Deku

As Bakugo continued to play with my hair, I kept my eyes closed, and leaned into his touch, relaxing. I hadn't expected him to play with my hair-at all-but I, apparently, was letting him now. We didn't talk, but there was an unspoken understanding between us, it seemed. Like I had asked for some time to calm down and relax without talking, and Baakugo understood, trying to help me calm down. It was.....nice, actually.

Unfortunately, our moment was ruined an hour later. I had finally calmed down, and was now sitting beside Bakugo instead, when a cloaked figure I knew busted through the window. Instantly, Bakugo stood, and dragged me behind him, scowling. The figure-or, Dabi, really-Toya?-looked at me. I looked back at him. "You need to come back for the plan, Midoriya. You can't stay with him." Bakugo glanced back at me. "What's he talking about, Deku?" I looked back and forth between the two. "Midoriya, don't make me do this." "Deku, what's shitty flames talking about?" I gave Bakugo an apologetic look. "Deku-" I slipped out from behind him, and made my way toward Dabi. "Deku!" I looked back at him. "I'm sorry, but, Kacchan, this-this is the only way to keep you and the others safe." Dabi gripped my wrist, and lead us back outside, to the hideout far from town.
