It wasn't long before they were moved back to the dorms after that. Sero still had casts on his arms, but could at least go home to rest in the comfort of his own home with his family and everyone with him.

Bakugou had returned home for a short while to see his parents and discuss with them what he wanted to do about his hearing. But he came back to the dorms as well. It was clear he was struggling though. He couldn't do a lot of the things he normally did.

Kirishima saw that more than some of the others, as he was the one that heard Bakugou scream 'WHAT THE F*CK!? HOW DID THEY GET DIRTY??? I CLEANED THEM TEN MINUTES AGO!!!' At his glasses at least twice a day.

Then people pretty much got blown to pieces when they entered his room without asking when they really had knocked for three minutes before finally going in to let him know dinner was ready.

Sometimes at night, Kirishima should hear quiet popping from the other room, like he was doing his explosions right against his ear again to see if he could try to hear it.

But Kirishima had left him alone for the most part. He had spoken with the others about learning sign language, and had already learned a little bit himself, but there was no point if Bakugou didn't understand it, and didn't want to.

"He's going to need someone to help him." Aizawa spoke. He had come to the dorms to check on the injured students and make sure they were all doing alright, along with seeing if they were ready to return to class yet.

"He doesn't want help though." Mina claimed as she glanced at the blonde eating his lunch at the table. Violently- as usual.

"I know, but when it comes to school, he is going to need someone to help him get his notes, and make sure he still learns what he needs to know. We've been discussing with his parents, and it looks like they're going to try and get him hearing aids, but until they are able to afford them, and acquire them, Bakugou will need help." Their teacher explained further. He made sure they knew it was only a temporary thing and that eventually he might not need help anymore.

But if they didn't get hearing aids for him, what would that mean for him?

Would he have to pull out of the hero course?

Just because he couldn't hear?

"I'll help him. He's been tutoring me for months now, the least I could do is help him." Kirishima spoke up.

"Yeah and we're all looking at learning sign language too!" Kaminari said brightly. "So if we can just get him to learn it, it'll be easier for him."

"You guys are learning sign language?" Uraraka questioned, leaning forwards in her seat to examine the 'bakusquad'.

Mina nodded. "Yeah. It's Bakugou. He's our friend. I think we had all been thinking about it after what happened, but Kirishima got us going and found a website online that teaches a lot of it to us."

Kirishima grinned and punched his fists together. "We can give you guys the website too! It'll be good for everyone to be able to talk to him!" He exclaimed, his shark-like teeth shining in the light of the living room.

Aizawa sighed tiredly and nodded. "I'll speak to the other teachers about it as well, sign language may come in handy in hero training as well; for time when we can't be talking, or other emergency situations." He said with a nod. He shoved his hands into his pockets gently. "I'm glad you guys are trying though." He said softly before he stepped towards the door. "Oh, and you four will be returning to your normal classes on Monday." He told them as he stepped out, leaving the students to talk amongst themselves.

"I would like to have that sight if it's ok." Uraraka finally spoke. Mina nodded and stood up to go show the site to her on her phone.

"So would I." Momo said as she joined them, Iida followed and it didn't take long for the rest of the class to join after that.

"What the f*ck are you dumba*s' doing?" Bakugou asked as he approached the living room, seeing everyone gathered around Mina with her phone.

Kirishima and held out both of his hands before signing;

'We're learning to sign for you'

Bakugou stared at his hands. "I don't know that sh*t." He spoke, his voice a bit too quiet for someone like Bakugou.

Kirishima took out his phone and held it up for Bakugou to see and then texted him the same thing he'd signed. Bakugou's gaze lingered on his phone before it trailed to Mina and everyone looking at the signs.

"This is how to do Kachaan?" Midoriya asked Mina as he spelled out the name. The pink girl smiled and nodded.

"I think so!" She exclaimed.

Kirishima smiled at them and looked back at Bakugou.

"You're all a bunch of morons." He huffed loudly as he turned away to walk back to his dorm.

'Yelling. ~K'

Bakugou paused his walking to check the text and then flipped Kirishima off. The redhead smiled a small bit before he jogged to catch up to him. He sent the link to the sign language website to him in texts before he shoved his phone in his pocket and gently pat Bakugou's shoulder, simply walking with him to his room.

"Stop following me Sh*tty hair." Bakugou growled. Kirishima shrugged and motioned to his own room being right next to Bakugou's. He grinned as he opened his door, as though he had always intended to go to his own room.

He felt his phone vibrate again and glanced at it.

'd*ck ~B'

'Plan? ~Mina'

'Plan. ~K'

Kirishima slipped his phone back into his back pocket without replying to Bakugou, making his way into his room and flopping on his bed to get some rest before he started studying for the school he'd missed and the work study he would have to be getting back to soon. Plus he had to be ready and energized for their plan.

~

Kirishima gently opened the door to Bakugou's room, Kam and Mina following him in, Kam with two boxes, and Mina with a small step ladder. They looked at Bakugou to make sure he was sleeping before they looked at each other. Kaminari placed a figure to his lips to tell them to be quiet. Mina and Kirishima stared at him blankly.

"He's deaf, dummy." Mina reached out and flicked Kaminari's forehead with a light laugh. Kam rubbed the back of his neck nervously as he remembered and then nodded.

"Right, sorry." he said as he put the boxes on the ground and opened the smaller one. While he did that, Mina set up the ladder, and Kirishima made sure Bakugou stayed asleep.

"Alright, let's make sure it works first." Mina said gently. She got up on the ladder and reached for the item from Kam's hands. He gladly handed it up to her. She gently pressed it to the door and reached to the other side of the door, knocking on it gently. She smiled brightly as the light lit up. "Wow that is bright..." She whispered. All three of them glanced at Bakugou to make sure he was still asleep.

"Well yeah, it's supposed to get his attention." Kirishima spoke. Mina traded places with him on the ladder, he took the light and waited for Kam to hand the screwdriver up to him. Once he had it, he began to attach the light to the door.

"Mina, can you attach the other side of it?" Kirishima asked, she nodded and helped Kaminari look for another screwdriver.

Kirishima examined the light on the top corner of the door with a smile before he climbed back down from the ladder and folded it back up, placing it off to the side.

"I got the other side attached." Mina said as she poked her head back into the room. "Time to draw the symbols." She smiled brightly. Kam grabbed the boxes, while Kirishima grabbe the ladder, moving them to the hallway and looking at what Mina had done on the outside of the door.

There was a small screen in front of them that asked them to pick a color and draw or select a symbol to put on the light when someone selected it.

Mina drew a small picture of herself on the screen, putting emphasis on her alien-like features choosing a pink background. Kam drew a lightning bolt and then crinkled his nose, erased it, drawing a Pikachu and choosing a yellow background.

Kirishima drew a version of himself where his hair actually was sh*tty and then smiled. He looked over the three drawings and then gave the pen to Kam, since he was somehow the best artist of the three of them. He did all the other students of the class, and then the teachers as well. And then an emergency one that would state that something was wrong.

Kirishima peeked into the room once more and gently hit the button that would make his symbol appear. He watched as the light attached to the door lit up red and showed his face. He smiled brightly and glanced at Bakugou, still asleep on the bed.

"We're gonna make life easier for ya, step by step." Kirishima said softly. "Night, bro." He added before he stepped back out of the room and moved down the hall with Kam and Mina to put little lights on other areas of the house. Though Bakugou's door was the only one that had the fancy light that showed who was at the door. All the other ones were simple ones that lit up when the door was knocked on or the doorbell rang.

They put lights on the front door, the back door, on the microwave, toaster, and literally anywhere they could think of that might help Bakugou with using his sight instead of his ears.

That was the main thing they had thought of. Aside from that they didn't really know how else to help him. Kirishima gave everyone Bakugou's number though, so they could all text him when they wanted to talk to him.

Though. He already knew he was going to be in a hell of a lot of trouble just for that.

"What about for classes? He's not going to let us sit next to him and take notes through the whole class. So how are we supposed to help him with that?" Kam asked as he leaned back in his seat. It was nearly dawn so they had given up on the thought of going back to bed.

"We'll have to figure it out I guess. He might not want to have the notes given to him at the end of class, but if we can't sit next to him then that's how it'll have to be." Kirishima shrugged.

Mina stretched and yawned. "What I'm worried about is how he's going to do hero training, or how his work study is going to work... Who would want a kid who they can't even talk to?" Mina hummed.

It was true. All of them had been thinking about it since the moment they learned about Bakugou's issues.

What would happen if someone called out for help and he couldn't hear them? What happened if he got the hearing aids, and could hear, but broke them, or damaged them in battle? How was he supposed to be a hero?

"Well... for the work study. I actually have something arranged... I asked Fat Gum if he could come work with us.." Kirishima admitted. He remembered the day he had asked Fat Gum for a favor with a sigh. "Fat Gum and Amajiki have been struggling a bit since the battle to save Eri, with us being in the hospital for so long, and all of us having issues of our own to deal with, we had to put a pause on it; and it had to be done sometime. Didn't it? They just so happened to start the study back up a few days before the accident. So they really didn't get much help from me. So I asked if Bakugou could join us. Then I could at least keep an eye on him, and we would have more help down at the agency!" Kirishima felt himself smile once more.

Maybe it wasn't such a bad idea. If he could just get Bakugou to agree to it all.

'what the hell is on my door - and why the f*ck do I have texts from the dumba*s' in our class ~B'

"Bakugou is awake.." Kirishima mumbled nervously as he rubbed the back of his neck again and put his phone on the couch next to him.

"What'd he say? Has he done anything to the light and seen what it does?" Mina asked excitedly.

Kirishima shook his head. "Well then we could go test it out and show him how it works!" Kam said as he stood up and moved towards the stairs, motioning for the others to follow.

Which they did. They made their way up towards Bakugou's dorm and gently touched the device that worked the light.

It should have made the light flash twice to get his attention just when they turned it on. They could hear speaking from inside the room; same violent tone as their Bakugou, different level of sound.

Kirishima hit the red button with his face on it, Kaminari hit the picture he drew of Pikachu and Mina hit the picture of herself.

On the other side, the light should have been showing all three symbols on it and flashed once.

The door opened and he stared at them with a tired glare.

"I should blow all your brains out!" He snapped at them quietly. "What the f*ck is this!?" He continued.

Kirishima took out his phone.

'We installed a light on your door that lets you know when someone is knocking, and who it is. We added a few extra 'people' to show time, like dinner and stuff. We thought it'd make it easier for you; now people won't just walk into your room randomly. ~K'

Kirishima looked back to him with a sharp-toothed smile while Bakugou glared at the three of them further.

"Thanks Dumba*s'." He said simply before he shut the door.

The three stood silently in shock.

"Did he just thank us...?" Mina whispered.

"Oh my G*D HE'S GROWING!" Kam exclaimed, causing the other two to laugh.
