You gazed at Katsuki from across the classroom. No matter how much you looked over at him, he never looked back, and you deserved that.

Everything that Mr. Aizawa was explaining to your class was going in one ear and out the other. Whatever the fuck he was teaching would never be as important as thinking of what to say to your best friend.

For a moment you could have sworn he was turning in his seat to look at you, but in reality he was looking up at the clock on the wall above you. Unbeknownst to you, he too just wanted to get out of class. 

Not because he knew you would talk to him, or because he needed to talk to you, but to get away from you. He couldn't stand being around you without having you chatting away at his side.

As the last hour of class gradually ticked by, it was finally time for students to pack up. You wasted no time in quickly getting your shit together, prepared to follow Bakugou out of the classroom.

Even after all the thinking you did, you still had no idea what to say to him, but you figured that any other person in this situation would start with 'sorry.'

You watched as the ash blonde grabbed his backpack, shrugged off his friends, and headed straight out of the classroom. With that, you ignored all of your other friends greetings and rushed out into the hallway after him.

Just when you went to grab his shoulder, another student's shoulder crashed into yours, causing you to fall over. Of course the world had it's way of screwing stuff up with you.

Once you were finally back on your feet, you weren't exactly sure where the ash blonde went. However, after being friends with him and walking down the same pathway as him for a while, you went with your gut and followed his usual route.

After you got outside, you could finally spot him a little ways down the path, so you hurried after him as quietly as you could. You didn't want to seem dramatic.

"Katsuki?" The ash blonde boy winced at the feeling of a hand on his shoulder until he heard your voice and immediately knew who it was.

He huffed before turning around hesitantly.

"I'm so sorry!" Both of you blurted out simultaneously, causing both of you to take a step back in surprise.

"No! I'm sorry! I was a horrible friend! I never wanted to push you out like that! I let my emotions take over and wasn't thinking clearly, I never wanted to hurt you! I'm so sorry, Katsuki!" You clasped your hands together and bowed your head in front of him.

The blonde's eyes widened in surprise and he could feel his heart drop at the cracking in your voice. You almost sounded desperate for him to forgive you, and even if he didn't know it, you were. You had no idea how you would ever survive without the explosive boy by your side.

"It was my- fault... I shouldn't have pried into your fucking business like that! I didn't mean to push you away!" He watched as you kept your head facing the ground and avoided eye contact.

"Shut up! It wasn't your fault! I was the one who shut you out! You shouldn't be the one apologizing, I'm the one in the wrong!" In all honesty, you hadn't expected to hear an apology from him. Katsuki would be the last person that anyone would expect an apology from, especially over something stupid like this.

Your tear drops blurred your eyes as you kept looking down until you felt Katsuki wrap his arms around you and pull you into his chest. "You're such a fucking idiot, stop crying..." He rested his chin on the top of your head as you sniffled into his white uniform shirt.

"I'm so sorry," you clutched at the boys white button up as he moved to nuzzle his face into your hair. Why the hell were you being so emotional?

If anything, he was just glad you came back.

He ran his fingers along your back and rubbed circles into your shoulder blades until you pulled away and wiped at your eyes.

"I'm sorry for crying on your shirt," you sniffled, taking a deep breath to regain your normal state.

"I don't give a shit," the ash blonde stuffed his hands in his pockets and looked to the side. You were acting so soft towards him right now and he felt like if he looked at you he might slip up and blush. What a nightmare that would be, even though you were oblivious and wouldn't notice.

After receiving silence, Bakugou looked over at you to see your bottom lip quivering again. Turns out you misinterpreted his "I don't give a shit" and assumed that he was saying that about your apology, when in reality he had said that as a way of telling you that he didn't care if you cried on his shirt.

"H-Hah?! Stop crying, goddammit!" He quickly wiped at your face with his sleeve and tugged you into a hug once more in an attempt to get you to calm down. "Just what am I gonna do with you..." Katsuki hummed under his breath.

"I missed you so much! If you hadn't accepted my apology, I dunno what I would've done-" You remained clinging onto him.

The ash blonde softened at your words and the thought that you didn't know what you would've done without him. It made him feel better to know that you were also hopeless without him the way he was hopeless without you.

"I got too caught up with Shinsou and my feelings that I was careless and inconsiderate to the other people I care for," you admitted.

"Whatever, the fuck, you apologized so stop beating yourself up, idiot," he tried to speak softly although his naturally rough voice made it a little difficult.

"I guess," you loosened your grip on Bakugou's shirt. "He broke up with me and now I'm realizing all the stuff I did."

"HE DID WHAT?!" Bakugou's calm state was immediately overthrown with anger and you could feel his body tense in your arms.

"IT'S OK!" You reassured, pulling away to wave your hands around.

"DID HE HURT YOU?! THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH HIM?!" Small sparks emitted from the ash blondes palms.

"NO! Please! Be quiet!! You're gonna draw attention, stupid!" You grabbed his hands and pushed his arms back down by his sides in a worried manner. "He didn't do anything unreasonable! I promise, he wasn't mean and he didn't hurt me!"

Bakugou only continued to furrow his eyebrows. He didn't understand how someone could just break up with you. Why would anyone break up with you?

"He's stupid as shit! It's his loss!" Bakugou growled causing you to tilt your head in confusion. He turned back to face the pathway before starting to walk again.

After realizing that you weren't close to follow him, he stopped in his tracks and turned to look at you with a confused look plastered on his face.

"Well?! The fuck are you waiting for?! Let's go get ice cream or some shit-"

'That's something that girls do after they go through break ups, right?' He thought to himself.
