Chapter 38
Warning: filler part 1
Ray's POV - A Few Days Later
I wake up to see I missed my run time, but I also see Katsuki is missing.
I see a note, saying he went on a run this morning and I look at it, very confused.
I shrug. "If Katsuki wants to start running, he can." I say and I get up and get ready for class.
I leave my tie untied as I head down to my fried kitchen. I end up having a bowl of cereal with no milk, because it went bad, because certain idiots blew up the fridge somehow.
I then head to class where Katsuki is sitting and I sit next to him. "Katsuki, how did your run go?" I ask him.
He shrugs and doesn't say anything.
I eye him for a moment, and he looks like he's deep in thought, that's when I know he lied to me.
I frown slightly but I let it slide.
Every morning for a week, this happens, and I get incredibly concerned.
I feel him leave before its my time to get up and go on my run, and I don't see him until class starts.
But I know its not my place to ask him what is going on, if he wants to tell me, he'll tell me.
This goes on for another few days and I go and find Kirishima at this point.
"Hey Ray, what did you need?" Kirishima asks me.
"So Katsuki isn't with you then?" I ask him.
"Something wrong with Bakubro?" Kirishima asks confused.
I shake my head. "Never mind, its in my head, Katsuki just keeps disappearing, telling me he is going on a run, he must actually be running right now then." I say and Kirishima raises an eyebrow.
"Your worried about that? What did you think he was doing?" Kirishima asks me.
I shake my head. "Ah, its nothing, never mind, sorry to bother you so early." I say and I head out for my own run.
I just end up walking this morning, in very deep thought.
"No, its in my head, its all in my head." I say as I shake my head to clear it.
But what if it isn't and Katsuki is doing something else? What if its bad? What if he's meeting somebody else in the morning and staying with them instead?
I shake my head. "Why would I care if Katsuki found anither person to hang out with at 5 something in the morning? He's a human being too, he can have friends." I say as I cross my arms as I walk.
"You look like your having trouble this morning." Shinsou says to me as he walks past me.
I sigh and run a hand through my hair, that I left down. "Its nothing, just worried about probably nothing, I shouldn't even mind it." I say and Shinsou nods and starts walking with me.
"Usually your running, so this must really get to you if your walking and thinking, and taking to yourself like a crazy person." Shinsou says to me.
"It's none of my business, and I'm unconsciously trying to make it my business, and I'm trying to stop myself, and it doesn't seem to be working, no matter how much i debate with myself about it." I say and Shinsou nods.
"I'm assuming you don't want to go into detail about whats bothering you then." Shinsou says to me.
I shake my head. "It isn't my problem, I shouldn't be getting worked up over this, but why is it so hard not to?" I ask.
"This is about Bakugou, isn't it?" Shinsou asks me.
I nod. "I can't get involved, its not my business if he leaves the dorms earlier than I do, for who knows what." I say and I shake my head.
Shinsou nods. "Well, your struggling with something that you should just, let go of." Shinsou says to me. "I have to go now, so I'll see you later." Shinsou says as he looks at his phone for the time.
I wave as Shinsou leaves.
I shake my head and I head back to the dorms.
"This is the first morning you haven't come back sweaty." Izu comments as I walk past him.
I hit my head on the wall. "Frustration and confusion left me walking today." I say and Izu nods.
"Why?" He asks me.
I cry laugh. "I don't know." I say and Izu nods.
"Well you should get changed, classes start soon." Izu says to me.
I hum and I head upstairs to my room.
I get changed into my uniform and I head to class.
I see Katsuki sitting in his seat, like every morning.
I sit down and put my head in my arms, internally debating with myself.
"These two are thinking." Mina says surprised as she sees both of us thinking.
That's another thing, Katsuki has been nicer to his friends, about as nice as he is to me.
I tap my fingers lightly on my arm as Aizawa starts to teach, but Mina and Denki annoy him, so he pulls a me and tries to leave by window.
"We aren't on the ground floor Sensei!" Tsuyu says worried.
He leaves anyways, and I just shrug.
I continue thinking, not really bothering to pay attention as everyone else leaves.
"Dumbass, class was dismissed for the day." Katsuki says to me and I snort and get up.
We leave together, just like everyday.
"So, what are you thinking about?" Ochako asks us.
"I don't know how to word this without sounding rude or needing help." I say to Ochako and she nods.
"What about you Bakugou?" Ochako ask him.
"Its nobodies damn business." He mutters and I get seriously worried, almost to the point that it shows.
"Well, Ray, do you know what Bakugou is thinking?" Ochako asks me.
"I don't even understand half of what I'm thinking." I say to her.
"That's a problem." Ochako says nervously.
"No this is a daily basis thing." I say to her, playing it off as a joke because I don't want to worry anybody.
Ochako nods. "Well good luck." Ochako says to us with a smile and she disappears down the hallways.
"What the fuck did that mean?" Katsuki asks me.
"What did what mean?" I ask him.
"What you just fucking said to round face." Katsuki says to me.
I raise an eyebrow. "Its true." I say with a small shrug as I continue walking.
Katsuki grumbles quietly and follows me, we head up to my room and he interrogates me about what I've been thinking about all day.
I just watch him as he explodes with anger.
"You women are so confusing!" Katsuki says to me annoyed.
I roll my eyes. "Confusing? I've been confused all day, because of you. Your lying about yours runs every morning, and your disappearing until class starts! I've been worried as hell about you, but I haven't asked because you always seem like you don't want to talk about it! So excuse me for trying to keep myself from poking around in your business!" I say to him in mind annoyance as I get up and I match his glare.
"I never asked you to get fucking worried about me! And what I do, is none of your fucking business anyways!" Katsuki says to me in clear annoyance.
This hurts me for some odd reason.
"I can't help it dumbass! You make it hard not to worry about you! You leave earlier than I do every morning, and I can feel you leave too, you never tell me where your going and not open with me anymore!" I say to him as I start to get upset and I think Katsuki sees that. "But yet, I haven't pushed it, because I thought it was all my head, because I can be an idiot." I continue.
Katsuki grumbles. "It is in your head, I am going on runs." Katsuki says to me and I see something flicker through his eyes, I don't know what it was though.
I know he's lying again.
I mess my hair up as I get frustrated. "Fine, if its in my head, its in my head, happy? Next time I won't give a shit if you start acting weird." I say to him after a moment of trying to cool off. "After all, your business isn't my business." I say to Katsuki and I end up leaving my own room with my bag.
I head out for a bit and I make sure to change clothes from my uniform, to a pair of black jeans and a black long sleeve.
I head to a park and I sit in a tree, on my phone.
Katsuki tries calling me, but I decide not to answer it.
I don't answer anyones calls, for hours.
I run a hand through my hair as I just stay in this tree.
"Ray?"
I look down to see Kendo and I look at her confused. "Hi." I say to her and she pulls me down with her giant hands quirk.
"What were you doing up there?" Kendo asks me confused.
I shake my head. "Just, cooling off." I say and Kendo nods.
She ends up listening as I talk about my fight with Katsuki and how for some reason he has been worrying me for a while now. When I'm done, Kendo hums. "I see, so all you were trying to do, was mind your own business about what he's been doing, and he got on your case a out it." Kendo says to me.
I nod with a small frown. "It's not my business. I don't have the right to meddle." I say and she nods.
"Hey, we're having a movie night in ny dorm house, you want to join us?" Kendo asks me.
I shrug. "Do I have a choice?" I ask her.
"Of course, why wouldn't you?" Kendo asks me confused.
I look at her surprised. "Usually my class just drags me along." I say and she nods. "I'll come." I say and Kendo grins.
We head back to her dorm house and she introduces me to everyone.
"Hey everybody, we have a guest tonight, her name is Ray Midoriya." Kendo says to the rest of her class.
"Your a friend of Eijiro!" Tetsutetsu says to me with a grin.
I nod. "I think so, I'm not totally sure." I say and Tetsutetsu nods.
"He said you were his friend." Tetsutetsu says to me with a grin.
"Ha? Is a 1A student here? Why is she here? Doesn't she belong with her class that's so popular?" Monoma goes on and I stop Kendo.
Kendo looks at me confused.
I just stare at Monoma. "It was never our intention to gain popularity, as for why I'm here, I've had a bit if a spiff with one of my classmates and I prefer not to be in his presence at the moment, and I'd probably still be sitting in a tree, if Kendo hadn't come find me." I answer to Monoma and everyone but him looks at me shocked, but I just stare at him calmly. "Besides, if you got over your superiority complex, you could see that our class has been training a lot to get stronger, we aren't perfect either, and we never will be, but we're gonna be hero's, and your complex isn't going to make us suffer." I say to Monoma and he smirks at me as I remain neutral.
Kendo smiles. "Well Ray? Are you just going to break up Monoma all night or are you gonna come with me to get changed?" Kendo asks me.
I shrug and she grins and brings me and a dark haired girl upstairs with me.
Us dark haired girls just stand together awkwardly as Kendo searches her closet.
"Ah, um, I never got your name." I say to the girl.
"It's Yui Kodai." The girl says to me.
I manage a smile. "Hopefully I'll remember it." I say to her and she nods.
We end up just talking about something random and Kendo is watching us with squinted eyes.
"You two are so bright." Kendo says to us and she hands us pajamas.
I change, and its a blue jumper with pajama pants.
Yui changes and so does Kendo and we head back downstairs.
Kendo ends up doing my hair as well watch a movie.
Monoma sits next to me and I look at him confused.
"Your cool." Monoma says to me and I sweat drop, unable to understand, but I go along with it.
After the movie ends, most of the girls and a guy or two, are in tears, except for me.
"Why aren't you crying? That was a sad movie!" Kendo asks me.
I swear drop. "Ah, well, it didn't have a dog." I say and and Kendo shakes her head.
"Impossible." Kendo says as she shakes her head, wiping her tears away.
"Well at least Ray is nice, unlike when we competed against her." Tetsutetsu says to everyone and they nod.
"If we spent more time around her, we'd probably see her quirks." Kendo says to Tetsutetsu.
"She has her quirks, I've spied on her." Monoma says with a smirk.
Kendo hits him on the head and I swest drop nervously.
"Like for instance, she'll stay up half the night playing video games, and when she's listening to music that makes her dance its"
This time I hit him on the head. "No more." I say and Kendo laughs.
"Shouldn't you get back to your dorms now?" Yui asks me curiously.
I look at the time on my phone, and I sigh. "Yeah." I say and Kendo pouts.
"You should stay the night." Kendo says to me.
Yui shakes her head at me, warning me not to.
I look between them, so confused. "I'd probably fair better if I stayed with Peter." I say and Yui nods.
"Oh come on!" Kendo whines and I shake my head.
"Nope, nope, nope, I don't do sleepovers with girls, the last time was traumatic." I say as I get up.
Kendo pouts.
I change into a bathroom and I nearly fold Kendo's clothes and I hand them back to her before I leave.
"Do you really have to go?" Kendo asks me.
I nod. "Yes, I do." I say and she lets me.
I head to Peter's dorm house and I knock on his balcony door.
He falls off his couch in surprise and he sees me.
Peter gets up and opens the door for me and I walk in. "Why are you here?" Peter asks me.
"I'd rather not be in my own dorm." I say and Peter looks confused.
"Why?" Peter asks me as he shuts the balcony door quietly.
I sit on his couch as he sits on his bed. "Katsuki, that's why." I say and Peter somehow coaxes me into talking about what happened.
"I think, your in love with him and you don't know it yet." Peter says to me with a smirk after I've finished.
I look at him confused. "What?" I asked him.
"Have you never been in love before?" Peter asks me and I shake my head. "Your 16 and you've never had at least a crush?" Peter asks me.
I shake my head. "No." I say to him.
Peter shakes his head in amusement. "And why not?" Peter asks me.
I sit back against his couch. "Because I don't want to make the wrong choice and get hurt, like how Mom did." I say and Peter nods.
"I don't think Bakugou would do that to you though." Peter reminds me and I sigh and put my chin on my knees. Peter looks at me as I stare at the ground. "You don't want to take that chance." Peter says to me after a few moments.
I look up at Peter. "Katsuki is nice to me, most of the time. And its not that he would intentionally hurt me now, at least I hope not. We spend a lot of time around each other, but in some possible way, we always fight about something stupid." I say and Peter nods. "And Mom, she loved Randy, till the end," I say and Peter sits next to me and side hugs me.
"Bakugou would never put a bullet between your eyes." Peter says to me.
I nod. "I know. But what if he likes somebody else, and not me?" I ask Peter.
Peter nods. "There is always that risk." Peter says to me.
"But what if he's been going to see somebody in the morning?" I ask him.
"Ray, nobody can compete with you, your strong, your beautiful, and your smart. I think Bakugou sees that for himself, with how much time you two spend together, I would be surprised if he didn't develop feelings for you." Peter says to me.
I look at the ground. "I can't tell him." I shake my head and Peter pats my head. "Nope, just gonna keep it a secret." I say and Peter nods.
"Coward." Peter says to me.
I sulk. "Shut up." I say to him and Peter laughs. "Just tell him how you feel." Peter says to me.
I shake my head. "Do you have any idea how hard it is to talk to him about my feelings without sounding petty?" I ask Peter and he shrugs.
Peter and I relax for a few minutes and Peter then looks at me. "Ray, did you ever go to therapy for Aunt Aqua's murder?" Peter asks me.
I shake my head. "No, I was immediately bounced into the foster care system." I say to Peter and he nods.
"Maybe you should get some counseling for that, it'll help your love life a lot more." Peter says to me with a smirk and I push him off the couch with my hands.
"I don't need help, I'm fine." I say to Peter and he snorts as he sits on the ground in front of me.
"Are you sure?" Peter asks me.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I say and Peter shakes his head.
"If your fine, why are you here?" Peter asks me.
I pout. "I'm avoiding Katsuki." I say and Peter shakes his head. "Besides, why can't I visit my cousin for a while?" I ask and Peter sighs.
"No." Peter says to me and I shrug and get up.
I stretch for a moment as Peter lookz unsure. "Fine, I'll go back to my dorm room, even though I'd rather not." I say and Katsuki tries to call my phone again.
I just kind of stare at it, when I realize there were voicemails.
I shut my phone off and I leave by window.
I then head to the park again and I sit in the same tree from before.
