《Mending the Battle Wounds (TodoBakuDeku)》Chapter 15
Advertisement
Mina loudly knocked on the door, the rest of the friend group standing behind her, not so sure abou ther plan. She didn't stop hitting the door until Katsuki finally opened it. "What the hell do you want?" He asked, obviously not in a good mood.
She didn't answer, just barged into his room with the other three following after. Kirishima sent him an apologetic look as he passed.
"What're you dumbasses doing?" He asked. He was anything but thrilled they had just walked into his room, but he should have expected it.
"You've been moping since Friday. Why won't you just go talk to him?" Mina asked, taking a seat on his bed. Sero sat next to her while Kaminari and Kirishima plopped themselves onto the ground in front of the bed, leaning back to rest against it.
"What're you talk about? I haven't been moping." He said with disgust on his face.
"You barely leave this room unless it's to get food or train and when you do, you refuse to talk to anyone. It's Sunday and you haven't bothered yelling at any of us since school on Friday. Something is clearly wrong." Mina said. She had taken the lead in their little intervention, seeing as it was her idea. The boys were mainly their for moral support and to make sure Katsuki didn't blow something up.
Katsuki was quiet for a second as he tried to think of an acceptable excuse. "You guys just haven't been as annoying since then." He said while crossing his arms and sending them all a glare as he leaned against the wall of his room. There wasn't exactly anywhere for him to sit.
Mina gave him a deadpan look. "Kaminari shortciruited while making toast and you didn't even spare him a glance."
"What'd you expect me to do?" He shot back.
"He was in your way and instead of pushing him, you went the other way around the island! Now, tell us what's wrong." She said, not appreciating how hard he was trying to get out of the converstation.
When Katsuki didn't say anything, Kirishim piped up. He was already cringing before he said anything. "Don't push us away."

"Get the fuck out." Katsuki said, glaring directly at him, but talking to everyone.
"This is why we agreed that I'd be the one doing all the talking!" Mina said, smacking Kirishima's arm.
"But it's true! He fought with Midoriya because someone finally called him out and he doesn't know how to deal with that, so he's going to push everyone away to prove him wrong that he doesn't need anyone." Kirishima defended.
"Get the hell out of my room." Katsuki said, still scarily calm all things considered.
"No, we just want-"
"Fine, then I'll leave." The blond said, turning and walking right out of his room.
The four teens left in the room exchanged looks. "I mean, we got him to leave, right?" Kaminari said with a shrug.
Katsuki had no idea where he was gonna go. It's not like he really had any more friends to hide out with. He was so caught up in his thoughts, he didn't notice when he ran right into someone.
"Oh, sorry- Kacchan?" Izuku said.
Katsuki schooled his features quickly, sending a glare to the other boy. "Why're you on this floor?" He asked.
"I was actually coming to see you- Whoa, where're we going?" Izuku asked as Katsuki grabbed his arm and dragged him to the stairs. The door of the stairwell closed just as the door to Katsuki's room opened.
"Your dorm." He responded, still leading the way.
"Okay?" Izuku said, still confused.
They remained in silence until they reached Izuku's dorm. "Oh, I should tell you-"
"Icyhot?" Katsuki asked, staring at Shoto who was sitting at Izuku's desk.
"-Todoroki's in my dorm." Izuku finished, even though it didn't matter.
"Yeah, I see that." Katsuki said with an eye roll. "Get out." He said, nodding his head towards the door.
"Kacchan, you can't just-"
"But I just did." Katsuki said, crossing his arms over his chest.
"He was kind of here first." Izuku said sheepishly, looking over at Shoto. The duel haired boy just shrugged, letting him know that he'd leave if Izuku asked him to.
"Do you want me to apologize or not, nerd?" Katsuki said lowly, hoping that only Izuku would hear it.

"Well I mean, I already know you're gonna do it, so why does it matter if I hear it or not?" Shoto spoke up. He was sitting backwards in Izuku's desk with his arms folded on the top of it.
Katsuki groaned and shot him a glare. "Just get out."
"Why? Too chicken to say it while I'm in here?" Shoto challenged with a blank face and raised brow.
Katsuki's glare became harsh, if it was even possible. He turned his attention back to Izuku who was just watching with mild shock.
"I'm... I'm... God damn it, I'm sorry, okay? I blew up at you for... calling me out... and I guess it wasn't exactly fair, considering you... were right... and I guess I don't have the right to blow up at you for anything considering middle school... so, yeah... that's it..." Katsuki said, nervously scratching the back of his head.
There was silence as Katsuki stared at the ground, worried about the outcome of his apology. His anxiety grew as the silence stretched.
Then a small body crashed into him, hugging him tightly. "I should be the one apologizing. I didn't mean to be so rude, I just don't exactly have a filter anymore, ya know?" Izuku mumbled into his chest.
Katsuki hesitantly wrapped his arms around Izuku before fully giving into the hug. He might have been just a tad bit touch starved.
"Does this mean English lessons are still happening tomorrow?" Shoto asked, completely ruining the moment. Again.
Neither boy moved, but Izuku laughed into the hug while Katsuki shot another glare at Shoto. "You're always ruining the god damn moment Icyhot. Read. the. room."
"Why? This way is more fun." Shoto said with a small smirk.
Izuku, still lightly giggling, released Katsuki and went over to Shoto. He grabbed his arm and pulled him out of the desk chair and over to stand next to Katsuki. Then he wrapped his arms around both of them, making it a group hug.
Neither of the other boys knew what to do. Hugging Izuku was one thing, but hugging each other in the process was completely different. They shared a look, both being to stubborn to actually give in.
Izuku huffed, grabbing one of each of their arms and manually wrapped it around the other. "There, stop being petty and just enjoy the group hug." He instructed.
With a sigh, Shoto fully gave in. Katsuki gave in after, thinking to himself that he won because he outlasted Shoto.
When they all pulled away, Katsuki sent a side glance to Shoto. "We never talk of this again, agreed?"
"Agreed." Shoto said with a nod.
Izuku huffed. "You're both ridiculous." He said.
"Well aware." Katsuki said, stretching himself out over Izuku's bed.
"Hey Kacchan? Who were you running from back there?" Izuku asked, taking a seat on his bed at the top where Katsuki wasn't laying. Shoto was back in the desk chair.
"The idiots tried to hold an intervention because apparently I've been moping or some shit." Katsuki said with an arm over his eyes.
"You have been moping." Shoto confirmed.
"Fuck off Icyhot." Katsuki shot back.
"Play nice you two. God, you bicker like an old married couple." Izuku said with a smirk, knowing he'd get a reaction out of them.
Katsuki sat up quicker than Izuku thought possible and Shoto sent him a rather hostile glare.
"What the hell did you just say about us?" Katsuki asked, clearly pissed off about the comment.
Izuku held his hands up in surrender, giggling slightly. "I was kidding, I was kidding, don't freak out." He said.
Katsuki's glare lingered for another second before he resumed his laying position. Shoto rested his chin on his arms and stared off into space.
Eventually Izuku got bored with just sitting and staring at a wall in silence, so he offered up a new solution. "Hey Kacchan, you still have to give Todoroki and I a dare." He mused.
Shoto moved so his forehead was on his arms instead of his chin. "Why would you remind him?"
Katsuki sat up, leaning back against the wall that Izuku's bed was pushed against. "Yeah, I actually have a dare now. For both of you." He said with a wicked smirk.
"Oh boy." Izuku said, worry seeping into his voice.

Cutting to Life: an NPC LitRPG (Battle Royale)
Nikola is an NPC in The World of Wills, a video game where players can feel sensations as if they were truly there. She leads a life of bloodshed and murder - that is, until one day she wakes up sapient. Just as she begins thinking real, non-scripted thoughts and making connections, she and the players in the game are told that if they die in the game, they die in real life - and it's time to get killing. But what of Nikola, the emerging AI consciousness? How does she win in a game that can only end in her being wiped from existence at the end of it all? - Updates Mondays and Fridays. Cutting to Life is a slow-burn LitRPG with a villainous (later anti-hero, or maybe still villainous, haha) female lead.It's told from the perspective of Nikola, an NPC within the World of Wills who's become sapient and is now mysteriously able to play the game as a PC. It's quite light for a LitRPG, but the system and stats become more of a focus later when Nikola herself can access them.The story gradually builds into a Battle Royale where the players' lives are on the line (if you die in the game, you die in real life), and only one party of savvy adventurers can win. They'll have to spend their time and stats wisely as dungeons promising rare gear float down from the sky - but is a legendary sword worth killing someone for, knowing they'll stay dead forever? - This story is told in third person, past tense.- This is a slow-burn LitRPG that spends a lot of time establishing its setting and characters, because I believe this will make for a better payoff in the end. As such, the Battle Royale doesn't start until chapter 30 or so.- Chapters are anywhere between 800 words and 3000 words long.- Book cover by Vixeona.Cutting to Life is also being posted on SPB and Scribble Hub.Thank you sincerely for reading.
