[ It's late when there's a soft knock on the door. Kaminari knows Bakugou usually goes to bed early and even he doesn't usually bother the other blonde, but today was... very different.

When the explosive teen opens the door, he'll be greeted by a messy electric blonde, still in his school uniform and big fat tears running down his cheeks. He's ruddy and red-eyed, apparently having been bawling for some time. ]

Kacchan...

[When Katsuki wakes up to knocking on the door it instantly sours his mood and he yanks open the door with more force than necessary.

Whatever threat he'd been prepared to hurl dies on his lips, expression shifting from rage to confusion to... concern.

Kaminari looks rough.

After a moment he steps back and jerks his head to the side to motion for Kaminari to come in.]

[ Kaminari steps inside, a little unsteady and trying to calm down, but all it does is make it worse. He doesn't even know what to say or how to start, and just ends up burying his head on the other blonde's shoulder and weeping like a small child. ]

[Katsuki stiffens at first, not expecting the contact. He's not the best at comforting people and he wonders why him and not Kirishima?

But after a moment he wraps his left arm around Kaminari's waist to support him, guiding him in enough so he can shut the door. Giving Kaminari privacy.

His right hand moves to Kaminari's upper back, rubbing circles. Slow and, he hopes, soothing.]

Go ahead and get it all out.

[ He's honestly not sure why he didn't go to Kiri or Sero either, but somehow it feels like the angry teen would more easily keep his wailing to himself rather than involve the whole squad.

He loves his friends but he can't take more than one person right now.

It is soothing, and even if he's cried way too much tonight it finally feels like he can let go. Get it all out and stain that sleep shirt with tears and snot. ]

I'm sorry, I... my mom...

[Katsuki grimaces at the wet feeling of tears and snot soaking through his shirt. But he lets it happen. And once he seems capable of speech again, Katsuki guides him to sit down on the bed.

He sits close so Kaminari can keep leaning on him. And he keeps an arm hooked around him.]

Take your time. I'm not gonna bite your head off.

[ Kaminari slowly slumps down on the bed, wiping his face with a sleeve. He really appreciates the silent but stable comfort, so utterly out of character but exactly what he needs right now.

He sniffs, so drained from all the crying and pretty sure he's spent a year's worth of tears. ]

My mom's dead. There... there was a car accident. [ He wipes his face again. ] My dad might not make it, either.

Shit...

[Katsuki can't even begin to imagine how that feels. His relationship with his mother is strained and kind of messed up. But the idea of losing her...

He wraps his other arm around Kaminari. Hugs... aren't really his thing. But this is definitely a unique situation. So he gives Kaminari a squeeze.]

Shit. I'm... I'm so sorry.

[He feels so out of his depth. He doesn't know what Kaminari needs right now. But he chose to come here. To him.]

You can stay here tonight if you want. If you don't want to be alone. Or did you... wanna go to the hospital?

[ It's probably a little shitty to dump all of this on Bakugou, but he really needs someone. That squeeze is really nice, but he shakes his head at the mention of going to the hospital. ]

I've been there all day after Aizawa-sensei told me. They wanted me to go home and sleep but how am I gonna sleep if I don't know if I'll wake up an orphan?

[ He buries his face in his hands. ]

Can I just... stay here for a while?

[He swallows back the urge to point out he offered that Kaminari could stay. His mind must be a mess right now.]

Yeah. You can stay. Did you want me to help take your mind off things? Or you just want to lay down with me for a bit?

[ Yeah, he's barely following along. There's so much on his mind, and he's exhausted after all the panic and crying. ]

I don't... can we lie down for a while?

[ He sighs. ]

What am I gonna do?

[Katsuki doesn't really do the cuddling thing. The most he allows is for Kirishima and Kaminari to occasionally hang off him or lean on him.

But once they lay down, he pulls Kaminari in, letting him cuddle up to him. Because he pays attention and he knows Kaminari is a lot more of a physical affection person.

He's having an exceptionally shitty night and he deserves whatever comfort Katsuki can give. At least that part is easier than words. That's... a tough question.]

You're gonna lay here and try to get some rest. Even if you don't sleep. At least close your eyes to give 'em a break. Okay? I'll stay up with you.

[ Kaminari's too messed up to question the cuddle offer, only realizing Bakugou-fucking-Katsuki is holding him once he's comfortable against the other teen's chest.

It's surreal but just want he needs, because it's true - he thrives the most on physical affection. Bakugou really would be a great hero, stepping in where it truly counted... and a great friend. ]

Okay. I... can try that.

[ He's so tired yet wired so tight at the same time, and every time he closes his eyes all he can se are his parents faces. ]

[He already knows he probably won't have the right words right now. But he keeps an arm snug around the other blonde's waist.

But he can stay up with him and hold onto him. He brings his other hand up to pet Kaminari's hair. Back when he was still young enough to accept it, that was how his father used to comfort him when he was upset.]

[ The points of contact are soothing, and the hand strong back his hair is as comforting to Kaminari as it was to the other blonde as a child. Maybe he should be embarrassed about all of this, but there's not enough in him to care. For all their fighting and training, they're still 16-year-olds.

Even if he's full of heartache and fear, bodies can only take so much stress and he does end up slowly falling asleep in Bakugou's bed. ]

[Katsuki stays up with him until he's sure Kaminari has fallen asleep. Only then will he let himself doze off. It's an unfamiliar feeling to have someone else sleeping so close. But soon he's dozing off too.]

[ He sleeps for almost four hours before his cellphone starts making Pikachu battle sounds, and he awkwardly tries to find it in his pants. He doesn't even know here he is at first, just throwing the phone to his ear.

There's a few moments of silence, and then the phone pops from battery overload, making him yeet it across the room. ]

[When he first rouses to the sound of pokemon battle music, he's annoyed. Forgetting the previous night's events, he makes an irritated sound and grumbles about murdering people for waking him up.

When he opens his eyes to see Kaminari in his bed he's very confused. And then it all comes back just as the phone pops.

That phonecall can't have been good news. It makes something awful settle in his stomach as he watches Kaminari, trying to read him.]

[ He looks really empty, like he's disassociating into a sad version of whey-mode. He drops his hands down into his lap and then finally moves a little, even if it's just to lie down again. On his back, facing the ceiling. ]

...guess I'm the last Kaminari.

[Shit. Losing both parents back to back like that... worst case scenario. The exact thing Kaminari had been afraid to wake up to.

Are there even words that can help right now? If there are, he doesn't know them. Everything he can think of feels so hollow.

He reaches over and covers Kaminari's hand with his own. And he... tries to find some words. Kind of rough. But he tries.]

Shit's gonna suck. Probably for a long time. But you're gonna get through it. You got a lot of people here who aren't going to let this drag you down. So... cry. Get mad. Whatever you need to let out, let it out.

[ His head is spinning wildly and he's not sure why he's not breaking into desperate crying again. Instead he just lies there, listening to Bakugou and feeling his hand on his own.

Cry? He can't cry any more, there's just nothing there but numbness now. Get mad? There's nothing to get mad at. There was no villain attack or even a drunk driver hitting them. They hit an ice patch wrong and careened off the road into a tree.

There isn't even any electricity flying wild. He feels like a drained battery. ]

...how am I gonna survive this?

[Kaminari looks so... numb. And that's a lot scarier than any villain they've ever come up against. Crying was... manageable. Anger he could take.

But this empty despair is...

Is he really the best person to be handling this? Should he wake Kirishima? Call Aizawa-sensei? Someone else, anyone else would be better suited to walking Kaminari through this.

He's afraid to leave Kaminari alone right now.]

Can't talk like that. This isn't going to break you. You're not that weak. I know you're not.

[Is this the right way to approach this? He doesn't know. He really doesn't.]

You're going to get through this. You're going to keep putting one foot in front of the other. And if I gotta carry you half the way, I'll damn well do it. I know I'm not the only one that feels that way. You aren't alone.

Edited 2022-03-21 21:05 (UTC)

[ He keeps staring up into the ceiling, but his fingers lace with Bakugou's as a sign that he is actually listening. Kaminari's whole life just fell apart and he's speedrunning all the stages of grief in his friend's room at who-knows-o-clock.

With Bakugou, too, who is helping his sorry ass yet again. ]

I... thank you. That means a lot. I just... I don't want anyone else to know right now. I can't handle all the pitying faces.

[ Reaching up, Kaminari brushes his hair back with a joyless smile. ]

I have to go back to the hospital and have Aizawa-sensei sign a bunch of papers. Maybe I can stay in he dorms until we graduate.

Not in the habit of running my mouth.

[He lets Kaminari's fingers lace with his. He's not about to deny him much of anything right now.]

If you want to come back here when you're done and hide out from the idiot patrol, you can. I can handle harboring you like a fugitive for a while.
