-(Sunday, 7 AM)-
Private messages between IcyT H O T and TheseEyebagsAreGucci
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Hey, Todoroki, you awake? Sorry if I woke you up or not, just answer me when you're up please.
IcyT H O T: Yes I'm awake. Why are you up so early?
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: I'm an insomniac. I slept for like, an hour and couldn't go back. Why are you awake?
IcyT H O T: Thanks to my traumatizing past, I've learned to wake up really early in case my father tried to beat me awake again. It just became a habit afterwards.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: ...oh
IcyT H O T: Lmao yeah, good times.
IcyT H O T: Anyways, what did you want?
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Well, I want to come up with a plan to confess to Ojirou maybe after the dance. But what I have planned will probably take the whole week.
IcyT H O T: Well, what did you plan already?
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Well I was thinking of asking him to the dance of course, but I wanted a way to maybe confess to him alone during the middle of it, like take him back to the dorms where it could be just us.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: I'm bad at speaking my feelings, so I was thinking of confessing using a song. I was thinking of using my violin, but for the song I want to use, it's actually better to use a guitar. I also probably wanted to have a small dinner date for us since the food at the dance will mostly be just snacks as my dads told me. What I really need is guitar lessons, and ideas of where to go.
IcyT H O T: Well what song do you want to play for him? How easy is it?
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Um, I wanted to play him Fly Me to the Moon, it's all just chords and pretty easy, I also took a few guitar lessons as a kid, but not a lot, I only know how to play the really easy songs and I'm not the greatest with chords.
IcyT H O T: Aw you're so sappy and adorable.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Oi shut up
IcyT H O T: Never, but for the lessons, Jirou should be able to teach you easily after school. She usually hangs out with Momo, and Momo just loves to teach people, so the both of them could maybe help you actually. You're both part of the emo squad as well, so she'll help you.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: That's actually a good idea. I also wanted to tell everyone else in the emosquad since 1, they're all pretty trustworthy and 2, you're all dating someone. Also Satou since he would probably have good restaurant suggestions. Him and Kouda go out a lot.
IcyT H O T: Good point. The emosquad is also good with makeup, they'll make you all prettied up for your date.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Great. Maybe we should make a-
...
IcyT H O T has added TheseEyebagsAreGucci, O.K. KYO and 3 others.
IcyT H O T: Way ahead of you.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: ...oh
O.K. KYO: So you need Guitar lessons?
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Yes,,, god yes,,
O.K. KYO: I gotchu bro
Fucknugget: As do I. I can teach you whenever Jirou isn't available.
In the Arms of an Angel: I'm also closest with Ojirou aside from Hagakure, but I can keep a secret and I know a lot of Ojirou's favorite foods.
Fucknugget: He also has a great fashion sense, believe it or not.
In the Arms of an Angel: Yeah. Since I can't dress that fashionably, I try to help others with it. I'm also good at makeup.
Lemon Boy: ...Ei and I hung out a lot at restaurants before we started dating, I know a lot of restaurants around here, their times and prices.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Omg... Bakugou you're helping me???
Lemon Boy: SHKSHSKANWISK SHUT THE FUCK UP EXTRA
IcyT H O T: I threatened to send his mom the video of him doing the Macarena.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Ah, That makes more sense.
Lemon Boy: YEAH SO SHUT THE FUCK UP.
IcyT H O T: Satou said he would also help but his family's bakery is running low on staff today so he volunteered to help them. Basically he's at work.
O.K. KYO: And Momo said she'll help to. She was forced to go to a lot of dinner dates as a child and sometimes even now so she knows good etiquette and also good gift ideas.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: I,, didn't even need gift ideas,,, but that's a really good idea, thank her for me.
O.K. KYO: I will
Fucknugget: Believe it or not, Dark Shadow also wants you to come over since you guys haven't met yet. So you can come over right now for a lesson if you really want to. Shouji's here too.
Fucknugget: Actually, you all can come over, just don't make too much noise. Aoyama still has 7 minutes and 43 seconds left of beauty sleep before he has to wake up and... it's not pretty if you wake him up before it's time.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: I'm already getting ready. We're on the same floor anyways so I think I'll go down and grab breakfast too.
O.K. KYO: Good idea, we should all go down and eat so we can talk about this in person.
Lemon Boy: I'll be there, I have to meet up with Ei after his jog anyways. He may seem like a huge fuckin loudmouth, but he knows how to keep a secret if needed.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Good idea. Thanks guys.
IcyT H O T: Anytime Shinsou.
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: Wait, can I bring Tenshi?
Fucknugget: Who's Tenshi?
TheseEyebagsAreGucci: ...I'm bringing Tenshi
...
Shinsou's POV
I set my phone down at the edge of my bed and slide out, careful to not bother the sleeping angel right next to me. I carefully take my hand off of his head and crawl out, making the bed move as little as possible as I eventually stood up at the side and stretched out.
I crack my neck while grabbing a pair of regular black pajama pants with purple X's on the calves. I also put on a white tank top and a black jacket with purple zig-zags on the elbow-length sleeves and sides. After I quickly finish getting dressed, I carefully pick up Tenshi and cradle his sleeping figure in my arms, his tail flops out just slightly and you can see the tip of one of his paws poking from between his chin and my arm. I give him a little morning kiss and walk out after putting my phone back in my pocket, not really bothering to fix my hair.
He twitches around a bit while he sleeps and starts purring, I smile down at him as I walk to the elevator, until I suddenly hear a gravelly and slightly-pissed voice come from down the hallway.
"What are you smiling at, Mindfuck?" Bakugou waves at me, then putting his hand back in his pocket. We've grown a mutual respect for eachother, maybe even an aquaintanceship. I wouldn't go as far as to say we're friends... but he does like me more than the others, maybe 2nd place after Kirishima, which is actually pretty good the more that I think about it...
"Answer my question." He says blankly and stares sternly up at me, I just smile as he walks closer and he looks down more, now noticing Tenshi in my arms. For a moment, his hateful expression goes away as he stares at Tenshi.
"When did you get a cat?" He says, purely curious.
"Yesterday, I adopted him right as we were about to leave the café." I answer him and step into the elevator with him just as soon as he's caught up with me.
"Ooooh, that's what took you so fucking long." He says, the annoyance lacing his tone completely insincere.
"Yeah. He's sweet, though. His name is Tenshi." I smile down at the sleeping cat again and scratch his back lightly. I see Bakugou out of the corner of my eye looking at the cat, eyeing it and looking like he's holding himself back from something. I straighten back up and look to him.
"You can pet him if you'd like, he doesn't bite or scratch and he sleeps pretty heavily." I say and turn a bit to face him, Tenshi now right in front of him.
"Tch, whatever..." he says quietly and places his hand on top of the cat's head, stroking and scratching his head gently.
"Wow, I didn't think you were capable of being careful."
"Shutthefuckup!" He whisper yells at me, probably trying to not wake up the cat.
"Never." I laugh at him, he gives me a death glare, muttering something about a "purple Guzma lookin headass."
The elevator finally gets to the main floor, and we walk out, looking at everyone sitting at the bar of the kitchen. They all look at us and wave.
"What's up, it's ya boi, purple Guzma." I wave and smile tiredly at them all. Bakugou groans to the side of me but stops rigid in his tracks, yanking me back by the shoulder and saying something quickly.
"I forgot, Kirishima always does his morning jogs with-"
He's interrupted by the door opening, revealing Kirishima.....
And Ojirou.
The squad at the bar look at Ojirou and Kirishima, some of them looking panickedly back at me. I tear my eyes away from the two of them and look at the bar. Bakugou's gaze was as hardened as ever, but lightened a little once Kirishima smiled and waved at him.
"Morning Katsuki!" He rushes over and kisses him quickly on the lips, Bakugou smiles just barely and kisses him on the forehead. Saying a quick "mornin' Ei." Before Kirishima eventually turns to look at me and Tenshi.
"Hey, morning Shinsou! Who's this??" He looks down at Tenshi in my arms, who was now awake and looking brightly up at Kirishima.
"Oh um... this is Tenshi... I adopted him yesterday while we left the café." I say a little nervously, looking straight at Kirishima and trying my best to not look over at Ojirou, who was approaching quickly. Kirishima smiled brightly down at Tenshi.
"He's so cute! Can I pet him?" I nod quickly and immediately and pats him on the head. Tenshi paws at his hand, but doesn't scratch him. I take note of how close Ojirou's footsteps are getting.
"Awww, what a sweetheart." He pulls his hand away, then looking over to everyone at the bar.
"Hey guys! What's going on out here?" He beams at everyone and Todoroki answers quickly.
"It's a secret." He nods and Kirishima does a quick ':0' face.
"Oooohh...well, have fun! Ojirou and I are heading out again to the training rooms to spar, sorry I couldn't stay longer to chat!" He says as Ojirou finally stops next to him, the look on his face was... a little sad, but mostly just neutral.
"Yeah,, morning everyone." He waves weakly to them.
"Okay, I can tell you everything later, just please bring your fucking water bottle this time... I don't want you dehydrating again." Bakugou scolds him almost. Kirishima just laughs and nods.
"I won't, bye!" He waves and pecks Bakugou on the cheek quickly before running up the stairs. Ojirou walks after him, muttering a quick "morning..." quiet enough for only me to hear. It makes my heart hurt to be honest.
I quickly shake it off and walk to the bar, Bakugou following not too closely behind.
"Hey, you okay dude?" Jirou looks curiously at me, I give her a quick forced smile and nod. She glares suspiciously at me for a moment before shrugging and going back to eating her toast.
"Anyways, would you mind refreshing us on the plan you had in mind, Shinsou?" Tokyo looks at me, fully attentive and leaning against the bar table. I nod and quickly pull out stuff to make cereal while I explain, also setting Tenshi on a chair.
"The plan is basically, ask him to the dance, if he says yes, then midway through the dance I'll take him out to get something to eat, maybe not something too filling, and then take a nice walk back to the dorms, invite him into my dorm, and play the song and confess. But if he says no, then the plan is to cry." I say simply while making the cereal, then finishing my explanation and walking over to the bar table and sitting down to eat.
They all look between eachother.
"...just cry..?" Shouji finally speaks up. I shrug.
"If he says no, then... he's obviously not interested... right..?"
"...no, he could be overwhelmed. I say if he says no, maybe still try something else maybe another day." Shouji explains a bit more. I nods quickly and take it into consideration.
"Putting aside the whole fucking "if he says no" situation, maybe take him to an ice cream parlor. They have regular food, and then order ice cream afterwards to walk back to the dorms with. Nothing, and I mean fucking nothing, is more romantic than a romantic stroll with ice cream." Bakugou says seriously, then leaning back in his chair and laying his feet up on the table.
"Also, if you actually cry and wimp out, I will throw my shoe at you right fucking now and also spill my cereal.." He glares at me, but more playfully.
"Ah, thank you for your wisdom, Bakugou." I laugh quietly at him.
"But actually, that sounds like a great idea. You can never go wrong with an ice cream date." I say and everyone nods.
"Also if you touch my Cookie Crisps, I will not hesiate to throw down, bitch."
"Is that a fucking challenge, purplefuck?"
"You bet your ass it is, Mr. I-main-Sniper."
"DO NOT BRING THAT UP MR. MEDIC-MAIN."
"FIGHT ME IN DUSTBOWL, BITCH."
"I FUCKING WILL!" He shouts back to me, but we end up breaking into a fit of laughter. Todoroki shakes his head at the two of us as he pets Tenshi, who is sitting on his lap with his two front legs up on the table.
"...so I'm guessing everyone is finished then?" Tokyo sighs. Everyone nods and stands up after putting away their dishes, including myself. We walk into the elevator, and while we're walking, Bakugou mutters to me.
"This isn't over, I'm actually fighting you on Dustbowl after this you bastard."
"Right back at you. You're going down."
"Fuck you.
"Fuck you too, but no homo."
-----------------------------------------------------
-(Wednesday, After school)-
"-Dm7....E6...and...GM9" I struck each of the chords once on the guitar. Jirou nods carefully.
"Are the fingerings comfortable for you?"
"Yeah... they all feel ok, it just switching between them is a little tough, especially D7 and GM7." I look up to her and flex my hand.
"Ah, that's natural. What helped me learn to switch between two chords was just doing it over and over again, so try that." She says and I nod quickly. I look back down at the guitar but sit straight, I do a continuous cycle on the fretboard between D7 and GM7. My hand starts to cramp a little bit... but I should be ok, right?
"Relax your grip and don't press down so hard, it can badly damage your fingers." She says calmly and quietly. I nod again and and loosen up without looking from my fingers and the strings. I continue to do the cycle until it's basically all done on instinct, and I'm switching between the chords subconsciously without thinking.
"You look like you're getting the hang of this actually, try playing without looking at the strings." I nod again and slowly look up, I blankly look at the wall behind Jirou and Yaoyorozu, only focusing on the fingerings. But, I start to mix up a couple and overthink where my fingers are placed and I mess up the chords.
"Aw...dammit.." I mutter to myself and look back down at the frets.
"Hey, you actually did really good for just being a beginner. I know you already have music experience with violin, but still, that was pretty good." She smiles encouragingly up at me, I smile back at her.
"Yeah, but guitar is still kinda different... it feels like there's a lot more stretching with my left hand... and having to make sure the strings in my strokes are heard clearly. It's a bit more difficult for me." I laugh nervously and she nods.
"Honestly, I understand. It's hard to keep track of at first but you get used to it. And you're a fast learner, you shouldn't have too much of a problem. I nod at her again, then, Yaoyorozu pipes up next to her.
"Before you start practicing again, I suggest getting an ice pack and stretching out your hand before it cramps too badly." She says while petting Tenshi's head in her lap, she then holds her opposite forearm out.
"Here, I can make one for you." She says and I start to see a pink and blue glow before I cut her off.
"Oh no no it's okay, we should have one downstairs, I'll just go get it. I need to stretch out my legs anyways, and I'd rather you keep your energy." I wave a hand in front of me and she nods, pulling her arm back. I stand up after she does so, setting the guitar carefully back up in it's stand.
"I'll be right back." I wave at the two and walk out, immediately making my way to the staircase. Once I get to it, I basically run down the steps until I get to the first floor, then jogging into the kitchen and opening the freezer, grabbing an ice back, and setting it in the palm of my hand which also stretching it out. The inflammation in it calms down a little bit.
Letting out a sigh of relief, I grip onto the ice pack and grab a cup from the cabinets. I fill it up with tap water (the same that turns the frogs gay) and take a sip, setting it down on the counter and pressing the ice pack in my palm longer while stretching. I hear footsteps on the stairs and don't think anything of it, until, I hear someones voice behind me.
"If you're having hand cramps or aches, try placing it on the wrist instead." I jump at the bereft voice, looking behind me, I see Ojirou once again. His eyes look cloudy to be honest, and like I said, his voice sounded hollow. I look nervously at him.
"Sorry if I startled you." He shakes his head and forces a smile up at me. I sigh a little and avoid eye contact, looking down at my hand and pressing it into my wrist instead... he's right, it does feel pretty reliving right away.
"Oh.. uhm, thank you.. for the tip." I nod at him, still looking down and tense. He sighs.
"....I have a couple of bandages in my room I can get for you to wrap the pack around your wrist...?" He looks at me again, the tip of his tail wagging just slightly with the slightest amount of hope in his voice.
"Uhm, Yeah, That would help, thanks." I nod, looking a bit more at him. He smiles down at me and walks back to the stairs.
"I'll be right back!" He calls to me, his tail started wagging a lot faster from what I saw as he left. As soon as he was out of my eye sight, I felt a bubble in both my chest and my stomach, it was painful and agonizing, but it felt different. It didn't just hurt physically... or emotionally... it felt like something balling up, building up, and oozing.... it crawled up the back of my throat and slipped onto my tongue... it felt slimy, with little chunks inside, and it burned. Dear god, did it burn.
Eventually I realized what it was, just in time as well, I felt all the heat in my body absolutely drain and I immediately felt my body break into a cold sweat. All the heat centered in the pit of my stomach, only adding to all of the- oh Jesus Christ.
Before I process what's happening, I'm full on sprinting to the closest bathroom in the building. I run and feel it boil further with every step I took. I ram into the bathroom door with enough force to fracture a bone and slam the toilet seat open, cracking it against the head as my guts and intestines feel like they cut open and fill the toilet bowl. Everything is emptying inside of me, and forcefully coming all out at one end of my body. It just doesn't stop, it keeps coming. I knew being near him made me feel nervous and it hurt... but I never knew it was to this extent.
As soon as I feel like I have nothing left to vomit up, and after I finish the god awful dry-heaving, I lay my head down on both of my arms above the toilet bowl, the smell of my vomit filling my senses and it's almost enough to make me vomit again, but I've drained literally all of my energy. I'm not strong enough to reach up and flush to toilet, not strong enough to call for help, not even strong enough to move my head. I'm just laying there in agony, hot tears brewing in my eyes and falling in huge drops onto my sleeves, it felt like blood. I was panting like crazy, unable to catch my own breath.
"Shinsou...?" I hear Ojirou's muffled voice, which makes the heat center around my stomach once more.
"Ha....Ha..hehhh....Hah Heree....." I manage to lift my head up and say through barely manageable pants. I don't even know if he heard me, but I hear quiet footsteps gradually get louder, and my stomach ties into another knot. I start to dry heave again, quieter, but just as awful. This time, I feel chunks fly from the back of my throat, pieces that wouldn't escape from before. They fall into the toilet, but it's so dense and full at this point that there isn't any sound once they hit the bile. Opening my dreary and blurry eyes, I see red. As well as vomit, there also seems to be... a lot... a lot of blood in the mixture.
I try to sit up forcefully, but my body goes limp immediately and I fall backwards, hitting my head against the rough wall, dragging down painfully across until the side of my face lands on the side of the bathtub. I feel the intense impact, but don't have any strength in me to even react to the pain. I just stare up at the bright ceiling, eyes bleak and empty with blood and vomit running down my chin and all over the front of my shirt and some on my arms. I honestly think I look like a zombie, and I can't even see myself.
"Ochi.... Ojirrr.... Ojirhhh.." I can't process anything I say, every breath and word that comes out of my mouth feels numb, like I'm not even speaking. I know this all sucks now, and it feels both painful and like nothing at the same time, but I know for a fact this is all purely from nervousness and stress, not an illness. Nervousness that only gets to this level around Ojirou. If anything, this makes me a little scared of him. But... I shouldn't blame this on him, it's not his fault he makes me nervous, it's me, blowing everything out of proportion. It's my fault that this happened.
I hear the faint footsteps from before get louder and louder... then, I hear a scream.
"SHINSOU!!!" My eyes shift to the side and see a fuzzy figure that's definitely Ojirou. He rushes to my side, barely even bothered by the awful smell filling the room. He sits next to my body and pulls me to sit up against him.
"Can you hear me??? Can you speak????"
"Hhhh.. mm..mmhn..mhm mhm."
"Okay.. mhm... that means yeah.. okokok... we need to get you to recovery girl."
"Nnno...heree..staeee."
"You can't stay here!!!!"
"Clea....cleeen... uhp..." I try to sit up by pushing off of my arms but I collapse once again and fall to the side. Luckily, he catches me.
"Goddammit, goddammit, goddammit, ok ok fine!" He opens the sink cabinet, dragging me slightly at he reaches up high and turns on the faucet, wetting the rag. He then starts to wipe down my face and my arms. I feel like such a burden. A liability. Having to be taken care of.
"Okay... we're getting you- WHY IS THERE BLOOD ON THE WALL??????" My eyes look up and I see a huge, and I mean huge streak of blood leading from the wall to the tub.
"Bek...bak..hed. Bak uf head." I say and he immediately feels at the back of my head, he removes his hand and it's covered in blood.
"FUCK!!!" Ojirou yells and pulls out his phone, scrolling through frantically and propping it up against his shoulder.
"DON'T ASK ANYTHING, COME DOWN TO THE BATHROOMS ON THE FIRST FLOOR, BRING SHOUJI." He screams to the person over the phone and then hangs up after, letting his phone fall and slide across the floor.
"Shinsou you'll be alright.."
"Skul... not broken...scrapeddd..." I try to explain, but I must've hit my head fairly hard since formulating proper words was still a little difficult, and my throat felt swollen, charred and full because of all the stomach acid that forced itself out.
"Ok...that's better than it being broken...but Jesus Christ how did this happen???" He asked more to himself.
"Can you stand?!?"
"Nnn.."
"Ok, Shouji...and Todoroki... are on their way." He says, his voice quivering. He continues to wipe me down, but some remnants of blood are stuck to my body.
"Ok.. Shinsou.. can I take your shirt and jacket off?" My eyes look down at my shirt and my jacket. They're covered in vomit and blood. Damn we're going to need some intense dry-cleaning to get this out. I really liked this outfit too. I nod my head weakly against his chest.
"Alright..." he says and pushes me up slowly against the sink cabinet for support. He grabs the jacket and peels it off slowly, I have some exposed cuts on my arms, so getting it in contact with vomit will probably infect it. He carefully removes it and throws it to the side. Then he supports me up with his tail and grips the bottom of my tank top, I raise my arms as best as I can to help him take it off easier, he grabs one of them to stabilize it while taking off one side, and does the same to the other, then tossing my shirt over on top of the jacket. He also grabs the bandages he said he would get from before and wraps them around my head in a semi-thick layer to stop the bleeding at the back.
"Ojirou! What's wr- OH MY GOD!" Todoroki stands in the doorway, then immediately covers his mouth and nose, looking at the two of us on the ground. Behind him, I also see Tokyo and Shouji, pure shock on their faces.
"It's Shinsou! He vomited... A LOT. I don't know exactly what happened- I wasn't here- but look at this place!" They look beyond him into the horror that was the bathroom, it literally looked like a murder scene. Blood caked the wall and dripped onto the floor, the toilet was still filthy as the seat was cracked and the bathtub also had blood covering it, and apparently the floor was also bloody, and the door was completely off the hinges, a huge hole almost clean in the center... that's a big oof.
"Help me carry him- take him to my room!" He says and lifts me up, immediately I'm taken by Shouji, who carries me on his back as if I'm nothing to him.
"We got this Ojirou! Go get Recovery Girl!" Todoroki shouts and I feel myself bounce as Shouji runs to the staircase. Tokyo and Todoroki follow quickly behind us.
"Tokoyami! Can you go get him some food and water?? Something to replenish his strength for when he wakes up???"
"On it!" He shouts and runs off into the kitchens, leaving Todoroki and Shouji.
"Shouji! I'm going to my room to get extra thermal blankets and pillows! Get me once he's in bed!"
"Alright!"
Nevermind, it was just Shouji now.
He carried me up the stairs to Ojirou's room, opening the door and immediately uncovering the sheets. He dropped me down as gently as he could in the bed, careful not to hurt my pale, weak and lifeless figure, as soon as I was tucked in and slightly warm, he runs out, and I'm completely alone.
It was quiet, the room smelled like him, and made me so, so unnerved. His scent filled up my senses and overloaded me, causing me to hyperventilate, and make even more tears stream down my face. I couldn't move, I couldn't calm down, I couldn't speak, I was having an attack and no one was here to help me.
I gasped for air, I breathed hard and fast, I tried to claw out of bed but only failed miserably every time. This continued until I heard a cut-off scream, and blacked out.
(A/N: Shinsou isn't dying, I'll tell you that much just in case you were worrying.)
