Episode 2: What is up with Bakugo?

Todoroki:

The next day he wakes up in his room, and he reaches for his phone. He checked if he got any texts from his mother as usual, but there was no notification. (as usual)

He gets out of bed, stretches and starts to change his clothes. He picked a white shirt and denim jeans. His jumper is on the back of his seat right in front of his table where he studied yesterday.

He's going to take another exam at the end of the day, just like everyone else in the class, but that is something that gives him anxiety.

He walks out of his room and goes right to the bathroom to brush his teeth where he meets with Kirishima and Aoyama.

Aoyama: Good mohning Todohoki.

Kirishima: Oh, morning Shoto!

Todoroki: Hi guys.

They always wake up so early, I have never seen them oversleep or even waking up later than 6AM although the school only starts at 8AM.

Midoriya walks in and yawns: Good morning guys.

That's weird, he never wakes up this early.

Kirishima: How did you sleep, Deku?

Midoriya: I didn't sleep too much, don't you know why, Kirishima?

Kirishima: Absolutely no idea...!

Deku: My mom called me in the morning, we might need to cancel our plans today. I need to help her.

Kirishima: Oh, sorry to hear that. Can I help?

Deku: No, it's fine. I'll call you when I am about to leave, okay? Just be ready.

Kirishima: Okay, hope you can come.

Aoyama: What ahe you guys talking about?

Deku blushes, Kirishima hesitates.

Kirishima: Oh, nothing..

Sure it's nothing..

They went out to the kitchen, Deku and Aoyama started making breakfast for their classmates while Todoroki was on the phone and Kirishima went back to his room. Deku started talking to Aoyama and they seemed to have pretty good time together. After a while, the rest of the class has woken up and they sat down to the table to have their meal. Kirishima, Bakugo and Deku sat next to each other and they had a small talk while they were eating.

Bakugo is being less annoyingly childish and rude. It is weird.

Around 7.40 Yaoyorozu, Uraraka, Tsuyu, Jiro and Tokoyami went to school.

They talk a lot about the exams, I don't know why is it such a big deal..

Yaoyorozu: Todoroki are you excited yet?

Todoroki: What do you mean?

I zoned out for a second, I don't even know what they are talking about.

Yaoyorkzu: We were talking about the exams.

Todoroki: Oh, I'm not a huge fan of this exam.

Uraraka: Me neither, we know nothing about it, it freaks me out.

Tokoyami: I don't think this will be hard, just.. Not the usual.

Jiro: I don't think they make this one easy. We need to get prepared to further villain attacks.

Tsuyu: I don't think it will be about our fighting abilities. We have trained a lot to exercise and improve our quirks.

Jiro: Right, but villains do exist. We should be ready for them even if it's not about fighting. They are started to appear out from nowhere and they seem to be strong.

Tokoyami: And they are in a coalition.

Yaoyorozu: You are right, I don't really know what to expect from this exam.

Here we go again..

They finally entered into the class where Iida Tenya was already sitting at his place. They all said hi to him.

Iida: Good morning guys.

He is also weird. He used to be strict and distant but.. This is way more than that. He used to be like: WhY aRe YoU gUyS LaTe?! YoU NeEd To Be HeRe 20 MiNs BeFoRe ClAsS..

Everyone is super weird today.

Bakugo sat next to Kirishima an right behind him, there was Deku. This is also new. Usually Deku sits nex to Bakugo and Kirishima isn't in his place right now either.

Todoroki sits in the back, in the middle between Jiro and Yaoyorozu.

Aizawa still haven't said anything about the exam.. Another day can go with stressing.

When Shoto finally got home he saw Deku, Kirishima and Bakugo argue. Midoriya and Kirishima are up against Bakugo, but he barely talks.

This is weird. Bakugo is acting weird and so do these two nerds.

Todoroki went to Yaoyorozu's room to study for their written tests together.

Uraraka:

Midoriya is bullying Bakugo, but the weirdest part is that he doesn't do anything about it.

Kirishima: I don't think you get it. You always say you are better than everyone then where is he now, huh? Where is the well-known Bakugo Katsuki who beats everyone?

Deku: Kirishima..

Kirishima: Now, tell me!

Bakugo sits still in the couch. His face shows no emotions, but suddenly he started to speak.

Bakugo: I don't need to show it, you'll see.

He walked out of the dorm and sat down to a bench outside.

Deku: That was not nice!

He ran out to see if he is okay. He saw him in the bench and sat right next to him.

Deku: Look, I am sorry about it.. It was my fault.

Bakugo: No it wasn't. You weren't like that.

Deku: It was my idea.

Bakugo: What?

Deku: I told him to start bully you..

Bakugo: Why did you do that?

Deku: Look, you have been weird all day yesterday, and I just wanted to make sure you are alright.

Bakugo: By bullying me?

Deku: Right.. I know it sounds stupid.. But you have always been rude and harsh. I just wanted to make sure you are going to be like that again and I am not just an overthinker.

Bakugo: Wait, don't tell me you were actually thinking about this.

Deku: I was! Kirishima was also worried about you! That is why we wanted to like, tease you a little bit.

Kirishima opens the door and starts walking towards them. He seems pretty upset.

Kirishima: Bakugo I..

Bakugo: There is no need to say anything.. Deku has told me everything. It's fine. Really.

Todoroki:

He just entered into the livingroom and he had noticed that the others were missing.

Todoroki: Uraraka, do you know where are the others?

Uraraka: Shoji, Jiro and Tokoyami are playing together, Aoyama and Iida is probably sleeping, Momo was with you, and Tsuyu is taking a shower.

Todoroki: What about the boys? Kirishima, Bakugo..

Uraraka: Oh, they went outside.. I don't really know what is going on.

Shoto went to the window and pulled the curtain a little bit so he could see what is outside. Midoriya and Bakugo are sitting next to each other in the bench right in front of the entrance of the dorm and Kirishima is standing in front of them.

What the hell? Are they friends now? They must be talking about something serious. Bakugo and Deku has pokerface while talking. No laughs, no smiles. What are they doi...

Uraraka: Is everything alright Todoroki?

Todoroki: Yeah.. Um.. Yes I was just checking. I gotta go, see you tomorrow.

Uraraka: Yeah, good night.

Why are they talking? What can be so important? In the middle of the night.. I always knew I like him, but.. It makes me go crazy when I think about the fact that they spending time together. I just need to calm down and continue learning, that scares my thoughts away.
