134: 𝑈𝑛𝑙𝑖𝑘𝑒𝑙𝑦 𝑓𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑑𝑠
There was someone else in her room.
Bakugou tensed, his movable arm clinching into a defensive fist on instinct.
The other teen sat on a chair between the two beds in the room. He was holding a familiar device. A Nintendo switch that he was playing with practiced ease.
He had big eye bags and purple hair that seemed even messier than usual.
Shinsou.
Bakugou stood at the doorway. Stunned. He hadn't seen the guy since Kira told them all their plans to use his quirk on her. Now he was here?
"The hell are you doing here?" Bakugou asked him. His voice hoarser than usual. Shinsou didn't even look up, and his face showed no indication of surprise.
"Came to see my girlfriend." He said, his focus was still on the video game.
Bakugou glared. "She's not your fucking girlfriend." He snapped. He suddenly remembered the time awhile ago when he had been jealous of the attention Kira showed him. Those feelings all came back when Shinso said that. Even though they had been dumb before.
Shinsou finally glanced up at him. He looked tired, bored but also slightly... Amused.
"Tammy?" He said, nodding at the other bed. He kinda smirked a little, amused by Bakugou.
"...oh." Bakugou said. Sitting down next to Kira. "Sorry." He whispered looking at Kira in worry.
Shinsou chuckled to himself and looked back at his game. Bakugou glanced over at him, then the other bed.
That's right, Tammy Tanaka. He remembered her. From the story that he was told, about the fight.
Kira had died. But Tammy showed up and transferred her quirk 'corpse' to her. The quirk was designed to make dead things come back to life. One that she had been using to stay alive herself for years.
There was a silence for almost ten minutes before Bakugou opened his mouth again.
"How's she doing?" He asked, glancing back at Tammy again.
Shinsou kept his eyes on his game, despite trying to look indifferent Bakugou could see his jaw clinch.
"She uh... Apparently is in good condition. Her body at least. It just... Doesn't know how to function on its own." He sighed and glanced over at her. "Since corpse kept her alive for so long, her heart doesn't want to beat on it's own."
Bakugou didn't say anything.
"Apparently Kira can be active on her own since she only had the quirk for a few minutes. But she over used her quirk. Her body was severely exhausted from holding the amount of energy she did. Apparently quirk exhaust to this degree hasn't happened before. So the doctors don't know what to do other than wait."
Bakugou looked over at Kira. "Damn it..." He whispered. When he woke up in the hospital, he had thought the fight was all over. But now there was a whole new type of battle. "This is all bullshit."
Shinsou chuckled. "Yeah... How about you?" He asked, more out of obligation than anything.
"What?" Bakugou asked, glancing back up.
"You know... Didn't your heart like... Explode?" He asked. Gesturing to Bakugou. "You fought Shigaraki too right?"
"I'm fine." Bakugou grumbled. "Damn nurses won't leave me alone. Apparently I'm not supposed to walk around too fast or train or lift things. Fucking hate this. I feel useless."
"I get that." Shinsou sighed. "I feel like I should be doing more than just sitting here with her. I'm not even injured because I barely fucking did anything."
"The whole stupid plan wouldn't have worked without your quirk." Bakugou rolled his eyes.
"Barely worked anyways." Shinsou mumbled. He turned off his game.
"Guess that's true..."
They didn't say much else that night. Sitting in silence, neither of them sleeping. Shinsou took out his Nintendo again and Bakugou pulled out his phone. Looking through the news as he had been obsessively. Seeing what all was being covered that day. How often him or his classmates were mentioned.
°.•.°•.°•.°
"You're starting to look like me." Shinsou observed. It's been two weeks since him and Shinsou first met in the girls combined rooms.
Bakugou didn't sleep that much anymore. Much to the dismay of his nurses and doctor.
"Shut up." Bakugou grumbled.
"Didn't you get discharged yesterday?" Shinsou asked him.
"So?"
"I don't know... Guess I thought you'd take a... Day to stay at home." Shinsou mumbled with a shrug.
"Why the hell would I do that? What if she wakes up today??" Bakugou asked, sitting down in his usual spot.
"You know I'd text you right?" Shinsou raised any eyebrow. "So would her uncle."
"Yeah well you practically live here. And you were never even admitted to the hospital." Bakugou pointed out. "But you're still here."
"Guess you have a point there." Shinsou sighed. "Did your dad send any more cookies?" He asked, scrolling through a streaming service on his laptop.
"Not this time. He said he'd make more later though." Bakugou grumbled. "They're busy moving into the new house."
The Bakugou family house had unfortunately been destroyed during the war. After they evacuated. The couple were either at UA, the hospital or their new house most of the time now.
Shinsou on the other hand had been living in a group home before he moved into the dorm. He hadn't heard much from his 'guardians' since then.
"What do you want to watch?" Shinsou asked Bakugou. Over the past week the two found out that they both at least slightly enjoyed anime. Shinsou having seen far more than Bakugou. Who mainly seemed interested in the deeper and more violent ones.
Since then they both had spent their long sleepless nights watching different movies. And TV shows.
"I don't care. You know more about that shit than me." Bakugou shrugged.
Shinsou suddenly chuckled.
"What?" Bakugou asked him.
"Sorry I just realized..." He shook his head. "Wouldn't it be funny if one of them woke up to us watching Attack on Titan together?" Shinsou asked, glancing up at Bakugou who scoffed but cracked a smile.
"There might be some questions." Bakugou mumbled. "We're almost finished with that one though."
"Still got the last two movies." Shinsou reminded him. "And I haven't gotten around to watching all of the last part yet."
"Good. I'm fucking sick of you knowing everything and not telling me. I hate that stupid smirk you get." Bakugou scoffed. Then frowned. "Thought you were addicted to that type of stuff, why didn't you finish?"
"I started watching less when I started UA. Tammy suggested I spend more time training then watching a screen." Shinsou sighed. "She was right... As always."
"...how long have you guys been... You know, together?" Bakugou asked him. He hadn't even thought to ask before now. He had originally been under the assumption they were just friends. At least when he first met them.
Shinsou glanced over at Tammy and then away. "Well actually... I don't even know if we are or not."
Bakugou scoffed
"What's that supposed to mean?"
Shinsou rubbed his eyes and sighed. "Girls are so weird man." He said with an almost groan, causing Bakugou to raise and eyebrow.
"We weren't together. We were friends but that was all, I kinda... You know liked her towards the end but I never thought It'd go anywhere. Then at the last battle she popped up next to me after my fight was over."
Bakugou listened with a frown, waiting to see where this was going.
"She teleported or whatever, told me she was about to do something crazy and that if we both survived she wanted to be my girlfriend." Shinsou said, rubbing his eyes. "Then she disappeared again, turns out she did the whole quirk transfer. And she's alive so..."
"So... she's your girlfriend?" Bakugou asked, looking at the girl. Laying motionless on the bed.
"Maybe?" Shinsou asked. "I mean she's... Alive right? So yeah. We've been dating for about two weeks now." He said dryly. Considering the fact that she had been in a coma for exactly two weeks now. "What about you guys?"
"I don't remember. Officially whenever she... Well after she got back a few months ago. But we only started telling people right before the whole war shit happened." Bakugou shrugged.
"Really?" Shinsou raised an eyebrow. "I would have thought you guys were together way before that."
"We basically were. I was too much. Of a coward to admit it though." Bakugou grunted.
"Wow." Shinsou said with a frown.
"What?" Bakugou glared.
"Nothing... Just... I never expected you to say something like that about yourself I guess. You seem all... Cocky." He admitted.
Bakugou scoffed. "We've been hanging around each other for a fucking week. You still think that's all there is too me?"
Shinsou cracked a smile.
"I didn't say that."
A/N:They're buddies 🥺
(Also I knew none of y'all would expect Shinso lmao)
