Hikkokomori Adventures Vol 3

44: Oh, I'm not gonna make the same mistakes

Izuku smiles, the thought of having everyone over again without having to leave his house a nice one. He can even go by himself to get streamers or something from the store! He doesn't think they would have any big cakes in the convenience store, but he can always just ask his mom if she can pick one up with Mitsuki! Katsuki gets more comfortable, fully on his bed now, his hand patting around for something.

Izuku notices, and quickly goes over to his T.V, taking both of their controllers out from the charging station, thinking about what kind of streamers would be appropriate for a 'Congratulations on your test' party as he makes his way over to him.

"I don't need some big fucking party, nerd. If you wanna do something, then let's just go somewhere."

Izuku feels that familiar nervousness bubbling up when he thinks of ever going outside, but he focuses on the smooth, cool surface of his controller in his hands as he gives Katsuki his own. His smile faulters slightly, 

"Where would we go?"

The blonde's eyes are focused on the T.V as the console switches on, before they flicker over to him, his whole body seemingly relaxed on his bed, on his side now. 

"Dunno, there is a park near here, we can get shit from the vending machines or something."  

Izuku rests his back on the side of his bed, sitting on the floor. If he can go to the to the convenience store on his own, then he's bound to be able to walk around with Bakugou for a bit. But you won't be in a building this time, his brain supplies. You'll be all out in the open, for anyone to see. In such an open space, Bakugou and him can suddenly be separated, and that would leave him all alone with no one to help him. 

Even if he brings his pepper spray with him, what use will it be in the dark with a big group? There is no way anyone else will be out so late anyway, right? What would be the chances?

"That sounds fun! We could walk around in a brightly lit, populated, and small area!" 

Katsuki picks a game, the intro streaming into the room as the blonde picks his character, a clicking sound signaling each of the cursor's movements.

"We'll walk near the buildings, nerd."

Thats how Izuku finds himself death gripping Bakugou's hand as they leave the house, the door shutting with a small thump. Bakugou walks forward, leading the way. Izuku refuses to even fall behind a bit, right next to him. The blonde starts to speak, 

"When we get back, we should start building a new base. If I have to start over for the fiftieth time, I'm going to throw my fucking controller out of the damn window!" 

Izuku focuses on what he's saying instead of the blood pounding in his ears.

"The zombies can reach you pretty well if you rush them, and when the cop one shows up, we need to run right away, we don't have any good equipment right now."
