Chapter Text
Bakugo sat in the brown leather chair in his therapist’s office.He shook his right leg, moving the bottom of his black jeans up and down. He spun the silver fidget spinner in his hand, as he waited for Dr. Rosa who was running late. A few minutes later, she walked in with a pile of papers in her hand. She wore a kelly green sweater dress and red heels that matched her red necklace that had red beads on them.
“Hi, sorry about the tardiness. That darn printer was acting up again.”
“No problem.”
“So, before we get into the meat of this session, how are you doing?”
“I’m doing alright. Fucking tired but that’s pretty typical.”
“Oh that sucks.”
“Yeah, and now that Khana is getting us ready for the Winter Gala I’ve been busy with that and work.”
“Hm, you know now that I think about it, I really haven’t asked you about Khana much. Tell me about how this Winter Gala prep is going.”
“I mean I think it’s going fine but Khana doesn’t. She wants everything related to us at the gala to be fucking perfect.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, I mean it makes sense. This is the first time she is going to a formal event like this with a date.”
“I bet she is excited huh?”
“Yeah, she is excited, and nervous, even though I keep telling her that she shouldn’t be.”
Dr. Rosa smiled and started to chuckle subtly under her breath, but not so subtly that Bakugo wouldn’t notice.
“What is so funny?” he asked.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I wasn’t laughing at you. I just like how sweet you are with her. It’s nice seeing this side of you.”
“Really?”
“Yes. I can tell that you two make a great couple. You two really support each other.”
“Yeah, we do.”
“She helps you when you feel anxious and you help her when she is worried about events and how she looks.”
“And other things but yes I do help her with those things.”
“Yes, speaking of things that help. I thought we could talk about something in this session that you could benefit from significantly.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean,I would like to discuss some medication for your anxiety. It could help with the nightmares too.”
“I don’t want to do meds or any of that freaky shit.”
“I understand why you would be hesitant. A lot of my clients are, but I think it would be worth taking into consideration.”
“I don’t know.”
“We would start you on a small dose and if you like it and want to try a higher dose we could try that, but I always start small with my clients who are new to medication.”
Dr. Rosa handed him the papers she was holding in her lap, which had information about some of the options she had in mind for him. He looked at the papers and then looked back at her with a raised eyebrow that was filled with skepticism.
“Just think about it, and let me know the next time I see you.”
