking Bailey to the hospital.

Inko immediately brought Bailey downstairs and rushed to her car. "Inko?" Mitsuki asked, noticing Inko carrying her daughter. "Why are you here, and what are you doing with Bailey? Don't tell me that you actually care for this little brat. She's a bitch."

Inko couldn't stand hearing Mitsuki talk about her own daughter that way, so she just ignored her and got Bailey in the car. Inko got into the driver's seat, and immediately sped off to the hospital.

Upon arriving, she immediately rushed Bailey in, and was able to get her to a room almost immediately. The minute everyone saw her, they all knew that whatever happened was very serious.

Just by looking at Bailey, everyone almost immediately knew that the burn on her face would end up scarring, and could possibly blind her with how severe it was.

As soon as a doctor walked in, he immediately saw the worried look on Inko's face, and immediately noticed Bailey. "What happened to her? Was she trapped inside a burning building or something?" The doctor asked, looking at Inko.

Inko slowly shook her head, and began crying. "What actually happened was her brother, Katsuki, had used his quirk on her repeatedly. And he told his mom and dad what he had done, but they just brushed it off. Katsuki told me that they said that they were disappointed in him; not disappointed with him for doing this to Bailey...but rather disappointed in him that he didn't actually kill her. They'd rather have a dead daughter, and just a son, than rather trying to protect their only daughter from her own brother." Inko said, looking at the doctor sadly.

The doctor couldn't believe what he just heard. After he gave Bailey a thorough check up, and realized that she was in a coma, he knew that she couldn't be sent back home. "Ms. Midoriya, do you know if there's anything going on at home that I should know about?" The doctor asked, looking at her.

Inko didn't want to answer the doctor's question...because she knew that if Katsuki had done this to his own sister, Mitsuki could probably be capable of doing something way worse.

She did remember something that Katsuki had said to her, which explained a little bit about Bailey's relationship with Mitsuki.

Inko didn’t want to answer the doctor’s question…because she knew that if Katsuki had done this to his own sister, Mitsuki could probably be capable of doing something way worse.

“‘She doesn’t even care about Bailey to begin with. The Old Hag calls her a ‘little bitch’ all the time, anyways. And Dad isn’t much better. He enjoys being around me way more than Bratty Bitchy Bailey.”

Inko looked at the doctor sadly, knowing that she had to say something about it. “Yes, there is, in fact.” Inko muttered softly.

“Bailey’s mom, Mitsuki Bakugo, verbally abuses her, and her dad isn’t much better. Her dad seems to neglect her, while Mitsuki on the other hand, calls Bailey the ‘b’ word. Her entire family mistreats her, and really only seems to care when it’s convenient for them.” Inko said, tearfully.

The doctor nodded, and said that he would be right back, he just had to make a quick phone call.

Little did Inko know though, the doctor was actually hoping to get Bailey away from her family by calling CPS.

After a few minutes pass, the doctor walked back in, and said he had news. “The good news is that Bailey isn’t going to be living with the Bakugo’s anymore. The bad news however, is that she’s going to be put in foster care…until she starts middle school, or high school. Also, her family will not be allowed to contact her foster parents, or get ahold of her ever again.”

Inko was thrilled to hear that Bailey wasn’t going to be living with the Bakugo’s anymore.

The doctor also told Inko that due to the severity of the burn, Bailey had a very high chance of being permanently blind for the rest of her life. Inko’s heart dropped upon hearing that.

This’ll just give Katsuki another reason to bully Bailey, and make her life even more miserable and even more of a nightmare. What will Mitsuki think? Who am I kidding? She’s not going to care at all. She already seems to hate Bailey, so if she finds out about this, she’ll hate Bailey even more.

Inko had so many thoughts going through her head, that she could only think of the worst possible outcomes. The doctor tapped her on the shoulder, trying to get her attention. She quickly snapped out of her thoughts, and immediately looked at the doctor.

“I promise that me and the medical staff here will do everything we can to help Bailey. No guarantees though.” The doctor said, looking at Inko sadly. Inko nodded in understanding, and said that she was happy to hear that Bailey wasn’t going to be going back home with her family.

“Well, thank you, doctor.” Inko said, wiping her tears. Once Inko got back home, she called Izuku’s name, and told him that she wanted to talk to him. “Yeah, Mom? What is it?” He asked, smiling happily.

“Son, I want you to tell me why you and Katsuki were picking on Bailey the other day at the park. I heard you encouraging him to hit Bailey with more of his explosions, and make them even bigger and more powerful than the last.”

Deku asked what his mom was talking about, because he wasn’t encouraging Bakugo at all. “I was trying to stop him, Mom. But he wouldn’t listen to me. I tried to get in front of Bailey to protect her, but I wasn’t fast enough. That’s why she got hit. I would’ve pushed her out of the way, but I wasn’t close enough to her to do that.”

Into grabbed her son by the hand, and sat him down in a chair in the hallway. She was very stern with her words, as she told him to stay there until he was told he could get up. He sat down, crossed his arms, and huffed annoyedly.

He turned to the side, and watched as his mom went back into the kitchen. “Don’t even think about getting up, Izuku. You are in trouble. The reason I set you down right there is because you just lied to me twice. Not to mention the fact, that you were, and have been bullying Bailey since the two of you met. I’m very disappointed in you, Izuku.”

Deku heard the sadness in his mom’s voice, and started quietly grumbling to himself. While that was happening, Katsuki went into Bailey’s room, and started setting off his explosions. In only 5 minutes, he had completely turned her room upside down.

As soon as Mitsuki saw what happened to her daughter’s room, she told Katsuki that she wanted everything thing completely destroyed and broken. Hearing this made his eyes widen. As soon as Mitsuki left the room, Katsuki continued destroying his sister’s room, until there was almost nothing left to break.

After seeing Bailey’s room, Mitsuki patted Katsuki on the head, and told him that he did a good job. However, when Masaru saw Bailey’s room, he was mad at Katsuki. “Why did you do that, Katsuki? None of the stuff in that room was yours to break! That was your sister’s stuff! When she gets back home, the first thing I want you do is apologize to her, and say it like you actually mean it!”

Katsuki just scoffed, as he rolled his eyes. “Whatever you say, Old Man. The Old Hag praises me, but you dispraise me? What the hell?”

Katsuki grumbled back to his room, before laying on his bed, and thinking about what else he could’ve done to Bailey.

Waking up to the smell of pancakes, Bailey got out of bed, grabbed her mask from her nightstand, and walked downstairs. “Morning, Ms. Bella. Do you need any help with anything?”

“Good morning to you too, Bailey. No, I’m just about done preparing breakfast. Thank you though. Go ahead, and take a seat. I’ll bring you some pancakes. Do you want any bacon or sausage with your pancakes?”

Bailey asked for two pieces of bacon, some eggs, and some hashbrowns. Ms. Bella walked over, and told her to help herself and to dig in. “Arigato, Ms. Bella. You always make the best food. After breakfast I’m going to make my lunch, and then start getting ready for school.”

Ms. Bella told Bailey that she had already made her lunch, and it was in the fridge. Bailey smiled happily, and continued eating. When she was done, she brought her dishes to the sink, and began cleaning them. “Oh Bailey, don’t worry about doing that dear, I’ll take care of it. You go get ready for school.”

Bailey told her that it was fine, and that she didn’t mind doing the dishes. She said that washing dishes actually made her happy, and so did having a loving caring guardian.

After cleaning the dishes, Bailey went back upstairs, and made sure she had everything ready for school, before doing her makeup. “I still can’t believe I was in another coma for three years. Why does all of this have to happen to me? Why was my brother such an asshole to me? And why did Midoriya always have to encourage him? What is wrong with people? Why couldn’t the two of them just leave me alone?” Bailey said quietly to herself, as she was putting her notebooks in her backpack.

Walking back downstairs, Ms. Bella handed Bailey her bento box, and walked her out the door. “Wait, I almost forgot my mask.” Bailey said, grabbing said mask off the counter. She walked back over to the front door, and waved Ms. Bella off.

Walking down the street, Bailey put her mask on, and checked the camera on her phone. After thinking the mask looked good enough, she put her phone away, and continued walking to school.

She called Shoji, and asked to meet him at the corner like usual. “Sure thing, Princess. I’ll be right there. Also, I got something for you.” Bailey’s eyes lit up, as she picked up her pace.

Soon arriving at the corner, she noticed Shoji in the distance, and ran towards him. “Octo-Guy! How are you?” She said, throwing herself in his arms. He chuckled softly, and hugged her back. “I’m good, what about you, Princess?” He picked her up, and spun her around.

Setting her back down, she placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, and asked to walk hand in hand the rest of the way to school. He nodded, as he slipped his hand in hers, and interlocked their fingers. “You don’t have to wear that mask around me, Princess. You know I’ll never judge you.”

“Arigato, Octo, but I-I don’t know. I mean, I know I don’t have to wear it around you; I mean, you’ve seen my face before…but, I guess I’m just insecure about other people seeing my face without my mask.”

“You’re very beautiful to me, Princess. And I don’t think anything will ever change that. I love you with or without your mask. If I could, I’d love to see you without your mask every day. I don’t care what other people think about you, I love you for you; scars and all.”

Shoji hugged her tightly, and felt his shoulder become damp. Bailey sobbed quietly, before getting picked up bridal style by her best friend. She cried into his chest, and rested her head on his chest the whole way to school.

She must’ve not realized it, but she ended up passing out, and was gently woken up by Shoji. He set her down, and fixed her mask for her. Placing a gentle kiss on her cheek, the two walked inside the school, and took their seats once they got to class.

Seeing as Mr. Aizawa was running late, Mina shot her acid towards Bailey, while Sero used his tape to stick her to the wall. She grunted just as she was slammed against the wall, before having her brother send one of his explosions at her.

“Octo, help me!” Bailey yelled, trying to get her arms out of Sero’s tape. Mina warned him that if he helped her, then she would get her acid on him, and destroy his mask. He didn’t seem to care, until Denki threatened to use his quirk on him.

Tsu used her tongue to smack Bailey across the face, before Todoroki used his quirk to freeze part of her, and burn the other half. Her left arms was completely burned up to her elbow, while her entire right arm was covered in ice.

Sato threw a pie he had made in her face, and stepped back, as Ojiro had swung his tail. Iida walked over, but made sure he wasn’t too close to get hit by Ojiro. He began trying to lecture her about standing up for herself, but got kicked in the face.

Kirishima waited until Ojiro was done hitting her with his tail, before walking over. He activated his quirk, and began cutting her wherever he could reach. Deku and her brother began insulting her, while her brother also kept hitting her with his quirk.

Hagakure did her best to insult Bailey, but it wasn’t as bad as Deku or Katsuki himself. “You’re so lame, Bailey! How did you even get accepted into this school if you were born quirkless?”

Jiro stuck her jacks into Bailey’s ear, and nearly made her go deaf. “What the hell Jiro? You almost busted my eardrum! What the fuck?!”

Just as Momo finished making something, Mr. Aizawa had walked in, which made everyone freeze. He didn’t seem to be paying attention, which gave everyone barely enough time to get back to their seats, and deactivate all of their quirks.

“Sorry about that class, Mic had talked my ear off the whole way to my classroom. I couldn’t get him to shut up, even after erasing his quirk. Anyway-“ he looked over at the wall, and noticed Bailey.

“I’m not going to ask what happened-“ “It was Bakugo, Mr. Aizawa.” Sero said, looking at his teacher. Aizawa looked at the ash blonde, and asked him what exactly happened. Sero told his teacher that Bakugo had asked to use his tape so he could stick Bailey to the wall, and if he refused, then Bakugo would use his quirk.

Sero continued by saying that Bakugo had threatened nearly the whole class, but only himself seemed to listen. “Mina, Denki, YaoMomo, Todoroki, and everyone else just looked at Bakugo, and didn’t seem bothered by his threat of using his quirk on all of us. Ojiro and Shoji both tried to tell him to stop, but he didn’t listen. He then walked over to Bailey and stuck her against the wall using my tape, and began using his quirk on her.”

As Sero continued lying about what happened, Aizawa had told Shoji to help Bailey down, and make sure she was alright. He nodded, and helped her down. “Mezo,” she quietly sobbed into his chest, hugging him tightly.

“What an absolute little bitch.” Katsuki said, staring at her. Hearing that awful insult from her brother got Bailey to stop crying. She looked over at her brother, and glared at him. “What did you just call me, Katsuki? Did you just say what I think you said? Did you call me what Mom used to always call me growing up? A little bitch?!”

Bailey let go of Shoji, and walked over to her brother, and punched him in the face. Hearing a crunch, Bailey knew she most likely just broke her brother’s nose, but didn’t care. “Don’t call a bitch, you asshole. You know Mom’s called me that my whole life growing up. I hate it! Also, I never thanked you for permanently scarring my face. So let me do so now.”

Turning around, Bailey waved Shoji over, and asked him to help her remove her mask. He carefully took it off, and tried to fix her hair the best he could. Covering her face, Bailey slowly turned back around, lifted her head up, and removed her hands.

“This is what I’m thanking you for, Katsuki. You did this to me.” Everyone gasped, and couldn’t believe what happened to her face. “Everyone laughed at me when I left the hospital after waking up from my three year coma. After I left the hospital, my foster mother, Ms. Bella, had told me that I was no longer going to be going back home to stay with you. She also told me that Mom and Dad weren’t going to be allowed to have any contact with me or my new foster family. Guess what else I was told. If you did anything else to me, that would cause me to have to go back to the hospital again, or that nearly caused me death, or that hurt me in any way, I could get a restraining order against you. Once I heard that, that was the best news I’ve heard. Having no contact with Mom or Dad was a very close second. Speaking of which, I have my new Mom on speed dial.”

Calling Ms. Bella, Bailey told her what Katsuki had just done to her, and asked for the restraining order to be put in place. Ms. Bella said she was already on top of it, and just had just got the paper signed immediately after answering the phone.

Bailey looked at her brother, and smiled wickedly. “You’re not allowed to be within 10 feet of me, and you’re also not allowed to use your quirk on me or even try to. That’s your karma for ruining my life.”

“Wait Suzume, how do you and Bakubro know each other? Did you go to the same middle school or elementary school together or something?” Kirishima asked, looking at her.

Bailey told her classmates that while she and Katsuki did go to the same elementary school together, she was actually his younger sister. The whole class, except for Katsuki himself, Mr. Aizawa, and Shoji were all shocked.

“You’re siblings?!” Kirishima yelled, looking between the two. “You don’t even look alike! No offense.” Bailey told her classmates that after she got discharged from the hospital, she had cut, and dyed her hair, and changed her last name.

She then said that Shoji was the only one who she had told about her being Katsuki’s sister. “And none taken, Kirishima. The reason why I changed my name is because of Katsuki. If he hadn’t permanently scarred my face like this, then maybe things would be different.” Taking one look at Shoji, Bailey walked over to her seat, and put her head down.

She looks so dejected, and it’s no wonder after all she’s been through. I wish there was something I could do help her out.

Looking behind him, Shoji reached for Bailey’s head, and pat it gently. He then picked up her mask from the floor, and set it on her desk. “Mr. Aizawa,” someone suddenly spoke, catching Shoji’s attention. “Most of what Sero said was a lie, what actually happened was this.”

Shoji turned his attention to his classmate who was telling their teacher what actually happened. As Ojiro explained the situation, Denki’s, Deku’s, and Mina’s eyes narrowed, as they looked towards him. “Ojiro!” Mina hissed, drawing her teacher’s attention towards her.

Aizawa told his students that they all owed Bailey an apology, and making it up to her. Katsuki, of course, just scoffed at his teacher’s words, looked at his sister, and laughed under his breath.

Calling her a bitch again, Aizawa looked directly at the ash blonde, and told him to apologize. Vlad King walked into the classroom a few minutes later, and walked over to Bakugo.

He stood the latter up, and told him that he was taking him to the principal’s office. He looked at Aizawa and nodded, before making his leave, practically dragging the ash blonde behind him.

“Anyone else want another pro hero escorting them to see Principal Nezu? If not, then I’d highly suggest that you apologize to Suzume right now.” The whole class apologized to her, but in a mocking way. Shoji glared at his classmates, and gently tapped Bailey on the shoulder.

She picked her head up, and looked in front of her at her best friend. Shoji carefully helped her put her mask back on, then gestured to the door with his eyes. She nodded, and said she could use a break from her brother, and the rest of the class.

After school had ended, Bakugo sent an explosion towards his sister, and watched as it hit her. Mina went next, and flung her acid everywhere, getting most of it on Bailey. Todoroki had bound her hands together, and began using his fire side to burn her all over.

Ojiro took her phone from her, threw it on the ground, then repeatedly hit it with his tail, not stopping until it was completely broken. A handful of others joined in, and began using their quirks on her at the same time.

Sato had so many sugary snacks with him, that he devoured them in less than five minutes. With all the sugar coursing through his body, he punched Bailey in the stomach as hard as he could, causing her to cough up blood profusely.

He just laughed to himself before getting kicked in the face by her. Quietly humming to herself, Bailey began making her blood boil, and watched as her spilled blood began rising slowly. Suddenly she stopped humming, and her blood was just hovering above the ground.

Lifting her head up slowly, she exploded her blood, causing it to fly in every direction. Hitting nearly everyone in the chest, her blood just missed their hearts, and sent them flying backwards. Shoji noticed what was happening, and ran over to the group.

“Stop it, all of you! Don’t any of you remember what she showed us back in class? She’s got enough trauma that’s happened to her, and I’m sure she doesn’t want anymore! I can’t imagine everything she’s been through because of her own brother, but all of you guys are making her suffer even more!”

He shoved his classmates away from Bailey, and had been on the phone with their teacher before running over. “Bakugo, Mina, and Ojiro! What the hell are you three doing?! Have you no respect for our classmate who has been verbally abused her whole life?”

Hearing this, Aizawa ran out of the UA building, and headed to the park behind the school. He had his capture scarf with him, and was livid. His eyes were glowing a deep crimson, and he looked seriously pissed off.

As soon as he arrived at the park, he immediately noticed Shoji, who was doing his best to restrain a handful of his classmates. “Shoji! Let them go, and help Bailey! Leave your classmates to me!”

Quickly letting go of his classmates, Shoji ran towards the tree, and carefully untied the rope from around Bailey’s wrists. He only now realized that she had lost consciousness, so he picked her up, and carried her out of the park, and started making his way back to her house.

“Ms. Suzume, it’s Mezo. I have Bailey with me.” Ms. Bella opened the door, and let the two inside. Shoji walked over to the couch, and carefully laid Bailey down. “Ms. Suzume, I don’t know what happened exactly, but what I do know is that her brother, and a handful of our other classmates were at it again. They were bullying her, and someone ended up breaking her mask. I also noticed her phone was destroyed.”

Bailey had quietly gotten off the couch, and was already in her room. Hearing a door close caught Shoji’s attention, seeing as he began walking upstairs to find out what door had closed. Checking every room upstairs, he noticed all the doors were open, that was until he got to Bailey’s room.

He knew that Ms. Bella preferred the doors in her house to stay open, with the few exceptions, so seeing Bailey’s door closed, he knew something was wrong. “Princess, can you open the door please? I want to talk to you. You’re worrying and scaring me.”

The more he knocked, the more Bailey seemed to ignore him. He would’ve and could’ve stayed by her door, but he thought he heard Ms. Bella calling his name, so he walked downstairs, and into the kitchen. “Yes, Ms. Suzume? What can I do?”

Not hearing her best friends voice anymore, Bailey unlocked her door, and walked out of her room. Quietly making her way downstairs, Bailey snuck passed Shoji and Ms. Bella, and headed out the door, after leaving her note on the table for her best friend to find. Making her way to the train station, she took her phone out of her pocket, and went to her messages.

Seeing she had an unread text from Sero, she opened it, but wished she hadn’t.

‘Hey Ugly, why don’t you do the whole world a favor and just go die somewhere? Bakugo told me to tell that to you, since you blocked him. He also tells me that that your mom, your biological mom, said she never wanted you in the first place. I don’t know if that’s true or not, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was; considering that you told us yourself that she called you the ‘b’ word growing up, and continued that until you stopped staying with her and instead got put into foster care.’

Arriving at train station, Bailey walked onto the tracks, and had her arms to either side of her. ‘Hey Hanta Sero, to answer your question, guess where I currently am. Oh wait, it’s none of your business where I am. And yes, what Mitsuki said was and is true. She’s never cared about me, and neither has my biological father, Masaru. The only reason I was sent to foster care in the first place was because of my biological parents. Mainly my mother, because she verbally abused me my whole life, and my dad was never much better. While my mother verbally abused me, my father basically always neglected me. After I was sent to the hospital for a second time, that’s when I was told that I was going to be put in foster care. Fuck you, Hanta, and everyone else in class except for Mezo Shoji!’

Throwing her phone down in the grass, she walked over to the platform, and climbed down onto the tracks. Standing there, arms open, she had her back towards the tunnel, and waited for the train’s horn. As soon as the train came out of the tunnel, it smacked Bailey with such force, killing her nearly instantly.

‘My dearest Mezo Shoji,

I’m sorry to leave you, and Aizawa Sensei behind. I just couldn’t take the amount of bullying that was happening to me. My whole life my brother and Midoriya have been nothing but complete assholes to me. The both of them constantly pushed and shoved me around…and basically made me do EVERYTHING for them both. You’re the only one who has shown me what I’ve longed for my entire life…kindness. My mom constantly verbally abused me every time I tried to tell her about what Katsuki was doing…but she was always on his side. My dad wasn’t much better; he always ignored me, and barely even noticed me. He always had his attention on Katsuki. I’m very incredibly sorry to do this to you….especially considering the fact that our 2 year anniversary is coming up. I just wanted to be free. I just didn’t want to continue getting bullied.’

Reading the note, Shoji immediately started crying, left the house, and ran all the way down to the train station, hoping to make it in time. He tried calling Bailey over and over, but each time it went to voicemail. Shit! Please tell me she didn’t…

Finally arriving at the train station, Shoji ran down the steps, and over to the platform, hoping to see his best friend. In the corner of his eye, he noticed his best friend, and slowly walked over to her.

Taking one look at Bailey, made him step back, and look away. Seeing his best friend like this made him sick to his stomach. Bailey’s whole body was mangled, and her head seemed to have been spun around. Shoji sat a few feet away from her, and cried his eyes out.

His best friend was gone, and there was nothing that could be done. If only he hadn’t been one moment too late, then maybe Bailey Bakugo would still be alive.

THE FIRST PARAGRAPH:

If I say “I CANT DO THAT” it is not because I don’t want to. It’s because I can’t. Stop “trying” to make me feel bad for living in this body that *I* can’t escape. If you think I’m some sort of Inconvenience to you, you don’t have to be in my life. You do not have to exist here with me.

THE SECOND PARAGRAPH:

“Why do you allow your mental/physical illness (BUT LETS FACE THE TRUTH HERE: NOT A SINGLE PERSON HAS B*TCHED ABOUT ANY OF MY PHYSICAL ILLNESSES, only the MENTAL ONES) to get in the way of doing things? Or getting stuff done around the house?” Well, I’m glad you asked. Please refer back to Paragraph 1 to remind yourself of the whole “I don’t want to do that” vs “I CANT DO THAT.”

THE THIRD PARAGRAPH:

“My disability DOES hold me back sometimes. Having you constantly try and guilt me into doing things that my body can’t do then, is abuse. It is, whether or not you want to actually believe that is on you. I’m not going to push myself into vomiting, fainting, etc. all because YOU a think you need assistance with something. It won’t be me!

THE FOURTH PARAGRAPH:

“I can’t do some things. I can’t do a lot of things.

And it’s ok. I’m still worthy.”

& so are you!

Inventory count of entire store so I worked 9am to 12am yesterday & will be at it again today for recount.. despite my doctors telling me I need to avoid strain & stress. Last night the general manager b*tched at me because I didn't eat the salad one of the managers bought me (without asking me or confirming with me). ONE: DIETARY RESTRICTIONS. TWO: HEALTH ISSUES. THREE: EATING DISORDER. He is such a b*tch sometimes, my god. Just really out of place & impolite... & f*cking aggressive about something that could have been low key... also don't put ~my specially bought salad~ next to 3 trays of fried chicken. The smell was literally nauseating I couldn't even join the crew for dinner & it really set my stomach & gag reflexes off for the next 2 hours. Also, I'm recovering from a traumatic event & working 30 hours in two days, don't get aggressive & b*tchy at me, motherf*cker.
