He came to slowly, feeling as if his head was full of cotton and he was hearing everything from underwater. He opened his eyes, blinking a few times to ward away the bleariness.
There was a man standing beside his bed. He couldn't see his face thanks to the messy black hair covering it, but by the fact that he currently couldn't remember his own name, he doubted he would recognize him even if it wasn't.
He sat up and looked the man up and down, inspecting him and trying to figure out who he was. He had looked over when he sat up and was studying him as well as he pulled two small devices out of his pocket and placed them on the bed.
Hearing aids.
“You have amnesia,” The man stated after he had put them in, and he snorted derisively.
“Yeah, no shit.”
The man raised an eyebrow at him, “Well, good to know you didn't lose any of your personality with your memories.”
He sighed and sat in the chair that had been pulled up beside the bed. Had someone else been waiting for him to wake up?
“Let's get this over with. Your name is Bakugou Katsuki, you are 15 and go to UA, a high school for aspiring heroes and your superpower is that you can detonate your sweat at will. I am Aizawa Shouta, your homeroom teacher and currently your guardian. You angered the wrong person apparently and the used their quirk to make you have temporary amnesia.”
Katsuki blinked and looked down at his hands. Yeah, he guessed that made sense.
“Who was in here before I woke up, who was waiting for me?” Aizawa seemed surprised he had asked, and Katsuki shrugged before explaining, “The chair was already pulled closer to the bed and you still have your jacket on, it wasn't hard to tell there was someone else here.”
Aizawa sighed, “Four someones actually, and I had just got them to leave before you woke up by saying you wouldn't like all the noise. I'll tell them you're awake and your situation and they should be back within the hour.”
After that Aizawa left, and Katsuki thought be was going to be alone for a while. Turns out it was only about ten minutes before someone came in the room.
“Baku! Good to see you're back in the land of the living!” a fully pink girl with weird eyes strutted into the room and Katsuki raised an eyebrow.
“Uh, thanks?” She looked over to him after he said this and raised both of her eyebrows.
“Oh, right, amnesia. Welp,” she strutted over and flopped down at the end of the bed, crossing her legs, “Nothing we can do about that but jog some memories.”
He sat further up in the bed, “And how the fuck do you propose we do that?”
Mina tapped a glittery nail to her chin, “Maybe we should just talk about memories? Like… oh! Like that time Kami licked an electric fence and went so over his watt limit that I got him to wear a bear suit and do orange justice!”
Katsuki snorted at that, “How the fuck did it not kill him?”
She rolled her eyes, ”His quirk is electricity so he just absorbed all the power the face had, which was a lot.”
As the two laughed, Katsuki remembered vaguely another time he did this, just sitting there laughing with a friend. He wasn't able to remember much though, so right after he remembered he looked over to Mina, but before he could do anything two guys strolled into the room.
The first was tall, with plain black hair, tired eyes, and an easygoing smile. The other was short in comparison with a wide smile and bright blond hair (and was that a black lightning bolt dyed in his fringe?).
“BAKUGOU'S BACK!” The blond yelled, before diving on top of Katsuki and hugging him, though he only lasted a minute before he was shoved off and onto the floor.
“I heard sleeping beauty here doesn't remember anything,” the taller one said, slipping onto the couch along the wall.
Mina nodded, “Yep! I'm telling him some memories to try and jog his memory. Oh! That's Sero,” she pointed to the tall one, “And that's Kaminari,” she pointed to the blond.
He nodded just as the blond piped up, “Has Kiri come in yet?”
Mina shakes her head this time and the three all give each other a grin before settling in. It's silent a moment before Kaminari pipes up.
“Yo, Sero, you remember that time Mina stole all of your oranges and weed to make face masks while high for a YouTube video and you taped her to the ceiling for four hours.”
Mina stuck her tongue out at them, “I remember that you guys stole my makeup and somehow convinced Bakugou to give you a makeover.”
Katsuki raised an eyebrow, “I gave those two a makeover?” ‘I know how to apply makeup?’
“Three,” Sero shook his head, “It was Kiri who got you do do it. Obviously, as he's the only one who can get you to do anything.”
Kaminari snorted, “All he has to do is bat those big eyes at you or give a small frown and you’ll do absolutely anything for him.”
Katsuki heard a tone in his voice that suggested this wasn't their first time discussing this, and he frowned in confusion, the frown deepening when Sero and Mina hummed in agreement. He opened his mouth to ask what, exactly, they meant by that but suddenly-
Suddenly one last person entered the room, and Katsuki nearly had to shield his eyes from how brightly he smiled. His bright red hair was distracting and his sharp teeth we were mildly concerning and his fashion sense was horrifying.
He was the most beautiful thing Katsuki had seen since waking up.
His smiled only brightened when he saw Katsuki sitting up and he didn't hesitate before jumping onto the bed and hugging him tightly, “Bakugou!”
Instead of pushing him off as he had Kaminari, Katsuki hesitantly wrapped his arms around the redhead, resting his forehead on his shoulder. This must be the “Kiri” everyone kept talking about.
“Of course he doesn't get thrown off,” muttered Kaminari, but there was a smugness in his tone that almost made Katsuki blush.
The other boy backed out of the hug but stayed sitting in front of him, which he'd never admit he was grateful for, “Oh yeah! You don't remember me! I'm Kirishima Eijirou!”
Katsuki squinted at him, thinking of all the others had said and his own reaction to seeing him, “Are we dating?”
Kirishima went red and the other three burst into laughter, “N-no? Why do you?”
Katsuki looked away, a faint pink dusting his cheeks, “Sorry. It's just that you're hot and they have been talking about how I treat you special all day and you seem happiest to see me awake…”
“I'm hot?” Katsuki hears him whisper, before looking up confusedly, “You don't treat me special.”
“Kiri,” Kaminari began, “Even when he doesn't remember you he treats you special. When I came in and hugged him he shoved me off. When you hugged him he hugged you back.”
Kirishima looked back at Katsuki with wide eyes, “O-oh.”
Katsuki rolls his eyes, “Okay, so we all know I'm attracted to you,” Kirishima splutters at that, “But are you attracted to me?”
Kirishima looked away with a blush and whispered, “Isn't it obvious that I am?”
Katsuki smiled at that, reaching forward to tilt Kirishima's face back towards him. He leans forward and presses their lips together chastely before freezing as he sees something in his mind's eye.
Figures shooting across the sky.
An outstretched hand.
An encouraging yell.
Relieved grins.
Katsuki jerks back with a gasp as he is assaulted with the memory, and Kirishima’s eyes widened in concern.
“Bakugou! Are you alright!?”
Katsuki looks up at him, dazed and grinning, “I remembered something, you saving me.”
“Kamino,” Kirishima whispers in awe, and Sero snorts somewhere behind him.
“Kirishima has magic kisses!”
Katsuki's grin turned sharper, his eyes flinty with intent, “If you three could leave, that'd be great.”
“Cause I plan on kissing him ‘til I can remember everything.”
