By the end of the day, Bakugou had been sent to the clinic when he had calmed down a little bit, Aizawa telling Kirishima that he was sick and acting weird because of that.

Bakugou heard the last bell ring but didn't get up, curled up in a ball on one of the beds in the clinic.

Recovery girl didn't seem to mind him being there so he didn't bother getting up, besides he already knew what Midoriya would say when he got to the dorms.

Midoriya wouldn't say it right out but it was his fault he was like that.

Bakugou let it happen, even encouraged it near the end of last year.

He knew it was true, there wasn't even a doubt.

Bakugou didn't even notice Aizawa walking in the room after the school day ended, "Bakugou, schools over, come on."

Bakugou sat up after a few moments, "Sorry." He got up, before getting dizzy and sitting down again.

"Dizzy?"

"I'm fine." He stood up again, ignoring how dizzy he was, letting it stop spinning before walking towards the clinic exit.

"Bakugou."

"What?" He looked at his teacher.

"You wanna tell me what happened?"

"I don't, no." He left the room, Aizawa sighing and following.

"Your stuff is in the classroom." They walked to the classroom, "I sent Kirishima to the dorms, he was waiting for you, you know."

"Not surprised." Bakugou slung his bag over his shoulder, grabbing his notebooks, putting hem in, he checked his phone.

'Sixteen unread messages'

He sighed, checking the texts from Todoroki first.

'What happened?'
'Kirishima said you're sick.'
IcyHot

He ignored them.

Three texts from Midoriya,

'Kacchan?'
'Are you okay, people are saying you were sick!'
'If you didn't feel well this morning you should've said something!"
Deku

'I'm fine, I have the notes for the first half the day, you're going to have to ask Ponytail, or Glasses for the notes from after lunch.'
Delivered

He looked at Kirishima's texts

Six messages,

'Bakugou?'
'I'm sorry I pressured you earlier'
'I wouldn't have bothered you if I knew you were sick'
'Aizawa made me go back to the dorms, sorry I didn't wait'
'I would've if I could.'
'I'll see you at the dorms.'
Kirishima 🦈

'It's fine, Kirishima, I'm fine.'

The other texts were just from the rest of the Bakusquad saying sorry or hoping he feels better.

He huffed.

"Your lie worked."

He put the phone in his bag, and walked to the door where Aizawa was waiting.

They both walked out of the building, heading towards the 1A dorms, Bakugou hovering away from Aizawa, staring at the ground, clearly uncomfortable next to the teacher that he started crying in front of.

"Bakugou, I need to know what happened to help." Aizawa sighed.

"Yeah, well I don't need help, so it's fine." He muttered.

"Does someone else need help?"

Bakugou looked at the dorm building in front of them. "No." He walked faster, walking up the steps of the dorm and entering quickly.

He walked in and saw Kirishima sitting at the table, tapping his fingers.

He was waiting for him.

He looked over and saw Todoroki and Izuku both on a couch, asleep.

"Bakugou!" Kirishima stood up, "You're here."

"Wow, I didn't know that! Thanks Shitty hair!" He rolled his eyes as Kirishima walked over.

He nodded and reached out, pressing his hand against his head.

"What're you doing?!" He looked at Kirishima as he leaned away from him.

"Checking your temperature, Sensei said you were sick." Kirishima spoke, reaching out again, setting his hand on his forehead, "You don't have a fever.."

Bakugou huffed and looked away, "I told you I was fine."

"Yeah but you missed half the day! Plus you were acting weird- that isn't 'fine'!" He crosses his arms, looking at Katsuki.

"Yeah well, I'm fine now." He glared weakly.

Kirishima frowned, "Why won't you just tell me the truth."

"I am, I'm fine shitty hair!" He turned and headed to his room.

Kirishima followed, "Bakugou, come on, you're not fine!"

"Yes I am." He growled.

"Bakugou!"

"What?!"

He stopped in front of the door.

"Just tell me, you're sick okay? I want to help."

"I'm not sick, okay? I'm not sick, I skipped after lunch, Aizawa found me, and he let it slide cause he assumed I was sick." He grumbled.

Kirishima looked at him, "...but something is still wrong!"

"I'm fine, Okay!" He opened the door to the room and slammed it, sitting down on his desk, sighing, holding his head in his hands. He sat there, ignoring Kirishima talking to him through the door.

Midoriya heard a loud yell and a door slam as he sat up quickly, he looked around, alert, after a minute he saw Kirishima walking into the common area, clearly upset.

Todoroki opened his eyes, "Midoriya..?" His voice was quiet, looking at the broccoli boi (A/n I refuse to apologize)

"Kirishima? What happened?" Midoriya looked slightly scared at the noise.

"Bakugou came home, I tried to get him to talk to me but he kept saying he was fine." Kirishima groaned, clearly just wanting to help his friends.

Midoriya frowned, "Sorry."

"It's not like it's your fault, he's just so stubborn he won't listen."

Todoroki sat up, "That does sound like Bakugou."

"Yeah well, it's worse today."

Izuku flinched, "Sorry, I'm gonna head to my room... sorry." He got up, and Todoroki looked at him, getting up himself.

Kirishima looked at them, catching Todoroki's attention before he followed Izuku out, "Todoroki!"

"Ah, yes?"

"You know what's going on don't you, that's why you were texting Bakugou this morning?" Kirishima stared, "You guys aren't sick either are you?"

Todoroki stared for a few seconds, "I'm sorry Kirishima, it's not my place to say."

Todoroki left, Kirishima possibly even more distressed than before.

"Damn it.."

Izuku knocked on Bakugou's door, Shoto walking up behind him, "Kacchan?"

"What?"

"We were gonna talk after you came home remember."

"Just... Tell Todoroki, I already know you tried to kill yourself cause of me." Todoroki made a concerned face, and Izuku winced and frowned, looking a bit surprised at both the bluntness and assumption.

"What?"
