13: "Just Got a Few Issues Going On, Is All."

"Our universe grants every soul a twin -- a reflection of themselves -- the kindred spirit -- And no matter where they are or how far away they are from each other -- even if they are in different dimensions, they will always find one another. This is destiny; this is love."

- Julie Dillon

You sighed in exasperation before walking over to the door, swinging it open to reveal. . .

"Bakugou?"

He was still in his school uniform, his bag hanging off his shoulder as his hands remained in his pockets. His red eyes were glaring down at you, which didn't take you aback at all, seeming as it was a constant look for him. However, instead of a normal explanation as to why he was there, he replied with: "Where the hell were you today?"

You frowned at this. Why did he want to know? As far as you knew, he wanted you buried deep into the ground since middle school, maybe even earlier. "Um. . . Huh?"

"What are you, stupid?!" He shouted, his forehead creasing in his anger.

Ah, there he was. There was the Bakugou you knew.

You leaned against the doorframe, shrugging one of your shoulders and saying, "I was just here. Wasn't feeling it today. Why?"

He let out a very aggressive 'tch' noise before saying, "Dunce Face and Raccoon Eyes haven't shut up about you all day just because you didn't come to school. It's been pissing me off and I want to know what all the fucking fuss is about."

You had gotten used to his knack for nicknames in the first week of the school term, so you already knew who he was referring to, still deciding to correct him anyway. "Kaminari and Mina? That's sweet of them."

"It was also very annoying of them." He aggressively planted his hand on the wall next to you before saying, "Whatever is going on, whether it's a home thing or a friend thing, get it over with. Those two are annoying the hell out of me, including Deku and your other friends."

You knew Bakugou better to know the truth behind those words. Despite all of his actions in the past, you were still his closest friends. You chuckled awkwardly before saying, "It's uh. . . More of a soulmate thing than anything. Just got a few issues going on, is all."

It was funny, he almost seemed concerned for a second. But he masked it so quickly that you weren't even sure you saw it. "Has that Half-and-Half Bastard done something to you? I'll kick his fuckin' ass if he has!"

You chuckled, your heart warming knowing that there was someone that would look out for you. Even though Bakugou was a bit of a bitch most of the time, you knew you could trust him. Still, you chose to not let anything out, "Don't worry, just a few relationship issues. We'll get over it."

He stayed silent for a while, scanning your facial features with his eyes. You kept a smile on your face, reassuring him. Although, you knew he wasn't stupid. He decided to leave you alone. "Fine. Just let me know if he fucks up and I'll kick his ass so far that we'd see him on the moon if we looked through a telescope."

You couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't say anything as he turned around, saluting to you as a goodbye. "Bye, Bakugou! I love yooouuuuu~"

"LIKE HELL YOU DO!" He turned around as he got to your driveway when you said that, his face red with either anger or embarrassment as he flipped you off. You flipped him off as well, and he shook his head before turning around and walking back to the direction of his house. You chuckled as you heard him mumbling to himself.
