Chapter Text

Monday, 3:05 pm

Pikachu: um. Did you guys hear that boom?

Tape Man: yeah. It sounded like Baku, kinda, but it was WAY loud for what he does normally…

Pinky: yeah, he usually doesn't make any big booms like that unless he's in training…

bone hurty: ....@Blasty

Blasty: ugh, yeah yeah ill explain

Blasty: long story short, i was walking to the bathrooms from training. The hallways were too crowded for me to spark off any excess sweat, and i was already kinda panicking bc half n half ended up in the infirmary bc of smth i knocked over, so it was buildin up quick. Kiri was just trying to get my attention, but he managed to touch the back of my neck in the process and i panicked. Couldnt stop it before it blew. Everyone had already cleared out and Kiri hardened in time, but the hallway and my arms are a bit fucked.

bone hurty: ! Are you alright?? Last time that happened there were burns up to your shoulders, kacchan!

Blasty: yeah, yeah, im fine. It wasnt like i had been stuck with it on me for too long, so im fine.

bone hurty: if you didnt go to recovery girl, i SWEAR-

Blasty: yeah, yeah, im there. Im not a total dumbfuck.

Rock Boy: here w him! Can confirm!!

Rock Boy: though he DOES admittedly have pretty bad burns down his forearms…

You'll Float Too: wait, what?? I don't mean to butt in, but why would bakugou being bumped cause him to explode??

Blasty: 1. Its fucking nitroglycerin. 2. Deku, you explain. My hands hurt

bone hurty: wh-dont type if your hands are burnt! Those are always the 2nd degree ones!!!!

Rock Boy: dont worry, hes taking a nap now! And the 2nd degree ones are mostly just on the back of his hands

bone hurty: fuckin better be

bone hurty: anyways, as for an explanation, kacchan sweats nitroglycerin. Of course, he can only blow it up with his hands, but thats still a problem. If it builds up too much, it could be set off by him merely being startled or even bumped into. Every time, theyre really big blasts, and every time he gets 2nd degree burns somewhere on his body. And even if he doesnt scar, since thats also a side effect of his quirk, please believe me when i say ive seen his skin peel before and hes shrugged it off like nothing. Its terrifying every time. But those possible Big Blasts are part of the reason hes always letting off little blasts; if he doesnt, he could blow up the whole classroom at random.

Rock Boy: ...Bakugou just commented with 'psh. Thats cause they were' when i read it out to him and now im Worried

Rock Boy: ...okay hed also like to say that that happened plenty of times out in the forest or something after he got home from big events his parents dragged him to and now im extra scared midoriya Was He Okay.

bone hurty: honestly no?? Hed still go to school with bandages on his arms and he was always clearly in pain but the teachers at our school were shitty so they didnt care.

bone hurty: of course, fuckin Mitsuki kept dragging him to the damn things and blaming the burns on him, from what ive heard

bone hurty: thank the FUCKING LORD Aizawa adopted him

Insomnibitch: honestly yeah. As his adoptive brother, I can say that that bitch left a lasting impression. He barely knows what it's like for adults to care about him. I was with aizawa when he confronted him on it and he looked confused that an adult would care for a second and i was boutta go Feral

Pikachu: bitch did WHAT to my good boy-

Pinky: mmm finna kill a bitch-

Half n Half: alright boys where are the pitchforks

Rock Boy: alright so i probably shouldnt be transcribing this but baku read that over my shoulder and now hes griping at todo that 'its dealt with, dumbass half n half' and oh sHIT BAKU JUST CALLED HIM BABE-

Tape Man: OUR GOOD BOY HAS A BF?!

Pinky: HA! At least half of you owe me 500 yen!

Half n Half: first of all, yes, weve been dating for a while. We didnt really mean to keep it a secret but we dont do much pda and we werent keen on telling anyone directly; especially after all the bashing our respective parents have done towards lgbtq+ people

Half n Half: and second of all, you were betting on our relationship wh y???

Hop Hop Frog Time: well we were actually betting on who baku liked

Earjack: yeah. It was pretty evenly split so about half the class owes the other half 500 yen

You'll Float Too: im going to be totally honest, im not sure i have 500 yen to spare if i eat tonight

Rock Boy: baku has now made strict orders that you dont give that yen to anyone and hes feeding you tomorrow

You'll Float Too: ! Id say you dont have too but i appreciate the offer A Lot, so thank you Bakugou!

Rock Boy: he gives a begrudging 'you're welcome'!

Chapter Text

Earjack: ok so we gonna talk abt all the lowkey motherly shit baku does or nah

bone hurty: oh were gonna talk abt it

Blasty: im not "motherly". Mothers are terrible people, weve been over this

Earjack: aw shit, i forgot he had a shit mom. Hm.

Pikachu: then how do we describe his nice small actions that include fond but angry scolding and generally worrying about all of us without making him think were insulting him??

Hop Hop Frog Time: hm...caring nature?

Half n Half: i heard bakumom and came as fast as i could

Tape Man: all the way from london? Damn!

Rock Boy: all the way from london? Damn!

Pikachu: all the way from london? Damn!

Pinky: all the way from london? Damn!

Blasty: all the way from london? Damn!

bone hurty: all the way from london? Damn!

Tape Man: eyy

Rock Boy: eyy

Pikachu: eyy

Pinky: eyy

Blasty: eyy

bone hurty: eyy

The Chicken of Darkness : I didn't much expect Bakugou to be a musical fan

Blasty: im not, really. Kiri just listens to it a lot

You'll Float Too: no but seriously we're talking about this

You'll Float Too: one time i hadnt eaten in a while bc i didnt have money and he sat me down and forced me to eat and said to me, 'come to me if you can't find something to eat. Ok?' while looking me in the eyes, and i felt the world fall off kilter kinda but also it was really sweet and i cried and oh geez im crying again

Hop Hop Frog Time: you good, raka?

You'll Float Too: yeah. Yeah, im good, just was suddenly reminded that bakugou is an extremely good person deep down who would kill anyone who touched us

Blasty: i would. Never forget that

Pikachu: before this swerves anymore id like to share that baku wakes up at 12 am every night to make sure were all sleeping and uses whatever methods at his disposal to make sure we go to bed

bone hurty: also he has this amazing tea recipe that is SO calming! I think it's something about chamomile, some green tea, just the right amount of honey, and some cinnamon. Hes been making it since he had a nightmare at my house when he was about 4.

Tape Man: everyone in the "bakugou has to force us to go to sleep bc insomnia or stupidity" club say i

Tape Man: i

Pikachu: i

bone hurty: i

Insomnibitch: i

The Chicken of Darkness: i

Half n Half: i

Blasty: none of these fuckers ever go to sleep and im tired of it

Half n Half: *tired of it and also concerned

Blasty: ...ok yeah, none of them are ever asleep before 12 and like. Ive been there.

Blasty: Its Hell.

Pikachu: ? I thought you went to sleep at 8 pm every night??

Blasty: well, when youre 6 and constantly plagued by nightmares, the only thing to do is Not Sleep

Half n Half: can relate

Blasty: except YOU do that NOW and you are a TEEN and we are DEVELOPING, TAKE A FUCKING NA P SHOUTO, I KNOW YOU DIDNT SLEEP LAST NIGHT

Half n Half: ...but kat...reminders of your sweet side that remind me of why im in love with you……….

Blasty: ...fucking-fine. Alright. We'll get to the end of whatever the hell this discussion is and then im getting you some tea and melatonin and you are Going To Sleep

Half n Half: alright, fair enough

Insomnibitch: speaking of that, where do you get all that melatonin?? Its like you have a bottomless pit of the bottles or smth

Blasty: well, my dad used to get one too many-he has insomnia, they were always for him-and she got mad when he was "dumb" enough to get one too many, so i was doing both of us a favor by stealing them

Blasty: now ive got a giant hoard, and if i ever need any more, i can just ask Aizawa for more, and the second i say its to keep you idiots asleep, hell agree. He may not act it sometimes, but we all know that dork cares way too much for this stupid class

bone hurty: moving back to the 'nightmares as 6' thing; that was. So Terrifying. Kacchan already hated me, but i had a feeling it was more his mother than him, and we were fucking. Si x. I had NO idea what to do, and i couldnt tell mom because she knew mitsuki. It was a whole mess, and i will never be over the fact that the universe fucked you over so bad that even my determined ass couldnt get you out of that situation until a fucking pro hero butted in

Blasty: zuku, youre cursing more than usual. Weve been over this. Its not your fault, its not really anyones fault but hers and maybe mine. I got through it, im here today, our bond is back to how it was. Alright? Alright.

Blasty: now then, im bringing you some tea

bone hurty: ...thanks, kacchan

Pinky: oh my god. Hes come so far since first year

Rock Boy: im honestly so proud rn

Tape Man: could we please partially thank todoroki shouto for this glorious character development

Pikachu: yes, yes we can

Pikachu: and aizawa.

Pikachu: actually…

Pikachu: @Aizawa Shouta

Tape Man: shit, do you have a death wish?!

Pikachu: we both know hed want to see his sons development sero

Aizawa Shouta: yes, i would, thank you for blessing me on this day

Aizawa Shouta: and if theres someone to thank, thank katsuki for putting in the effort

Blasty: you dumbasses are crying, arent you?

bone hurty: im actually sobbing you dumbass

Pinky: of course we are!! Youve developed so much in terms of trust and anger issues!!

Tape Man: youve changed so much for the better, and we care about you a lot!!

Pikachu: we are so honored to have helped along the way!!

Rock Boy: im honestly so damn happy. Youve put in so much work towards becoming a better person and its so inspiring watching you become that.

bone hurty: i told you all i had a reason to admire him, didnt i?

You'll Float Too: oh, you did, and we were foolish not to listen

Hop Hop Frog Time: if the cheer that just came from the common room indicated anything, then the rest of the class agrees, bakugou

bone hurty: he just bought me the tea and hes got the Biggest smile on his face and he hasnt smiled like this near me since we were 4, oh my god

Blasty: dammit-stop fucking crying!

bone hurty: that would only happen when you stop being an amazing and inspirational person and youre not doing that so No

Blasty: jesus fucking christ...sho i know youre already crying. Are either of your sides flaring up?

Half n Half: no but i love you a lot and would like you to come cuddle me

Blasty: alright, alright. Im bringing the tea and the melatonin though. At least the tea will calm you down

Blasty: and im waking you up before dinner. Sleeping isnt an excuse not to eat properly for once in your fucking life

God: speaking of that, we could finally move back to the original topic.

God: whenever i come back from training low on fat he cooks me something that he would likely eat once a century

God: it always keeps me going fine for a full day

God: though i wish hed eat something like that himself every once in a while. He may be muscular but hes certainly very thin. His ribs are visible. Ive been concerned for...a while. I considered it to be part of his body type, but still.

Gotta Go FaSt: i have honestly been thinking the same thing for quite a long time. I dont mean to intrude, but worry is hard to suppress.

Half n Half: si gh. Its cause he doesnt eat enough calories for what work he does

Half n Half: he eats well but...not enough. Me, midoriya, and sensei have been pushing him to eat literally anything with fat in it ever. Were all worried, katsuki please you weigh 180 pounds-

Aizawa Shouta: i thought we agreed youd start making eggs more often at the least, Katsuki

Blasty: mm no

bone hurty: i dont wanna reveal too much but imma say rn that i heard mitsuki used to keep meals from him when hed """misbehave"""

bone hurty: and lock him in a closet but thats for later

Blasty: dammit midoriya

Half n Half: shE DID WH AT

Half n Half: THIS BOY IS THE THINNEST 16 YEAR OLD I HAVE EVER MET, THAT WE NCH

Blasty: thats the One thing i kept from him

bone hurty: oh, hes always been tiny, but you could tell it was unnatural. He looks healthy until you realize his waist is small, his ribs stick out, and he has Only muscle

God: alright, I've decided to make the fattiest meal I can find for Bakugou tonight, and he can't say no

Blasty: dammit

Pikachu: well, if thats done, we can move back to bakumom discussion

Earjack: yeah. Any time anyone has a nightmare, he does what he can to calm them down, even if hes not too close to them

Earjack: if he is close, he just goes straight to them.

Arms: and if hes not, he brings melatonin and that amazing tea

She Gone: can confirm, its glorious

Tails: every time someone gets hurt enough to end up with recovery girl, he seems clearly concerned

Half n Half: he is concerned. Its always really hard to get him to calm down, especially if he indirectly causes it

bone hurty: and like the other day, that can cause unexpected explosions

Blasty: im more worried about others in those cases. I know how to deal with nitroglycerin. They dont. I get anything on any door handles...well, this shits toxic. It could kill a weak bodied man.

bone hurty: i actually used to be pretty sickly, and i ended up in the hospital like. 5 times when i was tiny. Im pretty sure it was the nitroglycerin.

Blasty: yeah, it was, dumbass. Its one of the ten thousand reasons i tried to get you to stay away when we were kids.

Blasty: instead, you had to pick up my stubbornness and run with it. Hmph.

Half n Half: hon, everyone youre close to HAS to be stubborn.

Blasty: im aware. Now, then, if this discussion is done, ive got a stupid boyfriend to lull to sleep

Half n Half: see ya later

Chapter Text

Pinky: soo...halloween is coming up soon……….

Pinky: we should have a party!

She Gone: we should have a party!

Pinky: eyy

She Gone: eyy

God: that sounds like an excellent idea! We could bond more, and it would be an excellent destresser!

Gotta Go FaSt: i agree with yaoyorozu. Weve been through a lot lately as a class, so a break wouldnt be undeserved.

Pinky: well, we'll definitely need permission from aizawa...yaomomo?

God: on it!

She Gone: now then, when will it be, since halloweens on a wednesday, and having a party on a school night isnt the wisest?

You'll Float Too: we could just have it the following friday?

Pinky: yeah, thatll work!

Hop Hop Frog Time: so weve got about a week and a half?

Pinky: yup!

Pinky: now then, who wants to handle what?

Pinky: id pitch the bausquad for decorating, but if they dont want to smth they just dont do it. So, boys?

Pikachu: im up for it!

Rock Boy: yeah, sounds fun!

Tape Man: im in!

Blasty: no.

Half n Half: but katsuki, youll get to show them what an amazing sense of color and style you have

Blasty: ...well, you arent wrong…

Blasty: alright, yeah. But im leading-for the most part. Racoon Eyes is better at brighter colors, so you can handle those.

Pinky: aye aye, captain!

You'll Float Too: dekusquad is up for snacks!!

Hop Hop Frog Time: yeah, sounds fun.

bone hurty: id be up!

Gotta Go FaSt: I can make sure they get something with some nutritional value. Maybe some cheese.

Blasty: thanks, engines

Gotta Go FaSt: Of course, Bakugou.

Half n Half: and i can make sure to grab something with fat in it to stuff down katsukis throat

Blasty: sho, weve been over this, the agreement was that i just had to add more eggs to my diet

Half n Half: no agreement is gonna stop me from making you gain at least 10 pounds

Blasty: dammit sho

Blasty: i hate that i cant stop you.

Half n Half: and this is why all your friends have to be stubborn

~~time skip~~

Pinky: PARTY NITE BOIS

Pikachu: FUCK YEEAAAAAA

Tape Man: FUCK YEAAAAAAAA

Rock Boy: hell yeah!!!!!

Blasty: its more time to hang out with sho, and thats all that really matters

Half n Half: lies. Youve been saying all week that your squad is always really fun to hang out with at these things

Blasty: god DAMMIT sho-

Pinky: i knew it!!!

Pikachu: you know you love us!!

Blasty: ...ok. So maybe youre fun to hang out with.

Rock Boy: !!!! CONFIRMATION!!!!

Tape Man: HELL YESSSSSSS

Blasty: tsk. Anyways, dumbasses, is everything set?

Pinky: yup! Everythings good! Perfect shades of lavender and orange and all!

Blasty: alright.

You'll Float Too: izucrew?

bone hurty: yup! Everythings all good, even the saltier options for kacchan, todoroki, and the others who dont like sweets!

Half n Half: thank you again for making sure we had that, midoriya

bone hurty: no problem!!

Pinky: well, if everythings set, we can call everyone down!

Pikachu: JESUS, mina!

Tape Man: how loud can one girl yell??

Rock Boy: at explosion at close range levels of decibel apparently

Blasty: and thats why i turned my hearing aids off

Blasty: but still?? That sounded standard shouting volume??? Raccoon eyes, tf?????

Pinky: oh, cmon, it got everyone down, didnt it?

Pikachu: well yeah, i GUESS, but you heard baku!

Tape Man: and he can barely hear us when we yell next to his ear after loud training sessions!

Blasty: theyre right, raccoon eyes

Pinky: oh shush!

Pinky: now then! Since everyones here, i propose we play some games before we start the movies up!

Pinky: first of all: truth or dare!!!!

Blasty: oh geez

Blasty: wait why is midoriya walking towards me, i wasnt listening

Blasty: waIT WH AT-

Pikachu: skdjdkdk who dared mido to pick him up?????

Blasty: WHY DID YOU PICK ME IP OVER YOUR HEAD LIKE THAT, WHAT WAS THAY F OR-

Blasty: i dont like being out of control!! You shitty bitch!!!!!!

Blasty: sho come cuddle me

Half n Half: you made him whiny. Good luck with that

bone hurty: hhhh sorry kacchan

bone hurty: its just?? I realized that you barely weighed anything to me?? I could probably bench press with you, and thats kind of concerning

Blasty: will you dumbasses please shut the fuck u p about me being skinny?? I can lift 150 pounds, you dont need to be worried about me

Half n Half: were not worried about you defending yourself katsuki. Were worried about the fact that 30 pounds more is how much you weigh, and thats a concerning weight for a 16 year old who exercises constantly and has a pretty balanced diet to be

Half n Half: all we want is for you to eat more

Blasty: ...sho, you KNOW why i dont. ...im not saying anything to deep on here. You know that.

Blasty: but for everyone elses sake, i guess...long story short is that she used to keep food from me at times. You know that. Which means every time i feel like ive failed something i may not eat as much as i need to. And when youre as much of a mess as i am, thats a lot

Pikachu: ...i know killing her isnt gonna change anything, but JESUS if it could-

bone hurty: trust me, i know how you feel.

Half n Half: ...its the one thing he does that ISNT healthy, in terms of eating. And just like everything else he does that includes a corrupt way of thinking, she emparted it.

Blasty: well, im glad you guys want to kill my bad mom for me, but if any of you get arrested for murder, itll look bad for me. So Dont.

Blasty: and either way, im working on it. Its just. Its only been a few months, and its a mentality thing. So, well get there.

bone hurty: and well all be there with you to help along the way!

Hop Hop Frog Time: yet again, if the cheering around the room says anything, we all agree

Blasty: tsk...dumbasses.

Half n Half: i am typing here if only to set in stone this moment that katsuki looks the most comfortable ive ever seen in public

Half n Half: thank you all for being people he can be comfortable around. Weve been working on his social skills and general trust, and its grown by leaps and bounds

Half n Half: also

Half n Half: bestsmile.jpg

Aizawa Shouta: i would also like to thank you all. Hes so much more comfortable with you all then he is anywhere else, and its really good for him to get new connections

Rock Boy: were absolutely honored!!

Pinky: of course!!!!!

Tape Man: yknow, the bakusquad told yall he was good deep down and just had some issues to dig through but did you listen? No. Tsk tsk

Pikachu: seriously though, it took so long for you guys to be convinced he wasnt all bad. It was like. Literal weeks after he was pulled out of a hellscape of a home.

Pikachu: he flinched every time you raised a hand.

Pikachu: you guys ALWAYS got way too close to his neck.

Pikachu: the signs! The sig ns!! The psychological s i g n s!!!!!!

Pikachu: pay!! Attention!! To!! Your classmates!!!!!!!!!

Pikachu: especially after you risk your life for each other multiple times and care for each other a lot but still call him villain material behind his fucking ba ck-

Tape Man: hey, kami, calm down! Theyve learned their lesson about sticking together and stuff, right?

Pikachu: I WILL DIE MAD

Pinky: yeah no hes in 'im mad no one in the class paid any attention to blastys clear signs of abuse and ptsd and they really shouldnt have insulted him for his anger issues bc have some empathy dammit' mode again

Rock Boy: yeah were fucked

Half n Half: if its any consolation, i noticed, but only left him alone. Being in a similar situation meant i knew outsiders coming in and trying to help was a Big No

Half n Half: then we fell in love so i had full permission to alert aizawa to the problem in a way that would keep katsuki comfortable about what was shared

Half n Half: and then 2 days later his mom was in chains because she had caused him mortal harm at some points, and was this close to intended manslaughter :)

Blasty: oh, those times she threw me down the stairs head first and then threw me in the closet and i fainted there?

Half n Half: yes

Pikachu: first of all, GOOD FUCKING JOB THAT IS WHAT YOU D O

Pikachu: second of all she did wh at

Blasty: yeah, no, she used to throw me down the stairs when she was real mad. My neck was this close to snapping every time. Still have a kink in it from a particular fall. Broke my hip at one point too. That was after ua, though, and recovery girl learned not to ask questions after izuku broke his pinky toe tripping up a step. It healed like...alright? It hurts in the rain. Its just annoying, honestly

Half n Half: im still so fucking mad about that. We were half way into our first year. We shouldve known you well enough to know something was wrong.

Rock Boy: well, even WE didnt actually know what was wrong. Hes good at hiding, if nothing else.

bone hurty: i mean, i noticed, but i always notice when hes harmed. He...moves different. I wouldve mentioned it, but i knew hed just get mad, at that point. We may have been fixing things already, but we were barely on the first stitch between a fucking chasm.

Aizawa Shouta: midoriya did mention it to me though

Aizawa Shouta: then i asked recovery girl

Aizawa Shouta: still lowkey mad she decided not to tell me when my student broke his fucking hip

Blasty: ah, so that's why you went easy on me for a week…

Aizawa Shouta: i mean. Yeah? I even go easier on midoriya when he breaks something, and thats like. Once a month. Theres a limit to how mean you can be.

Blasty: ...well, it hurt more than i cared to admit at the time, so..thanks.

Aizawa Shouta: youre welcome, boom son

Blasty: ? Boom son?

Aizawa Shouta: yea. Youre boom son, Hizashi is loud dad, im tired dad, and shinsou is cat son

Aizawa Shouta: eri is princess baby girl because thats what she is

Blasty: amen, honestly. Eri is the sweetest kid i will ever meet

Half n Half: also she brought out your motherly instincts so that was cool

Blasty: i cant just NOT take care of her, especially after i heard she was abused too

Blasty: i was just immediately like 'hm. I will now die for this child'

Aizawa Shouta: and thus, you made her favorite meal at least once a week and sang her a lullaby every night

Blasty: ok ok theres only so much you can expose me in the group chat, dad-

Insomnibitch: nah. More expose

Insomnibitch: he stops by her room every night before he goes to bed to make sure shes asleep and double checks when it hits midnight

Blasty: damn you and your good hearing, hitoshi

Insomnibitch: hehe. Yeah. And also her room is next to mine so when im up and youre coming to wrestle me to sleep i can hear it loud and clear

Insomnibitch: fun fact: he has an amazing like, almost tenor voice? Anyways its nice and sweet and sometimes it lulls me to sleep from the next room over, even

Blasty: hiTOSHI-

Half n Half: can confirm; 10/10 soothing voice

Blasty: sh o!!!!

Blasty: i will blast your fucking faces off if you dont st op-

bone hurty: its always been amazing, honestly

bone hurty: when we were kids and i couldnt sleep hed sing til i did

bone hurty: ive always had an active mind, but it just...shuts down to listen to the notes when he sings yknow

Hop Hop Frog Time: i think its excellent that we all branched off from the truth or dare game to talk to our friend groups to quietly participate in Loving Bakugou Hours without embarrassing him too bad

Half n Half: thank you again, bakusquad, from reeling in your usual loud exclamations

Half n Half: and by that i mean mina

Pinky: it was really cute!! But weve actually heard him sing before

She Gone: OwO? Whats this?

Rock Boy: stop that.

Rock Boy: its just that we have cuddle piles sometimes-every now and then todoroki joins bc relationship goals-and one time todo mentioned he could sing. We were actually all having problems falling asleep, even with the cuddle pile, but we were all out like a light after that

Half n Half: its one of the few things that can put me to sleep after nightmares

Pikachu: and that, friends, is the secret third part of the 'Go The Fuck To Sleep' Bakugou formula; its tea, melatonin, and a sweet voice with age old lullabies hidden in its box thats rarely removed from its hiding place

Tape Boy: sometimes i forget youre actually really good at literature stuff and then you write smth like that

Pikachu: mhm

Half n Half: so, katsuki managed to fall asleep. Ive already taken his aids out; he taught me how to in case he fell asleep on accident. So im not going to move him just yet, but if you touch his neck and scare him i will actually fucking murder you

Insomnibitch: i will also fight you, bitch

Tails: why do you think he conked out all of a sudden?

Half n Half: his period is on and he keeps forgetting to take his vitamins for his iron deficiency

bone hurty: really? Hes had iron anemia for years now! How does he keep forgetting??

Half n Half: well it was more like he forgot and then he forgot he was out when he remembered and then he forgot to ask aizawa or me to get a new bottle

Half n Half: btw?

Aizawa Shouta: yeah. Ill grab 3 this time

The Chicken of Darkness: why 3, exactly?

Half n Half: last time we bought two bottles but he still finished them up and still forgot to grab a new one

Aizawa Shouta: so im grabbing three and instructing him to tell me when he has one left

Aizawa Shouta: so that way, if were lucky, hell remember before he runs out on the last one

Aizawa Shouta: and then we wont have to hear him whining about dizzy spells sitting down or almost falling down the stairs

Half n Half: oh man. When he was still at his house, and hed bleed, he was fucking delirous for days. Like, i mean i get it, normal blood loss plus injury blood and no iron creates a very dizzy person, but im just worried about his hero days

Aizawa Shouta: so i am kid. So am i

Insomnibitch: same here tbh. Also im tired of seeing your full name in the chat

Insomniac changed Aizawa Shouta's name to Tired Dad

Tired Dad: well if were going that route

Tired Dad changed Blasty's name to Boom Son

Tired Dad changed Insomniac's name to Cat Son

Tired Dad: aaand done

bone hurty: yknow those are excellent names but are we going to talk about the fact that he was still badass as hell while being dizzy and tired 24/7??? Ive looked up the symptoms and theyre kinda hellish. It may be kinda mild, but his parents never got him vitamins and like-

bone hurty: imagine youre constantly dizzy and tired and then suddenly youre,,,,,,Not

Pikachu: still can barely believe he managed to constantly kick our asses while being this close to falling over

Pikachu: though admittedly i shouldve noticed. He always tipped over morr often for a week every month

Tape Man: your people watching scares me sometimes

Pikachu: im not trying to be!! Im just trying to make sure my friends are alright and since im high tuned into body language and change in tone i pay attention to it!!!!!!

Pikachu: but anyways he also threatened people less

Pikachu: and now in general he has slightly better posture

Pikachu: like its obvious that it was always purposeful but it's also clear he was just always tired

Half n Half: thats just how katsuki is. He was raised to not have any weaknesses so he either plays into them and exaggerates them to make them part of his personality-like his loudness; he could never hear himself so he just stayed loud 24/7 so if his voice rose no one would notice. Same with stuff like his nitroglycerin. He DOES spark off to intimidate people, but the main original point is not blowing everything and one sky high.

Half n Half: and it was just the same with his tiredness

Half n Half: but he does that or makes it seem like it doesn't exist

bone hurty: still SO fucking mad at mitsuki for all that. One time it nearly killed him

Half n Half: wait wh at

bone hurty: well, one time last year, when you were out, there was a villian attack closely following the one that put you out of commission. He got hit pretty hard, but he was apparently convinced it wasnt a problem. He fainted in a pool of blood halfway through, but asked everyone who was there not to tell anyone he was 'weak enough to get hit so hard he ended up out of commission'

bone hurty: i was THIS close to slapping him

Pikachu: it was actually really scary. Me and the rest of the bakusquad were there too.

Earjack: wait, is that why he was so fidgety in January??

Tape Man: yeah. He got hit on his left side; a real deep wound.

bone hurty: i guess he was kinda lucky he didnt scar, in this case. Otherwise, todoroki mightve found out.

Half n Half: well, now that i do, were having A Talk

Pinky: alright, guys, its movie time!!

Half n Half: im gonna bring katsuki back to my room. He doesnt like horror movies, so hell probably freak if he wakes up during one

Pikachu: alright! See ya guys tomorrow!!

Chapter Text

Rock Boy: ...um. Is anyone going to tell me why I just saw Bakugou slam his head into a wall with all the force he uses against villains?????

Half n Half: ? Katsuki?? Are you alright??

Boom Son: u gh. Look, it's nothing to worry about, ok? Theres a reason and i know what im doing and i dont want to explain so just shush and leave me alone

Tired Dad: youre explaining, and thats that

Boom Son: dammit. Got caught by dad. U gh.

Boom Son: alright bitches this is gonna be long, im keeping it here so no one else tries to freak out on me

Boom Son: so sometime last year before i got pulled out of her house i realized 'oh hey, im kind of a dick' so i started trying to reel in some of my harsher responses, including physical ones

Boom Son: but ive always had these instincts that told me to bash my head against walls or claw my skin til im not worked up

Boom Son: and i never liked those instincts much. So when i was younger and i was still practically on top of the world i decided to go the 'hurt others' route

Boom Son: but now im stuck with a promise to be kinder, stupid self-destructive instincts, and a whole lot of anger

Boom Son: and i mean, i wasnt as angry or...whatever that stupid caged animal feeling is after aizawa adopted me, but that doesnt mean its not still there

bone hurty: ! Kacchan! You started doing that again? I told you when we were kids that it was a bad idea!!!!!

Boom Son: i know! Its why i started hurting others, you fucking idiot!!

Half n Half: wait, again?

bone hurty: he used to do it when we were kids, too. There arent scars left behind, of course, but he was always riddled with scratches and bruises and burn marks on his upper arms. They were always mixed with what mitsuki left, though, so people just thought it was a kacchan thing, or that he got into fights. I was the only one worried about it, really.

Tired Dad: not to interrupt, but i think the most important thing here to ask if you think its a good thing to do, bakugou?

Boom Son: fuck no i dont. Having a headache 24/7 is annoying as shit, and even after i finally got out of that hell hole, im still sitting here with burn and scratch marks rubbing up against my clothes

Tired Dad: well, what if i told you i could find an alternative?

Boom Son: ...im listening.

Tired Dad: access to all training grounds, 24/7. You can bring whoever you want, too. Its something to funnel your anger through, and you could even train precision with the rubble. Could make a training exercise of out it, too.

Boom Son: !!! Oh i am SO in!!!!

Boom Son: DEKU! GROUND BETA, 30 MINUTES! DEKU V KACCHAN 3, BUT LEGAL THIS TIME

bone hurty: sure! We could try out our new moves on each other! You want the others to come with?

Boom Son: FUCK YEAH I DO

Boom Son: !!!! SHO YOURE COMING TOO

Half n Half: of course. Wouldnt miss seeing more of that excited face for the world

Boom Son: sh,,,,shut up i didnt get excited

Half n Half: katsuki, im right next to you

Boom Son: shut it

Cat Son: hes biting his nails now, isnt he

Half n Half: yup

Boom Son: wh-how would you know?!

Cat Son: one, your constantly chewing on something, two, you do it especially when youre excited

Boom Son: ,,,,,,shut

Tape Man: hey, i hate to ruin this great moment, but you mentioned something about a caged animal feeling, bakugou?

Boom Son: uh...yeah?

Tape Man: when does it normally show up?

Boom Son: ...well, when the class gets too loud or active, somethings happened to someone in the class and theyre like...possibly in trouble? Big stuff, or like-she caused that a lot. When im just missing something important, and it could possibly cause problems, or an adult might get mad i guess, its some weird creepy feeling down my spine??

Tape Man: alright, yeah, thats anxiety

Tape Man: welcome to the fear club, kid

Tape Man: and i mean, ptsd is an anxiety disorder. Everyone here has that. So they know what youre talking about. Considering some of the other stuff you mentioned, though, seems youve got a case of that AND your everyday social anxiety

Boom Son: ……..ok that explains a lot

Boom Son: ...actually, how didnt i notice?? I know what ptsd shit feels like, and thats the same kind of thing. The fuck.

bone hurty: so, um, not to interrupt, but if were talking mental disorders, im actually about 90 percent sure he has aspergers syndrome?? I mean, look at ANY symptoms list, kacchan

Boom Son: ?????? Idk what youre insinuating, but fine i guess

Half n Half: ...its been a few minutes but he has...a Look on his face

Boom Son: ...this explains so fucking muCH-

bone hurty: see, told ya

Boom Son: why didnt you mention this sooner! Finally a reason forthiose stupid fucking instincts! And now i know theyre not actually NORMAL!

Boom Son: i had NO idea what fuckers like sho and deku did with their frustration. I though, maybe walls. I thought they punched walls. But apparently, thats just a me thing!

Boom Son: and finally! A fucking reason why i cant keep an actual friend for longer than a month! Its fucking hardwired into me!

Boom Son: finally fucking R E A S O N S

Half n Half: i would like to inform you all that he is currently face down on the floor incessantly knocking at it as he rambles

Rock Boy: oh yeah, i was wondering why he did that! Is all this why?

bone hurty: yeah, a symptom is repetitive motions. I think its part of why he does the spark thing too

Boom Son: dekus right actually. I try to keep it in patterns of three, with a beat. If there isnt it feels Bad

Half n Half: "bad"?

Boom Son: yeah. Like, it feels,,,,,,Off. Like i cant stop thinking about it until i fix it yknow

bone hurty: hm...compulsive behaviors ARE on a lot of symptoms lists, too…

Boom Son: huh. Makes sense. Anyways, im gonna go look up social anxiety symptoms. Brb

Half n Half: hes got another Look on his face...like as if someone just gave him the answer to life's biggest puzzle…

Boom Son: ,,,,,,why did you fuckers keep these perfect answers to my life from me. What the fuck.

bone hurty: well, kacchan, if youre done with that, we have a fight to get to, dont we?

Boom Son: ! I almost forgot! SHO GET A FUCKING SHIRT ON WE GOTTA GO

Half n Half: alright alright ill be there!

Half n Half: well bring our phones, just in case

Pikachu: yknow, i dont mean to insult ya, blasty, but why do you get so excited about training?

Tape Man: yeah, that and cooking and heroes

Boom Son: hm...i dunno. Cooking and training has always just been really fun, and heroics is really cool to learn about

bone hurty: not to butt in AGAIN, but may i suggest theyre hyper fixations?

Boom Son: oh yeah, i remember reading about that. Thats probably it, actually

Half n Half: ? A hyperfixation?

bone hurty: its part of the aspergers thing. Its basically just that people with it get really interested in one or a few subjects, and basically only think about that thing/things.

Boom Son: yup, sounds about right

Boom Son: pretty unrelated, but the amount of weird shit ive got goin on with my body and brain is crazy, honestly

Boom Son: like theres the nitroglycerin stuff, the iron deficiency, im deaf

Boom Son: and then ive got ptsd, probably depression, and now social anxiety and apparently aspergers

Boom Son: just rackin up problems over here

Boom Son: just got to ground beta, see ya guys later

Tired Dad: were talking about that 'probably depression' part later, though

Boom Son: yea yea. See ya

Chapter Text

Saturday, 5 pm

Pikachu: 1, Hagakure, here's a better nickname

Pikachu changed She Gone's name to Gone Girl!

Gone Girl: thanks!

Pikachu: and 2, ive gotta ask you guys; do you ever get dreams where everyone looks...different?

God: define different?

Pikachu: like kiri has horns and wings and can turn into a dragon

Pikachu: and baku has a cape and a tooth necklace and a lot of scars

Pikachu: uraraka has a staff or some shit

Pikachu: and like. You kinda see it on them every now and then?? Like once I was looking at Kiri and I thought 'isnt right about now when hed go to wash his wings?' and I was like ',,,,,WhAt'

You'll Float Too: yeah, ive seen that before. Maybe its some kind of past life or something…?

Earjack: yeah, i remember some stuff like that, too

Boom Son: hello, yes, resident knowers of stupid past life bullshit coming through

Half n Half: hello, all

Tape Man: wait what do you mean 'resident knowers'????

Half n Half: so long story short, me and Katsuki are like 90% sure we're soulmates

Boom Son: yeah. Weve had plenty of dreams like that in the past

Boom Son: and that was definitely a past life of all of ours. Its more prominent bc a LOT of shit went down though

Boom Son: but anyways, yeah, sho was a runaway prince who ended up joining a traveling band of dorks

Half n Half: and Katsuki was a runaway prince himself, turned into a barbarian by living with dragons.

Rock Boy: ...and he had a loyal dragon by his side…

Half n Half: exactly.

Arms: ...huh. Interesting. But why do you guys remember it all so clearly?

Boom Son: weve lived...a lot of lives.

Half n Half: exactly.

God: do you guys have dreams about those lives, too?

Half n Half: mhm. They're actually how we ended up confessing to each other.

Half n Half: we both had a dream of one of our past deaths and felt...a pull. It brought us to each other. We went to Katsuki's room and confessed.

Boom Son: mhm. And every time, he feels the same. Even if his eyes are different, the smile stays.

Half n Half: mhm.

Tape Man: how different did you guys look?

Boom Son: sho still had heterochromia, but it was blue green. His hair was all white, long, pulled into a ponytail. It was stained with blood, but I knew. I knew who he was, that the scar on his chest wasn't that large, wasn't that red.

Boom Son: and it was how we figured out we were soulmates, too. I knew, because even with bullet wounds in his chest, he reached up and brushed away my tears with that same damn smile and called me darling. Told me not to cry, because we'd see each other next time.

Boom Son: and he promised.

Boom Son: ...but I'm pretty sure this is next time, so it's okay.

Half n Half: katsuki, i can feel your sadness from here. Im coming to cuddle you

Boom Son: k

Tape Man: uh...sorry for dredging up old feelings??

Half n Half: no, its alright. When it comes to multiple lives, youve just gotta get used to sadness over deaths. Its really the only thing you can do.

Tape Man: ...ok.

God: you said you had a similar one to Bakugou, right? What was that one like?

Half n Half: well, he had a sword in his side, so I suspect it was a good few times ago. His hair was black, and shaved in the back, and while the front and side were still spiky, they were shorter. His eyes were blue, but they were still so sharp.

Half n Half: his hips were just as lean as they are now. I remembered thinking that his mother wouldn't miss him, so I guess Mitsuki had a round as his mother again. And thinking that the red of his blood contrasted with his eyes. That the blood mixed in with his hair, like it had that one time she threw a bottle at him.

Half n Half: just a passing thought, but there, still there.

Gotta Go FaSt: you two seem to remember a lot from your past lives.

Boom Son: yeah. Once you remember again, it all comes back to you, bit by bit.

Half n Half: Katsuki has been a woman fair too many times. He certainly has the soul of a male.

Boom Son: uggggh, really. Being trans is kind of a hassle sometimes. Like it's clear as fucking DAY that this bitch is MASCULINE, goddammit

Boom Son: now you, you never gave a shit. Haven't you been nonbinary a few times?

Half n Half: yes. But this time around, I feel more like a guy, so that's where I'll lean

bone hurty: have you guys ever liked each other off the bat? Like the moment you met?

Half n Half: ...just one. It was one where...Katsuki's flame had been...stamped out, somewhat.

Half n Half: i was a prince, with fine parents, as far as I remember, so no Enji, maybe Rei was there this time. I was just wondering the town-only 10 years old, but the townspeople liked me well enough.

Half n Half: then...I passed by a slave shop of sorts in an alley.

Half n Half: usually id leave those things alone and tell my parents about them later, but i...saw a boy. Along the way. He had piecing red eyes, a scowl, and brown hair that looked exactly like an explosion.

Half n Half: he looked to be my age, too. But something in me just...pulled me towards him.

Half n Half: and so, doing what it said, I "bought" the boy. Being the fucking prince, they couldn't say no, but the second I was out of their sight, I tried to tell the boy he didn't have to be my slave. And while Katsuki had a snarl on his face, he just. Didnt answer, and when I asked, he said in a polite voice, 'dont speak unless spoken to', and I knew it was wrong.

Half n Half: so, i came home with the boy, and of course, my parents were appalled, but I looked them in the eyes, and I said, "this boy isn't who he was. Who he is. Whoever captured him took away his flame, mama. His eyes should be filled with fire, papa. But they aren't. I know hes important. Please. Let me help him be himself again."

Half n Half: and so, they agreed, pretty quickly. Enter, the bakusquad. They were all children that I played with in the village; Kirishima had wings of a dragon. Kaminari could light things on fire "magically", or send a strange...something coursing through you. (It was electricity, but people were dumb back then.) Ashido seemed to destroy everything she touched, and was thought to be cursed. Jirou could hear everything around her. (Likely some kind of harpy or reverse siren.) Sero could fix anything and everything, and it didn't make sense.

Half n Half: they were deemed as freaks. And they were really fun to play with.

Half n Half: it wasn't long before they got Katsuki riled up and acting like a child again, and that light entered his eyes. Every second was agonizing when it was gone. But it felt so right when it was back.

Half n Half: we grew up together, and fell in love pretty easily. We were only allowed to be married because we convinced the kingdom katsuki was a girl. And even though he didnt like the idea, he went with it, for our sake.

Half n Half: i believe...i ended up dying first. In a war.

Boom Son: ...yeah. I remember that one. She hated me enough that she sold me off, and the dad I had didnt care enough to protest. All i remember from that life is that...things felt empty before you came along. Everything was manners, and trying to not get killed.

Boom Son: i didnt even know i had my flame...luckily those dorks showed me quickly enough.

Boom Son: i remember hearing about your death, left in our room, alone, with all the dresses and pleasantries an abandoned queen could have.

Boom Son: all i remember past that-that, and one of many, many funerals-was that same feeling from the beginning. And I guess I died to the grief.

Half n Half: ...how many times have we died in wars?

Boom Son: too many...too many...

God: so...quirks even existed back then, in their own strange way...fascinating.

Tape Man: ...i think me and denki have...the same thing. Going on.

Pikachu: yeah...its part of the reason i mentioned that stuff in the first place…

Half n Half: oh, huh. Interesting that theres another soulmate pair in the class.

Boom Son: how many deaths do you guys remember?

Pikachu: rough estimate? Like...20.

Tape Man: yeah, that sounds right

Half n Half: oh, you're still young

Boom Son: yup.

Pikachu: well, how many do you guys remember?

Half n Half: well, enough that were used to it…

Boom Son: and lowkey expect it every day.

Half n Half: but i dunno...at least 200…

Boom Son: ...how many times were you a prince?

Half n Half: how many times were you a slave?

Boom Son: fair.

Pikachu: i feel like hanta just ended up being a like...repair person a lot

Tape Man: you were in like...exile a lot

Pikachu: there was that one time I was an electric dragon human thing

Tape Man: yeah, that was cool

Half n Half: but its really hard to remember all the lives

Boom Son: especially since, in some, you die before you meet them

Half n Half: and so the other moves on, feeling like somethings missing…

Boom Son: i feel like...i just barely remember hearing in the town that you were killed by your father...er. The king killed his son.

Half n Half: thats...plausible.

Boom Son: but sometimes you just don't meet at all.

Half n Half: and those are truly the worst times.

Boom Son: even worse than all the times youre a slave, an indentured servant, just some tool to be used by your mother, an abused wife

Half n Half: worse than all the times your father hates you, your siblings are dead, youre blind, youre a prince whos killed before he can take the throne

Boom Son: because no matter how good the circumstance

Half n Half: youll never be...whole.

bone hurty: uhhhh do i hear crying??

Half n Half: well be fine…

Boom Son: sometimes you just...get a little sad about the losses along the way…

Half n Half: ...hasnt midoriya killed himself a few times?

Boom Son: ...sometimes cause of me

Half n Half: and how many times have we done that to ourselves?

Boom Son: ask my slave count and your bad dad count

Half n Half: fair.

Tape Man: i feel like denki has done some unsavory things a few times…

Pikachu: ah, the double suicide

Tape Man: but kiri caught us…

Pikachu: ...that was...the one i was talking about earlier, wasnt it…

Rock Boy: is that why you guys were falling off a cliff??

Tape Man: ...yeah.

Half n Half: alright, we should...shut this down. Katsuki is getting hysterical.

Tape Man: ah. Right. Uh...talk about the troubles of knowing multiple lives with ya guys later?

Half n Half: sure.

Tired Dad: um, what the fu ck?

Half n Half: oh uh,,,,,well be. Back.

Boom Son: uh,,,,hello

Half n Half: we forgot you were,,,,here.

Cat Son: hey, are you guys like, ok? I got dad, I was worried

Boom Son: i mean were like,,,,pretty much ok?? The only really bad thing this time so far is her and Enji being here and like. AFO and a few of my other problems

Half n Half: but at least you're not a slave

Boom Son: she just really didnt like dealing with me

Tired Dad: are you SURE you guys are good??

Boom Son: dad, were FINE. It was past lives. Yeah, it kinda sucks that I was a slave-how many times?

Half n Half: i think the count was around 65?

Boom Son: 65 or so times but laws stop that now so its chill

Half n Half: and it kinda sucks at least one of committed suicide-?

Boom Son: hmmm...I think it's like 80. We had to do double suicides a lot to get out of trouble because I was a guy sometimes and we got married anyways. Plus we kept dying in wars and doing that to avoid the grief for the bajillionth time

Boom Son: plus it was rare that anyone else cared about us

Half n Half: 80 or so times due to the listed factors but this IS a really good time plus people care about us, so like

Boom Son: we dont HAVE reasons to commit suicide! Aint that nice?

Tired Dad: ...youre still getting therapy.

Tired Dad: same for kaminari and sero. Whyd you even try a double suicide in the first place

Pikachu: oh lol. People found out we were gay and also everyone hated me and generally our lives REALLY sucked outside of each other

Tape Man: but we could tell we were soulmates at that point so we were hoping to get reincarnated together by doing a double suicide

Pikachu: but kiri caught us and we found people who actually cared so it was all good!!

Rock Boy: ...is that why you guys fell hugging?

Tape Man: yup!

Tired Dad: ...yeah no youre getting therapy

Half n Half: dammit.

Boom Son: in hid defense, sho, look at the suicide count-80-the slave count-65-and the bad dad count-98-and tell me you can blame him

Half n Half: ...i cant.

Pikachu: i think our suicide count is something like...10

Tape Man: thats half but we also havent had many lives

Pikachu: i think the exile count is…….the same amount

Tape Man: ,,,,hm

Cat Son: are you sure you guys are like,,,,,,,,go od????

Boom Son: you get used to death

Half n Half: lots of lives means lots of deaths

Boom Son: and lots of funerals where it's just you, the lonely queen, or the widowed "witch" on the hill side…

Half n Half: and plenty more where its just you because no one else knew the "slave"...

Boom Son: so many more where its your husband and your children, every single one, just because of a jealous mother, and youre left a broken mother

Half n Half: and just as many where you bury all your children and your husband because your father hated you

Boom Son: and you go home and you eat all the pills

Half n Half: and you go home and hang yourself

Boom Son: and hope you see them next time

Half n Half: and pray you see them next time

Boom Son: eri was our baby girl

Half n Half: killed by your jealous mother

Boom Son: she never deserved it

Half n Half: and here we are next time, only to find her hurt by a man so similar to the one that killed you so many times ago

Boom Son: a "plague doctor" who really just walked around, killing children

Boom Son: and it was last time...last time that I was left a widow of the king...last time that our daughter was killed...last time...last time…

Half n Half: it always takes so long for next time…

Boom Son: i hope she wasnt hurt while we were gone…

Tired Dad: ...is that why you took to her so instantly?

Boom Son: ...yes. She was mine. She has been, many times. But she's yours now, too. A different father for a different life…

Half n Half: katsuki can be her background mother figure.

Boom Son: ive done it plenty times, well enough.

Half n Half: people always liked to hurt her when she was young…

Boom Son: weve yet to find our son...the many children weve raised…

Half n Half: you raised them more then I did…

Boom Son: youll always be better then that sorry excuse of a father, kei…

Half n Half: wrong name...vala.

Boom Son: ah...right.

Half n Half: anyways...Katsuki fell asleep after being hysterical for a bit longer over our kids. He's always cared about every single one, to the bottom of his heart…

Tired Dad: ...heres an idea. If Eri agrees, you and Katsuki can legally adopt Eri once you graduate.

Half n Half: wait, really? You'd give her back to us?

Boom Son: oh my god thank you ive missed her so much and i just didnt know how to say it we never got to see her grow up kei-sho well get to see her grow up sho-

Half n Half: i know!!!!!

Tired Dad: this is the best decision i have ever made

Tired Dad added Yamada Hizashi

Tired Dad changed Yamada Hizashi's name to Loud Dad

Tired Dad: hizashi,,,,,,,hes so excited, look

Loud Dad: did you really have to pull the wool over their eyes and not tell them were soulmates too, shouta?

Tired Dad: i just forgot

Loud Dad: yeah...she was never really ours

Tired Dad: we had our own, somewhere

Loud Dad: but shes not one

Tired Dad: katsuki though? He is

Loud Dad: he was never mitsukis

Tired Dad: no, not once

Boom Son: ...how many lives have you guys lived?

Loud Dad: only about 80.

Tired Dad: you guys have very old souls.

Loud Dad: and very high...concering counts. Of Bad Things.

Boom Son: ...huh.

Half n Half: he fell back asleep...haha. He's very excited about Eri, though, i can tell you.

Gotta Go FaSt: oh...goodness. I missed a lot. ...what were with the different names?

Half n Half: last time, my name was harami keinama, and Katsuki's was serima valana.

Gotta Go FaSt: ah…okay.

Half n Half: anyways. See ya guys later; ive gotta take my moments with Katsuki/vala/ana/mori-and many many other names while I still can.

Half n Half: goodnight.

Tape Man: he didnt have to blow our minds with all the extra names before he left…

Pikachu: oh well. That's life...tani.

Tape Man: screw you, ira!

Chapter Text

Saturday, 8 am

Earjack: hey, uh...I just walked by Todoroki's room, and I heard crying...is everything ok?

Half n Half: hm...do you want to explain to them? Izu, Eiji?

bone hurty: sure!

Rock Boy: why not!

bone hurty: so me and Eiji realized we both liked Kacchan and Sho

Rock Boy: and also each other

bone hurty: so we went to confess to them! (After a lot of debate)

Rock Boy: and they revealed they were pretty sure we were ALSO their soulmates

bone hurty: but less romantically bound then those two are. We've just been good friends plenty of times

Rock Boy: and shoulders to cry on for one of those two when the other inevitably died

bone hurty: apparently, were the main reason they didnt committ suicide a lot of the time

Rock Boy: weve only had about 100 lives, too

bone hurty: but anyways, me and Eiji got our first death dreams

Rock Boy: and the second we entered Todoroki's room they knew what was wrong

Half n Half: we had our own death dreams tonight

Boom Son: mhm. Just for you two this time round

Rock Boy: Katsuki was on us like a real mother hen, lullabies and all, as soon as he could get to us

bone hurty: yeah, he used to be real overly worried when id get hurt when we were kids too

Boom Son: theres always something in you that makes you want to keep them safe

Boom Son: and ive been a mother plenty of times, not to mention that most if not all of them died before adulthood. I get to mother hen a little bit

bone hurty: ,,,,,i know you always say you get used to death and stuff but im a bit worried about how sad you are about all of your kids deaths, kacchan :(

Rock Boy: yeah...you always get really hysterical when theyre brought up… :(

Half n Half: oh god

Boom Son: The sunshines are sad,,,,,,

Half n Half: brb gotta go comfort our soulmates

Boom Son: ,,,,,,,We Have Failed

Rock Boy: Katsuki you cant just blow off 100 lives of losing your children and not expect us to be worried!!!!!!!!

Boom Son: but i dont WANT you to be!

bone hurty: well youll have to deal with it anyways!

Earjack: ...well then. Glad that was explained.

Arms: speaking of kids...have you guys met any past ones in this life?

Boom Son: ...this is going to sound very strange, and it's just a feeling, but i think all of you besides sho, eiji, and zuku have been our kids at some point.

Half n Half: ...wait, were they ours first?

Boom Son: ,,,,,,,mother instincts say Yes

Half n Half: theyre probably right. You can always trust Katsuki's motherly instincts

Boom Son: the finest in the land

Arms: ...well this explains some of the mother henning youve done.

Boom Son: at least you made it to being a teen…

Half n Half: uh oh

Rock Boy: hes got that wistful look in his eyes

bone hurty: and that glisten

Half n Half: and the tears hanging onto his lashes

bone hurty: ,,,,,,a Code Children

Rock Boy: definitely

Boom Son: calm down, im fine! And will you stop calling my angst over my kids' deaths Code Children?!

Rock Boy: absolutely not. Weve only been dating you for about a week and weve seen it at least twice a day

Boom Son: in my defense, once you realize a whole class of reckless teens are your past children who you lost at roughly 6-8 years old usually due to an assassination of some kind,

Boom Son: you get just a liiiiiitttle frantic when they hold a knife.

Boom Son: speaking of that, Shiro, please tell me when youre making dinner next time

Half n Half: asui, not shiro, honey.

Boom Son: ah...right.

Rock Boy: how many times has he slipped up on names in just the week weve been dating them, zuku?

bone hurty: i probably couldnt count, eiji

God: wait, i was asleep. 100 lives where you lost...all of your children??

Boom Son: uh...yeah?

God: ...oh my god. I could barely imagine losing a child...ever.

You'll Float Too: god, yeah, that sounds...terrible

Earjack: know at least the girls can relate somewhat, bakugou

Boom Son: ...thanks.

Gotta Go FaSt: oh. ...goodness. Is this why you seemed so worried when i got the flu the other week?

Boom Son: ,,,,,in my defense, im pretty sure you died to pneumonia in the first place

Boom Son: but...none of you lived to see adulthood. Barely any of you lived to the age you are now.

Boom Son: medical knowledge was bad...Mitsuki and Enji hated us enough to kill our kids every time they were around…sho was a prince so often; his children and wife were always seeked out for the slaughter.

Boom Son: and...i dunno. I just started...falling apart at some point.

Boom Son: its part of why the training camp was so bad...ALL of you were in danger...and there was fire; ive been burned at the stake plenty of times for...extremely stupid reasons.

Half n Half: sometimes, were both afraid of my flame…

Boom Son: and i didnt know that you guys were reincarnations of my kids yet, but something in me screamed, 'keep them safe. We can't let them go this time.' and it made me panic.

Boom Son: oh-hon you know i dont mean to be…

Half n Half: i know. Its fine.

You'll Float Too: ,,,,,hm. I think im in the mood to be very kind to our class mom for a good while. Doesnt that sound nice?

Hop Hop Frog Time: sounds good to
me

Gotta Go FaSt: an agreeable arrangement! Ill go clean the common room!

Pikachu: ill bring you my soft pikachu blanket!!!

Boom Son: pfft...sure.

Boom Son: you were always good kids...

Pikachu: just walked into Todoroki's room,,,,,,theyre literally piled on top of each other. Adorable

Boom Son: thanks for the blanket, hiro

Half n Half: kaminari, honey

Boom Son: right, right

Rock Boy: such-a-nice-song.vid

Rock Boy: just a pretty little lullaby…

Boom Son: ah, yeah. Thats the one I sang for all of them...once i remembered it.

Boom Son: sometimes id sing it at their graves, too…

Boom Son: but its fine...they can really hear it again…

The Chicken of Darkness: its...nostalgic.

Gone Girl: its almost like...youve heard it in your dreams…

You'll Float Too: those peaceful ones where...its just you…

Hop Hop Frog Time: and someone with a motherly smile…

Gotta Go FaSt: its so sweet…

Half n Half: haha...he fell asleep smiling.

bone hurty: smile.jpg

Rock Boy: he looks so much better...peaceful and happy…

bone hurty: then covered in blood…

Half n Half: or crying in front of small graves…

bone hurty: ...yeah.

Rock Boy: this is a good life so far.

Half n Half: ...oh god youre right

Rock Boy: katsuki! Weve talked about this!!!!

bone hurty: its not just a normal thing that youve died in multiple pregnancies and miscarriages

Boom Son: better than losing the child youve been waiting for for months, singing that lullaby to and hoping theyd make it past 14 this time

bone hurty: ,,,,,,,alright fine youre off the fucking hook

Half n Half: but only because we can already see that glazed look in your eyes

Boom Son: good. Because rin is in my lap and im not in the mood to think about unhappy things

You'll Float Too: ,,,,,how weirded out would you be if I just accidently mentally called you mom, bakugou?

Boom Son: not at all. In fact, id be delighted.

You'll Float Too: soft smile...mom eyes...alright youre not lyin

Earjack: alright, yeah, class mom is now officially Mom

Boom Son: i havent been called mother in years…
