It was a winter night.
A very tiring winter night.
Bakugou Katsuki was laying on a bench, freezing and suffering. Why was he here? Because of two adults pretending to be parents. He knew parents were not supposed to act like that. Hitting him before locking him outside. He was used of taking care of himself but it was the first time it was in such a cold. He was not enough clothed for this. Barefoot, shorts and a t-shirt. Most of his injuries were not even healed. Most people were looking at him with that pity he hated. This night was going to be very long. He was hungry too.
"Hey, are you alive?" Bakugou's head moved so quickly that he scared the boy talking to him. He recognised Monoma Neito. But why would this arrogant blond who belittled class A care about his well-being? "... I'm fine." Of course it was a lie. How could a young boy, beaten up and shakening from the cold, be fine? "Can you walk?" Bakugou was annoyed. Why wouldn't he leave him alone? "I can." Monoma then grabbed his wrist, what made Bakugou shiver. He tried to scream against Monoma but he talked before he could. "Follow me." Well... he did not have anything else to do. It was better than staying here.
They walked in silence. Bakugou quickly understood they were going to Monoma's house. He will be able to eat, heal his wounds and gets dressed. Monoma was... unexpectedly kind. He was careful, checking if Bakugou was fine as he walked. When they got in his house, Monoma made some food, telling where were the first-aid kit and clothes he could borrow. Bakugou cleaned his injuries, took some of Monoma's clothes and went back to the kitchen.
"Where are your parents?" Why would Monoma be alone at home? He even left late. "They're away don't worry. They wouldn't even care if they were here." Bakugou looked at him, thinking that maybe they had something in common. "They don't love you?" Monoma gave him a plate, laughing a bit about what Bakugou. "No they don't. Because of my Quirk. It seems your parents don't love you either." Bakugou ate a bit, not looking at Monoma while nodding. "Well I don't know what I can do but you can come here if they expell you again." Bakugou was surprised. Someone actually believed him? "You... you believe me?" Monoma smiled at him, sitting in front of him. "Of course I do. I'm being neglected and it's not the same thing as you being abused but I wasn't believed either." Both their personalities and Quirks were looking mean. They had so much in common. "I... I would like to ask you a service. I hope one day it will help me to get out of that situation." Monoma took a piece of paper and wrote his phone number on it. "I'll do anything I can."
Three longs days at home.
Three longs days, almost eating nothing.
Bakugou was so hungry and tired. But he chose to run away to Monoma's house. His friend will help him and he will be able to eat. He was trusting Monoma enough with that. But his actual plan did not started yet. What if Monoma was just pretending to help him? What if he betrayed him? He can't try that. If his parents learn about that, he will suffer even more. However seeing Monoma smiling at him, talking and sharing his dreams. Looking happy when most of the time he looks so lonely.
"Monoma. I think I should start the plan I thought about." Monomq grabbed his hand, looking at him seriously. "As you want Bakugou. Tell me what's your plan." Bakugou showed some pictures he had on his phone. Pictures he took from the abused he was living. "I'll send you all of them. Keep them and one day, I'll trust an adult enough to tell them and lead them to you." Monoma hugged Bakugou, happy to be trusted that much. "That's great Katsuki! I just hope it will be soon. I don't want to see you suffer more." That day, even if they knew each other for not that long, they started using their first names. Because they were both hurt by the ones they should be loved by.
"Katsuki, I swear I'll be there, no matter what."
Monoma looked at the pictures. He could not ignore having abuse evidences in his phone. What his friend was living was awful. He knew about physical abuse but sexual abuse never came into his mind. How were they similar? He was living a very good life compared to Bakugou. He just wanted to scream against any adults, to make them help Bakugou. Seeing such a deep scar on his throat, seeing broken after rape... it was heartbreaking. Monoma wants to do more for his friend. But he won't betray his friend.
Finally that day arrived.
Finally that day, where an adult believed in Bakugou arrived.
Monoma was first surprised. Aizawa, teacher of the class A, wanted to talk to him out of everyone. But he quickly understood what was the purpose of this discussion. Bakugou was ready. He trusted someone to take care of him.
Monoma smiled, even if a part of him was hurt. He showed the pictures, knowing it was the last thing he will do for Katsuki. He will not be needed anymore.
That's what he thought. But right after Bakugou came back from home, they stayed together. Talking, having fun. Katsuki was near him instead of his friends or his boyfriend. "Katsuki, why are you here with me?" He finally asks, his insecurities breaking his usual confidence. "What do you mean?" Monoma was avoiding visual contact. Was he really going to say that? "You got what you want from me, I won't be mad if you go to your actual friends." Katsuki grabbed Monoma's face to make him look at him. "Neito, you are one of my friends. I didn't become friend with you because you could help me." Katsuki hugged him tightly. "Really? Sorry... I'm not used of someone liking me when I'm not useful for them."
"I'm not your parents Neito. I'll be there with you."
