《Unmasked (Depressed Bakugou x Todoroki)》Carnival
Advertisement
⚠️⚠️
I locked myself in my room. I am never want leave it, again. It's been three days and me and Todoroki haven't talked since. I've cut more, cried more. Why was he affecting me so much. It's not like we are close so why.
There's a knock on the door. I know it definitely isn't Todoroki, he's been ignoring me. I don't answer. If the knocker was serious about talking to me they'd talk first or try to open the door and find it locked.
"Bakubro." I hear Kirishima's voice, "It's been a while. You don't really talk to anyone anymore. Can we help?" We?
"Hey, Bakugou." I heard Kaminari say.
"What's up Bakugou!" Mina spoke. I guessed Sero was there too.
"Sup, Bakugou." Yep.
"I'm busy at the moment." I tell them.
"You haven't been busy for three days. Come on there is this carnival that we can go to tomorrow."
"I'll get back to you on it." I said. I heard their footsteps as they walked out. Maybe an outing would be good for me. Especially if it distracts me from all this stupid drama. I open the door slightly and look to see if Todoroki was there. I hope he is with Deku or something. Even so, Todoroki wouldn't talk to me. Does he really think I'm a traitor?
There's no signs of him, or anyone, so I quickly leave my bedroom and go to the bathroom that me and Todoroki share. I closed and locked the door and made my way to the mirror.
I looked at myself. Bad decision. I had terrible bags under my eyes and pretty much looked dead. I wish I was dead. It wouldn't make a difference. I could do it so easily too. Just a knife to the heart, hanging, jumping off a roof. A painful death for a painful existence. No one would care. The one person who I thought actually cared, wouldn't care. He won't even talk to me. I break down into tears, and cry.
I head over to the toilet, as I feel something coming up. I throw up and cough. Result for not eating in weeks, possibly even a month. I should really eat something. But I can't bring myself too. Maybe I'll starve to death. Still painful and I'd be fine with it. Everyone would be. My parents don't care about me, there's barely anything at home. I finish throwing up and flush the vomit down the toilet.
I walk back over to the sink and wash my hands and face. Maybe if I had told Todoroki I saw someone, I wouldn't be in this situation. But they didn't really look like a traitor. They weren't doing anything were they?
I left the bathroom and saw Todoroki coming inside the dorm. Crap I can't let him see me like this. I turn back and go into the bathroom.
I lock myself inside. I'll just wait until he leaves.
"Hey, Todoroki." Mina came up to me. Which is weird because she never talks to me.

"Hi." I said with a blank expression on my face.
"What are you doing tomorrow night?" She asked me.
"Sleeping."
Mina laughed, "So you're not busy tomorrow."
I nod. She gives me a thumbs up and asks me,
"Want to go to a carnival with me and some friends."
"Sure I'll go." I have nothing else to do. As long as Bakugou isn't there I will be fine.
Right Bakugou. I don't know if he is the traitor. I don't know what to think. But anyone could be the traitor. I shouldn't have been so mean to Bakugou. He has barely left his room, hasn't eaten in who knows how long, and probably isn't sleeping. I should probably talk to him, apologize.
"Todoroki?" I heard Mina's voice.
"Yes?" I say.
"Nothing, you kind of blanked for a second. You were just staring off into space."
"Sorry, I was thinking." I told her.
"Okay. So you're going to the carnival?"
Sure. See you tomorrow." I start walking to my dorm.
"Todoroki." Mina said from behind me. I turn around and look at her.
She hesitates, "Nothing. See you tomorrow."
I shrug it off and walk away. When I get to the dorm I hear the sound of a door close. Bakugou must have just been in the bathroom or something. I shrug it off and sit in a chair in the area the little living area that we have that leads to our rooms. I get on my phone and start playing some games. I had nothing else to do.
After a few minutes I heard a door a door open slightly. I ignore it. It's just Bakugou. The door closes again. He probably saw me and decided not to leave his room.
I get up and head towards the bathroom for obvious reasons. When I get there I put my hand on the knob to open it but it doesn't open. I try again. Is it locked? Should I use my quirk? I try one more time to open the door. Is Bakugou in there?
I knock on the door.
"Occupied." He spoke quietly.
"Well if you don't mind hurrying. I have to use it." I say bluntly, my voice monotone.
After a few seconds I hear a click and the door opens. Bakugou exits too quickly and immediately goes into his room. I barely saw his face as he left. I went into the bathroom and used the toilet. When I finished I washed my hands and before I could leave I saw something on the floor. It wasn't anything unnatural it was just a red stain on the floor. It looked new.
When I bent down to look at it I saw another red stain near it. I examined it and I could clearly tell what it was. It was blood.
What? That can't be. Who's blood is it. Wait...
Oh no. I leave the bathroom and walk into my room, closing the door behind me.

There was a knock on the door. I quickly opened it and saw Midoriya and Mina. They wave and I wave back.

"Everyone else is outside. You ready?" Midoriya asks. I nod and before I exit Mina asks me a question.
"Is Bakugou coming?" She looks past me.
"Bakuou?"
"We invited him yesterday before we invited you. He said he might."
Before I could answer the question Bakugou exited his room. He looked a bit charming. He has a simple white shirt on with a black jacket and black pants. He had white converses.
"Looking good Bakugou!" Mina gave a thumbs up.
"Yeah you look great!" Midoriya added.
"Are we gonna stand here all night giving me compliments? Let's go." He responded.
We all took our leave. It was the weekend and Aizawa was notified that we'd be out. The people going with us to the carnival were Mina, Kirishima, Midoriya, Uraraka, Kaminari, Sero, and Jirou.
It wasn't far. Just a few minute walk to the place. I kept eyeing Bakugou. More specifically his arms and hands. They were shaking just a little bit. He was still scared. I wanted to talk to him but I couldn't. I was overreacting and I should tell him. I'll probably do it at the carnival. But for now I just walk beside him, inching closer and closer to him.
"We're here!" Kirishima shouted!
"What should we do first!" Mina asked.
"Get tickets for rides and games." Jirou pointed at the booth with a line of people waiting to pay for tickets.
"Let's pool our money together and get as many tickets as possible!" Kaminari stated, pulling out 15 bucks. Midoriya pulled out the same amount. Uraraka pulled 2 dollar bills from the purse she was carrying.
Before anyone else could take out any money I took out mine. I have 65 dollars in cash.
"Will this help?" I asked blankly.
"Dude you're too rich." Sero groaned.
We used our money and all 9 of us got 20 tickets. We all split up. The girls went with each other, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero went with each other which left me, Bakugou, and Midoriya.
"So what did you guys want to do first?" Midoriya asked us, looking at all the games we could play.
"I don't know. I've never been to a carnival before." I told him.
"Lets go over there!" Bakugou pointed around the game where kids were using water guns to shoot sea creatures to win a prize.
"Why not." I shrugged.
Midoriya nodded and we went over when the kids were finished. A little girl carrying a stuffed animal that she had won.
"Two tickets each." The woman manning the game said. We each tore off two tickets that we had and gave it to her. She explained the rules of the game.
"Shoot the creatures to make them go from left to right. Whoever gets their creature across first gets the prize." She pointed at the row of stuffed animals.
"Ready." We all nodded and she activated the water guns. We immediately started spraying the sea creature that was ours. I ended up winning. Bakugou getting second place. Midoriya landing last.
"Congratulations. Which one do you want?" She went over to the row of animals.
"I'll get that one." I pointed at the blonde Pomeranian plush. She got it from the row and handed it to me.
"Thanks for playing." She said as we walked off.
"What next?" I asked.
"Lets go on the Ferris Wheel!" Midoriya pointed to the huge spinning object.
I looked over at Bakugou, who responded with, "I don't give a fuck."
We walked over to it and met Uraraka and Jirou.
"Hi guys!" Uraraka waves from the line.
Me and Midoriya waved back.
"Wheres Mina?" I asked.
The girls shrugged, Jirou answering, "She just disappeared."
We got into the line with the girls, and started talking. After a minute of waiting Kaminari joined us. Kirishima and Sero went off to go play a game while they wait for us. When we got to the front of the line the man told us only two people at a time. Uraraka got on with Deku. Jirou got on with Kaminari and I got on with Bakugou. Now was the perfect time to talk.
"So Bakugou-" he interrupts me.
"I don't wanna hear it. I know." The Ferris wheel started moving up.
"I don't think you do. And before you interrupt just let me talk," I say. He nods.
"I'm sorry. I was being a little hard on you. You were probably just scared. I don't think you are the traitor."
He nods. "I'll forgive you...if you trust me again." He says. I nod, smiling a little.
"When we get off this ride I have to tell you something." I tell him.
"Sure but first we gotta get away from stupid Deku." He laughs a bit.
The Ferris wheel stops when we in midair. Letting Uraraka and Midoriya get off. We see them laughing. It moves one more time and stops so Jirou and Kaminari can get off. Next is the two of us. We hop off and meet the others. Kirishima and Kaminari there as well.
We split up again. This time it's me and Bakugou alone. Midoriya decided to go with Uraraka and Jirou. They were also going to find Mina.
I led Bakugou to an area between two games.
"So what do you wanna talk about now?" He said. I reluctantly grabbed his hand and he looked at me, confused. I lifted his jacket sleeve and saw healing cuts.
"Bakugou.."
He takes his hand away from mine, quickly and pulls his sleeve back down.
"H-how did you find out." His voice cracked.
I felt tears threaten to fall. It really is Bakugou's blood. He really does. I was too shocked to say anything. A tear rolled down Bakugou's face as he ran away. Leaving me shocked and staring at the spot Bakugou had been in.
