《Unmasked (Depressed Bakugou x Todoroki)》Field Trip Pt. 2
Advertisement
So far the trip was going good if you don't count the rain, wind, and occasional large tree branch falling. Once it was almost an actual tree, but we all stopped it with our quirks. It still fell but not in our direction. It felt awesome to fight the wind. Come at me nature! Can't defeat me.
But you know what can defeat me? Everyone in our class. I'm way behind because of my absence from training. We weren't fighting each other but it was obvious they were all getting ahead.
At the end of the third day there Aizawa gave everyone a thumbs up and told them how to improve. For them it was only short things like, make sure to account for how the wind and rain will affect Mina's acid attacks and shit.
But with me he told me more than everyone in the class. I'm fucking weak. I'm weak and everyone knows it.
I stayed calm the rest of the day. Tried so hard not to break. When we were finally done I went into the cabin with everyone else. They wanted to check on me and talk to me. See if I was okay because I had been particularly quiet because I knew if I spoke more I'd break down.
Before any of them could talk to me I made my way to the bathroom and locked the door. I melted to the floor and cried silently. Knowing if I were any louder they would hear me. Shit why was I so terrible. Why can't I get any better. Why am I so weak???
I kept silently crying. I subconsciously dug my fingernails into my palms, harder and harder until they started bleeding. The blood dripping onto the floor.
"God damnit why am I such a fuck up." I yelled quietly. Not quiet enough as I immediately heard knocking on the door. The pounding of the door was light and quiet but it rung in my ears and collided with my heartbeat. Making it faster. I'm suffocating. I can't breathe.

I crawl away from the door, the pounding is still loud. Blood from my palms dripping onto the floor. Fuck. I cover my ears from the pounding. Blood from my palms getting on my ears. I try to dig deeper into my palms, causing more blood. Everything is suffocating me. I'm sweating and shaking. Shit shit shit. Why is the room spinning? Shit.
"Is Bakugou going to be okay? As class president, it is my duty to help everyone. And as his friend. It is also my duty to help him." Iida stated.
"I'm sure Kacchan is fine and just wants to be left alone for a little while." Midoriya tried to sound optimistic.
I walk over and lean against the wall, shrugging when I hear it. "God damnit why am I such a fuck up." Comes Bakugou's voice from the bathroom.
I walk over to the door and knock on it as slowly and calmly as I can. There's no answer.
"Bakugou?" Still no answer. I look at everyone, worried. They all share the same look. I knock again, this time a little louder. I raise my voice a little, "Bakugou!?" Still not answer.
Midoriya walks over and uses his hand and quirk to blast the door open. When he does and we look into the bathroom, the sight is horrifying.
Bakugou is in the middle of the bathroom on his knees, shaking and hyperventilating. His hands are bloody along with his ears and parts of his hair. Drops of blood are scattered around the floor leading up to him.
Before everyone can go up to him I hold them back.
"Let me. All of us will just overwhelm him." They quickly nodded and I walked into the bathroom closing the door.
"Hey, Katsuki." I say quietly. He either ignores me or cant hear me. I walk over to him and bend down. I slowly wrap my hands around him and put his head to my chest.

"Bakugou. Listen to my breathing." I make sure he can hear me. I breathe in and out slowly and calmly. We stay like that for more than a few minutes. Bakugou finally calmed and isn't shaking anymore. His breathing was also normal.
"Katsuki?" I say.
"Shouto." He leans his face deeper into my chest.
"What happened?" There was silence before he answered.
"I feel weak. I'm behind everyone. I can't do this." He'll continue to get weaker if he keeps doing that to his hands.
"Katsuki." I slowly pulled him away from me and looked into his eyes, he looked at mine, "You are not weak. You're the strongest person I've ever had the chance of meeting. No matter if you think you're weak or helpless. To me you are strong and confident. And you always will be. And I'll do everything in my power to help you realize that. Because things will get better."
Before I could tell what was happening Bakugou's lips quickly crashed into mine. And they left as quick as they arrived.
"I'm sorry. I was just-" I stopped listening. And I fully understood. Why I care so much about him. Why I want him to be happy. I mean I want Midoriya to be happy but not like this. But I get it now. Damn I'm dense.
I crashed my lips back into his. He I like him. No I love him. And I never want to let go of him.

The Curio Shoppe
Kellan Klein is an ordinary college student with an average, if traumatic and painful past. Everyone grows up grappling with depression and anxiety that seem to be genetic in a house with parents that, while loving, fight all the time and have weird ideas about what kids should and shouldn't do, right? Everyone deals with bullying, racism, judgement on their romantic inclinations and their family's economic status and just general shittiness, right? All of Kellan's friends sure did, and for all of them, entertaiment media were a welcome escape from their painful, dreary lives. After all, who wouldn't want to sail the seas with Monkey D. Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero? Kellan certainly wanted to, and while he pursued college to seek out a career he saw himself enjoying, something felt inexplicably empty about his life. So when a decidely sinister force kidnaps him and the prettiest man he's ever seen saves his life and offers him his wildest dreams, Kellan becomes the shopkeeper of a mysterious, dimension hopping shop, complete with a system that helps him acquire items. abilities, materials, and other cool shit to stock it with, as well as some other neat perks. Will Kellan become a boring overpowered MC, like the kind from web fiction that he reads to sate his boredom? Will he keep his generally kind, sweet nature despite the shit he's gone through and will go through, or will he inexplicably become a scary, violent, irrational arrogant douchebag? Will he use his newfound abilities to explore the multiverse and improve the lives of himself and others, or will he become his own antithesis, a purely mercantile jerk obsessed with money and profit, with no concern for anything that doesn't help or hurt his business? Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
